Four Hoosier seniors will play their final regular-season home game tonight

BY JOHN BAUERNFEIND jogbauer@indiana.edu @JohnBauernfeind

Senior walk-on Taylor Wayer described playing for the Hoosiers as a dream come true.

In his four years on the IU men’s basketball team, he has played a total of 36 minutes.

“You grow up as a kid, especially being from Indiana, it’s just the epitome of what you want to do with your basketball career is come play for IU,” Wayer said.

At 7 p.m., the Hoosiers (17-12, 7-9) will face the Nebraska Cornhuskers (17-11, 9-7) in their final home game of the season.

For seniors Wayer, Will Sheehey, Jeff Howard and Evan Gordon, it will be their final games played at Assembly Hall.

On Tuesday, the seniors each talked about their time at IU, and went into the lasting affects it has had on them.

Wayer said as a walk-on he knows his efforts get less recognition than others.

“It hits you pretty quick how hard you’re gonna have to work for very little recognition,” Wayer said. “I would go back and reassure myself that it’s all gonna be worth it in

the end.”

Sheehey said, if nothing else, he wants to be remembered as a player who gave it his all on the court.

“I just want to be remembered as a guy who played hard, gave it his all every second he was on the court,” Sheehey said.

Wayer joined the team in October his freshman year. Though the season hadn’t started, practices had.

At first a stranger to his new teammates, Wayer, who at the time was in class with Sheehey, said the Stuart, Fla., native recognized and reached out to him.

IU Coach Tom Crean said Sheehey will be remembered long after he leaves Indiana.

“And with Will, when it’s all said and done, long after this is done and years and decades pass, everyone will remember Will Sheehey for being a huge part of the comeback of this program,” Crean said.

Sheehey said he had many great memories playing for IU, citing the Christian Watford time-expiring 3-pointer to beat Kentucky in 2011 and his game-winning jumper against VCU in the second round of the 2012 NCAA Tournament to beat VCU. Sheehey said his entire career was filled

Robel addresses critique at strategic plan meeting

BY KATHRINE SCHULZE schulzek@indiana.edu @KathrineSchulze

A lone undergraduate, a handful of graduate students and faculty and staff showed up to the town hall meeting Tuesday to voice their concerns on the strategic plan face-to-face with the provost.

The meeting took place in the middle of the public comment period of the draft and was in the IU Auditorium.

Of the roughly 50,000 people either enrolled in or employed by IU, only 80 have commented on the online draft, Robel said.

Their comments ranged from complaints about salads to broader questions on the plan.

The plan isn’t one for address-

ing specific issues, but broad goals for the campus, Robel said.

“It’s not a strategic plan for the College of Arts and Sciences,” she said. “It’s not a strategic plan for the Maurer School of Law. It’s not a strategic plan for the School of Informatics. It’s a plan for the campus.”

The provost went through the Strategic Plan by the sections, briefly describing each committee’s intentions and then opening the room up to questions — and there were many.

An academic adviser for undergraduate students expressed his concern at IU’s lack of explanation of the value a liberal arts education can have and the absence of SEE TOWN HALL, PAGE 6

The Hutton Honors College building is located on Woodlawn Avenue and Seventh Street. Provost Lauren Robel’s Strategic Plan draft mentions establishing Hutton as a “central hub for interdisciplinary curricula.”

IU needs, he said.

“It will support students who wish to find ways to tie together their multiple passions and interests within their academic experience,” he said.

A value for interdisciplinary and multifaceted knowledge is present in the Hutton Mission Statement.

“We strive to ensure an enriched academic and social experience for our

students and to create an environment that fosters active, innovative learning,” the document states.

While Hutton will certainly become a large part of the push for interdisciplinary learning, Groth said he expects new opportunities forged between the College and the other schools at IU will also create opportunities for non-honors students.

Groth said enhanced

interdisciplinary education was asked for by students, faculty and staff.

“We heard this very clearly during our exploration of the undergraduate experience,” he said. “In other words, students, faculty and staff said it was important.

We heard them loud and clear and are eager to pursue this theme.”

Robel, BFC discuss Strategic Plan

BY GRACE PALMIERI gpalmier@indiana.edu @grace_palmieri

The Bloomington Faculty Council special meeting Tuesday was the main opportunity for Provost Lauren Robel to outline the Strategic Plan and address questions faculty had regarding it.

She said she hoped to clarify the most frequently asked questions she had received since the plan was released.

Robel made clear the distinction between the campus and the faculty.

“When I talk about the campus, I’m talking about the resources and the services that I am directly responsible for, but not the schools,” she said. “The deans and the faculty are responsible for the academic programs in the schools and the departments.”

Robel said the Strategic Plan “charts a vision for the academic aspects of the campus along a reasonable time horizon.”

Local churches offering services on Ash Wednesday Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, a Christian holiday, during which Christians make time for reflection and fasting.

This is a list of Bloomington churches and the services they will provide on the holiday, March 5.

FROM IDS REPORTS

The Hutton Honors College might take on a larger role if Provost Lauren Robel’s draft of the campus strategic plan is approved.

Increasing interdisciplinary education and opportunities is an idea highlighted throughout the strategic plan under many objectives.

One particular piece of this effort is the establishment of Hutton Honors College as a “central hub for interdisciplinary curricula.”

Students from almost all schools on campus and the College of Arts and Sciences take courses through the Honors College, Dennis Groth, vice provost of undergraduate education and cochair of the undergraduate life committee, said, and the College has an opportunity to create curricular offerings that explicitly accomplish interdisciplinary learning.

“We see tremendous interest and value in providing pathways for students that go beyond the standard major,” Groth said.

With many students pursuing multiple majors or multiple minors, an environment that fosters interdisciplinary learning is something

DiMarchi is among 11 inductees announced Tuesday and the entire class will be honored in an induction ceremony scheduled for May 21 at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

It must be specific to this place, account for trends and environment, be focused in order to guide activity at the campus level and flexible enough to allow for changing conditions, she said.

“This is not a plan for your school,” she said, addressing the faculty council. “This is not a plan for your department.

This is a plan occupying a different territory than that.”

In the fall, 11 teams, consisting of 167 students, faculty and staff, created the plan. So far this spring, Robel has met with deans and school policy committees.

She is working through constituency meetings.

“I want to start with an approach to this that is an approach of abundance, not scarcity,” she said. “That’s the way we have to operate because I think if our ideas are good enough, they will be funded. I’m confident of it.”

Not only BFC members, but all faculty were able to ask any questions they had about

the Strategic Plan.

Bob Kravchuk, professor and director of the masters of public affairs and online MPA, said though the Strategic Plan doesn’t include budgetary implications at this stage, he is asked about the financial pressure the Strategic Plan will have on the campus in the next 10 years.

“I know that you didn’t consider the budgetary implications of any of this at this stage and that is as it should be,” he said.

“But I’m wondering if we shouldn’t be talking at some point about the leveraging of information technology to reduce the marginal cost of delivering education on a proceed basis.”

In response, Robel admitted the plan creates many financial pressures on the campus. She said they are limited in increasing tuition and expanding the student body.

Faculty members went on to question how the financial hitches of the plan may

stand in the way of academic initiatives.

Robel said no matter what there will be tradeoffs.

“In one way, shape or form you’re always at some point along the continuum from centralization to decentralization,” she said. “It’s the movement that is actually important.”

Robel said if they make the compelling educational and research ideas laid out in the Strategic Plan sound worthwhile they will be able to get them funded.

They have to make the university believe in the plan, she said.

“How can we sharpen this idea to make it so compelling that the University wants to put the resources into it?” she said. “This is the process for that, we have to want it. We can’t want it if everything we say and every way we come at a problem is that it’s a zero sum gain. We can’t advance as a University that way. It’s not who we are.”

Math professor wins grant to help middle schoolers FROM IDS REPORTS

The National Science Foundation has given one IU professor $646,479 to conduct a study in different learning styles for math in middle school students.

Amy Hackenberg is an assistant professor of mathematics education in the School of Education and has started conducting the five-year study, a March 3 press release said.

“The research purposes of the project are to try to differentiate instruction in middle school classrooms, which is not a place where differentiated instruction tends to happen,” Hackenberg said in the release.

The drive for nationwide standards like Common Core continues, she

said, and there is increasing call for differentiated instruction, which is teaching that adjusts to reach students learning at different levels within the same classroom.

Hackenberg will spend the first two years of her research working directly with students.

“These are sessions where I’m working on trying to differentiate instruction for diverse learners in a classroom,” she said in the release. “It’s a small number of students — nine at a time — so I can have roughly three different kinds of thinkers in the classroom, and I get a close-in look at their thinking and interaction.”

After those two years, the data will be collected

and Hackenberg will use it to develop ideas and materials for classrooms.

“The middle year of the project is to engage in deep analysis of the first two years as well as to start a study group with middle school teachers in the state who want to explore differentiated instruction and experiment with it,” she said. “In the last two years of the project, I’ll be co-teaching with teachers in their classrooms, trying out some of these ideas and materials.”

She said she expects the project to shed light on key points of instruction in students’ academic development.

“It’s really hard to think about what that really looks like at the middle

school and high school level in mathematics classroom,” she said.

While math education researchers usually define algebraic reasoning as generalizing ways of thinking with numbers and quantities to develop ideas like equations and functions, students think about number structures and quantities differently, Hackenberg said.

“Students might think about 35 feet as five equal parts, each of which is 7 feet,” she said in the release. “This is three-levelsof-units structure. Some students don’t develop that kind of structure until middle school or possibly even beyond.”

When asked if the restaurant was closing because of poor cash flow, Thackery said the closing

was because of the expired lease.

Thackery owns 420 and ABR Imagery, an imaging service that also provides glass products.

Thackery said he expects 420 to open soon, likely on a Monday.

MARCH AGAINST HUNGER

Senate votes ‘no’ Bill to drug test TANF users passes to tax benefits for same-sex couples

Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller and Hoosier Hills Food Bank Executive Director Julio Alonso speak at a press conference Tuesday. Zoeller visited HHFB to kick off the sixth annual March Against Hunger food drive, which challenges law firms to donate goods and raise money for food banks across Indiana.

BY MICHAEL AUSLEN mauslen@indiana.edu @MichaelAuslen

The Indiana Senate signed off on a controversial bill that would institute random drug testing among certain recipients of social welfare benefits.

House Bill 1351, which passed the Senate 34-14 Tuesday, calls for individuals with prior drug convictions who receive benefits from the federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program to be tested at random.

Those who do not pass drug tests two consecutive times would lose their benefits for three months before being allowed to try again.

“Drugs control their lives once they get addicted,” bill sponsor Sen. Michael Young, R-Indianapolis, said in the final debate Tuesday.

“We are only seeking to try to get people help. Sometimes it is baby steps that lead to dollars down the road that can help these people.”

Opponents of the legislation have argued it would be expensive to implement and could have limited influence on deterring drug abuse.

“The real abuse in families comes from alcohol, from heroin, from meth, and all those things are out of your system within a couple of days,” Sen. Karen Tallian, D-Portage, said. “The only people who you’re going to catch are the people who have marijuana in their system.”

Although the annual costs associated with a TANF drug test program would be minimal — Young said it costs about $110,000 for Monroe County to

implement a much larger drug testing program — the start-up costs could be significant, but they are not known at this time. Young said it could cost about $500,000 to implement, but Tallian said it could cost up to $1 million.

The bill would allow TANF recipients who lose their benefits to appoint trustees to receive benefits for their children.

Because children make up the majority of TANF beneficiaries in Indiana, the number of adult recipients who could be affected by drug screenings is unknown.

“Has anyone ever done a survey to find out how many people have criminal convictions?” Tallian said. “You could send the interns out to look that up, but we don’t know that. We have no idea whether it’s 400 people, 10

people or all 4,000 of them.”

The bill was passed by the House of Representatives earlier in the legislative session, but because amendments were added in the Senate, a conference committee will have to work through differences. Most of those are details surrounding who would be eligible for a random drug test.

But Young said the purpose of the legislation is to encourage drug-addicted welfare recipients to seek help and, more importantly, to ensure their children are cared for and receive the benefits they need.

“Coming from a family of nine kids and two parents and having an addiction problem in our family, I can tell you what it means to kids,” Young said. “I know what it means to kids to have someone addicted in your family.”

MCCSC to promote disability awareness

BY SYDNEY MURRAY slmurray@indiana.edu @sydlm13

The Monroe County Community School Corporation will celebrate Disability Awareness Month with events planned throughout March.

First organized by the Indiana Governor’s Council for People with Disabilities in 1989, there is a different theme each year.

This March’s theme, “Dream to Dare,” aims to challenge people to consider and support disability awareness in their communities, according to the Awareness website.

There are currently six Bloomington events registered on the Awareness website, including a film festival at the IU Cinema.

Janise McCollough, assistant director of special education, said each school in MCCSC organizes its own events to recognize the month.

The Bloomington Council for Community Accessibility, a volunteer group that advocates for people with disabilities, will visit some schools.

Clear Creek Elementary School is organizing a book share. The students will read books about Americans with disabilities, as well as study technology such as bionic arms and how it can help people with disabilities.

LIFEDesigns, Inc., an Indiana group that provides people with disabilities and their families with resources, is organizing an essay contest for older students and a coloring contest for younger students in MCCSC.

Director of Special Education Kathleen Hugo said the schools don’t necessarily celebrate the month, but they make the students more aware of disabilities.

Hugo said there are about 11,000 total students in MCCSC, and 1,700 have identified disabilities. She said there are some students who are medically fragile who might not have been in a school building 20 years ago.

Adults and children with disabilities represent more than 19 percent of the Hoosier population, according to the Awareness website.

Hugo said MCCSC has strengthened its programs for students with autism because more students with autism are enrolled in the schools.

“We have pushed the envelope even more,” Hugo said.

Even though March is devoted to disability awareness, McCollough said MCCSC tries to teach its students about disabilities all year.

Hugo said students with disabilities are just a part of MCCSC’s everyday operations.

It is important for the students to understand disabilities because they may grow up to have children of their own with disabilities, she said.

She said it is important for students to value all students as people with worth and not just as a disability.

“It’s just part of a basic civil right,” Hugo said.

NOW ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS

FROM IDS REPORTS

Although same-sex married couples will this year be treated as married in federal tax filings, they won’t be for state taxes if a provision passed by the Indiana Senate survives.

The Senate voted 41-6 Tuesday to approve new language in a sweeping tax policy bill that would not allow for same-sex couples to file jointly for tax purposes.

This would cause conflict with existing state law banning same-sex marriage, Sen. Brandt Hershman, R-Wheatfield, said.

“There was a substantial change in social policy as a result of federal government action last year with respect to joint filing of same-sex couples,” he said.

“This has no impact on federal tax policy. It has no impact on state tax policy insofar as we are continuing status quo.”

Hershman said bills such as this are common, although they usually

deal only with administrative changes and don’t conflict with state laws.

State Sen. Mark Stoops, D-Bloomington, was among the six senators who opposed the bill.

It passed with support from Republicans as well as Democrats.

Because the provision about how same-sex couples file taxes was added by the Senate after the House of Representatives voted, it could be kept or eliminated in conference committee.

Earlier this session, the General Assembly approved House Joint Resolution 3, a constitutional amendment reaffirming the existing same-sex marriage ban.

The language was watered down from what was passed by the 2011 legislature, so it must go through one more legislative session before being presented to voters.

99 PROBLEMS

The new sincerity of Lupita Nyong’o

On the road to the Student Activities Tower

Pick up your kid, pick up your gun SAM OSTROWSKI is a senior majoring in English.

RILEY ZIPPER is a sophomore majoring in English.

More than a month ago I wrote a mediocre and overly sarcastic column criticizing the unashamed self-congratulatory nature of the Academy Awards.

They’re still unashamedly self-congratulatory and narcissistic, but this year I noticed a couple of acceptance speeches that renewed my hope in true sincerity and humility.

Jared Leto, Cate Blanchett and even “all right, all right, all right” Matthew McConaughey gave moving speeches.

Leto paid touching tribute to his mother. Blanchett implored Hollywood to make more films with female protagonists, McConaughey cited God and (of course) himself in 10 years as his heroes.

But the best speech of the night was obviously that of “12 Years a Slave” star Lupita Nyong’o. The grace and sincerity of the firsttime nominee and practically first-time actress was unparalleled by any speech I’ve seen in recent years.

Nyong’o looked positively radiant in her babyblue gown, and she literally beamed as she said probably the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard on an Oscar stage: “It doesn’t escape me for one moment that so much joy in my life is thanks to so much pain in someone else’s.”

This of course was alluding to the fact that this film and her role wouldn’t have even existed if not for the actual reality of slavery.

I’ve never heard this much humility and selflessness on a stage at any awards show. She didn’t fail to recognize the true heroes of the story in “12 Years a Slave”: the slaves themselves.

Not one sign of narcissism or ego was on that stage with her. And I know all the winners make a big effort to look like they’re humble and thankful and un-pretentious, but for Nyong’o this graciousness came just as naturally as her elegance.

But the most touching moment came after the speech during a quick shot backstage right before commercial. Nyong’o was cradling her statuette like an infant, and it was evident that she had been crying.

She smiled at the statue then looked up and noticed that she was being filmed and gave a huge “look at me mom!” grin to the camera and looked like she was tearing up again.

Something about this simple moment of unapologetic elation was so moving to me. Maybe I do have a heart. Damnit.

The public is sick of egomaniacal celebrities whose every word is rife with narcissism and insincerity.

That stuff isn’t funny or cute anymore. It’s just fodder for eye rolls and hateful tweets.

And everybody knows that whatever’s said on the Internet is law. And, of course, whatever I say in my columns overrides that law.

Celebrities need to take a hint from Nyong’o that sincerity and humility will always beat out sarcasm and ego. Hell, everybody needs to take that hint.

But one thing’s for sure.

I’m definitely taking out the penis jokes from my Oscar acceptance speech. zipperr@indiana.edu @rileyezipper

ILLUSTRATION BY CONNOR RILEY| IDS

WE SAY: Brace yourselves, IUSA election season is upon us Another season of IU Student Association elections is upon us.

Last year, following an uncontested election that brought us a year of lackluster student government, we had a gripping, contested race between three tickets that somehow still brought us a year of lackluster student government.

To recap — the executive student government you’re paying for exists to represent you before the administration. Yet it left many of the seats it was supposed to fill on administrative committees vacant, effectively muting student input.

Your executive student government campaigned against an expansion of the

Indiana Lifeline Law, only to jump on the bandwagon when the expansion was already quickly becoming reality.

Your executive student government spends its time purchasing Google Glass, while many of us can barely even afford the price of textbooks for class.

Your executive student government pays itself student money for what it sees as the privilege to add a line to individual résumés.

As the new season of IUSA elections opens, we encourage you to form a ticket, develop a campaign and offer to represent your fellow students.

Or at the very least, just pay attention.

The past three IUSA administrations were formed largely from the members of their predecessors, meaning the inevitable ticket formed out of Jose Mitjavila’s staff will be a frontrunner from day one.

Our student government, for too long, has behaved more like high school student council planning prom than a body meant to press the administration on student issues.

Jared Thomas, the president of this year’s Election Commission previously told the IDS that the rollover of IUSA staff has its positives and negatives. The Editorial Board firmly agrees.

In particular, the rollover of IUSA staff has insulated

the organization from the concerns of the average IU student.

When all the voices in the room are saying the same thing, it’s no wonder our student government has become so out of touch. We need new voices, new ideas and new leaders.

This year IU should form a serious ticket that can realistically challenge the establishment. But if the establishment itself can come up with better ideas than those of the last two years, the Editorial Board is willing to listen.

Because at the end of the day, we’re all in the same boat. We simply have different ideas of how to steer it. opinion@idsnews.com

REED ME

A-dick-ted to football I’ve never seen so many ostensibly straight men obsess about another man’s penis.

Michael Sam is making serious headlines. Last week the man who will likely become the first openly gay player in the NFL made waves when some people looked at photos of him at the NFL combine and decided he had an erection.

According to one headline, “Well He Was Working Out At The COMBINE With Other MEN.” This, apparently, served to explain it all.

It makes complete sense — how could any gay man possibly keep it down surrounded by the collective burning hunk of man flesh that is an NFL locker room?

Spare me.

As if that wasn’t bad enough, two days later Sam’s penis once again became

the topic of conversation when pictures of flaccid junk were attributed to his particular trunk.

Images of a muscular man taking a picture of his dick with an iPad were “leaked” to various gossip sites along with the assertion that they had been posted by an account with a picture of Sam’s face.

Before long, speculation was rampant.

News organizations from every level of relevance and credibility were weighing in on whether or not this particular penis belonged to this particular gay almostNFL player.

They weren’t, for the most part, concerned with the skill the man does or does not bring to the table.

That was swept aside by the present turgidity of his schlong, a concrete point on which the

abstract squeamishness surrounding Sam’s open homosexuality could focus.

Because there’s a GAY working out at the COMBINE with other MEN. That’s obviously an issue, right?

This isn’t a new problem — in fact, it’s safe to say it’s a tired one.

For decades we’ve been realizing that it’s possible to find competence in people of all races, sexes, creeds and, yes, even sexual orientations.

Sam’s existence, his simultaneous capacity to be a high-quality football player and a homosexual man, isn’t a paradox — it’s a statistical inevitability.

Most experts agree 10 percent is a reasonable assumption for the proportion of gay men in the United States.

In an organization of more than 1,500 players, we

DRAKE REED is a senior majoring in economics.

might expect 150 of them to be gay men.

Even if players in the NFL were 1/100 as likely to be gay as the rest of the population — which seems extremely unlikely — at least one or two of them are still in the closet.

It isn’t necessary to be straight to be a good football player, and we don’t pop boners at every glimpse of men in spandex — especially not when that man is trying to knock you down.

Stop obsessing over what’s in Sam’s pants and start paying attention to what he does on the field. drlreed@indiana.edu

This week in asinine news, the Indiana House passed a controversial bill allowing people to carry guns onto school grounds as long as they are locked and out of sight in parked cars.

The National Rifle Association and the other proponents of the bill rejoiced.

They claim this is a step in the right direction.

They believe all those parents might inadvertently have guns in their cars as they go to pick up their kids from school deserve these protections.

First of all, you should never inadvertently have a gun with you.

If you are carrying a firearm on your body, or even in your car, it should always be on your mind.

A gun is a deadly weapon.

We can’t afford flippancy when guns are involved.

Second, I have to admit I side with Rep. Vernon Smith, D-14th District, who claimed, “When people are emotional, that’s when they do their worst job of critical thinking. They don’t think. They just act.”

I don’t know about you, but trying to pick a kid up from school is up there with public speaking on the list of recipes for instant anxiety.

There’s intense traffic, you’re tired from the day you’ve had, children are running all around the cars and you just want to get home to dinner.

So let’s approve adding a gun to that mix.

I say all of this only slightly tongue-in-cheek.

Road rage and gun violence, unfortunately, can go hand in hand.

In September 2013, Matthew Webster shot Anna Alger six times and killed her after Alger confronted Webster for running a red light and nearly hitting her car.

The incident left many people talking about the effects of guns and road rage.

It’s an extreme case, yes. But there’s no reason why we should trust human emotion and temper when there are documented cases like that to prove our fallibility.

Rep. Jim Lucas, R-69th District, thinks the current state of the law is out of hand.

The law, as it exists right now, makes it a Class D felony to leave a gun unattended in a school parking lot.

And I think this is fair.

The risk is just too high, and there are far too many scenarios where things can go wrong.

Even if it’s not the parent, no one can absolutely say that the student being picked up from school won’t accidentally find the gun while a parent is talking to a teacher?

There are far too many what ifs Indiana has failed to recognize because we’re too blinded by the flash of silver.

It would be surprising to see the bill actually signed into law, but it’s disheartening it passed the House in the first place.

Give up your guns for 30 minutes, Indiana. sjostrow@indiana.edu

BANK ON IT

Imaginary racism at the Oscars Hollywood took over the world Sunday night as the 86th Academy Awards hit the airwaves.

By now even the sad people who didn’t watch the awards know that “12 Years a Slave” went home with the award.

This was a big deal because Steve McQueen, director of “12 Years a Slave” became the first black director of a Best Picture.

But there’s always one person who tries to ruin the mood. That one person was a dude in my telecommunications class who just had to point out that Brad Pitt’s name was called out before McQueen’s when they were walking toward the stage to receive their award.

Is that fact relevant? No. But did this spark a fiveminute debate of racism in filmmaking? Yes. Pitt’s name was said before McQueen’s. But it was not intended to degrade or disrespect McQueen racially or in any other way.

It was because of the cinematic hierarchy.

Pitt is one of the producers of “12 Years a Slave.” And in the movie food chain, producers trump directors.

In the four phases of producing a motion picture, a producer is someone who makes most of the decisions — development, preproduction, production and post-production.

They run things.

The Best Picture award goes to the best film of the year. It compiles all the categories of filmmaking previously awarded in the ceremony, such as acting, directing, writing and cinematography.

And who chooses the main cast, director, writer and cinematographer? The producer.

McQueen is also listed as a producer, but it wasn’t his production company fueling the film. It was Pitt’s, along with a few others.

LEXIA BANKS is a sophomore majoring in telecomm.

Pitt had more stake in the film. That’s why his name was called first. It had nothing to do with racism.

What still irritates me is that the guy in my class brought this up for no reason in front of 150 people when we were supposed to be talking about the virtual cinematography of “Gravity.” On a night when history was made, he just had to find a way to darken it.

I’ve said before that I think our society has an obsession with spotting racism, even in places where it doesn’t exist.

The majority of us have accepted that racism is bad, but know that it still exists somewhere. And when we don’t see it outright, we imagine it.

Ellen DeGeneres, host of the Oscars, ended her opening monologue with a joke related to this. “Possibility number one, ‘12 Years a Slave’ wins Best Picture.

Possibility number two, you’re all racists.”

I loved this joke, because it was something I and some of my friends had joked about, too.

It exploits the stupid idea that if we don’t rain praise on African-Americans and their work, we are just as racist as the people in the 1950s.

In reality, it is those sort of implications that degrade and disrespect people and their work. Pity and guilt votes don’t do anyone any favors.

It takes hard work and talent to tell a good story, and that’s what the cast and producers of “12 Years a Slave” did. lnbanks@indiana.edu @LexiaBanks

GUEST COLUMN

Burn the brand I hate the term “brand yourself.”

From the clothes you wear to your social media participation, the idea is that you should make a personal brand out of your identity to maximize your appeal to employers and to people around you. It’s rebirth for the digital age.

It sounds like marketing specialists trying to explain why they should be paid for results they can’t quantify.

I get it. You want employers to judge you from something other than Halloween 2012. That’s not who you really are. But guess what? Having a profile picture that’s you in a suit and a quote from T.S. Eliot is just as much of a lie.

We should not have to frame our interactions in the terms of a contract, providing everyone we meet with an experience.

We’re allowed to do something because we enjoy it or think it’s right. We don’t have to do it because we want some corporate version of ourselves to see rising dividends on our life success stock.

Social media is making it harder and harder to hide how stupid people can be.

And yes, you shouldn’t post passive-aggressive relationship soliloquies or the photos of you doing body shots in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, but those moments don’t define you as a

STEPHEN KROLL is a junior majoring in journalism.

person.

Nothing defines you but the actions you take from this point on. Not the clothes you wear, not the things you retweet, but what you do.

The truth is, growing up is messy. We have emotions that rip us from euphoria to despair, and in a year we’re ashamed we ever felt that way about something so trivial.

We do stupid things to impress the weirdest people. We shouldn’t expect anyone to judge us for that, and we shouldn’t be ashamed of what shaped us, but we should use those experiences to grow as much as possible.

I don’t like the idea of branding because the focus is wrong. I think if you want to be seen as a better person, you have to earn it by doing better things.

If you want to be taken seriously by employers, do something extraordinary.

Don’t craft something that isn’t representative of you as a full, flawed person.Learn from your mistakes, grow and let your actions speak for themselves.

Stop trying to make the best image of yourself, and make the best version of yourself.

I was raped and it’s not my fault Editor’s Note: This letter contains detailed descriptions of rape. The author’s name was omitted and the names of those mentioned were changed to protect the author’s identity.

On September 25, 2013, I went out with a friend of mine, who I’ll call Kay. I hadn’t seen her in a bit, so we decided to skip a couple classes and get some drinks downtown.

We were at the Bluebird Nightclub when I met him.

I’ll call him Will.

He seemed nice and funny, the kind of guy you remember cracking jokes in your high school classes.

He was tall and powerful looking.

He was friends with Kay, so he hung out with us for the rest of the night.

We hit it off. As time went on, we seemed to be more and more compatible.

We ended up closing Dunnkirk, and Kay, being the wonderful woman she is, offered to drive us home in the morning.

Will and I both agreed, considering we were all too drunk to drive. We thought about walking, but that wasn’t appealing either, considering we both lived on the east side of town.

We all walked to my friend’s downtown, onebedroom apartment. As soon as we got there, my friend went to bed. That left Will and I to fend for ourselves in her living room.

We decided to push the

two love seats together to make a bed. As soon as the lights went out and we laid down, he turned to me and said, “Do you like to cuddle?”

“This is it,” I thought.

“We’re going to sleep and cuddle, and it’s going to be great.”

Because I liked him, I responded, “Sure,” and I smiled at him. I expected him to wrap his arms around me, but instead he grabbed and pulled my hair, forced his mouth on mine, cracking my lip and shoved his hand down my leggings.

He started kissing me, and I laid there frozen. I couldn’t move. He was so big. His hand was scratching me. I could feel him drawing blood.

His other hand was pulling my hair so hard I was starting to get a headache and tears bubbled in my eyes. In that moment all I could think was, “Make him go to sleep. Don’t wake up Kay. She’ll kill him.”

So, out of fear, I began kissing him back. He growled into my mouth.

Then he bit my lip, drawing more blood. “Take your clothes off,” he growled into my ear. I fearfully obliged, trying to make it look like I wasn’t shaking, like I was enjoying myself.

I was naked and vulnerable. He grabbed my throat and squeezed. He looked me in the eye and said, “Beg for it.” I could barely breathe.

“Please,” was all I could say. One syllable, one word, so much effort.

He pulled me over on top of him. I was shaking from fear, which he mistook for pleasure. He yanked me down by my breasts, leaving two handprint-shaped bruises.

He pushed me back on top and said, “Fuck my dick like a slut, you bitch.” I started crying. He pushed himself inside of me and kept calling me names and telling me that I didn’t deserve a lover as good as him.

That’s when I thought, “Maybe if I get him off, he’ll fall asleep, and it’ll all be over.”

So I climbed off of him and began giving him oral.

He pushed my head down on him, putting himself in the back of my throat, making it impossible to breathe.

He started saying, “Suck it, you fat bitch. Beg for more. I know you’re hungry, slut.” When I started gagging, he came. He looked at me and smirked.

I got up and went to the kitchen. Looking for anything to clean myself off with, I finally found some Clorox wipes under her sink. I wiped myself down.

I wiped down the couches, and I put my clothes back on.

He put his clothes back on and went to sit at her kitchen table where he fell asleep. I started putting her living room back together.

Once I’d finished that, it was time for us all to get up

anyway because Will and I had early classes.

When Kay pulled up to my house to drop me off, he looked at it and said, “Hey, I walk by this house every day.” I froze.

“Really?” I said.

“Yeah,” he said. “I’ll have to come by and visit some time.”

Then he smirked at me again. Kay, who thought we’d just had an innocent hook-up, winked at me. I thanked her for the ride and told her I would call her later in the day.

As soon as I made it inside my house, I picked up my cat and started sobbing into her fur.

I hopped into the shower with the heat cranked as high as it possibly would go. I didn’t care that it was burning my skin. I wanted it to burn off the night before. I wanted to sanitize my whole body.

It was a few days before I fully realized what had happened to me.

And now, a couple months later, I’m ready for my story to be out there. I want people to know. I will remain nameless because I am not alone.

I am your neighbor. I am your classmate. I am your friend. I am your sister. I am your student. I am your teacher. I am the woman in the gym. I am everywhere.

I am a rape victim. And it is not my fault.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Bloomington: A home for all of us April 1. This date might not mean much to IU students, but to more than 60 Bloomington residents, this is the first day they will not have a place to sleep at night.

The Interfaith Winter Shelter will close its doors April 1, leaving Bloomington without an emergency lowbarrier shelter.

The Ubuntu Working Group is a collaboration of social workers, community members and individuals

experiencing homelessness who are working to create a low-barrier shelter that will fill the needs created when the Interfaith Winter Shelter closes.

A low-barrier shelter accepts anyone in need of a place to stay regardless of addiction issues, criminal history, etc.

Ubuntu would be the only shelter of its kind in Bloomington.

These efforts have

been met with incredible resistance from the mayor, city council, business people and other various community members.

My question is simple.

When did helping people put a roof over their head for a night become a political issue?

Having a safe and dry place to sleep should not be a luxury, but a human right in Bloomington.

This is not an issue

students can afford to be apathetic about any longer.

We are a part of this community, and we cannot stay silent while our neighbors without homes are being ignored and denied necessary services.

Bloomington should be a home for everyone, not just a home for those with money and houses.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Literacy in a globalized society I was never a foodie sage, but I enjoy meeting up friends for meals. Much like most people, I went from restaurant to restaurant oblivious to my surroundings.

Not until I moved away from home did I begin to question my relationship to food and the larger system.

Tasty mee hoon goreng, fragrant nasi lemak served with banana leaves and sizzling hot satay have indeed bade me farewell since I came to United States. I guess that explains why I need to flip through the menu several times whenever I enter into a

restaurant in Bloomington.

On several instances, I just did not know what to order. Would you believe me if I say I’m illiterate when it comes to cuisines? I wonder whether my experiences resonate with yours.

Even if they don’t, I’d like you to ponder whether you are able to relate what you see in restaurants to your personal self or others. What would you make out of those delicate portraits or symbols that went unnoticed most of the time?

I always presumed only culturally-bounded people

would have the answer to that. But my experience interviewing Mike, an American who owns a Thai restaurant, changed my perception.

This white-skinned man was not only conscientiously narrating stories of a culture that wasn’t natively his, but also revering the reticent elephant by the door of his restaurant. It is a symbol of prosperity to the Thais.

To be honest with you, I only know Thailand for its spicy tom yum. However, my personal engagement with Mike tells me literacy doesn’t only pertain to academic-

related matters. It encompasses ways of behaving that are rooted in life experiences.

Putting it into perspective, I would urge you to embrace changes even if it is as simple as food tasting. Most importantly, engage in convivial conversations to gain insights in your dealings.

After all, that’s part of literacy. You wouldn’t want to be ‘chastised’ in a globalized society, or for not being able to assimilate in particular ways.

“I think the University has frankly failed to explain this from the get go,” he said.

He earned a smattering of applause when he emphasized that IU wasn’t a vocational college, but a liberal arts college.

“We have to be absolutely firm in being able to explain and to justify and to extol the importance of a Liberal Arts education degree,” Robel said. “We have to, because it’s true.”

She said, in the last year, the campus has put money into the technological infrastructure of advising that will help students and advisers make the most use of their time.

Robel said there haven’t been broad changes on the academic side yet.

A staff member in the School of Public Health asked how staff could stay involved with the plan past the public comment period.

“As we move into the next several weeks, and I hear more from staff and faculty members of all kinds, there will be some changes,” Robel said. “And those implementation steps will be very transparent and we will absolutely need you.”

“I think if we knew where we were, and we knew where we wanted to be, we would have a compelling set of programs to put in front of potential donors,” Robel said.

“I think we can get a long way by figuring out where we want to go, and which of those ideas are really compelling for external support.”

Master’s student Niki Messmore asked Robel how student support services fit into the undergraduate life section of the Strategic Plan.

“That is a place where the campus has been reallocating towards additional staff,” Robel said.

She said a new assistant dean for gender affairs has been hired to focus on that area.

Although Messmore said she probably has follow-up questions on supporting social needs of underrepresented minorities, Messmore said she left the meeting satisfied.

When Seymour was arrested his vehicle was searched and a black digital scale from the apartment was found in the center console, according to court documents.

Bloomington police arrested the 16-year-old on Feb. 25 after his mother reported to police that her runaway son had returned home.

All three face preliminary charges of armed robbery, Crider said.

departures from Brahms’ dynamic indications. I cannot say that I am in total agreement with Mr. Gould’s conception.”

Sam Emanuel, Maestro David Effron’s assistant conductor, said Bernstein and Gould’s performance represents the “give and take” nature of the concerto.

“It’s a real collaboration,” he said. “I don’t think either person can really be the boss.

The performance needs to be a unified whole. I’m a big fan, personally, of everything that Gould does.”

The Brahms D Minor Concerto runs close to 50 minutes and features a balance between orchestra sections and piano solos.

It is not considered the

standard concerto piece.

“The defining feature is that it’s symphonic in scope,” said Emanuel. “A lot of contemporary concerti are more soloistic—the orchestra is accompanying the pianist. This is much more the piano and the orchestra being equals.”

Equality among and within the orchestra is a feature that will be represented in the composition by Witold Lutosławski.

One of the major composers of the 20th century, Lutosławski wrote his heavily stylized Concerto for Orchestra in 1954.

Emanuel views the concerto as representing the harsh postwar environment of the composer’s native Poland.

“It’s a very dramatic piece — quite violent,” he said. “There are numerous passages that are marked to be played aggressively. It’s bleak.”

Despite early success with the Concerto, Lutosławski attempted to distance himself from the composition in later years, turning his attention to more “aleatoric” or improvisatory pieces — a hallmark of later 20th-century composers like John Cage.

Featuring a score both grand and bleak, Emanuel said he hopes for a strong reaction from listeners.

“The Lutosławski has an overpowering feeling,” he said. “I think the audiences will just be struck by the drama of both pieces.”

Joel Washington adds the finishing touches to his Dizzy Gillespie painting. An artist and a custodian at the Indiana Memorial Union, Washington balances his full-time job with his love of painting.

FULL TIME aspirations

BY AARICKA WASHINGTON | aadwash@indiana.edu

Even when Joel Washington is working his day job, the art never leaves his mind

I

n the middle of his shift, as he pushes a trash can down a crowded hallway in the Indiana Memorial Union, the artist stops in front of a painting on the wall. The electric colors beg to explode outside the frame.

“I wish I could’ve added a little more gray here,” Joel Washington says, his hand hovering above the canvas.

The acrylic painting shows jazz legend Wes Montgomery thumb-strumming his hollow back electric guitar.

Washington painted it 15 years ago. He often paints portraits of famous musicians such as Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa, the Beatles and Billie Holiday.

“When I look at this,” he says, examining his Montgomery portrait, “I see ways I could add more color to it. But it’s already paid for, and there’s nothing I can do about it now.”

Students hurry past, but they don’t notice Washington in his uniform. He doesn’t blame them. After all, he has other things to do as well. His job requires him to always keep it moving.

He has bathrooms to clean, floors to mop, glass windows to spray.

“It’s like I got my own reality show with all these cameras around me,” Washington says. “There’s security everywhere. I got to get back to work.”

He takes one last glance at his painting, then turns around and pushes the trash can toward another hallway. * * * Washington lives in two worlds.

One where his art of musicians, artists, clowns, movie stars and IU faculty fill the city he’s called home for years, and one where he works to pay SEE WASHINGTON, PAGE 8

From “Casablanca” to the Beatles, pop culture influences Washington’s paintings. His 10-piece Frank Zappa series is displayed in Laughing Planet Cafe, and his work has been exhibited from Bloomington to Bankok. Washington’s paintings of famous musicians such as Wes Montgomery, pictured above left, currently hang in the IMU. He hopes to someday quit his job at the Union and paint full time.

the bills. Somewhere in between those two jobs lies the dream to make art a full time job, showcasing his psychedelic acrylic paintings to the world.

Like many artists, he is waiting for his big break — the moment when his art earns him a living. The moment when he can finally break away. At 54 years old, he believes it’ll come along, someday.

“I’m going to continue networking and wait for someone to be interested, but in the meantime, I’m going to keep doing what I’m doing,” Washington says.

So, once again — just like every weekday — Washington rises at 3:45 a.m. After he gets ready, he locks his apartment door and carefully treads down a flight of stairs. He drags himself into the pitch dark, serene morning for the 25-minute hike to the IMU. As soon as Washington clocks in at 5 a.m., he begins to prepare the IMU for the day’s inhabitants.

He becomes the shy greeter, the sweeper, the cleaner and the observer once he’s on the clock, but the art never leaves his mind.

Washington checks his assignments for the day, then pulls a bright yellow Kaivac cleaning machine into an elevator and heads upstairs to fill it with water from the supply closet.

He opens the gate to the billiards area, disappearing into a dark abyss. As soon as he turns on the lights, the room brightens and Washington appears in full color.

A supervisor walks past to make sure he is on task.

“You got to do what you got to do to earn that dollar,” Washington says.

Washington puts a neon yellow ”Closed for Cleaning” sign on the door of the men’s restroom.

He is alone in his territory. He has to make sure everything in his designated hallway — the computer lab, the billiards and the ATM area — are ready for students.

However, things are different when he’s at home.

When he’s home, he’s usually painting. And when he’s painting, he’s usually alone. And when he’s alone, it’s always quiet. * * * Washington put in a DVD and plopped down on his couch.

In sepia color, the words “Wizard of Oz” appeared on the television screen.

He grabbed a tube of Cadmium yellow paint — one of 14 paint tubes on the table — and squeezed out the last tiny blob onto his palette, a white paper plate.

Washington was adding the finishing touches to a painting of jazz musician Dizzy Gillespie blowing his trumpet, layering more color and depth onto the late trumpet player’s face and body.

The whole piece only took him a few days. He painted commission pieces for other people the past few weeks. Dizzy was for himself.

Painting is his therapy.

It’s how he meditates and reflects.

He whirled a black paintbrush in murky green water, tapped it on the side of the cup, and dabbed the tip of the brush into the bright yellow paint.

He shaded in the root of Dizzy’s long, narrow nose.

He squinted, leaning his head forward or to the side as he thought of what to tackle next.

“When I was growing up I used to look at movies, fantasies,” Washington said.

“It kept me away from the everyday stuff.”

Washington grew up in Haughville, Ind., a low-income neighborhood 10 miles outside of Indianapolis.

His first dream was to be a Disney animator. As a child, he watched George Dunning’s Yellow Submarine, an animated movie based on music from the Beatles.

He started drawing sketches, cartoons. His apartment houses numerous production sales, most notably from the Fat Albert cartoons.

By the time he was a teenage, he knew he wanted to be a full-time painter.

“I use to draw all over the walls as a kid back then,” Washington said.

His older sister Marsha remembers how imaginative he was.

“He would draw caricatures of people, but if it was on my end of the stick, I didn’t think it was funny at all,” she chuckled.

Washington moved to Bloomington when he was 15, graduated from Harmony School and spent a year at Ivy Tech. For years, he has designed and sold skateboard decals locally.

He loves human expression, whether it’s classic movies like “Casablanca,” music by Billie Holiday or pop art by Andy Warhol and Peter Max. Pop culture still influences Washington’s work.

His 10-piece Frank Zappa series hangs in Laughing Planet Cafe. He has James Dean in the Village Deli, and Sam Lightnin’ Hopkins in the African American Arts Institute.

The Indiana State Museum purchased his Jazz Man piece in 2007. The piece was featured along with three of his other art works in the U.S. Embassy in Bangkok, Thailand, for three years.

In 2010, he had a 50th birthday arts show in the City Hall Atrium. That same year, he put his Michael Jackson commemorative portrait in the hands of famed producer Quincy Jones. In 2012, he presented his David Baker to the jazz composer and IU music professor.

From January 21 to October 14, 2012, the Indiana State Museum featured 24 African American contemporary artists from Indiana in an exhibit titled Represent.

One of the paintings featured was a 6-foot scene of the “Godfather of Soul” James Brown getting helped up by one of his background performers after falling to his knees during one of his famous cape routines.

Kisha Tandy, the assistant curator for History and Culture at the museum, organized the exhibit.

Seeing Washington’s art come alive, so large and bold, is what makes people connect to his work, Tandy

said.

“When I saw it, I got it,” Tandy said. “Even though I never saw him live, I saw him perform on television. Joel captured the essence of James Brown in the painting. He tells the story of music history through his artwork.”

Back at home, Washington sets his painting aside and thinks about the Tin Man, the character he most closely resembles in the “Wizard of Oz.” “He was searching for a heart, and he already had one,” Washington said. “I always try to be compassionate. There are things I search for that I already had.

What’s important for me is to be humble. I don’t have an ego, I just want to be as kind to people as I can.”

Washington paused.

“You can’t be ashamed of what God gave you,” he said. * * * In his father’s house in Indianapolis, there are old school report cards.

“At the top of all of them, it says ‘Joel is a great artist, but we wish he would focus on his other school work,’” Washington said.

Washington was born in February 1960 in Indianapolis. He grew up in Haughville with an older sister, a younger sister and a younger brother.

Marsha Washington, his older sister by a year, said she still believes Joel will make it as a full-time artist.

“I have great faith in God that a perfect window or opportunity will open with his work,” she said.

Washington says he faintly remembers his mother and father divorcing at a young age. He recalls his mother and his siblings moving up to Bloomington while he lived with his father in Indianapolis.

When he was 15, he moved to Bloomington to live with his mother. He would call Bloomington home for the next 39 years.

As a young man in Bloomington, he joined a b-boy group and started his “Lab Ratical” cartoon skateboard designs around the skate parks in Bloomington.

Washington pulled out photos of himself as a teenager in the 1970s and 1980s.

His pictures show a young, black man in ‘80s fitted, hip garb breakdancing and skating with his friends.

In one of them, he’s breakdancing in T.I.S. Bookstore, where he used to work.

He was a member of a multicultural skateboarding group and was featured in a national skateboard magazine.

In one particular picture, he’s skateboarding near a basketball court, which used to be near the Bloomington Hospital.

Washington says he has about 300 skateboards in his possession.

He designs a skateboard line and sells them to skateboard shops in Bloomington like Rhett Skateboarding.

Some of his skateboards have turned into works of art. Some are vintage. Some he rides.

Washington has been riding since he arrived in Bloomington. He started working at the Union in the ‘80s, first as a food ser-

vice worker and then as a custodian.

He’s been there for almost 30 years. He’s always ready to move on, to do more and do better art shows.

He said his mom got him started on his first, and what he considers his best, art show.

“What I miss about her is that she was always encouraging me with my art,” Washington said. “She always pushed us to go for whatever we believed in.

She was the one who told me that I would be where I am now.”

Washington still struggles with balancing his two worlds. Pygmalion’s Art Supply Sales Clerk Ben Dines said the goal for any artist is to work on the craft full time.

Dines, who also teaches private lessons, said Washington gets his canvas and paints from the store.

He was amazed to know that Washington was selftaught.

“That is really impressive,” Dines said. “I believe that Joel has something good going for him because it’s difficult to sell paintings.”

Washington said he plans to show his work in bigger cities.

“I mean, I enjoy doing stuff in Bloomington, but I want everybody to see my work, and I can’t do that if I’m not making that move,” Washington said. “I won’t rest until I’ve made that jump into showing people my work, whether it’s in Indianapolis, Cleveland, Chicago, New York, L.A.” He still wants to be able to put on a new, bigger art show. But with a heap of commissions to do, he has trouble finding the time.

“It’ll be the first show I’ve done in four years,” Washington said.

Aspirations aside, Washington doesn’t mind his job as a custodian.

Roy Robertson, the custodial director at the IMU, said Washington knows a lot of people around campus.

“For Joel, as busy as he is, all that he has to cover, I think he does a good job at trying to balance the social interaction he gets here

with getting his job done and staying focused on what his tasks are,” Robertson said.

“There’s so much going on for that young man. It is a full tough job for him to do.

I wouldn’t want to be as talented as that in such a public venue.”

Washington said he’s not afraid of losing time. Every year is a blessing, especially at 54.

“Don’t remind me,” Washington said, “The more you worry about it, the older you get.”

On his 54th birthday in February, Washington walked with a visitor around the IMU to look at his favorite pieces of art.

He tended to be drawn to bright, colorful pieces like his own.

“Sometimes I wonder what the artist was thinking, but for the most part I just admire them for what they

are.” * * * At 1:30 p.m., Washington walks downstairs to the employee center and clocked out.

After work, he wants to take a nap. He’s been feeling tired.

He hasn’t been getting enough sleep, and he doesn’t know why he’s waking up an hour before his alarm goes off at 3:45 a.m.

He’s celebrating his birthday with his older sister Marsha at her house.

She’s fixing him chicken and dumplings.

For the first times in a while, Washington doesn’t have anything else planned but to rest.

March BFA Group Show displayed at Grunwald Gallery

BY ALISON GRAHAM akgraham@indiana.edu

Bachelor of Fine Arts students worked diligently in the studio, melting glass onto metal pieces, upholstering furniture and developing entirely new personas to act and perform.

The Grunwald Gallery of Art opens its March BFA Group Show today and organized a reception 6 to 8 p.m.

Friday. The exhibit will remain open until March 13.

The gallery will display art in a wide range of media, including painting, sculpture, digital art, textiles, video, metalsmithing, photography, printmaking and ceramics.

Metalsmithing and jewelry design major Alexandra Lawless is displaying six different brooches in the exhibit.

Three are enamel pieces and the others are mixed media, which incorporate food pack-

aging, envelope backings, tights, screen prints and animal bones.

Lawless spent weeks creating each brooch, especially the enamel brooches, which she said can be quite finicky.

“I had a few problems with cracking,” she said. “There’s times when you’ve melted glass onto your piece and something goes wrong, so you just have to break it all off or try to fix the bad patches.”

Printmaking major Jessica Grannan also faced challenges with her materials for the show.

Grannan created an installation of furniture that all have the same pattern made from silk screens.

Printing on such a wide variety of surfaces — including cloth, glass, paper and wood — made it difficult to attach the exact same pattern to each object. , she said Despite her challenges,

Grannan said she successfully completed her installation, which shows an extensive use of color, pattern and imagery.

“It’s meant to describe your daily interactions with patterns,” she said. “It enhances the idea that everyday life is chaos, but there is comfort in that chaos.”

The idea and concept of chaos took about six months to develop, and Grannan then put in several hundred hours of labor drawing the designs, building the furniture and putting the designs on silkscreen.

All of her labor will be displayed in an 8- by 8-foot square installation in the gallery.

“I think it’s a good time for the artist to stand back and see how people receive their work and what changes you want to make to your work based on their reactions,” she said. “Are people

understanding the message you are trying to get across?”

Digital art major Cassie Harner will answer this question through a performance art piece.

She will perform in the gallery as a young woman of her creation named Kay-T Critiques, critiquing the work in the show with other guests.

Harner developed the character this past summer when she was on vacation in South Korea.

“I had a week where I stayed inside the apartment, and didn’t leave,” Harner said.

“That’s when she emerged, I suppose.”

Harner used Kay-T as a way to reach out and engage on the Internet by posting videos of herself on YouTube.

When she came back to the United States, she realized it wasn’t something she should keep to herself, which meant she needed to be

confident talking about it, she said.

“I have been using her as a way to gain confidence,” Harner said. “There’s some things where I’m like, ‘I would never do that, but Kay-T would do that.’ This is going to allow me to do more things.”

Kay-T is a way for Harner to poke fun at the way people talk about their art, often in a narcissistic way. Kay-T embodies that confidence, Harner said.

The character’s personality is based on students in Harner’s classes and famous and established artists such as Lady Gaga and Andy Warhol.

Harner said she looks forward to being in character for nearly four hours a day for an entire week during the show.

“While YouTube is a big part of Kay-T’s concept, I think the true potential comes from interacting with people,” Harner said. “It will be a

growing experience for me as a performer as well, being able to react in character in real time.”

Besides seeing Harner perform as Kay-T, there are many other media and pieces to see in the exhibit.

“I think it’s a really interesting opportunity to get to see students’ work that are going to school, that are in this advanced program and are dedicating copious amounts of time to this thing that they’re doing,” Lawless said.

“It’s interesting to see what ideas they have.”

Broadening viewers’ horizons is a major goal of many of the artists in the show.

“Kay-T’s success is heavily based on being memorable,” Harner said. “Hopefully, through Kay-T, people will find something to think about that they’ve never thought of before. But at the very least, they will remember her.”

Roberto Luongo to return to the Panthers With the NHL trade deadline looming, former Vancouver Canucks goalie Roberto Luongo was traded back to the Florida Panthers yesterday.

The three-time All-Star spent five seasons earlier in his career with the Panthers.

He leaves Vancouver after eight years.

Luongo, 34, is 19-16-6 with a 2.38 goals against average in 42 games with the Canucks this season.

Hoosiers to play Nebraska on IU senior night

BY ANDY WITTRY awittry@indiana.edu @AndyWittry

Seniors Will Sheehey, Evan Gordon, Jeff Howard and Taylor Wayer will suit up in cream and crimson at Assembly Hall for their final regular season home game Wednesday.

The Hoosiers will play Nebraska at 7 p.m. in a mustwin game for both teams in their pursuit of earning atlarge bids to the NCAA Tournament.

During Monday’s Big Ten Coaches Teleconference, IU Coach Tom Crean said there is no question that the Cornhuskers are playing as well as any team in the Big Ten. Nebraska (17-11,9-7) won eight of its past 10 games to improve to a tie for fourth place in the conference.

“They can beat you in a lot of different ways,” Crean said. “In watching game film today, they can win with the two-man game, the threeman game, defense, 3-point shooting.”

The Cornhuskers are led by redshirt sophomore guard-forward Terran Petteway, who is tied with Michigan State’s Gary Harris for the highest scoring average in the Big Ten at 17.9 points per game.

By limiting Petteway to five points during the first half Jan. 30, IU (17-12,79) had a 13-point lead at halftime.

The 6-foot-6 wing went on to score 13 points during the second half of the first matchup between the two teams.

Then-senior forward Derek Elston and then-junior forward Jeff Howard cheer as a basket is made during the Hoosiers’ 67-59 win against Northwestern on Jan. 20, 2013, at Welsh-Ryan Arena.

Petteway’s second-half performance helped the Cornhuskers rally in the closing stretch of the game to a 60-55 victory in Lincoln, Neb. “He can really drop his shoulders, and he has to see help before he starts his move,” Crean said. “When that team wins, they are really, really good at getting to the foul line and Petteway is a big, big part of that.”

Petteway draws 5.7 fouls per 40 minutes, per kenpom. com, and averages 5.9 free throw attempts per game.

He shoots 81.7 percent from the charity stripe.

The Hoosiers will need to continue their offensive

consistency to combat Petteway’s scoring. IU’s bench only contributed seven total points against Nebraska in January and Sheehey was 3-for-10 from the field.

Crean said trying to build consistency was one of the biggest challenges the Hoosier coaching staff faced this season.

“I think when you look at this season, whether it was the inexperience of guys in roles, whether it was the youth... you’re trying to get your team to be tough in so many areas but consistency really is the greatest form of toughness you can possibly have in a team,” he said. “It

takes time to get that.”

IU has solidified third and fourth scoring options in addition to team scoring leaders Kevin “Yogi” Ferrell and Noah Vonleh during the team’s most recent home stand.

In the past two games against Iowa and Ohio State, Sheehey, the reigning Big Ten Player of the Week, scored 49 points.

Graduate student guard Evan Gordon chipped in 21 points off the bench and the Hoosiers recorded 61 bench points.

“He has really made a big difference in this program from the beginning of time that he got here and is playing his best basketball right now,” Crean said of Sheehey.

“He is a big, big part of the

leadership of this team and how the team is gaining confidence.”

He said the Hoosiers will need to take the emotion from senior night and play with great energy and toughness against Nebraska.

“And we are going to need our crowd to absolutely help carry us the whole way through,” Crean said.

Hoosier baseball to welcome Xavier in home opener against the Musketeers. Hart is 0-1 with a 6.75 ERA this season. He pitched the ninth inning on Saturday against Toledo, sealing the win.

Smith said the idea behind using Hart against Toledo was just to get him in a game since there were only two games during the weekend.

“Reading all the weather reports back home, we’re not really sure if we’re going to get Wednesday’s game in,” Smith said. “So it was an opportunity to get our pitcher some work.”

Redshirt sophomore righthanded pitcher Eric Stiene will take the mound for Xavier.

BY ANDREW VAILLIENCOURT availlie@indiana.edu

Today IU baseball will play Xavier (5-3) in their home opener at 4:05 p.m.

The No. 17 Hoosiers improved to 4-5 this past weekend after knocking off Toledo and then-No. 20 Louisville. IU was led by junior catcher Kyle Schwarber who batted leadoff for the first time in his career.

“I liked it,” IU Coach Tracy Smith said. “I thought it brought a little more flexibility to our lineup.”

IU will start junior lefthanded pitcher Kyle Hart

He has pitched six innings this year and has yet to give up a run while holding batters to a .158 average.

Smith said it’s important for them to get out to a lead early like they did Saturday.

“We haven’t had that luxury,” Smith said. “We’ve been chasing most of the time, so your pitchers are going to throw differently when they have a lead.”

IU is led by Schwarber, who is batting .342 with one home run, six RBIs, three doubles and two triples. Junior first baseman Sam Travis is batting .278 with seven RBIs.

The Musketeers are coached by Scott Googins, who is in his ninth year at the helm. He is 235-236 at Xavier.

Xavier is led by senior left fielder Vinny Nittoli, who is batting .360 with two home runs and seven RBIs, and sophomore catcher Daniel Rizzie, who is batting .355 with two home runs.

Xavier is batting .295 as a team, good for second in the Big East Conference.

Senior pitcher Joey DeNato said the Hoosiers will not overlook any opponent.

“Every game is a big game for us,” DeNato said.

Junior Will Nolden celebrates with teammates after scoring a run during IU’s game against Louisville on Saturday at Jim Patterson Stadium. IU won 6-2.

HOOPS WITH HOOP

Column: Senior walk-on Jeff Howard stands out with hustle and hair told me he wanted to go flattop. I was like, ‘OK, whatever,’” Howard said. “I liked it. And everybody else seemed to like it, too. They thought it was funny.”

Fans loved it. News media members loved it. The only person who seems to be opposed is his high school coach at Westfield, Eric Rauch.

“I told him he’s got to cut it,” Rauch said while laughing.

This was the only bad thing Rauch had to say about his former star, who averaged 17 points and 13 rebounds during his senior year at Westfield.

Here’s the thing about Jeff Howard: he’s one of the good guys.

When he’s on the floor, he gives everything he’s got. Or when he’s in a classroom at the Kelley School of Business

When IU fans think of Jeff Howard, the two things that come to mind are hustle and hair — and not always in that order.

Howard will be one of the four seniors recognized tonight when IU (17-12, 7-9) welcomes red-hot Nebraska (17-11, 9-7) to Assembly Hall for senior night.

The 6-foot-8 forward from Westfield, Ind., doesn’t see his name in the headlines often.

Howard has been a walk-on all four years at IU. But it was only the summer before last season he decided to make a significant change in his life.

He was going to get a haircut. An ultra cool new haircut.

His roommate, Will Sheehey, urged Howard to do something out of the box.

“Will brought me to a guy he knew and he pretty much

Horoscope

— he’s majoring in Finance and Operations Management — he gives his all.

The past two seasons, Howard has been named an academic All-Big Ten selection. In high school, he boasted a 4.2 GPA on a 4.0 scale and was top 10 in his class of more than 400 students.

“He is absolutely the perfect role model,” Rauch said.

Rauch said his 7-year-old son looks at Howard as his idol. It’s not because Howard plays basketball. It’s not because he plays at IU. It’s because Jeff Howard is a real, genuine person.

“Every time my son saw Jeff, (Howard) said ‘Hi, how are you doing?’” Rauch said.

“And that’s how he was with all the little kids.”

KYLE MAYES

BREWSTER ROCKIT: SPACE GUY!

January 2010. Westfield beat rival Fishers in a six-overtime battle. Not long after, Westfield defeated Broad Ripple in double-overtime.

Howard was magnificent.

In the two games he combined for 42 points and 36 rebounds, according to the Indy Star.

“It was the first time we had seen a level of toughness that we knew he could,” Rauch said.

Howard opted to come to Bloomington to be a fouryear walk on — no, he did not take Luke Fischer’s scholarship, which is a common misconcepception, Howard said — even though he had offers from Ball State, Eastern Kentucky and Army to have a more prolific role.

“I obviously knew I wasn’t going to play as much,” home improvements. Keep fixing what you have. Build a dream.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 6 — Plan a social event to forward a joint project. Collaboration can thrive. You’re even luckier in love, now that Venus is in Aquarius for a month. Create revolutionary ideas and share them with respected people.

Howard said. “But I wanted to come to a school like IU with such great tradition.”

During these four years Howard became known for his defense and relentlessness. He’s seen continually diving for loose balls, never giving up. The effort earned the walk-on his first career start earlier this season against Evansville.

After the game, IU Coach Tom Crean said Howard got the start because he “was a guy that epitomized what we wanted out there in the form of energy, communication and intensity.”

There are many things Howard can’t do on the court.

But he has always given IU his all.

And, he said, he can shoot.

Rauch attested to Howard’s 3-point shot, but that was Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 7 — You have an extra ability to communicate what you’re learning over the next month, with Venus in Aquarius. Regenerate your energy reserves. A charming theory gets presented. Trust your own heart to lead you. Friends help.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 6 — The next month could get quite profitable, with Venus in Aquarius. Attend meetings, make deals, and find the win-win situation. It’s getting easier to advance.

Craft your message and get it out.

It’s getting fun!

never Howard’s role at IU. Howard doesn’t have any regrets about his time in Bloomington — except he never got to jack it up from downtown.

“I’ve always said I’m going to shoot a three by the time I’m out of here,” Howard said while laughing. “Maybe that’s one of the things I’ll wish I would have done.”

He added with a smile, “And I should have got my haircut sooner.”
