STRATEGIC PLAN

Home field advantage IU baseball team beats No. 20 Kentucky, improves to 8-6

Provost’s office builds funding sources

BY KATHRINE SCHULZE schulzek@indiana.edu @KathrineSchulze

The Strategic Plan won’t be anything but a set of goals if there isn’t any money to put its initiatives into action.

The plan has a financial pool of various funding resources behind it, most public of which is the Provost Fund.

“Historically, the funds have been used for campus-level initiatives and priorities,” Vice Provost M.A. Venkataramanan said.

The Provost Fund has existed since the 1990s. It is base funding that is disbursed to the College of Arts and Sciences and other IU schools as a percentage of IU’s annual budget process.

“For instance, last year the majority of Provost funding went to the College and schools to SEE PLAN, PAGE 6

ith a big swing, junior catcher Kyle Schwarber launched a solo home run to straight-away

center field.

It was his third of the season and it gave the Hoosiers a 5-2 lead in the fifth inning, putting the game out of reach from the Kentucky Wildcats.

“It was just a fastball,” Schwarber said. “I didn’t have very good at bats before that and was kind of getting sick of it.”

No. 16 IU improved to 8-6 on the season with the 7-2 victory. The No. 20 Wildcats fell to 13-4.

7-2 The home run was not the only one of the game. IU senior third baseman Dustin DeMuth whacked his first of the year, a two-run homer to right field in the fourth inning. Junior third baseman Max Kuhn hit a solo home-run in the fourth inning for Kentucky.

“It’s always good to get one under your belt,” DeMuth said. “Hopefully there are more to come.”

Junior left-hander Kyle Hart got

the start on the hill for IU and went eight innings, getting the win. He gave up two runs — only one earned — on five hits and struck out eight batters, walking none and also hit one batter.

“We’ve been looking for that consistency out of him,” IU Coach Tracy Smith said. “It was a big win not just for the team, but also for him to get him back on track.”

Sophomore Dylan Dwyer got the start for Kentucky and went 7.1 innings, giving up seven earned runs on five hits, no walks and nine strikeouts.

Bloomington Transit staged a public hearing Tuesday about proposed bus route changes slated to take effect in June or July.

The proposal would cut out all Kirkwood Avenue stops from routes 1, 3 and 5 and all Sixth Street stops cut from route 3.

Bloomington resident Mike Satterfield said he was curious whether or not the Monroe County Public Library had been consulted, considering the parking lot congestion it already suffers.

Bloomington Transit General Manager Lew May said the board had not, but made note of the man’s comment and planned on consulting the library.

W. Kamau Bell will perform at 7 tonight at the Comedy Attic as part of his national tour, “Oh, Everything!”

Bell is a socio-political comedian who started out as a standup comedian and had a comedy series on FX titled “Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell.”

“I’ve been a stand-up comic for a long time, and this is the stuff I’ve been working on for a long time,” Bell said.

The show will contain pop culture and political references.

Bell’s inspiration comes from things he sees on the Internet, frustration and his daughter, he said.

If what he sees evokes emotion, such as frustration, then it will become material for his performance.

Bell said he started to develop a show when he lived in San Francisco. But even as a child, he wanted to be a comedian.

“When I was a kid, I always wanted to be a stand-up comic once I realized I couldn’t be a superhero,” he said. “I’m an

Athletes develop long-term health issues

BY ANTHONY BRODERICK aebroder@indiana.edu

Athletes need to stay active to compete during their careers, but it might prove painful later in life.

The IU School of Public Health conducted a recent study revealing elite college athletes might face mid-life health consequences.

The study was led by Janet Simon, an associate instructor/doctoral candidate in the IU School of Public Health. The study was featured in the American Journal of Sports Medicine this month.

“To be honest, I thought that former Division I athletes may complain of more serious injuries, which may cause physical limitations and pain than non-studentathletes,” Simon said. “How-

ever, I was surprised that the former Division I athletes also scored worse on the depression, fatigue and sleep disturbances scales.”

Division I athletes compete at the highest level of intercollegiate athletics in the country. Simon’s inspiration for the study came from meeting a Division I athlete who spoke about his previous injuries from college and how they have affected his ability to stay active with accomplishing tasks in his everyday life.

She said his story made her wonder if there are other athletes like him.

Simon sent out questionnaires about health-related quality of life to former Division I athletes, ages 40 to 64.

Her study analyzed questionnaires from 232 former Division I athletes and 225

She discovered 67 percent of the athletes reported sustaining a major injury and 50 percent reported chronic injuries, compared to 28 percent and 26 percent respectively for nonathletes.

In regards to current IU students, Simon said all individuals should stay active, despite their athletic past.

“Many of the Division I sports are not lifelong sports, so it is important for the athletes to find sports and activities that can keep them active as they age,” Simon said.

“Transitioning from a Division I athlete to a recreational athlete is hard, especially in sports such as football that may not translate as well to the recreational athlete lifestyle.”

non-collegiate athletes.

When Simon compared her studies on former Division I athletes to non-athletes who were physically active in college and then the general U.S. population, it appeared the second group reported the best quality of life, followed by the general U.S. population.

Simon said the reason the lowest qualities of life were reported by former Divison I athletes was simple.

“Former Division I athletes sustain more injuries and possibly more severe injuries due to the rigor of their sport,” she said.

According to her results, the former Division I athletes were more than twice as likely as non-athletes to report physical activity limitations to daily activities and exercise.

One in four searches made online are in search of pornographic material, telecommunications professor Bryant Paul said.

And Paul is on a mission to discover exactly what kind of pornographic content is out there.

“This is a benchmark study to find out what the hell is actually out there,” Paul said. “How can you not study the most fundamental social behavior?”

Paul and his group of student volunteers have watched and logged 5,000 explicit videos in their last year of work. By the end of this year, Paul said, he hopes to have 6,500 videos ready to analyze.

Paul said he received a lot of media requests asking what kind of explicit material is available online but could not find any specific information on what types of porn were most popular or what trends were present.

“I thought, we need to do this,” Paul said. “We need to come up with an objective, systematic content analysis and figure out what the most popular sites have on them.”

He said his team has studied both heterosexual and non-heterosexual pornographic videos from xvideo.com and pornhub. com, the two most popular porn sites.

The process to analyze the videos is complex, Paul said, with students watching videos anywhere from 30

seconds to two hours.

After answering some basic information about the time, length and title, student volunteers watch the video and fill out an elaborate Excel sheet with 73 questions about the content.

These questions range from the number of people in the scene to the number of times an individual was penetrated.

This “coding” process takes much longer than people assume, volunteer and senior Abbey Gross said.

Gross said she has been working on this project since the beginning of the semester. Paul’s students can get anywhere from one to three credits for participating in this study, depending on how much time they are willing to dedicate.

“Coding a five-minute double penetration scene can take longer than you think whenever you are looking for things like whether or not the girl had her genitals pierced,” Gross said.

Paul said the goal of these specific questions is to gain bigger ideas from the small details. For example, the question “Does aggression take place?” is vague.

To solve this problem, Paul said, he asked “Is any physical aggression shown during any sex act?” and then provided a dropdown menu of acts such as “pushing,” “pulling hair” and “gagging” to gain more specific answers.

College Board revises SAT, IU reacts Williams dispels Black Panther Test of knowledge or wealth? misconceptions

BY AARICKA WASHINGTON aadwash@indiana.edu

IU freshman Aaron Welcher remembers his score on the SAT even though he took the test a year ago. It was 1,650. He hit a little bit above the national average mark out of 2,400.

“For all the studying I did, I feel like I should’ve gotten higher,” Welcher said.

Two years from now, high school students from around the country will take a revised SAT standardized test.

Last Wednesday, College Board President Dan Coleman announced major changes to the test that many high school juniors and seniors sweat about. The new SAT, which will be placed on the desks of high school students come 2016, will be more analysis and application based in order to improve how the test measures success in schools. These changes include scaling the perfect score back to 1600, eliminating penalties for wrong answers, substituting obscure words like “crepusular” and “acquiesce” to words students would more likely use in college and their career, making the required essay optional and creating more applicable math problems.

According to the College Board, there will be three sections to the test: EvidenceBased Reading and Writing, Math and the optional essay.

The new changes could in turn affect the way IU considers applicants to the University.

Sacha Thieme, the IU executive director of admissions, said even though IU requires SAT or ACT scores, it’s just one factor of the admissions process. Other factors, like a student’s high school transcript, application and their GPA trends over time each play a part in determining which students

are accepted to IU. In addition to these factors, Thieme said this admissions year, potential students could write a personal statement in their application.

The personal statement will give potential students the opportunity to express excellent academic work, acknowledge something questionable that shows up in another part of the application or show adversity in a certain situation, Thieme said.

According to the IU Office of Admissions, students admitted in fall 2013 scored an average of 1203 on the Critical Reading and Math portion combined of the SAT. The average GPA is 3.68.

Thieme said usually students’ SAT scores coincide with their GPA. These revisions come after pressing concerns of the validity of the College Board’s SAT and if it could accurately measure aptitude in students that have yet to start college.

Last month, National Public Radio obtained a study from the National Association of College Admission Counseling that showed students who didn’t submit SAT scores graduated at a higher number than submitters at 33 public and private colleges and universities around the country that make it optional to submit. It showed that high school grades have more of an impact than SAT scores.

Thieme said she believes that SAT scores still play an important factor in considering students, but it’s not the most important factor..

“The way I look at the test, it’s part of the overall student profile,” Thieme said.

High school test takers will also have access to free SAT test preparatory classes from Khan Academy. This could give students from lower income backgrounds more access to study materials for the test.

She said the University

“The IU community will be learning about the test together as the plan for the new SAT unfolds,” Thieme said.

Jakobi Williams said he educates to end misconceptions of the Black Panther Party at IU. At a round table discussion Tuesday at the Poynter Center at IU, Williams, a history professor at IU, discussed racial coalitions and his new book, “From the Bullet to the Ballot,” which delves into the history of the Black Panther Party in Chicago.

His message related to the stereotype that the BPP is the Klu Klux Klan for black people.

“It’s important to recognize that the Panthers didn’t hate white people, and their legacies live on today,” Williams said. “Aside from the election of the first black president, they helped establish the Child Nutrition Act, and free liberation schools and awareness of sickle cell.”

Welcher, who is majoring in law and public policy, said these changes are a step in the right direction toward admitting a wider variety of students.

“I feel like standardized testing now puts students into boxes that don’t show who they actually are,” Welcher said. “They’re looking at the numbers that they score, they don’t look at the individual and what they have achieved.”

of how the Rainbow Coalition, a group composed of BPP members, worked with all races by bringing people together with common socioeconomic backgrounds.

That included photos of Black Panthers working with Young Patriots, a group of white southerners who often wore the confederate flag.

He also dispelled the idea of the BPP being violent for reasons beyond selfdefense by explaining the idea of black power.

“Black power is not that the BPP hate white people or think blacks are supreme,” Williams said.

“It’s about economic and political control of your own community. It gets confused when it’s juxtaposed with the idea of white power.”

Community criticizes ISTEP

BY SYDNEY MURRAY slmurray@indiana.edu @sydlm13

The Indiana Coalition for Public Education and members of the community met Tuesday at the Northwest YMCA to discuss ISTEP and other standardized testing.

Phillip and Joan Harris, authors of “The Myths of Standardized Tests: Why They Don’t Tell You What You Think They Do,” led the meeting, which began with a question: “What do you think test scores tell us about students, teachers and schools?”

Attendees divided into groups, and many of the groups said testing can reveal the social-economic status of a student, but not much else.

One group said the test does not reveal anything about what students need to be taught next.

“What’s interesting to me is what’s not there,” Phillip Harris said.

Phillip Harris said many standardized tests are groupbased and group norms establish a passing score. He said the standardized tests are designed so half of students will score below average.

Phillip said test items are not objective because someone decides what item should be used to measure a certain skill. He said if a question is asked to a sample group and

The Indiana legislative session ends Friday. Here are updates on some of the bills that have been moving through the legislature.

Guns on school grounds Senate Bill 229 would allow guns on school grounds if they are locked in cars. Students would not be allowed to possess a firearm on school grounds unless they are a member of a shooting team, in which case they would need to receive permission from their principal.

The bill removes a part of the law making possession of a firearm on property that is being used by a school for a school function a felony.

It also includes a provision making it a class A misdemeanor if the firearm is in plain view inside the vehicle.

The bill was returned to the Senate with amendments from the House last Monday, which the Senate dissented from last Wednesday.

The House and Senate are still negotiating.

half the group answers incorrectly, it will be kept. But, if the whole group answers incorrectly or the whole group answers correctly, the question will be thrown out.

He said this method makes it seem like the test is objective, but he said the test is still made up by someone, created by trying to use science.

The Harrises then presented the group with a standardized test of their own.

Each person was given a short paragraph and told to pick out

the F’s on the page. Out of 18 people who took the test, only four counted the correct number of F’s.

Phillip said children’s test scores are compared to a group that no one knows anything about and that might be different from a student taking the test.

Phillip also mentioned that teachers don’t receive the results of what problems their students answered correctly and incorrectly, so teachers don’t know what their stu-

dents aren’t learning properly.

“You don’t learn much from what you got right,” Phillip said.

As the meeting went on, those in attendance participated in another task.

recommendations to homes and businesses on decreasing energy consumption.

The bill would also keep the state from requiring utility companies to meet energy efficiency goals.

After passing the Senate with the House’s amendments 37-8 Monday, the bill heads to Gov. Mike Pence for a decision.

Lifeline Law Senate Bill 227 gives increased immunity to people calling 911 under the influence of alcohol.

A person would be immune to arrest for alcohol offenses if he or she is the victim of a sex offense or is reporting a crime.

Current law already provides immunity for people calling for medical emergencies.

The bill also provides police and prosecutors the option not to arrest or file charges against a person under the influence of illegal drugs who was caught because they made a 911 call for a medical emergency.

The Senate unanimously passed the bill with the House’s amendments Thursday, so it will go to Pence.

Pre-K funding House Bill 1004 would establish a prekindergarten and early learning study commission.

This version of the bill passed the Senate 44-5 on

Feb. 27. The bill originally created a pilot program for preschool vouchers for lowincome children.

Pence pushed for the voucher program and testified before the Senate Education and Career and Development Committee in support of it Feb. 12, the first time he had testified for a bill as governor.

The House dissented from Senate amendments last Tuesday, so it is still in negotiation.

Drug testing for welfare recipients House Bill 1351 creates a program to drug test people with previous drug convictions who receive benefits from Temporary Assistance for Needy Families.

The House version of the bill would require tests when an individual applies for assistance and annually while the individual receives the assistance.

It also restricts using the benefits to buy any food that is not permitted under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.

The Senate passed the bill 34-14 last Tuesday, and the House dissented from the Senate’s amendments last Wednesday, so the bill is still in negotiation.

House Bill 1380 includes updates on many tax issues, including denying same-sex married couples the option to file joint tax returns.

Some senators said allowing same-sex couples to receive tax benefits would conflict with Indiana law that bans same-sex marriages.

The part of the bill dealing with how same-sex couples file taxes was added by the Senate after the House had already voted.

The bill was returned to the House with amendments last Tuesday, and the House dissented Wednesday. It is still in negotiation.

Business tax cut House Bill 1001 deals with the business personal property tax cut proposed by Pence.

It originally eliminated all business personal property taxes, but local governments and schools objected to the lost revenue.

The current plan allows counties the options to decide which cuts to implement.

The bill passed the Senate 35-15 last Tuesday, and the House dissented last Wednesday. It was discussed in a conference committee Tuesday.

The College Board announced March 5 changes will be made to the SAT. The new SAT will first be administered in spring 2016.

Changes will be made to both the math and English/ language arts portions of the exam.

Vocabulary words will be changed from obscure words to ones that students will use more often in their college and professional careers, according to a College Board press release.

The essay portion of the exam will no longer be required. According to the release, while the writing work students complete in the reading and writing portion of the test is predictive of college readiness and success, one essay alone has not contributed greatly to the overall predictive nature of the exam.

John Livingston, counselor and SAT coordinator at Bloomington High School South, said the changes to the test are positive. Many school officials and students have been asking for change, and the new test will be more relevant to students, he said.

He said the test will relate more to what students are already learning in the classroom, instead of requiring that students study vocabulary outside of school.

Livingston said all students will most likely improve, so comparing students against one another would still be relevant.

Livingston said although Indiana has always been an “SAT state,” the ACT’s popularity has been growing.

“It seems like this is market driven,” he said.

Livingston said the SAT is changing because students have a choice in tests, and the SAT seems to be aligning more with the ACT. The exam will also contain passages from important documents in American history, such as the Declaration of Independence and the Federalist Papers. Students will no longer be penalized for an incorrect answer.

The math section will focus on three topics — algebra, problem solving and data analysis, and advanced math.

Adam Terwilliger, math department chair at Bloomington High School North, said the math section of the SAT will now focus more on applied knowledge instead of procedural problems.

Terwilliger said the procedural components are important to learn, but it is also important for students to be able to apply knowledge to outside world situations. He said the math curriculum won’t change much, but changes will be made in how the questions are asked.

College Board President David Coleman said the Board will expand the organization’s reach to college-ready, low-income students to also help them in the college application process.

Every income-eligible student who takes the SAT will be given four fee waivers for applying to college.

“We can cut through so much red tape and hesitation by giving students the admission fee waivers they need, information they understand and the encouragement they need to apply more broadly,” Coleman said in the press release.

The Board will also partner with Khan Academy to provide all students with free SAT preparation. This free preparation is expected to be released in spring 2015.

For students who are currently taking the SAT, they can access hundreds of previously unreleased practice problems on the Khan Academy website, as well as video tutorials for the problems.

“For too long, there’s been a well-known imbalance between students who could afford test-prep courses and those who couldn’t,” Sal Khan, founder and executive director of Khan Academy, said in the press release.

“We’re thrilled to collaborate closely with the College Board to level the playing field by making truly world-class test-prep materials freely available to all students.”

EDITORIAL BOARD

Comedian takes on our joke of a Congress

ILLUSTRATION BY ROSE HARDING | IDS

WE SAY: Policy should be no laughing matter It’s hardly surprising to hear that Congress hasn’t exactly been running smoothly, and yet every time we’re reminded of its ineptitude, we’re still disappointed. Seth Rogan was especially disappointed when 16 senators failed to appear, or worse, left in the middle of his address about financing Alzheimer’s research.

Rogan’s heartfelt speech was spurred by his personal experience with the devastation of Alzheimer’s.

His mother-in-law suffers from the disease. Though he started with a few ice-breaker jokes, it was pretty clear Rogan took the issue and the platform seriously.

So it boggles our minds why some members of Congress couldn’t respect him enough to just show up.

Perhaps they take his political involvement as a novel publicity stunt,

and that’s why they didn’t feel the need to pay attention. But the truth is, for Rogan and the American people, it was anything but a joke.

Rogan tweeted after the address, calling out the absence of all but two senators, saying it was symbolic of the lack of priority that Alzheimer’s seems to have in Congress. To the Editorial Board, it seems characteristic of the lack of priority Congress has been exhibiting to the American people, period.

Alzheimer’s is a disease that affects people of every party all over the United States and in every district that these Senators represent.

Caring for their constituents is their job. And even if they fail on that front, they should take this into account: Alzheimer’s affects 5 million people aged 65 and older, while

the average age of a U.S. Senator is around 62.

Our Congress has fallen into such a state of ineffectiveness and removal from the well-being of the American people that its members can’t even bring themselves to pay attention to legislation that could benefit some of their own.

It is a simple issue to agree on, and can anyone really say they don’t want people suffering from Alzheimer’s to get some help? But even this bipartisan issue, that anyone could at least consider, doesn’t get the time of day. For 16 of the 18 senators who were supposed to attend, something else was more important than doing their jobs.

The saddest part is that attendance records this dismal are the norm.

Rogan expressed the Editorial Board’s exact concern when he responded to this behavior on “Hardball” with Chris Matthews: “It’s indicative of a mentality that we find so frustrating. It seems like these people don’t care.”

It has reached the point where we have Hollywood actors, whose contribution to society up until now was “genetalia-driven comedy,” taking more of an interest in the American people and policy than the people who have made it their careers.

Congress needs to wake up and get to work. Whether they can actually get to work and actually accept responsibility for the policy in this country is another question. opinion@idsnews.com

The intelligence community is gobbling up everything these days, and it’s doing it effectively without any oversight.

Tuesday morning, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, accused the CIA of illegally searching a Senate computer system.

While the committee, which is charged with overseeing the intelligence community of the executive branch, was investigating the controversial interrogation tactics of the CIA, a special facility was set up in Virginia for staffers to look over agency documents.

One day, staffers got their hands on a document they shouldn’t have seen.

They shouldn’t have seen it because it was an internal document that was more critical than the CIA was willing to admit publicly, and it was covered by executive privilege.

After the CIA realized the document had been viewed by the Senate Intelligence Committee, it conducted a secret audit of a Senate computer system to determine how it happened.

Feinstein claims this

search represents a violation of the separation of powers, but she has it backward. This issue isn’t a violation of that separation — it’s a symptom of separation gone too far.

The CIA argues it was authorized to conduct its audit because the document in question was covered by executive privilege, and the Senate had no right to know of its existence, let alone read it.

That’s a problem. If the Senate committee is charged with overseeing the CIA and other intelligence organizations, those organizations shouldn’t be cherry-picking what their overseer gets to see.

Far from a safeguard against tyrannical government, the separation of powers has slowly mutated into an excuse for overreach. The Senate can’t adequately oversee the intelligence community because the intelligence community exists significantly outside its sphere of power.

We’re taught that this system protects us from the overreach of government, that our many branches balance each other by their very nature.

What we’ve ended up with, though, is far from balanced.

DRAKE REED is a senior majoring in economics.

Today we have the very overreach we claim we’re so effectively safeguarded against.

Separation of powers is why John Brennan, the director of the CIA, can claim the audit was perfectly legal.

Even more scandalously, it’s why James Clapper, the director of the NSA, can lie about his organization’s illegal activities in multiple sessions before Congress and keep his job.

The White House has defended Clapper, saying Barack Obama has “full faith in Director Clapper’s leadership of the intelligence community.”

Any effective oversight committee would have chucked Clapper out of Washington already. The fact that Congress can’t isn’t a reason to venerate our system of government. It’s a reason to criticize it. drlreed@indiana.edu @D_L_Reed

Libertarianism is a frustrating ideology. Its positions are close to the right answers, but they don’t quite bridge the gap.

It acknowledges that liberality when it comes to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights, for example, won’t bring the Four Horsemen galloping in, but can’t quite take the next step to see that economic justice is just as vital.

Their ideas trumpet the virtues of the free market and hard work, but you don’t see many near-poverty single mothers juggling two jobs while professing their love for von Mises.

Instead, and not coincidentally, libertarianism is believed largely by those who already have the game rigged in their favor — white men.

According to the Public Religion Research Institute, 94 percent of self-identified libertarians are non-Hispanic white, and 68 percent of libertarians are men.

Libertarianism isn’t going away any time soon.

A recent poll of Millennials from the Pew Research

Institute indicates our cohort is more liberal as a whole — except for those white men.

For example, a majority of Millennials support a “bigger government” with “more services.” The racial divide that so often bedevils American politics, however, raises its head again here.

Only 39 percent of white respondents supported more government services, as compared to 71 percent of non-white respondents.

A small majority of white Millennials favor a path to citizenship for immigrants, and 70 percent favor legalization of same-sex marriage. Yet, 14 percent fewer white Millennials than nonwhite favor government provision of health care.

The good news is that Millennials are, on the whole, more diverse than previous generations. Forty-three percent of those polled are non-white, and Millennials overall are more liberal than their parents on most issues.

Still, the libertarian trend among our white peers is worrisome.

EVAN STAHR is a senior majoring in policy analysis.

It is worrisome because libertarianism lends a false veneer of permissiveness and social tolerance to the same old Republican economic ideas that have destroyed the economic status and social mobility of our generation.

Libertarianism allows white people to pat themselves on the back with one hand for being socially progressive while continuing to grind the poor to dust with the other.

So, Millennials, let’s continue to move forward.

Let’s not fall into the mental trap of believing that social equality is the only condition for true equality.

We need economic justice, too, and an unfettered free market will not provide that. Millennials will be running the show soon enough. Let’s make sure we do it well. estahr@indiana.edu

99 PROBLEMS

Interdisciplinary majors a needed reality check It’s getting tougher and tougher to find jobs. Believe me, I’m going through the search right now.

And it’s not even a job search. It’s an internship search that I’m hoping will lead to some sort of full-time employment. So, freshmen, live it up.

But the real point of this isn’t to moan about my lack of employment. It’s to highlight the fact that with plans like the “Finish in Four” initiative, we’re trying to reverse where we’ve been and get more people to graduate and graduate on time.

It’s great, and it has landed IU in a prominent spot on many “great deal” studies throughout the nation, including the Washington Monthly’s “Best Bang for the Buck” rankings.

Graduating is good. We want students to graduate. But it does mean more competition in the job market.

Luckily, IU is also taking steps to get students to grow and prove themselves worthy of the job through proposed interdisciplinary majors.

Interim Vice Provost for Education Dennis Groth said he recognizes the amount of students who have multiple majors and enhance their degrees with certificates and minors, and he is “looking at ways that we can investigate the paths that our students have already taken.”

This would essentially put a focus on making more programs within the Media School, which has generated some buzz throughout campus in the past year.

Overall, focusing on more programs like this can be highly beneficial from a student perspective.

Interdisciplinary majors will help people focus their multiple interests and buffer their degree with minors and certificates. It will give

institutional backing with trained advisers who can confidently answer questions about the varying aspects of the degree — not guessing how the other department functions.

It will also give more students more enticing and realistic opportunities.

Being an English and theatre and drama major, I’m basically in the hurricane of high-risk degrees paired with typical bigdreamers. We’re not all going to be actors on Broadway or writing the next great American novel — statistically, it’s impossible.

I see people in my daily life who are solely graduating with a degree in English, focusing on creative writing. There’s nothing wrong with this as long as you don’t lose track of the reality of the job market.

You’ll most likely work for a publishing house or literary agent before you can be John Steinbeck.

Interdisciplinary majors will help provide this reality check and facilitate students working toward becoming truly desirable parts of the workforce.

Finally, interdisciplinary majors would help break down large, useless institutions the University loves to buy into, like the College of Arts and Sciences — something many of you know I’m passionate about.

While most of us normally complain about the University on this page, this week I say “Good job, IU.” I’m tempted to fail some of my classes so I can stick around and see what unfolds.

GUEST COLUMN

The NSA and why you should care If you’re like me, you didn’t think much of the National Security Agency scandal at first glance. Even as the story relentlessly progressed, from the PRISM program to the recent confirmation that the UK’s Government Communications Headquarters has been randomly storing screenshots of video chats, the story seems distant, unrelatable.

After all, we’re not criminals. We shouldn’t care if the government has access to our digital lives.

Like many of you, my opinion soon changed. Even if we’re not involved with illegal activity, mass surveillance can disrupt our lives.

Take for example the case of Brandon Mayfield. Mayfield was an

upstanding citizen just like you. His only fault was resembling the characteristics of a terrorist. When a terrorist attack occurred in 2004, Mayfield was quickly designated by the FBI as a lead suspect in the case. Ignoring warnings from the international intelligence community, the FBI physically surveilled Mayfield and accessed his digital communications all without warrant or just cause.

The issue at hand here is a psychological phenomenon known as confirmation bias.

When analyzing an enormous amount of data, like that which the leading intelligence-intensive nations collect, individuals seek patterns that justify their suspicions rather than vice versa.

Here is where we enter the

picture.

As students, we possess many characteristics that could erroneously implicate us in a crime. Relative to the general population, we’re more likely to participate in a radical political group or protest. Many of us are at an age that is known to contribute to relatively high crime rates.

Many statistics would indicate to an intelligence agency that we could be linked with illicit activity.

Given these characteristics, law enforcement could draw conclusions that may unjustly lead to a student’s surveillance or even arrest.

Obviously, certain demographics other than students’ would be disproportionately affected by confirmation bias.

Although collecting mass

data may slightly increase national security, it will negatively affect the lives of those who may be statistically more likely to be involved in a crime, like Mayfield.

It is time we took responsibility for the intelligence agencies that operate on our tax dollars. We need to demand that our representatives take a stance on unwarranted surveillance.

The next time you read yet another headline about the NSA ordeal, don’t pass it off because you’re an innocent citizen. johnfren@indiana.edu

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

BANK ON IT

Equality in punishment for domestic abuse In November, Sarah Bray raised hell with Franciscan St. Francis Health-Indianapolis.

Bray’s partner, Jennifer Clemmer, was admitted to the hospital for an overdose that Bray said was a suicide attempt. When Bray tried to go see her partner, she claimed that the hospital officials would not let her into the room. Bray said they refused her access because of her sexual orientation.

You can imagine how excited this got local activist groups. GetEqual, a gay rights group, learned of Bray’s claims and released a statement saying the hospital was in violation of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender hospital visitation rights.

The hospital denied that it refused Bray access to her partner, and the two parties have gone back and forth, always shifting the blame to something else.

In the midst of this annoying feud, GetEqual spokesman David Stevens poked his nose where it didn’t belong.

He completely sided with Bray, saying, “I feel like no matter what’s happened, unless she’s an absolute danger to her partner, that she should have the right to be there by her side.”

Well, he sure is eating his words now.

On Feb. 20, Bray was sentenced to a misdemeanor battery charge. It turns out Clemmer didn’t try to kill herself. Bray tried to kill Clemmer.

After leaving their home because of a fight, Clemmer said she received threatening text messages from Bray demanding she return home. When Clemmer returned, Bray punched her

in the face five times and slammed her face into the floor.

Maybe I’m just reading too far into things, but that makes Bray seem dangerous to me.

In January, Bray pleaded guilty. As part of her plea deal, the charges of criminal confinement and felony battery were dropped. Bray got off with 180 days of probation and a required trip to a psychologist.

This woman landed her significant other in the critical care unit, and she’s getting off with a slap on the wrist.

She lied to news media and used her sexual orientation as a tool to gain the attention of the public. She had people rallying behind her, painting the hospital out to be the bad guy when she was the one at fault.

What Bray did is deserving of serious jail time. If she was a man, I have no doubt in my mind that she would be behind bars right now.

This idea of patriarchal chivalry, of taking it easy on women, is old and outdated.

It’s time we mature as a society and accept that women can be bad people, too — and they should have to answer for that.

The law needs to apply proper punishment for domestic abuse, regardless of gender, race or sexual orientation. No one should get away with abusing another human being. lnbanks@indiana.edu @LexiaBanks

Re: Politically ancient conservatives convene As members of the IU College Republicans, we are no strangers to accusations that we are old and dated, but the perpetual repetition of these attacks does not mitigate their inaccuracies.

Andrew Guenther’s lambasting of the Conservative Political Action Conference in this week’s column is just the latest in a stream of false assertions about conservatives, which frankly act as diversions from the true and important debates that we need to have.

A contingent of IU College Republicans attended CPAC this past weekend and had a great time meeting future presidential candidates and learning about possible solutions to our nation’s largest problems. Among the activities were the various panels throughout the weekend, one of which concerned diversity.

One of Guenther’s beefs with this panel is simply false.

There were not five white men participating in the discussion. There were two black men and two white men plus a white moderator.

Of course, the only reason we bring up this fact is to reveal the truth — we conservatives do not measure our level of diversity or lack of racism by counting the number of minorities we have on a panel as others may do.

We measure these things with our ideas for a nation that uplifts all people, regardless of racial classification.

Second, there were always numerous panels going on simultaneously at CPAC. Thus, their average attendance typically hovered around two dozen people. The diversity panel was easily one of the most highly attended discussions of the weekend. It just

happened to be in the hotel’s largest room.

As for Guenther’s claim that CPAC represented an aging conservative base, we respond with the fact that more than half the conference’s attendees were Millennials, with 46 percent of them being younger than 25.

In the end, conservatives and the Republican Party yearn to embrace diversity by expanding economic opportunity and the chance to carry out the American Dream for all — not by endlessly seeking to divide us based on our differences as those on the left tend to do.

CPAC was filled to the brim with speakers and discussions excitingly revealing different strategies on how to reach out to every corner of our society. The conservative speakers who happened to be minorities are not “tokens” of

race. They are representatives of the ideals of liberty and self-empowerment, which built this country.

Maybe if Guenther had actually been there instead of judging tweets by their cover, he would have understood the great things yet to come in the conservative movement.

Then again, maybe not, since it seems to us that Guenther is more concerned with ad hominem attacks than discussing the actual issues.

Guenther would be well served to realize that by writing off Republicans as intolerant, he is contributing to the very problem he seeks to solve.

Now can we please talk about what’s really important? Maybe we can start with the left’s policies that are destroying our nation.

Crean’s ‘Kamikaze Kids’ My high school coach couldn’t cure my inadequacies (I was short and slow), but he sure could coach basketball. Ball movement was his trademark.

After 60-some years, I can still almost hear him say, “Pass the ball! Pass the ball like it’s a hot potato. No matter that the pass isn’t

always progressive. No defense-man or zone can move as fast as that ball moved quick.”

That advice is still valid.

It’s too bad that our IU team has seldom heeded it.

We Hoosier fans are losing patience with our halting half-court offense.

Too often we see a player

at mid-court dribbling away precious seconds on the shot clock. We end up settling for a hurried shot as time runs out. Pass the ball!

Coach Crean’s “Kamikaze Kids” do show promise in between their dribble-drives into holes that don’t exist.

But there are things that need to change at half court.

Our players need to adopt a passing mentality as if they could do it in their sleep. If not, next year will likely bear the same result as this year.

Brown talks journey, eco-impacts

BY AMANDA MARINO ammarino@indiana.edu @amandanmarino

As Bryan Brown kayaked down the Colorado River, a family of American otters ran the rapids with him.

Unfortunately, because of the current strain on the environment, Brown said many people might not have the same opportunity in the future. “They’re precious little animals,� Brown said.

After conducting a record-breaking 100-day trip down the Colorado River, IU graduate Brown spoke at the Indiana Memorial Union about his trip and all of the environmental distress he noted along the way.

Along with American otters, Brown saw other endangered animals, such as clapper rails. “There are maybe 400 left of these in the U.S.,�

Brown said.

As he developed his voice, Bell said he encountered a tough time in the places he performed. “Ultimately, when you’re a comedian, you need to figure out how to be funny, and that is an internal obstacle,� he said. “It’s all about finding your voice. In the comedy clubs, I got frustrated because I wanted to focus on race and current events, but the people in the clubs got tired of that after 10 minutes.�

Eventually, Bell said he knew he had to move on to a venue where his show would encounter an audience that enjoyed his material.

environment is suffering greatly because of urbanization and environmental ignorance.

He noted that Lakes Mead and Powell are losing water and are in danger of suffering permanent damage. “I saw exactly zero turtles,� Brown said, explaining that the animals are unable to live in environments that have been severely polluted.

The pollution in some areas was so severe that Brown suffered injuries. The skin on his feet was burned off five times by a combination of pesticides, fertilizers and mining runoffs. “It’s a serious problem,�

Brown said. “My feet were so bad ... they were sticking to my boat. I had to peel them off.�

Brown, a leave-no-trace traveler who makes sure not to leave any impact on the environments he travels through, said there is a nuclear waste dump near Moab, Utah, separated from the

water by dirt.

Brown suggested ways to combat these issues on an individual level. “We have to start now,�

Brown said. �We can make minor, minor changes that can save animals.�

Aware of people’s general negative response to the concept of global warming, Brown said people could be approached by talking about urbanization’s role in influencing the environment.

Making buffers to protect wildlife and holding oneself personally responsible for taking care of the environment are just two small steps that people can take to help save wildlife, he said.

Dustin Smucker, leisure programs coordinator of IU Outdoor Adventures, said he feels there is something healing about the outdoors.

Both men shared sentiments that people need to get outside and appreciate nature, and they weren’t the only two.

Native Hoosier Lonnie Bedwell completed a kayaking trip across the Grand Canyon despite his blindness.

He was assisted by guides from Team River Runners, an organization that helps disabled veterans to heal through paddle activities like kayaking. “We see the purpose to do it,� Bedwell said. “Putting it in words is hard because it is above words.�

Though Bedwell cannot see where he is going and appreciate the visual beauty of nature in the way that Brown does, the descriptions of his trips from people around him coupled with what he felt and heard along the way help him paint a picture in his head. “It was what the river did to me itself,� Bedwell said.

Brown encouraged the audience to try and find ways to experience nature like he does, but on their own level. “It’s a privilege,� he said.

This will lead the Strategic Plan into the next phase of determining resources,

priorities and timeliness, Venkataramanan said.

External grants will be another resource for funding, he said. And it’s one of the plan’s “grand challenges� to attract grants from both government and private entities. “The Provost believes strongly that there will be outside support for a significant number of the proposed initiatives,� Venkataramanan said.

For larger projects such as funding an Arts and Humanities center, he said, the Provost plans to use existing campus resources and

strengths combined with external resources.

There isn’t a budget for the plan yet, Venkataramanan said.

That will begin after the draft has been finalized, which will be soon after the public comment period ends March 19. “The Provost specifically charged the committees with coming up with visionary ideas,� Venkataramanan said. “She did not want financial considerations or current organizational structures and systems to constrain the vision or the creativity.�

comedy clubs and was later discovered by Chris Rock. “Chris Rock is how I became a prominent person in comedy,� Bell said.

Nonetheless, he said he characterizes himself as only a semi-prominent man in comedy.

Race is a popular topic in Bell’s performances, and he has overcome obstacles associated with race. “Because I’m in America, I have the obstacle of being black,� Bell said. “In America, if you’re not a straight white guy over six feet tall, then you have obstacles to overcome.

I am over six feet tall and straight, but I am black.�

He said his audience is what he loves most about being a stand-up comedian. “I like getting to meet people and perform for people who are excited to see

me,� Bell said. “I like being able to connect with people.

I like people who like me. I’m weird like that.�

After every show, he said he enjoys talking to the audience. “The intimacy of live performance is the best part,� he said.

Bell said he is happy to be

in Bloomington performing for the audience that was a fan of his TV show.

He said in order to make it as a comedian, you have to continue to perform and persevere. “If you don’t quit, you stand a better chance of success.� Bell said. “So don’t quit.�

see with the Rainbow Coalition,� Williams said. “However, there’s a new BPP today and I tell people to stay the hell away from it. They have internalized the propaganda and stereotypes about the BPP and are hating white people.�

The Poynter Center played host to the event in concordance with their mission to talk about ethical issues across all disciplines, Young said.

The BPP’s grassroots tactics were what interested her most from William’s talk, she said. “I was really impressed to learn more about BPP

methods,� Young said. “It’s something I’d want to use here in community organizing.�

Williams gave several examples of community organizing, such as setting up free health clinics without government help.

The event drew a smaller crowd than usual, Glenda Murray, the program coordinator, said. “I had really high hopes,�

Murray said. “In the future I’d love to have more people here, but I guess the nice weather kept them outside.�

Usually the round table discussions at the Poynter Center bring in a dozen or so

people Murray said, but this event brought in six.

Despite the small crowd, Williams said he still plans to bring in members from the Rainbow Coalition, including two BPP members to IU March 28.

He said he believes the message of racial coalitions for a common cause is needed today and hopes bringing in BPP members will help encourage it. “America is more polarized than it’s ever been in history,� he said. “In my opinion, these political trends demonstrate how we have a lot more in common than we think we do.�

Phillip made the point that society has agreed upon units of measurement for many different things, but not for education, though he said people seem to think test scores are that unit.

He said proponents of testing conclude an indirect measure of knowledge, like testing, is better than a direct measure of knowledge, such as a student’s actual performance. “We shouldn’t let our children be subject to indirect observation,� Phillip said. “Period.�

He said the quantity of students opting out of testing is growing.

Sofia McDowell attended the meeting with her son and said she is an active supporter of public education. She said it is important to address all aspects of education, including standards and accountability.

Schwarber and Rodrigue. “Generally in baseball when you get the two-out RBI, you have a good chance of winning,� Smith said. “I thought our guys that needed to hit in crucial situations did a good job of it today. If you draw it up that’s what it’s supposed to look like.�

The warm temperatures brought 2,746 people to Bart Kaufman Field, something Smith said gave IU energy. “I think that’s what people fail to realize is that when you’re a team from the North, you’re playing a lot of baseball on the road, and you’re playing in that environment when they’re rooting against you,�

Smith said. “It’s nice for our guys to come back and have people pulling for them.� he said.

The proposed cut in the route would save the bus drivers precious minutes since route 3 in general struggles to make it downtown on time.

Paul said people usually think his work is funny or his students are using this as an excuse to watch porn. “Whenever I tell people I am watching 10-plus videos of various porn a week, I get anything from uncomfortable laughter to ‘You must want sex all the time,’� Gross said.

Paul said he intends to finish the coding this semester and start analyzing the data during the summer.

Once he has finished his analysis, he plans to make the data public for anyone to use. “I know what I’m doing is not wrong,� Paul said. “But I do respect that some people are uncomfortable with it.�

Gina Weir, a parent of two children in school, said she wanted to attend the meeting to discuss other ways of changing the testing system in place, which she said often discriminates against children of a lower socio-economic status or children whose first language is not English.

She said a lot of money is being wasted on testing that could be spent on reducing class sizes so teachers can address the needs of all students.

She said the current system penalizes schools and teachers based on an inaccurate measure of learning.

Phillip Harris said two of the biggest myths in testing are that scores can be used to evaluate schools and teachers.

Phillip said teachers shouldn’t be held accountable for other people’s behavior. “Only in education do we expect teachers to be responsible for learning, when the learning is done by students,� he said.

BY CHRISTIAN KEMP | cjkemp@indiana.edu

Shaped with the spark-igniting blade of a grinder, forged by fire, perfected by hammer, what starts out as a sheet of metal becomes a knife.

Bloomington resident Zach Wagner repeats this process in his garage, which doubles as a workshop for his hobby.

As a child, Wagner idolized the macho depictions of blacksmiths he saw on TV cartoons. It eventually inspired him to take on the hobby of knife-making, he said. “(The blacksmith) was arguably a better swordsman or fighter than any of the other guys,” Wagner said. “He was just too old and haggard to do it right. He was still instrumental in making all those amazing stories happen.”

Wagner said he grew up in rural communities where knives were more functional than ornamental. They were tools.

Tools are instrumental to the trade itself, but tools for knife-making can be very expensive.

Wagner has invested in a TW-90 grinder. All attachments included, he estimated the machine has cost him about $10,000.

“A lot of this stuff is cobbled together from hand-me-down crap, but this is easily my largest investment so far,” Wagner said.

Wagner said he prefers to use 5160 alloy steel to make knives. However, while the quality of the steel may be important, so are the processes by which the blade is made. He said the heat treatment process is fundamental to the qual-

Alvin Ailey ensemble to perform

Grace Kelly-inspired film to feature her signature style

BY ALISON GRAHAM akgraham@indiana.edu @AlisonGraham218

The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater will perform at 8 p.m. today in the IU Auditorium.

Tickets start at $23 for students and $44 for the general public.

The auditorium brought Alvin Ailey to IU because of the company’s popularity, prestige and culturally relevant work accomplished all over the world, IU Auditorium Associate Director Maria Talbert said.

“They are one of the world’s most celebrated dance ensembles, and their live performances have been seen by over 23 million people,” Talbert said.

“Witnessing the Ailey company perform is considered by many to be an artistic ‘rite of passage,’ and we are thrilled to be able to give that opportunity to the IU and Bloomington communities.”

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater is a performing arts community that works to preserve AfricanAmerican heritage and celebrate other cultures as well, according to the group’s website.

The group grew out of a performance by a man named Alvin Ailey and a group of African-American dancers in New York City in 1958. Their performance revolutionized AfricanAmerican participation in

dance and transformed modern dance in general.

The group performs modern dance from a wide variety of influences including ballet, jazz, hip hop, lyrical and ballroom.

“It will at times be upbeat, fast-paced and lively, while others will be tender, gentle and endearing,” Talbert said. “Audience members often find they are so enraptured by the performances that they catch themselves holding their breath.”

This is especially true for the final dance of the program, “Revelations.”

Watching this piece can be

a transcendent experience, Talbert said.

“What I find so captivating about watching the Ailey company perform is their unique mix of stunning athleticism and deep, soulful spirituality,” Talbert said.

“Audiences can expect to be awed by the sheer physical power of these dancers, and moved by their ability to connect to each viewer on a deeply personal level.”

Talbert first saw the company perform when she was at Albion College, and it made an unforgettable impression on her, she said.

“Whether or not you have seen a professional

What Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater When 8 p.m., March 12 Where IU Auditorium Cost $23 for students, $44 for general public dance performance before, to watch anyone who is arguably the best in their field doing what has made them renowned is a unique and special experience,” Talbert said. “It’s like viewing the Mona Lisa, or watching Michael Jordan play basketball — if the chance presents itself to see it, you simply have to.”

Flip a coin between Hollywood starlet and French princess, and either way you have Grace Kelly. She’s the epitome of what every young lady aspires to be as a child and she did it all with grace.

She’s still who I aspire to be as a woman, not only for her poise and personality, but her timeless style. Costume designer Claire Chanat, a fashion icon, will recreate the lustrous wardrobe of the princess for director Olivier Dahan’s “Grace of Monaco.”

The film casts Nicole Kidman as the late Grace Kelly.

It’s a story that sounds like it should start with “once upon a time” and end with “happily ever after.” Born in Philadelphia in 1929, the young Kelly was an aspiring actress who started her career in New York and eventually moved to Hollywood to star in motion pictures.

She appeared in her first film at the age of 22, and by age 25 she received an Academy Award for Best Actress for her role as Georgie Elgin in “The Country Girl.” She accepted the award in an ice-green dress with long silk gloves. However, later that year, she would elect to leave the red carpet for a royal one, wearing a wedding gown by Helen Rose to marry Prince Rainier III of Monaco.

Though both dresses are

almost as remembered as her, Kelly’s wardrobe was also marked by luxuriously elegant attire but and by simple picks that are now considered classics.

Reemerging trends like oversized coats, boyfriend sweaters, collared patterned blouses and the short sleeve shift dress for spring were all her originals. She also was famous for skirts that gave the illusion of a tinier waist that we have revolutionized lately into something we call the skater skirt.

Kelly was dichotomous with the soft elegance of a French princess and the Hollywood pop of bright lipstick.

In “Grace of Monaco,” Chanat and assistant Fabienne Josserand will recreate their rendition of this beautifully historic mix.

The film will release in May in France for the Cannes Film Festival. Though the U.S. date has yet to be announced, this film will be one I’ll be following all the way to Oscar season.

Meanwhile, though you might not be in Monaco this break, enjoy embracing the Grace Kelly elegance that comes with the sunshine.

Happy spring.

$1 billion for perfect March Madness bracket

EDITORS: ANDY WITTRY, ALDEN WOODS & SAM BEISHUIZEN | SPORTS@IDSNEWS.COM

American billionaire Warren Buffett and Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert are staging their own March Madness bracket competition.

The odds of someone filling out a perfect

bracket are 1 in 9,223,372,036,854,775,808, and the two business moguls will reward such a feat with a $1 billion grand prize.

There will be 20 first prizes of $100,000 each for the top entries.

IU softball’s Olson continues family legacy When IU junior softball pitcher Lora Olson was growing up, softball was a family affair.

“I started playing when I was 5,” Olson said. “It really was a family thing.”

Both of Lora’s older sisters, Anna and Sara, were on softball teams and were constantly traveling for tournaments.

Olson said even if she wasn’t playing in a game, she was consistently around the sport because of them.

“I was always at a softball field with my family,” she said. “I couldn’t even tell you how many games I’ve seen in my life. Every weekend I was traveling throughout the country watching my sisters play, even if I didn’t have a game.”

Anna, the oldest of the three sisters, was a decorated player at Carl Sandburg High School in Orland Park, Ill., before attending IU. At the time, she graduated from high school with the program record for most RBIs

in a single season and was named Player of the Year by the Chicago Star.

During her junior year at IU, Anna was selected for the Big Ten All-Conference Academic Team.

Lora’s other sister, Sara, graduated with a decorated career at IU. She finished fifth on IU’s all-time home run list and sixth on the career list for RBIs. Sara was named to the Big Ten All-Conference team as a senior at first base, despite playing her first three seasons as pitcher.

Lora said her sisters coached her throughout the early part of her softball career.

“I never got to play with them because of our age difference,” Lora said. “Because of that, they both coached me. Since Sarah is a pitcher, it was cool to relate to someone in the house and get feedback right away. It was valuable to me and it really helped me grow as a player.”

Pitching and hitting techniques weren’t the only thing that Lora learned from her sisters.

She said their work ethic

and constant desire to succeed helped make her the player she is.

“The thing about softball is that you get what you put into it,” Lora said. “I got to learn that by seeing both of them work hard every single day.

Seeing them fight through trials and tribulations really helped shape the player and person that I am today.”

IU Coach Michelle Gardner, said Lora has a lot of similarities to Sara, including her competitive edge.

“They are both team-first players,” Gardner said. “Also, they both are extremely competitive.”

Though sibling rivalries sometimes form between athletes in the same family, Lora said they never experienced anything like that.

She said the only time they ever competed directly against each other was in hitting contests at a park close to their home.

“We would have competitions at parks and see who could hit the furthest,” she said. “That was about it. Unfortunately, I was usually the one who lost because I was the youngest.”

JONATHAN STREETMAN | IDS

Then-freshman Lora Olsen pitches the ball during a game against UIC on March 18, 2012, at the IU Softball Field.

Almost three years ago, Lora had no idea that she would attend college in Bloomington, like both of her sisters.

Lora originally committed to play for the University of Wisconsin.

“I committed to Wisconsin my junior year of high school,” she said. “Wisconsin is a great school. At that point in my life, I thought that was really what I wanted.”

Hoosiers hope for postseason bid after 18-12 campaign

BY SAM BEISHUIZEN sbeishui@indiana.edu @Sam_Beishuizen

The IU women’s basketball locker room was understandably glum after Michigan defeated IU 82-57 in the opening round of the Big Ten Tournament in Indianapolis.

On the biggest stage in Big Ten basketball, IU’s weaknesses were exploited. The Hoosiers never cut the deficit to single-digits in the second half and were bounced from the tournament.

IU Coach Curt Miller said after the game that he believed the Hoosiers played well enough this year to earn a postseason invite of some capacity. Beating Michigan would have helped the Hoosiers’ résumé for the Women’s National Invitation Tournament. If not, the Women’s Basketball Invitational is also an option, Miller said in recent weeks.

All will come to fruition after the NCAA Tournament bracket is announced and the Hoosiers learn their postseason fate March 24.

For now, all the Hoosiers (18-12, 5-11) can do is wait.

“I really believe we’re deserving with our RPI, and our

» LEGACY CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9 recruited Lora during her high school career, but he left Wisconsin nearly a week after being named coach.

The coaching changes led to Lora’s choice to reopen her recruitment.

“After the coaches left, I

18 wins,” Miller said. “And we’re going to prepare to receive a bid into the WNIT or WBI, and we’ll represent not only Indiana, but the Big Ten.” IU sits at No. 74 in the RPI. The Hoosiers’ 18 wins are the most the program has had since winning 21 games in 2008-09, the last time IU went to the WNIT. The Hoosiers swept through non-conference play, picking up notable wins against Xavier, Butler and Virginia Tech in the Big Ten/ACC challenge. IU was ranked No. 22 after defeating then-No. 22 Iowa at home and being one of the final four remaining undefeated teams in the nation.

But the success failed to continue much longer. IU struggled in the Big Ten, winning only five games and finishing in a tie for eighth place.

Miller put some of the blame on the weaker competition in the non-conference season for IU’s conference struggles. IU’s only game decided by a single possession came against Indiana State on Nov. 15. Only five of the non-conference games were decided by fewer than 10 points.

After a relatively unchallenged non-conference, Big Ten opponents were a wake-up call for IU. “We were really proud of our start,” Miller said. “It was the highest Indiana has ever been ranked in the history of the program. They can never take that away from us, but it did not set us up to have much adversity until midJanuary. And I’m not sure we always handled that or understood what was coming.”

IU’s struggles in the Big Ten conference carried to the Big Ten Tournament against Michigan. The Wolverines beat the Hoosiers on the boards and took advantage of extra possessions, while the Hoosier shooters went cold and inopportune turnovers spoiled IU’s hopes to advance past the first round of the conference tournament for the first time in five years.

The result was IU ending the season losing six of its last seven games against Big Ten opponents.

“It’s frustrating,” senior center Simone Deloach said.

“I just hope that the underclassmen understand how tough it is in the Big Ten and the Big Ten Tournament, and they can redeem themselves

next year and the year after that.”

Against Michigan, the Hoosiers looked more like the rebuilding team they are than a team that went undefeated in the non-conference.

They’re problems that IU couldn’t address now, Miller said. This team serves as a foundation, and he said he believed IU will only get better in the coming seasons.

“We’ve got to continue to recruit,” Miller said. “We believe our freshman class will form a strong foundation to build upon, but we’ve got to continue to get better and better players. We don’t have a top-100 player in our program at this point.”

But the upcoming years of recruits will not have a say in what happens in two weeks when tournament brackets are announced. Although the loss in the Big Ten stung IU initially, the Hoosiers exceeded expectations this season.

Players said they feel deserving of a tournament bid, but will need to wait and see if the selection committees feel the same. IU’s last appearance in the WNIT was in 2009, pulling out a win in the second round against Bowling Green which, at the time,

was coached by Miller.

For now, the Hoosiers will continue to practice and wait to hear if their names will be called.

“You just gotta keep getting better,” senior center

Sasha Chaplin said. “Take this game, you know, it’s a bad taste in our mouth, but take it and learn from our mistakes and keep fighting for another day.”

had to rethink my decision,” she said. “It was stressful. At that point, most players are committed and most teams have enough pitchers.”

She had scholarship offers from many schools including Georgia, Georgia Tech and Florida State.

Lora said though she seriously considered

attending Georgia Tech, Gardner recruited her — which led to her signing with the Hoosiers shortly before her senior year of high school.

“Throughout the time it took Wisconsin to find another coach, I began to consider other programs,” Lora said.

“Coach Gardner continued to recruit me heavily. At that

point, I realized that everything happens for a reason.”

Gardner said when Lora decided she would no longer attend Wisconsin, she knew Lora was the perfect fit for the program.

“When Wisconsin made the coaching change, Lora began to look at other options,” Gardner said. “It worked

perfectly for the program and for her to come here.”

Lora said though her sisters played for the program, they never tried to influence her decision.

“They never tried to persuade me,” she said. “I was just working hard and trying to be seen by as many programs as I could, and they

understood that. They really just wanted me to be happy.”

Despite Lora almost ending up at another Big Ten school, she said IU is the right place for her.

“I figured out that IU was where I really wanted to be,” she said. “I know I made the right decision.”

» FORGE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 ity of the blade.

If the blade is heated sporadically, or too often, it will become brittle and break easily.

Wagner pulled out a sword that had been improperly heattreated and showed the lack of flexibility in the blade.

“A properly heat-treated sword made out of 5160 should be able to bend pretty far,” Wagner said as he bent the sword, almost breaking it. “So, that means it was probably not even heat-treated at all to be that soft and flimsy.”

Stock removal, the removal of all steel irrelevant to the finished blade, as well as forging, or heating and hammering the blades into shape, are skills needed to make knives the way Wagner does.

In order to learn how to make knives, Wagner said he read books. He later honed his skill by taking a class in Washington, Ark., taught by the American Bladesmith Society.

Wagner’s dedication to making knives is demonstrated in his journey to the class.

After taking a Greyhound bus to Arkansas, he was left stranded on a cold night.

“They dropped me off at about 2:30 in the morning,” he said. “But the funny thing about that was that I needed to get to the next town over, and I had about 100 pounds of gear on me.”

Wagner said he trekked the approximately 15-mile distance from town to town. To keep warm, he eventually had to build a fire since it took him some time to find where the classes were located.

The mission of ABS Bladesmiths is to preserve the art of making blades through teaching, challenging and endorsing its students.

“It was like a for-real religious pilgrimage,” Wagner said.

Two factors play highly into all the tool-making Wagner has studied and crafted.

The function of the knives he makes is represented through the form. Essentially, the knives he makes are meant for effectiveness and use, not to be hung as gaudy, decorative wall ornaments.

PHOTOS BY HALEY WARD | IDS

Zach Wagner adjusts the blow torch while heating a piece of steel as a part of the forging process. Forging is the process of creating the shape of the blade by hammering and heating it, among other steps.

Zach Wagner heats the blade of a knife with a blow torch as a part of the heating process.

“The form should always come after the function,” Wagner said. “Otherwise, we would all walk around with straight razors in our pockets.”

Tyler Jenkins, an IU alumnus, is involved with the IU Martial Arts Program. He met Wagner about four years ago and later approached him to make a short sword.

“The blade length is about 19 inches,” Jenkins said. “It is a leaf-pattern blade. And the handle was something that he thought up and told me about.”

The handle Jenkins described has G10 inserted between two slabs of micarta.

Jenkins said micarta is a syn-

thetic compound that absorbs skin oils and is easier gripped when wet.

Since then, Jenkins and Wagner have discussed the possibility of Wagner making safer training knives for the IU Martial Arts Program.

“He has talked about making knives that would have the weight and feel of a real blade,” Jenkins said. “But you won’t get hurt, so you know it is going to be a lot safer.”

Having spent thousands of dollars on equipment for his forge, Wagner’s passion for knives has exceeded a simple garage hobby.

He now hopes to market his

knives by one day giving them to the people who will use them the most — chefs, martial artists and tradesmen.

“I am planning to turn it into a business,” Wagner said.

“I’ll have to take another loan to get some more equipment.

Then I should be ready to start taking orders from people.”

Wagner said he hopes to attain an anvil with a flat space for hammering within the month. Shipping expenses for an anvil can be quite expensive, he said, simply due to the weight.

The ability to make tools is only one of the things Wagner capitalized on as being neces-

sary for human survival.

Wagner’s philosophy on the importance of certain skills is three-pronged. He said that cooking, tool-making and martial arts have all been essential services people have learned to do over the years.

“It is a really important skill in my opinion to preserve the ability to make tools,” Wagner said. “And in the midst of learning how to do bladesmithing, you learn how to make a lot of different kinds of tools. A lot of stuff you use, you ultimately end up making yourself.”
