IU is in control of its own destiny.

After finishing the regular season with a 17-14 record and an eighth-place finish in the Big Ten, the Hoosiers only have one way to punch their ticket to the big dance — winning the Big Ten Tournament.

IU’s first-round matchup is against Illinois (18-13, 7-11) at noon today in Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. The Fighting Illini enter the tournament having won four of its past five games, including road victories against then-No. 18 Michigan State and then-No. 24 Iowa.

The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater gave its fourth performance since 1980 at the IU Auditorium last night.

Founded by choreographer Alvin Ailey in 1958, the theater consists of young African-American modern dancers.

Ailey’s goal was to revolutionize African-American participation in 20th-century concert dance, according to the group’s website.

“Revelations,” choreographed

by Ailey in 1960, is a performance based on his “blood memories” while growing up in Texas.

Throughout his career, Ailey was heavily influenced by traditional music and spirituals.

Alvin Ailey Choreographer and Rehearsal Director Matthew Rushing led a pre-performance discussion. Rushing said because the company was founded to be a repertory dance theater, Ailey “opened the floor to his peers, including different choreographers from around the world.”

“Revelations” represents this repertory, contains three separate performances the each elucidate a distinct style of dance.

Ailey composed 79 ballets during his lifetime. Throughout its history, the company has performed

Syrian-Americans share stories at panel event

BY ANNA HYZY akhyzy@indiana.edu @annakhyzy

Every morning, while traveling to her high school in Syria, Meera was not sure she would come home.

At home, she struggled to study without electricity, huddled by a single candle.

Every night, she sat awake, kept up by the sounds of gunfire.

“It all started three years ago,” she said.

“I was just a 10th grader being a slacker in school, just a normal life.

And next thing I know, there were tanks outside my house. There was shooting all night.”

Meera was lucky.

Bloomington police apprehended Eric Shorts, 47, in Marion County Tuesday, Bloomington Police Department Sgt. Steve Kellams said.

The Marion County Jail is holding Shorts for transfer to Monroe County Jail.

Shorts faces preliminary charges of robbery, a class C felony, and theft, a class D felony, with bond set at $20,000 surety and $1,000 cash.

Bloomington investigators discovered piles of cash on the floor and counter inside Marsh supermarket’s ONB on North Kinser Pike Monday morning. Surveillance footage revealed a black man in sunglasses and dreadlocks pulled behind his head demanding money from the teller.

Police recovered money in the parking lot with evidence that a dye pack had exploded, according to the press release.

With the assistance of FBI and Indianapolis police Tuesday, the BPD located Shorts on an outstanding traffic warrant.

Police found money with stains from the dye pack and clothing worn at the time of the robbery.

4 students crowned ‘princesses’

BY SANYA ALI siali@indiana.edu @siali13

Each year, more than 200 women from Indiana apply for the chance to participate in the 500 Festival Princess Program, an offshoot event of the Indianapolis 500. Of those, only 33 make the cut.

This year, four princesses are IU students.

Sophomores Madeline Blackwell and Emma Tiernon and seniors Brittany Ignas and Sydney West will serve as ambassadors at this year’s Indy 500.

As ambassadors, the girls volunteer at various programs throughout the month of May. They also participate in an outreach activity of their choice and take part in the Indy 500 Victory Circle celebration.

The 2014 princesses come from a variety of interests and backgrounds, ranging from human biology and journalism to contemporary dance and foreign languages.

Each of this year’s winners had their own motivations to become princesses, including a family legacy.

Blackwell’s childhood nanny, who Blackwell said

she greatly admired, was a princess. Watching this strong female role model in her life pursue this goal fostered the ambition within Blackwell.

Once her older sister became a princess, too, Blackwell said she was certain applying was a good idea.

“Watching my sister give back to the city, form lasting relationships with the other women and participate in all of the festival events that the state of Indiana is known for confirmed my aspiration to be a 500 Festival Princess,” Blackwell said.

For Tiernon, the Indy 500 was a family tradition. Becoming a princess seemed like a great next step.

“As long as I can remember, I have been going to the events and seeing the princesses,” Tiernon said. “As a child they were always a role model to me. Girls who represented themselves with poise, grace and confidence. Being of age now, I wanted the opportunity to be that role model for a little girl.”

The application process begins with an online portion including photographs, references and a questionnaire.

Cyber security expert to speak about privacy FROM IDS REPORTS

Shafi Goldwasser, winner of the Association for Computing Machinery’s A.M. Turing Award, will speak Friday at IU. Her lecture is part of the School of Informatics and Computing’s Distinguished Speaker Series.

Goldwasser is a professor of electrical engineering and computer science at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

An expert in the field of provable security — any type of security that can be proven — Goldwasser will speak on “The Cryptographic Lens.”

Chung-chieh “Ken” Shan, an assistant professor in the School of Informatics and Computing, said the lecture should appeal to anyone interested in how their private information is made accessible.

“As an elder in computer science once said, in computer science, a result after 10 years is either classic or incorrect. Goldwasser’s work is classic,” Shan said, according to a March 12 IU press release. “Everyone in the world depends on her work, and anyone who cares about how their medical, financial and other private information should be kept secret from governments, corporations and other individuals should

GOLDWASSER LECTURE 3 p.m. Friday, Lindley Hall come to her talk.”

The A.M. Turing Award, which Goldwasser received in 2012, is given for major contributions of lasting importance to computing.

It is the ACM’s most prestigious technical award. With the honor comes a cash prize of $250,000 underwritten by Intel Corporation and Google in recent years.

Goldwasser wont the Turing Award — considered the Nobel Prize for computing science — for her work in mathematics that makes modern cryptography possible. She received the award along with MIT’s Silvio Micali.

In addition to her most recent accolades, Goldwasser won the National Science Foundation Presidential Young Investigator Award.

She is also a recipient of the ACM Grace Murray Hopper Award for exceptional young computer professionals.

Goldwasser was awarded the Godel Prize twice. As well, she was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Science, the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering.

candidates go through a preliminary interview.

The top 66 advance to a second round.

The final 33 receive notification from director Kelby Hicks following the second interview.

Ignas said anticipation for the results felt endless, but she was ready to celebrate once she found out she was selected.

“I was sitting on the couch with my boyfriend, and once I got the email, I jumped off the couch and was so excited,” Ignas said.

“I called my family and they were screaming over the phone.”

Tiernon made a phone call too, but hers stretched a farther distance.

“I immediately FaceTimed my mom, who was in Russia,” Tiernon said.

“It was 3 a.m. her time and she had been waiting up all night to hear from me.”

Blackwell also reached out to her younger sister, who was in the midst of an intense competition when the news came through.

“I received the news I was selected to be a 2014 500 Festival Princess while I was in the stands watching my younger sister compete with her high school

dance team,” Blackwell said.

“I celebrated the news by cheering extra loud for my younger sister and her team who were about to perform, and calling my older sister immediately to let her know that we had another princess in the family.”

Tiernon said there’s no tough secret behind becoming a princess.

“Be yourself,” Tiernon said. “Cliché, but in the process, I could tell girls were really nervous and their true, awesome personalities were being hidden.”

Ignas said princess hopefuls must display confidence about previous accomplishments..

“During the interview, what they want to see is who you genuinely are,” Ignas said. “It’s good to show your personality and be proud of your accomplishments.”

Blackwell said she’s most excited to contribute to the Indy 500 in a different way than she has before.

“The festival has given me so many amazing memories over the years,” she said, “I’m excited to be able to give back and help other people make their own memories from festival events that they can always cherish.”

Strategic Plan seeks advising overhauls

BY KATHRINE SCHULZE schulzek@indiana.edu @KathrineSchulze

The Strategic Plan’s Undergraduate Life section includes an objective to ensure student success through high-quality and technologically advanced advising.

“We will adopt best practices and metrics for academic and career advising across our campus to support student completion, success and life and career goals,” Executive Vice President and Provost Lauren Robel said in the Strategic Plan.

Dennis Groth, interim vice provost for undergraduate education, said the advising department will expand their emphasis on best practices, training and professional development activities for its advisers.

“This helps us remain coordinated and adapt more seamlessly to new initiatives,” Groth said.

At the town hall meeting March 4, an academic adviser for undergraduates expressed the need for educating parents and students about the importance of a liberal arts degree.

“We have to provide them with a set of structures and ways into liberal arts education,” Robel said at the

meeting.

Concern was also expressed for the need of more resources and undergraduate advisers.

There are times when the advising staff isn’t enough for all students, Groth said.

“One of the challenges always with advising is that it has some times of the year where peak demands outpace available resources, and other parts of the year where the resource demands are less acute,” he said.

Groth said concerns about whether additional resources are needed to meet the Strategic Plan’s objectives will be addressed during the implementation stage.

The Student Success Collaborative, an analytics program, is already in place and provides a predictive model for advisers to see how students are progressing in a degree, Groth said.

The program shows if a student hasn’t taken a required class, taken a class by the recommended time or if they don’t have the grade they need in order to stay on track to graduate, he said.

“We have developed, are developing and are adopting new systems to support academic advising and student success,” Groth said.

Students and faculty with IU Soul Revue will spend their spring break helping musically gifted children in Memphis, Tenn., learn more about the art of performing.

The IU Soul Revue — a music ensemble that performs R&B, funk, soul and hip-hop — will teach workshops for the Stax Music Academy, Overton High School, LeMoyne-Owen College and the University of Memphis, according to a March 11 IU press release.

“It will be a great privilege and a wonderful opportunity for our students to visit and perform in a place where there is so much history,” Tyron Cooper, director of IU Soul Revue and assistant professor of African-American and African Diaspora Studies, said in the release.

The Soul Revue will also organize mock auditions for Stax Music Academy students and will perform March 21 at LeMoyne-Owen College.

The Stax Music Academy organizes after-school and summer programs for students in the Soulsville Charter School area, the release said.

Since 2000, the Stax Music Academy has given musically talented students training and direction, while also mentoring the importance of academic success, according to the release.

“The curriculum is rigorous and the students are high achievers,” Charles Sykes, executive director of the African American Arts Institute, said in the release.

The application process

is rigorous as well, Sykes said.

“We’d like to see some of these students come to IU, because we think they have the same musical orientation as many of our students,” he said.

The IU Alumni Association, Office of Enrollment Management, Office of Admissions and Office of Diversity, Equity and Multicultural Affairs are all involved with the spring break visit.

“While the Memphis tour will be an incredible opportunity for the IU Soul Revue to perform and learn about one of the most important cities in the development of soul music, it also will provide an opportunity for us to bring together alumni and to expose potential IU students to the wealth of talent and commitment to diversity here at IU-Bloomington,” James Wimbush, vice president for DEMA, said in the release.

The Soul Revue will also visit the National Civil Rights Museum, located on the site of the Lorraine Motel, where Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in 1968.

The trip will last from March 19-22.

“The key for me will be to get our students to understand the historical significance,” Cooper said.

“I’m looking forward to observing our students coming into the reality that they are in a mecca of soul music. I want them to know that they are part of that legacy. I hope that their visit to the Lorraine Motel touches them intrinsically.”

Historic district would pressure University

BY KATE STARR kastarr@indiana.edu

Accepted historic district near campus Although not binding, the proposed University Courts District is intended to discourage the University from demolishing buildings considered vital to the Bloomington area.

University Courts District 10TH STREET

Collins LLC

Kappa Alpha Theta

WOODLAWN AVENUE

University Courts in comparison to other districts, Hiestand said it, along with Elm Heights neighborhood, are the two most important districts.

Elizabeth Cox-Ash, a Bloomington local, said the ordinance is vital to the protection of the neighborhood and it is not only her wish, but the wish of the community to see it passed.

“The community wants this maintained, preserved and not torn down,” Cox-Ash said. “There are other places where the University could put a fraternity where they’re not tearing down some of its history as well as the community’s history.”

Brandt Downey, another Bloomington local, does not think the ordinance will do any good in stopping IU from moving forward with its original plan.

“We know that if IU wanted to take a bulldozer on Woodlawn and go west on that block tonight, they could,” Downey said. “You can’t stop them. This ordinance will not stop them from tearing down those houses.

“They will avoid it, they will ignore it and they will tear down those six houses and any other of those houses over there without any reference to this at all.”

Council Member Susan Sandberg said she is not under the illusion that the ordinance will persuade IU of anything.

INDIANA AVENUE

The Bloomington City Council unanimously passed an ordinance Wednesday establishing the University Courts Historic District, despite conflict with the IU Foundation.

IU previously announced plans to demolish six houses in the neighborhood to make room for the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, otherwise known as FIJI. The fraternity would exchange the land of the current FIJI house on Third Street for the neighborhood property.

The FIJIs would be responsible for raising money to build a new house on the property at the corner of Woodlawn Avenue and Eighth Street.

The ordinance passed Wednesday will not be binding for IU because the University is a state institution and is therfore not required to obtain a certificate of appropriateness from the city before demolishing property it owns in the neighborhood.

However, supporters of the ordinance hope the legislation will convince IU to reconsider its plans.

“I don’t think it’s a futile effort,” said Council Member Dave Rollo. “I’m hoping IU will consider what it’s doing.

They may ask themselves — I hope they do — what Herman Wells would do.”

At their last discussion

Feb. 26, the council recommended approval of the ordinance based on the neighborhood’s historic and architectural significance to Bloomington, according to a legislative packet.

The Bloomington Historic Preservation Commission recommended historic district status for University Courts because it exemplifies “the cultural, political, economic, social or historic heritage of the community,” according to the packet.

The commission also found the district was architecturally worthy of historic status based on a number of criteria including its location, style and display of an era of history.

During the meeting, Nancy Hiestand, program manager of Housing and Neighborhood Development, said the brick streets were already recognized as locally historic in 2004. She also said University Courts has been in the state register since 1992 and the national register since 2007.

The area includes 65 properties, 38 of which are owned

by IU, and one church. Eleven of these structures are outstanding, nine notable and 41 contributing. Council Member Martin Spechler said about 60 percent of the properties could be demolished

by IU if the university decided to do so.

When asked about the level of significance of

However, it may cause the university to rethink the fraternity house’s location.

She said the University will be under a lot of scrutiny from neighbors with noise and trash complaints.

Council Member Stephan

Volan suggested the FIJI house be built in place of the tennis courts across from the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority house.

“The decisions that IU makes, simply put, are arbitrary,” Volan said.

“If this event tonight, this legislation, has no other effect than to call attention to the arbitrariness of the decisions made by IU’s land use and planning, then it’s done more than we’ve done before.”

BHSN combats unprecedented student porn problem

BY HANNAH SMITH hannsmit@indiana.edu @hannsmit

Principal Jeffry Henderson learned of the explicit photos circulating throughout Bloomington High School North when one girl met with administration to discuss a conflict she was having with another student.

She had sent a nude photo to her boyfriend, and then, when they broke up, he showed it to a friend. Since then, at least 100 students have seen the photo, and her conflict was with one of them.

Police discovered 18 other students have sent explicit photos of themselves.

Henderson said in his nine years as principal, he has never seen an incident so widespread.

“Nothing to this extent at all,” he said.

Within a few days of alerting the administration, a case of a girl sending a sexy photo to her boyfriend turned into a massive investigation into child pornography. So far, it appears everyone involved was younger than 18 years old.

The section on child pornography in the Indiana Code has been amended three times in response to situations like this.

Because of the code, there are exemptions from child pornography when it comes to minors in dating relationships, contingent on certain relative ages. However, when a photo from a relationship is shown to a third party, it crosses the line into child pornography.

Aviva Orenstein, a professor in the Maurer School of Law, said the law might help persuade kids to be more

careful when it comes to sexual photos. Even if it’s not originally child pornography, it’s just one upload away from becoming that, she said.

“Once it’s out there, it can be sent anywhere,” she said.

“It could become child pornography when some goofy guy sends it to his friend, who then puts it on his Facebook page, and then that friend puts it on the Internet. And then you have a picture of a nude 14-year-old, and that’s not OK.” Orenstein said the original girl could also, in theory, be found in possession of child pornography for having a nude photo of herself, but it’s unlikely this would occur. Distribution is the area in which problems arise, in this case.

The Monroe County prosecutor has yet to determine whether charges will be filed against the students involved.

The office declined to comment because the case involves minors.

Capt. Joe Qualters of the Bloomington Police Department confirmed it’s too early to know whether the prosecutor will go forward with charges.

“There have been preliminary discussions with the prosecutor’s office about charges, but nothing has been determined since the case is still under investigation,” he said via email. “It is possible that the event will serve as an opportunity to educate students on the legal and social implications related to this type of activity.”

Qualters said if charges are pressed, possible charges could include child exploitation, intimidation and harassing communications. Child exploitation is considered a class C felony.

Low-income housing questioned in council

BY KATHRYN MOODY kammoody@indiana.edu

The Bloomington City Council had a second reading for the approval of a Habitat for Humanity neighborhood that has faced questioning by residents living near the planned construction.

Plans for the neighborhood place it in the northwest corner of Bloomington near Ernest D. Butler Park, commonly called Ninth Street Park. Council members, on behalf of residents, expressed concern about environmental safety and beauty as well as the quality of the planned homes and their effect on property values.

A third reading of the development plan will take place March 26.

Council members asked about the results of environmental studies of PCBs — an environmentally degrading chemical — in the planned area’s soil. Habitat for Humanity of Monroe County CEO Kerry Thomson firmly said the areas planned for construction were clear of contamination.

“We have tested. There are no PCBs on site,” Thomson said. “It is clean to the standards for residential inhabitants.”

Two sites, including under the railroad ties and

foundations, were not yet tested but those were not areas where people would be living, she said.

Other residents were concerned about how the new development would affect the view and experience on the B-line Trail. One resident during public comment called that area of the trail an “island of beauty” that deserved to be somehow preserved, even as the development progressed.

“Part of the enjoyment of the woods is walking the Bline and enjoying the wooded atmosphere,” Thomson said.

“The woods won’t be fenced or anything, so people can still enjoy them if they wish.”

Demographics of the incoming homeowners were also discussed. Some residents said they felt low income people were more prone to move around, and were concerned about potential affects to schools in the area.

Habitat for Humanity families are a spectrum of ages and backgrounds, Thomson said, but overall the homeowners would move in and stay in their new homes.

“It’s our dream to end poverty for these families,” she said. “When you don’t have to think about moving, you can get involved in your community, lead scout troops, get promotions and lead a better life.”

This is not a problem exclusive to BHSN. Qualters said they have received reports from area middle schools in the past as well.

Across the country, minors have been put on trial and charged as sex offenders for sexting scandals such as this.

If any adolescent is labeled a sex offender, it’s a label that he or she most likely carries for life, just like any other sex offender.

“I would describe it as a problem for teenagers across the country,” Henderson said.

In the weeks leading up to the investigation, Henderson said BHSN released a video to parents Jan. 17 about how to teach technological privacy and safety to avoid situations like this. It was produced in conjunction with the prosecutor’s office and the Monroe County School System.

On Feb. 3 — weeks before

the investigation began Feb. 25 — the school also invited panelists to discuss these issues in depth with parents of students.

“Obviously, this (incident) then causes us to take pause and redouble our efforts,” Henderson said.

Parents have been informed of the investigation through a letter from BHSN. Henderson also said a significant number of parents met with the detective.

Though the issue of teens taking explicit photos can spark much debate, Orenstein said she thinks it’s more of a cultural problem than a law problem. She said students need to understand the laws are intended to protect them.

“The line from when it turns from dating behavior to something sinister, it can happen in a nanosecond,” she said.

DANE IN REAL LIFE

ZIPPER UNZIPPED

We’re all slaves to Facebook

What the hey, FDA? RILEY ZIPPER is a sophomore majoring in English.

DANE MCDONALD is a senior majoring in journalism.

I was having a really bad week, so instead of dying my hair or getting an impulsive tattoo, I decided to deactivate my Facebook.

It seemed like a major life change, which is a little sad in and of itself, but that’s what I did.

What surprised me was, not even 24 hours later, I felt amazing. I felt more liberated than I had been in ages. All from deactivating this website to which I’ve been a slave for seven some odd years.

This whole idea of connection we feel Facebook instills in us is bullshit.

Facebook doesn’t connect you to anyone. Facebook is a device in which you subject yourself to everyone else’s extreme narcissism, or promote your own individual brand of narcissism.

I’m not trying to halt technological progression.

I’m not going to turn to the past and start hand-writing letters sent by carrier pigeon or burning mixtape cassettes for my friends.

I just feel like maybe everyone would benefit from a little break with Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or whatever seems to be the digital poison in your life.

If you’re in the same room as somebody, there really isn’t a sound reason to let your thumb autopilot to your Facebook app.

You can give that person some respect and hold a conversation with them.

Unless that person really sucks, in which case maybe you should leave the room and then check your Facebook.

I should be frank. I didn’t stop checking my Twitter or Instagram feed while my Facebook was deactivated. I still texted people and maybe used my phone for a call or two.

So no, I didn’t completely cut out social media and electronic interaction like the cancer they’ve grown to be in so many of us.

But I really wish I could.

I wish I could do like Andy Sachs does at the end of “The Devil Wears Prada” and throw my phone into a majestic, Parisian fountain, strutting away in designer haute couture.

The sad fact is, whether you like it or not, it’s not easy to make it in a world without your quirky web presence. I can’t fathom all the parties I don’t know about or the various BuzzFeed quiz results I had to live without in my Facebook-less week.

Which is why no good thing lasts forever.

I was seduced back by the sultry Facebook temptress when it came time for my weekly column — this column — to be published.

“But how will people read about what I deem is important?” I thought.

“How will my 1,268 Facebook friends know exactly what I’m thinking about?”

I’m not proud to be back on Facebook. But I’m trying to use it a little less, and I’m making myself aware of how much I let it dominate my life.

I’m not going to tell you deactivate or, God forbid, delete your whole online presence. Just remember, the next time you’re feeling overwhelmed or out of control, obliterating an unnecessary online world is just a few clicks away. wdmcdona@indiana.edu @thedevilwearsdm

Turning IUSA into a PLUS The field is wide open for PLUS for IUSA, the only ticket still running for the executive office of the IU Student Association.

There are those who argue the de facto inheritance of IUSA administrations represents a strong knowledge of the system and a willingness to serve the student body on the part of the executive ticket. But when the student body is given no alternative, that argument rings hollow.

Others say the fact no other tickets choose to form to contend for the office means those we have must be doing a good job. If no one wants to stand against them, they must deserve the office.

That argument would be more understandable, even convincing, if these tickets weren’t the architects and beneficiaries of the process governing their own selection.

We all admit knowledge of processes and contacts within the system is one of the key elements for success. It’s why consulting is a profession. It’s why most of us have LinkedIn accounts.

When you have the information on the inside, and you

know the people who control the channels of that information, it’s much easier to get what you want.

A ticket formed from within the current administration is obviously privy to all the information one could want about how to form an effective ticket long before that information is available to the public.

This isn’t some abstract idea either, it produces real problems. UNIFY IU, the ticket that originally opposed PLUS, dropped out largely because it felt it had no chance against PLUS — a ticket that had the resources and knowledge to begin planning for this election a year ago.

This isn’t necessarily a reason to reject the hand-picked successors of our current administration every year, but it certainly isn’t a reason to elect them.

Whether you’re a freshman, sophomore, junior or senior, your executive student government has essentially been in the hands of the same group of people throughout the entire time you’ve attended this University.

The office of student body president went to Michael

Coleman in 2010, then Justin Kingsolver in 2011 and Kyle Straub in 2012, finally passing to Jose Mitjavila in 2013.

Should PLUS for IUSA succeed in its campaign, it will be the fifth consecutive administration formed largely from the ranks of its predecessors.

Election reform is necessary to level the playing field.

First, the Graduate and Professional Student Association, the representative body for graduate students, requires candidates running unopposed for its executive council to gain a significant portion of support from the student population before being declared the winner. A similar policy is necessary for IUSA. Second, the current voting structure, where students vote electronically — many of them at open-air voting stations around campus staffed by volunteers from the competing tickets — amounts to an open ballot. IUSA should take steps to reform this process and ensure a true, secret ballot for its constituents.

Finally, the current system of overseeing elections provides too many systematic advantages to members of

the incumbent administration.

The election commission should be entirely separated from the executive administration and placed directly under the control of the IU Supreme Court.

IUSC justices, although appointed by the president of IUSA, serve terms three times as long. The court is comprised of 11 individuals as opposed to one. They would hopefully be more equitable in distributing information about elections and implementing other reforms.

PLUS for IUSA has a duty to incorporate all of these reforms into its platform because it will better serve the student body. If PLUS for IUSA really is the best choice for students, it should have nothing to fear from a more open, equitable and competitive election process. drlreed@indiana.edu @D_L_Reed

IT’S ALWAYS SUNNY

Welfare hasn’t been thought through The new welfare law allowing random drug testing is a step in the right direction, even if it hasn’t totally been thought through.

Yes, it is harsh. It is prowar-on-drugs, which in and of itself has many problems.

I can tell you now it will most definitely need modification.

But here’s the issue — drug addicts have a different kind of need than people who need basic government assistance. And we haven’t made sure we have the resources in place to deal with an addict’s needs.

Enacting these harsh laws was probably not the smartest idea without work done to make sure we are actually treating drug addiction, not just condemning it.

They need to be directed to rehab programs, doctors or some institution that would be able to help them.

Drug testing people and then

cutting them off entirely if they are found to still have an addiction would only increase the problem. Plus, it sounds like something out of a Charles Dickens novel.

Singling out people with a past, or people who have been to rehab, reeks of discrimination and could easily be the reason the law is demolished.

It also would allow addicts who have not been caught to slip through the cracks.

We must separate the two entirely. If people are found to be using drugs and receiving welfare, the nature of the assistance given to them needs to change. We have done nothing to either create assistance or strengthen already existing programs.

These new laws do some good, though.

They recognize that if people are found to be on drugs,

quite simply, they can no longer be trusted to provide for themselves or their families, if they have them. It is a recognition that, in giving them welfare, the government inadvertently fuels a dangerous lifestyle.

But for the government to actually be able to reach the families and children in need, and to address some serious corruption in and exploitation of government assistance, it is exactly what the system needs.

Private staffing agencies and job sites need to test all applicants for drugs. Those who test positively are told to come back in a year. It would be more beneficial to say everyone who receives welfare must be drug tested.

We can’t cut them off, either.

We need to set a limit to the amount of times someone can test positively —

a three-chances system, or something similar.

We also shouldn’t test randomly.

It should be while people are applying, and then if they pass we don’t worry about it. Let them have their assistance.

For those who test positively, we need to have steps and systems in place to help them.

In short, the new law is far from perfect. It will need to be processed, there will be trials and there will be errors.

But it’s a step in the right direction.

Late February, a new drug known as Zohydro was approved by the FDA and is expected to hit the market later this month.

Zohydro is a hydrocodone bitartrate, also known as an opiod. You’ve probably taken it in the form of Lortab, Norco, Vicodin, etc., if you’ve had, say, wisdom tooth surgery.

But there’s a key difference in Zohydro that distinguishes it from those other drugs — the absence of acetaminophen, also known as Tylenol.

This is important because acetaminophen in these combination opiods allows for less hydrocodone to be present in the pill and, most importantly, discourages abuse. Acetaminophen will ruin your liver if taken in high doses over an extended period of time.

If you’ve taken any opiod, you also probably know that the effects feel pretty damn good. This causes abuse, and dependence can occur rather rapidly.

The approval of Zohydro by the FDA concerns critics in the medical field.

Zohydro is an extended-release capsule that can be up to 10 times as potent as Vicodin and those other drugs. The capsules are meant to deliver aroundthe-clock relief like OxyContin.

But what has everyone most worried is the capsule can be easily crushed for insufflation, unlike OxyContin. The highest dose of Zohydro is 50 milligrams, five to 10 times as potent as Vicodin, which contains five milligrams of hydrocodone and 325 milligrams of acetaminophen.

Crushing up one capsule and getting 50 milligrams of hydrocodone at one time will, for lack of a better phrase, knock you on your ass.

This will, of course, cause every junkie in the country to line up for a taste. Inevitably, many will overdose.

And, sure, maybe you don’t care about junkies.

But hopefully you care about children.

“This is now putting a new drug on the market where one pill could kill a child,” said Dr. Jim Keany of St. Joseph’s Hospital in Orange County, Calif.

In the past 15 years, prescriptions for opiod painkillers have skyrocketed.

This increase in prescriptions has caused an equally-as-huge increase in overdoses.

In the same time period, opiod overdose deaths increased by 415 percent in women and 265 percent in men.

Doctors are overprescribing painkillers, simple as that.

Contrary to popular belief, most abusers don’t get these drugs from dealers. A recent government study revealed that as low as 15 percent of opiod abusers actually purchase them from dealers.

According to the study, about 25 percent of abusers doctor shop, meaning they hunt down multiple doctors to write prescriptions. Another 25 percent get the pills for free from friends and family.

So the fact of the matter is: we don’t need another opiod painkiller on the market.

Especially one with the potential, rather, the inevitability, to be as dangerous as Zohydro. ziperr@indiana.edu

HOOPS WITH HOOP

IU looks to slow Illinois’ Rice On the road against the Michigan Wolverines March 8, the IU men’s basketball team did everything it could to win.

The Hoosiers hit shots, shooting more than 50 percent for the game. Trailing in the second half, IU went on a late scoring run to tie the game at 75 with one minute and 25 seconds remaining.

After IU tied the game, sophomore guard Nik Stauskas drove to the lane and swung a pass to fellow sophomore guard Glenn Robinson III. Wide open in the corner, Robinson III pulled up and hit the shot that gave the Wolverines a 78-75 lead with one minute and eight seconds to play.

That basket gave Robinson III 13 points for the half, and he finished with 20 for the game.

Likewise, Stauskas also tore up the Hoosiers, finishing with 21 points, 14 of which came in the second half.

The pair combined to score 27 of Michigan’s 48 second-half points.

IU Coach Tom Crean said his team has struggled to limit bigger wing players in conference play.

“That’s been the one type of player this year that we’ve struggled with maybe more than any other type of player, is that bigger wing that is really strong and powerful and can get to the rim,” Crean said.

At noon today, IU will face a wing player that has

given it fits this season.

Junior guard Rayvonte Rice has scored 49 points during two games against the Hoosiers this season.

Rice scored 20 points during his team’s 56-46 loss to IU on Jan. 26.

Rice is listed at 6-foot-4 and 235 pounds, a player who uses his quickness to get by forwards and his strength to finish against guards.

Senior wing Will Sheehey said the Hoosiers must limit Rice’s touches.

“Obviously he’s a great scorer,” Sheehey said.

“He can shoot the ball, he drives it well, he’s a strong kid. So we’ve got to make sure we limit his touches.”

Nebraska’s Terran Petteway and Michigan State’s Gary Harris are other Big Ten foes that fit Crean’s description of a bigger wing player that have found success against the Hoosiers.

In two games against IU, Harris scored a combined 50 points. He also scored his career-high 26 points Jan. 4 in Assembly Hall.

Petteway averaged 15.5 points per game in two contests against the Hoosiers. Michigan State and Nebraska went a combined 4-0 against IU this season.

For the season, Rice has averaged 15.7 points per game. He is shooting 41.9 percent from the floor and 31.2 percent from 3-point range.

The No. 59 IU men’s tennis team will try to reverse its fortunes against No. 32 Louisville Thursday.

IU (8-8) has lost four consecutive matches against ranked opponents.

IU Coach Randy Bloemendaal said he still believes in his team’s postseason chances, saying the Hoosiers are one of the best teams in the country in terms of physical ability and mental understanding of the game.

However, IU lacks the emotional strength that propels teams toward the NCAA tournament, Bloemendaal said.

“Emotionally, we’re not good enough yet,” Bloemendaal said. “When we start bridging that gap to what we need to do emotionally, it’s going to be a lot of fun.“ The Hoosiers showed their lack of experience

Sunday when they fell 6-1 to Northwestern, a team to which Bloemendaal said IU is clearly superior.

“As a coach, you almost feel handcuffed at those times, when your player gets that locked up,” Bloemendaal said. “There’s no subs, there’s no magic words.”

Bloemendaal said Sunday was a prime example of the Hoosiers’ emotional immaturity.

After the match against Northwestern the team had what Bloemendaal called a “heart to heart.” Without any prompting from the coaching staff, they talked at length about how frustrating it is to lose to teams they know they can beat. Bloemendaal said this was encouraging to him.

“I’m not facilitating that, I’m just hearing about it on the back end,” Bloemendaal said. “But if that’s going on at that level, get ready, because these guys are getting ready to take off.”

The Hoosiers will have

the opportunity to “take off ” against the Louisville team that beat Northwestern 5-2, and Bloemendaal said he remains optimistic.

The Hoosiers will need to focus their emotions when playing Louisville to fend off what will be a strong Cardinal effort at the bottom of the lineup, Bloemendaal said.

Above all else, Bloemendaal said the Hoosiers must remain calm not only against Louisville, but throughout the rest of the season.

“We still could do the things we need to do rankings-wise,” Bloemendaal said. “But if you hit the panic button and get too emotional, you’re not going to make great decisions on the court.”

Column: IU will squeak one out Illinois and IU played one of the best games of their respective seasons on Dec. 31.

Illinois squeaked out the win in overtime 83-80, though IU had several chances to win the game.

The Hoosiers shot 41 percent compared to the Illini’s 45 percent. IU, in an eerie foreshadowing of things to come, had 23 turnovers compared to Illinois’ 10.

IU lost, but Hoosier nation was feeling good about hanging tough despite a minus-13 turnover margin. My column title was even, “IU’s loss to Illinois is an encouraging one.”

Fast forward 17 Big Ten games and the conference opener against Illinois would serve as a prelude of what to expect for the rest of the season: a frustrating mix of talent and inconsistency.

IU (17-14, 7-11), the No. 8 seed, will face the No. 9 seed, Illinois (18-13, 7-11), in the first round of the Big Ten tournament in Bankers Life Fieldhouse at noon.

IU, despite knocking off four ranked opponents, finished the year 7-11 in the Big Ten. Illinois also finished the year 7-11 but took a different journey. They had an eight game losing streak earlier in the season but have bounced back to win four of their last five.

And the teams Illinois has beaten lately aren’t scrubs.

They’ve knocked off Minnesota, Nebraska, Michigan State and Iowa. Its only loss in the last five games was to Big Ten champion Michigan.

Illinois’ strength is their defense. They rank third in

the Big Ten in defensive efficiency according to kenpom. com. They also rank second in the Big Ten in steal percentage and forcing turnovers.

In case you hadn’t noticed, IU has had some trouble holding onto the ball this year. They turn the ball over on 21.9 percent of their possessions in Big Ten play, the worst figure in the conference.

So IU has a lot of turnovers, and Illinois is really good at forcing turnovers. This could spell disaster for the Hoosiers.

The Illini’s offense has been woeful, though. In Big Ten play they average 60 points a game. Only Northwestern has a worse offense. And Illinois has shot 38.1 percent in conference play.

Woof.

It has been 72 days since that Big Ten opener where both teams scored in the 80s.

That won’t happen again.

Expect a grind-it-out type of affair. First one to 60 wins.

IU squeaks by the Illini, and moves onto play Michigan on Friday. It won’t be pretty, but Illinois’ offense isn’t good enough to score enough points on the Hoosiers. Although IU might have 20-plus turnovers, Hoosier Nation will celebrate in Indianapolis.

Prediction: IU 62, Illinois 58 Evan Hoopfer is 13-8 in predictions this year.

“While we expect some level of misbehavior in a small criminal sector of society that has little respect for the law, we certainly don’t expect it from our officials and government executives in whom we’ve placed our trust to uphold those laws and who reinforce the rules,” FBI Special Agent in Charge Bob Jones said.

Wykoff, Roger Hardin, 51, and his son Zachary Hardin, 25, were arrested Wednesday morning by federal agents in Bedford, Ind. All three will face charges of conspiracy to commit a federal crime.

On Feb. 20, a city employee told police that Reliable Concrete Construction did not perform any work for a contracted job with Milestone, a construction company, according to court documents.

Milestone performed all the construction for the work listed on the invoices in question at the time.

The U.S. Attorney office alleges Wykoff created fraudulent invoices for city project works never performed or work performed by other subcontractors.

Bloomington Chief Mike Diekhoff said additional charges at the state level might be filed.

Steven DeBrota, senior litigation counsel for the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the southern Indiana district, said the Hardins would receive payment for the projects and give Wykoff a one third refund of the payment.

Upon further investigation Hogsett said he expects the amount of money stolen to “go north” of $800,000.

On Feb. 25, a Milestone employee confirmed at least 11 different invoices related to work on Rogers Street. Milestone did all the work, with no contribution from RCC,

A former city project manager and two co-conspirators allegedly embezzled more than $800,000 from the City of Bloomington since May 2011.

according to court documents.

The co-conspirators, owners of RCC, sent the false invoices to the City for payment to RCC for projects on Rogers Street and College Avenue, as well as several other sites where curbing, sidewalks and drainage work was supposed to be completed.

“Public corruption, wherever it occurs, in whatever community throughout the southern district of Indiana, degrades all of us,” Hogsett said. “That is why the United States Attorney’s office, along with our federal partners at the Federal Bureau of Investigation, have prioritized the investigation and prosecution of public corruption cases for the last two years.”

DeBrota called Wykoff and Hardins’ double billing of the city a “classic fraud scheme.”

Wykoff approved fraudulent invoices at least 24 times throughout a two and half year period, with the Hardins giving him 33 percent of each invoice as payment for his approval.

DeBrota said Wykoff ’s position of trust is why he was able to get away with it for so long.

Roger said RCC was set

up after he went to prison in 2011, according to court documents. Zachary said when Roger went to prison he was to contact Wykoff for work. He said Wykoff took care of all the invoices, proposals and estimates for the jobs.

Zachary deposited the checks into RCC’s bank account and made cash withdraws of less than $10,000 to not draw attention to himself, according to court documents.

The city hired Wykoff in 1991 as a project inspector.

He maintained this position until 1999 when he was promoted to deputy assistant city engineer.

In 2012 he was demoted to senior project manager with February 2014 marking the end of his employment.

Wykoff faces 10 years imprisonment for each count of embezzlement and the Hardins face five, DeBrota said.

“There is no acceptable level of corruption or the abuse of power here in Bloomington or anywhere else in the state,” Jones said. “This year the FBI created a new public corruption unit that will conduct more focused efforts on these violations, and today’s arrest is a product of this endeavor.”

“I don’t think there’s any question that they are playing with excellent confidence,” Crean said, adding that the Illini are playing with tremendous energy and at a high level on defense. “We’re going to have our work cut out for us at any point in time with anybody in this league. But certainly going into this game, we have great respect for what they are doing and how they are progressing.”

IU Auditorium Associate Director Maria Talbert said the reason they keep bringing the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater back to Bloomington is because of their repertoire and artistry.

Talbert first saw the company in college.

“It was one of the most memorable artistic experiences I’ve ever had,” she said.

Bloomington resident Pat

Williams, who has seen Alvin Ailey perform at least three times, couldn’t agree more.

Williams’ late husband was a musician — a pianist.

The two of them would attend IU Auditorium performances on a regular basis because “it was important for us to support the arts.”

When she first saw the company perform, she knew she would return, for the quality of the performances was outstanding, she said.

He moved seniors Jon Ekey and Joseph Bertrand to the bench. Freshmen Kendrick Nunn and Malcolm Hill were promoted to the Illini’s starting five.

Illinois finished 5-3 down the stretch in conference play, and Nunn has been a catalyst in his new role.

He scored 95 points during the team’s first 23 games of the season. The 6-foot-3 guard poured in a seasonhigh 19 points against the Nittany Lions and has averaged 12.1 points per game since becoming a starter.

“Kendrick Nunn, with more minutes, provides just a little bit more explosiveness to their game that creates things for other people,” Crean said. “The way he plays is he is a very, very high-energy type of player and a lot of similarities, in my mind, to Victor Oladipo.”

While Nunn is a key contributor, he is just one of Illinois’ weapons.

Redshirt junior Rayvonte Rice scored 49 points in his two games against IU

this season.

Crean said the Hoosiers have to improve their defense against Rice in Indianapolis.

“We have to do a much better job against him, but at the same time, they put 3-point shooters on the court,” he said. “They are playing some young guys now that have the benefit of playing with the older guys, the fifth-year guys or the fourth-year guys who have been through it, and they’ve been able to blend in.”

The winner of Thursday’s game gets the opportunity to face Michigan, the Big Ten regular season champion, on Friday.

However, IU remains focused on the next game on its schedule. Crean said the Hoosiers have to be locked in to what’s in front of them.

“The most important thing is that you don’t ever look ahead,” he said. “It doesn’t really matter what team you have going in.

She said she hoped the event would make students more aware of the humanitarian issues associated with the war, including the effect it has had on children.

“Kids aren’t going to school, and that’s going to really affect the entire next generation of Syrians,” she said.

The United Nations estimates more than 100,000 lives have been lost in the conflict.

Syria has lost more than 35 years of development, with more than 50 percent of the population living in poverty.

“This really is the humanitarian crisis of our time,” Metallic said.

It was for this reason that Laura Schulte, sophomore and topics director for Union Board, chose to work with Oxfam on the event.

She said she felt people have stopped paying due attention to the war in Syria.

“As the conflict has continued and continued and continued, it has lost motivation in the media,” she said.

Safi still has family in Syria.

In October 2012, she said she received a call from her mother telling her that her aunt had picked up her cousin’s body. He was dead and had been tortured to death.

“When you hear these numbers, think about the lives affected,” Safi said.

KICKSTARTING

some cult classics Last spring, “Veronica Mars” creator Rob Thomas and star Kristen Bell came together to launch a Kickstarter campaign that went on to raise more than $5 million to produce a feature film. As the movie hits theaters and video-on-demand Friday, Weekend imagines some other Kickstarter campaigns we’d love to fund.

BY DANE MCDONALD | wdmcdona@indiana.edu

Keeping Jessica Lange on American Horror Story It’s the worst news since ever. After the upcoming fourth season of “American Horror Story,” Jessica Lange will seaso depart the horror anthology series for good. But Lange is depar actress after all. If we could Kickstart a few more zeros an act her paycheck, maybe we could convince the two-time on he Oscar winner to stick around a few more seasons.

Sex and the City 3 The la last time we saw Carrie and Co., they were laying waste to the cultural customs and norms of Abu Dhabi. So yeah, “Sex aand the City 2” was a real piece of trash. But that isn’t to say we don’t want to see Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte Miranda strutting down Park Avenue in $500 Manolo and M Blahnik heels one more time. “Sex and the City 3” could Blahn make up for the first sequel, and then we could pretend like it never happened.

Firefly is basically a god when it comes to cult Joss Whedon W culture, so it’s shocking there hasn’t been a continuation cultur of his short-lived Fox series “Firefly.” Yeah, we got the movie “Serenity,” but the adventures of Captain Mal Reynolds work better in a serialized TV format. Plus, we’d Reyno anything as long as Nathan Fillion’s dashing face is on pay an screen. screen

My So-Called Life The ABC series that aired from 1994 from 1995 was named one of the best TV series of all time by Time magazine.

So why did it only last one season? We have no freaking clue. Watching young Claire Danes (left) and Jared Leto fall in antsy ’90s love defined an era. Now that Danes is an Emmy-winner twice over for “Homeland” and Leto is an Oscar-winner, we can’t think of a better time to check in on Angela Chase and Jordan Catalano.

Snakes on a Plane 2 In 2006, Internet fandom flew to dizzying heights with anticipation for the Samuel L. Jackson “Snakes on a Plane.” The plot and title were simple and to the point, ripe with the promise of B-movie kills and thrills. But box office numbers weren’t spectacular, and interest in the film waned quickly. Those of us who saw it know how awesomely bad it is, and we can’t but want some more motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane.

Wet Hot American Summer 2 If you haven’t seen “Wet Home American Summer,” stop reading this and don’t come back until you’ve seen it. It’s a raunchy, ridiculous story of a bunch of horny counselors at a summer camp in the 1980s. But we really just want a sequel to reunite the pitch perfect cast, which included Paul Rudd, Elizabeth Banks, Amy Poehler and Bradley Cooper. Name the price, and we’ll pay it to get those hooligans back together.

‘300’ violent and mesmerizing

MCT CAMPUS

‘Mastermind’ Rick Ross C Everybody has that family member you like but only in moderation. You go to grandma’s house, and Cousin Joe is there, and you’re happy to see him. You play video games and complain about the same drunk uncle together.

But then he starts to be annoying. He makes fun of your favorite band and makes a weird

comment about gay rights. By the end of the day, you’re glad to be rid of him.

Rick Ross is like that cousin.

He hasn’t been around in a while.

In 2012, he released the “Rich Forever” mixtape. That was one of the best mixtapes in recent memory.

But his album “God Forgives, I Don’t” was a major disappointment later that year, especially after how good his 2010 album, “Teflon Don,” was.

“Mastermind” starts out well.

Opener “Rich as Gangsta” and “Drug Dealer’s Dream” are straight up mafioso rap songs like few

do better than Rozay. The heavy boom-bap beats complement Ross’s powerful delivery.

Lead single “The Devil Is A Lie” features a great beat with horns and wailing vocals. A not-completely disappointing Jay-Z feature makes it one of the album’s finest tracks.

“Mafia Music III” takes cues from “Yeezus” with its features of Jamaican dancehall artists Sizzla and Mavado. The sleek, guitar-driven beat sounds like it shouldn’t be working as well as it somehow does.

And the Mike WiLL Made Itproduced “War Ready” should be

way too long. But Ross and Jeezy help the track breeze through its seven minutes. It’s appropriately out of control.

But then the album comes to a screeching halt. Ross should have featured someone to do the hook on “Blk & Wht,” because he sounds awful on it.

He follows that up with one of the laziest, most unnecessary hip hop skits ever. Then the Weeknd comes in on “In Vein” and puts to sleep anyone who hadn’t already nodded off.

Ross is at his best when he does energetic, straightforward party bangers. When he tries to

‘300: Rise of an Empire’ Sullivan Stapleton, Eva Green, Lena Headey B Muscled men, beautiful women, blood-spilling and thrilling battles. “300: Rise of an Empire” director Noam Murro offers you the chance to hit “Control+A” and select all in this sequel to “300.”

Murro punctures the stereotypical characterization of a gorgeous woman in war.

Eva Green, who plays the role of Artimesia, serves more as a mellow intoxicant than merely eye candy. She is Persia’s ultimate weapon against Greek warriors, not in the way a man would usually come up with, but as a resolute commander of the Persian navy. She suffered a painful childhood as Greeks pillaged her family, so she can’t wait to taste the sweetness of revenge.

After years of training from a Persian mentor, she looks like Venus but kills like Lucifer. Thus, the female commander embarks on several marvelous battles against the Greek general Themistokles, played by Sullivan Stapleton.

Their chemistry is catalyzed in their frenemy relationship. As leaders of hostile forces, their collision is stilted, terse and bare, like the syncopated sparks of sharpening knives. Beyond the glint and flash of cold steel, Artimesia offered the sugary persuasion leavened by her seductiveness.

Themistokles turns her down,

do a soulful slow jam, he rarely succeeds.

The exception to that rule is the next track on the album. The Kanye West and DJ Mustard-produced “Sanctified”proves the second half of “Mastermind” isn’t all bad.

A nasty synth bassline counters the soul vocal sample, and it’s a beat that is immediately recognizable as Kanye. He and Big Sean contribute good verses.

It’s probably not Kanye’s best effort, but even a bad track from him is enough to be the best song by a mile on the second half of “Mastermind.” Ross seems to have

“For the glory of Greece!”

Murro seems to have violence aesthetics in his genes. The fighting scenes are rough and raw, yet poetic and mesmerizing. His cinematography will elicit the audience’s astonishment at the intimate connection he builds between immaculate violence and the brisk rhythm. The imagery condenses every parcel of dust and every drop of blood to make the amorphous visible and sensible via fluent cuts.

Murro smooths his film with purified visual imagery. His master play is to transform the vagueness of vision into something not only concrete but also transcendent, showcasing the vibrant element of the film. Murro’s exquisite camera work is highly porous to image saturation and slow motion. The bloodly spurts and coagulation are seemingly ridiculous yet work together to create something harmonious.

An interesting reversal Murro plays is the portray of Xerxes, the so-called “God King,” who turns out to be just a “Gold King.”

The gold-chained, bikini-like costume makes him look like a jewelry hanger. He serves as a symbol of ... well, nothing. The mere existence of Xerxes is to set off Artimesia’s ferocity by contrast, which can be easily achieved by some smoky-eye makeup.

“300: Rise of An Empire” is a men’s film, but what truly stands out is a woman.

No doubt Artimesia exudes a fetal charm, and though she takes many lives, if a man is destined to die on the battlefield, dying under this stunner’s sword might be the best ascription.

BY WENWEN TANG

lost interest entirely by the end.

Overall, the features are enough to make the album diverse without overshadowing Ross himself. He holds his own next to some of the genre’s best.

The album has its moments, but by the end of its 62 minutes you’re probably ready to be done with it. Ross starts doing annoying things, and like with Cousin Joe, you just want to get in the car and go to sleep while dad drives home.

‘Big Bang’ renewed for three more seasons

EDITORS: RACHEL OSMAN & SARAH ZINN | ARTS@IDSNEWS.COM

CBS has renewed its comedy “The Big Bang Theory” for three additional seasons, the network announced Wednesday.

The show, which is currently in its seventh season, averages 19.79 million weekly

viewers.

“Comedy is a big part of our schedule, and ‘The Big Bang Theory’ is the biggest comedy force on television,” said Nina Tassler, entertainment chairman for CBS.

New digital projector expands film options When the Union Board Films committee tried to rent a copy of “Dallas Buyers Club” this semester, they encountered a problem.

The film wasn’t available in a 35mm format.

Union Board Director of Films Greta Smith said the out-of-date projector at the Whittenberger Auditorium previously limited the options of films they can screen.

“You can relate it to a record player,” Smith said.

“They’re around, but people don’t use them anymore.

It’s really hard to find films available in 35mm.”

A new digital projector, to be installed March 17, will give Union Board the largest selection of movies to show in the 50-year history of the weekend film series.

Brandon Walsh, Union Board’s previous film director, proposed the purchase of a new projector.

He worked with IU Cinema Director Jon Vickers and developed a six-year financing plan to pay for the upgrade.

Union Board works with two different companies, Swank and Criterion, in order to show newly-released films to students without charging.

These companies market toward college campuses and offer movies to be rented by college groups, Smith said.

Each company has a long list of movies available to be rented. When the group decides which films they want to show, they request them to be sent, spending about $1,000 for each weekend rental.

The new digital projector provides an updated filming format, which means more films are available for

screening.

“Students want to see new movies,” Smith said.

“We showed a double feature of ‘Saw’ and ‘The Notebook,’ and no one came out.

We are going to be showing new films from now on.”

A good weekend for Union Board films attracts about 800 people to the film screenings, but that double feature only brought out about 150 people.

About 1,200 students attended last weekend’s Union Board showing of “Gravity,” an Academy Award-winning film that has not yet been released on DVD. It was the most popular of the semester and second most popular of the year, only behind “The Great Gatsby.”

The showing, like all showings organized

Union Board films to screen this semester Several Academy-Award nominated films will be screened by Union Board throughout the remainder of the semester, including this year’s Academy Award Best Picture winner, “12 Years A Slave.”

The films span several categories, from the animated Disney tale “Frozen” to the science fiction romance “Her.” Union Board shows a new film twice every Thursday, Friday and Saturday as an alternative weekend activity for students.

All films are at 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. each night in the Indiana Memorial Union’s Whittenberger Auditorium and are free for sudents to attend.

Non-students are charged a $2 entrace fee for each film.

Martin Freeman portrays Bilbo, left, and John Callen as Oin in “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.”

HOBBIT April 3-5 Directed by Peter Jackson, “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug” tells the story of Gandalf, Bilbo Baggins and the dwarves reclaiming their homeland, Erebor, from the dragon Smaug. Major actors include Ian McKellen and Martin Freeman.

FROZEN March 13-15 Two time Academy Award-winning “Frozen” follows Princess Anna and a man named Kristoff as they journey to find Anna’s sister, Elsa, whose powers are turning the kingdom into an eternal winter. “Frozen” is directed by Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee and stars Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel and Jonathon Groff.

12 YEARS A SLAVE March 27-29 Best Picture winner “12 Years a Slave” tells the true story of a free black man who is abducted in Washington D.C. and sold back into slavery in 1841. The film is directed by Steve McQueen and stars Chiwetel Ejiofor, Lupita Nyong’o and Michael Fassbender.

Joaquin Phoenix stars in “Her.”

Richie Dimaso (Bradley Cooper, left) and Irving Rosenfeld (Christian Bale) talk in a gallery at the Frick Museum in Columbia Pictures’“American Hustle.”

HER April 10-12 Science fiction romance film “Her” was written, directed and produced by Spike Jonze. The film follows a man named Theodore who falls in love with his computer operating system with a female voice and personality.

The movie stars Joaquin Phoenix, Rooney Mara, Scarlett Johansson and Amy Adams.

AMERICAN HUSTLE April 17-19 An FBI agent forces con man Irving Rosenfeld and his British partner Sydney Prosser to work on an operation against corrupt politicians.

The film, directed by David O. Russell, stars Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence.

Whitest Kids U’ Know to perform at Comedy Attic

BY BRANDON COOK brancook@indiana.edu

Widely known for their irreverence and generally offensive content, the New York-based sketch comedy group the Whitest Kids U’ Know will perform today through Saturday at the Comedy Attic.

Trevor Moore, Darren Trumeter and Sam Brown will perform at 8 p.m. today, Friday and Saturday, with additional shows at 10:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

Tickets range from $12 to $16, and Comedy Attic owner Jared Thompson expects all five appearances to be sold out.

Three of the five members of the troupe appeared at the venue last March.

Moore has worked with his troupe for more than 14 years, although the Whitest Kids U’ Know only emerged as a viable sketch comedy group in the mid2000s after several of their videos went viral on YouTube.

“We were kind of in the right place at the right time,” he said. “People were taking videos off our site and putting them on YouTube and spreading it around the net.”

Thompson said their viral success was an unorthodox approach to their later fame.

FROM IDS REPORTS

Singer-songwriter Crescent Ulmer will perform at the Bishop tonight in celebration of her new album, “Creature Comforts.” The show will start at 9:30 p.m.

Cover is $8.

The cover charge will decrease to $4 when all of the albums are sold, and download codes are available for the first 50 people who purchase an album.

The show is open to those 18 years of age and older.

Last summer, Ulmer was voted Bloomington’s best singer-songwriter. After a Kickstarter campaign, she was able to book time in a studio to record an album.

Ulmer gets inspiration from multiple genres, including jazz, hip-hop, folk and punk rock, according

Moore, the founder and best-known member of the group, released his debut album, “Drunk Texts to Myself,” in March 2013.

A collection of songs borrowing from rap, country, rock and pop genres, the album was inspired by Moore’s habit of drunktexting himself a to-do list and then later reading the nonsensical messages.

Nevertheless, Moore views the album as expressing cultural topics.

According to an IDS article from March 28, 2013, Moore said of the album, “I didn’t want to just do parody songs.

“I wanted each song to have a point,” he said. “I go into a song about circumcision. I wrote a song about the Founding Fathers

PARIS, ONE BAGUETTE AT A TIME

Discovering the surprising origin of crepes It seems tourist season has finally arrived.

I know this because places I used to like to walk around, or metro stations I used to frequent, are no longer an option for me. I physically cannot walk in them anymore due to hordes of map-clutching tourists.

Of course, what usually accompanies the tourists is the increase in street food — namely the crepe.

After writing about American food in Paris a couple weeks ago, I realized in the two months I have been here, never have I ever mentioned real French food.

Crepes are one of the foods most synonymous with France, after wine and baguettes.

It can be found in two different types of stores, the first being the aforementioned stand and the second as an actual sit-down restaurant. However, the tastes and textures of the two offerings are completely different.

Street crepes tend to be pretty simple in term of flavor — the thin pancake topped with butter and sugar or Nutella.

In a restaurant, it can get fancy. Toppings include caramelized apples and rum, or cookie butter. Also, dinner alternatives arise along with a different, crunchy type of buckwheat batter.

Right off the 6 line of the metro, I stumbled upon a street known for traditional Brittany-style crepes. I was completely surprised I would find a street of them. Curious, I

AUDREY PERKINS is a junior majoring in journalism

asked my host mother to explain why they were there.

I always thought crepe restaurants were scattered around Paris. At the time, I also didn’t know it originated in Brittany, a region of France south west of Paris, but in a northern corner of the country. She explained the geography to me.

The crepe street was a few steps away from Montparnasse Train Station, a station serviced by long-distance trains coming from the south west. She said the reason the street was loaded with crêpe restaurants was because it was designed to cater to the people newly arrived from that area.

This also explained why all the restaurants I’ve been to offer Bretagne Cidre — hard cider from Brittany traditionally eaten with the delicacy.

In my time here, I realized I will not have the chance to see all of France. I wanted to see what the typical nonParisian city looked like, and I found stepping into these crepe stores are very much like taking a temporary vacation from Paris and into another region of France.

I’m usually the only foreigner in the room, but with the cottage-like décor, eating at these types of places make me feel about as French as I can become. audperki@indiana.edu @AudreyNLP

Whitest Kids U’ Know released its self-titled debut album in 2006 and was also named Best Sketch Group at the Aspen Comedy Festival the same year.

The following evening, Union Board planned a double feature to commemorate the 10-year anniversary of “Mean Girls.”

The film will show after “Finding Kind,” a 2011 documentary which tells the story of two friends traveling across the country to expose bullying between girls.

By showing the different films, Union Board offers students an alternative activity option on the weekend, Smith said.

“Union Board is such an awesome organization because it allows students to do something on the weekend if they don’t want to go out to the parties,” Smith said. “Also, because movies are so expensive now, I think it’s so cool that we’re showing them free for students.”

he said. “They’ve been doing this for so long. A lot of it is just their understanding the strengths and weaknesses of what they have to work with.”

Unlike most other comedians that have performed at the Comedy Attic, the Whitest Kids U’ Know does not feature much stand-up. Instead, it relies on multimedia, skits and songs.

Thompson said showcasing a troupe with such a diverse approach to comedy was a new experience at the Comedy Attic.

“We’ve never done anything that wasn’t remotely stand-up at all,” he said.

“But everyone who was here last year just had so much fun.”

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is an 8 — Work in partnership and the profit increases all around.

An uninspired parody ‘Mr. Peabody & Sherman’ Ty Burrell, Max Charles, Stephen Colbert C+ When it comes to the animation game, DreamWorks Animation doesn’t hold a candle to the House of Mouse. “Monsters vs. Aliens” is no “WALL-E.” “Shark Tale” is no “Finding Nemo,” and “Mr. Peabody & Sherman” is no “Frozen.”

Though director Rob Minkoff cut his teeth directing the animated Disney smash “The Lion King,” he wasn’t able to bring that same sense of fascination and imagination to “Mr. Peabody & Sherman,” the feature film adaptation of characters used during the 1960s in “The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show.”

The first of our titular characters, Mr. Peabody, is a talking dog and the smartest being in the world. Never adopted by a loving family, Peabody devotes his life to a number of careers and accomplishments. When he finds an abandoned baby in alley with a note bearing the name Sherman, Peabody legally adopts the boy. It’s a cute role reversal, but the creative juices stop with this promising exposition.

The adventure of the film is Mr. Peabody and Sherman’s journey in a time machine to multiple eras in history, with the expected amount of hijinks ensuing. They eat cake with a hedonistic Marie Antoinette, they invent with Leonardo Di Vinci and they learn

Lea Michele C+

American history with George Washington.

Now, I’m not saying that animation aimed at a children’s’ audience needs to be strictly informative. It obviously needs to entertain, too. But “Mr. Peabody & Sherman” misses the boat by playing history like an overindulgent parody. The writer is too busy trying to make us laugh at ancient Egyptian culture to teach us anything worthwhile.

None of this is helped by the fact that it’s all just so visually uninspired. It normally wouldn’t be an insult to call an animated film cartoonish, but in this case the dig is intended. Gigantic heads on scrawny bodies is hardly novel when it comes to animating humans, but the characters in “Mr. Peabody & Sherman” are grossly unbelievable. So are talking dogs, but if the film has managed to conjure up a bit of magic, it all may be forgiven.

One of the film’s saving graces is the inspired voice work. Though he’s better known as the affable Phil Dunphy on ABC’s “Modern Family,” Ty Burrell does some phenomenal voice acting as Mr. Peabody. He’s haughty yet endearingly affectionate and almost unrecognizable. Same goes for Max Charles voicing the adorable 7-year-old Sherman. Charles incidentally is also a mainstay on the ABC network, playing Max Weaver on “The Neighbors.”

There’s a really hilarious and heart-warming film somewhere inside “Mr. Peabody & Sherman.”

Unfortunately, this is just not that movie.

the 2006 Vans Warped Tour, and beers all around for the boys in Coheed and Cambria for “The Second Stage Turbine Blade,” arguably the finest emo-progressive album of the 2000s — probably the only emo-progressive album of the 2000s.

So where exactly do indie rockers We Are Scientists fit into this playlist? Right next to the Cribs and the Automatic Automatic. Or at least it did.

See, for a while in the midlate 2000s, We Are Scientists played a catchy brand of dancey indie rock that at times

If this is the future of pop music, I fear the genre is doomed.

Notorious for her role on Fox’s long-suffering series “Glee,” Lea Michele is dumping the corny covers to try and make a name for herself with her own music on her debut solo album “Louder.”

The album is a sequence of eerily similar pop anthems, with a ballad dropped in there every now and then.

The album is busting at the seams with themes of love and self-empowerment and redundant lyrics that lose their effect by the sixth song.

Lead single “Cannonball” was released in December and reached No. 75 on the U.S. Billboard chart. “Cannonball” is a mid-tempo pop song with lyrics centered on a metaphor that makes no sense.

But it highlights the strength in Michele’s voice with powerful crescendos and alternating note sequences.

The title track “Louder” is intended to be a poppy dance tune of self-empowerment. In truth, it’s a train wreck of pop clichés that will have you rolling your eyes from the opening lyrics: “Come out of the shadow/ Step into the light/ This could be the moment/ Are you ready to fight?”

Your gag-me-now alarm should be going haywire.

The rest of the song’s lyrics aim for the same inspirational tone, complete with a fire metaphor and Michele asking and commanding you to “scream a little louder” in the chorus.

The message is clear: don’t be afraid to be yourself, speak up, shine bright like a

bordered on super watered down post-punk. It was cool.

But now the eighth-grade me is long gone and We Are Scientists have just dropped its fifth album, “TV En Francais.”

Though it’s not as awful as I feared it might be, it’s not gripping either.

The problem lies in their new sound. We Are Scientists have traded in their dance-punk roots for some of that blues-y indie rock that’s so popular with the kids right now, and it doesn’t do them any favors, especially on the second track, “Dumb Luck”.

Rule of thumb: when you steal that badass riff from Wolfmother’s “Joker and the Thief” and still bore me, then you’re doing something seriously wrong.

The second half of the record fares a little better.

“Courage” is nice in an “Everybody Hurts” knockoff kind of way, and “Slow Down” could’ve gotten me to cough up $1.29 six years ago.

“Don’t Blow It” at least has a funny and unintentionally ironic name. Spoiler: they totally blow it with another yawner.

diamond ‘cause baby you’re a firework.

Sounds familiar.

It’s the ballads of this album that keep it bearable and provide a breath of fresh air from the highly-produced tunes.

“Battlefield” is a simple piano piece carried purely by Michele’s vocals. As she sings the story of a couple who maybe doesn’t belong together, we hear a glimpse of the grit in her voice. Her Broadway tone is evident, but not overpowering.

The album ends on a sad note with “If You Say So,” a haunting piano narrative that is sure to hit “Glee” fans right in the feels. “If You Say So” tells Michele’s reaction after her boyfriend and fellow “Glee” star, Cory Monteith died.

The opening lyrics waste no time revealing the subject of the song: “It’s been seven whole days, seven whole days since you paralyzed me/ Seven whole days, seven whole days since you lost your fight.”

As the song continues, the music and emotion builds to the point that even non“Glee” fans like myself are touched.

The songs are catchy, but most of them are forgettable.

Aside from a few, there is little evidence to imply any real effort or challenge went into this album.

The good news for Michele is that she has been building a fan base since 2009.

The 12-year-olds that started out with her and the new 12-year-olds that are just discovering her will keep her career afloat for awhile.

Hopefully, she’ll use that time to develop as a real artist.

‘Louder’

For a band that copped its name from a Cap’n Jazz song, We Are Scientists don’t show a whole lot of energy or emotion on this record.

The songs are all mid-tempo snoozers, and not in an awesome, Carissa’s Wierd kind of way. Most of these tracks could pass as El Camino outtakes.

“TV En Francais” is unobtrusive stuff that fits in with whatever you want it to.

Listen to it while studying.

Listen to it while driving around.

Listen to it while eating a sandwich.

BY LEXIA BANKS

But don’t sit down with a pair of headphones and 35 minutes of free time and expect the second coming of anything great.

Like a lot of indie/post-punk outfits from the 2000s, We Are Scientists are trying out a more “mature” sound, and though that’s to be admired, growth hasn’t exactly been kind to postpunk. It didn’t work for Interpol, it didn’t work for Arctic Monkeys, and it doesn’t work here.
