When IU senior forward Tabitha Gerardot watched film of IU’s 58-52 loss to Northwestern earlier this season, she saw a “sluggish” team that missed 14 free throws and saw a potential conference win slip away. Northwestern (17-15) plays IU (20-12) at 7 p.m. today in Assembly Hall in the third

round of the Women’s National Invitation Tournament. Gerardot and her fellow teammates are looking to redeem themselves. “I think now you look at that (game) as a competitive athlete, and you just hate that,” Gerardot said. “It makes your skin crawl. So we want to be back on the floor and play well.” The Wildcats travel to Bloomington having just

Frequency Duo performs contemporary music BY BRANDON COOK brancook@indiana.edu

On Wednesday night, avantgarde chamber musicians known as the Bent Frequency Duo Project performed a guest recital in FordCrawford Hall. They played seven pieces by contemporary composers, five of which they premiered this year. A number of different themes and motifs, such as the Book of Job, mathematical constructions and Popeye the sailor, inspired the pieces. Professional percussionist Stuart Gerber and saxophonist Jan Berry Baker founded the Bent Frequency Duo Project in Atlanta in 2003. Gerber, whose “consummate virtuosity” was praised by the New York Times, has toured and taught internationally, most recently as the associate professor of percussion at Georgia State University. Also an acclaimed performer, Baker has appeared with numerous ballet, opera and chamber music companies. In May, she will appear on the “Blurred Edges 2014” presentation by the German company aktueller Musik. The first piece performed and the only track not commissioned for Bent Frequency, “From the Air” was

written by artist Laurie Anderson in 1982 for her experimental, minimalist album, “Big Science.” The album remains influential, particularly for its combination of pop elements into experimental, contemporary classical music. “O Superman,” an eight-minute track on the album inspired by the crash of a military rescue helicopter outside Tehran in 1980, featured repeated or looping harmonies as well as vocals and sporadic instrumentation. The disaster and terror that inspired “O Superman” was felt in “From the Air” as well. “I sort of felt like my life was ending,” freshman Katherine Knapp said. “I couldn’t decide if I was okay with it until the song was over.” A similar sense of confusion was felt in the duo’s fourth song, the three-part “Oh, Popeye!” “I’ve never heard anything like it before,” freshman Meredith Baker said. “Oh, Popeye!” opened with a looping recording of the sailor’s dry cackle, which the performers built upon in a series of chromatic glissandi. The sound culminated into what the program notes called, “a tempest of crashing oscillations” which led to the second section, “a grooving dialogue” between Popeye and his love

House Enrolled Act 1004 is expected to be signed into law by Gov. Mike Pence. HEA 1004 creates a pilot prekindergarten program for 4-yearolds in up to five Indiana counties. The Act is authored by House Education Committee Chairman Rep. Bob Behning, R-Indianapolis, and co-authored by House Speaker Brian Bosma, R-Indianapolis. On Feb, 12, 2014, Pence testified in front of the Indiana Senate Education and Career Development Committee in favor of HEA 1004. “Because every child deserves to start school ready to learn, I believe the time has come for a voluntary pre-K program to help Indiana’s low-income kids, and I am honored to endorse that proposal before this committee today,” Pence said. The program is designed to help children who live in poverty and whose families have an income up to 127 percent above the federal poverty level. While the poverty level is about $23,850 for a family of four, families making about $30,000 could qualify, according to a press release from Behning’s office. The grants range in amount from $2,500 to $6,800. “Last year, House Republicans took a small step toward our goal

As of midnight Wednesday, the Bloomington City Council had yet to vote on Habitat for Humanity of Monroe County’s planned unit development to build a neighborhood near the Cottage Grove and B-line trail area This hearing was the third and final hearing for the project, which is projected to be finished toward the end of 2014. Thirtyfive houses will be built in the area for low-income families looking for permanent homes. The PUD had a 5-3 favorable recommendation from the Planning Commission earlier this month. The approved reasonable exception called for Habitat to institute a “native planting” plan instead of a landscaping plan for the neighborhood. The native planting plan is intended to put focus on preserving natural vegetation. Planting would be funded by Habitat within reason to its budget. Donations are expected to be a large part of Habitat’s planting budget. “Generally speaking, this is an organization that has the ability to get volunteers and donations that others organizations don’t, and is not considered to be a costly endeavor due to availability of plants and seeds,” Planning Director Tom Micuda said. “But I can’t comment on this much specifically.” One rejected reasonable exception proposed that the SEE HABITAT, PAGE 6

Scientists discuss scientiﬁc and religious beliefs

John Beggs and Douglas Hofstadter, two of the four panelists, discuss whether science and a belief in God are compatible on Wednesday at the Kelley School of Business. BY DENNIS BARBOSA dbarbosa@indiana.edu @DennisBarbosa86

Four IU scientists spent Wednesday night trying to answer one of the modern age’s most challenging questions: can belief in God and science be reconciled? The Secular Alliance at IU sponsored the panel, “Are Science and Belief in God Compatible?” The audience packed a lecture hall in the Kelley School of Business. Orion Day, president of the Secular Alliance, introduced the speakers and moderated the discussion. John Beggs, an associate professor of physics, launched the discussion by posing the question of whether science could explain if bayonetting a baby is wrong. “Science can’t really answer that question. It can’t answer what I should do with my life,” Beggs said. “And I don’t think sociobiology can answer why we shouldn’t have genocide.” Beggs said he didn’t think a belief in God and science needed to be divorced. He cited examples of award-winning scientists such as Francis Collins, director of National Institutes of Health, who is a practicing Evangelical. “I don’t think it’s essential that one has religious beliefs in order to answer some of the questions John raised,” physics professor Timothy Londergan said, referring to life after death and morality. Londergan said he thought belief in both God and science was compatible as long as the scientist followed the rules of scientific method. He said it is “extraneous” to ask about a scientist’s personal beliefs. He compared such a distinction to the Germans in the 1930s when they divided science into Aryan science and Jewish science. Londergan called such divisions “disastrous.” “To me, the universe is all determined by these microscopic things happening, and that doesn’t leave room for intervention, like John said, for angels or anything else of that sort,” said Douglas Hofstadter, professor of cognitive science and comparative literature. “I don’t think having a cold is the result of some kind of divine intervention or any other thing. I think it’s be-

cause of microbes.” Referring back to Beggs’ original bayonetting babies example, Hofstadter said it had nothing to do with God. “It has to do with not wanting to kill,” he said. “It comes from empathy.” David Bender, a Ph.D. student of computer and cognitive science, said he was a Christian but has since rejected his former faith. He said a belief in God and in science is not logically incompatible, but there’s definitely a conflict. “I don’t require that my moral sense be timeless,” Bender said. Beggs clarified for the panelists that he did not believe an atheist to be incapable of being a moral person. He even said they could be more moral than him, joking that it wouldn’t be hard to do. “Science sometimes oversteps the bounds, and starts to make ethical statements both in evolution and in neuroscience,” Beggs said. “And there I think there is a conflict.” Londergan said he agreed with Beggs, but that he also believed scientific advances would soon challenge fundamentalist beliefs in religious, absolute rules that are prioritized over secular laws. He said scientists who believe in a young earth and a global flood are vanishing. “What I kept thinking was it was secularism against Christianity,” said Tim Hobbs, Ph.D. and physics graduate student, after the panel discussion. “I imagine, for instance, Muslims or Jews have beliefs that are not necessarily secular, but not Christian.” Hobbs said he hoped to see similar panels again, but with more variety of ideas. “It would be nice to see those perspectives represented in the future,” he said.

Peace Corps to send 3 abroad BY SUZANNE GROSSMAN spgrossm@indiana.edu @suzannepaige6

The Career Development Center’s conference room was standing room only as IU’s returned Peace Corps volunteers sent off new volunteers Wednesday. To kick off the event, Regional Recruiter Laura Fonseca conducted a video meeting with current in-thefield IU volunteer, Michael Cowlick in Peru. “This is totally different than where we were 10 years ago, and it’s great we got to video chat a volunteer,” Fonseca said. Fonseca said the Peace Corps also hopes the event encourages interested students to apply for volunteer positions by giving them more information. “Most people, we find, already know they want to do Peace Corps before they really know what it is,” Fonseca said. “I think that’s great and so we don’t really need to recruit. But it’s about exposing people to who we are, IU’s return volunteer network and giving them resources to increase overall awareness.” Dispelling false conceptions about the Peace Corps is important to the organization, Associate Director for Volunteers Helen Lowman said. “I think a lot of people hear Peace Corps and think they won’t get paid, or ‘What would that do for my career?’” she said. “But the fact is you do get paid and you get incredible on-the-job training, you learn a language, get full medical care. The list of benefits just goes on and on.” Four volunteers from IU also told personal stories from their overseas volunteering. Josh Becker, a SPEA graduate student and Peace Corps volunteer, shared a singing tradition he learned in Fiji.

Peace Corps Associate Director Helen Lowman tells her own story and introduces the “Special Event: Peace Corps send off celebration and Returned Volunteer Panel” on Wednesday at the Career Development Center. Volunteers shared their stories and experiences during the event.

Becker is also a Coverdell Fellow. The fellowship is one of the unknown perks that come with Peace Corps — at IU, being a Fellow means being allowed to opt out of SPEA’s internship requirement, receiving a $6,000 stipend every academic year and receiving a six credit hour reduction from the regular 48-hour program. Becker said there’s value in the lessons learned from living with people from different cultures and backgrounds. “It always comes down to stories about the relationships you make while volunteering,” Becker said. “Peace Corps’ mission of sharing yourself as an American and learning about the community members you serve with is a big part of it. It’s a celebration of cross-cultural sharing.” The finale of the event saw three volunteers receive their

The IU debate team will go head to head this weekend with those from Harvard, Northwestern and other universities in the 68th National Debate Tournament. The Hoosier Debate Team organized the event, which will take place at IU, according to a March 26 press release. “These are the best of the best,” IU Debate Coach Brian DeLong and School of Public and Environmental Affairs faculty member said in the release. “We’re proud that our Hoosier debaters will be a part of this tournament, and we’re excited that we have the opportunity to show off our campus and our community.” More than 500 students are coming to IU with more than 200 debate coaches, directors and judges for the event. Each team features two competitors. U.S. schools ranked in

the top 80 qualify for the tournament. Many teams have already arrived in Bloomington as IU also played host to the Cross Examination Debate Association last weekend, according to the release. To be a part of collegiate debate, students spend hours researching and polishing their strategies and presentations. Until DeLong was hired as coach four years ago, debate had seemingly disappeared from IU. “To have two major tournaments on backto-back weekends really signifies that debate has made a comeback at IU and that we’ll be part of the national debate landscape for years to come,” DeLong said in the release. Registration for the tournament begins Thursday and will continue through the weekend. The winners will be announced Monday. Kathrine Schulze

Now, filling out the application will only take one hour instead of up to eight, effective July 1. With the new process, applicants will also have more say in where they are placed. “We have a new interactive map that shows open positions before students apply,” Public Affairs Coordinator Jessica Mayle said. “It’s going to increase the applicant responsibility to choose which positions to apply for.” Lowman said making the choice to volunteer empowers people to have a guaranteed affect on the world. “When you graduate, you can make a salary or you can make a difference,” Lowman said. “If you join the Peace Corps, you make a difference.”

Woman arrested for heroin possession FROM IDS REPORTS

Bloomington police arrested a 22-year-old woman for possession of $200 worth of heroin on the city’s North side Monday. Shelby Lynne Murello’s roommate, concerned for Murello’s well-being, contacted the Bloomington Police Department because she thought Murello was using drugs in the house, BPD Lt. Steve Kellams said. When officers arrived at the 1403 N. Woodburn Ave. house, Murello told police she had used heroin in the past on a daily basis at some

points but that she had been sober for three months, according to court documents. After police spoke with the roommate, they determined Murello lied about her drug use. Murello gave police permission to search her room. Police found several needles and caps in a drawer. Later Murello told police she had hidden items in the garage and gave police permission to search the garage. Police found a wooden box with several needles, a spoon burned on the bottom and a little case with what looked like a piece of

gravel, according to court documents. She told police she paid $200 for the heroin Sunday in Indianapolis, but she had only used it once because it was not as potent as heroin she had used in the past. Murello was booked into the Monroe County Jail for possession of a narcotic drug, a class D felony, with bond set at $2,000 surety and $500 cash. Her initial hearing was scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Fifth Circuit Court. Dennis Barbosa

Old phone scam resurfaces in Bloomington FROM IDS REPORTS

Indiana State Police said an old phone scam has resurfaced in Bloomington. State troopers received information earlier this week from an elderly woman who was scammed by someone pretending to be her grandson stuck in Mexico and in need of money, according to a press release. The woman received a call from someone claiming to be a representative of the American Consulate in Mexico, who then passed the phone to a young man claiming to be her grandson who was in trouble and needed her help. The connection was bad, and the victim told police she could not confirm whether it was her grandson, according to the press release. The professed grandson begged her to send him $1,200 through Western Union. The person claiming to be with the consulate told the

woman her grandson was caught with marijuana while on spring break in Mexico. The woman wired the money to the address given to her and then received another call requesting $50,000 for attorney fees. The ISP are calling this an age-old scam because it is nothing new, ISP Sgt. Curt Durnil said. It is common for these types of scams to occur during spring break and holidays. Similar scams include a caller claiming you won prize money as well as hangup calls. Bloomington police received a report earlier this year of a hang-up scam, which involves a caller hanging up before the receiver can answer. When the person calls the missed number their phone gets charged by an unknown party. “Just because your phone is ringing doesn’t mean you have to answer,” Durnil said. “We ask people to be careful before calling back. You

can Google numbers before calling.” The ISP has referred Monday’s phone scam case to the FBI because the call came from outside the country. “When people post where they are on social media, that information is very easily obtained by other people looking to take advantage of you,” Durnil said. “You really make yourself vulnerable when you post where and when you’re going somewhere.” Once a scammer has received money from the victim, they usually call back a second time for more money, according to the press release. ISP advises people to always verify identities and situations before sending money. Anyone with information can contact ISP Sgt. Curt Durnil at 812-332-4411 or the Federal Trade Commission at 877-382-4357. Dennis Barbosa

City urged to address summer shelters issue BY SARAH ZINN sjzinn@indiana.edu

Audience members were moved to tears as they listened to personal stories relating to homelessness at the city council meeting last night. The Wednesday night meeting started with 20 minutes of public comment from 15 different speakers, 14 with a vested interest in providing summer shelter to tenants of Interfaith Winter Shelter, who will be without shelter come April 1. “There are worse things that Bloomington could be known for than compassion,” said Stephanie Waller, IU student and an Interfaith volunteer. Several speakers were students at the IU School of Social Work who also volunteered at the Interfaith shelter. IU student and Interfaith volunteer Gabriela Morales was brought to tears at the podium. She said she didn’t want to go to a college in a town that treated people this way. Others in the audience were also moved by the poems, testimonials and pleas of speakers. Kathy Byers, director at the IU School of Social Work, stressed collective and cooperative action on the parts of city government, social services and community activists. “You cannot get your life together, you cannot address your addiction, you cannot get a job without a place to

IU School of Social Work student Gabriella Morales gives her opinion about expanding options for people experiencing homelessness during the time for public comment at the Bloomington City Council meeting on Wednesday at City Hall.

Later in the meeting Morales could be seen fighting back tears.

sleep at night,” she said. Bloomington resident Glenn Carter emphasized the city’s lack of concern for people without money, and its close relationship to IU. While opponents of the initiative to create a summer shelter criticize people experience homelessness for substance abuse, Carter said college students have similar habits and the city condones it because of their class in society. The need for a low-barrier shelter in Bloomington was a main point in the commentary. Low-barrier shelters, unlike local existing high-barrier shelters such as Martha’s House, have only one requirement for entry — that tenants exhibit respectful behavior. High-barrier shelters

only accept tenants who are sober, Monroe county citizens with no history of sexual abuse. Samantha Harrell, who directs IWS on Sunday nights, asked the council members to reconsider the city’s hesitant position on low barrier shelters. Mayor Mark Kruzan has been open about his opposition to the opening of a summer shelter, because he said he thinks many homeless people do not hail from Monroe County. Harrell stressed that the low barrier model was effective. “I’m in awe at the work that the community is doing to respond to this crisis,” Harrell said. “I’m asking one of you to step up.”

DANE IN REAL LIFE

Death is never a reason to celebrate DANE MCDONALD is a senior majoring in journalism.

May 2, 2011, and March 19, 2014, were very similar days for me. Bookending the beginning and end of my undergraduate career at IU, both days brought about the deaths of prominent and malevolent figures in American culture. And neither death brought me solace. Osama bin Laden’s death in 2011 and the death of Westboro Baptist Church leader and founder Fred Phelps last week could both be reasonably seen as occasions to commemorate the end of one individual’s reign of perverse terror. I don’t need to remind you bin Laden was the mastermind behind terrorist attacks across the world, most notably the attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001. Phelps founded his small, independent church in Topeka, Kan., whose members are known for picketing funerals of American soldiers and anyone who’s ever been seen publicly with a homosexual. And though the world is a better place without these men, death is never something to celebrate. The night bin Laden was killed, I saw images on television of people rejoicing outside the White House, singing inharmonious renditions of songs with merriment and elation. It was discombobulating, both because I disagreed with such celebration and because I felt guilty for not being happy like those I saw on CNN. Bin Laden is clearly the more prominent figure, despite the notoriety and infamy Phelps and his church have gained in the last two decades or so. Bin Laden has also inflicted more pain on people than the Westboro Baptist Church will ever have the manpower to do. But we can’t lower ourselves to the level of the Westboro Baptist Church members and cheer at the news of someone’s passing. Despite Phelps and his followers’ refusal to grant other people the same respect, we cannot show joy at this man’s passing. When Westboro protested pop singer Lorde’s concert in Kansas City, Mo., a group of rival protestors shared my sentiment. A man and woman held up a sign that read “Sorry for your loss” to the church members. Though turning the other cheek is never an easy thing to do — and certainly not something I can say I’m skilled at — this is the response we need to have towards the Westboro Baptist Church going forward. Hate cannot be obliterated with hate. We’re no better than the hateful men who have died if we waste our breath cheering for their passing. I’m not asking you to mourn or grieve. I’m just asking you to consider leaving your hate behind, lest you embody the emotion you claim to condemn. wdmcdona@indiana.edu @thedevilwearsdm

Veiled racism is still racism

EMMA WENNINGER is a sophomore majoring in English.

Hey, I’m afraid I won’t be able to come in today.

I’ve come down with a bad case of the inner-city bug that’s been going around and won’t be able to value the culture of work...

ILLUSTRATION BY GRIFFIN LEEDS | IDS

WE SAY: Paul Ryan is severely out of line. Former vice presidential candidate representative Paul Ryan, R-Wisc., drew criticism earlier this month when he made what many have interpreted as a tacitly racist comment about innercity men. Ryan said inner-city men don’t value the “culture of work.” As expected, he’s received a bit of blowback. The Congressional Black Caucus came out swinging, with Rep. Barbara Lee, DCalif., calling it “a thinlyveiled racial attack.” Some of Ryan’s own constituents had similar reactions to the congressman’s statement. Alfonso Gardner, an African-American in Ryan’s district, called Ryan out for using “a code word for ‘black.’” Ryan has denied the statement was intended to be racist, stating he was inarticulate and was trying to talk about society as a whole.

The Editorial Board believes this underscores a serious problem with politicians like Paul Ryan. While Ryan might not be shouting racial epithets or going on about conspiracy theories involving President Obama, he is still perpetuating an atmosphere of ignorance. This sort of ignorance is blind to the fact that the average black family makes 40 percent less than the average white family. It also completely overlooks the fact that white felons get jobs more easily than black non-felons. Politicians like Ryan love to point a finger at poor Americans while shaming and blaming them for their circumstances. Yet he’s completely oblivious to the fact that his party’s policies have had a hand in perpetuating the cycle of poverty instead of ending it. In his speech, Ryan

quoted Charles Murray, a conservative political scientist who believes black people are genetically less intelligent than whites and that “a lot of poor people are born lazy.” Even though Ryan never said “black” or “African-American,” we know what he was implying. In 2000, 70 percent of black men and women lived in inner cities or the inner-ring suburbs. By pointing toward one of the areas in the U.S. most heavily populated by minorities, Ryan can’t claim that race never crossed his mind. It’s beyond offensive to claim that inner-city men are lazy and then brush off the fact that most of those men are people of color. The Editorial Board sees through Ryan’s “inarticulate” words. By blowing the racist dog whistle and then running in the other direction,

he’s not fooling anyone. Comments like Ryan’s about inner-city men only serve to feed the underlying racism in our country. And, as Ryan shows, it’s becoming more and more veiled than ever. In the inner-city, 32 percent of people live in poverty and 14 percent are unemployed. This is compared to the 9.4 percent of suburban people in poverty and the 9 percent of suburban people who are unemployed. President Obama has stressed again and again that everyone — from the government to churches to neighborhood parents — needs to work to give inner-city children more opportunities.

‘Community’ deserves to be saved For the past five years, I have been entranced by NBC’s highly-rated comedy, “Community.” Each year the show struggles to maintain a substantial audience the network finds acceptable, and the threat of cancelation has always been present throughout the show’s history. That being said, the show has developed a strong cult following, of which I am definitely a member. Last year, NBC originally did not renew the show. Fans reacted immediately, creating a “Save Community” website with a petition of almost 103,000 signatures from fans begging NBC to put their beloved show back on the air and to re-hire show runner and creator Dan Harmon. Fans created dozens of websites and made #sixseasonsandamovie a trending topic on Twitter, hoping to bring the show back. The cast of the show even

made a video to show their appreciation for the loyal fans. The crazy thing is, it worked. Harmon was asked to return to the show for its fifth season, and he did. One needs only look at “Arrested Development” or the “Veronica Mars” Kickstarter to see how much hype saving a show can generate in the digital realm. The show follows Jeff Winger, played by Joel McHale, who is forced to attend community college after his law firm realizes his degree is illegitimate. He creates a Spanish study group, meeting six other students in the process. There’s Britta Perry, former leader of the anHERchists majoring in psychology; Abed Nadir, an emotionally reserved film-maker wannabe; Shirley Bennet, a single mother of three with thinly-veiled rage issues; Annie Edison, a Type A student who sees the best

in everyone; Troy Barnes, a high school football star struggling to find his identity without football; and Pierce Hawthorne, the heir to a moist towelette empire who has been enrolled at Greendale since 1999. These lovable misfits have crazy adventures together, such as all-out paintball wars, an episode based on “Law & Order” about a sabotaged sweet-potatogrowing science project and a parody of “The Hunger Games” to decide which students would be enrolled in a “History of Ice Cream” course. Each episode of “Community” features incredible recurring and guest characters. However, “Community” is so much more than a witty script and a stellar cast. It’s a dysfunctional family, a modern-day “Breakfast Club.” I have been a loyal fan of the show since its series

premiere in September 2009. Though the show has had rocky moments, overall it is comedic genius. To this day, it is the only show that guarantees a laugh in each episode. I recommended it to my friends and not one of them disliked the show. It caters to all tastes and senses of humor and does not rely on past comedy gems to create plot lines. It is original, something very rare in the comedy genre. I can only hope NBC continues to see the merits of such a brilliant show and renews “Community” for another season. Long live Greendale. aledaily@indiana.edu

The Representation Project, the team behind the award-winning “Miss Representation” documentary, is gearing up for another project. The film in question is an in-depth analysis of the mental health of young men in America. This documentary is one of the first real attempts I’ve seen in a long time to understand and appreciate the development of the young adult male in the United States. The film, “The Mask You Live In,” argues the three most destructive words you can say to a young boy are, “Be a man.” This phrase implies that young men must constantly prove themselves. Showing they are a “man,” according to what we have defined men to be — big, strong, not prone to emotion or sensitivity, willing to fight and unable to form attachments — is what the phrase embodies in our society. If a boy is not given the approval he needs, if he cannot fulfill his role or if he seems in any way emotional, sensitive or anything else we have made inherently “effeminate,” he has failed in his role. This vicious cycle can lead to health problems, violence and death. I wrote a column a few weeks ago about the benefits of the Men Against Rape program, which teaches members of the greek community about sexual assault and violence. I think this film is another excellent way in which we can create a dialogue about men’s mental health. It allows us to explore the underlying causes of violence perpetrated by young men, and it helps us understand how to help and better the problem. Right now, the issue is very much a lack of real education and discussion. A lot of the focus is on young women — and for good reason. But boys, it seems, are not the priority. When there is a lack of education, there is a lack of problem solving. The answer becomes jail, community service or juvenile detention. These programs and institutions, while beneficial, are easy ways out. Programs do not do the hard work right at the start, which could include mental health programs, a renewed focus on men’s health and teaching boys about how to avoid violence. We wait until they explode and commit a crime, and then we punish them. I hope this film begins to create an equal discussion around of both men’s and women’s health. The two issues are equally important. If we can begin looking at them without gender bias and sexism, we can start to tackle and hopefully change some important issues. I’ll be keeping my eye on the Representation Project. ewenning@indiana.edu @EmmaWenninger

Men’s swim and dive prepares for NCAAs BY GRACE PALMIERI gpalmier@indiana.edu @grace_palmieri

After a second-place finish at the men’s Big Ten Championships, four swimmers and two divers from IU’s men’s swimming and diving team will compete at this weekend’s NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships in Austin, Tex. They will try for a third consecutive top-10 finish. Last year, the Hoosiers placed ninth, their highest finish since 1980 and with their highest point total (201) since 1975. IU Coach Ray Looze said this year they will rely on quality rather than quantity. “We’ve got less people here than we did last year, but that doesn’t necessarily mean we’ll score less points,” he said. “We’re not as deep, but I believe we’ve got pretty good quality.” IU will have a total of nine competitors. Freshmen Max Irwin and Anze Tavcar and sophomore Tanner Kurz are relay-only swimmers. Senior Eric Ress enters the meet as the top seed in the 200-yard backstroke. He has the top five times in IU history in the event and most recently won the Big Ten title. Ress said despite high expectations, he will treat the race like any other. He said, more than anything, relays will be important to the team’s success. “The mentality for the guys as a whole is really geared toward relay performances,” Ress said. “That’s where you get the most points. And rather than just swimming for ourselves,

we’re swimming to try to get the most points individually as we can to contribute to the team score.” At the 2011 NCAA Championships, Ress was runnerup in both the 100- and 200yard backstroke. This year, he is joined by junior Steve Schmuhl and seniors Cody Miller and James Wells as the four individual qualifiers. Schmuhl, Miller and Ress are returning All-Americas from 2013. Miller said the team’s preparation since the Big Ten Championships stands out from previous years. “Last week everyone was hitting the fastest pace times we’ve ever seen,” he said. “We have four individual qualifiers this year, and all of us have been in A finals at this meet in previous years. The team is more prepared than we have ever been before.“ Senior divers Darian Schmidt and Emad Abdelatif will compete in the 1-meter and 3-meter springboard competitions. They qualified at the NCAA Zone C Diving Championships. Schmidt was the Big Ten Champion in both the 1-meter and 3-meter and was

Errors, big innings doom IU baseball FROM IDS REPORTS

An early deficit and a big seventh inning doomed the IU baseball team Wednesday afternoon as it fell 12-8 against Indiana State. The Sycamores jumped on Hoosier starter Sullivan Stadler early, pushing across five runs in the first two frames. The sophomore lefthander made it through just 3.1 innings in his second career start, striking out two batters and issuing two walks. IU was able to cut the deficit to 6-5 by scoring four

runs in the top of the seventh inning, but a disastrous bottom half of the inning put the game out of its reach. With one out and runners on first and second base, sophomore shortstop Nick Ramos fumbled a potential double-play grounder, allowing the inning to continue. The Sycamores went on to score six runs in the inning, and the Hoosiers were unable to close the gap, despite a three-run ninth inning. Errors have been a continuing problem for the Hoosiers in 2014 — three

against the Sycamores brought their season total to 27 in just 22 games. Last season, IU committed 90 errors in 65 games. Junior first baseman Sam Travis and senior third baseman Dustin DeMuth carried the offensive load for the Hoosiers, collecting five hits and three RBI between themselves. IU (12-10) will next take the field against Ohio State for a three-game series in Columbus, Ohio, this weekend. Alden Woods

IU Coach Curt Miller collects 2014 Region 6 Coach of the Year honors FROM IDS REPORTS

IU Coach Curt Miller has been named the 2014 Russell Athletic/WBCA NCAA Division I Regional Coach of the Year for Region 6, the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association announced Wednesday. The recognition makes Miller one of eight finalists for National Coach of the Year. Miller joins Geno Auriemma of Connecticut (Region 1), Muffet McGraw of Notre Dame (Region 2), Dawn Staley of South Carolina (Region

3), Jennifer Roos of Bowling Green (Region 4), Kim Mulkey of Baylor (Region 5), Ryun Williams of Colorado State (Region 7) and Scott Rueck of Oregon State (Region 8) as finalists for the inaugural Pat Summit Trophy. The trophy will go to the Russell Athletic/WBCA National Coach of the Year, who will be announced April 7. Miller, now in his second year as head coach for IU women’s basketball, led a roster of nine first-year players to 20 wins this season, one shy of the school record for

wins in a season. The Hoosiers won a total of 15 games in the two seasons prior to Miller’s arrival. This marks the fifth time Miller has earned the title of WBCA Regional Coach of the Year. Miller also earned the award at Bowling Green in 2006, 2007, 2009 and 2012. IU is currently 20-12 on the season and will play Northwestern in the third round of the WNIT at 7 p.m. Thursday in Assembly Hall. Sam Beishuizen

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Wildcats shot 75.9 percent from the floor. Apart from the obvious offensive success Northwestern had against IUPUI, IU Coach Curt Miller was impressed by the Wildcats’ defensive effort. Throughout the game, Northwestern relied on a three-quarter press and a variety of defensive schemes Miller expects to see again tonight. “They mixed defenses really well against IUPUI,” Miller said. “They dominated. Their defense really confused them, had them out of sync.” IU’s response to Northwestern’s defense will be led by freshman Larryn Brooks, who is averaging 22 points per game in the WNIT this year. Brooks said she had been slumping in recent games but believes her game is coming together. Miller credited her added emphasis on driving to the basket for her recent success. He said he believes the transition game against Northwestern will be key in deciding a winner. “Transition defense, I think, is the story of the game,” Miller said. “(Northwestern’s) really, really talented in transition. They’re probably more athletic in every single position out there, so we really have to get back in order to stop them.” Miller added at times, Northwestern scores almost 40 percent of its points in transition.

In the earlier matchup between the teams this season, Coffey played only seven minutes before getting injured and sitting out the remainder of the game. Now that Coffey is healthy, freshman guard Alexis Gassion is expecting Coffey to return strong. “(Coffey) is a really talented freshman,” Gassion said. “We need to stop her aggressiveness and force her right. We definitely need to force her to her weaker hand to slow her down.” The Wildcats play an unconventional lineup that often plays without a true center. In recent games, Northwestern has shrunk its rotation down to seven players. Northwestern is the Big Ten’s worst rebounding team. Its lack of size led to IU grabbing 20 offensive rebounds the last time the teams met. Miller said rebounding against Northwestern, the Big Ten’s leader in blocks at 6.7 blocks per game, will be key for his team. “When you have a team that really goes after blocked shots, you have to out-offensive rebound them,” Miller said. Northwestern is the first Big Ten team IU will have played in the postseason. The Hoosiers are undefeated against non-conference opponents, but IU has lost six of its last seven games against Big Ten foes.

FROM ANOTHER UNIVERSE Rod Tuffcurls and the Bench Press aren’t from our universe. Or so they say. BY JACOB KLOPFENSTEIN jklopfen@indiana.edu @JFKlopfenstein

Rod Tuffcurls and the Bench Press aren’t from around here. It’s not even close. They’re from an alternate universe. They’re unsure of the name of this universe. It might be Zinidion 7. Or Kreblon. That’s a phonetic spelling — apparently the proper way includes a silent J. There are no carbs where they’re from, and Jennifer Lawrence is everywhere. “I think the alternate universe exists inside of cells existing in Jennifer Lawrence’s nose hairs,” said Rod Tuffcurls, the band’s namesake and lead guitarist. Tuffcurls, along with drummer Dick Celebrity, guitarist Happy Masterson and bassist CC Ryder, makes up the Bench Press, which hails from Chicago and tours the Midwest. But Bloomington is a special place for the cover band. They’ve played the Bluebird Nightclub three times this semester already, and they’ll play again this Saturday night, as well as two nights during Little 500 weekend. Looking at the band at the Bluebird, it’s not hard to tell they’re imported. As they play on March 12, temperatures outside are in the 20s, but they still wear baseball T-shirts with their names written on them and short-shorts that don’t even come halfway to their knees. During one song, Tuffcurls sticks his thumbs into his shirt to make it look like his nipples are protruding. Bassist CC Ryder stands on top of an amp stack as he plays another song. Ryder, Tuffcurls and Masterson perform synchronized dance moves during Modest Mouse’s “Float On.” “They’re all front guys, but everybody’s got their different personality,” Celebrity said. “They do different types of joking on stage.” Celebrity said Ryder is the crooner of the group. He’s a “bass destroyer” and can lay down a mean bass line. But he’s also a “heart destroyer” and sings many of the ballads on the band’s setlist. Masterson is the single guy. “So he’s a swinger,” Ryder said.

Rod Tuffcurls and the Bench Press is known for wearing skimpy running shorts, tall socks and gym shoes. He joined the band just eight months ago, mostly on the basis that girls would like him. He sings most of the girl songs. “Not the songs that girls like,” Masterson said. “The songs sung by girls. Men seem to like them.” Tuffcurls is the “spastic one,” according to Celebrity. For much of the interview, he responds only in tweets he’s reading off of his phone. Ryder says he sings most of the “idiosyncratic” vocals. Drummer Celebrity is a model, actor and musician. He keeps the band in time behind the drumset and is sometimes responsible for keeping them on track during their set. They all have extensive musical experience, having taken music lessons since childhood. Some of them have music degrees, others in theater. Celebrity has a master’s degree in jazz drumming from DePaul University. Ryder’s mother is a voice teacher, so he’s been exposed to music for as long as he can remember. Before he joined the band, Masterson was music director for Chicago’s Second City comedy troupe.

The Bluebird becomes a diverse melting pot on nights when the Bench Press plays. You’ll see bros with their jerseys and backwards hats, hippie girls with baggy clothing and dreads, and the regular college folks in hoodies and glasses. You’ll even see uncategorizable wildcards like the guy who’s wearing an orange paisley suit with a bolo tie. The band knows this, and they try to include something for everyone. Their setlists include everything from songs of the 1960s to the pop hits of today. On March 12, they opened with “Everything Is Awesome,” from “The Lego Movie.” Then they went in to the Beatles’ “She Loves You,” doing the head shakes on the “woos” like John and Paul did. They performed “Runaround Sue,” a No. 1 hit from 1961. But then they switched gears and played Haim’s “The Wire,” a top 40 hit released less than a year ago, a few songs later. And while their energy and enthusiasm drive their shows, their virtuosity is always present, too. They

morph “Go Your Own Way” into “Sultans of Swing” at the end, with Masterson taking a slick, Mark Knopfler-style solo. Masterson, Ryder and Tuffcurls layer three different a capella vocal lines during “Kiss From A Rose.” “We all like a lot of different music,” Celebrity said. “But our overlapping taste is what we play.” Even though “Ants Marching” is frequently on the setlist at their shows, Celebrity seems to be the only member of the band who likes Dave Matthews. Ryder says Matthews is a huge influence. “It’s like, ‘what should I not do as a musician or songwriter,” Celebrity said. Masterson plays Television’s “Marquee Moon” during some down time at the

‘God’s Not Dead’ Shane Harper, Kevin Sorbo, David A.R. White CIt’s rare to have a Christian movie that doesn’t make you leave feeling as if you’d just been choked by a Bible. But somehow, “God’s Not Dead” manages it. Shane Harper plays Josh Wheaton, a college freshman. Things are going well until he meets his philosophy professor. Professor Radisson (Kevin Sorbo) is an atheist and wishes to have the class skip the Christian portion of the curriculum by writing three words: God is dead. Josh, a devout Christian, refuses to comply. As a consequence, he must prove the existence of God to the class. Against the wishes of his parents and overbearing girlfriend, Josh accepts the challenge. As he struggles to find evidence of God, other characters’ story lines unravel. Ayisha, a student at Josh’s school, must hide her Christian beliefs from her overprotective Muslim father. Amy Ryan is a spunky journalist diagnosed with cancer. Mina’s mother is suffering from dementia. In the end, all these characters are brought together by one thing. No, it’s not by God. The reason this film didn’t feel overbearing is because not everything works out in the end. There are no miracles. Amy still has cancer. Mina’s mom still can’t remember who her children are. Some come to God and some still brush him off their shoulder. It all comes down to choice, just as in Josh’s final presentation. The criticisms of Christianity today and its role in the media was represented in Amy’s impromptu interview with “Duck Dynasty” stars Willie and Korie Robertson. Amy criticized them similarly to how the cast has been censured in the past. In terms of production, the film wasn’t consistent in quality. There were moments of brilliant camera work with artistic angles and changes of focus. Then

Oprah to embark on empowerment tour

PARIS, ONE BAGUETTE AT A TIME

Dr. Suess-themed children’s musical comes to John Waldron Arts Center

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

Champagne and churches in Reims Reims, a northeastern city almost bordering Belgium, is known for two things: the Notre Dame de Reims Cathedral and its access to the Champagne region of France. The Institute of the International Education of Students took its Paris students there last weekend. Madeline Burg, a junior at Northwestern University, was glad to escape the hectic energy of the city. “It was actually really nice,” Burg said. “I would love to go back to Reims. It was just empty, which was kind of lovely.” She said this despite the freezing cold weather. Wrapped tightly in her tan coat, she shivered as wind circled around us. Pounded with waves of rain and wind, the massive church overlooked us. It was the tallest structure in the area. We could see Reims’ connection to the champagne industry — there was a series of stained-glass windows dedicated to its creation. Seeping royal blue infused light was an intricate maze of a window, all with miniscule barrels scattered about. Champagne, or champAH-gne in French pronunciation, is a sparkling wine that takes its name from the region in which it originates — Champagne, France. Saving us from the cold weather, IES took us from the cathedral to the Pommery, a champagne production house. “This place looked like Disney world,” Burg said. “The main part of it was walking through its caves. It was like a maze.” Passing through the Pommery doors, we were guided through the mismatched lobby featuring ancient wooden barrels and installations of

neon lights. A few more steps and we were fed through a single set of double doors leading us down into the Pommery caves. This is where the champagne sits, for years, and decades even, while the wine ages and develops its carbonation. Footsteps echoed through the cave-like cellars as we moved from branch to branch. Piles of dusty, web-covered glass bottles rested along the walls. Our guide described the process of champagnemaking, as well as the differences between it and normal, flat wine. What makes champagne different from wine is natural carbonation. But to create the carbonation, the wine is fermented a second time. To simplify the process, there are three steps. Make the wine, add a carbonation solution, then remove the byproduct of said solution. Once the wine is created, the guide said it is poured into the champagne bottle and a solution of levure, or

yeast and sugar, is added. The bottle is then corked and left to ferment while the yeast consumes the sugar and creates the carbon dioxide needed for carbonation. Once the wine has fermented, the bottles are inverted into the “A” shaped racks so the now dead yeast can settle into the neck of the bottle. When the bottle is finished, the settlement is removed and the cork is put back into the bottle. This is all done quickly to keep as much carbon dioxide in the bottle as possible. At the end of the day we climbed up the steps back into the lobby and found rows of filled flutes of champagne awaiting us. “It was kind of nice knowing that it was down there being tended to,” Burg said. “The cellar part was actually cooler than the champagne tasting.” audperki@indiana.edu

through 12. “It is the only theater company of its kind in Bloomington because it provides quality theater arts education,” she said. “There are year-long programs. So there are workshops, and summer camps and performances.” Kinder Stages is a new program in development by Stages Bloomington, which Burton said will be geared toward educating children in preschool through first grade with theater activities. She said the program will go beyond the experiences other community theater organizations offer. “The Cardinal has kids in shows, the IU Opera has kids in shows and that is a learning experience, but its not arts education based on kids’ developmental

levels,” Burton said. She explained how Stages Bloomington seeks production staffs that are knowledgeable on how children learn and how to give them the best experience in theater arts education. Stages Bloomington promoted its upcoming performances of “Seussical” by having ticket giveaways on the weekend of Dr. Seuss’ birthday. Though the show is based on children’s books, Burton said the show will appeal to audiences of all ages. “You don’t have to be a kid to like this show,” she said. Christian Kemp

Nikki Glaser to perform at Comedy Attic tonight FROM IDS REPORTS

Comedian Nikki Glaser will perform several shows at the Comedy Attic this weekend. Performances will take place at 8 p.m. today, Friday and Saturday, with additional shows at 10:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Tickets range from $8 to $14 and may be purchased on the Comedy Attic’s website. Glaser, who began performing stand-up comedy when she was 18, started her career at comedy clubs in Kansas City and St. Louis, Mo. “Performing at the gritty

clubs in both cities taught me how to be a road comic before I was out on the road,” she said in an interview with Westword, an alt-weekly newspaper in Denver. “The rooms were drunk and smoky, and the crowds were down to hear anything. They weren’t uptight or trying to be cool. It was a great place to start.” Glaser has since appeared on several TV shows including “Last Comic Standing,” “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” and “Conan.” Last year, she co-hosted the late night MTV talk show “Nikki & Sara Live” with fellow comedian Sara

NIKKI GLASER AT THE COMEDY ATTIC Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday at 10:30 p.m. Schaefer. Since the show’s cancellation, she has spent much more time on the road. “I have the skill set to try new jokes in the middle of a set and not have their inherent weakness derail me,” she said. “I don’t feel the same pressure to be perfect up there that I did in the beginning.” Rachel Osman

BREWSTER ROCKIT: SPACE GUY!

I went into “Divergent” expecting another tacky young adult romance dropped in some silly sci-fi world with no real depth. But, I was pleasantly surprised. Tris Prior lives in a post-war society that is split into five factions. There’s Erudite, the intelligent; Candor, the honest; Amity, the kind; Abnegation, the selfless; and Dauntless, the brave. The day before choosing which faction she will live in, Tris takes an aptitude test to find where she should belong. Tris tests into multiple factions, a rare occurrence called Divergence. Divergents are seen as a danger to society, as they are unpredictable and don’t belong to just one faction. For that, Tris could be killed. Without a true answer as to where she belongs, Tris decides at the last second to join Dauntless. Dauntless serves as the military. Tris and the other initiates are subjected to rigorous training, led by the gruff and mysterious Four. Director Neil Burger dealt with this transitional period in a refreshing way. Instead of montaging the training, he lets it play out. We see the combat training, the knife throwing practice and the gun exercises. It’s easy to forget there is a bigger story arc. Erudite is plotting to overthrow Abnegation, the governing body of the city, and it plans to use Dauntless to do its dirty work. As a Divergent, Tris is immune

interesting suggestion. Make a loving pact. Words come easily. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 6 — Aim for innovation, in your approach. This invention takes work and financial backing. Ask for more and get an encouraging response. Update your technology. Prepare to use what you’ve learned. Listen to a joyful song. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 7 — A new understanding arises at home. You can find what you’re looking for. Check your local outlet. Let people know what you need. Your sweetheart believes in you. Love finds a way. Express your feelings aloud.

to Erudite’s mind tricks and it becomes her responsibility to stop them before her former faction is eradicated. This is not another sci-fi epic where little is lost and everything works out in the end. There is so much tragedy and death in “Divergent” you would think “Doctor Who” and “Sherlock” showrunner Steven Moffat had something to do with it. You can’t have a young adult fantasy without love. There is an obvious physical attraction between Tris and Four, but their personalities clash. Their relationship forms through time spent together training and literally getting into each other’s heads. What’s nice about their relationship is that Tris in no way is dependent on Four or what he thinks of her. She remains the strong, independent heroine, a rare occurrence in the young adult genre these days. Shailene Woodley’s performance as Tris has changed my mind about the actress. Tris undergoes a massive character development, transforming from a reserved civil servant to a fearless soldier. Woodley had no problem keeping up. Theo James was meant to play the boy with a dark past. Four is a complicated character who struggles with the trauma of his past while wishing to be more than what his faction represents, and James was great in portraying that. Kate Winslet was the cherry on top of a great cast. She brought her best bitch face as Jeanine, the Erudite leader trying to overthrow Abnegation and purge the city of Divergents. “Divergent” is a brilliant film that other young adult franchises could take a lesson from. It’s a thrilling ride down to its final seconds.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 6 — Accept encouragement on your latest adventure. Make repairs and keep gear in working order. Invest in newer technology. Friends offer excellent suggestions, and keep you balanced. Inspiration comes in the strangest places! Write up the idea. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is an 8 — Get help building your dream. Confer with your team, and share information. Curiosity leads to answers. Keep asking questions. Use what you’re learning. Discover a benefit. Try a new angle, and results get profitable.

reviews ‘Happiness Is’ Taking Back Sunday B+ Emo is a funny genre. There isn’t a decided-upon canon of classic records. Most bands who fit the genre’s conventions insist they don’t. And depending on who you ask, the scene either started out as recently as Fall Out Boys’ 2005 album “From Under the Cork Tree” or as far back as Rites of Spring’s 1991 LP “End on End.” Taking Back Sunday doesn’t see itself as part of the current emo revival. No surprises there. The band’s sound, even in its early days, never had much in common with modern twinkle daddies like Algernon Cadwallader, Snowing or Dads — Sunday’s is a brand of emo that fits squarely in with poppy, radio-friendly vibes of early 2000s emo, not the raspy and noodle-y stuff of the ‘90s Midwest scene. Taking Back Sunday also never

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8 sound check before the show. But Tuffcurls doesn’t like that band. Despite their differences, they succeed in picking songs their audiences will like. The audience screams along to the chorus of Taylor Swift’s “I Knew You Were Trouble.” During Wilson Phillips’ “Hold On,” one concertgoer jumps up and down and waves his arms. Unlike most concerts, you’ll rarely see someone taking a picture with a phone at a Bench Press show. Rather, the audience engages in the performance, dancing and smiling and turning to their friends to sing their favorite parts. The audience has a great time at the band’s shows, but so do the band members. They all say that Bloomington is their favorite place to play.

there were complete flops like shaky camera, which is never forgivable. Never. Director Harold Cronk tried to go for interesting cuts to better the flow, but they didn’t work in his favor. There’s no sense in going from a student challenging the creation

really went away. The band released a new album every couple years or so, the last of which was a tepid self-titled affair that sounded like the boys had lost whatever fire had made their first few records such cathartic fun. “Happiness Is” fairs better. “Stood a Chance” is an absolute blast of a song and one hell of a single with some hilarious lyrics. “A body like a welcome mat” might be my favorite put-down since Gareth Campesinos! likened himself to an avocado. It’s the sound of a band that, despite its age, still knows how to have fun. Another highlight, closer “Nothing at All,” is an acoustic ballad that falls just short of classic acoustic pop-punk closers a la “Soco Amaretto Lime” but still manages to tug at the heart strings. It ain’t all pogoing fun and mascara-slathered melodrama, though. “Flicker, Fade” sounds like a Manchester Orchestra B-side with a weaksauce chorus that’ll make you wish you hadn’t deleted “Liar (It Takes One to Know One)” off your iPod. “Beat Up Car” features a

dragging verse, repetitive chorus and remarkably plain lyrics. But for the most part, these missteps are few and far between. If you were ever that kid in middle school who memorized that whole back and forth lyrical fight Lazarra and Brand New’s Jessie Lacey had going — the one that starts “So is that what you call a getaway?” — you could do worse than this album. Sure, it isn’t the masterpiece that the current emo revival needs — though I’d argue The Brave Little Abacus made that record twice, and no one cared either time — but a band like Taking Back Sunday that’s already made some great records and classic songs doesn’t really have anything left to prove. Ultimately, “Happiness Is” makes a decent argument for mainstream emo, standing as decent a place as any for us to remember what it was like when school sucked, the Warped Tour was supreme and music didn’t have to tie in with one’s credibility.

“That’s not bullshit. We love coming here,” Masterson said. Celebrity said Bloomington has a certain “je ne sais quoi” that puts it above other frequent tour stops. They’ve made friends here. They’ve spent tons of money at the record stores in town, and they love the food at Village Deli. But even though they’ve grown fond of the places along Kirkwood Avenue, it’s not the stores and restaurants that makes Bloomington their favorite place. It’s the people, especially the IU students who come to the Bluebird for their shows. “Kids are smart here,” Ryder said. “They get our sense of humor really well.” While people in other places might get confused by their references to memes and the Internet, Masterson says that doesn’t happen in Bloomington. “We just kind of do whatever

we want,” Tuffcurls said. “We don’t have to explain it to them.” IU students stay in touch with the band even after they graduate. The band has started playing at weddings of IU alumni. At shows in Chicago, Celebrity said IU alumni make up a significant chunk of the audience. Above all, the band just wants to party and have fun. They say Bloomington is a good fit for them because IU students share that sentiment. And that alternate universe? It turns out to be closer than they first thought. “I’m trying to think of the alternate universe where there’s no consequences and we can drink all we want,” Ryder said. But Celebrity already knows the place. “You mean Bloomington, Indiana?” he said. The band all agrees.

of the universe to a woman in her office sobbing over her computer and then back to the student. The scenes didn’t complement each other or relate. Cronk’s other mistake was dramatizing two situations that didn’t need it, using the cheesiest techniques in the book. There was no need for slow motion or awful aerial shots. When you take God out of the equation, this was a film about

rebellion. There were kids being told that something they loved and believed in was wrong. Instead of giving in, they challenged it. This film isn’t for the godly or cynical. It presents an interesting argument on the existence of God but doesn’t touch on a level that would change minds. There is no conclusive answer. Everything comes down to a choice.

‘Mars’ returns to Neptune

BY BRYAN BRUSSEE

COURTESY PHOTO

Kristen Bell, Jason Dohring, Enrico Colantoni B+ One Kickstarter campaign and $5.7 million later, everyone’s favorite millennial private investigator is back to doing what she does best, spouting witty one-liners and solving mysteries in her hometown of Neptune, Calif. We open with Veronica living in New York City, interviewing with highpowered attorneys for law jobs — hello, Jamie Lee Curtis cameo — and dating her college boyfriend-turned NPR employee, Piz. But Marshmallows, the name loving coined for the “Veronica Mars” obsessed, wouldn’t stand for Ms. Mars steering clear from danger and mystery for too long. Logan Echolls, one half of the LoVe (that’s Logan and Veronica for nonMarshmallows) relationship, is accused of murdering his pop-star girlfriend, Bonnie DeVille, and he’s left with no choice but to call upon his P.I. ex to find out what really happened.

Hence, Veronica is back in Neptune just in time for her 10-year high school reunion. How convenient for the plot. Despite a quick, twominute intro at the film’s beginning to usher in viewers who’ve never seen an episode of “Veronica Mars,” this is really a movie designed for the fans. And why shouldn’t it be? After all, it was the fans who put up their own money to see this film made. But that isn’t to say it isn’t an enjoyable mysterious and character-driven affair for the average viewer. Bell, who’s since blossomed into quite the film star with break roles in films like “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” and the animated hit “Frozen,” has all the snark and charm that made Veronica so refreshing during her three season arc on television. In the film’s opening minutes, she pops an imaginary cap off of her middle fingers and flashes it to an immature guy interviewing for the same job as her. Oh, how we’ve missed you, Veronica. Another of the film’s highlights is Veronica’s pitch perfect relationship with her father, the ever-wonderful Enrico Colantoni. The two

trade barbs laced with love like no time has passed since the show went off the air in 2007. Despite the fact that Veronica is whip smart and more capable than 90 percent of all the male protagonists you’ve ever seen, we’re still subjected to the romantic triangle between Veronica, Logan and Piz. Both Team Piz and Team Logan will have their moments to shine, and it’s important to resolve that story line the TV series left open. Hopefully, if this isn’t the last we’re to see of Veronica, romance will take a backseat to the show’s more interesting points, like Veronica’s friendships and aptitude for solving crimes. “Veronica Mars” probably isn’t for you if you’ve never heard of her before. But the feature film has managed to pack in an interesting, if light, mystery in with plenty of jokes for Marshmallows both old and new. If nothing else, stay for the enigmatic Kristen Bell, who provides a near infinite amount of reasons why we need more Veronica tales in the future. BY DANE MCDONALD
