Moore found guilty of murder By Nyssa Kruse nakruse@iu.edu | @NyssaKruse

Johnny T. Moore was found guilty of three charges Friday, which includes murder for the Aug. 28, 2016, death of Bloomington resident and heroin dealer Brittany Sater. “Yes,” Sater’s mother said loudly enough that she was chastised by the bailiff, as the verdict was announced. Moore’s head fell back as he heard the word, “guilty,” and he cried after all three convictions were read. Moore, 32, faces 45 to 65 years for the murder conviction and additional time for his other two convictions for burglary and robbery resulting in serious bodily injury. His sentencing is scheduled for May 8. Because Sater was an addict, her mother, Deanna Hawkins,

Archie Miller reportedly has his coaching staff finalized. The new IU coach will bring former Dayton assistant Tom Ostrom, former Drexel head coach Bruiser Flint and former UCLA assistant Ed Schilling into Bloomington as assistant coaches, according to a report from Jeff Goodman of espn.com. Goodman also reported that former Dayton director of basketball operations Bill Comar will fill the same role for IU. Ostrom has been an assistant to Miller since 2011 at Dayton and got his first coaching role for Billy Donovan at Florida in 1998. Ostrom served as the Gators’ administrative assistant and video coordinator for five seasons and spent his final two years with the program as an assistant coach. Ostrom went on to join John Pelphrey at South Alabama for three seasons and followed him to Arkansas in 2007 for four more years. In his final year with the Razorbacks, Ostrom helped bring in the seventh-rated recruiting class in the country before joining Miller at Dayton. Flint, a Philadelphia native, will get his first coaching gig in the Midwest. A 1987 graduate of St. Joseph’s, Flint became an assistant at Coppin State following his playing days. Two years later he joined current Kentucky head coach John Calipari’s staff at Massachusetts as an assistant in 1989. Flint was part of five consecutive Atlantic-10 titles at UMass and made five consecutive NCAA tournaments and one Final Four under the direction of Calipari. When his head coach left for the NBA in 1996, Flint took over and led the Minutemen to two consecutive NCAA tournament appearances. SEE STAFF, PAGE 4

beating of drums and voices of other Native American singers. She was one of many Native American dancers who traveled to IU for the First Nations Educational and Cultural Center’s sixth annual Traditional Powwow. Williams traveled from Oneida, Wisconsin, to share the beauty of her culture with

students and community members in Bloomington and other tribes from across the United States and Canada. Williams described her dance as graceful and subtle. She said the purple color of her cape was special to the Oneida SEE POWWOW, PAGE 4

Octavia Spencer discusses industry diversity By Alyson Malinger afmaling@indiana.edu | @aly_mali

Educate, entertain, enlighten, escape. These are the qualities that award-winning actress Octavia Spencer defined as her template when picking a role within the entertainment industry. Spencer spoke Sunday in the IU Auditorium as part of Union Board’s lecture series. As the auditorium filled, many audience members skipped and jumped as they were escorted to their seats. Her lecture, “Real Honest: An Afternoon with Octavia Spencer,” discussed typecasting in Hollywood. “I don’t want to constantly be reminded of my race and gender at every turn,” Spencer said. Attempting to take race out of the mix, Spencer said she thinks if people would allow others to stop labeling them they would find a new peace of mind. “If the character doesn’t have something about them, if they are too bland on the page, then I’m not going to play it,” Spencer said. During the lecture Spencer shared some of her own experiences with issues of diversity and gender discrimination while in the acting field. Spencer played the role of a nurse 16 times from 1996 to 2013 and won her 2012 Academy Award for portraying Minny Jackson, a house maid, in the film “The Help.” “I choose projects rather than

roles,” Spencer said. She said playing roles that tell her she’s black are unnecessary because she already knows her identity. Also, she said she hopes to inspire feeling comfortable in one’s skin rather than just be an inspiration. “If I don’t treat people the way I want to be treated then I don’t sleep well,” Spencer said. “And I need as much sleep as I can get because I have insomnia.”

Spencer said her favorite part of her job is that it doesn’t feel like one. “When it starts feeling like a job then I’ll have to stop,” Spencer said. The event was structured as a question-and-answer, led by the assistant director of lectures, Alexis Burr. Audience members had the opportunity to tweet questions using #realhonest so their particular voices were being heard as well. The identities that made her up

as a woman, African-American, orphan and Oscar winner, among others, were all addressed within the questions asked. “Even at the university level when you are just starting there can be typecasting in all levels of the arts,” said Jake McCutcheon, an audience member and sophomore at IU.
