Weather forecasts are a high of 74 degrees and a 20 percent chance of rain. IU came into last season with expectations and hopes of being a bowl team. But a defense ranked 121st in the nation in total defense prevented the team from playing in a bowl game. The team finished one win short of postseason play, ending the year 5-7. Fans will see the unveiling of a new defensive system with a new defensive coordinator at the helm.

Mac DeMarco to headline Culture Shock BY ALISON GRAHAM akgraham@indiana.edu @AlisonGraham218

WIUX will present Culture Shock, an outdoor festival and concert, at noon Saturday in Dunn Meadow. Culture Shock has been a WIUX event since the 1970s, Events Director Jen Samson said. The events were smaller in scale, but WIUX has upheld the old tradition and expanded the event. “We are all huge supporters of local music, and that is a key element of Culture Shock every year,” Samson said. The committee plans to have a bounce house, art wall, food trucks and other local vendors set up. An event DJ will play music to keep the crowd entertained until 4 p.m., when a lineup of bands and musicians will begin playing. The first band featured until 4:30 p.m. is Little Timmy McFarland of Flight 19. IU student Daniel Talton started the band and originally performed by himself. The band expanded

Experimental musician Drekka will perform from 4:45 to 5:15 p.m. Drekka’s Facebook page describes his music as “hushed, cinematic, ambient, ethereal and industrial.” Three-member pop band Sleeping Bag will take the stage from 5:45 to 6:15 p.m. The Bloomington-based group is made up of Dave Segedy, Tyler Smith and Glenn Meyers. Sleeping Bag is scheduled to perform in Indianapolis, Bloomington and Muncie later this month. Rapper Tunde Olaniran will perform from 6:45 to 7:15 p.m. at Saturday’s festival.

A same-sex couple from Northwest Indiana, one of five couples in a federal lawsuit fighting the state’s ban on gay marriage, stood in court Thursday arguing for their marriage to be recognized in Indiana. Amy Sandler and Niki Quasney, who live together in Munster, Ind., with two children ages 3 and 1, were originally wed in Massachusetts. However, because of their Indiana residency, the conditions of the marriage are void by the state, making the couple ineligible for the benefits Indiana married couples would otherwise receive. A federal judge ruled Tuesday that the couple’s marriage will be temporarily recognized by the state. SEE MARRIAGE, PAGE 6

met to brainstorm bands that are becoming more popular and recently released albums. “He was always up there on the list,” Samson said. “People who hadn’t heard him before would go listen and research and come back the next week loving him.”
