What you need to know before Little 500 week More parties mean more sexual assaults. Bloomington Hospital responds with advice and resources. BY SAMANTHA SCHMIDT schmisam@indiana.edu @schmidtsam7
The week of Little 500 is known as a “reproducible mass disaster” at the IU Health Bloomington Hospital Emergency Department. The department calls in its entire staff to tackle the large influx of patients that fill its waiting room during the latter part of the week, Emergency Department Director Dr. Drew Watters said. A room is reserved specifically
for drunk students. The students often have to wait six to eight hours before treatment because they are too drunk to speak coherently to nurses. “There’s only so many beds in the ER,” Watters said. “There’s just no place to put them.” Alcohol and sexual assault High amounts of alcohol consumption often occur hand-inhand with higher numbers of sexual assault, Watters said. A large
portion of the sexual assault cases the hospital receives involve IU students. They often don’t know how much they’re drinking or where they’re drinking, said Brandy Summers, sexual assault nurse examiner. They lose control, and this puts students at much higher risk of sexual assault. Regardless of the location or circumstances, nurses urge patients to come to the hospital as soon as possible after the
sexual assault. Going to the hospital if you have been sexually assaulted If a patient arrives within 96 hours of a sexual assault, they can receive a sexual assault forensic examination, often called a “rape kit.” Without forensic evidence, it is more difficult for prosecutors to press criminal charges following a sexual assault. Time is of the essence, Watters said.
Streep honored Meryl Streep receives honorary degree in IU Auditorium BY ALISON GRAHAM akgraham@indiana.edu @AlisonGraham218
Attendees murmured with excitement as they waited to catch a glimpse of acclaimed actress Meryl Streep. The crowd was hushed by the sound of four trumpet players. The platform party filed onto the stage of the IU Auditorium, and the crowd erupted into applause and cheers the moment Streep appeared on stage. Audience members rose to their feet. Streep smiled and sat down, placing her hand over her heart and nodding to the audience. IU President Michael McRobbie stepped up to the podium. “Today, we honor Meryl Streep.” The audience cheered again. IU Auditorium was host to Meryl Streep and the conferral of her honorary doctoral degree from IU. Almost 3,200 seats to the event sold out within three hours of ticket sales opening. Almost all of the seats in the auditorium were filled to witness Streep’s ceremony and a conversation between her and Barbara Klinger, professor of film and media studies. McRobbie presided over the ceremony and introduced Streep and her many accolades. Streep has been honored with three Academy Awards and eight Golden Globes, McRobbie said. McRobbie said the way she delves deep into her roles allows us to not just be movie-goers, but witnesses. “By disappearing into her roles, Meryl Streep has made the world visible to us, and all of us are truly grateful,” he said. After the ceremony, Streep and Klinger sat on two cushioned chairs SEE MERYL, PAGE 6
A victim who receives a forensic examination is not required to report the sexual assault to the police. Forensic exams not given to the police are stored for a year under a specific case number. If the DNA is collected and stored, a victim can later decide to report the case. “You’d rather collect it and not regret it,” Watters said. “Reporting is a huge step in the process to regaining independence.” SEE ASSAULT, PAGE 6
Journal to publish undergrad student research BY DANI CASTONZO dcastonz@indiana.edu

Meryl Streep speaks with professor Barbara Klinger about how she became invovled in acting. "I was like every little girl who got up and wanted everyone's full and total attention. Most of us grow out of that."
IU students and faculty are working to create the first published journal of undergraduate research on campus. The IU Journal of Undergraduate Research will feature undergraduate student research from the natural sciences, social sciences, humanities and pre-professional schools. The goal is to provide an official forum for undergraduate research, offer more opportunities for publication and recognition of students in all fields and improve IU recruiting and retention,according to the IUJUR mission statement. “It’s everywhere and it’s incredible,” said Kristie Hsu, co-founder and editor-in-chief. “But the problem is there is no place for the plethora of things going on here to get fully recognized in a unified forum.” The first volume of the IUJUR will be published May 2015, and Hsu said it plans to publish one volume annually. IUJUR will begin accepting student submissions of research Oct. 13. Hsu is a sophomore and has worked on this project for the last year. She said she noticed other colleges had journals for their undergraduate research, something IU did not. “We want to make sure these accomplishments are recognized,” Hsu said. During the past two semesters, Hsu said IUJUR has recruited around 40 associates, forming four student boards that have laid the groundwork for the publication. SEE RESEARCH, PAGE 6
Judge’s decision in same-sex case doesn’t change Ind. marriage law BY MICHAEL AUSLEN mauslen@indiana.edu @MichaelAuslen
A federal judge’s decision to grant the first legal same-sex marriage in Indiana won’t change state law, but a local representative says it could be the first step in ending a long-lasting political debate. On April 10, United States District Court Judge Richard Young temporarily ordered the state to recognize the marriage between two Northwest Indiana women who were married in Massachusetts. The order refers only to the two women, one of whom is terminally ill, so existing state statutes banning the recognition of same-sex
marriages aren’t affected by the judge’s order. The women are two of many suing the state in an effort to reverse state statutes banning same-sex marriages. “There is no change in legal requirements for granting marriage licenses,” Public Information Officer Bryan Corbin from the attorney general’s office said in a statement. “County clerks are still prohibited by law from issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples.” By May 8, a preliminary injunction hearing will take place. Attorney General Greg Zoeller’s office will continue to represent the state in the process, Corbin said in a statement.
Yet State Rep. Matt Pierce, DBloomington, says it’s a step toward ending a debate that has dominated the legislature this year. “All it does is point out the fact that the issue is ultimately, probably, going to be solved by the federal courts,” Pierce said. “Federal judges are ruling in favor of same-sex marriage.” This conflict between judges and state legislatures changing marriage policy has been at the center of the fray about a proposed Indiana constitutional amendment to solidify the existing same-sex marriage ban. For 10 years, Indiana legislators have grappled with the SEE MARRIAGE, PAGE 6

Bike-lending program to debut this spring BY SARA KATE NASH sarknash@indiana.edu
A new biking program called Crimson Cruisers is coming to IU. This program functions like a library where students, faculty and staff can rent a bike for free for an entire semester. “It’s called a ‘bike library’ intentionally, like how you check out a book,” said Dustin Smucker, leisure programs coordinator for IU Outdoor Adventures. “It’s open to the public, the IU community. The checkout is free as long as the book comes back and there’s not coffee stains on it.”
IUOA is the operational hub for the pilot program, Smucker said. They took 12 bikes that were bound for landfills and repurposed them to be safe to ride. These bikes will be rented out to riders directly from IUOA, housed in Eigenmann Hall, just like the rest of the inventory they rent out. The only difference is these bikes are free and can be rented for an entire semester. Organizations including the Office of Sustainability are contributing to this project alongside IUOA. The office provided guidance and hired intern graduate assistant Henri Venable to facilitate the program.
Campus Bus Services has also provided some insight and direction, Smucker said, and IU Parking is involved with the funding of the program. For now, the program is just a pilot. “The goal is for the pilot to run during the summertime, and, depending on the response and the success of the pilot during the summer, our goal is to scale it up in the fall,” he said. Venable said they want to increase the number of bikes in time for the return of students and faculty to campus in the fall. “The hope is to make Crimson Cruisers a perma-
nent and thriving institution,” he said. Previous proposals to bring the program to IU were not implemented because they were too expensive, Smucker said. “The idea for bringing a bike share program to campus really started rolling in 2011, and interns have been refining the concept since,” Venable said. “The idea eventually shifted from traditional kiosk models to the bike library system we’re implementing today.” Similar programs at Portland State University and the University of Kentucky inspired Crimson Cruisers, Venable said.
Smucker said the plan, a low-cost variation of bike sharing, is appealing because it is sustainable. Venable explained the program is sustainable because it recycles bikes that would have been thrown away, and the initiative provides an opportunity for community involvement. “The majority of students and employees live less than 5-10 miles from campus, but 71 percent of employees and 23 percent of off-campus students drive alone to campus,” Venable said. Today, the student, faculty and staff ambassadors will be selected for the pilot program.
Ambassadors are being chosen from applicants that submitted their applications online to be a part of the pilot. Bikes will be distributed April 22, when the pilot will officially begin. The 2012 Transportation Demand Management Survey showed there was a need for transportation improvements with bicycles, which could help decrease traffic and increase wellness in the Bloomington community. “The bike may not be a magic bullet,” Smucker said, “but it could be one step in making some strides in addressing those concerns.”

Throughout 2013 and what has passed of 2014, more than 20 IU faculty members have received grants through the Indiana Clinical and Translational Science Institute as seed funding for their research. Professor Kenneth Nephew in the medical sciences program and professor Yves Brun in the department of biology are two IU faculty members who received grants last fall. “It’s a really good way to get some seed money to do research,” said Yvonne Lai, the Indiana CTSI navigator in Bloomington of the grant program. Lai also said the grants are rather competitive. Brun received a grant to pursue research on how bacteria create microfilms, or layers of bacteria stuck to surfaces, such as the layer of slime that clings to the rocks in a creek bed. He works with Arezzo Ardekani of the University of Notre Dame, whose expertise lies in physics and engineering. Brun said he and Ardekani are looking to see how the creation of a microfilm starts by looking at how bacteria know to stick and the mechanism for sticking. “To stick or not to stick, that is the question,” he said. Brun said much of the value of CTSI is that it brings together disciplines, as it has with him and Ardekani. Ardekani developed a computational way of looking at the creation of microfilms from which she can construct models. This can lead to more testing, which leads to more
models. There are practical applications to Brun’s work as well. Microfilms are more resistant to antibiotics and can build up on medical implants such as catheters. Increased knowledge could also lead to the creation of adhesives that can hold to wet surfaces. “Bacteria solved that problem a long time ago,” he said. Brun said he hopes his research can lead to a larger grant from the National Institutes of Health. Nephew’s research has received exactly that. He has looked into the same question for about 14 years. “There’s no FDA-approved, second-line therapy for ovarian cancer, but unfortunately most women develop resistance to the currently used therapies,” he said. Nephew works alongside Jean-Cristophe Rochet from Purdue University. The survival rate for ovarian cancer has not changed much in the past three decades, Nephew said, and the fact it has the ability to become drug resistant has a lot to do with this. “We’re working with a sense of urgency,” he said. Nephew said the results thus far have been promising and have been well received. While the CTSI grant is a two-year program, he said he hopes to have their continued support. His NIH grant will last for five years. He said seed-funding grants like CTSI’s are critically important to continuing necessary research. “It’s very important,” he said. “I can’t say enough how important it is.”
IU professor receives international award for his third published poem collection FROM IDS REPORTS
An IU professor has received the 2014 John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship for his work in poetry, according to an April 16 IU press release. Adrian Matejka, an assistant professor in the Department of English at IU-Bloomington, is the only IU faculty member to win the award this year, according to the release. The John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation
Fellowship Competition was established in 1925. It recognizes those in the United States, as well as in Canada and Latin America, who have proven an exceptional creative ability in the arts, according to the release. His award-winning collection of poetry, “The Big Smoke,” tells the story of boxing legend Jack Johnson (1878-1956), the first African American heavyweight champion.
“These recognitions are wonderful affirmations for ‘The Big Smoke’ and Jack Johnson’s story,” Matejka said in the release. “The Big Smoke” is Matejka’s third published poetry collection. His other two works are “The Devil’s Garden” and “Mixology,” both of which have also won awards. “The Devil’s Garden” was the 2002 winner of the New York/New England Award from Alice James Books.

Local man awarded human rights honor BY KYLIE AYAL keayal@indiana.edu @kylieayal
When about 60 residents were going to be removed from their governmentassisted housing, David Metheny decided to do something about it. Following his efforts, the Bloomington Human Rights Commission announced Metheny as the 2013 winner of the Bloomington’s annual Human Rights Award. Metheny is a Bloomington resident and was chosen for his advocacy of the Arcadia Court apartment complex’s low-income and handicapped residents. The Human Rights Award is given to those who have made contributions or improvements to civil rights, human relations or civility in Bloomington. Metheny is a tenant of Section 8 housing, which is government-assisted housing for those who fall below the poverty line, as well as those who are disabled and elderly. He discovered the apartment complex was in violation of the Federal Housing and Urban Development program by having tenants who qualify under Section 8 of the program sign a sixmonth lease, rather than a one-year lease as per requirements. Shortly after moving into the apartment complex in early 2012, Metheny was informed that Section 8 tenants were required to leave by the end of the six-month lease because of increases in utility and water bills. In a notice sent out to Section 8 tenants in fall
2012, the owners of Acadia Court, Elon Property Management, explained to the tenants that Section 8 housing requirements do not allow the tenants to pay more than the voucher amount. Therefore, all 60 tenants needed to move out. “They were just going to let us all be thrown out and go, and I wasn’t going to,” Metheny said. “I was going to fight.” After six months of persistently fighting for the rights of Section 8 residents, and only two weeks before the end of his lease that would require him to leave his apartment, Metheny was able to get the apartment complex to change its leasing regulation. With Metheny’s efforts, Elon Property’s Section 8 residents are now not responsible for increases in the cost of their water bill, and they have been given one-year leases. But many residents left after receiving the notice. Only 26 residents remained, along with Metheny. “I’m just sad that these older people here, more handicapped than me, had to find other places to move, and it upset their lives when they had a place here,” Metheny said. ”There was no call for it.” Susie Rimstidt said she nominated Metheny for the award because of the impact he had on many of the tenants in the same situation. “He affected the lives of dozens,” Rimstidt said. Metheny said he continues to work toward improving situations for Section 8 and handicapped residents,
he said. “I think there should be a law or something that would be for those people in town who do run places,” Metheny said. “That is, they take a Section 8 person and then decide they’re not going to take it anymore. They have to grandfather those people in until they leave.” He said he is concerned with the lack of apartments in Bloomington that have Section 8 or a large enough ratio of handicap housing, he said. Metheny’s efforts have been recognized by Bloomington and those residents he has helped. “I think they are very impressed that someone that has challenges themselves, way beyond the call of duty, addressed an issue that no one was addressing, and saved housing for quite a few low-income people,” said Barbara McKinney, director of the Bloomington Human Rights Commission. Working to spread awareness of the issue to Indiana Legal Services and through the Herald-Times, Rimstidt said Metheny promoted change to how Section 8 residents were being treated. His recent award shows the progress he has made, she said. Metheny said he will continue to advocate for Bloomington residents that qualify for Section 8 housing and who are handicapped. “It’s just a losing battle because there are so many of us and so little places to rent,” he said.

Road closures to start next week for beginning of I-69 construction FROM IDS REPORTS
The construction of a new interchange for Interstate 69 will begin causing closures on State Road 37 south of Bloomington. Beginning on or after Monday, roadwork will require temporary daytime lane closures between Fullerton Pike and Dillman Road. Closures are expected to last through the end of April, according to a press release. Indiana Department of Transportation contractor Crider & Crider plans to replace pavement along the shoulders of SR 37.
Crews will work on shoulder pavement improvements and two temporary median crossovers. The crossovers will be used to shift southbound traffic across the median to share the northbound lanes during construction of the new interchange. This will allow one lane of traffic in each direction to be maintained during this restriction period. The traffic shift is expected to begin sometime after the beginning of May, dependent upon weather, equipment and materials. The traffic signal at SR 37 and Victor Pike will remain in full operation, and
all traffic at this intersection will be maintained throughout construction. Once the permanent restrictions are in place, no left turns will be allowed at the intersections of Rockport Road and That Road. The $29 million contract with Crider & Crider includes construction of the interchange at SR 37 and 1.8 miles of new interstate roadway. Lane closures and traffic shifts in this area will continue through the end of 2014. Rebecca Kimberly
Two men rob apartment at gunpoint FROM IDS REPORTS
Two unknown men robbed three victims at gunpoint in an apartment on Bloomington’s north side. The two suspects entered the apartment through an unlocked door Tuesday night, Bloomington Police Department Sgt. Joe Crider said. The victims described the men as white, wearing jeans and dark-colored shirts.
Armed with a handgun and a long gun the two suspects rummaged through the apartment while the three victims were in the living room. An undisclosed amount of money was stolen, Crider said. Several other items were stolen as well, but the police are not releasing that information because it is believed the suspects were not wearing gloves. Police hope to find
fingerprints on the items to identify the suspects, who are believed to be in their twenties to early thirties with medium builds. Two of the victims were residents, one a 25-year-old man and the other man age 27. A 36-year-old woman was visiting them at the time of the robbery. There have been at least seven armed robberies in Bloomington this year. Dennis Barbosa

The tragedy of Indiana’s marriage equality moment
EMMA WENNINGER is a sophomore majoring in English.
After a security leak, hacking and the Heartbleed Internet bug, it seems like the cybersecurity system is falling apart. New reports say the NSA may have been exploiting the Heartbleed bug to gain access to private information. While the NSA has denied these allegations and, personally, I think it sounds like a conspiracy theory, one thing has become abundantly clear — no matter who had access to what, cybersecurity has to become a bigger priority. The seemingly constant stream of leakage and information misuse is starting to become extreme, to the point where I no longer trust putting information on any website anywhere. What is unfortunate, and scary, is that we are well into the digital age. We are all online, our information can be found and hacked and companies require that we create profiles to use their services without creating a secure system that lasts longer than three years. Private organizations and institutions like IU and Target and programmers of source software such as OpenSSL need to recognize first and foremost that relying on outdated services is not going to protect their consumers. Instead of sending everyone new debit and credit cards and releasing passive warnings after the exposure occurred, there needs to be an in-depth understanding of what the dangers of the web are and how we can address them. IU students didn’t find out about web crawlers until after three had seen our information. Target didn’t discover the security breach until after customers were affected. If we are using these massive tools, we need to understand the potential dangers of them first. To shop for anything online, the consumer is required to create a profile and provide their address, payment info and other personal information. These accounts are locked into place, they do not disappear after a set amount of time and they are essentially sitting ducks for identity thieves. OpenSSL, the security program affected by the Heartbleed bug, is linked to two-thirds of servers in the U.S., used by all of them to ensure cybersecurity. It boggles the mind that no one realized this would be a prime target for hackers, and thus might have led someone to make it stronger or at least limit the amount of information that could be leaked. In short, more needs to be done. The fact that security organizations and big companies cannot protect their clients and customers indicates the technology is changing, and the security needs to change with it. The next time I have to change my passphrase, I want it to be the last. ewenning@indiana.edu @EmmaWenninger

ILLUSTRATION BY LILY FENOGLIO | IDS
WE SAY: It’s shameful it takes someone’s imminent death for us to act. It took a terminal ovarian cancer diagnosis for the state of Indiana to recognize a same-sex couple’s marriage. To say “better late than never” would be tactless, but it’s also tactless that Indiana state legislators are still actively attempting to constitutionally ban same-sex marriage in our state. Amy Sandler and Niki Quasney are a same-sex couple from Munster, Ind. They have been together for 13 years, and they have two children. Quasney was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2009. Thankfully, United States District Judge Richard Young ruled in favor of the couple last Thursday. Now, Indiana must recognize the couple’s
marriage before Quasney passes away. Though this notion is cosmetic in the sense that it legally makes these four individuals a family before a parent dies, it also makes the legal proceedings that follow a death much smoother than if Sandler and Quasney’s marriage was not recognized by the state. Sandler and Quasney are part of a larger lawsuit looking to overturn Indiana’s marriage ban. Their personal fight is coming to a close, buttheir cause and their ultimate dream will continue on as same-sex Hoosier couples fight for their relationships to be recognized by their state and their country. It’s unfortunate it came
down to this, but it does seem like a small victory in a state where laws regarding homosexuality and samesex couples are quite less than even subpar. Because, remember, the state of Indiana has no laws against hate crimes. It’s no secret the Indiana Daily Student Editorial Board has many members who support marriage equality and lean left, and many identify as queer. You probably already guessed the tone of this editorial before you read it. You also probably know you’d be hard pressed to find a staff editorial in the recent past that wasn’t overwhelmingly pro-LGBT in some way. So we, the IDS Editorial Board, are begging our state
representatives to stop making us write this editorial. There are only so many ways we can point out that it is now 2014, and we only have so much longer to legalize same-sex marriage in our state before we look like total idiots in history books years from now. Sandler and Quasney’s victory is a beautiful outcome of a horrendous situation. Let’s hope their struggle wakes up our representatives to the fact that equality shouldn’t come in somebody’s final moments, but should be spread over their entire lifetime. opinion@idsnews.com @ids_opinion
LIFE, POLITICS AND COFFEE
Wheel of Misfortune If you are an IU student, no doubt you know the tragic fate of Julian Batts, a recent contestant on Wheel of Fortune. With the chance to win $1 million and a car, he messed up both times, once with the mispronunciation of “Achilles” and the other a wild guess. Because of these mistakes, he has been the target of countless barbed comments, insults and generally crappy treatment from nearly all parties. I find it absolutely remarkable that people are going so far as to denounce not only his competence as a human being, but the effectiveness of our entire educational system — all because he messed up on a game show.
Just because Batts messed up does not give people the right to deem him unworthy. Yes, he made a mistake that many of us would not have. Yes, he made it on national television. But we cannot judge another person when we do not know much, if anything, about his life. A person’s intelligence is not judged by his performance on a game show. Intelligence is judged within academic, business and social situations. His scholarships suggest he is plenty intelligent. Let’s play the devil’s advocate, though. Let’s say he isn’t intelligent, and, going all the way to paltry extremism, let’s say he received those scholarships based on a clerical error. Should we say this, let
us also say he is a human, deserving of respect and understanding. He is human, and these are a few of many mistakes he has made. Like all of us, he has committed stupid mistakes that he will remember days, weeks, even years from now, and the only thing stopping him from reaching back through some rip in the time-space continuum and hitting his past self for being an idiot is the very fact he cannot undo what has been done. The only difference between him, me and everybody who is reading this right now is that, hopefully, cameras were not filming us when we made our mistakes and they broadcast them across the nation. Above all the judgment,

I find it shocking that many people are aghast that Batts does not feel embarrassed about his performance. They go on to claim he doesn’t recognize what he did wrong. They believe holding one’s head up high and acknowledging one’s mistakes is tantamount to stupidity. They believe refusing to be embarrassed is equivalent to ignorance. I have always thought that was dignity. allenjo@indiana.edu @IAmJoshAllen

It’s so close I can almost taste it. Little 500 Week is literally days away. For some, it may begin this Sunday and run all the way through April 27. I salute you brave souls, as I always end up falling on my sword and taking a few days off from the week’s festivities. But something struck me as I began thinking about the Little 500 week of my senior year at IU. I’ve never been to the actual men or women’s bike race. For years, I’ve commemorated an event I’ve never even witnessed. It’s like celebrating Christmas when you’re not even a Christian. Well, I suppose I do that every year. But this is totally different. So I decided to do a little research on the event, and I was actually quite surprised at what I found out. The first Little 500 race took place in 1951, during which 7,000 students attended and $6,000 was raised to support student scholarships. Adjusted for inflation, that amount would provide more than $50,000 in scholarships today. More than 60 years later, more than 25,000 people travel from all over to attend the Little 500 race to raise more than $1 million for undergraduate scholarships. Full disclosure — I had absolutely no idea the race raised money for student scholarships until I decided to write this column. Discovering that Little 500 week is actually about providing education to deserving students is really, really cool. I’m not here to shame the students who will ride off the rails next week and party their faces off in lieu of attending class. I plan to be among you and to enjoy my last Little 500 as an IU student as I have for the last three years. But don’t do so without acknowledging what this upcoming week is really about. I didn’t for three years, and now I’m embarrassed. Little 500 week is about players who have trained all year to ride in this race. It’s about countless students who will receive aid in paying their college tuitions. It’s about a Hoosier tradition that’s lasted more than 60 years and inspired an Academy Award-winning movie, which I’m yet again embarrassed to say I haven’t seen. Take the time to have fun next week, and don’t beat yourself up over one missed class or assignment. But do so knowing what you’re partying for. And take the time to actually attend the race, because you only have so many chances to do so as a student. Take it from somebody who has missed three and isn’t planning on doing the same this year. wdmcdona@indiana.edu

Junior Tim O’Conner celebrates with teammates after his game-winning hit during IU’s 1-0 victory against Western Kentucky on Wednesday at Bart Kaufman Field.
Hoosiers win with walk-off BY EVAN HOOPFER ehoopfer@indiana.edu @EvanHoopfer
The entire IU team was ready to vault over the side of the dugout and swarm its teammate. In a game tied 0-0, junior centerfielder Tim O’Conner came to bat with two outs in the 10th inning. Junior right fielder Will Nolden was on second base after a stolen bag, ready to score the winning run. To put the luck on O’Conner’s side, a majority of the team turned its caps inside out in a fashion known as a “rally cap.” After fouling off two pitches with two strikes, O’Conner delivered. He hit a ball over the first baseman’s head, landing just fair which allowed Nolden to score. The team ran out of the dugout and jumped on O’Conner, creating a massive Hoosier dog pile. “It was awesome,” O’Conner said. “I just kinda got mauled by all the guys. It was a good feeling.” In a pitcher’s duel, IU (22-11, 8-1) was the first to draw blood in its matchup
with Western Kentucky (1918, 7-8 in the Sun Belt conference). O’Conner’s RBI was the only run of the day in the 1-0 victory, the first of the walk-off variety this season for IU. O’Conner came into the game hitting just .172 in 64 at-bats. Even though the defensive specialist’s bat hasn’t been clicking this season, IU Coach Tracy Smith said he didn’t think of pinch-hitting for O’Conner. If he didn’t come through and the game went to an 11th inning, Smith would need O’Conner’s glove in center field. “Timmy is our best center fielder,” Smith said. “That was his game to win regardless. If we didn’t score, we were going to have to go out there and play defense.” The IU pitching staff picked up the struggling offense, which only registered three hits on the day. Brian Korte, Thomas Belcher, Jake Kelzer and Scott Effross combined for the 10-inning shutout of the Hilltoppers. Korte got the start and went five innings, giving up only six base runners. After

The IU softball team (1330-1, 4-10 conference) won the first game of Wednesday’s double-header against instate rival Ball State (24-15, 4-2 conference), but fell victim to a big hit during the final inning of the second game. With runners at first and second base, Ball State second baseman Emily Dabkowksi hit a three-run home run to left center field, solidifying the 6-3 victory. After the series split, IU Coach Michelle Gardner said she was impressed with how her team hit. “We really hit the ball well today,” Gardner said. “I think we had good pitching, although we gave up some hits. I’m proud of the team. They really came out and played.” IU won the first game 3-2. In the bottom of the third inning, IU pushed three runs across the plate. Freshman second baseman Erin Lehman started the rally, reaching first after a hit to right field. Following junior centerfielder Brianna Meyer’s walk, senior shortstop Breanna Saucedo sent a bunt to the circle. After an error on the throw to first, Lehman scored from third base. On the following at-bat, Saucedo stole her 15th base of the season. When Ball State catcher Shelbie Scamihorn made the throw to second, the ball went past the glove of sophomore shortstop Selena Reyna, which allowed Meyer to score from third. With Saucedo on second, freshman first baseman CaraMia Tsirigos hit a single to right field, driving in Saucedo to give IU a three-run lead. Ball State struck back in the top of the fourth. After the Cardinals’ left fielder Jennifer Gilbert reached first on a fielding error, third baseman Audrey Bickel hit a two-run home run to left field, cutting the IU lead to one run. With two outs and a runner on first and second in the top of the sixth, IU junior pitcher Lora Olson used a four-pitch at-bat to get out of the jam. “At that point, I had a lot of innings under my belt,” Olson said. “I was in a groove and
made sure to keep hitting my spots. I went at each batter like I did in the early innings.” Both teams were held scoreless in the final two innings. Olson threw her fourth complete game of the season, striking out five batters while allowing just one earned run. With the win, her record moves to 5-13 this season. Leaving runners on base plagued the Hoosiers during the second game. In the loss, IU stranded six runners. Ball State used the fourth inning to blow the game wide open. The offensive onslaught began with a single off of Dabkowski’s bat that went past a diving Saucedo. Gilbert stepped up to bat following Dabkowski, hitting a two-run home run over the left field wall. After a Bickel double off of the left field wall, Scamihorn sent a ball to shallow right field. Bickel scored on the play off of a fielding error. In the next half inning, IU began to chip away at the lead. With two outs, IU sophomore catcher Kelsey Dotson sent the first pitch of the atbat over the left field wall, reducing the Ball State lead to two runs. The solo home run is Dotson’s fourth of the season. Right fielder Natalie Lalich started the bottom of the fifth inning with an infield single. On the next at-bat, Meyer drove a ball down the left field line for an RBI double, cutting the deficit to one run. Facing a full count with two outs, designated player Michelle Huber beat out a throw for an infield single, driving in Meyer to tie the game. The Hoosiers had an opportunity to gain the lead in the top of the sixth. After senior left fielder Jenna Abraham reached base on a single up the middle, she was thrown out attempting to steal second base for the first out of the inning. After preventing IU from scoring in the sixth, the Ball State offense used a three-run seventh inning to officially put the Hoosiers away. The Hoosiers will be back in action when they travel to Northwestern (24-11, 6-6 conference) for a three-game series.

NFL is America’s king, but heading toward treacherous waters If there’s anyone left who still thinks Major League Baseball is America’s pastime, they need to check again. In today’s America, the National Football League is king. Look at revenue alone — the NFL is head-and-shoulders above every league in the country, with a $4 billion advantage in total revenue last year versus the next closest league in the MLB. For TV revenue, the discrepancy is just as large at $5 billion, again a $3.5 billion advantage versus the rest of the major sports leagues. It raked in more viewers last year than the MLB, NBA,
NHL and MLS combined. The Super Bowl is the most-watched event on television every year. Even the corniest advertisements are treated like something worth attention. Its prestige prevents you from realizing you spent eight hours of your Sunday grabbing beer and watching superhuman millionaires slam into each other. To say the NFL is struggling at this point is silly. The league has its own network and more merchandising and branding opportunities than Bob Marley in Jamaica. It’s a money-making machine. In February, the NFL announced CBS would get

exclusive rights to eight earlyseason games to air Thursday nights. CBS will also receive the Thursday night games that air late in the season on NFL Network, along with a double-header for Saturday in week 16 of the season. Though this seems like a solid idea at first, some believe the expansion of TV coverage could damage the NFL’s product in the long run. Dallas Mavericks owner and IU alumnus Mark Cuban, for instance, had some pretty strong words about NFL’s direction. “I think the NFL is 10 years away from an implosion,” he said. “When pigs get fat, hogs
get slaughtered. And they’re getting hoggy. When you try to take it too far, people turn the other way.” It’s easy to dismiss Cuban at first. After all, he owns an NBA team, so he’s a little biased. On the other hand, he makes a good point. This expansion could lead to over-saturation of the NFL’s market. To put it simply, one of the biggest assets the league has is the fact they only play 16 regular-season games per year, effectively turning Sundays into an event where many Americans plant themselves in front of a television for hours on end watching nothing but football.
The movement toward more games on weekdays could tarnish the “magic” around Sundays during the fall and winter, especially since weekday games invariably draw lower viewership than Sunday games. Couple that with 24/7 sports coverage and daily programs on ESPN like “NFL Live,” and the viewer base might feel inundated with the sport to a point where interest begins to decline. Athletes and teams alike are forced under a microscope. Even at this time of the year, during the offseason and before the draft when not much happens, we never get

a break. Player stock rises and falls based solely on media speculation. We keep hearing about the long-term physical dangers of playing professional football. It’s a national story whenever a player gets into legal trouble. The NFL may be poised at the top of America’s sports world now, but it’s got to be careful — for such a fat bird, that is one precarious perch. aknorth@indiana.edu

Klinger’s first question was about how Streep came to the acting profession. “I think I was probably like every other girl who puts on a princess dress and expects everyone to pay full and total attention,” Streep said. “And most of us grow out of that.” The audience erupted into laughter until Streep continued to say she had always been interested in people and wanted to work as an interpreter for the United Nations after her mother drove her to the headquarters in New York. “I thought it was vain to want to be an actress,” Streep said. ”Plus, I thought I was too ugly to be an actress. Glasses weren’t fabulous then.” Streep received her undergraduate degree from Vassar College and decided to apply to drama school at Yale. She signed up for law boards in her third year because she still didn’t believe she had the right to be an actress, Streep said. “Many of my friends woke up at 3 years of age and said, ‘I have to be on stage.’ I never had that,” Streep said.

“I’ve always been an omnivore, and I actually fell into the profession that fed all my appetites.” Streep said she slept through the law boards because she had a performance the night before, and the rest was history. She graduated and quickly got work. She said the day she paid off her student loans was the happiest day of her life. After graduation, Streep appeared in several theater productions and later made the transition to film. She said every role is different and requires something new. “The whole movie happens in a moment between you and who you’re working with,” she said. “You have no idea what they’re going to bring, so the preparation only goes so far. You have to throw away all your preconceived ideas.” One way she connects with her characters is by being empathetic for the person she is playing. “It is possible for people of very diverse backgrounds to feel the feelings of someone not remotely like them,” Streep said. “Even crossing the gender line and the age line, even all the things that divide us. You can still
feel what that person feels. That’s such an interesting, underused quality human beings have.” That gender line has been clouded in more recent times, Streep said. Now, women lead big corporations like Sony and Universal. “The business is changing,” Streep said. “That’s a really big difference from when I started. There was almost an impenetrable line of suits.” Her advice for women acting today is to not worry too much about their weight. “Girls spend way too much time thinking about that,” she said. For all actors, Streep advised finding the thing that’s weird about them and using it to their advantage. Directors pick up the people who are different, Streep said. This coming year, Streep will appear in three different films — “The Giver,” “Into the Woods” and “The Homesman.” Despite all of the fame and awards, Streep said she feels lucky for her opportunities. “I feel very, very guilty when the litany of my awards is trotted out because I feel like there are
many women my age, in our industry, who are plenty capable of the work I’ve been doing,” Streep said. “The only reason I have a career at 64 is because I had hits late in life.” The event ended with a discussion of Streep’s role in the 2015 movie, “Suffragette,” about the heavy violence that occurred during Britain’s women’s suffrage movement. Streep watched the only video available of her character, Emmeline Pankhurst. Because she had never seen herself on camera or video, Pankhurst’s movements were not self-aware. “She has a demeanor you will never be able to achieve,” Streep said. “You’ve all been photographed and know what you seem like. You’re used to your outer performance.” Streep found the video interesting because nothing was designed about Pankhurst’s movements. “You could see the difference between people now who are so used to seeing themselves as objects and the people who are so in the gestalt of their bodies,” Streep said. “It taught me something about how to strive for unselfconsciousness.”
Young, R-Indianapolis, said during the final debate about the amendment, called House Joint Resolution 3. “I’d rather have 6 million people decide this than one judge.” Before HJR 3 could become law, the General Assembly would have to approve it again before
presenting it to the public on a ballot. Legislators haven’t had much discussion about how the court case could factor into the political debate because they aren’t in session right now. But Pierce said by the time the General Assembly considers the
issue again next session, he thinks the courts might already have settled the debate. “It may be the case that no matter what Indiana puts in its constitution, the federal courts my very well rule that it violates the federal constitution, which supersedes state law,” he said.

The nurse takes the patient to a specific room — room 19. It’s where the hospital keeps all items necessary for sexual assault forensic examinations. He or she tells the patient she is sorry this happened, that it is not the patient’s fault and that the recovery process starts now. The patient is in control. The nurse then asks the patient to tell them what happened. Where did it take place — in a bed, a car, the floor of an apartment? Were you physically coerced — were you restrained, shoved, abducted, choked? What were you wearing at the time, and what types of sexual acts did the perpetrator commit? “When we ask you, ‘Did they bite you?’ we’re not saying, ‘Did you bite back?’” Summers said. “We’re looking for where we can find DNA.” Summers realizes that when a victim describes sexual assault, it’s like he or she is being assaulted all over again. Watters said he tries not to push patients to tell him what happened. “I don’t care what happened sexually,” Watters said. “I will assume everything was done. My perspective is on the wellness of the body.” The patient is then asked whether or not they would like to report the sexual assault to the police. If a patient decides not to, Summers said she aims to find out why. Sometimes, it’s because they knew the perpetrator well. Other times it’s because they don’t trust the legal system. Every patient copes with the stress of a sexual assault differently. “Some just want to get it over with, some are hysterical, some are laughing,” Summers said. “The patient who is laughing and giggling is treated the same as the person who is crying hysterically.” The patient is offered the chance to work with Bloomington-based Middle Way House, a domestic violence program and rape crisis center, to receive support and legal advocacy. Next, the nurse will begin the sexual assault forensic examination process, if the patient decides to proceed with it. She takes a blood sample from the patient and then begins collecting external DNA. “We start least invasive to most invasive,” Summer

Once students submit their research, the Student Editorial Board will review their papers. The Faculty Advisory Board will review the ones with the highest scores and select articles for publishing. The Student Editorial Board will meet with the students whose work was selected and help them edit and finalize their papers. After final faculty approval, their research will be ready to publish. Janit Pandya, one of the three original founders of IUJUR, said this is valuable for undergraduates specifically because while graduate level and faculty professional level have their own mediums of publishing their research, undergraduates do not. IUJUR is for them. “Undergraduates are the people who will be later on

said. If it’s been less than six hours since oral contact, the nurse flosses the patient’s teeth and collects swabs from the mouth. She takes finger nail scrapings, in case the patient was able to scratch the perpetrator. The patient is asked to comb his or her own hair to look for hairs that don’t belong. The patient is then asked to remove all clothing except undergarments, if they’re willing. The nurse asks to keep the patient’s underwear as evidence, providing a replacement pair. She looks for any visible injuries, and she uses a special black light to search for bodily fluids on the skin. She then performs the genital exam, gathering DNA from the patient. The next steps After all evidence is documented, the nurse offers the patient medication for STD prevention. If it’s been within about three days, the nurse offers emergency contraception, also known as Plan B. She then helps prepare the patient for recovery. If the patient is a student, the nurse helps arrange for a follow-up with the Sexual Assault Crisis Service through IU Health Center’s Counseling and Psychological Services. “If they call while they’re here, they’re more likely to go to SACS,” Summers said. The IU Health Center also offers two trained nurses who can perform sexual assault forensic examinations, but they are only available during business hours. Most importantly, Summers urges students to be careful and responsible. She tells students never to leave friends by themselves at parties. “We’ve had some people say, ‘She was fine, so we just left her at the party,’” Summers said. “They’re leaving her in unknown territory.” She encourages students to seek blunt consent before having sex. Physical cues are not enough — both individuals must give verbal confirmation. But if a sexual assault does happen, Watters said the best thing a patient can do is respond as quickly as possible. “If something happens, it is not the end,” Watters said. “It is just the beginning.”
filling in those roles, so we want to make sure we kind of bring that similar structure to them at the undergraduate level, and make sure it’s something they can actively participate in and be a part of,” Pandya said. Today, IUJUR will have a professional mixer from 5 to 6 p.m. in the Union Street Center auditorium to formally announce the release of the journal. IUJUR representatives will give more information about the journal and launching the official website. Hsu said anyone from any field is welcome to come. “I think undergraduate research is really kind of looked over and it’s something that IU should be recognized for,” Hsu said. “I’m hoping that when people first come to campus, they’ll be excited about the opportunities available to them.”

When an actress has 18 Academy Award nominations, it’s kind of hard to pare down her essential roles. But in the name of Meryl Streep, I will do my best. Manhattan (1979)
Silkwood (1983)
Angels in America (2003)
It’s Complicated (2009)
Streep played Woody Allen’s ex-wife in this black-and-white romantic dramedy about a writer dating one woman and in love with another. It’s astounding she didn’t receive one of her many Academy Award nominations for playing Jill, a young woman who’s writing a confessional book of her marriage and dating a woman named Connie.
Never one to take a break, Streep followed up her Best Actress win the next year with another nomination in the same category for her role as Karen Silkwood. Based on a true story, the lm follows a plutonium plant worker who died in a mysterious car accident after arranging to talk to a New York Times reporter about the plant’s misconduct with radiation exposure.
Streep played no less than four roles in the HBO miniseries adaptation of Tony Kushner’s Tony-award winning play about homosexuality and the AIDS epidemic. Streep won her second Primetime Emmy award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or Movie.
Writer/Director Nancy Meyers writes for women better than anyone in Hollywood, so it’s no surprise her collaboration with Streep is comedic perfection. Reviews were mildly mixed, but viewing the movie is worth it just to hear Streep say the line “I like a lot of semen. Always have.”
A Prairie Home Companion (2006)
The Iron Lady (2011)
In the nal lm of Academy Award-nominated director Robert Altman, Streep showed off her vocal prowess as Yolanda Johnson, one of last members of a family country music act. Lily Tomlin and Lindsay Lohan play Yolanda’s sister and daughter in a little seen but critically adored lm.
Streep won her third Academy Award for playing former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Though the lm itself is pretty meh, there’s no denying how amazing Streep is in the role. Plus, she donated her entire salary to the National Women’s History Museum. So, yes, she’s better than all of us combined.
Kramer vs. Kramer (1979)

Here comes the infamous ‘Purple Wedding’ Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey, Maisie Williams

A If you haven’t seen Sunday night’s episode of “Game of Thrones” yet, beware — you might turn purple with shock. The show, in one of its most unexpected moments yet, elected to ramp up the action in “The Lion and the Rose,” the second episode of its fourth season. If you just marathoned season 3 to get caught up, you might want to take some extra time to catch your breath. Maybe you’re still recovering from the infamous Red Wedding. If this is the case, this episode’s Purple Wedding may give you a serious case of whiplash. Those who watched the show as it aired had the luxury of almost a year in between seasons to recover from last season’s now-infamous Red Wedding. With “Breaking Bad” now out of the picture, “Game of Thrones” seems poised to take its place upon the Iron Throne of the TV kingdom. Its 60 minutes per week are almost always riveting from start to finish, but devoted fans will notice the show is particularly spectacular when George R. R. Martin writes the episode. The novelist has been responsible for penning some of the show’s most pivotal moments, including the second season’s gargantuan

“Blackwater” episode. Martin knows his characters well. The episodes he writes feature extended, dialoguedriven scenes. And even though “Game of Thrones” has many storylines covering thousands of miles, Sunday’s episode abandoned most of them, devoting half its runtime to the royal wedding in the capital of King’s Landing. The long scene allowed several of the show’s major players time to interact and develop. Included were fanfavorite Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage), head-butting dominatrices Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) and Margaery Tyrell (Natalie Dormer) and promising newcomer Oberyn
Martell (Pedro Pascal), aptly nicknamed the “Red Viper.” Absent from the episode were Jon Snow (Kit Harington) and Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke). But the King’s Landing scene, like Joffrey’s goblet, was filled to the brim with sultry political tension in the form of expertly crafted dialogue from Martin. Sunday’s episode seemed to be kick-starting the season’s action even before the huge catalyst near the end. Roose Bolton (Michael McElhatton), who took control of the North after a slew of Starks lost their heads, makes moves to secure his power. But Bran Stark (Isaac
Hempstead-Wright), Winterfell’s young heir, moves further and further out of Bolton’s reach as his storyline delves deeper into intriguing mysticism. The dense plot of “A Storm of Swords,” the third novel in Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire” series, was split up over seasons three and four of the show. And though the recent weddings might seem climactic to viewers, don’t expect to come back off the edge of your seat any time soon. The characters might say the war is over, but the storm is still brewing. BY JACOB KLOPFENSTEIN
“Are you ready? Because I want you to pay attention. This is the beginning of something.” And with those words began the final season premiere of “Mad Men,” the long-running 1960s advertising agency drama that catapulted Jon Hamm into superstardom and launched AMC as a bona fide cable network. Yes, both “The Walking Dead” and “Breaking Bad” have acquired huge followings for AMC and cemented themselves as leaders in this new “golden age” of television. But “Mad Men” has always done something more. It’s a subtle show — a polished piece of art that’s grounded more in character than plot. Throughout the years there have been narrative twists, like Peggy’s season one pregnancy or Don’s firing from his agency last year. But it’s personalities like Don Draper, Peggy Olson, Joan Harris and Roger Sterling we keep tuning in for. It’s now 1969, and Don Draper (Jon Hamm) is living bicoastal. His wife, Megan, has taken up residence in the Hollywood hills and seems poised on the brink of celebrity. This is a very different Don than we have seen in any other season. He’s unemployed and, after last season’s confession to his three children, no longer actively hiding his less than ideal childhood. An unexpected exchange on the airplane ride home may even have viewers wondering if the old Don is dead
and gone. But it’s this shake-up that’s given the show’s final season that great pit of uncertainty it needed. Don’s no longer invincible, and he’s no longer top dog. That would be Lou Avery, who popped up for two episodes last season and is Peggy’s new boss at Sterling Cooper & Price. Suffice it to say Avery is no Don Draper, and Peggy and Avery aren’t seeing eye to eye on a pitch for Accutron watches. Peggy’s ascension throughout the show’s course from secretary to copy writer and de facto creative director has been the secret sauce that has made “Mad Men” such an important show for feminism. It’s hard to watch Peggy struggle up the food chain, but when she’s played with such gusto by Emmy-nominee Elisabeth Moss, you can’t complain. The same goes for Joan, who’s working overtime to keep the Butler Footwear account for SC&P. For a show centered on so called mad men, it’s the ladies that seem to be getting their dues this year. Unfortunately, that sentiment does not extend to Don’s ex-wife, Betty, or his daughter, Sally, who are both absent from the season premiere. Hopefully we will see more of them as the season progresses. “Mad Men” has always been shrouded in secrecy. Previews for the next episode rarely give much away, and celebrity guest stars are constantly kept under wraps. But it’s this streamlined approach to storytelling that makes it must-see television. Don’s story may be winding down, but we’ll be on the edge of our seats until series creator Matthew Weiner closes on that long-awaited final scene he’s had planned for “Mad Men” for years.

A capella groups to perform BY AMANDA MARINO ammarino@indiana.edu @amandanmarino
After years of singing at IU, eight former members of Straight No Chaser and Another Round are keeping the dream alive. The a cappella group Gentleman’s Rule, along with vocal group Under the Streetlamp, will perform at 8 p.m. today in the IU Auditorium for the first time. The performance is the inaugural show of a 50-city concert tour that will take the two groups around the country. Brent Mann, a member of Gentleman’s Rule, said the entire group is looking forward to the performance at IU. “It’s obviously our home away from home,” Mann said. Last week, the group sang in front of the auditorium, providing passers-by with a preview of what will come tonight. Mann said the group spent time singing with Another Round, who acted as their liaisons on campus. “It’s so fitting that Gentleman’s Rule is kicking off this tour in Bloomington, especially at the auditorium,” he said. Will Lockhart, another member, agreed IU is a home for the group. “We all went to IU,” Lockhart said. “We met because we were all, at some time, a part of Straight No Chaser.” Lockhart acknowledged that some members were part of Another Round after the name change, though most were in it before then. “I’ve had about six or seven years performing with the core of these guys,” Mann said, saying that he had previously sung with about six of the members. “They’re all my college buddies.” One year after Lockhart
jump, was seriously injured when found by police Wednesday morning. Johnson’s penis was recovered and he is currently being treated at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

Gentleman’s Rule, an all IU alumni a cappella group, performed a sneak peek April 11 in front of Showalter Fountain of their upcoming performance at IU Auditorium.
graduated, Gentleman’s Rule was created. The group auditioned for NBC’s “The Sing-Off,” but after they didn’t make the show, they thought they would be parting ways for good. They were wrong. Lockhart said they reassembled about a month later and got back to work. Last fall, Gentleman’s Rule shot its first PBS special, which featured several songs that will be performed tonight. The group sings a variety of music from artists such as Bill Withers, Justin Timberlake, Gavin DeGraw and One Republic. The Straight No Chaser fan base from the original 1996 group gravitated toward Gentleman’s Rule, Lockhart said, but its fans are also a lot of younger people who have found something they love in the group’s sound. “A cappella as a genre has really grown in the past few years,” he said. “I think we make it a point to do what’s relevant.” Lockhart said they have music for everybody’s taste,
and though one can’t exactly play it at a rave party, there is definitely something great about what they do. “What is cool about our group is that all eight of us sing solo,” Lockhart said. “You’re gonna hear all types of sound.” This variety, coupled with beatboxing rhythms and smooth ballads, are part of what brings in a wide range of audience members, Lockhart said. Mann said the group’s sound always changes because each member has a distinct solo voice. Lockhart said the group stays true to the song, but at the same time puts its own spin on it. The arrangements the group does match the singers’ voices very well, Lockhart said. People have a certain expectation of what they will see in the group, but he said it often breaks that expectation and provides the audience with something completely different. Gentleman’s Rule is touring with Under the Streetlamp, a group compiled of leads
from the Broadway musical, “Jersey Boys.” “Under the Streetlamp will come on, and with a huge band,” Lockhart said. Both Lockhart and Mann addressed the complexities of a cappella music and the bond that is required to make it great. “With a cappella, there’s definitely very little room for error,” Lockhart said. But because the group has known each other for years, they know how to work together, he said. “There is definitely a brotherhood aspect to our group,” Lockhart said. “We’re a team.” Mann also said the group benefits from seeing the audience, and admits that at times it feels like the group is the one watching a performance as listeners get lost in the music. “When we’re up here, it’s very natural,” Mann said. “It’s very organic.” Lockhart encouraged people to attend even, if they are unfamiliar with the group. “I promise you you’re going to have a fun time and see something you like,” he said.
The IU Art Museum will present the Lilly Lecture Competition from 1 to 5 p.m. Friday in the Henry Radford Hope School of Fine Arts. Four students will discuss specific pieces from the museum’s collection for 2030 minutes each. Participants were instructed to choose whichever piece they wanted to research and compose a paper and lecture to present their findings. IU student Sam Tavlin found out about the competition when she was studying abroad in Barcelona, Spain, last summer. She saw information for the competition on the museum’s website and created a one-page proposal last fall to conduct year-long research about the etching “Male Nude” by German artist Oskar Schlemmer. Her research consisted of viewing the artwork through two different theories from German philosophers. One theory explores the idea of the separation between objects and the human body. However, when humans use certain objects, they become almost a part of the body itself, Tavlin said. The second theory is called the alienation effect. It states that when an audience does not get the chance to empathize with a character onstage at a theater production, they are forced to look at the production with a critical eye instead of getting lost in the story. Tavlin applies these two theories to the piece she selected for the lecture competition. “I found that it’s one of
those pieces that you look at,” she said. “Although it’s very simple, at the same time you can’t look away.” Tavlin also said she liked the challenge of this particular artwork because very little research exists on it. The same uncertainty appealed to IU student Eric Beckman, who will also give a lecture Friday. Beckman selected a fragment from a Roman sculpture that was part of a Roman religion called Mithraism. The fragment depicts a bull with a dog jumping up against it and would have served as the main focus for a place of worship in Roman culture. Through his research, Beckman has traced the origins of the piece back to the 19th century, when it was found at the bottom of a riverbed in France. Beckman followed the piece’s whereabouts until it finally reached the museum in 1985. His research led him to discover that the symbols on the piece itself correspond to different constellations and astronomical bodies. The piece depicts a certain time of the year and provides a road map for the Mithraic belief in the ascension of the soul after death. “These types of scenes are extremely rare,” Beckman said. “There’s only 700 of them. To have as much information as possible just seemed like the right thing to do.” In addition to Beckman and Tavlin, Anne Kneller will present a lecture on the museum’s “Seated Hermaphrodite,” and Rachel Schend will provide an interpretation of the Bilingual Eye Cup.

AUDREY PERKINS| IDS
Freshly baked bread sits on a cooling rack at 6 a.m. inside a bakery on Rue Daguerre, a well-known market street, in Paris. AUDREY PERKINS is a junior majoring in journalism
It’s 6 a.m. The streets of Paris are empty, except for the few stragglers pulling themselves to work for an early shift. On Rue Daguerre, a well-known market street, the lights of local bakeries start to flicker on. In particular, a brown-framed bakery’s lights come on, coating its gilded exterior paint in a warm glow. A few minutes later, the smell of freshly baked bread wafts from the building, tempting all that pass by. Bread, an item almost synonymous with France, really does give the country its identity. And what gives bread its identity is its baker. Not all baguettes are made equal. However, what really should be highlighted is what makes the baguette so special. Yes, in the United States you can find French bread just about anywhere. But in France, there are
strict rules that regulate what goes into a baguette. Namely, flour, water, salt and yeast. The price, size and shape are also controlled to maintain its traditional identity. I have found three things differentiate an authentic baguette from one you would find in the American supermarket — a good crust, a chewy soft center and holes. To find out how these three things are achieved, I went to talk to the baker across the street from my school, which is my favorite bakery. Farid, the baker, said the type of oven makes the baguette what it is. The dough is cooked at almost 500 degrees Fahrenheit, so it is easy for the bread to dry out while cooking. What saves the flavor and texture, he said, is steam. Gesturing to the giant tiered oven hidden in the back of the store, he pointed to a round, lit button. This is how you turn on the steam, he said. Giving it a push, a wheezing sound
started and the clear windows of the oven fogged up. By turning on the steam once for a few seconds, he said, you coat the exterior of the bread dough with water. Combined with the extreme heat, that layer of water sears the exterior of the dough immediately while the middle remains raw. This way, as the baguettes continue to cook, the outside creates a protective crust to keep the bread from drying out and the bread stays soft in the middle. Most importantly though, all bakery bread is handmade. As a result, every store’s bread will be a bit different. Whether it is the amount of time the bread cooks or is kneaded, the end result is subtle variations in the taste of the bread. For Farid, that is the most important. “Ça,” he said. “C’est l’experience.” That, is the experience. audperki@indiana.edu @AudreyNLP

‘Draft Day’
Kevin Costner, Chadwick Boseman, Jennifer Garner D+ Sports are a cheap shot into making a film emotional. They begin with some sort of adversity, such as race or socioeconomic status. Then the audience is propelled into a moving story of brotherhood or sisterhood as the team finally unites to defeat the opponent in an epic game that comes down to the final seconds.
Well, “Draft Day” is no “Remember the Titans” or “A League of Their Own.”“Draft Day” is a film for the pure-hearted football fangirl, with about as much depth as the turf the sport is played on. Kevin Costner plays Sonny Weaver Jr., the general manager of the Cleveland Browns. Sonny is going through a lot. His father just died and his girlfriend, Ali (Jennifer Garner) is pregnant. But most importantly, it’s Draft Day, and as the general manager, it is Sonny’s job to select the future players for the Browns. Tired of doing what everyone expects or asks of him, Sonny decides to take some risks that could put his and the team’s future
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the scariest director of them all? Writer-director Mike Flanagan showcases his ability to saturate and condense fear into audiences’ pores in his new film “Oculus.” Although the title means “eyes” in Latin, what Flanagan tries to manipulate is not our vision but our minds — the best place for a demon to perch. The film begins with a flashback of Tim Russell (Brenton Thwaites), who is accused of murdering his parents 10 years ago. When Tim is released from protective custody in his 20s, his sister Kaylie (Karen Gillan) invites him to an experiment designed for unveiling the real cause of their family tragedy, a nefarious mirror with supernatural forces. Haunted by her childhood nightmares, Kaylie tracks down the mirror and discovers many deaths have befallen the mirror’s previous owners. Determined to smash the mirror, the siblings soon realize the demon unleashed by the mirror is adept at distorting the truth with hallucinations. Kaylie and Tim’s childhood memories in the old house are woven into their movements at present with flashbacks. Truth and illusion are synched by the visceral and violent collision between time and space. As fact and delusion intertwine, Flanagan’s subtle narrative strategy
in jeopardy. I actually enjoyed “Draft Day” for some reason I still can’t fathom. I was entertained throughout the film and satisfied with the ending. But when I broke it down, I had to admit it was a bad movie. “Draft Day” is about delivering an authentic look into the NFL draft. The entire film takes place throughout the course of the most stressful day in the NFL. The film begins agonizingly slow and builds speed throughout Sonny’s day up until the time of the draft. Non-sports fans are isolated in the film’s overuse of football jargon. And if you don’t understand how the draft works, you will be endlessly lost.
B+ “Silicon Valley,” a new show that premiered April 6 on HBO, has worked its claws into raunchy humor and technological reign. We’re introduced to the main character Richard Hendrix (Thomas Middleditch) at a “ragger” with his friends, where a performing Kid Rock is said to be the poorest rich man at the party. While working for a tech company Hooli and living out of an “incubator,” Richard develops a compression algorithm for his website Pied Piper. The idea of the site, an application that allows musicians to check if their work infringes on any copyrights, seems inferior, but the algorithm is something everyone wants. Each of Richard’s friends struggles with a level of antisocialism outside the realm of code that’s tough to beat. Richard becomes laughable in his awkward wardrobe of skinny khakis and hoodies over collared shirts. His inability to combat his timidity stands as the focal point of the character who needs to step up in order to start his company. Commander of the incubator Erlich Bachman (T.J. Miller) provides the party humor of “Silicon Valley.” His stoner-attitude familiarity creates the hallmark of all the dilemmas of being young: to work or to party? Elrich’s smugness despite achieving particularly nothing provides him with a king of the nerds position. The rest of the men of Elrich’s incubator consist of Big Head, your run-of-the-mill coder, Dinesh, almost a carbon copy of “The Big Bang Theory’s” Raj, and Gilfoyle, a Satanic programmer. This band of misfits works to help Richard start Pied Piper from the ground up. While the humor remains upbeat, some holes in the system remain. The lack of named women in the show — despite a entrepreneur’s assistant and a stripper — can potentially harm the possibility of a female audience and, to say the least, is horrifying. Though the show would make you think there are fewer women per square foot in Silicon Valley than men, the real region’s population is split in half. As expected, the men of the tech world assume there’s simply no place for noteworthy women in these stories. Hopefully as the series pans out, more females will be added to the cast, but chances are slim.
shows its hand. The moment the audiences are confused is the tipping point when they’ll be immersed in the characters’ anxiety, and of course, infinite horror. Flanagan has written his best script since “Absentia.” “Oculus”’s bone-dry wit, neither twee nor lurid, is a delicate expression of fear. Unlike usual horror movies, “Oculus” is not awash in chill-driven music. Quite the opposite. It’s sparing in both instrumental sound and the human scream (Yes, we are talking about a horror film). Marvelously, the silence derived from the labyrinthine plot plumps the depths of desperation in a way that is more emotionally compelling. Visually, the director doesn’t apply any extravagant cinematic embroidery, yet the sensuous and the rich darkness of the film is spellbinding with concrete cuts punctuated by compact rhythms. Those close-ups seldom focus on the demon, but adhere to the characters’ faces. Their pupil dilation, facial twitches stained with dread and anxiety entwine so vicariously to achieve a poignancy that has less to do with the ghosts than with the fear in the bottom of our mind. That’s the essence of “Oculus,” and that’s where Flanagan flirts with raising the audience’s blood pressure. Just a friendly tip: take a good look at yourself in the mirror before you go to the cinema, because you probably won’t be willing or able to do it after you get home.
Sadly, the film tries to wrangle those lost audience members back in through unnecessary emotional plot pulls. As if Sonny’s day isn’t stressful enough, his father’s death is continuously brought up, and he has to watch his pregnant girlfriend walk around the office angry at him for not being thrilled at the thought of being a father. These plot points are so underdeveloped, they’re insulting. The most annoying part of “Draft Day” was a poorly-chosen editing technique. I don’t know what director Ivan Reitman was thinking, but he lets a thick black line cross the picture to transition scenes and split the screen during phone calls.
BY WENWEN TANG
Worse, while on the phone the characters’ bodies go over the line and into the each other’s scene. It’s cringe worthy. There is no point to “Draft Day.” There is no antagonist, just Sonny dealing with his stressful life, which isn’t a good story. There is no epic game to look forward to, just some phone calls between middleaged white men spitting football statistics. “Draft Day” is basically just one long, expensive promo for the NFL draft. So let me save you some time and money and tell you the draft begins May 8. You’re welcome.
