Thursday and is in critical condition. In her first year competing in Individual Time Trials for first-year team IU Nursing, Gill placed 106th with a time of 3:09.51. At time of publication, further details on Gill’s condition and on the accident are unknown. Alden Woods
BPD starts program to control problem of homelessness BY KATE STARR kastarr@indiana.edu
Bloomington Police Department Chief Mike Diekhoff said police can’t fix the problem of homelessness in town. But officers are trying to change how law enforcement handles people experiencing homelessness. BPD started a new program to assist people experiencing homelessness in downtown Bloomington and on the B-Line Trail. Six police officers have been put on duty as downtown resource officers to direct people in need to social service providers as an alternative to arresting them. “The goal is to find people in crisis having problems and link them to the appropriate service provider,” Diekhoff said. The officers have recognizable dark blue uniforms and use a variety of modes of transportation. The initiative began April 1. The program is a joint effort among IU Health Bloomington, Centerstone, the Shalom Community Center, the Monroe County Public Library, the Monroe County Probation Department and a variety of faith groups, said Lisa Abbott, director of Housing and Neighborhood Development. “The process of arresting people, sometimes it takes care of the problem, but it doesn’t always address why they’re there in the first place,” Diekhoff said. Eliminating homelessness is not BPD’s responsibility, Diekhoff said, because the department doesn’t have the necessary social service experience. The officers participating have all volunteered for the position. But Abbott said homelessness is a community problem, not just the officers’ responsibility. “You need to tell us where you can see the problems because we can’t be everywhere all the time,” Abbott said. Diekhoff agreed, reiterating there are only six officers participating, and patrol, though frequent, is not constant. BPD is depending on community members to notify the appropriate help when necessary. “I can’t fix the problem, but I can find people who can,” Diekhoff
“The process of arresting people, sometimes it takes care of the problem, but it doesn’t always address why they’re there in the first place.” Mike Diekhoff, Bloomington Police Department Chief
said. While homelessness is definitely an increasing problem in Bloomington, Diekhoff said he blames a select few for the problem rather than the entire homeless community. “When you talk about homelessness, it seems like a big problem, but it’s a small percentage of that population that causes the bulk of the problem,” Diekhoff said. Abbott said the police department is looking at the individuals who are intoxicated downtown, who are harassing other individuals or who have mental illnesses and are off their medication. Steve Backs, MCPL adult and teen services manager, said he is excited to be a part of the initiative, especially because the program provides an alternative to putting problematic individuals under arrest. Backs said a big problem is people experiencing homelessness falling asleep in the library and crowding the facilities. “We’ve been longing for something where we can get in front of that,” Backs said. “We think it’s a really progressive idea, and we’re gratified to be a part of it.” In the future, the city hopes to start an education campaign to stop aggressive panhandling. Abbott said many people don’t realize that some individuals begging for money are not actually homeless. He said they could just be using the money they collect to feed their addictions. In the meantime, though, the new program is already proving effective, Diekhoff said. “We’re already having successes, in my mind, finding out what services are out there to help,” Diekhoff said.

Cate Taylor and Amy Gonzalez were married in New York in the summer of 2009. The women said their families never acknowledged the fact that they were gay until a formal ceremony validated their relationship. When they moved to Indiana to accept jobs as professors at IU, they found their marriage would not be recognized by the state.
Validated Two IU professors struggle with recognition of marriage BY LINDSAY MOORE liramoore@indiana.edu @_LindsayMoore
Sean Hayes plays in the background as two brides share their first dance. Their gowns glide behind them. For the first time, Cate Taylor and Amy Gonzales celebrate as a married couple. “The wedding itself was really special,” said Gonzales, assistant telecommunications professor at IU. “It was this turning point in how a lot of our close family felt about us as a gay couple.” The chaos of wedding planning was often amplified with confusion, disapproval and occasionally even hostility, they said. “You’re both getting married? On the same day?” bridal shop owners asked Taylor and Gonzales — seemingly oblivious to their relationship. After four years of dating, even the brides’ families still had their reservations about the wedding. “(The wedding) totally legitimated our relationship,” said Taylor, assistant sociology and gender studies professor. “I don’t think there’s any way my family would have accepted us the way they accept us now without having done that wedding.” Married in New York. Single in Philadelphia. With every change in landscape, their legal
status fluctuated. Taylor and Gonzales wed in summer 2009, in the midst of California’s gay rights battle. In fall 2008, California’s Proposition 8 passed. It added an amendment to the state constitution that defined marriage between one man and one woman, but was overturned in summer 2010. Legislative changes, stateto-state and even year-to-year, are ongoing factors in Taylor and Gonzales’ lives. After legally being married in Massachusetts, the couple bounced around the east coast for their post-doctoral research, they said. “It’s a regular occurrence in our life that we’re trying to figure out how to navigate this maze of what it means to married, not married and now halfmarried,” Taylor said. After two years on the east coast, they began looking for teaching positions. This commitment lent itself to other long-term planning, including family planning. There are only 16 states that allow joint gay adoptions in which both partner is considered the legal parent of the child. This legality also affects decisions such as finding gayfriendly doctors. “Anyone that’s dealing with you professionally but also in a SEE MARRIAGE, PAGE 6

In your face Student group organizes Pie-A-Professor event BY SIERRA GARDNER sigardne@indiana.edu @SierraLGardner
Whipped cream went flying Thursday night as students seized an unusual opportunity to get back at their professors. The Civic Leadership Development Group had the eighth annual Pie-A-Professor event in the McNutt Quad South Dining Hall. This year’s beneficiary is First Book Monroe County, an organization that provides children of low-income families with new books. “Most families with low incomes don’t have a single book for their children,” campaign chair Patty Callison said. “First Book makes sure they get a brand new book to take home to call their own. We can buy hard-covered children’s books for $2.50, so we make every dollar go very far.” The Civic Leadership Development Group is in the Kelley Institute and consists of about 1,800 active volunteers. The CLD created seven teams that competed in order to win the top fundraiser trophy. Fundraising began six weeks ago through donations. Donations could be given online by anyone, and people who donated were entered into a prize-drawing bucket. Prizes included coupons from sponsors, such as Hoosier Heights, IU Auditorium, Chipotle and Pizza X. Donations could be made until the end of the event. Board members of the marketing committee served as mentors for each group, and faculty members were pied. The teams that competed were Team Ford, Team Women in Business, Team Head and Beta Alpha Psi, Team Dayton, Team Sparks, Team Goerner and Team Kreft. Emma Harowski, vice president of the marketing committee, was the mentor for Team Goerner. “I started my freshman year because I like volunteering,” she said. “I really like the fact that it’s an oasis away from the college bubble.” The event began with a

short video explaining the purpose of First Books, featuring popular children’s book authors such as Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black, authors of “The Spiderwick Chronicles.” The video also featured Kyle Zimmer, the founder of First Books. The Pie-A-Professor event went on by alternating between pie-ing the faculty members and drawing tickets for prizes. There were also tickets sold for pizza and subs, as well as a pie-eating contest. Five audience members competed in the apple-pie eating contest. The winner received a pass to Hoosier Heights, and the other competitors won PIE T-shirts. The event ended with the announcement of the total and winners. PIE raised $8,296.50 this year. “We are blown away by the generosity and the way funds were raised this year,” Callison said. “We had so much fun, and I am so full of pizza. I want to let you know the children in
Monroe County will cherish these books and take them to bed with them because they belong to them.” Team Kreft won the top fundraiser trophy with a total of $2,161 in donations. Steven Kreft, clinical associate professor of business economics, won the title for the second year. Team mentor Nilesh Agrawal said Kreft enjoys PIE more than anyone else. He got more pies in the face than any other faculty member, with a total of six received. Kreft said he has been involved since the event began. He won last year and wore a dress and heels from My Sister’s Keeper, last year’s beneficiary. This year he promises to dress as the Little Mermaid in lecture next week. “When I walk in with that trophy, the outfit won’t feel that bad,” Kreft said. “The reason I kept coming back every year is because of the healthy competition between colleagues for a great cause. I love to see that rivalry when we fundraise.”

A new website makes available all the details of 130 construction projects across IU’s campuses. The website, Building a Stronger IU, allows users to search projects by category, such as campus, budget, status and funding source. Projects range from a list of various types of work, from bathroom renovations, window replacements and parking lots, to building new schools. A live webcam video is watching two of the projects, and visitors are allowed to control the lens for 90-second sessions by changing its direction and zooming in and out. Those buildings are the Kelley School of Business addition and the new School of Global and International Studies, which has two camera views to choose from. The latter is the most expensive of the in-progress projects, with a budget of $530 million. According to the website, construction.iu.edu, the building will contain 10 academic departments and 19 research centers. Its
completion is scheduled for the third anniversary of its approval, on Aug. 1, 2015. Active projects also on the Bloomington campus are the core renovation of Franklin Hall, the Herman B Wells Library and several others. By the time students arrive on campus this August, major projects slated to be complete include renovations in Swain Hall, Forest and McNutt Quads and the Wells Library Film and Media Archives. The Qualified Energy Savings Project, expected to total $15 million, is also scheduled to be finished in August. According to the website, the project will reduce energy costs by upgrading and replacing energywasteful electrical and mechanical systems in four buildings at IU-Purdue University Indianapolis: the Medical Research and Library Building, the Business and School of Public and Environmental Affairs building, the Engineering and Technology Building and Gatch Hall.

An IU professor has designed and built technology that could help doctors diagnose early signs of vision loss due to diabetes. Stephen Burns, associate dean for graduate programs at the IU School of Optometry, created an instrument that reflects light into patients’ eyes to overcome damage and imperfections in the eye, according to an IU news release. According to the release, existing techniques that included magnifying images of blood vessels did not give researchers enough information to diagnose early signs of vision loss. Burns’ technology compensated for imperfections in patients’ eyes and allowed more accurate images. Diabetes damages the retina by causing change and damage to blood vessels in the eye. According to the release, this damage is called diabetic retinopathy. It is the leading cause of vision loss in the United States for people younger than 75 years old. An IU study that used Burns’ technology found changes in the capillaries of patients with diabetes. Blood vessel walls grew in length and distorted to create corkscrew-shaped loops. The instrument designed by Burns minimized optical errors and captured large, sharp images of capillaries in the eye. Researchers were able to look at highly magnified still images and videos to observe blood cells mov-

ing through the blood vessels. Ann Elsner, associate dean for research at the optometry school and lead author of the study, said the researchers were not expecting to see such significant changes to patients’ eyes at the early stages. “We set out to study the early signs, in volunteer research subjects whose eyes were not thought to have very advanced disease,” Elsner said in the release. “There was damage spread widely across the retina, including changes to blood vessels that were not thought to occur until the more advanced disease states.” Subjects with diabetes had blood vessels that were broader, with significantly thicker walls, according to the release. Thick blood vessel walls have been correlated with poor blood flow and poor flow regulation. In addition to changes in the blood vessel walls, some of these capillaries were closed and could no longer move blood in the retina. This meant that diabetic patients who were thought to have only mild symptoms were already on a path to suffer vision loss. “It is shocking to see that there can be large areas of retina with insufficient blood circulation,” Burns said. “The consequence for individual patients is that some have far more advanced damage to their retinas than others with the same duration of diabetes.” Tori Fater

Step Up! trains for bystander intervention BY SUZANNE GROSSMAN spgrossm@indiana.edu @suzannepaige6
After attending a Step Up! IU training session, freshman Dayanna Arichavala wanted to share her new knowledge with everyone. This drove her to be host to Step Up! at La Casa Latino Cultural Center Thursday, where she has a work-study position. “After I heard the talk, I found myself being more vigilant,” Arichavala said. “I felt like it helped me a lot in assessing what goes on every day as I walk around campus.” Step Up! IU is the action piece of Culture of Care, meaning they go to student groups and give trainings on bystander intervention, Step Up! Coordinator Thea Cola said. Student groups can ask Step Up! to come to their meetings or events to give
either a bystander intervention presentation or a sexual assault prevention presentation. The group teaches students how to create a safe environment. “We want to increase confidence levels in students intervening,” Cola said. “In 2011 we surveyed IU students, and 66 percent thought that a problematic situation could’ve been avoided if someone intervened.” Culture of Care began collecting data and developing the Step Up! program, originally developed by the University of Arizona, for IU in 2011 and implemented it in 2012. The need for the group came after incidents on campus like Lauren Spierer’s disappearance, Cola said, as well as a national address in which President Barack Obama said sexual assault was an issue he’d like to address.
This school year, the initiative has served 1,167 students at IU, Cola said. “Incidents like sexual assault and hazing still occur even this year,” he said. “Culture of Care put this in for a reason. People don’t believe they have control of the environment, but they can create that culture of care and that’s what Step Up! is for. For encouraging students to take control of their environment.” Arichavala said she sees intervention as an area that could be improved on campus and in the world. “Everybody has this idea that we’re such a big campus that anybody will help,” Arichavala said. “But in reality everybody has that mindset, so no one actually ends up helping, not only on this campus, but everywhere.” Step Up! is important to IU students as they transition into college life, Cola said.
“College is a transitional period that can be tough,” Cola said. “Having someone smile at you or ask you if you’re OK can really go a long way. Intervening can really help people in the long run. It’ll make for an easier transition for students and help them have a better college experience.” Cola said she wanted to stress how Step Up! is not a group that promotes only sobriety or abstinence, but rather tries to encourage safer practices. “It’s not trying to crush fun,” Cola said. “It’s just trying to make fun safe.” As Little 500 approaches, Step Up! gets flooded with requests to speak and do intervention training. Between now and the end of the academic year they have 10 planned sessions, Cola said. Recently, Culture of Care commissioned the Student Media Bureau to make a video

but after people stepped up I felt more confident.” Guiterrez said he wished they would’ve staged more uncommon events to see what bystanders would do, such as a gay couple harassing a straight couple or a woman harassing a man. He said he’s also afraid the video was too “feel good.” “I’m afraid people will see it and think, ‘Everything’s good, people stood up, I don’t need to do anything,’” he said. “But then again people still walked by and the stage guy who was crying wasn’t helped at all.” However, Guiterrez said he is happy with how it created a community. “From the responses I’ve gotten, a lot of people really expressed their pride about IU are proud of the students for stepping up,” Guiterrez said. “People were for at least one reason bound together and agreed on something.”

The annual Grad Appreciation Week will conclude with today’s Grad Bash and a group outing to the opera Saturday. The Graduate Professional Student Organization, the graduate student government, sponsors this week of events every year to celebrate graduate and professional students’ accomplishments. “This is for all the hard work they do all year long,” GPSO Programming Coordinator Kevin Miescke said. “It’s a nice time to be able to relax and take a breather before the push to finals.” Today, there will be a Grad Bash from 6 to 9 p.m. in the Root Cellar Lounge, which Miescke said is typically the most popular event of the week. Live music, drinks and free food provided by Farm Bloomington will be
included. On Saturday, the GPSO will sponsor a trip to the opera to see “La Traviata” from 7 to 10:30 p.m in the IU Musical Arts Center. “La Traviata,” translated from Italian to English as “The Fallen Woman,” is a three-act opera written by Giuseppe Verde. It focuses on the story of Violetta Valéry, a dying courtesan. Student tickets are $10, and interested graduate or professional students should email GPSO to reserve a ticket. So far, the week has included a Martini Monday, a Grad House Café and a viewing of American Hustle. The week has been a success so far, Miescke said, with close to 100 students attending. He said he hopes to see about 400 students by the end of the week. The goal is to provide a
about bystander intervention. The video is called “Bystanders,” and it staged events to see how IU students would react and if any would intervene. Some examples of the staged events included public harassment of a gay couple, a man harassing a woman and students crying alone. “The beauty of it was no matter what, if people intervened or not, we could still use it,” video producer Carlos Guiterrez said. “If they didn’t react we could say, ‘Look at this problem,’ and if they do that’s great.” Students did end up intervening in the video, but at first Guiterrez said he was concerned people wouldn’t do so. “In the beginning I was worried on the state of the human condition because for a while no one stopped,” Guiterrez said. “I had to listen to this girl cry and watch it on camera.

Market, SNAP program return BY KATE STARR kastarr@indiana.edu
The Bloomington Community Farmers’ Market is open for spring, and its Double Market Bucks Program has returned. The program allows customers to double their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or food stamps, money at the Farmers’ Market for up to $18 in food stamp benefits. Market Bucks are only available in $3 increments. “A lot of granting organizations want to give to charities,” said Karin St. John, executive director of the Bloomington Parks Foundation. “We’ve used that money to create a Friend of the Farmers’ Market Fund.” Steve and Kathy Hockett have been selling their blueberries at the Farmers’ Market since 2010, but it wasn’t until this year that they decided to participate in the Double Market Bucks program.
“We just felt like it was a way to give back to the community,” said Steve Hockett, owner of Bloomington Blueberries. “We’ve been so blessed in our lives with so many wonderful things that this is a small way for us to just try and give back.” The fund helps low-income locals get access to fresh, locally grown food. The Parks and Recreation Department has a $30,000 grant this year that will go toward Market Bucks, St. John said. “They typically use their SNAP money to buy groceries, but now they can come to the farmers’ market and buy healthy alternatives,” St. John said. Customers can use their Market Bucks to not only buy basics like fruits, vegetables, dairy and meat, but also maple syrup, honey, jams and baked goods. “The long-term goals of the Money Bucks program are to reduce local food
insecurity, strengthen the drinks and local food economy and promote healthy lifestyles amongst SNAP customers,” Farmers’ Market master Robin Hobson said. The fund also allows donors to better market events like the Heirloom Tomato Tasting, Soup Tasting, Salsa Contest and chef demos, according to the Parks Foundation website. A number of vendors and farms participate in the program, including Pope Family Farm, Moon Valley Farm and Quinn Family Farm. Last year, 76 percent of vendors reported making more money because of Market Bucks, and 68 percent of customers said they wouldn’t have come to the Farmers’ Market without them, according to the 2013 Double Market Bucks Program Annual Report. “I guess this time of year I was probably getting five to 10 customers a week using Money Bucks,” said Dan
McCullough, owner of McCullough Farms. “That’ll probably increase as the summer goes on and more people come to the market and so on.” McCullough said not only did Market Bucks help his farm increase its sales, but they were also important in accommodating customers he’s had for years. The Farmers’ Market, located at Eighth and Morton streets, is open from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Saturday through September. Saturday the market will be host to Asianfest, a cultural program that will include performances, cooking demonstrations and activities such as calligraphy and henna. “(Market Bucks) is an excellent program for the people who need it and use it,” said Melinda Pope, owner of Pope Family Farm. “I think they’re going to get a lot better, healthier food definitely at the local market.”
Program works to improve grad rates BY SYDNEY MURRAY slmurray@indiana.edu @sydlm13
Jobs for America’s Graduates, a national organization that works to keep students in school, has seen an increasing number of members in Indiana. Since 2013, Gov. Mike Pence said in a tweet, JAG in Indiana has seen the largest growth percentage in the shortest period of time in the history of the organization. Joseph Frank, spokesperson for the Indiana Department of Workforce Development, said the Indiana chapter of JAG is now the largest chapter in the nation. JAG provides support services to keep students from dropping out. Frank said students in JAG learn employable skills and get involved with philanthropy work. Frank said JAG targets
the most at-risk students in school and helps them move on to post-secondary education and, eventually, to wellpaying jobs. At-risk students could be students who have discipline problems or who have experienced homelessness, for example. Jim Koeninger, executive vice president of JAG, said the organization began in Delaware in 1979 and is now found in 31 states. During the 2014-15 school year, Koeninger said, JAG will serve its one-millionth student. If students are unable to get a high school diploma, Koeninger said, there is a chance they will make less money and their lifestyle will not live up to their expectations. Society will probably have to support them in different ways because it might be difficult for them to find jobs, he said.
After students graduate from high school, JAG follows them for one year. Koeninger said the program would like to follow students for longer than one year, but it is too expensive. Forty-four percent of JAG students that graduated high school in 2013 went on to enroll in college. Koeninger said Indiana has an extensive support system in place that is one of the best in the country. Frank said the Indiana JAG chapter currently has 91 percent of their students graduate from high school. Nationally, 94 percent of JAG participants graduate from high school. The Indiana Department of Education recently released 2013 graduation rate data for high schools in Indiana. Statewide, 88.6 percent of students graduated from high school.
In the Monroe County Community School Corporation, 94 percent of high school students graduated. Indiana has seen success with the JAG program because Pence recognizes the importance of helping young people make good decisions, Koeninger said. He said the leadership in Indiana seems to want to help young people have a good start in their careers. “We think it’s a wonderful program that gives kids a chance to be successful and graduate regardless of their situation,” Frank said. JAG started in Indiana in 2006 at just a few Indiana schools. The program now currently services 6,000 students at 106 different programs in every Indiana region. “It really has blossomed into a great state-wide program,” Frank said.

Uber, a website mobile application that assists people in finding rides, expanded to Bloomington last week. Passengers are able to pick up a ride on short notice through the app, which matches them with available Uber drivers. “We’re really excited to be in Bloomington,” said Chris Nakutis, general manager for Uber in Indiana. Uber has multiple ride options, including uberX, which allows everyday drivers to pick up riders, and uberBLACK, which partners riders with professional drivers in black vehicles. Only uberX is available in Bloomington now. Nakutis said he predicts other Uber options will be available in Bloomington by the next school year. Uber users are able to see available cars on the app, including a profile of the driver and car and real-time movement of the car. Uber also recruits drivers. All drivers must go through background checks, be insured, be over 23 years old and have a car 10 years or
younger. “When we think of Uber, we think of simplicity, safety and reliability,” Nakutis said. “We want to make sure that people know we aren’t some random app picking people up.” Nakutis said the average wait time in Indianapolis is four minutes. Bloomington is one of the smallest cities Uber serves, Nakutis said. Because drivers can pick up uberX riders at their convenience, there is no limit to how far uberX rides can go, Nakutis said, noting that many people have taken Uber rides from Indianapolis to Bloomington or from Indianapolis to Chicago. Those rides, Nakutis said, led to the expansion to Bloomington, as well as Bloomington residents and IU students using it in other cities. “A lot of people who use Uber in Chicago and New York City came from IU,” Nakutis said. “They’d say, ‘Oh, I’m going back to Bloomington.’” He added many Uber employees are IU graduates. Nakutis said last spring, Uber was only available in 12 cities, Indianapolis not being one of them. It now serves 96 places worldwide.
Charges could be dropped against man who tried to run over ex-girlfriend FROM IDS REPORTS
Former IU student Connor Bird pled guilty last week to criminal recklessness for an incident in February 2013 when Bird attempted to hit his exgirlfriend with a car. Bird is the son of Larry Bird, Pacers president and former NBA player. Preliminary charges include criminal recklessness, a class A misdemeanor; possession of marijuana, a class A misdemeanor; and battery, a class B misdemeanor. But through a plea agreement with the Monroe County Circuit Court, Bird could have his charges dropped. The court may suspend
any part of a sentence for misdemeanors, according to Indiana law, as well as sentence a defendant up to one year in prison and fine up to $5,000 for a class A misdemeanor. Bird’s sentencing has been deferred for 12 months in order for him to participate in Transcend Mentoring, a program for clients to transition into a sober living environment, according to its website. Charges against Bird will be dropped if he commits no more criminal offenses, participates in the mentoring program and provides regular updates to the court. Dennis Barbosa

Kruzan vetoes deer ordinance FROM IDS REPORTS
Mayor Mark Kruzan vetoed the city’s deer sharpshooting ordinance, sending the resolution back to the Bloomington City Council without his signature. The ordinance would have allowed professional sharpshooters to cull deer in Griffy Lake Nature Preserve primarily for the purpose of protecting the preserve’s environment. His letter to the council, dated April 11, said he cannot support killing deer in Bloomington “as a matter of conscience.” Kruzan said he respected the Council’s decision, noting that the issue was thoroughly researched, but could not accept the ordinance because he felt it would “irreversibly change the nature of the community.” Kruzan also said he understood the

They packed up and made their way to Indiana. Although their adoption is legal here, their marriage isn’t. It’s not recognized by the state of Indiana as a marriage, by definition. This makes events like Tax Day that much more stressful, they said. Federally, Taylor and Gonzales are considered legally wed and receive tax returns as a couple. On a state level, each must file their
sentiment that deer were too much of a detriment to the preserve’s environment. However, he felt that the sharpshooting option was an inappropriate response by the Council. “I understand the strongly held belief of individuals and organizations that deer create a problem,” Kruzan said in his letter to the council. “I simply see the problem created by the killing of animals as outweighing the problem being caused to plants.” Kruzan did not offer an alternative to sharpshooting in his letter. The council will discuss whether or not to override the veto at its next meeting Wednesday. In order to successfully override the veto, the council must pass the ordinance by a two-thirds majority.

This has translated to Taylor and Gonzales spending thousands of dollars on lawyers and accountants to decipher the gray area. “Even with all that money we spend we still don’t have the same legal protection as a married couple,” Taylor said. “People think that we can somehow approximate legal marriage and actually, you can’t do that. There’s certain privileges that the government gives heterosexual married couples, that there’s just no way to get them for same-sex couples.” Indiana’s changing legislation is a constant source of stress for Taylor and Gonzales, they said. The recent HJR-3 proposal could have drastically altered the couple’s family planning. If the second sentence had remained, ban-

It was pitch black on the IU Auditorium stage. The sound of harmonizing male voices singing “Summer Nights” filled the theater. The curtain rose to reveal eight men in dark gray suits. They made up Gentleman’s Rule, an eight-member a cappella group opening for Under the Streetlamp. The show started at 8 p.m. It was the first show of the 50city concert tour that Under the Streetlamp and Gentleman’s Rule will be headlining. Gentleman’s Rule originated at IU and focuses on contemporary and retro-style music. “We are so excited to be back here tonight to share our gifts with you,” Brent Mann, member of Gentleman’s Rule, told the audience. The group performed song covers ranging from “Ain’t No Sunshine” to “Good Life,” and modern hits such as Rihanna’s “Stay.” They sang in falsetto, beat-boxed and

In less than 10 years, gay marriage has gone from being legal in only one state to 17 states. The rest of the country varies from acknowledging marriages performed elsewhere to constitutional bans on same-sex marriage. Indiana is no exception to this inconsistency. Last week, a federal judge

This case is one of five legal challenges filed in Indiana last month. Since DOMA was repealed last year, more than 60 federal lawsuits have been filed nationwide. This puts gay rights issues at center stage, a position that feels both exciting and overwhelming for couples like Taylor and Gonzales, they said. “You can feel more empowered walking down the street holding hands but then you also feel like, oh someone’s also pissed off about DOMA,” Gonzales said. “Walking down the street holding hands shouldn’t feel like sticking

Despite this change in public opinion, feeling that their relationship isn’t respected is still a constant anxiety for gay couples such as Taylor and Gonzales. This lack of legal respect often transforms into a socially inhospitable climate, they said. Most LGBT hate crimes are aimed at gays who defy the gender normative — masculine females or feminine males. Taylor and Gonzales are white, educated, employed, feminine lesbians but they said this does not exempt them from hostility. “It’s not always clear why

That’s the stress, the uncertainty around having to constantly navigate around other people’s potential prejudices.” Although Taylor and Gonzales have said they found both the Bloomington and IU community to be overall welcoming and accepting, they still run into their fair share of pursed lips and disapproving stares. “I think it’s kind of sad to be honest,” Taylor said. “This is the most important relationship of my life. I’m totally in love with Amy and I think we have a great relationship and we’re really happy. It’s just kind of sad to me that our relationship is not respected in the legal system.”

REVENGE IU baseball team looks to sweep Michigan State this week BY EVAN HOOPFER ehoopfer@indiana.edu @EvanHoopfer
When IU traveled to East Lansing, Mich., for a threegame stint with Michigan State last season, the Hoosiers were hot. IU had just had its 18-game winning streak snapped by Illinois five days prior, but had still won 22 of its last 24 games and had vaulted to No. 12 in the national rankings. The Spartans swept the Hoosiers in three losses for IU. Two of the games went to extra innings, and all three losses were one-run affairs that featured a Spartan walk-off hit to beat the Hoosiers. The team expressed anger, but said this time around it will be more composed if adversity comes its way. “It definitely made us all a little bit angry,” senior ace Joey DeNato said. “Baseball’s a sport where you have to channel your anger. In football if you’re hyped up you can go hit someone. In baseball you can’t do that, you have to maintain your composure.” IU (22-11, 8-1) will get its chance at revenge when Michigan State (20-14, 5-4) comes to Bloomington for a three-game series starting at 7:05 p.m. today. DeNato will start for the Hoosiers. The lefty became the winningest pitcher in IU history with his last start against Morehead State. DeNato now owns the record for most career
strikeouts, 257, and wins, 31, in IU baseball’s 119-year history. When DeNato plays the Spartans, he has a little extra motivation. His father attended Michigan State and Joey, a San Diego native, grew up attending Michigan State football games. “It’s always good beating them,” DeNato said. “For bragging rights.” In the last two seasons, the Hoosiers are just 1-5 against the Spartans. This year, the Spartans have had an up-and-down year. Back in February, the Spartans knocked off then-No. 1 Oregon State. But in their last six games, they are just 3-3 against weak competition. In their recent six-game stretch, the Spartans lost two games to Central Michigan and took two of three from Purdue, where they had an average run differential of just plus-1 per game. The Boilermakers are 8-24 this year. Michigan State leads the Big Ten in steals and steal attempts. IU has a speedster of its own — junior second baseman Casey Rodrigue — who leads the team with 10 stolen bags. This also ranks fifth in the Big Ten. Rodrigue is playing his first year for IU after transferring from LSU-Eunice and has cemented himself as the team’s leadoff hitter. He said he’s heard from his teammates how frustrating last year’s sweep was. “It kinda left a salty taste in their mouths,” Rodrigue said. “And they know there’s a little bit more of an importance on this series.”

Then-junior Joey DeNato pitches to a Louisville batter during IU’s 2-0 win in its first game in the College World Series on June 14, 2012, at TD Ameritrade Park in Omaha, Neb. DeNato allowed four hits in nine innings.

EDITORIAL BOARD
Bad target for the left Time to alert the bloodhounds and riders, because there’s a hunt going on. After a blog revealed Jelly Belly Candy Company Chair Herman Roland Sr. made a $5,000 donation to anti-trans initiative Privacy for All Students, I don’t think it’s fair to call it anything else. Roland’s donation was brought into the public light in the same way as those of recently disgraced Mozilla Firefox’s former CEO Brendan Eich and OkCupid CEO Sam Yagan. Though I certainly support gay rights and find the ideas behind the executives’ actions pretty odious, I believe we’ve truly taken this witch hunt too far. These men have a fundamental right to believe what they want to believe. First of all, their donations represent personal beliefs rather than reflecting on the whole company they manage. In all three situations, it’s been the stealthy digging of journalists that has uncovered these less-than-savory facts about their past donation habits. They haven’t made hamfisted public statements about the “sacred family” or the “fundamental role of women,” like the owners of Chick-fil-A and Barilla pasta. They haven’t extended their anti-gay, anti-trans rhetoric anywhere outside the privacy of their own homes and wallets. I would hate to think I could get fired from a job I did well simply for having different views. Especially for views that only came to light after a particularly nosy person checked a list of donations for my name. Second, it’s important to consider the context under which these donations were made. Both Eich and Yagan made the donations nearly 10 years ago. I don’t know about you, dear readers, but I’m aware

We shouldn’t assume that in 10 years’ time those executives haven’t changed as well. Roland’s donation, however, was made last August, which complicates this argument. But I invite you to consider the atmosphere through which the campaign markets itself. Frank Schubert, the wellknown planner of Proposition 8, is the man orchestrating the Privacy for All Students campaign. It uses scare tactics and misrepresentations to frighten parents into thinking that transitioning children will “expose themselves” if given the choice to pick their gendered bathrooms and locker rooms in schools. One can imagine such a donation being given after reading his pamphlets or listening to a particularly fearmongering speech about good little sons and daughters seeing genitalia they “shouldn’t.” All in all, I find this series of anti-gay “outings” to be counterproductive and reprehensible. Though I disagree with the donations made by Roland, Eich and Yagan, I don’t care what they think as long as they keep it professional and out of their businesses. Hopefully, journalists will give up this witch hunt. It serves little other purpose than to shame and point fingers at folks who are well within their rights to exercise free speech privately. mcaranna@indiana.edu @MarissaCaranna
MICHAEL’S MUSINGS
The enduring principle of Heller With the National Rifle Association’s convention coming to Indianapolis next Friday, I believe it would be in the best interest of this publication for me to preemptively air my thoughts on the matter. As the inventors of gunpowder, the Chinese were the first to figure out that a projectile propelled by the explosion could do serious harm to one’s enemies. Though the first guns that made their way to Western Europe lacked many of the accoutrements of today’s modern assault rifles, it was only a matter of time before they became indispensable weapons of war. To the European colonists in America, a musket was essential to living. The prevalence of civilian militias during the Revolutionary War further cemented the idea that guns were part of a citizen’s rights. George Washington’s Continental Army could not be everywhere at once, and a large deal of the colonial forces were indeed militia members called upon at a minute’s notice to fight against the British. This was the principle of self-defense that continues to inform judicial opinions to this day. After the war, the Founding Fathers believed so strongly in the right to self-defense it was included in the Bill of Rights. “A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed,” the Second Amendment to the Constitution states. This eventuality is provided for in the case United States v. Miller, where Justice McReynolds cited state statues dating from the early days of the United States requiring able-bodied male citizens to procure weapons and

American Dream interrupted WE SAY: Administrative oversight is at fault By 21 years old, most young adults are just hoping for a better-paying job and the end of acne. After a feature published in the Indiana Daily Student, IU junior Qun Sun might be praying just not to be deported. Last August, Sun opened a restaurant with a few other students, the Lotus Garden. He invested thousands of dollars into his business and his hard work paid off. He is able to cover his tuition costs, relieving his parents of the financial burden, a goal that will take many students years if not decades to achieve. Bloom magazine praised his restaurant in a review last month. Then, a feature in the IDS gained the attention of the Office of International Services. Now, Sun and his business partners might face deportation for violating the regulations of their statuses as international students.

ammunition for the explicit purpose of self-defense. This principle of self-defense still carries today, and is indeed one of the primary arguments toward looser gun regulations. The recent court case Heller v. District of Columbia is proof that the ban on handguns in Washington, D.C., violates this principle. “The inherent right of self-defense has been central to the Second Amendment right,” Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia argued in the majority opinion. “(Washington D.C.’s) handgun ban amounts to a prohibition of an entire class of ‘arms’ that is overwhelmingly chosen by American society for that lawful purpose. The prohibition extends, moreover, to the home, where the need for defense of self, family and property is most acute.” This hinges on the fact that handguns are still among the most popular weapons registered in the U.S. Illinois’ introduction of a “concealed carry” law last year is evidence of this growing trend among states. Before we immediately turn our noses up at the goings-on in Indianapolis in a weeks’ time, I ask the students of this campus to remember there are legitimate reasons for the NRA’s actions despite its current unpopularity. Ad hominem attacks against the organization do nothing to change its stance or force it to shut down.

When international students come to IU they must apply for either F-1 or J-1 nonimmigrant status. Students with F-1 status can work on-campus jobs. They may not have off-campus jobs without permission. The job must pertain to the student’s field of study or the student must be experiencing severe economic hardship. With a J-1 status, IU issues students a DS-2019 to work on campus and they may only work up to 20 hours a week. DS-2019 is a document used by exchange visitor programs’ administrations to provide basic information of the exchange student. To work off campus, the student must be authorized and the job must be in the student’s field of study and pertain to his or her academic objective. The IDS article says Sun will graduate in 2015, which we will assume means he has
an F-1 status because he has been at IU for longer than a year. Homeland Security considers starting your own business working, and so permission must be acquired. To own a business, the student must apply for optional practical training — which, again, must relate to the student’s field of study. The catch is, this must occur before or after the completion of a program of study, not during. We don’t know if Sun blatantly disregarded the rules or didn’t understand the restrictions. But the true fault of this situation lies with the Office of International Services. It is supposed to look after international students. It is supposed to make sure international students understand the rules and conditions of their visas and U.S. residence.
To start his business, Sun would have had to jump through several legal and government hoops. He had to get a tax identification number from the IRS, register for state and local taxes and obtain a series of licenses and permits on federal, state and local levels. That no one noticed his international status while he went about this is sadly reflective of the competency of our administration and our government. Sun is in violation of his international status by operating a business while in school, but he does not deserve to be punished for it. He is a prime example of someone chasing the American dream. He shouldn’t be punished for going above and beyond to get the most out of his experience in America. opinion@idsnews.com @ids_opinion
QUE SARAH, SARAH
The Bloomberg buyout I couldn’t oppose guns more vehemently if I tried. Civilians should not carry weapons designed to kill people. Period. The second amendment explicitly limits that right to a wellorganized militia, which we have: the United States military. Far too many innocent lives have been lost at gunpoint to justify an assault rifle hobby anymore. With that in mind, it grieves me to oppose New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s $50 million donation meant to deter the National Rifle Association’s efforts to minimize gun control, but I do. It’s the same predicament that has sparked national debates for decades on campaign finance and donation caps for corporations: is it constitutional to regulate the amount of money a single person or corporation can donate to a candidate? Those waters are murky. It’s easy to feel as though
our nation’s laws are being written by the rich, rather than the people. There are those who assert that Bloomberg’s actions are justifiable because the $50 million is drawn from his personal fortune. But the sheer quantity of the donation and the enormous amount of anti-gun labor it will enable cannot be ignored. The money will fund a grassroots operation that includes two activism groups, Mayors Against Illegal Guns and Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America. Bloomberg hopes to tap into the middle-aged, family-friendly constituency by emphasizing the danger guns pose to children. Obviously, activist groups are part of what makes America strong. Organizing passionate citizens around a cause that’s relevant to them and enacting change is certainly free speech.
Enormous monetary donations, however, are a different story. CNN reports that “influencing those in charge of writing gun policy will be the ultimate goal of the organizations,” which means that essentially Bloomberg’s vast wealth allots him more influence — easily translated into votes — than the average citizen. Therein lies the injustice. Bloomberg is also seeking 501(c)(4) status for his organizations, which, if achieved, would allow them to raise unlimited amounts of money to influence voters and motivate them to vote in November. I despise the ways in which gun violence has torn our country apart, especially in recent decades. I believe the true tragedy lies in the preventable nature of these crimes. I vehemently oppose the NRA and would be more than willing to join a political action committee

to stop them. But well-intentioned though it may be, Bloomberg’s massive donation and grassroots fundraising efforts are so large, they misrepresent the American people. We cannot support unlimited campaign donations solely when we side with those receiving the money. I feel compelled to denounce Bloomberg’s $50 million because I feel uneasy that one wealthy citizen has the financial power to shape legislation despite the popular opinion. Until the rest of America gets on board with gun control, we will simply have to count on background checks a little longer. sbkissel@indiana.edu

Streep teaches master class to students BY BRANDON COOK brancook@indiana.edu
More than 240 students and fans packed into the Wells-Metz Theatre Thursday to witness Meryl Streep deliver her first acting master class. Fresh from her reception Wednesday, during which she received an honorary doctoral degree, the Academy Awardwinning actress critiqued student performances and fielded questions from both an interviewer and the audience. “It was hard to listen for the fact that Meryl was speaking to me as a person, not just through a screen,” student actor Sasha Neufeld said. Streep began the class by addressing the art of acting itself, the difficulties that come with beginning a project and her creative process. “My husband goes to the studio every morning and confronts nothing but his imagination,” she said,
referring to her spouse of 36 years, the sculptor Don Gummer. “He taught me a great thing: start by starting.” Streep started her own career in the early 1970s with several New York Shakespeare Festival productions before she appeared in her first feature film, “Julia,” a film about Nazi conflicts that came out in 1977. Streep’s small role in “Julia” preceded her first Academy Award nomination in the critically acclaimed Vietnam drama “The Deer Hunter.” During Thursday’s class, however, it wasn’t Streep who took the stage but several masters of fine arts students who performed dialogues from Tennessee Williams’ “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,” Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar” and Noel Coward’s “Private Lives.” Streep praised the actors and provided gentle criticism on the varying performances. “In this world, you have to decide what your world
is,” she said of the two female performers in “Julius Caesar.” “Are you going to play by girls’ rules?” The class concluded with an extended interview moderated by Jonathan Michaelsen, chair of the Department of Theatre, Drama and Dance. The questions centered on Streep’s personal life as an actor and on her own conceptions of art and artists. “The feeling world is our world,” she said of actors. “We understand the compassion that is needed in the world to help people.” Although Streep addressed many questions, the actress’ conviviality, wit and humility had the audience laughing and applauding. “I’ve entered some venerable state I don’t understand,” she said. “I don’t think I’m so great.” IKE HAJINAZARIAN | IDS
Meryl Streep stages a master class in acting for the IU Department of Theatre, Drama and Contemporary Dance Thursday morning at the Wells-Metz Theatre.
IU Theatre to premiere newest play ‘Guys and Dolls’ Girls, gangsters and gambling will come to the IU Theatre this weekend in its newest production, “Guys and Dolls.” Performances will take place at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday in the Ruth N. Halls Theatre, with additional shows at 7:30 p.m. April 22-26 and at 2 p.m. April 26. Tickets start at $15 for students and $25 for general admission. “Guys and Dolls” follows four main characters through their complicated romantic relationships. Sophomore Joey Birchler plays gambler Sky Masterson, a suave character who never gave time
to serious relationships with women. His friend, Nathan Detroit, is played by junior Markus McClain. Nathan bets Sky that he won’t be able to convince missionary Sarah Brown to go out with him. Sky takes the bet and pursues Sarah. The two eventually fall in love, and their differences change each other for the better. At the same time, Nathan has been engaged to Miss Adelaide for 14 years, and she is trying to convince him to get married. However, Nathan repeatedly refuses because he’s not ready. “It’s about two different styles of relationships,” McClain said. “All Adelaide wants
is to get married, but Nathan isn’t ready. This contrasts with the growth and budding relationship of Sky and Sarah.” The musical’s themes contribute to the popularity of the production. “I think it’s one of the best musicals ever written,” Director Lee Cromwell said. “I think there’s something universal about this story, about these larger-than-life figures being who they are and going after what they want, not apologizing for living.” Despite the musical being set in the 1950s, McClain said the audience will be surprised by how much they can relate to the characters. For the actors, portraying and connecting to those char-
acters was one of the hardest parts of preparation. Birchler struggled gaining the confidence Sky has in the musical. He said embodying the persona of someone who always feels like he’s the smartest guy in the room was a huge challenge. “It’s a mental thing as well as a physical thing,” Birchler said. “It’s about being smooth in your actions.” Junior Meghan Goodman, who plays Sarah, found understanding the character’s transformation her biggest challenge. “She’s exposed to so much at once that she never imagined would happen to her,” Goodman said. “I had to find
Band Deschain to open at Bishop BY CHRISTIAN KEMP cjkemp@indiana.edu
Progressive black metal band Deschain will debut its new album, “Grit Part I: Vigilance,” live Saturday at the Bishop Bar. The band’s frontman, Bryce Marley, was central to organizing the show, which Deschain will headline. “We did our last CD show with them,” Marley said about the Bishop. “We had a really good turnout.” Eschatos and Lawbringer, also metal bands, will open the show. Marley said his band saw Eschatos play in Kentucky, the band’s home base. “They played a killer set,” he said. “So, we asked them to play with us after that.” Following the two opening bands, Deschain will play its new album in its entirety. The album, which is just more than 36 minutes of recorded genre-blending music, will be sold at the show, but only cash will be accepted. Deschain was formed in Kokomo. When it moved to Bloomington with Marley and a former bandmate, the band chose to take a media angle to appeal to its audience, rather than touring. “We have decided to be active by writing new material, and constantly having it out there for people to listen to online,” Marley said. “Most of our fan base is in the Ukraine.” Marley described his band’s lyrics as a fiction story. “Grit Part I: Vigilance,” is part of a trilogy that takes place in the American West. The band is currently recording the second edition to this trilogy. “It is about an elderly law man who has to come to terms with choosing to be the sum of his actions, or the sum of his ideals,” Marley
GUYS AND DOLLS 7:30 p.m. April 18, 19, 22-26 2:00 p.m., April 26 Ruth N. Halls Theatre $15 for students, $25 general because of the energy and humor that requires an audience’s responses. “Because the actors that are doing this production are singing, dancing, acting, throwing themselves literally around the stage with such passion and dedication, it is just a joy to see,” Cromwell said. “I think there’s something really exciting about being in the same room when people are diving off of a cliff, metaphorically.”
SEASON GRANDE FINALE!
DESCHAIN When Midnight, Saturday Where Bishop Bar Tickets are $5 and audience members must be at least 21 years old said. Marley was inspired by Stephen King’s “Dark Tower” series when naming his band. Although none of its music has directly described events from these books, the band chose this name to honor the story, which influenced its lyrical storytelling style. Deschain’s newest album was its first released through a record label, Razed Soul Productions, which is based in Minnesota. Adam Fisk, who performs with Deschain, said the new album has been generating attention. The album can be purchased on the band’s website, deschainmetal.bandcamp.com. The band also has an up-to-date Facebook page for its fans. Patrick Vollmer said since joining Deschain about a year and a half ago, his skills as a guitarist have improved. He said the band has motivated him to learn how to play faster, more complicated music. “We have always tried to write music that is both fun and challenging to play,” Reed said. “I think we have reached that point where we can expand our sound into new territory.” Dean Reed, another member of Deschain, said this is one of the band’s last performances in Bloomington. Several of the band members are moving, but Marley said the band plans to continue recording albums regardless. “It will be a show to remember,” Fisk said, “It should be an exciting event for Bloomington music lovers and Bishop regulars.”
that progression throughout the show.” McClain also had to learn the dynamics of his character, specifically with the relationship Nathan has with Adelaide. “It’s a huge contrast of being in love and having a soulmate and the rough waters you go through in a relationship,” McClain said. Overcoming the challenges and putting the show together culminate in the performance. “I’m really looking forward to the actors’ experience of sharing this with an audience,” Cromwell said. “I think they’re really hungry for it.” McClain said this type of show deserves an audience

Road wins could boost postseason chances for IU BY MICHAEL HUGHES michhugh@indiana.edu @MichaelHughes94
BEN MIKESELL | IDS
Sophomore Alyssa Rosati runs toward third base during IU’s first game against Ball State on Wednesday at Andy Mohr Field. IU won its first game of the doubleheader against the Cardinals.
Softball team looks to hinder Wildcats BY DAN MATNEY cdmatney@indiana.edu
After splitting Wednesday’s doubleheader with Ball State, the IU softball team (13-30-1, 4-10) will travel to Evanston, Ill., to take on Big Ten foe Northwestern (2411, 6-6 conference). IU Coach Michelle Gardner said in order for the team to be successful, it is going to have to limit the Wildcats’ big hits. “We have been giving up big hits at inopportune times,” Gardner said. “We need to focus on the task at hand, which is not allowing extra base hits.” Gardner said Northwestern’s offense is similar to that of Ball State. The Wildcats’ team batting average of .325 ranks the team 16th in the statistic nationally, three slots ahead of Ball State. After facing a Ball State lineup that has six players with a batting average above .300, IU will have to go against an even more efficient Northwestern offense. Northwestern has seven
starting players with an average above .300. The team averages six runs per game and ranks third in the conference in total runs with 233. The offense is led by sophomore infielder Brianna LeBeau and senior infielder Emily Allard, who each have a .389 batting average. They are tied for the 10th-highest batting average in the conference. Allard also has 22 steals, the highest amount for an individual player in the conference. The last time IU junior pitcher Lora Olson pitched was during the first game of the Ball State doubleheader. She pitched a complete game, allowing just two earned runs on two walks and five hits. She said in order to see a similar performance against the Wildcats, she will need to mix her pitches and keep batters off balance. “I need to stick to the plan I had against Ball State,” Olson said. “Hit my spots, mix my speeds and keep hitters guessing. I need to use my pitches evenly and not
get into a pattern.” In the circle, Northwestern has one of the highest team ERAs in the conference at 4.14. Sophomore pitcher Kristen Wood has become the ace of the pitching staff. Through 117.1 innings pitched, Wood has an ERA of 3.94 and has struck out 150 of the 444 batters she has faced. IU will need to continue swinging like it did against Ball State. The Hoosiers accounted for 20 hits in Wednesday’s doubleheader. Although the Hoosiers were able to get on base, the team wasn’t able to bring runners across the plate. IU left 13 runners on base in Wednesday’s games and drove in six total runs. Olson said driving in runners and limiting errors will be important against Northwestern. “We really need to play clean defense and deliver timely hits,” Olson said. “We need to stick to our game plan.”

After beating Penn State last Sunday, the No. 59 IU men’s tennis team has two more chances to bolster its NCAA tournament chances against No. 49 Michigan and Michigan State. Sunday marked what IU Coach Randy Bloemendaal called a breakthrough for IU and could serve as a starting point for a postseason run. “We have been playing well, but now we’re coming off a little bit of confidence after Sunday’s win,” Bloemendaal said. “I think we’re in a good position for the guys to win a lot in a row.” IU is 3-6 and tied for eighth in the Big Ten. Michigan State is also 3-6, while Michigan is 4-5. This weekend could have a large effect on Big Ten Tournament seeding and potential postseason berths. “It’s good prep for what’s to come,” Bloemendaal said. “In the postseason you lose and you’re out, and I think we’re getting into that a week ahead of time, or maybe two weeks ahead of time.”
Bloemendaal said his team will need to play better than it did Sunday against Penn State to leave Michigan with two wins. “I feel like on the road, you need to be 10 to 15 percent better than your opponent,” Bloemendaal said. “To be 10 to 15 percent better, I feel like we have to be better than we were on Sunday. That’s what we’ve been working on this week.” On paper, Michigan appears the more difficult match. The Wolverines are ranked 10 spots higher than IU, have a singles player ranked a spot higher than IU sophomore Samuel Monette and have a doubles team ranked 28 spots higher than Monette and sophomore Daniel Bednarczyk. Despite the Hoosiers looking the weaker team on paper, Bloemendaal said the numbers do not fully tell the story of this match. “At this point in the season, Michigan’s a little bit shaky with their confidence,” Bloemendaal said. “They’ve been knocked back a little bit further than we have in the last month. “If we can continue to compete the way we’re
competing, our confidence should be higher match to match.” Though Michigan State’s overall record of 9-13 may appear unimpressive, its home record of 8-1 is what makes this match a difficult one, Bloemendaal said. Michigan State’s one loss at home was against No. 1 Ohio State, a team that has not lost in the Big Ten this season. IU won April 6 at Iowa, and Bloemendaal said IU was in a great position to win April 9 at Purdue. Those were IU’s last two road matches before this weekend. “The first time is the hardest,” Bloemendaal said. “I’m not saying that the next ones won’t be hard, because they will be. When the pressure hits everything evens out and now we’ve done it against a higher ranked team. “This team is talented, but we haven’t been playing that well. We’re talking a lot about what we need to do in order to compete hard in every match and let the tennis take care of itself.”
Track and field heads to Lexington for Ken. Relays BY TORI ZIEGE vziege@indiana.edu @ToriZiege
After a successful outing for the IU pole vault program, the men and women pole-vaulters will rest this weekend while the remainder of the team travels to the Kentucky Relays. This weekend, IU track and field has its sights set on Lexington, Ky., where the Kentucky Wildcats will play host to a variety of competitors on their signature blue track. “It’s a brand-new venue for us, so we’ll see some different teams that we don’t normally see,” IU Associate Head Coach Jeff Huntoon said. “There’s a lot of upside to it.” Junior distance runner Evan Esselink returns to competition this Saturday for the first time since his record-setting 10-kilometer race in Stanford. Running the 10K in 29 minutes and 28 seconds — the sixth-best finish in school history — marked a turning point in Esselink’s focus as a runner. “I realized that I am definitely a distance guy,” he said. “A switch went off in my brain like, ‘This is what I’m good at. This is what I want to do.’”
For Esselink, the upside of the Kentucky Relays is sharpening his speed as he builds toward longer races. He’ll compete in the mile, his first ever on an outdoor track. “Doing something a little faster before a 5K is always good. It makes the pace a little easier,” he said. “And I know that the 5K will then help the 10K feel easier when it matters.” This Saturday’s competition will mark back-to-back weekends for IU track and field in Kentucky. Last weekend, the team took part in the two-on-two Border Battle meet, dueling with Purdue against opponents Louisville and Notre Dame in Louisville, Ky. Senior Kelsie Ahbe led the women’s pole vault group in a strong performance at Cardinal Park. This week, she earned Big Ten Field Athlete of the Week honors with a personal record vault of 4.32 meters. That mark is a stadium record, meet record and the fifth-best clearance in the NCAA. “To see (Ahbe) have this kind of success and just knowing how much dedication, how much time and work she’s put in, that’s the rewarding part,” Assistant
Coach Jake Wiseman said. Ahbe is the second of back-to-back Big Ten Athlete of the Week recipients for the Hoosiers. Senior Kyla Buckley, the other recipient, will face some fierce competition this weekend in the women’s shot put — an area where the Wildcats are strong. “This is a part of the country that seems to produce a lot of good throwing talent,” Huntton said. “Between a Southern Illinois, a Kentucky, an Indiana and a Louisville, you’ve got quite a concentration of really good female throwers. It’s a good opportunity for Kyla to continue to see competition at the national level.” For the first time in several weeks, the majority of the team will compete together, as athletes continue to strive for regional qualifying marks. But for Wiseman, this is the opportune weekend to give his the pole-vaulters time to rest before gearing up to championship form. “It’s a long year,” he said. “There’s a lot more track and field left for the athletes, and a lot more travel. “So anytime I feel the best benefit is to stay home to get more training in, that’s what we want to do.”
Men’s golf looking to solidify its NCAA Tournament résumé BY CASEY KRAJEWSKI crkrajew@indiana.edu
The IU men’s golf team will travel to West Lafayette for this weekend’s Boilermaker Invitational, their last regular season tournament. Fresh off their first win of the season in their home tournament last weekend, IU Coach Mike Mayer said the team has been steadily improving the last several weeks. “I think we’re definitely moving in the right direction,” Mayer said. “We’re playing better, but golf is a fickle sport, so we’ll see.” The Hoosiers will start the same five golfers they used last week. Senior David Mills, sophomore Max Kollin, freshman Will Seger and juniors Nicholas Grubnich and Andrew Fogg form the lineup. Mills is coming off his best finish of the season, a tie for second, and Mayer said he is firmly secure in the number one spot in the lineup. Just as he did in the NYX Hoosier Invitational, Kollin
will golf from the second position. He said the team finally showed what they can do last weekend. “I feel like we have a lot of confidence moving forward,” Kollin said. “We finally put together three solid rounds back to back.” Seger, Grubnich and Fogg round out IU’s top five. They tied for third, tied for fifth and tied for 19th last week, respectively. One team that lineup will try to beat is the host school, Purdue. While Grubnich and Kollin said the instate rivalry is extra motivation for the Hoosiers, Mayer said he doesn’t worry as much about his competition. “I like to beat everybody,” Mayer said. “It’s irrelevant for me whether it’s Purdue or anybody else. We just have to do what we have to do. We have to take care of ourselves first and foremost.” The Boilermakers won’t be the only familiar face in West Lafayette. With seven Big Ten teams competing this weekend, Grubnich said the tournament will be
a good lead into the Big Ten Championship in French Lick, Ind., in two weeks. “It should be a good little preview,” Grubnich said. “The Purdue course as well as the French Lick course are designed by Pete Dye, and they are very similar.” The Hoosiers will have to perform well this weekend and in the Big Ten Championship if they hope to make the postseason this year. No IU men’s golf team has missed the NCAA Tournament since 2007, a sixyear stretch of postseason appearances. Mayer said his team’s performance in the 2013-14 season has put that streak in jeopardy, though he sees opportunity to bolster the Hoosiers’ resume. “We’ve kind of put ourselves behind the eight ball,” Mayer said. “But this is a tough tournament with a tough field, and it’ll give us an opportunity to move up in the rankings. If we do well these next few weeks, I think we got a good shot of getting in.”
