Spierer trial date set for early May FROM IDS REPORTS

The jury trial date in the negligence suit filed by the parents of missing IU student Lauren Spierer is set for May 4, 2015.

The trial will take place in the Birch Bayh Federal Building and United States Courthouse, according to court documents.

Parents Rob and Charlene Spierer filed the suit in late May 2013, claiming Corey Rossman and Jay Rosenbaum — two men believed to have provided Lauren with alcohol the night she disappeared — owed their daughter “duty of care.”

Rosenbaum and Rossman have denied the allegations, according to court documents.

The Spierers previously attempted to seal certain evidence in the lawsuit, but their request was denied. Last week the Spierers’ lawyers subpoenaed entities including Verizon Wireless, AT&T and IU for records.

IU student Lauren Spierer has yet to be located following exhaustive searches since she was last seen in the early morning hours of June 3, 2011.

Schools given $27,500 for literacy program

BY SYDNEY MURRAY slmurray@indiana.edu @sydlm13

Duke Energy has recently given the Foundation of Monroe County Community Schools $27,500 to fund the Real Men Read program for the next two school years in the Monroe County Community School Corporation.

The program is an early childhood literacy program that works with children in kindergarten. The program will pair a male mentor with each kindergarten classroom in MCCSC. Mentors will be in the same classrooms once a month for five months starting in the fall.

The different months will probably be spread throughout the school year, said Cyrilla Helm, executive director of FMCCS. The mentors will read a book with the children and then discuss it with them. Each child will also receive a copy of the book to take home.

Helm said there has been a large push in MCCSC for early childhood literacy. She said it is important to make sure children are reading at grade level by third grade.

After third grade, they stop learning to read and start reading to learn, Helm said. If they don’t

U senior Kelsie Ahbe prepares to vault 4.20 meters. She doesn’t know if this height will be enough to claim the Big Ten Indoor Title.

She makes her approach, picking up speed as she glides down the runway, and she plants her pole into the ground.

The pole curves beneath her. She pulls her feet level with her head for just a moment and drives her body into the air.

Teetering on the brink between silence and cheers, the crowd at the SPIRE facility in Geneva, Ohio,

watches the competition at the Big Ten Women’s Pole-vault Championship.

It’s the last year Ahbe will vault before these fans and the last chance to earn the Big Ten title that has eluded her since her freshman year.

She hangs there for a moment, caught between the bar and a dream to become Big Ten Champion.

This moment at the 2014 Big Ten Indoor Championships is what Ahbe has strived for — through the SEE TRACK, PAGE 6

Faculty council approves new course evaluation service

BY KATHRINE SCHULZE schulzek@indiana.edu @Kathrine_Schulze

Soon, students won’t have to go to ratemyprofessor.com to find out if a class is right for them; IU will provide the same information.

Beyond the prior grades professors have given, students will be able to find out how involved the instructor is and how much time a class might take using an online database.

“The fact of the matter is students use this information,” said Dennis Groth, interim vice provost for undergraduate education.

This online course evaluation was approved at a Bloomington Faculty

Council meeting.

Both the database and questionnaire are part of IU’s Online Course Questionnaire Policy, which was approved in 2012.

“I think that the real benefit to students of these questions, which we’re asking, is to really assess how much time a student is going to spend in a given class so that they can better accommodate other classes in their schedule,” IU Student Association president Jose Mitjavila said.

IU will provide only aggregate data and distribution, excluding students’ general comments, Groth said.

“We just want to see answers to the qualitative questions,” Mitjavila said.

The issue was raised that this database might not be useful to students who have to take a required course that only offers one option in time and professor.

“From a student perspective, even in a vacuum with no other options, there would still be utility in the availability of this information in the sense that it would help students manage expectations for their semester,” said Chris Coffman, Graduate and Professional Student Organization president.

IU’s Open Access policy was also discussed at the meeting. The SEE COUNCIL, PAGE 6

Mother notices lack of campus resources

BY DANI CASTONZO dcastonz@indiana.edu

Lynette Anigbo showed up for her first class of junior year with a backpack, a diaper bag, a breast pump and her baby boy strapped to her chest.

Anigbo got pregnant at the beginning of her sophomore year when she was 20 years old.

“I really didn’t like kids, and I didn’t want to get married,” Anigbo said. “I was just going to jet set and see the world. That was my plan.”

Her boyfriend at the time was two years older, and Anigbo said he took off for California shortly after finding out she was pregnant.

Her parents live in Nigeria, and she had to call them from across the world with the news.

“My mom said, ‘Call your dad,’” Anigbo said. “My dad was like, ‘Well, you’re not the first girl, and you won’t be the last girl. Make sure you finish school.’”

Now, Anigbo is 26 and in her final year as a master’s student at the School of Public and Environmental Affairs.

She has her own apartment, a job and a 5-year-old son, Charles, an outgoing kindergartner who likes to play soccer and guitar.

Throughout the past six years at IU, Anigbo had to learn how to raise a child in an environment better suited for the single and carefree.

Students with children on campus, like Anigbo, can spend years on the waiting lists at the IU childcare centers. The lactation rooms are limited and difficult to find.

This past year’s closing of the Office of Women’s Affairs eliminated a safe and obvious place for pregnant students to go for help.

IU houses five child care centers, which are reserved for the children of IU students and faculty. A third of the parents who use these facilities are students, according to Coordinator of Child Care Services Tim Dunnuck.

Two hundred children are enrolled in the program, and 500 are on the waitlist.

Because only eight infants are allowed in a classroom at a time, many younger children put on the waitlist do not get a spot, Dunnuck said.

The infants who do get into the program end up filling up the toddler classes as well, gridlocking the waitlist until the child is of preschool age or older.

“Right now, if you don’t get your child in as an infant, your next opportunity might not be until it is three years old,” Dunnuck said.

For parents who do not gain a spot in a day care, Dunnuck said, he recommends a list of alternate options in the community.

Though Bloomington has childcare available, Dunnuck

said the quality of care in the community varies significantly.

“The IU centers have traditionally been the best centers in the community,” Dunnuck said.

Dunnuck said he recommends prospective parents start looking for child care when the mother is pregnant.

Anigbo said she put her son on the waitlist a week after she found out she was pregnant, gaining a spot for him. But children can’t enroll in the IU day care until they are 7 weeks old, so she brought her son to class with her until he was old enough to enroll.

She received support from her peers and professors.

Anigbo said all but one of her professors in undergraduate and graduate school said she could bring her son to class with her.

When she went into the hallway to feed her son during one class, Anigbo said, her professor lectured from the open door so she could continue listening.

Being a full-time student and a full-time mom is challenging, and without the help of her parents or a partner, Anigbo said she had to learn a lot about raising a child on her own.

After making it through her son’s first five months, she approached the women at the former Office of Women’s Affairs and offered to write a Parents’ Packet that would help guide young mothers.

In the packet, she highlights some of the resources available in the community, including information on breast-feeding on campus, day cares to try and the best way to schedule classes with a child.

Anigbo described the Office of Women’s Affairs as a safe place for women to talk about pregnancy, as well as self-esteem problems, rape, sexual assault and sexism on campus.

It was dissolved last year, and its responsibilities were divided between Human Resources and the Office of Student Affairs.

Anigbo cited Associate Dean of Students Carol McCord, former assistant dean of the Office of Women’s Affairs, as one of the most helpful resources for pregnant women on campus.

McCord has assisted Anigbo throughout her son’s life, helping her organize her classes so she could remain in school and telling her what rights professors and students have in terms of bringing their children to the classroom.

Anigbo said it was such a helpful office because women knew exactly where to go with these uncomfortable or taboo issues.

“It gets lost,” Angibo said.

“It’s not easy to be like, ‘Hey, I think this is a specifically a

girl issue’ because most of the time you’re trying to blend in.”

Twenty-year-old Darian Foster is a friend of Anigbo’s and another student mom on campus. She is a junior youth development student at the School of Public Health.

Her husband is also a student at IU, and they have been married for two years.

Their son is 11 months old.

Foster said she surprised herself with her resilience and ability to get things done.

She no longer has the luxury of wasting time.

“Many students complain about not having enough time to do homework or study, but you haven’t studied your hardest until you’ve had to study on a time crunch because your child may wake up at any moment,” Foster said.

Foster said she has not turned to the University for many resources, using government aid and Bloomington resources such as the Crisis Pregnancy Center, which offers discounted products and support for mothers in need. She is only aware of one lactation room on campus, Foster said, which is located in the Indiana Memorial Union.

There are seven lactation rooms on campus, Anigbo said, but they are hard to find without asking.

Some require codes to get in. Others are merely bathrooms with a chair next to it, she said.

“It’s disgusting,” Anigbo said. “You’re pumping next to a toilet.”

The IU Health Center does not offer pregnant students prenatal care IU health and sexuality educator Kathryn Brown said.

However, Brown said pregnant college women can meet with IU reproductive providers to discuss their options and be referred to resource centers in the community.

Anigbo said she tells her son that when he gets older, he is going to go to college and graduate school.

When her son’s father is watching Charles, Anigbo said she walks around campus and watches the students laughing, playing music in the grass and sitting on the rooftops.

She wonders what it would be like to feel carefree again, to not have anyone depending on her.

However, Anigbo said she does not regret her choice, even if it meant growing up a little earlier.

“I realized that no one is really doing anything more meaningful than what I’m doing when I’m taking care of my son,” Anigbo said. “I’m not really missing anything.

When I’m out, I want to go back home and lay down with my child.”

IU School of Informatics Ph.D. student David Nemer looks out on the horizon in Brazil, where he traveled to research the use of technology in the slums.

Ph.D. student studies technology use in slums

BY DANI CASTONZO dcastonz@indiana.edu

In the slums of Victoria, Brazil, residents live in a war zone overrun by a drug cartel. The average household makes about $400 to $600 a month. Every day is challenging and uncertain.

For these people, IU School of Informatics Ph.D. student David Nemer said, technology can be the difference between life and death.

Nemer has spent the last six months in Victoria, Brazil studying the technology use of residents in the slums.

Although many locals have cell phones, service is limited and many cannot afford a data plan.

The residents have to turn to tele-centers and LAN centers, which provide large desktop computers to use for free or at a discounted price.

These centers represent the only locations in town that are off-limits to drug lords. Residents come to escape shootings, receive mail, safely catch up with friends and learn.

“When shootings happen, they run inside the LAN houses,” Nemer said.

“It’s the only place that people go and have access to have technology, and the drug lords won’t try to get in there, because the owner will shut it down, and there’s no access to technology anymore.”

Nemer said Facebook is the main form of social networking. When it is not safe to visit their friends or family in different territories of the slums, locals count on the privacy of Facebook messaging to stay in touch with their friends and families.

Locals can also turn to these online forums for an escape from the dangerous and uncertain war zone around them.

“I met this girl that said, ‘Sometimes I feel

like screaming and asking for help, but I can’t do this on the streets,’” Nemer said. “’But I go online, and I know that someone will be online listening to me. I can read good stuff and see good stuff. I can get out of this crazy reality that I live in.’”

But they have to be careful what they post, because the drug cartels closely follow what happens online.

Any status about the drug lords or drug wars could lead to serious repercussions.

Like the United States, Nemer said, he found an emerging “selfie movement” in the slums. But, unlike the U.S., the Brazilians are not trying to show off their make-up or destination for the night.

“The selfies, which are really huge, are used so they can express their emotions without being too explicit or fearing retaliation,” Nemer said. “They’ll post an angry photo on Facebook, but the drug cartel won’t know what’s going on.”

Nemer grew up in this town, but he did not visit the slums until he made it the subject of his dissertation. He lived in the wealthier portion of Victoria, where middle and upper class residents do not interact with the people of the slums.

He was told the slums were where all the bad people lived and everyone there was involved with the drug war. He described visiting the slums for the first time as a “culture shock.”

“I thought they were just poor,” Nemer said. “I didn’t think they were having all this trouble, but by looking at these peoples’ use of technology, you can identify their struggles with health care and education.”

Nemer has always been interested in how people use technology around the world, he said. After studying abroad in the U.S. in his senior year of high school,

Nemer completed his undergraduate education in computer science in Brazil and a master’s in computer science in Germany.

Now, he is completing his dissertation at IU. Graduate student Lindsay Ems has known Nemer since 2010, when they met in a Social Informatics seminar. She describes him as funny, kind and smart, in and out of his work.

She said she admires the personal connection and involvement Nemer has in his work.

“He gets to know people one-on-one and invests a lot of himself in the work he does,” Ems said. “Because of this, I think he’s able to do things that others haven’t been able to do in the past.”

Eden Medina, Nemer’s adviser, said his work is notable in its “deeply human understanding” of how poor people in Latin America are using technology.

“We are fortunate that David brings this international perspective to the IU classroom as an assistant instructor while also raising issues of economic inequality and social justice,” Medina said.

After analyzing his research, Nemer plans to return to Brazil and work to improve the well-being of the people living in the slums. He said he wants to help them by designing a better keyboard or going to the local Congress and lobbying for more security in the slums.

Ultimately, Nemer believes that guidance and better education is key to helping the residents of the slums.

“Technology could give you more access to information, and if you turn that info into knowledge, then that’s power,” Nemer said.

“But nothing will be done if they just have the technology there, and they are not turning that information for their own benefit.”

GOP hosts straw poll gauging local input

BY BRIAN SEYMOUR briseymo@indiana.edu @briseymo

Grassroots Conservatives conducted a straw poll Tuesday to gauge the current standing of several GOP candidates running for office in the upcoming primary election.

The straw poll allowed the audience to assess the worthiness of the nine candidates on a variety of issues expected to be of concern later this year.

Some of the issues discussed included the food and beverage tax and the recent assessor’s error that resulted in the county having to reimburse a taxpayer $700,000. “Our main goal is to develop enthusiasm and identify our strongest candidates,� Grassroots Conservatives Coordinator Robert Hall said.

Grassroots Conservatives is an umbrella organization comprising conservative Republicans, Tea Party patriots, Libertarians and other conservative groups.

Many of the candidates are unknown to potential voters, Hall said.

The poll gives the voters the chance to hear from those who the community might not have otherwise heard.

Some members of the crowd thought that goal was met. “There were 60 people in here, spread out amongst the county, so it gives you a good measuring stick,� IU College Republicans President Riley Parr said. “The main key is whether or not these people go out there and talk to other voters.�

The event had a good turnout and was recorded

A former IU student arrested in January for attempting to manufacture an explosive device was transported from Marion County Jail to Monroe County Jail Monday for his upcoming trial in Monroe County Circuit Court.

Ryder Pickens, 20, pleaded not guilty in his initial hearing in late January, according to court documents.

In late February, his attorney filed a notice for the defense of insanity.

Pickens had chemicals and equipment that could have been used to create explosives in his basement room at 428 E. Varsity Lane, according to a Bloomington Police Department press release.

Based on a report made

by Pickens’ roommate concerning dangerous chemicals and laboratory equipment, city police obtained a search

The Marion County Republican Party could not be reached for comment.

Still, Ballard’s office and the Democrats are in agreement on one point: Indianapolis shouldn’t rule out a national party convention at a later point.

Even though 2016 isn’t an option, Visit Indy, the tourism and conference bureau for the city, is always looking at opportunities like the political conventions, Lotter said. In 2000, the city placed a bid for the Republican convention. It has received initial interest in a bid for other election years, as well. “We’re considered the No. 1 convention city in the country,� Miller said. “We can put on NASCAR races, the Indy 500, Super Bowls, NCAA final fours. If we can do all of those things, we should certainly be able to come together to put on something like one of the national political party conventions.�

City seeks to ďŹ ll vacant board seats FROM IDS REPORTS

Nelson Shaffer, a candidate for county council, passes out ballots during the GOP straw poll Tuesday at the Bloomington Monroe County Public Library.

by Community Access Television Services, said Gregg Knott, a candidate running for a Monroe County council seat.

The candidates were each asked to present a fiveminute speech introducing themselves and addressing questions pertaining to the office they were running for.

Questions included who U.S. Representative candidates would vote for as Speaker of the House and what county council candidates thought of the food and beverage tax and the juvenile county option income tax.

Following the speeches, the crowd was asked to vote not for their favorite candidate, but for whether they would vote for that candidate in an actual election scenario.

To remove bias when voting on more than two candidates, Hall used an independent voting system.

Audience members in attendance could state their endorsement, neutrality or disapproval of a candidate. “The way to do that is to vote on each candidate with a plus, minus or zero,� Hall said. “You can give pluses

On Jan. 17, police found several chemicals, including nitric acid, ferric chloride and common household cleaners.

Pickens admitted to possessing laboratory equipment and chemicals, according to the press release.

He denied purchasing these items for making an explosive device.

Pickens was transported to IU-Health Hospital for a mental evaluation.

The roommate reported to police seeing a website open on Pickens’ computer detailing instructions on how to make an explosive device.

The same day, police returned to Pickens’ residence on a second search warrant because of a parcel delivery, according to the press release.

The items were identified as additional laboratory equipment, sodium nitrate, black iron oxide, hydrochloric

Votes were tallied for each candidate, and the candidate with the most positive rating won.

This voting system was more a measure of approval than a means of seeing who is the best candidate to choose to run in the primary election, Parr said. “A plurality vote represents how it actually is on election day,� Parr said.

Kathy Lowe Heil won the spot for United States Representative and Paul White and Gregg Knott received highest approval for Monroe County Council. “People are just not happy with the job Mr. Young is doing,� Heil said. “They’re just happy to know there is another choice.�

Primary elections will take place May 6 at the Showers Hall City Building.

Former student moved to Monroe County jail FROM IDS REPORTS

After being asked for bids by the Republicans and Democrats, Indianapolis won’t be the host city of a national political party convention in 2016.

News broke this past week that the Democratic National Committee put Indianapolis on a list of 15 cities it would request a proposal from. The city was already out of the running for the Republican National Convention. “The city has studied this for many, many months when we were first approached,� said Marc Lotter, communications director for Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard. “The city already has 18 other conventions booked during the time frame the two parties were looking at to host conventions.�

The mayor’s office considered the opportunities to be the host city for either convention but realized the

drain on city resources would be too significant to make it work, Lotter said. The cost to the city and private donors could be massive. “The financial commitment would be double the amount of money required to host a Super Bowl,� he said.

The Marion County Democratic Party, meanwhile, is crying foul. Joel Miller, chair of the county party organization, said the city refused to bid for the Democrats’ convention without seriously considering it in the first place. “My issue with what the city did wasn’t the fact that they denied it, it’s the fact that they denied it before ever even considering it,� Miller said. “I think they denied it because it’s the Democratic convention.�

That’s not the case, Lotter said. Refusing to bid on the conventions was not a political ploy by Ballard, a Republican, he said. “This is, again, both political parties,� Lotter said. “This

acid, sulfuric acid, potassium chlorate, strontium nitrate, barium nitrate and potassium perchlorate.

The combination of nitrates and chlorates could potentially lead to an explosion similar to the Oklahoma City bombing, Bloomington Township Department Chief Faron Livingston said in January.

Pickens was transported to Marion County Jail on April 19 for separate charges from 2013 — battery with injury, resisting law enforcement and criminal mischief — a Marion County Jail official said.

A trial date has yet to be scheduled in the Monroe County Circuit Court as of Tuesday.

Pickens is scheduled to appear in the Marion County Circuit Court for a May 19 hearing.

EDITORIAL BOARD

Ostrowski, out

ILLUSTRATION BY LILY FENOGLIO

Welcome to affirmative inaction We say: Don’t limit the less fortunate The Supreme Court recently made headlines when it decided, in a 6-2 vote, that an attempt by Michigan voters to ban affirmative action in the state was and is constitutional.

Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy, in the majority opinion, stated, “This case is not how the debate about racial preferences should be resolved. It is about who may resolve it.”

Affirmative action itself isn’t why the Court ruled the way it did, Kennedy said.

Rather, it’s because a majority of Michigan citizens voted for the amendment.

The Editorial Board finds it disconcerting that our nation’s highest court chooses again and again to simply ignore the idea that race is still an issue in this country.

The reason affirmative action was created in the first place is because it was widely believed and agreed that people of color were afforded fewer opportunities than white people.

Unfortunately, it seems members of the Supreme Court, the supposed créme de la créme of intellectual Americans, have simply chosen to put their fingers in their ears when it comes to racial inequality.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, about 29 percent of Americans older than 25 had a four-year college degree in 2009.

Meanwhile, only 17 percent of African-Americans and 13 percent of Hispanics had four-year degrees.

The real question remains, however, as to what exactly causes this gap in higher education.

Conservative justices on the Supreme Court would prefer not to talk about that, but in reality it’s because there’s a huge monetary gap between races as well.

As of 2009, the median household net worth for white Americans was $113,149. Black Americans had a median household net worth of only $5,677, and Hispanics didn’t fare much better at $6,325.

Now, that isn’t to say affirmative action is a perfect program in any stretch of the imagination.

Rather, the Editorial Board finds it disconcerting that the Court deemed it acceptable for a majority of citizens to theoretically limit the opportunities of the minority.

In her dissenting opinion, Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor said, “Without checks, democratically approved legislation can oppress minority groups.”

At IU, there’s obviously a racial gap between students. For the freshmen class this year, only 19 percent of students were not white, and an additional 8 percent of students were international.

The Editorial Board firmly believes affirmative action, when applied correctly, can give those who are less fortunate in Indianapolis or Gary a shot at getting an education and bettering themselves.

The Baltimore blues record that includes drug and theft charges. So, here’s your answer: he didn’t get rejected because of his religious beliefs. It’s because he’s a criminal. Right?

Wrong.

Jenkins reached out for an explanation. The director of the program he was applying to, Adrienne Dougherty, sent him an email in response saying, “I understand that religion is a major part of your life ... however, this field is not the place for religion.”

Go ahead and read that again.

Dougherty, in her atheistic and infinite wisdom, literally admitted that Jenkins’ religion was a part of his being denied.

Now, maybe religion shouldn’t be a part of the field Jenkins wanted to study — radiation therapy, FYI — but for a college spokesperson to come right

out and say that is just stupid. I don’t know what else to call it.

I could make a good community college joke here, but I’m going to go ahead and take the high road.

In an ironic twist that probably isn’t even that ironic because we’ve already established how stupid the people at Community College of Baltimore County are, spokesperson Hope Davis, when reached for comment about the debacle, said, “We have so many people from so many different backgrounds and so many different cultures. Just to think that we would discriminate based on religion ... it’s just not something that we do.”

Oh, OK, Hope. Whatever you say.

The really unfortunate part about all this is that it’s

thank you to all the teachers who got me here.

You can’t get through college without some sort of foundation, and I would never be where I am today without your original instillation of both educational style and sass.

I would be remiss without thanking all the friends I’ve made here.

You’ve been the best group of asshats around. You have also been a testament to this University and how talented students can be — you have all amazed me countless times.

Finally, thank you to my family. Of course I mean my immediate family that continues to be my sticking place, but also the almost 10 other mothers and supporters I have back in Western Springs, Ill. It’s easy to become selfcentered and lost in academics in college, but I’ve never forgotten all the help and joy you’ve given me.

So, what can you actually get from this? Very little.

Or maybe the takeaway is realizing that this University isn’t so bad, your parents aren’t so strict, and you’ve got a pretty damn good life here at IU. Spend some time thanking others before graduation, and then you won’t need one big column to do it.

Goodbye, Bloomington.

Is there a better solution than affirmative action?

There might be.

The point, however, is that we are still unsure of what that better solution really is.

Meanwhile, the high court seems to be more comfortable with doing nothing than at least attempting to address racial inequality.

The answer to solving racial inequality is not going to be found by burying our heads in the sand and hoping the issue solves itself.

Society has shackled people of color with unnecessary wage, employment and education gaps. And now the Supreme Court wants to only tighten the cuffs.

According to the Baltimore Sun, a man named Brandon Jenkins is suing a Baltimore community college, claiming he was denied admittance because he mentioned God during an interview.

OK, so eschewing the inane fact that there’s a community college in Baltimore that interviews perspective students, let’s get on to everything wrong with this story.

First of all, rejecting a perspective student because of his religious beliefs? This is, like, illegal, or at the very least highly unethical; therefore, it would be pretty stupid for a college to do this.

So at first glance, this just sounds like some Biblethumping moron angry that he’s too stupid to get into a community college.

This is my last column, and there’s been a trend through the years that seniors get to write a sappy, self-serving little piece and pretend it fits within the realm of journalism. I’m doing just that.

I’ve never been good at writing thank you notes.

My handwriting looks as if I learned the alphabet from a barnyard hen, and I never want to put the money toward stamps because email exists, and that’s free.

But I recognize their value, and because I’ve been given this platform, I’d like to write a thank you note.

My first huge thanks goes out to IU — the institution, the departments and the professors.

I know I was hard on you — on this platform specifically — but it was never out of malice.

You never failed to stimulate my thinking.

And to all of you who have ever felt you are better than this University, you know it’s not true because you’re hungry for more knowledge and more experience, and you wouldn’t be feeling these things if you weren’t aroused.

Thank you to the Indiana Daily Student for giving me this platform for three years, and thank you to all of the student groups I’ve been a part of throughout the years.

The fact that IU is able to trust so many student organizations to be independent is pretty remarkable — not every university does that.

The drive I have seen in students creating, producing and distributing their own work with pride and grace has perhaps been the constant, most formative virtue I’ve experienced on this campus.

OK to date your own race Last week, Slate published a column that ruffled my feathers.

Reiham Salam wrote a column with the headline, “Is It Racist to Date Only People of Your Own Race?”

The publication is kind enough to tell us the answer right below the title: yes.

A title like that is bound to attract a ton of attention, which was probably the intention of the editors.

Salam talks about OKCupid’s new way of filtering potential dates using questions. The controversial one is “Would you strongly prefer to go out with someone of your own skin color/racial background?”

Salam goes on to express his surprise at the number of people who actually answer the question — in particular, the number of people who answer yes.

He chalks it up to in-group favoritism but never explicitly calls same-race dating racist.

Whether the title of the column is because of lazy editors who don’t properly read through the copy submitted to them or desperate editors trying to increase readership, I must attempt to respectfully disagree with it.

Dating someone of the same race is not racist, nor is having preferences toward people of your race.

My mother was harassed throughout high school for dating black men. She was labeled a “nigger-lover” and even people in our family looked down on her.

But when I ask her why she chose to face discrimination when a single white boy would have saved her so much trouble, she always responds, “Because I prefer black men.”

This was not just some rebellious phase my mom went through. In the 20 years I’ve been alive, I have only known my mom to date one nonblack man.

And even as a child, my mom had more interest in black men on television than the white ones.

My mom’s preference is not the result of in-group fa-

voritism. She’s not black, and she certainly didn’t grow up around a lot of black people.

For the longest time you could count the number of black people in our hometown on two hands.

There is simply something about black men my mom finds more attractive, and she’s not afraid to admit it.

Yet, most would not call her racist for this preference because it results in an interracial relationship.

But it’s the same kind of discrimination.

If gearing toward only your own race is racist, than gearing specifically toward another race is just as racist because you’re discriminating all the others.

In the same vein, my having crushes on only white boys while growing up was not racist.

In-group favoritism would support that preference because I was raised solely by my white family, who I look like and am most comfortable around.

But I am under no illusion that I look like my family. My hair is far too coarse, my nose too wide and my skin too dark for me or society to ever consider me white. But I still prefer white people.

We don’t scream at people for being close-minded bigots when they express a preference for blondes to brunettes.

And we don’t call people who only date the opposite gender homophobic.

Race is just one physical attribute among many that attracts interest. It is not something that can be controlled by the subject or the beholder.

The fact is you like what you like. And you shouldn’t have to adjust your preferences to please an oversensitive society. lnbanks@indiana.edu @LexiaBanks

Assaulting sexual assault The Obama administration issued aggressive guidelines to combat sexual assault on college campuses.

Meanwhile, reform of the way the military handles sexual assault among its own ranks continues to languish in Congress.

The measures include confidentiality for reporters of sexual assault, anonymous student surveys on sexual assault and other anti-assault measures universities have found successful.

They come mostly from a report on sexual assault issued by a task force formed by the administration earlier this year.

The administration also established Notalone.gov, a new government website tracking enforcement and offering information to victims of sexual assault.

These are important actions for the safety of college campuses nationwide. To many, they seem like common sense ideas, but sometimes common sense ideas are the easiest to overlook.

Sexual assaults in the military, however, remain unaddressed by this administration.

A bill seeking to expand options for individuals who are sexually assaulted in the military passed the Senate unanimously in March.

That bill has failed to move in the House of Representatives. The bill’s ability to unite the entire Senate is an indicator of its minor scope.

Though it offers victims new options and strengthens the rules of evidence in sexual assault proceedings, it leaves the military justice system intact.

Cases of military sexual assault will still be tried in military tribunals, not civilian courts.

If the commander-inchief can unilaterally issue

new, more effective guidelines for U.S. universities, surely he can do so for the U.S. military.

Sexual assault on a campus is no more or less heinous than sexual assault on a military base.

Sexual assault on university campuses is endemic in this country. According to the White House task force, one in five women in college will be a victim of sexual assault.

Statistics on sexual assault in the military are unreliable in that they represent a culture unfriendly to reporting.

In a 12-month period beginning in June 2012, members of the U.S. Armed Forces were 15 times more likely to be sexually assaulted — and report it — than to be killed by an enemy.

The expansion of the options to victims is a start, but these cases need to be taken out of the military justice system.

The U.S. military needs to be reminded that it serves at the will of the people and within the scope of their discipline, not beyond it.

Clearly, the U.S. military needs reform just as desperately as U.S. colleges.

When we applaud the members of our armed forces for their sacrifices on our behalf, it should be for their willingness to fight for our country, not their assumption of the risk of sexual assault. drlreed@indiana.edu @D_L_Reed

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Re: Opera is a white man’s game I was extremely disappointed and angered upon reading the column “Opera is a white man’s game.”

While it is hard to deny that opera is still viewed today as an elitist art form, opera companies and educational institutions around the world are making efforts to make opera more accessible and to broaden audiences.

Opera companies are encouraging audience members to “come as you are” in jeans and a T-shirt, offering educational discussions before the performances to make the stories more accessible, and offering reduced prices for students in order to invite a younger audience to participate in the opera culture.

In addition, professional opera companies and universities have outreach programs to bring shortened versions of operas into schools.

Even IU has a program called Roundabout Opera for Kids in which students and faculty members travel to local schools bringing short operas and relatable characters to schoolchildren.

I highly doubt that all of these schoolchildren are white, and I know for a fact

Child abuse in Indiana About 80 percent of the substantiated acts of child abuse and neglect in Indiana are committed by parents or family members.

Perpetrators constantly cite lack of parenting skills and support as the primary reason for their abusive behaviors.

Yet, we continue to ignore the overwhelming need to better prepare parents and caregivers. We must make policy and systemic changes that value children and strengthen families — we cannot wait for someone else to do it.

If we work together to change the way society values and supports the well-being of children and families, and if we can change the cultural attitude to ensure that healthy, safe and nurturing experiences are supported by the actions of every individual and every community, then “preventing child abuse” no longer describes simply the “cause” we each support, but rather, it begins to describe the “effect” of all we do together.

The observance of Child Abuse Prevention Month in April reminds us all of our collective responsibility to make positive choices that will affect the safety and well-being of our children.

Beyond the choices we make every day to assure our own children and the children we know receive nurturing, loving experiences every day, we can make choices that will affect change at the governmental and community level on the systems that

support healthy community and family development.

Child abuse and neglect robs so many of our society’s children of their childhood and their sense of security and well-being.

And while no one can do everything, everyone can do something. And together, we can do anything.

Together, we can advocate for policies and programs that support healthy families and children.

Together, we can live in a prosperous society that understands and genuinely values the well-being of children.

Together, we can prevent child abuse.

It is, however, up to each of us — not someone else — to make a difference in the life of a child.

We must hold policymakers, elected officials and ourselves accountable for being informed, being involved and being dedicated to preventing child abuse before any pain is inflicted on another child.

And while April is recognized nationally as Child Abuse Prevention Month, every day should be about preventing child abuse.

Preventing child abuse is possible if, collectively and individually, we make the right choices and changes for our children — Indiana’s future.

counterparts and were left to whither away alone when their beauty could no longer serve the other white people.

The over-the-top production was a theatrical means to illustrate the extremes of the opulent lifestyle of the white man.

I use the terms “white women” and “white men” in the style of Ostrowski, though I doubt he noticed that the cast consisted of white singers, black singers, Latin American singers and Asian singers.

If he had looked to the orchestra, he would have noticed the same.

Addressing P.Q. Phan’s opera, “The Tale of Lady Thi Kinh,” was also a failed effort on Ostrowski’s part.

While he did recognize that IU is situated in the Midwest and that it is impossible to find enough capable Asian singers to double cast an opera, his comments suggested the predominantly white cast took away from experiencing the culturally diverse story.

If race and class systems are such problems in opera, Ostrowski should have been able to look past the races of the performers and enjoy the

classic Vietnamese story.

The problem in this case is not the “opera culture” Ostrowski describes. It is his narrow-minded view that if the race of the performers doesn’t match the story, it becomes less valuable as a piece of art.

What distresses me most is that Ostrowski is a theater major who lives with several students who have either sung, or stage managed an IU Opera Theater production.

He should be a proponent of the arts instead of detracting from them.

I am not saying Ostrowski is not entitled to an opinion.

Rather, I hoped that someone so close to the arts would make a more constructive, well-researched argument.

While his article certainly sparked a discussion about opera’s place in our modern society, his column would have better served the arts if he had addressed this need for change and how the change is already being put into action through the means listed above.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Re: Opera is a white man’s game Sometimes in journalism, just as in politics, it’s easiest to go for the lowest-hanging fruit. And a few days ago, for Sam Ostrowski, that fruit was the arts — specifically, opera.

In “Opera is a white man’s game,” Ostrowski belabors the fact that opera is written by, performed for and only about white people. Ostrowski couldn’t be bothered by pesky things like facts and research. But that doesn’t matter to him. He has only his pre-conceived notions about rich white people going to the opera — that elitist, snobby genre — and keeps classical music right in its place as the easy target.

He starts from a basic observation (he’s been to five operas here), and then generalizes the entirety of the art form as only about uppermiddle class white people and only for upper-middle class white people.

There is a lot of truth in his initial premise. The majority of the standard repertoire was written in the Western European tradition by Italian, French and German composers. But did he even try to discover the brilliant masterpieces that weren’t? Last summer, Opera Theatre of St. Louis premiered “Terence Blanchard’s Champion,” dealing with race and sexuality in the story of Emile Griffith.

Last season, Chicago Opera

Theater produced Duke Ellington’s “Queenie Pie.” Next season, Chicago Lyric Opera is producing “El Pasado Nunca Se Termina,” a world premiere by José Martinez.

Last year, San Diego Opera premiered the first ever Mariachi opera, also by José Martinez, “Cruzar la Cara de la Luna.” There’s also Scott Joplin’s “Treemonisha,” William Grant’s “Still’s Troubled Island,” Leslie Burr’s “Malcolm X,” “Vanqui,” and Anthony Davis’s “Amistad,” just to name a few.

With about 10 seconds of research, Ostrowski could also have discovered dozens of operas in the standard repertoire about race and culture that were actually written by “dead white men” (as Ostrowski calls them, as if being both dead and white discredits everything they accomplished). Verdi and Rossini both wrote operas on Shakespeare’s “Othello,” dealing with aspects of race. Gershwin wrote “Porgy and Bess,” dealing with issues of race and poverty. Puccini wrote “Madama Butterfly,” observing collisions of race and culture in turn of the century Japan. Verdi’s “Aida” is a story set in ancient Egypt dealing with aspects of race in a story of love and loyalty.

When IU Opera Theater presented a Vietnamese opera by composition faculty

member P.Q. Phan, “The Tale of Lady Thi Kinh,” Ostrowski was still not satisfied, complaining that everybody in the cast was white, moaning that “We realized once the production was set into motion that we’re at IU, in the Midwest.” So Ostrowski’s problem with the entirety of the operatic art form is that he’s seeing opera in Bloomington, where the city is 87 percent white and the University is 76 percent white. Yet, if Ostrowski had done his research, he would discover that 65 percent of the principal artists in “The Tale of Lady Thi Kinh” were American students of Caucasian descent. Sounds to me like IU Opera Theater and the Jacobs School of Music does better to attract and retain people of other races, ethnicities and cultures than IU does as a whole. But, that doesn’t fit into Ostrowski’s idea of opera as a rich white people activity.

He might like to think that opera is just for rich people.

But unbeknownst to most, you can get opera tickets here for as little as $10, and the most expensive student ticket is just $27. By contrast, the resold IU basketball tickets on OneStart range from $25 to $150, and the Little 500 tickets range from $35 to $45. A handful of drinks at any of the downtown bars would set you back at least $10 to $15. If his

idea of getting “bougie every once in a while” is going to be one of the cheapest forms of entertainment in Bloomington, I think he’s a little misinformed. He criticizes IU Opera Theater for needing to sell tickets and doing classic operas, but if next season had Joplin’s “Treemonisha” or Blanchard’s “Champion” on the lineup, my hope is that he would be there.

If Ostrowski’s column were merely about perpetuating the stereotypes of opera as a snobby, elitist art form, only for rich white people, then Ostrowski has discovered absolutely nothing about the changing face of the opera world, the actual prices of the opera tickets here or the meaning of opera as a human emotional experience for all ages, races, religions and sexualities.

If, however, he wants to challenge the Bloomington arts community into wanting and attending more interesting, rarely done operas on the Bloomington stage — those that represent a diverse multiculturalism and are relevant to a modern audience — then he deserves the classical music world’s respect and applause, and I sincerely hope he succeeds.

that not all of the performers are white.

Aside from this program, the IU Opera and Ballet Theater offers reduced prices for students. That’s not to mention opening night tickets are general admission, meaning a student can pay $12 to sit anywhere in the theater.

I would hardly call this expensive for a live performance. Even the price of movie tickets these days is upward of $10.

If a $12 orchestra ticket seems too expensive, the viewer can simply go to the Jacobs School of Music website and livestream the performance for free. If this isn’t making opera more accessible, I do not know what is.

I was lucky enough to sing in the chorus of “La Traviata,” the production Sam Ostrowski attended and seemed so turned off by, written by a “famous dead white man.”

Maybe if he had paid more attention to the opera, he would have realized the entire performance was a commentary on the twisted lives of the courtesans of the time.

I am a graduate student living off campus, and my wife works on campus.

We have had mold issues with our rental unit since November, and we’ve contacted our local city councilman.

We have experienced bullying from our landlord. And we’ve had enough.

I know this is the case for many students living off campus.

We have very little power, as the landlords know we are too busy with school to stand up for ourselves.

And if we do, we are likely to move on soon after we

graduate.

The question here is what about those who stay or those who are here long term and are willing to stand up for themselves?

Last Friday we received a “notice to quit” from our landlords, which basically means they don’t want to deal with us.

So they want to kick us out, but they also want to keep collecting our rent.

For obvious reasons, being a graduate student and having to make payments on my and my wife’s student loans while signing a lease elsewhere

would mean we would have two monthly rental payments.

This, for us, is basically impossible.

We contacted our landlord and tried to ask for a release of liability letting us move on with our lives and presumably our health.

But the landlord said no and hung up on me. I thought maybe we were disconnected, so I called her back.

Yet she said it was intentional, and if we were not moved out on Friday for the joint inspection, she would have us forcibly removed from the premise by the po-

lice for trespassing.

This is not within her rights because we have a valid lease, and she would need a courtordered eviction.

With the summer coming soon and students signing leases for next semester, it’s important to know what they could potentially be getting into.

Through this process I’ve learned a lot about our rights as renters and student. And they are few.

Students create comedic web series about college

BY MADISON HOGAN maehogan@indiana.edu @madisonehogan

Two IU students from the West Tower Comedy group created a web series based on college life that recently premiered on YouTube.

Sophomore Amy Corson and freshman Maggie Scudder combined their talents to create the web series.

“It’s like a really short TV show, basically,” Corson said.

Scudder, who in the past two years began to think of comedy as a career, said she and Corson wanted to create content online after first working together in a comedy group.

“Why put off till tomorrow what you can do today?”

Scudder said.

As actors in the web series, Scudder and Corson said they’ve created caricatured versions of themselves who

interact with fellow comedic friend Chris Diehn.

“It’s kind of an awkward, quirky little web series about college life,” Scudder said.

Scudder said college students are the intended audience.

“We hope they can watch it and relate to all the uncomfortableness that’s involved with kind of being at this age and the social standards that we have to uphold as college students,” Scudder said.

Corson started theater in high school and carried her work in drama into college.

As a fan of Monty Python and “Saturday Night Live,” she said her enjoyment of shows transitioned into something she could see herself doing professionally.

“It’s kind of like trying a bunch of different styles of theater and finding out what I liked,” Corson said.

Scudder said she’s been

interested in comedy for a while, and upon coming to IU, she started more practical, on-the-job work. She said writing sketches and performing improv led her to the web series.

“It just seemed like the next step to start writing a show,” she said.

In working with a friend, Corson said she believed one of the important things is the capability of dividing time with them.

She said she has an honest relationship with Scudder, and it’s good to have friends who are supportive but always encouraging you to do your best.

“We keep our professional relationship very separate from our personal relationship, and that’s what’s making it really easy to do this,” Corson said.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 loss of a mentor, a lost season and the crises of confidence and injury.

It is a pursuit that has taken five years, countless vaults and many struggles. * * * One year ago, Ahbe was practicing alone. Hundreds of miles away from the roaring crowds of Geneva, Ohio, she dashed up the silent runway inside IU’s Harry Gladstein Fieldhouse — vaulting rep after rep after rep.

It was all part of the plan.

Ahbe would redshirt her senior year so she could compete in top form as a fifthyear graduate student.

The training was rigorous, augmented by the lack of competition. At times, Ahbe said she had little motivation to keep moving forward.

“I think you kind of lose sight of what your goals are when you don’t have scheduled meets in front of you,” she said. “I wasn’t jumping well. I was struggling even on the days I was jumping with my coach.”

But Ahbe persevered.

She entered the summer with a newfound energy and focused on her training.

“I’ve never seen anyone work so hard in conditioning workouts,” sophomore teammate Sydney Clute said. “She beat half the boys, and they didn’t even care because it’s Kelsie.”

Ahbe seemed poised to overcome her latest setback, one of a series of struggles that began her junior year of high school.

But during one summer trail run, her plans would take a tumble. * * * Growing up in Uniontown, Ohio, Ahbe was a year-round athlete.

She competed in soccer, gymnastics, swimming and track and field — but it wasn’t until her sophomore year at Green High School that she would first attempt a vault.

It didn’t take her long to catch on. That year, Ahbe was crowned the 2007 Ohio State Champion in the women’s pole vault.

The following year, when she was in pursuit of backto-back championships, Ahbe met her first challenge.

As a junior in high school, her appendix ruptured — confining her to bed rest for six weeks.

The 16-year-old Ahbe feared she would never compete again. Now she admits that line of thinking was overly dramatic.

“I had a soccer season coming up, and I thought it was the end of the world that I wasn’t going to be able to train with the team,” she said. “But it’s just another thing you work through, and I came back from it fine.”

She rebounded to championship form — repeating as the Ohio State Champion in 2008. It was a small lesson for Ahbe, but foreshadowing of the resilience she would demonstrate time and time again.

Her performance at the 2008 State Championship sparked the interest of several scouts, including IU Assistant Coach Jake Wiseman.

“I saw that she was a competitor,” he said. “That’s always been her greatest attribute.”

In her freshman year at IU, Ahbe flourished under teammate and mentor Vera Neuenswander — now known as Vera Schmitz.

Schmitz, at that time a senior, helped Ahbe from afar as she trained through a

mentors, and Helm said he hopes the children might be able to participate in the same activity with their parents or siblings at home.

Helm said the program is looking for men who have a passion for reading and who like children.

The program can help students see that reading aids in learning and in getting better jobs.

Any man who is interested can become a mentor, though he must pass a background check.

Duke Energy South Central Indiana District Manager Bruce Calloway said the books not only help the children to gain literacy skills, but they also contain

life lessons, such as good nutrition and financial management.

Calloway said the program gives the students a positive male role model — something some of them might not have in their lives.

Calloway also participated in the program as a mentor at North Lawrence Community Schools in Bedford, Ind., and he said the students would give him hugs and looked forward to having him in the classroom.

“It was very, very rewarding,” Calloway said. “We’re very excited about the potential of this. It’s just another way to support education.”

redshirt season — the same Ahbe would go on to do her senior year.

“Before the word ‘selfie’ meant what it does today, I used to call Kelsie ‘Selfie,’ because she was my little shadow,” Schmitz said. “We did everything the same.”

Under the guidance of Wiseman and Schmitz, Ahbe began toppling records, becoming the third woman in IU track and field’s 190-year history to jump over 13 feet.

She finished second at the Outdoor Big Ten Championships and 14th at the national meet, unexpectedly working her way onto the 2010 IAAF Junior World Championship team.

“Basically, I just followed (Schmitz), and I ended up jumping high,” Ahbe said. “I had no idea what was going on.”

training run through the woods, Ahbe encountered yet another obstacle. She twisted her ankle, causing a stress fracture in her navicular bone. Still, she refused to reevaluate.

“That Big Ten Championship was always in the back of my mind,” she said.

Forced to wear a boot and miss practice for four additional months, Ahbe threw herself into crosstraining, swimming and biking.

Come January, she had a full bill of health but only three months to sharpen her skills before the Big Ten Indoor Championships in March.

Though Ahbe said she lacked the confidence at times, she relied on the unwavering endorsement of Coach Wiseman.

“For her to win a Big Ten Championship, I don’t think she cared if she jumped 10 feet or 20 feet — whatever it took to win,” Wiseman said.

Combining that belief, a strong chemistry with sophomore teammates Sophie Gutmermuth and Sydney Clute and her Christian faith, Ahbe devised a goal that would change the face of the Big Ten Indoor Championships altogether.

She told the girls they could sweep the event — claiming spots one through three — and she set them on a path to do it. * * * Back at the 2014 Big Ten Indoor Championships, Ahbe hangs in the air, her feet stretching over the 4.20 meter bar.

Her body follows, slipping over the barrier, falling gracefully onto the mat. She glances at the scoreboard and is satisfied — she has cleared the height.

All she can do now is await the performance of her competitors.

One hour later, her satisfaction has transformed into triumph — Ahbe has officially been named the Big Ten Indoor Champion in women’s pole vault.

Finally, Ahbe stands on the podium. She sees her family in the stands and feels fulfilled — but not because she has won a Big Ten Title.

“Before the word ‘selfie’ meant what it does today, I used to call Kelsie ‘Selfie,’ because she was my little shadow. We did everything the same.”

Vera Schmitz, Ahbe’s teammate and mentor

From the moment Ahbe began her sophomore season, which was also her mentor Schmitz’s fifth and final season, she and Schmitz had a plan to capture first and second in the Big Ten Championship meet.

The focus remained on their team dynamic, aiming to go at the title together, not as individuals.

Challenging each other by clearing bar after bar, the duo’s plan played out flawlessly. Schmitz won gold and pushed the younger Ahbe to win silver at the 2011 Big Ten Outdoor Championships. The silvermedal performance was a career-best for Ahbe — her first time over 14 feet.

At the NCAA Championship meet, Schmitz and Ahbe continued to shine, finishing fourth and sixth, respectively.

They were the only two women from the same school to receive All-American honors in the pole vault.

“Pole vault is an interesting sport because it’s really easy to pit yourselves against each other,” Schmitz said. “We had a really unique camaraderie.”

After Schmitz graduated, Ahbe lost her teammate and her mentor, but also her best friend.

Struggling with that transition throughout her junior year, Ahbe was unable to return to her personal-best height, failing to qualify for the NCAA meet for her first time at IU. “For the longest time, Vera led me,” Ahbe said.

“Then all of the sudden, I was the leader, and it was hard for me to figure out at first.”

Following her junior season, Ahbe would have plenty of time to mull over her performance. In order to comply with the NCAA’s four years of eligibility rule, Ahbe would have to redshirt her senior season so she could compete as a fifthyear nursing student. She wouldn’t vault competitively for the next 18 months. * * * When Ahbe entered her fifth and final season at IU, she harbored a goal. Every day, she pictured herself as the Big Ten Champion, envisioning herself atop the podium.

But that goal would not come easily.

After a summer

“For her to win a Big Ten Championship, I don’t think she cared if she jumped 10 feet or 20 feet, whatever it took to win.”

Jake Wiseman, IU Assistant Coach

Ahbe said she felt most satisfied because IU women’s pole vault had won as a unit.

The women went on to capture first, second and fourth — a collective effort, like Schmitz and Ahbe in 2012.

“That day, it felt like we turned pole vault into a team event,” Clute said. “It felt like we did it together.”

The runway doesn’t stop there for Ahbe. She has already eclipsed her personal-best mark, defeating Schmitz’s stadium record at Cardinal Park with a vault of 4.32 meters three weeks ago.

That clearance is the second-best in the history of IU track and field. Second to none other than Vera Schmitz.

“If anyone’s going to beat my records, I would love for it to be Kelsie,” Schmitz said.

“She just kept trusting that if she stuck to the plan, then things would come back around for her. A big part of it was just never losing hope.”

Geshe Lobsang Kunga prays while facing an image of the Dalai Lama in the Chamtse Ling Temple. At 16 years old, he decided he wanted to become a monk after he first saw a monk, when one visited during Losar, the Tibetan New Year. Since there was no monastery in his village in Tibet, Kunga traveled to the Ku-bhum Monastery.

A monk’s journey Geshe Lobsang Kunga is a one of three monks who practices Buddhism at the Bloomington Tibetan Mongolian Buddhist Cultural Center. After growing up in Tibet, Kunga left his small village to become a monk.

Geshe Lobsang Kunga pours water into offering bowls. Because there were no religious rights in Tibet, his teacher at the Ku-bhum Monastery advised Kunga to travel to India to study. He decided to take his advice and set out for India in 1985.

Geshe Lobsang Kunga is a Buddhist monk who lives at the Bloomington Tibetan Mongolian Cultural Center. But he was not allowed to become a monk until he was 18 years old. Since he was 17 when he first arrived, Kunga worked at the monastery and assisted the monks until he came of age.

Geshe Lobsang Kunga walks back to the Chamtse Ling Temple. With others, he traveled to India by night and slept during the day. They traveled through the snowy Himalayan Mountains, and into Nepal.

Geshe Lobsang Kunga spins the wheels right to left, while saying the mantra “Om Mani Padme Hum,” from the Prayer Wheel Ediface. Tibetan is his first language, and English is his second language. But when he first visited the United States in 2001 he did not speak any English. After his morning routine, he often attends English as a Second Language classes at Broadview Learning Center.

2014 Tony Award nominees announced

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

POSTCARD FROM PARIS

Coming home and dealing with reverse culture shock When I first arrived in Paris, a small clothing store always caught my eye as I walked to my favorite boulangerie.

I remember the store went through a sale season in February, and then it marked its prices down this past month as it prepared to close.

Now, there are no longer any sweaters stacked on the tables or mannequins dressed to the nines standing in the windows.

The furniture is stacked, and the walls are bare. The store has officially closed.

As I walked past that empty clothing store, I realized how long I have been here, how quickly time has passed and how soon I will be returning home.

Like many students currently living abroad, this week marks the end of my stay in Paris.

While it’s expected that students experience culture shock upon arriving in their host countries, it might come as a surprise to some when students experience reverse culture shock upon returning home.

In between the moments of stress during my finals week, I am overcome with nostalgia for Paris.

There is a certain sense of achievement that comes from successfully living in a foreign country.

When I first arrived, I would run through my coffee order at least five times in my head before speaking out loud in French.

Now, it comes naturally.

I’ve stopped translating every interaction. I hear in French,

Nominations for the 2014 Tony Awards, for which Hugh Jackman will be host, were announced Tuesday.

Max’s Place stages night for comedians

BY CHRISTIAN KEMP cjkemp@indiana.edu

Comedy acts accompanied the aroma of pizza eaten by patrons Tuesday at Max’s Place, which stages Comic’s Night every other Tuesday.

Comic’s Night was originally formed by a man simply known as Tucker, and was later sustained by Kenneth Armstrong and Bob Nugent.

Nugent is also a member of

the Limestone Comedy Festival, a three-day event staged at multiple Bloomington venues.

Comic’s Night shows are laid-back and typically last about an hour and a half. Profanity may be used in good taste, but Armstrong and Nugent respect that Max’s Place is a family-oriented restaurant, and have moved the original starting time of the event from 8 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

The later time does not, however, restrict the number or quality of performers brought to play.

“We try to keep it around 10 to 12 performers,” Nugent said. “And we usually have a closer, somebody who ends the show that will do more time.”

Nugent said auditioning for Comic’s Night is not SEE COMEDY, PAGE 12

and I respond in French.

I’ve grown used to my daily visits to the boulangerie.

I’ve come to enjoy taking time out of my day to sit down and enjoy a full meal, and I’m finally able to navigate the Metro by memory.

As uncomfortable as I first felt when I arrived in Paris, I’m surprised at how natural it now feels to be here. Regardless, all good things come to an end.

Just as everyone reacts to being in a foreign country differently, each individual deals with returning home differently.

Many students experience boredom, have difficulty articulating their experience abroad to friends and family at home, have feelings of alienation, develop critical views of their home country, etc.

Consider how you will share your experience with others. There will be people

who will eagerly listen and try to understand, while others will only want the highlights.

Don’t be discouraged by people’s disinterest. Remember your friends and family back home have also undergone change, so reciprocate by listening to their experiences.

Time abroad is always exciting. It serves as a challenge and a fresh change from the ordinary.

But returning to normal life does not have to be dull.

Recall the obstacles that were present and overcome while studying abroad, as well as the risks that were taken, and transfer that attitude to daily life.

Don’t forget — adventure happens at home, too. anukumar@indiana.edu

Fashion Fluency: Tips from a columnist My friend in the recording arts program shared a chart that matched different frequencies with an obscure list of adjectives that musicians might use to describe them — things like muddy, zappy and salty. I couldn’t help but compare them to the vague terms designers gab with in the fashion world.

I’ve been a fashion columnist for three years, an enthusiast since I first visited the shiny city of New York for my 11th birthday, and an addict since my first internship at Nylon Magazine.

Learning to speak fashion fluently involved immense research, blogstalking and fake confident smiles as I jotted down unfamiliar terms in my phone

while pretending to text. I’m not sure if I fooled anyone, but I eventually didn’t have to.

Speaking fashion can sound like a foreign language, and it often is foreign.

However, it’s perfectly possible to learn if you want. It can not only help you keep up with certain crowds’ conversations, but it can eventually merit you a certain amount of authority as a trendsetter. Personally, following fashion allowed me to conceptualize my own personal style.

No matter your motives, if fashion fluency is your prerogative, I’d like to help.

Consider these basics a sliver of my senior advice and a thanks to all of you for keeping me in print for the past

Softball to play final home game of the season

BY DAN MATNEY cdmatney@indiana.edu @Dan_Matney

Today’s home doubleheader with Valparaiso means more for the Hoosiers than a normal game.

IU will aim to give the senior class — pitcher Meaghan Murphy, shortstop Breanna Saucedo, left fielder Jenna Abraham, third baseman Shelby Gogreve and catcher Jena Malmen — the final home victories of their careers.

Abraham said it is going to be an emotional day for everyone, not just the seniors.

“It’s a little bittersweet,” Abraham said. “I’ve really been blessed to even play on Andy Mohr Field.”

The five seniors will lace up their cleats for the last time at home when IU (1535-1, 5-15 conference) plays two games against Valpo (20-28, 10-6 conference).

IU will face a familiar Valparaiso team.

The first time they met, the game was postponed in the fifth inning because of poor weather conditions. IU was leading 5-0. That game

will be continued at 4 p.m. today.

Abraham said the end of the season has helped her put things into perspective.

“This is going to be the last time I play on that field,” she said. “These last games really mean a lot to me.”

The two teams also played in the Springhill Suites Invitational. In that game, sophomore infielder Kassi Farmer and junior center fielder Brianna Meyer each registered two hits in a 3-1 IU victory.

The win was the 300th of IU Coach Michelle Gardner’s career.

Gardner said having already faced Valparaiso gives the team a slight advantage.

“We have a pretty good understanding of who their big hitters are,” Gardner said. “Seeing them two times has really helped us prepare for Wednesday.”

One of the hitters IU will look to stop is sophomore outfielder Kaitlyn Ranieri.

Ranieri leads the team in batting average with .362, slugging percentage with .586, runs with 34 and hits SEE SOFTBALL, PAGE 12

Hoosiers take on RedHawks

BY ANDREW VAILLIENCOURT availlie@indiana.edu @AndrewVcourt

Today, IU Coach Tracy Smith returns to his old stomping ground in Oxford, Ohio, home of the Miami University Redhawks.

Smith was the team’s head coach for nine years, from 1997-2005, and led the Redhawks to eight straight 30-win seasons, their winningest season in program history and two NCAA regionals.

Smith played baseball all four years and graduated with a bachelor’s and master’s degree from Miami.

He also met his wife, Jaime, in Oxford.

Now, Smith looks to beat the team he called home for so many years.

“I love that place,” Smith said of his alma mater. “It’s a big part of my life, but I don’t see it as anything other than it’s another ballgame for us.”

IU (28-12, 13-2), Smith’s

home for the past nine seasons, takes on Miami (2023, 10-8 MAC).

Miami is 7-3 in its last 10 games and is coming off a series win against the Toledo Rockets.

“I don’t want to say it’s a must-win,” Smith said. “It’s a must-play-well because I think if we play well, more often times than not we are going to come out on top.”

The players recognize that Miami is an important game and are aware that it is a homecoming game for their coach, junior relief pitcher Luke Harrison said.

“It’s huge,” Harrison said. “We play Miami every year, so it’s always fun to come back and see them.

We see similar faces, so it’s always fun to compete.”

A game between IU and Miami was scheduled in Bloomington earlier this season, but was canceled due to rain. No make-up date has been scheduled as of today.

van Stadler will start on the mound for the Hoosiers. He is 1-1 with a 4.15 ERA this season.

He stepped in as the fourth starter after the pitching staff suffered some injuries, and he has impressed his teammates.

“He’s been phenomenal,” sophomore pitcher Christian Morris said of Stadler. “He attacks the strike zone, he gets people

out, and when he’s on, he is really fun to watch.”

Smith has said all year that attacking the strike zone and throwing strikes are the way to get on the mound.

He said Stadler has done a good job of that and will continue to get opportunities.

Water Polo to compete in NCAA tournament FROM IDS REPORTS

The IU water polo team is one of 10 teams to compete in the NCAA tournament, which starts this weekend.

The Hoosiers (22-5) earned a No. 8 seed and will play the No. 9 seed Wagner (25-11) on Saturday at the Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatic Center in Bloomington.

The top six teams of the tournament essentially receive byes during the first round, with IU being one of the four teams that has to play its way to the championships, which will take place in Los Angeles from May 9-11.

The winner of the IU– Wagner match goes on to play the No. 1 seed in the tournament, Stanford (22-1).

IU was awarded an auto-

matic bid to the NCAA tournament because they won their conference, the Collegiate Water Polo Association.

The Hoosiers finished the year 14-0 in conference play and defeated Princeton 1110 in the CWPA conference championship to advance to the NCAA tournament.

The cream and crimson are currently riding an 11-game winning streak heading into Saturday’s first round matchup with Wagner.

Of the 10 teams in the tournament, seven are from California.

IU and Wagner, which is located in Staten Island, N.Y., are the only schools participating in the tournament located east of the Mississippi River.

CLAYTON MOORE | IDS

Junior Meaghan Murphy bats against Wisconsin on Friday evening at Andy Mohr Field. IU lost 3-0.

» SOFTBALL

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9 with 55.

Although Gardner hasn’t decided who will be starting in the circle for IU, she said all three pitchers will be prepared.

“I guarantee that all three of them will be seeing action in tomorrow’s games,” Gardner said.

In Murphy’s most recent performance, she pitched six innings, allowing eight hits and two earned runs, and she struck out seven batters in a losing effort.

Junior Lora Olson most recently appeared in the 1-0 loss to Iowa this past Friday. She pitched seven innings, allowing just three hits and one earned run,

» MIAMI

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9 ing for Stadler to be able to keep locating his pitches and keep using secondary pitches for strikes.

The starting rotation looks to be set for now with senior Joey DeNato, Morris, senior Brian Korte and Stadler.

IU has a 2.51 ERA, good for the lowest in the Big Ten. Sophomore Will Coursen-Carr will still have a chance to earn his spot

which was off of a home run in the first at-bat of the game.

Sophomore Brooke Boetjer, who has become a third starter after seeing most of her time in relief situations early in the season, was the only IU pitcher to register a win in the Iowa series. Boetjer allowed just three hits and one run in her five-run effort.

Offensively, IU will be facing off against the Valparaiso pitching duo of sophomores Sierra Pico and Taylor Weissenhofer.

The pitching combination has a cumulative record of 17-21 with an ERA of 4.24.

Individually, Weissenhofer has accounted for 104 of the team’s 223 strikeouts.

Gardner said she wants to see one thing out of the team: run production.

“We need to come out and play our game,” she said. “We need to make runs happen. For us, that has been our nemesis at times. No matter what we do, I want to see us put runs on the board.”

Abraham said going against a pitcher such as Weissenhofer, the team is going to have to take advantage of opportunities with runners on base.

“We really need timely hitting,” she said. “We did well with it and executed well Saturday. Offensively, it’s the most important thing.

We need to score runs.”

back, but his command and mindset haven’t been where it needs to be, Smith said.

Coursen-Carr, a native of Fort Wayne, was slated to be a weekend starter at the beginning of the season, has struggled and is now working from the bullpen.

“Our pitchers have been great all year,” junior Will Nolden said. “We’re just looking for another solid performance.

Hopefully our bats will stay hot like they’ve been.”

The Hoosiers have won

16 of their past 18 games and are coming off of a series win against Illinois, who is tied with Nebraska for second place in the Big Ten at 10-5.

IU has a three-game lead on both teams. The three teams both have nine conference games remaining.

“We don’t want to have any letdowns,” Morris said.

“We just want to make sure we take care of business and play our game.”

Haute couture refers to garments tailored specifically for an individual — it’s high sewn.

Essentially, these custommade designer pieces are more physically flattering, whereas ready-to-wear pieces are produced by a factory in standard sizes.

The term usually refers to women’s clothes, whereas men’s ready-wear is often called porter. Most labels have ready-to-wear pieces as well as couture pieces.

COLLECTIONS & PIECES A piece is a single garment within a collection. A clothing line is not synonymous with collection. A line is often a release of a lot of pieces that embrace the ethos of a brand.

Collections are usually released biannually and are designed based not only on the brand’s personality, but also with trends in mind.

Typically, designers will release a winter/fall collection and a spring/summer collection. Within these will sometimes be specified ready-towear pieces or specialized minor collections like resort wear.

» COMEDY

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8 necessary, as comedians are selected by contacting Nugent.

“I generally ask that people perform at the Comedy Attic first,” he said. “For one, here it is not as easy. We are not going to have the size of the crowd they have, and if it is a smaller crowd, it is much harder to make them laugh.”

The comedian community in Bloomington is why Comic’s Night exists. For the people who exhibit their acts, the event gives them the opportunity to compete with their fel-

FASHION CAPITALS & FASHION WEEKS Fashion Week began in New York City in 1943, but major cities globally competing for the title of fashion capital have since begun having their own fashion weeks.

It’s a vague term. Typically, New York, Milan, Paris and London are seen as major Fashion Week players, but Berlin, Barcelona and Shanghai have recently been stealing guru attention.

It takes place twice a year, showcasing the fall/winter collections in the spring and summer/spring collections in the fall, ensuring you know what to expect in advance.

The shows have major production value, and it’s important to remember all pieces are not about the collection — some just play the part of a catwalk prop.

COLUMNISTS & COVERS What’s “in” and what’s “out” is highly objective. Remember this, and remember your source.

Columnists give opinions, whereas covers usually report on a designer or collection more objectively. Each piece has a story behind it, and getting to know designers is essential.

Also, make sure to follow a diversely fashioned crowd.

Don’t just follow the United States’ Vogue. Follow France, the United Kingdom, China and other editions.

Twitter is buzzing with sartorial accounts. Pick a few, and go to the source.

low comedians.

“In Indy, you don’t go to a show and see that guy again and think, ‘I want to do as well as he does,’” Nugent said.

“Here, if I see Kenneth do well, I’m like, ‘Wow, I have to write better because my friend is doing better.’”

Nugent and Armstrong agree that the caliber of comedians places like the Comedy Attic bring to Bloomington is high.

“Support Bloomington comedy,” Nugent said. “The Bloomington comedy scene right now, I would say, is as good as Indy’s, probably as

Follow a designer directly to gain a direct perspective.

Remember to remain humble and recognize individuality.

RAW & WASHED Denim is basically cotton, but there’s nothing else basic about it. From details to dyes, it’s complex. You have options.

Recognize the difference between raw or dry denim and those that have been washed after dying.

It’s a big difference, as raw affects the look and fits immensely due to its adaptation to the body that wears it.

This applies to many assumed basics. Notice fabrics, notice hemlines and learn the details most would assume are generic.

DESIGNERS & SUCCESSORS Fashion houses, or brands, are traditionally named after their founders and then run by successors. Know your history.

Know names such as Christian Dior, Coco Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Jacobs and Oscar de la Renta.

But also know that Alexander McQueen’s house has been continued after his death

by Sarah Burton. Follow her, too. Read books, watch films and browse.

Fashion fluency is a continual process that becomes natural if you embrace your curiosity. Question the inspiration behind your favorite piece, and you might just be inspired yourself. kcollisi@indiana.edu @KelCollisi

good as Cincinnati’s or Louisville’s.”

Nugent and Armstrong said laughter is essential to being a human being. To them, it is the sheer personification of happiness. So, Comic’s Night is their gift to Bloomington, they said, and they are grateful for Max’s Place giving their group a place to perform.

“Everyone is a stand-up comic and been the guy that made everyone laugh,” Armstrong said. “Everybody wants that feeling, but it takes a lot of cojones to really do it on a stage in front of people.”
