How to sign up for the vaccine

IU loses to AZ in Elite Eight

By Lizzie Kaboski lkaboski@iu.edu | @lizziebowbizzie

Indiana residents aged 16 and over were eligible to sign up for the COVID-19 vaccine on Wednesday, the Indiana State Department of Health announced last week.

Hoosiers can book appointments through ourshot. in.gov or call 2-1-1 between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. for assistance registering. Indiana residents can choose from 536 vaccine sites from around the state.

IU’s Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall vaccination site opened Monday. Appointments for the clinic can be scheduled through the state’s sign-up page.

The site will administer the Pfizer vaccine, which has a 3-week waiting period between doses. Individuals can sign up for their second vaccine appointment at Assembly Hall after receiving their first dose.

Doug Booher, executive director for university events, said more than 3,000 vaccine appointments have been scheduled as of Monday, and the next available appointment at Assembly Hall was April 25.

“We are working with the Indiana Department of Health to increase the supply to our site so we can open more appointments beginning next week,” Booher said in an email.

Dr. Lana Dbeibo, director of vaccine initiatives at IU, said the site is open for all members of the community.

Students, faculty and staff can use the site to get vaccinated, but will not be given priority over other eligible residents.

Dbeibo said IU is working with the Indiana State Department of Health to get vaccine doses reserved for students, faculty and staff, but said she is not sure when this will happen. She said she hopes it will be within the next few weeks.

She said it may be difficult to schedule appointments for Assembly Hall due to high demand, and she encourages Hoosiers to sign up for any available apSEE VACCINE, PAGE 6

Mike Woodson returns as IU's head coach, inspired by Bob Knight

By Grace Ybarra gnybarra@iu.edu | @gnybarra

Mike Woodson couldn’t afford to attend Bob Knight’s basketball camp when he was younger, so his sixth grade teacher paid for it.

While he was there, Woodson won a threeon-three competition and Knight — the IU men’s basketball head coach at the time — gave him a T-shirt and told him he’d follow him his senior year.

“That’s all I needed to hear,” Woodson said.

Woodson said he always had his eyes on IU because the basketball program was so powerful at the time.

Growing up in Indianapolis, he knew IU was where he wanted to go.

Then, Knight came knocking on his door and offered him a spot on the team. It was a no brainer — he made the decision to play basketball at IU. Now, more than four decades later, IU Athletics Director Scott Dolson came knocking with another offer for Woodson: follow in Knight’s footsteps by becoming IU’s next head coach.

Woodson said yes.

“I've always been true to Indiana basketball, so to be able to circle back and give it another shot and trying to come back as the head coach, this time I was able to get it done,” he said.

Dolson named Wood-

son as IU men’s basketball’s 30th head coach Sunday.

Woodson addressed the media for the first time as head coach Monday.

Before opening up the floor to questions, the first thing Woodson did was acknowledge Knight and not only what he means to IU basketball, but also what Knight means to himself.

“He took a chance on a kid out of Indianapolis many years ago to come here and play basketball,” Woodson said. “He taught me how to be a man on and off the floor.”

But it wasn’t just about basketball. Woodson was just trying to get an education — he promised his family he would. Knight helped him do that. Then, he was drafted into the NBA where he played for 11 years.

After he was done playing, though, Woodson said he felt he had something to give back. So he got into coaching.

“I just felt after I left the game of playing, I had something to offer some young kid as a coach on and off the floor,” Woodson said. “I like to think the years that I played here at Indiana University, Coach Knight did something right because I turned out just fine.”

Now as he enters his first full day as head coach, Woodson can begin to be that person Knight was for him for the future generations of basketball players.

“I never dreamt that this

would ever happen to me, but I’m here,” Woodson said.

He became emotional during the press conference about how happy he was to be back. He said it was not only a great day for himself and his family, but a great day for the Hoosier nation.

Woodson is taking it upon himself to bridge the gap between the younger generation that doesn't know who he is and the older generation he wants to become reinvested in IU basketball.

He said at the end of the day, this is all about two things: the fans and the players.

“I'm going to meet with each player individually today and kind of see where their heart and mind are and talk about moving this program in the right direction, and that’s getting it back on top,” Woodson said.

“That's why I'm here. I'm excited about being here.

Scott, you just have no idea, this is a wonderful day.”

Dolson said Woodson was the perfect choice, and he summarized his reasoning into three points: He was the perfect fit as a person, he’s a visionary and his vision aligned with Dolson’s.

“It was clear that Mike was the right choice,” Dolson said. “He checked those boxes, among all others.”

But Woodson has no college coaching experience.

He was the head coach of the Atlanta Hawks from 2004-10 and the New York Knicks from 2011-14. This means he has no experience recruiting high schoolers, but that doesn’t matter to Woodson. He said he thinks will still be able to relate to the people he’s recruiting.

Woodson said there’s no better place in the country to play basketball, and that’s what he’s going to tell people. He said this whole program is going to be about being family.

“I'm going to let them know that I'm in their corner, that we're family,” Woodson said. “I'm going to always have an open door policy where they can come in and talk to coach Woodson.”

Ever since that day Knight gave him that T-shirt, it’s all come full circle for Woodson. Now, he gets to be the head coach — the one to knock on players’ doors and to shape them into good men on and off the floor, all at his alma mater.

As the clock ran out on IIU women’s basketball’s season, senior guard Ali Patberg wiped away tears as she b walked off the court for pow ttentially the last time in her college career.

IU’s magical run through tthe NCAA Tournament ended in the Elite Eight on Monday night at the Alamodome iin San Antonio when it fell to University of Arizona 66-53.

“I would say we were at kind of a little bit of a loss for words,” sophomore forward Mackenzie Holmes said. “We just gotta learn from it and pick our heads up and keep moving forward.”

Both teams were held scoreless in the opening 3:05 of action before the offenses could get going. Former Hoosier and junior guard Bendu Yeaney was active defensively for the Wildcats early on, stuffing senior guard Nicole Cardaño-Hillary for a block and stripping junior forward Aleksa Gulbe for a steal in the game’s opening minutes.

IU and Arizona combined for 10 missed shots to start the game, then went back and forth trading baskets.

The Hoosiers and Wildcats hit the next seven shots from the field to open up the scoring before settling back in defensively.

Arizona’s Aari McDonald, however, had no intentions of slowing down with the ball in her hands. The senior guard registered 17 points in the first half on 7-of-11 shooting, including 3-of-3 from behind the arc.

“She’s an elite player, and she stepped up big time,” Holmes said of McDonald. “She’s a tough player to guard, for sure, and we gave it our best shot, but she hit a lot of tough shots on us tonight.”

Cardaño-Hillary did what she could guarding the 2021 Pac-12 Player of the Year and ESPN second team AllAmerican. As IU held onto its first and only lead of the game in the second quarter, McDonald stepped back and banked in a high-arching 3-pointer off the glass to retie the game at 17 a piece.

“She’s as fast as a player that we’ve faced all year,” head coach Teri Moren said of McDonald. “She’s the reason why they’re going to the Final Four.”

The Hoosiers stayed in the game down the stretch by getting to the free-throw line, where they shot 13of-17, but the difference was their inability to knock down 3-pointers. Arizona shot 9-of-21 from behind the arc while IU failed to convert one all game, finishing 0-of-9.

Despite turning her ankle in the game’s closing minutes, McDonald helped the Wildcats outscore the Hoosiers 20-9 in the fourth quarter and ended with 33 points, 11 rebounds and four assists.

Moren said IU’s tournament run was a great experience but that this bitter season-ending loss will only serve as motivation for the future.

“We made a great run, and we wanna make this a regular thing for us,” Holmes said. “Having this type of night gives us a lot to learn about ourselves and what we can do next year to be better... Now that we got a taste of it, all of us are gonna be hungry for more, so I think it’s gonna pay off in the end for us.”

Assembly Hall vaccines booked for 3 weeks

By Matt Cohen mdc1@iu.edu | @Matt_Cohen_

Hoosiers could be waiting weeks to get their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine at the Assembly Hall site when the minimum age requirement in Indiana drops to 16 on Wednesday.

Students will be able to get a vaccine at any Indiana vaccination clinic, according to Indiana governor Eric Holcomb’s March 23 announcement. In Monroe County, Assembly Hall is joining the Convention Center and IU Health Bloomington hospital as state-run vaccine clinics. Krogers, Walmarts and Meijers across Indiana are federal vaccination sites. Residents can reserve appointments at state and federal sites through the state’s sign up page.

The Assembly Hall clinic was created to be easily accessible to IU students, as well as to provide another site to the general public. But those in the 16 years old to 40 years old age group won’t be able to take advantage of the

new local site immediately.

Kathy Hewett, Monroe County Health Department public information officer, said Thursday the Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall vaccination clinic, which opens Monday, is completely booked for the first three weeks.

Hoosiers who are currently eligible — all those above age 40 — are already signing up for the first weeks of the Assembly Hall clinic, before college students are eligible. Hewett was not able to report specifically how far out other sites in Monroe County are booked, but said other sites will likely have similar filled appointments.

The earliest residents can sign up at Assembly Hall is around the week of April 19 to 23, the second-to-last week of classes for the spring semester. They may be able to sign up at other Indiana locations sooner, however Hewett said it can be difficult to schedule two doses at different locations.

The Assembly Hall clinic will administer the Pfizer

vaccine, which has a 21day waiting period between doses. If students want to get both doses at Assembly Hall, that 21-day waiting period would extend after final exam week, likely when students will begin going home.

Penny Caudill, Monroe County’s Health Administrator, said out-of-state students will be allowed to receive the vaccine at any Indiana location if they provide their Indiana address for attending school.

Megan Wade-Taxter, the Indiana State Health Department media relations coordinator, said people can wait up to 6 weeks after their first dose to receive the second if needed. However, that is not recommended. Wade-Taxter also said college students vaccinated in Indiana will be able to receive a second dose in other states by showing their vaccination card.

People can join the Monroe County surplus standby list, in case of any canceled appointments on a given day. The Assembly Hall clinic also has its own surplus

wait list just for that location.

Indiana has already been using three mass vaccination clinics, and Hewett said she knows the state is planning more. Those will create more appointment slots for students, though it’s unclear where they will be located.

The mass vaccination clinics use the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, alleviating the issue of finding a second dose in a new location or a new state as a whole. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway is the closest mass vaccination clinic to Bloomington.

IU spokesperson Chuck Carney said while IU hoped to vaccinate students by the end of the semester, the school wasn’t sure if that would actually happen. Carney said students will have the opportunity to receive the vaccine before going home for the summer.

Carney also said IU will be sending out information to students within the week addressing how to get the vaccine and how to handle potential travel at the end of the semester.

Some graduate student tuition fees waived

COURTESY PHOTO

IU graduate students and supporters march in a protest against mandatory fees Jan. 28, 2020. The IU School of Education announced it will waive unremittable fees, which usually total about $1000 per year for graduate students, starting in Fall of 2021.

The IU School of Education will waive unremittable fees, or a small percentage of tuition that many IU graduate students must pay, for their fellowship students and student academic appointments beginning the fall 2021 semester, said Sarah Lubienski, the associate dean for graduate studies at the School of Education.

The unremittable fees, which do not include mandatory fees, usually total about $1,000 per year for graduate students in the School of Education, Lubienski said. IU is the only university in the Big Ten that requires graduate students to pay unremittable fees.

“They often struggle to make ends meet during their graduate program,” she said regarding School of Education graduate students. “We wanted to help in this way since we definitely value the work that they do in our school.”

Lubienski said the School of Education is committed to keeping this change in the coming years. She said she has received positive feedback from students regarding the elimination of unremittable fees.

Chelsea Brinda, an associ-

ate instructor and graduate student in the School of Education, said it was a huge relief when she found out the unremittable fees were eliminated.

“I’m not sure why it wasn’t just a change made for everyone,” she said. “I’m definitely really happy to see that the graduate school within the School of Ed has made that change.”

Brinda said she would like to see more secure funding for graduate student departments. She said her department, curriculum and instruction is not guaranteed funding every year, which can be a barrier to a secure income.

She said she believes that her funding may be readjusted based on performance evaluation. According to the School of Education website, education graduate students can receive funding through IU assistantships and fellowships, which can provide stipends, health insurance and tuition benefits depending on the funding package.

The main next step Brinda said she would like to see is an increase in stipends for graduate students in the School of Education. She said she and some of her colleagues have to take on other job opportunities to supplement their income.

According to a Feb. 3 docu-

ment titled “Understanding Ph.D. student support at Indiana University Bloomington” from analysis done by the Office of Finance for the Bloomington campus, the university expects that students may need to rely on other sources for income.

“As with other parts of their education, students pursuing doctoral education rely in addition on other sources of funding, such as educational loans, summer employment, and partner and daily contributions,” the analysis said.

“It’s a real struggle for us,” the analysis said. “I’m really hoping that someone will be willing to listen and understand that this isn’t enough for us.”

Cole Nelson, an organizer with the Indiana Graduate Workers Coalition, said he is excited the School of Education took the step, especially following the elimination of some graduate fees in the College of Arts and Sciences last year. COAS removed an average of $1,200 in graduate fees last year, according to the document.

“Seeing the School of Ed follow suit was something that we were very excited to see, especially because now we are starting to see a trend that COAS started to expand throughout the campus,” Nel-

son said.

All IU-Bloomington schools reviewed schoolbased graduate student fees within the past two years, according to the analysis. Other schools decided to change stipends in an effort to aid graduate students, similar to the elimination of certain fees in COAS and the School of Education.

The Luddy School of Informatics increased graduate student stipends by 10% for this fiscal year. The Jacobs School of Music plans to increase graduate student stipends for the next fiscal year to offset program fees specific to the music school, according to the document.

Nelson said the coalition is working to find out more information about the music school stipend increase.

He said the music school has not confirmed the increase with their graduate students through email, so he said he is not sure if it will happen.

“Even so, we have a number of concerns about it, at least about what we’ve learned so far,” he said.

According to the analysis, the music school stipend increase would affect 40 Ph.D. students. It is unclear whether master’s students in the music school would be affected, Nelson said.

bills spike in Bloomington

By Cate Charron catcharr@iu.edu | @catecharron

Bloomington residents have noticed their energy bills significantly increasing over the past winter months.

Energy consumption has increased for many due to cold weather and more time at home during the pandemic, Duke Energy spokesperson Lew Middleton said.

“Suddenly you’re there all day, 24 hours a day, your energy usage is going to go up,” Middleton said.

In the “Bloomington, IN - What’s Going On?” Facebook group, a post saying Duke raised its rates garnered more than 380 comments. Many Bloomington residents said they saw their energy bills rise and were confused by the sudden increase, especially during the pandemic when many are experiencing financial hardships.

Middleton said rates did not increase during the past few winter months. There was a general rate increase in July 2020, he said. Duke Energy Indiana said the increase is to improve reliability and to better serve more customers, including adding new power lines and substations.

Bloomington resident Serene Coons said her last few energy bills have jumped to about $300 per month. After moving into a new apartment last July, she said her bills were around $100 and never more than $150.

She said her bills total to $600 to $700 for 2 months at a time. She said she has to pay about $300 minimum to keep her energy on.

“It puts a strain on me,” Coons said. “I have kids. I have a family. I have to pay it.”

Coons said she has lived in Bloomington for 11 years and has never seen her energy bills this expensive. In past winters, she said her bill was around $200 per month.

When calling Duke, she said she told a representative her situation and Duke told her they were going to send a worker to read her meter the following Monday and call her again with an update. She said she did not see anyone from Duke in her area and did not receive word back from them.

“I told him that they’ve taken advantage of people with this time,” Coons said.

“They claim that they come out and they look at the meter, which I don’t think they do.”

Coons said she and her family have tried to pay attention to their energy consumption and made an effort to decrease their energy-consuming habits, such as turning down the

thermostat and shutting off the lights. She said she still receives consistently high bills despite making efforts to lower them.

Smart meters have been installed for virtually all Duke customers, Middleton said. Smart meters send energy consumption data digitally and do not require workers to check the meter, he said.

Some customers are not as aware of how much energy they use as they think they are, Middleton said.

Since customers use energy before they pay for it, he said it’s difficult to track how much energy is consumed for certain reasons.

Middleton said customers can track how many kilowatt-hours of energy is used and compare that month to month. The data can also be correlated with the weather and changes in habit, he said.

“It takes some diligence on the part of the customer,” Middleton said. “But it can be done, and many times it pays off.”

Bloomington resident Rhonda Fair said her bill increased by more than $100 since winter began. In February, she said she owed $397 for two months which would normally be her total for four non-winter months of energy bills.

“I go to work. My kids go to school five days a week.

We’re not here more than normal,” Fair said. “I don’t understand my electric bill.”

As a single mother of two, Fair said it’s financially difficult for her bills to double without notice. After her first expensive bill, she said she and her children made a considerable effort to decrease her energy use, such as turning off lights and the TV, but her bill was $2 more the next month.

“My bill was more, even though I started paying attention,” Fair said.

Like Coons, Fair said Duke told her they would send a worker out to reread her meter but she never heard back.

Middleton said there are some ways people can lower their bills, such as decreasing the room temperature and wearing more clothes, checking if furnace filters are clean regularly and turning on ceiling fans in a clockwise motion to push warm air down.

If a customer needs assistance paying their bill, Middleton said it is best to call Duke and speak with a customer service specialist as soon as possible. He said the representative can offer different plans and more time to pay a bill.

If you need to contact Duke about your energy bill, call 1-800-521-2232.

IU alumnus creates site for buying sneakers

By RJ Crawford rjcrawfo@iu.edu | @rjsofamous

Some sneakers could be a better investment than gold, according to HuffPost, and an IU alumnus founded a platform to capitalize on the sneaker market and help shoppers.

KickPredict, a bidding platform for purchasing sneakers, is working to eliminate the barriers of online shopping for newly released shoes aftermarket. IU alumnus Robert Mulokwa is the founder and CEO of KickPredict, a platform to make life easier for people who collect sneakers. Mulokwa said he wanted to allow everyone the opportunity to easily trade on shoes no matter where they are or who they are.

“There should be an easier way,” Mulokwa said “Everyone should not have to become a reseller, physically moving around products, if they’re only buying them for the sole purpose of selling them.”

Users who take on paid positions come to the platform to hold trade positions against one another and debate on the fluctuation of sneaker prices, Mulokwa said. These users decide if the average price of 20 sales on StockX, a live marketplace for exclusive sneakers, will be higher or lower than the line they set estimating what the price will be.

ILLUSTRATION BY DONYÁ COLLINS

With this, KickPredict’s system matches competitors against each other, and once the bidding is over, the winner is paid out and can move on to the next deal. Mulokwa said this is also a completely hands-free process, meaning users of KickPredict do not touch the product before the buyer, making it safer for those buying shoes from traders than other bidding platforms.

When it comes to sneaker reselling, there are three

barriers, Mulokwa said, which include needing to have a plug, or someone who backdoors you products — and this may not be legal, needing a bot, or rigged mechanism, which fools sneaker markets and helps you get shoes quicker but is expensive, and having a large amount of money you’re willing to spend on shoes. Mulokwa’s platform is helping eliminate these barriers when it comes to investing in sneakers, he said.

He considers his system to be revolutionary as he drives sneaker speculation into the 21st century.

All users only need to use PayPal and can start with only $10. Users also receive 80% of returns when they make a successful trade on shoes. All participants need to get started is a little knowledge about kicks. The company is becoming attractive for college students which has grown to be KickPredict’s target audience,

Mulokwa said. KickPredict has been growing since it went live almost seven months ago. The platform has attained use in 10 countries and four continents, Mulokwa said. One of his top users has made $5,000 in profit, and Mulokwa said the platform is always hiring and recruiting those who love shoes and numbers. KickPredict is looking for student ambassadors to learn about the aftermarket and to promote the site, he

said. People can apply by emailing Mulokwa at robert@kickpredict.co or messaging through KickPredict’s Instagram.

IU senior Chayce Rowe has had a passion for collecting and purchasing shoes since 2013. An increase in the resell market has made it harder for Rowe to acquire shoes for retail prices, he said, so he resorted to frequently buying shoes off of the GOAT and StockX sites.

“Recently the resell market has shot up astronomically within the past couple of years, and it’s been harder to get shoes for retail because of the demand. I myself hate waiting for shoes if I can’t find them fast enough on my hunt, so I do buy shoes off of GOAT and StockX pretty frequently,” Rowe said. “I really only purchase shoes that I believe will hold their value.”

Rowe said he felt the KickPredict system made sense and could appreciate how the system removes the hassle of hunting for reasonably priced shoes on your own.

“If there’s a shoe that doesn’t have a high resale value, you might be better off just paying for it yourself,” Rowe said. “If you have a shoe that is offered below market value but has a high resale value, this app will provide a great way to get a shoe at a good price.”

NICK KNOWS EVERYTHING

Falcon and the Winter Soldier explores being Black in America Nick Telman

is a senior in marketing.

In contrast to Marvel’s deep dive into Wanda Maximoff ’s grief in the hit show “WandaVision,” “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” fleshes out another important, but overlooked, aspect within the Marvel Cinematic Universe — racism.

“The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” hits the ground running in episode 1, providing a look into the character Falcon known by the name Sam Wilson, and how his personal life and celebrity status affects his dayto-day interactions. Black heroes and army veterans know life as a hero does not change the color of your skin, and Sam finds this out quickly.

Marvel’s expedition into the racial tensions of the U.S. begins with Sam and his sister, Sarah, applying for a small business loan.

The loan officer seemingly recognizes Sam but thought he played basketball for the state college. This case of mistaken identity may appear small, but the comparison indicates to audiences exactly what type of interaction this scene was going to portray — a racist one.

After asking a series of irrelevant questions and taking two selfies, the loan officer reveals that the bank would not approve Sam for a loan. The main reason given by the loan officer was Sam had no income over the past

five years, despite the fact he didn’t exist due to the events of “Avengers: Infinity War,” and Sam’s military contracts as Falcon. Apparently, the event, known as “the Blip,” “constrained” the bank’s resources.

Sarah sits beside Sam with a look of absolute disgust, a look that the Black community notably employs whenever racist stuff is occurring. About 46% of Black-owned businesses loans get approved in the U.S., according to the Federal Reserve, and being an Avenger does not make Sam an exception to this statistic, even in the Marvel universe.

The opening sequence of episode 1 shows Sam donating Steve Rogers’ vibranium shield, given to him at the end of Avengers Endgame, to the Smithsonian for the Captain America exhibit. After the ceremony, a government official tells Sam that he “is doing the right thing” by donating the iconic shield. This interaction appears straightforward at first, but by the end of the episode the shield is given to a white soldier named John Walker.

This hurts Sam, as the last remaining memory of his friend Steve is now with someone Steve never met, just because he’s white.

Steve himself chose Sam to continue the legacy of Captain America, and the U.S. government denied his wishes because they couldn’t handle a Black

Captain America. The decision to replace Sam with John was purely political as John had no powers nor any experience being a superhero, just a polished military resumé.

This isn’t the first time in the show that the U.S. government screws over a Black man who has committed himself to fighting America’s enemies. Episode 2 introduces Isaiah Bradley, the first Black Captain America.

It’s even revealed that Bradley was the only person able to stand toe-to-toe with Bucky, the Winter Soldier, taking a chunk out of his metal arm in the process.

How did the U.S. government repay Isaiah for going on this suicide mission? By locking him up and experimenting on him for 30 years for avenging while Black.

Isaiah’s experiences being a lab-rat and eventual scapegoat for the U.S. government parallels America’s history of neglect and experimentation of Black people.

Some instances include the Tuskegee syphilis experiments and early forms of gynecology research relying on the brutal testing of Black women.

When Sam asks Bucky why he didn’t tell Sam or Steve about Isaiah, the former winter soldier says it best — “He’s been through enough.”

Just moments after this line was uttered, two police officers rolled up on Bucky and Sam. They immedi-

ately ask if Sam is bothering Bucky and ask for his ID. The exchange ends with Bucky having a warrant out for his arrest. Cinematographer P.J. Dillon emphasizes the regularity of this type of exchange with a shot of the neighborhood, as residents appear unfazed by this blatant abuse of police power.

Watching the first two episodes created a feeling I had not experienced when watching a Marvel project before — disgust and uneasiness. Not with the show itself, but what is depicted

during the two 49-minute episodes. The scene with the police was particularly upsetting as it could have taken a dark turn very fast, and in that moment not even Falcon would be able to fly his way out of danger.

Individually, these scenes can be taken as misunderstandings or unrelated errors on the part of the white people responsible, but together they illustrate the story of being Black in America. The government trusts Sam with high-level military clearance, but not

to be the symbolic face of a nation in which white people are projected by the U.S. Census to be a minority to all other groups combined by 2045.

Marvel has taken television to new frontiers with its Disney+ series. If the commitment “WandaVision” has to portraying mental health is any indication, “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” will continue to explore racism within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. ntelman@iu.edu

JAC’S FACTS

First Black bachelor exposes race issues in franchise Jaclyn Ferguson

is a senior in journalism.

I have always been an avid fan of the “Bachelor” franchise — whether I would like to admit it or not. Fake reality is my guilty pleasure.

Every Monday night before coming back to Bloomington, my mom, sisters and I would gather on the big brown couch in the living room, snacks in hand, ready to see what drama would unfold that week.

I loved Tayshia Adam’s season of the “Bachelorette.”

She was a Black woman, the men got along well, there was diverse casting, and for once, I was not mad about who received the final rose.

Going into season 25, I was hesitantly optimistic.

After Tayshia, the second Black bachelorette in history, finished her season up,

the first Black bachelor was underway. This season’s star, Matt James, was not on the “Bachelorette,” but sometimes change can be good right?

One of the main themes of this season was James’ dad’s absence in his life.

Since the beginning of the season, James made it a point to talk about this aspect of his life.

While growing up without the support of a father is a common situation many face, making it a key point of the season perpetuates a harmful stereotype. I am sure white bachelors in the past have also had complicated relationships with their fathers.

During a personal conversation during the muchanticipated season finale, James discussed wanting to have a family and be a father.

He quickly became emotional talking about the things he said he missed out on, saying he guarded his heart and feelings due to what happened in his family — specifically unfaithfulness. He said he doesn’t want to make the same mistakes as his father going forward.

“When I needed you, you weren’t there to have those conversations,” James said to his father.

There have been studies done in the past about the absent Black father stereotype.

Assistant Secretary of Labor Daniel Patrick Moynihan wrote a report called “The Negro Family: The Case For National Action” in 1965.

The report drew attention to the absent Black father stereotype, saying it destroyed Black families.

This stereotype makes Black

fathers seem inadequate, but it does not accurately portray Black men.

A 2018 study found the majority of non-marital births found Black fathers shared responsibilities and were better co-parents than their Hispanic and white counterparts.

Personal, familial issues being highlighted was not the only questionable part of this historic season.

During the first episode, there was conversation with James and later winner of the season, Rachael Kirkconnell.

While they were talking, she made sure to mention how she does not see color.

A white woman with a Black man, not recognizing their Blackness, is not as cute as she thought it was. It actually is not cute at all.

This idea of not seeing color is clearly harmful be-

cause it ignores the important aspect of peoples’ identities and how they interact with society.

In the middle of the season, pictures resurfaced of Kirkconnell at an Old South Antebellum party. The time period celebrates slavery and white supemacy. In the photos, Kirkconnell and her friends were wearing the southern belle dresses. After weeks of silence after the photos’ resurface, Kirkconnell went to Instagram and posted an apology.

While the pictures were disturbing, “Bachelor” host Christ Harrison’s response was even more disturbing.

In an interview with the first Black bachelorette Rachel Lindsey, Harrison was quick to defend Kirkconnell, calling those calling her out the “woke police.”

He even went on to in-

sinuate that the party was something that was acceptable in 2018, but not acceptable in 2021 — as if the summer of protests last year was the first time people should’ve been held accountable for racism and discrimination.

Despite the most recent casts being some of the most diverse in “Bachelor” history, the deeply rooted systemic issues have not been solved. Masking problems with increasing the number of Black contestants is not going to fix the culture of the show.

Having more producers of color, and potentially replacing Chris Harrison with a person of color, would be a good start to adequately address race issues on the show. jaraferg@iu.edu

‘Meet Me at the Metz’ dedicated to #stopasianhate

By C. Ovelton covelton@iu.edu

Lynnli Wang, a graduate student in organ performance, performs the carillon at noon every Saturday for “Meet Me at the Metz,” sponsored by the Jacobs School of Music Organ Department. A daughter of Taiwanese immigrants, Wang decided to dedicate the March 27 recital to the #stopasianhate movement.

Last week’s shootings in three Atlanta spas have emphasized the continued existence of violence directed toward the Asian American Pacific Islander community.

The hashtag #stopasianhate began trending on social media to call for allyship and protest injustice and hate crimes against AAPI residents.

“I feel really lucky that I have this platform,” Wang said. “I feel like it is my responsibility to use it as a means of demonstrating solidarity and providing hope in a time where a lot of us are going through and still processing this horrific and heartbreaking surge in vio-

lence against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders across the U.S.” Wang and three of her students sat at the top of the Arthur R. Metz Bicentennial Grand Carillon, located

in the IU Arboretum, and played a repertoire of music from a diverse set of composers. Around the room, the musicians saw walkers, bikers and interested audience members listening to

the bells being played above them.

Wang said she consulted other musicians and members of the Asian Culture Center to compile a list of works from underrepre-

sented composers. The list included music from Asian, African, Catalonian and Haitian cultures.

Wang’s students, Ki Sacco, Nicholas Stigall and Kyounghwa Oh performed solos and duets alongside her during the recital.

She also debuted an arrangement written by one of her students Sacco, a senior in harpsichord performance and computer science. Sacco’s arrangement, Variations on Mo Li Hua, is a traditional Chinese folk song adapted for the carillon.

“I wanted to play the arrangement on the carillon because I think it’s a pretty popular Chinese folk song,” Sacco said. “I think especially during these times, it’s important to bring the beauty and the culture to the carillon.”

Stigall said he was honored to be able to play a diverse set of music in allyship with the AAPI community.

“As a white musician, being able to play music from Asian composers is one small way that I can give back and also showing that through the art of the caril-

lon,” Stigall said.

Wang said playing music from other cultures is a great way to show allyship.

She said she encourages musicians and performers of public instruments such as the carillon to take the opportunity to play music by underrepresented composers and dedicate their performances and compositions to marginalized groups.

“I think it’s all of our responsibilities to find ways in our spheres of influence to condemn hate and create lasting social change,” Wang said. “For me, as a musician, that means I can help uplift voices and sounds that are typically underrepresented.

Wang said the carillon has a long European tradition, but the music arranged for the carillon should not be limited to European music.

“I hope that this is only the beginning to a big change that is happening,” Wang said. “I know that is not an isolated incident, I know that Jacobs has over 20% of AAPI students. I really do believe that this is a very important movement, and that it’s not too soon for change.”

IU Theatre to present reading of ‘More Perfect Places’ April 9-10

By Alexis Lindenmayer lindena@iu.edu | @lexilindenmayer

IU Theatre will livestream a virtual stage reading of “More Perfect Places” on a Zoom webinar April 9-10.

Tickets are free and can be reserved on the Department of Theatre, Drama and Contemporary Dance website.

Writer and director Seth Bockley and co-creator Tanya Palmer will also present the process of the project during IU’s Platform: An Arts and Humanities Research Laboratory’s “Style of the State Symposium” at 10:40 a.m. April 10.

“More Perfect Places’’ takes the utopian history of New Harmony, a southern Indiana town, and creates an informative 21st-century production,” Bockley said.

He said the production will do this by combining installation art, theater, documentary forms, video and audio.

“It’s trying to both inform people about what happened there, the famous utopian history of this place and also to celebrate the utopian ideas of contemporary young people,” Bockley said. “Especially the ones who live in the state and who have their own visions of what a perfect world would be.”

New Harmony is well known for being home to two different utopian communities over time, Palmer said.

The first was a religious millennial community in 1814 and the second was a community of progressive scientists, libertarians and artists in 1825.

This stage reading is one component of a larger theater project by Bockley and co-creators Palmer, Liz Nofziger and Angela Tillges.

Bockley said Palmer first approached him in 2019 about doing a project relating to New Harmony. Palmer said they got support from Platform: An Arts and Humanities Research Laboratory for their 2020 theme of Style of the State. Then in summer 2020, they visited

New Harmony and started researching and writing, Bockley said.

“I was inspired by the idea what you could do to create a kind of site specific performance in that space,” Palmer said.

Eventually, “More Perfect Places” will be a full scale production. Bockley said the current plan is to get the whole team down to New Harmony this summer to do additional research and another stage reading with the New Harmony Project, an arts organization that supports and celebrates writers and their work.

Bockley said he hopes “More Perfect Places” will premiere as a full production in New Harmony during the summer of 2022.

“The goal is to write a piece that is designed and written to be performed and presented in that place,” Bockley said.

IU graduate student Tess Bladow is the stage manager for the stage reading. She said some of her responsibilities as a stage manager involve taking notes of line changes and sending out rehearsal reminders. However, with a virtual reading she also has to manage Zoom rehearsals and the final Zoom webinar.

“In some cases I will be in charge of the transitions of actors because I have the capabilities to mute people and turn off their cameras,” Blad-

ow said. “I can share a screen if there are visuals that are needed or I can share audio if that’s needed.”

IU theater organized a fall stage reading of “More Perfect Places” in November.

Bockley said the November and April readings are different and serve to try out new material and get audience reactions.

Bockley said due to positive audience response to monologues in the November show, he will add more to test out in the April reading. Monologues were delivered by historical figures, ordinary townspeople and even inanimate objects like a tornado.

In addition to scenes that tell the play’s story, there will also be monologues that tell New Harmony’s history, Bockley said.

“I’m going to expand on that and have more of those monologues, almost like this is a piece of music.” Bockley said.

When moving forward, audience response is important for these stage readings, Palmer said.

“Ultimately, theater is for an audience, it’s not just for the artists who are making it,” Palmer said. “Not that we’re going to do everything an audience suggests, but then we know how other people are receiving the information and that can help us make it clearer and make it more the thing we want it to be.”

Bloomington Delta Music Club releases cover of ‘Sour Candy’

By Alexis Lindenmayer lindena@iu.edu | @lexilindenmayer

Junior Elliott Obermaier doesn’t think people’s love for music should die in college.

That’s why he created Bloomington Delta Music Club, an IU student music networking organization dedicated to giving local musicians who aren’t involved in the Jacobs School of Music or a full-time band an option to continue playing music.

“Music shouldn’t die in college and people who want to play casually should and can do that,” Obermair said.

Because of how much the group has grown since its creation in 2019, some members and groups under BMDC have started releasing their own music and covers. BMDC released its cover of “Sour Candy” by Melt on March 11. This is the club’s first official single and it is available on all major music platforms.

The club first covered and performed “Sour Candy” during WIUX’s Pledge Drive in October. Senior and BDMC co-founder Samuel Boland said the group then recorded the song in its setlist for the IU Dance Marathon benefiting the Riley Hospital for Children. BDMC will be releasing the rest of the setlist in the coming weeks.

The BMDC members who

covered “Sour Candy” consisted of Julia Rusyniak on vocals, Briggs Blevins and Obermaier playing guitars, Jack Wanninger playing bass, John Rusyniak on keyboard, Brian Healey on drums, Dominick Heyob playing trombone and Caleb Abshire playing trumpet. Audio engineering was done by Abshire and Blevins.

Rusyniak said she was one who suggested playing “Sour Candy.” She said the song was incredible and she brought the idea of getting some members of BMDC together to her brother, John Rusyniak.

They performed it on a WIUX broadcast and then decided to record it, she said.

BDMC was especially excited to put its own twist on the song. Rusyniak said BDMC added in more instruments and a belting vocal aspect. She also said her and her brother have been creating their own style of music since they were young.

“We’ve developed our own style that has hints of jazz, hints of pop, hints of folk and all of our favorite genres in one,” Rusyniak said. “I think the main part was John and I helped incorporate our style into the song.”

Since its creation, BDMC has grown to 166 musicians of varying genres and instruments, Boland said. In the past year, however, the organization has had to maintain

strict guidelines to ensure safety during the coronavirus pandemic, Obermaier said.

Members still meet in person, but they stay 6 feet apart and wear masks, Obermaier said. They also rehearsed outside whenever possible.

Obermaier said members had to watch a COVID-19 safety video and pass a test before they were able to attend any rehearsals or meetings.

Heyob said horn players had to place covers over the bells of their instruments to limit spread of unnecessary air. He said the covers do not affect the quality of sound.

“This entire process, despite all the precautions, ran smoothly and didn’t feel very limiting and it didn’t feel like it suffered because of COVID,” Heyob said “We were very responsible with it and we managed to put out a good product.”

BMDC members are still eager to create music in the pandemic because they know it’s more important than ever, Boland said.

“Music is a special way of connecting with people in a world where the connection with others is kind of hard to come by,” Boland said. “I think that everybody is hungry enough for music and for connection, that they don’t mind playing outside on a cold day because they want to be there playing.”

AIDAN’S ANALYSIS

The statewide mask mandate in Indiana should not be lifted Aidan Kramer (she/her) is a freshman in microbiology.

The need for masks when in public and interacting with others has been an ongoing controversy throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb announced March 23 he will end the statewide mask mandate on April 6, which means Hoosiers can now decide for themselves whether they want to wear a mask in public spaces.

Thankfully, Monroe County has already announced it will maintain their current mask mandate and social distancing policies past April 6.

“It is time to stay the course and monitor very carefully what is happening, and I really appreciate our health experts and leaders doing just that,” Bloomington Mayor John Hamilton said in a press conference March 26.

There are some exceptions to the end of the state mandate, such as the requirement for masks in all state buildings, COVID-19 vaccination and testing sites and K-12 schools for the rest of the 2020-21 school year.

The mandate’s end means mask and maximum capacity requirements are now in the hands of local officials.

Businesses and restaurants throughout Indiana can decide what requirements they want to maintain. Many retailers and local businesses have already announced they will maintain social distancing and mask requirements, as they have in the past, in response to Holcomb’s address.

The end of the statewide mask mandate leaves Indiana vulnerable to increased COVID-19 transmission.

Only about 20.4% of adults over the age of 16 are vaccinated in Indiana, and masks are an essential component to decreasing the spread of this disease.

Although Holcomb also announced everyone 16 years and older will be eligible for the vaccine beginning March 31, there’s no

guarantee a critical number of people will be able to receive at least one dose of the vaccine before the mask mandate ends. While many people who are vaccinated will be more protected against the virus, there is still a large population of Hoosiers who rely on masks and social distancing to stay safe in public.

Indiana has no reason to repeal the mask mandate so soon, especially when a large share of Hoosiers will be fully vaccinated in a few months’ time.

The Centers for Disease

Control and Prevention has repeatedly said masks are the main defense against COVID-19. Masks have been an important tool for navigating the pandemic, and ending the requirement too soon could have dire consequences on Indiana’s case numbers and hospitalizations.

The number of positive cases in Indiana remains well below what we saw November through January. The daily average, however, is slowly beginning to rise. Near the beginning of March, the daily average sat

at a low not seen since September — just less than 800.

More recently, the average is approaching 900 cases.

Without a mask mandate in place, these numbers have the potential to significantly increase.

Just because cases have slowed recently does not mean they cannot begin to increase again. By basing the decision to end the mask mandate off of the extremely high numbers occurring during the winter, we neglect the fact we still see hundreds of cases everyday.

As the mask mandate moves to advisory throughout the state, Hoosiers have to rely on one another to be diligent and continue to wear masks and follow social distancing guidelines.

The mask mandate’s conclusion doesn’t mean the pandemic has ended and everyone is safe to go in public without proper protection.

Some may view the end of Indiana’s mask mandate as the pandemic’s conclusion, but this mindset will cause people to neglect the health and safety of them-

selves and others. It could lead to even more cases and deaths in Indiana.

Hopefully, the work and legislation of local officials, the distribution of the vaccine and the choices of local businesses and retailers will be enough to see us through to the end.

To best help mitigate this decision’s potential damage, Holcomb should reverse his decision and extend the mask mandate until more Hoosiers are vaccinated. aikramer@iu.edu

SPEAKING OF SEX

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Safer Sex Express provides free sexual health products

Vote against Inspire in IUSG elections today, tomorrow

Taylor Harmon (she/her) is a sophomore in sexuality, gender and reproductive health and theater and drama.

For students, it can be embarrassing or uncomfortable to purchase sexual health items, especially in a society where sex is treated as a taboo. During a pandemic, it can be dangerous or nearly impossible for high risk individuals to go to a store and buy these products.

Safer Sex Express — in partnership with IU Student Government, the IU Student Health Center and the Residence Hall Association — serves as a solution.

Junior Maddie Whitcomb, a student assistant in the program, said Safer Sex Express is a campus initiative created last semester that encourages safer sex practices among students through free delivery of barrier method contraceptives to any IU-Bloomington student living in the continental United States. The service provides internal and external condoms, dental dams, non-latex condoms, lubricants and informational topics.

Whitcomb and senior Sophie Ideker said they began working as student assistants at Safer Sex Express after being introduced to it through their involvement with the Peer Health and Wellness Program on campus.

“I started with Safer Sex Express last semester when it was created,” Ideker said.

“This semester was really when we began to get off the ground and fill more orders.”

Whitcomb said Safer Sex Express hopes to reach all IU-Bloomington students

by making the service completely online, discreet and delivered to students’ doors.

“Our shipping includes all IU-B students throughout the U.S., so if you are doing remote learning from home or out of state, you are still able to access this program,” Whitcomb said. “All costs are funded through a grant and partnerships with the IU Student Government, the Residence Hall Association and the Student Health Center.”

I ordered my own package from Safer Sex Express to understand the process as a student on the receiving end.

I began by filling out the order form on the Student Health Center’s website, where I was even able to sign up for monthly online newsletters about sexual health.

Within the next 24 hours, I went to the Sexual Wellness floor of the Student Health Center — I opted for in-per-

son pickup — with my order in hand. It comes in a yellow packaging envelope with your name on it for pickup, or name and address for delivery, Ideker said.

The entire in-person pickup process took less than 10 minutes.

Per my order, I received one of each product: a dental dam, an internal condom, external condom and personal lubricant. I also received a card that included campus and community resources regarding sexual health, domestic violence, LGBTQ resources and mental health. The back of the card featured a QR code leading me to instructional videos on how to use each of the products in my order.

An IUSG sticker was also included to promote the organization.

One of Safer Sex Express’ goals is to provide sex education and empowerment to serve as a catalyst for posi-

tive sexual health practices, Whitcomb said.

“It’s purpose is to make our campus a place where students feel safer and more empowered with their sexual health,” she said.

Ideker said Safer Sex Express also helps combat stigma surrounding sexual health, especially regarding women, people of color and non-binary individuals.

“I want people to know that their sex life is their business and no one else’s,” Ideker said. “Everyone deserves to have resources for a healthy sex life, and feel comfortable with having sex in any way they choose.”

The IU Student Government executive elections are in full swing, with three tickets vying for first place in an election that will take place on April 1 and 2.

At the IUSG Election Commission’s Town Hall event on March 23, the Inspire campaign, which consists of Dorynn Mentor and Carling Louden, stressed their IUSG experience as a major reason that they’re the best team to lead IU during the 2021-22 school year.

But let’s talk about that IUSG experience, in particular Louden’s. From Sept.

2020 to Jan. 2021, she served as a member of IUSG Congress, representing off-campus housing and chairing the Student Life Committee.

Though the Congress did tackle some other major issues last semester, there was none more important or pressing than that of the two acts, a bill and a constitutional amendment, regarding congressional seat allocation for multicultural student organizations. The bill was a major step toward ensuring that diverse voices at IU have a clear and permanent place in the student government’s legislative body.

These acts passed overwhelmingly in Congress on Dec. 14, 2020, with the constitutional amendment receiving 41 votes in favor and 5 votes against and the bill receiving 39 votes in favor and 2 votes against. The constitutional amendment was later ratified by the IU student body on Jan. 22, with 78.8% of students voting in favor.

Louden voted against both of these measures, making her one of just two members of Congress to do so. She cited the legislation as “unfair,” given that she won a campaign for her seat in Congress as opposed to the multicultural seat representatives, who would be appointed.

Though she cited the legislation’s logistics as her reasoning for voting no, Louden’s lack of foresight and concern on this issue until the last minute is concerning to us as she seeks higher office.

IUSG needs executive leadership focused on getting things done for the students. We need a team that we can trust to continue the implementation and expansion of the multicultural seat allocation going into next year. And that’s why everyone must vote against the Inspire ticket on April 1 and 2.

get appointments at any other site I would urge them to. The sooner you get vaccinated, the safer you are.”

Students might not be able to sign up for a vaccine appointment at Assembly

Hall until the week of April 19, the second-to-last week of classes for the spring semester.

Dbeibo said Indiana residents can get their second shot at any other Indiana site carrying the Pfizer

vaccine if they will not be on campus by the time they need their second shot, but out-of-state students should plan more carefully.

“They might not have vaccine availability in their home state,” Dbeibo said.

“In that case, I would recommend the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.”

Johnson & Johnson is a single dose vaccine, compared to the two dose Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. The clinic at Indianapolis Mo-

tor Speedway will distribute this vaccine to residents.

The clinics will be held 9 a.m. to 7 p.m April 1-3, 13 to 18 and 24 to 30. Registration can be found on the state’s sign up page.

safest way possible for their mental and physical health.

son — is a very clear training structure and team-building mechanism. We’ve talked about staggering our policy — literally writing what we can tackle as exec and what we want Congress to tackle.

We'd all be on the same page every step of the way working toward what's better for IU students.

Shibani: One of the most important things we want to do is make sure everyone who is applying to Congress and who would like to be part of IUSG in our administration is getting the proper training they need to draft policy and to understand how IUSG works.

Inspire Dorynn: I'm excited to no longer be on Zoom. I know how tiring it can be to our eyes and to our mental health. So we're hoping we can ease that transition for them. We want to have more on-campus activities and advocate for more student-on-student support.

Ruhan: Working with the administration to allow some students to still opt into a hybrid model or to opt into sort of an online model. Maybe they Zoom into class or watch the recordings of the lecture because they just personally aren't comfortable with coming back into a full in-person experience yet.

Inspire Dorynn: I will continue what Ruhan and Rachel have done through open hiring.

I’m from open hiring. I’m a Haitian immigrant who came here when she was 10, who probably didn’t think she’d be in student government — let alone running for student body president. Learning from other people's culture and seeing how they view the real world will help me be a better president.

ministration will be opening it to the student body.

Ky: Another big push would be to make sure the multicultural seats are actually filled. One thing Madeline and I want to establish is a social justice office that focuses on all of these intersectional issues that happen on campus and allow leaders from impacted communities to interact with one another.

The conversation of defunding the police is really saying: Do you want to see people get harmed after a mental health crisis and the police are called? No. OK, do you want students of color at this university to feel targeted? No. Do you want to see the increase of resources around our campus like cultural centers? Yes. So you're down for the conversation of defunding IUPD. After May 25, 2020, IUPD’s mission and goal should have changed, and it should have shifted. We have to figure that out collectively.

Transition to in-person IDS: We’ve had two and a half semesters of online school and going back in-person may be difficult for some students. How can you make that transition easier?

Legacy Carrick: A huge thing students were concerned about in our Hoosier Values survey was academic affairs.

A lot of students expressed a concern that, even though we’re now three semesters into online learning, they still weren’t able to properly engage with their faculty and staff. We have got to understand as an IUSG administration and as a school that asking students to reintegrate into college life is going to be a battle of relearning how to be a college student.

We need to keep a hybrid model going. We may need to look into S/F grading.

they haven't been told about it. And I'm surprised at how many people are like, “Oh yeah, I didn't know that existed.” So I’d try to bring exposure to CAPS to the forefront.

We also need to be increasing the amount of diversity of the counselors. Some people might not feel like their counselor meets their needs or understands their culture. You could have someone who is Black or Latino who understands is one thing that we'd like to do.

Ruhan: One of the big things we want to do is lobby the provost and president’s office to increase the funding that goes to the health center. If we can't get them to do that successfully, then looking at outside sources for more funding, whether that's private philanthropy or working with the Statehouse or federal government to get grants.

» IUSG

Elevate Ky: We need to really push the university to introduce a hybrid-flexible course model. That model would give students the opportunity to design the way in which they learn at this institution.

We have a lot of students and faculty who are immunocompromised. We have to make sure we’re being the most accommodating in that sense.

A hybrid model would allow students to go to class in-person and to have a synchronous and asynchronous option. That needs to be done effectively, efficiently and in the

Diversity in IUSG and on campus IDS: What steps will you take to increase diversity in IUSG?

Legacy Carrick: I think one of the cool things IUSG tackled this year was the multicultural seat bill. I think it was a really important step. I also think we need to be reticent of the fact that it's one thing to bring people to the table, but it's another thing to make sure they feel supported. We need a very conscientious recruiting process for student groups on campus to get involved with IUSG. I don't think it's enough just to have open hiring. You need a recruiting process that encourages diversity of identity and ideas.

IDS to Elevate: You were both founding members of the Rainbow Coalition at IU and helped win the multicultural seat allocation bill.

This deals with the legislative body, but what steps would you take to increase diversity within the executive branch?

Madeline: The one thing this executive branch did well was open hiring. They opened up applications to the whole student body to apply for their directorship positions. One of the driving forces of our ad-

Mental health IDS: How can the CAPS model be improved and made more accessible to students?

Elevate Madeline: One push Ky and I are going to be implementing is a student advisory board within CAPS to recommend ways they can move forward to benefit students.

Ky: We have to get our CAPS advisors to the standard nationally by implementing seven more of them, and with that implementation, make sure we're diversifying that staff. The second part of it is to find ways to provide more expansive therapy. Students on this campus need to be trained so they can be mental health advocates within their organizations.

Madeline: Unfortunately, we've seen no involvement in this process from this current administration. Because now we don't have any student advocates in there, and we don't know what to expect from our health center moving forward.

Inspire Dorynn: A lot of people on campus actually don't know a lot about CAPS, or

Legacy Shibani: When I was talking to organizations on campus, students were not really aware of what CAPS had to offer. They didn’t even know how to get an appointment.

Expansion is always necessary. Restructuring is always necessary. In order to transform CAPS into a more effective and efficient system, there is room to hire more minority and LGBTQ+ counselors.

IUPD IDS: What is your stance on disarming or defunding IUPD? Elevate Ky: This is a very nuanced topic, as you can imagine.

Inspire Dorynn: I don’t know if it’d be possible to completely get rid of IUPD within my administration because they are a resource if people don’t feel safe on campus. We wouldn’t want to remove that option for them. I think our goal is to take some of that funding and put it into more training so that people feel safer on campus.

Legacy Carrick: Personally speaking, I believe in a campus that feels safe. I don’t feel safe around any type of weapon, regardless of who’s carrying it. From our survey, a lot of students don’t feel affected by IUPD in a positive or a negative way. Their opinions are centered on disarming IUPD, which had overwhelming support, and also defunding and putting that money toward community investment.

Always on duty: Online schooling means a nearcomplete sacrifice of privacy for this Bloomington mom ALEX DERYN | IDS

IU Health registration specialist Eliza Carey stands with her children in front of her house March 30 in Bloomington. Carey decided to homeschool her children because of the coronavirus pandemic.

By Madison Smalstig msmalsti@iu.edu | @madi_smals

One year into the pandemic, Eliza Carey, 32, woke up at 8 a.m. She was already a little bit behind.

Some days, Carey has to walk around to all three bedrooms to shake her kids awake. On a Thursday morning in early March, all five of them had jumped out of bed on their own.

Carey, relieved of one duty, still had to clean the clutter and disarray that her children had left behind in the bathroom, send them to get breakfast and stand in the middle of the chaos as Makayla, 2, screamed and all of them crowded around one sink to brush and spit.

Carey had to make sure all four students had charged iPads and were set up for another day of remote classes. Jaida, the oldest at 13, is on the autism spectrum and needs to be in a separate room to focus. CJ, 11, nestles into his mom’s closet, which was converted into a home office in the midst of quarantine last year. Matthew, 9, sits crisscross applesauce on his bed in front of his screen, which was propped up against his bedroom wall. Raelynne, 6 and full of energy, started this morning on Carey’s bed.

Carey still had to help Makayla decide which movie to watch in the morning, so she could stay occupied.

“I want Popeye!” Makayla said, referring to the movie-musical “Trolls.”

Ten seconds later she changed her mind, screaming when Carey mentioned Popeye again. Eventually, they settled on “The Croods.”

“So much screaming,” Carey said, unfazed as she moved through the rest of her morning tasks.

“So much screaming.”

Eliza Carey, Bloomington mother

* * * It’s been over a year since the Monroe County Community School Corporation closed its doors for the first time due to the COVID-19 pandemic on March 13, 2020. While students at all grade levels have had the option to return to in-person classes since the fall 2020 semester, more than 3,200 out of the about 10,000 students in the district remain in online classes.

According to a pulse survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau in October 2020, about 11% of public and private school students had no contact with their teachers during instruction. Indiana has about 87.5% of its students learning in person, according to Burbio, a company tracking school districts’ reopening plans.

MCCSC developed a system in the fall. The metrics committee, an MCCSC entity that tracks COVID-19 cases and spread, would determine whether schools would be in-person, in a hybrid schedule or completely online every few weeks based on the number of COVID-19 cases. But all MCCSC students were not required to go back to in-person learning, regardless of their school’s status.

Around the world, parents, especially moms like Carey, are barely holding on.

This summer, following the end of the school year that had everyone’s kids at home and teachers scrambling to figure out how to connect with their students through a computer screen, Carey was ready to send her kids back to school for social interaction and in-person attention from teachers.

Chris Jackson, Carey’s fiance, did not feel the same. He said he

thought the risk of contracting COVID-19 was too high, and he eventually convinced Carey to keep the kids home for the year.

And they were lucky, to a certain extent. At the time, Carey was working from home as a customer service representative for Bloom Insurance, so they knew she would be able to stay home during the day.

And in November, when Carey got a new job at IU Health as a registration specialist, which required her to leave the house Monday through Wednesday, they were able to hire a sitter, a friend who doesn’t charge much and whose kids get along with theirs.

Now, Thursday through Sunday, Carey runs the household. Her fiance helps out with the kids and their schoolwork for a couple of hours two or three days a week before heading to work.

Croods” and screaming at her mom, who was picking up clothes around the room and straightening up the bathroom corner.

Raelynne yawned and glanced around the room. She mainly glimpsed at the screen, but often, a scream from Makayla or a brother coming in to ask a question would distract her.

She snapped back to attention when her teacher asked about pairs: pairs of shoes, of socks, of pants. Raelynne unmuted herself.

“I got an answer!” she said, then paused for about 20 seconds, looking around the room and muttering “um.” “A pair of windows!”

After Raelynne answered, the cycle repeated. Change position, glance around the room, hear Makayla scream, watch Carey interact with Makayla, stare back at the screen.

ALEX DERYN | IDS

Bloomington resident Eliza Carey stands in front of her house March 30 in Bloomington.

Carey decided to homeschool her children because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Carey said being home has had some benefits, such as getting to see more of Makayla’s milestones, but she doesn’t hide the fact that this year has been hard.

For Carey, it hasn’t been easy dealing with a screaming twoyear-old while corralling four elementary school students through the chaotic morning routine only to release them to her bed and her closet instead of to the school. It hasn’t been easy for Carey to only go outside for work or groceries, which have grown more expensive because the kids eat all three meals at home every day. It hasn’t been easy losing her privacy and taking on the extra role of educator.

But she is doing this for the family. She knew she made the right decision when she saw COVID-19 cases spiked during the school year. As of November, about 100 MCCSC students had contracted COVID-19. She still thinks the setup her family chose is right for them. As long as they are safe and healthy, she said, that’s all that matters. * * * Raelynne clicked into her meeting at 9 a.m.

Every school day, Raelynne, who is in kindergarten, has one meeting every morning which serves as a preview for the rest of the lessons she will work on for the day, which will be completed through pre-assigned online tasks.

This morning, she decided to do her classes in Carey’s bedroom, a space which is treated more like a communal area than a private bedroom.

Raelynne lay on her stomach, staring at the screen as her teacher from Childs Elementary School outlined their lessons for the day and proposed questions. All the while, Makayla sat on the floor of the same bedroom, watching “The

Carey said she’s noticed her kids are not as attentive in online school as she imagines they would be in person. And they are missing more assignments than usual. She keeps track of her kids’ progress through a parents’ version of Canvas, a resource where kids can see their online work schedule and turn in their assignments. She reminds them to turn in their work when she can, but there is only so much she can do.

This was something she expected to happen because of the lack of a designated space for learning, especially for Jaida.

In online school, she still gets taught lessons individually by certain teachers and has more time to turn in assignments, but Jaida received more attention and help when she was in person. While Jaida can complete some work independently, she still occasionally gets overstimulated and then overwhelmed with schoolwork.

At school, teachers were able to identify when Jaida was about to get extremely emotional and work from there, Carey said. Now, because Carey has to run a house and keep an eye on five kids at once, it is harder to catch Jaida at the beginning of a meltdown, Carey said. But they still get through it with a lot of breathing and a lot of hugging.

Carey said she has made peace with the fact that her kids may have to play catch up when they return to in-person classes. Many other kids around the U.S. are struggling with online instruction. Her kids can always get back on track in school, she tells herself.

But if they contract COVID-19, that can’t be undone. * * * Shortly after noon, Carey revved up her lunch assembly line.

She placed chicken nuggets and French fries on a tray, then slid them into the oven. When those were done, she realized she needed more fries, so she popped more into the air fryer.

Then, she laid paper plates across the countertop, one resting on top of the Mr. Coffee.

When she was done, she called out to the kids.

Jaida, who wants to be a scientist one day, walked up to her mom to share something she had learned during her science class.

“I just realized how the moon disappeared,” Jaida said.

“How’d the moon disappear?”

Carey asked.

“Because it’s far away,” Jaida said.

Then, Jaida went to grab her plate.

Soon, an argument erupted because she passed the sauce to CJ and Matthew got mad because he felt it was his turn, even though he wasn’t ready.

“Anything can set them off,” Carey said. * * * Since the children started going to school online, Carey’s to-do list has grown exponentially, and her time alone has almost vanished.

This morning, after she had her elementary kids settled for school and set Makayla in front of some food, she slipped away for a shower — something that doesn’t always happen during the pandemic.

However, even the hot water and the solitude couldn’t stop her from being consumed by thoughts about her responsibilities. She thought about what bills she had to pay, what she would need to make for dinner and what Makayla was doing during this period of unsupervised time, one of the only times the two-year-old isn’t attached to her hip.

She stepped out after five minutes.

She was too anxious to leave her kids alone longer than that.

Carey is far from the only parent struggling to keep herself away from her kids’ learning and experiencing a disproportionate children-to-personal-life balance.

In addition to the burdens of athome schooling, more chores have built up because more people are in the house throughout the day. Carey has found herself picking up more clothes, cleaning more countertops and using paper plates to avoid more dirty dishes.

Carey has barely taken her children out of the house for fear of contracting COVID-19, especially Makayla because she is so young.

About three weeks ago, Makayla followed Carey out the door as she headed to the grocery store and stuck her nose in the air.

“Momma, what’s that smell?”

“Baby, that’s fresh air,” Carey said. * * * It was 5:30 p.m., and the kids were settled in their rooms playing video games, watching TV, listening to music and interacting with their screens, this time for fun.

It was Carey’s relaxing time. Unfortunately, that “relaxing time” included popping the Costco fajitas into the oven, reviewing animals and colors with Makayla, attending an hour-and-a-half-long meeting for Thriving Connections, a campaign which works to eliminate poverty, at 6 p.m., eating a late dinner as a result and sending Raelynne to a timeout after she and Matthew got into an argument, which she said was a normal affair.

“You may sit on your bed now, until you can calm your body,” Carey said to Raelynne, who tried to yell over her mom. “No, no, that is unacceptable, you should not be screaming like that.”

She couldn’t reward bad behavior, especially when they’re all stuck together.

This story was reported via Zoom observation over the course of one day on March 11. Two other interviews were conducted on separate days with Eliza Carey in connection with this story.

‘Happening in the dark’ Little 500 riders say they’re penalized by 2021 race format 2020 before the COVID-19 pandemic shut the race down. Now Murray is a junior and has been biking for two and a half years. This year’s Little 500 will be Murray’s first because of last year’s cancellation.

Riders like Murray are now faced with a Little 500 where family members and fans can’t attend in a year where they have already made sacrifices in order to have a race, while others are forced to find new housing until the end of May or drop out of the race.

Murray said while he understood that the university was trying to mitigate risk, he thinks there will still be parties happening in April when the race normally would have occurred.

The Riders Council is the liaison set up to link the riders and the university, and the council’s members share riders’ opinions during weekly meetings with race director Andrea Balzano.

But according to IUSF’s Little 500 website, the council was not involved in the decision making process. Several Riders Council members declined to comment.

“The decision about changing the date of the 2021 Little 500 races was a coordinated effort between IUSF, the IU Foundation, IU’s administration, the IU Medical Response Team, and the

By Evan Gerike egerike@iu.edu | @EvanGerike

When IU postponed the 2021 Little 500 for a month to May 26, the IU Student Foundation lauded the decision as a chance to continue tradition while keeping students safe.

But riders say they feel like the change in date only punishes them.

Junior Andrew Murray, a rider for Phi Delta Theta, said moving the date of the race penalizes students who have been taking responsibility by removing themselves from atmospheres where they could get COVID-19.

“The only ones that really get hurt are the riders who for the last two, maybe three years have just been working toward something that hasn’t even really occurred in their time here at IU,” Murray said.

This year’s Little 500 won’t have qualifiers, and any team that registers to race will be eligible to run come May. The IU Student Foundation is still determining how many teams will race and is working to decide how the teams will line up.

Murray became involved with Little 500 his freshman year. He said he would hear the riders practicing in the Phi Delta Theta house basement and eventually became curious enough that he asked to join.

He was slated to race in

Monroe County Health Department,” Balzano said in an email. “We will continue to work with these groups to develop protocols that will allow us to host this time honored tradition this year.”

The email also states the parameters in place are in line with IU’s commencement protocol, limiting the event to riders and essential staff and volunteers.

Junior Pablo Fierst Garcia, a member of the Riders Council and a rider for Sigma Phi Epsilon, said he was frustrated when the change was announced, but knew he had to roll with it.

“When everyone found out about the pushback of the race, it kind of felt like everyone was pretty deflated and defeated and didn’t really know what to do next,” Fierst Garcia said.

“You’re saying that in May, when properly social distanced, there can’t be family members there? That doesn’t make much sense to me,” Murray said.

The May race date also means some teams won’t be able to race. Dorms and greek housing will be closed, forcing riders living on campus to find a place to stay until the race.

Murray said riders on his team live in the Phi Delta Theta house, but other members of the team live off campus and are able to provide them somewhere to stay in May. Other riders, like Fierst Garcia, will have to work around internships. Since the race is occurring during the day on a Wednesday, Fierst Garcia said he will have to request the day off from his remote internship.

frustration stems from fans not being allowed to attend the race.

“None of us are here on scholarship,” Murray said.

“It’s our parents that often are the ones paying for school or helping out with biking expenses because it’s an expensive sport to begin with. The fact that they can’t come, I find equally frustrating.”

Murray said he knew changing the date back to April was never a logical option once IU’s higher ups made the decision. Instead, he said he wishes each rider was given four tickets for family members.

Little 500 is held in Bill Armstrong Stadium, which has a capacity of 6,500 every year.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is a 9 — A personal epiphany or insight illuminates hidden treasure. Ask for what you want.

Proceed to the next level. You’re an inspiration to others.

Fierst Garcia said the unique plan for this year’s Little 500 makes it hard to grasp how the race will look, but riders are determined to make the most of their chance to take the track.

“From what I’ve gathered from everyone it’s not like optimism, but responsibility to race, carry on the legacy of the race,” Fierst Garcia said.

“I don’t think people are too bummed out, I think they feel a responsibility to show up and do the work to continue the tradition.”

Despite claiming to run the races in a way that celebrates the riders’ effort, the event will be run on an empty campus a month after the end of the year.

“It’s hard to celebrate us when no one’s on campus,” Murray said. “Like this is happening in the dark, almost like a shady deal.”

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is a 7 — Private conversations and presentations can get especially productive. Take notes. Work a transformation. Turn a plain rock into a jewel. Work your special magic.
