Knott to run for council as GOP candidate BY KATE STARR kastarr@indiana.edu
Greg Knott is running for the Monroe County Council District Four seat as a Republican in the primary election, partly because running as a Libertarian might harm his chances of winning the general election, he said. “It would be easier to get elected as a Republican or Democrat than it would be to get elected as any thirdparty candidate,” Knott said. “I can have the most effect and most impact to promote those principles by running under the party label that would give me the best opportunity to hold office.” Marjorie Hershey, a professor in the IU Department of Political Science, said the United Greg Knott States’ winner-takeall, single-member district system makes it very difficult for minor party candidates like Knott to ever win office. “The fact that most Americans identify with one of the two major parties makes it hard for minor party candidates to raise money, get name recognition and, therefore, get votes,” Hershey said. Although Knott might do better in a location other than Bloomington that is more Libertarianfriendly, Hershey said she does not think geography makes much of a difference when it comes to actually winning a race as a third-party candidate. As of 2012, about seven out of 7,000 state legislators represented minor parties, Hershey said. “I don’t think there’s much doubt that Greg Knott has a better chance of winning office if he runs as a Republican than as a Libertarian,” Hershey said. Instead of alienating himself from the Republican Party, Knott said he sees his Libertarian views as a particular wing of the party — the “Ron Paul wing.” Generally, Knott believes liberty relies on owning one’s own body and avoiding government interference without infringing on the rights of others. In the past, Knott has run as a Libertarian candidate in the Ninth District Congressional race under the slogan “No Bull.”

HIT PARADE IU offense strikes early, Hoosiers win in blowout BY ALDEN WOODS aldwoods@indiana.edu @acw9293
It didn’t take long for IU Coach Tracy Smith to make his presence known again in Oxford, Ohio. Minutes after a pre-game ceremony honoring him for accomplishments during his nine seasons at the helm of Miami of Ohio’s baseball program, Smith’s IU squad had put the game away. “It was a nice little recognition of helping build their program,” Smith said. “I think that was the gist of it. It surprised me. I didn’t have any idea and I appreciate the gesture, but once the first pitch is made, it’s time to tee it up and
square off.” Three runs in the top of the first inning were more than enough for the Hoosiers, who excelled both at the plate and on the mound en route to a 16-1 victory against their coach’s former team. IU got all the offense it needed in the top of the first inning when, after recording five singles, the game’s first six batters scored junior second baseman Casey Rodrigue, junior catcher Kyle Schwarber and junior first baseman Sam Travis. The three-run first inning set the precedent for a slew of runs on an evening that saw season-high totals in both runs and hits for IU. SEE BASEBALL, PAGE 6

Bloomington apartment robbed by armed men FROM IDS REPORTS
Two armed men allegedly entered a north-side apartment and robbed three victims of an undisclosed amount of money. Witnesses reported two white men entered the apartment in the 200th block of East 20th Street April 15, Bloomington Police Department Sgt. Joe Crider said. The men entered through an unlocked door armed with a shotgun and a handgun. During the robbery, a debit card was stolen and used at an Ellettsville ATM. Police have collected images from the ATM and consider the man on the motorcycle in surveillance footage using the stolen debit card to be a person of interest as of Wednesday. Anyone with any information on the robbery can contact BPD Detective Sarah Carnes at 812349-3319. Dennis Barbosa

New University Plan raises questions at BFC BY KATHRINE SCHULZE schulzek@indiana.edu @KathrineSchulze
IU is moving forward with plans for the organization of the University Strategic Plan. When finished, it will outline goals for IU-Bloomington and its seven satellite campuses. “(IU President Michael McRobbie) wants a plan to be made because IU has a multicampus system,” said Michael Rushton, director of strategic planning. The plan will be compiled from the Bloomington campus plan, the Indianapolis plan and the re-
gional campus plans as well as other individual departments, said John Applegate, executive vice president for university academic affairs. “What I expect is that it’ll be an integrated whole that really positions us in a direction for the bicentennial,” Applegate said. It’s unclear as to how this new plan will affect the Campus Strategic Plan, and if the Strategic Plan will have to be changed after the University Plan is finished. “It’s a little too early to say, but I would not expect huge changes in the Bloomington campus plan,” John Applegate said. Some of IU’s faculty have con-
cerns that the Campus Strategic Plan will become obsolete. “I think that their concern, basically, is what would happen if something in the University Strategic Plan is ultimately not compatible with parts of the Bloomington, or any other campus, strategic plan,” said Herb Terry, president of the Bloomington Faculty Council. Terry said he doesn’t think that’s likely to happen. “What I really hope the University Strategic Plan emphasizes is: what is the president going to be doing that falls under his authority?” Terry said. Applegate said he thinks the
Strategic Plan will be very important input into the University Plan. “We’ve had a couple informal brainstorming sessions with various faculty groups about it,” Applegate said. There will not be a committee system to put together the University Strategic Plan. Instead, there will be a draft made for public comment in the fall, Rushton said. “I don’t think it’s the president’s intent to come up with something that’ll upset the campuses,” Terry said. “The campuses do the work.”

IU professors granted fellowship BY ANNA HYZY akhyzy@indiana.edu @annakhyzy
The American Academy of Arts and Sciences boasts members such as George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Martin Luther King Jr. and Georgia O’Keefe. This year, two IU professors are joining their ranks. Susan Gubar, feminist literary critic and professor of English and gender studies, and Ellen Ketterson, professor of biology and gender studies, have earned spots in the academy, one of the oldest honorary societies in the country. “I was very honored and very humbled, especially when I got the letter and saw some of the names that were listed of people who
are and were members,” Gubar said. The members inducted into the academy this year include people who have received Nobel Prizes, Pulitzer Prizes, Oscars, Grammys, Tonys and Emmys. Gubar said she and Ketterson are not the first from IU to be inducted. Previous inductions include former U.S. senator and School of Global and International Studies Professor Richard Lugar in 2012. “It’s good to see a new field being recognized,” Gubar said. She said female membership in the academy is relatively new and being honored as a woman and a feminist is an honor itself. She pointed out that, in addition to having a
department of gender studies, IU also has feminists in all of its departments. “I think it’s one of the great strengths of this institution, and we’ve been there since the beginning,” she said. Gubar also said a majority of the living membership are from the Ivy League, and she thinks it’s great to be inducted from a public institution. “A distinguishing characteristic of any worldclass university is its faculty, and today the American Academy of Arts and Sciences has recognized two women who represent that guiding principle,” IU President Michael McRobbie said in a press release. “For decades, Susan Gubar and Ellen Ketterson have worked

tirelessly to the benefit of their students, this University and to society, in turn making their election to the academy most deserved.” Gubar said she is not sure she’ll be able to attend the induction ceremony, as she continues to battle cancer, but she is very pleased to receive such an honor. “I think it’s a great recognition of the field,” she said. “I think it’s a great recognition of the importance of the humanities and in particular the importance of feminist criticism.”
IU conference to highlight ‘big data’ on healthcare FROM IDS REPORTS
IU will stage a conference on May 9 to look at big data’s expanding role in health care and its opportunities for life sciences companies as well as consumers, according to a press release Monday. The conference will take place 8 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. at the Indiana Government Center South in Indianapolis, according to the release. There is a registration fee of $150, but students at accredited Indiana colleges may be applicable for a discounted rate. Dr. Atul Butte is the division chief and associate professor at the Stanford University School of
Medicine. He will give the keynote presentation titled, “Translating a Trillion Points of Data Into Therapies, Diagnostics and New Insights Into Disease,” according to the release. Butte founded Personalis, which provides clinical interpretation of entire genome sequences, and Carmenta Bioscience, which focuses on researching diagnostics for pregnancy complications. He also founded NuMedii to look for new uses of drugs through open molecular data, according to the release. “Several billion dollars” and 13 years later, the first human genome was
mapped. Now, big data can be used to map a person’s genome in just days with a price tag of a few thousand dollars, according to the release. Investments in electronic medical records have resulted in fewer doctor’s visits and significant savings for both consumers and their insurance companies, according to the release. George Telthorst is the director of the Center for the Business of Life Sciences in the Kelley School of Business. “The use of business analytics is revealing a wide range of insights across a variety of industries,”
Telthorst said. The same technology that utilizes big data, which allows companies like Netflix and Amazon make suggestions to their customers. It can also be used by doctors to keep track of patient health and offer options for preventive care, according to the release. “While this crunching of big data has been helpful to pharmaceutical and medical device companies, it must be balanced by privacy requirements, thus creating other questions about how easy it will be to glean useful information,” Telthorst said in the release.

The White House Task Force to Protect Students from Sexual Assault issued Monday its first report outlining a comprehensive plan to address sexual assault on college campuses. President Barack Obama created the task force in January to “strengthen federal enforcement efforts and provide schools with additional tools to help combat sexual assault,” according to the report. Nationally, one in five college women have been sexually assaulted, with 75 to 80 percent of reported cases citing the perpetrator as someone they knew prior to the attack, according to the report. Between 2010 and 2012, the IU Office of the Executive Vice President for University Academic Affairs documented 54 cases of forcible sexual offenses on campus. The plan outlines a fourpronged approach that begins with identifying the extent of sexual assault across universities using campus climate surveys. The federal government has agreed to provide schools with toolkits to conduct the survey next year. Leslie Fasone, assistant dean for women’s and gender affairs, said the University is already working to create a survey that assesses sexual behavior among students. Fasone has been collaborating with other faculty, including Justin Garcia, assistant research scientist at the Kinsey Institute. “We’ve been, over the past year, doing our own research to find out what kinds of sexual misconduct surveys have other schools done, what resources out there exist,” Fasone said. The federal report also cites prevention and engaging men as part of the strategy to combat the issue. Public service announcements and bystander intervention programs are recommended to empower men to prevent these incidents from occurring. Faculty members and student organizations at IU have already adopted these measures to educate students in what they can do to stop
“Something else that we’re working on is that we really need to figure out how we engage them to empower them to step in and prevent incidents from occurring.” Leslie Fasone, Assistant Dean for Women’s and Gender Affairs
dangerous situations. Garcia’s expertise in the college “hook-up” culture has provided a key link to communicating with men in bystander prevention presentations. “The idea is talking about hooking up is more engaging and less threatening for men than the simple message of sexual assault,” Fasone said. “Something else that we’re working on is that we really need to figure out how we engage them to empower them to step in and prevent incidents from occurring.” Federal officials have also created a new website, notalone.gov, as a tool to support the report’s initiatives. Students are able to file a complaint online if their university is failing to adequately address sexual assault. Survivors of sexual assault can locate support services in their area using their zip code. The IU Board of Trustees has also created a Student Welfare webpage with campus resources that can address sexual assault, Fasone said. She said the webpage was created this semester. In their mission statement, the IU Board of Trustees said they wish to build a community that rejects sexual assault completely. By improving access to resources and continuing collaboration among different organizations, Fasone believes the trend of sexual assault can be reversed. “We have all these pockets of resources and people who are doing great work on this campus,” Fasone said. “It’s a matter of helping students navigate those resources and collectively working together to create a campus culture that creates change.” Carmen Heredia Rodriguez

Zoeller announces coalition BY MICHAEL AUSLEN mauslen@indiana.edu @MichaelAuslen
The Indiana attorney general has announced a new coalition of agencies and associations that will work to curb official corruption in the state. The Public Integrity Coalition will train elected officials and public employees from local governments throughout the state in best financial practices and how to prevent embezzlement of public money. “With some additional training as to proper best management practices for accounting for the public’s money and good office practices, that might prevent some of these situations before they occur,” said Bryan Corbin, public information officer for the attorney general’s office. “If somebody does do something dishonest, maybe someone else will catch it.” The announcement by Zoeller follows the announcement made last week of a broad financial plan by Mayor Mark Kruzan and Deputy Mayor John Whikehart that would place more accountability on government officials following an embezzlement scandal with a former city project manager. The coalition, announced Tuesday by Attorney General Greg Zoeller, will build upon the existing roles of his office and the State Board of Accounts, which conducts audits of local government units like cities, counties, school corporations and libraries.

up misused or embezzled funds, they’re forwarded to Zoeller’s office, which works to retrieve the money. “Literally, we serve as the collection agent for the State of Indiana,” Corbin said. “We can take any sorts of civil action that a creditor can take against a debtor to collect on debts.” The trainings around the state, which Corbin said will begin soon, will be done in partnership with existing associations of local government officials that represent cities and counties at the state level. “The important thing to understand about this coalition is the two key partners here are the two organizations that represent local officials,” he said. “Why reinvent the wheel when there are already two very effective associations that already represent public
employees?” Right now in Indiana, cases remain open on more than $11 million of misappropriated public funds. About two-thirds of those cases have been uncovered since January 2009, when Zoeller became attorney general, according to documents released by his office. “The vast majority of those who serve in public office are honest and strive to serve constituents efficiently, and only a small minority violate the public trust and enrich themselves with taxpayers’ money,” Zoeller said in the coalition’s announcement Tuesday. “Some public corruption might have been prevented with greater supervision and training for officials and employees.” In that same time, $4.5

“The Earliest Eurasians: Early Homo from Dmanisi, the Caucasus”
Dr. David Lordkipanidze Director, Georgian National Museum, Republic of Georgia As featured recently on the front pages of the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and National Geographic, David Lordkipanidze and his research team have discovered a treasure trove of protohuman fossils dating to 1.8 million years ago at Dmanisi, Republic of Georgia. These ancient fossil remains document the first expansion of Early Stone Age hominins out of Africa into Eurasia. The discovery at Dmanisi of a total of five skulls from one point in time shows a remarkable range of anatomical variation in early Homo, supporting the idea of a single evolving Homo lineage. The most recent find, Hominid Skull 5, represents the most complete skull of early Homo yet found.

million has been collected by the attorney general’s office through its role as public debt collector. “While corruption is not rampant in local governments in Indiana, it takes only a few bad apples to reinforce negative perceptions among the public of all public servants, which is unfortunate,” Zoeller said in the announcement Tuesday. In Monroe County, there are currently seven open misappropriations cases that, in total, are worth $204,678 to local governments. “We’re happy to go and file lawsuits if necessary,” Corbin said. “But wouldn’t it be preferable if people simply didn’t misappropriate in the first place? Wouldn’t it be preferable if people simply followed the rules as they should?”
About 83.9 percent of students passed the IREAD-3 test in the Monroe County Community School Corporation. Of all third graders in MCCSC, 756 students took the test, with 634 passing. Statewide, 85.58 percent of students passed, up from 85.28 percent the previous year. “These numbers show that year by year we have continued to see modest increases in our passage rate,” Indiana Superintendent of Public Instruction Glenda Ritz said in an IDOE press release. “More importantly, they show that we are promoting a culture of literacy throughout our state. Moving forward, I will continue to promote literacy and reading throughout all of Indiana.” Out of 13 MCCSC elementary schools, Childs Elementary School scored the best, with a passing rate of 96.7 percent. Fairview Elementary School scored the lowest, with a passing rate of 68.6 percent. Templeton Elementary School had 90.9 percent of students pass the IREAD-3. Templeton Literacy Coach Kari Isaacson said this number also includes students who are learning English as a second language and students who are in special education classes and the Individualized Education Program. These students, whether they pass or not, are exempt from having
to repeat third grade. The students who didn’t pass will attend summer school, but Isaacson said the passing rate for these students is outstanding. Students who don’t pass the test at the end of the seven-week summer school session will have to repeat third grade, as required by Indiana state law. Isaacson said there are many different approaches Templeton takes to help kids stay on track. There are both Title I teachers and preventionists who go into classrooms to work with small groups, and Issacson said they also pull some of these kids out of classrooms to work with them. At least twice a year, students choose a book to take home and participate in activities such as bookmark making, Isaacson said. As a literacy coach, Isaacson works with teachers on creating specific plans for each student who is not reading at grade level. She performs diagnostic tests to help pinpoint what each student needs to do to grow their reading abilities. She also works with teachers on research-based strategies for teaching reading and teaches some of the students who are reading more than one year behind their grade level. Isaacson said reading helps students think for themselves and problem solve, and it is a quality-oflife skill. “You can go anywhere in the world through a book,” she said.

EDITORIAL BOARD
DANE IN REAL LIFE
State of censorship Your résumé is quite impressive, but why is your major not listed?
EMMA WENNINGER is a sophomore majoring in English.
I’ve been a long-time follower of the cultural appropriation debate ever since Gwen Stefani decided to hire an ensemble of Asian women for her Harajuku girl persona. It’s become relevant again, especially recently when pop stars like Miley Cyrus and Avril Lavigne are teetering on a dangerous line between edgy and offensive, funny and racist. However, I think there is someone who somehow consistently gets away with her borderline offensive antics and needs to finally be called into question: Katy Perry. Her new music video for “Birthday” features the star playing a variety of birthday performers. One of them is a Jewish comedian who makes circumcision and money jokes. This isn’t the first time Perry has crossed a line. Let us not forget her Geisha costume during her “Unconditionally” performance at the American Music Awards that raised some eyebrows. In her music video for “Dark Horse” she plays what amounts to be a caricature of an ancient Egyptian queen in a neon throne room blasting failed potential suitors with a Styrofoam ankh. As the Indiana Daily Student Editorial Board discussed earlier this week, racism does not come about via intention, but result. I see her getting progressively more daring, and the end result is crossing more and more into politically and racially charged territory. Perry, like Miley Cyrus with her grills, twerking and general ridiculousness, is only using the parts of these cultures that she deems aesthetically pleasing or useful. Then she uses them wrong. The Egyptian ankh denotes religious significance. Much like the average white girl wearing a Native American headdress or an Indian bindi at Coachella, she turns a cultural symbol into a meaningless accessory. Even though many minority fans of Perry might not find her actions offensive, at the end of the day they make her look like an idiot. And it reflects poorly on many of her peers. Because Perry does not understand the cultures whose paraphernalia she so readily uses, it is easy to assume everyone like her believes they can also pick and choose which symbols they can accessorize with. In short, pop stars using cultural stereotypes to promote a song needs to stop. Learn about other cultures, try to become more globally aware and attempt to teach others about the complexities of the human experience. But don’t just build on offensive and racist images and stereotypes or base an entire concert series around a culture because you like the aesthetic. It’s disrespectful and can be insulting to the native culture. It makes you look stupid.

WE SAY: State legislatures must stop punishing their universities for what they teach. As students of a fine public university, our opinions have been challenged at one point or another in the classroom. We have been exposed to diverse views of the world, and we will graduate from this institution as more cultured than when we first arrived. According to an article by the Pew Charitable Trusts’ State and Consumer Initiatives organization, legislators in various states across the country do not see the value in learning about diversity in public universities. In fact, some states’ legislatures have decided to use its power of funding to punish public universities, university professors or organizations for teaching, doing or saying things they don’t like. The state legislators who punished certain universities for their curricula were particularly upset whenever students were assigned to
read books that were proLGBT rights or explored the religion of Islam. These state legislators are using their power over the wee bit of funding they give to public universities to ensure everything those universities teach align with their narrow ideological views of the world. Let’s get one thing straight. Schools exist to educate people about the real world. So, if you have a problem with, say, gay people existing in this world or people practicing Islam in this country and that both groups contribute a great deal to the American story and to our culture, then you probably should not have anything to do with decision making about education. Furthermore, just because topics are discussed or books are assigned and read in institutions does not mean they are endorsing the topic
of the books or the discussions. It is simply a discussion of the topic’s existence and relevance in the real world. Everyone benefits from those discussions, especially when they take place in objective, respectful, rational classroom settings such as those that are found in universities across the country. Underlying this scandal of using school funding as an ideological tool is the decades-long trend of a decrease in state funding for public universities nationwide. According to a study by Demos, a public policy organization, state higher education funding decreased on average by 26.7 percent from 2008 to 2012. All but one state in this country is spending less money per student on higher education than it did before the Great Recession. It is widely known that education creates positive
externalities for society. We have forgotten the benefits of having public schools. The benefits of someone going to school are passed to others in society who benefit from interacting with more educated fellow citizens. It makes perfect economic sense to publicly fund schools to make them more affordable. Unfortunately, it seems that our state legislators have forgotten both the importance of providing free public education and teaching students about the real world. If these legislators value the future of this nation and the education of freethinking, rational young adults, they better get their acts together and quit using the meager funds they give to public universities as ideological bludgeons. opinion@idsnews.com @IDS_Opinion

The other side of personal branding A guest speaker recently visited my journalism class and said something that surprised me. She stressed that in this modern age, it is important, even necessary, to have an online presence. If people don’t have an online presence, it actually hurts their potential to be hired at a company. The primary reason was not to show if a candidate has the ability to function normally in this technologyinundated time, but because social media accounts brand a person so a company actually knows a candidate is human. I find this concept absolutely remarkable, not because companies want people to fall into nice and easy categories branded as this or that, but because people are expected to reduce themselves into a simplified version of who they are. Let’s say, in order to get hired at a sporting goods company, a person decides
to brand himself as a snowboarder. He becomes the snowboarder. Not only is it disturbing that, with enough time and effort, people can pass themselves as whoever they want to be, but the branding reduces his level of humanness. He becomes this onesided construct: the snowboarder. Of course, he will naturally throw in more intriguing details about himself such as, “I have toured the world looking for the best gyro” or “I’m a huge fan of Breaking Bad” so he stands out among the masses of other faceless applicants. However, he becomes known solely by these interesting, though ultimately paltry, details. That is not to say he himself believes he is a sum of his accomplishments or that his closest friends believe him to be the snowboarder, but he portrays himself to the
business world through this superficial persona. Businesses begin looking for the most interesting people who might indeed be the most accomplished and proficient for the job, because the interesting people stand out. This is extraordinary stress placed on having interesting facets of someone’s character. Someone’s potential career relies on an anecdote that makes some recruiting agent laugh for a few seconds. I believe this stress places far too much emphasis on the immediate differences between people. I did X and he did Y, this is how we are different, and you should hire me because I’ve had the ability to experience more than he has. Not defining people based on their accomplishments but on character quirks does not take into account the enormous complexity of the human life —

the joys, struggles and trials which make us human. These intriguing details ignore everything that makes us what we are. Perhaps it is just me, but if I meet people planning to build a professional relationship, I would not want them to introduce themselves by saying, “Yeah, we raise pet guinea pigs as a hobby.” Sure, it’s interesting, but that doesn’t define their character. I would rather them tell me about themselves, interesting parts and not, and be entirely genuine because getting a true scope of their character would make me want to hire them. allenjo@indiana.edu @IAmJoshAllen

Star Wars ladies get short end of saber DANE MCDONALD is a senior majoring in journalism.
It’s a pretty rare occasion that I criticize anything Star Wars related. Well, I guess that isn’t completely true. “Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace” is total trash. Hayden Christensen is a terrible actor, and George Lucas couldn’t write dialogue if it meant surviving an attack by Tusken Raiders. But I digress. On Tuesday, the core cast of the upcoming “Star Wars Episode VII” was announced. Spoiler alert, this is a huge deal. Cast members from the original trilogy — Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford — will join a slew of relatively unknown actors for a new trilogy of films in the Star Wars universe. The problem? There’s only one new female cast member. Of eight actors who will be joining the J.J. Abram’s directed and cowritten film, seven are men and one is a woman. In fact, if you look at the single black and white photo released with the cast announcement, newcomer Daisy Ridley and Princess Leia herself, Carrie Fisher, are seated next to each other in conversation. This conversation better translate into the script, because otherwise this new Star Wars film has no chance in hell of passing the Bechdel test. As a boy who grew up watching both the original trilogy and its prequels, I get that Star Wars could be seen as a guy thing. I played with my Luke Skywalker action figure and my Millennium Falcon model ship. My stepfather and I beat each other up with glowing green and red lightsabers. My mom claims to have some basic Star Wars knowledge, but she still doesn’t know her Death Stars from her USS Enterprises. But it’s 2014. Seven dudes and one lady added to a cast already lacking for female characters is more than a little embarrassing. Especially when you consider that having strong female leads in action films isn’t exactly a box office risk. Think about Sigourney Weaver’s portrayal of Ripley in the Alien films, the first of which was released only two years after the first Star Wars film. Or think about the Jennifer Lawrence-led “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,” also known as the highest grossing film of 2013. Even “Frozen” has proven people will turn out in droves to see films in which females are front and center, often without the need of a romantic plot to make their stories interesting. I can’t wait until Dec. 18, 2015. I will be the first in line to see exactly what the fantastic J.J. Abrams brings to the table to expand the Star Wars universe. I just wish it wasn’t going to be such a sausage fest. wdmcdona@indiana.edu @thedevilwearsdm

Learning from Sterling debacle

Members of IU’s softball team gather at the pitcher’s mound during their doubleheader against Valparaiso on Wednesday at Andy Mohr Field. Indiana won 8-0.
Softball sweeps Valparaiso BY DAN MATNEY cdmatney@indiana.edu
Redshirt senior infielder Breanna Saucedo went through her pregame rituals as she had for the previous five years. She touched home plate, greeted her teammates and ran to her position at the top of the infield for the start of the national anthem. It was nothing extraordinary, nothing special. However, it was the last time Saucedo would ever step onto Andy Mohr Field wearing her IU uniform. “It felt amazing,” Saucedo said. “It’s been five long years. It was a little emotional, but it was a great feeling to be able to play on this field.” Saucedo, four other IU seniors — pitcher Meaghan Murphy, third baseman Shelby Gogreve, left fielder Jenna Abraham and catcher Jenna Malmen — and the rest of the Hoosiers (17-35-1,
5-15 conference) concluded their home season Wednesday, sweeping Valparaiso (20-30, 10-6) in a doubleheader. IU Coach Michelle Gardner was thrilled with the way the team sent the seniors off. “It feels fantastic, I loved it,” Gardner said. “Meaghan did a great job in the first game closing it out. I loved that I was able to give her the last innings in the second game, too.” In the first game, IU concluded the final two innings of a game that was postponed from March 1. The Hoosiers, who had a five-run lead at the time of postponement, held on to defeat Valpo 5-0. IU junior pitcher Lora Olson was credited with the win after pitching the first four innings before the delay. She allowed just two hits while striking out six batters. Murphy started the last three innings, striking out seven batters without
allowing a hit. IU won the second game 8-0 behind a five-run second inning. In the top of the second frame, Olson forced freshman Taylor Lawson to ground out to third, getting IU out of a bases-loaded jam. After recording the third out, the IU bats came to life in the bottom half of the inning. IU freshman first baseman CaraMia Tsirigos started the offensive onslaught, driving a solo homerun to left field. After a brief rain delay, freshman outfielder Natalie Lalich scored a run from third after a wild pitch. Sophomore catcher Kelsey Dotson added to the Hoosiers’ lead, hitting a oneout, three-run home run to left field. On the next at bat, junior center fielder Brianna Meyer reached base on an error, sending her streak of reaching base to 22 games.
Meyer said the key to her success has been staying comfortable at the plate. “I try not to think about it too much,” Meyer said. “I’m always trying to get on, and I don’t care how I do it. I just try not to get into my head.” In the bottom of the fourth, Saucedo sent a pitch to right field, driving in another IU run. After the Crusaders were held scoreless, IU pushed another run across the plate off of an Abraham single to center field. On the next at bat, sophomore designated player Michelle Huber drove a ball to the left field wall, sending in Abraham and ending the game after five innings. Saucedo credited the team’s performance to timely hitting, especially in the second game. “We did well putting hits together tonight,” she said. “We had some big hits, which allowed us to score runs early.”
Donald Sterling may be the most-hated man in America right now. For anyone who hasn’t heard, on Saturday TMZ came out with a recording of an argument between the billionaire Los Angeles Clippers owner and his girlfriend, in which he essentially said he didn’t want her publicly associating with African-Americans and didn’t want her bringing them to games. He ridiculed her for posing with NBA legend Magic Johnson for an Instagram picture and said he only associates with black people to keep up appearances. Between the tsunami of negative media coverage, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver’s banning him from all things NBA Tuesday and every major party in sports denouncing him on a personal level, he’s basically reached Lex Luthor supervillain status in the public eye. And for good reason. His statements were shocking and deplorable, more fitting for a deleted “American History X” scene than an owner of a professional basketball team. And in another outstanding PR move, he’s now publicly refused to sell the team, despite nobody wanting anything to do with him. That includes the 15 sponsors who dropped the Clippers immediately after the incident. At first glance, it’s a pretty sad state of affairs that in 2014 we’re still dealing with wealthy and influential people who hold beliefs that are more “Archie Bunker” than “prominent American businessman.” And if the old cliché about cockroaches applies, for every one we find there are a hundred others like him we can’t see. It’s a grim state of affairs. It’s caused people like former New York Knick Larry Johnson to suggest the equally racist proposition of forming an all-black NBA. Talking heads have argued it’s causing yet another racial rift just after last summer’s George Zimmerman debacle seemed to be falling further into our rear-view mirrors.
AUSTIN NORTH is a junior majoring in journalism.
But there’s a bright side to this whole catastrophe. As disheartening as it has been to hear Sterling’s bigoted comments, it’s been just as encouraging to see all the negative reaction both in the media and in the community of players, coaches and owners from all sports condemning his actions. Twenty years ago this wouldn’t have been nearly the story it is today. The simple fact that this has been the biggest issue to emerge from the sports world in months shows a major shift in the social landscape of the sports world and, by extension, society in general. It shows that even in professional sports, one of the most sterilized and socially cautious aspects of American culture, there are major changes coming that will only serve to better society in the long run. Just look at the situation with NFL Draft prospect Michael Sam. He will be the first active NFL player to have publicly come out as a homosexual person, only a year after San Francisco 49ers safety Chris Culliver publicly stated he wouldn’t accept a gay teammate in his locker room. Culliver was torn apart by the sports community like Sterling, and apologized for his comments a day later. Now Sam’s future is bright. Multiple players have said they’d be more than happy to have him as a teammate. In short, it’s clear the sports world is finally becoming more accepting despite these few aberrations. It’s proving that acceptance and tolerance will always triumph over hate and bigotry, and as a population we’ve decided we aren’t going to tolerate this any more. There’s still work to be done, but the Sterling fiasco has helped us finally realize something: No matter the skin color, sexual orientation or religion, people are just that — people. aknorth@indiana.edu
IU alumna becomes 1st woman in ISSA Hall of Fame BY GRACE PALMIERI gpalmier@indiana.edu @grace_palmieri
It was her first night on the job, and Tracy Dodds felt worthless. “He told me the day I arrived, he said, ‘A mistake has been made,’” Dodds recalled. “‘You should’ve never been hired. There’s no room for dead weight on my staff.’” Dodds sat with Assistant Sports Editor Bill Dwyre. It was her first encounter with him since she was hired at the Milwaukee Journal. It was Dec. 31, 1973, one year after the passage of Title IX. Women were just finding their voices in the sports world. Two weeks earlier, Dodds graduated from the IU School of Journalism. Title IX was making an immediate impact, as 1973 was also the year Billie Jean King defeated Bobby Riggs in the Battle of the Sexes tennis match. Originally intended to make changes in women’s education, the legislation was providing new opportunities for women in sports. For Dodds, it meant becoming one of the first women sports writers in the country. In the seven years following her first interaction with Dwyre, he was promoted from assistant sports editor to sports editor in Milwaukee. He would then became sports editor of the Los Angeles Times. Dodds was working in Houston at the time and got a call from Dwyre. “It was about 1980 when he hired me at the Los Angeles Times,” Dodds said. “I had
won him over.” * * * This April, 41 years after Dodds began as a sports journalist, she became the first woman inducted into the Indiana Sportswriters and Sportscasters Association Hall of Fame. “It’s one thing to say, ‘I used to be a sportswriter’ or ‘I used to work for the LA Times,’” Dodds said. “But something like this really gives it credibility and validation.” Dodds’ interest in reporting developed when she was a child because her father was the retail ad manager for the Lafayette Journal and Courier. She would visit the newspaper with him every Saturday morning. “I thought that sports writing was probably the neatest profession in the world, but I was going to settle for being a newspaper reporter,” Dodds said. She grew up in Lafayette in the 1960s. There weren’t competitive sports for girls, not in the way there were for boys. While some girls were swimmers or golfers, it wasn’t girls’ sports like you see girls’ sports today, Dodds said. Dodds was the oldest of four. Her life revolved around her brother Kirk’s sports schedule. “Mealtime depended on when his practice was,” she said. “Vacations depended upon when his mid-season break was. My brother was an athlete and that was very, very important in those days.” Dodds didn’t mind that all the attention was on boys’ sports. She was just happy to be a little bit a part of it.
When she enrolled at Lafayette Jefferson High School in 1966, she began writing for the Lafayette Jeff Booster, the student newspaper. “That’s when I realized, ‘Now, here’s a way I can be a part of that excitement,’” she said. * * * Dodds walked into practice hoping to talk to Head Swimming Coach Doc Councilman. It was her first day on the swimming beat for the Indiana Daily Student, and she was feeling apprehensive. She still wasn’t sure whether a career in sports writing would be possible. Councilman was coaching a team with seven Olympians, including three-time Olympic medalist Gary Hall. The team was the five-time defending national champion. Councilman couldn’t talk to her at that time and asked Dodds to come back at 6 the next morning instead. When Councilman saw the young reporter at his pool the following morning, he knew she was serious, Dodds said. “Once he realized I truly wanted to learn this and I was interested, when you have the sports that aren’t used to getting a whole lot of attention, he took a lot of time with me, and he was so nice,” she said. In working with the IU Sports Information Department on the swimming beat, Dodds met Bob Hammel. Hammel was the sports editor at the Bloomington Herald-Telephone. “He would cover two or three events a day, get into the office and as fast as you could type, he would write two game
stories and write a column while you were still flipping through your notes deciding what to lead with.” she said. Because everyone read the IDS, Dodds said, Hammel became familiar with her work. Dodds got her big break in the spring of 1973. On the same day IU Men’s Basketball played University of California at Los Angeles in the final four of the NCAA Tournament, the IU swim team was competing for its sixth consecutive national title. Hammel sent Dodds to cover the meet in Nashville, Tenn. “It wasn’t until I met Bob Hammel that I realized this could be a reality,” Dodds said. “I could do this. I could stay in sports.” * * * As Dodds worked her way up in sports, the timing always seemed perfect because everywhere she went there were sports legends. In Houston, there was track and field Olympian Carl Lewis, and in Los Angeles, Dodds covered UCLA greats Reggie Miller and Troy Aikman. Then, in August of 1988, Wayne Gretzky was traded from Edmonton, Canada, to L.A. Dodds was put on the L.A. Kings beat and traveled all across Canada and the eastern United States with the team. By now, Dodds had an established career. She got married and had two children. Although she loved her job, balancing family life and the realities of her career became too much. Dodds’ youngest son, Jason, had Down syndrome and was diagnosed with leukemia
when he was two years old. Dodds said she experienced a moment of truth while she sat on the plane crying right before flying to a Kings game in Montreal. Jason was sick at the City of Hope hospital in L.A. and had been through a year and a half of chemotherapy. “It suddenly hit me, ‘You know what? No one made me get on this plane. I got on this plane on my own,’” Dodds said. “What’s more important? My son or a hockey game in Montreal? That’s when I said, ‘No, I can’t do this anymore.’” Dodds made the game but quit her job at the Times. She said it was one of the hardest decisions she’s ever made. “Bill Dwyre, among others, told me I’ve lost my ever-loving mind, that you do not leave the L.A. Times,” she said. “But you do what you have to do.” * * * No more traveling meant no more writing for Dodds. She took a job at the L.A. Daily News to get off the road and became an editor, a rarity for women at the time. “There was starting to be a lot of women in sports but very few as editors,” Dodds said. Dodds and her family moved to Austin, Tex., where she was the sports editor of the Austin American Statesman. She then took the job as associate sports editor for the Cleveland Plain Dealer. It was 2001, six days after 9/11, when Jason died from a stroke at age 15. “They told me he was going to outgrow his heart, and indeed he did outgrow his heart,” Dodds said. “He just got big enough and his heart
couldn’t keep up anymore.” The same year, her older son Jeremy was starting his freshman year at Ohio State. Dodds was ready for a change. When she got the opportunity to return to her writing roots at the Indianapolis Star and to become a Hoosier again, Dodds took it. “I had really always thought of myself as a writer and I really wanted to get back to it,” she said. * * * Dodds’ sports writing career ended in 2005. She returned to her hometown of Lafayette with many accomplishments to look back on. In 1989, Dodds was one of 30 women to gather in Oakland, Calif. The women formed the Association for Women in Sports Media, or AWSM, which they pronounced “awesome.” Dodds was the first vice president of the organization. There was finally a way female journalists could be spoken for in one voice, she said. At AWSM’s 25th anniversary and annual convention in Phoenix, Dodds found out she would be inducted into the Indiana Sportswriters Hall of Fame. “The thing is, I think Bob Hammel had been put in charge of letting me know this, but he didn’t have my cell phone number and he couldn’t find me,” Dodds said, laughing. Dodds was used to firsts. But now she had set a new standard in the world of women’s sports media. “It was wonderful,” she said. “I was so happy. I was so proud.”

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “I thought that was kind of key,” Smith said. “I was kind of shocked that we jumped out on them like that. It kind of put them on their heels a little and obviously they never recovered. It kind of set the tone.” IU scored in every inning but two as 12 Hoosiers recorded a hit. Reigning Big Ten Player of the Week Brad Hartong continued his form at the plate, scoring twice and driving in two runs on two hits, but the evening’s greatest production came from an unlikely source in junior outfielder Tim O’Conner. O’Conner, who entered the game batting just .171 with 9 RBI on the season, put together his best game in an IU uniform. He tallied four hits in four at-bats, driving in four runs and scoring another before being removed from the game in the seventh inning. He agreed that Wednesday’s game was his best since coming to Bloomington. “Yeah, definitely,” he said.

Sophomore Evan Bell pitches during the away game against Miami of Ohio. The Hoosiers won the game 16-1.
“I was seeing the ball well, just felt good at the plate.” Much of the Hoosiers’ outburst was made superfluous by a pitching performance that stifled the RedHawks’ offense. Sophomore left-hander Sullivan Stadler started on the mound, pitching three innings of no-hit baseball to lead a five-man group of pitchers that didn’t allow a run until the ninth inning. Stadler, who received the win to push his season record to 2-1, allowed just two baserunners: one on an error by sophomore shortstop Brian Wilhite and one via a hit batter. He was relieved by sophomore Evan Bell, freshman Thomas Belcher, freshman Kent Williams and sophomore Will Coursen-Carr. Throughout the night, the Hoosier pitching staff gave up just five hits, striking out 11 and walking just two RedHawks. “I’m very impressed,” Smith said of his pitching staff. “They pitched aggressively in the strike zone and allowed guys to make plays behind them, which I’ve

been saying all year, if you do that, you’ve got a chance to win. I like what I saw.” The win leaves only one non-conference game on the schedule for IU, which has gone 14-10 outside of the Big Ten in 2014. With his team winning 17 of its last 19 games, Smith said the Hoosiers will continue to push as the season winds down. “I think if we take care of our own business, we’ll come out on the winning side more often than losing,” he said. “We’re going to focus on Indiana and just approach it one inning, one game at a time.” He paused. “One pitch at a time.”
Support group aims to help children with allergies BY ALEXIS DAILY aledaily@indiana.edu
Nicole Van Sant saw a need that wasn’t being met in Bloomington, so she worked to fill the hole. The Bloomington Parents of Children Having Allergies support group was created in March. On Easter 2013, Nicole Van Sant, her husband and her son were enjoying festivities at their church when Van Sant noticed her son, then 3 years old, did not look or feel well because he had accidentally ingested candy with peanuts. Van Sant said she had to administer an epinephrine pen and seek medical attention in the hospital emergency room. About 15 million people in the United States, including one in 13 children, have food allergies, according to
» KNOTT
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 The Indiana Democratic Party sent out mail promoting Knott as the only true conservative in the race as a way to steal away votes from the Republican Party candidate. Political tactics aside, Knott said he thinks there’s
the Food and Allergy Research Education website. The website also said the most common food allergies are peanuts, tree nuts, milk, egg, wheat, soy, fish and shellfish. There is still no known cure for any of these allergies. Van Sant said this is the everyday reality of parents with children who have food allergies. She said her son was diagnosed with his peanut allergy at 18 months old but the incident at Easter was his first reaction since being tested. “I needed help and support from people who were going through the same thing,” Van Sant said. Van Sant said she looked for allergy support groups but the closest one was on the north side of Indianapolis.
She said she went four times, and though it was helpful, the information did not pertain to her community in Bloomington. “I said to myself, ‘I can do this,’” Van Sant said. Van Sant said two moms showed up to the first meeting of Bloomington Parents of Children Having Allergies, but seven parents attended the group’s second meeting in April. “It makes you feel better to talk to other members,” Van Sant said. “Other parents whose children don’t have allergies don’t get it. Teachers don’t get it. It feels good to have a group of friends who know what it’s like.” Robin Mann has attended all of the group meetings. Mann said her 5-year-old daughter has a peanut allergy and just recently tested positive for a walnut allergy.
“She looks like such a happy, healthy girl, so it’s challenging trying to get people to understand her level of severity,” Mann said. The group comes together the first Tuesday of every month. The next meeting is 7 p.m. Tuesday at Sherwood Oaks Christian Church. Van Sant said a local Auvi-Q representative will give a presentation on the newest version of the epinephrine pen. “Our main goals are offering education and support,” Van Sant said. Mann said her favorite part of the support group is the constant exchange of ideas. “We have some moms in the group with older kids, so it’s nice to have somebody who has been doing it for so long,” Mann said. “Alternatively, there are some moms
with kids who haven’t started school yet, so us moms with kids in preschool can help them plan.” Annie Ruddy’s son will soon be 16 years old. She said they have known about his peanut and egg allergies since he was 14 months old. Ruddy said the best advice she has for other parents of children with allergies is to be practical. “We do not eat out a lot. We bake from scratch, and when we buy food, even products that we buy frequently, we read the label each time,” Ruddy said. Brittany Dye said her son is only 23 months old and is allergic to wheat, soy, eggs, peanuts, green peas and squash. She said the hardest part is finding foods that are toddler-friendly and do not contain any of the food aller-
gies her son has. She said she has attended all of the group’s meetings and loves all the insight she has received. “I am going to be so much better equipped to handle things as my son gets older and isn’t home with me on a daily basis,” Dye said. The group said they plan to have a booth at the Bloomington Farmers’ Market on May 17, the last day of Food Allergy Awareness Week. Additionally, Van Sant said they will also participate in the Food Allergy Research & Education Walk for Food Allergy on August 23 in Indianapolis. “We are just trying to get the word out that we’re here to help,” Van Sant said. For more information about the group, email bloomingtonpocha@comcast.net.
a lot of common ground between the various parties, at least at the local level. On the federal level, disagreements between the parties would be more frequent, he said. “There’s a lot of overlap between people who think as Libertarians,” Knott said. “Not everybody who thinks as a Libertarian is solely a
member of the Libertarian Party.” One of the issues Knott said crosses party lines is the Monroe County food and beverage tax, or, as Knott calls it, the “pizza and beer tax.” “I’m the most conservative one because I’m opposing a new tax, but I’m also the most progressive person on it because I’m looking out for
the lower-income individuals that would be taken advantage of,” Knott said. The criminal justice system is another area where Knott thinks there’s potential for Republicans and Democrats to work together. While some Republicans are very pro-law-and-order, Knott said he thinks prison time should be a last resort for a lot
of offenders. “I think many people would recognize that treatment is a better option for a lot of nonviolent offenders, such as drug offenders,” Knott said. Finally, Knott, who sits on a committee at Bledsoe Riggert and Guerrettaz Incorporated that purchases health care for employees, wants to
offer cash incentives to highrisk employees that would allow them to move into the Affordable Care Act market place. “I think voters would judge me for what impact it would have on the local county employees and the local county budget, both of which would be positive,” Knott said.

It has been two summers since we last saw Spidey slinging webs on the big screen, and now he’s back to battle Electro and a slew of other villains. Though some have bemoaned the superhero franchise being rebooted so quickly after Tobey Maguire’s reign, we can’t help but be excited for another round with Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield).
It seems like every summer deserves a good Seth Rogen comedy. In 2007 we got “Knocked Up,” and last year we got the hilarious “This Is The End.” Now he’s teamed up with Rose Byrne, Zac Efron and Dave Franco for a comedy about a fraternity house moving in next door to a couple with a new baby. Laughs will surely be delivered, and hopefully we’ll get plenty of shirtless Efron.
The famed giant reptile that has destroyed cities from Tokyo to New York City is back with a reboot that could have looked cheesy as hell, but it actually looks pretty reputable with award-winning actors like Bryan Cranston and Juliette Binoche making appearances.
We know you’re thinking, “Sports movie? Meh.” But with Emmy-nominee Jon Hamm tackling his first major film role after making it big on the small screen for years, this could be a feel-good movie for the summer. Points for the terrifically talented Lake Bell being cast as Hamm’s romantic interest.
The days of the future and past collide when mutants from the original X-Men trilogy meet up with mutants from 2011’s prequel “X-Men: First Class.” For a superhero summer tent pole, numerous Oscar winners and nominees, from Jennifer Lawrence, Hugh Jackman, Michael Fassbender and Halle Berry, are making appearances in hopes of drawing in big crowds.

How to Train Your Dragon 2
Angelina Jolie is going to do what Angelina Jolie does best, which is be head villian in charge of this reimagining of the classic Disney film “Sleeping Beauty.” Only this time, we get to see things from the villain’s point of view. Throw in Elle Fanning as Princess Aurora and this already looks ions better than Disney’s live action attempt at “Alice in Wonderland” in 2010.
The YA-novel adaptation made waves earlier this year when the poster revealed the film’s tagline to be “One Sick Love Story.” Pretty grim stuff for a movie about two kids with cancer. But anyone who’s read the John Green novel knows how appropriate the tagline is. Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort, who played siblings in March’s “Divergent,” seem perfectly cast as a couple who fall in love slowly and then all at once.
The closest Dreamworks Animation Studios has come to striking Pixar gold was 2010’s delightful “How To Train Your Dragon,” so the bar is set high for this summer’s sequel. But with Hiccup and Toothless back for more dragon adventures and no Pixar release on the calendar, this is sure to be the animated hit of the season.

Keira Knightley plays Greta, a singer-songwriter whose boyfriend (Adam Levine) breaks up with her after his music career begins to soar. This is director John Carney’s first major release since the Oscar-winning “Once” in 2006. With a cast that also includes Hailee Steinfeld, Mark Ruffalo and Catherine Keener, this could be the big sleeper hit of the summer.
Andy and Lana Wachowski have found it hard to match the success of their Matrix Trilogy with bombs like “Speed Racer” and “Cloud Atlas,” but their latest effort features a crazy, space-spanning epic journey and hotties like Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis. Consider us more than on board.
Plot details are slim on the latest work from celebrated writer and director Woody Allen, but we do know Emma Stone and Colin Firth play the leads in a 1920s set comedy that takes place on the French Riviera. With Cate Blanchett hot off her Best Actress Oscar win for “Blue Jasmine,” expect this to be another critical gem in Allen’s belt.
The first real gamble from Marvel, this is the first film from the studio not to feature the likes of Iron Man, Captain America or any other Avenger for that matter. Chris Pratt and Zoe Saldana star as intergalactic space bandits, and Bradley Cooper voices a gun-toting raccoon, so you know things are going to be amazingly bonkers.

Now Jack and his trusty sidekick Chloe O’Brian are back, and the action’s moved to London for a 12 episode miniseries set to air on FOX this summer. Also back is Jack’s former flame Audrey Raines and her father James Heller, who’s now President of the United States.
Showtime’s latest original drama looks like it’s going to pick up where “Dexter” left off as far as blood and gore is concerned. Created by Academy Award-nominated writer John Logan, the horror series stars former Bond Girl Eva Green, former Bond Timothy Dalton and Josh Hartnett. With appearances from terrifying literary icons like Dorian Gray and Dr. Frankenstein, this show looks like it’s going to live up to its name.
Piper Chapman and the ladies of Litchfield Prison are back. We’ve all been waiting on the edge of our seats since we binge-watched season one, which ended with Piper (Taylor Schilling) beating the snot out of Pennsatucky (Taryn Manning) outside in the snow. But the secret to the show’s success has been how it used Piper as a Trojan Horse to really tell the stories of all the racially diverse women who make up the inhabitants of Litchfield.
After six seasons of sex, blood and Southern accents, everyone’s favorite Bon Temps residents return for one final season. Who knows who will live, die or wind up being the undead, but lots of nudity and mythical creatures are a promise given the show’s track record. The show may be past its creative prime, but we’re going to miss the soapy Southern gothic after these 10 episodes wind down. Now we’ll just have to tune in to “Game of Thrones” for our HBO nudity fix.
Based on the novel of the same name by Tom Perrotta, this HBO drama deals with the aftermath of a Rapture in which some people mysteriously disappear while others are left behind with no idea whether the occurrence was biblical. The show’s trailers have been downright creepy, and coming from Damon Lindelof, the co-creator of “Lost,” we’re sure this is going to be one twisted series.

Soak up the summer sound Warm weather albums to get jazzed about Dartiers, rejoice! The winter that wouldn’t end is finally over. And there’s nothing better to bring in the warm weather with than some good music. Here are some great albums to listen to while you’re out in your yard with a cold beer and a burger in hand. The Strokes — “Is This It” Julian Casablancas is wellknown for his air of apathy. His leather jacket, shades and long hair make him look like he doesn’t give a fuck pretty much all the time. On the Strokes’ debut, though, he’s not pessimistic. Rather, he’s carefree. It’s the sound of a young New York kid who’s having a great time. His lackadaisical lyrics combined with the high voicings of Albert Hammond Jr.’s guitar and the poppy hooks makes “Is This It” a summer essential. The Beach Boys — “Pet Sounds” This Beach Boys masterpiece is the ultimate art-pop album. With its varied instrumentation and heavily layered vocals, it might
not seem like a light, summery album at first. But Brian Wilson is a musical genius who could write great pop songs in his sleep. “Pet Sounds” has no shortage of familiar tunes you can sing along to, like “Wouldn’t It Be Nice” and “Sloop John B.” Even if it’s an overcast day, “Pet Sounds” makes it seem like the sun is out. Bruce Springsteen — “The River” “The River” is far from being the Boss’s best album. But it sure is the most fun. At nearly 84 minutes, the album is the length of a short movie, but it never lacks intensity. For most of the album, Bruce sets aside his extended storytelling tendencies in favor of shorter, poppier songs. Opener “The Ties That Bind” is a brighter, more open production rather than the maximalist compositions from Springsteen’s previous albums. “The River” is the sound of the E Street Band singing all together and having a great time. And they want you to join in.
Pavement — “Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain” Steven Malkmus and Pavement made a name for themselves in the 1990s by doing whatever they wanted. Their albums often sound like a bunch of kids messing around. But Malkmus knows how to write a damn good pop hook. “Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain” might not even be the best Pavement album.“Wowee Zowee” is more consistent. But it has to be on this list because on it you’ll find what is surely the greatest summer song ever. “Gold Soundz” is the perfect song to usher in the warm weather. There’s no line that sums up the college summer better than “so drunk in the August sun.” Fleetwood Mac — “Rumours” The album that inspired this list is the one that pulled off the Southern California rock sound of the 1970s better than any other. Jackson Browne, The Eagles and Joni Mitchell all tried, but on “Rumours,” you can just feel the wind in your hair as you’re cruising
JACOB KLOPFENSTEIN is a senior majoring in journalism. down an LA boulevard in your convertible. It all came together for Mick Fleetwood and company on this album, which seems unlikely since everything fell apart just before they started recording. Christine and John McVie had divorced and were barely speaking, and the tumultuous relationship between Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham led to constant fighting between them. But when you combine anger and passion with some of the best rock songwriters of the 1970s, you get a masterpiece. It helped that drummer Mick Fleetwood and bassist John McVie were a great rhythm section and Lindsey Buckingham was a severely underrated guitarist. Songs like “The Chain” and “I Don’t Want To Know” will never lose their intensity. And “Go Your Own Way” can fit seamlessly into any road trip mix CD. Some say nothing is perfect, but “Rumours” is an album that begs to differ.
British comedian and political satirist John Oliver has added himself to the line up of late-night show hosts. After leaving “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart,” where he hosted last summer during Stewart’s absence, Oliver has started his own work with “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.” While adding more criticism of news media and politics to the scope, Oliver seems to have simply replicated in the mold of talk shows. Advertising itself as a weekly show that covers the relevant topics of the previous week, “Last Week Tonight” premiered April 27 on HBO. The network, known for no filters and good old-fashioned political mockery, has not failed the new host in devolving in a show of criticism. Through a quick 30-minute session, Oliver pointed out the flaws of the news media’s coverage of India’s upcoming election, made a crack at the misleading advertisements of food companies and interviewed the former NSA director Keith Alexander. Though the sarcasm is enough to make any cynic happy, Oliver fails to bring anything new to the table. His style definitely resembles that of Jon Stewart’s, and while it’s disappointing to not see fresh material, hope still remains for this newbie. He appears to be more interactive with the audience but also searches for the same viewers of “The Daily Show.” Hopefully, his younger age will bring with it a closer connection to the youth of talk show audiences. Dialogue between Oliver and HBO programming president Michael Lombardo has suggested that the half-hour show may be extended to a full hour and air more often than Sunday night. The nature of this idea seems to be that HBO just wants Oliver to get his feet wet before fully launching him into the big leagues. If you’re looking for a weekly dose of sarcasm and criticism of the failures of America’s media and political system, this show is for you. But don’t expect anything special, as Oliver still needs to work out his performance’s kinks and could turn it into something else entirely. Oliver’s previous works don’t go unnoticed, like his part in NBC’s “Community,” and he honestly pulls out a good amount of jokes. But humor we’ve all seen before isn’t going to cut it, and Oliver must truly think about “reinvention” if he wants to make this work. BY MADISON HOGAN
Digital Depp gives Siri a run for her money ‘Transcendence’ Johnny Depp, Rebecca Hall, Morgan Freeman B As the directorial debut of Christopher Nolan’s regular cinematographer Wally Pfister, “Transcendence” invites all kinds of broad, zeitgeist pronouncements about the 21st-century human’s relationship to technology. Yet we know some relationships just turn out to be happily-neverafter. This still rings true even when one party in the relationship is the gorgeous Johnny Depp. He plays the role of Dr. Will Caster, a prestigious scientist and expert on artificial intelligence. After giving a speech regarding AI’s bright future, Will is shot by an antitechnology radical. Leaving his wife Evelyn (Rebecca Hall) in desperation, Will decides to conduct the experiment that would upload his consciousness into an AI computer. By integrating himself with Internet, Will evolves to an omnipresent and omnipotent force that can change the world. Apparently, the only thing people feel can change the world is Superman, not a supercomputer. Thus the rest of the film is awash in yelling and radical actions to “Shut it down.” The question remains, “Is AI Will really a nefarious existence?” No one can say yes without hesitation. The fact is, Will as a supercomputer does have the power to make the world a better place, including
curing terminal diseases and controlling pollution. The reason to shut down is nothing about morality or humanity, but the threats in which humans are immersed. Therefore, the film delivers a biting satire about people’s fear of change and fear of losing control. Based on the old touchstones of human vs. AI machine stories, it’s easy to associate “Transcendence” to the Oscar Best Picture nominee “Her.” While the latter focuses on how a human establishes a relationship with a supercomputer, “Transcendence” explores what happens after a human has been in a relationship with an AI machine. In the way of articulating feelings, Spike Jonze does a better job than Pfister as he made “Her” a scary, sobering parable about the psychological toll of loneliness. Pfister failed to elicit any compelling emotions toward the film. The moral conflict is just attempting an ineffective solution and the characterization is not plump enough to resonate. Surprisingly, the A-list cast doesn’t add much luster to the film. Hall is stingy in her expression of feeling. The way Evelyn talks to her beloved husband is less affectionate than the way I do with my Siri. Most of Depp’s scenes are set in a computer screen, but the distance and isolation he brings is more than what he should have to deliver. We are all in relationships with our digital devices in some ways, and “Transcendence” just gives a warning about what will happen if we rely too much on technology. BY WENWEN TANG

Theater department aims to diversify roles BY ALISON GRAHAM akgraham@indiana.edu @AlisonGraham218
At the end of the premiere of her newest play, “Trigger Warning,” Iris Dauterman wasn’t sure how the crowd was going to react. The play featured an allfemale cast and portrayed a narrative about ending rape and sexual violence on the Bloomington campus — something Dauterman thought few people would want to see. Dauterman wondered whether the men in the audience would be able to connect, what they would think and whether they would be bored. A man approached Dauterman a few days after the premiere and told her, “You know, I didn’t really know what to think about it. I sort of felt that I wasn’t really allowed to think anything about it, but then I went home and my girlfriend and I talked about these issues for like an hour and a half. So I think your play was successful.” Dauterman wrote the play as part of an effort to provide more opportunities to women in the theater department. Despite making up 60 percent of the department, females are only given 46 percent of the roles in the main stage season. Fewer roles for a greater number of students means increased competition for female drama students in the department. The department has very little racial diversity, with fewer than 10 African American or Latino students in each degree program. These problems are a part of nearly every campus and theater department in the country, theater department director Jonathan Michaelsen said. The problems lie not only with the play selection committee at the department but the lack of diversity in the theater world as a whole, Dauterman said. Dauterman is an example of this lack of diversity, being the only female playwright student in the MFA program. “The playwriting field right now is not a very hospitable place for female playwrights,” Dauterman said. “They just aren’t getting produced. I didn’t know that when I came into this program.” After graduating from IU, Dauterman worries about the fate of her plays. Unlike
at IU, which is committed to producing students’ plays, her success after college is not guaranteed. “I’ll have to just put my stuff out there and watch it go through the ringer and watch it not get picked up by theaters and wonder why,” she said. The reason many people give her for the problem is that works written by females or works featuring strong female leads are not as likely to sell at the box office. “I think if you tell a good story, people will come,” she said. “What you care about is the story in front of you, not the person behind it. I don’t think people care that I’m a woman when they see my work. I hope that is how it is in the real world, but I fear that it is not.” When “Trigger Warning” was showing at the department’s studio theater the first week of April, it sold out every performance, and both men and women were in the audience. Dauterman received feedback from males in the audience telling her that it was nice to be included in a conversation they wouldn’t have been part of otherwise. “Trigger Warning” tells the story of five female college students who come together to build an anti-rape device. Two years ago, Dauterman began writing the play with a new mission in mind. Her previous two plays had failed the Bechdel Test, a short test used to analyze whether a work of fiction is gender-biased. The Bechdel Test requires that the work feature two named women who talk to each other about something other than a man. “That’s not the be-all and end-all for feminism in theater, but it is a pretty low bar to set, and I wasn’t reaching that bar,” she said. “It sort of made me pause and really made me think what stories I am telling.” Dauterman made sure her play passed the Bechdel Test the third time around, but it didn’t come without hardship. Dauterman constantly worried about the reactions from the audience and whether the men in the audience would like it. For advice, she sought the help of drama professor Amy Cook. Cook passionately told her that her story wasn’t about women and women’s issues

Theatre and drama student Ian Martin poses for a portrait Wednesday. “I want the conversation to not be as black and white,” he said about diversity in the theater department.
as much as it was a story about human beings and encouraged her to go through with the production. “She really gave me the confidence I needed to push through the writing process and whenever I got scared to just say to myself, ‘I don’t fucking care if they like it. I’m going to tell my story or die trying,’” Dauterman said. “It’s hard, but it’s important, and it’s worth doing in the way you want to tell it.” “Trigger Warning” was part of that reach for comprehension while also creating a dialogue about the role women play in the theater world, Cook said. She said students and faculty are getting better at understanding the meaning behind the shows the department puts on and how they represent women. This holds true in the same way for race and other minority representations, Cook said. “We feel a pretty important mission of ours is to pay attention to diversity,” Michaelsen said. “Are we always able to do it well? Not as well as I’d like to.” Theatre and drama major Ian Martin said diversity is about creating a culturally diverse community in the department by bringing in students and faculty of different races and backgrounds. “I want it to be more representational as opposed to presentational,” Martin said. “There’s a difference between just doing ‘black’ shows and just being diverse.”
Martin began attending IU two years ago after coming from a diverse performing arts high school in Cincinnati. His high school practiced color-blind casting. Color-blind casting means the director casts characters without considering race, regardless of how the character has traditionally been performed. “I experienced that all through high school, so coming here I expected it to be a lot different,” Martin said. “And it was.” Martin said that, being an educational institution, the theater department has a unique opportunity to cast students regardless of race. But because they haven’t, Martin has begun questioning the opportunities he’s been given with the main stage productions. So far, Martin has performed three times during the main stage season, but each role has been an AfricanAmerican character. “It makes you think, ‘Is it because I’m talented? Or just the best of a small pool?’” Martin said. However, this summer he’s been offered the lead role in the Indiana Festival Theatre’s show “Twelfth Night.” Martin will portray Duke Orsino, a powerful 16th-century nobleman traditionally played by a white actor. However, Michaelsen, who is directing the production, decided to take Martin on as the lead role. “He’ll be fantastic,” Mi-
chaelsen said. “We are after giving those opportunities to our students.” That opportunity has changed Martin’s view of his own acting experience, working to increase his confidence that he is talented enough for his parts, both present and past. Although the department is making strides, Martin said there is still a long way to go. “I want the conversation to not be as black and white,” he said. “It’s not just about doing a ‘black’ show. That’s the easy way out. It’s about doing shows that foster diversity.” The theater department also hired two new AfricanAmerican faculty members that will join the staff in the fall of 2014. “In dealing with diversity, to have faculty that are diverse makes a difference to students, without a doubt,” Michaelsen said. “This is a major step for us to have this faculty. It’s an outstanding way to start things.” The Department of Theatre and Drama is not only taking strides to help create more racial diversity but is also working with gender bias and diversity in their shows as well. Michaelsen and the other theatre department directors from Big 10 schools have partnered to commission a new play every year for five years. It is required that the play be written by a female playwright and include a set number of male and female roles. Next year’s play will be
the first production from this partnership. It was written by playwright Naomi Iizuka. The play is titled “Good Kids” and features eight female roles and four male roles. The play will be included as part of the main stage season and will be made available to other college campuses across the country after next year, Michaelsen said. “It’s a tricky issue because we have to balance the needs of our students to be represented on stage and our need to present different kinds of plays to give them varied experience,” Cook said. “I think our department has really done that to a varying degree of success.” Choosing a season comes with many considerations, but it still comes down to whether the department can sell the season to their audience. “The department financially lives off the box office and has to carefully select a balance of shows they know are going to sell,” Michaelsen said. “I can’t ignore the economic sense in things.” Although students are finding other opportunities to gain experience, the department continues to work on fixing the problem. “I don’t want actors to come here and be told from the beginning that ‘There’s not a place for you on stage,’” Dauterman said. “That’s not something you want an actor to learn. Theater is where everybody goes to feel like they’re a part of something.”
PARIS, ONE BAGUETTE AT A TIME
Upgrading the souvenir For the past few weeks, I have been counting down the days until the City of Light will no longer be my home. Let’s just say I am not too excited to be returning to the United States. Why would I want to leave the city of food when I am a self-proclaimed glutton? Yet, if anything, I will be taking back the best memories of my time here. There is no doubt that France established itself in the world of food. There is no place like it in terms of gourmet culture. I am going to miss walking down a street and smelling fresh bread baking non-stop all year. It’s sad to say, but America’s food culture just isn’t the same. So, for the past month, I have mentally prepared myself. What could I do to aid my re-entry into the United States? Because while it sounds like a cheesy academic term created by study abroad programs, it does exist. I call it reverse-homesickness. I am already feeling it, and I haven’t even left Paris yet. I have always said that food has a unique ability to lend itself to memory. Much like smell, food can make anyone remember just about

anything. You will always remember the taste of your mother’s best dish. You will also always remember the taste of your mother’s worst dish. Imagine a sandwich with Cheetos loaded in between two layers of cream cheese and jelly. Yeah, that monstrosity fell under the second category. Unlike most people who take back a load of Eiffel Tower printed souvenirs, you can count on me bringing back a suitcase of my favorite foods from here. To me, the best souvenir a tourist can bring home is a memory. For me, my best memories happen to have flavor involved. It also helps that a pack of snack food will most likely be way cheaper than any “Paris” emblazoned product I might find elsewhere in the city. So, when I find myself sitting on my couch in Texas one week from now, I will be able to go into the kitchen, rip open a package and eat the cookies my host mother always brought out when I needed a homework break. audperki@indiana.edu @AudreyNLP

‘Sheezus’
Fraternity comedy follows through on pledge
Lily Allen A-
‘Neighbors’
Lily Allen has always had something interesting to say. Ever since her debut album, “Alright, Still,” dropped in 2007, the British bad girl has been spewing insults that sound rightly sweet over skatinged pop melodies. Whether she’s talking about her ex-boyfriend’s small manhood or telling George W. Bush to fuck off, girlfriend does it with a wink and a smile. In her first studio album in five years, Allen still has the same kitschy faux-pop aura, favoring everything from thumping club beats on single “Hard Out Here” to silly country throw downs on “As Long as I Got You.” But on this go around, things feel especially tongue-in-cheek. What else can one expect from an album entitled “Sheezus,” an obvious jab at Kanye West. The title track, in which Allen name-drops all the pop lady divas from Katy Perry to Lorde, is a particular highlight featuring lowwhirring sirens and a slow M.I.Aesque beat. Allen croons in light of all the other divas, she wants to wear the crown and be “Sheezus.” But be warned. As Allen sings in “Hard Out Here,” “If you can’t detect the sarcasm, you’ve misunderstood.” It’s not that Allen is purposely dissing all those other successful women, though lyrics like “We’re all watching Gaga, LOLO HAHA” are pretty brilliant. She’s pointing out the music landscape in which females are pitted against each other to release the No. 1 single. She makes a similar point on “Hard Out Here,” in which she asks, “Don’t you want somebody who objectifies you? Have you thought about your butt? Who’s gonna tear it in to?” Allen also peppers her album with adorable pop ditties like “L8 CMMR,” an ode to her “bad motherfucker” of a husband, and “Close Your Eyes.” It’s these album middle tracks that remind you what a lovely lyricist Allen was and continues to be. And if you forgot what a gorgeous voice she has, her cover of Keane’s “Somewhere Only We Know” is a bonus track. Her airy yet controlled vocals may not be anywhere near the powerhouse level of Beyonce or P!nk, but they’re refreshing in our current auto-tune friendly landscape. Allen may not top the charts like the ladies she mentions in “Sheezus,” but she still deserves to wear a crown of her own.
Seth Rogen, Rose Byrne, Zac Efron B+ After last summer’s “This Is The End,” I had a sneaking suspicion that all the homoerotic subtext in bro-comedies had crossed the border into straight homoeroticism. With “Neighbors,” an uproarious comedy in which a married couple spar with a bunch of frat boys who move in next door, my inkling was completely confirmed. Not only does the fraternity’s president (Zac Efron) spend a large portion of the movie shirtless, he also spends it taking molds of his penis with his brothers and squeezing his best friend’s (Dave Franco) testicles during a brawl. And it’s all relentlessly hilarious. The premise is ridiculous. Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne play Mac and Kelly Radner, a new-age couple who have just had a baby girl and who still feel the urge to have fun and party. But when a fraternity moves in next door, they unsuccessfully try to play it cool before setting in motion an epic faceoff between neighbors. The story flies only because Rogen and Byrne play Mac and Kelly like the most sincere of couples. Sure, he’s a little tubby and aloof while she’s gorgeous and slightly more collected. But they play off each other with a genuineness you don’t see between most couples on screen, or in reality. On the flip side, Efron, Franco and their brothers play their characters to the edge of parody without ever toppling over into dumb silliness. They’re very self-aware performances, but they’re still finely tuned and honest. Director Nicholas Stoller, who brought the same conviviality to movies like “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” and “The FiveYear Engagement,” seems poised on the edge of making his best work. He plays it fast and loose, letting his actors riff on the joke instead of getting bogged down in anything too heavy. It is, after all, a comedy, and there’s no better way to make a good comedy than to let a bunch of funny people be funny together. The cast is top-notch, every single one of them. Byrne is particularly sensational and the real standout, which makes it a shame when you realize she’s the only lead female in a movie of seriously funny dudes. “Neighbors” might not come close to passing the Bechdel test and it tends to feel like a one-trick pony once it’s all said and done. It’s uncompromisingly vulgar and features some of the most overly stimulating party sequences ever put on screen. Fortunately, that makes it a damn good pony with one hell of a trick.
