Student voice minimal in strategic planning

BY KATHRINE SCHULZE schulzek@indiana.edu @KathrineSchulze

Change seems to have been IU’s motto the past several years.

Administrators’ plans have directed the University toward new paths, and new schools have been formed as older ones consolidated.

Administrators are at the forefront of these changes, standing on podiums and before committees, explaining the University’s new direction to the IU community.

The voice of the student, however, remains in the background.

The newest batch of these University-changing documents is the IU-Bloomington Campus Strategic Plan.

The document is meant to carry the University into the next century, meaning big changes for the administration, faculty and students.

On the list of 167 individuals who were part of the Strategic Planning Committee, only six were students: four undergraduates and two graduate students.

These committees were each responsible for writing reports that led to certain sections of the Strategic Plan.

For instance, the Graduate Education team wrote a full report on the needed changes to the graduate experience at IU, which became the foundation for the Graduate Education section in the Strategic Plan.

Ronald Arruejo, a master’s student in the School of Public and Environmental Affairs, was one of two graduate students involved in the process.

The other graduate student, David Breed, was unable to attend any of the Strategic Plan meetings due to conflicts with his class schedule — he was kept abreast via email, Arruejo said.

Arruejo served on the Graduate Education team, offering input and comments where he could.

“Basically, on some issues they solicited my opinions because I am the only one that would know about it,” he said.

University: IU knew about DOE list in March FROM IDS REPORTS

IU-Bloomington is one of dozens of higher education institutions under investigation by the United States Department of Education for possible violations of federal law over dealing with sexual violence and harassment complaints.

A list of more than 50 schools was released Thursday morning by the DOE’s Office for Civil Rights. The DOE will not disclose case-specific information regarding any of the schools under investigation, according to a press release.

Associate Vice President for University Communications and IU Spokesperson Mark Land said IU’s inclusion on the list reflects a routine compliance review to check on the school’s handling of cases. Land said there have been no complaints filed against the University.

“We try to be very transparent,” he said. “We know that the work in this area is never going to be done, but we do feel good about what we’re trying to do.”

Land said the OCR informed the University in March that it had been selected for the list and will be cooperating with the review in hopes of further improving the University’s response to sexual assault.

“We realize that this is an extreme, serious issue,” Land said.

“We welcome all the help we can get.”

According to the 2013 IU Annual Security report, 35 sexual assaults were reported on the IUB campus in 2012. This number does not include any assaults reported off campus.

One other Indiana school, Vincennes University , is also listed.

“We hope this increased transparency will spur community dialogue about this important issue,” Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Catherine Lhamon said in the release. “I also want to make it clear that a college or university’s appearance on this list and being the subject of a Title IX investigation in no way indicates at this stage that the college or university is violating or has violated the law.”

IU overcomes water polo geographical challenge

BY EVAN HOOPFER ehoopfer@indiana.edu @EvanHoopfer

To be a successful college water polo program in any state besides California is an oddity.

Most of the high school players come from the Golden State, giving the area schools an edge when attracting talent.

But IU Coach Barry King has overcome the geographical challenges to build one of the nation’s best programs.

“There are more high schools in California that play water polo than the rest of the country put together,” IU Coach Barry King said.

The IU water polo team (22-5) is one of 10 teams to quality for the NCAA tournament.

The Hoosiers, the tournament’s No. 8 seed, will play No. 9 seed Wagner (25-11) at 1:30 p.m. Saturday. The match will be held at Counsilman Billingsley Aquatic Center.

Of the 10 teams in the NCAA tournament, seven teams are from California. IU and Wagner, located in Staten Island, N.Y., are the only schools located east of the Mississippi River SEE WATER POLO, PAGE 6

Domestic violence increases as state funding decreases

BY LINDSAY MOORE liramoor@indiana.edu @_lindsaymoore

New wings. That’s the message inscribed on the gates of Middle Way House. That’s what the clients of the shelter for domestic and sexual violence victims strive for.

Middle Way House offers 24-hour crisis intervention, emergency shelter, personal advocacy, legal advocacy, support groups, preventive programs and affordable housing — all free to clients.

It is this accessibility and prolonged care that make Middle Way House one of six nationally recognized programs for domestic violence. But its service comes at a price.

The recession hit nonprofit organizations hard financially. Nationally, 41 percent of nonprofits said their number-one issue was achieving long-term financial sustainability, according to the 2013 Nonprofit Finance Fund survey.

Statewide, 34 percent of Indiana’s

domestic violence programs experienced a decrease in government funding, according to the National Network to End Domestic Violence’s 2013 report.

Middle Way is no exception.

“We are experiencing decreases pretty much across the board,” said Toby Strout, executive director of Middle Way House.

These financial cut backs have resulted in a reduction of staff for Middle Way, Strout said. Due to unfunded mandates instated by state government, Middle Way had to remove its overnight volunteer staff despite having paid staff back up and approval from their insurance company.

These state unfunded mandates regulate this, as well as personnel policies, insurance levels, what programs Middle Way offers and how they are run. However, they do not provide funds to pay full-time employees to fulfill these requirements.

As a result, Middle Way relies heavily on their volunteers.

“Funds are short everywhere when you’re looking at nonprofits,” said Debra Morrow, Middle Way House community service coordinator. “There is no way that Middle Way House could do the work without the volunteers.”

According to the Middle Way 2012 annual report, the organization trained 370 volunteers who donated 27,676 hours of their time to make the shelter’s programs successful. These volunteers produce not only notable results but also a large financial break for Middle Way. In 2012, $277,000 was saved in salaries.

Roughly 60 to 70 percent of Middle Way volunteers are IU students through the University’s ServiceLearning Program.

“I think that as young leaders, we can go in with an optimistic attitude and change the perception of domestic violence and make a difference,” said Blair Heidenreich, a Middle Way volunteer and junior social services student.

Despite the volunteer and com-

munity support, it’s difficult for domestic violence programs to balance the increasing demand for services and decreasing government funds.

In 2007, the National Network to End Domestic Violence reported that, nationally, 61 percent of nonprofits’ income came from government grants.

In the 2011-12 annual report, government grants only covered 34 percent of nonprofits’ income.

The Middle Way 2012 financial report shows that 33 percent of its income is supported by grants from the federal, state and local government.

This leaves a difference of more than $1 million dollars for Middle Way to make up through private foundations, fundraising events and donor solicitation.

This decline in funding coincides with a rise in need.

Coast-to-coast, the Nonprofit Finance Fund found that 80 percent of nonprofits noticed an increase in demand for services in 2013. Fifty six percent of these nonprofits also re-

ported that they were unable to meet this increased demand.

Middle Way is no different. Its 2012 annual report shows that of the 55 women who requested emergency shelter, 24 were denied because of lack of availability.

“We’re still at capacity in the majority of our programs statewide,” said Laura Berry, executive director of Indiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence. “We’re still struggling to meet the needs of the requests of our population.”

In 2013, the Indiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence found that 601 requests for shelter statewide were not met because of capacity limits.

In just one day, 298 requests for services could not be met in Indiana because of a lack of resources.

The economic recession plays a role in both of these issues. Fiscal cutbacks resulted in less money coming into nonprofits from both SEE MIDDLE WAY, PAGE 6

Rent-A-Puppy supports local animal shelter

BY SUZANNE GROSSMAN spgrossm@indiana.edu @suzannepaige6

Students exchanged $5 and their IDs for 30 minutes with puppies Thursday afternoon.

The Lutheran Campus Ministry at IU partnered with the Bloomington Animal Shelter for the third annual Rent-A-Puppy event and had over 150 students attend, said Maureen Savage, event coordinator with LCM. “My first year here we were trying to come up with fun ideas for a fundraiser,” Savage said. “This was an event that we did at my undergrad at Western Michigan University. (LCM Minister) Jeff (Schacht) loved the idea, and we’ve been doing it for the past three years, and it’s been going strong ever since.”

The money raised during the day is split between LCM and the shelter, Savage said.

“The first year we made somewhere near $1,500,” LCM Diaconal Minister Jeff Schacht said. “Then last year we made around $1,200, and this year we hope to stay north of $1,000.”

Rent-A-Puppy is a fundraiser, but it serves other purposes as well. The event helps students relieve stress and gives the dogs a chance to so-

cialize and leave the shelter.

“We purposely plan it during dead week so people can come and relax before finals,” Savage said. “Everyone’s super stressed and papers and projects are piling up. It’s especially for folks who have dogs at home they are missing. It helps them get a puppy fix and relax before the final plunge.”

Aside from the funds raised, which help with supplies and medical expenses for the shelter, the time outdoors is what the shelter sees as most valuable, said Emily Herr, Bloomington Animal Shelter outreach coordinator.

“The main goal is to get exposure for the shelter and to have dogs experience one-on-one time with people,” Herr said. “They don’t get this on a day-to-day basis, and that interaction is really important for their health.”

This year, the event consisted of 15 dogs, but the shelter currently has over 40 dogs and around 27 of them are available to adopt, Herr said. She said she hopes the event can expand in the future and attract more students so more dogs can come get time with students.

Because the event has been so popular, LCM added a Puppy Kissing Booth for people who may not have a

full 30 minutes to play with a puppy.

For just $1, the event had a designated dog for buyers to pet and hang out with for 1-5 minutes, Savage said.

Savage said she hopes the day brings more people to adopt dogs but rarely sees

this happen.

“It would be a nice goal to find forever homes for the pups but with students going home it can be rough,” Savage said. “There was someone who posted on our Facebook event who said this is where they found their dog,

Swahili Flagship students graduate

BY ASHLEIGH SHERMAN aesherma@indiana.edu @aesherma

The Swahili Flagship program, formed in 2011, will soon say “kwa heri,” or “goodbye,” to its first set of students.

Karlie Query, 23, Timothy Hoffelder, 22, and Christa Kumming, 23, will graduate from IU in May. Under the Swahili Flagship program, which is part of the College of Arts and Sciences, undergraduate students achieve superior language proficiency and earn certification from the Language Flagship, a natioanal initiative aimed at implementing innovative language programs across the nation.

Query, who will also graduate with a major in psychology, minors in African studies, African languages and communication and culture and a certificate in journalism, joined the Swahili Flagship program as a sophomore after transferring from IU-Purdue University Columbus.

“I decided I was going to take Swahili because I was kind of bored with other languages,” Query, a Columbus, Ind., native, said. “And my professor, one day in class, asked us, ‘Who wants to go to Africa?’ and people raised their hands, and then she handed out informational papers about the Flagship.

And we actually went.”

Hoffelder, who will also graduate with majors in French and linguistics, joined the Swahili Flagship program as a freshman after encountering Swahili through a high school friend from Kenya.

In addition to Swahili and French, the Boren Scholar has studied Spanish, Mandarin Chinese and Arabic.

“Ever since middle school, that’s been what I liked doing the most in school: studying language,” Hoffelder, a Pittsburgh native, said.

“For a long time, I’ve been studying one or another.”

Spoken by over 140 million individuals, Swahili is the national language of four central and east African nations: Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, according to the program’s website.

Being the only Swahili Flagship program in the

country and one of only two African Language Flagship programs in the country, the Swahili Flagship program differentiates itself from alternative language programs in five key fields: accelerated language learning, advanced culture courses, overseas study, internship and professional connections.

“The students who decide to join this program decide to join this program because they want to be proficient in the language,” said William Kanyi, assistant director of the program.

“They are not coming to this program to meet the requirements for their foreign language requirements.

The Flagship program is about learning the culture, connecting with the culture and communicating.”

To determine if they have achieved superior language proficiency, students complete five exams: two online exams evaluating the students’ writing, reading and listening skills and two longdistance phone interviews evaluating the students’ oral skills.

Students must reach a superior level on the oral exams, designed by The American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages, and level three of five on the writing, reading and listening exams, designed by the Interagency Language Roundtable, to graduate from the program.

In order to achieve superior language proficiency, in addition to completing a maximum of 45 credit hours in Swahili language, culture and independent study courses, students must meet with language partners three hours a week and can participate in extracurricular activities including conferences, film screenings and cooking classes.

Though the program can be completed in three to five years, students typically spend one academic year at IU, one summer in Zanzibar, another academic year at IU and another academic year in Zanzibar.

Query, Hoffelder and Kumming, as the first graduates of the program, spent a full year and a half in Zanzibar instead of breaking up their time abroad.

While in Zanzibar, a semiautonomous island chain off of Tanzania’s coast, the students spent the summer studying with fellow

Herr also said the shelter doesn’t see a spike in adoptions because of Rent-A-Puppy, but she does think it benefits adoptions another way.

“I think, all in all, it makes the dogs more adoptable,” Herr said. “Just having time

American students, a semester studying with Tanzanian students at The State University of Zanzibar and a semester interning at a location of their choice.

While in Africa, Query interned at the Detroit Sober House, where she counseled heroin addicts, worked with the arts program and developed a filing system.

“There were just so many lessons that I learned in Zanzibar that I couldn’t have learned anywhere else,” she said.

“I feel like I actually matured and grew up more than I could have ever thought I would have before the age of 24.”

While in Africa, Hoffelder interned at Radio Instruction for Strengthening Education, an educational program targeted at kindergartners, first-graders and second-graders, “like ‘Sesame Street’ or ‘Dora the Explorer,’ but on the radio,” Hoffelder said.

“It gave me such a better understanding of, worldwide, how similar we are,” he said.

“We all have the same problems and that’s what makes us similar, but we solve them in totally different ways and address them in totally different ways,

and that’s how we seem so different.”

Following graduation, Query plans to join the Peace Corps while Hoffelder plans to earn a Master’s in teaching English to speakers of other languages from Saint Michael’s College in Colchester, Vermont.

Both said that the Swahili Flagship program influenced their future plans.

“When you’re sitting in a classroom in the United States, trying to learn a language, it’s sterile,” Query said. “There’s not enough flavor to it. You have to go.

You have to be there. You have to hang out with the people on the streets. You have to taste the food. You have to stumble. You have to make a fool of yourself.”

You get out of the experience what you put into the experience, Hoffelder said.

“It’s a really big commitment,” Hoffelder said.

“Sometimes, it kind of feels like a second job, but at the same time, it’s hugely rewarding. If you’re willing to commit to a language and a culture and a part of the world, then you will receive so much more than any other student who doesn’t join and commit to that. And you’ll pretty much become an expert.”

away from the shelter and being more socialized with humans and other dogs helps them. They might not get adopted after this, but it might be a factor in them getting adopted later.”

Even as the economy begins to make improvements, nonprofit membership organizations are continuing to struggle.

The 10th nonprofit employment report from the Indiana Nonprofits: Scope and Community Dimensions project in the School of Public and Environmental Affairs reported that nonprofit organizations in Indiana lost more than 1,000 employees from 2007 to 2011. This accounts for trade unions, political groups, business associations and fundraising organizations.

The report points out that this section of the nonprofit sector does not face any competition from the forprofit sector.

The Indiana Nonprofits: Scope and Community Dimensions project is directed

by Kristen Grønbjerg, SPEA professor and Efroymson Chair in Philanthropy at the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy in Indianapolis.

in 2001,” Grønbjerg said in a May 1 press release.

The researchers, Grønbjerg and IU Master of Public Affairs Deb Seltzer said membership organizations may have more difficulty attracting participants and donors than other nonprofits such as health and education.

The report also found that charities consistently outperformed nonprofits in both payroll and employment.

An example of this can be seen in civic organizations, as charitable civic organization employment grew by almost 50 percent from 1995 to 2011 and employment in all other civic nonprofits dropped by more than 25 percent.

These results may be worrisome for the Indiana economy given that these groups provide avenues for an array of social, spiritual, political and philanthropic pursuits, according to the report.

This report does not examine to what extent the public’s engagement with membership organizations has declined, though the loss of employees may impact the organizations’ abilities to effectively interact with the communities they serve.

Arruejo said international education and diversity retention were two areas he was able to contribute to during his committee meetings.

While he missed the first five meetings because of a late appointment as the Graduate and Professional Student Organization treasurer, he said he soon felt like part of the group. “I was there more on the commenting side,� he said. “They were able to incorporate my ideas, but I wasn’t the one actually writing the final words that you see on the provost’s plan.�

Executive Vice President and Provost Lauren Robel spoke on the Strategic Plan at faculty meetings, a campus town hall meeting and her State of the Campus address.

Each time, she emphasized the importance of public comment. “The need to have students involved in something like this is just really obvious,� she said.

A small council of administrators and faculty chose the student team members for the Strategic Plan, Robel said.

When senior Gene Kim contributed to the Undergraduate Education team, he sat in a room packed with professors and administrators. Only two other students could be looked to for support on student views. Kim was the only international student. “They need some student input when they form plans and all those kinds of things, but it was difficult for me to contribute my perspectives onto that process,� he said.

He attributed this difficulty to the large number of “experts� on the committee.

As an international student from South Korea, Kim originally wanted to be on the International Initiatives: Students team, but he was told his perspective was needed in the Undergraduate Education section. No students were on the International Initiatives: Students team. “When we tried to form plans specifically for international students and how they should be involved in student organizations, per se, I had to provide some extra information to professors, because they don’t know much about what international students on campus are going through,� Kim said.

He said he was happy

with his part in the plan but, looking back, he wished there had been more international student input in his committee. “I think this is a rare opportunity for me to be involved,� he said.

In addition to those six students who directly worked on the Strategic Plan, Robel said she worked to reach out to multiple student groups.

On a campus of more than 40,000 students, Robel directly spoke to 322 students outside of the committee, according to a document from her office.

This included a total of 41 students who gave input on the Undergraduate Education section. Those students were a part of IU Student Association and the Deans Advisory Council.

This number also includes the 45 graduate students at a GPSO meeting whom Robel spoke to as part of additional outreach for the plan.

Arruejo said he was satisfied with what he contributed and the document his committee produced, but he did wish there was a louder graduate student voice in the committee. “At minimum, I wish there was another graduate student that was actually a doc-

Both Alex Howe and Mindee Kelly rented their puppies because they have dogs back home in Middlebury, Ind., and find it hard to be away from them. The two said they were satisfied with the puppy-renting experience. “I mean it could be more contained maybe, but other than that it’s pretty hard to go wrong with renting a puppy for 30 minutes,� Howe said.

The event didn’t convince the two to adopt a dog because they have already decided to buy one when they live off campus next year.

Howe isn’t adopting from the shelter because they didn’t have the breed she wanted but she said she fell in love with Jupiter, the pit-

torate because they have very different needs than a professional student,� he said.

Arruejo said he would have liked one graduate student in the humanities, one from the sciences and one each from a master’s and doctoral program — at least three in total.

While the Strategic Plan is far-reaching across campus, IU has also changed at the school level.

In cases of school mergers, such as the School of Library and Information Sciences becoming a department within the School of Informatics and Computing, students had to work to voice their opinions.

In 2012, when the SLIS merger was first announced, Anand Kulanthaivel was in the middle of completing a master of information science through the school.

By the time he graduated in 2013, SLIS was no longer a school, but a department.

Student voice was minimal, he said. Most of what SLIS students contributed went through the faculty. “I wish there were more opportunities for student input,� Kulanthaivel said.

While he said the school and faculty created a very open atmosphere, he thought

bull/shepherd mix puppy she rented yesterday. “If I could I would take this one right now,� Kelly said. “I don’t really need my ID back, right?�

The time and money was well worth the cost, Kelly said. “Everyone is going to buy Starbucks, so screw Star-

bucks and go rent a dog,�

Kelly said. “It’s a lot more destressing than a coffee.�

Howe said she hopes students will take the time to participate to benefit the dogs. “It’s good company for the dogs and exercise, too,�

Howe said. “If nothing else, do it for the dogs.�

student input in the merger could have been improved.

As students were given updates on the merger, Kulanthaivel said the SLIS students realized there wasn’t much they could do. “So much of it was set in stone already,� he said. “We felt pretty helpless.�

Students in the School of Journalism had more opportunity to voice their opinions about the school merging with the Department of Communication and Culture and the Department of Telecommunications to form the Media School.

Bari Finkel, a senior in the journalism school, is part of the Journalism Student Advisory Board, a group that advocates for journalism students as the school becomes part of the new Media School. “This entire operation takes so many people, and I think the student voice is probably the most important voice in this,� Finkel said.

She said there have been disconnects between students and administration outside of the journalism school and disconnects between the students of telecommunications, communication and culture and the journalism school, but

it hasn’t slowed down the board. “I think that the student voice is invaluable in all of the categories because we’re the ones who are going through the programs now, and we’re very conscious of our education,� she said.

The advisory board has put together reports about what the students want to see in The Media School, including space for student media, improvements to the senior capstone and a mentor program, Finkel said.

The board has also started to work with CMCL and telecommunications students to advise on a Media Schoolwide level.

The Journalism Student Advisory Board will continue to contribute to the changes brought about by the Media School next year, Finkel said.

And it should be in place for at least the first few years of the new school. “I think this is really the right step for IU,� Finkel said. “I think it is going forward in a way that other colleges aren’t and it’s really impressive, and I’m excited to be a part of it. But it’s also scary to be a student among all of this because we know that there’s a possibility we won’t be listened to.�

Law could alleviate prison overcrowding

BY DENNIS BARBOSA dbarbosa@indiana.edu @DennisBarbosa86

A new law revamping the state’s criminal code for felony classifications could cause stress on local community jails in an attempt to alleviate prison overcrowding.

Gov. Mike Pence signed House Enrolled Act 1006 in March. It will take effect July 1 of this year.

Level 6 felons with less than 90 days actual time served will be diverted back to the community. That number will change to one year starting July 1, 2015. “Indiana should be the worst place in America to commit a serious crime and the best place, once you’ve done your time, to get a second chance,� Pence said in a press release. “The legislation that I sign today will reform and strengthen Indiana’s criminal code by focusing resources on the most serious offenses, and the related legislation will give a second chance to those who strive to re-enter society and become productive, law-abiding citizens.�

Indiana ranked among the 10 states with the greatest imprisonment rate increases in the last five years, according to a recent survey

by PEW Charitable Trusts.

Indiana showed a 9-percent decrease in crime rate with a 3-percent increase in prison population for 2012 imprisonment rates.

Linda Brady, Monroe County chief probation officer, said there has not been a community discussion between the circuit court judges, the prosecutor’s office and community corrections, but judges and probation officers are currently receiving training in light of the new changes in Indiana criminal law taking effect in July. “There’s really no way to know what to expect til it happens,� Brady said, referring to the possible increase in low-level felons being diverted back to the community.

American Institutes for Research released a local fiscal impact assessment of HEA 1006 in January drawing on data from the Indiana Judicial Center and Indiana Risk Assessment Systems.

Based on data from 20,036 offenders sentenced to prison from July 1, 2012, to June 30, 2013, the analysis projected that Monroe County would retain 177 criminal offenders. “There’s no question about that,� said Doug Garrison, Indiana Department of Correction chief communications officer, referring to

“Indiana should be the worst place in America to commit a serious crime and the best place, once you’ve done your time, to get a second chance.�

Mike Pence, governor of Indiana

the potential stress local jails could face.

The earliest any money can be allocated to community corrections will be July 2015, after the next legislative session, which will address the state budget, Brady said. “The concern across the state is that the legislators provide appropriate funds for the offenders who will be now supervised in the community,� she said.

Garrison said he anticipated the new provision in HEA 1006 to save the state money by avoiding the construction of new state prisons.

Brady said she did not know if the new law would save the state money, but if it does, there are provisions in Indiana law that allow for the IDOC to write grants to community corrections and probation offices of up to $11 million.

This weekend is the annual Welcome Back Weekend at the Indiana state parks and reservoirs, which means hikers and nature lovers will be able to visit these areas for free. “This weekend is an invitation to shake out the tent or set up the camper and enjoy all that our state parks have to offer,� Dan Bortner, Indiana Department of Natural Resources State Parks and Reservoirs director, said in a press release.

The free admission also applies to state forest recreation areas.

There will be a number of events around the parks, which Murphy said she wants to encourage everyone to participate in.

The events include the fourth annual Morel Mushroom Festival at Brown County State Park, geocaching at Harmonie State Park and a walking-stick workshop at Patoka Lake. The Hound Hike at Shakamak Park is an opportunity for families to bring their dogs along.

There will also be a couple of changes to the schedule, including the reopening of caves at Spring Mill State Park for groups with permits and Wolf Cave at McCormick’s Creek State Park for everyone, according to a press release. “We do it just to remind people that, A, it’s time to get

the tent out, shake it out and make sure you’re ready for summer, and, B, that we’re open all year,� DNR Assistant Director for Stewardship Ginger Murphy said. “We’re not just here from Memorial Day to Labor Day.�

It’s best to come out to the parks and reservoirs in spring because the bugs aren’t as bad, Murphy said.

The event has been going on since 2006, but this year the Division of State Parks and Reservoirs is really hoping people will share their experiences about the weekend over social media, Murphy said. “We get some photos from people and comments from people about places they’ve liked, but it’s the first time we’ve really done it directed specifically to the weekend,�

Murphy said.

Visitors are encouraged to take a selfie at their favorite state park and tweet it or submit photos to the DNR Flickr page, according to a press release.

Generally attendance depends on the weather, but Murphy said this weekend is looking like it will have a good outcome. “It’s no fun camping when it’s cold and wet, but if we have a weekend when the sun’s shining, then it’s a great time to be outside,� Murphy said. “We’re hoping everyone will be outside and enjoying the weather together,� Murphy said.

A 28-year-old woman reported being sexually assaulted by a 39-year-old man Wednesday.

The woman reported being at a west-side residence when the incident occurred, Bloomington Police Department Sgt. Joe Crider said.

The woman said she knows the man and was at his home voluntarily.

It is not clear if the woman will pursue criminal charges as of Thursday, Crider said. He said detectives have not yet interviewed the man.

Police collected a rape kit for evidence and are actively investigating the incident.

Starlite Drive-In theater will reopen this weekend, with shows slotted for Friday and Saturday evenings.

The films playing are “The Amazing Spider-Man 2� and “Mr. Peabody and Sherman.�

The gates will open two hours before dusk. Movies will begin playing at dusk.

The theater was in danger of foreclosing after previous owner Cindy Jarvis fell into financial trouble. Mark Freeman, a Bloomington entrepreneur, bought the drive-in this spring in the hopes of preserving the space.

Freeman and his family worked to prepare the theater for opening around its scheduled times. They repaired some of the damaged equipment and brought the theater, which has been around since 1955, into a new era.

Freeman also updated the website and Facebook page, adding graphics to attract younger patrons, as well as families.

Concessions will be available. Starlite is located south of Bloomington at 7630 S. Old State Road 37.

Tickets are $8 for adults and $4 for children, and children 5 and under get in free.

» WATER POLO

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 who are in the NCAA tournament.

For the water polo NCAA tournament, six teams receive byes to the championships taking place in Los Angeles. The next two teams are determined through play-in games.

IU and Wagner are playing in one of the play-in games. No. 7 seed University of California San Diego plays No. 10 seed Pomona-Pitzer in the other play-in game.

Both of the winners go to Los Angeles for the water polo championships.

Most college water polo players come from California. That’s where the dominant high school programs are, King said. Eleven of the 23 players on IU are from California, as well as Coach Barry King.

“It’s just their culture,” sophomore goalkeeper Jessica Gaudreault said. “I’m from Canada and hockey is a big thing. It’s the same thing for California with water polo.”

If IU beats Wagner, the Hoosiers move onto the water polo championships in

This financial strain created extra stress at home, which caused increased assault rates, Berry said.

“During those economic downturns a couple years ago we were seeing some of our highest numbers,” Berry said.

The threat of unemployment or homelessness also resulted in victims staying longer in shelters. From 2009 to 2011, the length of shelter stays increased by 18,419 days statewide, according to the Indiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence.

The federal government only funds the first 30 days for victims in emergency shelters, according to the Indiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence said.

The longest stay in the Middle Way emergency shelter has been eight months.

Los Angeles to play No. 1 seed Stanford (22-1).

IU played another California water polo juggernaut earlier this season — USC — and hung tough at the end of the first quarter, trailing just 4-3. But the depth of USC was too much for the Hoosiers to handle as IU fell to the thenNo. 1 Trojans 15-5.

This is the kind of depth the Hoosiers will face in Los Angeles for the championships if they defeat Wagner.

“We’re probably not as deep as a Stanford, USC or a UCLA,” King said. “(USC’s) depth versus our depth showed itself in the second half.”

The team is realistic about their chances of winning a national title. Both Gaudreault and junior utility player Shelby Taylor said the team would be satisfied with a fifth place finish.

Their coach, King, doesn’t view winning a national title vital to defining their season as successful or not.

“Our goal has never been ‘We want to win this title or that title,’” King said. “Our goal all season has always been: be the best team we could be, all the time.”

Unlike most programs, Middle Way doesn’t have a time limit on how long clients can stay, they said.

Middle Way doesn’t believe in limiting its clients, it believes in empowering them, according to its mission statement.

“It’s the woman who needs to understand what she needs,” said Dorothy Granger, head of Middle Way marketing and communications. “We don’t tell the women what to do. We will help them do what they know they need to do.”

In 2012, Middle Way’s rate of domestic violence victims returning to their violent relationships was 13 percent.

This is compared to the national return rate of 55 to 70 percent, Granger said.

“In the perfect world we would work ourselves out of jobs,” Morrow said. “We wouldn’t be needed anymore and that would be wonderful, but that’s a bigger societal issue.”

Boilermakers come to town

BY ANDREW VAILLIENCOURT availlie@indiana.edu @AndrewVcourt

The last time IU played Purdue, a brawl ensued.

It was the Big Ten championship game in 2012, and it all started with a violent ninth inning slide into then shortstop Michael Basil who was covering third base after a wild throw went into the outfield. Basil took exception, and the dugouts cleared.

After the dust settled, Purdue came away with a 6-5 win.

This weekend, the Boilermakers (12-29, 5-10) travel to Bloomington where they will face the No. 15 Hoosiers (29-12, 13-2) in a three-game series at Bart Kaufman Field.

The players from that

IU team haven’t forgotten about what happened last time.

“There’s only a few guys on the team now that were actually there for the championship game, I think maybe half the team,” junior pitcher Luke Harrison said.

“I think now we have the ability to come out and put them in their place a little bit and give it to them.”

IU Coach Tracy Smith said he doesn’t believe this weekend is bigger than any other.

“It’s not big because it’s Purdue,” Smith said. “I just do not get caught up in all that garbage. It’s big because we’re competing for a conference championship, we’re competing for a national seed, and I don’t care if it was Purdue or anyone

else coming in here, we want to take care of business at home.”

Smith said he expects large crowds this weekend and wants to give the fans a worthy performance on the field. He has maintained his goal of getting a national seed and with a strong finish, experts Kendall Rogers of perfectgame.org and Aaron Fitt of baseballamerica.com, say that is very possible.

“I don’t give anyone that much credit,” Smith said.

“It’s irrelevant to me because we play 56 games. If you get all emotional and jacked up for somebody, then you set yourself up to fail.”

IU is coming off a 16-1 victory against Smith’s alma mater, Miami Ohio, where they put up the most runs

and hits (20) that they have had all year.

“With what happened last time I think it makes it even more exciting,” junior outfielder Will Nolden said.

“We want to go out there and show them who the best team in Indiana is.”

The Hoosiers will start senior Joey DeNato on the mound on Friday. He is 9-1 with a 2.26 ERA on the season. He will be followed Saturday by sophomore Christian Morris who is 2-3 with a 2.47 ERA. Senior Brian Korte, who is 1-0 with a 2.49 ERA, will take the hill Sunday.

“I’d be lying to you if I said the guys aren’t going to remember how that all went down,” Smith said. “I don’t anticipate a mental let down from our team.”

Divided court Allegations of racial slurs, ignorance at southern Indiana high school basketball game spark statewide debate

BY SAMANTHA SCHMIDT schmisam@indiana.edu @schmidtsam7

The visiting team knew the big game would be tough.

The Lawrence North Wildcats from Indianapolis were playing the Bedford North Lawrence Lady Stars, the defending state champions.

They met on BNL’s home court in its small southern Indiana town for the semi-state game.

Every Lawrence North player is black. They braced to play in front of a roaring crowd of almost 6,000 white faces in a state where basketball and race have been known to combust in nasty ways.

In the days leading up to the game, Lawrence North had requested the game be moved to a neutral gym and at least one minority official work the game. Both requests had been denied.

All week before the game, at team practices the Wildcats coach had blasted a CD with crowd noise, trying to teach his girls to stay focused. But nothing could have prepared them for the ugliness that awaited them inside BNL’s gym.

The taunts from BNL’s student section began as the girls from Lawrence North’s team began warming up.

“Niggers.”

“We could smell you when you got off the bus.”

Lawrence North parents and the principal were shocked to see many of the BNL students wearing hunting gear and safari costumes.

Beneath one of the baskets, two fans were jumping up and down in gorilla suits.

Lawrence North Head Coach Chris Giffin was so focused on the game that he didn’t see the gorillas and didn’t hear many of the racial slurs directed at his players. Five minutes before the tip-off, he gathered with them in the locker room. He told the girls to strategize on defense and to block out any negativity. The coach wanted his team to stay focused on one thing — going to the state finals.

The girls said nothing about the taunts or fans. As always, they recited the Lord’s Prayer.

“Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.”

Looking back, their coach is still stunned at their bravery.

“Had I heard some of the things they were forced to hear, we wouldn’t have played,” Giffin said. “Nobody

should have to do that.” * * * Lawrence North lost the semi-state game in overtime, 62-54. BNL would go on to win the state championship for the second year in a row. But the score from the semi-state game on March 1 was soon overshadowed by the aggression of the BNL fans.

Days later, the semi-state girls basketball game became the most notorious racial controversy in Indiana high school athletics in recent years.

The behavior of the teenagers in the stands was bad enough. But the deeper issue turned out to be that so many adults allowed it to happen.

The game presented “systematic racism,” Lawrence North parents and staff argued, beginning with the refusal by the Indiana High School Athletic Association to change the venue or officials. A member of the governing body’s executive staff had attended the game but made no attempt to quell the taunts or suggest the students remove the gorilla suits.

BNL administrators said nothing to the students about their gorilla costumes until the Lawrence North principal asked them to intervene.

The controversy was heightened because the game took place at one of the premier high school basketball

schools in the state against a team of state champions coached by basketball legend Damon Bailey. Bailey did not respond to email requests for comment.

Three days after the game, Lawrence North principal Jeff Crousore complained to the IHSAA. The governing body is currently wrapping up its investigation, and the two schools plan to meet next week.

The state’s chapter of the NAACP, the United States’ oldest civil rights organization, filed its own complaint.

“It’s 2014,” said Chrystal Radcliff, president of the Indianapolis chapter.

“Nobody should ever have to go any places and be treated like that.” * * * Basketball is a way of life in Indiana. But for decades, racism has seeped onto the court.

“If it happens in society, it’s going to happen in sports,” said IU Professor Gary Sailes, who teaches courses on race in athletics.

Crispus Attucks High School in Indianapolis became the first black team in the nation to win an all-state title in 1955, according to Greg Guffey in his book “The Golden Age of Indiana High School Basketball.” The school had been a brainchild of the Ku Klux Klan, created to segregate black

students.

The black team faced staunch prejudice in small towns outside Indianapolis. Fans would yell racial taunts out of car windows. When they won the state championship, there was no victory celebration — the city refused.

When predominantly black teams traveled to towns like Martinsville, coaches told players to go right from the bus to the court, never stopping to eat in restaurants.

Bigotry lingered for decades. In 1998, Martinsville came under national fire, featured in Sports Illustrated and USA Today. During one game, Martinsville fans yelled, “Here come the darkies,” to Bloomington High School North’s racially mixed team. During the game, Martinsville players bit several Bloomington North players. The school was banned from hosting conference games for more than a year.

Just last year, a group of white Highland Hills Middle School students wore black masks to an eighthgrade basketball game against Parkview Middle School, a team that included black players.

Some students wore gorilla masks and one mask that appeared to represent President Barack Obama. The principal quickly asked the students to remove the masks, called the parents of the students and later offered sessions on diversity awareness.

In some towns and schools, students don’t realize that a gorilla suit or mask might be offensive, Sailes said.

Many of these kids, the IU professor said, are not racist — they’re racially naïve.

But blatant racism is still present today, Sailes said, especially in small Indiana towns. He often asks his IU students to write letters about their experiences with racism. One student said that even when the country idolized Michael Jordan, “If he were in the wrong place at the wrong time in my town, he would find himself killed.”

As an African-American 6-foot-2 man, Sailes said he refuses to get out of the car when he drives through small towns in the state, even today.

“Racism and bigotry are alive and well in small Indiana towns,” Sailes said. * * * The two teams from the semi-state game, BNL and Lawrence North, play SEE DIVIDED, PAGE 8

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 for drastically different high schools.

This academic year, BNL is 94 percent white, according to the Indiana Department of Education. A total of eight black students and 44 multiracial students attend the school. A BNL yearbook from two years ago shows an allwhite faculty and staff. One student said the only black teacher is an occasional substitute.

It’s a school where everybody knows everybody, students say.

The yearbook is filled with page after page of all-white faces. Some favorite hobbies listed by students included deer hunting, motocross racing and horse showing at the 4-H Fair.

A photo spread from two years ago shows a group of three boys in gorilla costumes cheering on the basketball team.

Basketball is everything at BNL. The teams play on the newly refurbished Damon Bailey Court, with its three state championship banners hanging in the northeast corner. Among the girls that Bailey coaches on the team is his daughter, Alexa.

The school’s basketball history comes with lasting traditions for the fans. Elaborate costumes are always present in the stands. Students have worn police costumes, white masks and even brown paper bags over their heads. When they play Bloomington North, they dress up as lion tamers.

They dress up as “hicks,” too, senior Lucas Howell said.

“Our school is known for being ruthless in the student section, dressing up and having fun,” Howell said. “It’s not meant to be taken in any way.”

By contrast, Lawrence North is a city school with twice as many students as BNL and 10 percent more poor ones. No race is the majority. It is 42 percent white and 38 percent black.

Last year’s yearbook depicts fan traditions such as the roller coaster cheer at athletic events. It shows the time a group of students convinced administrators to take part in a Lawrence North version of the Harlem Shake video, aired on the school’s morning news show. The school has an all-black gospel choir and a predominantly black cheerleading squad. Students of color comprised half of the homecoming court.

Lawrence North’s athletic

director predicted a culture clash. He emailed the IHSAA a week ahead of the game requesting a minority official.

“In short, perceptions matter,” Principal Brett Crousore wrote in his complaint to the IHSAA. The IHSAA representatives, he wrote, “clearly could not grasp the world in which we live as school administrators advocating for our children and community.”

The IHSAA’s response was that the group selects officials well in advance and does not allow changes, Assistant Commissioner Chris Kaufman said.

Lawrence North Coach Giffin had read about racist instances in the town of Bedford’s past.

“Certainly you don’t want to paint the whole town with one brush, but obviously it has been there,” Giffin said.

“We knew it was going to be a very raucous, volatile environment and certainly a difficult one to play in.”

In the days leading up to the game, teachers at Lawrence North urged students to go support the team. One government teacher excused students from writing a paper if they went to BNL, Lawrence North senior Kody Cartwright said. Another student remembers his teacher showing him an article about a history of racism in the Bedford area.

Students and fans packed into seven buses to drive to Bedford. But when they arrived, the bleachers were filled with BNL fans, and administrators had to move fans to make room.

After he saw the gorilla suits, the Lawrence North assistant coach moved to stand between the crowd and his players. * * * The two boys in the gorilla suits had no idea they were about to become the center of a statewide controversy. They were full of energy beneath the Lawrence North basket.

BNL seniors Kaegan Key and Lucas Howell had worn the suits before with no problems, so the semi-state game wouldn’t be any different, they thought. The suits would be perfect for the safari costume theme — they hoped to “capture the Wildcats.”

Key said it didn’t even cross his mind that the opposing team was entirely black.

At one point, a couple of Howell’s friends cautioned him that the gorilla costumes could be misunderstood, he

recalled. But he dismissed them. It was tradition. All in good fun. He couldn’t imagine anyone interpreting it any other way.

As the game was about to begin, Key was singing and dancing, just like always.

BNL’s athletic director tapped him on a furry shoulder, telling him the boys needed to take the suits off.

Key was shocked.

“Why?” he asked. “Is there a problem?”

The athletic director told them he would explain later.

“Just take them off.”

Hostility seemed to build.

During free-throws, BNL fans shouted words like “ratchet,” a slang word for a coarse, undesirable person. They said things like, “Go back to Gary,” referring to the Indiana town with a population that’s 80 percent black.

At halftime, the teams were tied 27-27. The lines for concessions were packed.

While waiting in line to buy a Sprite, one Lawrence North female student said she was called a “nigger bitch.”

BNL took the lead as the game neared its end. An announcer urged both teams not to storm the court.

Kaegan Key’s mom texted him as the game neared the end, asking him how it was going.

“Good,” he said, “but we had to take our suits off.”

“Why?” Jodie Key asked.

“Are you guys winning?”

They were ahead, her son texted.

“That’s probably why, Kaegan. They’re mad.”

Kaegan Key later read articles in the Indianapolis Star and WTHR referring to “racially targeted behavior” and

a statewide investigation. The Lawrence North complaint letter said that its students, coaches and parents saw the gorilla outfits as a “racially insensitive choice.”

Key said he was horrified.

“The first thing that came to my head was, ‘I’m not racist.’” * * * The Lawrence North behavior sparked a statewide debate.

Principal Crousore urged the IHSAA to prohibit future state tournament games from being held at a home court.

Tournament locations are always predetermined, Chris Kaufman, IHSAA assistant commissioner, said in an interview. They always run the risk that a tournament game will land at a team’s home venue. Playing at an IHSAAmember school is substantially cheaper than playing at a neutral location, such as Assembly Hall. The IHSAA pre-selected BNL as the semistate location, even though they knew the team had won the state tournament the year before.

Indiana NAACP President Barbara Bolling said the gorilla suits were not the crux of the problem. The racial taunts are the bigger issue, she said.

It might mean that Indiana high schools need a level of training regarding racial sensitivity, Bolling said.

BNL responded to the complaints with a letter of apology.

Superintendent Gary Conner said the gorilla suits and safari costumes were “not racially motivated” and were “intended to promote school spirit.”

“We will continue to closely monitor our student body’s behavior during events,” Conner said in the apology letter. “We will not tolerate students or others representing our corporation who compromise the integrity of our school by engaging in racially insensitive behavior.”

In attempts to diffuse the conflict, Lawrence North Principal Crousore instructed all basketball players and staff not to speak to reporters.

He then visited classrooms and urged students to let him handle the issue.

But the principal couldn’t stop the Twitter battle that ensued.

Lawrence North students called BNL “racist” and threatened to pick fights with BNL students.

BNL students called Lawrence North “sore losers.”

Some fired more racial taunts.

One BNL student tweeted “Lawrence North be like,” with a picture of a gorilla. Another student tweeted a caption saying “ghetto grammar” along with a photo of the warm-up shirts worn by the Lawrence North girls, which read “We all we got.”

And another: “Personally I was offended there wasn’t a white girl on that team...who’s racist now?” * * * The IHSAA investigation continues. Lawrence North Principal Crousore met with IHSAA officials March 28, along with his athletic director and girls’ basketball coach. He refused to comment about the meeting.

At a pep rally before the

next game, the state final, BNL Principal Roger Dean reminded students to be “culturally sensitive.” But BNL administrators did not hold any meetings with the students in gorilla suits. There has been no school-wide conversation about racial sensitivity.

BNL students say this investigation won’t stop their tradition of wearing extravagant costumes for basketball games. But they suspect the school might start regulating the costumes.

Jodie Key, the mother of one of the boys in the gorilla suits, said her son is not racist. He was taught to never judge people.

“It was a kids’ game that got turned into something else,” she said. “I think it was a good lesson for him to understand that not everybody thinks the same.”

Her son and his friend Lucas Howell, who also wore a gorilla suit, agree.

“It was my senior year and I was going to go all out,” Howell said. “I didn’t see it as a big deal.”

They were sore losers, he said of Lawrence North.

Kaegan Key said he has learned that even if he doesn’t mean to be racist, he could come across in a negative way. But he doesn’t think he crossed a line.

As long as his intentions are good, Key said, his behavior shouldn’t be an issue.

“They let that affect them too harshly,” Key said. “I’m not going to think I’m a racist. I came here to have a good time.”

If he could do it again, he said, he would probably still wear the gorilla suit.

Softball finishes season against Huskers

BY DAN MATNEY cdmatney@indiana.edu

With the regular season nearly complete, IU softball has one more Big Ten series before the postseason.

IU’s (17-35-1, 5-15) final series against No. 19 Nebraska (37-14, 15-5) this weekend is in Lincoln, Neb. The Huskers has won 11 of its last 12 games, including an 11-game win streak before a 6-4 loss Wednesday against Wisconsin.

IU Coach Michelle Gardner wants to see the team make noise before the conference tournament begins.

“I want a couple wins

from Nebraska,” Gardner said. “I know that we can do it and we have shown we can at times this year. We need to put together a complete game.”

That isn’t the only thing Gardner wants to see from the team in the final days of the regular season.

With the conference tournament beginning in Evanston, Ill., May 5, Gardner knows the team will have a lower seed. Regardless, she thinks the team has the potential to shake things up.

“This is a good ball club,” Gardner said. “We can do some serious damage in the

Big Ten Tournament if we can continue to work and put everything together.”

Nebraska has one of the best offensive attacks in the Big Ten. The team’s .303 batting average trails only Michigan and Northwestern for the best in the conference.

The Huskers’ lineup has produced 57 home runs, giving them an average of 1.06 home runs per game, tied for 27th in the nation.

Senior catcher Taylor Edwards has been a problem for opposing pitchers all season.

She has a batting average of .373 and her 16 home runs

are tied for the 12th-highest amount in the nation.

Senior shortstop Breanna Saucedo said IU’s pitching is going to be key during the weekend.

“Our pitchers have been doing really well lately,” Saucedo said. “If they keep it up we are going to be successful.”

Hitting isn’t the Huskers’ only strong point.

The team’s earned run average of 2.00 is not only the third lowest in the conference, it’s also the 25th lowest ERA in the nation.

Senior Tatum Edwards and sophomore Emily Lockman lead the pitching staff.

The two have a combined record of 37-13, an ERA of 1.98 and they have struck out 276 batters. Edwards alone has fanned 178.

They will be opposed by an IU offense that is averaging nearly six runs per game in the last five contests.

Saucedo’s .350 batting average and 16 steals continues to lead the team.

Saucedo thinks in order for the team to leave Lincoln, Neb., victorious, timely hitting is going to be important.

“They key is to keep hitting like we have been,” she said. “We need to put timely hits together to score runs.”

Junior center fielder Brianna Meyer has continued to be a threat to reach base.

She is currently on a 22game streak in which she has reached base at least once.

Meyer, who Gardner has praised in the past because of her patience at the plate, wants to see the offense stay disciplined and take advantage of opportunities with runners on base.

“We need to come out strong like we have been doing,” Meyer said. “I think, especially against Iowa, the offense has been doing really well. We need to string together good hits.”

Fettig to play at Players Pub

BY CHRISTIAN KEMP cjkemp@indiana.edu

Player’s Pub will prepare for a night of diverse musicianship, both local and traveling, on Friday.

Rick Fettig will perform for free during the Dew Drop Inn Happy Hour, which begins at 5 p.m.

Country vocalist and songwriter Sheila Stephen will perform at 8 p.m., and the cover charge is $5.

The final show of the night starts at midnight, and cover charge is $3. The band playing, DELTAnine, is traveling from its hometown of Kenosha, Wis. DELTAnine identifies as an electronica, funksoul-styled band.

Fettig takes his music on the road, traveling to nearby towns like Nashville, Ind., but Player’s Pub is his primary venue.

Fettig’s songs tend to be obscure covers of country bands that sing about the unpretentious people who live and toil in the world. “Last year, WFHB celebrated their 20th anniversary, and in January they brought in Jim Hightower,� Fettig said. “And I and my violin player opened up for him, and Jim called it the ‘songs of the people.’�

In addition to his musical hobby, Fettig helps maintain

buildings around Player’s Pub. Fettig’s next show is with the band called The Ricci’s, which will take place May 11.

Stephen, who integrates classic rock with her traditional country style, has had her current band for two years. However, she has been performing since she was 13 years old, having been influenced by her father to pursue her musical talents. “My show is about energy, but I am only a vocalist,� she said. “The musicians I have behind me, we just have a lot of passion. We are all older, but I don’t think you’d know that by watching us.�

Stephen has performed as an opening act for many top-name country musicians.

A few she named included Waylon Jennings and George Straight. “Over the 30-plus years of having my own band, I have had the fortune to work with some of the greatest country artists,� Stephen said.

As local musicians, Fettig and Stephen agree that Player’s Pub is a Bloomington destination for ingenious music demonstrations. Stephen said Player’s Pub gives musicians who may not be from the same musical backgrounds the opportunity to communicate and bond. “Joe has bumped it up a

In the past five weeks, sophomore Jo Fipps has been traveling to dining halls all over campus, suprising many students by standing up and singing covers of songs.

Fipps will perform his final show of the school year for his “For the People Tour� at 12:30 p.m. Friday at Wright Food Court.

He started his tour at Wright Food Court and since then has performed at Gresham Food Court, The Restaurants at Woodland, Edmondson Dining Room and the Hoosier Cafe & Store at McNutt.

Fipps’ main goal with the tour is to spread happiness

and lighten the mood for students who are under pressure with finals and the end of the semester, he said. The event is sponsored by student-run website designer and video production company Mills Digital. “College is a place where you can do anything you want in order to find your favorite outlet,� Fipps said. “This would be a nice way to have a little spontaneity in their life, to laugh for a couple minutes while a crazy person sings in the dining hall.�

Throughout the weeks he has been touring, Fipps went from singing a cappella to slowly collaborating with other students by incorporating instruments with his performances.

In Stephen’s opinion, Player’s Pub has given many musicians the chance to express themselves, where other venues may sometimes be too restrictive, seeking genres for niche crowds.

“The Player’s Pub is one of Bloomington’s best-kept secrets,� Stephen said. “You just feel so warm as an artist and as a performer when you go in there because they are really supporting your craft, and they really support local music.�

on a motorcycle together.

Rogen, Franco and West quickly realized that the performance “would have been awkward,� Rogen said on “The Ellen Degeneres Show� May 1.

He plans on having a live band for his finale, featuring students playing a violin, bass, synthesizer and drums.

As a group, they will be performing a cover of “Party in the USA� in the middle of Wright Food Court.

Jacobs School of Music student Jasmine Scott, a friend of Fipps, has attended each of his weekly performances. She was asked to join him when he was interested in expanding his tour acts. “It’s been an awesome experience just getting to do something fun and putting smiles on everyone’s faces alongside Jo,� Scott said.

With the word spreading about his tour around campus, Fipps has been receiv-

ing more promotion with his Facebook and YouTube accounts, “Ernie Jo Official.� “It’s been up and down with each of the venues I’ve been at with the structure of the dining halls,� Fipps said. “It was rough getting people engaged the first week, but throughout the weeks people have been beginning to enjoy it by laughing and singing along.�

Fipps is planning on doing another tour next spring titled “No Compromises.� “I think Jo’s contribution to IU with this tour is completely awesome,� Scott said. “I love watching him unexpectedly serenade strangers in food courts. It makes me laugh and I know it makes others laugh as well.�

As hundreds of college students caravanned down to Florida, one group of Ivy Tech-Bloomington students boarded a plane to Guatemala this past spring break.

It was there they learned about fair trade and worked to build new facilities for Guatemalan coffee farmers.

Their journey was documented by Ivy Tech-Bloomington faculty member Chelsea Rood-Emmick, who took photographs of the students throughout the trip.

These photos make up one of the four new exhibits opening Friday at the Ivy Tech John Waldron Arts Center, with an opening reception from 5-8 p.m.

The exhibit shows 21 different photographs accompanied with quotes written by the students in journals while they were in Guatemala.

The photos depict the international experiences of the students, the students’ construction of the buildings on the farms and the process of growing and selling coffee.

The students also constructed a coffee storage building and repaired a farmer’s house, where about 25 people and 200 chickens were living, Crood-Emmick said.

The photos in the exhibit offer the students and faculty a way to show off a great program from Ivy Tech, CroodEmmick said. “Ours is a unique program because it’s scholarship-based,� she said. “This is a learning opportunity these students wouldn’t have otherwise. Most of them have never traveled or done service trips.�

The second exhibit opening Friday is a showcase of 22 different artists who are part of Bloomington potter’s guild Local Clay.

Guild member Susan Snyder is showing two different pieces.

One piece is a tile-frame

mirror, which is a project Snyder said she has never completed before.

Creating the piece involved hand-painting 16 tiles to place around a two-foot mirror.

Snyder uses a process called Maiolica, which she learned in Italy.

The third exhibit also features international experiences through the work of two sisters, Deborah and Abby Gitlitz.

The show is a dual exhibit focusing on food. Deborah is exhibiting her photographs of food from Mexico, India and the United States. “Those are cultures that have these outdoor markets where food is on display,�

Abby said. “It’s a feast for the eyes and just something we don’t do here.�

Abby is a glass blower who focused her work on food-related cake stands, fake food and other random objects.

The glass is created with bright, vibrant colors that offer a sense of whimsy, Abby said.

The sisters’ use of bright colors comes from the time they spent in Central America as young girls. “In Central America, more colors is a good thing,�

Abby said. “That has definitely influenced my color pallet.�

The food theme came from the enticing quality of food that has always attracted the artist, Abby said. “There’s something about food that is exciting,� Abby said. “It’s unlimited. It can be beautiful, it can be crazy, it can be disgusting, it can be everything in between.�

The eight pieces of blown glass and the 15 photographs serve as the sisters’ first joint show together. “I hope that it brings people joy,� Abby said. “I want people to think about it and let their own imaginations run wild.�

The fourth exhibit shows the recent works of artist Nakima Ollin. Each exhibit will remain open until May 31.

QUE SARAH SARAH

EDDIE OF INDIANA

Pregnant and prosecuted

IU can act or it can falter EDUARDO SALAS is a junior majoring in public policy.

SARAH KISSEL is a freshman majoring in political science.

Spoiler alert: Republicans are still trying to dictate the choices women make about their bodies in all the leastproductive ways.

On Tuesday, Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam (R) signed into law a bill that authorizes the arrest and incarceration of women who use drugs while pregnant, despite strong opposition and encouragement to veto from reproductive and civil rights advocates.

When the law goes into effect July 1 of this year, it will allow a woman to be prosecuted for assault, a misdemeanor, if she takes a narcotic while pregnant and the child is born harmed or addicted or perishes as a result. These women can avoid criminal charges, however, if they complete a treatment program offered by the state.

This bill, flawed in countless ways, is primarily counterproductive: it will directly harm the unborn children it seeks to protect. Rather than discouraging women to use narcotics while pregnant, it will discourage those already addicted from seeking prenatal care for fear of prosecution.

The state of Tennessee is ranked ninth in the nation for instances of teen pregnancy, and a study conducted by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration found more than half of the teenaged women admitted for prenatal care had reported drug use within the last month.

Instead of incarcerating moms-to-be when they seek medical support and heedlessly exacerbating the issue — the law makes no mention of treatment being offered while prosecuted women are behind bars — Tennessee should be directing those funds to making a host of resources more readily available, including comprehensive information on the consequences of drug use on oneself and one’s developing fetus.

This new law does not in any way assist low-income mothers — another high-risk group for drug use — who might be unable to take time away from their jobs or families or both to seek treatment.

Only two of Tennessee’s 177 addiction treatment facilities provide prenatal care and allow mothers to bring older children with them to appointments.

There’s also a distinctly racist tint to the bill’s condemnation of narcotics, which was pointed out by the Drug Policy Alliance: “The bill unfairly targets poor women and women of color by singling out street drugs in lieu of more common drugs, like alcohol or prescription pills.”

Based on the bill’s unequal condemnation of substances and demographics alike and the total absence of any semblance of framework to actually help women who are pregnant and addicted, it’s clear that little dedicated thought or research contributed to its authorship.

Also clearly evident is Haslam’s intent to enact characteristically “conservative” legislation that will superficially please constituents but which epically fails to assist — in fact, actively antagonizes — struggling women in his state.

It’s no wonder this law is the first of its kind in the nation. It is ill-informed, uneven in its targets, counterproductive and racist. Based on the vocal, passionate opposition, it is my sincere hope that Haslam will develop a true sensitivity to the needs of expecting mothers in his state and repeal the law immediately. sbkissel@indiana.edu @QueSarahSarah_

ILLUSTRATION BY ALDEA SULLIVAN

Bro, walk a mile in these Louboutins WE SAY: Head over heels for these greeks Last week, the men of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon chapter at Gettysburg College each donned a pair of tall high heels before going out. No, it wasn’t for a dare or a tasteless party — instead, it was part of an effort to raise awareness about sexual assault on campus.

Clad in red and orange pumps and stilettos, the group of more than 100 men embarked on Walk a Mile, an event to spread vital information about the statistics concerning rape and harassment women face in college.

As the student-led Walk a Mile reminds us, an average of one in five women across America will experience the terror and trauma of sexual assault by the time they have graduated. Even IU is not immune to this threat, as demonstrated by

the frequent reports of rape printed by the Indiana Daily Student and the knowledge that many rapes go unreported.

So the fact that a fraternity has taken an active stand against sexual assault in such a bold manner is fantastic news. Though it surely raised some eyebrows, we say, “Keep it up, boys.” The Editorial Board believes it is incredibly refreshing to see such a proactive, supportive stance taken by a fraternity.

Our campus could definitely benefit from something similar.

Though many schools, including IU, support similar assault awareness events such as SlutWalk, their inclusion of more malefocused events like Walk a Mile would be especially important as they have the possibility to reach an even

broader audience. By encouraging IU’s fraternities to participate in a hands-on learning experience rather than a “don’t rape” lecture, the message behind sexual assault awareness might garner less eyerolls and actually stick.

Males encouraging sexual assault awareness in such a way is also beneficial because it highlights the dichotomous way in which we view it. In American culture, heterosexual rape is sometimes regarded merely as a “feminist” or a “woman’s” issue, while male-male rape is scoffed at or ridiculed.

Both of these issues are entirely problematic, as sexual assault is everyone’s problem, and it is never something to be taken lightly. The Editorial Board believes encouragement of male organization and par-

ticipation in events such as Walk a Mile will dispel the harmful idea that rape is a predominantly female concern and that we must work together in order to make our communities aware and safe.

Though watching grown men try to hold their composure while traveling in heels for the first time is admittedly hilarious, it serves as a sobering reminder of the realities many women face right here on our campus.

After SAE’s roaring success with the Walk a Mile march, maybe we’ll see some of our own fraternity brothers careening down the sidewalks of Third Street in a pair of strappy slingbacks next spring. opinion@idsnews.com @ids_opinion

MARISSA EXPLAINS ALL

Living with ADHD, Adderall-free Saturday, May 10, I’ll be graduating — with honors, with severe ADHD and completely Adderall-free.

I no longer pop the oblong orange capsules in my tired mouth every morning or even the little blue ones in between yawns for extra coverage in the evenings.

No, for the past four years, I have abandoned the drugs that made my life functional and my presence bearable to others during my days of primary education.

That decision has turned out to be one of the most rewarding challenges I’ve ever taken on in my life.

As a child, I was restless, overeager and, to put it mildly, odd. I preferred to roughly play “dragons” and dig hibernating cicadas out of the sandbox with my bare hands than skip rope with my peers.

I read Tamora Pierce novels under the table during class, disruptively squirmed and shouted out answers and opinions, failed my tests and left my desk in constant disorder.

Before taking me to a psychiatrist, my parents even tried experimental treatment

for my abundant energy — a weird method that involved literally brushing me like an overexcited dog on a Cesar Millan show.

By the time I was in fourth grade, I was diagnosed with ADHD and heavily medicated with Adderall, taking 30 milligrams in the morning and 10 milligrams after school.

Slowly, but surely, my behavior improved with regular doses.

I was able to focus, to control my urges, to engage in calm pleasantries and not wreak havoc on my teachers’ existences.

Though my grades also improved, it was only because I was now able to actually finish the tests I took, rather than getting distracted by one question and running completely out of time.

In college, however, I swiftly realized the drug I had come to depend on was one with a serious stigma.

I came to this harsh awareness on the day that my freshman roommate stole my entire prescription bottle — almost a month’s worth — and sold it among her friends to study for finals.

When I confronted her, she said it “didn’t matter” because I “didn’t really need them, and if everyone took performance enhancers like (me), they’d also get good grades.”

As someone who takes her studies very seriously, hearing my successful schoolwork attributed merely to my having the privilege of taking the equivalent of mental steroids seriously shook me up.

So I quit.

Everything immediately became much harder: classes dragged, getting out of bed was impossible and my mind now worked at 1,000 miles a minute, making distraction inevitable.

However, after my professors in the English department started expressing academic interest in me outside of the classroom, I gained confidence in my abilities, and my motivation superseded most difficulties my ADHD created for me.

I’m not going to say the journey to this moment hasn’t been insanely difficult at times. My brain still works too fast. I constantly get distracted. I have to actively

stop myself from yelling things out in class or acting otherwise disruptively. But knowing that I can still write an honors thesis while battling my shortcomings daily gives me an immense sense of pride.

I can’t say I won’t ever be reevaluated for a prescription, as I truly do believe that my mind and body function optimally when medicated.

What is more important to me, however, is changing the ways in which we thoughtlessly and mistakenly label medicated ADHD sufferers.

Adderall doesn’t generate pure motivation or higher intelligence in anyone who takes it — those qualities are determined by our own efforts and attributes.

All we can do is be understanding and actually give our classes the old college try. mcaranna@indiana.edu @Marissa_Caranna

The opinions expressed by the editorial board do not necessarily represent the opinions of the IDS news staff, student body, faculty or staff members or the Board of Trustees. The editorial board comprises columnists contributing to the Opinion page and the Opinion editors.

The Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights took a bold step Wednesday — in keeping with the White House’s push for more transparency when it comes to sexual assaults on campus — by releasing a list of universities under investigation for possible Title IX violations because of the handling of sexual violence and harassment complaints.

IU currently finds itself on that list.

Vice President Joe Biden told men everywhere to step up Tuesday at the official unveiling of the report and recommendations by the White House Task Force to Protect Students from Sexual Assault.

“We’ve got to change this vast middle of the male population to say, ‘You have an affirmative obligation to intervene,’” Biden said.

While we should continue to target men and emphasize the importance of bystander intervention, there’s another actor on campus whom the task force believes must make changes if we are to seriously tackle the issue of sexual assault — the universities.

A long list of colleges have found themselves in the news for the mishandling of sexual assault cases or completely covering them up.

Public colleges and universities are institutions we trust with our well-being, our futures and who we’ve come — or at least want — to believe are looking out for our best interest.

Yet the fact that colleges are actively being investigated for breaching that trust is frightening.

What’s even more horrifying is the possibility that universities continue to fail survivors of sexual assault.

This semester, two courageous women shared their powerful stories on the pages of this section regarding their sexual assaults.

Both were sobering reminders of the human toll of failing to prevent rape and the fact that sexual assault does, in fact, happen on our campus much more often than we would like to believe.

Even if IU’s place among the list of colleges being investigated is purely procedural, it doesn’t mean IU should be complacent in taking extra steps to address an issue that clearly exists on our campus.

What matters is whether the University chooses to move forward now that the White House task force has released its findings and its recommendations — many of which fall on the laps of administrators to put into place.

The most tangible of these recommendations, which IU could easily institute, are campus-wide anonymous surveys designed to give colleges a better picture of the number of sexual assaults that occur versus the few that are actually reported.

The other primary recommendation from the task force IU could implement is increasing transparency.

One of the ways for IU to do exactly that would be by moving forward with the Indiana Daily Student Editorial Board’s call for the Office of Student Ethics to disclose whether sexual assaults have occurred in greek houses.

In an online poll on the IDS website, 87 percent of respondents said they believe the student ethics office should do so, in comparison to 7 percent who would oppose the change.

IU has the tools to make a change and join this renewed push against sexual assault. It’s only a matter of whether the administration is willing to do so. edsalas@indiana.edu

Hoosiers have one more shot for postseason

Mills seeks Big Ten victory

BY CASEY KRAJEWSKI crkrajew@indiana.edu

David Mills is not done with collegiate golf yet.

The senior will compete in his final Big Ten Championship this weekend, where he hopes to win the tournament that has intrigued him his whole career at IU. Mills has competed in every tournament since first arriving on campus in 2010, an accomplishment few players under IU Coach Mike Mayer have done. But Mills’ Hoosier golfing experience started long before that.

Ranked the top Indiana junior golfer in his class, Mills was on Mayer’s radar before even starting high school.

“I went to a camp in Bloomington as a little kid and that’s where we first met,” Mills said. “He really started recruiting me in eighth grade when I would play tournaments at the course here all the time.”

Mayer said the reason he was drawn to Mills was his passion for the game.

“There was something different about him than most recruits,” Mayer said. “I could just sense and tell that he wanted to play. I can’t sense that in everybody but I sure sensed it very early on in David Mills.”

When the time to make a college decision came, Mills said he knew IU was the place for him. He had seen what Mayer did with IU golf legend Jeff Overton, who went to the same high school as Mills.

Mills viewed IU as a place he could further develop his golf game.

He marched through his freshman year with the second-lowest freshman scoring average in school history.

“After David’s freshman year I knew I had somebody who was determined, passionate and talented,” Mayer said. “I had somebody who wanted to do it all.”

However, when it came time for his first Big Ten Championship, Mills struggled. A strong finish of 73 was

too late to recover from opening rounds of 78-80-80.

IU finished fifth.

But Mills was still young, and the team was returning its top five players the next year.

Another successful season saw Mills lower his scoring average and post five top-10 finishes.

It was once again time for the Big Ten Championship, and the Hoosiers were ready.

The tournament would be at the French Lick Resort’s Pete Dye Course, a course Mills was familiar with.

After three rounds, the Hoosiers were seven strokes back of tournament leader Illinois. IU then shot the lowest round of the tournament by any team.

But, it wasn’t enough. Illinois held off the Hoosiers and won by three strokes.

“We nearly pulled off a miraculous comeback,” Mayer said.

Mills finished fourth. And at one point, IU was up by four shots, only to see the lead slip away.

“It was heartbreaking,” Mills said. “To come up just a little bit short is hard, but it was a huge team effort. I felt like that was a point in time where I played my best though, and I really enjoyed it.”

Mills was named First Team All-Big Ten after that season, and his finish in the conference championship earned him a place on the AllChampionship Team.

Heading into Mills’ junior year, expectations were high for the now-seasoned golfer.

Mills still played in every tournament for the Hoosiers, but he took a step back in scoring average over the course of the season.

When it came time to return to French Lick for the Big Ten Championship, Mills was eager to succeed.

Mills shot consistent rounds of 74-74-74-73 (295) to lead the team and tie for eighth individually.

But it still wasn’t enough.

IU’s supporting cast just wasn’t strong enough to keep

up with the Big Ten leaders, and they finished in a tie for fourth.

When his senior season began, Mills said he saw himself as a leader of an inexperienced Hoosier team. Entering the year, he had played more collegiate rounds than the rest of the team combined.

But Mills learned just because the team hadn’t proved itself, didn’t mean the players needed his guidance.

“I just don’t think they need too much leadership,” Mills said. “They all know what they’re doing out there and don’t need a kick in the butt too often.”

Each golfer on the team has shown the ability to shoot low rounds, just not together.

When freshman Andrew Havill tied for seventh at the Snowman Getaway in February, the rest of the team struggled.

The same goes for freshman Will Seger at the Boilermaker Invitational two weekends ago. While he tied for 11th, three other IU golfers

finished ranked in the fifties or worse individually.

“That’s something we’ve definitely been lacking this season,” Seger said. “I think we’ll be ready this time, and we can count on all five guys instead of just two or three.”

During the Big Ten tournament this weekend, the Hoosiers have more at stake this time as well.

“As it is right now, we’re not going to make regionals unless we win this tournament,” Seger said. “So our goal is definitely to win the tournament.”

Mills has proven he’s capable of excelling in the Big Ten Tournament, and he’ll be asked to do that one more time this weekend.

“For David to have the kind of career he’s had is already a hell of an accomplishment,” Mayer said. “This weekend, we need him one more time. And I think he can do it. He likes the golf course, he believes in the golf course. I think he can win this championship.”

The IU men’s golf team is in a win-or-go-home situation this weekend, as the Hoosiers compete in the Big Ten Championship at the Pete Dye Course at French Lick Resort in French Lick, Ind. The Hoosiers did not post a strong enough regular season to qualify for regionals and will have to win their conference championship to earn a postseason berth.

“As it stands right now, we’re not going to make regionals unless we go out and win this tournament,” freshman Will Seger said. “So that’s our expectation, that’s our goal.”

The four-round tournament will feature each of the Big Ten teams competing at the Pete Dye Course May 2-4.

Senior David Mills will spearhead the attack as the only Hoosier with Big Ten Championship experience.

The other four golfers in the lineup are sophomore Max Kollin, Seger, junior Nicholas Grubnich and senior Hugo Menendez.

Mills has historically played well at both the French Lick Resort course and in the Big Ten Championship. He finished individually in the top 10 the last two years, fourth in 2012 and tied for eighth in 2013.

“This golf course fits him,” IU Coach Mike Mayer said. “He needs to focus every shot of the tournament, which is easy to say, but hard to do. If he can keep that gas pedal pushed down, I think he can win this championship.”

Kollin and Seger have been two of the more consistent golfers on the team all year.

The biggest surprise in

the lineup is Menendez, who has only played in the Hoosier starting five once, at Northern Intercollegiate, but has improved steadily during the course of the year.

Mayer said he believes Menendez’s experience will pay dividends for the Hoosiers at the Big Ten Championships.

“Hugo is a senior and has a lot of experience,” Mayer said. “He’s been on the cusp this year and did really well in the first couple rounds of a couple different tournaments. He might give us a round we don’t like, but he also has the ability to give us that spark we may need.”

Mayer and Seger said the two biggest obstacles the team has faced all year have been the lack of a low score to carry the team and a strong fourth score to keep the numbers consistent.

“Two things we’ve been missing this year is we’ve been missing a fourth scorer, and we haven’t really had a real low round that we’ve been able to count on,” Seger said. “But, I think everybody will be ready for this tournament and we’ll be able to count on all five guys instead of just two or three.”

The Hoosiers have historically been successful the past two years at the course, finishing second in 2012 and tied for fourth in 2013.

But the Hoosiers enter this tournament as heavy underdogs in a strong Big Ten conference.

“To beat all these good teams at the same time may take a herculean effort, but we’ll see if we have that effort in us,” Mayer said.

“We’re in a situation where we don’t have much to lose right now so hopefully we can free-wheel a little and have some fun.”

The Stone Age Institute Program in Human Evolution 2014 Lecture Series presents

“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.
