Indiana funds sexual assault study

BY KATE STARR kastarr@indiana.edu

The state recently allocated $65,000 to fund a study this summer that will investigate why Indiana has such a high rate of teen sexual assault, but the study may also shed light on sexual assault crimes happening in Bloomington.

Eighty-five percent of rape victims are under the age of 30, and 44 percent of those are under the age of 18, said Cierra Olivia Thomas-Williams, prevention programs coordinator at the Bloomington Middle Way House.

“Indiana is second highest in the nation for rape among teenage girls, so we’re really suffering here,” Thomas-Williams said.

The researchers at IUPUI’s Global Health Communication Center will focus on teenagers younger than 18 in the study. Thomas-Williams said preventing early sexual abuse might reduce the rate of future abuse.

“A large percentage of the people who do come through our shelter have experienced child sexual abuse,” Thomas-Williams said. “Many of the crimes that happen get connected to other terrible outcomes later.”

For every rape, the percentage of revictimization goes up close to 9 percent and close to 50 percent after that because rapists target SEE STUDY, PAGE 10

For the past 30 years, Patricia Marvin has taught at Tri-North Middle School. She will retire from teaching this year in order to spend more time with her family, after teaching for 41 years.

The last chapter After 41 years of service, Patricia Marvin is retiring from teaching

BY AARICKA WASHINGTON aadwash@indiana.edu

After her 44-minute long preparation period, Mrs. Marvin walks outside her classroom at the end of the hall and watches the flood of students pass by.

One thing is always on her mind as she stands by her door.

“I think about what kind of day the students are having,” Mrs. Marvin says.

Right before the bell rings for third period, the students perform a ritual.

One by one, and sometimes two by two, they file into the classroom, pick up notebooks, slide into seats, place jumbosized binders on top of their desks and prepare to learn.

Once the bell beckons, a petite blonde woman with glasses at the tip of her nose walks from outside her classroom door and steps into what has been her arena, her niche, her warzone for the past 41 years — the classroom.

Studies show the transition from sixth grade to middle school can be the toughest one a child faces, but Patricia Marvin is an expert at handling the distracted, puberty-stricken, disorganized children.

She’s been teaching English to seventh and eighth graders at Tri-North Middle School since some of her students’ parents were their age.

This year, Mrs. Marvin is one of 41 teachers in the Monroe County Community School Corporation who are retiring.

She’s not worn out. As a matter of fact, 63-year-old Mrs. Marvin wouldn’t mind teaching a few more years.

But 41 years of teaching, including 30 years at Tri-North, is enough for her. She has four grandchildren, with two more on the way, and she wants to be able to spoil them with her husband while she’s still alive. Her parents weren’t granted that luck with her children.

Year after year, Mrs. Marvin has been on a seemingly eternal mission to prepare her middle school students for the dogeat-dog world that is high school, the next chapter of their life.

When Mrs. Marvin was in seventh grade, she studied ballet under worldrenowned professional ballet dancers like Andre Eglevsky. She was well on her way to becoming a professional ballet dancer in New York. She danced at the Joffrey Ballet dance company.

Her dreams to live out her passion for dancing came to a halt after a sudden injury the summer following her high school graduation.

The doctor told her it would take at least three years for her to heal. At 18 years old, Mrs. Marvin realized she would be missing out on the most crucial time for a professional dancer.

The Long Island native, who had moved with her parents to Lafayette between her freshman and sophomore year of high school, decided to stay in Lafayette and attend Purdue University.

While at Purdue, she taught ballet at the YMCA, worked for a horticulture professor and wrote for the Purdue Exponent for two years. She still did not know what she wanted to do after college.

Her mother encouraged her to get a

teaching degree, just in case.

“I said, ‘I don’t want to teach,’” Mrs. Marvin said. “My mother said, ‘Well, just do it for me.’ I said, ‘All right,’ so I got my education classes done and I student taught. I fell in love with it.”

After graduation, she taught high school in Monon, Ind., for four-and-ahalf years. She said it was the hardest period of her teaching career because the students were so far behind.

After teaching there and getting married to a teacher who taught fourth grade at the school, Mrs. Marvin taught at North Newton High School in Morocco, Ind., for two-and-a-half years. She then took a six-year break from teaching to take care of her four children at home before transitioning to Tri-North Middle School, where she has taught for 30 years.

“I got a job here teaching seventh and eighth grade thinking I’ll get a job in high school because I always thought I wanted to be a high school teacher,” Mrs. Marvin said. “I never wanted to leave middle school.” * * * On another day, in another seventhgrade class, the students are louder than usual, especially the boys. Mrs. Marvin said it was because of all the candy and sugar the students had during Easter.

As soon as the bell rings, one student shushes his peers and the room full of seventh graders gets a little quieter.

Chance the Rapper and Krewella will co-headline the 2014 Welcome Week concert Aug. 23, presented by Union Board, Residential Programs and Services and the IU Residence Halls Association.

“I think they both hit separate demographics, and they’ll really work great together,” Union Board Director of Live Entertainment Brett Bassock said. “They both really complement each other’s music.”

The concert will also include SoMo, the supporting act, with special guests Misterwives and Skizzy Mars.

When Bassock and former RHA President Clair Houterman began collaborating on the concert in February, one of their main goals was to target five different demographics, Bassock said.

Chance the Rapper is a hip-hop artist from Chicago.

His first full-length mixtape, “10 Day,” was released in February 2012. He released his second mixtape, “Acid Rap,” last April.

Since then, Chance the Rapper has collaborated with artists such as Justin Bieber and Childish Gambino, and he has played at some of the country’s largest music festivals like Coachella and Lollapalooza.

“Chance was at the top of our list,” Brett said. “I think his music speaks for itself.

Sam George got his inspiration at brunch.

For Clark Johnson, it was talking to an agriculture company in Mooresville, Ind. Both seniors enrolled in Kelley School of Business’s number one-ranked entrepreneurship class in the nation, Spine Sweat.

George brought up an idea he had for delivering male hygiene products.

He said he realized how often he ran out of hygiene products during college.

“I was walking around campus like a caveman,” he said.

He and fellow student Storm Anderson started the business, but that wasn’t

rapper. Chance is really making a name for himself right now.”

Joining Chance is Krewella, which released its debut album “Get Wet” in September 2013. The album debuted at number eight on the Billboard Top 200.

“They have become worldrenowned for their infectious live energy,” Bassock said in a release.

Rather than just a concert, this year the Welcome Week event will become a festival.

“This year, we are shifting toward the festival atmosphere with the IU Block Party 2014,” RHA President Stephanie Corona said.

Instead of just music, it will

include a bounce house, carnival games, a rock climbing wall, food trucks and more.

The event will go from 5 to 8 p.m. with re-entry, while the concert portion will last tentatively from 6 to 10 p.m. on the corner of 13th and Fee Lane.

“I wanted to make it an experience where students can come and in-between sets, they’re not just standing around waiting for the next artist,” Brett said. “I’m really just trying to encompass what Indiana University represents with a safe environment but providing a fun experience.”

Last year, tickets to the concert were free. Because of the expansion of the event, tickets will cost between $10

and $15 this year.

Union Board worked to book the talent, produce the concert and plan the carnival.

RHA will work to market the event throughout the summer, specifically to students at freshman orientation.

The concert is open to all IU-Bloomington students.

Bassock said Union Board is aiming for a crowd of 4,000 students, which would double last year’s attendance.

“It’s more of a memorable experience that their senior year these freshmen can look back and they can say, ‘That’s what introduced me to Indiana University,’” he said.

“That’s how I really became immersed.”

where George wanted to stop.

He wanted to present his idea to investors, too, so he enrolled in Spine Sweat.

Spine Sweat was founded

by Donald Kuratko, a professor of entrepreneurship at IU. He started the course 10 years ago, when he realized it was hard to teach entrepreneurship in the classroom.

The element of risk is not present in that setting, he said.

The name was Kuratko’s father’s idea.

“Unless a student goes to bed at night and feels their spine sweat, I’m not sure... they will even understand entrepreneurship,” he said.

Kuratko serves as an advisor for the students in the program, taught by Mark Long.

Amy Waggoner chose a seat in the corner of a small classroom. Shoulders straight, she sat inches away from the back of her wooden chair, using a second seat to prop up her leg. The other students in the room gave her the occasional glance but otherwise ignored her.

Waggoner, 47, has a bad spine, and while she doesn’t use any assistive aids, she can’t sit in most classroom chairs, and it’s still difficult to get around campus.

Waggoner, like many other disabled students, has trouble maneuvering IU’s campus due to its natural terrain and inaccessible buildings.

The day before classes start every semester, Waggoner gets to her classrooms early to scope out the chairs.

If there doesn’t appear to be a chair she can use, she calls Disability Student Services, who contacts building maintenance to arrange for adequate seating accommodations for her when school starts.

This process, however, can take up to two weeks.

“You’re very alienated,” Waggoner said. “If you factor in the mobility issues and the fact that you have to be very proactive and assertive about what your needs are, and then you have to have a very thick skin.”

Waggoner said it’s difficult to get around campus and enter buildings, citing the Herman B Wells library as one of the hardest buildings to access via ramps.

“The door you go in and the path you take is three times as long as if you were able to just go right up the steps,” Waggoner said. “It’s as if when they’re putting these entrances in, there’s almost an underlying ‘Well, at least we provided them with a way in’ instead of being proactive and thinking, ‘Let’s provide them the fastest way in.’”

It’s hard to make IU accessible for students who are disabled, DSS Director Shirley Stumper said.

The University tries its best with wide sidewalks and plenty of ramps, but its old buildings and natural geography pose obstacles for physically disabled students, she said.

“You can’t change the grade of a hill,” she said.

The Americans with

Disabilities Act was passed in 1990 and prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability. It also provides a set of standards on accessibility.

According to the ADA, an incline should rise a maximum of one inch for every 12 inches.

“Think about that as you walk around campus,” Stumper said. “You walk around campus and you know that almost every place there’s something steeper than that.”

The hill from the NealMarshall Black Culture Center to the Herman B Wells library, for instance, has an incline far greater than one inch per every foot, Stumper said. That makes it difficult for a student in a wheelchair or someone with a walker to make it to the library.

“That’s why we provide van transportation,” Stumper said.

However, the van is used solely for academic purposes, Stumper said.

“For a person with a disability, it’s part of their life to figure out how to negotiate the natural terrain,” she said.

“So we try to even that out as much as possible, if it’s realistic to do that.”

Waggoner, who came to IU for her undergraduate studies in 2008, is currently a doctoral student in the European Studies program.

She had been out of school for 20 years but came back to pursue an undergraduate degree in English.

“You just get exhausted mentally trying to figure out the maze of how to get into a building, and then you get mad that you have to take such long routes to get somewhere,” she said.

Kaleb Crain, who is majoring in educational science, came to IU because of its top-notch education school. He stayed despite the difficult terrain and seemingly thoughtless architecture that are part of his daily life — they are a struggle for someone in a wheelchair, like him.

“There are plenty of times I have to go a longer, more inconvenient way than your average able-bodied student,” Crain said. “There are even times when it’s frustrating when steps were put in where they could clearly make it a ramp and fit it for universal design.”

Crain said he may not SEE ACCESSIBILITY, PAGE 10

Power players

The age of change started with McRobbie, but these people are helping implement his vision.

Michael Mcrobbie IU president

Since 2007, McRobbie has overseen the consolidation, transformation or creation of seven schools within the University. In addition, he’s increased private, big-name donations, improved information technology and cyberinfrastructure and helped lead IU through the economic turmoil of the recession.

He’s previously served as interim provost and executive vice president as well as vice president for research at IU. Lauren Robel Provost and executive VP

IU President Michael McRobbie has been compared to legendary 11th president Herman B Wells because of his prolific changes to the University. But some students, faculty and staff question whether McRobbie’s transformations are innovative or have cut at the heart of IU along the way.

AGE OF CHANGE IDS INVESTIGATES

PRESIDENT MCROBBIE AND THE NEW IU The University is in the midst of one of the most transformative eras in its history. Behind it all is a controversial agenda that’s been called innovative by some and left others wondering — what’s the point?

KATIE METTLER | kemettle@indiana.edu | @kemettler

IU President Michael McRobbie is aware of the shoes he has to fill. He’s surrounded by reminders — the bust of Herman B Wells in his conference room and the library that bears the legendary president’s name. But some say McRobbie has already filled them.

“We are very blessed to have Dr. McRobbie,” Trustee Philip Eskew said during a Board of Trustees meeting in July 2011. “And I hail him as IU’s modernday Herman Wells.”

It’s difficult to compare anyone to Wells, who during his 30 years as president tripled student enrollment, expanded the University internationally, increased campus acreage from 137 to 1,700 and advocated for equal treatment of people of all races at IU. But arguably as prolific is the age of change McRobbie has implemented since he was hired in 2007.

In just seven years, McRobbie has overseen the transformation of seven schools within the University, led an acceleration in information technology and cyberinfrastructure and increased funding from big name donors to help pull IU from economic turmoil.

McRobbie takes full ownership for these changes.

“I think it all started with me,” he said, chuckling, during a recent, rare interview with the Indiana Daily Student.

It’s been an age of digitization, professionalization and consolidation brought on by two leading factors — state funding cuts and advancing technology.

But like all change, it could come at a price.

With the creation of new schools, the merging of existing ones and the elimination of others, some students, faculty and

staff are fearful that the traditions and community long associated with these units are being sacrificed in the name of efficiency.

“If you keep cutting, cutting and cutting,” said Associate Professor and Herman B Wells Historian James Capshew, “you’re going to cut the heart of campus.” * * * Before the whirlwind of structural changes at IU, the University’s academic units hadn’t seen change this drastic since the early 20th century.

Adam Herbert, the president before McRobbie, only served three years before stepping down from the position, following a period of disgruntlement from IU faculty.

His lack of visibility on campus and failure to collaborate with faculty, according to news reports at the time, gave them little confidence in his ability to lead IU. At the end of 2005, the faculty called upon the Board of Trustees to review Herbert’s job performance.

In January 2006, Herbert wrote a letter to the board expressing his wish to leave the University when his contract was set to expire in July 2008.

That meant IU had more than two years to find a new president, but many institutional leaders, including some trustees, felt they couldn’t wait that long.

“What was happening in the world was that the good universities were getting better,” current Board of Trustees Chairman Tom Reilly said, reflecting on the tensions back then. “We came to several conclusions, and one was that Bloomington needed leadership.”

SEE MCROBBIE, PAGE 4

When she was dean of the Maurer School of Law, Robel sat on the 2007 Presidential Selection Committee that appointed McRobbie.

In 2011, she rose to provost and was charged with implementing the changes suggested in the 2010 New Academic Directions report, which outlined the current structural transformation our campus. This year, her office released the Campus Strategic Plan.

Tom Reilly Chair, IU Board of Trustees

Chairman Reilly was appointed to the IU Board of Trustees by Governor Mitch Daniels in 2005. He served on the Presidential Selection Committee with Provost Robel and unconditionally supported hiring McRobbie as IU president.

At the time, he said the committee was sure of two things — higher education was evolving and IU needed a leader.

Before forming a presidential search committee, though, an administrative reorganization took place at the recommendation of Herbert. Just days after Herbert penned his letter to the trustees, McRobbie, then vice president for research and vice president for information technology, was named IU’s first interim provost.

The new position replaced IU-Bloomington’s chancellor position. Before that, IUBloomington had a chancellor who answered directly to the Bloomington-located president, just like all IU regional campuses across the state.

But it seemed unnecessary to have both the president of the University and a chancellor in Bloomington, Reilly said, so they cut the position at IU-Bloomington.

The provost’s job would be to oversee all academic entities at IU-Bloomington but allow the University president to have a stronger role in the flagship campus.

Once they filled the new provost position, a presidential search committee formed in June 2006.

Reilly and Lauren Robel, then dean of the Maurer School of Law, both served on the search committee and now hold prominent, powerful positions within IU. Reilly is chair of the Board of Trustees and Robel is provost and executive vice president.

In a recent interview, Reilly said the committee was looking for someone who was enthusiastic about collaborating with faculty, knowledgeable of the way technology was shaping education and prepared to take on the challenge of leading a 21st century public university.

“We were looking for somebody who had a demonstrated ability to conceptualize a major change effort and take it to completion,” Robel said.

They were looking for someone who would make change happen.

“Out of it came a general consensus that Michael would be the candidate,” Reilly said.

On March 1, 2007, the board unanimously appointed McRobbie as president, and on October 18, 2007, he offered his inaugural address.

He referenced the legendary changes Wells implemented as a precursor to his own vision for IU. “Indiana University’s history is a story of change in response to the demands of the time,” McRobbie said in his address. “Never was this more true than during the days of Herman Wells.”

McRobbie continued, saying Wells’ tenure at IU embodied a “golden age for American universities as a whole and for IU in particular,” but that Wells didn’t treat the University as a relic. Instead, he brought great energy and vigor to improving IU. “IU, then, is not an institution that is a stranger to change,” McRobbie said. “Its history is one of endurance, adaptation and renewal.”

His vision was forwardthinking and clear — change was coming.

Then, just six months later, the recession hit. * * * Despite nearly $100 million in state funding cuts and a 5-percent drop in philanthropic giving, McRobbie said his administration was able to pull IU from the economic turmoil without furloughing any employees or halting any important projects.

But, he said, that involved consolidation and reorganization across campus.

In his 2009-10 State of the University speech, McRobbie announced that then-Provost Karen Hanson would lead the formation of the New Academic Directions Committee charged with evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of IU’s academic structure.

The report was completed in 2011. In 2012, when current Provost Lauren Robel was appointed, the recommendations in the New Academic Directions report got fully underway. Today, those changes define IU’s current structure: • The creation of the Media School through merging the School of Journalism and the Departments of Telecommunications and Communication and Culture • Elimination of the School of Continuing Studies • Changing the School SEE MCROBBIE, PAGE 6

Implementing a new era How New Academic Directions is quickly reshaping academic structures of campus

BY MATTHEW GLOWICKI mglowick@indiana.edu @MattGlo AND SAMANTHA SCHMIDT schmisam@indiana.edu @schmidtsam7

A month into his doctoral studies, Martin Law learned his department would be merged.

Law was initially drawn to IU for his master’s degree because of its Department of Communication and Culture. Its reputation for collaborative research made it a perfect fit. He even decided to stay to earn his Ph.D. But soon after, he found out his program would change.

The reason was the creation of a new school, recommended by Provost and Executive Vice President Lauren Robel in February 2013. The Media School merger is one of several primary academic restructurings at IU in recent years, a time marked by immense change in the University.

The Media School will include the School of Journalism and the Department of Telecommunications, both of which will maintain most of their faculty and staff. The CMCL department will also be merged, but some parts will be left out.

One of the department’s three areas, Film and Media Studies, will be incorporated into the Media School. Only some faculty members of the other two areas of study — Performance and Ethnography and Rhetoric and Public Culture — will be joining the school. The rest will be dispersed.

For Law, it feels more like the program is being dissolved than merged, he says.

He came to IU expecting to collaborate with the three areas of the department to advance his research. Law will likely be able to take similar classes with the same faculty. But the classes won’t be held within a single department.

He sees opportunity in the Media School, but wonders what the merger might sacrifice for current students and faculty.

“What are you losing by melting these three departments down and turning them into something else?”

Law said. “Do we just cut off the stuff that hangs out?”

Seeking efficiency Within the last three years, IU has closed, created, renamed or merged seven schools.

The School of Continuing Studies shut its doors.

The School of Health, Physical Education and Recreation adjusted its mission to become the School of Public Health. The School of Library and Information Science folded into the School of Informatics and Computing.

Two new hybrid schools formed — the School of

The School of Global and International Studies is under construction near Wells Library.

At IUPUI, the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy and the Fairbanks School of Public Health were created.

Students on campus now will have seen more changes in IU-Bloomington’s academic structure than any previous generation.

These changes stem from the New Academic Directions report, commissioned

by IU President Michael McRobbie in 2010. Its goal was to re-examine the academic structures on campus to make sure they were efficiently living up to IU’s core missions.

“None of these mergers were made with fiscal goals.

They were more fiscal opportunities.”

Lauren Robel, Provost and Executive Vice President

The report is riddled with references to the dire economic conditions the University faced since the recession hit. But Robel said the driving force behind the report was academic restructuring, not cost-cutting.

“None of these mergers were made with fiscal goals, they were more fiscal opportunities,” Robel said.

She said there was a disconnect between what McRobbie commissioned and what the committee presented. McRobbie wanted a focus on academic and programmatic restructuring, but the committee returned its report with a greater focus on economic concerns.

The University, at least at this point, doesn’t know if its gamble on restructuring will save money in the long run.

As many of the structural and programmatic changes are new or still in development, exact savings — or

even costs — are nearly impossible to tell, said Munirpallam Venkataramanan, vice provost for strategic initiatives. And as budgets mesh and move across campus, comparing old budgets to new budgets is seldom apples to apples, he said.

There is a new need to increase efficiency, meaning using time, money and personnel more effectively, Venkataramanan said. It’s about doing more with the resources the University already has.

“The days when we don’t highly question education spending are behind us,” he said.

The mergers and new structures across campus illustrate the “efficiencies” New Academic Directions aimed to achieve. The report suggested new strategic structural innovations and the consolidation of administration in small academic units.

“When you have a small school you have the potential of diverting a great deal of resources away from the academic mission,” Robel said.

Robel further noted she does not expect a decrease in personnel who interact with students face to face.

Rather, efficiencies are coming in the form of “back office savings,” or reduction in personnel who don’t directly interact with students.

Attrition, or the practice of reducing personnel through retirements and resignations that are not replaced, will also help shrink schools as necessary.

While the overarching goals of the changes may be similar, each movement differs.

For the Media School, the merger is uprooting three well-established units. For the School of Continuing Studies, redundancies and outdated services were in need of restructuring. SGIS and the School of Public Health represented a shifting into 21st century needs and a desire to raise the profiles of each of those disciplines on campus. For the informatics merger, a struggling school was taken in by a stronger, larger unit.

These structural changes represent the opportunity for innovative change and the elimination of outdated or redundant services. At the same time, the changes have meant the redistribution of jobs and workloads, the separation from familiar colleagues and mentors or even the loss of an academic home.

School of Continuing Studies Only a few months after the presentation of the New Academics Directions report, the University began taking action. One of the first moves was the closure of the School of Continuing Studies, which enrolled 4,000 undergraduate students across the state. The school was IU’s resource for adult or distance learners hoping to earn a bachelor’s degree by mail or, in more recent years, online.

Of all the changes resulting from the New Academic Directions report, only this closure noticeably saved IU money.

When the closure was announced, University officials said they estimated saving as much as $4 million. After making final totals, the University ended up saving about $3.96 million, Executive Vice President for University Academic Affairs John Applegate said.

The School of Continuing Studies was rarely visible on IU’s campus. The school did not have its own faculty — its courses were usually taught online by part-time graduate students.

Jim Johnson, currently the director for operations and student support at IU High School, was a former associate director within the School of Continuing Studies.

“People at IU didn’t understand how SCS worked,” Johnson said. “It didn’t fit in on campus.”

It became common for IU departments across campus to offer online classes. The School of Continuing Studies was no longer a central place for online education, Applegate said, and administrators didn’t see a need

for it.

Human resources took the year that followed to help relocate jobs elsewhere on campus. Some of these employees moved to new positions in IU Online and other areas — positions the University would have needed to staff anyway, Applegate said.

But out of the 208 fulland part-time staff employed by the School of Continuing Studies before it merged, 56 employees no longer worked at IU the following year.

Some took advantage of early retirement. Others could not find different jobs.

“The trick there is not to redistribute people for the sake of redistributing,” Applegate said.

University officials still hoped to shrink the total number of people employed.

The closure eliminated the dean position for Dan Callison, who retired soon after, resulting in savings.

Students in the program were forced to either speed up their studies or transfer to other campuses. While most of the school’s degrees were moved into other schools, the online degree in Independent Studies was eliminated from IU-Bloomington.

A small niche of students took these self-paced online courses on a yearlong basis.

For some students, Johnson said, a semester-paced course is just too much to handle. The closure eliminated this option.

Applegate said these students are welcome to seek accommodations through other channels at IU. “They make compelling cases,” Applegate said, “but they aren’t compelling reasons to keep a school.”

School of Public Health Though not explicitly mentioned in the New Academic Directions report, the segueing of HPER into the School of Public Health was motivated by modern health education needs.

Bloomington Faculty Council President Herb Terry said there was a desperate need for a public health institution in SEE CHANGES, PAGE 6

Budget model pressures schools to compete

BY HANNAH ALANI halani@indiana.edu @hannahalani

A white piece of paper boasting bold, black numbers rests on professor Peter Guardino’s desk.

The numbers are not entirely relevant to his everyday work as chair of the Department of History. Yet, each time he sits at his desk, they are a daily reminder that things need to change.

The data Guardino and his colleagues have been tracking is staggering.

During the 2007-08 fall semester, 510 students enrolled in H105 and 499 students enrolled in H106, the department’s intro-level American history courses. In fall 2012, enrollments dropped to 214 students enrolled in H105 and 146 students in H106. The reason: more and more students are entering IU with their general education history requirements already completed.

Under the current budgetary model, individual schools compete for University resources based on their financial activity. This model is called Responsibility Centered Management and each IU-Bloomington school is its own “Responsibility Center,” or RC, led entrepreneurially by deans.

“In a situation where, under RCM, a large chunk of the budget is determined by how many tuition dollars you bring in, the College is losing significant enrollments to this,” Guardino said, explaining how declining general education enrollments shape departmental budgets.

RCM was implemented in 1990 for a University that gave individual schools autonomy.

This is how campus looked three years ago. Since then, campus has changed.

In the past three years, unprecedented structural and administrative changes have shifted the nature of RCM from a competitive to centralized model.

“Money” in a university is more than a dollar sign. Money pays for faculty, academic programs, student resources and, because of RCM, control of money means autonomy.

“We’ve lost about half of the enrollment of two of our most popular classes over a period of just a few years,” Guardino said. “We need students.”

Successful in theory

Responding to pressure

When IU-Bloomington adopted RCM, it was the first public institution to do so, said Provost and Executive Vice President Lauren Robel. Under this budget model, schools keep the money from student tuition and pay a small tax to the campus fund for shared resources, such as the libraries.

RCM gives deans of schools autonomy and forces them to be innovative when revenues go down.

College of Arts and Sciences Executive Dean Larry Singell said he likes RCM. “As a dean, I have no problem with it,” Singell said. “In places that don’t have RCM, there is more authority of the provost to allocate resources and cost-subsidies across schools. Our system does not permit that as easily.”

The autonomy provided by being its own RC is essential for the Jacobs School of Music, whose fiscal planning includes concert funding and small master classes, said Director of Finance and Fiscal Planning Jill Piedmont.

“Any school under RCM chooses how to structure classes and set their budget,” Piedmont said. “One of the benefits of RCM is that we have that control.”

RCM pits schools against each other in competition for students and credit hours. In doing so, RCM establishes individual incentive and hinders the ability for IUB to move strategically as a whole.

Robel’s recently released Campus Strategic Plan emphasizes this kind of collaboration. It strives to bring schools together for campuswide initiatives, crossing the existing RCM boundaries.

Singell noted it could shift autonomy toward the Provost’s office and away from the schools. But Robel said she has no intention of increasing central power through a higher tax on the schools.

“Power and authority of an office are related to financial wealth,” Singell said. “You have to trust the provost. I don’t have a concern about it.”

Robel said this year’s University tax rate is actually lower than it has been in past years.

“The Provost fund was put together to support and incentivize common good activity for the campus,” Robel said. “I don’t think that the Strategic Plan will cause RCM to become more centralized.”

Administrators have grappled with how to alleviate budgetary concerns for years.

Their solution was change.

“I don’t like small schools,” Robel said.

The resources required to staff these units with an administrative fleet of deans, financial planners, career advisors and other positions can divert resources away from core pieces of the academic mission, Robel said.

“I would rather put money into academic programs and people who deliver them rather than administrative officers,” she said.

This idea has motivated many of the changes to “small schools” in recent years: the closure of the School of Continuing Studies, the School Library and Information Science merger into the School of Informatics and Computing, the merger and creation of the Media School.

These changes mean budget models within the schools have to change, too.

Beginning in July, the College will technically include three deans of different academic programs — College Executive Dean Singell, School of Global and International Studies Dean Lee Feinstein and the future dean of the Media School. Three different “schools” still means three different sets of fiscal offices, even though they will all be under the College.

Because these mergers did not originate from, nor were they caused by, monetary concerns, the budgets of the Media School and SGIS are undetermined, Robel said.

It’s a work in progress to put a big school under the college, she added.

“SGIS has only been a school for a year and it is only now getting its curriculum and dean,” Robel said. “We have to be nimble, but we have to be nimble within the context of a 60,000-person institution.”

RCM needed these changes to support the College.

Until clear College budgets are devised for what used to be an RC and what is an entirely new program, the sub-deans’ autonomy relative to the authority of Singell is unclear.

Robel said she would like the University to oversee fiscal activity of SGIS and the Media School for the first few years.

RCM will respond to the structural changes in the same

Sophomore Alex Moore presents a song he composed for Professor Connie Cook Glen’s Music of War and Peace class on April 29 at the Jacobs School of Music. The general education class is an example how the music school can use the autonomy provided by RCM to choose where it allocates its money.

way it responded to the informatics merger: academics first, money second, said professor emeritus of mathematics Maynard Thompson. He was involved in the 1990 adoption of the RCM model.

“We’re in unknown domain here,” Thompson said.

“Let’s get it going first, then figure out with the deans of both schools exactly what fiscal structure makes sense.”

Is RCM outdated?

Each school allocates its budget to its own departments. The school can then support departments that don’t attract student tuition dollars with the surpluses that popular programs generate, Guardino said.

“There are fads in education,” Singell said. “Economics is becoming more popular so we’re seeing that department beginning to grow.”

Most of the sciences need expensive labs and equipment, and although they have good enrollments, they probably cannot pay for themselves, Guardino said.

“To be a top-notch university we have to have excellent departments in disciplines that could never pay for themselves that way,” Guardino said.

The College has not cut the history department’s budget because of decreased enrollments, Guardino said. But if he and his staff cannot figure out a way to fix the problem, they could have fewer resources in the future.

“We know that over the long term they won’t be able to

keep giving us what we need if we are unable to reverse, halt or at least slow down the decline in enrollments,” he said.

The music school is not having these problems, since music general education is popular right now. The music school will offer seven new general education courses this fall, Piedmont said.

This is an example of how RCM pushes schools to compete for students, who, in the financial sense, mean money.

The theory behind “general education” is losing steam.

Across campus, decreased general education enrollments due to Advanced Placement, Advanced College Project, community college and online education are just as much an educational concern as a financial one, Robel said.

Across campus, different people have tried to combat this trend in different ways.

Robel wants to attract the 18 to 20 percent of students who came in with 24 credit hours.

“We ought to be developing pathways that allow them to take advantage of the fact that, in theory, they could finish in three years,” Robel said.

The history department staff is attempting to alter existing classes so that are more attractive to students.

They launched a survey asking students what they are looking for in history classes, said history’s Director of Undergraduate Studies Deborah Deliyannis.

The department will attempt to increase professionalized course offerings, such as the existing “History

of Medicine” course, in an effort to attract non-majors, who Deliyannis said will benefit from liberal arts enrollments as much as the budget will.

“By studying humanism and history, you will become a better citizen,” she said.

Those majoring in history, however, should be concerned about losing their core majoronly 300-level classes to the 100 or 200-general education levels, Deliyannis said.

“It’s a paradox that we’ll be wrestling with all of next year,” she said.

“They told us that Gen Eds would be a good thing and that our enrollments would go up. Apparently they forgot about the part where AP, ACP and Ivy Tech transfers would come in.”

At the end of the day, it’s liberal arts versus professionalization. It’s a discussion on the nature of higher education. It’s the sweat of fixing financial planning and tax rates.

At the end of the day, the numbers lay on Guardino’s desk and on his shoulders.

“The College’s numbers affect RCM, so we’re very concerned,” Guardino said. “We’re having to find ways to attract students, which is something we’ve never had to do before.”

Guardino hopes the administration’s consolidation efforts and increased AP, ACP and Ivy Tech general education enrollments will encourage RCM to evolve to a slightly centralized “hybrid” system, with less focus on enrollments.

“You’re putting your budget making in the hands (of) people between the ages of 18 to 22,” Guardino said.

the state, and IU-Bloomington was the most appropriate university in the state to host such an institution.

The changes were largely internal and programmatic and placed an increased emphasis on health promotion and disease prevention.

Terry said he believes there was “substantial support” from the faculty in the move from HPER to the School of Public Health, which was finalized in late 2012.

Its restructuring also provided the University with the opportunity to access more federal research funding that is specifically earmarked for the study and education of public health issues.

of Library and Information Sciences into a department in the School of Informatics and Computing • Creation of the School of Global and International Studies • Creation of the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy at IUPUI • Creation of the Fairbanks School of Public Health at IUPUI A self-proclaimed “huge fan of aggregation,” McRobbie said he recognized the benefits of consolidating certain departments and eliminating others in the hopes of saving money.

At the same time, he wanted to be sure the academic institutions within IU reflected the technological developments and 21st century demands of the job market.

In his opinion, it would be “immoral” to allow IU students to graduate without the realworld skills necessary to perform professionally. McRobbie himself is a supporter of the arts and passionate about film, but said it’s a University’s job to produce both academics and professionals and do it in a cost-sensitive manner.

It’s why the board hired him in the first place — to identify inefficient spending within the University and adjust it.

But Capshew said there’s a fine line many public universities walk between being a business and being a place that supports creativity and the humanities.

“I do think there is a danger in trying to professionalize the humanities unduly,” he said.

For McRobbie, it’s a balancing act.

“Fiscal pressures aren’t going to go away,” he said, acknowledging that sometimes difficult decisions must be made in the short term to benefit the University in the long run.

He has his staff keep track of the promises he makes in speeches, to hold him accountable to his own agenda.

Less than five years after the New Academic Directions report was released, nearly all of the recommendations have come to fruition.

But Capshew says it’s still too early to tell whether McRobbie’s tenure as president will have as lasting an impact as Wells’.

“There will never be another Herman B Wells,” McRobbie says of his own legacy.

He just wants to leave IU 30 percent better off than when he took over. For now, the trustees have made it clear they are pleased with McRobbie’s performance, increasing his salary and extending his contract to 2020.

“You will never make an alum mad by not changing something. You will never upset a donor by leaving things exactly the way they are or a faculty member or a student, for that matter,” Robel said of McRobbie’s readiness to act. “It’s only change that will cause people to get upset.”

Those same student groups, faculty bodies and alumni boards are still waiting for answers — Are the changes working? How do we know?

Good question, Reilly said.

“The future will be the test,” Robel said.

It’s too early to tell, McRobbie said.

The informatics merger IU’s Graduate Library School was established in 1966 and later renamed the School of Library and Information Science. It has often ranked nationally as a top10 school in its field in recent years.

The school had the smallest budget on campus. Within the last few years, library science enrollment declined nationally and at IU. Coupled with the competition for students from the former School of Informatics, the School of Library and Information Science was struggling.

New Academic Directions directed the small school to fold into the School of Informatics by 2013. It became the Department of Information and Library Sciences within the renamed School of Informatics and Computing.

The two schools were like “siblings who grew up in different environments,” said Debora Shaw, dean of the former School of Library and Information Science and now the department chair.

The former school had about 12 faculty members, Robel said, many of which collaborated more closely with the School of Informatics than with library sciences.

It was clear the merger wouldn’t bring drastic savings like the closure of the School of Continuing Studies. The Department of Information and Library Science isn’t bringing in any profit for the new school — if anything, it’s costing the school money, informatics Dean Robert Schnabel said.

Student tuition fees brought in about $1 million less than budgeted for the department for the 201314 academic year. This put the department in the hole financially and caused it to use up some if its financial reserves, the school’s Senior Director for Finance and Administration John Tweedie said.

But the overall school is still financially healthy, thanks to steady enrollment in informatics programs and funds allocated by Robel.

The merger has also helped the school avoid future costs.

Library and information science students who never had a career development department can now use these resources from the merged school. The merger also helped create a new graduate certificate in data science. The informat-

ics school was able to avoid paying more to hire a Windows software professional it needed because the former School of Library and Information Sciences already had someone working in that position.

The merger may also lead to future savings. Shaw was demoted to chair of the Department of Information and Library Sciences within the informatics school.

Though her salary actually increased, it is likely her successor, after Shaw’s retirement this month, will be paid less, Vice Provost of Faculty and Academic Affairs Thomas Gieryn said.

In short, mergers may not be cutting salaries right away. But years from now, schools could end up saving money with lower administrative salaries.

Research also brings in money. With more collaboration and a larger faculty, the school sees the potential for increased research grant funding, Tweedie said.

Eliminating the word “library” in an IU school title was painful for some nostalgic current and former students. Alumni will no longer receive School of Library and Information Science newsletters. Many students are still attached to the culture of the former school. In December, the school’s first graduating class decided to wear traditional lemon-yellow hoods, a symbol for the School of Library and Information Science.

School of Global and International Studies The $53 million building under construction near the Herman B Wells Library is the physical embodiment of SGIS, though most of the academic programs and faculty resources it draws on already existed at IU. The New Academic Directions report called for the creation of an international school that would better connect the resources that existed at IU. Such a school, SGIS Associate Dean Maria BucurDeckard said, would raise the University’s international relations and foreign policy profile.

“It seemed like we had a lot of dots that we needed to connect,” Bucur said.

SGIS, approved by the trustees in August 2012, will incorporate teaching from more than 50 College units — including languages and cultural studies — and about eight other schools, including the Kelley School of Business and the School of Public and Environmental Affairs.

A new bachelor’s and master’s of science degree in Global Studies will be offered, and the combination of new and existing resources will create new academic pathways for students.

Despite optimism and a desire to create a new innovative school, students and faculty say it’s impossible to tell whether these academic mergers will be worth the time and effort.

Bucur added that while many departments will be housed within SGIS, they won’t structurally change that much. But she does foresee changes to academic and career advising, both areas in which the new hybrid school will employ its own personnel.

A desire to professionalize and collaborate will create the biggest changes for SGIS students. School requirements will mandate a minor in a professional school at IU, such as SPEA or the business school, bridging the liberal arts with practical experiences focused on specific careers.

“That’s a culture change for the entire campus,” Robel said of this combined focus. The hybrid structure of SGIS and the Media School will ideally help soften the sharp tension that has existed traditionally between professionalization and the liberal arts.

Bucur said the hybrid structure of SGIS will help achieve efficiencies mentioned throughout the New Academic Directions report.

The hybrid within the College allows existing infrastructure, such as the budgetary office, undergraduate

and graduate advisers and staff to avoid redundancies.

“It’s a new life form,” Robel said. “Can we take a set of astonishingly rich resources and make them visible to our students and accessible to our outside world?”

Media School Discussion about restructuring the media and communication units on campus — the School of Journalism and the departments of communication and culture and telecommunications — stretches back more than a decade.

The plan to house the Media School in the College, Robel said, would save the school from employing the staff necessary to run a freestanding school, such as fiscal officers, tech staff and career services. By housing the Media School — and SGIS — in the College, the two hybrid structures can draw on existing College resources to reduce duplication of services.

Robel often models the Media School after SGIS, but the hybrids are in different in many ways.

But the Media School, with the challenge of changing the legacy of the School of Journalism and its independence from the College, posed a “high level of difficulty,” Robel said.

The merger, with its goal of combining three units, sparked months of active town hall meetings and impassioned responses from alumni, students and faculty.

By fall 2013, when various faculty committees began to outline new curriculum, programming and physicalspace needs, it became clear that parts of CMCL would need a new home.

“The College has an obligation to find these people homes, but the devil is in the details,” Gieryn said. “I suspect we’ll lose some people through that.”

The Media School, the last of the seven primary New Academic Directions changes to take effect, will begin July 1.

A time of transition When units merge, faculty, students and administrators are thrown into

roles they never expected to serve. They’re forced to take time out of their teaching and research in order to plan curriculum, staff, names and buildings.

Many of these faculty members, like Communication and Culture Department Chair Jane Goodman, are planning a future school they will not be housed in.

Goodman will most likely step down from the Faculty Advisory Board next year, she said.

When faculty advise mergers, they sacrifice time and teaching, but there is no alternative, BFC President Herb Terry said. These are the people who know the curriculum and purposes of schools best — who else would be qualified to define the future of a school?

Bonnie Brownlee, associate dean of the School of Journalism, serves on a number of committees that are helping shape the Media School’s future. It has been a slow process to understand the other merging units, she said. It’s not just a merger of classes and administrators — it’s a merger of theory, histories and cultures.

Despite optimism and a desire to create a new innovative school, students and faculty say it’s impossible to tell whether these academic mergers will be worth the time and effort.

But Martin Law thinks students should be willing to be a part of the process.

He has been working an additional 10 hours every week on a graduate student advisory board.

Student concerns are crucial, Law said, and administrators need to be held accountable for putting student recommendations into action.

“If you’re going to ask for input, you should take that input,” Law said. It’s inevitable that these types of mergers will keep happening, he said, and for current students, they are often difficult to face.

Students like Law came to IU envisioning a certain type of education, and now, that image is changing.

“We didn’t sign up to be a part of a transition team when we enrolled,” he said.

“It turns out it’s what we have to do.”

Teacher receives statewide award

BY SYDNEY MURRAY slmurray@indiana.edu

Wendy Tamborrino has been teaching fifth grade at Binford Elementary since 1996 and was recently awarded the Armstrong Teacher Educator Award from the IU School of Education.

Awarded to nine teachers in the state, Tamborrino was the second Monroe County Community School Corporation teacher in a row to receive this award.

“I think that that speaks volumes for the quality of teachers in MCCSC,” Tamborrino said.

She said she is both humbled and honored to receive the award and said it is nice her and other teachers’ work is being recognized. Tamborrino said she admires the work ethic and expertise at Binford.

“There are so many teachers in Binford and in the school district who could be in the same position as I am,” she said. “It just happened to be my lucky day, I guess.”

Besides her students, Tamborrino has a 5-year-old son, Nicholas, a 7-year-old daughter, Gabriella, and a

10-year-old son, Anthony, who is in her class at Binford.

Tamborrino said it has been a really powerful experience being able to teach her son. She has been able to see his work habits, his strengths and weaknesses.

“I think it’s given me a lot of information so that when he moves onto middle school and I don’t have so much interaction with him, I know his work habits,” she said. “I know what he needs.

I can kind of predict ahead of time where there might be a problem, and we can work through it and give him the support that he needs.”

Tamborrino’s son calls her “Mom” in class, but she said none of the other children seem to mind. She said her classroom has a family feel.

“They’re my kids,” she said. “Anthony’s biologically mine, but these kids are my kids.”

Tamborrino said she enjoys teaching fifth grade because the kids are old enough to express their opinions and know right and wrong, but they’re still young enough to need some guidance and support.

She said their thinking is more worldly than in younger grades, and the students realize they can make a difference in the world.

This year, the class has talked about being an “upstander” instead of a bystander, and the kids have been good about stepping forward and reporting bullying, she said.

Tamborrino said she was inspired to be a teacher because of her mother, who was a music teacher. She loved watching her mother make lesson plans, find fun music and teach kids in creative ways.

“I appreciated the way that she moved outside the box, and that said to me that I want to do something like that — and watching my friends enjoy music from my mom’s teaching, I said I want kids to feel the same way, too,” she said.

Tamborrino said she has also been inspired by her colleagues at Binford, especially her fellow fifth-grade teachers. She said the group productively pushes one another to do better each day.

“We’re constantly sharing information, talking about

kids, what works, what instructional strategies are most effective,” she said.

“We’ve really had a sense that the kids who we teach here at Binford are all of our kids, and it’s all of our responsibility. We’re all doing this together, it’s a collaborative culture, and I think that’s what pushes us as professionals to become even better is that collaboration.”

Teachers are more than just teachers, she said. They are also caregivers, nurses and coaches.

“It’s definitely a job where you have many hats to wear,” she said.

The Armstrong Teacher Educator Award recognizes educator excellence and also provides funding to teachers so they can work on their own professional development projects.

Tamborrino said she is looking forward to the opportunity to work with other Armstrong teachers, pre-service teachers and to collaborate with IU. “I just really look forward to the year ahead and trying some new, innovative things,” she said.

What is the primary?

Primary elections happen in May. Unlike the general election, the primary is a single-party ballot.

When they arrive at the polling site, voters choose whether they want to vote as a Republican or a Democrat and are given a ballot of hopeful candidates for the respective party. Voters cannot cast ballots for both parties.

The winners of the primary will appear on the Nov. 4 general election ballot.

Who’s running?

Though there are many races affecting Bloomington in this primary, only seven are contested.

U.S. House of Representatives, District 9, Republicans Mark Jones, Kathy Lowe Heil, Todd Young U.S. House, District 9, Democrats Bill Bailey, James McClure, J.S. Miller, William “Billy” Thomas Monroe County Clerk, Democrats Ashley Cranor, Linda Robbins Monroe County Sheriff, Democrats Mike Pershing, Stephen Sharp, Catherine “Cathy” Smith, Brad Swain Monroe County Council, District 2, Republicans Marilyn Brinley, Brian Ellison, Jennifer Mickel, Paul White Monroe County Council, District 4, Republicans Barak “Barry” Jayne, Greg Knott Bloomington Township Board, Democrats Kim Alexander, Dawn Allen, Robert “Bob” Loviscek, Barbara McKinney, Bill Sturbaum

What do you need to vote?

First and foremost, every voter must be registered to vote in Indiana. You can check your registration status at indianavoters.com.

If you can’t find yourself in the database there, try any other names you might be registered under and then call the Monroe County Election Board at 812-3492690.

State law also requires a valid state ID at the polling place.

“The biggest thing is ID,” Monroe County Election Supervisor Ruth Hickman said.

State-issued IDs include Indiana driver’s licenses, passports or student ID cards from any state college or university, including IU and Ivy Tech Community College.

Those who don’t bring an ID are issued provisional ballots that only count if they bring in an ID to the county clerk’s office by noon May 16.

“We don’t turn people away,” Hickman said. “It’s their responsibility to bring in whatever piece is missing.”

Where do you vote?

Voting takes place in precincts based on the voter’s registered address.

You can check that on indianavoters.com, too.

Student voters, in particular, should make sure to check where they’re registered and where the correct polling place is.

“Say in 2012 when you registered you lived in a dorm and now you live in Varsity Villas,” Hickman said.

“Of course you’re not on the rolls. You registered to vote in 2012 when you lived in Foster Quad.”

Those who have moved recently should go to whatever polling place is listed on indianavoters. com and then change their registration address so they’re ready to go for the general election, Hickman said.

Mrs. Marvin walks in.

Sam raises his hand.

“I think I forgot my brain at my house. I don’t know if I can do this.”

Mrs. Marvin walks toward the student and lifts up a section of his hair.

“Well, I don’t see any holes,” Mrs. Marvin says as she examines his head.

“No?” Sam says.

She walks back to the center of the classroom.

“OK! Notebook! Get that notebook open, we are going to talk about ‘Lawn Boy.’” Last week, the students were learning about inferences. This week, they are learning about themes and are reading chapter 13 from “Lawn Boy” by Gary Paulsen.

As Mrs. Marvin reads, she stops every so often to make sure the students understand the difficult words. “‘Expertise,’ what does that word mean?” Mrs. Marvin asks. “Drew?”

“What you’re an expert at,” Drew said.

The students listen to Mrs. Marvin read the rest of the story attentively as she walks back and forth, looking at the students from time to time.

After she finishes reading the chapter all the way through, she tells her seventh graders to open their notebooks and make inferences about what will happen in the next chapter. * * * Mrs. Marvin’s teaching career at MCCSC began in 1984, the same year that Tri-North became a middle school in MCCSC. Throughout the time span of three decades, some things have changed and some have stayed the same. She still sees kids that don’t pay attention and kids that don’t bring their materials.

“That frustrates me a little bit, but it’s annoyed me for the past 41 years,” Mrs. Marvin said.

But kids didn’t have cell phones in the 1980s. Mrs. Marvin said the advances in technology have caused students’ focus to shift.

“I think kids are so used to instant gratification,” Mrs. Marvin said. “For example, an instant response to a text message, or an instant score

on a video game or instant information over the Internet.

They’re not willing to wait, and they’re not willing to take time to work through things like the way people used to when they had to no matter what the subject is.”

Years ago, Mrs. Marvin said, there wasn’t collaborative networking between teachers. Now, Mrs. Marvin loves the meetings with her co-workers in the morning.

The two classrooms to the left of Mrs. Marvin’s belong to two other English teachers, Lisa Riggins and Myra Farmer.

During Mrs. Riggins’ and Mrs. Farmer’s prep period, they talk in Mrs. Riggins’ classroom. Mrs. Marvin was one of the people that hired Mrs. Riggins in 1984.

“She’s somebody who’s pumped up, ready to do whatever we need to have done or she’s ready to try new things,” Mrs. Riggins said.

They call themselves the “Three Musketeers” because of the tight-knit community they established together throughout the years. They know each other’s children.

They spend time outside of the school together.

“We understand each other’s strengths and weaknesses and celebrations,” Riggins said. “It’s not just about coming to work. We’re a family here.”

Both Mrs. Riggins and Mrs. Farmer believe there will be a void when Mrs. Marvin leaves.

“In this profession, no one can just slip in,” Mrs. Farmer said. “We all know we’re replaceable, but replaceable doesn’t mean the same quality.”

All three of the English teachers said there are many misconceptions about their lives as teachers.

“That we work 180 days a year,” Mrs. Farmer said.

Mrs. Marvin prepares during the summer.

“That we leave at 2:30 in the afternoon,” Mrs. Farmer said.

Mrs. Marvin has never left earlier than 4 p.m. and sometimes stays at school until 6 p.m. to finish grading papers and work on lesson plans.

“That we check in and check out everyday,” Mrs. Farmer said. “That this is a job, not a profession.”

Mrs. Marvin wakes up at 4:45 a.m. to start her day and leaves around 6:30 to prepare for school.

“Nowadays, change is

rapid fire,” Mrs. Farmer said.

“It’s a reaction to symptoms.”

Mrs. Farmer referred to the evolving policy actions that have been enacted since she, Mrs. Riggins and Mrs. Marvin started teaching.

With the increasing reliance of standardized testing being used to assess, reward and penalize those in the classroom and in schools, all three teachers feel like there isn’t enough beneficial and thorough assessment from the federal and state government.

“I don’t remember when I first started teaching people on the outside telling you how to do your job as much, like legislatures,” Mrs. Marvin said.

“We are legislated so much today.”

The other English teachers look at Mrs. Marvin’s retirement as the beginning of the end of an era in the ever-evolving education reform.

During the past 13 years, national education initiatives, like the No Child Left Behind Act and the Common Core State Standards, have drastically changed the way the nation assesses school, teacher and student performance.

In 2011, then-Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels signed legislation that included the implementation and regulation of charter schools, turnaround schools, private school vouchers and teacher evaluations.

In the past few months, Indiana became the first state to drop out of Common Core and released similar academic standards.

This year was the first time the Indiana Department of Education released the new, standardized teacher evaluations, which rates teachers from highly effective to ineffective. The ratings are tied to when teachers can get raises.

After the results came in, many people questioned the validity of the teacher evaluation results. According to the data provided by the Indiana Department of Education, 88 percent of teachers and administrators were assessed as being effective or highly effective in the classroom.

About 2 percent needed improvement and less than half a percent were seen as ineffective teachers. Some schools with “D” and “F” ratings didn’t have educators with a rating less than effective.

MCCSC did not offer its

information this year because of a contract agreement with teachers that ends after the 2014-15 school year.

These teachers will be given fewer salary benefits once this new teacher evaluation initiative is enacted.

“After that time, there will be a base salary and then the only way you can get a raise will be based on this new teacher evaluation system that the state is putting in place,” Mrs. Marvin said.

“There are people that we have talked to in other corporations that are already under it that say even if you are deemed highly effective, depending on how much your corporation has, it could be just $250.”

Mrs. Marvin said she is concerned about the ratings not for herself, but for teachers coming after her.

“It’s kind of a good time for me to get out,” Mrs. Marvin said. “Not because I’m worried about where I’ll be rated. I think I’ll be fine. It’s going to be very hard to keep good young teachers in the profession.”

Mrs. Marvin doesn’t think there is anything wrong with standardized testing in itself.

The problem, Mrs. Marvin said, lies in the high-stakes value in standardized testing.

“If that one test is so important and the kid has the flu that week, they’re not going to do that well. They need to look more at how (students) are really doing in the classroom.”

Teacher and student assessment needs to be more realistic, Mrs. Marvin said. She suggested that asking students to write in descriptive language would be a better way to assess what they are learning, instead of multiple choice questions.

“When in life, unless you become an editor, are you going be asked to pick adjectives and adverbs out of a sentence?” she said. “That’s something kids ask me all the time.

And that’s a very good point.” * * * Mrs. Marvin often dreams of her students at night. She hopes for the best for them.

In one corner of her classroom, she has a board filled with post-it notes with inspirational messages, written by her eighth graders to the incoming class. There are post-it notes that say, “Don’t procrastinate” and “Always pay attention in

class.”

Two years ago, one of her students, Schuyler Barnes, handed her a note he got from his mother, Hannah Bolte.

A line from the note read, “May your dreams come true — you have the ability to make that happen!”

“It was a note that I had written to her when she was leaving eighth grade just telling her that I felt that she was going to be really successful,” Mrs. Marvin said. “It was kind of an inspirational thing.”

Mrs. Marvin said she wrote it because she saw that Bolte was going through a tough time. Still, she is surprised that she kept it for so long. The date on the note says June 4, 1990 — 24 years ago.

“It bought tears to my eyes,” Mrs. Marvin said as she recalled the time she saw the note for the first time in more than 20 years.

It had a lasting effect on 37-year-old Bolte, who had trouble in English class.

“It provided me self-esteem that carried all throughout high school and my career,” Bolte said.

Bolte, a master’s graduate

student and a professor, now works as an editor in her own independent sole proprietorship for university academic writing services. She said she hopes to inspire her students like Mrs. Marvin inspired her.

“It really makes a difference to have an advocate, someone who you regularly interact with who enforces that you’re good enough,” Bolte said. “That makes all the difference.” * * * After the bell rings, Mrs. Marvin sighs. It’s still a challenge to teach 150 students after all these years.

At the end of the day, at the end of her career, she still wonders about the effect she has on her students.

“It just makes you feel good to know that they’re able to follow some of their dreams or what they think they’re going to do or what they wind up doing,” Mrs. Marvin said. “I would hope that people look at me as caring, because I care deeply about my students and my family. That’s pretty much been my life.”

OPINION

EDITORS: CONNOR RILEY & EDUARDO SALAS | OPINION@IDSNEWS.COM

Not so quiet semesters at other colleges Plenty has happened at IU Bloomington this year. Something that didn’t, however, was a good old fashioned riot – and we should be glad.

This spring, over eight universities –

including Colorado State, Western Michigan University, University of California Santa Barbara, Iowa State, University of Kentucky and others – all experinced campus rioting this yearw. And we thought we had it bad.

BANK ON IT

EDITORIAL BOARD

Changing shades for the fall

Our semester in review

ILLUSTRATION BY CHARLEY GRIFFIN | IDS

WE SAY: It’s been real, but we’re not done.

Every semester, Opinion has plenty to talk about.

The spring semester of the 2013-2014 academic school year saw the continuation of changes that have been in motion not only since the fall, but since the beginning of a decade that has continued to bring about changes both on campus and across the country.

Here at IU, we saw the continued inaction of a student government so out of touch and so oblivious to what actually matters to the average undergraduate that taking the IU Student Association to task has essentially amounted to one of the outstanding responsibilities of the Indiana Daily Student Editorial Board.

The issue of substantive student input and student voice in the University took center stage this semester, including in what eventually amounted to another noncompetitive IUSA election.

Despite this, the incoming administration is positioned

to push for IUSA to actually do what it’s supposed to be doing — represent students.

The push will be needed in the face of significant changes being pushed on the campus by the administration, as outlined by another highlight of this semester, the Campus Strategic Plan. The majority of it is little more than feel-good rhetoric and opaque wording. But the reason why it has come to matter and it will continue to do so is because, for better or worse, it presents the direction our University is heading.

Some other primary semester highlights for the Editorial Board include the significant donation to Assembly Hall and the necessary revitalization of other more important parts of our campus, IU’s timely and necessary push for gender-blind housing in our dormitories, campus safety after the Purdue shooting, President Michael McRobbie’s unnecessary withdrawal of the University from the American

Studies Association, IU’s misguided expansion of its smoking ban, the raising of the University’s minimum wage and the possible deportation of IU junior Qun Sunn for owning a business.

In keeping with national trends, this semester we tackled some of the more troubling parts of greek life both on and off IU’s campus.

The dangerous cultures that exist in some chapters are issues that are increasingly receiving national attention. But likewise, greek chapters are also addressing these issues and leading the charge in how we talk about fraternities and sororities, which we hope will lead to more progressive greek systems that college students deserve.

Sexual assault also finally became a national conversation during the course of this semester. From the White House to our campus, we’ve witnessed the transformation of rape from a hushed conversation in public discourse to a

roaring national campaign demanding action.

IU currently a faces a probe from the Department of Education in how it handles sexual assaults. Unwittingly or not, we’ve become part of that conversation, which we hope can lead our University to even better ways to address one of the most perverse issues on college campuses.

Nationally, we continued to see and be part of the ongoing social change the country is undergoing. From the inevitability of marriage equality to the beginning of the end of marijuana prohibition to setbacks for affirmative action, 2014 is turning out to be quite the year for some of the biggest issues we care about.

This semester might be ending, but we’re bound to continue to see and feel the aftermath of what’s happened during its course. opinion@idsnews.com @ids_opinion

WALK THE LINE

IU must continue talking about sexual assault IU-Bloomington is undergoing a federal investigation for its handling of sexual harassment cases as part of a nationwide effort to improve how college campuses respond to sexual assault.

Contrary to initial reports, this investigation is not random. Education department spokeswoman Dorie Nolt said information from parents and advocacy groups, statistical data and other forms of information sparked an investigation at IU “to remedy possible violations of students’ rights.”

This type of investigation is exactly what IU and colleges around the country need.

I am proud to go to a school that usually treats sexual assault seriously and a school that had Slutwalk and a surge of anti-sexual assault programs in anticipation of Little 500. Our freshman orientation features an anti-sexual assault segment, and we

have a 24-hour Sexual Assault Crisis Service at the IU Health Center. The Indiana Daily Student has made reporting instances of sexual assault and rape a priority.

But despite the number of resources IU already has available, we have to keep talking about it. We have to keep working towards a solution.

The national statistics are pretty bad. For women, they’re worse, but college men are also victims of sexual violence. Ultimately, though, the exact statistics don’t even matter. For example, IU is only obligated to report rapes on IU-owned property and many go unreported. One sexual assault of an IU student is already too many.

The good news is not only are college campuses becoming more accountable, the White House is also getting involved. Last week, it released a video featuring the

president and a string of male celebrities speaking about preventing sexual assault.

The way to prevent sexual assault is to stop it at the source, and the majority of sources are men.

But this is not a men vs. women issue, a stance that simultaneously insults both sexes. It’s an issue of rape vs. not rape.

We need to work through the stereotypes “boys will be boys” who can’t help themselves, women are either helpless victims or at fault for the way they dress and the idea it is always women who are raped. None of these are true.

The White House video was an amazing step to defeat these stereotypes. Even James Bond himself, Daniel Craig, took part in the video, proving you can still be the height of masculinity and care about sexual assault.

pre-Little 500 “Don’t Rape” program for men was another step in the right direction.

It was a much more effective method than just telling girls to watch their backs and carry pepper spray.

I hope the current investigation does not reveal IU mishandled any sexual assault cases, but I recognize the importance of such an investigation.

As long as sexual assaults are still happening, there is a need for preventative programs, treatment for victims and overall awareness.

It’s about time schools are accountable for incidents of sexual assault. cjellert@indiana.edu

In the past, the Editorial Board has done some impressive work on feminism and gay rights. This semester we’ve written impressively in-depth coverage about the IU Student Association.

Now that this semester has ended we must wonder what issues the future editors, whoever those crazy broads are, will decide to sink their teeth into when some of us return in the fall.

P.S. those crazy broads are Emma Wenninger and I. And for the fall, let’s talk diversity. The Editorial Board is a diverse group of people. But what we have in sexual orientation, political and musical diversity, we lack in racial diversity. I think I’m one of three nonwhite columnists.

I’m not complaining. It’s actually convenient when I need a quick column. I can just say, “Let’s talk about being black this week.

That’s something 95.3 percent of campus knows nothing about.”

But I shouldn’t be the only one who can talk about black issues. In the Department of African American and African Diaspora Studies, there are more than 70 classes, ranging from African-American dance to a class about black liberation. These classes are open to all races.

There are societies and clubs for blacks that are full of black people you can just go up and talk to.

It is not difficult to find information on the struggles of black people or any minority, for that matter.

It should not take a person of that minority to discuss an issue concerning that minority. A person’s opinion should not be disregarded or discouraged just because he or she is not a minority. We are all human. We share this planet, this country, this state, this campus.

One community’s problem affects all the others, and we each have the right to speak up.

Another big issue at IU is the place of the international student population on our campus.

There were 8,293 international students enrolled throughout all IU campuses in fall 2013.

The majority of these international students come from countries where their first language isn’t English.

They must take an English proficiency test, and if you’re like me you’ve heard rumors about how pathetic the IU English proficiency test is.

If these students don’t understand English as well as IU would like to pretend, it can affect them academically or get them in trouble with the law, as was the case of junior Qun Sun when the Office of International Services learned he was operating a business.

Small leaks can cause big problems, problems that could be easily avoided with an effective system.

These students deserve a better administration that they can trust to take care of them during their stay in the United States. And we plan to be on it.

There are many other issues to complain about, but these are the two that I notice the most.

And I look forward to delving deeper into these issues with a great staff of writers next fall.

IT’S ALWAYS SUNNY

Website: idsnews.com

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.

We said so long and good luck last Friday to my predecessors and people who have inspired me and motivated me since my freshman feet landed at the doors of the Indiana Daily Student.

Now, two years later, I get to fill their shoes.

This upcoming fall, I, with my fellow veteran columnist Lexia Banks, will be editing the IDS opinion section.

Though there are many plans she and I have and many things we want to see done, for now I’ll just say I couldn’t be more excited.

Though the IDS is not financially or editorially dependent on IU, it’s a massive proponent and avenue for student voice and activism, and nowhere is that more present than in the Opinion section.

Columnists receive meaningful and thoughtprovoking emails and commentary about their columns, and many feel when they reach out to an IDS writer they reach out to their University. It is a chance for them to be heard.

As editor, that means I facilitate that interaction. I hope it grows next semester.

I want to create an environment that fosters meaningful dialogue between the University and its students, between the IDS and its readers.

This paper has the incredibly powerful ability to make and manipulate change. As editors, myself and those at supervising the other desks are personally responsible for making sure students are heard, and that the things they care about are given their due.

The IDS is extremely important to me.

It’s where I’ve learned and grown the most as a writer, professional, team member and person.

As I watched the seniors I’ve come to love and respect say their goodbye’s last Friday, I was suddenly struck by the fact we have a finite amount of time in which to make our mark.

If we seize opportunities, surround ourselves with supporters and give ourselves the chance to grow and learn, then we’ll not only make a mark, but we’ll make deep and lasting impressions.

I feel that as a columnist, I have a responsibility to not only voice my opinions, but to make sure the student voice is heard and appreciated.

As an editor, I get the power to do so.

I get the power to foster talent, to make good people better and, hopefully, to see real change.

We have an enormous responsibility while we are here on this campus to be the best representatives of this University and to make it better for the next generation of students.

I hope next semester Lexia and I will not only make our marks, but also give others the same opportunity afforded to us – the chance to leave a mark of their own.

If we can accomplish that, then I will consider myself a successful editor of the Opinion section of this publication. ewenning@indian.edu @EmmaWenninger

vulnerability, Thomas-Willams said. These numbers also have effects at IU. “We see a lot more assaults here, both domestic and sexual violence, in the week prior to the semester starting,” Thomas-Williams said. “What we think is there’s a lot of partying, maybe for the first time, but also, a lot of people are away from their parents for the first time ever.”

The highest-risk time for college students is their freshman year, especially for students 18 and younger, she said.

Representative Christina Hale, D-Indianapolis, said she will not stand for shocking numbers like these anymore.

“The national average is 10.5 percent,” Hale said. “In Indiana, it’s 17.2 percent, or one in six girls, and I find that to be outrageous and unacceptable. And nobody had done anything about it.”

For Hale, who proposed the study that IUPUI researchers will conduct, the biggest challenge is that

complete his degree in four years because of the number of classes he has had to drop due to not being able to access his classrooms.

“There are times when it’s not communicated to disability services when elevators are out,” Crain said. “So I’ve had to miss classes because I can’t get to them. I’ve had to drop classes because the building was completely inaccessible.”

Crain said he couldn’t even get into Swain West because all of the accessible doors open into stairwells, and he can’t maneuver around them.

The DSS has a 24-hour elevator repair team on speed dial, Stumper said.

According to the ADA, public institutions like IU have to make buildings accessible to all students by providing accommodations like accessible bathroom

“Those crimes are everything from date rape to incest to random acts of violence to child seduction,” Hale said.

“Many young women and girls don’t even realize that they’re a victim of a crime because in their family incest is normal.”

In order to be efficient and effective with tax dollars, Hale said Indiana needs more information about the nature of these crimes before the state can start to combat them with legislation.

Researchers will conduct two surveys. One will look at people who interact with teenagers, such as teachers, and the other will try to understand why victims don’t always report their child sexual assault.

“People in general don’t want to report because it doesn’t feel good,” ThomasWilliams said. “The questions that a law enforcement officer asks a victim of a crime are based on trying to find facts and that’s why it can feel very impersonal for survivors.”

Hale said her ultimate goal is twofold. She wants to aid victims in attaining the services they need so that they feel more comfortable reporting a sexual assault, and she wants to use the research to prevent sexual assaults in the first place.

Another component of the study will focus on social media’s influence on sexual assault, trafficking and blackmail. One in five girls will be raped on a college campus, Hale said, and social media is becoming a part of the problem.

“These crimes are being iterated in ways that are unprecedented even five or 10 years ago,” Hale said.

Both Thomas-Williams and Hale said they are hopeful the study will give the state some important insight into teen sexual assault and put Indiana on the right track toward recovery.

“I think that this is indicative that change is happening, that people are involved and that people want to work on it,” Thomas-Williams said.

“To have federal support for that means something. It means something good.”

stalls and elevators if the building is more than one floor.

Many of IU’s buildings were built before 1990, however, and were not held up to the ADA standards.

Currently, accessible parking sits between Merrill Hall and the Jacobs School of Music’s annex. Those coming from Third Street in need of accessible entryways must go around the annex and up a lift to get into Merrill Hall.

“They’re redoing that whole area,” Stumper said.

“It’s because the grade of the land is more than accessibility.”

Stumper said while it’s realistic to change the ramp at Merrill Hall, there are places on campus where it would be too difficult or a financial burden on the school to make it accessible to students with accessibility issues.

She said she thinks these problems on campus do encourage students to look at alternative colleges.

“It’s old,” Stumper said. “It’s got cobblestone in places. It can never be smoothed out.”

Crain said he knows the financial burden the University would be under if it renovated all of its buildings to be accessible, but he does want the university to communicate with the DSS regularly.

“If I’m not going to graduate in four years due to the accessibility issues,” Crain said, “I’m thinking I’ll be done in six.”

Waggoner said she’d like to see changes to IU’s campus, but only if it’s in the right direction. She recommended IU’s architects seek more input from students with physical disabilities when considering new additions to the campus.

“You can only really deal with a problem adequately when you speak to the experts,” she said. “And the experts are the people that maneuver it everyday with issues.”

Residence halls to close this weekend, RAs prepare

BY ANNA HYZY akhyzy@indiana.edu @annakhyzy

IU’s 11 residence halls will empty this weekend, and Resident Assistants will begin work to prepare for the summer.

Most residence halls are requiring students to move out by 10 a.m. Saturday, unless a student has special exceptions such as assisting with graduation ceremonies or moving into summer housing.

After the move-out, RAs check all residents’ rooms for damages.

Kirsten Fulton is an RA in Rose Avenue Residence Hall and will help Rose close for the first time.

This is Rose’s first year in operation, but Fulton said they had to go through checks before opening after the conclusion of summer programming.

“During the transition from summer to opening there weren’t many problems,” she said.

IU is host to many summer programs each year, including camps for journalism, business and various athletic programs.

The only problems Fulton has seen have been with the check-in and check-out processes, she said.

Then-freshman Pat Casey and his mother Kim Casey pack his family’s car. Students across campus are preparing to go home for summer vacation when residence halls close this weekend.

“Sometimes something gets overlooked, but I don’t think there’s a lot of problems that go on,” she said. “The only thing we really have problems with is the computer system when we check people in and out.”

RAs in other established residence halls have had time to get a full picture of check out.

“I only went through closing once last year and we didn’t have many problems,” said Grace Todd, a secondyear RA in Collins Living Learning Center.

Todd said checks took about two and a half hours last

year, but she’s not sure how long the cleaning and restoring processes take to prepare the residence hall for summer.

RAs in Collins work in teams of at least three and check every floor of the building they work in, Todd said.

Todd said the biggest problem RAs run into is residents who forget they have to be out by 10, but most residents are out by noon.

Fulton said there’s no deadline for the closing procedures.

“I think it really only takes a week, maybe a week and a half just to clean everything up,” she said.

of CDC’s National Center for Immunizations and Respiratory Diseases, said there is no evidence suggesting the virus will spread in community settings. The virus typically spreads from person to person through close contact.

“It is understandable that some may be concerned about this situation, but this first U.S. case of MERS-CoV infection represents a very low risk to the general public,” Schuchat said in the CDC release.

Of the 401 confirmed cases of MERS-CoV infection in 12 countries, 93 were reported dead. All reported cases originated in the Arabian

Peninsula, according to the CDC release.

At the moment, there is no vaccine or recommended treatment for the virus.

The CDC is unsure of how the patient was infected.

Schuchat said in a statement to the press the public should not be surprised if more cases are reported in healthcare providers who interacted with the patient before the patient was isolated.

“This situation is very fluid,” Schuchat said. “We expect to learn much more in the coming days.”

Justin Weaver’s daughter Justice tells one of her famous stories at the breakfast table. Unlike most six-year-old girls, whose stories might include princesses and castles, Justice tells of dark forests and prowling animals, waiting to pounce on each other. Each story ends with the same single clap, rubbing her little hands together and a loud, “And then they eat ‘em all up!”

A father’s prayer Justin Weaver is devoting himself to his family and congregation after years in and out of prison for dealing drugs.

BY LEAH JOHNSON | leadjohn@indiana.edu PHOTOS BY KATIE COYLE | kacoyle@indiana.edu

INDIANAPOLIS — Seated in the front row, Justin Weaver carefully folds and unfolds his hands over his King James Bible and his book of prayers. This Sunday, he is alone in the pew.

His girlfriend refuses to attend church now, and refuses to bring their 5-year-old daughter. She thinks it’s hypocritical to play the role of a saint Sunday mornings, only to sell drugs like a sinner at night.

This means he spends another week facing the congregation’s unspoken questions alone. He feels the weight of them without ever hearing a word.

How long will he be around this time?

Where is that girlfriend of his?

Is he dealing again?

The congregation of Greater Faith Community Church knows his struggle.

They have watched him grow into the man he is today, watched him fall in love, become a father, get locked up.

It’s October, and on this morning he is in character. He’s the deacon they have groomed him to be. He intertwines his fingers, a nervous habit, perfected by years of scrutiny from the congregation.

He rests them over his Bible and reads a passage from his prayer book, lips moving silently.

“There is a veil of sinful blindness or darkness that is truth if we don’t know truth,” he reads. “We therefore cannot pursue the truth on our own, but only through God in Christ Jesus.

“However, on our own, with misguided minds, we think we are OK.” Always glad to see their prodigal son return, the elders pat him on the back and shake his hand.

He has rolled more joints than he can count with these hands. He has cooked dope in the kitchen and counted the dirty money with them. He held his daughter, combed her hair, with these hands.

Today, he will pray with these hands and hope the changes he makes are enough. * * * He always keeps his hands in his lap

Through his faith, Justin knows that he has to turn his life around this time. Growing up with a mother who struggled with drug addictions, he has seen the consequences it has for families.

He spent a lot of his childhood growing up with his grandparents between his mother’s shortlived periods of sobriety. By the age of 13, he was already dealing and on house arrest.

when he speaks, weaving his fingers as though in prayer. His finger nails are always clipped and his skin is well maintained — they’re hands that don’t look like they belong to a man who speaks of his prison stints with such ease, who describes his addictions in terms of dollars and his arrest record without a hint of hesitation.

From his well-kept dreadlocks to his manicured fingernails, Justin seems like a put-together guy. His appearance is important, he says, as long as people are watching him.

Yet at 29, Weaver is facing one of the greatest challenges of his life — fatherhood. He is working to become the father he never had, the role model his daughter needs. His daughter, Justice, is only 5.

Every day he tries again to fit himself into those roles. But his record is dotted with misses.

As far as they can recall, Weaver was arrested for the first time when he was 13 for assaulting a police officer. He was arrested again at 15 and 18 for possession of an illicit substance. Since then, his adult-

hood has been peppered with arrests, near-arrests and stints in jail on charges drug related and otherwise.

The first time Weaver was arrested after Justice was born, she was seven months old.

Some of her first conscious memories of him are from the other side of a computer screen, the method the county prison used to allow visitation. He missed most of her firsts, most of her birthdays.

He started college and dropped out.

He went to church and become a deacon.

He moved to Ohio and came back home.

It’s in Indianapolis, in his community, where the same things that sent him to prison are everywhere. The fast money, the friends pumping the streets with drugs. Getting his life on track is the most difficult challenge Justin has ever had to face.

“It’s tough trying to change from everything that you knew and trying to do something else,” he says. “That was my SEE WEAVER, PAGE20

IU baseball sweeps Purdue at home

BY ANDREW VAILLIENCOURT availlie@indiana.edu @AndrewVcourt

IU baseball players remember the brawl that occurred the last time IU and Purdue met, a game in 2012. Junior pitcher Luke Harrison said the Hoosiers wanted to put Purdue in its place this season after Purdue had beaten the Hoosiers last year. Other players echoed similar thoughts, saying they wanted to make it known who was the best team in the state of Indiana.

This weekend the Hoosiers got their revenge, sweeping the Boilermakers.

They took the first game 6-0, the second game 7-3 and the third 12-3.

No. 15 IU improved to 32-12, 16-2 on the season, while Purdue dropped to 12-32, 5-13. The Hoosiers have a three-game lead over both Nebraska and Illinois for first place in the Big Ten. “We just don’t look at it

like it’s Purdue,” IU Coach Tracy Smith said. “It’s another team in the Big Ten and I thought we handled what we needed to handle this weekend to keep ourselves in contention to nail down a championship.”

With the sweep, the Hoosiers have now won 20 of their last 22 games.

On Friday, senior pitcher Joey DeNato picked up his 10th win of the season. He lowered his ERA to 2.06 with the shutout.

Sophomore pitcher Christian Morris started and got the win Saturday, his third start of the season. His ERA dropped to 2.25 after allowing only one hit in five and a third innings.

Senior pitcher Brian Korte went 2-0 with the win Sunday, pitching five scoreless innings to lower his ERA to 1.78.

“The weather, the atmosphere, the whole old school thing, it was pretty cool,” Korte said. “Looking back

I’ll definitely remember this game.”

IU had an old school theme for Sunday’s game.

The team wore its throwback uniforms, hired an organ player and the umpires were dressed in old fashioned uniforms.

The players put on a show for two record-setting crowds, with 3,661 attending the game Saturday and 3,862 Sunday setting the all-time record for an IU baseball game, breaking Saturday’s record. The series marked the first time IU has drawn more than 3,000 fans in each game of a threegame series.

“We are proud of that,” Smith said. “This is what we thought it could be. I love that we give the people of Bloomington and the surrounding community, and maybe other people drove in from greater distances, something to enjoy at this time of year. I was very excited to see that, and it’s nice

that we have the support.”

The Hoosier offense was firing on all cylinders yet again, with 25 runs and 42 hits in the series.

Senior third baseman Dustin DeMuth played a great game Sunday, going 3-for-3 with two doubles and six RBIs to go along with a walk. He boosted his batting average to .381, the highest on the team.

“I think everyone was locked in today,” DeMuth said. “We wanted to come out and get the sweep, especially against Purdue. I thought we got off to a good start.”

Junior catcher Kyle Schwarber also had a good series, with seven hits, two of them doubles and one a rocket of a home run, to increase his average to .348.

“I got some pretty good barrel on (the home run),” Schwarber said. “It was one you just watch.”

The Hoosiers now have seven of their nine starters

hitting at least .298.

Sophomore pitcher Will Coursen-Carr, who was an important part of last year’s team, has struggled this season and came in to pitch in relief Sunday. He was pulled after hitting a batter and walking the next on four pitches.

“We want to get him on track,” Smith said. “He is one of the best pitchers in this conference, whether he believes it or not. He’s just has to get his confidence back.”

With finals this week, IU does not have a midweek game. The team will travel to Penn State this weekend.

Schwarber said in his freshman year, when they played at Sembower, there were probably 50 to 100 spectators.

“Now you have over 3,000,” Schwarber said. “It’s great to have people looking forward to coming to watch baseball and cheering us on.

It adds an extra element to the game.”

Heading into the final Big Ten series of the season, IU Coach Michelle Gardner wanted to see the Hoosiers do one thing against No. 19 Nebraska — win.

“I want a couple wins from Nebraska,” she said. “We need to put together a full game.”

IU (17-38-1, 5-18) was unable to do so, getting swept in three games on the road against the Huskers (40-14, 18-5).

During the first contest of the weekend, IU fell 3-1.

Through the first five innings, neither team was able to score.

In the first at-bat of the sixth frame, IU junior center fielder Brianna Meyer homered giving IU the first lead of the game.

The solo home run was Meyer’s second long ball of the season.

The 1-0 Hoosier lead would be short lived.

With one out and two runners on base, Nebraska freshman infielder Marjani Knighten sent a 1-0 offering to left-center, clearing the bases and legging out a triple in the process.

On the next at-bat, junior outfielder Kylee Muir hit a double to left center field, pushing across Knighten for the final run of the game.

The Hoosiers offense shutout for the ninth time this season in a 3-0 loss.

Not only did IU’s offense not push a run across the plate, but the team was limited to just one hit, which came off of the bat of senior third basemen Shelby Gogreve in the top of the seventh inning.

The first run of the game came in the fourth. Nebraska freshman outfielder Austen Urness sent a 1-0 pitch over the left field wall, giving the Huskers a 2-0 lead.

IU finishes 8th place at Big Ten Tournament

BY CASEY KRAJEWSKI crkrajew@indiana.edu

The IU men’s golf team concluded its season Sunday by placing eighth in the Big Ten Tournament at the Pete Dye Golf Course at French Lick Resort.

The Hoosiers trailed the tournament winner, Minnesota, by 29 strokes by the end of the final round. IU Coach Mike Mayer said he was disappointed in the result, but that it was a good learning experience for the team.

“We knew we were lacking strength going in to it,” Mayer said. “We only had one guy with experience here so I’m not too surprised we finished eighth.”

The top performer for IU was junior Nicholas Grubnich, who tied for seventh with scores of 76-79-74-70 for a total of 299, 11 over par.

Mayer said the most impressive of those scores was

» SOFTBALL

Grubnich’s two over par score in the third round despite fighting what Mayer called the worst collegiate golf conditions he’d ever seen.

“There were 30 mile-perhour winds all day,” Mayer said. “It was a battle the whole way through, and I guess the golf course won that battle for most guys.”

Grubnich’s score in the third round was tied for the fourth-best in the field.

“It’s funny because normally wind conditions are not kind to him,” Mayer said.

“But we talked to him about keeping it in front of him and doing what the golf course allows him to do and he did just that.”

Grubnich also said the key to that round was not trying to do too much.

“It was so windy, you could barely stand up on the greens,” Grubnich said. “I just kept telling myself to keep it in the fairway and that pars

last until the bottom of the third.

Senior pitcher Tatum Edwards sent a ball to left center, driving in the first Nebraska run of the game.

After recording two outs, IU junior pitcher Lora Olson faced a bases loaded jam as Muir stepped up.

On the second pitch of the at-bat, Muir sent a ball to left field, bringing in four runs to give the Huskers a 5-2 lead.

IU allowed two more runs in the next inning after a throwing error and another RBI single from Edwards.

In the bottom of the fifth, Muir got her fifth RBI of the game, driving in Knighten off of a double to left.

With IU set to begin conference tournament play Thursday against Purdue, Gardner wants to see the team stay competitive and push more runs across the plate.

“We need to play our own game,” Gardner said.

“We need to be better with putting runs on the board.”

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12 was at that point the third team home run of the weekend in the following inning.

On the first at-bat of the frame, senior catcher Tay Edwards sent the first pitch of the offering to left field for the final run of the game.

Gardner said she saw some encouraging things from the offense.

“I felt like Friday and Saturday we did some good things,” she said. “We were in both those games.

We scored first Friday but couldn’t finish on top. We need to continue to battle and find timely hits with runners in scoring position.”

Despite an early lead from IU in the third game Sunday, Nebraska came back to win 8-3, completing the three-game sweep.

With two outs in the bottom of the second, IU sophomore catcher Kelsey Dotson hit a single to drive in two runners for IU. The Hoosier lead would

would go a long way in that round.”

Grubnich said despite being disappointed in the team’s overall finish, his own performance was at least some consolation.

“Obviously I want the team to come first,” Grubnich said. “But it eases the pain slightly knowing that I did well. It gives a little confidence for me moving in to next season.”

The next best scores for the Hoosiers came from the team’s two seniors, David Mills and Hugo Menendez.

Both tied for 31st with totals of 306 during the course of the tournament.

Mayer said Mills was battling more than just the rest of the Big Ten when he hit the links this weekend.

“No excuses but David had to fight a bad case of bronchitis that really affected his game,” said. “I haven’t hid the fact that we’re only going

to be as good as David is for us. I don’t mean to throw it all on him, but we knew if we wanted to have a great tournament, we needed him to perform.”

Sophomore Max Kollin tied for 41st overall with a final tally of 308 strokes. Freshman Will Seger tied for 53rd with a 317. Besides Mills, no Hoosier golfer had any experience in the Big Ten Championship.

The team won’t qualify for a regional this year, but Mayer said the season was beneficial for a young team. Grubnich said he’s already looking forward to what the team will do next year.

“I thought it was a good learning year for us,” Grubnich said. “We lost a lot last year so there were some big shoes to fill. It was nice to see some of the younger guys step up, and I’m looking forward to seeing what we can accomplish next year.”

Final home meet brings big results

BY TORI ZIEGE vziege@indiana.edu

It happened the way it was supposed to.

In her final home meet for IU track and field, senior Kelsie Ahbe delivered on her promise.

She put together a careerbest performance, vaulting 4.35 meters in her final competition at Robert C. Haugh Track and Field Complex.

“Today was special because it was my last home meet,” Ahbe said. “I’ve never put together a good meet at home. Over the span of five years — never. So it was a challenge, and I was excited to have it happen today.”

Inching closer to the school record set by her mentor Vera Schmitz, Ahbe soared past the competitors at the Billy Hayes Invitational with the fifth-best vault in the NCAA.

En route to a first place finish, Ahbe added an additional three centimeters to her personal best clearance, now just one centimeter away from tying Schmitz’s record.

But rather than opting for the 4.37 meter bar late in the competition, Ahbe set her sights on higher heights.

“I just think that I have even more than that in the tank,” she said. “I might as well see a higher bar now, so that when it really matter at nationals, I’m ready to go.”

Junior Drew Volz also achieved a lifetime best in the men’s pole vault.

In the final event of the evening, the entire IU team gathered in the stands to cheer Volz on.

With his teammates’ support, Volz sky-rocketed to the height of 5.30 meters — a tie for eighth-best in school history.

Sophomore Sydney Clute

rounded out the triad of top pole vault performances, clearing 4.15 meters for a personal-best mark. “(The pole-vaulters) have been practicing really well,” IU Coach Ron Helmer said.

“And when you practice well, you hope that you can come out here and do really good things. And they’re doing it.”

Earlier in the day, freshman Ari Nelson won the long jump with a personal best 6.19 meters, the fourth-best mark in the Big Ten this season.

Saturday’s Billy Hayes Invitational contributed to a big weekend for track and field, one that began Friday with the inaugural meet of American Track League series.

In the 1,500-meter run, junior Rorey Hunter made a name for himself, defeating multiple professional athletes — including Australian record-holder, Ryan Gregson.

Hunter out-sprinted

Gregson, Indiana Elite’s Danny Stockberegr and Austin Track Company’s Duncan Phillips down the stretch to win the race in three minutes and 40.36 seconds.

“I was just trying to not get last,” Hunter said. “I just jumped on the back of the pack and rolled with it. I got a sniff in the last lap and just kicked as hard as I could. It paid off.”

Hunter’s time is the second-fastest in the NCAA this season.

Seeing Hunter perform at such a high level isn’t surprising, Helmer said. Having his hard work finally payoff, as a coach, is gratifying.

“There are a lot of great people who never develop the ability to be a great finisher and Rorey’s got it,” Helmer said. “That’s a pretty comforting tool to have in your tool box when it’s time to go racing.”

Jacobs students perform at Rachael’s Cafe

BY ALEXANDRA MAHONEY

almahone@indiana.edu Graduate student Ben Wedeking walked over to a garbage can and clipped his fingernails moments before his performance. This is the way Wedeking, a string instrument musician, prepares his fingers for performance.

Wedeking and eight other Jacobs School of Music students put on a concert at 7 p.m. May 3 in Rachael’s Cafe.

Organized by Wedeking, the event showcased four different types of chamber music, ranging from pieces

by Russian composer Tchaikovsky to rock tunes by the Rolling Stones.

Working on a double major in violin and guitar performance, Wedeking has played a variety of chamber music pieces this past year.

Chamber music refers to music composed for small groups that would be played in a small chamber or room, Wedeking said. He wanted to incorporate his experience with it in his act. “I wanted to do everything I’ve been involved with this past semester in one place and have all different groups in the same concert,�

Wedeking said.

The concert contained four different sections, the first being a string sextet performing a classical piece by Tchaikovsky called, “Souvenir de Florence.�

The next section consisted of seven popular Spanish songs by Manuel de Falla for classical guitar and soprano voice. “As an undergrad, I remember hearing graduate students playing these songs

Nine students performed four types of chamber music Saturday evening at Rachael’s Cafe. The genres ranged from classical to modern rock.

with a vocalist, and I really admired these pieces,� Wedeking said. “I always wanted to play them.�

He said these pieces were written by a classical composer but are inspired by Spanish folk music. These pieces portray the shift from classical to folk.

The next section included classical guitar duos and mandolin/guitar duos deriving from the Brazilian choros

tradition. “Choros is a genre not very well known as much as samba and bossa nova, but in Brazil, choros are just as popular as the other two genres,� Wedeking said.

The last section of the concert included steel and electric guitar duos from the American folk tradition performed by Wedeking and Eli Schille-Hudson, a freshman studying guitar

performance. “The idea is that we’re going on a journey from more academic and classical music to less academic and more folk-oriented pieces,�

Wedeking said.

As the only undergraduate student in the entire performance, Schille-Hudson said he and Wedeking had been jamming for a couple weeks when he asked him to be a part of the performance.

They collaborated to choose songs they both knew how to play or were willing to learn from each other. “This performance is different from Jacobs’ concerts in that it’s out in public, and we’re not sure of who the audience is going to be,�

Schille-Hudson said. “It’s also much more relaxed and laid-back.�

Wedeking said along

IKE HAJINAZARIAN | IDS

with this performance being more relaxed and laid back, it’s an opportunity for audience members to hear different types of music and experience different genres all in one concert. “The audience will hopefully find some links between the different styles and have interest in a new perspective or a glimpse into a variety of genres,�

Wedeking said.

Venue opens community summer memento exhibit

BY ALISON GRAHAM akgraham@indiana.edu

When one-third of Bloomington’s population moves away for the summer months, community shops remain open.

The Venue Fine Art & Gifts is opening one more exhibit before the summer begins and is offering keepsakes for Bloomington residents and IU students to take wherever they are traveling, owner Gabriel Colman said. “Bloomington is Beautiful� opened May 2 and will remain on display until May 15. “When I travel, if I can get a piece of art that can remind me of that living experience, I’ll do that,� Colman said. “It offers an opportunity for them to buy something to remind them of Bloomington and the beauty of the place.�

Community members can come into the gallery to view the artwork before leaving Bloomington or they can purchase a piece to take with them.

The keepsakes range from $10 to $5,000 and include paintings, prints, wood turnings, ceramics, stained glass,

cards and pens.

The paintings feature iconic Bloomington locations such as the Sample Gates, the Monroe County Courthouse, Showalter Fountain and others.

One item the Venue offers is a children’s book titled, “The Fish on the Dome.�

The book tells the story of two kids who are lazily sitting on a couch all day. The mythological fish on the courthouse comes and tells them to get off the couch, taking them on a journey around Bloomington.

Colman said it is a neat

keepsake for Bloomington residents because it shows each iconic place of the city.

The Venue has been in business for six years. During that time, it has commissioned various artists to create paintings, prints and other locally crafted objects.

Colman said many times these objects evoke the spirit of Bloomington in one way or another. “I think coming to look at the art will point out how picturesque our community is,� Colman said. “And it’s nice to have pleasant reminders of Bloomington with you.�

Radio show ‘Says You!’ comes to the BCT

BY CHRISTIAN KEMP cjkemp@indiana.edu

Richard Sher stood between the audience and the panelists. “It is wonderful to be back,� he said, referencing his return to Bloomington. “We are just about set to play, but we have one more thing to do. This is a great new room. We know we have the sound mic, but this needs to sound happy, good and fun.�

Scher is the host and creator of “Says You!,� a radio game show he has played host to for the last 18 years. “Says You!� travels the country challenging panelists and audiences with “quips and quibbles� concerning word games and brain bogglers. Tickets for the show sold out last Saturday at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater.

Cheers and applause roared for contributors to the show, the audience, the panelists and Sher.

Award-winning quartets from the Jacobs School of Music played both shows.

The Kenari Saxophone

quartet played Saturday’s show, and Wasmuth String Quartet played Sunday’s show.

Both groups played intros and interludes, which allowed panelists to ponder their answers.

An encore show was presented Sunday in the music school.

The show places an emphasis on humor and though teams are scored, there is no dishonor in losing.

Panelists joke with each other as they play the game.

The game is divided into rounds. The first round is called “definition and derivation,� wherein the panelists, who are broken into two teams, try to define words or phrases.

One question was, “Where does the phrase ‘end of the rope’ come from?� The correct answer turned out to be when a horse was tethered, it would eat all the grass in the circular vicinity of its confinement, and therefore be at “the end of the rope,� trying to reach grass to eat.

Other rounds were

called “bluff rounds.� In a bluff round, a word is given to the panelists, and one team makes up three different definitions for the word. Only one definition is correct.

The team that tried to deceive its opponents defined the word “nibby� as either being a toothless cat, a person who sticks themselves places they should not be and a cloth-covered, Victorian candy given to children and elderly people.

A “nosy, over-inquisitive, interfering� person was the correct answer.

Stanley Rarick, a Bloomington resident and fan of the show, said the show generally keeps the same panelists and occasionally uses guest members.

Panelists all have mediarelated jobs and are familiar with each other. “You hear these people on the radio and you think, ‘You wouldn’t want to see that person,’ but they’re great.�

Guest panelist Miah Michaelsen appeared for the show Sunday. She is Bloomington’s assistant economic

director for the arts.

She said she was elated to be on “Says You!� in the program brochure because it is better than folding laundry for her husband and two

sons.

Rarick said he saw the show at the Buskirk-Chumley and in the music school.

The show in the music school concluded with the

audience and cast singing “(Back Home Again in) Indiana.�

Sher said the show would most likely be aired in late May or early June.

Irish event celebrates Celtic culture, music FROM IDS REPORTS

Music and culture were just two of the items on the agenda of this year’s Celtic Culture Weekend, an annual event that features Celtic language programs and an evening of traditional Irish cÊili music.

Headed by Indiana Celtic Community, formed in 2008 by Irish language teacher Devin Blankenship, Saturday’s Celtic language immersion program included classes in Irish.

Kevin Rottet, associate professor of French linguistics, presented an overview of the Welsh language

during the program.

The price for weekend festivities was $125, but there were also events open to the public Saturday.

Rottet’s public lecture took place in the Indiana Memorial Union, and was followed by a performance at Serendipity Martini Bar

by CĂŠilĂ­ Band and Alair, a Celtic music group.

Though largely unknown in other countries, Irish Gaelic is spoken by about two million people and is the national and first official language of the Republic of Ireland.

Water polo wins, plays Stanford in NCAAs

BY SAM BEISHUIZEN sbeishui@indiana.edu @Sam_Beishuizen

In IU Coach Barry King’s eyes, the IU women’s water polo team is playing with house money.

IU never trailed Wagner University in Saturday’s NCAA Tournament play-in game. The Hoosiers defeated the Seahawks 11-6 in the Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatic Center to punch No. 8 seed IU a ticket to Los Angeles, where they will play No. 1 Stanford Friday in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament.

“This is the quintessential, ‘We’ve got nothing to lose,’ kind of situation,” King said. “(Stanford) is incredibly talented and extremely well-coached, but I’d like to believe we’re pretty good ourselves. I’d imagine this will be the best 1-8 game in the history of the tournament.”

This year marks the third time in program history IU has advanced to the NCAA Tournament. The winner of the IU-Stanford matchup will move on to play the winner of Arizona State and California Saturday for a chance to advance to Sunday’s national championship game.

King said he had no firm expectations for his team in the tournament, which features six teams from California, a water polo-dominant state. Senior Shae Fournier

“This is the quintessential, ‘We’ve got nothing to lose,’ kind of situation. (Stanford) is incredibly talented and extremely wellcoached, but I’d like to believe we’re pretty good ourselves. I’d imagine this will be the best 1-8 game in the history of the tournament.”

Barry King, water polo coach

echoed his sentiment, but said the win against Wagner and reaching the tournament has the Hoosiers eager to make some noise.

“It’s definitely great to know that we’re not done,” Fournier said. “This has been our goal all year and to see that realized just boosts our confidence a lot. We’re just ready to play and excited.”

IU set the tone against Wagner early in the match, controlling both the offensive and defensive sides of the pool and taking an early lead.

Junior Rebecca Gerrity scored on IU’s opening possession to put the Hoosiers up 1-0 quickly, while sophomore goalie Jessica Gaudreault kept the Seahawks SEE WATER POLO, PAGE 17

» WATER POLO

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 16 off the board by making three of her nine saves in the opening four and a half minutes.

IU held a 6-4 lead heading into the halftime break, but as the third quarter got underway, the Hoosiers pulled away.

Only 30 seconds into the second half, Gerrity found herself unmanned in front of the net and was able to deflect a pass from senior attacker Meghan Lappan into the back of the net to extend the Hoosier lead to three.

Fournier, all-time program leader in goals scored, would make the score 8-4 a minute later, capitalizing on a penalty shot.

Penalty scores became a trend for Fournier who was a perfect 3-of-3 on five-meter penalty opportunities.

While the Hoosier offense was taking advantage of the high percentage penalty opportunities, the Hoosier defense did not allow any goals via penalty or power play.

IU was able to hold defensively and clog up the front of the net while down a player throughout the match.

“That’s a dangerous part of the game and one that you have to try to find as many opportunities as possible, because they’re kind of a double-whammy play,” King said. “Those are going to happen when we’re kind of controlling the middle of the pool, and that’s what happened there.”

WOMEN’S WATER POLO (23-5) at Stanford (23-1) 3:30 p.m., May 9, Los Angeles Wagner pulled back within three goals late in the third period, but that would be the closest the Seahawks would get to a comeback the rest of the match.

Gaudreault and the Hoosier defense held Wagner scoreless for the game’s final nine minutes and 48 seconds while the offense added a pair of goals in the closing period to finalize the 11-6 victory.

IU (23-5), the Collegiate Water Polo Association conference champion, heads to play Stanford (23-1) looking to build upon the team’s 12game winning streak.

Fournier said the Hoosiers were playing at their best against Michigan last week and added there is still room for the Hoosiers to improve.

IU will have the week to practice and tighten areas up before heading to NCAA women’s water polo’s big dance. The Hoosiers will be playing for the program’s first NCAA National Championship title in school history.

“It sounds cliché to say that it’s such a great reward for all the hard work, because all the other teams worked hard, too,” King said. “But this is what they come to do and come to play for. It comes to fruition when they play well and earn their right to be in the tournament at this level.”

His family makes him want to be better, more reliable, less scarce.

The Weaver family is tightknit. They gather at Grandma’s place after church for some home-cooked chicken.

Justin and his younger sister argue about the best shooter in the NBA. The dog, Tuffie, yips at the leg of anyone who will pay him some attention.

For the first time in as long as anyone can remember, things seem normal.

But it doesn’t matter.

“I always feel like everybody’s looking at me. You know what I mean?” he says.

“I’m just a perfectionist. I’ve got to walk perfect, I’ve got to talk perfect.”

His daughter plays with her cousin in the other room, always in his line of sight. He looks in her direction, leans forward on his elbows and thinks for a moment.

“But I always come back.

No matter if I’m doing real good or I’m doing real bad, I always make it back.” * * * There was a time in his life when Justin says you could sum up his essence in the song “Trap or Die” by the rapper Young Jeezy. It’s a song from the album “Thug Motivation 101” that speaks of being the best in the streets, the most intimidating and the most imitated.

It rang like an anthem for young guys like Justin, trying to stake his claim in a game that he had to play to survive.

Most days now, with his daughter resting on his knee, playing ABC Mouse with her on their iPad, he seems much more Jim Henson than Jeezy.

Justin gives her pointers on how to gather coins in her game. You get them for beating challenges, she reminds everyone. She plays it every time she can get her hands it, beats another level, collects more prizes. She has decided she better earn at least 100 more coins today.

She is always reaching for more.

And she’s aggressive. She has the attitude and scathing

retorts of someone twice her age. Some afternoons, she gets sent home with reports from her teacher of fights with other children.

Her father says she is too tough to play with dolls. He signed her up for the Municipal Garden’s Fall Basketball League.

“She’s too mean to play with other little girls her age, doing girly stuff,” he says. “She fights too much.”

Sometimes her mother, Stephanie, thinks about how well her toddler knew the patdown process when entering a prison, how she would spread her arms and legs automatically to be searched by the guards. Or how she used to shout for her daddy across the sitting room when they’d wait for their chance to “visit” on the computer screens.

They were constantly making adjustments, slowly, still five years into her life.

They were trying to get her out of the Indianapolis Public School system. They were separating her from the life of the streets. They were keeping her busy and out of trouble.

She had already seen so much.

To make money, Stephanie waits tables at Uno’s Chicago Grill on the south side of Indianapolis. As long as it keeps her daughter fed and cared for, serving suits her.

Yet at the end of the day, she’s used to the fast money, too. It feels good, cashing out when the night is over, slipping $200 in your pocket.

It feels even better because she knows it’s clean.

Sometimes she notices the way that her daughter fears the police, just like she does.

Even though all of her plates and permits are valid, Stephanie fears that her little girl won’t be able to fight the rise that the red and blue lights and the whir of a siren still elicit in her.

“I got pulled over the other day, and it was just for speeding,” she says. “And Justice will be like, ‘There go the police, Mama!’ I’m like ‘It’s OK, it’s OK. Don’t make them think we have a reason to be cautious of them.’ Yeah, it’s real.”

Reality doesn’t appeal much to Justice, anyway. She would much rather spend her time roughhousing and tell-

ing fantastical stories The tales Justice weaves aren’t of princesses or the grandeur of some faraway land. Instead, she describes dark forests and wolves barring their teeth, waiting to pounce.

Every story ends the same.

She claps once, as loudly as her small hands can manage, and rubs them together with a definitive, “And then they eat ‘em all up.” * * * “Are you smoking weed in my house, Justin?” his mom, Sharon Weaver, asks, turning from her tray of freshly baked chicken to face her son.

She had recently instated a no smoking rule in the apartment.

He shook his head slowly, indignantly.

“No mama.” He rolled the edges of the joint and put it to his lips. He lit it. “No mama, this is just hash.”

With a disapproving glare, she went back to her dinner.

Sharon recalls her son’s upbringing, a boy who grew to be more like her than she would have liked.

They are unmistakably mother and child. Both of them have well-kept, shoulder-length dreadlocks and the same slow-growing smile.

Neither backs down from a challenge. Both complete their sentences with a goodnatured “You know?” just to make sure that you haven’t missed anything.

Both subscribe to the same addictive personality traits — if they do anything, it’s done 100 percent.

At 52, Sharon just recently got clean. Her addiction to crack cocaine began when Justin was 4 years old.

“I was always trying, praying ‘deliver me.’ I didn’t like the way that I was living,” she says between tears. “It hurt. It hurt really bad that I couldn’t just, as bad as I wanted to, I just couldn’t stop.”

It was at the constant urging of her own mother, the never-ending reminders of who suffered when she used, that eventually drew her away from her addiction.

Throughout Justin’s childhood, there were always drug dealers in and out of the

While Justice may take Justin’s advice during her basketball games, only time will tell as to what life lesson she will learn from him.

house.

Sometimes they were Sharon’s boyfriends. Other times they were just her dealers.

Sometimes they’d give him money, count it out with him.

Justin and his sister lived between homes. His mother’s, when she was well enough to take care of them, and his grandmother’s.

Lately, it seems like the two of them are making up for lost time.

“You eat breakfast today, J?” Sharon leans her head into the dining room where Justin is seated at the table.

He shakes his head no. “You got to start eating better, J. You want a BLT?” He fights a smile, as he tosses back, “You don’t have to feed me, Mommy. I’m not a little baby.”

Sharon is a mother, though, and mothers can’t help but want the best for their kids.

She has watched Justin change in the past year. She says he has stopped hustling for the first time since he was a teenager, that he doesn’t have his hands in the streets.

He’s started to hold down a new job provided by a temp agency.

He doesn’t make much money at this job, though, which scares her. She knows just as well as he does that the

lure of fast cash is his vice, his kryptonite. But she sees him moving forward. Just the act of finding and maintaining a job is progress.

It was a constant battle with her son. How many times could she tell him to get out of the streets before he figured it out? How many more times did he need to get locked up, torn away from his family, before he got the message? How many mistakes of hers did he have to witness before he got back on track?

His life was hanging in the balance and Sharon, probably more than anyone, understood that.

Her brother died as a result of abusing drugs. Her cousin died as a result of abusing drugs. Her son could be next.

“If I was still using, I don’t think Justin would be at this place in his life,” Sharon says.

“Now, I think he sees how hard I try for myself and for him. By him seeing that you can, you can come up. You don’t have to stay. God wants you to be successful. He doesn’t want you to live your life that way.”

Rubbing her hands together in the way that the two of them share, she adds, “Nothing worth having is easy.” * * * Justice’s basketball season

came to a close, the little girl never getting the score her dad had hoped for.

After the game, the family headed to Sharon’s for dinner.

With Justice buckled into the back seat and Stephanie behind the wheel of the Mustang, the family pulled out of the parking lot. They parked the car in front of an ill-lit one story and cut the lights.

Justice’s head was the only thing visible, shifting in the rear windshield.

The front passenger side window rolled down and a man emerged from the house.

As he approached the car, Justice turned to face outside.

She offered a smile, as infectious as ever, and raised her small hand in greeting.

In the front seat, Justin made an exchange. With as long as he had gone keeping his hands clean, tonight he was making a deal. Just to “pay the bills.”

Every time, it is the same rationale — it’s never meant to become a regular occurrence. Not before, not now.

As the baggie exchanged hands, the flickering streetlight illuminated Justin much like the spotlight he imagined following him wherever he went.

His little girl waved both hello and goodbye from the backseat.
