Indiana primary election results, p. 2 LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Hello readers, this is my last print edition as the editor-in-chief of the Indiana Daily Student.

I came into this semester with the goal of continuing to serve our readers and our community and to be sure the IDS was here to keep you informed of the news you deserve to know.

This semester we published an investigation looking into sexual assault

at the Jacobs School of Music as well as an editorial highlighting IU’s handling of public access records requests. These stories, alongside a semester full of responsible journalism, were made possible by the work put in by this amazing staff.

Our main responsibility is to keep the community informed. While sometimes the news we publish provokes a strong response and

may be difficult to read – it’s the truth. This semester I published a letter including the transcript from Professor Monika Herzig after there were allegations that her quotes were not used in context in “Dissonance in Due Process.” I promised at the beginning of the semester to be transparent with our readers about our reporting processes and therefore published the transcript

to show that yes, the quotes were in context. The IDS will continue to promise to be as transparent as possible with our readers in the coming semesters.

Our newsroom is made up of students who are juggling a full semester worth of courses, outside jobs and their work at the IDS. Words cannot express how proud I am of every student who works for the IDS, they in-

spire me each and every your continued support and readership of the Indiana day.

I have full confidence Daily Student. that this summer’s staff will continue to uphold the high standards of the IDS and I wish them the best of luck.

Readers, it has been one of my greatest pleasures to serve as the editor-in-chief for this publication and that is in large part because of you all. From the bottom Izzy Myszak of my heart, thank you for Spring 2022 Editor-in-Chief

Kalao ‘All my dreams are about home’: shooting A Ukrainian refugee shares her journey to safety suspect arrested

Tatiana Nekriach left Kyiv, Ukraine, and fled to Germany almost two months ago.

The 74-year-old Ukrainian refugee just wants to go home.

“I miss my own bed,” she said. “I miss my window view.

I miss my friends most of all. I miss the theater, which I adore. I miss the streets of Kyiv. I feel like a stranger here.”

But her return home depends on the military situation and her safety. She understands the danger that exists. She has many close friends in Kyiv she talks to practically every day who tell her not to dream of coming back before it’s safe.

“They say that it’s too early

for me to go back,” Nekriach said. “But when I started sleeping, after some time, all my dreams are about home, Kyiv and my friends.”

Nekriach is just one of millions of Ukrainians displaced from their homes. As of April 27, about 5.3 million refugees have fled Ukraine since Russian forces invaded the country Feb. 24, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees’ Organizational Data Portal.

Nekriach’s 11-day journey to safety was not simple.

She left with nothing but the clothes on her back and a suitcase containing necessary documents and medicine.

She is currently staying with her sister in Cologne, Germany. Nekriach, a professor in Ukraine, said her for-

mer students helped arrange her evacuation.

“What touched me most was the inordinate, mutual support,” she said. “Everybody tried to help everybody else.”

A local man taking his relatives to Budapest, Hungary, offered to drive Nekriach out of Ukraine. After five days, they reached the Hungarian border. They waited seven hours to cross.

From there, Nekriach traveled by train to stay with her niece in Prague, Czech Republic, who took her to Dresden, Germany. She finally arrived in Cologne by train, three countries and 11 long days after she left home.

“I don’t remember if I saw one smile throughout the whole journey,” she said.

When people on her jour-

ney recognized she was a Ukrainian refugee, they tried to be helpful. One person offered her chocolate. Another offered water. While another carried her suitcase.

Since arriving in Germany, Nekriach has had to completely change her daily routine. She said she misses being active, helping her Ph.D. students, writing lectures or translating works of fiction.

Friends and relatives have tried to help Nekriach however they can. They offer to take Nekriach to museums or cook for her, which she politely declines.

“Life is different for me now,” she said. “And this difference does not please me.

I wish I could work, but not just doing anything — doing what I can do and what I love doing."

Ukrainians all speak about coming home when the war is over, Nekriach said.

“All of the Ukrainians believe that we will win,” she said.

A lot of refugees moved to Polish borders. Nekriach said she saw no signs of panic during her journey. The people were organized.

“The West kept saying that the war is imminent,” she said. “People understood that the threat was real.”

Nekriach said she is grateful to countries like Germany, Poland and the United States for supporting Ukraine. However, she continues to worry about her country every day.

“But strangely enough, I cannot even cry,” she said. “I think it could have been better if I could cry. I’m dry. I’m burnt out.”

Police arrested a 27-yearold Bloomington resident Monday in connection with the shooting at Kalao Nightclub on April 23.

Investigators from the Bloomington Police Department used video surveillance footage from inside the nightclub to identify the shooter as Keiantrea Washington, according to a BPD press release.

Video surveillance shows Washington and one of the victims having an altercation just before Washington produced a handgun and fired multiple times into the crowded nightclub, hitting the 41-year-old man and two others. According to a BPD press release, all three victims were transported to IU Health Bloomington Hospital for treatment.

An arrest warrant for Washington was issued April 25 for multiple felony charges related to the shooting.

Detectives then began surveilling several locations around Monroe County to locate Washington.

On Monday, detectives determined Washington was inside a residence on South Magnolia Court. The Critical Incident Response Team was involved in Washington’s arrest due to the seriousness of the crimes committed and concerns that Washington may be armed.

After speaking with investigators, Washington was transported to the Monroe County Jail and faces one count of attempted murder, two counts of aggravated battery and one count of criminal recklessness — all felonies.

Indiana’s come-from-behind victory secures home series win

By Matthew Byrne matbyrne@iu.edu | @MatthewByrne1

Senior pitcher Bradley Brehmer throws a pitch April 30, 2022, at Bart Kaufman Field. Indiana won its weekend series against Illinois 2-1.

After Indiana baseball earned its first walk-off victory of the season in Friday's home series opener against Illinois, the visitors evened the three-game series on Saturday. The Hoosiers won Sunday’s finale 11-7 after trailing 7-3 earlier in the game, earning their second straight conference series victory as a result.

Indiana sophomore reliever Reese Sharp battled back from a 3-0 count with two outs in the ninth inning Sunday for the game-ending strikeout.

The home crowd at Bart Kaufman Field rose from their seats and cheered for Indiana's seventh win in the team's last 10 games.

"They were incredibly resilient," head coach Jeff Mercer said Sunday.

Indiana junior righthanded pitcher Jack Perkins started the opener for Indiana and pitched a near-quality start, hurling five and two-thirds innings

while allowing two earned runs.

After Perkins’ exit, Illinois scored three unearned runs in the eighth inning to tie the game 6-6.

Though the Hoosiers gave up a three-run lead, they set themselves up to win in walk-off fashion. Freshman Josh Pyne laced a base-hit down the left-field line to deliver the victory.

Senior right-handed pitcher Bradley Brehmer started for Indiana on Saturday and gave up two runs in each of the first, third and fifth innings.

"They don't give any at-bats away, and they put the ball in play," Mercer said Saturday. "They don't strike out, hit the ball the other way with two strikes."

Brehmer was coming off a quality start against Nebraska on April 23, where the senior hurled six innings, allowing one earned run while striking out a season-high 11 batters.

New food truck Bloom Burger opens in Bloomington

By Marissa Meador marnmead@iu.edu | @marissa_meador

Bloom Burger, a food truck featuring elements of ‘50s nostalgia with hamburger and fries options inspired by foods from immigrant communities, had its grand opening April 21 at the Primetime Business Expo.

The truck is owned by Hallie Baumann, an IU graduate with an east asian language and culture studies degree and a degree in Japanese. Bloom Burger was influenced by her great aunt, a Syrian-Jewish chef and author.

“She would lay out this whole buffet of all these amazing different foods that I had never had before,” Baumann said.

Baumann said she asked her great aunt to teach her the Syrian style of cooking, which introduced her to her love of multicultural cuisine.

Baumann was previously a henna artist who owned Inali Henna for 10 years until the COVID-19 pandemic made it impossible for her to practice her business, she said.

“I was floundering for what I would be able to do,”

Baumann said. “And I had made some burgers for a couple of people and they were just sitting there saying ‘You know, I would actually pay for that.’”

Hamid Ali, the owner of food truck Döner Kebab, is a veteran of the industry with eight years of experience operating his truck.

He said people looking to start in the food truck business should understand the extent of the time and hard work involved.

“I don’t have a life beside this food truck,” Ali said.

Ali takes Sundays off, he said, but the rest of his days are spent in the truck. Ali said IU is a major contributor to the food truck industry in Bloomington, and although business has slowed since the pandemic, students helped his business thrive before the pandemic.

Louis Hayes, Baumann’s fiancé, said Baumman faced difficulties finding a company to build her truck because of supply chain issues influenced by the pandemic.

“People weren’t even calling her back,” Hayes said.

The process of building a food truck typically involves modifying a box truck to

include a kitchen. They aren’t made for cross country trips, Hayes said, but Baumann and Hayes had to drive it over a thousand miles back to Indiana after they flew to Miami to have it

assembled.

“She was really having to fight tooth and nail,” Hayes said.

Baumann said she wants her business to introduce people to cultural foods

through the medium of a burger.

Burger options will rotate on and off the menu.

Options include the Gyro Hero, complete with feta and tzatziki, and the Sho-

gun, which features a miso and shoyu-infused patty.

Bloom Burger also sells ice cream from Chocolate Moose, and fries can be Cajun or Chaat Masala spiced, according to its website.

Graduate strike will not affect commencement ceremony

WESTON KILGORE | IDS

Students holds strike signs and chant in front of the Chemistry Building on April 14, 2022. The ongoing Indiana Graduate Workers Coalition-United Electrical Workers strike should have no effect on Indiana University’s spring graduate commencement ceremony May 6 according to multiple graduate workers.

By Natalie Fitzgibbons natfitzg@iu.edu | @NatalieFitz9

The ongoing Indiana Graduate Workers Coalition-United Electrical Work-

ers United strike should have no effect on Indiana University’s spring graduate commencement ceremony May 6, according to multiple graduate workers.

As of Tuesday, the IGWC-UE voted to continue picketing for another week, which will last until the next vote on May 3.

Graduate student Zara

Anwarzai, a Ph.D. candidate in Philosophy and Cognitive Science who is a co-organizer of the strike, said disrupting commencement in a negative fashion is not the goal of the strike.

The picketing graduate students have no intention to disrupt the commencement, Anwarzai said. In fact, they are in full support of all students, whether graduate or undergraduate, attending commencement. Students who choose not to attend commencement will be doing so of their own will, Anwarzai said.

“Our priorities are undergraduate education and education in general,” Anwarzai said. “We’ve always been trying to improve the status of education for undergrads and grads across the board. So that would be antithetical to our mission.”

If graduate workers vote

to extend the strike again and continue picketing during commencement ceremonies, Anwarzai said their goal is not to discourage future students from choosing IU for their education. The purpose is to inform parents and students of the financial issues they are facing as graduate students.

“If we’re picketing, it’s not to interrupt that, it’s to let parents and students know that their tuition dollars they’ve been paying have not been going to the classroom,” Anwarzai said.

Although the graduate students are in full support of their friends and colleagues graduating, some find the administration to be hypocritical when it comes to the celebration of graduate students.

“It is kind of hypocritical of IU to talk about and present us with all these awards

and gratitude, and talk to us about how great it is that we’re graduating,” graduate student Denizhan Pak, who is striking, said, “When at the same time saying you also don’t deserve to eat or live in a decent place.”

The IGWC-UE recognizes the importance of commencement as a way to celebrate all of the work graduates have put toward their education. Rory Barron, a first-year Ph.D. student in gender studies who is striking, said that attempting to take action that could affect it would be against supporting graduate and undergraduate education.

“I feel like commencement is great for students who do want to participate in it and it is a big accomplishment to be able to graduate with a Ph.D. and for undergraduate students,” Barron said.

73 COVID-19 from April 21-27, a 217.4% increase

By Nic Napier npnapier@iu.edu | @nicnapier1

IU-Bloomington reported 73 cases of COVID-19 among faculty, staff and students from April 21-27, according to the IU COVID-19 dashboard. Of those cases, 54 came from students, and 19 came from faculty and staff.

This is a 217.4% increase from last week’s 23 reported COVID-19 cases.

IU-Bloomington closed its in-person asymptomatic testing facilities April 4 due to dropping COVID-19 cases, according to a report from IU Today. Asymptomatic testing switched exclusively to drop-off testing where students can receive test kits from designated locations and follow instructions to have their test kit registered before use.

Designated locations to pick up COVID-19 tests include the Indiana Memorial Union, the center building

of McNutt Quad and the Student Health Center, according to the IU COVID-19 website. Students may pick up to two test kits at a time.

Symptomatic testing for COVID-19 will continue to be in person, according to IU Today. Students who wish to sign up for inperson symptomatic testing can do so using the IU Symptom Checker.

IU continues to recommend everyone receive a vaccination and a booster shot. People ages 5 and older are eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. Adults ages 18 and older are eligible for a Moderna booster five months after the initial two-shot series, and everyone ages 12 and older is eligible for a Pfizer booster five months after their initial two-shot series. Adults ages 18 and older who received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine can get a booster dose at least two months after their first shot.

The Supreme Court upholds law to exclude Puerto Ricans from benefits

By Cashmere Booker cabooker@iu.edu | @yafavsweater

The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the differential treatment of Puerto Rican residents April 21.

The court ruled that Congress may continue to exclude Puerto Rican residents from federal benefits.

This includes disability benefits such as Supplemental Security Income (SSI), which provides direct payments to poor and disabled American citizens.

SSI benefits are available to American citizens living in all 50 states. This also includes Washington, D.C. and the Northern Mariana Islands, but not the territories of Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam.

The justices ruled 8-1 in favor of reversing a lower court’s ruling that the 1972 decision by Congress to exclude Puerto Rico from the SSI program violated the U.S. Constitution.

The case involved Jose Luis Vaello Madero, a disabled 67-year-old man who received SSI benefits when he lived in New York.

Madero lost eligibility when he moved to Puerto Rico in 2013. The U.S. government sued him in federal court in 2017, seeking more than $28,000 for SSI payments he received after moving.

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

A man holding a Puerto Rican flag is pictured Oct. 15, 2021, in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

The ruling excludes an estimated 300,000 people on the island from the program who would otherwise qualify for benefits.

“Enough of this colonial status that discriminates against us and affects our quality of life,” Pedro Pierluisi, Puerto Rico’s governor,

said in response to the ruling. “The only and the best solution is statehood.”

Liberal-leaning Justice Sonia Sotomayor, whose

parents were born in Puerto Rico, was the only dissenter.

“In my view, there is no rational basis for Congress to treat needy citizens liv-

ing anywhere in the United States so differently from others,” Sotomayor said. “To hold otherwise, as the Court does, is irrational and antithetical to the very nature of the SSI program and the equal protection of citizens guaranteed by the Constitution. I respectfully dissent.”

Puerto Ricans also receive unequal treatment when it comes to other federal programs such as Medicaid or Medicare.

Jennifer Gonzalez, Puerto Rico’s representative in Congress, said the exclusion was an “unbelievable discrimination” that keeps more people in extreme poverty.

Although people born in Puerto Rico are just as American as those in the states, the U.S. has continually deprived Puerto Rico and its citizens of economic and political livelihood.

For more than 100 years, the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico has been subjected to disparate treatment of federal aid and other safetynet programs despite being poorer than any state in the U.S. The Biden administration has publicly stated its support for extending the law to allow SSI payments to Puerto Rico, but the decision is ultimately up to Congress.

Why are people afraid of critical race theory?

By Maria McComish mwoodmcc@iu.edu | @mccomish_maria

The Florida Department of Education banned more than 50 math textbooks from its schools last week.

It claims some of the books contain prohibited topics about critical race theory.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is supporting the extra measures being taken which are creating divides in both the meaning of critical race theory and the unifying effect it is meant to have.

“The woke class wants to teach kids to hate each other, rather than teaching them how to read,” DeSantis said to the state’s board of education in June 2021, shortly before they banned critical race theory from being taught in Florida schools.

Critical race theory acknowledges the deep-rooted racism in our society by immersing topics such as slavery and colonization into the curriculum. This is common in colleges across the U.S. but not as much in the younger classrooms.

University of California, Los Angeles School of Law and Columbia Law School professor Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw played a part in developing the concept.

“It is a way of seeing, attending to, accounting for, tracing and analyzing the ways that race is produced,

the ways that racial inequality is facilitated, and the ways that our history has created these inequalities that now can be almost effortlessly reproduced unless we attend to the existence of these inequalities,” Crenshaw said in an interview with the New York Times.

The way the definition of critical race theory has been misconstrued can destroy the original intent of creating a safe space for minorities.

“The rhetoric allows for racial equity laws, demands and movements to be framed as aggression and discrimination against white people,” Crenshaw said.

This is exactly what the Florida Department of Education is framing it as. It laid out its thoughts regarding the situation in a press release.

“When it comes to education, other states continue to follow Florida’s lead as we continue to reinforce parents’ rights by focusing on providing their children with a world-class education without the fear of indoctrination or exposure to dangerous and divisive concepts in our classrooms,” Commissioner of Education Richard Corcoran said in the release.

Critical race theory was never meant to be a divisive and hateful topic. Legal

ILLUSTRATION BY LAWREN ELDERKIN

scholar Derrick Bell referred to as the godfather of critical race theory dedicated his life to studying racism as a permanent feature of America.

In an interview at his New

York University Law School office, Bell said he elicits a different reaction when explaining his thoughts on race to Black groups rather than white groups.

“It reaffirms that it is not

their fault,” he said. “It is an affirmation of themselves and not a basis for despair.”

There is something fundamentally backward about white people using their fragility as grounds to abol-

ish a concept beneficial to all marginalized groups. It is especially evil for the oppressor to rob Black people of the opportunity to feel recognized after generations of trauma and abuse.

IU Soul Revue honors alumnus Mike Burton

By Tiera Howleit thowleit@iu.edu | @officialtiera

The African American Arts Institute held a 50th anniversary banquet celebration for the IU Soul Revue on April 22 and honored former alumnus Mike Burton.

The event was held at the J.W. Marriott in Indianapolis as one of the two-part events for the Soul Revue’s anniversary. The concert was last Saturday at the Madame Walker Theater in Indianapolis and was such a hit it sold out in advance.

Founded in 1971 by Portia Maultsby, under the leadership of Herman C. Hudson, the Soul Revue has a rich history on IU’s campus.

For 50 years, the IU Soul Revue has existed for students to hone in on their musical talents. From singers to technicians, hundreds of students have been able to be a part of this wonderful ensemble.

Members of the original Soul Revue were in attendance and represented their

era and the emergence of the Soul Revue from 1971 to 1972.

As a part of the tradition of this celebration within the African American Arts Institute, Burton was honored with the Herman C. Hudson Award.

Burton was recognized because he — a renowned saxophonist — has made significant contributions to the world of music since leaving IU and being a member of the Soul Revue from the late 1990s to the early 2000s.

The Herman C. Hudson award was created to recognize those individuals who have taken their wealth of knowledge and experience from AAAI and gone on to make a difference in the world.

Burton has certainly made a difference in the lives of young Black boys and girls who aspire to one day be in his shoes as he is quite accomplished in the world of music.

Burton said he was truly

shocked to receive the award and recognition.

“I remember receiving a call from (AAAI director) Dr. Sykes stating I would be the recipient of this award and I immediately thought, ‘Why

me?’” Burton said.

Burton has gone on to perform with Black music legends such as Patti LaBelle, Anita Baker, Mary J. Blige and Jill Scott.

“The Soul Revue has a gi-

ant place in my heart,” Burton said. “It truly enhanced my time here at IU and even my family.”

Burton met his wife in Soul Revue, Chef Razia Sabour, and the couple has been

going strong ever since.

Burton said he owes a lot to Soul Revue and is truly grateful for the experiences and connections he has gained as a result of being a member.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 struck out just three Illini batters on Saturday, walked four and allowed one home run.

"Maybe Brad wasn't as sharp as he has been," Mercer said. "But we also had plenty of opportunities to help make plays behind those guys, and we didn't do that."

Illinois scored 10 runs in the sixth inning off eight hits to take a 16-0 lead. The Hoosiers played

catchup for the rest of Saturday’s game.

Indiana scored eight runs in the final two innings, but fell 18-10 as Illinois evened the series.

Freshman Evan Goforth batted 3-for-3 with a teamhigh five runs batted in.

Senior catcher Peter Serruto also hit his first home run as a Hoosier.

On Sunday, Indiana sent out traditional relievers to the mound for

a bullpen game. Senior right-hander Braydon Tucker started and, similarly to Brehmer, allowed six earned runs in his outing.

By the fifth inning, Indiana was behind 7-3 with only two hits. Freshman Carter Mathison accounted for all three runs, hitting a three-run home run in the first inning.

The Hoosiers came back during the bottom of

the fifth inning, leading off with six consecutive hits and Mathison’s second home run of the day. After his first career multi-home run game, Mathison is one home run shy of tying the program record for home runs by a freshman.

“You're seeing the power come because he does have such a large engine and the ceiling is so high,” Mercer said. “He's tightening his swing up, he's get-

ting a better feel for the speed of the game.”

Two batters later, junior Matthew Ellis capped off an eight-run half-inning with a 465-foot home run to right field.

Following Indiana’s surge, neither team scored for the remainder of the game. Relievers Sharp and junior Ty Bothwell combined for seven innings pitched without allowing an earned run. Mercer

praised Sharp’s play in the closing stages after Sunday’s win.

“When a kid's having the performance of a lifetime, just get out of his way,” Mercer said.

Indiana improves to 20-24 overall and 6-9 in conference play with the series victory. Next weekend, the Hoosiers will face Michigan in a three-game series in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

KARA’S CORNER

TikTok is ruining our understanding of what ‘health’ tips are helpful Kara Acinapuro (she/her) is a junior studying media advertising.

Since the rebranding of Musical.ly to TikTok and its major growth in 2018, TikTok’s popularity has skyrocketed, and it is now one of the most popular social media platforms.

Certain features of TikTok make it different from other popular social media apps, such as using notable “sounds,” a green screen feature and a focus on short videos.

Many TikTok videos also focus on educating audiences. Some are quite beneficial, like teachers adapting their lessons into TikTok videos to appeal to more students, or healthcare workers documenting overwhelming work during the COVID-19 pandemic. These uses of TikTok are actually helpful in spreading valuable information.

However, TikTok also has some harmful aspects.

It has propelled a new way of thinking upon its users.

There are way too many videos consisting of strategies on how to change certain aspects of yourself.

One example is how there are countless videos under the hashtag #hipdips of creators offering workouts that target fixing “hip dips,” which are inward curves below your hips.

These kinds of videos are inherently problematic be-

cause they suggest hip dips are a problem that must be fixed. However, if I had not downloaded TikTok, I probably could have gone the rest of my life without ever hearing the phrase hip dips.

Though users posting these videos may have the skewed perception that these “tips” are helpful, they are actually condescending and damaging to some viewers’ self-esteem.

And according to Women’s Health, the idea that hip dips are not normal is incorrect. That subtle inward curve just below women’s hips is totally natural and seems to depend on genetics.

Although these videos promote exercise, they cause more harm than good. Encouraging exercise should be about showing the long-term health benefits, not comparing your physical appearance to others.

TikTok promotes unrealistic beauty standards more than any other platform.

Many of its other trends are rooted in toxicity as well, such as the ”I ain’t never seen two pretty best friends, it’s always one of them gotta be ugly” and the “I was the girl he didn’t want, so I became the girl he couldn’t have” trends. These are both opportunities for users to degrade women and “brag” about their physical appearance — often only featuring white people, western

beauty standards and the “perfect” face or body.

But no one should have to think they are less valuable because they do not have their idea of a “TikTok” body.

According to TikTok’s official website, there are protocols in place that are supposed to prevent content that does not “support the positive, inclusive and safe experience” TikTok claims it provides users.

Such rules include that weight management products are only allowed to be advertised to users aged 18 and older. Others include restrictions on advertisements talking about weight loss and weight management, where under the guidelines, ads cannot foster negative body image or negative relationships with food for users.

These regulations may seem effective, but they

don’t cover the creators that are not posting for money, but because these content creators think they are providing useful workout tips.

There are also so many TikTok videos that get reposted on Instagram, making harmful information more widespread.

Since I am 20 years old, I can recognize and research that having hip dips is neither dangerous for your health nor something

you need to fix. However, I worry for the kids growing up on TikTok. I am so thankful my childhood was not so heavily dominated by social media like today’s younger generation is.

Though it does have some body positive communities, I hope TikTok can someday become a less destructive place with minimal toxicity. kacinapu@iu.edu

JARED’S JOURNAL

American workers should be working less Jared Quigg (he/him) is a sophomore studying journalism and political science.

Americans should be working less.

Alright, so I might be a lazy and entitled college student — but economist John Maynard Keynes wasn’t.

He wrote an essay in 1930 called “Economic Possibilities for our Grandchildren,” predicting that by the end of the next hundred years — around 2030 — humanity would have accumulated so much wealth that it would only be necessary for people to work just 15-hour weeks, three hours each day.

I never want another word from anyone about Marxism being “utopian” when a bourgeois theorist like Keynes was writing about three hour workdays in the middle of the Great Depression. Keynes certainly wasn’t a radical leftist, but perhaps one would like a more conservative opinion about the possibilities of working less. How about Richard Nixon?

In 1956, then-Vice President Nixon foresaw a fourday workweek and that Republican policies would eventually allow workers

to work less and have more time for their families. Good old conservative, family values.

Keynes, Nixon and Marx all agree: average workers should be working less. It’s not just lazy, entitled college students who think so — this is bona fide bipartisanship.

But perhaps you’re skeptical. Can society afford people working less? If we can afford to work less, by how much? Companies around the world are experimenting with shorter work weeks, and it’s producing great results.

From 2015 to 2019, two trials were conducted involving 2,500 workers in Iceland working 35 instead of 40 hours per week without a reduction in pay. The results showed workers had increased well-being and less stress while maintaining productivity. Since the trials, 86% of Iceland’s working population have either moved to shorter hours or have the right to negotiate doing so.

But if you’re a privileged ingrate like I am, whose only job is apparently writing about how much work sucks, working 35 hours per week still seems like a lot.

Can’t humanity do better?

New Zealand says society can. In 2018, New Zealand company Perpetual Guardian embarked on a twomonth experiment with a four-day workweek. Workers would work 30 hours but be paid for 37.5 hours as before.

The results were stunning.

Workers reported having less stress, a better work-life balance and increased productivity.

The Perpetual Guardian experiment was so successful, the four-day work week is now permanent. Its success even inspired multinational corporation Unilever New Zealand to begin a four-day workweek trial in 2020 with its employees.

In other parts of the world, similar experiments with shorter workweeks are seeing promising results.

Microsoft workers in Japan saw boosted productivity after trying a four-day workweek. At the start of 2022, government employees in the United Arab Emirates switched from working five days to four-and-a-half.

Now, you are, I’m sure, a good, patriotic American.

As Americans are we really going to let the rest of the world show us up? Shouldn’t

ILLUSTRATION BY DONYÁ COLLINS

American workers get to enjoy similar benefits to some workers around the world?

There is some hope in the West. In the land of Hollywood elites and lazy, entitled millennials, U.S. Rep. Mark Takano introduced a yet-to-be-heard bill in July 2021 that would reduce the workweek from 40 to 32 hours. Yes, I know the conservative reader probably hates California because it just doesn’t produce Ronald

Reagans like it used to, but consider it.

It’s no secret many Americans dislike their jobs. If studies around the world seem to show people can work less without a reduction in pay, we should emulate that. Workers would have more time for family, seeing friends and sleeping in until noon on Fridays.

Most importantly, they’d have more time for not working.

The capitalists will complain about increased labor costs and make all sorts of threats about what they might do if a four-day work week is passed nationwide.

But it’s time the rich minority stopped dominating the lives of the working majority.

Workers must take control over their own lives. Working less and having more free time is the first step. jaquigg@iu.edu

CLEAR CUT

The IDS taught me important lessons classes did not Chris Sciortino (he/him) is a junior studying theater and public relations.

During my sophomore year winter break, I was scrolling through a list of extracurriculars to start in the new semester. I checked everything from intramural sports to a capella groups, and nothing was piquing my interest.

That was until my friend sent me a link to apply as a writer for the Indiana Daily Student. I toiled around with the idea, questioning my writing skills and competence in covering important topics, and reluctantly submitted my application.

Two days later, I started the orientation process.

A year and 22 columns later, I feel lucky to have learned valuable lessons and formed heartwarming memories. Each has given me invaluable tools to take into my professional life.

Extracurriculars are some of the most important experiences in your college career. They can teach you invaluable lessons. Anything from team sports to community service can give you

skills, like complex problem solving, time management and sportsmanship, that aren’t taught in the classroom, not to mention fond memories you’ll have for years to come.

The first memory I have of the IDS was the orientation process or “general assignments” as we call it. It was there that I understood how important ethics and integrity are to journalism, regardless of for which desk you write.

“Seek truth and report it” from the Society of Professional Journalists code of ethics rings in my head every time I start to write something. For reporters, remaining impartial and reporting situations objectively is integral to covering things like breaking news.

That phrase was also how I knew I wasn’t cut out to be a hard news reporter.

I started my process on the arts desk, and I received constant feedback that my stories couldn’t intersect with my personal life. How was I supposed to see a situation objectively and not let my personal opinion interfere with my writing? I was

too opinionated and too stubborn to be truly objective.

So, my editor recommended I move to the opinion desk where I could choose to cover stories and develop theses to advocate for specific points of view.

That was the perfect fit for me.

Through this process, I learned that you have to be true to your passions and ambitions no matter what. I could have continued writing for a different desk, remaining impartial and objective. But I chose to follow what was inspiring to me and would motivate me to write week after week.

Covering everything from fake news to getting sick care at IU, I had endless topics to write about in my first year.

I realized how important structure is to any writing process. Cycles of pitching, editing and fact-checking kept me accountable to have my columns well-researched and effectively argued, all by a deadline.

My editors taught me timeliness and factuality were essential but reminded me not to sacrifice my au-

thenticity. I was encouraged to write articles that questioned the status quo and was always reminded of student journalism’s effect on societal change. We see this especially with our coverage of the graduate student strike. Without our voice, the stories of graduate workers would not be mainstream.

I also learned that regardless of what other people say, your opinion is your opinion. I’ve received an equal split of hate and praise

for my columns, but I’ve also gained the ability to stand firm in my beliefs. As long as I have a compelling argument, my opinion is worth just as much as anyone else’s.

I am so grateful that I chose an extracurricular that taught me as much as the IDS has. I encourage everyone to take the time to find a similar activity that will help them in their professional future. Not all of them will teach you how to eliminate

the Oxford comma from your writing style — AP style is still the bane of my existence — but many will equip you with the extra knowledge you need to succeed.

I am grateful for each of my editors, management teams and columnists I’ve worked alongside. You are all inspiring and wonderful people. And to each of you who have read my columns, thank you. csciorti@iu.edu

BASEBALL

Freshmen perform strongly in second Big Ten series win of season

By Kevin Vera kevvera@iu.edu | @thekevinvera

OLIVIA BIANCO | IDS

Freshman third baseman Josh Pyne throws to first base April 30, 2022, at Bart Kaufman Field. Indiana’s record moved to 20-24 with its win over Illinois on May 1. Indiana has won seven of its last 10 games.

Indiana baseball took two of three games against Illinois over the weekend to capture its second series win in a row and its second series win against a Big Ten opponent.

Indiana has now won seven of its last 10 games, and much of Indiana’s recent success can be attributed to its freshman class, all of whom have seen a productive month of baseball. Carter Mathison has 13 home runs, the secondmost of all Hoosiers this season, and Josh Pyne has the second-most RBIs of the team with 44.

In three games against Illinois, Indiana saw five different freshmen enter the starting lineup. The young group for Indiana now looks to carry their recent success in the final month of regular-season baseball to earn a spot in the Big Ten tournament.

Even before the series started, one Hoosier freshman was already making headlines. Last week, Josh Pyne was named Big Ten Freshman of the Week.

Pyne stayed strong entering this week. In the Hoosiers’ against the Fighting Illini Friday, Pyne brought in the winning run in the ninth

inning with an RBI single down the left field line.

“I saw him in high school, but I didn’t know the kind of player he was,” Indiana head coach Jeff Mercer said. “I thought he’d be a very fine player, but to see him do the things he’s doing right now — I had no idea.”

Later in the series, another freshman won the Sunday game for Indiana.

Carter Mathison went 2-4 in the final day of the series with two home runs on the day.

Mathison’s home run total this season is now at 13. He’s just one shy of the freshman home run record currently held by former Hoosier Alex Dickerson, who hit 14 home runs in 2009.

Mathison said he wasn’t aware of the record heading into Sunday, and he just looks for good at-bats when he’s at the plate.

“That’s never been on my mind,” Mathison said.

“It’s the first time I’ve heard of the record, to be honest.

I just look for base hits and then when it goes over, it goes over.”

In the three games against Illinois, Indiana freshmen batted a combined 19-45 with a .422 collective batting average. With strong defensive efforts from

freshmen Max Johnson and Evan Goforth and offensive production from Mathison, Pyne and Brock Tibbitts, the group has helped their team all year long.

“We wanted to allow those young guys to grow up and play on a successful team,” Mercer said about his freshmen class this year.

“They are the bedrock foundation of the program.”

Indiana is in the last four weeks of its season and is currently fighting for a topeight spot in the Big Ten standings. With that standing, Indiana would be prime to take a trip to Omaha for the championship in late May. Indiana now looks toward a three-game away series against Michigan next weekend in Ann Arbor.

As the team looks to continue their recent success on the field, Mercer said he expects his team to carry on the same message that they’ve had all season long.

“As long as they’re doing the best they can, as long as they’re following the plan, if you win, you win. If you lose, you lose,” Mercer said “You don’t change the way you coach if things aren’t going your way, you don’t change the way you coach if they are going your way.

That’s the monotony, but also the success or failure, of baseball.”

MEN’S GOLF

Indiana finishes 9th at Big Ten Championships

By Austin Platt auplatt@iu.edu | @AustinPlatter15

Indiana men’s golf began postseason play with a ninth place finish out of the 14 teams competing in the Big Ten Championship this past weekend at The Pete Dye Course in French Lick, Indiana.

Indiana finished with a total team score of 903, 39-over par after 54 holes were played in total. The Hoosiers finished 18 strokes behind the winner, top-seed Illinois.

It was an unpredictable tournament, as Maryland, the 14 seed, finished in third place, just two strokes behind Illinois. The third seed, Ohio State, finished twelfth after a second place finish last weekend at the Kepler Intercollegiate.

“As far as our performance, maybe I can grade us to a C,” Indiana head coach Mike Mayer said. “Maybe.”

Senior Mitch Davis continued his strong spring season by finishing in the top-15 with a score of 223, 7-over par. It’s the third time this spring he finished at the top of the Indiana leaderboard, with the other two times coming at the Boilermaker Invitational and the Nexus Collegiate. Davis also propelled the Hoosiers to a second straight Big Ten Match Play Championship with a 3-0 weekend to begin the spring slate.

Mayer said Davis did a nice job not letting the ferocious conditions beat him down and said he thinks Davis has a lot of potential going into next season.

“I think he’s right on the cusp of potentially doing some really really big things,” Mayer said.

After round one Friday, sophomore Clay Merchent led Indiana by breaking par and shooting a round of 1-under 71. Merchent made birdie putts at holes No. 7, 9, and 15 to finish the day inside the top-10. As a team, Indiana stood at seventh place after the first day, shooting an overall score of 293, 5-over par.

Although Friday was Indiana’s best round of the tournament, Mayer said there was much to be desired following the first day.

“We didn’t play well in round one, but at the same time we didn’t wound ourselves too bad,” Mayer said.

The Hoosiers followed the first round up with back-toback rounds of 17-over 305 to close out the tournament.

In the second round, Davis bounced back after a first round 77 with a second round of 69 for the best Indiana round of the entire tournament. He had a team-high six birdies to tie Merchent for the team lead after two rounds.

Davis’ score of 69 was also tied for the lowest round of the day for any Big Ten golfer,

matching Iowa’s Ronan Kleu.

Davis was just one of eight players to shoot 69 or lower in either of the first two days of the tournament.

“We knew day two was moving day, unfortunately we moved in the wrong direction,” Mayer said. “Mitch Davis came back as the wind really picked up and shot an outstanding 69, but we can’t survive an 82 by our number one man in Drew Salyers.”

Salyers paced Indiana in the final round with a 74, with circles on the scorecard at the second and sixteenth hole. He finished the tournament 15-

over and tied for 48th.

Davis shot another 77 in the third round despite recording four birdies. Three of those birdies came during the first six holes as he began his round on the back nine, just like the rest of the team both Saturday and Sunday.

“The win was consistently brutal throughout the day. It started much earlier than the forecast and got much worse than the forecast,” Mayer said.

He also noted Indiana had trouble earlier in the year with the wind at the Nexus Collegiate in the Bahamas.

The Hoosiers were the

only team in the field who didn’t shoot worse Sunday compared to Saturday. Mayer attributed that to the team’s resilience, but he said it also showed how bad Saturday’s performance was.

Mayer said he also talked to other teams after the final round, and the general consensus was everyone was thrilled to be done playing golf.

Indiana was once again without junior Noah Gillard, who is out with an arm injury, and was also without junior Eric Berggren, who suffered a wrist injury. Berg-

gren, who led Indiana at the Butler Spring Invitational, would have definitely been in consideration for a spot in the starting lineup with Gillard out.

Indiana came into the event ranked No. 60 in the latest GolfWeek rankings, and with this result, the team will end up squarely on the bubble for an at-large bid. Indiana will find out if they receive an at-large bid Wednesday at 4 p.m., when the 2022 NCAA D1 Men’s Golf Selection Show airs on the Golf Channel. More information can be found here.

WOMEN’S GOLF

Indiana’s star Aine Donegan qualifies for NCAA Ann Arbor Regional

By Will Foley wtfoley@iu.edu | @foles24

Indiana women’s golf star freshman Aine Donegan earned a bid for an individual spot in the NCAA Regionals. She has been placed in the Ann Arbor Regional.

Donegan’s bid stems from a highly successful freshman season. She set the Indiana freshman and single-season record in

strokes average with 72.92, had four top-10 individual finishes and won the Courtney Cole Invitational in October 2021.

Donegan is just the fourth Hoosier in program history to qualify for the NCAA Regionals. She joins the company of Erin Harper (2018), Debbie Lee (1989) and Tracy Chapman (1988).

Additionally, Donegan was named second-team All-Big Ten early Wednes-

day. She shared the Big Ten Co-Women’s Golfer of the Week award with Nebraska sophomore Michaela Vavrova on Oct. 6.

Throughout the nine events Indiana played this season, Donegan played in all 26 rounds. She led the team in scoring at the conclusion of each event.

Donegan will compete against Eastern Kentucky University senior Ragnhildur Kristinsdottir, Creigh-

ton University freshman Katherine Lemke, Northern Illinois University sophomore Jasmine Ly, Old Dominion University senior Jana Melichova and University of Notre Dame sophomore Chloe Schiavone.

The Ann Arbor Regional will consist of a 54-hole tournament from May 9 to 11. Only the top two scoring individuals will advance to the NCAA Championships from May 20 to 25.

Indiana softball loses 1-2 against Illinois in final home series of 2022

By Griffin Healy healygr@iu.edu | @TheGriffinHealy

The Indiana softball team finished 1-2 over the weekend, losing against Illinois in its last series at Andy Mohr Field.

The Hoosiers lost the first game to the Fighting Illini on Friday 6-4. Senior designated player Brittany Ford put the Hoosiers on board first with one run batted in for a 1-0 during the bottom of the first inning. Junior pinch runner Tatum Hayes scored on a passed ball in the bottom of the second inning to extend the Hoosiers’ lead to 2-0.

Illinois freshman catcher and designated player Paige Berkmeyer hit a sacrifice fly ball to cut the lead to 2-1 in the top of the third inning.

Ford responded for Indiana with a two-run home run.

She extended the lead to 4-1 in the bottom of the fifth inning.

“Britt has been such a bright spot,” head coach Shonda Stanton said Friday.

“It’s been fun to watch her grow into her role with this team.”

In the top of the sixth inning, Illinois junior right fielder Kelley Ryono hit a two-run RBI to cut Indiana’s lead to 4-3. In the same inning, Illinois senior Kailee Powell hit a double to tie the game and force extra innings.

In the top of the eighth inning, Ryono hit an RBI single to give the Illinis their first lead at 5-4. Ryono scored the final run of the night and secured the win in the series opener.

Indiana celebrated its senior day on Saturday, as the team honored Ford, senior second baseman Juvia Davis, senior pitcher Natalie Foor, senior pitcher Taylor Askland and graduate student third baseman Grayson Radcliffe before the game.

The Hoosiers were shut out 2-0 after Ryono hit a tworun double in the top of the first inning for the Illini.

“We competed really hard today, but we just weren’t able to answer in the circle.” Stanton said on Saturday.

Indiana won the last game of the series on Sunday 3-2. After seven score-

less innings, the game went into extra innings.

In the bottom of the 10th inning, Indiana sophomore first baseman and pinch hitter Grace Lorsung bunted and secured a run that was later negated due to an issue with the lineup. Lorsung illegally substituted for fresh-

man first baseman Brianna Copeland and the umpires were not made aware of the change.

“We didn’t enter Grace, that’s on us as a coaching staff,” Stanton said. “Those two runs scored should’ve been the nail in the coffin.”

In the top of the 11th in-

ning, Illinois scored two runs from a two-run RBI double from Powell.

In the bottom of the 11th inning, Ford hit a three-run RBI double to win the game in her final at-bat at Andy Mohr Field.

“There’s no other way I would’ve rather ended my

career here at IU,” Ford said.

“I didn’t know if it was out, so I just started running.”

Indiana will play at Nebraska for its final threegame weekend series of the regular season before the Big Ten Tournament from May 12-14 in East Lansing, Michigan.

Indiana’s seniors exit Andy Mohr Field in memorable fashion with walk-off win

Senior pitcher Natalie Foor throws a pitch against Illinois on April 30, 2022 at Andy Mohr Field. Indiana will play Nebraska in a three-game road series this weekend before the Big Ten Tournament begins.

Indiana softball concluded its home-series finale this weekend with an 11th inning walk-off win over Illinois. The series marked the last time the Hoosiers’ seniors took Andy Mohr Field.

In a pitchers duel between Illinois senior Sydney Sickles and Indiana freshman Heather Johnson, both teams entered the 11th inning scoreless. The Fighting Illini scored two runs, putting pressure on the Hoosiers.

With two outs and the bases loaded, Indiana senior utility player Brittany Ford stepped up to the plate for her final at-bat in Bloomington.

She sent a ball over Illinois junior Danielle Davis’ head, scoring all three baserunners for a 3-2 walk-off win.

“There’s no other way I would’ve rather ended it here,” Ford said. “Everything feels like it has come full circle with that moment.”

Ford is one of five seniors on the Hoosiers’ roster, joined by pitchers Taylor Askland

MEN’S TRACK AND FIELD

and Natalie Foor, utility player Juvia Davis and infielder Grayson Radcliffe.

“They’re a special group,” Indiana head coach Shonda Stanton said. “It’s been so incredibly fun to watch them grow into young women.”

Indiana’s seniors have had constant success on the field, and it starts with Radcliffe.

Transferring from Marshall University in 2018, Radcliffe has been a two-time All-Big Ten Second Team selection and has been a veteran presence for the youthful Hoosiers.

Foor, who earned the win by pitching the final two outs Sunday, has battled through injuries in her career. In 2020, she missed her sophomore season, and has missed a large portion of this season as well.

Davis made an immediate impact on the program, appearing in 43 games in her freshman year. She stapled herself as an infielder starter as of late this season.

Askland has seen limited time as a Hoosier, pitching 8.2 innings in her four years

of play.

Ford, Sunday’s game-winner, has worked her way up for a position in the lineup.

Once a player making minimal appearances, mostly from pinch-hitting, Ford has become an everyday starter and a key batter for this season’s team.

“Brittany’s growth has been incredible in all phases,” Stanton said. “We call her ‘Big Clutch.’ Talk about an everyday hero.”

The senior class played 52 home games together as their sophomore season was shortened by COVID-19. The team had a 34-18 record at Andy Mohr Field over their time at Indiana.

While their careers at Andy Mohr Field are over, the seniors and the rest of the team still have unfinished business.

The Hoosiers close out their regular season at Nebraska next weekend, and have postseason goals on their minds.

“We’re gonna try to get some quality wins next weekend,” Ford said. “We want to take that momentum into the Big Ten Tournament.”

By Matt Press mtpress@iu.edu | @MatthewPress23

Multiple members of Indiana men’s track and field found success competing in the 126th annual Penn Relays, one of the largest collegiate track meets in the nation, April 28-30.

Things got off to a hot start Thursday when freshman Sean Mockler took second place in the hammer throw. His mark of 68.68 meters not only was a personal best but also broke the Indiana program record.

On Friday, the Hoosiers’ sprint medley relay team put up a historic performance. The quartet of junior Antonio Laidler, graduate student Kenny Benton, redshirt senior Rikkoi Brathwaite and freshman Camden Marshall ran a time of 3:17.39 to take first place in the event and also

break the Indiana program record.

Brathwaite, who is no stranger to breaking school records, said he was honored to bring more success to the program.

“It was a great feeling to break another school record and make IU proud,” Brathwaite said. “I was really ecstatic and pumped my hand up in the air, which is something I don’t normally do.”

Success in field events continued when junior Grayson Rolen picked up a third-place finish in the high jump with a personalbest height of 2.09 meters.

Sophomore Adam Strouf placed fourth in the shot put with a mark of 17.14 meters.

Later in the competition, graduate student Jyles Ettiene nabbed a fourth-place finish in the high jump championship with a mark

of 1.76 meters.

Brathwaite continued his impressive performance on Saturday, the final day of the meet, with a win in the 100-meter dash finals. His time of 10.28 seconds was good for a season-best and his first Penn Relays Championship win.

Despite two gold medals over the weekend, Brathwaite said he was not entirely satisfied.

“We have a lot more work to do, and 10.28 is not where I need to be at,” Brathwaite said. “But it should get me a regional mark, and I’m happy for that.”

To conclude the meet, the 4x400 meter team of senior Shaton Vaughn, junior Micah Camble, Laidler and Benton took fifth with a time of 3:08.86.

The Hoosiers will conclude their regular season May 6 in Bloomington in the Billy Hayes Invitational.

Indiana women’s track and field traveled to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to compete in the Penn Relays against 181 schools on April 28-30. The Penn Relays was the penultimate meet of the regular season and facing that amount of schools was just what Indiana needed going into the postseason.

The meet began Thursday evening with the women’s 3000-meter steeplechase.

Sophomore Alyssa Skorge finished in 20th place with a time of 10:44.60.

In the 5000-meter run, freshman Mikaela Ramirez and sophomore Mariah Wehrle both locked down personal records and came in ninth and tenth place, respectively. Ramirez finished in ninth with a time of 16:18.37, and Wehrle came in right behind with a time of 16:22.29.

Senior Ana Barrott competed in the 10000-meter run

and finished with a time of 34:34.75, which was good for a personal record and ninth place in the event.

Indiana broke a school record in the Distance Medley Championship of America Relay with a time of 10:59.54, finishing in third place. Seniors Hannah Stoffel and Kelly Mindak, sophomore Morgan Snowand junior Bailey Hertenstein were all part of the record-breaking relay.

The 4x1500 meter Championship of America Relay team consisting of Mindak, senior Sarah Schmitt, Stoffel and Hertenstein finished in fourth place and hit a seasonbest during the race with a time of 17:25.00.

The 4x800 meter Championship of America Relay finished in 10th place with sophomores Maria Anderson and Shynae Deas and freshmen Elizabeth Stanhope and Mindak competing. The 4x400 meter Championship of America Relay team of junior Lauren Thomas, Snow, Anderson and Stanhope

finished in 16th place with a time of 3:46.53.

Indiana saw a lot of success with its field athletes over the weekend as well, with noteworthy performances from freshman Jayden Ulrich in the women’s college discus throw and in the women’s shot put championship. Ulrich took first place in the college discus throw with a heave of 51.51 meters, and in the shot put championship, Ulrich secured fourth place with her throw of 17.42 meters to set a new personal record.

“I think just being in the right mentality for meets and knowing what I have to do when I get there has played a big part,” Ulrich said about her success. “I couldn’t be happier with any of the meets that I’ve had in shot put or discus.”

Senior Madison Pollard also found success in both events. Pollard finished in fifth place in the college discus throw with her throw of 49.28 meters. In the shot put championship, she threw for a season-best of 17.45 meters to lock down third place.

Sophomore Mahogany Jenkins also competed well in both of her events. In the college triple jump, Jenkins took home third place with leaps of 12.43 meters. In the high jump championship, Jenkins soared over the bar to take fourth place with a jump of 1.76 meters.

Freshman Makayla Hunter competed in the women’s javelin throw, launching the javelin 43.09 meters to take home fourth place.

Indiana next competes in the Billy Hayes Invitational on May 6 in Bloomington.

The Bloomington Creative Glass Center will present Venice Reimagined, a Renaissance glass blowing festival, from 1-5 p.m. on May 7. Glass blowing, a glassmaking technique where an artisan inflates molten glass by breathing into it with a blowpipe, dates back to the Roman empire.

The event will take place at the Creative Glass Center, located at 229 W. Grimes Lane.

It is free to attend, but there is a suggested donation for visitors to participate in glassmaking and crafts.

The center’s website invites visitors to “experience the wonders of 15th century Venice” with glass blowing demonstrations, live music, sword fighting, crafts and storytelling. At the beginning of

each hour, visitors have the opportunity to make a cold glass piece.

Artisans will make their own murrini and glass cane pieces. According to the event’s website, visitors can bid to win pieces made in front of them.

The event is a collaboration with the Bloomington Early Music Festival and the Society of Creative Anachronism, a Middle Ages and Renaissance reenactment and research group. It’s put on with support from the Bloomington Arts Commission.

By Hand Gallery will present their new exhibit, “3AM,” by iron and steel sculptor Bert Gilbert starting this Friday at their location in Fountain Square Mall at 101 W Kirkwood Ave. There will be an opening reception and gallery walk from 5-8 p.m. on May 6. The exhibit will be open and free to the public from May 6-26.

“3AM” will feature new cast iron and mixed media sculptures by Gilbert.

Gilbert builds his work on the cast iron elements he produces during his annual artist residency at the iron casting Sculpture Trails in Solsberry, Indiana, according to the press release.

For his mixed media works, Gilbert, uses scrap metal and reclaimed steel on welded pieces and re-

purposed building materials.

Along with only forming the models and creating the molds, Gilbert actively participates in the pour-casting process of sculpting, according to the press release.

“In my recent pieces, I have been casting more and more (plastic) packing materials,” Gilbert said. “This detritus of our online consumer culture, with its soft corpulent forms, seems an apt metaphor for the empty opulence of consumerism and surely a bellwether for future archaeologists defining our culture.”

By Hand Gallery is a locally owned, cooperative gallery consisting of 13 artisan members, according to their website. By Hand Gallery has been in the Bloomington community for over 40 years and sells artworks that are of good design and

quality craftsmanship, according to their website.

By Hand Gallery is open Monday to Saturday from 10 a.m to 5:30 p.m. and Sundays from 12-4 p.m.

Constellation Stage and Screen announces name, theatrical season combination of resources will strengthen the local arts community.

“We’re creating something that’s bigger than the sum of its parts,” Rabinovitz said. “That’s going to allow us to do so much more.”

Rabinovitz said Constellation’s goal is to serve artists and patrons throughout Bloomington.

“Our job as a nonprofit arts organization is to make the place we live better,” Rabinovitz said. “That’s the heart of what we’re doing here. Whether it’s making you feel something emotionally, whether it’s making you proud of the community that you live in.”

Constellation announced plans for their first theatrical season, which will feature

By Tory Basile vlbasile@iu.edu | @torybasilee

Constellation Stage and Screen, a new arts organization combining the Bloomington Playwrights Project, Cardinal Stage and Pigasus Institute, announced their new name and theatrical season at a merger celebration April 23 at the Woolery Mill.

The new arts organization will blend theater, film production, new work development and arts education, with the mission to uplift Bloomingon’s artistic culture and economy. Official operations will commence on July 1.

Producing Artistic Director Chad Rabinovitz said the merger’s innovative

eight total shows, including new plays, a holiday musical, literary classics and a childrens’ program.

The shows include “The Grown-Ups” (Sept. 14 to Oct. 1), “The Importance of Being Earnest” (Oct. 13-30), “Elf the Musical” (Dec. 15-31), “Deathtrap” (Jan. 26 to Feb. 12), “American Fast” (March 23 to April 8), “The Moon and the Sea” (June 8-25), “Anne of Green Gables” (Nov. 10-27), and “Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus The Musical” (April 28 to May 14).

“The Grown-Ups,” an outdoor theater experience premiering in the fall, is a newly written production that Constellation plans to eventually produce into a feature film.

Artistic Director Kate

Galvin said Constellation’s production model is extremely unique for an arts organization of this scale.

Constellation will turn newly written plays into films at the local level, and then distribute them nationwide. In the past, Galvin said stage-toscreen production had been reserved for major Hollywood studios.

“That crossover between stage and film doesn’t really happen on the regional level,” Galvin said. “We’re trying to figure out how we can crack that nut and find a way to make it work on a smaller scale, so that other organizations can look to us as a model and potentially do the same thing.”

Constellation also announced their new arts phi-

lanthropy initiative — The Big Bang Campaign — which hopes to secure $250,000 in annual donations. The Cook Group, which has pledged to give $300,000 per year in operating support to Constellation, promised to match annual donations up to $150,000 per year as well.

Constellation Marketing Director Cassie Hakken said the organization’s logo is a nod to state pride and clear midwestern skies where stars are more visible. While some may think major artistic production is reserved for the coasts, Hakken said she disagrees.

“We are based in the Midwest, and there are still cool things here and cool art made here,” Hakken said.

“The Midwest is not a mono-

lith, so it’s exciting to kind of show some pride in that.”

Hakken said she hopes Constellation’s educational resources provide interested young people with access to the arts. Their arts education programming will offer cross-disciplinary classes, workshops and hands-on training experiences for all ages. Summer camps will run from June 6 to July 22 for children ages 5 to 17, and registration is open now.

In addition to education, Constellation’s resources will create new opportunities for individual artists and smaller arts organizations in Bloomington, Hakken said.

“We want to bring other people up with us to grow, and to make this a great place for art,” Hakken said.

I was late to my Tuesday evening class because I couldn’t put down this week’s book. This sounds hyperbolic, but my notes — missing coverage from the first 15 minutes of class — will attest to its truthfulness.

“True biz” — the exclamation from which the book draws its title — means “really, seriously, definitely, realtalk,” according to the book.

Nine out of ten Deaf children are born to hearing parents, so it’s always been mind-boggling to me that ASL is not taught to all students, everywhere. Novic alone cannot fix this gross social oversight, but her story embodies representation for a community living in an ableist world.

“True Biz” stands out for its beautiful language, its compelling story and its social commentary all at once.

I dog-eared pages for Novic’s abilities in a multitude of categories. She neither minces words nor accepts mediocre ones.

“Fall in Colson was a wild, capricious thing — the weather shifted from muggy to cool without notice, and

squalls often pushed in from the river,” she writes, transforming a setting provided in mere ink to one with vivid details I could picture when I closed my eyes.

Chapters later, she reflects on what “the world might be like if deaf people had as short a fuse about hearing people’s inability to sign, their neglect or refusal to caption TV, or, hell, the announcements on this bus” as hearing people have toward their Deaf counterparts’ lack of response to verbal exchanges.

This book makes my lifelong list of favorites. I’m already awaiting Novic’s next work and am thankful it will come after my graduation, or “True Biz” wouldn’t be the last time I read through class.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is an 8 - Bold discoveries await. Plan carefully to avoid wasting time or money. Grab a lucky opportunity to advance your education. Find treasures of rare beauty.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is a 9 - Creative collaboration flowers anew. Romance kindles in conversation. Have fun with your partner. Get out in nature for extra energy. Share something delicious together.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is a 9 - Have fun with people and activities that you love. Clean messes. Beautify your surroundings. Enjoy a fascinating connection. Discuss exciting possibilities with someone interesting.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is a 9 - Collaborate on profitable ventures. Watch for math mistakes. A female adds to the bottom line. Grab a lucky break. Discuss financial plans and lucrative opportunities.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is a 9 - Prioritize physical health and energy. Recharge from exercise and work. Nurture yourself with rest and good food for optimal performance. Nature feeds your spirit.

with readers. As a former student of IU’s reputable ASL program, I had been exposed to some of the background thanks to my professors, but readers ranging from Charlie’s novice level of study to Austin’s native level would find it equally as accessible.

Some of the culture insertions were previously included in my classes, but some were entirely new to me. A casual mention of the Clash playing at a Deaf club on one page taught me that punk rock bands used to rent out Deaf clubs as concert venues.

I was entirely dialed into Novic’s story to the extent that I left the pages only to Google more information after learning tidbits like this, yet I couldn’t even bring myself to close the book to arrive
