Former IU student and athlete Charles Keating IV, known to friends as Charlie, always wanted to be a Navy SEAL, former teammate Sean Jefferson said.
His bedroom in his parents’ home contained books about the SEALs, Sean said, and it was something Charlie grew up dreaming about. But Charlie, a former IU runner who was killed Tuesday morning on a mission in Iraq
as a United States’ Navy SEAL, was not a stereotypical soldier, Sean said. Charlie enjoyed fantasy series, like Lord of the Rings, and went to the late-night premieres of the SEE KEATING, PAGE 7

Senior traveled 6,200 miles to attend IU By Grace Palmieri gpalmier@indiana.edu | @grace_palmieri
Michael Turk doesn’t remember anything from his first time in Indiana. That’s because he was less than a year old before his parents left the states and soon returned to their home of Cairo, Egypt, to be
closer to family. Fifteen years later, though, when Turk was deciding on where he would attend college, MIchael Turk one place seemed familiar enough. It just happened to be more than 6,000 miles away.
“Out of all the states, Indiana seemed the most relevant to me,” Turk said. Four years later, he’s preparing to receive his diploma from the school he called the best decision he’s ever made. Despite spending most of his pre-college life in Cairo, Turk was born in Merrillville, Indiana. His
mother Lamis was dealing with infertility issues, and her doctor — who lived with them in Cairo while he attended medical school — was working in Merrillville. It was an unusual place to them far, far from home, but it was the best option for her, Lamis said. SEE CAIRO, PAGE 7
