Fighting from the classroom IU Archives exhibit displays IU’s involvement during WWI BY JAVONTE ANDERSON ja69@indiana.edu

Through the morass of renovations and construction in the Herman B Wells Library, the University Archives on the fourth floor of the east tower contains an exhibit encapsulating IU’s contribution in World War I. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the start of the war. Carrie Schwier, assistant archivist at the University Archives, said she thought it was an appropriate time to create a WWI exhibit. As a result, library science graduate students Alison Haack and Alessandro Meregaglia curated an exhibit titled “Indiana University and the Great War: Student, Professor and Alumni Involvement in World War I.” The creation of the exhibit not only educates the public on IU’s contribution to the war, but it also shows what the University Archives have to offer, Haack said. “I think a lot of people assume the archives store these really boring documents, but we have alumni, professors and students’ documents,” she said. “We collect the story of IU.” The story of how IU and WWI affected one another is told by an assort-

ment of historical documents, including scrapbooks, photographs, Indiana Daily Student clips from the time period, handwritten letters and course bulletins, Haack said. When WWI erupted in 1914 in Europe, United States President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation of neutrality. However, repeated German submarine attacks on civilians and the loss of American lives incited the entry of the U.S. into WWI in April 1917. Like many Americans, the IU community rallied to contribute and support the war effort. By the fall semester of 1918, 60 percent of the student population had enlisted in the Student Army Training Corps, according to the exhibit. Former IU President William Lowe Bryan still wanted the students in the SATC to obtain their undergraduate degrees. Therefore, he consolidated the SATC academic coursework so the students were able to complete their degree requirements in two years, Haack said. She said it was important to find a balance for students to contribute to the war effort and have students prepared to contribute to the skilled labor force after the war.

Monroe Lake beaches to be closed Memorial Day weekend FROM IDS REPORTS

The beaches at Monroe Lake will be closed for Memorial Day weekend. Recent rain and river levels downstream have forced the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers to restrict the outflow of water at the dam, which has resulted in high water levels at Monroe Lake, according to a press release from the Division of State Parks and Reservoirs at the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. The high water levels pose several hazardous situations, said Phil Wilson, reservoir specialist with the Indiana DNR. High water levels in the reservoir can erode the banks and ground of the beaches, Wilson said. The wear can then produce steep drop-offs that grab unsuspecting swimmers. “With the water level so high, it’s

like there isn’t even a beach there,” Wilson said. “Someone could be in the water on a solid surface, and then all of sudden there’s a 15-foot drop.” Swimmers are not the only ones at risk in such scenarios. These waters can pick up large debris, such as branches and rocks, Wilson said. If someone is boating on the lake, striking the obstruction can be very dangerous. “Someone may not see the debris or may not realize how large it is, because most of it is submerged,” Wilson said. “Hitting the debris can cause a lot of damage to the boat and anyone on it.” Despite this hazard, boat ramps at the lake will remain open for the weekend.

In addition to the SATC program, IU offered students courses that could potentially be beneficial to the war campaign during the 1918-19 academic year. “There were emergency courses created for training and instruction in first aid, making of garments for Red Cross and civilian relief, hygiene and home care for sick people,” Haack said. The exhibit also highlights the contributions of the Red Cross, the 1918 influenza outbreak on campus and the IU ambulance corps that spent months overseas during the war. There are photos of the SATC members standing outside of their barracks, which were repurposed fraternity houses, hospital beds that were set up in Assembly Hall to combat the influenza epidemic and women working in a Red Cross workshop located in Kirkwood Hall. Haack said she and Meregaglia spent nearly two months working on the exhibit. It was fun doing the research, and it was a difficult process determining what materials to place in the exhibit, Haack said. The exhibit is free and will be on display in the IU Archives from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays until June 30.

Gardening project promotes sustainability BY CARMEN HEREDIA RODRIGUEZ

caheredi@indiana.edu The Office of Sustainability has partnered with Hilltop Gardens and Nature Center to create free gardening workdays for the public. It is part of the Campus Green Initiative, a program with a mission to foster a conversation of sustainability through interactive work spaces, according to its website. The program was created in 2011 by Stephanie Hopkins, a former intern at the Office of Sustainability. Emilie Rex, assistant director for sustainability at IU, said student awareness was the driving force to bring the project to fruition. “There was a lot of passion surrounding food production among the campus and a lot of interest among the students,” Rex said. Currently, the initiative is directed by the Edible Campus Steering Committee, a group that oversees all the land in use by the program. The subcommittees — academic engagement, food production and volunteer outreach and marketing — work together to organize the group.

“We really wanted a campus space that was owned by the institution that would allow students to experience first-hand through gardening to learn about the food system,” Rex said. On average, the site attracts about five to 30 volunteers. At the end of the session, the initiative allows volunteers to take some of the produce grown in the garden. This year, more than 400 pounds of food were donated to Residential Programs and Services, Office of Sustainability intern Audrey Brinkers said. “It’s a mixture between what we should be growing because the dining facilities want to see that and what the students want to be eating,” Brinkers said, referring to the variety of food grown at the garden. Currently, the initiative is working to reach out to students from other disciplines to work within the garden. Brinkers said she believes gardening is a great tool to bring diverse academic backgrounds together and train young adults to live a sustainable life. “Sustainability is definitely a message about the future,” Brinkers said.

Maurer Law professor earns Sonneborn Award FROM IDS REPORTS

IU has named Maurer School of Law professor Susan Williams the winner of the 2014 Tracy M. Sonneborn Award. The Sonneborn Award honors the research and teaching of an IU faculty member. It is named for the IU biologist, Tracy M. Sonneborn, a renowned geneticist and teacher. Williams is a Walter W. Foskett Professor of Law and director of the Center for Constitutional Democracy. She is awarded the honor for her work in constitutional theory, feminist jurisprudence and gender equality, according to the release. Throughout her career, Williams has helped promote diversity within social groups. She has worked with ethnic minority groups in Burma, South Sudan, Liberia, Northern Africa and Vietnam, where she has created democratciesfor each country. She has authored several books, including “Social Difference and Constitutional-

ism in Pan Asia” and “Truth, Autonomy and Speech: Feminist Theory and the First Amendment.” At the law school, Williams teaches a first-year course on property law and courses on feminist jurisprudence and the First Amendment and constitutional design. “Susan Williams is truly deserving of the Sonneborn Award,” Provost Lauren Robel said in the release. “She is widely recognized for her path-breaking scholarship on constitutional theory, and she is an inspiring teacher who brings out the best in her students. “Her fearless work in constitutional design has helped empower marginalized populations in some of the world’s most troubled regions.” The Sonneborn Award contains a $3,500 award and a grant of $1,000 to support any project the recipient conducts, according to the release. Williams will give a speech at the annual Sonneborn Lecture in the fall. Jessica Campbell

Three professors receive provost title FROM IDS REPORTS

Chemistry professor Bogdan Dragnea, communications and culture professor Barbara Klinger and cognitive science and psychological and brain sciences professor Peter Todd were named provost professors in the past week. They were named for their outstanding teaching and research in local, national and international fields, according to a press release. All three professors are professors in the College of Arts and Sciences. According to the release, the position of provost professor was originally named the chancellor’s professor when it was created in 1995, but it changed to the current name in 2009. Professor Dragnea’s work in physical virology and research on the tracking of viruses in living cells has pushed IU to the forefront of the chemistry field. He has also recorded research with the virus, HIV1, as he has worked on ways

to prohibit the growth of the virus. As a teacher, Dragnea has also contributed to the development of IU’s chemistry department. He has received grants from the National Science Foundation and has helped with the execution of a new graduate curriculum for the school, according to the press release. Professor Klinger is a leading scholar in film studies, with published lectures, articles and books being used in classrooms across the world. She has authored several books, including “Melodrama and Meaning: History, Culture, and the Films of Douglas Sirk,” “Beyond the Multiplex: Cinema, New Technologies, and the Home.” She will soon publish anotrher work called, “Cinema and Immortality: Hollywood Classics in a Transmediated World.” Klinger has also contributed to 20 dissertations, with six still in progress. In 2011, Klinger became

Nursing alumni celebrate honors IU School of Nursing will award its most distinguished alumni the Alumni Legacy Leaders award on June 21. The school has chosen 100 recipients from around the world to celebrate of the program’s 100 years of existence. Among the Alumni Legacy Leaders awardees is Ruth Ann Morris, the vice president of patient care and the chief nursing officer at IU Health Bloomington Hospital. Chad Priest, assistant dean for operations and community partnerships at the nursing school, said he considers Morris an exemplary recipient for the award. “She is the perfect example of someone who has made a remarkable contribution to the profession of nursing, both in her current role as chief nursing officer at IU Health Bloomington and throughout her career,” Priest said. A competitive submission and review process was used to select alumni for the award, Priest said. “I am very proud, pleased and excited that I was named with the 100 Legacy awardees by the IU School of Nursing,” Morris said. Since IU School of Nurs-

ing opened its doors in 1914, it has been a catalyst for change in education, practice and research, according to the school’s website. The awardees demonstrate exceptional contributions to nursing through education, clinical practice, leadership and research, Priest said. “What it means most is I have always tried to give back to my profession, to be a leader and lead the way for the next generation,” Morris said. Recipients of the award are regarded as role models for the nursing school and trailblazers of the profession, IU School of Nursing Dean Marion Broome said. “We are extremely proud of our Top 100 Alumni Legacy Leaders,” Broome said. “Their contributions have made a deep and lasting impact on the profession of nursing and in the health care system, continuing the tradition of excellence and leadership at Indiana University School of Nursing.” Despite the accomplishments she has already achieved, Morris said she feels the need to continue excelling in her profession. “The expectation has been set high, so I have to keep doing better,” Morris said.

“Professors Dragnea, Klinger and Todd have combined highly original research and scholarship with outstanding teaching of both graduate students and undergraduates,” Provost Lauren Robel said in the press release. “I am delighted to recognize their dedicated efforts to advance the University, its students and their faculty colleagues.” The provost professors will be awarded $2,500 each year for the next three years, and they will also receive a $5,000 grant. The money will go toward a project on how the combination of teaching and research is helpful to the success of both endeavors. The provost professors will be honored at a reception in the fall at a location and date to be determined according to the release. Jessica Campbell

MIND THE GAP

America’s regulation fetish Nothing kills the mood quite like government oversight, or so our sex-regulators hope. Why anyone would want to make any law restricting free and consensual sexual activity is beyond me. Unfortunately, my misgivings don’t prevent these laws from being on the books. In the name of liberte, egalite and orgasme, the following are four types of regulations no red-blooded American should ever have to follow. RESTRICTIONS ON CONDOM SALES There is a rumor that Washington state requires stores have a specific license to sell condoms on many “crazy law” websites, but the Washington state government website has proven mum on the issue. For the sake of Washingtonians, I hope this rumor isn’t true. It’s hard enough to get people to use condoms without making them more difficult to distribute. Condoms and dental dams should be available everywhere, all the time and for everyone. Remember: All the best presents come wrapped. ANTI-SODOMY LAWS Much to Antonin Scalia’s chagrin, anti-sodomy laws have been unenforceable since Lawrence v. Texas was decided in 2003. But a decade ago it was totally cool to

imprison “sodomites,” which has different definitions depending on the state. Usually it means gay dudes. The anti-sodomy laws Indiana had on the books were quite the puzzle. Anal sex with both men and women was prohibited. So was fellatio. Cunnilingus, however, was fine, as long as the woman was older than 21. Maybe. Lawmakers used so many innuendos for different sexual acts that no one was really sure to what they were referring. Hint: If you’re too embarrassed to use the word “cunnilingus,” maybe don’t write a law about cunnilingus. This issue actually became relevant in 2013, when Ken Cuccinelli, who ran for governor in Virginia, proposed a blanket blow job ban. Surprise — he was not elected governor of Virginia. ANTI-MASTURBATION LAWS OK, so there aren’t any laws actually banning the act of self-stimulation, but if star of the bench, terror of our hearts Antonin “Killjoy” Scalia had his way, they might. In his dissent of Lawrence v. Texas, Scalia compares masturbation to bestiality and incest, and he fears that the moral authority of the law is waning. Scalia’s distaste for masturbation might explain his overall surliness. Like other forms of sexual stimulation, mastur-

bation can relieve stress without the risk of pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases. RESTRICTIONS ON SEX TOY SALES Laws against sex toys are the closest thing the U.S. has to masturbation restrictions, though they spill into partner play as well. Those states that would prevent us from stimulating our southerly regions with dildos, vibrators, fleshlights, butt plugs, etc., are primarily located in the South. Georgia prohibits the purchase of sex toys without a doctor’s prescription. Alabama has outright outlawed any device made “primarily for the stimulation of human genital organs.” Laws banning toys in Texas and Mississippi have been challenged in District Courts, although the Supreme Court has not heard any of these cases. Without traditional sex toys, people having sex simply have to innovate. Just think about all the foreign objects doctors extract from patients’ bums each year. casefarr@indiana.edu ILLUSTRATION BY ROSE HARDING

AN EMMA DILEMMA

VOX PERSONAL

Don’t censor tragedy The student government at the University of California, Santa Barbara calls for a system where professors announce when potentially traumatic content will be discussed in class. The system would use “trigger warnings” to alert students when the class was going to read, view or discuss potentially upsetting material. The goal is to shield students who have posttraumatic stress from events such as sexual assault or military campaigns. The students could then miss class, if necessary, without losing points. This system amounts to censorship,and it should not be implemented. War veterans or victims of rape have gone through terrible experiences. To deal with such trauma and be forced to relive it afterward would be terrible. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. However, acting as if the tragedies never happened, and never do, is diminishing their gravity. Accepting what happened is an essential part of the healing process. If you can never talk about your experiences, how are you ever going to get past them? If a student is still recovering from trauma and does not feel ready to read or discuss graphic media, exceptions can obviously be made. But to standardize slapping labels on things that might be offensive would instill a chilling effect on the media presented to students. Moreover, there is great

value in that which disgusts us. The truth is, the world can be a terrible place. Violence occurs for seemingly no reason. People can commit horrible acts at any time. Some of our greatest works of literature and art depict these tragedies in an attempt to grapple with them. Part of what makes them great is bringing these issues to light. Should we not read Mark Twain because it conveys the racism of the time it was written? Is it better to pretend that rape doesn’t happen than talk about “The Kite Runner”? Does skipping the gory scenes in “Saving Private Ryan” make war less costly? We need to talk about things that make us uncomfortable. If we are coddled and insulated from the bad parts of the world, we aren’t getting an accurate representation, and it can skew our thinking. We need to see the unadulterated truth. Only by accepting and understanding the bad can we work to remove it. Sometimes you’ll be uncomfortable with the world. But that’s OK. It doesn’t mean it’s all bad, and it doesn’t mean you can’t make it better. sckroll@indiana.edu

Let’s help both genders Maren Sanchez was stabbed to death in April for rejecting a young man who asked her to prom. The teen who stabbed her confessed and was later admitted to a psychiatric ward. The death has led to interesting debate and commentary about male rage and violence against women. I am 100 percent behind the idea of women’s health and safety becoming more present in national thought. However, I think one of the most compelling dialogues has centered around the lack of opportunities for young men with mental health problems to seek treatment. During the spring semester I commented on the benefits of programs like Men Against Rape and the Representation Project. Now, more than ever, their messages apply and need to be heard. Maren Sanchez’s death was tragic and wrong. However, when the media covered the story, they wound up beating a dead horse. Again and again I heard about how violence against women has escalated, how the young teenager’s death is a harbinger of violence to come. No one, anywhere, was offering a solution. After her killer’s admittance to a psychiatric ward, I began to think. In the past few years, there have been untold tragedies, mostly at the hands of unstable young men with weapons. Schools and movie theaters, shopping malls and campuses have all been stages for brutality and death.

EMMA WENNINGER is a sophomore majoring in English.

In the aftermath of these events, I want to see more programs and movements work toward helping young men. I want there to be a renewed focus on men’s health, because it is so necessary to ensuring the success of women’s health, and vice versa. I’m beginning to see some changes that I applaud and hope succeed. President Obama has begun to take a serious look at the causes of rape and assault on college campuses. Violence against women has begun to finally take center stage. But in order to come full circle, we must recognize men are in desperate need of help, too. As the Representation Project reported, boys are constantly stunted and frustrated by the need to “be a man,” which means anything from not being afraid to fight to killing someone if needed. In order to truly appreciate Maren Sanchez’s life, we must recognize the significance of her death, and I hope we learn from it. Her tragedy could potentially save lives if we are able to focus on the root cause of the violence — cries for help. If we can do that, we can start enacting real change and stop future violence and heartbreak. ewenning@indiana.edu

MICHAEL’S MUSINGS

The price of ethanol Every time we fill up at the gas station in the United States, we’re met with a seemingly innocuous notice. A message informs us that the gasoline we are paying for is not really pure gasoline. “Contains up to 10% ethanol,” the sticker reads. The result of this rather frustrating yet well-intentioned policy, turbocharged by Congressional subsidies, has been bad. It has negatively affected both the consumers and the environment. Initially promoted as a way to rid America of reliance on Middle Eastern petroleum, ethanol was promoted as a home-grown solution for American energy independence. Supporters often cite Brazil’s use of sugarcane for ethanol as a positive example of how ethanol can revolutionize the economy. Sadly, this seemingly noble goal has not only been subverted, but it has been turned into an albatross around the necks of Americans as well. The difference in American and Brazilian production of ethanol is important. The ethanol yield of sugarcane far exceeds that of corn. This, in conjunction with ethanol subsidies and production quotas, has resulted in inflated corn prices during the past 10 years. Though inflation and a sagging economy might be to blame, the price of corn in particular has risen to astronomical levels. Corn on the cob is a summer classic. But corn is particularly vital to many other foodstuffs, such as meat, where it is used as feed. So rising prices in corn contribute to rising overall food prices. To make matters worse, ethanol is no white knight here to save us from the evils of gasoline. Consumer Reports conducted a series of tests with a 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe, which is a flex-fuel vehicle. It used both standard gasoline and an 85 percent-

ethanol, 15 percent-gasoline blend. The results were fairly stark. Though smog-forming nitrogen oxides were reduced compared to the normal blend of gasoline, E85 resulted in regular losses of six to nine miles per gallon. As a result, the price for removing smog emissions is filling up on gasoline more frequently. To add insult to injury, this loss in efficiency makes E85 more costly than purchasing regular gasoline. What’s funny about the whole situation is that the government encourages it through both subsidies and regulation. Car manufacturers get to count vehicles that run on ethanol at 1.67 times their actual fuel economy toward their Corporate Average Fuel Economy standard. This is a crutch some brands are relying on in the wake of recent increases of Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards. Furthermore, ethanol blenders receive $0.51 per gallon in tax credits to encourage corn farmers to have more of their crop converted into ethanol rather than for consumption. This leads to rising overall food prices as described above. The people who really benefit from these policies aren’t Americans strapped for cash or concerned with the environment. They’re the farm lobby and corn growers. As a citizen of Missouri, a corn-growing state like Indiana, I sympathize with farmers who defied the doomand-gloomers who once said we would hit peak food a long time ago. But these policies reverberate across the entire American economy, and I fear for the worse. mjsu@indiana.edu

BMV lawsuit sparks plate controversy BY SARAH ZINN sjzinn@indiana.edu @sarah_zinn

Rodney Vawter’s car never really hurt anyone. It would receive a few dirty looks here and there, but no complaints were ever filed against it. Most often, people would laugh and give Vawter a thumbs up when he drove it. They’d be pointing at his plates. Last April, the Greenfield, Ind., police officer came home to a letter from the Bureau of Motor Vehicles. Emblazoned with the Fraternity of the Police tag, his license plate read “0INK,” and was being revoked. The BMV had allowed the car to drive around Indiana for three years, but it now deemed the plate offensive and misleading. “The BMV giveth, the BMV taketh away,” Vawter said. He wasn’t going to let the BMV force the oink-mobile off the road. *** Vawter tried to reason with the BMV. He wrote a letter to appeal the revocation, but it was sent back to him. He tried calling people, but he ended up getting voicemail. The people he did talk to didn’t know much

about protocol in this kind of situation. A friend suggested he pursue a lawsuit with the American Civil Liberties Union. Hesitant at first, Vawter and his lawyer soon found out there were many inconsistencies with the BMV’s personal license plate program. It approved “BIGGSXY” but not “SXY,” “BIBLE4ME” but not “BIBLEH8R” and “FOX NEWS” but not “FOX*LIES.” The BMV claimed it was unable to explain the inconsistencies in court. A First Amendment issue was at stake. “It just depends on what mood they’re in and what day of the week it is,” Vawter said. “You don’t hear the same thing twice.” The “offensive” standard was meant for vulgar and derogatory comments. Vawter’s court statement said he considered his plate “an ironic statement of pride in his profession.” *** A police officer for more than 10 years, Vawter said he’s been called a “fucking pig” to his face at least 300 times. It’s something he’s accepted. Vawter is a criminal investigator. He said he likes his work because it’s excit-

ing. He said he also likes the physical evidence side of his job because it doesn’t lie to you. He remembers working on one case — a homicide — for almost two months. He worked on the case up until Christmas morning, he said. In a way, he associates his passion for justice with the license plate court case. It’s about fairness, Vawter said. “When I go out and do my job, I can’t violate people’s civil rights,” he said. “That’d be like me going over to a car and stopping it just because I wanted to.” *** On May 8, Marion Superior Court Judge James Osborn found the standards the BMV used violated the First Amendment and Indiana law, and he ordered they cease being used. Vawter said he is happy without monetary compensation. He said he requested his attorney fees be paid, but that was it. “It’s about getting the BMV to set standards and follow rules,” Vawter said. The oink-mobile drives on for now. “I have a personalized license plate on my truck with my last name on it,” Vawter said. “I’m sure someone finds that offensive, too.”

Two alleged carnival workers were arrested May 19 and are facing two charges of animal neglect. The two men were traveling from the state of Georgia to Chicago in a 1995 Ford pickup, which was pulling an enclosed trailer. An Indiana state police trooper patrolling U.S. 41 in Sullivan County pulled over the two men for a routine inspection of the trailer and its contents, according to a release from the Indiana State Police Department. The trailer contained two miniature horses, one male and one female, which were emaciated and in poor health. Additionally, there wasn’t food, water or sufficient air flow through the trailer, according to the release. The two men told police they were employees of Modern Midways Carnival. However, Modern Midways denies any connection to the two men.

“Modern Midways, Inc. vigorously denies any responsibility surrounding the recent allegations of animal abuse,” said Kristen Dunn, the company’s attorney. The two individuals have never been employed by Modern Midways, Dunn said. “Modern Midways, Inc. is a carnival ride company and does not employ animal acts for our customers,” she said. Modern Midways offered to rent space to the two men at a carnival without any knowledge of their identities, of the proposed use of miniature horses nor of the alleged condition of the miniature horses, Dunn said. The company operates in multiple states, and Dunn said she believes the two men were likely vendors who hoped to rent floor space at a local carnival. The Sullivan County Humane Society took the miniature horses to an animal hospital, where they were checked out and treated, said Jen Petty, shelter manager of

the Humane Society of Sullivan County. After receiving treatment the horses were taken to a temporary foster home, which is monitored by the Humane Society. The foster homes are an extension of the Humane Society. “It’s an individual in the community who provides temporary homes for our shelter animals to help alleviate some of the overcrowding in shelters,” Petty said. A woman with a lot of horse experience supervises the two horses’ particular foster home, Petty said. Both horses are in poor condition but are being medically treated and properly nourished. “We’re feeding them, providing them with water and making sure nutritionally they’re back on track,” Petty said. “We have to get the horses back to a good weight and physical appearance.” SEE NEGLECT, PAGE 6

Bryan Park Pool, located on Woodlawn Ave. and behind Bryan Park, opens for the 2014 season this Saturday. The pool offers attractions for guest of all ages, including a zero-depth activity pool for young children.

Local pools welcome new heaters and warmer water BY BRIAN SEYMOUR briseymo@indiana.edu @briseymo

The City of Bloomington Parks and Recreation Department announced May 19 that the city’s two outdoor pools, Bryan Park Pool and Mills Pool, are to be equipped with water heaters. The heaters will raise the water temperature of the pools to a summery 83 degrees and will allow the pools to remain at balmy temperatures even during the cooler early weeks of summer. The pool business has been hurting with the school calendar beginning earlier every year, said John Turnbull, sports division director for the City of Bloomington Parks and Recreation Department. “We’re trying to catch early business,” Turnbull said. By placing the heaters in the pool, the Parks and Recreation Department hopes the warmer waters will bring

members of the community to the pools earlier in the summer and earlier in the mornings, Turnbull said. “From exit polls and observations, we know a person’s average visit is about an hour and a half,” he said. “We’re hoping to get people to stay a bit longer.” The cool water temperatures not only discouraged people from staying at the pools, but also cut into the Parks and Recreation Department’s profits. Bryan Park Pool offers swimming lessons every year. According to a press release from the Parks and Recreation Department, parents have historically shied away from the first session because of the brisk temperatures. The swimming lessons bring in a fair amount of revenue to the Parks and Recreation Department — about $20,000 a year, Turnbull said. The heaters were manufactured by Lochinvar and cost

about $83,000, according to the press release. “That’s a one-time cost for a product that will probably last us 25 years,” Turnbull said. The gas-heaters are also near the top in efficiency, said Mark Sterner, general manager of the Twin Lakes Recreation Center. However, the heaters do have a couple drawbacks. The venting mechanism, which prevents the heater from becoming too hot, emits an unpleasant odor. This can be prevented by starting the heaters during offhours, Sterner said. They also won’t be running constantly. The heaters will be started at 10 p.m. and will be shut off around 7 a.m., an hour before the pools open. “From that point, we’ll rely on the sun to keep the water warm,” Sterner said. The heaters also feature a “smart system,” which will SEE POOL, PAGE 6

Rural schools hurt by cuts BY JACOB KLOPFENSTEIN jklopfen@indiana.edu

Funding cuts from federal and local governments have left rural Indiana schools with room for improvement. The Rural Schools and Community Trust, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to schools in rural areas, released its annual “Why Rural Matters” report May 19. The report is the seventh in a biennial series analyzing the conditions in rural school districts in the United States. “Our point overall in the study is that after more than a decade of reporting on these issues, very little has changed,” said Robert Mahaffey, director

of marketing and communications for RSCT. Mahaffey said many of the states that need to make the most improvements to their rural schools have been at the top of the RSCT’s list for years. Mississippi is at the top this year, and it was also on top in 2003, 2005, 2007 and 2012. “That’s alarming,” Mahaffey said. The group gave Indiana rural schools a priority ranking of 19, which means Indiana rural schools are more in need of improvements than districts in 31 other states. “We have been asked year after year to do more and produce more with less money,” said Scott Turney, executive

director of the Indiana Small and Rural Schools Association. Turney said since high levels of poverty aren’t as frequent in rural school districts as they are in urban and suburban settings, his school districts have to work a little harder to find funding and grants that will work for them. Almost 10 million students attend schools in rural districts nationally, which is about 20 percent of the total public school enrollment in the U.S. Turney estimates the average enrollment of Indiana ruSEE SCHOOL, PAGE 6

Compared to almost $8,000 being spent per student in other states, it’s one of the lowest rates in the country. Turney said that while rural school districts continue to struggle, every school district in Indiana has funding issues. He points to the $300-million cut in education funding that then-Gov. Mitch Daniels announced in 2009.

“As you trickle away money, you affect personnel and those kinds of things,� Turney said. School districts struggle to attract the best and brightest teachers because they can’t afford to pay teachers at a competitive rate. The reports released by the RSCT aim to capture the attention of policymakers in Washington, D.C., where the organization is headquartered. Mahaffey said he hopes legislators from those states that need to make improvements will finally pay attention with this report. “Our endgame is that states

that need to pay more attention will spur on to do that,� he said. Turney said the RSCT has worked very hard to raise awareness for the issues rural schools face. He said he thinks the government has noticed there is a problem, but nothing has been done to solve it. Turney said his schools will need to continue to find new ways of dealing with cuts. “We’ve reached a point now where cuts are having a negative impact on what we are able to do for students,� Turney said. “You can only trim so many things.�

Adapted to survive The evolution of the re-spun story

May 16 was Throwback Thursday, as Gareth Edwards’ reimagining “Godzilla” surfaced at the box office. This monster flick is part of a franchise standard dating back to 1954. With the mega-lizard rampaging across many screens during the years, “Godzilla” is part of a bigger beast. Filmmakers have been participating in an ever-growing love for using existing content, and we’re not just talking about sequels. Film adaptations have represented a thriving strain in the evolution of cinema. Here we have mapped out a few recent and upcoming works that represent the backbone of current adapted films. Compare these recent flicks to their original content, and see the different time periods and forms of media moviemakers turn to when seeking inspiration for the next big thing. FEATURE AND VISUALS BY GRIFFIN LEEDS

“Man of Steel” Inspired by its comic book series that began in 1941, Superman, like Godzilla, represents a Hollywood icon that has seen many screen adaptations. “The Lone Ranger” Johnny Depp might be the reason why many people know of “The Lone Ranger” now, but it was first a 1930s radio show that later came to television. “12 Years a Slave” Before “12 Years a Slave” moved audiences in 2013, the Solomon Northup’s memoir titled “Twelve Years a Slave” came to print in 1853. “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” A Walter Mitty is someone who is often lost in their own waking dreamscape. It was not Ben Stiller but James Thurber who first introduced the character in his famed 1939 short story.

“Frozen” While some of the themes of Disney’s “Frozen” were quite modern, the film was nonetheless inspired by the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, “The Snow Queen.” “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug” When approaching the retelling of Bilbo Baggins’ mystical adventures, director Peter Jackson blended J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Hobbit” with the posthumously published “The Silmarillion.” “Veronica Mars” Fans proved their love for TV show “Veronica Mars” by helping to fund the movie continuation of the series through a kickstarter campaign. “Noah” While Russell Crowe and Emma Watson are not explicitly mentioned in any religious doctrine, their work is now alongside other Bible-based epic films such as “The Passion of the Christ” and “The Ten Commandments.”

“Catching Fire” Following in the footsteps of the “Harry Potter” and “Twilight” franchises, “Catching Fire” is the second installment in the book-tofilm “Hunger Games” series.

“Godzilla” The iconic monster first terrorized Japan on screen in 1954. PreCGI special effects called for a man dressed as the gorilla-whale stomping around a miniature Tokyo. “Maleficent” This boss-ass witch was so timeless in Disney’s 1959 animated feature “Sleeping Beauty” that we get to see Angelina Jolie tackle the liveaction villainess this summer. “The Fault in Our Stars” Many young adult fiction readers are already stockpiling tissues in preparation for John Green’s book, which comes to screens in a few weeks.

Tuba programs take place at Jacobs School FROM IDS REPORTS

The 2014 International Tuba Euphonium Conference returned to the Jacobs School of Music, its place of origin, after 41 years. “‘Where it all Began,’ right here in Bloomington, is our theme this year,” Dan Pertantoni, conference host and IU provost professor of tuba and euphonium, said in a press release. In 1973, the first Tuba Symposium took place in the Musical Arts Center. The symposium was also the first event

that used the venue. The Boston Brass performed May 19, and the European Tuba Power performed May 20. There are three main-stage programs left in the conference. Howard Johnson and Gravity performs May 22, Foundation City Brass Band performs May 23 and the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Wind Symphony closes the conference May 24. According to the press release, the conference features the world’s best in the field.

The International Tuba Euphonium Association is a worldwide organization of musicians whose purpose is to maintain a connection among those who take a significant interest in instruments of the tuba and euphonium family. The programs are ticketed and open to the public. Tickets are $10 for regular admission and $8 for students. They can be bought 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday at the MAC box office.

IU Festival of Arts offers summer entertainment FROM IDS REPORTS

The IU Summer Festival of Arts kicked off May 12 with two Kinsey Institute art exhibits, “Creative Minds” and “Artistic Types: Text in Visual Art,” but students can look forward to many more events in the coming months. “The best thing about the Summer Festival of the Arts is that there is something going on every day all summer, whether students are interested in seeing a musical like ‘Godspell,’ unique offerings in the IU Cinema or exhibits in any of the many gallery spaces on campus,” Brady Miller, director of special and academic events, said in an email. The summer festival has

a full calendar including music, cinema, theater and arts events. The festival will continue until Aug. 24. “There also are individual special events throughout the summer, such as the Midsummer Night at the Art Museum event on June 21, where we’ll be celebrating the return of the Light Totem, a signature piece of outdoor artwork for the campus,” Miller said. The Summer Festival of the Arts has recurred each summer since 2011. “Campus takes on a slightly slower pace during the summer, so this season is a great time for those in the Bloomington community and visitors from out of town to come on campus and experi-

ence everything IU Bloomington has to offer, whether they’ve been here many times or this would be their first venture,” Miller said. Many of IU’s campus partners take advantage of the summer season as well, Miller said. Some campus partners are programming outdoor events, such as the Jacobs School of Music’s Summer Band concert, a special performance that will take place June 16 on the lawn of the Musical Arts Center, Miller said. “It’s a great chance for new people to become engaged with each of the arts entities,” Miller said.

IU Art Museum director announces retirement after 27 years on the job FROM IDS REPORTS

Adelheid “Heidi” Gealt, director of the IU Art Museum, has announced her retirement. She has been director since 1987 and will assume the role of director emerita once a new director is chosen. “We thank Heidi for her many years of service as director,” IU provost and executive vice president Lauren Robel said in a press release.

“Her leadership helped the museum grow into one of the nation’s finest university museums and one of Bloomington’s true cultural gems.” The search committee to identify candidates for the new director will be chaired by Bruce Cole, former chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities Cole served as the NEH chairman from 2001 to 2009, which makes him the longest serving chairman in the organization’s history.

According to the press release, the search committee will launch a national search to identify, recruit and interview candidates for the position. The committee includes representation from a variety of departments and disciplines across the University. It aims to hire a new director who will begin July 1, 2015. Anu Kumar

Pippa Mann exits her car after a qualifying run on Saturday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Mann is the lone woman in the field.

Indy 500 field is wide open BY SAM BEISHUIZEN sbeishui@indiana.edu

SPEEDWAY, Ind. — Thirty-three drivers are set to take the grid at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway with one goal in mind — etching their likeness in the Borg-Warner Trophy as the winner of the 98th Indianapolis 500. This year’s field of drivers is one of the most diverse to date. Six former winners take the grid, including Juan Pablo Montoya and Jacques Villeneuve, who return to the track as defending winners after years away in other forms of motorsport. Of the seven rookies taking the field, NASCAR regular Kurt Busch will look to complete his first Indy 500. The diversity of the field and the unpredictability of the Verizon IndyCar Series this season, combined with the current aerodynamics packages of the cars, has made determining a race fa-

vorite difficult, various drivers have said. Five different teams are represented in the top nine after qualifying, and after a record 68 lead changes this past season, Team Penske driver Will Power said he believes the race is anyone’s for the taking. “There isn’t a car out there that can’t win it,” Power said. “The whole field is going to start on the front stretch, and the whole field is going to finish on the front stretch on the last lap. They’re all going to be there because with the draft it doesn’t matter. No one can get away.” Power’s reference to the draft is a direct result of the new style of racing at Indianapolis that has since occurred with the introduction of the new chassis implemented two seasons ago. Unlike years past, when a lead driver could run away from the field, the current rules package limits teams’

abilities to develop dominating cars. Instead, the field is tighter than ever, with few teams having a distinct speed advantage. The result of the change is added emphasis on being able to navigate through traffic. Sunday’s race — which will start at 12:12 p.m. — will likely be determined by which drivers can navigate through traffic the best and navigate through the dirty air created by competitors’ cars. Sunday will be the first time all 33 cars will be out on the track in race conditions, which adds to the difficulty of keeping up with the track conditions. “There’s quite a lot of turbulence in these cars,” Josef Newgarden said. “When you run the actual race on Sunday, it can be different sometimes than just practicing on a race day, when you’re in a train of four cars, because in the race if you get

in a pack of 10 cars, it’s even more turbulent.” Teams will vary how much downforce they put into the car. Teams in the back of the field will use more wing to better take advantage of the draft, while the front of the field will trim more to try to fend off the tow. Since the implementation of the new chassis, the Indy 500 has come down to late passes in the closing laps. The first four races of the IndyCar season have been won by four different drivers. A different face has been etched into the Borg-Warner Trophy in five of the past six years at Indianapolis. With the parity in the series, combined with the unpredictability of Indianapolis, Power said he hopes everything falls into place. “It’s funny, racing,” Power said. “It’s all just got to fall your way on your day.”

Busch to race 1,100 miles in one day BY SAM BEISHUIZEN sbeishui@indiana.edu

SPEEDWAY, Ind. — Sunday will bear one of motorsport’s ultimate tests of endurance for Kurt Busch — 1,100 combined miles of racing between Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Charlotte Motor Speedway. Four drivers have attempted what the racing community simply calls, “the Double.” The most recent attempt came from Robby Gordon in 2004. Only one driver — Busch’s NASCAR owner Tony Stewart — has completed all 1,100 miles on the same day. Stewart finished sixth in Indianapolis and third in Charlotte in 2001. Simply joining Stewart in completing both premier events would rank as one of the greatest accomplishments in Busch’s career. A win in either of the races — especially Indianapolis — would instantly cement Busch’s name among legends. But Busch isn’t concerned with the history books. He said Indianapolis serves as a new benchmark — a personal goal of testing himself on one of racing’s greatest stages. “It’s not like I’m putting my career or my credentials on the line to prove anything,” Busch said. “This is a moment to check off something on the bucket list, but also to challenge myself to see where I can end up in this open-wheel rank at one of the most difficult races in the world.” Busch’s crossover from the stock car world to the In-

dyCar world has been wellreceived by those at Indianapolis. As Busch finished debriefing with his team before qualifying on May 18, a crowd of about 30 fans had gathered around his pit box. A few of them requested pictures as Busch got onto his golf cart to drive back to the garage, and Busch obliged. For years, the often outspoken Busch has been among NASCAR’s most polarizing figures. The 2004 NASCAR champion carries the nickname “the Outlaw” because of his past history of disagreements with competitors and public scrutiny from comments made to media and his team. But that isn’t the Kurt Busch teammate James Hinchcliffe has seen. Hinchcliffe initially joked that Busch was normally “throwing things and cussing a lot,” but he quickly corrected himself. “No, no, that’s clearly the Kurt of old,” he said after qualifying. “The guy we’ve had has just been awesome. It’s been really cool seeing someone with as much racing knowledge and experience as he has. “He’s brought a lot to the table in that respect. Some of the philosophies are very different, but you’re taking a rookie who happens to have a billion races under his belt.” Despite his experience at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in a stock car, adjusting to drive the radically different No. 26 Dallara-Honda has taken some getting used to. While in NASCAR, the cars Busch described as a “workload truck” would hap-

pily go into Turn 1 around 200 mph. His “sports car” IndyCar makes the first turn at about 230 mph. Like Busch, competitor Juan Pablo Montoya has had experience in both NASCAR and IndyCar. Montoya said he has been impressed with what he has seen from Busch, but he added racing scenarios will be different. “In NASCAR, you get probably about 20 percent of the understeer that you get here, I think,” Montoya explained. “He’s doing a really good job in a really good car with a good team. The racing will be harder because he’s not 100 percent sure what he’s going to get.” Busch got a taste for just how difficult race conditions can be on Monday during the final full day of IndyCar practice. As he exited Turn 2, Busch felt a bobble in the car. He quickly tried to correct the car, but he overcorrected and sent the car into a spin that left Busch with a torn up racecar. It’s the exact scenario Busch will look to avoid in Sunday’s race at Indianapolis. Readjusting to the IndyCar start will be the most challenging aspect. Busch said he will take the first third of the race to simply practice and get his bearings before starting to make his move through the field. “It will be just a matter of controlling emotions, as this is the start,” he said. “The tow of the draft will be phenomenal. It will be overwhelming to the point where breaks will come on to my mind, ‘I’m

slowing down,’ and just staying off of the car in front of me and settling in. It’s a matter of just trusting the car in the dirt dirty air.” Busch said running in the Indianapolis 500 will be a dream come true. He’s called the openwheel paddock a whole new world, and he has been complimentary of the competition and the help he’s gotten from other drivers. Once one dream race comes to an end, Busch will go into NASCAR mode. Busch will hop onto a private plane in his fire suit for a 50-minute flight back to Charlotte, where doctors will attend to him and make sure his health is in the proper state to compete in NASCAR. He’s been training for the endurance test with karate and runs to the gym, but the doctors will serve as precautionary aids. He said he’ll take a nap on the plane, eat and be ready to hit the track once again, chasing a win in NASCAR’s longest race. With the IndyCar race beginning at 12:12 p.m. and lasting roughly three hours and the NASCAR race starting at 6:15 p.m., any delays during the day will cause more stress on the already tight schedule. But Busch said he isn’t worried as much about that. He is only worried about one thing — becoming the second person to complete “the Double” and trying to find a way to win either race on Sunday. “I’m enjoying and taking it all in,” Busch said. “To be on the fourth row of the Indianapolis 500, I’ll give it a thumbs up.”

Sophomore Evan Esselink crosses the finish line first Jan. 18, 2013, during the Gladstein Invitational at the Harry Gladstein Fieldhouse. The event organizers brought in teams from across the country to compete.

Track and field to compete again Several Hoosiers look forward to the NCAA East Preliminary Round for track and field May 29-31 after the team’s regular season came to an end. This follows the Hoosiers’ placement in the Big Ten Outdoor Championships, which took place during the weekend of May 16-18 in West Lafayette. During the Championships, two Hoosiers won first place. Junior Rorey Hunter won the 1,500-meter race and set a facility record in the process. Hunter finished with a time of 3:44.59, the fastest time recorded at the Rankin Track and Field Complex in West Lafayette, home to the Purdue Boilermakers. He joins other Hoosier champions Ben Huber in 2011 and Andy Bayer in 2012 and 2013 as the fourth consecutive champion of the outdoor 1,500 meter race. Joining Hunter in a firstplace finish was senior Kyla Buckley in shot put. Buckley captured the title with a season-best throw of 17.19 meters.

Coming into the championships, IU Coach Ron Helmer said a realistic goal for his young men’s and women’s teams was to finish in the top half of the conference. As a team, IU fell short of that goal in both the men’s and the women’s fields. The IU men’s team placed eighth, and the women’s team placed ninth in the outdoor Big Ten Track and Field Championships. Also earning medals were senior Kelsie Ahbe, with a silver in pole vault, and freshman Tre’Tez Kinnaird, with a silver in the 800-meter race. Senior Robby Nierman earned a silver medal in the 3,000-meter steeplechase on day two of the event with a time of 8:49.72. If competitors make it out of the qualifying round at the NCAA East Preliminary Round which will he held next week, they will go onto the NCAA championships, which will take place June 11-14 in Eugene, Ore.

Michael Sam isn’t perfect

STEPH LANGAN | IDS

Freshman midfielder and defender Patrick Doody fights for the ball as he runs down field during the Hoosiers' 1-0 victory against Ohio State Nov. 5, 2011, at Jerry Yeagley Field.

Men’s soccer to rematch with Georgetown in 2014 The IU men’s soccer team announced its 2014 season schedule. The Hoosiers’ regular season games will include matchups against 10 teams who qualified for the NCAA tournament this past 2013 season,. as well as the reigning NCAA champion Notre Dame and runner-up Maryland. IU will also be home to a rematch of the 2012 NCAA title game against Georgetown. Seven of the team’s opponents were ranked in the top 15 of the past season’s final RPI. “Our 2014 schedule will be one of the toughest schedules in the nation as we compete against some of the best

teams in the country,” IU Coach Todd Yeagley said in a press release. “Our scheduling philosophy is to play a very difficult nonconference schedule in addition to our challenging Big Ten conference opponents.” IU will play two exhibition games before beginning regular season play. The exhibitions will be against Xavier at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 19 at home and against Washington at 7 p.m. Aug. 23 at the National Soccer Festival in Fort Wayne. Regular season play kicks off Aug. 29 with the adidas/ IU Credit Union Classic in Bloomington. Other teams in the Classic are the defending na-

Whether you like it or not, it happened. The introduction of defensive lineman Michael Sam as the first openly gay player on an NFL roster represents a fascinating dichotomy to the world of sports. On one hand, it’s a monumental achievement not only for the gay community but for society’s advancement as a whole. Twenty years ago, in the days of Magic Johnson scandal and the attention the AIDS epidemic received, this whole situation Michael Sam is going through probably never could have happened. But with the increasingly laissez-faire attitude we’re taking with peoples’ personal lives, players are finally comfortable being honest with their sexuality in pro sports. That’s a big deal, considering not so long ago the industry’s status quo on sexual tolerance was more like Ted Nugent than Harvey Milk. And there couldn’t have been a better harbinger for this new, exciting era of not caring that really doesn’t affect us in the first place. Although the Rams didn’t draft him until the seventh round of the NFL draft, Sam was the Southeastern Conference player of the year and a unanimous NCAA All-American as he dominated his competition on a national stage all season long, making himself a household name in the SEC. compassion for your partner’s situation. Take action to produce results, and you’re rewarded. Follow rules. Creativity is required. Find energy. Run it through a reality check. Imagination is required. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is an 8 — Compromise gets achieved with ease. Provide motivation and get farther than expected. Your creativity draws admiration. Add color and style, and push the imaginative envelope. Budget to safeguard essentials. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is an 8 — You’re surrounded by love. It’s a good time for consulting experts.

He conducts himself with poise and class, and his communication skills are as impressive as Adam “Pac Man” Jones’ are terrible. He commended his University of Missouri teammates for accepting him for who he was, and he made sure the media knew he wanted to be thought of as a football player first and foremost. But to say he’s handled the whole situation perfectly is a stretch. Although Sam said he wanted to be thought of as a football player first, his actions from the draft onward have contradicted his initial intentions in more ways than one. The idea that a seventhround pick had NFL cameras in his house on day three of the excruciatingly long NFL draft suggests the league might have decided to use his sexuality for public relations. But you can’t blame that all on Sam. What he is responsible for, though, is the fact that when he got drafted, the first thing he did was lock lips with his boyfriend in a way that made Miami Dolphins safety Don Jones tweet his eloquent views on the matter, “Omg” and “Horrible.” Jones was wrong to go full-Tea Party on Twitter, but to say Sam handled draft day with the focus he said he wanted, wasn’t reflected in his actions after he was picked. He and his boyfriend Apply discipline. Creative fun today could include water, and a spiritual or philosophical perspective. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 7 — Keep a possibility alive with a family member. Take snapshots, and share them. Household improvements are a good investment. Realize a dream at home. Explain theory with optimism. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is an 8 — An illusion works in your favor. Your communications go farther, and provide results. You get lucky. Rely on another’s experience. You have less budgeted than you thought. Research and find a great deal. Details come together.

were the only ones in frame during the whole ordeal, and it’s hard to deny it seemed at least a little contrived and put-on. The kiss itself didn’t make me uncomfortable. It just seemed as if Sam used the opportunity to make a statement after he tried to downplay the whole issue in the months prior to the NFL draft. And only a few days after he was drafted, the talks began with former daytime TV mogul Oprah Winfrey on starting a documentary series about his life as the first ever openly gay football player. Nothing about that screams self-effacement, and the fact the Rams had to nix the series doesn’t exactly match up with his previous feelings of wanting to be treated like every other football player. But even with all that, I couldn’t be happier for Sam. He has a bright future ahead of him, and that he even got drafted shows our society is changing for the better. We’re becoming more tolerant, and peoples’ personal lives just aren’t mattering as much when they don’t affect us. That’s exactly how it should be. aknorth@indiana.edu

Swans give singular and subtly affecting work “To Be Kind” Swans AI’ve been busting out the summertime jams. Daft Punk, Animal Collective circa Merriweather Post Pavilion, that first Kanye West record and some early Beach Boys. I’m listening to the fun stuff that won’t destroy the indie credibility I’ve accrued in my head. Swans aren’t fun, though. They’ve never been fun. Frontman, Michael Gira, spent four months of his adolescence in an adult Jerusalem prison, and “To Be Kind,” the 13th album by experimental rock outfit Swans, sounds like I’d imagine time in a Jerusalem prison would sound. It’s dark, brooding stuff. First, a quick history lesson.

Rudolph and other comedy stars make variety a reality

“The Maya Rudolph Show” Starring: Maya Rudolph, Andy Samberg, Sean Hayes, Kristen Bell B+ Until this past year, I had never watched an episode of “Saturday Night Live.” Put your pitchforks down. I now watch it as religiously as the next guy. However, my late jump on the bandwagon resulted in me missing the careers of many great comedians, including “SNL” legend and “Bridesmaids” star Maya Rudolph. With the launch of her variety show, I’m hoping to make up for it. “The Maya Rudolph Show” kicked off with a hilarious opening number that poked fun at everything from invasive camera angles to Beyoncé and her hair fan. Rudolph even made fun of her own comedy, all while showing off her golden pipes and smooth dance moves. There to help Rudolph introduce her show were “Frozen” star Kristen Bell, “Will and Grace” legend Sean Hayes and fellow “SNL” retirees Fred Armisen, Andy Samberg and Chris Parnell. The skits were clever and didn’t fail to make me laugh. Rudolph, Bell and Hayes united to plot the sequel to “Frozen” through song. Rudolph and Armisen later played the couple who provides the voices of navigation systems. Their annoying robot voices were spot-on and complete with mispronunciation of names, horrible names and aggressive repeating of the same direction.

The show included a musical number based on a pair of puns and a gaggle of sexual innuendos, and it stole my heart. As with every great variety show, there was a great musical guest. Janelle Monáe lit up the stage with an energetic performance of her hit “Electric Lady.” The special ended with an unimpressive dance-off between Rudolph and Samberg, who was dressed as if he had just moonwalked out of the 1970s. The ending wasn’t as amazing as the show built it up to be. But, overall, it was entertaining and the perfect way to introduce this generation to the genre of variety shows. Variety shows, such as “The Sonny and Cher Show” ruled television in the 1960s and ’70s. Excluding the success of “SNL,” variety shows in this era face a problem that often results in failure. Variety shows demand the attention of an audience with the risk of performing sketches that don’t appeal to them. In the ’60s and ’70s, audiences had fewer options, whereas today, we have hundreds of channels at our disposal, not to mention DVRs to catch up with and Netflix to which we sell our souls. But we can’t underestimate the brilliance of a comedian such as Maya Rudolph. Rudolph knows how to attract a large audience and keep it. She knows the kind of comedy she needs to perform to relate to various groups of people. In complete honesty, “The Maya Rudolph Show” is a lot like “SNL,” but you never have to worry about having a lousy host. Rudolph and producer Lorne Michaels know what they’re doing. They are prepared to bring this brand of old-style television to the 21st century. BY LEXIA BANKS

Swans formed in 1982 as part of New York’s No Wave scene. The band played arguably the heaviest post-punk out there, and legend has it that the sheer volume of its early shows was loud enough to make audiences physically ill. Swans eventually called it quits in 1997, but not before releasing the 2 1/2 hour post-rock touchstone, “Soundtracks for the Blind.” It reunited in 2010 and has since released a steady stream of records ranging from great to excellent that Gira describes as “body-destroying and souluplifting.” So what’s this one sound like? Well, let’s go down the old Swans checklist. Spooky drones? Yep. Hypnotizing guitars and really freaking loud drums? You bet. Disturbing vocals? Oh, yeah. “Just a Little Boy” sports Gira’s

most unsettling performance yet. But for the business-as-usual Swans sound, there are still some amazing departures, such as the Eastern-tinged knuckle dragger of a bass line that opens “Screen Shot,” or the math-y drums and twisted brass section that propel the single “Oxygen” through its scorching eight minutes. Then there’s “Bring the Sun.” Good God, is this something else. The 34-minute epic earns every second of its length, opening with pummeling guitars and drums and winding through deserts of feedback, e-bow, chimes and chants. It’s trance-inducing. Listened to in the dark and with the proper mindset, the experience is nothing short of revelatory. It’s really difficult to describe “To Be Kind” in any more detail. The melodies on the record

come and go as they please, leaving more of a vague feeling than they do an actual memory. I’ve listened to it four times. That’s almost eight hours, and I still can’t say I totally get the record yet. “To Be Kind” is a challenging, unsettling and uncompromising album. The first listen might try your patience. The second might too. But give it enough time, and “To Be Kind” reveals a side of Swans that previously has been pretty rare. The first disc closer, “Some Things We Do,” sums it up nicely. After a laundry list of humanity’s various failures, Michael Gira begins to chant “we love,” and once all the atonal strings and creeping guitar plucks drop out, there’s a real, humane tenderness to Gira’s monotone vocals, proving Swans isn’t all sound and fury.

Large-scale lizard entertains with less character in its wake “Godzilla” Starring: Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ken Watanabe, Bryan Cranston B Your enjoyment of “Godzilla” will probably depend on your expectations. If you had been led to believe that the storytelling was characterdriven and impressive, you will be disappointed. The movie’s plot focuses on a nuclear engineer (Bryan Cranston) and his son (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), a

bomb disposal expert for the Navy. The pair tries to thwart the giant monsters wreaking havoc across the Pacific Ocean with the help of scientist Dr. Ishiro Serizawa (Ken Watanabe). For a human element, Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s character is also trying to get back to his wife (Elizabeth Olsen) and their son. The plot’s main problem is the writing. The characters usually speak in clichés or melodramatic sound bites — that is, if they are not crying or shouting for their loved ones. As callous as that might sound, in a movie where tens of thousands are dying, there is never a moment where you are told why you should be invested in this particular family. As a result, the scenes where our heroes try to rendezvous with each other end up being the boring ones

you wish you could skip to get to the monster fights. But boy, are they great monster fights. Director Gareth Edwards gives us spectacle that feels grander than the fare offered in recent, similar movies such as “Man of Steel” or the “Transformers” franchise. Those movies made the mistake of throwing explosions at audiences non-stop. “Godzilla” understands that, for a moment to be epic, it needs to be built to. The movie balances large-scale monsters with quieter moments that build tension. One such scene is the aerial troop deployment highlighted in the movie’s first trailer. Here we see a few dozen soldiers jump from a tremendous altitude at sunset. Red smoke streams from

them as they fall. Anticipation builds as we hear one trooper’s heart rate quicken as he nears the devastated city below. These first-person perspective moments make us scan the screen for behemoth silhouettes, and they give the film a sense of scale other monster movies lack. While it would have been nice to see some of the story’s characters and subtler themes further explored, the film definitely keeps viewers entertained, and it is a promising reboot to one of cinema’s seminal characters.
