Nicholas Wolfe had a passion for helping people, reflected in his desire to be a physician and his involvement with IUDM. The IU sophomore, 20, died Thursday, Sept. 3, from “injuries sustained in an accident,” his sister, Samantha Wolfe, said in an email. One of three children, Nicholas was from Carmel, Indiana, where he graduated from Carmel High School in 2014. A member of Phi Delta Epsilon, a medical fraternity, Nicholas was studying exercise science with a minor in classical literature,

Samantha, 17, said. Nicholas was also an avid Indianapolis Colts fan and hoped one day to be a physician for the NFL team. “He talked to me about how he wanted to be the team physician for the Colts, which I thought was very ambitious,” said Matt Razavian, IU junior and vice president of recruitment for Phi Delta Epsilon. “But I thought that he had the drive, and he had the intelligence to do whatever he wanted to do.” Shreya Patel, IU junior and social chair for Phi Delta Epsilon, echoed the sentiment. “He was one of those SEE WOLFE, PAGE 6

The Hoosiers find success through strong running game

IU narrowly escapes loss versus Salukis By Brody Miller

48-47

Even the play that sealed the victory wasn’t satisfying. The pass on a 2-point conversion with seconds remaining hit the Southern Illinois receiver square in the numbers. If he wrapped his arm around the ball, held on tightly and fell backward, IU might be 0-1 and answering to angry fans about how it lost to an FCS program. However, the ball was knocked out by freshman defensive back Andre Brown, and Southern Illinois’ late comeback was not enough to defeat IU. The 659 yards of Saluki offense wasn’t able to push them over the hump against a defense with several rotation players out of the lineup for disciplinary reasons.

Stadium, and it wasn’t pretty. But IU did make the stop in the end, even after allowing Southern Illinois to drive 75 yards on five plays and score. “We’ve been preaching all camp, it’s just play the next play,” sophomore linebacker Marcus Oliver said. “It’s like when you’re tackling, it’s no matter how pretty the tackle was, you got the tackle.” It’s the same thing when it comes to a win, Oliver said. The game was chaos. Before the IU football season had even begun, there was a delay of game, and nine players were suspended for the season opener. The moments that followed were not any more ideal.

After Southern Illinois’ 49-yard field goal was blocked on the opening drive, the Hoosiers pushed their way on a seven-play drive to the 13-yard line. This put the team in prime position for a pass from their returning senior quarterback Nate Sudfeld, possibly to a 6-foot-5 tight end or 6-foot-4 receiver in the back of the end zone. But they didn’t put the ball in Sudfeld’s hands. Instead, they handed it off to sophomore running back Devine Redding, who found a seam between the left tackle and guard and trotted his way untouched into the endzone for an early 7-0 lead.

County 4th Street Festival shows variety of artists takes step for needle exchange By Christian Kemp cjkemp@indiana.edu

By Matthew Bloom aaronmattbloom@gmail.com

Monroe County is one step closer to opening a needle exchange program in Bloomington. At a public hearing Friday morning, Monroe County commissioners voted unanimously to uphold health commissioner Thomas Sharp’s declaration of a local public health emergency. The final hurdle before Monroe County can open its own needle exchange program is to gain approval from state health commissioner Jerome Adams. During an hour of presentations in the Monroe County courthouse, local healthcare providers and representatives from the county’s health department spoke about the immediate need for a needle exchange program. County commissioner Julie Thomas said she fears most residents have no idea the gravity of what’s going on in their community. “The word ‘emergency’ implies something short-term ... this is a crisis,” she said. “This is a health crisis, SEE HEALTH, PAGE 6

People collected around Jennifer Mujezinovic’s exhibit at the Fourth Street Festival from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Her tent stood directly in front of Mandalay Restaurant at the center of the festival. Two of her three children bore the humidity with her in exchange for Cokes. A Bloomington resident, Mujezinovic is known by many, though artists traveled to the festival from all over the nation to present their work. Extravagant, sensual faces stared back at visitors of Mujezinovic’s tent. Her portraits invoked more than an appreciation for aesthetic beauty in some people. Mujezinovic said she had a passion for creating what she calls abstract portraits. Visitors looked at Mujezinovic’s stylistic portraits of women wearing abstract conceptions of beauty. “I look for a beautiful face,” she said. “Half the people I paint are my friends.” The hobbyist-turned-respectedartist of Chicago, New York and Bloomington’s Fourth Street Festival taught herself art while living abroad. Mujezinovic graduated from IU in the mid 90s. Afterward, she left for Spain with her husband, former

IU basketball player Haris Mujezinovic, who continued playing the game in Europe. One night, while drawing meditatively, she made the image of a proud, young, Spanish woman with her chin held high, wearing a head scarf. That image, produced on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, appears on her business card today. She stood by a table that had a stack of those cards. Her prints were priced at $60. A few weeks ago, she sold an original for $4,500 in Chicago. Mujeznovic waved a folding fan before her face as the heat grew to a heat index of more than 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Some artists at the event discussed whether or not the humidity deterred people from attending. As an artist, Mujeznovic said she was in her element regardless of the heat. She said her art and the people who were curious about what she spent her time doing were all under one tent. She studied one of her paintings. She mentioned inspirations for her work, which ranged from the beauty of a human face to the kindness of a former academic advisor, who helped her greatly in her college career. “Sometimes it’s about leaving something behind,” she said. The competition for admittance to rent a booth is fierce, with some artists being turned away from receiving tent space.

Jennifer Carnopp and her family stop at artists Rick and Linda Bachman’s Laffing Stock booth and look at the artwork displayed during the 4th Steet Festival Saturday Morning. Rick and Linda Bachman are both self-employed artists visiting from Denver, Colorado. “We love humor, we love animals and we just combine them together,” said Linda.

Two artists, wanting their work shown to others, didn’t give up despite lacking a tent. Jacob Gardner, better known as “Painter Jake” in and around Bloomington, created the impression of street art on variously sized canvas boards with paint markers, stencils and spray paint. However, Gardner did not just exercise this artistic talent in the time prior to the festival. He painted on the street before everyone’s eyes. His paintings, largely reminiscent of pulp artists famous for creating entertaining magazine covers, were scattered all around him. A chain of people eager to see the colorful and odd canvas works

gathered in the midst of this blurred act of creation. Gardner’s apprentice of the last two years, Sarah Bear, talked to people interested enough to pause in their departures from local restaurants. Thomas Harlan, a preacher from Lynchburg, Virginia, bought a psychedelic revision of Jesus Christ that the duo created. “We all know that’s not really Jesus,” Harlan said. “But it’s fun. These guys know what fun is.” Harlan returned later to thank the two artists a second time. “I love the lifestyle, the traveling
