‘AND FIGHT WE WILL’ IU’s Sigma Phi Epsilon chapter rallies around mentor, Phil Cox, as he battles cancer By Annie Garau agarau@indiana.edu | @agarau6
Hanging above the stairs that descend into Sigma Phi Epsilon’s entryway, bold red letters read, “Fight like Phil Today.” As each fraternity brother passes underneath them, they smack their hands against the words, hoping to live out that message. More than 30 years ago, a young Phil Cox lived in this same IU house. Sitting on the floor eating Dominos pizza, the fraternity’s future national president likely had no idea a tribute such as this would someday hang in his honor. He couldn’t have known then the extent to which his Sig Ep membership would change his life, that it would provide him with a career, a family and an unshakable support system through his toughest battle. * * * When the doctors first told Phil he had cancer in February 2013, he had only two questions: Would he be healthy in time for Conclave, Sig Ep’s national gathering, and would he lose his hair? “Yes. And oh hell, yes,” a doctor replied. Since then, Phil’s life has been a tumultuous journey of very high highs and the lowest of lows. He went through chemotherapy for the cancer that had crept into his throat, his signature red hair fell out, his clothes began to look baggy. He went into remission, he was elected grand president of the fraternity, he started eating again. Five months into his presidency, the cancer came back with a vengeance, claiming half of his tongue, most of his remaining body fat and his ability to swallow. It’s been more than a year and a half since he’s had one bite of food. Domino’s commercials now make him cringe. “To see the pain he goes through on a daily basis and never complains about, it’s incredible,” said Phillip Cox, Phil’s son. “He never makes me lose hope. He always has his game face on and looks at everything like just another step on the road to recovery.” Though Phil is still fighting the disease with an experimental shock therapy, doctors guess he has months left to live. In August, he was awarded the Order of the Golden Heart, Sig Ep’s highest honor. “It represents a lifetime of volunteering,” Phil said, chuckling. “Maybe they thought my life was about over.” SEE PHIL, PAGE 5

FOOTBALL
Wilson gives defense attention By Taylor Lehman trlehman@indiana.edu | @trlehman_iu
IU Coach Kevin Wilson spent the practice week after the Southern Illinois game giving extra attention to the defense. He said he did some extra yelling too. The result of that extra attention was a reduction in total yardage surrendered, from 659 yards against SIU to 406 against Florida International Saturday. Wilson credits this change to an adjustment of defensive aggression. “We told them that being aggressive was not the solution,” Wilson said about the defense. “It was a part of the equation, but it wasn’t the total solution. We still need to communicate. We still needed to adjust. We still need to come over and clean some things up. Just being reckless.”
He said playing side-to-side and reacting to the offense keeps the defense on its heels and inhibits tackling and plugging holes. Playing vertically and attacking gaps is the reason they kept FIU to just 123 rushing yards and pressured the quarterback throughout the entire game, he said. Tegray Scales returning Sophomore linebacker Tegray Scales was suspended for the first two weeks of the season for undisclosed reasons, and his absence has been felt in the middle of the defense, as IU defensive coordinator Brian Knorr called him the “most athletic linebacker” on the roster. Sophomore linebacker Marcus Oliver has played in place of Scales for the first two games. He has recorded fumble recoveries in both games and applied pressure on FIU
quarterback Alex McGough, forcing him to throw the game-sealing fourth quarter interception to freshman Jameel Cook. His positive play has earned him playing time, Wilson said — even with Scales back on the field. “(TJ Simmons) is playing good, so you need those guys,” Wilson said. “You need them all. Marcus is a good player. T.J. is a good player. That’s why we moved (Greg) Gooch (to bandit). You got Tegray back in the mix, who maybe is the best of all of them.” Dominique Booth Sophomore wide receiver Dominique Booth, who has not caught a pass this season and hasn’t seen the field in the first two games, has suffered an injury that dates back to SEE DEFENSE, PAGE 5

Plan commissioners approve Echo Park By Lyndsay Jones jonesly@indiana.edu | @lindsayjonesy
The Bloomington Plan Commission approved another residential development project Monday, despite a public comment forum that pleaded it to do otherwise. Echo Park, a project brought to the commissioners by petitioner H.M. Mac Property, is projected as a multi-family residential area on the south side of town. The property will be a mix of studio and one -to-three person bedroom units, totaling 148 units when completed. The plan commission met Monday evening to consider the changes the petitioner had made since a previous meeting on Aug. 10 — namely doing a lighting study and a traffic study to see the effects the units would have the nearby intersection of Walnut Street Pike and
Winslow Road. Since Echo Park will be constructed near Sunny Slopes neighborhood, several residents came to the meeting to express concerns with the upcoming construction of Echo Park. “I am the president of the Sherwood Hills Homeowners Association,” David Keppel said. “I am also a cyclist and a pedestrian. I am not going to speak for or against the petitioner’s request, because we are not immediate neighbors. What remains true is that as a pedestrian and a cyclist, the greatest risk to my life is getting killed at the intersection of Walnut Street Pike and Winslow.” The traffic study H.M. Mac Property initiated concluded traffic volume on the streets near Echo SEE ECHO PARK, PAGE 5

Senatorial candidate speaks with students By Julie Masterson julmaste@indiana.edu
To make America safer, stronger and freer, senatorial candidate Eric Holcomb expressed a variety of topics in order to fulfill this goal. Students and faculty gathered in the Kelley School of Business Graduate Side on Monday, Sept. 14 to show support for Holcomb in his candidacy. The event was organized by College Republicans at Indiana University, or IUGOP, a student group focused on promoting the ideals of the Republican Party as well as aiding in the election of Republican candidates on the local and national levels. A United States Navy veteran and former state chairman of the Indiana Republican Party, Holcomb served as campaign manager for Governor Mitch Daniels’ gubernatorial reelection campaign. Most recently Holcomb served as State Chief of Staff to U.S. Sen. Dan Coats, R-IN from 2013 to 2015. Holcomb announced his candidacy in March 2015, shortly after Coats announced that he would not be running for reelection. After a brief introduction, Holcomb enumerated the ten topics he considered to be most pertinent, including both foreign and domestic issues. “I’m going to run a posi-

Throughout his campaign, Holcomb has visited all of Indiana’s 92 counties. Holcomb is currently racing against Rep. Marlin Stutzman, R-3rd District and Rep. Todd Young, R-9th District for the Republican senatorial nomination. “Putting together a team of individuals from all walks of life and from all counties that are invested in this

Law school creates finance program By Julie Masterson julmaste@indiana.edu
The IU Maurer School of Law has collaborated with Chapman and Cutler LLP to create a program that provides IU graduates interested in finance and law an opportunity to get hands-on training and work experience. “I’d been looking into developing a broader pipeline program, and Chapman and Cutler was interested in doing it,” said Austen Parrish, dean of the Maurer School of Law and James H. Rudy Professor of Law. “We met over lunch and a cup of coffee and went from there.” Based in Chapman and Cutler’s office in Chicago, the Finance Law Development Program is a two-year, salaried program through which selected college graduates serve as practice development associates. Through this program, they work closely with Chapman attorney teams on various legal projects. Parrish said the Maurer School of Law has had a strong relationship with Chapman and Cutler, a law firm focused on both public and corporate finance, and he said a number of IU
alumni are working there as attorneys. “They’re trying to recruit from the Kelley School of Business, Informatics, students in the SPEA Law and Public Policy program,” Parrish said. “But they’re really looking at anyone who is interested and talented.” Students interested in applying for the program can do so at the Finance Law Development Program’s application page or through Kelley Connect. “For most law schools, students come in as law students, they try to do as well as they can, and then they go out and interview for jobs,” Parrish said. “There’s not a clear connection between the admissions process and the career-placement process.” The program starts with a four-week boot camp designed to introduce participants to finance law concepts, law firm economics and other pertinent topics, such as basic business organizations, project management, drafting skills, negotiations and applied legal technology. As a part of the program, participants will assist Chapman and Cutler’s practice innovations team, which works with the firm’s
attorneys to apply new technologies to improve work-flow and collaboration with clients, according to the firm’s website. By encouraging participants to engage with a variety of the firm’s practice groups, the program’s stated goal is to give participants an in-depth understanding of the type of work Chapman and Cutler professionals do, according to the firm’s website. “This program is unique in that it takes into account how to develop students with particular skill sets over a period of time,” Parrish said. “It’s a way for Chapman to develop talent with students that are interested in working at Chapman.” During the two-year rotational program, selected participants will receive a competitive salary and benefits. Participants interested in pursuing a law degree may also be eligible for designation as a Chapman Law Fellow, following successful completion of the program, according to the program website. Chapman will offer fellows assistance with their law school applications, as well as provide reimbursement for the
cost of their LSAT review courses. The law school will provide fellows who meet certain undergraduate GPA and LSAT benchmarks with a guaranteed scholarship, valued at $75,000 for nonresidents, according to the program website. Chapman will also offer fellows an interest-free loan toward housing expenses, as well as summer employment after their first and second years after graduation. Overall financial aid for a student who successfully completes the two-year rotational program and the law fellowship may exceed $200,000, according to the firm’s website. “Students going into this program are getting significant financial aid and housing support, and they’re getting a large scholarship, so that will make it affordable,” Parrish said. “It takes out a little bit of the risk because students will be going into law school almost knowing there’s going to be a job for them at the end.” Chapman will have an on-campus reception Sunday, Oct. 4, and will conduct on-campus interviews for the program Monday, Oct. 5.
students from a variety of majors and backgrounds, with their constitution serving as the guiding document, Gamache said. The group is directed by a committee of nine elected individuals, with elections taking place each November. IUGOP has weekly meetings at 8 p.m. Mondays in the Kelley School of
Business Graduate Side room 2061, according to the group’s website. “The most exciting part about tonight’s event is that a candidate trying to be part of that body is coming to talk to a bunch of 20-somethings,” Gamache said. “Because our vote counts just as much as a businessperson worth millions, and that’s the beauty of democracy.”
Library receives new dining options By Maia Rabenold mrabenol@indiana.edu | @maialyra
If you have visited the Herman B Wells Library this semester, you might have noticed a pop-up sign by the escalator with the message that the dining facilities in the basement are currently closed for construction. This project is transforming the former Cyber Café into the new Bookmark(et) Eatery. The plan began in November 2014, when a decision was made by campus leadership to change the management of the cafe from the IMU to Residential Programs and Services, in order to better serve customers in general and increase the quality of dining options. Fixing the problems with the Cyber Café entailed gutting the entire location of interior walls and equipment. This is needed to create a larger space for the multiple restaurants that will call the Wells Library home The estimated opening is scheduled for the first day of classes in January 2016. “Starting from scratch has allowed RPS to work with food service design consultants to create a space that can more effectively serve customers but also provide a better environment to connect with other students, faculty and staff,” said Patrick Connor, the executive director of RPS. From a student standpoint, the biggest issue with the former Cyber Café was not the space or the
food selection, but rather the possible modes of payment, sophomore Shannon McPike said. Similar to the variety of restaurants that are available in the IMU, the Cyber Café accepted Campus Access cards, credit cards and cash, but not meal plan points. “The only problem was that you couldn’t use meal points,” McPile said. “That’s why I didn’t eat there often. If meal points can be used, I’m excited about the new restaurant.” As of right now, there is no answer as to whether or not the new eatery will accept meal points, but since it is now under the management of RPS instead of the IMU, it is a possibility. The new dining area will feature five microrestaurants. These will include the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, a global brand with locations in more than 25 countries; Scholars Inn Bakehouse, serving burgers and breakfast food; Crema Dolce, an ice cream shop serving products from the Chocolate Moose; the Traveler, a restaurant specializing in international cuisine; and Panino Mio, serving paninis and desserts. “We feel that this mix will be very exciting for students and the rest of the Bloomington community,” Connor said. “These new dining options, along with partnerships with local favorites, will come together to offer an exciting vibe at the center of the IUB campus.”

Savannah "Bipolar Curves" Simmons calls out to a skater during Bleeding Heartland Roller Derby's skill camp Monday.
Rollergirls host skills camp By Javonte Anderson ja69@indiana.edu | @JavonteA
There’s pushing, shoving, falling and bruising. All the skaters consider it a full contact sport. It’s roller derby. It’s more than entertainment, provocative nicknames and an alluring theatrical element, said Savannah “Bipolar Curves” Simmons, the Bleeding Heartland Rollergirls’ player and coach. “This isn’t like the 70’s, we aren’t in costumes, and this isn’t the WWE,” she said. “It’s not an issue where we come in and talk about what fishnets we’re going to wear. We train like anyone else would for any other sport.” The Bleeding Heartland Rollergirls hosted a skills camp Monday evening at Western Skateland. Patrons were shown different skating techniques and given a basic tutorial about roller derby.
They laced up their skates, strapped on kneepads and fastened the straps on their helmets. Then the Bleeding Heartland Roller Girls entered the track and scrimmaged for camp attendees. “Today, the goal is to present a completely no pressure environment,” Simmons said. “It’s a chance for people to check it out and see if they want to return.” The event isn’t only good for bringing in new skaters. “It’s a huge recruitment tool,” Michelle Melhouse, Bleeding Heartland’s Roller Derby Marketing Director, said. “We use it to attract skaters, officials, volunteers and fans. Some people come and realize skating isn’t for them, so they become volunteers or fans.” Melhouse said she hopes the skills camp influences people to personally invest in roller derby.
“We want people to fall in love with it enough to purchase their own skates and eventually gear,” she said. Camp participant Dani Brown, an IU junior, said she enjoyed the day. “I learned a lot about the sport, what it takes and about the people involved,” she said. Brown said she loves the physicality of roller derby. “I’m a competitive person,” she said. “I really like to get knocked around a lot. I’ll be back 100 percent.” Simmons said most people underestimate how difficult roller derby can be. “People don’t know that we work out hard,” she said. “We come run, we do core, we lift. We train like anyone else would for any other sport.” Bleeding Heartland Roller Derby is a part of the Women’s Flat Track Derby

Bleeding Heartland Rollergirls compete to earn rankings with teams from all over the world, Melhouse said. Melhouse said the league’s goal this year is to qualify for the WFTDA tournament. The top 40 teams in the world qualify. Simmons said she hopes that the participants leave with a better understanding of how roller derby works but most importantly that they have fun. “We’re hoping they see that it’s really fun,” she said. Simmons encouraged all participants to be patient and persevere if they’re interested. “Our whole point is to show you that you can do it,” she said. “It’s just baby steps. We were all there before.”
Think what you can accomplish
Genetically modified produce sold at the Bloomington Community Farmers’ Market may have to be labeled in the future in response to customer interest, market manager Marcia Veldman said Monday. In an effort to educate citizens about GMOs, Veldman helped arrange a panel discussion featuring five community members at City Hall on Monday. She said she believes there is a lot of confusion surrounding GMOs. “I want for people to really have an understanding of the broader issues, so when they are making a judgement it’s an informed decision,” she said. Veldman said the IU School of Public Health found in a study that 77 percent of market customers want GMO produce to be labeled. She also said she wants what is best for market customers, farmers and vendors. Answering the need for labeling could be a step in that direction. Marti Crouch, an environmental consultant, explained that genetically modifying an organism means removing a specific gene from an organism, manipulating it in a laboratory and then reintroducing it into that organism’s DNA. This is done to strengthen certain qualities like size or r esistance to pesticides. Produce is also genetically modified to withstand herbicides and insecticides, which kill crop-destroying pests like rootworm and earworm — two bugs that can be fatal. Crouch acknowledged public concerns about food safety, particularly about Bt corn, which contains Bacillus thuringiensis, a soil bacterium to keep bugs away from crops. “The Bt proteins are insec-
ticides, and they’re produced inside the tissues of the corn plant all the time,” she said. “So they’re present in the product that you eat. These have been approved for human consumption ... some of us are not confident in the regulatory process.” David Simmons, a farmer who grows Bt sweet corn, said GMOs are great. They save him time, labor, chemicals and money, and are advantageous to the environment, he said. He doesn’t have to till his land as often, and that reduces soil erosion. He said his corn is more resistant to weeds and bugs, and that means he doesn’t have to spray chemicals into the environment. “I didn’t spray a single acre of my sweet corn his year,” he said. Still, several panelists disagreed on the necessity and morality of growing genetically modified food. “My own personal belief is that it’s unnecessary,” said Jeff Padgett, a farmers market gardener. He said he doesn’t use any chemical fertilizers. “What we’ve found is it take a lot of effort, and it takes a lot of record keeping to see how best to grow our crop without those things, but it can be done,” Padgett said. “That’s where I come from.” Veldman said she wants citizens to realize GMOs are “a complex issue.” Ultimately, she said the decision to require labeling is up to the Parks and Recreation Department — but the Farmers Market Advisory Council, which includes customers and farm vendors, also has a say. “Certainly given the survey results, there’s a lot of interest in having produce labeling,” she said.

Family dynamics are ever-changing Since our earliest memories, our society has stressed the inherent value of the nuclear, biological, heterosexual family. This semblance is held as the lifeblood of our culture, and its absence is used time and time again to mindlessly explain away social ills. However, I am not convinced that the presence or absence of this structure alone can protect or break a family. Today the broad landscape of the “American Family” is constantly evolving. With this expanding definition of family, we are faced with two primary options. Individually, we can either hold fast to tradition or embrace the changes our nation’s families are experiencing. So as to prepare ourselves for a brighter and more positive tomorrow, I believe we should embrace the diversity of the current family life. Cynthia Crosson-Tower, a child and family welfare academic, states that family is a group of people who live together or engage in regular contact that depend upon each other for some form of consistent support. How a family shapes itself is dependent upon a variety of factors: social boundaries, culture, socioeconomic situations and — of course — the complex nature of intimate partnerships converging to form a family environment. As divorce rates have risen, the number of blended families has climbed throughout the years. More children live with a single parent or grandparent than ever before. Additionally, after years of fighting for recognition and legal protection, nearly

2 percent of children in the United States have same-sex parents. In my personal experience, all issues relating to family structure should be approached with warmth and an open understanding. A parent’s best friend can serve as a legitimate uncle to a child, while a next-door neighbor could grow to become a child’s grandmother. Today, who a family actively includes in daily life is more important than blood or legality. Adoption is another hotly contested aspect of modern family life. Much of our culture still holds “natural” childbirth and rearing above all other designs — after all, it’s “your blood.” To a certain extent I can agree with this logic, as adoption is most certainly not meant for everyone. I believe this is fine, and that individuals and couples considering adoption need to keep this in mind. There is no shame in just admitting that adoption is not right for you and your family. However, we must be careful not to shame the families that do adopt or seek alternative conception and birth measures. Above all else, we must be sensitive and open to the ways in which families are forming around us. If we are able to celebrate diverse and relative definitions of family, we have positioned ourselves to embrace a more inclusive future.
ALL RILED UP
Transforming the rape culture in our society Rape culture has become a bit of a buzzword in recent months, but its growing usage in the media is a sign of a cultural revolution IU took part in last Thursday night. A student organization called Students Against State Violence spoke out with a Demonstration Against Patriarchal Assault rally, showing necessary public support against rape culture, which will hopefully spark legal recognition as well. Rape culture is described by Emilie Buchwald, author of “Transforming a Rape Culture,” as a “complex set of beliefs that encourage male sexual aggression and supports violence against women,” that also “condones physical and emotional terrorism against women as the norm.” This means that in our culture, men and women recognize the threat to women’s safety and think it to be normal, unchangeable and, most importantly, the responsibility of women. This is why women are questioned about what they were wearing when they are attacked. This is why it is drilled into our heads that we can never walk anywhere alone. This is why so many women keep feelings of guilt and blame when they are attacked, when the blame lies solely with the attacker, no matter what the woman was wearing, where she was or who she was with. This rally was in retaliation against a pervasive culture at IU, but, most specifically, it was timed to respond to a rape that took place behind Kilroy’s Dunnkirk on Kirkwood Aug. 29. According to the Indiana Daily Student, an officer found two people who appeared to be engaging in sexual activity, one of whom claimed the activity was non-consenual. No arrest was made, causing SASV to call the IU Po-

lice Department negligent, and its assault prevention program “lackluster” and “superficial.” IUPD Lt. Craig Monroe has said there is more to the case than the public knows, making it easy for us to jump to the wrong conclusions about what really happened that night. That might be true, but worse still is the recent allegation against an IUPD parttime officer — who has since resigned — who allegedly raped a student. SASV also called for the end of the program that allows IUPD cadets to live in the residence halls and police patrols in the dorms. SASV understandably sees it as yet another danger for women, instead of security. But the rally and this issue are much bigger than one crime. It simply reflects a changing attitude on this campus about the reality of sexual abuse. Every week there is a new report on campus. Students are most affected and frightened by these crimes, so now they’re speaking out. These ideas have been gaining traction as of late and not only with students. President Obama has launched an initiative called “It’s On Us” to try to combat rape culture on campuses. Congress is voting on a bill concerning campus assault. Though many advocacy groups condemn the bill, the fact that this very real problem is finally being considered at the federal level brings it to the attention of those who might enact legislation to aid victims and students at risk of sexual assault on campus. jordrile@indiana.edu
ILLUSTRATION BY KIRA BUSHMAN | IDS
The politics of correctness WE SAY: Jenner’s ignorance comes at a cost Controversy has swirled around Caitlyn Jenner for her recent comments about same-sex marriage on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.” “I’m older than most people in the audience, you know,” Jenner said. “I mean, I kind of like tradition, and you know, it’s always been a man and a woman.” While everyone is entitled to their own opinions and beliefs, it is no surprise why Jenner’s comments have sparked some confusion and maybe even anger. She went on to say, “If that word ‘marriage’ is really, really that important to you, I can go with it.” There’s definitely a hint of hypocrisy in there somewhere. Not to mention she said this to Ellen DeGeneres, a known lesbian, who just celebrated her seventh wedding anniversary with Portia de Rossi on Aug. 16. Can you say awkward? The Editorial Board believes if Jenner wants support and acceptance as a transgender woman from the LGBTQ community, first she should take some of her own advice and be a little more
supportive of same-sex couples. However, we also understand that Jenner has identified as a Republican for all of her life and grew up in a conservative household, so it might take some time for her to warm up to the idea of same-sex marriage. Because of her lifelong identity as a Republican, she still has a lot of preconceptions about issues regarding the LGBTQ community. Who knows, maybe she just sits around her Malibu home watching Fox News all day. Or maybe she’s just a Republican because she’s rich? But wait a minute. Being transgender does not align with Republican views either, making it a little harder to believe her political beliefs are the reason Jenner has a hard time supporting gay marriage. It’s no secret that some of the LGBTQ community has been known to openly discriminate against transgender people, so we can’t be too surprised that some in these communities are at odds regarding a hot issue in our country.
Jenner talks with transgender people from all walks of life on her reality show “I Am Cait,” from people of color to low-income transgender people. On her show, Jenner genuinely tries to understand the lives of the people she talks to and the struggles they face. It seems that there is a bit of a gap between the Jenner on her show and the Jenner in the public spotlight. The Editorial Board thinks if we give her enough time to listen to people’s views on why gay marriage is important to them, hopefully she will begin to understand where they are coming from. As a public figure who has aligned herself with the LGBTQ community, it is crucial that she do her best to understand her fellow human beings’ struggle or she is just another naysayer. Though it is important to recognize we cannot just lump all LGBTQ people together like the acronym suggests, they are parts of a marginalized community, so it just makes sense that they would support each other. Like we said before, she’s entitled to her opinion ... but in this case, she’s still wrong.
NATALIE KNOWS
A question of religion and morality More children in the United States are “growing up godless” than any other time in its history, according to a Pews Research Center study in 2012. For some, this has called their morality into question. How can these children possibly learn morality if their parents are godless heathens? Can people be moral without being religious? As it turns out, secular households are doing quite well when it comes to teaching strong ethical standards and empathy to their offspring. Vern Bengston, professor of gerontology and sociology at the University of Southern California, conducted a 2013 study to understand how family life and intergenerational influences play out among the nonreligious. To his surprise, he found high levels of family solidarity, emotional closeness between parents and children
and strong ethical and moral standards. Other studies have found secular teens are much less likely to care what the “cool kids” think, or express a need to fit in with them versus their religious peers. And according to a 2010 Duke University study, as secular teens become adults, they exhibit less racism as well. Secular adults tend to be less vengeful, less nationalistic, less militaristic, less authoritarian and more tolerant on average than their religious counterparts. Phil Zuckerman, professor of sociology and secular studies at Pitzer College, found and wrote in a LA Times op-ed that for secular people, “morality is predicted on one simple principle: empathetic reciprocity, widely known as the Golden Rule.” Religion is not required to be empathetic, nor must morality stem from a book or a
bearded white dude from up above. It comes from within. Honestly, I did not realize any of this was even up for debate because it was already inherently obvious. Of course one does not need religion to be a good person or to know empathy. Being religious does not necessarily equate to possessing a strong moral code. As someone who identifies as nonreligious, I struggle to grasp so many aspects of religion. I can understand the purpose it serves: people put their faith into a belief, a god and a hope. They come together under this belief and find solidarity. On rare occasions, I slightly envy the religious. I cannot believe in the afterlife because, quite simply, I was not raised to think that way. All I know is that I’ll die someday, and that will probably be it for me. Also, biblical references just fly over my head.
Natalie Rowthorn is a senior in journalism.
But when religion is the source, or rather an excuse, for discrimination, violence, blind hatred and constant conflict, it becomes unfathomable to me. I understand the good that can come out of religion, but I am too frequently overwhelmed by the bad. I do what I believe is right because that is what it means to be a good person, not because it’s my “Christian duty.” In no way am I saying you have to be against God to be a good person, but you certainly don’t need religion to be one either. You just have to be good because that’s what it means to truly be a good human being. nrowtho@indiana.edu

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
* * * Phil regularly claims every good thing that has happened to him since college can be traced directly back to Sig Ep. He came to IU from Poseyville, Indiana, a southern farm town home to barely more than 1,000 residents. Most of his high school classmates did not go to college, nor did they dress, speak or act like the young men Phil would befriend on the Bloomington campus. “It really took a small town boy and turned him into a man,” he said of his time as an undergraduate. After graduating in 1984, he worked as a regional consultant for the fraternity’s national office in Richmond, Virginia. It was this job that led him to his family. He met a petite blond woman named Jane. Jane wanted to date Phil but was nervous because her friend liked him as well. When the friend moved away, Jane finally asked if she would mind. “Be my guest,” the friend responded. “All he cares about is Sig Ep.” Though that might have been true at the time, it quickly changed once the two started dating. They eventually married and moved to

He was doing a little bit more Sunday night, but again, he’s missed here about four weeks plus, so it might be awhile to get him back. He’s just had a thing that’s held him out a little bit, and we will see how it goes. Not major but has not been able to practice either.” Wilson also noted that Booth has not had surgery for the injury. Chase Dutra Sophomore free safety Chase Dutra has also not seen the field yet this sea-
Indianapolis where their twins, Caroline and Phillip, were born. “I want to be a good husband, a good father and a Sig Ep volunteer,” Phil said, listing the three things that now matter to him most. “That’s what I do.” * * * Phil stepped away from his day job as an investment manager in January to focus on those three main roles: husband, father, Sig Ep volunteer. Throughout the years, he has exceeded his brotherly duties by anyone’s standards. When the chapter at IU was struggling to get by, he wrote a personal check to save their home from foreclosure. He has also paid utility bills — information that was new, but not surprising, to Jane. Much more important than any financial contributions, Sip Ep brothers said, has been the donation of Phil’s time and friendship. He takes fraternity brothers out to dinner and visits during tailgates. He talks to the young men about girl problems, homework, goals and anything else that might be on their minds. When one brother couldn’t decide on a job, he called Phil. When another needed a place to stay for a son, as he has been slated to start in both depth charts but has been dressed in street clothes in a knee brace for both games. “I think he’s getting close, and again, we’re playing without him and playing well,” Wilson said. “The young guys are doing well and are very talented. He was doing a little running. We thought he had a chance going into this week, but we don’t know yet. Not to say it’s a game time decision but see if he’s available. We don’t know yet.” Freshman safety Jonathan Crawford has been playing in place of Dutra for both games this season, recording 14 tackles and blocking an SIU field goal in week one.
week, Phil offered his home. When a senior student was drinking too much, his friends turned to Phil, who started calling the student every Sunday, just to check in. “Phil’s like a second dad,” said Denton White, a member of Sig Ep who graduated last year. “After my parents, he’s the first person I call when I need advice. You really don’t get why someone that important and successful would put his time and effort and every moment he has free into other people. It’s stunning.” Phil wishes more adult members of the fraternity would share their time and advice with the undergraduate brothers. During his presidency, he created programs to promote adult volunteering within the chapters, firmly believing strong alumni mentors are the key to a successful fraternity. Because of his dedication to this ideal, the Philip A. Cox Volunteer Institute was created in his honor. In August, more than $800,000 in donations were made to the Institute, breaking all previous records for any Sig Ep initiative. “He’s been a guiding light for me so many times,” senior Jonathan Coss said. “It’s unbelievable how he can do that for so many of us.” * * *

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
Park would only increase by 25 percent — a total of 882 vehicles per day. One man in the audience took issue with that number and requested that a video he took Sept. 9 be shown to the commissioners. In his video, traffic in his area stood at a stand still or crept slowly along if it moved at all. Scott Wells, an audience member who said he had personal experience on zoning boards, said he agreed the traffic study did not accurately reflect what will happen when Echo Park is constructed. “When I look at this I think, ‘You can’t be serious,’”
At last year’s Little 500 race, the initials PC were embroidered onto the winning team’s jerseys. When Phil went into surgery to remove the cancer, he wore his lucky shirt the brothers at IU’s chapter had made for him. On school nights, Sig Ep members will make the drive to Indianapolis just to sit and talk with Phil for a couple hours. Stacks of cards sit in his home carrying thoughts and prayers from fraternity brothers around the country. “I wish I wasn’t going through this, but it has made me realize how lucky I am,” Phil said. “Most people don’t have what I have in terms of relationships. I just can’t tell you what it means to me.” Nearly seven months ago, when the cancer really began to take its toll, a brother at the Sig Ep house in Bloomington painted the red and purple sign. It carries a message of perseverance and selflessness to everyone who passes underneath it as they hit it with their hands and hope to live up to the example of the man who inspired it. “I think it means giving 100 percent into whatever you’re doing no matter what you’re dealing with,” Phil’s daughter, Caroline Cox, said. “Just because he’s sick he hasn’t given up on the things that are most important to him.” “I guess a lot of people Wells said. “You got it from who? The petitioner? You think there’s not bias?” Wells argued the study hadn’t taken into account the fact that students may live at Echo Park and make multiple trips on the same road each day. Jennifer Duckworth was the final Sunny Slopes resident to speak. Her house had been used by the petitioner in an image depicting what Echo Park will look like next to Sunny Slopes. In the picture, Echo Park sits on a hill, looking down at the neighborhood during winter. The trees that would normally provide Sunny Slopes residents with privacy are leafless, and the windows of the apartments are visible.

IU alumnus, Phil Cox, reached the end of his term as Sigma Phi Epsilon Grand President in August.
who don’t know Phil take it to mean fight your hardest to beat whatever’s in your way,” Coss said. “For me, it means fight for other people and be selfless. Every time I walk to that front door I think of everything that Phil has done for this organization, for me personally and for everyone he’s met in his entire life.” “The days are long but the years are short,” Sig Ep member, Bill Holland, said. “So every day when you see that sign it might be a long day, but, in the end, all the time we have
is so short and Phil’s time is so precious to us. He represents everything that we aspire to be.” Phil’s two-year term ended in August. In his last official message as Grand President, he wrote to the nation’s Sig Eps about his sickness and how much the outpouring of support has meant to him. “My story will never make the news, he wrote. “But the power of Virtue, Diligence, and (especially) Brotherly Love is worth fighting for. And fight we will.”
“You’ve got a dozen windows looking into my backyard five months out of the year,” Duckworth said. Duckworth also echoed the previous concerns of traffic issues, adding that because the project allotted one parking spot per bedroom, parking overflow would spill into her neighborhood. Despite the outcry against construction of Echo Park, the plan commissioners said their hands were tied. “I feel sorry for the people who will have people looking into their backyard,” commissioner Susan Fernandes said. “There’s not much we can do about that. Hopefully our suggestions are considered, and they make things better for you. I don’t think
we have any choice.” For the commissioners, the vote was about what the property was zoned for and whether or not Echo Park met the criteria making it appropriate for the area. With that announced to the public, the vote was counted 7-1, conditionally approving the plan for Echo Park. The only commissioner to vote against it was Pat Williams. “I’m disappointed that we are not going to be demanding corrections and improvements,” Williams said. “The basic problem really is that there is nothing wrong with this development, but it just doesn’t belong there. I’m going to be the one to vote ‘no.’”

Top Rod Gesner regularly parks his RV on Kirkwood Avenue to practice his ministry and share his wares wooden rods that he makes. He calls his dog, Kiaayo, a “comfort/therapy wonder dog.” Gesner serves as a link between the homeless population on one side of Kirkwood and the college bar scene on the other side. Bottom left Kiaayo sits in the heat in People’s Park at the corner of Kirkwood Avenue and Dunn Street. Rod met Kiaayo, which means “Bear” in Blackfoot, six years ago in Washington state.

Rod Gesner leans against the recreational vehicle he calls home and watches the sun fall behind Kirkwood Avenue. IU students and the city’s homeless population file past as he waits. As the people cross Dunn Street, their paths split. Students head right toward the flashing lights and heavy bass of the city’s most popular bar. The homeless stay to the left, slipping into the darkness of People’s Park. Each side of Kirkwood ignores the other, kept out of mind by a two-lane stretch of asphalt. Rod’s out here for both of them. Tonight he just wants somebody to walk past and notice him. He knows people don’t stop at the run-down Chevy for him. They stop for Kiaayo, 95 pounds of stringy black fur and bright pink tongue. Just past nightfall, a girl in a short white dress walks up to the bench and points at Kiaayo. “Excuse me, can I pet your dog?” she asks. “He’s so cute.” Rod smiles back. “Yeah, he likes the attention.” She calls over a friend, whose blinking “Bride to Be” sash makes Kiaayo blink a few times. The woman holds a cup of water to his mouth, and the dog laps it up, splashing both the women and Rod as he does. Nobody seems to mind.

LOVE DOG OF
Rod Gesner and Kiaayo, the ‘Comfort/Therapy Wonder Dog,’ link the two faces of Kirkwood Avenue “Oh my God, he’s so cute!” one says. They shake the water off their hands and stumble to the next bar. The bride-to-be glances at Rod’s signs as she goes. “HOUSE of the LOVE of DOG,” the big one says. “Sharing the love of a very special dog.” * * * Rod’s RV sits just a few feet from Bloomington’s most stark display of social imbalance. Strobes of light from Kilroy’s on Kirkwood, a popular college bar, dance against the cold stone of People’s Park, a refuge for the local homeless population. Outside the bar, a line stretches around the corner. A girl tugs at a short skirt. Newly minted 21-year-olds hand their IDs to the bouncer, leaning around the door to take an early look inside. A man in a beret plays the accordion and sings love songs in Spanish. A bearded student stumbles out, held up by a friend on each shoulder. In People’s Park, a man sleeps

Only a pair of sneakers stick out from behind the stone. “It’s a separation of classes of the most raw sense,” Rod said, turning his back to the line of students. People’s Park was donated to Bloomington in the mid-1970s, almost a decade after Ku Klux Klan members firebombed the nearby Black Market. Intended as a safe space for all people to congregate, the park has slowly fallen out of public use. Now, students walk the extra few feet to avoid setting foot in the park, and park regulars often don’t feel welcome anywhere else. That leaves Rod to fill the gap. “He’s not really a panhandler, he’s more of a preacher,” Alex Schuette said as he pulled apart slices of cheese. Schuette, an IU senior, works inside
the Big Cheeze food truck. “Some people stay for hours.” As the sun starts to set, Rod stands by the park, shaking hands as people pass. He never lived there permanently but spent a few nights after running away from home. He’s not friendly with everybody, but he makes sure to introduce a few people. “That’s Daniel, over there,” he said, pointing somewhere toward the park. In the darkness, only the burning end of a cigarette shows where Daniel stands. “And here, this is George’s bag.” When Rod sees Daniel, a People’s Park regular, and a group of drunk men start to argue in front of a neighboring bar, he jogs across the street to step in. Holding both hands high, he walks into the skirmish and starts to pull Daniel away. “You’re gonna get arrested,” Rod yells. “Get the fuck out of here. Go!” Daniel scurries away as Rod tries his version of diplomacy. Behind him, lights from the bar fade in and out. * * * Rod has sat on the same corner for five years, a visible link between Bloomington’s rich and poor. Kiaayo — “Bear” in Blackfoot, the language of Rod’s Native American ancestors — is his way into people’s lives. When he moved back to Bloomington in 2010, he’d sit outside with Kiaayo, passing time as he tried to sell his handmade jewelry and glasswork. Almost immediately, people began to SEE ROD, PAGE 11

Indiana first lady Karen Pence kicked off an art exchange last month between Southside Elementary School in Columbus, Indiana, and Miyochigaoka Elementary School in Miiyochi City, Japan, according to a press release. Columbus and Miyoshi City are sister cities.
Pence taught Southside’s fourth grade students to draw “name creatures,” which she will share with the fourth grade students in Japan. She will also ask the Japanese students to create artwork and bring it back to Southside to complete the exchange.
New Peace Choir director pushes for involvement By Kelseigh Ingram keaingra@indiana.edu @KelseighIngram
Music has always mattered to Loida Pineda. “I like the opportunity of making music together and the opportunity to Loida experience Pineda different arrangements of songs, the aspect of working toward the goal of performing, polishing music, playing around, bringing different insights to what we want to convey through our singing and the opportunity to share with an audience,” Pineda said. Pineda is an associate instructor in the Jacobs School of Music and is studying to earn a doctorate in music education. She is also the newly appointed director of the Bloomington Peace Choir. “I was surprised because I didn’t know they were looking for someone,” she said. “I felt honored in just being considered.” Pineda has been involved with choirs since she was 5 years old and sang with the children’s choir in her church. “I believe in choirs because there is something about bringing voices together and making music together that is encouraging and fulfilling,” Pineda said. “It is about sharing and understanding.” The stated goal of the Bloomington Peace Choir is to promote peace in the community. It is a member of the Ubuntu Choirs Network, which requires its members to be inclusive, nonauditioned, community-focused and socially engaged. The network believes singing is an essential human birthright and a potent tool for the community, according to its website. There are no auditions to join, and any skill level is welcomed into the group, though there is a member
fee of $60 per year. The autumn season began Aug. 26, and the Peace Choir meets Wednesday of each week from 7 to 9 p.m. The choir chooses a topic they want to address every semester. For fall 2015, that topic is peace and justice. The topic is chosen by the repertoire committee, which contains people from every voice part. One song the choir is performing this semester is “Singin’ In the Rain.” “It reaches out to a very particular community, the Bell Trace Center,” Pineda said. The Bell Trace Center is a senior citizens’ center and is also where most of the choir members reside, though people who work there are part of the choir as well. Pineda hadn’t been involved with the Peace Choir until she was selected as its director, though she had heard of it two years ago. In her role as director, Pineda said she wants the choir members to be more involved in the choir’s song selection and other processes. “I like to get them involved, I like to not be the person that dictates but just get their feedback and interact with the choir, give them a sense of agency in their choice of repertoire, the opportunity to meet people and understand their feelings, their preferences,” Pineda said. She said it was important to involve members in her decisions because it makes their performance more meaningful. “The director is not the authority in the choir,” she said. “There are lots of things the choir members bring to the table in order to have a meaningful performance. Directors need to involve members more and more in the decisions regarding performance, repertoire, ways to shape the music, the arrangement of the voices, the people that are accepted. We need to make it meaningful to them.”

Hippo Campus tours colleges By Jack Evans jackevan@indiana.edu | @JackHEvans
Jake Luppen is 20, and at an age when many of his peers are navigating college campuses, he’s touring the country and overseas as the frontman of Hippo Campus. The band picked up buzz during the summer — one that gave it tours with indie rock heavyweights, festival dates and accolades from well-known entertainment publications — and now it’s in the midst of a headlining tour taking them through college towns where they’re playing to audiences in the same age group. “It’s always a surprise to see how many people turn out for the shows and know all the words and are super into it,” said Luppen, whose bandmates are ages 19 to 21. “We love the college shows, because it’s just a bunch of young kids throwing down and having a good time.” The tour brings Hippo Campus to Bloomington with a 9 p.m. show today at the Bishop. Its current trek comes in advance of “South,” its second EP, which comes out Oct. 2. “South” comes almost a year after “Bashful Creatures,” a debut EP that found the band working with Alan Sparhawk of indie rock veterans
Low and garnered the Minnesotan quartet comparisons to Vampire Weekend. But Luppen said “South” shows a different side of the band than the one displayed on the bright, dance-friendly “Bashful Creatures.” “‘Bashful’ was definitely more about youthhood,” he said. “It was about embracing that side of your life and accepting it and reflecting on it, because we all were graduating high school in that period of time ... I feel like the ‘South’ EP is more about what adulthood means.” “South” is a change of pace musically, too. Luppen pointed to the EP’s second single, “The Halocline,” a six-minute slow-burn that builds to a cascade of cymbals and distorted guitars, as an example of the record’s “darker,” “more introspective” songwriting. The songs on “South” actually date back to a fulllength record written and recorded, then scrapped, before “Bashful Creatures.” “I really love that we’re starting off with the two EPs, because it gives people a look at both sides of us. So when we go to make a record now it gives us room to kind of play to both those things, which I think will be good,” he said. And while the mem-

bers of Hippo Campus might be just growing into the conventions of adulthood expressed on “South,” they’re already gaining music industry hype after an eventful summer. Hippo Campus has opened shows for Modest Mouse and My Morning Jacket, played Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre with alt-pop stars Walk the Moon — a bucket-list show for Hippo Campus, Luppen said — and played a Lollapalooza set that drew a large crowd and earned praise from Rolling Stone. “There’s been so many crazy things,” Luppen said. “I think Lollapalooza was the craziest and the best. There were 3,000 people there to see us, so that was

A full-length record is the end goal, he said, but the band is taking it dayby-day. For now, he said, the band is fortunate to be in the situation it’s found itself in. “I think we just got lucky in that we’re saying the right thing with our music at the right time,” he said. “People connect with it, and it’s cool.”

I have read that it is not uncommon for women to bleed after sex or even after using a sex toy, but I have been bleeding after using a vibrator externally — nothing enters my body. I’m sure I am contracting the muscles in my cervix when I use it, but would anyone consider that a common cause of uterine bleeding? It’s not a surface bleed because the blood is not on my clothes, but when I use the bathroom and wipe there is a small amount of blood. It’s enough to be seen in the toilet bowl. I can feel discomfort somewhere in my innards. Obviously, I have a
problem and should probably see a gynecologist about it, but since I’m sure I’ll have to wait months for an appointment and it’s going to be super awkward, maybe someone already knows something I don’t. You’re absolutely right that the best course of action is to check in with a gynecologist. And there’s no reason to feel awkward! You’re not doing anything wrong by masturbating, with or without a sex toy. The research is clear — the vast majority of women masturbate and more than half of women have used a vibrator. Most women use a vibrator on their clitoris or other parts of their vulva, as you do. There are many different reasons why a woman might notice blood after sexual activity, whether that sexual activity is masturbation or sex with a partner.
Some women have vaginal cuts or tears, even if they are not having intercourse or other kinds of vaginal penetration. Other women have inflammation of the cervix. Also, when a woman becomes sexually aroused or excited, blood flow increases to the genitals. It may be that this increase in blood flow is contributing to noticeable bleeding that is coming from small cuts or tears in your vagina or from your cervix. The only way to find out what might be happening and why is to ask a healthcare provider. Believe me: Gynecologists and other doctors and nurses have seen and heard it all. Sex toy use is not at all unusual for gynecologists to hear about. In fact, many doctors and nurses recommend vibrator use to their patients to help enhance desire, arousal and orgasm or to reduce
vulvar pain. Just let your healthcare provider know you occasionally notice blood in the toilet usually following masturbation of the vulva — not the vagina — you sometimes experience discomfort inside your body and you’d like to make sure everything is okay. You’re being responsible and careful with your sexual health, and you should feel proud.

Derrick Morgan (bottom right) traveled to Vietnam summer of 2015 in a program called Coach for College. CFC uses American athletes to help promote the importance of academics in the lives of children between the ages of 11 and 14.
Program alters runner’s life By Taylor Lehman trlehman@indiana.edu | @trlehman_IU
Derrick Morgan ran four years of track and field in cream and crimson before earning his bachelor’s degree in sports management. But to the IU graduate it was the red that he wore in Vietnam that made the biggest difference. “Red Bull,” Morgan said. “That’s what our team name was.” Morgan, who graduated from North Central High School in Indianapolis, traveled to Vietnam summer of 2015 in a program named Coach for College. Returning just before school started in mid-August, Morgan spent nearly a month overseas, teaching and coaching children in disadvantaged environments. “It felt good,” Morgan said. “Getting to know these kids and other athletes in such a short amount of time was great.” CFC, established in 2007, focuses on two groups of youth: middle school-aged children in underprivileged environments and collegiate student-athletes. Stationed primarily in Vietnam, CFC uses the popularity of sports to promote the importance of academics in the lives of children between the ages of 11 and 14, using American athletes who have proven excellence in both fields. “We want to keep the kids involved in school,” said Parker Goyer, a Duke University graduate and the executive director and creator of CFC. “Reducing the number of kids who drop out is the main goal.” In Vietnam, nearly one million students graduate from high schools each year, but one exit standardized test determines graduation and entry into college, Goyer said. Only 70 to 80 percent of
graduating students pass the standardized test, leaving 20 to 30 percent of students dropping out of school and not pursuing collegiate degrees. * * * Goyer, who studied psychology as an undergraduate and played Division I tennis for Duke, wanted to make a difference in developing countries. “As student-athletes, we really don’t have that opportunity to get out and make a difference in fields of service,” Goyer said. “With most sports being a year-round focus, studying abroad is out of the question as well.” To combat her busy schedule, Goyer individually researched opportunities to get involved in the community. “I was feeling so twodimensional, between tennis and school,” Goyer said. “I needed to branch out, so I began studying global health and foreign economy and education to do well in my other endeavors. I found it was beneficial for myself, but I wanted to help other student-athletes as well.” After four years of tennis at Duke and a bachelor’s degree in psychology, Goyer founded CFC in fall 2007, after reaching out to her university’s provost, Peter Lange, who granted the program $120,000. Lange then contacted the University of North Carolina, who also donated a grant to the cause. “We had Duke and North Carolina reporters write to provosts around the nation, and universities donating money to the cause, as well as volunteer student-athletes,” Goyer said. “We now have over 30 universities involved through funding and volunteers.” Having visited Vietnam 17 times, Goyer worked on the ground for CFC through 2009,
before the program gathered additional staff members to hold spots overseas and assist in the process of preparing for each summer. In addition to the challenges of fundraising and gathering an adequate number of volunteers, the CFC also needs to provide the correct equipment to teach and coach the Vietnamese students for three weeks. “There was one occasion where we ordered shoes from Nike for the kids,” Goyer said. “Well, they shipped them here to the U.S., so we had to ship them back to Vietnam. Then the kids treated them more like trophies than shoes because they’re usually barefoot.” Though the Vietnamese coaches who work with the American student-athletes can speak English, the children can’t, so it is the CFC’s responsibility to translate their textbooks and confirm that the material is within the curriculum of Vietnam’s education system. Vietnam remains the only country where the CFC is stationed, but Goyer said the program hopes to expand, targeting the Philippines and Cambodia next. Now a graduate of Oxford University and Harvard University, Goyer possesses a doctorate in psychology. “In college, they always tell you to apply your knowledge,” Goyer said. “This is the way that I can make a difference in the world.” * * * Morgan landed in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, picked up a bus at the city airport and rode to the camp where he would spend three weeks with 100 Vietnamese children. “It was weird because when I first arrived, everyone was breaking their necks staring at me because they’d never seen a black person before,”
Morgan said. “It was a little annoying at first because everyone wanted a picture taken with me, but I got used to it.” Morgan noticed that many of the kids didn’t have shoes but were running on the rocky grounds where their soccer fields and basketball courts were located at the camp. So he decided to try it. “I couldn’t keep up with them,” Morgan said. “Just being in that environment and being around those kids really taught me not to take things for granted, like my shoes, or my car or Qdoba.” Of the 100 Vietnamese children in Morgan’s camp, the IU graduate worked with 15 on his Red Bull team, coaching them through sports and teaching them in the classroom. “They could have short conversations in English by the end of the three weeks,” Morgan said. “I can even have some small talk in Vietnamese now.” After working with the children in Vietnam for three weeks, Morgan traveled to the cities of Tokyo and Hong Kong for two weeks to relax before coming back home, he said. Morgan is pursuing a degree in sports law at the McKinney School of Law in Indianapolis in hopes of becoming an athletic director. “This was the last thing I’ll do as an athlete,” Morgan said. “I have friends here who run professionally, and they encourage me to start running again, but I think I’m going to hang up the cleats for good.” In the end, Morgan said the kids taught him more than he taught them and that the program changed his life. “It really changed my life forever,” Morgan said. “Seeing the kids cry when we left and knowing the impact I had on their lives and could have on others’ lives, then realizing, later, the impact that they had on my life. I plan on visiting again. I’d definitely go back.”
Sarah Stone is more than just a goalkeeper. The redshirt senior is a key component of IU’s defense, and is a “beast,” according to senior midfielder Jessie Bujouves. Through eight games against the Hoosiers’ nonconference opponents, Stone has posted 1.06 Goals Against Average (GAA). The Evansville native has been credited with four shutouts in those eight games, making history along the way in the second-longest scoreless streak in program history. On Sunday night, the Hoosiers returned home to face an in-state rival that had not played for a week. IU, meanwhile, was tasked with rebounding from a 2-0 defeat Friday to No. 13 Notre Dame. In what IU Coach Amy Berbary called “the worst half of soccer that we played all year,” Stone was right there to keep her team in the game against Ball State. The Cardinals, at times, were relentless on attack against the IU defense. But with a strong backline of defenders redshirt junior Marissa Borschke, senior Emily Basten, sophomore Annelie Leitner and true freshman Caroline Dreher, the entire IU defense was able to survive Ball State’s attacks. “They’re always covering and working for each other,” Stone said. “It’s really nice to see how much they care about each other and the fight that they give.” That fight was captured in a specific moment Sunday evening at Bill Armstrong Stadium. Ball State goalscorer Chelsy Swackhamer created an acrobatic play with a bicycle kick that just nearly went off the crossbar. The rebound fell right to the feet of a Cardinal attacker, a mere six yards from the goal line. Stone was able to display her talent by getting in front of the strike before the Hoosier defense cleared it away. “She’s just incredible,”
“I don’t get to hold the ball very much, so when I do, I have to make a save.” Amy Berbary, IU Coach
Bujouves said. “I’m just thinking, ‘Thank you, thank you so much.’ She has come up so big for us over and over again. She’s probably going to do that the rest of the season, so obviously she’s a huge part of our team.” While Stone is well on her way to surpassing last season’s shutout total of five, this season is not the first time Berbary’s team has been able to rely on its last line of defense. A year ago, Stone was able to post a 1.32 GAA in over 1,600 minutes of play. Stone’s lights-out play has become a frequent occurrence for the Hoosiers, but the senior isn’t shying away from the pressure. “I think they appreciate it when I do make big saves,” Stone said. “They also somewhat expect it. I don’t get to hold the ball very much, so when I do, I have to make a save. I try to stay as composed as possible, those are the moments that I look forward to. That’s why I play this position, I like that pressure.” The Hoosiers have only played eight games, but it has already been quite the eventful season. IU has faced numerous national championship contenders, suffered multiple seasonending injuries and endured five straight games away from Bloomington. Throughout all that, throughout all the offensive struggles and setbacks, Stone has been a voice of experience among a young Big Ten team. “I just hope she can continue to help us, because we’re going to need her all year,” Berbary said. “She’s phenomenal back there. When the going gets tough she doesn’t speak a lot, but when she does, people listen.”
CROSS COUNTRY
IU junior returns after ongoing injury By Andrew Hussey aphussey@indiana.edu @thehussnetwork
After a grueling crosscountry practice, Carl Smith isn’t walking with a limp. That comes as a surprise after the redshirt junior struggled to overcome a chronic injury throughout the 2014 season. Smith had Haglund’s deformity, a bone spur in the Achilles tendon. “Basically, it was tearing my tendon whenever I ran,” Smith said. Smith said the level of pain was “decent” and comparable to tendinitis. “We thought it was just tendinitis since my freshmen year, and I ran through it half my sophomore year but had to stop and miss basically my entire junior season,” Smith said. Smith redshirted his
freshman year and had success during his redshirt freshman season, earning All-Big Ten honors and helping the team win the Big Ten Championship for the first time since 1980. Things unraveled quickly, and he opted for surgery to improve his condition. “What he went through was extremely difficult,” IU Coach Ron Helmer said. “I admire what he was able to do, especially with the lengthy process of recovering from that type of debilitating surgery.” The road from surgery to where Smith is now was long, but Smith said he never gave up. “I told myself I wasn’t giving up, because once you have checked out and say it’s over, you have lost everything,” Smith said. He said there were times
he thought he wasn’t going to make it back, but those were never lasting thoughts. “I was driven to get back not just for me but for coach and my teammates,” Smith said. Smith’s positive attitude drove him through the many hours of training that it took to get back to full health. “I did a lot of cross training — getting in the pool, jogging around and riding on a bike,” Smith said. “I was doing things that weren’t weightbearing so I didn’t get any tearing or re-injuring.” Helmer said Smith always remained patient and appreciated every improvement he made while recovering, no matter how small. While Smith was on the sidelines, Helmer said he was still an asset to the team. “Carl tends to have a nononsense approach to life,
and if we needed a rational insight on something, he had that for us,” Helmer said. Smith downplayed his role as a leader and said he sometimes helped talk young runners through struggles. A monumental step forward for Smith was the Indiana Open, IU’s first meet of the year. In his return to competitive racing, he finished tenth with a time of 26:50.73 in the 8000 meters. “It was a great feeling to finally be out there and be able to compete and run with my teammates,” Smith said. Helmer said Smith has looked healthy with no limp, but he still needs to get his muscular strength and fitness back. “He is taking risks and doing things he’s not ready to do,” Helmer said. “And that’s how you grow. Taking chances is his new mantra.”

stop and ask to pet the dog. Students talked about their dog back home. People explained how they ended up on the street. When people stop for Kiaayo, Rod does his best to stay out of the way. He lets them come to him. Usually, it’s just a few minutes with the dog before they move on, but a few people each night stop and talk. Once Kiaayo draws them in, Rod takes over. Female students often get lessons in self-defense, taught with his handmade wooden sticks. He’s helped people through drug addictions and abuse. At least two people call him Dad. None of that happens without Kiaayo. “What he does out here is a ministry,” Rod says, rubbing Kiaayo’s head as he talks. “I try to help in my own way, but what he does one-on-one is helping people that miss their families, miss their dogs, had a bad day.” This morning, like every morning, Rod woke up by an office garage on the east side of Bloomington. He said good morning to Kiaayo, grabbed a mug and walked to the Circle K gas station for coffee. The garage’s owner won’t let him stay past the morning, so Rod put Kiaayo back into his Chevrolet RV and drove west, toward the IU campus. He parked his home just off the intersection, leaving space for the grilled cheese truck next to him. He tied Kiaayo’s leash around the foot of a green bench, rolled out a leather office chair and put a plastic cup on the sidewalk. A single dollar hung over the edge. He pulled a bundle of bamboo staffs from the RV, arranged his signs and waited. Most nights, visitors drop some change in Rod’s cup. Donations are his main source of income, save for a few odd jobs here and there. Almost everybody gets an invitation back and a copy of his 35-line mission statement. “To Share Kiaayo’s (Bear’s)
Top Rod used to sell his craftwork until, he says, the city came after him with permit requirements and peddling laws. Bottom In a very common scene, Kiaayo offers his love and affection to Tyler Greathouse, a 31-yearold local. Rod says that Kiaayo helps people that had a bad day, or miss their families or dogs.
Love and Healing with as many People as Possible,” it reads. “And To Provide Comfort and Assistance as Best I Can; Without Becoming an Enabler.” It’s barely after 10 p.m., and he’s already run out of copies. * * * Rod talks with his eyes, a wild pair of eyebrows dancing in rhythm with his words. A thick white beard hides most of his face, and a widebrimmed hat droops around his hairline. A rope burn on the back of his leg is probably infected — he insists it’s fine.

Mold has grown on his glasses, where the lenses meet his nose. He’s quick to share his own history. The phrase, “Well, that’s a long story, so I won’t go into that,” dots his conversations. He hasn’t stayed in one place long enough to put down serious roots. In the ninth grade, his family moved from Indianapolis to Bloomington. By 15, he had dropped out of high school, run away from home and started hitchhiking around the country. A hundred thousand miles, a string of failed relationships and dozens of craftsman jobs later, he fell in love

with Maya. Rod and Maya spent 10 years together before a slew of health problems caught up with her. She died in a local hospital as Rod pleaded with the doctors to do something. He still blames them for her death. “They couldn’t see what I could see with my own eyes was broken,” he said, tears leaking out of the corners of his eyes. That was 2009. He moved back to Bloomington soon after — “another long story,” he says — and his trust in people started to fail him. He says the government came

after his business, hitting him with permit requirements and peddling laws. I t eventually became too much for Rod to navigate, so he stopped selling. Rod and Kiaayo met six years ago in Kitsap County, Washington. Rod was a tree trimmer who’d made his way to the West Coast. Kiaayo was just a bundle of black fur. The name came easily. “He looked like a little bear cub,” Rod remembers. Kiaayo is his official name. Rod’s signs call him the “Comfort/Therapy Wonder Dog.” * * *

For now, this is all Rod wants to do, he said. He’s picked up a few landscaping jobs, but can’t see himself promising somebody he’ll show up and work 40 hours a week. He tries to make it to the street corner six nights a week — he always takes Sunday off. Most weeks he succeeds, but sometimes he can’t force himself to do it. His feet are constantly sore. He’s got a knee he needs to get fixed. He didn’t know he was born with spina bifida until he was 30 years old, and it keeps his lower back tight at all times. Scars line his hands and knees. Ask if he’s happy, and he looks away immediately. He sighs, and suddenly he has to adjust Kiaayo’s collar. “I still cry sometimes, missing her,” he said. “It doesn’t go away easily.” Sometimes, 10 years of Maya hit him in an instant, and he can’t stop himself. He stays in with Kiaayo on those nights. Kiaayo is 6 years old now. Rod’s chosen not to have him neutered, just in case he wants to have puppies someday — somebody has to carry on the ministry when Kiaayo’s gone. “I will probably say, ‘Oh, I can’t stand the pain of having another dog,’ until some friend gives me a dog or I stumble across a foster who looks like him,” Rod said. Rod has just started to renovate his home, turning it into a “Temple of Art and the Beauty of All Creation.” Over the next few months, he’ll fill the Chevy with his glasswork, arrange his jewelry and set aside a space for private conversation. He plans to leave the windows open so people can see what he’s created inside. As they walk around the RV and see his collections of beauty, they’ll come across a mirror, with a sign next to it: Turn around! YOU are the beauty of all creation. But look behind you, because the beauty of creation is all around us. He’s already picked out the sign.
