Shelters for the unhoused in Bloomington are filling up quickly as the cold weather ensues, limiting the number of beds available in some facilities. Shelter employees are expressing concern about the risks unhoused people face when forced to sleep outside.

Friend’s Place is an overnight shelter managed by Beacon Inc., a nonprofit organization based out of Bloomington offering housing, meal and outreach services for people in poverty. Thomas Kennedy, a shelter monitor at Friend’s Place, said the shelter is limited to 40 beds — 24 for men and 16 for women — most of which are filled each night.

According to Beacon's website, Friend’s Place is the only year-round, non-religious emergency shelter in the region. Kennedy said the shelter is forced to deny access to some unhoused people when the beds fill up during the winter. While he isn’t sure exactly how many people Friend’s Place has turned away, he said it hap-

"We don’t have enough beds for the population that’s outside right now.”

pens every night.

“We need more capacity,” he said.

Kennedy said he suspects that a lack of funding is partially to blame for why the shelter lacks capacity. One way to alleviate the problem, he said, could be to open another larger shelter, which would then have to be staffed and funded.

More options for permanent housing would also help on a more expansive scale, Kennedy said. There is plenty of available housing in the community, but not everyone can access it, he said. According to the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Final Fair Market Rents Documentation System, the average fair market rent price for a one-bedroom unit in Monroe County in fiscal year 2022 is $803. According to the National Low Income Housing Coalition's 2021 "Out of Reach" report, average fair market rent for a one bedroom unit in Indiana is $698.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development offers a Housing Choice Voucher Program, a form of rent cost assistance often referred to as “Section 8,” to eligible individuals struggling to pay for housing.

But Indiana property owners are not required to accept these vouchers so many deny renting to those who use it, Kennedy said. This creates financial barriers to securing a place to live.

Beacon Executive Director Rev. Forrest Gilmore said bed availability is always uncertain. The winter season exacerbates the issue, he said, because more people seek shelter from the weather. This means shelters with space available throughout the rest of the year may still struggle to hold as many people in the winter months.

Beacon annually counts the number of people living unhoused in Monroe County, a process Gilmore called the "PIT (Point in Time) Count." The last PIT Count in 2021 found there were 335 people experiencing homelessness. He said this is a typical number for any given year.

While less significant than last year, Gilmore said he has seen people sleeping on the streets in the cold this winter. Aside from the difficulty to shelter every person experiencing homelessness, some people choose not to seek shelter for various reasons. Gilmore said he isn't sure there would be enough space if everyone did choose to shelter.

"When you don't expand in beds during the winter, you have the same beds year-round, and so those fill and then you don't have extra," he said. "If people are seeking beds we want to make sure they can access them and get them through Wheeler."

From January 2021 to May 2021, Beacon operated a temporary win-

ter shelter to provide refuge from the cold in response to the high number of people forced to sleep outside. However, the organization did not open that shelter again this winter. Gilmore said finding an available space proved difficult because of residential, occupancy and fire codes, some of which were waived temporarily in 2021. The site of the 2021 shelter was not available again this winter.

While Gilmore said money is a factor in creating more shelters, it also involves building, passing codes and staffing. Many shelters are struggling to hire, he said. Friend's Place has been searching to fill an open position for over a month.

When thinking about homelessness, Gilmore said, people often exclusively view shelters as the immediate response. However, he said expanding shelters does not ultimately solve the core problem of housing affordability.

"The reason we have so many people in shelter and the reason we struggle with beds and having enough is because of housing," he said.

Rising COVID-19 numbers worry rehousing centers

Local nonprofits dedicated to aiding the unhoused community and those in extreme poverty hope to share their resources and willingness to serve the community despite the increase in COVID-19 cases in Bloomington.

Beacon Inc. is one such nonprofit able to provide housing and other essential services such as meal and laundry service and access to caseworkers.

Since the pandemic started, Beacon Executive Director Rev. Forrest Gilmore said his staff has been adapting protocols and encouraging clients at the Shalom Center and Friend’s Place to get vaccinated and get the booster shot.

With less funding related to COVID-19 than last year, Gilmore said personnel cutbacks created other problems in enforcing safety measures such as temperature checks at the door.

“We saw a really large outbreak a year ago,” Gilmore said. “We had an alternative shelter for people to iso-

late in and/or quarantine in, but we don’t have that this year.”

He said the shelter is fortunate to report it hasn’t lost a single person experiencing homelessness to COVID-19 since the pandemic began.

Gilmore said the winter also poses greater challenges and threats to those sleeping outside, especially in colder and wetter conditions.

“Our programming doesn’t necessarily change with the weather,” Gilmore said. “We always want people to be in homes and recognize there’s a greater urgency and try and get people the things that they need to be safe.”

Wheeler Mission is another social services organization providing low-barrier sheltering and other essential goods and services to the unhoused, poor and at-risk members of the community, Director of Wheeler Mission Dana Jones said.

“As the CDC has alluded to, this is something we’re going to have to learn to live with in the future,” Jones said.

Jones said before the pandemic, the men’s facility was almost at full

capacity regularly. Wheeler Mission could host a total of 130 men, but since the pandemic, Wheeler Mission is only able to host 117. He said the staff follows the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention protocols and reduced maximum capacity. In the women’s shelter, Wheeler Mission used to provide 40 beds, but now only allow up to 35 women.

“We’ve done a lot to try and provide for and comfort during the pandemic for the population we serve,” Jones said.

Jones said his staff is monitoring people as best as they can and isolating in-shelter when needed.

New Hope for Families is an agency that supports and empowers families impacted by homelessness.

“Homelessness looks different for different families,” Executive Director of New Hope for Families Emily Pike said. “Families oftentimes are afraid to seek out help because it is an act of abuse or an act of neglect to be homeless with your children.”

Pike said she and her staff work their hardest to prevent families from sleeping outside. New Hope has two

buildings: one with four bedrooms and the other with three bedrooms.

She said for families with critical needs, the staff finds motels and provides services to them for the night.

Pike said since the pandemic, New Hope made sure families could isolate in the shelter houses. New Hope also strongly encourages clients to get vaccinated and boosted.

She said IU Health will conduct a booster clinic for those who want it next week.

Pike said she appreciates the Monroe County Health Department and local clinics’ help in ensuring resources are available to the whole community rather than only those with financial stability.

“An agency like New Hope couldn’t exist just anywhere. There’s a reason that so many family shelters have a work requirement and a marriage requirement and a faith requirement,” Pike said. “It’s because that reflects the values of those communities, and I’m really proud that the values of our community say everyone deserves a safe place to sleep.”

Shelters in Bloomington will offer a variety of services during the winter for people experiencing homelessness or living in dangerous situations.

Bloomington’s Community and Family Resources Department is working with local nonprofit organizations to address issues affecting members of Bloomington’s unhoused community.

Members of the unhoused community are more vulnerable during colder weather, according to the Chicago Tribune. Individuals without adequate shelter can develop frostbite or pneumonia, along with a host of other challenges both physical and mental in nature.

The City of Bloomington supports local organizations through grant programs while facilitating communication between different agencies.

“The City of Bloomington does not provide direct services, rather we financially and administratively support experts in the community who understand the needs of this population,” Beverly Calender-Anderson, director of the Community and Family Resources Department, said in an email.

Beacon Inc. Beacon offers a variety of shelters, Executive Director Rev. Forrest Gilmore said. This includes the Shalom Community Center, Beacon’s year-round day center. Shalom is designed to be low barrier and all inclusive, Gilmore said.

The center includes showers, meals, laundry, storage, case management, mail services and more.

The organization also offers a year-round overnight shelter called A Friend’s Place. Gilmore said it is a sober shelter, and Monroe County residents are given priority. The shelter is LGBTQ+ friendly, he said. Overnight

residents are not required to disclose a gender identity and can choose which sleeping area of the shelter they stay in.

According to the Beacon website, the shelter opens daily at 5:15 p.m.

Gilmore said Beacon’s Rapid Rehousing program helps working families experiencing homelessness. The Crawford Homes program, another Beacon service, offers help to individuals with disabilities who are experiencing long-term homelessness.

gency shelter to self-defined families, Executive Director Emily Pike said.

However, the 24-hour shelter requires that every person who enters has a child in their care. Pike said there is room for up to seven families at a time.

Although there is limited room, Pike said it is their mission to never let any child sleep in a car or outside. New Hope for Families will sometimes cooperate with local hotels to accomplish this goal.

The shelter offers services to individuals from Greene, Monroe and Owen counties, Pike said.

The shelter is only available to families who are experiencing homelessness. If a family has a safe place to sleep for a night, it is best for them to stay there, Pike said. New Hope for Families also offers case management help to all families, regardless of housing status.

Wheeler Mission-Bloomington Wheeler Mission operates low-barrier women’s and men’s shelter locations year round for individuals in Bloomington experiencing homelessness, Director of Advancement Chris-Michael Morrison said in an email to the IDS. The women’s shelter is located on 400 S. Opportunity Lane, and the men’s shelter is on 215 S. Westplex Ave. Until March 31, Wheeler Mission will create overflow spaces to provide for the increased need for homeless shelters in the cold weather, according to their Winter Contingency Program.

During the winter months, the average

number of guests increases from 500600 guests per night to 800-900 guests per night.

Middle Way House Middle Way House’s mission is to provide emergency shelter to individuals who are living under threat of domestic violence or abuse. These services are offered year round, Executive Director Debra Morrow said. Services are available for people of any gender, she said. Middle Way House offers services to adults who are alone and also adults with children.

The shelter does not require sobriety but does not allow individuals to bring substances in, Morrow said.

Middle Way House serves Greene, Lawrence, Owen, Martin, Monroe and Morgan counties. There are also outreach offices available in Owen, Greene and Martin counties.

According to the Middle Way House website, survivors can receive more information about emergency housing by using the organization’s crisis line, 812336-0846.

Stride The City of Bloomington also supports Stride, Calender-Anderson said.

Stride provides support for individuals struggling with substance abuse or mental health crises, according to its website, and provides them with resources that can lead to long-term solutions. The Stride Center allows guests to stay for up to 23 hours.

IUSG to nominate justices to Supreme Court

By Salome Cloteaux scclotea@iu.edu

A committee in IU Student Government started considering applicants for the IUSG Supreme Court after the legislative session began Jan. 10.

The committee will give IUSG President Ky Freeman a list of recommended candidates for him to nominate.

Andrew Barnicle, associate justice and clerk of the court of the IU Supreme Court, said after Freeman reviews the recommended applicants, the nominees selected by the

president are interviewed by the Oversight and Reform Congressional Committee, and then the entire Congress votes to confirm or reject the nominees.

Barnicle said only four out of 11 seats are currently filled on the court, so seven seats need to be filled.

The main role of the Supreme Court is working with the Office of Student Conduct to hear student misconduct cases, Chief Justice of the IUSG Supreme Court Brennan Murphy said. This semester he said he hopes the court will

also have a more active advisory role with the rest of the student government.

“I really want us to have a greater presence in student government and to make our presence a little bit more known and useful to the student body,” Murphy said.

“How effectively we’ll be able to reach those goals is going to really depend on how soon we can get some new justices in, so I’m really hopeful that that process goes smoothly and quickly.”

Patrick Lee, chair of the oversight and reform com-

mittee for the IUSG congress, expects the new justices to be confirmed to the court by late February or early March, in time for the Court to hear appeals during the 2022 IUSG Executive elections.

“It’s a big goal for everybody in student government to have a full court or at least as close as we can get to a full court before the presidential election,” Lee said. “It’s at the top of the top of our list.”

Lee said recently interest in student government has ta-

Does education matter or is this just politics?

By Sara Molina molinas@iu.edu | @saramolina42

“Marxism, Nazism, fascism… I believe we’ve gone too far when we take a position. We need to be impartial,” Republican Sen. Scott Baldwin, who co-wrote Indiana Senate Bill 167 said Jan. 5.

Also known as the “Education Matters” bill, SB 167 was introduced in response to debates over teaching critical race theory in schools. It was killed on Jan. 14 by the Indiana Senate. Had it been passed it would have given parents control over what history their kids learn and how they learn about it.

The bill proposed schools would have to post curriculum online, hold meetings for community members to decide school curriculum and give parents the option to opt-in or out of certain educational lessons they may feel

uncomfortable with their kids learning.

Attending Indiana schools her whole life, IU senior Evelyn Sanchez said while history taught in the school system needs changing, this bill would’ve taken Indiana a step backward. She said it would harm communities of color.

“I definitely do think it needs to be changed, but this is completely the opposite action,” Sanchez said. “It continues the white supremacy rhetoric when it comes to learning about history.”

If Indiana teachers took Baldwin’s suggestion and started implementing impartiality while teaching lessons like slavery and the Holocaust, it would deny kids the opportunity to learn from important historical events.

By not acknowledging these parts of history, kids would never learn, thus allowing history to repeat itself.

The bill sparked controversy across the state, also prohibiting schools from directing students and employees to follow certain principles regarding characteristics such as sex, race and religion.

Sanchez said a lack of comprehensive teaching would hurt students.

“I didn’t have access to my own identity’s history until I got to college and that’s something I know I would have loved to see growing up,” Sanchez said. “This is definitely something mentally that can harm students and teachers. It is completely going backward and hiding communities of colors’ histories.”

History is taught so that we learn from it and do not repeat it. Sanchez said we cannot pick and choose what we disregard from historical studying.

“It is important because

that is history and that is a form of violence,” Sanchez said. “That’s like saying these issues don’t exist, which they do, so the fact that parents have an option to opt-out can harm not just the students but also teachers.”

This bill would also change the teaching process for underpaid and overworked educators.

“Teachers don’t have the time to be making an extra lesson plan, they already don’t get paid enough to do the current lesson plans that they have,” Sanchez said. “I feel like this only benefits, at the end of the day, the white republicans.”

While it is a victory the legislation stopped SB 167 from moving further, there is still a fight to be had. There is a similar version in the Indiana House of Representatives called HB 1134, which essentially limits teaching

America’s history of racism if it were to pass.

This bill is just as dangerous and threatening as SB 167 to students who come from communities of color. Sanchez said the fight is not over.

“Although SB 167 isn’t passing, that doesn’t mean there won’t be other similar bills,” Sanchez said. “I hope SB 167 motivates people to continue to learn about legislation and show their disap-

proval for harmful bills such as this.”

Teaching important events related to racial history may make some people uncomfortable. However, it is nothing in comparison to the discomfort felt by many people of color all over the United States today. If we do not have a comprehensive education, history will continue to repeat itself as the white supremacist rhetoric manifests in schools.

Maya Angelou becomes the first Black woman to be featured on the quarter

By Amani Gates amagates@iu.edu | @amani_gates

A new quarter featuring Maya Angelou, writer, poet, social activist and teacher, could be in the public’s hands

by Sunday. Angelou is the first Black woman to be featured on the quarter.

Over her 50-year career, she published more than 30 bestselling books which include fiction, non-fiction and poetry.

She also starred in plays, movies, and television shows. Her

autobiography was published in 1969 and recounts her traumatic childhood.

Angelou has over 50 honorary degrees. She’s also recited her work at many events, becoming the first African American and woman to read a poem at President Bill Clinton’s first inauguration in 1993.

The Maya Angelou quarter is the first coin to be released in the American Woman Quarters Program. This four-year program commemorates women in history who have contrib-

uted to the development of the United States. Beginning in 2022 and continuing through 2025, the U.S. Mint will release five quarters each year.

When choosing leaders for the program, Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, Sen. Deb Fischer, and California Rep. Barbara Lee wanted a series of American women who will inspire future generations.

The women featured in the program come from various backgrounds, but all have contributed to the science,

civil rights, government, arts or suffrage movements. Dr. Sally Ride and Nina-Otero-Warren are two of the five women who will be featured on the new quarters this year.

Dr. Sally Ride became the first American woman in space in 1983. She co-founded Sally Ride Science, a nonprofit built to inspire young people who are interested in a career in STEM and promote STEM literacy. Nina Otero Warren was the first female superintendent of the Santa Fe public school

system and was a leader in New Mexico’s suffrage movement.

She strived to improve education for children in New Mexico and worked to advance bicultural education in the school systems.

Representation is such an important thing in the world today, and these coins will bring more attention to these prominent figures.

The new coin will still have George Washington on the head side. The other side will display Angelou’s autobiogra-

phy “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings,” one of her most famous pieces. On the quarter, Angelou is shown with a bird in flight and a rising sun, both images reflecting her poetry.

“Maya Angelou’s writing and activism inspired countless Americans and her legacy helped fuel greater fairness and understanding across our nation,” said Nevada Senator Masto in a press release.

So, the next time you need to go to the bank, be on the lookout for Maya Angelou.

CLEAR CUT

It’s hard being an American leftist

When it comes to the pandemic, none of us know what we’re doing

Jared Quigg (he/him) is a sophomore studying journalism and political science.

Last November, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy delivered a very long, rambling speech in an attempt to stall a vote on the Build Back Better Act. He claimed, “Nobody elected Joe Biden to be FDR,” referring to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, a man most notable for his welfare-expanding New Deal. He was so popular that he was elected four times.

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez then interrupted McCarthy’s speech to say, “I did!”

And I did, too.

But here we are, nearly one year after young people like me helped elect Biden, and we have frustratingly little to show for it.

Biden has yet to cancel student loan debt on any large scale, despite Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer — along with many others — claiming he could do it with the flick of a pen. Build Back Better, which had provisions

such as Medicare expansions and universal pre-school, is basically dead, killed by conservatives in both parties.

All of this to say: it’s hard being a leftist in America.

There is no legitimate political party that represents us.

The mainstream media constantly either refuses to publish our views or blames us for the government’s failures.

Our political goals always feel out of reach.

We leftists feel chronic anger at the state of the U.S. every single day. Without fail. One day it’s Nancy Pelosi excusing what essentially amounts to Congressional insider trading by saying, “We’re a free market economy.” The next it’s a drone strike killing innocent people in Afghanistan.

If you’re not a leftist, just step into our shoes for a moment. Imagine you’re anti-capitalist, anti-fascist, anti-imperialist, pro-democracy and all around in favor of egalitarian politics. Can anyone say they wouldn’t be depressed by the actions of the supposed left-wing party of the United States?

Remember when Donald

Trump called Kamala Harris a communist? If only!

It’s hard not to laugh (and cry) at such nonsense. But if you’re an American leftist, not everything is hopeless.

Firstly, our ideas are popular. A majority of Americans say the government has the responsibility to provide healthcare for all, according to Pew Research. Other proposals, such as free college and government funding for child care, are also extremely popular with the public.

Another thing leftists should be excited about is a renewed American labor movement. Last year saw strikes across the country at companies such as John Deere and Kellogg’s. Workers quit their jobs at record rates.

The pandemic, for all its terrible consequences, is perhaps providing one good: class consciousness in American workers. Calling workers “essential” and then paying them starvation wages? The contradictions of capitalism are on full display.

None of this is socialism, of course, but this is how a movement gets off the ground. As leftists, we must

continue to agitate and organize. We should still — for the time being — vote for Democrats, but we must drive the party further to the left.

One of our goals should be to make the Democratic Party as radical as Republicans claim.

There will always be setbacks and days when you just want to scream, like when Sen. John Kennedy invoked Red Scare-era paranoia during Saule Omarova’s hearing for her nomination to head the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

“I don’t know whether to call you professor or comrade,” Kennedy said, referring to Omarova’s background as an immigrant from the Soviet Union. It was infuriating to see her later withdraw her nomination due to scrutiny over her background.

But I must admit, I take a certain satisfaction in the continued fear of socialism from conservatives. My fellow leftists, when times are hard we must take some pleasure in knowing the spectre is still haunting America — it just refuses to go away. jaquigg@iu.edu

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Joe Biden speaks at the Solar Power International conference on Sept. 16, 2015 in Anaheim, California.

Chris Sciortino (he/him) is a junior studying theater and public relations.

With a plethora of views on what to do and not to do, it’s time to admit that few know exactly what we’re doing in response to COVID-19 — and nobody truly knows how this will play out.

“Welcome to the spring 2022 semester,” an email to all IU students from President Pamela Whitten stated. “I hope you’re feeling recharged after the winter break, ready to take on new challenges and get involved in the exciting activities and events on Indiana University campuses.”

While my excitement was growing in anticipation of returning to a school teeming with friends, full classes and engaging extracurriculars, part of me remained worried.

With many of my friends’ universities choosing to begin their semesters online, I wondered about the precautions IU was taking to prevent widespread student illness and how their approach would be effective.

Upon returning to my hometown suburb of Chicago for winter break, I was shocked to find that my family was living in a different COVID-19 reality than I had in Bloomington. It was clear the Omicron variant was running rampant through the local schools and social circles, with daily case averages in my county tripling from 1,309 on Nov. 29 to 6,134 on Dec. 23.

I went from a life of seeing friends and attending classes to hunkering down with my four-person family, hoping to see an eventual decrease in case numbers.

But cases didn’t subside.

Recorded daily cases have increased sixfold nationwide, with new cases at 208,295 on Jan. 10, 2021 and at 1,433,977 on Jan. 10, 2022. This is the result of little action focused on driving infection rates down, as the U.S. government’s pandemic response seems to shift

from prevention of illness to mitigation of COVID-19’s impacts on society.

When the pandemic began, our collective uncertainty was “what can we do?”

At that point, the simple answer was to stay home. In my view, due to clear messaging, we responded appropriately to pleas about stopping the spread and flattening the curve. Because of collective action, cases trended downward in February 2021. When paired with the efficacy of vaccines, we saw case numbers plummet to the lowest since the start of the pandemic in June 2021. Clear messaging garnered clear results.

But once again, cases are skyrocketing, and there’s no clear path forward. My instinct is to protect our most vulnerable from COVID-19 by imposing similar lockdowns we saw in March 2020. Others believe with the protection of our vaccines, supposed diminished severity of the Omicron variant and emerging COVID-19 therapies and treatments, we should allow cases to fall naturally.

I am not sure which side I agree with most. As a natural alarmist, I tend to favor extreme caution and widespread prevention. But as a college kid who missed much of my young adult experience due to online classes, I understand the desire to return as closely to normal as possible.

There’s one thing I do know: while many are making the decision they hope will bring the best outcome, nobody knows what’s in store for us. The best thing we can do is listen to our healthcare professionals. If anyone knows the proper way out of this, it’s them. But we should always continue to make decisions that keep our loved ones as safe as possible.

We all want this to end.

And even if we’re clueless, listening and caring for each other will never fail. csciorti@iu.edu

“Student government has been known recently for a lot of infighting and arguing and disputes and a very toxic culture,” Lee said. “We’ve been spending a lot of time last semester looking into that as an organization and why we have engagement levels low and why there’s a lot of general feelings that the student

government can’t do much as a whole.”

During the fall legislative session, Congress spent time working on the congressional bylaws and an amendment dealing with the legitimacy of Congress and adding multicultural seats, Lee said.

“Going forward this semester, we’re looking to return to what Congress should in essence really be focused on, which is advocacy,” Lee said.

He said Congress will focus on pushing more sustainability and mental health initiatives on campus and will address the issue of sexual

assault.

“Students can expect to see actual meaningful change being implemented on issues that are affecting them every day and a student government that’s working to support them,” Lee said. “Hopefully, they feel encouraged and welcomed to get involved. They can expect more advocacy efforts by Congress on behalf of the students.”

He said he expects Congress to work on big organizational changes, including potentially the introduction of the new constitution.

During the fall, a Consti-

tutional Commission drafted a new constitution to restructure Congress, change the apportionment of congressional seats and increase involvement of students across campus, Lee said. This semester, IUSG will review the proposed Constitution.

“We made some important changes to hopefully boost student involvement and create meaningful engagement,” Lee said. “It will hopefully be a more effective Constitution that will allow the student government to serve out its purpose of being a voice for students.”

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Indiana beats Nebraska on road with 78-71 win

By Kamil Gut kgut@iu.edu | @GutKamiI

Indiana men’s basketball needed five chances, but it finally overcame its misery on the road against the team with the worst record in the Big Ten on Monday. Despite another struggle down the stretch, Indiana held on for its first road win of the season against Nebraska 78-71 in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Nebraska, which was 0-7 in Big Ten play entering the matchup, also fell to Indiana 68-55 at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall earlier this season in a game that began the conference season for both teams. With Monday’s win, Indiana moved to 13-4 on the season and 4-3 in Big Ten play.

“It feels good,” senior forward Race Thompson said postgame. “We figured it out on the road, it was about time. We figured out how to come together.

That’s really what it’s all about, is finding a way to win.”

The Hoosiers made six of their first seven shots to jump out to a 17-9 lead in a largely empty Pinnacle Bank Arena, but the Cornhuskers caught fire from behind the arc and knocked down four of their five firsthalf 3-pointers in the opening 10 minutes.

The lead never completely slipped from Indiana’s grasp, but the team couldn’t string together enough possessions to give itself a comfortable cushion against a Nebraska team hungry for its first conference win. Free throws and foul trouble dictated the scoring in the latter stages of the first half, and the two

teams combined to shoot 22-28 from the line in the opening 20 minutes.

“That’s Big Ten basketball,” head coach Mike Woodson said. “You’ve gotta play however the officials are calling it that night. Our guards did a good job of controlling the tempo.”

Largely through junior forward Trayce JacksonDavis’ play down low, Indiana found anything it wanted below the basket.

Indiana scored 22 of its 36 total paint points in the first half to give itself a slim 4539 advantage at halftime.

Of Nebraska’s 39 first-half points, 15 came from beyond the arc and 10 came at the free-throw line.

After being held scoreless in the first half, senior guard Parker Stewart knocked down two 3-pointers in the first five minutes of the second half. Indiana couldn’t find anything to fall outside of Stewart’s open looks from deep though, and went 2-11 as a team from the field to start the second half.

Jackson-Davis went on to score 9 of the Hoosiers’ next 15 points, including a putback dunk that drew plenty of emotion out of the All-American and resulted in a technical foul on him, to extend their lead to double-digits.

Jackson-Davis took a hard fall and picked up his fourth foul before heading to the bench with under seven minutes remaining.

Although he didn’t return against Nebraska, he said he’ll be ready to go for Indiana’s matchup with No. 4 Purdue on Thursday after recording his 30th career double-double.

Although Indiana didn’t

score a field goal in the final three minutes and had four players in foul trouble, Nebraska couldn’t make the most of its opportunities. Nebraska forced Indiana, which opted to run the clock down instead of creating shots for itself, into several miscues that led to turnovers. Those turnovers, which had been costly against teams like Iowa, weren’t Monday, as Nebraska missed four straight shots trying to cut its deficit of 6 points.

“When you’re on the

road you have to put yourself in the best position possible,” Woodson said.

“We’ve played well enough to have won some by now and our defense has given us opportunities.”

Sophomore guard Trey Galloway and sophomore forward Jordan Geronimo stepped up off the bench for the Hoosiers, scoring a combined 19 of the team’s 21 bench points with a perfect 7-7 shooting mark.

Freshman guard Tamar Bates was the only other scorer in relief of the start-

ers with 2 points.

Geronimo put together another all-around performance, scoring in doubledigits for just the second time in his career and pulling down eight rebounds, good for second best on Indiana behind JacksonDavis. He remained on the court in replacement of Jackson-Davis alongside Thompson to close out the game defensively.

“Our bench has been struggling a bit, and tonight we got some good production,” Woodson said.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

“They were ready to go and it helped secure this win.

(Geronimo) might be earning some more minutes if he continues to play that way.”

Indiana will next face Purdue for the first edition of this season’s rivalry series at 7 p.m. Jan. 20 in Assembly Hall.

“Don’t remind me of that,” Woodson said of Purdue’s winning streak against Indiana. “They’re next on our schedule, and we can’t lose at home. I can’t say it loud enough.”

Jackson-Davis injured, Geronimo steps up Michigan

By Tristan Jackson tripjack@iu.edu | @Trist_Jackson

With less than eight minutes to play between Indiana men’s basketball and Nebraska on Monday night, junior forward Trayce Jackson-Davis drove to the basket and left his feet for a layup attempt.

Jackson-Davis was leading the Hoosiers with 22 points and 12 rebounds, for the 30th double-double of his career, when Nebraska junior forward Derrick Walker undercut him on the shot attempt. JacksonDavis fell hard, immediately grabbing his lower back and shaking out his wrist after he hit the ground.

“I don’t think he had a chance to really break his fall,” head coach Mike Woodson said after the game. “He’s young, he’ll be alright.”

He made his way to the line and went 1 for 2, but head coach Woodson subbed him out after he hobbled his way down the court on defense and picked up his fourth foul of the game.

Jackson-Davis came out with 7:36 left to play in the game and never returned for Indiana, but behind a breakout game from sophomore forward Jordan Geronimo, the team was able to close out and win its first road game of the season, 78-71. Geronimo

shot a perfect 4-4 from the field, scoring 10 points and pulling down eight rebounds in the win.

“I see it every day in practice, he deserves to be on the court,” senior forward Race Thompson said about Geronimo. “He’s finding his minutes, and he’s going to keep finding those minutes if he keeps playing the way he’s playing.”

Geronimo led Indiana’s second unit after playing just five minutes in the team’s loss to Iowa last game.

Sophomore guard Trey Galloway, who finished the game against Nebraska with 9 points and two assists, said before the game Geronimo grew a lot in the offseason and said the coaches have let him know he’s doing a great job.

After the game, Geronimo said his teammates’ encouragement helped him boost his confidence and lift him up when he doubts himself.

“Each day, I’ve been trying to get where I know I can play at, and as the days went by my confidence really grew,” Geronimo said. “If I go up for a shot, I think I’m going to make the shot now, that’s really all it is, is a positive mentality.”

Galloway, who missed 12 games due to a broken wrist earlier in the season, is averaging 8.3 points per game since returning in the team’s

67-51 win over Ohio State.

Despite turning the ball over nine times in the last three games, he and Geronimo played big minutes down the stretch against Nebraska to close out the game. Geronimo is averaging 4.5 points and 4.2 rebounds per game this season. “(Geronimo) was huge, I thought our bench was great,” Woodson said.

“He might be earning some more minutes if he continues to play that way.”

Geronimo, who grabbed a careerhigh 13 rebounds earlier this season, said his mom played at the Univer-

sity of North Carolina, and she was a defensive-minded player who always told him to box out.

“She was a big rebounder back in the day,” Geronimo said. “I just got her genes, you know what I’m saying?”

While Indiana stepped up in Jackson-Davis’ absence, it will likely need him back if the team hopes to be competitive in its next matchup Thursday night against No. 4 Purdue. He took to Twitter to assure the Hoosier faithful he’d be back for the game, but it remains to be seen in what capacity he’ll be able to play.

State game postponed

By Amanda Foster amakfost@iu.edu | @amandafoster_15

Indiana women’s basketball will not face Michigan State on Wednesday due to COVID-19 protocols within Indiana’s program, according to an IU Athletics press release.

This is the second game of the 2021-22 season Indiana will not play due to COVID-19. It is the first postponement due to cases in Indiana’s own program. Graduate student guard Nicole Cardaño-Hillary entered health and safety protocols before Indiana’s game Friday against Purdue.

Per Big Ten Conference guidelines, the game has been postponed and the conference office will coordinate rescheduling with both schools. If the game is unable to be rescheduled, it will be declared a no contest.

Indiana’s next matchup is scheduled for 6 p.m. Sunday in Iowa City, Iowa against No. 25 Iowa.

Sophomore forward Kiandra Browne celebrates making a shot after being fouled during Indiana’s win against Purdue on Jan. 16, 2022, at Mackey Arena in West Lafayette, Indiana.

Indiana beat Purdue 73-68 in overtime on the road.

By Matt Sebree masebr@iu.edu | @mattsebree

No. 6 Indiana women’s basketball needed overtime to defeat Purdue 73-68 Sunday in West Lafayette. With the win, Indiana retained the Barn Burner Trophy and pushed its win streak in the rivalry to six

games.

With just over a minute left in the game, the Hoosiers trailed the Boilermakers by 6 points.

Across that final minute, Indiana outscored Purdue 9-3 to tie the game at 60-60.

In that span, senior guard Grace Berger scored 6 points and graduate student guard

Ali Patberg hit her first threepointer of the game to send it to overtime.

Indiana came out hot in overtime, hitting a pair of 3-pointers to build a 6-point lead of its own with just under three minutes remaining. Unlike Purdue, Indiana was able to keep its lead and emerge victorious against its rival.

“As long as there’s time on the clock for us, we’re always going to be in the game because I have a group of people in that locker room that will just not quit,” head coach Teri Moren said postgame.

Indiana entered the game without two of its starters.

Junior forward Mackenzie Holmes, who leads the team

in points and rebounds, was out with a knee injury for the second straight game. Graduate student guard Nicole Cardaño-Hillary, who serves as the team’s best perimeter defender, missed the game after being put in health and safety protocols Friday.

Sophomore forward Kiandra Browne started in

Holmes’ place again and scored 8 points in the win. In the backcourt, sophomore guard Chloe Moore-McNeil replaced Cardaño-Hillary and scored 10 points to go along with six rebounds in her first career start.

“They all had to make a play at some point, whether it was scoring the ball or getting a big defensive stop,” Moren said.

The crowd of 8,505 in Mackey Arena showed up early and made its presence known throughout the afternoon. Purdue’s student section was filled to near capacity and remained on its feet until the final buzzer. After the game, Berger and Moren said the crowd was imposing, but said they appreciated how many fans showed up to support both teams.

“Really, it was just exciting to play in that atmosphere, whether they’re for you, or they’re against you,” Berger said. “Turning up for a women’s basketball game like that is something we hope continues and we really enjoy playing in front of.”

Berger led the team with 24 points, 14 of which came in the fourth quarter and overtime combined, and she added to her production on offense with six assists. Senior guard Aleksa Gulbe added 21 points and pulled down a team-high nine rebounds, including shooting 3-4 from 3-point range.

Indiana’s next game won’t come until Jan. 27 when it faces Illinois at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. Indiana’s games against Michigan State and Iowa were both postponed due to COVID-19 protocols within Indiana’s program.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

COLUMN: Indiana accepts no excuses in 73-68 win against Purdue

By Luke Christopher Norton lcnorton@iu.edu | @ByLCNorton

Indiana women’s basketball had every excuse in the book to fall back on if it lost this game to Purdue.

It was already missing its leading scorer. Then, arguably its best defender was put in health and safety protocols Friday. Indiana hadn’t played in an arena this volatile since before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

But no, excuses are as unacceptable to this team as wearing black and gold Purdue apparel is in Bloomington. Indiana kept this game close through pure fight and fury, winning its sixth consecutive Barn Burner matchup 7368 in overtime on Sunday in West Lafayette, Indiana.

And a barn burner it was.

Junior forward Mackenzie Holmes was unavailable for the second consecutive game due to a knee injury.

But this time around, it was also without graduate student guard Nicole Cardaño-Hillary, who is in health and safety protocols, according to a press release.

Indiana’s depleted roster, down to nine players, took the court to scarce cheers from pockets of

cream and crimson scattered throughout Mackey Arena. Those voices were effortlessly drowned out by the all-encompassing void of black-and gold-clad Purdue fans jeering their rival.

The booing extended through the pregame announcement of Indiana’s starting lineup, but were replaced with scattered cheers when Indiana head coach Teri Moren’s name was called. Such a thing was expected, as West Lafayette was her former stomping ground as a player.

Moren even has a “Purdue Clause” in her contract with Indiana. If the former Boilermaker did the unthinkable and split town for West Lafayette, Purdue would owe Indiana a solid $10 million buyout for her services.

The roar from the crowd moments before the opening tip proved to be a foreboding sign of something much worse. Purdue’s student section filled much of its half of the arena from the court to the ceiling, and it was insistent that it be heard.

Indiana looked like itself on offense in the first half, passing the ball around often with minimal shots. The latter can be attributed to one or two Purdue defend-

ers immediately sticking themselves to any Hoosier ball handlers as soon as their fingertips met the leather of the ball.

Purdue was able to bully its way into the paint to the tune of 18 points, also making use of its comparatively vast bench to add 13 more first-half points to give itself a 32-27 lead heading

into the break.

The two teams traded blows throughout the third quarter, but Indiana managed to secure a 41-41 tie heading into the final quarter. Indiana had the opportunity to take the lead and gain the momentum which often accompanies it, but it came up short far too often. The team attempted 16

shots in the third quarter but only six fell through the basket.

Momentum was exactly what Indiana needed in the closing stages, and senior guard Grace Berger was all the merrier to provide some. She scored a teamleading 14 points in the fourth quarter and knocked down the clutch basket to

give Indiana a 60-59 lead with eight seconds remaining.

On the next play, though, Berger committed the foul that allowed Purdue to tie it on free-throws.

At this point, Indiana had to be exhausted. It had no bench to relieve its starters and now had to power through five minutes of free basketball in overtime. Another excuse arrived, but Indiana outright refused to use it.

The Hoosiers allowed just 8 points in overtime and spread the ball around on offense for 13 points of its own, claiming yet another victory in the rivalry.

Purdue’s students clamoured for the exits as the black and gold void returned to empty gray bleachers. Across the stands, the cream and crimson stayed put, their collective voice filling the arena.

Indiana has grit. It was pound-for-pound the superior team despite its growing list of missing players, and it took no excuses.

But Indiana’s fighting spirit and will to win will certainly provide an excuse to the next unfortunate team it meets, and beats, on the road.

The Indiana Daily Student’s Winter Survival Guide: Avoiding burnout in the cold

the perfect playlist to keep you warm on your walk to class Words by Alex Hardgrave ahardgra@iu.edu

As a senior, I’ve had my fair share of cold walks to campus. However, one ne blessing of online classes last year was getting to stay in my warm house in the winter. Getting used tting u s d to the se walk again has been hard, but the perfect music makes it easier. I will admit this playlist is a bit all over the place, but it will keep you on your toes so you can make sure e you don’t lose e feeling in them.

“I Felt a Chill Before the Winter Came” by Elvis Costello This slow song is the perfect way to get calm and collected while getting ready to leave for the h freezing, gray outdoors.

“Summer Song” by Louis Armstrong

Close your eyes (metaphorically, because you’re walking) and let this man’s iconic voice oice wrap you up like a hug. This is also a nice slowdown to get you going slowly but surely on n a cold morning.

“Island in the Sun” by Weezer Something about Weezer, no matter the song or album, automatically transports me to a beach.

Even if you step outside into gloom, you can pretend you’re on a sunny island.

“(Love is Like a) Heat Wave” by Martha Reeves and the Vandellas This fast-paced oldie is guaranteed to get you walking quickly along to the catchy beat.

“Sweater Weather” by The Neighbourhood This 2014 staple song will never not remind me of sitting in my bedroom under a bunch of covers in the winter, probably scrolling through Tumblr.

“Hot Love” by T. Rex This one, while having fun lyrics about heat, also has a catchy and driving beat that you can strut along to make it great walking music. Also, the “la la la’s” make it a fun one to sing. Anything to distract from how cold you are, right?

“Cold Cold Cold” by Cage the Elephant This pop rock song, while chalked full of lyrics about the cold, still has a driving beat and earworm lyrics that will “help you feel right” for what’s left of your travel to the warm halls of an academic building.

“Hot N Cold” by Katy Perry This is another throwback, perfect for when you’re feeling hot or cold. This song will warm you right up with some nostalgia.

“Winter” by Khalid This pop hit, even though it has sad lyrics like the chorus, “Love grows colder in the winter,” is upbeat and will help the time your outside speed by.

“If We Make It Through December” by Phoebe Bridgers This cover of the Merle Haggard song is perfectly beautiful and melancholy. It’s a nice end to this playlist, slowly bringing you back.

keep yourself and others safe by doing these four things this winter: Words by Alex Hardgrave ahardgra@iu.edu

Dress the part The Centers for Disease Control and Preventionl recommends a “tightly woven, preferably wind-resistant coat or jacket; inner layers of light, warm clothing; mittens; hats; scarves; and waterproof boots.”

If needed, these items could be bought cheaply at stores like Goodwill and The Salvation Army.

Get your vehicle ready If you own a car, you should make sure everything is working before the snow and ice hit.

Be sure to check that your tires have tread and try to buy and use a frost-melting windshield wiper fluid. Also, keep your gas tank full throughout the cold months to ensure ice doesn’t form in the gas line. Lastly, pack a winter safety kit to keep in your car in case you were to get stranded, according to the CDC. This safety kit can include: - Portable phone charger - Food and water - Extra hats, coats and mittens - Blankets - First aid kit - Flashlight - Tire pump - Flares - Cat litter (for traction if you get stuck)

Use a space heater safely Some older homes or apartments do not have central heating or good insulation. This leaves rooms in need of another form of heat, such as a space heater. If you have a space heater, you should know the risks and how to prevent accidents. Space heaters caused an estimated 1,700 fires last year and about 80 deaths, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Here are some tips for using a space heater safely, according to the City of Bloomington: - Place it on a flat and level surface.

- Keep the space heater at least three feet away from bedding, drapes and other flammable fabric.

- Keep pets away from the space heater.

- Do not have your space heater in a place in your home that gets a lot of foot traffic.

- Turn the space heater off before you go to sleep or when you leave the room it’s in.

- Make sure your carbon monoxide detectors and fire alarms are all working.

Make sure your home is winter ready: Even if you’re renting a house or apartment, there are some places you can check and ask your landlord to fix before the temperatures drop to make sure your space is safe. The first is checking your heating system is working, meaning that you turn it on before it gets really cold, and if it’s not working, ask your landlord so maintenance can be completed. Another important precaution is to

make sure you have an alternative form of heating such as a functional fireplace or a space heater in case your heat goes out during a winter storm, according to the CDC. You will want to make sure your water pipes do not freeze, according to the City of Bloomington.

Prevent your pipes from freezing by: - Letting your faucets drip a bit.

- Knowing where your water pipes are. If you rent, you can ask your landlord.

- Keeping the cabinets under your sink open (for sinks on outside walls).

- Undoing hoses connected to outdoor faucets and wrapping them in rags or something similar.

- Keep the garage door closed (if you have a garage with pipes).

If your pipes freeze: - Try using a hair dryer on them.

- Turn the faucets on a little bit to try to get the water moving again.

- Never use an open flame on the pipes.

If a frozen pipe bursts: - Find the shut-off valve and turn it off.

- Call your landlord or a plumber to get it fixed.

Ameliorate Records showcases Indiana life pressed on vinyl

By Taylor Satoski tsatoski@iu.edu | @taylorsatoski

“2 Minutes in Indiana” is a curated album by Ameliorate Records on a $25 vinyl record supported through a crowdfunding campaign.

Ameliorate Records reached their goal of 100 buyers needed to release the record physically. It will be digitally available in early February after the campaign ends.

“I put out an open call to artists on social media with this challenge: to create a new solely instrumental composition that lasts exactly two minutes,” Ameliorate Records owner Andrew Gustin said. “The theme is to capture what living in Indiana feels like to you.”

Gustin said he wanted 20 Indiana artists to make a track of what it feels like to live in Indiana. He said he included 20 artists because a vinyl is 40 minutes long.

Gustin said he created this record label at the be-

ginning of last year. He said his goal was to bring Indiana music communities together. This prompt, “2 Minutes in Indiana,” was a project he started after being involved in a similar album.

A record label in Amsterdam involved a one-minute track submitted by Gustin for an album with no theme.

Gustin said he had expanded the time limit to two minutes and created a theme of what it feels like to live in Indiana.

Although most of the album involves natural sound and synthesizers, Gustin said he did not put any limits on what type of music the artists would make.

Gustin’s piece, under the moniker Loud Diamond, was named “Willow Tree.”

He said the theme of his track was the slower Indiana pace and how it takes a long time for things to change.

“My daughter was pretty young at that time and I wrote this with her sitting

in my lap and playing the piano with one hand, I’m holding her with the other,” Gustin said. “So it’s kind of a simple little melody that I could just play over and over and it soothed her.”

Gustin said instrumental music doesn’t get the proper attention it deserves, especially on vinyl. He said he wanted this album to exist physically and not get lost online.

Ameliorate Records’ work can be found on their Bandcamp account.

After production costs, any proceeds from this album will be donated to the Musical Family Tree, a local nonprofit organization, Gustin said.

Gustin said he believes the open-minded nature of IU students and residents in Bloomington will make them a receptive and appreciative audience to the “2 Minutes in Indiana” album.

Jennasen, an Indianapolis-based musician, con-

tributed to this project. Her track involved a nature component with a gentle feeling, she said, to reflect how Indiana has always been her home.

Jennasen said she got the idea for her track, called “On Holliday,” at a park she frequents called Holliday Park in Indianapolis. She was trying to evoke calmness and serenity, she said, as living in a big city while finding spots of nature feels like home to her.

Jennasen said she is excited that Gustin is getting the album pressed on vinyl.

“It gives the work as a whole a chance to really thrive and be appreciated for what it is instead of just digitally distributing it immediately,” Jennasen said.

Mark Tester, an Indianapolis musician, also contributed to the album. Tester’s music may be found on his Bandcamp account. He described living in Indiana as feeling mellow.

Ameliorate Records owner Andrew Gustin created an album featuring 20 local artists who write about living in Indiana. The album cover was created by Sunny Smith.

Tester said he tried to keep the feeling of chilling at home and domesticity in mind while working on his piece.

“A lot of the music I make is influenced by geography and where I’m actually at,” Tester said, “So it’s a pretty fitting thing for me.”

MEN’S TRACK AND FIELD

Indiana competes in Commodore Challenge

By Matthew Press mtpress@iu.edu | @MatthewPress23

Over the weekend, Indiana men’s track and field sent its high jump, long jump and triple jump teams to the Commodore Challenge at Vanderbilt University. The rest of the team competed in the Simmons-Harvey Invitational Saturday at Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Indiana placed third as a team at the invitational, finishing behind Michigan and Michigan State, which took first and second, respectively. The pole vault team, consisting of gold and silver medal winners junior Nathan Stone and freshman Ryan Lipe, found the most success over the weekend.

Stone, a second-team AllAmerican, set the all-time meet record with a height of 5.43 meters.

Absent from the 60-meter dash was reigning Big Ten Track Athlete of the Year senior Rikkoi Brathwaite.

Coach Ron Helmer said he wanted to exercise extreme caution with Brathwaite.

“He’s just at a place where you’ve got the number one time in the country, and it’s not something you want to take chances (with),” Helmer said. “The training load right now is pretty heavy and they’re working hard, and with somebody like him we just have to be really careful.”

Earls also placed third in the triple jump.

Answer to previous puzzle

Indiana, built on his strong showing in the Hoosier Open with a win in the 800-meter dash. The Hoosiers had a successful performance in the mile race with graduate student Ben Veatch and seniors Arjun Jha and Jake Gebhardt taking second, third and fourth, respectively.

The energy inside the U-M Indoor Track Building never ceased. The last event, the 4x400 meter relay, provided one of the most exhilarating moments of the meet.

Despite smooth baton handoffs from one Hoosier to the next, Wolverine anchor Dubem Amene gained significant ground on Benton at the last turn and emerged victorious in a picture-esque finish.

Nonetheless, Helmer said he and the team were pleased with the early season performance.

“I think we made good progress,” Helmer said.

“We’re training hard and just getting things going.

We felt like the way the majority of our kids competed and the resulting performances in an early-season meet probably sets us up to where we can feel pretty good about where we are and what we have to look forward to.”

Indiana returns home next weekend for the Gladstein Invitational, which will take place Jan. 21-22 at Harry Gladstein Fieldhouse.
