TRUMP’S EXECUTIVE ORDERS
A guide to understanding executive orders and their history across presidencies By Sarah Gardner gardnese@indiana.edu | @sarahhhgardner
President Trump signed an executive order Friday to restrict travel from seven countries, among other restrictions. Here’s how executive orders, including this particular order, work. Executive orders Executive orders are, by legal
definition, presidential policy directives that do not require congressional approval and, though binding, are still subject to legal review. They are a type of executive action. The president’s power to sign an executive order — and take all executive actions — comes from Article II of the United States Constitution.
Past executive order use Historically, executive orders have been used to direct federal agencies on their priorities, use of resources, and interpretation of law and policy, not to create new law. Frequency of executive orders In the first seven days of his presidency, Trump signed six
executive orders and several other executive actions and memorandums. For comparison Barack Obama signed nine executive orders in his first ten days in office and 16 executive orders in January and February in his first year of presidency. Many presidents sign orders and actions frequently at the beginning of their term. Such actions tend to then taper off.

Indiana University’s commitment to diversity and inclusivity in the context of international students and international engagement has been most recently set forth in the attached statement from President Michael A. McRobbie which I trust you will find both eloquent
President Trump’s decision to sign an executive order limiting emigration from seven Muslim-majority countries to the United States drew criticism from many politicians. The controversial order placed a four-month hold on permitting refugees entrance to the U.S. and a temporary ban on travelers from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. Syrian refugees are prohibited from entry to the U.S. indefinitely. All policies were effective immediately. Monroe County Democratic Party Chair Mark Fraley said he thought the order was un-American. “This is a terrible assault on human decency,” Fraley said. “Here in MoCo, we’re aware of the terrible consequences of this.” In September 2016 the state department confirmed Bloomington would begin the resettlement process of refugees in early 2017. However, decisions regarding budgeting for refugee resettlement across the country were postponed until April; therefore, the earliest any refugees could make it to Bloomington was 2018. Although Fraley said he disagreed with the executive order, neither the local Democratic nor Republican party formally issued a statement. Republican Party Chairman William Ellis said the group focuses primarily on local issues and felt a statement on the order deviated from a local focus. “If we focus too much on what Donald Trump is doing or what the administration is doing, it could muddle what we do here,” Ellis said. Gov. Eric Holcomb remained silent on the issue, as did governors from bordering states Illinois, Kentucky and Ohio. Michigan’s Republican Gov. Rick Snyder was an exception. In an interview with a Michigan radio station, Snyder said enforcing immigration law was not a priority or primary function of state and local police and said the state planned to continue to welcome immigrants as part of a long-term plan to increase the state’s population. As protesters gathered in airports around the country and the American Civil Liberties Union scrambled to put together an argument for a temporary stay that would allow detained travelers to remain in the U.S., senators took to social media to express their concerns. “We can make our country even safer and do so in a way that is consistent with our values,” tweeted Sen. Joe Donnelly, D-Indiana. “The executive order that was signed yesterday by Donald Trump is not one of those ways.” Sen. Todd Young, R-Indiana, released a statement to Fox59 in Indianapolis that remained neutral on the issue. “The federal government has no more important responsibility than protecting the American people, and refugees from any country should only be permitted to enter the United States if we are certain they do not represent a threat to our citizens,” Young said. “I look forward to carefully analyzing this temporary

In the emotional aftermath of President Trump’s divisive executive order to ban travelers from seven Muslim-majority countries on Friday, hundreds gathered on the lawn of the Monroe County Courthouse Sunday to support local immigrants and international students. The order, which banned immigrants from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Lybia, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen from entering the United States for at least 90 days, has prompted protests across the country in airports and community centers. Organized by Btown Justice, the rally saw protesters listening
to speeches and chants. “I always feel so guilty,” said IU sophomore Luma Khabbaz. “I did nothing to deserve this. Most of us are here because of pure luck.” Khabbaz, public relations chair of the Muslim Student Association at IU, said she is a Syrian-American Muslim and most of her family still lives in Syria. MSA will focus on inclusion, tolerance and change in the future, Khabbaz said. Then she called out President Trump directly. “A letter to my president,” she said. “First, you will never be my president.” The crowd roared as she paused for another moment. Then she called Trump a coward and continued. “You don’t know what it’s like to know how to dodge bullets

but not how to ride a bike,” she said. After Khabbaz finished speaking, Gionni Ponce spoke on behalf of the Latino Graduate Student Association. Ponce said Trump was targeting those he thinks are weak. “But as a group, we’re not weak,” she said. “With help, we are not weak.” There were also speakers from the Black Graduate Student Association, the UndocuHoosier Alliance and the Maurer School

In the wake of Friday’s immigration executive order universities around the country are working to address the influence it could have on international students. IU, a school that enrolled more than 6,000 international students at the beginning of the year, is no exception. The executive order bans entry to the United States of travelers from seven Muslimmajority countries for 90 days in addition to a 120-day freeze on admission of all refugees and a halt on any Syrian immigrants indefinitely. IU President Michael McRobbie issued a statement Sunday that affirmed the University’s commitment to its international student population while urging international

March for Life unites IU and Purdue students By Dominick Jean drjean@indiana.edu @dominojean
Only a week earlier, the Women’s March on Washington had brought more than a million people to Washington D.C. Men and women protested and marched through the streets of the capital, and this past Friday and Saturday yet again demonstrators walked the streets in the March for Life, an event that even managed to unite pro-life advocates from IU and Purdue University. The 2017 March for Life brought another week of united protesters into Washington, D.C., said IU sophomore and President of IU Students for Life Jenna Fisher. “We were able to build friendships and bonds with people over this issue,” Fisher said. “It’s really beautiful how the march does that.” The march is an annual event which takes place around the anniversary of the 1973 Supreme Court case Roe v. Wade, which legalized abortion in the United States. This year the march brought approximately 650,000 people to Washington, D.C. Vice
President Mike Pence spoke at the event and announced his support of the pro-life movement. “Because of all of you and the many thousands who stand with us in marches like this all across the nation, life is winning again in America,” Pence said. In 2016, Pence said he wanted to see Roe v. Wade “consigned to the ash heap of history” and has often advocated for stricter abortion laws in Indiana. Fisher said the experience was amazing but it was different from past years because of the Women’s March the week before. That march was a prochoice movement but she said she believes both movements are marching for the concept of body autonomy. Body autonomy relates to the free will of each individual to decide how to use their body. Fisher said the difference between her group and pro-choice organizations is they acknowledge the rights of a fetus to have body autonomy from conception.

Emily Eherenman, vice president for IU’s Students for Life, looks back in the midst of the crowd. More than 650,000 people were estimated to have been in attendance for the March for Life in Washington, D.C.
University, said she thinks pro-life advocates are the ultimate example of what it means to support body autonomy and value human life. “You’re valuable from the moment you exist,” Smith said. “If you don’t have life no other rights matter.” Smith said IU and Purdue students were able to come together because this
issue was one that affected everyone in some shape or form. The unity they showed on the march was the “perfect picture,” Smith said. “We were on the bus, and we were just tearing each other up, but we all had this common goal,” Smith said. Emily Eherenman, vice president of IU Students for Life and a sophomore, said
she had been on the march several years now but with Pence coming out to speak she said she really felt the administration was listening to them for the first time. “It was really good to know we were supported,” Eherenman said. Smith said during the election cycle she knew she could never vote for Hillary Clinton
because Clinton supported legislation which would grant federal funds to health centers which provide abortions. Smith said abortion is a hotbutton topic but she said she believed it to be the great issues of her generation. “We should be talking about this every single day,” Smith said. “We should never shut up about it.”
TRUMP’S EXECUTIVE ORDERS
New immigration ban questioned IU professor calls By Alyson Malinger afmaling@indiana.edu | @aly_mali
Never again. This is the resolution that has been tagged to one of the largest human genocides, the Holocaust, in modern history. That resolution has circulated throughout the world of social media after President Trump’s executive order Friday. Many individuals associated the measure with history repeating itself. The order barred Syrian refugees indefinitely from entering the United States, suspended all refugee admissions for at least 120 days and blocked citizens from seven Muslim-majority countries Iran, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Somalia and Sudan. “We have a moral obligation to take in refugees,” said Gunther Jikeli, IU professor on the study of contemporary anti-semitism. Jikeli had just returned from Germany, where he helped with relief efforts of the more than 1 million refugees that settled in the country. He said he was ashamed of the refugee efforts of the U.S. compared to other countries, such as Germany and Sweden. “There is no justice to anyone to ban refugees completely,” Jikeli said.
Mark Roseman, IU professor of history and director of the Borns Jewish studies program, said he was shocked beyond belief when he heard about the immigration ban. He was in the United Kingdom when he heard the news and was preparing to give an annual lecture associated with Holocaust Memorial Day. “This order is shocking on its own terms but also as a new sequence of the new presidency,” Roseman said. “By closing the door to refugees, it seems to be breaking a long-standing commitment. For the most part we always had open doors.” Roseman expressed concern particularly when looking at the situation as producing a negative signal to the rest of the world. The U.S. is being contradictory to its own values, Roseman said. Part of the reasoning of the block, according to the order, was to prevent radical members from entering the country. “Everybody understands that there is a section of Islam that is drawn to radical jihad,” Roseman said. “Every Western power knows they have a problem, but no one else is treating Muslims as a wholesale threat.” Jikeli said the analogy of
Jews during World War II was not an accurate depiction of the current situation. “Jews were killed because they were Jews,” Jikeli said. “The situation today is more complex. There is not a general persecution of Muslims.” Jikeli said the focus should move away from the people and focus on defeating the ideology of hatred through education Jikeli said. Roseman said this order does not necessarily give power to the white supremacy demographic, but panders to it. “It gives ambiguous statements or blurry statements from the president that resonates with this type of group,” Roseman said. Jikeli, on the other hand, said it definitely gives power to this suppressed group. “This is the difference between the right and the far right and the populous right,” Jikeli said. “We’re seeing that in other countries in Europe that the populous parties want to ban all refugees and don’t want to look into the individuals. Jikeli said the phenomenon of refugees is nothing new. People have fled countries throughout history to flee famine, war and execution. “Even in the age of globalization, people can’t move
around without fear of persecution,” Jikeli said. Moving forward neither historian said they knew what the next step should be in relation to the executive order. Jikeli said while he is not a politician the ban does not seem like something which would help stop Islamic terrorism. He said the country needs to focus on fighting back against “jihadist propaganda” instead. Roseman said the difficulty with the situation is the distinction of right and wrong versus going against the Trump administration. “As soon as you say you are opposing the action, you are put in the group of antiTrump,” Roseman said. “As soon as you say something it becomes a political statement. Something is lost, a level of dismay, in this country of immigration, of toleration, of freedom, of multiple ethnicities.” Rosemand and Kijeli both said they wanted to make clear that the executive order did not represent the people. “In history the vulgar voice was never the voice of the presidency,” Roseman said. “Now people associate this voice of what it is to be American and what it is to be president.”
LGBT scholarship fund surpasses goal By Hannah Boufford hbouffor@umail.iu.edu @hannahboufford
Friends and strangers carefully balanced black plastic plates piled high with food and clear plastic cups filled with various drinks as they laughed and caught up with one another Saturday night in Grazie! Italiano. The GLBT Alumni Association, in an effort to reach their $1 million goal for the year, put on its annual silent auction to raise money for the association’s operating costs and scholarships fund. “It’s refreshing to see the young people here,” said Kim Davis, former GLBTAA president. “It makes my heart happy.” A rainbow pride flag hung over a booth in the entrance of the restaurant as people began flooding into the event. As attendees waited in line to check in, buy tickets and redeem their silent auction bid numbers, friends and strangers hugged and introduced one another. Within just a half hour, the bar area of Grazie! was packed with people, and it was hard to hear over the loud buzz of conversation. Wearing sneakers, light wash jeans, a grey zip-up hoodie and a dark blazer, Mike Shumate was just one person in the large crowd
offering hugs and handshakes to nearly everyone he came across. Shumate is a former president of the GLBTAA board of directors, and, on Friday night at a separate event, he was awarded the GLBTAA Distinguished Alumni Award. Shumate is the eighth person to win the award, which was created to recognize achievements by LGBT alumni or their allies and supporters. To be named the distinguished alumni, one must be nominated for the award. A committee in the GLBTAA then reviews the nominations and votes for that year’s winner. Friends and colleagues alike had only good things to say about Shumate, who they said was instrumental to the success of the organization and the scholarship fund. “If it wasn’t for Mike, looking at what we had on the path and pushing forward, I’m not sure where we would be today,” Davis said. “He stepped on the gas pedal and kept it going forward.” Others focused on the Shumate’s dedication to all the students he came across and said he always took care to listen and see how they were doing. “The thing that strikes me is that he still takes an interest in the students,” GLBTAA
President Tim Lemper said. “I often say he has one of the biggest hearts of anyone I’ve ever known.” Though praised by many, Shumate didn’t take all the credit for the award and instead gave credit to the figures, whom he called the real heroes, in the program who came before him. “I didn’t accept this just on my behalf but on behalf of all of those committed volunteers and those whose footsteps I follow,” he said. On Friday night, in addition to Shumate being awarded the GLBTAA Distinguished Alumni Award, the organization announced its scholarship fund was just shy of $1 million. William Yarber, a senior scientist at the Kinsey Institute, was in attendance and was moved by how close the organization was to its goal, Shumate said. Then Saturday at the reception, Yarber wrote a check for $1,600 to the IU Foundation that put the organization’s scholarship funds over the million dollar mark. As Shumate relayed the good news to those around him, Yarber stood by ready to write the check. In his right hand he balanced a plate of bruschetta on top of his wallet, and in his left hand, a yellow check waited to be filled out.
When Lemper announced the news of reaching the million dollar mark to the crowd, cheers arose from everywhere in the bar area, drowning out Yarber as he spoke of his decision to cut the check. As the cheers died down, he picked up his explanation again. “This organization stands for the human right to be who you are,” he said. “I admire it. I’m proud of Indiana University and its support of equalities and proud it declares that and fights for it to be a clear tenant of the University.” Yarber is a professor of applied health science and the senior director at the Rural Center for AIDS/STD prevention. He earned four degrees at the University and said IU changed his life. Yarber said the scholarship fund’s achievement of reaching a million dollars separated IU from other universities in its financial support for LGBT students. “It’s overwhelming,” Shumate said. “First, consider that this was groundbreaking and the first LGBTQ student scholarship campaign in the nation, and the results are gratifying. It means that we have now endowed our scholarship program, allowing us to continue providing scholarships to IU students for a very long time.”
off trip in fear By Eman Mozaffar emozaffa@indiana.edu @emanmozaffar
Babak Seradjeh decided he had to cancel his research trip when he arrived at Newark Liberty International airport in New Jersey. As he was about to depart, he questioned himself and the people around him to see if the trip was worth the risk of not being able to return. The IU associate professor of physics was planning to go abroad to meet with collaborators for a United States-funded research grant, but because he’s a dual citizen of Iran and Canada, he’s afraid he won’t be allowed back in if he leaves the country. President Trump issued an executive order Friday that bans entry of people from seven Muslim-majority countries for at least the following 90 days. These countries, which are Iran, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Somalia and Sudan, were selected based on a perceived threat of terrorism in order to protect American citizens. In addition the admission of refugees from all countries has been suspended for four months. Those displaced from Syria are barred entry indefinitely. Seradjeh is a green card holder and permanent resident of the U.S. He said this ban affects him, his family, friends and some of the people he works with. “I thought everything would be okay,” Seradjeh said. “I went to Newark and asked the agents in the airport if I was able to make it back in. As I kept following the news I wasn’t so sure.” Seradjeh’s project was a collaboration between IU and researchers in Israel and was partially funded by the Israel-U.S. Binational Industrial Research and Development Foundation. The effects of the ban on Seradjeh extends to his personal life — although he
hasn’t visited Iran in many years, his mother was planning to visit the U.S. for his upcoming wedding. Now that the ban is instated she won’t be able to attend. “If this becomes the way things are done, people like me will be disfavored in receiving grants because of travel restrictions,” Seradjeh said. “This is going to get in the way of how I do my work and live my life.” Although Seradjeh’s work is directly affected by the executive order, he said he is also concerned for the international students at IU who will be unable to receive approval to study in the U.S. in the future or whose statuses may no longer be honored even if they were legally admitted in the past. “The civic society opinions I’ve read say the way it’s worded is unconstitutional, but they can still reword it and keep the original intent of banning specific kinds of people,” Seradjeh said. “It’s even worse for people who are displaced, because at least I had the privilege to be here and work here already.” Senior and political science student Niloofar Asgari said she feels a sense of dread thinking about the future. Her parents are naturalized U.S. citizens and immigrants from Iran. “This has caused so much destruction and divided people so much more,” Asgari said. “Even for people who are not directly affected and have friends and neighbors who will be. This isn’t us — we’re better than this.” Despite the immediate effects of these restrictions, Seradjeh said he was moved by the intense response from both the Bloomington community and from other cities across the country. “I’ve been overwhelmed by how far my posts online have gone,” Seradjeh said. “The support has been positive and reassuring.”

TRUMP’S EXECUTIVE ORDERS
Hundreds protest at Indianapolis airport By Emily Ernsberger emelern@indiana.edu @emilyerns
INDIANAPOLIS — Hundreds of protesters from around Indiana, as well as two federal government officials from Indiana, gathered Sunday evening at the Indianapolis International Airport in response to President Trump’s most recent executive order. The protest followed the example of other demonstrations at airports, including John F. Kennedy International Airport, Chicago O’Hare International Airport and Washington Dulles International Airport. Rep. Andre Carson, DDistrict 7, and Sen. Joe Donnelly, D-Indiana, spoke at the peaceful rally. “As Hoosiers, we are saying enough is enough,” Carson said. “If you think we are going to sit back as concerned citizens and let you dictate and codify bigotry, we will say no and we will stand up to you and make sure you no longer stay in
office.” Trump’s order, signed Friday, suspended both immigrants and non-immigrants from seven Muslimmajority nations — Syria, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen — from entering the United States for 90 days. No refugees are allowed to come to the U.S. for 120 days under the order. Those who oppose the travel ban say it is a discriminatory order against Muslims. Indianapolis International Airport representatives said no one traveling from the seven countries on the ban list was detained at the airport during the weekend. Exodus Refugee Network announced Saturday there were no expected Syrian families coming to the state this weekend. It is unknown how many travelers from the other six Muslim-majority countries were unable to come to Indianapolis. The Indianapolis International Airport has few direct international flights. The protest took place in the baggage claim area of the
airport and wrapped around the luggage carousels. Carson, a Muslim, joined in with the crowd chanting prorefugee cheers such as “No hate, no fear, refugees are welcome here” at the beginning of the protest. He addressed the crowd later and said the travel ban is a divisive policy. Donnelly, a seemingly surprise speaker, thanked the crowd for standing up for American values. “This executive order is not what America is about,” he said. Donnelly later told reporters he believed the ban is targeted against Muslim populations and discriminatory toward those already living in the U.S. “Green card holders who live here who go to IU or Purdue or Notre Dame or Ball State who maybe want to come back can’t get back in,” Donnelly said. He also said the Congressional Armed Services committee, on which Donnelly sits, has spoken out against the ban, and he is concerned

Protestors of the Trump administration’s travel ban demonstrate Sunday at the Indianapolis International Airport. The nonviolent protests featured a series of speakers, including Sen. Joe Donnelly, D-Indiana.
Trump’s plan to keep out terrorists will instead put the U.S. at risk for attacks. “This gives Al-Qaida and ISIS a recruiting tool that they can use against us,” he said. No counter protesters or
anyone in favor of the ban came to the event. Galen Denney, one of the event organizers, said he felt compelled to put on the event because he felt only thinking and posting about the ban on social media was
not enough. “I have friends that are Syrian refugees and friends that are Muslim,” Denney said. “This issue was one I couldn’t let go. It is just antithetical to what I think it is to be an American.”
TRUMP’S EXECUTIVE ORDERS
Companies, countries denounce executive order’s ban By Melanie Metzman mmetzman@indiana.edu @melanie_metzman
Since Friday, many United States companies and other countries have come out against President Trump’s executive order banning immigrants and non-immigrants coming to the U.S. from Iraq, Iran, Syria, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen for 90 days. Companies Immigrants have a history of starting businesses in the United States, according to a 2011 report from the Partnership for a New American Economy, which found about 45 percent of high-tech companies in the Fortune 500 were founded by immigrants or children of immigrants. Google sent out a memo to its employees urging anyone with a visa, green card or dual citizenship from one of the seven banned countries to cancel their travel plans. “While the entry restriction is currently only in place for 90 days, it could be extended with little or no warning,” the memo read, according to CNN. Google also released a
statement Saturday which said the company is “concerned about the impact of this order and any proposals that could impose restrictions on Googlers and their families, or that could create barriers to bringing great talent to the US.” The company also said it promised to “continue to make our views on these issues known to leaders in Washington and elsewhere.” One of the company’s cofounders, Sergey Brin, attended a protest at the San Francisco International Airport. Brin declined to comment and said he was there in a personal capacity, according to CNN. Brin is an immigrant from Russia. Apple CEO Tim Cooke sent an email in response to what he called “deep concerns” from employees. Cooke assured employees Apple doesn’t support Trump’s policy. “Apple would not exist without immigration, let alone thrive and innovate the way we do,” he said in an email, according to CNN. “Apple will do everything we can to support them,” Cooke said in the email.
“Apple is open. Open to everyone, no matter where they come from, which language they speak, who they love or how they worship.” Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft and an Indian immigrant, told employees Saturday the company is committed to providing “legal advice and assistance” to its 76 employees who are citizens of the affected countries. “We appreciate that immigration issues are important to a great many people across Microsoft at a principled and even personal level, regardless of whether they personally are immigrants,” Microsoft executive Brad Smith said in an email to employees, which Nadella shared on LinkedIn. Airbnb co-founder and CEO Brian Chesky tweeted in two tweets Saturday “not allowing countries or refugees into America is not right, and we must stand with those who are affected. Airbnb is providing free housing to refugees and anyone not allowed in the US. Stayed tuned for more, contact me if urgent need for housing.” Amazon also emailed employees about the
potential consequences of the order and offered legal advice to employees who may be affected. “As we’ve grown the company, we’ve worked hard to attract talented people from all over the world, and we believe this is one of the things that makes Amazon great -- a diverse workforce helps us build better products for customers,” said Beth Galetti, Amazon’s vice president of HR, in an email. While some companies received positive feedback for their responses to the executive order, others have gotten backlash. The New York City Taxi Worker’s Alliance called for a complete stop to pickups from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. at JFK airport Saturday, where two Iraqis were being detained. Uber received negative attention on social media after the company tweeted at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday it was suspending surge pricing at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York. Eliminating surge pricing effectively lowers the cost of a ride with Uber. #DeleteUber quickly started trending on Twitter.
Families celebrate Chinese New Year By Christine Fernando ctfernan@indiana.edu | @christinetfern
A child twisted red, orange and yellow felt together in her hands to make a goldfish. At the next table, another child laughed and dropped globs of pink paint on a page to form a branch of cherry blossoms. These activities were a part of Family Craft Day in honor of Chinese New Year and the beginning of the Year of the Rooster. The event, which took place Sunday in the Mathers Museum of World Cultures, involved crafts such as felt goldfish, cherry blossom paintings, Chinese calligraphy banners and rooster noisemakers. A child speckled her rooster with purple, pink and green at one table. Her mother Jaee Likhit said she attended the event with her children and husband because they wanted an engaging indoor activity. “We can’t really do anything outside these days, and our younger one is very interested in doing crafts and hands-on things like that,” she said. Scattered around the room were a couple signs with information about Chinese New Year. One introduced the rooster as one of the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac. Another explained people born in the Year of the Rooster are
said to be bright, ambitious, warm-hearted and responsible. However, Likhit said she wished the event involved more information about the history and culture behind Chinese New Year. “The crafts are really great for the younger kids, but I think it’d be nice to have a more educational aspect for older kids and adults,” she said. “I really want to know more about Chinese New Year and Chinese culture.” While she said she came because it was something for her daughter to enjoy, attendee and parent Marika Voukidis said she was also interested in the cultural aspect of Chinese New Year. As a result, she said it is important for Americans to understand and appreciate Chinese New Year even though it is not an American holiday. “We should look to understand and celebrate all kinds of culture,” she said. “We live in a diverse country and community, so it’s important to learn about different cultures and holidays that aren’t typically American.” Sarah Hatcher, head of programs and education at Mathers, said she agrees that it is important to celebrate holidays that were not originally American. “We are getting more and more diversity here in
People shared photos of the “delete” screen on their phone and compared Uber’s move to crossing the picket lines, according to CNN. In response, Uber tweeted Sunday morning that the move was not meant to break up the strike. Uber CEO Travis Kalanick posted on Facebook on Saturday that the company was in the process of identifying drivers from the seven countries who could be affected by the ban. For those currently stuck outside the United States, Kalanick said Uber would help compensate for their missed wages during the 90-day ban period. However, in the post Kalanick emphasized the importance of working with Trump. Kalanick also reiterated this to employees at an allhands meeting last week, according to CNN. Kalanick is a member of Trump’s business advisory group, which will have its first meeting this Friday, he said. Lyft, Uber’s biggest competitor, took an alternative approach. The company emailed customers

International responses In response to the U.S. banning Iranian entrance in the country, Iran retaliated with a restriction on U.S. citizens entering the country. In contrast to the U.S.’s stance, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau shared his country’s open-door-policy on Twitter. “To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength #WelcomeToCanada” Trudeau tweeted Saturday. He subsequently tweeted a picture of him greeting a Syrian refugee, with the hashtag #WelcomeToCanada. Leaders of Scotland, Sweden, the United Kingdom, Germany, France and the Netherlands have all condemned the ban on social media as well.

LUCAS LETS LOOSE
Editors Dylan Moore and Zack Chambers opinion@idsnews.com
EDITORIAL BOARD
National security breeds fear: part two Lucas Robinson is a senior in English and political science.
With the use of the atomic bomb in 1945 the United States set itself on a mission that involved the exporting of violence and terror unparalleled in human history. For decades American weapons of war pulverized Indochina and the Middle East. Only fifteen years after 9-11, a negligible amount of time, Trump has unleashed the power of the security state to its full potential, a naked authoritarianism that I believe Barack Obama built for eight years. The gloves are now off. The intention is not only the militarization of the southern border but a full assault on the most vulnerable sectors — namely immigrants — in our society. The wall along the southern border has a profound political and economic context. It is an impractical waste of money. Additionally, much of the border consists of the Rio Grande river. Many are pinning Republican legislators for their “fiscal conservative” hypocrisy concerning the wall as if Republicans ever shied away from insane spending. “Ronald Reagan taught us that deficits don’t matter,” Dick Cheney said. Both Reagan’s nuclear arms race and Cheney’s wars in the Middle East spent trillions of nonexistent tax dollars, but there is another dimension to these delusional conservative projects. The deficits created by this spending justify the gutting of social welfare programs, education spending and environmental regulations, all under the pretenses of “fiscal conservatism.” Not only are we, the people, bankrolling the wall, but we will pay for it ten-fold over with the destruction of our social services and environment. Trump’s executive order also calls for the construction of private detention centers along the border and the hiring of 10 thousand Immigration and Custom Enforcement officers, which is part of the sprawling Department of Homeland Security. The contracts given out to security and prison corporations throughout this militarization of the border will no doubt be generous. The U.S. already operates a sprawling immigration detention complex where entire families are kept in horrible conditions for years at a time. ICE was at the center of Obama’s deportation machine, which over his eight years in office deported 2.5 million people. Last week in San Francisco, ICE officers “accidentally” entered a preschool in a Hispanic neighborhood while allegedly looking for a sex offender set for deportation. Even though entering a “sensitive location” like a preschool is prohibited by Homeland Security, the ICE officers did it anyway and terrorized 30 preschoolers in the process. In the age of Trump, ICE is the immigration Gestapo arm of Homeland Security. Sheltering those sought for deportation from ICE officers is an important step in fighting back. In the narrative of the War on Terror, Trump, an Americafirst pop-culture dictator that further consolidates the power of the ruling class, is the next logical step. Woody Guthrie once sang “I’m gonna tell you workers, ‘fore you cash in your checks / They say ‘America first,’ but they mean ‘America next!’” luwrobin@umail.iu.edu

Trump puts cheap guac in danger The proposed 20-percent tariff on Mexican goods will only infuriate buyers President Trump has the potential to alter the typical college student’s diet, a feat that no dietician has been able to accomplish so far. Among other changes, his current plan threatens the student dependency on guacamole from Chipotle, a crucial factor in student budgets. Trump recently announced his support of a 20-percent import tax on goods from Mexico. The plan is bound to slap American consumers in their foodstuffed faces. The tariff would result in increased prices of goods imported from Mexico and penalize companies with production based on that side of the border. Mexico is the world’s largest producer of avocados, which makes the tax a
particular threat to the United States’ recent infatuation with the avocado and its alter ego, guacamole. In addition to curbing consumption of guacamole-filled tacos, a reduction in avocado imports could ruin numerous weightloss plans based around this distinctly nutritious fruit. Mexico is also the main source of imported tomatoes in the U.S. Tomatoes alone represent nine percent of Mexican agricultural exports to the U.S. A rise in tomato prices could rule out pizza as a cost-effective option for Friday-night dinner with friends. Furthermore, the tariff could affect college drinking habits. Mexico remains the leading exporter of beer to the U.S. and ranks third
in liquor exports. If you’ve ever wondered why alcoholic drinks have Spanishlanguage names, like Corona and Dos Equis, it’s because they come from south of the border. The U.S.’s long obsession with imported food took the form of military interventions, often nicknamed the Banana Wars, in Latin America in the 20th century. These military interventions were designed to protect the interests of fruit companies by supporting state interests that aligned with companies’ economic agendas for cheap labor and control over agricultural land. Trump’s proposed tax is a shift from interests in foreign food production to a fear that jobs are emigrating across the
border. The reasoning behind the tax is the conviction that it will bring back jobs from Mexico by deterring companies from producing on the other side of the border. Indeed, we do import manufactured products from Mexico, and vehicles are the leading import from our southern neighbor. However, it would be wrong to assume that employment has simply driven across the border. U.S. unemployment, in fact, remained at or below five percent during 2016, with an average of 4.85 percent unemployment. In perspective, the Federal Reserve estimates that the natural rate of unemployment remains between 4.5 and 6 percent — a figure that indicates
unemployment resulting from natural transitions in the economy. Closures of U.S. factories appear catastrophic because they cause a sudden high unemployment rate in a concentrated region and make it difficult to find comparable jobs within the contiguous area. However, factory shutdowns correspond with longrun trends in the economy rather than a mass exportation of jobs across the border. Trump’s proposal reminds us not only to trust our gut feelings and our selfinterested, college-student stomachs but to consider the economic factors that could affect consumption and production on national and international levels.

Keep fighting for disability rights
Republicans must step up
Last Monday’s Google Doodle featured disability rights activist Ed Roberts, who shook up the campus of University of California, Berkeley, in the early 1960s and led political initiatives on accessibility and independent living in California and beyond. Roberts was an excellent inspiration and example for how we should fight for disability rights. My mingled excitement and surprise over the cartoon image of Roberts was perhaps excessive, but the colorful Google sketch represented the picture always absent from school history textbooks. I have always questioned the absence of the disability rights movement in historical discussions of civil rights. Landmark legislation, like the Americans with Disabilities Act, did not happen on its own overnight nor have its ideals yet been fully realized. As such, the Google illustration reinforces the relevance and urgency of recognizing disability rights activism both in the past and in the present day. Roberts’ contributions to the disability rights movement preceded the
1990 passage of the ADA by nearly 30 years. He enrolled at Berkeley in 1962 after facing resistance in admissions. Roberts was quadriplegic as a result of polio and slept in an iron lung. Infrastructure for accessibility and independent living did not exist at that time. Roberts is a remarkably quotable person and a visionary when it comes to vegetable metaphors. In response to a doctor’s suggestion that he would remain a vegetable after having polio, Roberts’ retrospective and suitably prickly reply asserted his decision to be an artichoke: “a little prickly on the outside but with a big heart.” However, Roberts’ vision did not stop with thorny plants. For instance, the combined efforts of Roberts and the newly founded Center for Independent Living made Berkeley one of the first cities to install curb cuts in its sidewalks. Their blueprints for a more accessible society promoted models of universal design and noted not solely people with physical disabilities benefit from curb cuts. Bike riders, for instance, appreciate the safety

of not dropping their tires off of a four-inch curb. Roberts, in one speech, voiced his encouragement for open social resistance: “I encourage everyone to go out and get arrested. Not just for anything, but for the cause.” Roberts could have been arrested on multiple occasions for his demonstrations were it not for the inaccessibility of prisons. The irony was that this almost universal inaccessibility constituted both the cause of his protest and the reason he could not be arrested for his civil disobedience. Above all, Roberts reminds us of the need to back words, symbols and catchy slogans with concrete progress. The Google Doodle was a tangible acknowledgement of the disability rights movement, but a cartoon image is not enough. Rather, it represents only the start of a greater public consciousness of disability rights issues. We must follow his example. kmilvert@umail.iu.edu

Cracked glass on my phone from politically induced rage has made reading Twitter impossible. I know full well Congress can’t hear me through social media, but even if I were the most involved civic actor, they still wouldn’t listen. The irrational barricading of policy by extremist politicians has created a climate where partisanship turned tribalism betrays American citizens on the daily. Republican lawmakers have gone along with Trump’s executive orders without rightful alarm. They need to step up to curb his power before it’s too late. Connect the dots and you get a picture of party-loyal politicians playing their own nonexistent zero-sum game. Political scientists Thomas E. Mann of the Brookings Institution and Norman J. Ornstein of the American Enterprise Institute studied the party-before-country method feverishly as it continued to worsen during the Obama years. In 2012 the two wrote “It’s Even Worse Than It Looks: How the American Constitutional System Collided with the New Politics of Extremism,” a diagnosis of Congress after years of observing political ideologues. Atypically the book’s take doesn’t fall victim to a false equivalency of the two major parties and is just as relevant in the dawn of Trumpism as it was when first published. Mann and Ornstein give both liberal and conservative credibility to explain the current state of internal affairs, how it’s crumbling and what to do to stop it from crushing the people. A Washington Post review of the book summed it

up best by saying Republican ideologues only act like leeches when “the political system has become grievously hobbled at a time when the country faces unusually serious problems and grave threats.” Republican lawmakers outspokenly denounce the actions of Trump and his sympathizers only to cower in a silent “just kidding” when the policy promises to preserve the GOP. To maintain our dignity, we must look for factual information and truth. Mann and Ornstein observe “the country no longer has a public square where most Americans shared a common set of facts used to debate policy options with vigor, but with a basic acceptance of the legitimacy of others’ views.” Stopping the dissemination of fake news and the destructive trend of feeling out the facts will be crucial because “ultimately, the public will reap what it sows,” they write. Don’t misconstrue this as an attack on Republicans in general, whether that is all politicians, voters, Republicanism or former supporters of the party like me. Rather, take this as a call to be a better constituent or representative, one that’s not too egotistical to compromise or blindly partisan to understand what’s just for citizens as a whole. Take this as a call to live in reality because it’s becoming evidently clearer that we’ll soon be living in whatever reality is fit to Trump’s liking. jsbourkl@umail.iu.edu

conference schools issued similar statements addressing how the order might affect their international students. The Association of American Universities, of which all Big Ten schools but University of Nebraska are members, released a statement urging the government to repeal the order and calling it damaging. University of Michigan President Mark Schlissel went so far as to say he would support international students and university police would not collect immigration status
information from arrestees. In an interview with the Indiana Daily Student on Sunday IU Provost Lauren Robel repeated the sentiments of a letter sent to Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals students and read at a Bloomington Faculty Council meeting in November. The letter said students’ immigration status was only of interest to the University’s administration and police force if it was a matter of public safety. “The list we have right now is both over- and
under-inclusive, as we say in law,” Robel said. “It includes, as far as I can tell, almost a hundred percent more people than it should, since we’ve never had any terrorist activity in this country connected to those countries, and it doesn’t include countries from which there have been terrorist threats.” On Saturday Clemson University graduate Nazanin Zinouri was allegedly removed from her return flight to the U.S. after visiting family in Iran. When asked
how IU might address the issue of students or faculty who may get locked out of the country, Robel said the answer is complicated. “I don’t know what our options would be at that point, which is why we’re strongly urging all of our students and faculty and staff members who might be affected by these orders not to travel overseas and to take into account the fact that any visa processing that does happen, if and when it’s continued, could be
extremely lengthy,” Robel said. She said her hope is for Trump’s administration to rethink the parameters it’s position because it reflects poorly to the rest of the world’s perception of the U.S. Those exempt from the travel ban are holders of NATO and diplomatic visas. According to University records, there were two G-4 visa recipients enrolled at IU last fall, the only recorded exempt visas among IU students this year.
executive order will become a self-inflicted wound in the fight against terrorism,” the statement read. “Our most important allies in the fight against ISIL are the vast majority of Muslims who reject its apocalyptic ideology of hatred. This executive order sends a signal, intended or not, that America does not want Muslims coming into our country.” Democratic senators who issued tweets or statements included Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-California, and Cory Booker, D-New Jersey. “There is no legitimate
reason to ban refugees — the vast majority of whom are women and children who have experienced absolute horror,” Feinstein tweeted. “I very much regret that the president has chosen this dark path for our country.” Booker also tweeted he planned to join protesters at Newark Liberty International Airport on Sunday. The executive order also drew responses from more localized government officials. The ACLU succeeded in arguing for a temporary stay, and a federal judge, Ann M.
Donnelly of Federal District Court in Brooklyn, blocked a portion of the executive order Saturday. The judge ruled individuals who had already arrived at US airports from the seven banned countries could not be removed. The White House still stands by the order. As protests continued for a second day in airports across the country, Trump released a statement on Facebook on Sunday to compare his executive order to an order issued by former President Barack Obama in 2011. “We will keep (America)
free and keep it safe, as the media knows, but refuses to say,” Trump wrote. “My policy is similar to what President Obama did in 2011 when he banned visas for refugees from Iraq for six months.” However, the two orders differ in multiple ways. For example, Trump’s executive order promises to give priority to refugee claims from people who practice a religion that is a minority in their country. All of the countries banned are predominantly Muslim, which has caused some political leaders to view the order as not only a
violation of American values in general but specifically a violation of religious freedom. “One of America’s founding — and most sacred — principles is the freedom of religion,” wrote Sen. Gary Peters, D-Michigan. “I am extremely alarmed by President Trump’s executive order that effectively implements a religious test for those seeking to enter the United States. While I support continued strengthening of the refugee screening process, I remain opposed to the suspension of the refugee admissions program.”

IU pulls away for win at Wisconsin By Josh Eastern jeastern@umail.iu.edu | @JoshEastern
The final score of IU’s 7854 win against Wisconsin wasn’t indicative of how close the game was. On paper the Hoosiers should have had an easy time with the Badgers, who sit in last place and are winless in the Big Ten, on Sunday, even with the game being played in Madison, Wisconsin. That, however, was hardly the case. The Hoosiers led for more than 30 minutes, but failed to pull away until the fourth quarter when they were finally able to assert their will. Junior guard Tyra Buss led the Hoosiers with a gamehigh 19 points, and IU tallied its third consecutive win and its first in the Kohl Center since 2009. “Every game is difficult, and we realize that,” IU assistant coach Glenn Box said on the postgame show on WHCC 105.1 FM. “Yes, they were winless coming in, but we knew they had some fight. We knew they were going to come out and compete.” The Badgers got out to an early lead, but the Hoosiers were able to combat that with a 12-1 run to take control of things. Buss had eight points in the first quarter but didn’t score for the rest of the half. IU took a 10-point lead into the second quarter when Wisconsin started to heat up from the field. The Hoosiers went through a 1-of-5 stretch in the second quarter that was matched by a 5-of-6 mark from the Badgers. IU entered halftime with just a six-point lead. “They played pretty well after the initial start of the first half,” Box said of Wisconsin. “Second half we grinded them down a little bit. We had
78-54 some smart defensive plays that triggered some things for us that certainly helped.” The Hoosiers got a balanced scoring effort Sunday. Junior forward Amanda Cahill, Buss, senior guard Alexis Gassion and senior forward Jenn Anderson all tallied double-digit scoring performances. The bench, on the other hand, had a tough day from the field. They contributed just six points and made just one basket before the last two minutes of the fourth quarter. In the end, IU finished shooting 48 percent from the field. From behind the arc, the Hoosiers shot just 18 percent. Wisconsin went more than five minutes without scoring in the fourth quarter, and the Hoosiers outscored the Badgers 21-3 in the final 10 minutes. “Thank goodness we responded,” IU Coach Teri Moren said after the game. “At that point you just rely on your veterans to go make plays and then to dig down defensively and I thought we did a much better job in the fourth of defending better.” The road now gets a bit tougher for IU. Its next matchup is Thursday in East Lansing, Michigan, against Michigan State. The Hoosiers are now 5-3 in the Big Ten, and with the Spartans sitting at 4-4 in conference play, it will be a prime opportunity for IU to separate itself from the middle of the standings. “We know that they are very, very good,” Box said of Michigan State. “They are led by a very good guard, and they have so much talent. They are just a good team. We know that, and we’ll be prepared.”

Second straight loss for IU By Andrew Hussey aphussey@indiana.edu @thehussnetwork
EVANSTON, ILL. — IU began its two-game road trip a winner of three consecutive games and four out of five. It appeared the Hoosiers had weathered the early Big Ten adversity and started to figure things out. However, rather than keeping that momentum going, IU proceeded to drop both games of the road trip by a combined 43 points. IU lost the second of those two games Sunday, 68-55, at Northwestern after its offense struggled without junior guard and leading scorer James Blackmon Jr. After a sluggish start led to a 30-point loss at Michigan on Thursday, IU was able to get out to a hot start against Northwestern. The Hoosiers started out the game on a 10-to-1 run, as sophomore
forward Thomas Bryant scored IU’s first five points. “We just wanted to flow right into our offense,” Bryant said. “We worked on it in practice. We paid great attention to it before the game, and I think that’s what was flowing for us early in the first half.” Later in the first half, Northwestern ripped off a 20-2 run to take the lead, and the Wildcats never looked back. The Wildcats’ firsthalf run was sparked by the Hoosiers’ turnover problem, which has dogged IU all season long. During this stretch IU turned the ball over on seven consecutive possessions and allowed Northwestern to get out in transition and take a commanding lead. IU’s defense did show significant improvement from its inability Thursday to keep Michigan’s offense from getting any shot it
SWIMMING AND DIVING
wanted, and held Northwestern to 41.1-percent shooting from the field and only five 3-pointers. However, IU struggled to contain Northwestern’s dribble penetration. The Wildcats were able to attack the rim and total 21 free throws by game’s end. Northwestern junior guard Bryant McIntosh paced the Wildcats’ attack with 21 points on 7-of-13 shooting. “We let him get to his right hand too much,” IU Coach Tom Crean said. “We let him get too comfortable.” McIntosh routinely found his teammates for easy shots and finished with eight assists. In the second half the Hoosiers couldn’t mount much of a comeback. Northwestern was able to stretch its lead and keep IU at bay. The Hoosiers whittled the lead down to 12 late in the
68-55 game but couldn’t get it any closer. “When we switched defenses late in the game, and the game was still in the balance, we committed a foul late in the clock,” Crean said. “And then we gave up two offensive rebounds.” The Hoosiers just weren’t able to muster enough stops and scores to come back on the Wildcats in the second half. IU has now lost two straight games and is below .500 in Big Ten play. “We try not to focus on that,” junior guard Robert Johnson said. “At the end of the day, we just have to keep moving forward and look at every game like a one-game season from this point on — try to stack some wins together.”

IU swimming and diving closed its season Friday as the men took down No. 7 Louisville with a 195-105 victory while the women fell, 171-129. The men’s win ensured their first undefeated dual-meet season since 1981. “We knew they would be pretty tuned up for this meet,” sophomore swimmer Ian Finnerty said. “So it’s just exciting to race a team that we know is going to be fast.” Though it was senior day the Hoosier men got strong performances from underclassmen Finnerty and sophomore Vini Lanza. Lanza won both the 100and 200-yard butterfly and teamed with senior Bob Glover, junior Ali Khalafalla and Finnerty to win the 200yard medley relay. Finnerty also came up big for the Hoosiers by winning the 100-yard breaststroke, the 200-yard individual medley and finishing second in the 200-yard breaststroke. “It’s great to be able to make history at IU,” Lanza said. “I think the whole team is working really hard, doing a great job helping each other in and out of the pool.” The Hoosiers also got stellar performances from their diving squad. Juniors Michael Hixon, James Connor and Cody Coldren and senior Joshua Arndt finished in the top four spots respectively in the 1-meter springboard. IU continued its dominance on the 3-meter springboard by sweeping the top four spots again, and Hixon got the sweep for the day. “Our depth is our strength,” Hixon said. “One through four, that’s what we look to carry into Big Tens.” On the women’s side,

IU junior freestyle and backstroke swimmer Ali Khalafalla leaps into the pool for the 200-yard medley relay against Louisville. The men’s team ended the meet against the Cardinals with a 195-105 victory.
sophomore Lilly King and senior Gia Dalesandro were bright spots for the Hoosiers on an otherwise dull day in what head swim coach Ray Looze said was the first loss ever to the Cardinals. “Honestly, it wasn’t a decent performance,” Looze said. “We’re not where we want to be on the women’s side, and we’re working at it, and there’s still season left but we just need more people to step up and less talk and more action.” King again swept the 100- and 200-yard breaststroke events but got all she could handle from Louisville senior Andee Cottrell. King won the 100 by just .05 seconds and the 200 by .19. “Cottrell is awesome — probably one of my best swimming friends — so I was excited to race her this
week,” King said. “She’s always a really good race for me and just excited to see her mostly.” For Dalesandro the day was bittersweet. She was able earn second-place finishes in the 100-yard backstroke and the 100-yard butterfly. However, because she’s a senior, it was her last chance to compete in the regular season in the CounsilmanBillingsley Aquatics Center. “Excited to kind of move on, but it’s a big chapter in my life that I’m saying goodbye to so it’ll definitely be different but good and bad,” Dalesandro said. Among female divers, senior Michal Bower closed out her IU career with a sweep of the 1- and 3-meter springboard. Bower edged out junior teammate Jessica Parratto in both events. “As a senior, you gain
MEN IU 195, No. 7 Louisville 105 WOMEN No. 10 Louisville 171, IU 129
some wisdom and you kind of get to the point where you get really confident in your training, and I really trust my coaches so we did a lot of strategic prep work,” Bower said. “So today it was the first day I did all of my dives. I think learning to trust yourself and trust your training, even if it’s not perfect, is stay calm and do what you know how, I guess.” The Hoosiers will now turn their sights toward the Big Ten Championships, which will take place Feb. 15-18 in West Lafayette, Indiana, for the women and Feb. 22-25 in Columbus, Ohio, for the men.
Junior Chase Pacheco won the heptathlon at the IU Relays this weekend by narrowly defeating former IU track and field star and 2016 Olympic gold medalist Derek Drouin in his return to Gladstein Fieldhouse. Because he meet was an invitational and not a dual meet with athletes competing as teams, Drouin was able to come back to IU and his old stomping grounds. Pacheco finished the seven events with 5,201 points. Drouin scored 5,125 points, and junior Andrew Huber finished third with 5,090 points. The Hoosiers finished the two-day meet with a number of quality performances, including two new school records. IU Coach Ron Helmer said he continues to see more positives with this team all the time. “All in all I would say I am happy,” Helmer said. “There were a lot of good things, but we still have room for a lot of improvement.” Among the many good things Helmer is talking about, the most entertaining of them might have occurred in the last event of the meet, the weight throw competition. Junior Andrew Miller broke an IU record as a swarm of teammates, coaches and competitors surrounded and cheered him on during his record-breaking throw of 21.06 meters. His throw was good enough for 11th best in the NCAA this season. “It was fun to be over there,” Helmer said. “It was fun to see the team get behind the throwers, who sometimes are isolated off there, and it resulted in a school record with a big-time throw.” Willie Morrison, a
sophomore, finished in third with a distance of 18.90 meters. Junior Daniel Kuhn continued his season of dominance with two more victories, including a school record. Helmer said those kind of performances are the ones that help build this team. “I think that environment at the end is a good example,” Helmer said. “When one person gets it going, often times within that group several people can get it going too. We’ve seen that from time to time with our 800-meter guys who are following Daniel around all the time.” Kuhn helped the team of junior Zach Reitzug, sophomore Markevious Roach and freshman Caleb Ojennes secure another win this season in the 4x400-meter relay with a time of 3:11.57. Kuhn also broke the school record in the 600-meter with a time of 1:15.88. He now has the fifthand sixth-fastest 600-meter times ever run by a collegiate athlete on a 200-meter track. Junior Jordan Huntoon followed Kuhn for second in the 600-meter and took first in the 800-meter with a time of 1:50.20. Sophomore Bryce Millar finished second in the mile run with a time of 4:03. Seniors Jeremy Coughler and Carl Smith finished first and second in the 5,000-meter run. Smith led the way before Coughler made his comeback in the final five laps to finish with a time of 14:21.77. Sophomore Eric Bethea took home a second-place finish in the triple jump as former Hoosier and 2016 Olympic participant Olu Olamigoke won the event with a jump of 15.98 meters. Next weekend, the Hoosiers will travel away from Gladstein Fieldhouse for the first time this season as they head to Notre Dame to compete in the Meyo Invitational in South Bend, Indiana.

Dance Theatre of Harlem blends old, new By Calie Schepp crschepp@iu.edu | @calierae9
Through expressive dance numbers, featuring performers of different ethnicities and backgrounds, the Dance Theatre of Harlem’s audiences receive messages about light, love and belief. The contemporary and classical dance institution performed on Saturday night at the IU Auditorium to a crowd of students, families and art-lovers. The show was founded in 1969 by Arthur Mitchell and Karel Shook, both classically trained in ballet. They wanted to give “the opportunity to learn about dance and the allied arts” to the community in Harlem, according to the group’s website. The performance was split into four sections, each with its own theme and style of music and choreography. The sections were “New Bach,” “Chaconne,” “Change” and “Vessels.” Freshman Saraye Stringer said one in particular, “Change,” stood out to her. “I felt like the one with the three girls says we should be coming together rather than being torn apart by what’s going on right now,” Stringer said. “Change” was performed
by Chyrstyn Fentroy, Ingrid Silva and Stephanie Rae Williams and was inspired by women of color. Wendy Bernstein, 71, said she found the subject matter of this and other pieces timely given the recent events in politics. “The powerful women are so appropriate right now after last weekend,” Bernstein said. “After all the marches, we need every uplifting positive sense we can get.” Various classes, workshops and demonstrations were offered during the Dance Theatre of Harlem’s almost weeklong residency at IU. Elizabeth Burr, a senior and contemporary dance major, said she attended one of the master classes and was taught that it’s very important to get the strict ballet technique down but also add in some old dance styles. “I really appreciate dance forms like that because there’s this big separation between high art and low art,” Burr said. “People consider high art to be ballet or dance performed on stage, and they, meaning society, consider low art to be club dancing and stuff you do on the weekends, so it’s fun to see how you can combine that and kind of push the boundaries.” The Dance Theatre of

Performers from Dance Theatre of Harlem showcased their piece “New Bach” along with three other pieces during their performance Saturday in the IU Auditorium.
Harlem is known for incorporating modern dance styles into its classical ballet pieces and drawing inspiration from clubs and street performances. Freshman Jose Diaz said he liked the
mixture of styles featured in the show and felt compelled to come back to IU Auditorium after attending the Potpourri of the Arts Concert last fall. “Overall I really liked the
show,” Diaz said. “It was a great performance and a great display of the art that’s offered here at IU.” With its culturally driven choreography, moving visuals and use of classical
scores, the Dance Theatre of Harlem encourages audiences to contemplate the society they live in. “The show has been saying a lot without saying anything,” Stringer said.
High school students receive art awards at the Venue By Sanya Ali siali@indiana.edu | @siali13
The Venue Fine Art & Gifts finished its series of events revolving around its showcase of emerging artists Sunday afternoon with an awards program. Gabe Colman, owner and curator of the Venue, awarded the certificates and prizes to recipients in each of five different medium categories during the final event for the Emerging Artist Juried Student Art Show. The event aimed to celebrate student artists at Bloomington High Schools North and South. There were awards for Best in Show, Silver Best in Show and Honorable Mention in the categories of 2D General, 2D Painting, 2D Drawing, 3D and Photography. “We currently live in very divisive times, so any opportunity where I can get smiling faces into one place — and art can be the reason
to do that — I consider that to be a good day,” Colman said. Colman said he was born and raised in Bloomington and went to Bloomington High School North. He studied art under the instruction of Diane Davis-Deckard, who is still the teacher for drawing and painting at North. Davis-Deckard attended the event and spoke with her students about their work, which she said impressed her because of the variety. “I just teach drawing and painting, so this event gives me a good opportunity to see photographs, jewelry, stained glass and all that,” Davis-Deckard said. Joanne Weddle, member of the Bloomington Watercolor Society, said the quality of the work what stood out to her the most. “I am amazed at the talented young artists we have in our schools,” Weddle said. “Every time I come
and see them I am in awe. I’m a watercolorist who took it up after I retired, so I’m still a learner. When I see the quality that these young people have put together, it’s amazing. I know what hard work it is now that I’m painting.” BWS was one of the sponsors for this emerging artist show, along with Bloomington North Rotary, Picture Gallery, the National Society of Arts & Letters and Pygmalion’s Art Supplies. Seeing the work of both local high schools side-byside provides the opportunity to celebrate the successes of the respective art programs, Davis-Deckard said. “It’s reflective of the programs,” Davis-Deckard said. “I’ve been a teacher for 37 years, and I’ve worked at developing the program for a long, long time now. It’s fun to see how things are going at the other high school, how they approach things differently.”
Students come together to practice calligraphic script By Emma Cesar ecesar@iu.edu | ecesar93
In a quaint house off of 10th Street is the Asian Culture Center, a place of plentiful resources, classes and opportunities for domestic and international students alike who have an interest in Asian culture that is little known to many students. The Asian Culture Center offers a wide array of programming, such as workshops and discussions. To celebrate the Chinese New Year there was an event featuring crafts, stories and performances. Beginning this semester the center offers a program Friday evenings that teaches anyone eager to learn the ancient East Asian art of calligraphy. Anyone from beginners to advanced writers are welcomed to join instructor Austin Guan to gain knowledge and assisted practice. Guan, who began calligraphy at a young age, encourages the public to come to the ACC to learn this skillful cultural practice. “I am very glad that my teacher taught me well,” Guan said. “Back to the time when I first started, I was even not a good brush holder. It was very hard at first, but when I practiced
more, I learned the skill not only physically, but also mentally.” Anyone of any calligraphy skill level is welcome to join Guan every from 4:30 to 6 p.m. Friday in the Asian Culture Center. Often working on a oneon-one basis, Guan offers a personalized learning experience to each individual. He teaches attendees whatever they wish to learn from brushes and hard pen techniques to meanings and messages of the script. He often starts beginning students with the fundamental writing of Chinese characters before transitioning to more advanced strokes to foster an appreciation for the practice. Next he will correct their method and posture. Finally, the students are ready to approach longer, more complex words and phrases by calligraphy masters. Though he does take a personalized approach, Guan also expressed the importance of learning in a group to make the experience more enjoyable and effective. “Personally, I wish to share my calligraphy experience with other people,” Guan said. “It is hard to learn something alone and communication among
different learning experience actually promote the process of learning. Also, I figured out it is also a great culture for people to know.” Although the new program is still small and unknown, Guan and other students said they look forward to its growth as it brings diversity to IU’s campus and student life. Charley Jackson, an IU student, said she initially came to expand her horizons at IU and to learn more about activities the school has to offer. “I think, as IU students, we tend to stick to what we know or we don’t have enough information about other programs like this and I think we should take the time to explore other programs,” Jackson said. “Although there were very few people who attended, I feel like this is a program that could grow and could be worth checking out if you’re interested in calligraphy.” IU student Carrie Maxwell , said she doesn’t know much at her stage of learning, but is committed to. Maxwell said learning this art form is a slow process. “We had a Chinese New Year celebration in my dorm, and we did this there, and I wanted to learn a bit more,” Maxwell said.
Weddle said it is not only an indicator of a strong program but also strong teachers steering students toward perfecting their skills. “I know that it takes good teachers — it’s a reflection,” Weddle said. “When I go to a workshop and almost everyone there is being successful, I look at it as the result of good instruction.” Davis-Deckard said student enthusiasm lends something special to the ability to teach. “It’s kind of two-way, if the kids come in and get encouraged and have lots of opportunity for lots of venues to show in, they start gaining pride and working harder,” Davis-Deckard said. “Seeing what other kids have done encourages them to work more.” Students who won in the Best in Show category were Ben Zumbrun in 2D General, Emily Yeargin in 2D Painting, Ashton Courtney in 2D Drawing, Barbara Granicz in 3D and Sophia

Colman said the work on display was all worthy of praise. “Creating a piece of artwork is incredibly personal,” Colman said. “Putting that artwork out on display can be agonizing, putting it out for dissection, discussion, critique can be overwhelming, but it is fundamental to growing as an artist.”
CONNECTED THROUGH CONCERN
Conversations in Rome reveal foreign perspective on U.S. politics The art of eavesdropping is never more fun than in the watering hole that is the public restroom. This weekend I traveled to Rome, and mid-Colosseum visit I made a pit stop in a cafe bathroom. While minding my business in my stall, my friend struck up a conversation with a girl our age from Portugal. “Where are you from,” the girl asked my friend. “America,” she answered. I could hear the girl chuckle to herself a little bit and shift her voice to a knowing tone. “Ah, how are you feeling about your situation?” she asked. My friend laughed right back and said she was not happy at all. She told the girl she hated President Trump. “You’re a good person,” she said, and they parted ways. A woman halfway across the world knew that something is off about what’s happening here. Leaving to study in Europe, I expected to escape the soap opera that is our government. I expected to have some conversations like my friend had. However, her response strikes me. The outcry about Trump’s behavior is not just an American response. Countries all over the world
are concerned about what’s happening just in the first week of his presidency. On the day Trump was sworn in people in many different countries gathered to protest his inauguration. People stood at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin. One sign, captured by the Houston Chronicle, reads, “We in Berlin know that walls are wrong.” London; Madrid; Bristol, United Kingdom ; and Brussels were all other cities standing against Trump on his big day. Conversations were had, stances were taken, chants were sung. Our choices inspired this outcome. There are all kinds of implications in history that reflect a fear of repeating the past. I don’t think it is ridiculous to be worried we, as a society, are in danger of targeting a whole group of people out of fear and misinformation. This alone is one of the reasons Trump won. When I first heard the girl in the bathroom, I felt embarrassed. To some, we are the laughingstock of the Western world. This reality star and business mogul became the most powerful man in the free world, which seems funny, but what’s happening in the U.S. is no joke. No
Katelyn Haas is a junior in journalism.
matter where you go, when you make it known you’re American, you’ll most likely get a chuckle or sigh of pity. You could view that as simply embarrassing, but there is some unity in this. Yes, people are standing together because of how angry they are about Trump, about a fear of our government becoming everything we have fought against for years. That said, they are standing together. What I heard in that bathroom was two people, of two completely different cultures, uniting. There is a lot of drama in that statement of course, but the art of complaint and protest truly does bring people together. We sit in our own countries and rarely think about how others affect us and how we affect them, but once we leave that bubble we realize how connected we all are. A telling sign of how people on the outside looking in feel about our new president is our Portuguese friend’s last statement to my friend as she made it clear she was no fan of Trump. “You are a good person.” haask@umail.iu.edu @khaas96

Banged-up Hoosiers split weekend matches
Hoosiers set personal bests By Julia Briano jbriano@iu.edu | @julia_bri

During the IU Relays in Bloomington this past weekend, IU faced new opponents and had yet another successful performance as four Hoosiers posted career-best performances. With the first month of the season now complete, IU Coach Ron Helmer said he expects his athletes to improve even more going forward. “We need to continue to make improvements,” Helmer said. “As we move into February and the most important part of our season the expectation is that everybody should improve and put marks on the board better than they have all year long.” In the 60-meter dash this weekend freshman Megan Grabowski took first place with a time of 7.51 to set her new personal record and the fifth fastest time in school history. In the final 100 meters of the mile event, junior Corinne Cominator and teammate sophomore Maggie Allen were neck-and-neck for first place. Cominator took the win by just .02 seconds and secured a new personal record at 4:49.35. Allen finished with a time of 4:49.37 and both are now ranked in the top 50 nationally. The Hoosiers were able to sweep the 600-meter event. Junior Kendell Wiles took first and was followed by Mackenzie Bollinger, who ran a new career best. Freshman

In a week filled with sickness and injuries, IU at one point had just three players able to practice. Head coach Ramiro Azcui said illnesses and minor injuries plagued his athletes throughout the week, but the Hoosiers squared off against Washington State and Cincinnati on Sunday and were able to pull off a split. Early Sunday morning IU was faced with the challenge of playing an unfamiliar opponent in Washington State and suffered a 4-0 loss. After the match Azcui said he felt his team was unprepared for what it faced. “We had never seen them hit a tennis ball before,” Azcui said of the Cougars. “I don’t think we were ready for what they brought to the table.” After the loss to Washington State the next match brought an opponent in Cincinnati that IU had a bit more knowledge of. Unlike the match against Washington State, IU got the doubles point to gain a 1-0 advantage, and from there it was smooth sailing for the Hoosiers. They went on to secure a 5-1 victory over the Bearcats. Sophomore Caitlin Bernard made quick work at the No. 3 singles position. She scored a 6-2, 6-0 victory against Cincinnati’s Antonella Bramato. “I started really well,”
Invitational at Notre Dame, IU will be in a new environment for the first time this season. “We are getting to that time of the year where performances matter more and more, so whether we are at home or we are in a new environment, it shouldn’t matter,” Helmer said. “They should just go out and compete really, really hard.” Even with all the success the Hoosiers have had so far, the team is approaching the most important time of the season, and as Helmer explained, this is where the

team’s success really matters. The team now has only three weeks to make final adjustments before heading to the conference championships. “Some athletes are ready right now to go in and compete really well in the Big Ten Championship and others are really close,” Helmer said. “It’s just a matter of continuing to do what we do. It’s high on their list of priorities, and I suspect that in the next few weeks we are going to see them in a really good place going into the Big Ten Championship.”

SUNDAY MORNING Washington St. 4, IU 0 SUNDAY AFTERNOON IU 5, Cincinnati 1 Bernard said. “I had high energy, stepped into the ball, stayed in the rallies and stayed positive.” Azcui said his team is more used to Cincinnati and the Bearcats’ style of play because his squad has faced the Bearcats at several fall tournaments in recent years. He said he felt IU was far more ready for the challenge presented by Cincinnati than WSU and added that he liked the way his team was able to rebound despite losing in the morning. Azcui changed his lineup a tad against Cincinnati by putting sophomore Natalie Whalen into doubles for the first time this year to play with Bernard, and it worked to the Hoosiers’ advantage. “The advantage of playing a double header is you get the opportunity to play a lot of players,” Azcui said. “But at the same time, you get tired and if you’re injured that kind of hurts you a little bit more. We knew this second match was going to be important so we put Natalie in there to get a little boost to pull this thing through.” The Hoosiers improved to 3-1 on the season and will look to get healthy this week before facing Miami (Ohio) at 11 a.m. next Saturday. hunch.
