NEW FACES

From IDS reports

A man convicted of child molestation was arrested Saturday on a warrant for failing to register as a sex offender. Jason Kincaid, 41, is charged with failure to register as a sex or violent offender, a felony. He’s also charged with misdemeanors for domestic battery, false identity statement and possession of marijuana. In 2008, Kincaid pleaded guilty to a child molestation charge. He appeared to have been released from the department of correction in 2012, based on records from MyCase, Indiana’s public case summary service. He was convicted on a failure to register charge in 2013 and was charged with failure to register again in October. Police were called Saturday afternoon to the B-Line Trail Switchyard Trailhead after a witness said they saw a man striking a woman, Bloomington Police Sgt. Pam Gladish said. The responding officer took descriptions from the witness. A second officer was called to the scene and found the couple. The second officer found Kincaid and Beverly Gentry, 49, on South Walnut Street. While pulling up, the officer saw Gentry strike Kincaid in the back of the head. Gentry, who appeared intoxicated, said she and Kincaid were in a relationship. She said she did not hit Kincaid. She was arrested on a misdemeanor battery charge. Kincaid gave a name and birthdate other than his own when the officer first approached him, Gladish said. He was arrested on the domestic battery charge. After handcuffing him, police found a leafy green substance believed to be marijuana on his person. Gentry gave police Kincaid’s real name during an interview at the Monroe County Correctional Center, Gladish said. Police then found the active warrant for failure to register. His bond on that charge is set at $50,000. Jack Evans

SHAWN WATSON quarterbacks coach Watson joined IU’s staff in 2016 as an offensive quality control coach after 30-plus years of experience in various capacities at the collegiate level. He was moved to quarterbacks coach for the Foster Farms Bowl, and will remain in that position as a part of IU Coach Tom Allen’s 2017 staff.

MIKE DEBORD tight ends coach offensive coordinator DeBord owns 35 years of coaching experience with stints at both the collegiate and professional level. He spent 2015 and 2016 as an offensive coordinator for the University of Tennessee, and has coached for the Chicago Bears and Seattle Seahawks.

GRANT HEARD wide receivers coach passing game coordinator Heard began coaching in 2002 as an assistant coach at a high school in Mississippi. He moved to the college ranks in 2004 as an offensive graduate assistant at N.C. State and most recently spent the past five season as a wide receivers coach at Ole Miss.

Tom Allen’s recent hires signal fresh vision for IU’s offense By Jordan Guskey jguskey@indiana.edu | @JordanGuskey

IU’s new offensive coordinator joked at his introductory press conference that he might need a little help from IU Coach Tom Allen with play calling from time to time. However, don’t expect Allen to have too much of a hand in what Mike DeBord has planned. “I want to run the defense and be able to manage the team,” said Allen, who will remain IU’s defensive coordinator in addition to being the team’s head coach. “That’s my philosophy going forward, and on game day I want to call the defense and manage the game. In order to do that I

DeBord said he didn’t know he’d have an opportunity like this when IU named Allen head coach after Kevin Wilson’s resignation but knew he’d make the trip if Allen did. The Muncie, Indiana, native said both he and Allen agree the Hoosiers need to run the ball, score in the red zone and take care of the ball. “I’ve worked for a lot of head coaches,” DeBord said. “I’ve worked for Hall of Fame coaches, and I wanted to work for

A change in venue was requested Thursday for the trial of a former IU ballet teacher accused of sexually assaulting multiple students. Guoping Wang, 54, has pleaded not guilty to charges of sexual battery and criminal confinement. Wang had worked as a dance coach and lecturer with the Jacobs School of Music until he was fired in May. The request for change of venue was rooted in concerns about finding fair jurors, Wang’s attorney, SEE TRIAL, PAGE 6

As January brings a new year and a new semester, it also brings in a busy month for the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Student Support Services. At this time last year, Bloomington received a score of 100 on the Human Rights Campaign’s Municipal Equality Index. This perfect score highlights Bloomington as one of the most LGBT-inclusive cities in the nation in 2015. Doug Bader, the director of the GLBT office, said the month kicks off with an announcement of a name change for the GLBT office. There will be more information Monday after a press release. After this event for the GLBT office, the office will co-sponsor an event with Union Board for Kate Bornstein on Jan. 17. Bornstein is a prominent, long-time trans activist. The GLBT office and Union Board will work together again six

days later to co-sponsor the Legacy Wall with an opening reception. The Legacy Wall is a traveling exhibit that is part of the Legacy Project in Chicago. The project displays monuments for LGBT activists. The Legacy Wall will spend two weeks in the Indiana Memorial Union’s East Lounge. Bauder said the exhibit will give people a chance to reflect on queer peoples’ contributions and on our larger culture. The opening reception at 7 p.m. Jan. 23 in the IMU’s East Lounge will begin the exhibit’s two weeks on campus. To finish the busy month for the GLBT office, the Bloomington PRIDE Film Festival will take place Jan. 26-28. Though the event is put on by Bloomington PRIDE, Bauder said the film festival originally started as a student project about 15 years ago. “It’s really a community event,” he said. “It started with a couple of our students coming to us, but it has expanded to a community

At 4:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 27, the GLBT Alumni Association will be host to an awards ceremony in the Neal-Marshall Center. The ceremony is for distinguished alumni and four students who are receiving the GLBT Spirit Award. According

to the GLBT Office’s website, this award is presented to those who portray the spirit and strength of the GLBT office.

Delegation strengthens overseas relations By Jesse Naranjo jlnaranj@indiana.edu | @jesselnaranjo

While students struggled through dead week last month, a delegation from IU was half way around the world making stops in China and South Korea. IU President Michael McRobbie, the leader of the trip, sought to strengthen ties with alumni in East Asia and create connections with various schools in order to improve options for current IU students, according to a press release from the president’s office. “The success of our alumni in both of these dynamic countries is a testimony to the power of an Indiana University education around the world and is a promise of the future for prospective students,” McRobbie said in the release. McRobbie oversaw the signing of an agreement for joint research between China’s Tsinghua University and IU-Purdue University Indianapolis’ School of Engineering and Technology and met with officials from the Korea Foundation, which contributed to the creation of IU’s Institute for Korean Studies last year. Among other activities the delegation met with the Korea Chapter of the IU Alumni Association, which is one of the most-active internationally of IU’s alumni groups, on its 30th anniversary this year. “Each of our trips, and this was no exception, has served to initiate new and important relationships aimed at providing IU students with added opportunities to study abroad, as well as new research collaborations for our faculty, in one of the most economically, politically and culturally dynamic regions of the

Along with meeting with officials from educational institutions, McRobbie also met with diplomats and government officials in both China and South Korea. This included a meeting with U.S. ambassador to China and former senator Max Baucus. McRobbie and the ambassador discussed study abroad programs in

China and maintaining IU’s presence in East Asia through its Global Gateway Network in Beijing, according to the release. “We are making outstanding progress toward our goal of encouraging more students to study overseas in strategically important countries and achieving greater diversity on our campuses,” McRobbie said in the release.

This was a part of IU’s international engagement mission, which was highlighted before the delegation left as a main motivation for the trip. The agreement signed at Tsinghua University in Beijing pertained to research on energy-efficient vehicles. This linked Tsinghua University’s Department of

Automotive Engineering with IUPUI’s Transportation Active Safety Institute, which has collaborated with other U.S. schools and Tsinghua University in the past. This is McRobbie’s eighth official trip to China and sixth to South Korea during the 10 years he has been IU president. “The warm welcome we receive from our alumni and our academic partners speaks to how highly they regard Indiana University,” McRobbie said.

Adventure is out there for students By Emily Berryman eberryma@indiana.edu

Located on Tenth Street in the basement of Eigenmann Hall and nestled between Starbucks and Campus Card Services is IU Outdoor Adventure. IUOA is a program operated through the Indiana Memorial Union and facilitated by the Union Board, and it plans, leads and equips some trips. IUOA is broken into three departments: courses for credit, custom trips and a gear shop. “There are 25 different courses and roughly 50 class sections,” said Brian Croft, IUOA outdoor programs coordinator. “We will teach you the basics of the skills you will need for the class, no experience required.” Croft explained the classes are designed to get people outdoors regardless of their skill level. However, for students who have experience and wish to do some camping or outdoor recreation of their own, IUOA has a fully stocked rental and retail shop, though a good

majority of its business comes from students looking for water bottles and hammocks. “It is basically the Nalgene and hammock capital of Bloomington,” Croft said. “Students don’t usually have their own sleeping bags, tents and so on. At the shop you can get everything you need to get out on your own.” In addition to the shop, the facilities in Eigenmann include a boat rental and a bouldering wall. There are several ways to get involved with IUOA in addition to taking its classes. “You can train to become a leader,” Croft said. “We are also offering four trips over spring break.” This year the trips are mountaineering in Utah, hiking at Havusa Falls, Arizona, backpacking in the Smokey Mountains and a sampler trip to Chattanooga, Tennessee, for rock climbing, paddling and more. All these trips are planned and led by IU students who have trained to become leaders. IUOA trains leaders to

deal with a lot of situation. As a result, it is a complicated process. “Being a leader has been the most challenging and the most rewarding thing I have ever done,” said Logan Spicer, a fulltrip leader and a senior at IU. Carolyn Goddard, an assistant trip leader and senior at IU, said when she started getting involved with IUOA late in her college career she was looking for something to offset her school work. Goddard explained how IUOA was a break from classes and simultaneously gave her a place to use her outdoor skills and to share them with others. She explained how her classes required her to memorize information without much practical application, “but with IUOA I can apply and share my knowledge. It feels like it actually means something.” Goddard said being a part of IUOA is a great chance for students and teacher to share their passions. She continued to give advice for those interested in IUOA.

“Just taking a class is stressful,” Goddard said. “But the outdoors is an alternate space. You can take a step back and get a little perspective.” Spicer said IUOA was the place he called home. He explained how he could expand his comfort zone and become his best self thanks to the support and passion of the people at IUOA. “IUOA is the perfect environment to cultivate a new passion. You can always find people to help with your interests,” Spicer said. IUOA is where Mitch McCune, a full trip leader and senior at IU, chooses to hang out after classes. McCune’s career path changed to outdoor education after his exposure to IUOA. He learned so much from his experience culturally and socially that it changed his life, he said. “People generally fail to realize how the outdoors make us feel,” Croft said. “If you are stressed, an afternoon hike is not a waste of time. It helps you de-stress.”

A report released Dec. 21 by an IU research center suggested Indiana adjust its teacher evaluation system to focus on supporting and engaging educators to create a stronger school system for the state. Annual teacher evaluations are required in Indiana because of a 2011 law, Senate Enrolled Act 1. The report finds these evaluations led to positive changes in the Indiana school district evaluation plans but there is room for progress in creating and executing high-quality evaluation plans. The report recommends the Indiana General Assembly revise the Senate Enrolled Act 1 by focusing on new teachers, allowing districts flexibility in how they compensate teachers and rewriting the criteria for Teacher Performance Grants. The recommendations were made to implement plans that focus on the development of students rather than their performance. The Indiana Teacher Appraisal and Support System staff reached out to education stakeholders during the 2015-16 school year to determine the successes and

concerns of teacher evaluations to develop more effective teacher evaluation plans. Indiana law requires educators be categorized as highly effective, improvement necessary and ineffective based on objective measures such as test scores. The goal for teacher evaluations is not to remove teachers categorized as ineffective but to provide educators with information that will give them the opportunity to build on their strengths as well as their areas of improvement, INTASS said. Educator evaluations should provide educators with information regarding the best practices and a rationale for improving teacher instructions for the success of both teachers and students, according to the report. The report also recommends improvement of the training and certification of educators, allowing for experienced educators to be evaluated less, permitting raises for educators who need improvement and developing more consistent indicators of student growth for evaluations.

Students offer perspective on IUPD officers By Kelly Evans evanskn@indiana.edu

One of the important concerns of every college campus is safety. At IU there are two entities that work specifically to keep students, staff and faculty safe. They are the IU Police Department and the Bloomington Police Department. As a student, however, it can sometimes be hard to differentiate the two. “I always thought of IUPD as excise cops at tailgates,” senior Courtney Holcomb said. “One of the biggest things as a student is knowing the difference between IUPD and Bloomington PD.” BPD has jurisdiction in the greater radius of the town. It is an area of 20 square miles, according to the department’s website. IUPD, however, works within the smaller circle of campus within BPD’s jurisdiction. IUPD has more than 300 employees across all seven IU campuses. The Bloomington division has more than 40 full-time officers that monitor campus activity and emergencies. “We have certain views of what law enforcement is on IU’s campus, and there’s a discrepancy between the two,” Holcomb said. IUPD responds to calls related to most offenses. Some of the most frequently occurring at IU include theft, burglary, drug use and possession, underage drinking or public intoxication, and sexual assault and harassment. IU started its new Culture of Care initiative in 2012. IUPD plays a role in this program by helping victims of sexual assault understand the legal options open to them after an attack. In addition to officers, IUPD offers a student cadet program through which students interested in the field can train and earn accreditation through the University after hands-on training. This kind of program usually lasts

for a full year and is open to students of any major. “People make IUPD out to be these fearful figures,” Holcomb said. “But after having a friend in the cadet program, I see that they aren’t out to set us up for failure but instead there for our protection and to make sure our education is our top priority.” While IUPD makes student safety a primary concern, students said they are usually reasonable in a variety of situations. “I think they’re pretty

lenient and act like they’ve been through college before,” sophomore Kelly Nelson said. “They know what happens and know when something should be handled legally and when it should be let go.” Junior Edgar Terriquez agrees IUPD generally has fair policies. “IUPD really seems to look after the students’ best interest and not just out to see who they can grab,” Terriquez said. One of the major responsibilities of IUPD comes in

the form of monitoring campus and town-wide social events. Some of the most common include sports season tailgates, homecoming week and Little 500. “Above all I think they definitely look for people that might intrude, not necessarily IU students but people who come from other areas in Indiana and other states who might have bad intentions, especially during big events,” Nelson said. Underclassmen and older students alike agree that

IUPD handle these larger events and bigger crowds with extra attention. “They do a really good job during events at IU and make sure everyone is safe,” Terriquez said. Holcomb, Nelson and Terriquez agree IUPD does a generally good job being both protectors and friends on campus. “After turning 21, you realize that these figures are necessary,” Holcomb said. “Bloomington is a community of 80,000 people. There’s

a lot more going on than we realize.” Some students, however, might appreciate better communication from IUPD, both in the case of an emergency or a threat on campus, to the daily ins and outs of their jobs. “They could possibly improve their communication/ relations with the students around them,” Terriquez said. “They could have more interaction as in what they do on campus or what they are doing.”

Students’ flight canceled after Florida airport shooting By Cody Thompson comthomp@umail.iu.edu @codymichael3

Alyssa Randazzo, accompanied by her brother Tyler Randazzo and her boyfriend Rusty Brost, was finishing her vacation aboard a cruise ship on Friday. It was the group of IU students’ final night before making port on Saturday morning in Fort Lauderdale and flying back to IU for their

second semester classes. That evening, however, they discovered there was a shooting, which took the lives of five people. “Thank God we weren’t in the airport at the time,” Brost said. The IU seniors, Alyssa Randazzo and Brost, used the cruise ship’s computer lab to search for a replacement flight, all of which were booked or cost more than

$1500. With no other options, they decided to rent a car and drive 16 hours back to Bloomington. The group arrived in Indianapolis at 2:15 a.m. Sunday to pick up their car they had left at the airport before returning to Bloomington. They were able to be back to Bloomington in time for their classes on Monday. Had their flight not been canceled, Randazzo said she

would have been nervous to go to the airport following the attack. “But I talked to Rusty,” she said. “And he told me it would be the safest place in the world with the heightened security.” The couple were two of more than 10,000 travelers whose flights were interrupted by the shooting. The shooter’s name was Esteban Santiago. He was able

to check a gun through security in one of his bags. “I just felt angry,” Brost said. “Not even so much at the shooter, but I was watching CNN and saw that he got the gun in through a checked bag. It just blew my mind.” They both said the shooting, and the fact that they were almost present for it, made the attacks they hear about on the news so often feel less distant. “Mostly when things like

this happen, I’m pretty far away,” Randazzo said. “This could happen to anyone, anywhere.” The couple was one day late to the scene of the shooting. They were able to watch events on the news, rather than in person, because of that. “It really got to me because we were so close,” Brost said. “Another 24 hours, and we would have been there.”

NOT HOT TAKES

Vote sex-ed for US Congress in 2017

KATELYN ROWE | IDS

Secretary of State John Kerry speaks on various topics during a lecture in IU Auditorium on Oct. 14, 2015. During the lecture, Kerry spoke about the Iran nuclear deal, the attacks in Israel and the energy crisis.

Speeches from Obama, Kerry hinder Israel-US relations In a final attempt to assert his legacy in the decadeslong Arab-Israeli conflict, President Barack Obama abstained from a United Nations vote condemning Israeli settlements in the West Bank. Though the resolution is nothing spectacular -- George W. Bush abstained from six similar resolutions -the political establishment in both Washington, D.C., and Tel Aviv, Israel, went ballistic. Obama was decried as anti-Israel. Israel withdrew its ambassadors from the countries that supported the resolution, and Presidentelect Donald Trump lashed out at the UN. Republican senators even unveiled a proposal to move the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Seldom mentioned is Obama’s well-documented history as one of the most pro-Israel presidents ever. He recently signed a $38 million

military aid deal for Israel. He allowed Israel to engage in numerous wars in Gaza throughout his presidency. The assertion that Obama has a “vendetta” against Israel, which are the words of Ted Cruz, makes zero sense. Take a look at the times past presidents criticized Israel. George Bush Sr. refused to issue loan guarantees to Israel because of settlement policy. During Ronald Reagan’s administration, numerous UN resolutions condemned Israeli actions in Lebanon and the occupied territories. Obama’s toothless political stunt, along with Secretary of State John Kerry’s blunt speech on Israel , comes at a time when negotiating a peace settlement in Israel and Palestine seems useless. Trump’s arrival to the White House marks the end of any possible two-state

CONVERSATIONS WITH KATE

Universities must focus on disability access Campus accessibility for people with physical disabilities is a widespread issue among universities that must be improved, especially on larger campuses like IU’s. Cracked concrete, narrow lifts and buildings with only one accessible entrance are but a few of the obstacles students with physical disabilities face on the way to class. Winter weather only makes navigating campus more difficult. Accessibility is not by any means a problem distinct to IU. Accessibility for students with physical disabilities is becoming an increasingly hot topic. Activists on Ivy League campuses have been particularly vocal. As student activists point out, the physical setup of a campus should not limit one’s options for post-secondary education. Historically, campuses were not designed to be accessible for people with physical disabilities. The Americans with Disabilities Act, which establishes standards for accessibility, was not passed until 1990. In contrast, IU’s original buildings were constructed in 1820, The centuries of buildings built without accessibility in mind only reinforce historical disparities in education for people with disabilities. A university campus – the University of California, Berkeley – was a site for the start of the disability rights movement in the 1960s. Ed Roberts, who was paralyzed from the neck down as a result of polio, attended Berkeley as a student in 1962 after overcoming discrimination in admission because of his disability. Roberts was among to first to bring up issues of physical accessibility on university

campuses and to advocate for campus living options for the physically disabled. More than 50 years later, the ADA now mandates compliance with accessibility standards, but it still only requires one accessible pathway to and through each building. Sarah Kim, a student at Columbia University, highlighted this issue in her article, “The ugly truth about campus (in) accessibility.” Kim describes how campus can be a “difficult, inaccessible maze” and notes how campus accessibility maps mark elevators and accessible entrances but fail to explain how to access them. The physical barriers on campus are not just a problem for people with permanent physical disabilities but for anyone with a sprained ankle or broken leg. Moving forward, campuses should work toward making long-term improvements in construction. Future building designs should prioritize accessibility, so that buildings not only comply with standards, but maximize access for all. Campus maintenance also needs to focus on accessibility, whether that involves clearing snow from entrances, mending gaps in the sidewalks or performing routine repairs on lifts and automatic doors. Instead of making students with disabilities solve the maze of campus, universities need to work toward dismantling the walls of the maze and eliminating the literal barriers to education present at every turn. kmilvert@indiana.edu

solution, as he seems ready to back Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his right-wing government in every way imaginable. The death of the two-state solution didn’t happen by accident. It stems from Israel’s continued expansion of subsidized settlements on Palestinian land, a policy that has been considered illegal and an obstacle to peace by both the United States and the UN for decades. This was the context in which the UN resolution was passed. Opposition to settlements is a moderate stance, yet on this issue, even the Democratic Party is siding with Trump instead of Obama. Even with yesterday’s terrorist attack in Jerusalem, the U.S. and Israeli governments will continue policies that exacerbate the vicious cycle that violates the human rights of Palestinians and in turn threatens the

security of the Israeli state and its citizens. The proposal to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, per Kerry, would cause a regional explosion. With the ascension of our new Republican government, we can only expect more of the same regarding the ArabIsraeli conflict. The Israeli Defense Force will continue its actions in the West Bank, and with recent efforts by the Israeli defense minister to secure total immunity for IDF forces, Palestinian rights will continue to be a low priority. At this point, only serious public opposition to Israeli policy and support for the Palestinians will change the stance of the U.S. government. What the recent UN resolution lacked was consequences if Israel continued settlements in the West Bank. Real political pressure is needed to facilitate a new effort towards peace.

If you plan to use any key words to discuss the prospect of Planned Parenthood defunding, limit yourself to heads, shoulders, knees and toes. For anti-choice legislators and supporters, this anatomical terminology is fine. But there are some words that are simply inexcusable. In 2012 Rep. Lisa Brown, D-Michigan, was barred from speaking after she used the word “vagina” when testifying against a bill that would result in abortion clinic closings throughout the state, according to NPR. This week the Philly Voice reported that a staffer for United States Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pennsylvania, scolded a Philadelphia woman for using the word “menstruation” when she called to explain the ways Planned Parenthood helps women with all aspects of the reproductive system. Apparently some things shouldn’t be spoken of, even during discussions associated with abortion. Not mentioning words like vagina, menstruation and other shes-who-mustnot-be-named are similar to circumventing medical accuracy that anti-choice lawmakers so often rebuke. State Rep. Dan Flynn, RTexas, coauthored the 2013 Texas abortion law HB2 that would require abortion facilities to adhere to building standards for invasive surgical centers, which the Supreme Court ruled unconstitutional earlier this year. Either Flynn, his coauthors and the bill’s supporters didn’t know abortion is not an invasive surgery or they didn’t bother to find out. Regardless, the bill conflated medical abortion with surgical or aspiration abortion without knowing the true definitions of either. Intentional elusiveness isn’t just for those behind the bills and laws — it’s fun for constituents, too. On Nov. 9, post-election civic engagement in Bloomington began at the Monroe County Courthouse hearing for

Planned Parenthood and All Options Pregnancy Center funding. I went to see the event for myself. The strangest takeaway was during public comment when a young child argued for defunding due to the ways hormones in birth control pills harm fish ecologies in nearby rivers and streams while reading from a script his mother printed out for him. The mother, reported by the IDS as Rhonda Branham, eventually testified about the dangers of abortion. Funding for both was eventually approved. As the U.S. approaches another peak in the debate about reproductive rights, the silence from anti-choice advocates’ lack of medical accuracy on women’s health is deafening. As the dissidence escalates, their focus on the non-issues is becoming harder to ignore. This isn’t just a request for maturity — this is a request for respect. Anti-choice rhetoric has always swerved around the crux of the issue. Anti-choice legislators and advocates of this breed will have to hide their nausea, bridle their displeasure and stop evading the reality of women’s health because they’ll soon have to face the majority of Americans who don’t want to move backward from Roe v. Wade with 69 percent reporting opposition to a complete overturn of the landmark decision, according to Pew Research Center. Women in that camp are sick of the same people instructing them how to live sidestepping the reality of their bodies, lives and dignity. If anti-choice members of Congress continue to insist legislating women’s bodies is fair game, they’ll have to put on their game faces. Maybe it’ll even make them look a bit more like adults. jsbourkl@umail.iu.edu

Syrian war propaganda counters US interests If I learned one thing in 2016, it is that the centralized media of the United States almost always acts to beat the drums of war. Not that this should surprise anyone. Remember Orson Wells’ line, “You provide the prose poems, I’ll provide the war” in ”Citizen Kane,” which mocked the real-life media mogul William Randolph Hearst’s encouragement of the Spanish-American War. What surprised me is the outlandish lengths to which mainstream media of the U.S. went to foment conflict, particularly in the case of the ongoing Syrian conflict and the defeat of U.S.-backed rebels in Aleppo, Syria. I don’t refer to it as the fall of Aleppo because it wasn’t. The U.S. has backed elements of the Syrian rebellion for years, yet the rebels are always portrayed as citizens resisting Bashar al-Assad . Newscasts are titled “What Should the U.S. Do?” as if the U.S., Gulf States and Turkey haven’t contributed to the increasing reach of Islamic militants in parts of

Syria. There have been instances of rebels backed by the CIA fighting other rebels backed by the Pentagon. Consider what the rebels were doing at the end of the Battle of Aleppo. Even Sec. of State John Kerry admitted “elements of the opposition have threatened people who were going to leave [Aleppo] and in some cases prevented humanitarian assistance from being delivered.” When citizens were being evacuated from Aleppo, the rebels torched the charter buses in protest. Who could forget President Obama’s wonderful euphemism “moderate rebels,” which implies some percentage of the opposition is something other than moderate? Let’s look at some of the highlights through the years of the Western media lying or exaggerating the situation in Syria to ramp up public support for the overthrow of Assad. There was the anti-Assad poet and singer who reportedly had his vocal chords cut out by the regime. This was decried in the West.

Well, that poet is still alive. The man who had his throat cut out was killed by the rebels, who then manipulated the event for public relations reasons. There was the gay girl in Damascus, who blogged about Assad’s crackdown on protesters. That story made the rounds in the West. She turned out to be a 40-year-old man living in Scotland. The Syrian Civil Defense, also known as the White Helmets, is a group that allegedly saves citizens from the rubble after Russian air strikes. The group has gotten extensive airtime in the West and even has its own Netflix documentary. However, a former British intelligence officer founded the White Helmets, and it receives millions of dollars from Western governments. There is also the Ghouta chemical attack and Obama’s infamous red line. Obama refused to invade Syria after an alleged Sarin gas attack by the regime on civilians. Thanks to some world-class investigative reporting by

LUCAS ROBINSON is a senior in English and Political Science.

Seymour Hersh, we now know that the Sarin gas attack was likely a falseflag attack carried out by Al-Nusra with the help of Turkish intelligence, done to cause Obama to cross the red line and attack Assad. The Director of National Intelligence told Obama the intelligence on the attack wasn’t a slam dunk, and Obama, likely fearing an Iraq weapons of mass destruction fiasco, refused to enforce the red line. To be frank, the goal of the U.S. in Syria has always been regime change. American officials don’t care about Assad’s human rights violations. They ignore Saudi Arabia’s war in Yemen and the Israeli occupation of the West Bank. To insinuate that Assad is some apolitical exception is nonsense and antithetical to history. luwrobin@umail.iu.edu

Break-ins occur during winter break Items stolen include televisions, money, speakers, game consoles and basketball tickets By Jack Evans jackevan@indiana.edu | @JackHEvans

YULIN YU | IDS

Anna Maidi, president of the Islamic Center of Bloomington, talks at an interfaith event to honor Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy Sunday, Jan. 8, in St. Mark’s United Methodist Church. “God creates us differently on purpose,” Maidi said.

Faith communities remember MLK By Christine Fernando ctfernan@iu.edu | @christinetfern

Donning traditional African dashikis, five people sang “Let your glory fill this place” in succession as they stood in front of a dreamcatcher. To the side, a tree made up of hand prints of children was hung on the wall. On each hand print, a child had scrawled their dream for the future. The song, the dreamcatcher and the handprints were parts of an interfaith commemoration of Martin Luther King Jr., which was put on by St. Mark’s United Methodist Church of Bloomington on Sunday. The event involved religious music, readings and speakers from 15 different faith communities. However, the central part of the service

was the sharing of dreams from faith communities in Bloomington. From each community, a representative stood up to share a dream with the congregation. One of these representatives was Brian Besser, rabbi at Congregation Beth Shalom. To Besser, the sharing of dreams was what formed the theme of the service. “We always have to keep an eye on the world as it could be,” Besser said. “The world that we live in isn’t the world that we want to be, so we always want to keep that vision and that dream for all of our communities.” Mary Beth Morgan, organizer and pastor at St. Mark’s, said this vision for the future is reflective of King’s dream — a dream that was inclusive of all faith traditions. “His life and legacy speaks

across faith traditions, across life experiences,” Morgan said. Morgan said this congregation transcended religion, race, gender and other divides just as King’s own congregation had done during the Civil Rights Movement. This transcendence is what binds a community together, she said. “The more opportunities you have to get to know one another and understand and experience each other’s worlds, the stronger we are as a community and as individuals,” Morgan said. Besser said this kind of strength is vital as we face the political climate and division of the United States. “It’s really important for us to counteract that and show that even if we have these differences, we can come to-

gether in unity,” Besser said. Charlie Nelms, speaker and recipient of the Martin Luther King Jr. Legacy and Drum Major for Service awards, said it is impossible to achieve the dream the congregation and Dr. King envisioned just as individuals. “It is a collective kind of pursuit, and we need to embrace that,” Nelms said. “We need to come together, regardless of religion or gender or race.” In addition to working collectively, Nelms said people must realize they are not powerless. “We really do have the power, but the question is if we’ll all come together and seize that power and use it,” Nelms said. “Only then can this hopelessness and helplessness be replaced by hope.”

City to continue big projects this year By Emily Ernsberger emelerns@indiana.edu | @emilyerns

The Bloomington city council is back to work next week after a holiday break. It will join the rest of the City of Bloomington to continue work on various projects in 2017. Here is what the city council and other local government agencies are expected to work on this year: Comprehensive Plan The city planning commission has been drafting the City of Bloomington 2040 Comprehensive Plan for a few years and has had meetings with the mayor, city council and public to make various changes. The latest draft was published Dec. 9. Scott Robinson, planning services manager for

the Planning and Transportation Department, said the comprehensive plan would ideally be finalized in the first quarter of the year after internal reviews and public feedback. Approval by the city council is the last step for finalizing the plan. The master plan details initiatives and policies, including broadening government transparency, strengthening diversity relations and more. The plan also discusses the image branding of downtown, neighborhood revitalization, affordable housing, land preservation and transportation improvements.

dinance in which government employees and other workers benefiting from local grants and taxes are to be paid an amount that fluctuates every year based on inflation. Last year the wage was $12.32 an hour, and it will increase to $12.44 an hour in 2017. Last November Mayor John Hamilton’s wage growth task force set six initiatives to attempt an increase of wages in the private sector. The initiatives included a stronger branding of Bloomington, promoting early childhood education and funding skills gap training.

Living wage ordinance, other wage plans In 2006, the city implemented a living wage or-

City-wide internet Last month Hamilton signed a letter of intent to develop city-wide broad-

band services. The city partners with Axia, a technological development company. Axia is expected to have completed an engineering analysis by the end of March to build the broadband network, according to a press release from the mayor’s office. The city and Axia want low-cost internet for citizens who may not be able to afford internet otherwise, according to the release. The mayor’s office anticipates residential services to be between $70 and $90 a month and about $300 a month for businesses, but these prices are not set yet. The city anticipates the service will be completed in two years with the first customers using the broadband by the end of the year.

In the past several days, as students have returned to Bloomington from winter break, the Bloomington Police Department has received several reports of burglaries and break-ins in neighborhoods near campus. Police reports typically don’t say whether a complainant was made by a student or not, but in these cases, residents left and returned to their homes on dates coinciding with the three-week holiday, BPD Capt. Steve Kellams said. BPD responded to a call at about 3 p.m. Thursday from the 300 block of East Sixth Street. The caller told police he’d been out of town since Dec. 17 with his roommates and when he returned on Thursday, he found his back door was difficult to unlock, Kellams said. When the resident got inside the house, he found it in disarray. Televisions and other electronics were missing. At the time of the report, the complainant’s roommates had not returned home, so he wasn’t sure if anything else had been taken. He told police he was sure everything, including bedrooms doors with individual locks, had been locked. Kellams said the difficultly the resident had opening the back door may be a sign of forced entry. Officers responded to a 10:47 p.m. call Friday from the 1100 block of North Indiana Avenue. The residents had returned to town Wednesday and found nothing amiss, police said. On Friday the residents found their basement door had been broken into. Small televisions and video game consoles were missing. Several residents in student-populated neighborhoods reported burglaries or break-ins Saturday. A resident of the 400 block of North Grant Street reported he had left town Dec. 17 and returned home Saturday to find someone had entered his home through a side door, Bloomington Police Sgt. Pam Gladish said. Money was missing from the house, and the side door had pry marks on it.

Nearby, on the 200 block of North Grant Street, a resident told police he had left Dec. 16 and returned Saturday with his roommate, Gladish said. They noticed nothing out of the ordinary until they reached the kitchen, where they noticed the cabinets were open. Upon further inspection, the complainant found a Marshall speaker had been stolen from his bedroom. His roommate’s room was missing a safe, which had contained nothing except IU basketball tickets. An officer walking through the house noticed several drawers that had been opened and rummaged through. The break-in did not appear to be forced entry, though the residents told police they were sure all doors had been locked, Gladish said. A resident of the 400 block of East 12th Street returned Saturday after leaving Dec. 17 to find his house’s front room in disarray, Gladish said. Drawers had been thrown open, and a back door had been forced and left open. The only thing the resident noticed missing was a portable speaker, though his roommate had not returned yet. A break-in reported on the 100 block of East 15th Street concerned out-ofplace objects rather than missing ones. Residents renting the house left Dec. 16 and returned Friday, Gladish said. One resident noticed the house’s detached garage, which is used by the homeowner and is not accessible by the renters, had some windows covered by cardboard that had not been there before. The renter contacted the owner, who entered the garage and found several random objects. Late Friday night a man knocked on the door, told the resident he’d been kicked out of his house and been keeping some personal belongings in the detached garage and asked if he could continue to do so, the resident said. The resident asked the homeowner, who declined but gave the man time to remove his belongings. Police do not believe the man had been sleeping in the garage, Gladish said.

Monroe County Public Library offers virtual reality experience “Being able to share this with the public is pretty special.”

By Brooke McAfee bemcafee@indiana.edu @bemcafee24601

As he wore an Oculus Rift headset in the Monroe County Public Library, Mark Russell experienced virtual reality for the first time with a simulation of a roller coaster. The three-dimensional space made the roller coaster’s rapid turns and drops realistic, he said, even though he was sitting in a stationary chair the whole time. While everyone else in the room only saw the roller coaster on a small flat screen, he expressed his disorientation in short exclamations. “What?” he said as the simulation began. “Wow.” It felt like he was actually on the ride and was going to fall off, he said. At Sunday’s Explore Virtual Reality event, people 12 years old and older had the opportunity to play a virtual reality game using an Oculus Rift headset, which is owned by the library. The headset gives people an immersive gaming experience that expands beyond the traditional video game confines of a flat screen. Explore Virtual Reality is a weekly event. The second Sunday of every month is

for all ages, but the event is only available to teenagers on other Sundays. Community engagement librarian Jen Hoffman said the library has an HTC Vive virtual reality headset in addition to the Oculus Rift. Soon the library will have a headset for a PlayStation 4 that can be used in the teen

section. The library alternates between the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive at its different events because the devices track movement differently. The Oculus Rift’s tracking system works in a smaller space, while the HTC Vive works in a more room-scale virtual space.

The systems also have different controllers. The Oculus Touch is a smaller, lighter controller that picks up small movements. The HTC Vive uses a larger and bulkier controller. At Sunday’s event, participants strapped on bulky headsets and held controllers in both hands. They

moved their arms around as they interacted with the virtual, 3-D world. Participants could use the headset for 10 minutes. They could play an action game filled with guns and robots, explore an unfamiliar setting or create threedimensional art. Library volunteers helped keep participants oriented by preventing them from bumping into tables and chairs as they were transported to a virtual setting. Senior information assistant Foster Gesten showed people how to play the virtual reality games at the library event. He is still getting used to the Oculus Rift system, but he hopes the library will continue to improve participants’ virtual reality experience as the library staff becomes more familiar with the system, Gesten said. Hoffman said she likes how virtual reality allows people to explore different environments in an immersive way, whether it is

peering into valleys from a mountaintop or viewing the vastness of space. “It’s a really out-of-body experience,” she said. Participant Lewis Rifkowitz came to the event with his son. His son had been talking about the virtual reality experience for a while but this was the first time Rifkowitz had done it, he said. Rifkowitz chose an art program, which allowed him to draw in the air, creating squiggly lines and scribbles in a three-dimensional space. As an artist, he appreciated the immersive drawing experience, he said. “For me, as an artist, being in the drawing program was like working with wire sculpture,” Rifkowitz said. Virtual reality systems like the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive are emerging technologies that few people have in their homes, due to their expensive cost, Hoffman said. For example, an Oculus Rift bundle including the headset and controls costs $798 and an HTC Vive system costs $799.99 on Amazon. However, these events allow the public to experience virtual reality free of charge. “Being able to share this with the public is pretty special,” Hoffman said.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Of IU’s recent staff changes, only quarterbacks coach Shawn Watson hadn’t met Allen before 2016, and in the year the two have spent with each other Watson said he knows he and Allen have similar views as to what their roles as coaches are. “I’m excited about the direction he’s set for our kids,” Watson said. “I listened to him talk to them during the bowl game, and I know that he’s hitting the right things with them.” That direction, for the offense at least, will revolve around the position Watson, who Allen calls the staff ’s “quarterback professor,” is responsible for. The Hoosiers will cater their offense to what their man under center can do. That player has to know how to manage a game and be efficient, Watson said. In recruiting, he’s looking for someone who can pass the ball and use his legs to get out of trouble. IU’s 2017 roster will return 2016 starter and junior Richard Lagow, who appears to be on track to return in that role next season. Watson’s descriptions of the Hoosiers’ top three quarterbacks — Lagow and freshmen Peyton Ramsey and Austin King — followed that line of thinking. He discussed

When Wang got up to look out the door, the student redressed and walked past Wang to leave. As she left Wang told her not to tell anyone what had happened. The student told her roommate about the incident but didn’t report to the University until March after the spring ballet concluded. Wang continued to work with her and other students until then. When the student reported what had happened to her, the University launched its own investigation into

offensive categories in 2016 it hadn’t in recent campaigns, and Allen’s comments and decisions in the lead up to the bowl game signaled the changes that came in the last week. Spring ball will assist the new coaches in their attempts to build relationships with their players, and while Wang. In the course of the investigation, six others came forward with allegations against Wang. The University waited until it had concluded its investigation — six weeks after the first student made her report — to go to campus police. It cited Title IX policies for the delay, but the policies in no way prohibit the University from immediately contacting law enforcement. Wang was arrested in July. He’s been out of jail on bond since then. Before he came to IU, Wang danced with the Shanghai Ballet Company and Ballet Chicago.

Allen’s role in the offensive vision for IU will be hands-off, that vision boils down to a simple conclusion. “It’s about points,” Allen said. “It’s the same way on defense. You’ve got to keep them out of the end zone and you’ve got to put it in the end zone on offense.”

BOUNCING BACK IU snaps threegame losing streak against Illinois

This time IU punched first. In IU’s last game – a loss to Wisconsin – the Hoosiers were on the wrong end of a 13-0 run by the Badgers to open the game. Against Illinois on Saturday, IU landed a haymaker in the first few minutes of the game. IU started the game on a 15-0 run, which propelled IU to a 96-80 victory in Simon Skojdt Assembly Hall. “We’re happy about our effort and how we came out from the beginning,” junior guard James Blackmon Jr. said. “That’s one thing we have to keep working on. We just have to maintain and build on this game.” That early run was aided by the return of IU’s offense, which had slid back during the recent three-game losing streak. IU regained its early season form, and the Hoosiers’ shooting woes vanished. IU shot 59 percent from the field and a sizzling 52 percent from 3-point range. It was a stark improvement for the Hoosiers because, during their recent three-game losing streak, they shot 32.8 percent from 3-point range. Blackmon and junior guard Robert Johnson had been struggling recently from deep, but

against Illinois those two returned to form. Blackmon had a team-high 25 points and Johnson had 18 points on seven of 11 shooting. Sophomore center Thomas Bryant said when the guards hit their shots more opportunities are opened up down low for him and freshman forward OG Anunoby. “It gives us a big boost out there on the court because when those guys are hitting it opens a lot more stuff up for me, OG, the guys that come off the bench,” Bryant said. “They have to put so much time and effort onto those two, it opens up the floor that much for all of us.” IU’s shooting improved so drastically Saturday because of better ball movement. In the past two games, IU’s offense had become stagnant and lacked the motion that was the hallmark of the offense early on this season. “The game was giving us cutting and movement, and that’s where we’re best anyway,” IU Coach Tom Crean said. “Once we got the ball in the middle, it’s really a matter of reversal. It’s a matter of it touching the paint, whether it’s the post-up or against the zone, especially from the free-throw line.” Crean said they had been

96-80 Breaking down the game, page 8 IU’s defense was as energized as the IU fans during Saturday ‘s game against Illinois emphasizing on not dribbling too much against Illinois. Against Louisville and Wisconsin, IU had a combined 17 assists. The Hoosiers reached that number of assists with more than 12 minutes to play Saturday. For the game, IU had 22 assists. The ball was whizzing around the perimeter the entire game. Even with IU’s improvements on offense, Illinois was able to close to within nine with just longer than five minutes left in the game. However, IU buried Illinois after that point and stretched its lead back to double digits. The victory stems the tide after the losing streak. “It’s really important,” Blackmon said. “Every team we’re going to play from now on in the Big Ten is going to be great. Illinois was a great team. We just got to know that one game is never going to define. Just having a short memory and build on it.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Hoosiers’ defense locks down in first half By Zain Pyarali zpyarali@iu.edu | @ZainPyarali

The IU men’s basketball defense had been lethargic in its past three games. During IU’s three-game losing streak, the Hoosiers allowed nearly 80 points per game while their opponents shot 50 percent from the field. On Saturday, when the Illinois Fighting Illini and their fourthbest scoring offense in the Big Ten came to Bloomington, the Hoosiers had to lock down on defense. They did just that— in the first half at least. The Hoosiers raced out to a 15-0 start, and the Illini didn’t make their first field goal until the 13:23 mark of the first half. The stingy IU defense held Illinois to 29-percent shooting at halftime and held on enough in the second half to snap its three-game losing streak and win 96-80. “In this game we had really good movement, we had good energy defensively, our deflections were up,” IU Coach Tom Crean said. “We had 38 deflections each

the last two games. Today we had 37 at half. That’s the story to me, when it comes to defensively.” For as well as the IU defense played in the first half, it was dismal in the second half. Illinois made its first three field goals after intermission and with less than six minutes to play in the game, the IU lead that was once at 22 points was down to nine points. Illinois ended up shooting 57 percent from the floor in the second half while outscoring the Hoosiers 51-48, but the 15-0 run by the Hoosiers to start the game was enough to keep the lead intact all night. Sophomore forward Thomas Bryant said the Illini weren’t doing anything differently in the second half on offense. They were just making tough shots. Crean had high praise for Illinois Coach John Groce on how his team never went away in the game. “John is doing an excellent job with them, and it’s an excellent example because

nobody goes away in the Big Ten,” Crean said. “Nobody is just going to say, ‘OK it’s over.’ They’re a great example of that. We knew they were gonna keep coming.” A large reason for Illinois’ scoring outburst after halftime was the fact that its best player, senior forward Malcolm Hill, who picked up three fouls within the first four minutes of the game, was back on the floor. Crean said Hill, who averages nearly 19 points per game, was IU’s main focus coming into the game. Even though he had just two points in the first half because of foul trouble, the senior still finished the game with 21. Fouls played a large role as well. The Hoosiers and Illini combined for 49 fouls called in the game. Crean said his guys were a little slow defensively to start the second half because they were worried about fouling. Five Hoosiers ended the game with four or more fouls. “It was just foul calls, you know. You just have to be in

better position,” sophomore forward Thomas Bryant said. “It’s all fine. We just have to work through it. That’s all.” IU still matched its pointsallowed mark in the past three games Saturday against Illinois, but when the defense

can play well for short spurts, the IU offense will be there to complement it. “I’m certainly not saying we played some outstanding game,” Crean said. “We played a really hard aggressive 40 minutes against

a good challenger and a team that wasn’t going to go away, but our guys just continued to stay locked in, and they never lost confidence, and I never saw that head drop, and that’s so important with a young team.”

GOTT TAKES

The Hoosiers bring the Illi-noise to Assembly Hall on Saturday night “Ahhhhhh!” This is the sound of a shout. There are many different types of shouts, such as the there-is-a-clown-inmy-closet screech, or perhaps you prefer the driverin-front-of-you-is-going20-miles-per-hour-underthe-speed-limit yell. One of my favorites is the shriek when you finally realize it is in fact not butter and the container was correct the entire time. IU did some shouting against Illinois Saturday night, and it was junior guard James Blackmon Jr. and sophomore center Thomas Bryant in particular

who made noise. After hitting a three to put IU up 10-0 at the 17:48 mark in the first half, Blackmon pumped his fists and howled toward the rafters in an attempt to exorcise the demons of the past three games for the Hoosiers. Seconds after a drawn charge by junior guard Robert Johnson, Bryant did the same thing at the 16:29 mark. He roared and Assembly Hall joined in his rapturous glee. After trailing 13-0 to start Tuesday’s game against Wisconsin, IU took a 15-0 lead against Illinois on Saturday. The Hoosiers never looked back.

The first four minutes of the game were vital for the Hoosiers. After three consecutive losses, a general malaise could be felt around the program. IU deafeningly broke out of that funk with the most energetic and animated stretch we’ve seen from the team since the North Carolina game. Illinois wore the bright orange jerseys, but IU’s play was much louder. This wasn’t just a matter of making shots. Everything from the passes to the defensive pressure was just crisper and had with it a sense of purpose. “I think it was a mentality thing,” Blackmon said. “We

were talking a lot more. Guys were engaged and helping each other out, and then when we get stops like that we get out and run.” It’s this type of play that makes the 120 minutes of gameplay preceding it so disappointing. When the ball is moving unselfishly, IU should be able to take it to any team in college basketball, especially in the raucous Simon Skojdt Assembly Hall. With a final score of 9680, the Hoosiers stopped the bleeding and provided some momentum heading into the rest of the Big Ten season. A 3-pointer by freshman

guard Devonte Green with just more than a minute left in the first half provided the heralded arena another opportunity to become boisterous. Fans stood and cheered, strength coach Lyonel Anderson waved his arms up and down like a bird in a windstorm, and Bryant strummed an air guitar with the 3-point insignia on both hands. A release valve had been opened. The Hoosiers shouted into the Big Ten void that they still had some life. The second half didn’t go as well. Poor man-toman defense combined with a sudden halt in ball

movement reduced the effect of that spirited first half. This should be Coach Tom Crean’s worry. The current iteration of the Hoosiers has not been a 40-minute team. The ebbs and flows are agonizing. Nonetheless, those first six minutes in the first half signified a small resurgence for a zombified team as of late. A few shots and shouts went a long way for the Hoosiers. gigottfr@indiana.edu @gott31

Student short film chosen for Cannes festival By Sanya Ali siali@indiana.edu | @siali13

Two student filmmakers at IU have earned the honor of being invited to the 2017 Cannes International Film Festival in Cannes, France. TJ Jaeger, an alumnus of the Media School, and Hunter Huddleston, a cinema studies major, received word of their acceptance in the Cannes festival for their film, “Lost Dog,” produced last year for Campus MovieFest. “We freaked out because, honestly, Cannes is the biggest festival in the world,” Jaeger said. Huddleston added that the nature of the festival, that filmmakers must be invited to apply for the festival, made it all the more exciting when they learned they were chosen. “Less than 1 percent of individuals you ever meet in your lifetime have been asked to go because you’re invited to go to the festival. You can’t just say ‘I want to pay money and I’ll go,’” Huddleston said. “It’s a huge honor.” “Lost Dog” is a short film that follows a man putting up fliers for his missing pet, Jaeger said. The concept was simple due to the focus on cinematography and attention to those details for the film. “The reason ‘Lost Dog’ was so successful was because we focused in,” Jaeger said. “A lot of our past projects have been, ‘Oh, we want to do all these things, we want to do a feature-length film, we want to do this.’ When it’s just the two of us plus a handful of good friends helping us as well, it’s really hard.” The total budget was somewhere around $30, which mostly went toward food costs for the friends who helped on the project, Jaeger said. Matt Leetz, an anthropology student, starred as the main actor in the film, and Julius Dolls, composed the score, and both friends

TJ Jaeger and Hunter Huddleston, co-producers under the company Bemused Entertainment, were recently selected to have their film, “Lost Dog,” screened at the Cannes International Film Festival. The two have been producing films together since high school and have won awards for their work at the Crimson Film Festival and IU’s Campus MovieFest.

attended the nation-wide Campus MovieFest finale in Atlanta with the producers. At that branch of the competition, “Lost Dog” was among the top five in the category of cinematography. “We wouldn’t be able to make anything without the loyalty of our friends,” Huddleston said. “They genuinely come through for us, whether it’s acting for free or just helping do lighting and other stuff.” The filmmaking process is largely collaborative, with an emphasis on peer respect, positive thinking and open forum for ideas, Hud-

dleston said. “Obviously we have to have a little bit of creative control, but we are always open to people suggesting things when we’re working,” Jaeger said. “We don’t want someone to be working on our film and just be like, ‘Oh, I just put the lights up, and they told me where to put the lights.’” Jaeger said he and Huddleston have been co-producing films since high school, and Huddleston said the two plan to move to California after his graduation this spring. They are co-producers under the

name Bemused Entertainment, a local production company. “This is honestly something we’ve dreamed about since we were sophomores in high school,” Jaeger said. “The fact that it’s happening now, before he’s done with school and we move out of Bloomington – it’s crazy.” “It’s kind of like that joke when you were a kid saying, ‘Wow, it’d be really cool if we went to Cannes someday,’” Huddleston added. “Now it’s actually a reality, which is crazy.” Honing in on essential skills, such as writing scripts

and feature-length screenplays, has been part of the process that brought the producers to where they are as filmmakers, he said. “A lot of the films we made in the past were just leading up to the films we’ve made in the last few years,” Jaeger said. “We used to make a lot of projects for high school projects when we were first getting our bearings and using iMovie.” One of the major challenges of getting from here to Cannes will be the funding for travel expenses and other amenities while abroad, Jaeger said. Some preliminary plans include appeals for

Ryder screens children’s films at festival By Austin Faulds afaulds@indiana.edu | @a_faulds9615

The Ryder Film Series kick-started 2017 with what Ryder director and founder Peter LoPilato referred to as an opportunity for people, specifically children, to gain a new perspective on foreign cultures. During the weekend, Ryder screened a compilation of 22 short films from 14 different countries. The films were originally screened at the four-week-long New York International Children’s Film Festival. “You certainly have a celebration of diversity,” LoPilato said. The countries represented within the films included France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Czech Republic, Australia, Poland, Brazil, Italy, Russia, Japan, Switzerland, Iran and New Zealand, according to the website. There were also six different films made in the U.S. There were two different programs screened Saturday and Sunday, LoPilato said. The first program was targeted at audiences ages 3 to 7, and the second for ages 8 to 80, according to the website. The Saturday screening took place at the IU Fine Arts Theater, and the Sunday screening was at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater, LoPilato said. There is no difference between the content featured in the Saturday screening and the Sunday screening. This is the sixth

An award-winning poet is giving students a chance to learn from him in a series of online classes. Arthur Vogelsang, editor of “The American Poetry Review” from 1973-2006 and recipient of the Juniper Prize, issued a call to poets to register for the One-onOne Poetry Workshop. The deadline to

For more information, those interested are invited to see Vogelsang’s website, arthurvogelsang.com/events.htm.

As part of this month’s First Friday exhibitions, the I. Fell gallery opened a show titled “Fell + One,” a grouping of local artists’ works that included interactive elements. The art collection included the work of 13 working artist studios across many media, including jewelry, leather work and more, according to a press release by the As Good As Mine collective. One of the local artists showing her work was Amy Burrell, an artist who contributed two distinctive interactive features to this month’s show. One, called “Pendurador,” used a series of 17 hangers on pulley and rope, designed for viewers to hang their coat and allow the mechanism to contort with each new addition. As a collaboration with other artists in As Good As Mine, Burrell also participated in the #YourGoddessIsAsGoodAsMine project, which incorporated store-bought fake flowers in the making of headdresses inspired by eastern Europe, according to the release. Those who visit the exhibit during its run at I. Fell are encouraged to try on the headdresses, created with the idea of empowerment of the feminine. All those using Instagram to post content related to this exhibit were encouraged to use the project’s hashtag. Another artist participating was Rubia Nicole Hagan, whose series of works called “Indulge” played with organic forms and the sense of smell. Hagan’s work, shaped by dried gourds with lotus pods, were covered in layers of resin and paint to resemble blown glass forms. Hagan then added scents to the pods and allowed viewers to smell the pieces, according to the release. The show will continue its run at I. Fell through January.

anniversary of the Ryder Film Series showcasing films from this festival in Bloomington, and LoPilato said the event is always popular with children and their families. He said films the Ryder Film Series screens weekly are typically not children-oriented, so this festival helps to broaden its audience. LoPilato said he believes the timeliness was also in the festival’s favor for the event. Schools were not in session because of winter break, which allowed more people to attend. He said the festival was split into two days in order to attract a larger number of attendees. “If you have young kids, and they’ve been hanging

around your house for two weeks, and you see the opportunity to take them out for a couple of hours and occupy them in a good way, you’re probably going to jump on that,” LoPilato said. Children attending the screenings responded both verbally and physically to the films they saw on-screen. Despite the fact that some of the films in the first program featured foreign languages without subtitles, the inquiries made by the children focused on the films’ plots and characters, not the language barrier. Films featured in the program include “Me ... Jane,” an American animated biopic on primatologist Jane

Goodall; “My Grandfather Was a Cherry Tree,” a Russian animated film depicting a grandfather-grandson relationship; and “Memories of the Sea,” a live-action Brazilian film about a child trying to come to terms with the serious changes occurring within his family. Some of the attendees, including Joanna Woronkowicz, who attended with her son Wallace Ausborn, were big fans of movies. “It was a cool day, and what else do you do on cool days?” Woronkowicz said. Regardless of whether the films are made internationally or domestically, Woronkowicz said she believes it is important to expose oneself

to all kinds of films. “We really appreciate the creativity and art of film,” Woronkowicz said. “That was really my reasoning for bringing him to this program.” Because of the cultural diversity represented within the 22 films, LoPilato said he believes presenting international films to children and families can have a positive effect on the viewers even after the screening is over. “The films in general tend to be a little more challenging not just for younger kids but even for teenagers,” LoPilato said. “They all certainly spark discussion afterwards with their parents, a conversation that will continue outside the movie theater.”

funding and possibly a GoFundMe page. Huddleston and Jaeger said they hope to apply for funding through the Media School to go to Cannes and show both current and prospective students what filmmakers who earn their degrees at IU can accomplish. “We want to represent the Media School,” Jaeger said. “We want people to notice. We want future kids to say, ‘I want to go to IU. I want to be a filmmaker there.’ We want to show people that you don’t have to go to New York, you don’t have to go to LA to go to film school.”

register is Jan. 23, and poets at all levels are invited to apply, according to the press release. The poems do not have to follow a specific style or deal with a particular topic. Vogelsang said the workshops start with an initial critique period. Requirements for participants are the submission of one poem Monday of each week. The poem will be

critiqued by the poet in a 700-750 word email. In the eighth week, students write a conferencestyle letter on the topic of their choosing. Vogelsang will reply to these letters, and from there students are allowed one follow-up response. Admission into the workshop is highly competitive, Vogelsang said in the release. There is no

application fee, but students are required to submit a brief personal note outlining past experience with poetry and publication and three samples of poetic work. If applicants are just beginning to write poetry and have not yet been published, Vogelsang said the personal note can highlight why the student wishes to write poetry and which

FOOTBALL

TRACK AND FIELD

Redding, Oliver declare entry for 2017 NFL Draft rosters, respectively. “To my IU family: I could never be who I am, on and off the field, without your willingness to embrace me as a person,” Redding said. “It’s because of you that I feel genuinely ready for the challenge of the NFL.” Oliver was also an AllBig Ten honorable mention in 2016 and secured the IU school record for most forced fumbles in a career with 12. The junior assisted on 13 takeaways and recorded two interceptions and two fumble recoveries. In 2015, he became the first Hoosier since 2009 to record 100 tackles in a season. “It has been an honor and a privilege to play for and be a part of the Indiana Hoosier family,” Oliver said via Twitter. “I’ve learned that playing college football is most importantly an opportunity to be a part of something bigger than myself. I am ecstatic to continue this opportunity and declare myself eligible for the National Football League.” Both players thanked former IU coach Kevin Wilson and current IU Coach Tom Allen, and both players said Allen supports their decisions. The 2017 NFL Draft will take place Thursday, April 27, through Saturday, April 29.

From IDS reports

IU junior running back Devine Redding and junior linebacker Marcus Oliver announced via Twitter on Friday afternoon they will forego their senior seasons in Bloomington to enter the 2017 NFL Draft. “After submitting my paperwork to the NFL College Advisory Committee — and after a lot of thought and prayer — I have decided that now is the time for me to pursue that lifelong dream,” Redding said in a tweet. “I have decided to forego my final year of eligibility and will declare for the NFL Draft.” Redding was All-Big Ten honorable mention in 2016 and became the fourth Hoosier in program history to rush for 1,000 yards in back-to-back seasons. The junior recorded career totals of 2,252 rushing yards and 17 touchdowns. He rushed for a career-high 227 yards in the 2015 Pinstripe Bowl — the current Pinstripe Bowl record. Redding also played behind former Hoosiers Tevin Coleman and Jordan Howard in 2014 and 2015. Coleman and Howard both left after their junior seasons and have found solid spots on the Atlanta Falcons’ and Chicago Bears’

IU track and field sweeps By Michael Ramirez michrami@umail.iu.edu | @mramirez9

IU track and field started the with a win by sweeping a tough Tennessee squad 71.549.5 on the men’s side and 63-53 on the women’s side. It was the team’s first scored meet of the season and first dual with an opponent. In the 400-meter dash on the women’s side, IU picked up crucial points by sweeping the top three spots. Sophomore Taylor Williams took first and was followed by junior Kendell Wiles and sophomore Riley Egbula. Led by freshman Mallory Mulzer, the Hoosiers also took the top three places in the 800-meter run. The Hoosiers, led by senior Olivia Hippensteel, swept the mile run as well. On the men’s side, IU senior Adrian Mable and freshman William Sessions took first and second in the 60-meter hurdles. The Hoosiers swept the 800-meter run as well, where freshman Cooper Williams led the pack. Sophomore Kyle Mau had a standout performance for IU by leading a clean sweep in both the mile and 3,000-meter run.
