"Devious Licks" TikTok trend costs thousands in damages on campus

By Tory Basile vlbasile@iu.edu | @torybasilee

A TikTok trend may be to blame for an uptick of vandalism in residence halls after students returned to campus this fall.

IU residents have stolen or damaged ceiling tiles, door numbers, bathroom markers and exit signs across several on-campus residence centers in recent weeks, IU Director of Residential Life Sara Ivey Lucas said.

These reports began just after a popular social media trend began circulating around TikTok and Twitter where students steal property from their schools, then announce it as a “devious lick.”

She said she feels the viral internet challenge could be responsible, as schools across the nation have suffered serious damages in the last month.

“I do not believe that our students are immune to TikTok chal-

lenges and ‘devious licks,’” Ivey Lucas said. “I think that also in some ways it becomes an easy scapegoat.”

Ivey Lucas said these damages have caused unforeseen high costs for the university. Costs for broken exit signs have totaled nearly $20,000 across multiple residence halls, she said, because each exit sign costs about $400 to repair, including equipment and maintenance expenses.

“It’s not normal wear and tear,” Ivey Lucas said. “In the first two months that we’ve been back this semester, we have had over 50 exit signs either completely removed and or at least partially damaged.”

Ivey Lucas said this number is comparatively shocking, considering IU saw around 50 exit signs damaged in total between the 2016 and 2020 academic years. She said she’s never seen vandalism to this year’s extent in her tenure at IU. Ivey Lucas said she has a few theories as to why there’s been a

stark increase in vandalism. She said she thinks the time students spent stuck at home during the COVID-19 pandemic led to students developing pent-up energy.

If the students involved are not identified by a certain date, Ivey Lucas said Residence Programs Services will evenly distribute fines to all residents living in either the hall or the specific floor affected.

Ivey Lucas said RPS is approaching the situation proactively by informing students of potential charges from vandalism now, as opposed to later in the semester.

She said some floors this year have already exceeded $3,000 to $4,000 worth of damages.

Irene Pollard, IU freshman and Read Center resident, said she believes the TikTok trend is 100% responsible for the vandalism on her floor.

A few weeks ago, Pollard said guests on her floor ripped a sign off of the wall, tearing off the drywall to

expose the cement underneath was visible.

After the incident, Pollard said her RA called a floor meeting informing residents they could face legal and financial repercussions if they were involved in a vandalism incident.

RPS also sent an email to those living in residence halls Oct. 4 warning they will begin to charge residents for their repairs if vandalism continues.

IU would involve the Office of Student Conduct, or even the IU Police Department if necessary, depending on the extent of damages and the student’s disciplinary background.

Pollard said she and many other students don’t want to deal with extra fees. She urged students to stop with the trend.

“For you just to take some little thing, that costs money,” Pollard said. “How stupid do you have to be?”

Fentanyl overdose deaths nearly doubled

By Cameron Garber garberc@iu.edu | @garber_cameron

Fentanyl-related overdoses and deaths are rising at an alarming rate in Monroe County, government officials warn.

Accidental overdoses involving fentanyl in Monroe County nearly doubled from 24 to 47 between 2019 and 2020, Monroe County Coroner Joani Stalcup said.

“This year we’re on pace to see that many overdoses if not outdo that

number,” Stalcup said.

Stalcup said overdoses happen across demographic lines. She’s seen overdoses in people as young as 18 and as old as 70, with no discrepancy between gender or race.

Fentanyl is an opioid 50 times more potent than heroin and 100 times more potent than morphine, Drug Enforcement Administration Agent Michael Gannon said. While it can be used in miniscule doses to treat severe pain according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,

Gannon said the danger comes from inexperienced chemists lacing other drugs with lethal doses of fentanyl.

“One pill can kill,” Gannon said. “A lethal dose of fentanyl is 2 milligrams, which is almost nothing. A typical sugar packet has 2 to 4 grams, which is thousands of milligrams.”

Gannon is the DEA assistant special agent in charge of overseeing operations in Central and Southern Indiana, including Indianapolis and Monroe County. The DEA seized over 100,000 fentanyl-laced pills in his ju-

risdiction in 2021, as well as enough kilograms of powdered fentanyl to potentially kill 27 million people.

The rise of fentanyl is not exclusive to Indiana. Gannon said the DEA seized 2.8 million pills nationwide in 2019, which increased to 6.8 million in 2020. More than 9.6 million pills have been seized thus far in 2021, 40% of which contain a lethal dosage of fentanyl, according to Gannon. Both Gannon and the CDC agreed the COSEE FENTANYL, PAGE 4

Accidental overdoses involving fentanyl in Monroe County nearly doubled from 24 to 47 between 2019 and 2020, Monroe County Coroner Joani Stalcup said. She said she has seen overdoses in people from 18 to 70 years old, with no discrepancy between gender or race.

An emergency authorization of a booster dose of Moderna’s and Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 vaccine was recommended by a U.S. Food and Drug Administration panel on Oct. 14 and 15.

If the FDA follows the panel’s recommendation and gives its approval to the booster shots, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will review the decision and issue guidance on whether boosters should be used.

Graham McKeen, IU Assistant Director of Public and Environmental Health, said the only booster that has been approved so far is for the Pfizer vaccine.

McKeen said people who are over age 65, have underlying medical conditions and are at a higher risk of exposure to COVID-19 due to their occupation are eligible for the booster.

“Probably two-thirds of adult Americans are eligible based on either occupation or underlying health conditions,” he said.

McKeen said there is a difference between getting a booster shot and getting a third dose of a vaccine, even though the actual vaccine is the same. Booster shots are used when the effectiveness of the vaccine decreases over time.

The third dose is for people who may not have had an immune response strong enough from the first two doses.

“We call that a third dose because it is not really boosting their immunity because maybe they did not have that much immunity to begin with,” McKeen said. “A booster would be increasing the antibodies that you have in your SEE BOOSTER, PAGE 4

Four suspects arrested for Sunday robbery

By Cameron Garber garberc@iu.edu | @garber_cameron

Four suspects were arrested for their alleged involvement in the armed robbery Sunday morning at the Marathon gas station on East 10th Street.

Allison Edwards, 24, is charged with attempted murder, battery with a deadly weapon and carrying a handgun without a license by a convicted felon. Ceon White, 22, is charged with battery. Chemari Thomas, 20, and Iyanna Donaldson, 23, are also charged with theft.

All four were booked into the Monroe County Jail.

Officers responded to a weapons complaint around 2:15 a.m.

Sunday when a gas station clerk told police the people battered and shot at him before fleeing the store, according to a Bloomington Police Department press release Monday.

Four people entered and refused to leave the gas station as the clerk was closing for the night, according to the release. One woman reportedly opened a bag of chips and began eating them without paying, while another woman took several bags of chips from the store, according to the release. The two women then left to get in their vehicle The clerk got into an argument with the two men who remained, during which one of them kicked him in the back while the other hit the back of his head with a handgun, according to the release. The individual with the gun then shot at the clerk as the pair fled the scene.

A Monroe County Sheriff ’s Office deputy located a vehicle matching the clerk’s description at a gas station near the College Mall, according to the release, and all five occupants of the vehicle were taken in for questioning. Officers found a loaded handgun in the car of the suspects, according to the release.

The armed robbery was reported to the IU community Sunday morning via two IU-Notify alerts.

The first report alerted the IU community about the robbery at 2:25 a.m, telling people to avoid the area. The second report signalled there was no longer a threat at 2:53 a.m.

IU institute receives Indiana state award ing director, said ERI’s work is propelled by IU students’ motivation to confront the climate crisis.

“I’m proud that students are showing communities across the state that we can do this together,” Mincey said.

“Together, utilizing our students in coordination with communities, we’re actually able to take steps to mitigate and adapt to climate change so people and ecosystems can continue thriving.”

Filippelli said receiving the 2021 Governor’s Award for ERI’s work with Indiana communities will boost the institute’s goal to expand its programs across the Midwest.

“This award gives us new opportunities because it provides some legitimacy and recognition that what we’re doing is valued by the state,” Filippelli said. “That was just the first taste of where we plan to go. We’re already dreaming and acting big, and we don’t have plans to stay in Indiana.”

Filippelli said the success of ERI’s work is thanks to its members’ passion to address climate change.

“It’s easy when you’re doing something that you know is right,” Filippelli said. “What better thing to do than to play a part in protecting the environment, protecting Indiana and, frankly, protecting the world?”

IU’s Environmental Resilience Institute received a 2021 Governor’s Award for Environmental Excellence last month for its work in promoting environmental resilience within Indiana communities.

ERI was one of eight recipients of this year’s award from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management.

The institute won in the “environmental outreach/education” category.

ERI launched in 2017 as part of the Prepared for Environmental Change initiative of IU’s Grand Challenges Program. The institute facilitates research on climate impacts, educates the public on environmental change and implements climate action programs across Indiana, ERI executive director Gabriel Filippelli said.

“We are contributing in a positive way to conversations about climate and environment throughout the state of Indiana,” Filippelli said.

“That’s the kind of impact I’m particularly proud of, and I think that is also the impact that the Governor’s Award recognized us for.”

“ERI is a wonderful organization, largely because the team is doing so much valuable work all around Indiana

and around the globe,” Filippelli said.

Filippelli said ERI’s environmental education efforts include a free webinar series of climate training for local governments, a climate change podcast, a toolkit of resources for local officials and the Hoosier Resilience Index. The index supplies governments and residents with information about their vulnerability to climate impacts.

Providing the public with access to such information

empowers them to take action on climate change, Filippelli said.

“I think people see the catastrophe of climate change and they feel kind of powerless to take any action on it, or they don’t understand it,” he said. “It’s really important to understand where Hoosiers are coming from and what information they need to act on climate change so they don’t feel so hopeless.”

ERI also works directly with local communities through its Resilience Cohort

and Indiana Climate Fellows programs, Filippelli said. The Resilience Cohort program partners with local governments to help them measure and develop plans to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.

Filippelli said IU students in the Climate Fellows program, a joint program with Sustain IU, conduct projects like greenhouse gas inventories in communities across Indiana. ERI expects around 50% of Indiana towns and cities to have greenhouse gas in-

ventories recorded by the end of 2022, he said.

Matthew Flaherty, ERI implementation manager, said ERI partners with local governments to develop solutions to manage their climate impacts using information from these inventories.

“We’re really trying to provide communities with assistance from the university to better understand the impacts of climate change they’re seeing in their communities,” he said.

Habitat for Experts, groups recommend changes to IUPD’s crime log policy Humanity breaks ground on project

By Emily Brown emibrow@iu.edu

The IU Police Department has been implementing a policy that does not publish specific locations of sexual assaults in its daily crime log since at least March 2019, IUPD Chief Jill Lees said. This policy leaves some IU students with concerns about how to protect themselves. IUNewsNet first reported the IUPD policy in their Sept. 30 report.

The descriptions given regarding location on the IU Daily Crime Log consist of “all other campus buildings”, “on campus residential” and “all other fraternity/soro.”

“This is not a new policy,” Lees said in an Indiana Daily Student article. “This is something that is very common practice at other universities and municipalities to protect the survivor coming forward to make a report.”

Although this policy has been controversial, Dr. Zoe Peterson, Director of the Kinsey Institute Sexual Assault Research Initiative, said she does not believe knowledge of the location where assaults occur is necessary to protect IU’s campus.

“I think that the policy is an important change to help victims and assist in victims feeling comfortable coming forward,” Peterson said.

“What’s best for the entire IU community is for victims to feel safe and comfortable to report.”

Debra Morrow, executive director of the Middle Way House in Bloomington, shared her concerns about the controversial policy as well.

IU sophomore Aanya Jain, senior Grace Yoder and sophomore Grace Sarrazin stand Oct. 8, 2021, outside the Sample Gates in protest of the IU Police Department policy not to list the location of reported sexual assualts on the crime logs.

Morrow said she could understand the dangers of publishing locations where assaults took place. She speculated if an assault happened one night, and a report went out the next including the location, it could be easy for people to recognize who the victim is. Morrow suggested that IUPD release the assault location information monthly.

“That way, there is at least some accountability to the locations or groups involved.”

“When we keep it hidden and quiet, it’s almost like they are giving permission for this to happen,” Morrow said. “It is possibly protecting the survivors, but there are other solutions that do not result in a complete lack of information.”

A new organization, Hoosiers Against Sexual Assault,

was formed Oct. 3 as a result of the controversial IUPD protocol. Five IU students created the organization: Molly Ross, Grace Sarrazin, Grace Young, Aanya Jain and Samantha Barber.

“We started talking about IUPD’s new policy and it, obviously, was very angering to us,” Sarrazin said. “Hoosiers Against Sexual Assault came to be when we realized the problem is a lot bigger than IUPD’s policy.”

Hoosiers Against Sexual Assault has created a petition to end IUPD’s policy, which now has almost 10,000 signatures, and is currently organizing a protest in support of sexual assault victims everywhere.

“I feel as though with this policy being released, it’s becoming increasingly apparent that sexual assault is becoming a norm on campus,” Sarrazin said. “No

one should feel safe if this is the case.”

This semester alone, there have been nine sexual battery cases and 15 sexual assault cases reported, according to the IUPD crime log.

For comparison, according to the 2021 Annual Security and Fire Safety Report, there were a total of 22 reported sexual assaults in the entirety of 2020.

“I avoid fraternities as much as possible because I know so many who have been put in very uncomfortable and negative situations in frat houses,” Barber said.

“It feels almost like walking on a minefield. You never know when a situation has the possibility for escalation.”

All IU sororities boycotted traditional Saturday fraternity parties Sept. 25 due to an increase in sexual assault reports.

Shelter plans volunteer event Sunday

By Noel Fary njfary@iu.edu

Beacon Inc. is planning a volunteer day at the Friend’s Place Emergency Shelter, located at 919 S. Rogers St, for people experiencing homelessness Sunday to clean and organize the homeless shelter.

Beacon is a Bloomington community organization that aids and empowers those in need throughout the community, according to its website. It runs Friend’s Place, an overnight shelter housing about 40 people per night.

Beacon volunteer coordinator Novella Shuck said it needs as many people as possible for the event. Organizing storage areas, rearranging bedrooms and cleaning throughout the shelter are all tasks Shuck

said needed to be completed. The goal is to maintain a suitable living environment for those who stay overnight, she said.

By volunteering at the event, Shuck said students can not only help those in need but also learn about the community surrounding them.

“Knowing about the various struggles that people in our town go through gives people a more holistic view of what Bloomington is and what Bloomington means,” Shuck said.

Shuck said everyone is stuck in a perspective bubble, and it can be difficult to expose oneself to other people’s experiences. Volunteering is a way of bursting that bubble, she said.

“Coming to the Friend’s Place was the beginning of everything changing for me,”

former Friend’s Place resident Leslie Tate said.

One of the groups participating at the event is MEDLIFE, an IU student organization focused on aiding those struggling with poverty. According to its website, MEDLIFE members volunteer at locations such as Friend’s Place every day.

MEDLIFE volunteer coordinator Mallory Pine said participating in volunteer events at Friend’s Place was eye-opening.

“I feel like we kind of live in a bubble while we’re on campus,” Pine said. “The first time I volunteered, I was shocked with how many people went through the food line because I feel like I had never seen any of that while I’m on campus.”

While MEDLIFE serves local residents struggling with poverty, Pine said it

also strives to help people in other countries. MEDLIFE participates in service trips in the summer and spring break taking students to different countries needing volunteers, she said.

Pine participated in a similar volunteer event at Friend’s Place at the beginning of the semester. The upcoming event is a great starting opportunity for those who have not volunteered before and can offer students an enriching experience, Pine said.

“I think it’s very rewarding to realize I have it so lucky,” Pine said. “When we can make a difference, it’s important to do so.”

Those interested in volunteering can RSVP on the IU Bloomington Event Calendar website or contact Novella Shuck at novella@beaconinc. org.

Habitat for Humanity Monroe County and the Kelley School of Business broke ground on a new construction project Saturday morning at Osage Place in Bloomington. The house is expected to be completed by Spring 2022 and will focus on sustainability.

The collaborated project is the first build after a year-long hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Representatives from Habitat, the Kelley School, and the Whirlpool Corporation heralded the groundbreaking with speeches, after which ceremonial keys to the home were given to the family.

The homeowners, Veronica Marquez-Tecpanecatl and Javier Linares-Arizmendi, symbolically accepted the keys to their home during the post-ceremonial proceedings Saturday at Memorial Stadium during the football game against Michigan State University. MarquezTecpanecatl and LinaresArizmendi are heavily involved in the construction of their home, which will house them and their five children, as part of Habitat for Humanity’s sweat equity requirement. The two of them must each contribute at least 250 hours of labor towards the construction of their house, according to a Kelley School announcement.

“This house will provide us with more space and more privacy,” Linares-Arizmendi said. “Our kids will be able to study better when we’re not packed together so tightly.”

This build is the first in a series of projects Whirlpool plans to facilitate as part of its world tour, which will provide more than $6 million in funding to Habitat projects across the world, according to the Kelley School an-

nouncement.

The two-story, fivebedroom house will be the largest built since Whirlpool began collaborating with Habitat for Humanity. The house is being built with an emphasis on sustainability and will be built to have net-zero energy capability, Wendi Goodlett, Habitat for Humanity Monroe County CEO, said.

“The house will be wired for solar paneling,” Goodlett said. “It will also be fitted with energy-efficient heating and cooling systems.”

Whirlpool began partnering with Habitat for Humanity to build homes in Monroe County in 2010, according to the Kelley School announcement.

Business students make up the bulk of the volunteer force, along with friends and relatives of the family moving in.

“We were amazed by the reception from faculty, students and staff,” former Whirlpool CEO Jeff Fettig, said at the ceremony.

“They’re doing tremendous good for society.”

Over 300 volunteers from the business school have signed up to participate in the build, Shawna MeyerNiederman, associate director of the Kelley Institute for Social Impact, said. She said this turnout is two to three times the turnout of the last project in 2019.

In addition to coordinating volunteers, the Kelley School will also provide drivers and help organize speakers and special events for the builds. Meyer-Niederman said the collaboration is a great learning experience for undergraduate students and represents the intersection of business and community at IU. Interviews with Veronica Marquez-Tecpanecatl and Javier Linares-Arizmendi were conducted in Spanish and translated to English.

STEFAN’S STANCE ON IT

Dave Chappelle is a relic, it’s time to retire him

By Stefan Townes sztownes@iu.edu | @stefant_

Editor’s Note: this piece contains strong language.

Dave Chapelle is a sellout.

His latest stand-up special for Netflix, “The Closer,” is his last one for a while, according to him.

Good, he should spend some more time working on better material.

The comedian is famous in recent times for his numerous controversies, all of which center his penchant to make jokes about the LGBTQ community. For a lot of us Black people though, we knew him as the mind behind the masterful “Chappelle’s Show,” a Comedy Central series that aired from 2003 to 2006. It was one of the few shows that felt built from the ground up to be for Black people, almost exclusively.

Shows like Disney’s “The Proud Family” or Adult Swim’s “The Boondocks” were Black shows, but “Chappelle’s Show” wasn’t a sitcom, it wasn’t expected to follow a narrative. It was a sketch comedy show that did anything it could to get a laugh, and it always would.

With sketches centering around wild scenarios such as a klansman being a blind Black man who thinks he’s white, or a racial draft where representatives of different races decide where racially ambiguous people belong,

Dave Chappelle had created a runaway success. It was then understandable when it made headlines that he decided to cut ties with Comedy Central after only two seasons. He walked away from $50 million and disappeared.

He left the fame and fortune for a quiet life and was the center of many rumors of saying he left for Africa, having been tired of being a minstrel for white audiences who were laughing for wrong reasons. He did indeed go to Africa after suddenly stepping away from an incredibly lucrative deal with Comedy Central, but then settled in a small city in Ohio.

He was largely unseen and unheard of for years, but he then started making more and more appearances. He fully returned to the limelight by the time of Donald Trump’s presidential election, which in many ways had made the race even more of a hot topic than it was. People were excited to see what he’d bring to the conversation.

He’s Dave Chappelle. He knows about race. He’s intelligent and clever and he’ll make a mockery of all the racially charged issues of the day.

His comeback was primarily through a deal with Netflix. Originally, Netflix was in hot water because the comedian didn’t want his titular show on the streaming platform and made it very

publicly known, so Netflix was quick to remove it. Soon after, Netflix and Chappelle had come to an agreement.

He’d have Netflix host his stand-up specials, for a fee of $20 million per show.

His shows were largely seen as a return to form for the comedian, but there was an element not seen before in his work. There was a weird slant toward making jokes about the LGBTQ community, and more generally toward shock humor. The laughs weren’t as smart as the ones in his show, a decade old at this point, but relied much more on the taboo nature of the topics to audience reactions.

Of course, this led some critics to commit the ultimate crime — they said the comedian isn’t funny. Writing for Variety about Chappelle’s first two specials with Netflix, “Deep in the Heart of Texas” and “The Age of Spin,” critic Maureen Ryan puts it simply.

“But some of the jokes about gender and sexuality seem like they were exhumed from a comedy special from the ‘70s or ‘80s,” she said. “No, feminists don’t necessarily have short hair; yes, it’s worth changing your ‘pronoun game’ for trans people because there’s no justifiable reason not to.”

While this would mostly go under the larger popculture radar, his next few

would be the center of many controversies, especially the 2019 special titled “Sticks and Stones.”

By this point, Chappelle leans in hard to the idea of “pushing the envelope” and testing his boundaries in comedy. This manifests in homophobic, transphobic and sexist jokes. But in between the onslaught of offensive — and more importantly, unfunny — bits, he tries to instill a dose of moral clarity by saying he’s just practicing free speech and cancel culture is an awful development around comedy.

Of course, this is coming from a person that is making millions for being offensive on stage. He even compares the usage of the slur “faggot” to be akin to the slur “nigger” and questions why he can only say the latter of the two.

By this point, I’m curious. Where did he go wrong?

Before all this, his jokes pushed the envelope, they touched on things that most would never think of doing, but they weren’t this offensive.

I went back to “Chappelle’s Show” and had a great time. Some things didn’t age well, sure, but the show was overall great.

I noticed a distinct lack of Black women and gay people, but their omission felt more like a decided element of the show. Their absence wasn’t out of fear of offending someone, it just felt like

the writers knew that it wasn’t their place to talk about it.

Despite the show bearing his name, Chappelle was only one of many writers. I thought maybe this is just how he is alone without great names like Paul Mooney or Charlie Murphy to help write his material. Maybe his comedy is better suited for the sketch and less for the stage.

I got my answer in his latest special. “The Closer” is supposed to be his last for a while and I dreaded watching it. Before even starting it, I knew it was him at his worst, with bits about siding with the transphobic ramblings of J.K. Rowling, the author of the “Harry Potter” book series.

He made tons of headlines before I even pressed play.

This latest special of his is full of the low-brow, offensive humor which defines lesser comedians. He opens with a joke about Magic Johnson having AIDS and an antisemetic joke that implies Jews are secret rulers of the world, a known alt-right belief. He, of course, follows this up with a paltry “it’s only gonna get worse from here!” For all his faults, he’s not a liar.

He then defends rapper DaBaby, pointing out how quick and vitrolic the response to his anti-gay tirade was, but the same response wasn’t there when the rapper had shot and murdered someone.

Chappelle puts his feelings clearly.

“You can shoot and kill a n***a at Walmart but you better not hurt a gay person’s feelings.”

The rest of his show continues to push this false dichotomy, as if we can’t be outraged at multiple things at once. He laments how much success and progress the LGBTQ community is getting while Black people are still struggling against police brutality. He peppers in smart dialogue about how some gay people can still enact oppression in other ways, such as a white gay man calling the cops on a Black straight man. But for every moment of clarity, there’s at least three terrible jokes about a time where he beat up a woman at a bar.

While I was offended, I was also just bored. It wasn’t funny. The joke here, repeatedly, is that he’s a misbehaving child that got caught breaking the rules. He makes jokes about the definition of womanhood and why he

should be allowed to use slurs against the lesbian women and then says “I’m a feminist.” He name drops far greater and smarter minds like Sojourner Truth, as if his rhetoric matches hers. He mentions a late friend of his who was trans and it’s touching, but he’s quick to point out that she’d laugh at his jokes.

For all the emotion in his words, he’s using a dead friend as a shield from criticism.

At one point, he outright says his issue isn’t with gay people, with women or with transgender people — his problem is with white people. And in that moment, it clicks for me.

Chappelle simply can’t fathom that there’s Black people he’s betraying when he makes these jokes. He might mention Stonewall and vaguely allude to “oldschool” gays, but in his mind, LGBTQ is completely separate from Blackness.

His defense to all his criticism is simply that he’s a Black man only offending white folk, but that’s simply not true. His loudest critics are Black, and he’s conveniently ignoring them.

He’s been noticeably silent since the show, only gloating about his success.

Meanwhile, employees at Netflix have staged a protest in response to the new special. The leader of this protest, a pregnant Black woman, was recently fired under suspicion of leaking metrics about the streaming platform.

His material is weak, only carried on by spitefulness and a check. He brags about how he left $50 million and walked away from fame but doesn’t mention that he walked right back for a bigger check to do even worse material.

As credits rolled, laden with images of Chappelle with his comedian friends, there were also pictures of protests and powerful Black leaders, as if Chappelle is the new vanguard.

But he isn’t. He’s old news, upset that he’s not as revered as he once was and clinging to anything that might make headlines.

He’s not leading us to new understandings about race and sexuality, he’s digging his heels into the ground and demanding we stay there with him. We’ve already moved on from him, he just doesn’t realize it yet.

Should museums own stolen cultural artifacts?

By Abriana Herron aoherron@iu.edu | @abri_onyai

Sand-dried Egyptian mummies, human bone replications, pieces of hair plaits and the Rosetta Stone fill display cases in the British Museum. Downstairs in the African exhibit, the Benin Bronzes — a group of decorative plaques and commemorative heads of human figures and animals made of ivory, leather, coral and wood — are on display for people to view.

While astounding to the eye, these artifacts have caused a lot of controversial discussions.

Many believe these relics should be returned to their original owners, while others believe they belong in the display cases of the British Museum.

Visitor Donny Moore said the British Museum was a way to learn more about African history during Black History Month. When he walked through the Egyptian and African exhibitions, the 30-year-old white man felt uncomfortable with seeing such personal items.

“This stuff shouldn’t be here,” he said.

While it is interesting to see these relics with your own eyes, there’s this feeling of intrusion when gazing at these artifacts, especially when learning these relics were obtained due to looting during the colonial period.

The museum is wellknown for its collection of Egyptian artifacts. According to the New Arab, more than 50,000 artifacts are from Egypt, and most of them were acquired when Great

Britain had colonial power over Egypt.

“The most visible legacy of a brutal colonial past showcased by the display of foreign heritage as trophies in a collection,” the article said about the British Museum.

The Benin Bronzes are in the middle of this controversial discussion. Made in the 16th century, the Bronzes were created in the ancient Kingdom of Benin, which was in present-day southern Nigeria. The country of Nigeria has asked the British Museum for the Bronzes back but has yet to receive them.

“There’s this argument of, ‘No, they don’t know how to deal with it’ and that’s racism in itself,” museum visitor Jamie Scheair-Udeh said.

The Bronzes are displayed in museums around the world, including the Metropolitan Museum in New York. However, the British Museum happens to have the largest display of them, with more than 200 pieces in its collection.

According to a New York Times article, Nigeria’s local and national governments and Benin’s royal family are working together to open a museum in Benin City, Nigeria. The museum is planning to open in 2023 and will have at least 300 Benin Bronze Sculptures.

The British Museum acknowledges the history behind the Benin Bronzes, and the history is connected to the trans-Atlantic slave trade.

People look at the Benin Bronze statues Oct. 9, 2021, in the British Muesuem in London. The statues are a group of decorative plaques and commemorative heads that are made of ivory, leather, coral and wood.

statutes while having colonial power over many ports and trading routes along the African coast, including some in Nigeria. Many lives were lost as tribes and kingdoms, like the Benin kingdom, fought

against the British troops to protect themselves, their land and relics.

United Kingdom Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden said the Benin Bronzes “properly reside” in the Brit-

ish Museum in a statement on Sept. 10.

Museum visitor Philip Udeh believes the Bronzes should go on tour to many museums around the world, so people can see African rel-

ics and learn of their historical significance.

“Black people around the world need to see this,” Udeh said. “These are symbols that show us that there’s a lot more before enslavement.”

VID-19 pandemic is responsible for much of the surge in overdoses.

“Every time you take a pill, you’re playing Russian roulette,” Gannon said. “Drugs have no socioeconomic boundaries — they affect everyone.”

Gannon said the illegal flood of fentanyl is manufactured in China and distributed to the United States through Mexican drug cartels. He said he recommends only taking drugs prescribed by a physician and to be wary of street drugs.

Physicians overprescribing painkillers is a major contributor to the opioid crisis, according to a Johns Hopkins School of Medicine study.

The DEA offers numerous educational and service programs to combat the spread of opioids and drugs of all kinds. Gannon said the DEA has partnered up with the 525 Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to drug awareness for teenagers and their families. The DEA has also partnered with Operation Prevention, which provides free online tools for drug prevention for students from grades 3 to 12.

The DEA is also hosting a Take Back Day on Oct. 23, where Americans are allowed to bring in their prescription drugs to any of the event locations and dispose of them anonymously with no questions asked.

Event locations can be found by entering one’s zip code into the Take Back Day website.

body from previous vaccines. It is giving you extra antibody protections.”

Immunocompromised people are eligible to receive a third dose of a Pfizer or Moderna vaccine if they received the second dose at least 28 days ago, McKeen said.

People who are not immunocompromised can build a higher level of immunity in two-dose vaccine series and do not need a third dose. However, they may be eligible for a booster shot at least six months after receiving the initial two doses of the Pfizer vaccine to extend protection, McKeen said.

McKeen said people should ask their doctor if they believe they are eligible for a booster. If a person is vaccinated, he said they should not be too concerned about the chances of infection.

“For most people, if you’re fully vaccinated and you’re young and healthy, like most of our student population, you probably don’t need a booster at this time,” McKeen said. “As long as you’re vaccinated, you have done your part for population health.”

Lana Dbeibo, director of vaccine initiatives in the IU COVID-19 Medical Response Team, said the need for boosters does not mean vaccines don’t work. Vaccines are the best defense against the pandemic, Dbeibo said, but boosters

can help increase protection if vaccines lose effectiveness over time.

Even with vaccines, there is evidence of reduced protection against COVID-19, especially among some people at higher risk for serious infection, IU Chief Health Officer Aaron Carroll said.

“Depending on how you define immunity, there is some evidence that there may be waning immunity in some populations who have received the Pfizer vaccine at the

beginning of vaccination,'' Carroll said. “The FDA and CDC are now recommending that people get additional shots to boost their immunity if they fall into certain groups.”

Eligible students can schedule a booster shot on three of IU’s campuses, the same ones that offer Pfizer vaccines. IU Bloomington’s Student Health Center offers Moderna vaccines, McKeen said, but booster shots are not available yet.

Carroll said IU would consider opening up clinics to distribute booster shots like it has done for the first two doses of the Moderna vaccine and flu shots if the school determined it was necessary for students to get boosters.

“If all of a sudden it was really highly recommended that all of our students get a booster, that would probably be too much for the community to handle,” Carroll said. “We could envision doing it.”

JARED’S JOURNAL

Profit and prejudice: the relation of capitalism to social justice Jared Quigg (he/him) is a sophomore studying journalism and political science.

Capitalism doesn’t care about trans people. Or Black people. Or women. Or the poor.

Earlier this month, Netflix platformed so-called comedian Dave Chappelle’s latest stand-up special, wherein Chappelle makes numerous transphobic jokes. At one point, Chappelle even goes so far to say that he is on “team TERF,” a term which means trans-exclusionary radical feminist.

Despite public outcry, Netflix is going to do nothing. The co-CEO of Netflix Ted Sarandos said in a statement he doesn’t believe content can translate to real world harm. This is both ridiculous and disingenuous.

Netflix should just be honest and admit that it only cares about profits and move on.

Netflix, like any business, only cares about social justice when they can use it to make money. If a movement for social justice becomes popular, businesses will try

to cash in. But what happens when bigotry is popular? The capitalist really has no preference.

Netflix is defending platforming transphobia seemingly because Chappelle’s special is popular, which is good for Netflix financially.

But back in June, Netflix was publicly celebrating Pride month.

Netflix isn’t alone in its political double dealings.

A Popular Information investigation found 25 corporations who celebrated Pride month, including CVS Health and Comcast, also donated massive sums of money to anti-LGBTQ political candidates.

And it’s not just the LGBTQ community who has been used for profit by corporations. Last year, when the Black Lives Matter movement became prominent across the country, companies like Walmart declared its support. But where was it when the movement began? Where was Walmart when Trayvon Martin was killed?

Walmart was the larg-

est private sector employer of Black people in 2020 in the U.S. But this is hardly an accomplishment when the wages these workers earn are considered. Only about half of Walmart employees earn at least a measly $15 an hour. If the wages earned

by Walmart employees reflected growth in productivity, they would be earning at least $24 an hour.

While the Walton family is worth $190 billion from their stake in Walmart, its employees struggle to earn a living. Black lives matter Walmart says but not enough for an equitable wage.

Netflix, CVS, Walmart and any other business you can think of all feign support for social justice movements but show time and time again they don’t actually care at all about the success of those movements.

When it suits them, corporations will support social justice movements. When it doesn’t, they won’t. In June, Netflix celebrates transgender lives. But when Pride month is over, suddenly

Netflix is team TERF. Some capitalist idealogues have openly admitted profits are the only thing that matters to a business.

Economist Milton Friedman infamously wrote the only social responsibility of a business is to increase its profits, and businessmen who believed they had any obligation to social justice were “preaching socialism.”

Other thinkers, such as writer and pseudo-philosopher Ayn Rand, openly opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, believing it to be an infringement on the rights of private business owners.

She believed the free market would naturally purge racism from society. Clearly, that worked out.

Most companies would never admit they agree with Friedman or Rand, but in practice, it is obvious that they do. Companies like Netflix and Walmart would like to have it both ways, cashing in on social justice when it’s safe and backing away when it affects their bottom line. Don’t let them fool you into thinking they

care about the lives of marginalized people.

The relation of the capitalist to social justice is strictly a monetary one.

Capitalists do not care about individuals as people. They

care only about the money in your pocket, and the dollar of the trans person and the transphobe spends just the same. jaquigg@iu.edu

JACOB’S JAWING

It’s time to talk about gambling addiction Jacob Spudich (he/him) is a freshman studying journalism. He is a DJ for the WIUX student radio station, a member of Timmy Global Health and a huge Detroit Tigers fan.

In 2019, Indiana became the 13th state to legalize sports gambling. Since then, the sports gambling industry has generated more than 4 billion dollars in revenue.

Indiana’s $4 billion sports gambling industry is breathtaking. The unspoken issue of gambling addiction affecting young adults in particular raises concerning implications.

An Indiana Problem Gambling Awareness Program at IU study found less than 5% of Indiana residents have a gambling problem. However, Mary Lay, researcher at the Indiana Problem Gambling Awareness Program, said that number can be misleading.

“One of the things about problem gambling disorder is that there’s no drug test, Lay said. There are no tests. We really have to estimate those numbers. You don’t have drunk driving crashes to look at and you don’t have arrests to look at most of the time.”

She said 5% of Indiana’s population is still 180,000 to 200,000 people with a problem.

The National Council on Problem Gambling performed another study that showed the risk of gambling addiction, particularly sports gambling, is higher for young

ILLUSTRATION BY KATY SZPAK

adults.

“College students are more likely to participate in sports betting and in lotteries,” Lay said.

In an interview with the New York Times, Dr. Timothy Fong, director of the Gambling Studies Program at the University of California Los Angeles, said young adults

are more likely to develop a gambling problem. The convenience of online gambling, prior family history of gambling and introduction to gambling at a young age can contribute to one’s likelihood of developing a gambling addiction, he said.

With the growing prevalence of the sports gambling

industry, it is easy to talk about money. But, the even more important mental health issues surrounding gambling addiction are often forgotten.

Gambling addiction is not only widely ignored but also disbelieved by society.

“Money is a taboo thing that we don’t talk about in

the United States,” Lay said.

“You’re not supposed to talk about your money — it’s very hidden. And when you see someone losing their money, you must think, ‘Well, they’re just being dumb,’ that they have a choice and they can just stop.”

Gambling addiction symptoms can be very similar

to others, such as an alcohol or drug addiction, Lay said.

For college students, some symptoms include missing classes, missing work, borrowing money and hiding the amount of money spent.

The issue at hand comes down to a lack of societal awareness. Those who are at risk are not aware they can seek help, she said, but there’s nothing wrong in doing that.

“The lack of awareness is that you can have a problem and that you can seek help for that problem,” Lay said. “It’s just like alcohol or anything else.”

The industry is undoubtedly growing. According to Indiana Gaming Commission’s annual report, the amount of money bet with online sportsbooks has risen 272.5% since being legalized in 2019.

Gambling is intertwined with daily life so much it seems standard. The gambling industry isn’t going away. However, the stigma around gambling addiction should be eradicated, and awareness should be raised instead.

CLEAR CUT

An open letter against “masc” culture expectations Chris Sciortino (he/him) is a junior studying theater and public relations. He is involved with the Queer Student Union and College Democrats.

Gay men have long been placed on a constricting binary: Are we “gay-gay” where everybody knows before they have even meet us? Or are we “straight passing,” suggesting that if we didn’t mention it, nobody would be the wiser?

I’ve always tried to skirt around stereotypes as a survival tactic. It was obvious to 6-yearold me that I was different, and in order to avoid taunting, I had to take up kickball instead of four square and trade my close girl friends for video games with the guys.

These expectations only grew in intensity as I got older.

I came out in my freshman year of high school, hoping to live more authentically and be free of toxic straight-passing, masculine expectations. But as I entered the gay community, especially romantically, I discovered a disturbing regression of acceptance characterized by the idealization of straight-passing, “masc” men.

This culture of segregation based on masculine or feminine behavior within the gay male community creates a disconnecting, negative dynamic in a demographic that should strive for inclusivity.

The terms “masc” and “femme” are very commonly used in the gay community.

ILLUSTRATION BY DONYÁ COLLINS

Masc is frequently used to denote masculine appearance or mannerisms in queer men, while femme denotes feminine appearance or mannerisms.

These terms do have different meanings and may not be preferred labels for some queer people, but we’ll work with the above definitions.

Masculinity is ruthless.

From childhood, men’s expectations to be stoic, assertive, hyper-athletic, women-obsessed and aggressive are brutally enforced. Every man can point to a time in their childhood when

their masculinity was called into question. These instances never disappear and serve as negative reinforcement tools to keep men in a restrictive box.

But for gay men, this effect is amplified, especially within our own community.

The clearest way to observe this is to log on to gay dating apps. From Tinder to Grindr to Scruff, these apps are riddled with names and bios stating “masc for masc” or “no femmes allowed.”

I, like many others, started using dating apps when I first

got to college. It started as an exciting way to connect with my new queer community. But within my first weeks of swiping and messaging, I had multiple people criticize both my masculine and feminine qualities even before meeting me.

This was frustrating. I wasn’t masc enough to fit into the straight community, but I somehow wasn’t masc enough to fit into the queer community either. These caused me to unnecessarily reconsider my social behaviors, analyze my wardrobe and room decoration

and spend hours in the gym trying to attain a “more masc” body type.

I’m definitely not alone. A 2012 survey found that a majority of gay men considered themselves masculine, but they still wished their behavior was more masculine than it currently was.

A study by the University of California, Los Angeles found that men who identify themselves as masc place higher value on masc qualities in partners. The study also suggests that clinging to masculine norms could be a result of societal pressure and

negatively impact one’s mental health.

None of this is to say that more masculine gay men don’t exist. They do, just as much as more feminine gay men. We all exist somewhere in between — nobody is one or the other.

The gay community must do better in accepting and valuing our peers no matter their presented masculine or feminine qualities. We have to detach ourselves from the harmful expectations from toxic masculinity and embrace the spectrum that exists within us all.

There are much greater issues, such as racism and fatphobia, that plague gay social spaces. Though I cannot speak to many of those, I want to also acknowledge the work we must do on all fronts of equality, not just one.

Some might claim that seeking out strictly masc men is just a preference, similar to seeking someone who shares similar interests or lifestyles. People might even think I’m writing this because I wish I was more masculine and resent those who have discarded me. I’ve heard it all, so it won’t shake me.

But I don’t see much in these arguments. The moment you stop loving others who present differently is the moment you turn your back on your community. csciorti@iu.edu

‘The Threepenny Opera’ to satirize capitalism Oct. 28

IU professor Jei Jeeyea Kim unveiled her architecture piece, “LaWaSo Ground,” in late August in Columbus, Indiana.

Kim said she has had a passion for art since she was young and knew she wanted to do something artistic with her life. She said she considered graphic design and fashion design but landed on architecture.

This project was created for Exhibit Columbus, an annual architecture, art and design exploration within the Columbus community.

This year’s exhibit’s theme is “New Middles: From Main Street to Megalopolis, What is the Future of the Middle City?” This theme signifies the Midwest and how cities like Columbus may move in a positive direction to destabilizing assumptions.

Kim said she would rather be called a designer or an architect than an artist.

“Honestly, we don’t consider ourselves as artists,” Kim said. “We were educated and trained as architects and designers. We would rather be called designers.”

Kim said she wanted to focus on the people which Columbus, Indiana, is named after: Christopher Columbus and indigenous peoples.

Kim said she wanted to focus on the middle of these two different cultures. She said she intended to focus on using Indiana limestone as a core material, tying back to colonial cultures and Native Americans from the area.

Kim’s new “LaWaSo Ground” project stands for land, water and soil. Kim said she focused on creating something with the land already there as a usable structure. This piece is built into the existing land, encompassing different patches of grass of different shades of green. Indiana limestone pieces lie arranged into a

Kim said it was important to think about how people in the community will interact with this work.

She said she will continue to explore other conceptual ideas of this project, but her audience is her main focus.

“One of the most important approaches for us to take is user experience,” Kim said.

“The Threepenny Opera,” premiering Oct. 28 at the Ruth N. Halls Theatre, critiques the rise of capitalism against the backdrop of Victorian-era London.

The musical drama uses dark satire to show how capitalism lacks humanity, director Jamie Anderson said.

“I think it’ll be both very fun and funny and entertaining, but also startling,” Anderson said.

“It might bring up some things for folks. I’m fully preparing myself for that, as is our full team.”

Telling the story of a criminal antihero within a dark London underworld, the show will run through Oct. 30 with single tickets priced at $10 for students and $20 for non-students. DJ Gray and Terry LaBolt are responsible for choreography and musical direction respectively.

The second show of IU’s theater department season will explore themes of contradiction in capitalist society, Anderson said.

The contrast is shown through beautiful melodies with brutal lyrics, Anderson said. The piece follows an operatic form at times but returns to a musical theater form at others.

Anderson said many in the cast and crew approach the show through an activist lens, and that discussing the social messaging together has been “oddly healing.”

“This has really given us a foundation to talk about the last year and a half and beyond,” Anderson said.

Playwright Bertolt Brecht hoped to inspire social action pushing for wealth equality when he wrote the piece, Anderson said.

She said he believed the popular theater concept of catharsis — the emotional release the audience experiences when they relate to a tragedy — was a passive experience.

Anderson said in order to inspire action, he set the play outside of the audience’s time period so they could interpret the events on stage logically instead of simply emoting.

“This was his response to that (catharsis), finding a way to set them into motion,” Anderson said.

Need a nap?

Check out these great campus nap locations Words by Alex Hardgrave ahardgra@iu.edu | @a_hardgrave

he days are getting shorter, the weather is getting colder and classes are getting crazy right now. All of this has me feeling constantly sleepy, and you probably feel this way too.

This means that you need to master the art of an on campus nap. Here is a short list of my favorite places to nap.

The Indiana Memorial Union First off, I always go to the South lounge room. It has leather chairs and a fireplace. It’s quiet, but there is good background noise coming from the Starbucks and people walking through the room. The leather chairs are some of the comfiest chairs I’ve found anywhere, and if it’s cold out you can snag a place by the fire for maximum comfort.

Just be sure to set an alarm, because I’ve definitely slept through a class here before.

Campus River It might be getting too cold for this one now, but when the weather is nice, the ambiance of a nap in a hammock by the river is entirely unmatched. It’s quiet and you get the white noise of running water in the background, but you’re also pretty close to most classes from here or at least a bus stop. Then, you can have maximum chill time before a class. Even if you don’t have a hammock, you could bring some blankets to lay on. As it gets cold, I recommend bundling up with one so you can admire the fall colors while you’re relaxing.

Herman B Wells Library This one may be out of necessity. You’re at the library, really grinding on your work, but you’ve hit a wall. A 10-minute power nap will be just what you need. I prefer the chairs on the first floor that are low to the ground and don’t have a desk in front of them for these naps. Plus, you can snag one near a window and get a pretty view of campus as you’re falling asleep.

Ballantine Hall You’re bound to have at least one class in this building with an infamous staircase. I know I’m always in need of a nap before or after braving the steps to my class, and the student lounges that are on many levels are perfect for this. I’ve taken a nap in one of the low-to-the-ground red chairs in the lounge on the first floor. It’s usually not full, and the high backs on the red chairs there give you perfect neck support to curl up and sleep.

FOOTBALL

Indiana’s Aaron Steinfeldt driven by family

By Evan Gerike egerike@iu.edu | @evangerike

Aaron Steinfeldt stood on the sidelines as Indiana football warmed up to face the University of Cincinnati.

With a boot on his foot, the freshman tight end watched his teammates jump to an early lead before giving it up and losing 38-24.

He traveled to Iowa for week one, but didn’t appear on the field. He sprained his foot two days later in practice and has missed four games since.

The boot is off just in time for Indiana’s Homecoming game against No. 11 Michigan State, but for the tight end who was a two-time all-state selection while at Bloomington High School North, he doesn’t have to go very far to return home. * * *

Steinfeldt could’ve had his pick of colleges and his pick of sports.

He was a three-sport athlete in high school at Bloomington North — a four-time letter winner in football, a four-time letter winner in baseball. Basketball was his hobby, and he only lettered three times.

His first passion was

baseball. He started on the high school varsity team as a freshman and quickly began earning offers from Division I programs.

“Baseball was my rideor-die sport,” Steinfeldt said.

“My sophomore year I grew to 6’5”, 225 pounds, and I was like ‘Alright, I’m making the switch to football.’”

Steinfeldt began playing football his freshman year of high school. His coach at Bloomington North, Scott Bless, said Steinfeldt’s natural athleticism allowed him to quickly develop into a talented player.

“He’s a great athlete,” Bless said. “One of the things about football is it doesn’t require a lifetime skillset, it requires athletic ability and hard work and toughness, and he has all of those in spades.”

Bless said Steinfeldt’s catching ability was the first part of the game to develop.

He started playing as a receiver before his size allowed him to improve as a blocker, so his skills fit the tight end position. His hands never went away and were key in his bolstered recruiting profile.

Aaron Steinfeldt began to fall in love with football and his recruiting conversations with college baseball coach-

es pushed him further to the gridiron.

“I just made that natural switch,” Steinfeldt said.

“I turned all my attention to football while also being able to play basketball and baseball for fun with my buddies.”

His senior year, he had the chance to play with his younger brother Aidan Steinfeldt for the first time. Aidan, a tight end who recently received an offer to play football at Indiana, quickly became a student under Aaron.

“As a player, Aaron was a really good mentor, not just to Aidan but to anybody who played that position,” Bless said. “Last year with Aaron as a senior and Aidan as a freshman, we played a lot of two tight end sets and I think Aaron did a great job of coaching him up.”

When Aidan scored his first varsity touchdown last year, Aaron immediately ran on the field to celebrate with him — and got penalized for not having his helmet on.

Aaron mentored his brother on how to play tight end, how to run routes and how to block. Even though Steinfeldt is at college, he’s not far from home, and the brothers regularly text about the game and watch film together.

“They do a real nice job of

engaging each other,” Jesse Steinfeldt, Aaron’s dad, said.

“It hasn’t been a case where Aaron’s overbearing or Aidan doesn’t want to hear it.

Aidan is soaking it all up.”

Jesse was a three-sport athlete himself at Yale University, playing football, basketball and baseball while earning his degree. After graduating, he signed a professional football contract with the Vålerenga Trolls of Norway and played three sports in Europe at the professional level.

Jesse Steinfeldt came to Indiana in 2007 and began teaching sports psychology, something that helped him when Aaron was making his college decision.

“I tell sports parents, the best thing you can do, even if you have great advice for your kids, is let them come to you and let them ask you,” Jesse Steinfeldt said. “I was able to follow my own advice, and Aaron would approach me.”

As a senior, Steinfeldt’s recruiting hit a wall because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

He had earned offers from Cincinnati, Boise State University and the University of Virginia, but he couldn’t take official visits to the schools.

worked, became even more enticing than it already was.

Steinfeldt chose to stay home in Bloomington.

“I think had he visited all those places, he still would have circled back and chose Indiana,” Jesse Steinfeldt said.

Not only did Indiana offer him a chance to grow in a family-oriented environment under football coach Tom Allen, but baseball coach Jeff Mercer spoke with Steinfeldt about continuing

as a two-sport athlete in college.

Ultimately, Steinfeldt decided to stick to football.

After spending a month on campus, he realized it would be too much work.

“The full college realm, especially with sports, is like night and day from high school,” Steinfeldt said. * * *

WOMEN’S SOCCER

Rennie, Gerstenberg called up to respective national teams

By Kamil Gut kgut@iu.edu | @GutKamil

Indiana women’s soccer announced Monday sophomore forward Gabi Rennie and freshman goalkeeper Jamie Gerstenberg were called up to their respective national teams. Rennie will represent New Zealand’s women’s senior national

soccer team, and Gerstenberg will represent Germany’s U-20 women’s national soccer team.

Rennie represented New Zealand this past summer in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, scoring a goal shortly after being substituted into the match against Australia in a 2-1 loss. The forward has played for the Ferns at

several other levels in her career, earning a bronze medal with the under-17 team at the 2018 FIFA U-17 World Cup and captaining the U-20 team in World Cup qualifiers.

Rennie has played limited minutes this season, making all nine of her appearances off the bench for the Hoosiers without scor-

ing or assisting. She played in all 12 of the Hoosiers’ matches last spring, scoring her first and only goal in a win against Michigan State on March 31 and assisting the game-winning goal in a win against Michigan on March 28.

Gerstenberg has also represented Die Nationalelf at the U-19 and U-17 levels.

She has impressed in her first season with Indiana, matching the program’s season-single individual record for shutouts with nine and leading Indiana to a Big Ten-best eight goals allowed with just two matches remaining in the regular season.

New Zealand is scheduled to play a pair of friend-

lies against Olympic goldmedal winners Canada on Oct. 23 and Oct. 26.

Indiana women’s soccer hasn’t yet announced whether or not Rennie and Gerstenberg’s call-ups will force them to miss the team’s matches against Rutgers on Thursday and Purdue on Sunday to close out the regular season.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8 The Steinfeldts love cooking dinners for Indiana’s tight ends room.

Last week, Steinfeldt’s mom made them pork taquitos and chicken enchiladas with cilantro rice. In the past, she’s made tacos and pasta with meatballs. The Steinfeldts’ house is too far for the players to regularly eat dinner there, but the tight ends often eat together at one of their apartments.

For Aaron Steinfeldt, who

has lived in Bloomington since he was 7 years old, going to college 20 minutes from home means he has a better understanding of the city than his teammates. He also has the chance to eat a home-cooked meal any day, but he tries not to rely on that too much.

“Before I was trying to live at home for the year but living in the dorms, I’ve just experienced different aspects (of college),” Steinfeldt said. “It teaches me skills like discipline. Do I eat out every day, do I stay home and cook? It’s taught me a lot

about being an adult.”

After a rocky 2-3 start to the season for Indiana, the tight ends have bonded even more as a group. Beyond their dinners together, they teach each other more about football.

Steinfeldt has become a mentee to senior Peyton Hendershot and sophomore AJ Barner, and said his football knowledge has expanded rapidly since getting to IU. He’s learned about how to take a quick first step and how to lay down a good block.

“Before I did not know

any of that,” Steinfeldt said.

“I was like a chicken with its head cut off.”

On Oct. 6, Steinfeldt brought the tight ends, including tight ends coach Kevin Wright, to Tri-North Middle School’s football game to support Drew Hipskind, the son of Andy Hipskind, Indiana’s Chief Medical Officer who recently died.

“Here’s nine big time college kids who are just there watching a football game,” Jesse Steinfeldt said. “It was a really neat moment. Coach Wright has done a great job of building that culture in the

tight end room. * * *

Steinfeldt is likely to redshirt his freshman season, but he can play up to four games and still have the redshirt take effect. Michigan State might be the first time he sees action.

Aaron Steinfeldt’s brother will be in the stands for homecoming on an unofficial visit to Indiana, cheering Steinfeldt on while being recruited by Indiana’s coaches.

The rest of his family will be there too, the way they trav-

eled to Iowa and will most assuredly travel to Maryland.

Family matters to Steinfeldt. It’s why the culture at Indiana was so appealing to him during his recruiting, and why he’s taken to Allen’s Love Each Other culture so quickly. It’s why the tight ends choose to eat dinner together and why they visited Tri-North to support the extended Indiana family.

When Indiana takes the field for homecoming, his parents and brother will be in the stands and his new family will be with him on the sidelines.
