The road to
By Sarah Verschoor mmetzman@umail.iu.edu | @melanie_metzman
While students danced to Latin beats at a weekly paso a paso dance workshop upstairs at the La Casa Latino Cultural Center, Willy Palomo, leader of the UndocuHoosier Alliance, was preparing for another meeting downstairs. The group met Monday to update the alliance’s missions for the coming months and semester, Palomo said. This meeting, along with the alliance’s recent work, comes in the wake of Donald Trump’s election and his promises during his campaign to remove President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood program. DACA allows the children of undocumented immigrants work permits. The removal of DACA prevents DACAmented students from working and makes the threat of deportation really eminent, Palomo said. “Undocumented students are not so much in the shadows but in the spotlight for the government,” Palomo said. UndocuHoosier Alliance member Gionni Ponce said, without these jobs, students and other DACAmented people will no longer have money to pay rent, buy food and potentially pay for immigration lawyers. Palomo said past estimates have said there are anywhere from 20 to 35 DACAmented students at IU and more at Ivy Tech schools and elsewhere in the state. However, he said it is hard to come up with a precise number. Palomo and the UndocuHoosier Alliance have begun working on SEE HOOSIERS, PAGE 6

IU earns No. 7 overall seed in NCAA Tournament, looks for its ninth title By Josh Eastern | jeastern@indiana.edu | @JoshEastern
“A
modern dynasty in men’s soccer” was how IU was described when the Hoosiers heard their name called Monday afternoon while gathered at Yogi’s Grill and Bar. For the 30th consecutive season, the IU men’s soccer program finds itself in the NCAA Tournament field of 48. The Hoosiers were given the No. 7 overall seed and will face either the Akron Zips or the Villanova Wildcats in the second
Hoosiers ranked No. 6 in AP Top 25 From IDS reports
IU men’s basketball moved up five spots in the AP Top 25 Poll on Monday to No. 6 in the nation. After defeating then-No. 3 Kansas, 103-99, in overtime last week in Honolulu, IU received one first place vote in the poll while Kansas moved back to No. 7. The Hoosiers are now the topranked team in the Big Ten. Wisconsin stayed put at No. 9 in the polls, and Michigan State moved back one spot to No. 13 after losing to No. 10 Arizona in Hawaii. Purdue also stayed at No. 15 after starting the season 1-0 and Maryland was the lone Big Ten school to drop out of the polls after being ranked No. 25 last week and playing a close game against American University.

Pence, Holcomb talk in Indy By Melanie Metzman mmetzman@umail.iu.edu | @melanie_metzman
INDIANAPOLIS — Vice-president elect Mike Pence sat in the governor’s office Monday morning surrounded by his cabinet, including governor-elect Eric Holcomb. “It’s good to be home,” Pence said. Pence scheduled the cabinet meeting to discuss future plans for Indiana and to work on the transition from the Pence administration to the Holcomb administration. Pence said first and foremost he wanted to welcome Holcomb to the office formally. He pledged to Hoosiers that he would roll up his sleeves and finish his term as governor with full effort. Pence said he wanted to assure Hoosiers that teams were collaborating to make the transition as seamless as possible. “I’m confident Holcomb is going to take Indiana to the next level,” Pence said. On his move to the White House, Pence said he will renew the American dream by revitalizing the economy and rebuilding the military. Holcomb said he was excited Pence’s proven approach will be taken to the nation’s capital and the White House. “We have an enormous opportunity before us for this country to make America great again,” Pence said. Pence said President-elect Donald Trump is grateful for the support of Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, R-Wisconsin, and he will not be serving as a peacemaker between Ryan and Trump. “He is focused on the future of the American people and making American great again,” Pence said. The press was told to leave after Pence and Holcomb made their opening statements because the remainder of the meeting was closed. Holcomb’s cabinet appointments are forthcoming. On choosing cabinet members, Pence said the administration is looking for competent men and women who match Trump’s vision to make America great again. On the national level, Trump SEE PENCE, PAGE 6
IU alumna to lead workshop at Community Arts Awards By Sanya Ali siali@indiana.edu | @siali13
Last year the Ivy Tech John Waldron Arts Center introduced the Community Arts Awards, an opportunity to recognize members of the community who contribute to the arts in Bloomington. This year’s Community Arts Awards will take place at 5:30 p.m. Friday in the Waldron Arts Center and will include workshops in various non-traditional artistic skills, one of which will be a theatrical makeup workshop led by IU alumna Lily Walls. Walls said she began practicing theatrical makeup — specifically wound, gore and specialty makeup — when she was studying theater at IU. Walls graduated in 2015 and has since been working on shows at the Ivy Tech Waldron. “It’ll be really fun for people,” Walls said. “It’ll be like adult face SEE MAKEUP, PAGE 6

IU alumnus talks racism, economic growth By Chris Mura cmura@indiana.edu | @chris__mura
Dr. Narendra Jadhav, an IU alumnus and member of the Parliament of India, said Monday evening that racism in the 19th and 20th centuries was linked in ideals, and the modern economies of both India and the United States could continue to grow by educating previously disenfranchised populations. He spoke as part of the O’Meara lecture series and was introduced by Patrick O’Meara, former vice president for international affairs. O’Meara praised Jadhav’s work and spoke about his early days at IU. “Your journey was to Bloomington, and I was touched because as you embarked on that journey your father wept,” O’Meara said. “But he didn’t weep out of sorrow, he wept because he had gotten everything he wanted, and he said he was ready to die.” Jadhav has written extensively on economic theory and his family’s struggle with being untouchables, or the lowest in the Indian caste system. Jadhav said despite differences in history, the one thing that linked the development of both India and the U.S. was the oppression of parts of their societies: slavery and the caste system, which discriminated against untouchables and aboriginal people. “What the two democracies do have in common is a long history of stigmatization, discrimination and disenfranchisement against a large segment of their own people,” Jadhav said. While American slavery was a social construct, the caste system was religiously motivated, which prompted large groups of people from the lower castes to break away

from Hinduism and convert to Buddhism, Jadhav said. “The caste is the defining factor in determining the course of one’s life,” Jadhav said. “Whether one becomes a scholar or whether one becomes a scavenger depends on his or her caste. How could mere mortals challenge the structure of the god himself?”
He also said systemic discrimination and a lack of education made a difference in the economic growth of major countries and to improve the economy, better race relations are necessary. “The most important factor holding down the future growth of the United States is rising inequality,” Jadhav said. India’s growth, though
currently high and on the rise, was also hampered by its legacy of racism, and India could not grow further if only a small percent of its citizens were allowed access to education instead of being forced into a trade, he said. “The nation had lost. The caste system has done irreparable damage to us,” Jadhav said.
Students knit for pipeline protesters By Laurel Demkovich lfdemkov@indiana.edu @laureldemkovich
While protests continue at Standing Rock Indian Reservation against the North Dakota Pipeline, IU students decided to bring the conflict close to home Sunday afternoon with a knit-in to make winter goods and collect donations for protesters. At the event’s peak, 35 people crowded IU alumna Kate Samson’s home. The event took place for five hours Sunday afternoon and offered attendees tea, snacks, knitting and a chance to discuss Standing Rock and other important issues in the community. IU senior Bradi Heaberlin and a few other students will take the materials created or donated with them when they travel to Standing Rock during Thanksgiving break. “Bradi and I got together and kept asking ourselves, ‘What do we do?’” Samson said. “We reached this conclusion that inaction is the wrong answer, and there are so many right answers.” Samson and Heaberlin decided using crafts to bring people together to help would be the best way to talk about what’s happening. The main goal was to bridge student activism and community building, Heaberlin said. “To tie those two communities together and to make the connection very

salient was the goal of the event,” Heaberlin said. People of all ages and all walks of life showed up at the event, Samson said. She said surprisingly many people who came didn’t know to knit at first, but those who did taught them while engaging in meaningful discussion. The most important part of the event for Samson was planting the seed that staying active in
the community or state or country and staying aware of what’s happening in the world is important. Looking forward, Heaberlin said she plans to work with other organizations on campus who are mobilizing for this cause. Students Against State Violence organized a demonstration at 5 p.m. Tuesday at the Sample Gates to stand in solidarity with the Water Protectors of
Standing Rock. Samson said other ways to get involved in Standing Rock and other important issues in the community is to think about how to use everyday activities, such as knitting, to engage in the community. “Day-to-day actions do matter,” Samson said. “What you engage in does matter. Taking time to engage is important.”
greater growth for both countries, and Jadhav said it was the only way the two economies could make right their histories of oppression. “Inclusive growth, going beyond the caste divide in India and the racial divide in the United States, seems to be the panacea for the growth of both these great countries,” he said.
The IU School of Education’s Center for Research on Learning and Technology received a $1.23 million to fund the use of a video game to allow students in small groups to collaborate on solutions, according to a Thursday press release. The game will help teachers provide adaptable support and will foster collaboration by using big data generated by student group users. The project is titled “Collaborative Research: Big Data From Small Groups: Learning Analytics and Adaptive Support in Game-Based Collaborative Learning.” Cindy Hmelo-Silver, director of the Center for Research on Learning and Technology and the Barbara B. Jacobs chair in education and technology, is directing the project. Her research team will use a video game called “Crystal Island: Ecosystems,” which will teach environmental science to middle school students, according to the release. The students will use the game to work together and find solutions to com-
plex science problems. At the same time, their teachers will support them. The researchers will then use the data to learn how support affects collaboration and learning. Looking at the data will also help researchers see how teachers use data to help improve small-group instruction, according to the release. Hmelo-Silver said in the release they are excited about the potential of the project for use of problembased learning on a larger scale in K-12 classrooms. Their goal is to encourage the creation of solutions to complex problems of varying scope and structure, she added. “This project will bring together game-based learning featuring engaging activities and learning environments that focus on collaborative problem-solving,” Hmelo-Silver said in the release. The grant was given by the National Science Foundation to be used during the next five years. NSF has given several grants to the School of Education this year. Laurel Demkovich

Students continue lobbying for legalization By Nyssa Kruse nakruse@iu.edu | @NyssaKruse
After eight states voted to legalize marijuana in some form last week, leaders involved with the IU student organization againstPROHIBITION said they plan to continue lobbying for the cause in Indiana and other states. “I was really impressed we were able to move forward with legalization,” againstPROHIBITION Vice President Lauren Patin said. “I thought it spoke volumes that we are accepting marijuana for medicine or even recreation.” California, Nevada, Massachusetts and Maine legalized marijuana for all uses, including recreation, on Nov. 8., and Florida, Arkansas, North Dakota and Montana legalized marijuana for medicinal purposes. Indiana had no marijuana-related measures on the ballot last Tuesday, and marijuana is currently illegal for all purposes in the state. AgainstPROHIBITION President Brandon Lavy said he does not see that changing any time soon given the election of Eric Holcomb as governor last week. Holcomb has stated his opposition to marijuana legalization for any purpose.
Patin said againstPROHIBITION, which advocates for changes in drug policy across the board, isn’t giving up on the issue of marijuana legalization in Indiana, though. “We’re still pushing our state representatives to at least let our population vote on the issue,” Patin said. AgainstPROHIBITION, which started at IU last year, is now expanding operations across state lines as it applies for nonprofit status and begins to spread to other campuses. Patin said activism in other states helps further the cause for legalization in Indiana because it provides evidence to show state officials about what legalization and its effects look like. “We’re just going to do the best we can to get more people on board, starting with local representatives, so we can show Holcomb we stand for some sort of legalization,” Patin said. Other plans for the group moving forward include analyzing why Arizona, a state with legal medical marijuana, failed to legalize recreational use. Lavy said this case poses the question of whether incrementally legalizing marijuana — first for medical use, then for recreational use — is useful or if efforts

should be moved to full legalization. Prior to the election, againstPROHIBITION members participated in phone banking through a partnership with the na-
tional organization Students for Sensible Drug Policy, through which they called voters in other states, namely Maine, to advocate for voting for marijuana legalization.
Lavy said the referendum in Maine was narrowly decided possibly by fewer votes than the 5000 calls SSDP made to the state to advocate for legalization. This shows the importance
of activism, Lavy said. “Those efforts really crossed the line for Maine,” Lavy said. “It shows you can’t just sit on your couch and smoke weed. You have to get up and do something.”
Professors challenge idea of career-driven education By Hussain Ather sather@umail.iu.edu | @SHussainAther
People are divided on what college is good for. The Pew Research Center found 47 percent of the public believe the main purpose of a college education is to teach work-related skills, and 39 percent believe college should help students grow intellectually. This survey zones in on a central question in higher education today: should a college education provide direct career preparation, or should it use the liberal arts to expand educational horizons? “There’s a nation-wide discussion. Does college help you get a job with the
assumption that that’s what it ought to do?” Spang said. “It’s a timely issue since the onset of the Great Recession,” history professor Rebecca Spang said. “A lot of people were put out of work, and a lot of people saw the value of their homes drop.” Spang said people have overlooked the assumption that what you study should directly relate to a future career. For example, associate professor of philosophy Sandra Shapshay said studying liberal arts teaches people how to think well and how to think outside the box. She said that type of thinking sets people up for
jobs of the future and teaches them how to pivot. Shapshay said using college to grow intellectually helps students prepare for careers better than a careerfocused approach. Philosophy professor Gary Ebbs said he believes a university shouldn’t impose values on their students. Students should determine the purpose of their education for themselves but would hopefully learn for learning’s sake, Ebbs said. Shapshay said she believes otherwise. “The fact of the mater is when you sign on to do an IU degree, the institution does have to institutionalize you in the sense that you follow certain requirements,”
she said. Though students enjoy freedom in what they want to study and do with their lives, Shapshay said the University should have some power in instituting what students learn. It can institutionalize what all educated people know — including how they value their education, Shapshay said. “For a lot of students, this is the freest time they’ll ever have in their entire lives,” Shapshay said. Through this freedom, Shapshay said students can find answers to questions while still doing what prepares them for future careers. She recalled an experience of one of her previ-
ous students using philosophy in interpreting a tricky ethical dilemma he faced in his career as a journalist. This approach to education teaches students to think deliberately through problems with respect to work, Shapshay said. “Thinking about ethics is valuable in a way that far exceeds just ‘Can I get a job?’ or ‘Can I get a good grade?’ and I’ve had some students tell me this years after they graduate,” Shapshay said. Examining the history of IU, people can understand more about the value of their education. IU began to teach students the classics such as philosophy, Greek and Latin in 1820, Spang said. Elec-
tives only came around 50 years after it was founded, and majors came after that. Spang said universities resisted vocational training in the past. The School of Commerce and Finance, which would become the Kelley School of Business, was not founded in 1920 to give students a shortcut into business or to replace the value of learning for its own sake, Spang said. Giving the students this opportunity, liberal arts truly liberated students, Spang. “That was still in the assumption that it was a liberal arts institution where the point of liberal arts is to liberate the mind from ‘mechanical’ concerns,” Spang said.

Hate crimes surface following US election By Alyson Malinger afmaling@indiana.edu | @aly_mali
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me— and there was no one left to speak for me. This poem by Martin Niemöller, a Protestant pastor who emerged as an outspoken public foe of Adolf Hitler and spent the last seven years of Nazi rule in concentration camps, has seen many variations via social media following the United States presidential election. President-elect Donald Trump campaigned on a platform that called for the deportation of all illegal immigrants, the registration of Muslim citizens, a ban on allowing refugees into the country and policies that would decrease equality between genders. On Nov. 9, when Trump won the presidency, riots took place across the nation, with people from both sides of the political spectrum chanting both “Not my president” and “Make America white again.” Trump’s win brought anger and frustration to his opponents and negative empowerment to his supporters, leaving a country divided. “Nov. 9 plays out as a significant date, and it keeps resurfacing as a significant moment where there is a huge shift in power,” said Vanessa Domizlaff, German teacher at Bloomington High School North. Domizlaff moved from Hamburg to the United States when she was 13 years old and moved to Bloomington when she was pursuing a graduate degree in Germanic studies at IU. Nov. 9, 1938, was Kristallnacht, the night of broken glass, in Nazi Germany, when nearly 100 Jews were murdered and hundreds of Jewish homes and businesses were destroyed and burnt to the ground. Seventy-eight years later, glass shattered on streets in the U.S., and many feared history was repeating itself. In German history, Nov. 9 also is the day Wilhelm II abdicated after World War I and Germany became a
republic in 1918. The Berlin Wall fell Nov. 9, 1989. These events have a shadow upon them because they share the same date as Kristallnacht, Domizlaff said. “What’s making me fearful is this violence that we have been seeing, and now it’s coming into expression,” Domizlaff said. “Mostly because people are gaining bravery, and it is exactly how Kristallnacht came into form. It gave nameless brown shirts the power to bully.” Domizlaff said what is more scary is how this bravery has been ignited from the election. Both ends of the political spectrum have built up anxiety and the retaliation is taking away from the legitimacy of each party. “The anxiety has to go somewhere. It’s dangerous to go against the government,” Domizlaff said. “Because people didn’t vote for the president, people won’t accept political outcomes as valid.” Questioning the government has happened throughout history and is a necessary aspect of representative democracy, Domizlaff said. *

Several hate crimes, including in Bloomington, have been reported across the country since election night. White swastikas and Ku Klux Klan signs were painted on the B-line trail, and one woman reported being verbally abused by a Trump supporter. Jennifer Crossley was leaving work for the night Nov. 9 as she saw something in the road that looked funny to her. As she went to investigate the object, a truck pulled up and revved its engine next to her. A man revealed himself in the vehicle and screamed, “Fuck you, nigger bitch. Trump will deport your ass back to Africa.” “In my years of living in Bloomington, I have never experienced something like that,” Crossley said. “When I got home I couldn’t do anything but cry.” Crossley, married and a mother of three, said she felt shocked, scared and upset, mostly for the future of her family, after the election. “It’s sad that we elected a 3-year-old trapped in the body of a 70-year-old man,” Crossley said. “But I need to be optimistic and just watch the presidency with one eye open.”

Crossley said she felt shamed by the number of her friends that did not vote. She attributed this to the lack of faith in the Electoral College, but she said that isn’t an excuse to not perform their civic duty. “One man cannot dictate how we feel as a nation,” Crossley said. “I just need to look into the best of people.” *

Many people do not fear Trump as much as his most elite supporters and possible cabinet members. Former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke called Trump’s electoral win one of the most exciting nights of his life. He said there is no mistake that his people played a huge role in Trump’s election and this election is a great win for them. Trump recently named Stephen Bannon, right-wing media executive, his chief strategist and senior counselor. This decision met strong opposition from the Anti-Defamation League, the Council on American–Islamic Relations and the Southern Poverty Law Center due to statements from Breitbart News, they argued, were racist and anti-Semitic. Both men are associated with groups that have been linked to hate crimes throughout history. “We do periodically see hate crimes, but I’ve always felt that we had government

that repudiates hate,” Rabbi Sue Silberberg, executive director of IU Hillel, said. Following the election, Silberberg said she received countless messages from people expressing how they no longer feel safe in the U.S. “There was a fear that when George W. Bush came into office there was uncertainty on what direction the country would go in,” Silberberg said. “Even then though, I felt certain on an administrative level that minorities were protected.” Silberberg previously helped start the Bloomington United campaign in 1998 to respond to hundreds of white supremacy flyers that were left on windshields July 4 of that year. Following the distribution of the flyers, Bloomington United had a rally
on the courthouse square that drew hundreds of supporters. After the man who distributed the flyers went on a murderous rampage in 1999, the group then had a community vigil to heal and unite the community in memory of the young Korean student, Won Joon Yun, who was murdered at IU. This drew thousands of supporters, including the then Attorney General of the United States, Janet Reno. Since that incident, Silberberg said nothing that large has touched the Bloomington community. She said is unsure what the future has in store, however. “The difference now is no one protested Kristallnacht,” Silberberg said. “Across the country there is certainly a large group of people protesting this hate.
That at least is a good thing.” One of Domizlaff ’s biggest fears of the past election was the idea of lying press. This term, used in Germany, is resonant as a Nazi term, used to put the media into question, Domizlaff said “It is especially terrible to see this through German eyes,” Domizlaff said. “I hope people don’t understand what they are saying.” The underlying issue in Domizlaff ’s eyes is looking at what did we not listen to and what did we not hear as a society. “Violence either escalates into a burst or eventually just suffocates,” Domizlaff said. “I feel so sad and compassionate for the people that are frustrated, and it’s not about making light of it. You need to speak up instead.”

Monroe County voted Tuesday to keep additional funding in schools for extracurricular activities and funding for staff in schools. Monroe County Community Schools Corporation will receive continued funding after passing a tax referendum last Tuesday. Lynn Coyne, one of the three chairs for the YesforMCCSC referendum campaign, said the current referendum expires Dec. 31. It will go into effect Jan. 1. The referendum will be on the state tax bills, this time at a lower rate of 11.5 cents of $100. The previous rate was 14 cents of $100. He said if it did not pass the school corporation would lose $7.5 million from its budget, lay off teachers and get rid of extra-curricular activities. “The taxes actually went down, and that tax rate will go down moving forward for the next six years,” Coyne said. “That was why it was so important.” He said despite a lack of knowledge about the referendum, one of its greatest challenges during its campaign, the community chose to renew it. He said this was different from the awareness level during the first referendum, when funds were cut rapidly in 2009.
MELANIE METZMAN | IDS
Mayor John Hamilton campaigns for the referendum outside Election Central on Nov. 2.
“That was the crux of our challenge with this particular referendum,” Coyne said. “Everyone was aware at that moment in 2009 that it was a dire situation and action needed to take place.” The Monroe County Community Schools Corporation released a thank-you to community members for renewing the referendum. “On behalf of all our students and staff, thank you, Monroe County Community families and patrons, for continuing the referendum that provides staff members, support and opportunities for students,” the district released in their statement. Sue Wanzer, Monroe County Community Schools Corporation school board member for District 2, said she had been pretty confident the referendum would pass, due to the hundreds of vol-
unteers and leaders running the campaign. She said she believes the community is going in the right direction, with a large majority voting for the renewal. “With 81 percent, that’s amazing,” Wanzer said, “It reaffirms for me that this community does understand the importance of public education.” She said the renewal will allow the district to continue business as usual for the most part, but it will also directly affect the artful learning initiatives at Fairview Elementary School and the science, technology, engineering and mathetmatics program at Grandview Elementary School. She said these programs will get a major boost from the referendum. “I’m expecting those two programs to really de-
velop and attract more students into those schools.” Wanzer said. With the challenge of the referendum passed, Wanzer said the school board is looking ahead now to making sure all students feel safe in their schools post-election. She said the district has done pretty well with an overall comprehensive program and cultural competency, but she also wants to work on public engagement and transparency in the community. “There seems to be so much of an increase in bias incidents and harassment of our marginalized peoples,” Wanzer said. “Things have happened after this election and things we have to deal with right now in our schools so that every kid feels comfortable in their learning environment.”

SHOWALTER’S SHOW AND TELL
How to be an activist
Electoral College must go

Now that Donald Trump won the presidential election without the popular vote, conservatives are scrambling to defend the necessity of the Electoral College. One of their popular approaches has been to use a map displaying the more than 3,000 counties in the United States and the 146 of them that contain half of the total population and say something like, “Big cities shouldn’t speak for the rest of the country.” However, a state’s electoral power is determined by its population, so bigger cities do, in fact, carry more weight in the Electoral College than a variety of small states. Los Angeles County is responsible for one-fourth of California’s population. California has 55 electoral votes, so L.A. County contributes about 14, which is the same power Nebraska, South Dakota, Wyoming, Idaho and Montana have combined. What the Electoral College does, with a winner-take-all system, is allow a miniscule number of voters to shift all of a state’s electoral votes and alter the election outcome. In last week’s election, this is exactly what happened. Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by 638,750, but the Electoral College allowed 107,330 specific votes to rob her of the presidency. Trump won Pennsylvania by 68,236 votes, Wisconsin by 27,257, and Michigan by only 11,837. If Hillary Clinton had been able to generate more Democratic voter turnout and had won these states as every Democrat had since 1992, she would be president. She lost because we have the ridiculous practice of assigning a state’s electoral votes on a winner-take-all basis, which means your vote doesn’t count unless your state votes with you. This method also allows 0.08 percent of the population to sway the election in favor of the candidate who lost the popular vote by more than 0.5 percent. Imagine the reaction if the Electoral College method were employed in the House of Representatives. When a piece of legislation is voted upon, states would vote as unit. The representatives of each state would vote the same way, according to the preference of the majority within their state. I suspect our representatives wouldn’t tolerate such a system. I suspect they wouldn’t even entertain the idea as a hypothetical at a dinner party. So we shouldn’t accept this farce, either. Keep in mind, of the four times a candidate has won the popular vote but lost the election, they’ve been a Democrat. Republicans have never felt the frustration of outperforming their opponent by the most authentic measure of democracy while losing the election because of a system that was designed to protect slave owners. As it turns out, according to professor Akhil Amar, a Sterling professor of law and political science at Yale University, our founders didn’t devise the Electoral College because they didn’t trust the ordinary man to elect the president, as the myth states. The system was devised because, in a direct election, Southerners would have lost because much of their population comprised slaves, who weren’t allowed to vote. The Electoral College allowed Southern states to count slaves in their populations and therefore gave the South more electoral votes. Abolishing the Electoral College would restore the principle of one person, one vote, would encourage a higher voter turnout and would ensure the voices of Americans are heard, regardless of where they live. thshowal@indiana.edu @TherinShowalter

EDITORIAL BOARD
I Want YOU to hit this Will the federal government become best buds with the states? A topic of growing contention is the increase in the number of states with legal and medical marijuana. Voters in California, Nevada and Massachusetts approved the recreational use of marijuana Tuesday. Thus far, eight states have legalized weed. President Obama has frequently punted the ball on this issue. He has not condemned states that oppose federal drug statutes but also refused to take marijuana off federal drug scheduling, which means they still viewmarijuana to be as dangerous as heroin. A Constitutional crisis between state and federal drug laws has been in the works for years, but with cavalier law-and-order president-elect Donald Trump, legalization may now face its greatest challenge yet. Without a doubt, only two scenarios are in the realm of possibility under Trump. First, Trump could order the states with legal weed to suspend and terminate marijuana businesses. This alone would be deeply unpopular
with the public, which has done a complete 180 in its view on marijuana in the past 10 years. If states told Trump to go fly a kite, it is entirely possible that our thin-skinned president could gear up for a massive intervention against legal pot. With drug-war hardliners like Rudy Giuliani and Mike Pence as close advisors, Trump could direct the government to retaliate. Another similar possibility is Trump will leave the decision up to the states and keep in mind a Supreme Court stacked with Trump appointees could find a way to strike down legal weed. In his recent 60 Minutes interview, Trump implied a similar approach regarding abortion rights. Furthermore, if the Pacific states of California, Oregon and Washington unite against Trump’s overreach, the absurd calls for Californian succession, a Calexit so to speak, could deepen ongoing national polarization. Though this is a nightmare scenario for the battle
over legal weed, we should not underestimate Trump’s inherit unorthodoxy. Trump has a Jekyll and Hyde approach to countless issues, so why should weed be any different? Trump should certainly realize the advantages of marijuana legalization, such as increased tax revenue and the diversifying of the weed industry. He is simply too much of a businessman to deny these facts. It also goes without saying Republicans typically disapprove of government interference in economic matters. Trump may face Congressional resistance if he sends the DEA and FBI into California to arrest marijuana executives. However, never doubt the power the alcohol, tobacco and pharmaceutical industries have on Capitol Hill. Such special interests have a public antagonism to legalized pot — probably because areas with legalized weed have seen obvious drops in alcohol and pre-
scription drug addiction. In short, the Editorial Board believes the booming marijuana industry has nothing to worry about for the immediate future. The Trump administration will have its hands full with kicking poor people off government insurance, privatizing Social Security and deporting defenseless immigrants in its beginning months. We can’t imagine that pot-smokers on the West Coast and in Boston are that high on Trump’s priority list. Instead, we want to warn of another, much more impending scenario, which is the corporatization of the marijuana industry. As legal marijuana becomes more popular, fancy executives will try to turn the industry into another greedy entity. We must keep the excitement of this new industry in the hands of local distributors and growers. We don’t know about you, but Monsanto spraying pesticides on acres of weed crops isn’t a pretty picture.
WEEKLY WISDOM
Make Indiana University Great Again You win some, you lose some. Republicans learned this lesson in 2008 and 2012 when President Obama was handed the reins of power. However, it has become apparent that the masses of coddled, participation trophy hoarders on campus have yet to comprehend this themselves. Last Tuesday has led to what is perhaps the biggest public meltdown IU will ever experience. Classes were cancelled, safe spaces were established, tearful rallies occurred — this is not how functional adults deal with disappointment and defeat. This is a disgrace. The last week has made it apparent IU is failing its students in the worst way possible. Faculty members are indulging students in the worst excesses of bourgeois liberalism to the point of self-parody. This cry-bully culture has deeply infected our univer-
sity. It reached its apex last Thursday when Vice Provost Lori Reesor, a public university employee, organized a unity rally for those traumatized by the thought of losing an election. It must be emphasized that this became an official University event when she organized it and used the school’s email list to advertise. Student leaders, many from political clubs, were invited. Apparently, the College Republicans at IU do not fit this bill because they were not invited. The University motto is “Lux et Veritas,” light and truth. Students are exposed to neither Lux nor Veritas when administrators create for them such a bubble, where the universe accommodates their ever-so-fragile mental state. Perhaps if administrators had focused on creating an ideologically diverse culture, one where students’
assumptions and beliefs are rigorously debated, students would have a deeper understanding of differing viewpoints. Instead of recoiling in fear and proclaiming those who voted for Trump are hateful, bigoted, racist, sexist, transphobic and more, they could trace the roots of this Buchanite conservatism and create their own solutions for addressing working class grievances. This, by seeking to comprehend and debate, rather than fear and loathe, is how IU would react if it were faithful to its founding. Students are not the only ones being failed by IU right now. Indiana takes money from hardworking Hoosiers and gives it to IU with the understanding that it will be used to develop the state’s workforce and create better citizens, but this is not happening.

did not shut down because Trump was elected. The economy does not stop so you can process events and get your emotions in line. Imagine if the electrical plant workers or police decided they were too traumatized to show up Nov. 9. These actions by students and employees show the taxpayers’ money is being wasted. The legislature should seriously reconsider this arrangement until serious corrective action is taken by the University. As it stands now, students are completely unprepared for the real world, and the University is actively worsening the situation. We must make IU great again. zaochamb@indiana.edu

Like so many Americans, I believed foolishly that if I tried my best in everyday life and voted for the right people, progress would be inevitable. Clearly, voting straightticket Democrat is no longer enough. In that spirit, I’ve compiled a list of a few tangible ways to promote activism for progressive change in Trump’s United States. First, continue to be active on social media. In the past few years, social media has proved to be a powerful tool for change, education and organization. So, despite what your conservative aunt tells you, continue to voice your opinions via Facebook and Twitter. However, it’s important to remember that social media activism is passive, and under Trump’s vision of the U.S., it will not be a powerful enough tool to effect change on its own. To become more active, consider attending protests. Protests are incredibly important in this political climate. Not only is protesting Trump’s victory an active way to show the rest of the world Americans will not accept bigotry, it’s also a way to show Americans who are directly targeted by Trump’s policies that you are prepared to fight with them and for them. If you have the resources to do so, give to human rights organizations and nonprofits likely to lose funding or support during Trump’s administration. I could write 100,000 words on the number of excellent non-profits attempting to promote a safer and kinder nation, but unfortunately I only have around 500. Keeping this in mind, some nationwide organizations to consider donating to are the American Civil Liberties Union, which works to defend rights and liberties granted to individuals by the Constitution; the Council on American-Islamic Relations, an organization dedicated to securing and defending Muslim civil liberties in America; and Earthjustice, an environmental organization focused on law that works to protect and preserve wildlife as well as to promote clean energy. In addition to supporting organizations monetarily, volunteering is now vitally important. Here in Bloomington, there are hundreds of volunteer opportunities that can be accessed online via the Bloomington Volunteer Network. In the wake of Trump’s particular fascination with disparaging women and the LGBT community, some Bloomington-based nonprofits to consider volunteering at are PRIDE and Prism Youth Community, both of which focus on events and advocacy that improves the lives of LGBT community members at various ages. Many also consider the Middle Way House, a local shelter and advocacy center for women and children who are victims of domestic violence. Both of these organizations also accept donations. Last, but certainly not least, remember to practice self care. It’s a lesson particularly important as we head toward the Thanksgiving holidays, during which many of us will be heading home to families or communities that support Trump. If you get too frustrated or encounter a little too much bigotry this holiday season, remember that most human rights organizations allow you to give monetary donations on behalf of others. Come Christmas morning, don’t forget to ask your grandpa to take off his hood before he reads the card — you’ll want to be able to see the look on his face when he realizes you gave $100 to the NAACP in his name. rjdague@indiana.edu

and protect them from deportation, Palomo said. Palomo and the alliance are currently working with administration to make IU a sanctuary campus. “To a certain extent, it is just symbolic, but it is there to defend the most vulnerable,” Palomo said. Both Palomo and Ponce said creating sanctuary campuses is a trend that is popping up around the country. “There is a movement across nation for campuses to do the same, to not allow immigration onto their cam-
puses, to not allow people to be picked up and shipped out,” Ponce said. Ponce said everyday living will become much harder for DACAmented students and people if DACA is removed. “If DACA is canceled for those people, very simple things such as driving, flying and working become significantly more difficult,” Ponce said. Ponce knows personally the challenges undocumented people face. Ponce said she has family and friends
that are undocumented. “I have many family members and lots of friends across racial lines from different countries,” Ponce said. “It doesn’t just affect Latinos. It affects many people from all over the world. Latinos are the most visible and often the ones anti-immigrant rhetoric is against.” Palomo said he also has a lot of people close to him who are undocumented. While he feels fear for family, he said now is about trying to find the best way to support people you love.

Charlotte is the other seeded team in IU’s region of the bracket as the No. 10 overall seed. Should the Hoosiers advance past the second round, they will host a third-round match. Playing Akron could be interesting for IU senior midfielder Phil Fives. He spent his first two collegiate seasons playing for the Zips. “I’m super excited,” Fives said on the chance to play his former team. “They’re a great program, a lot of good talent there.

name called. Wisconsin, who played Maryland in the Big Ten Tournament championship, was maybe the biggest snub. This surprised Yeagley. “I thought the eyeball test and the quality they had on their team, I think was one that must have been really tight,” Yeagley said. “The part that may have ultimately hurt them was their lack of quality wins against teams in the top 100.” Nonetheless, the Hoosiers got what they wanted.
They get a home game, possibly two, and come in fairly healthy. IU senior midfielder Tanner Thompson sprained his ankle in the Big Ten quarterfinal match against Northwestern but showed no signs of injury in the semifinal and should be good to go for the match Sunday. As for black-and-blue-faced IU sophomore midfielder Trevor Swartz, Yeagley calls him day-to-day. Swartz was injured in the match against Wisconsin on Friday and
missed the remainder of the game after getting stitched up post-shot to the face. Not playing in the first round gives this IU team a chance to rest up before Sunday, as its championship hopes continue. “He’s still being evaluated, but we’re going to remain optimistic,” Yeagley said of Swartz. “This extra rest, not playing Thursday, will also be great for Tanner. Come Sunday, Tanner will be 100 percent.”

worked well together on our campaign and led us to a historic victory. Now I will have them both with me in the White House as we work to make America great again,” Trump said in a press release.

It’s another thing that I see with Halloween and people and their interactions with costume — it’s become kind of like ‘buy it, buy what exists,’ which is great and fun, but people can find a lot of fun in what they can create themselves.” Ivy Tech Dean of Fine Arts and Artistic Director Paul Daily said last year’s event included artists demonstrating their particular focuses, and this year’s theme stemmed from a greater interest in connecting with the attendees. “This year we’re hoping to engage the participants more so that they actually take part in what is happening, the original idea being you can learn a new skill in 15 minutes,” Daily said. “For the hour you’re here, you can walk away with four new skills.” The other workshops will be ceramic tile-glazing with Marcy Neiditz, creative banner-making with Keith Romaine and paper bookmaking with Amy Brier. Walls said she typically does makeup for the shows she designs wardrobe for, because with smaller theaters, all these sorts of jobs are combined for one person to manage. The most recent run of “Sweeney Todd,” an Ivy Tech student production, called more for special effect makeup, though Walls said she often prefers actors without makeup for less thematic shows in smaller venues. “If the show had been a show that didn’t need specialty makeup, I probably would have had them in no makeup,” Walls said. “There’s kind of a tradition of the stage face, which I understand for big houses, but for smaller spaces a bare face can be a lot more interesting.” Songs from the recent production will also be performed during the Community Arts Awards event for those who were unable to see the full stage show.

opportunity to express a character’s traits before they speak lines, Walls said. The look of a particular actor must reflect not only that character’s identity but also their life before the events occurring onstage. This includes wounds, which Walls will be focusing on during her workshop Friday. “Wound makeup can seem very simple, but there’s a real choreography,” Walls said. “If there is a wound in a show, I have to act it out. If there’s a wound that happened previously that has to be specified, I have to sit with the actor and really see how that would play out on their face, what that would look like.” The awards recognize individuals and centers supporting the arts, and recipients are selected by an independent panel outside of the Ivy Tech Waldron, Daily said. The venue serves as a location to celebrate the winners. This year’s individual recipients include Ted Jones, winner of the Arts Advocate award and a former director of technical facilities at the Jacobs School of Music, and Lee Williams, recipient of a Special Citation and Lifetime Achievement award and the man responsible for starting the Lotus World Music and Arts Festival. The awards given to centers include the award for Arts in Business, given to the Monroe Convention Center; the award for Arts in Education, given to Rhino’s Youth Center; and the award for Regional Arts Service, given to the Lawrence County Art Association and the Wiley Art Gallery. “What I always hope that people recognize is the amount of time and effort involved in any artistic venture,” Daily said. “It’s never the result of one artist, that one artist has countless people behind them. Even then, one artist has put in so much time and effort. I want people to walk away keeping in mind that the arts are a community effort.”

SikhsPAC seeks to educate others about the Sikh community throughout the state By Lyndsay Jones | jonesly@indiana.edu | @lyndsayjonesy
G
urinder Singh Khalsa was not surprised. His dark skin, long beard and turbaned head have often been mistaken as symbols of Arabic culture, which is what Ohio members of the Donald Trump campaign assumed when they put a picture of him on a flyer advertising Muslims who support Trump in October. But he is not from the Middle East, nor is he Muslim. He is Indian and practices Sikhism, a monotheistic Indian religion. So when the husband of Khalsa’s friend April Alexander stumbled on Khalsa’s image while reading the Huffington Post, he was alarmed. He showed Alexander, who immediately called Khalsa. “Do you support Trump?” Alexander asked when she reached him. “What happened?” Khalsa asked. Alexander told him about the flyer, about the picture of him that had the word “Muslims” above it and about how it was stuffed in mailboxes in Ohio to advertise the diversity of Trump’s supporters. The mischaracterization stung, as it always did, but it did not shock him. It was simply another misunderstanding in a long line of offenses — intentional or otherwise — that are at best a result of ignorance and at worst culminate in acts of violence. * * * Half a million Sikhs live in the United States. Nearly 10,000 live in Indiana, concentrated mostly in the Fishers, Greenwood, Indianapolis and northwest Indiana regions. They are targets of hate crimes often misdirected at them because of their appearance. Sikh men wear turbans at all times. Many Sikh people do not cut their hair as part of the religion’s requirements, so some men have beards that extend to their chests or beyond. Because many people are unfamiliar with Sikhism this appearance leads some to associate Sikhs with Islam or the Middle East. In the first month after Sept. 11, 2001, a Sikh organization called the Sikh Coalition documented more than 300 cases of violence or discrimination against

Sikh individuals. On Sept. 15, 2001, a Sikh gas station owner was murdered in California by a white man who said he wanted to kill “the ragheads” responsible for the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center. Khalsa was living in California at that time. He’d moved to the United States from India five years earlier in 1996. He said he moved to escape persecution in India, where Sikhs are still a minority. “I feel more respect here than in India,” Khalsa said. Khalsa lived in India during the 1984 anti-Sikh riots. The Indian Army had attacked the Golden Temple — the holiest holy building, or gurdwara, in Sikhism — and in response, India’s then-prime minister, Indira Ghandi, was assassinated by her two Sikh bodyguards. Ghandi had ordered the politically motivated military operation that led to the attack on the temple and on Sikhs in Punjab, India. Khalsa remembers being in sixth grade when the Indian Army attacked the Golden Temple. He cannot speak of watching his Sikh father’s spirit break as they processed how many Sikhs were dying without being moved to tears. “That day was the turning point,” Khalsa said. “It was one of the worst moments for Sikhs. Since then I realized minorities are not safe in India.” The concept of the U.S. and the potential to be treated fairly as an individual intrigued him. “Everyone is equal here under law,” he said. “I wanted that.” Twelve years later, he made it to California. * * * In California Khalsa worked in real estate, finance and business before discovering a new interest —
political activism. Motivated by the murder of the Sikh gas station owner, Khalsa met with California lawmakers to discuss the backlash the Sikh community was experiencing in the wake of Sept. 11, 2001. “It’s very personal for me that the first murder after 9-11 was a Sikh,” Khalsa said. In 2007, a run-in with the Transportation Security Administration furthered his activism. Khalsa said a TSA agent in Buffalo, New York refused to let him board a plane unless he removed his turban for the security line. The demand violated Khalsa’s religion and he refused to fly. He took his experience before Congress where he successfully lobbied for changes to the TSA’s headwear policies. Today, Sikhs may keep their turbans on when they walk through security. Khalsa said he received thousands of emails and phone calls from other Sikhs, some who had been forced to go against their religion and removed the turban so they could fly. “With the right attitude, you can undo anything,” Khalsa said. * * * Khalsa moved his family to Indiana in 2008 after learning the state was better suited for his business interests and the cost of living was more affordable. “It’s better here than in California,” Khalsa said. “People say, ‘Hi, how are you?’” His Fishers home looks just like many other American homes. The lawn is green and manicured. An American flag flies from a flagpole attached to the house. Class pictures of his two children hang on a wall near the entryway. Coasters styled after the U.S. Congressional seal sit on various surfaces in the living room. But his favorite thing is the backyard. “There’s no fences here,” Khalsa said. “In California there were fences everywhere. Nobody wanted to talk to anybody.” Hoosier hospitality has been very real for him, he said. Dr. Amandeep Singh, chief medical officer at Monroe Hospital in Bloomington and a Sikh practitioner, said he agreed. SEE OVERLOOKED, PAGE 10

An untouched Mother Bear’s Pizza box sat on a piano bench in the middle of a classroom in the Music Building Addition on Monday night, but the students and faculty sitting in a circle around it were too deep in thought to eat . The occasion was a Brown Bag Critique, a discussion focusing on the intersection of race and gender with music. Jacobs School of Music professor Joyce McCall organized the weekly discussion last semester in response to some of her students asking her how to tackle these topics in their careers. McCall is a professor of music education and almost two thirds of the room studied the same subject. “As music teachers we’re often told that we have to negotiate the structure,” McCall said. “What if we had the power to influence the structure and change it?” McCall said this semester the discussions are formatted like an open book club, but last semester the group studied academic articles. This time, the group, which comprises five faculty members and about 10 students, discussed a chapter from “White Like Me” by Tim Wise. The chapter described the famed Klu Klux Klan leader David Duke and his
influence on the Republican Party. Much of the conversation focused on the recent Donald Trump win, as this was the first time the group was meeting since Election Day. A faculty member in attendance said he had lived through 12 presidents and one thing his parents had taught him was never to argue politics or religion. He said the current climate is one in which people cannot not talk about it. “I’m most troubled by the fear in my students,” senior Christian Purdy said. Purdy is a music education major who studentteaches at a Bloomington elementary school. He said his students are from diverse backgrounds and many of them reacted negatively to the election’s outcome. When Purdy came into class Wednesday, one of his students was so upset that he did not even want to play music. Purdy said he questions how he can teach children something that requires so much focus when they are so distracted. “I hurt for a lot of my kids a lot of the time,” Purdy said. Other students in similar positions to Purdy said they noticed the children in their schools having a different reaction to the election - they were ecstatic. McCall said a positive effect these discussions have
had is forcing some students to look within themselves and the people around them and tackle issues of race and identity. She said she notices students are starting to recognize these obstacles and warning signs of intolerance and ignorance and respond in their own ways. “Hopefully their own way will become more visible,” McCall said. McCall served in the United States Army and told the room part of the reason she served was so people could have the freedom to protest things they did not agree with. She referenced football player Colin Kaepernick’s protest against the national anthem, which sparked a discussion in the room about the music’s scarred past. There was a part mocking the deaths of slaves in the Star Spangled Banner, which has been removed from the standard rendition. The group tried to tackle how they can address these topics as instructors of music while not showing bias in a classroom that is supposed to be a democracy. Either way, McCall said she hopes students come away from these discussions with a better understanding of the intricacies of the issues at hand. “Social justice is a goal, and we haven’t achieved it yet,” McCall said.

Braving the cold for a Scandinavian adventure of modern culture I got back from a chilly vacation in central Europe, froze for a week in Aix-enProvence, France, because winter decided to suddenly show up, and then, because I’m a masochist, I went to Norway for the weekend. All my stories from my trip to Oslo have the requisite “But it was so cold!” addendum, just in case someone out there isn’t aware that it’s one of the northernmost cities on the continent. Just hours before landing in Oslo, we had boarded our plane in Nice, France, where people were walking on the beaches and palm trees lined the airport tarmac. Stepping off the plane, however, I barely felt the low temperature because I was blindsided by the winter wonderland that lay outside. Cookie-cutter houses painted in primary colors dotted the landscape between the airport and Oslo’s center, and everything was dusted — more like covered — in snow and dripping in ice. On Friday night we made an unplanned Uber detour due to the rather complicated Norwegian spelling of our Airbnb’s address, but we soon ended up in our cozy apartment in Grünerløkka, one of the cities’
trendier neighborhoods. We shopped around in a few of the many Christmas boutiques selling little trinkets and decorations. Because our host told us “Norwegian food is really bad,” we settled for handcrafted pizzas around the corner. Because the local cuisine was apparently out of the question, we set out to try the other essential part of the food culture: beer. Norway goes way back with beer. The Vikings were among the first to make the drink many centuries ago, and today the microbrewery scene is growing quickly. We huddled in a few different cozy basements and bars and enjoyed the bartender’s recommendations until the toll of traveling hit us. The next morning, we started off on a journey to Hovedøya, a small island visible just off the city shoreline, part of the Oslofjord and accessible by ferry. We walked around the tiny island through the Cistercian monastery ruins blanketed in snow and stood on the rocky shore with frighteningly coldlooking water lapping inches away from our frozen toes. Later in the afternoon, we walked over to Thief Is-

land, which, though you would never guess by its name, is Oslo’s art gallery and museum hub. We headed for the Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art. The exhibits showcased Scandinavian artists, but the museum also had an entire gallery dedicated to California-based artists. In light of today’s political climate in the United States and in France, viewing some of the visceral and unapologetic works of modern art was just what I needed to take hold of my emotions and identify them. Visiting Oslo for the weekend was overall just what the doctor ordered. The people were fantastic, the nature breathtaking and the city different from any other European city I’ve been to so far. It was modern, sleek and efficient but still proud of its culture, and I loved seeing how a country can seemingly easily become global while staying true to its core values. A little bit of cold air was just the trick to clear my head after a tumultuous week, so thank you, Oslo. rarosens@indiana.edu

Hoosier on international stage By Cameron Drummond cpdrummo@iu.edu | @cdrummond97
IU senior rugby captain Bryce Campbell has already accomplished what most athletes can only dream of doing. He has represented his country on the international stage. Campbell made his first senior international appearance by starting for the United States national rugby union team, known as the USA Eagles, Nov. 4 against the New Zealand Maori All Blacks in front of more than 18,000 fans in Chicago. While the match ended in a 54-7 victory for New Zealand, the opportunity to suit up for the U.S. was a landmark moment for Campbell. “It was such a cool environment,” Campbell said. “Being on that stage in front of friends and family and playing against players that are superstars in the rugby world was really cool.” It was during his time at Cathedral High School in Indianapolis that Campbell’s rugby career began to flourish. He was selected to play for the USA Rugby High School All-American sevens team during his senior year before he decided to follow in his older brother’s footsteps and play club rugby at IU. “I had to make a decision
whether to go to a traditional rugby school or to come to IU and play with my brother and create a legacy here,” Campbell said. “I decided to come, and I’m so happy I did.” That legacy has culminated in Campbell making appearances for the U.S. at various international levels. Following a tour of Australia with the USA Rugby Collegiate All-American team this past summer, Campbell received a call-up to play for the USA Rugby Selects team in the World Rugby Americas Pacific Challenge in Uruguay. The tournament provided Campbell with a distinctive experience of playing with seasoned international players in three matches. “It was another step up in the speed and physicality of the game,” Campbell said. “Although I have a ton of room for growth, I know that physically I can hang with those guys.” Prior to his stint with the USA Selects team, Campbell benefited from time spent with a club team in Sydney. While Campbell awaited the arrival of the Collegiate All-American squad in Australia, IU rugby head coach Sopa Enari called up his own brother in Sydney to help get Campbell a trial with the club. Campbell credits go-
ing to a nation where rugby is among the most widely played sports with helping enhance his knowledge of the game. “The pace of the game down there is on another level,” Campbell said. “In Australia everyone’s knowledge of the game is much higher. Learning how to thrive in the fast-paced environment of the club really grew my game.” After a tournament IU played in Philadelphia during the summer, Enari recommended Campbell for the Collegiate All-American team. “As a former rugby player, I knew he had the tools and what it takes to play at that level,” Enari said. “Bryce is committed, honest to himself, and he puts in the work. His rugby IQ is very good, and his work ethic is second to none. He totally deserves everything that comes around for him.” Enari and the IU team made the trip to Bridgeview, Illinois, to watch Campbell in his first senior match with the U.S., and Enari wasn’t surprised with Campbell’s performance. “His defense was good, his tactical positioning was outstanding, and the few times he could get the ball, his of-
fense was good,” Enari said. “I was very proud to say he plays for IU.” Despite starting against the Maori All Blacks, Campbell had to wait until this past Saturday to earn his first international test appearance for the U.S. Campbell started for the USA Eagles in a 23-10 defeat to Romania in Bucharest, Romania, as part of the Autumn Internationals. As a result of his international test debut, Campbell was awarded an Eagle number to signify his full status as an international American player. Campbell was given Eagle No. 497, meaning he was the 497th all-time player to play for the USA Eagles. Campbell will have one more opportunity to feature for the U.S. in 2016, as the USA Eagles will travel to Spain to face Tonga on Nov. 19 in their final Autumn International match. For Campbell, this means he has another chance to continue his progression as a rugby player and to represent his country as he once dreamed he would. “It’s been my dream ever since I was a kid to be a U.S. Eagle,” Campbell said. “Hopefully this is the first cap of many for me, so I need to prove that I deserve to be there and do everything I can to help us win.”

2nd time is the charm for Royster By Jake Thomer jjthomer@indiana.edu @jake_the_thomer
At the start of IU’s exhibition game against University of Indianapolis on Nov. 6, sophomore forward Kym Royster was in the circle at center court to contest the opening tip for the first time as a Hoosier. After an up-and-down freshman year, Royster earned a spot in IU’s starting lineup. In the first two regular season games, Royster maintained her hold on that spot. “Kym’s just been very consistent, and she’s earned the right to be in that starting position,” IU Coach Teri Moren said. “I think she just has continued to play with more confidence. She’s played really well for us, and I hope that continues.” Last season, there were flashes of brilliance from Royster, but they were often followed by rough stretches. She appeared in all 32 games for IU but never started. After tallying 17 points and eight rebounds at Minnesota last January, she registered just 15 points total in her next six games, including three scoreless outings. After she notched her first career double-double at Illinois in February, she failed to top six points in three of her next four games. It was that kind of year for Royster, who didn’t quite see the court enough to build the consistency Moren wanted. Royster averaged fewer than 12 minutes per game during the season. At the end of the year, Royster was able to leave a lasting impression with a strong performance in IU’s season-ending loss against
“I thought that was a game played well all around even though the result wasn’t what we wanted, but that kind of showed me that I have the potential to start.”

IU takes on another ranked opponent Saturday when it goes on the road to face No. 4 Michigan. The Wolverines were upset by an unranked Iowa Hawkeyes squad last week, and thus both the Hoosiers and their hosts will enter the game off disappointing losses. IU Coach Kevin Wilson took time to update the media Monday on the status of the Hoosier program and its efforts to notch that last victory to become bowl eligible for the second straight year. Turnovers IU turned the ball over five times in its 45-31 loss to Penn State. Senior wide receiver Mitchell Paige fumbled the ball twice, a ball grazed an IU blocker on a punt and got picked up by a Nittany Lion player, freshman running back Devonte Williams and junior quarterback Richard Lagow muffed a handoff, and Lagow was stripped on a sack. Penn State scored 14 points off turnovers and used a fumble return for a touchdown on the strip-stack of Lagow to put the game out of reach in the final moments of the fourth quarter. “To me it’s coaching and that’s culture,” Wilson said. “And we’ve kind of addressed that again ... Our deal is if you fumble you don’t play. I don’t know what’s up with that but that’s how we play here. That’s our culture, and I take responsibility for those fumbles because I think we’ve gotten lax with that.” The Hoosiers picked Nittany Lion quarterback Trace McSorley off twice but still left the game with a -3 mark in the turnover battle. Michigan enters the contest with a +8 margin on the season, good for third best in the Big Ten, while IU’s -6 margin is second to last in the
conference. Paige took his fumbles particularly hard and blamed himself for the loss while his teammates sung his praises and assured him that wasn’t the case. Wilson said it’s important players, like Paige, in key positions stay disciplined, don’t press and remain confident. Motivation Wilson said Iowa answered the call in its upset win against Michigan and when you take on a team of that caliber it’s a matter of determining what the team will point to inspire a winning performance. “We talk about what do you hear and what’s your influences,” Wilson said. “What’s your motivating factors?” The confidence that comes from that helped Iowa’s defense hold Michigan’s rabid rushing and passing attacks to just 98 and 103 yards, respectively. Wilson has seen his defense exhibit that confidence with numerous forced threeand-outs against Maryland and a strong three quarters against Penn State, and skill players on offense make competitive one-on-one plays, but he wants more. “They should have confidence,” Wilson said. “But they should also have a lot of fire because it wasn’t good enough.” Penn State’s passing attack made up for a sluggish run game and allowed the Nittany Lions to complete a fourth-quarter comeback against the Hoosiers. At points Wilson said the team felt they were playing better than Penn State, but mistakes got in the way. Against Michigan IU will need to play a fuller four quarters. “We’re not going to need to play perfect this week to have a chance, you’re not going to,” Wilson said. “But we need to play well.”
Kym Royster, sophomore forward
Notre Dame in the NCAA Tournament. Royster played a season-high 29 minutes and finished with 10 points and 10 rebounds. She said that game made it easy to find the motivation to work hard in the offseason. “I thought that was a game played well all around even though the result wasn’t what we wanted, but that kind of showed me that I have the potential to start,” Royster said. “So that’s what kind of motivated me to work hard.” Royster said she focused on improving her midrange game and learning how to spot mismatches. Her ability to run and keep up with IU’s up-tempo offense gives her a huge advantage in the battle for minutes among IU’s post players. So far this year, Royster has rewarded Moren for her decision to insert the Ohio native into the lineup. Royster delivered a standout performance in the exhibition game with 18 points and eight rebounds in just 21 minutes. In the opening regular season game against Presbyterian, she dominated a smaller frontcourt to the tune of nine points, nine rebounds and three blocks. Most impressively, she pulled down seven offensive rebounds.

Kym Royster attempts a free throw in the game against University of Indianapolis on Sunday, Nov. 6. IU defeated UIndianapolis 87-58.
The game that arguably showed the most growth for Royster, however, was Sunday’s win against Vanderbilt. Royster started yet again but picked up two fouls in the first minute and checked out for the rest of the first half. When Royster returned to start the second half, she played aggressive, salvaged a solid personal performance and helped the Hoosiers pull away. In 11 second-half minutes, Royster notched five points, four rebounds,
an assist and a steal, all while picking up just one more foul. Moren said Royster’s second half performance was a clear sign of improvement. “I’m pleased with the way Kym came back in and didn’t foul out,” Moren said. “That shows a lot of growth from her end, because maybe a year ago she would have fouled out by the third quarter. She showed some discipline there by not fouling out of the game.”

“My turban is like the American flag. It represents safety and security to others. It’s not fashion.”
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 “Indiana has always been a pleasant experience,” Singh said. Singh said he moved to United States for personal betterment. He studied medicine in India under the Indian curriculum, but wanted to learn to more. “Most medical research is happening in America,” Singh said. “So it made sense to come here.” Singh lived in northwest Indiana before accepting a position at Monroe Hospital. He said sometimes he runs into people at the hospital who don’t know what a Sikh is or ask why he’s wearing a turban. Many people don’t say anything, but when he gets questions, it doesn’t annoy him. “I want to be an ambassador of my faith,” Singh said. “That’s what wearing the turban is — it signals you as an ambassador.” Khalsa views the turban similarly. “My turban is like the American flag,” Khalsa said. “It represents safety and security to others. It’s not fashion.” Khalsa said he believes it’s the collective burden of Sikhs to inform people about the faith. Sikhs do not proselytize, but the instances of hate crimes perpetuated against Sikh people prove that most people don’t recognize the differences between Sikhs and other religions. Education, then, becomes necessary to prevent violence. “We have the burden of telling them who we are,” Khalsa said. “It’s not their

The political action committee is a nonpartisan group working to make political leaders aware of the Sikh community, its contributions to Indiana’s economy and incorporate education about Sikhs into public school curriculums. Even though he and Singh have had positive experiences in the state, he said Indiana schools had problems with bullying towards Sikh children. His own children attend school in Fishers, but he said he doesn’t worry. Singh doesn’t worry either. He and his wife send his 4-year-old son to Montessori school with a small turban on his head every morning. Khalsa’s 14-year-old daughter, Vishevpreet Kuar, said everyone at her school knew her family was Sikh. She said she didn’t feel isolated but noticed a pressure to conform among her Sikh peers. “A lot of Sikh kids feel like they have to have the trendiest shoes or clothing in order to fit in with everyone else,” Kuar said. “A lot of Sikh boys will play sports in order to fit in.” On the Sunday that she
