Indiana football freshman wide receiver Connor Delp will be withheld from all team activities, according to a statement from IU Athletics.

"Indiana University Athletics and the IU football program are aware of the allegations against freshman Connor Delp. Delp is being withheld from all football team activities," IU Athletics told the Indiana Daily Student in a statement.

Delp, from Greenwood, Indiana, has not made an appearance in a game for Indiana this season. He committed to Indiana in January 2021.

Sexual assault, battery reported

After 36 hours of dancing, IU Dance Marathon revealed they raised $3,090,215.23 for Riley Hospital for Children Sunday morning at the IU Tennis Center. The total is an increase of over $185,000 from last year.

Before the total was revealed, IUDM’s executive council handed out multiple awards, including the dedicated Ryan White and Ashley Louise Crouse awards that are given out to individuals that exemplify the spirit of IUDM. White was a teenager from Kokomo who contracted AIDS through a blood transfusion. He died in 1990, and IUDM was established to honor his legacy. Crouse was a member of IUDM’s executive council who was killed in a car accident in 2005.

The dancers shouted when they saw themselves on the large screen above the stage as they watched two videos from the weekend.

Indiana falls 2–0 to Maryland, finishes third in Big Ten

By Amanda Foster and Tristan Jackson sports@idsnews.com

Sunday’s season-closing match between Indiana men’s soccer and Maryland extended a running rivalry in the latest match with Big Ten title implications. Indiana lost 2-0.

Maryland scored both goals in the second half, taking advantage of Indiana’s inability to get on the board in the first half.

“This game was tight,” head coach Todd Yeagley said. “Both teams had good chances.”

Indiana finishes the season with a 12-4-1 overall record and a 5-3 conference record to put them at third in conference standings behind champions Penn State and Maryland.

The Terrapins entered the second half of the match at full force after only putting up three shots in the first half. They controlled possession immediately, putting up two shots that were blocked

by Hoosier defenders. In the 49th minute, Maryland junior defender Ryan Blumberg was able to push a corner kick past junior goalkeeper Roman Celentano to put the Terrapins up 1-0.

“Once they got that first one they were very much feeling good,” Yeagley said. “It kind of rattled us a little bit, and I didn’t like the way we responded.”

Blumberg’s goal ended Indiana’s seven-game clean-sheet run. Indiana went 725 minutes without allowing a goal.

Less than 10 minutes later, sophomore midfielder Ben Bender snuck a shot past Celentano to secure Maryland’s lead.

Celentano and Bender had faced off in a penalty kick two minutes earlier where Celentano was able to make the save.

Celentano finished the match with nine saves as the Hoosier defense allowed 11 shots on goal and 17 shots total. The Hoosiers finished with nine shots and four shots on goal, all of which were saved by Maryland’s junior goalkeeper Niklas Neumann.

Neumann kept Indiana from getting the ball into the 18-yard box and effectively shut down Indiana’s offensive charges. However, Yeagley said he still saw positives from his team throughout the match, even at the very end.

“There was a good mentality surge at the end to try to get back into it,” he said. “They didn’t have any quit in them. They were tired, but they were working hard and trying to make plays.”

The Hoosiers created more chances against Neumann and the rest of the Terrapins defense in the first half, putting up six shots and dominating possession of the ball. Junior forward Herbert Endeley and freshman forward Samuel Sarver both had solo runs and created multiple goal-scoring opportunities, but ultimately could not convert.

Yeagley said he is focused on set pieces going forward and making sure the team can adjust during the game to capitalize on

them. Both Maryland and Indiana had multiple similar chances with corner kicks, he said, but Indiana was unable to make use of them which was ultimately the differentiating factor in the game.

With the loss, Indiana finishes third in the Big Ten, receiving the No. 3 seed in the conference tournament. Penn State, who

beat Wisconsin 2-0 on Saturday, holds the No. 1 seed after winning the regular-season title.

“We have a lot to play for in front of us,” Yeagley said. “It’s very disappointing to have a title opportunity and not find it, but we’ll get our heads back up and get ready for next Sunday.”

Indiana will face the No. 6 seed Rutgers on Nov. 7 at Bill

Armstrong Stadium to open the Big Ten Tournament. The game will be broadcast on BTN Plus.

Indiana lost its first Big Ten game of the regular season against Rutgers 2-1 on Sept. 17.

Health officials expect severe flu season

By Ryan Costello ryacoste@iu.edu | @RP_Costello

IU and state health officials said students and fellow Hoosiers should get their flu shots to combat the pandemic and the approaching influenza season.

According to USA Today, a survey revealed 40% of Amercians are not sure or are not planning on getting a flu shot this year.

This percentage is down significantly compared to the 51.8% of people six months and older that got vaccinated against the flu last season, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The healthcare system could potentially see a surge of both coronavirus and flu infections if

people do not continue to get their vaccinations, Shandy Dearth, IUPUI director of undergraduate epidemiology education, said.

This increase in both cases could be attributed to the lack of COVID-19 protocols in place, which is unlike last flu season when these measures were in full effect, Dearth said.

The concern among the public health community is that a more severe flu season could be on the way due to a lack of collective immunity against the flu in the U.S. along with community public health orders ending, Dearth said.

“The limited number of serious flu cases last year means there is no im-

munity built up for the flu coming into this period of the year,” Dearth said.

People who do not plan on not getting their flu shot most likely did not get their COVID-19 vaccine, Thomas Duszynski, IUPUI director of epidemiology education, said.

Duszynski said many unvaccinated people who haven’t caught the flu believe they won’t ever catch it.

“It is important to realize the cold weather alone does not cause the flu,” Duszynski said. “It is what happens during the cold weather that ultimately causes the spread of the influenza.”

Now that students are back to in-person learning, the current learning environment is the ideal

opportunity for the flu virus to spread because students are in confined spaces like lecture halls, Duszynski said.

“The hope is students have learned from the repercussions of COVID-19 and are more inclined to get vaccinated against both the flu and COVID-19,” Duszynski said.

“They will have more freedom to move about once they are protected.”

Duszynski said it would be a smart idea for IU students to follow protocols like wearing a mask and stay physically distant if feasible, not just to protect themselves from COVID-19 but also from the flu.

CAPS ends ADHD screening for fall

By Tory Basile vlbasile@iu.edu | @torybasilee

Freshman Jacob Radin sits in a lecture hall, his feet tapping as he struggles to focus. Still, he says he feels better than he did in high school, when he’d bite his nails until they bled and duck out of class early due to boredom.

Radin, who was diagnosed with ADHD when he was 3 years old, is one of many students at IU who have had to seek educational accommodations during their time in college in order to cope with their symptoms.

Three weeks ago, IU’s Counseling and Psychological Services said it was unable to accommodate any more ADHD screening requests from students since it is booked for the rest of the fall 2021 semester.

Radin said he’s concerned about how this could affect students who have yet to find support.

“It’s better to know that you have ADHD so you can deal with it in the proper way rather than to have it slowly affect you,” Radin said.

CAPS director Dr. Denise Hayes explained how it is managing scheduling given the increase in demand for counseling services, and how it is supporting students with potential ADHD symptoms even though screening is booked.

CAPS is currently referring them to local psychological sources.

Hayes said the ADHD screening CAPS typically offers is not a comprehensive assessment used to obtain an official diagnosis but is rather a process of comparing students’ symptoms to other possible causes, like depression, anxiety or sleep deprivation. From there, CAPS will guide students on how to proceed.

“If someone has clear and compelling signs of ADHD, then we will refer them to a psychiatrist

to continue some assessments,” Hayes said.

Depending on their symptoms, CAPS will then connect students with Disability Student Services.

DSS offers testing accommodations, life coaching and ADHD specific plans to students who need it. It also refers students to the Student Academic Center, where they can seek academic coaching to learn how to manage their time.

In terms of seeking ADHDspecific therapy, CAPS currently refers students to psychiatric providers in Bloomington and Indianapolis.

However, students may have an even more difficult time booking an appointment with these external providers.

IU alumna Dr. Sarah Ragonese, a licensed psychologist listed on the CAPS website, has been practicing in Bloomington for more than 15 years. She said she’s received an unusually high demand for ADHD services in the last year and a half.

“The number of inquiries that I get from college-aged students regarding ADHD evaluations has probably increased fivefold,” Ragonese said. “On average, I receive 30 to 40 inquiries a week, and that’s unheard of.”

Ragonese said in previous years she received only three to five ADHD inquiries per week.

This surge in the need for mental health services is felt across Bloomington.

Spencer Psychology, another practice that CAPS refers students to, said this week it was completely booked as well.

Both Hayes and Ragonese said they think the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on students’ lives may be responsible for this uptick in requests for counseling.

“It’s possible that COVID-19 could have contributed to the symptoms, whether that means they actually have ADHD or

they’re having trouble concentrating and focusing,” Hayes said. “I would say more of what we’re seeing now is students adjusting to being back with people, adjusting to the interpersonal interactions, social anxiety, things like that.”

Ragonese said impacts of the pandemic, coupled with the added pressure of a college curriculum and lifestyle, could explain students’ need for support.

“The demands are higher in college and you also have a lot less structure than high school provided, so it can be kind of the perfect storm for some people to struggle,” Ragonese said.

Despite the struggle to book counseling, Hayes stressed that students have options and said she’s glad that so many students are seeking mental health support.

“I think everyone can really benefit from some counseling because it’s an opportunity to have an objective perspective on things that stress us out,” Hayes said.

Ragonese said in the meantime, students experiencing ADHD symptoms should look into executive functioning strategies, which are techniques for managing mental processes. She also said to take

care of their sleep schedule, exercise and nutrition.

She said managing these seemingly little things can be massively important in daily cognitive function.

As for on-campus solutions, Molly Burke, coordinator of retention services for the Student Academic Center, said it’s working on expanding its academic coaching opportunities.

She said academic coaching works to teach students how to manage not only their time and schoolwork but also their health.

“There’s a transition happening for the students,” Burke said. “We still have students that are like, ‘Well, my mom made me an appointment.’ That’s another thing we try to teach here — at some point you’re going to have to be the one calling.” Burke said.

Burke said she hopes students will remain persistent and hopeful while they seek help.

“I encourage them to keep going,” Burke said.

“Tons of people experience college as being harder than what they thought it would be, but just because you feel that way doesn’t mean you’re not supposed to be here or that you don’t have what it takes to get it done.

It just may look a little different.”

President and CEO of Mother Hubbard’s Cupboard, Amanda Nickey, announced her resignation after nearly 12 years Oct. 9. She will leave her position at the end of this year.

According to a press release, Nickey initiated many changes throughout the organization, including increasing the service capacity of the food pantry, restructuring the board and staff and developing new programs. Moving forward, the organization is looking for new leadership.

Nickey said she is looking forward to taking the opportunity to spend more time with her family and young children. She said she is excited for a change in leadership and proud of what the organization has become.

“I feel excited for the opportunity for new leadership for the organization,” Nickey said. “I’m pretty proud of a lot of what I’ve been able to make happen in my time at Mother Hubbard’s Cupboard.

Sometimes that means making room for new leadership.”

Following her departure, Nickey said she hopes the organization never strays from its core values, such as equity and social justice. She said she looks forward to seeing how the company evolves and adapts to the changing needs of the local community members they serve.

“I hope that it continues to be really focused and driven by its values and that it continues to be adaptable,” Nickey said. “One of the things that I appreciate the most about the Hub as an organization is that it’s constantly evolving and learning new things. I think that’s really important for the future

and the health of the organization and its ability to continue to meet the changing needs in the community.”

Julia Dotson, board chairwoman of Mother Hubbard’s Cupboard, said Nickey has fostered numerous changes for the organization, such as improving the organization’s finances, and has left an amazing foundation for new leadership.

“I could write several pages on what changes Amanda has made,” Dotson said. “She has promoted the values on which the Hub was founded: equity and inclusion for people living with food insecurity and poverty.”

Dotson said not only has Nickey created increasing financial support through grants, fundraising and developing relationships with community partners, but she also never strayed from some of the organization’s key values.

“She has prioritized advocacy and social justice for Hub patrons and the community at large,” Dotson said. “Expanding programs and opportunities to learn, develop skills and broaden a supportive community.”

Anyone interested in filling this leadership position can find more information on its website. Dotson said the company is looking to continue Nickey’s legacy by choosing a candidate that can uphold her standards for serving the public.

“It’s not an easy task to fill Amanda’s position,” Dotson said. “Where we’re headed as an organization, including the board, the staff, the patrons, I believe is to continue Amanda’s legacy and to promote choice, dignity, respect and advocacy and to provide nutritious food for local community members.”

IU physicists announce neuron lifetime

By Lauren Ulrich laaulric@iu.edu | @LaurenUlrich5

A research team led by IU physicists announced Oct. 13 a single number that could help solve a decades-long mystery in the world of physics.

The world’s most precise measurement of the neutron’s lifetime is now 877.75 seconds, according to the study published in Physical Review Letters.

The new measurement may help physicists put fundamental theories of the nature of the universe to the test, IU research scientist and research coauthor Daniel Salvat said.

The experiment, conducted at Los Alamos National Laboratory from 2017 to 2018, measured the average time it takes the neutron to decay more precisely than ever before, he said. Salvat said his team’s latest measurement has more than twice the precision of its previous experiment published in

2018 and reports an uncertainty of less than 0.1%.

“The uncertainty with which we measured the neutron lifetime is by far the smallest that’s ever been done,” Salvat said.

“That we were able to do the measurement with such a greater statistical precision was remarkable.”

An over decade-long research project led by IU and made up of collaborators from across the country resulted in the latest experiment, he said.

Salvat said the researchers designed an improved method to measure neutron lifetime.

Neutrons were placed in a bathtub-shaped trap lined with magnets that kept them suspended in air, then researchers counted how many neutrons were left in the trap to calculate how many decayed after a certain period of time. Salvat said the researchers cycled neutrons through the trap thousands of times and

counted almost 40 million neutrons over the experiment.

Chen-Yu Liu, research team leader and IU physics professor, said one motivation for the experiment is to compare their results to those found by a competing method. The other method found neutron lifetime measurement to differ by about 10 seconds.

“This 10 seconds is just glaring at us,” Liu said. “It’s a very disturbing fact that there exist two leading experimental techniques, and then they disagree with each other by 10 seconds.”

Liu said researchers are trying to determine if the discrepancy between the two studies is due to a flaw in one of their experiments, or if it’s an unknown physical phenomenon. She said their measurement is a “small piece of a big puzzle” that can help physicists solve this question of discrepancy and potentially lead

to new developments in the field.

Chairman of IU’s Department of Physics David Baxter said the significance of the newest measurement is that its precision reduces the likelihood that the flaw is in IU’s experiment. The newest measurement still leaves room for uncertainty, but the window for error is lessening. If the two competing experiments continue to measure different results, then he said this could mean the neutron’s lifetime may be the answer to holes in physicists’ understanding of how matter works.

“You live for the times you see something you don’t understand,” Baxter said. “Now we can start asking, ‘is this new physics or is it a misunderstood experiment?’ Maybe there’s some other new physics that could explain what’s going on here and so that’s intriguing. That’s what’s exciting.”

STEFAN’S STANCE ON IT

Representation matters — in front of and behind the camera

By Stefan Townes sztownes@iu.edu | @stefant_

The conversation around representation in the entertainment industry seems to be getting better every day.

The industry has a historical problem of lacking diversity and portraying minorities in harmful ways. In turn, more efforts have been made to ensure a more diverse cast of people make it to the silver screen, with the level of diversity increasing year by year. Maybe the issue isn’t completely solved, but it’s headed in the right direction in most people’s eyes.

Well, despite the welcomed changes in casting leading roles, there’s next to no difference being made behind the scenes. While we’re seeing more stories and works showcasing groups of people we wouldn’t have seen otherwise, the people at the top of the chain are still primarily white men.

The changes in the entertainment industry seem to be shallow at best and only

occur at the level of lead actors, the biggest name attached to a movie. However, according to a University of California, Los Angeles study done in 2020, only 15.1% of directing credits went to people of color. In the same

study, they also claim only 13.9% of writing credits were people of color.

Still, the lack of diversity in the production of a film doesn’t mean movies haven’t gotten more diverse. In fact, some studies found 2020 to

be the best year in film for diversity on screen. Of course, this is also met with a substantial gain in revenue.

“The previous reports in this series have consistently shown that films with casts reflecting America’s diver-

sity are, on average, the top performers in terms of global box office,” the UCLA study said.

Diverse movies are not only just a positive for the critical side of things but the commercial as well.

The entertainment industry gets to make more money, and the public gets to have more films and shows about underrepresented groups.

While this may be a win-win scenario in most views, it still shows a lack of change in Hollywood when only the casting is affected.

When people say representation matters, it can mean a few different things.

The most common meaning is seeing stories and casting in films that reflect and relate to an audience. It’s important for a young Black girl to see people who look like her on the big screen, and studies support this. But representation isn’t only about who gets to see what in the next movie — it’s also about who gets to tell these stories.

It’s also worthwhile to

note that films and shows that are more diverse also seem to follow a pattern of racial trauma. More recent Black movies are centered around the fearful realities Black people had to face in history, to the point where some audiences are getting tired of it. Very rarely do we see examples of works that show minority characters simply living life — it almost always has to center their strife.

While we can — and definitely should — celebrate the increase in casting diversity, the data shows the same can’t be said of the actual people making these stories. It begs the question if whether or not the increase in diversity on screen is from a genuine drive to create a better industry, or if it’s just a convenient way to make money while appeasing critics. Considering both how much tension there is in America around race and social justice and the historical failings of Hollywood, I’m less than optimistic.

AADC performs traditional African dances

By Tiera Howleit thowleit@iu.edu | @officialtiera

The African American Dance Company performed Oct. 20 at Switchyard Park to pay homage to traditional African dances, taking the audience through a series of dances from a variety of African cultures.

The title of this performance was “Shosholoza Train: A performance of embodied research.” This performance was not like a typical dance performance because research was a common theme within it.

While the AADC opened up performances during First Thursdays earlier this month, this past performance was more in-depth.

Throughout the performance, AADC director Baba Stafford gave details on the dances before they were performed. The performance’s movement of dances from country to country was referred to as the Shosholoza Train, which is the name of a South African railway.

The Mande is a dance originating in Zimbabwe, which the AADC performed toward the beginning of its performance. From there, the train traveled to the Mali Empire where it performed the Lamban dance, then to South Africa to the tribe of

the Zulus. This dance was titled “The gumboot dance” where it was performed in rubber boots to pay homage to the rubber shoes the Zulus wore.

Stafford said African people needed dance to help ease the horrors of the realities they faced. He also said these dances helped them move toward freedom.

AADC wrapped up its performance by traveling to Ghana to perform the celebration dance of the harvest.

This modern-day dance is performed mainly in social settings.

During the AADC’s productions, the audience performs alongside them. The members of AADC brought some of the audience members on stage to join in dance with them, adding a greater level of community involvement.

The AADC makes the audience feel at home during performances. AADC is home to many people, alongside the entirety of the African American Arts Institute. The Dance Company is one of three ensembles within the African American Arts Institute with the other two ensembles being the African American Choral Ensemble and the IU Soul Revue.

said he has a home within the ensemble.

“My experience as a member is one of my top memorable moments of being at IUB,” Craig said. “The best part of being a member of AADC was the journey of becoming more confident

in myself and gaining confidence in my movement.”

Craig said she joined the ensemble because she was looking for something to take her to another level of development in dancing.

IU sophomore Cicely Samuel said this is the sec-

ond time she has attended an AADC performance.

“I loved the energy the performance gave off,” Samuel said. “It was an amazing performance, and I will consider trying out.”

AADC is open to everyone, and auditions will

be held at the end of this semester. No routine is required for auditions.

All three ensembles perform throughout the year and come together for the Potpourri of the Arts, which will be at 3 p.m. Nov. 14 at the IU Auditorium.

Black students suspended for protesting against confederate flags

By Da’Nasia Pruitt pruittd@iu.edu | @danasialp

Black students at Coosa High School in Rome, Georgia were suspended after they planned a protest in response to white students waving a confederate flag and saying racial slurs.

According to Insider, the student who organized the protest said that the confederate flag made them feel disrespected. The students who joined the protest were Black, Latinx and white. The school’s administration said that students involved in the protest would be “disciplined for encouraging unrest.”

However, Insider said only the Black students were suspended.

White supremacy affects Black children almost immediately after they are brought into the world and then for the rest of their lives. Black parents send their kids to school so they can learn and receive education to be able to navigate in a world that directly opposes their existence.

The Black students being suspended while their white counterparts received no repercussions displays just how much white supremacy is ingrained in every institution.

In order to destroy white supremacy there needs to be more assertive efforts to combat it within the classroom.

Racism is the only other explanation as to why the

ILLUSTRATION BY DONYÁ COLLINS

Black students at Coosa High School were the only ones suspended. There is no other way to describe it. Schools punish Black students at a higher rate than their white counterparts.

Black students are 338% more likely to be suspended

than white students, according to The New York Times.

Schools are often not mentioned when discussing systems of white supremacy.

Most Black children experience their first encounters with racism and the function of white supremacy at

school.

According to The Seattle Times, many Black children experience racism as early as preschool. White teachers even scored Black students’ academic abilities lower than their white peers while they had identical scores, ac-

cording to The Seattle Times.

Picture how antagonizing school environments can be when Black children have teachers, students and administrators that are displaying racism. You are going to school every day knowing that you will experience

harm — this is the life of many Black students.

What outlets do Black children have at school to express the harm that they have experienced? Who is there to advocate for them when they can’t do it themselves without the fear of being punished? Can you imagine the impact that can have on a child mentally?

While there have been efforts to learn about the harms of white supremacy and racism, there have been even more efforts to do the exact opposite. Some states have banned curricula which aim to talk about institutionalized racism.

People say that “children are the future.” How are Black children going to be able to think about changing the world in the future when there’s nothing in their daily lives that gives them anything to look forward to?

At every corner of their life, white supremacy is there looking them in the face.

It’s easy to tell Black parents to find new schools, but racism and anti-blackness are everywhere.

The onus shouldn’t be just on parents. There have to be systemic changes. Having conversations and seminars about racism won’t work if institutions still remain how they were previously. There has to be real action in order to make sure that white supremacy no longer affects the lives of Black children.

White supremacy needs to be destroyed.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 They danced and sang along while the morale committee performed a 12-minute line dance.

Near the closing of the marathon, dancers gathered in a large circle with their arms around each other, listening to the song “Angels Among Us” play over the speakers.

Many began crying.

“I should have brought a Kleenex,” a dancer whispered to her friend.

After a year of worrying about the total amount of money raised, IUDM President Catherine McGibbon said she is confident ev-

eryone at the marathon did as much as they could to help every child who walks through the door of Riley.

“A lot of people will define the success of a dance marathon by the number that gets raised at the end of the year, but we know that the true definition of our success comes from our effort, our perseverance, and doing what we know we can do to help the kids at Riley,” McGibbon said.

McGibbon said she was worried fewer people would show up when IUDM was moved to Halloween weekend or that people might not be willing to donate with the pandemic economy. De-

spite these fears, IUDM met and surpassed her goals for this year.

“The goal is to raise awareness and money for Riley Hospital so they can keep helping kids and making miracles happen for children,” IU sophomore and IUDM dancer Abbie Skadron said.

Keith Dayton, IUDM faculty adviser and IU professor, spoke about his experience as a child at Riley and sang the IU fight song with the dancers in the last few hours of the marathon. He said he is grateful for IUDM and all the work that went into helping the ETHAN LEVY | IDS children at Riley.

Director of Hospitality and IU junior “This is the gem of IU,” Dayton Emma Crumback cries during the closing said. of the IU Dance Marathon on Oct. 31.

OPINION

JACOB’S JAWING

PFAS have been used to exploit ignorance of Americans for too long Jacob Spudich (he/him) is a freshman studying journalism and political science.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey found that PFAS are present in the blood of 97% of Americans.

PFAS stands for polyfluoroalkyl and perfluoroalkyl substances and they’re a class of 5,000 to 10,000 artificial chemicals containing highly toxic fluorinated chemicals. They’ve been produced since the mid 20th century.

Major chemical companies like DuPont, 3M and Chemours have outwitted the Environmental Protection Agency for decades, deliberately ignoring the harmful effects of PFAS, including multiple types of cancer, reproductive issues and developmental problems.

PFAS can be found in a variety of consumer products. A study conducted by Greenpeace found that PFAS are in products made by brands like North Face, Columbia, Patagonia, Adidas, Nike and Puma. PFAS are also found in other products such as pizza boxes, microwavable popcorn bags, food wrappers, nonstick pans and the water supply of millions of Americans.

Perfluorooctanoic acid or PFOA is a chemical in the class of PFAS and the main ingredient in Teflon. Teflon was created by the company DuPont to create a non-stick coating that’s seen in many household items such as non-stick pans.

PFAS differ from other chemicals as they are known as “forever chemicals'' because of the strong carbonfluoride bonds causing them to build up in the body and the environment.

In 2001, West Virginia residents discovered that Teflon contaminated the water supply of more than 70,000 people in Parkers-

burg. The lawsuit that transpired proved DuPont not only knew it was dumping harmful chemicals into the water supply but also neglected to warn its workers, local environmental officials and residents.

Keith Matheny of the Detroit Free Press said in 2019 “PFAS contamination is Michigan’s biggest environmental crisis in 40 years” even after the discovery that lead had contaminated the water supply in Flint, Michigan.

“You don’t have to live near Chemours or DuPont or 3M to have exposure to these things,” Linda Birnbaum, the former head of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, said in an interview with The New York Times.

“It is in the water. It is in

our food. It’s in our homes and in our house dust. And depending where you live, it may be in our air.”

In 2010, Minnesota’s Attorney General’s office received documents outlining research done by 3M on PFAS. It showed “negative health effects in laboratory rats and other animals,” citing that 3M employees’ blood had become contaminated with the chemicals.

3M neglected its findings and continued to sell products containing PFAS regardless.

According to The New York Times, DuPont lied to North Carolina regulators about the health risks associated with PFAS in 2010 and told them it wasn’t dumping PFAS into Cape Fear River even though it has been dumping the chemicals

since the 1980s. Cape Fear River is the primary water supply for 1.5 million Americans.

Many studies have linked PFAS to multiple types of cancer, reproductive problems, weakened immune systems, low birth weight, pregnancy-induced hypertension, ulcerative colitis, increased cholesterol, thyroid disease and weight gain.

In 2018, an estimated 110 million Americans were exposed to PFAS through their tap water. Earlier this year scientists raised the number to more than 200 million Americans.

Contamination happens outside the United States as well, as PFAS spread to countries such as Italy, China and the Netherlands.

The EPA has worked to phase out the two most

harmful PFAS chemicals, PFOA and PFOS, starting this month. The EPA said it should be labeled hazardous and removed from drinking water by 2023.

PFOA and PFOS are longchained, carbon-rich chemicals. Chemical companies replaced them with shortchained chemicals containing fewer carbons to abide

by EPA regulations. While the EPA found these shortchained PFAS are less toxic, they’re still linked to problems with the kidneys, the blood, the thyroid, the reproductive system, the liver and development in rodents.

With continuous new restrictions set by the EPA and entertained by Congress, chemical companies are likely to develop new chemicals with similar risks, such as the short-chained alterna-

tives to PFOA and PFOS. The PFAS Action Act of 2021 was passed by the House of Representatives in July and currently sits with the Senate and the Committee of Environment and Public Works. This bill would enact clean up for contaminated sites, inform and identify health risks, limit the production of other PFAS chemicals and tighten the EPA’s restrictions.

DuPont, Chemours and 3M are to blame for the mismanagement of PFAS. People must be educated not only about PFAS but their harmful effects as well. Unfortunately, action might be too little, too late as PFAS are everywhere, including in our bodies and in our drinking water. jaspudi@iu.edu

NOTHIN’ BUT NAT

JARED’S JOURNAL

We must continue to vote

Trans people deserve more positive representation in horror films

Natalie Gabor (she/her) is a senior studying journalism with minors in business marketing and philosophy.

Even though I go to school in Indiana, I have been and always will be a begrudgingly proud Texan.

I grew up there. My whole life is there, and I love most everything about the people, the culture and especially the food.

However, there’s one overarching and incessantly aggravating aspect of my beloved home state: the Texas legislature.

As of 2021, it remains disproportionately white, male and Republican. Of the 180 electors, 132 are men. If the legislature accurately represented the state, it would contain at least 56% more Hispanic representatives, and the number of representatives aged 20 to 34 would increase by more than 1,000%. The minimum age to serve in Texas is 21, but only four electors fall within the 20 to 34 range, according to The Texas Tribune.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed into law a near ban on abortion this year.

Though this legislation was written and passed by a majority of cisgendered men, it affects more than 14 million women across the state. And this imbalance persists in part because of how few voters actually show up in elections — only around 52% of eligible voters registered and turned out in Texas for the 2020 election.

If you’re an Indiana resident, you might be wondering how this applies to your life. Just because these trends are happening in my home state doesn’t mean they won’t happen — or aren’t happening — in Indiana, too. In some cases, it’s even worse.

Voting is not the end all

be all — it’s the bare minimum. But we’re not doing it. Only 67% of eligible voters casted ballots in 2020, according to NPR. That left around 80 million people unaccounted for.

Texas Republican redistricting efforts resulted in districts resembling Rorschach inkblots more than representative clusters. If state Democrats in swing districts had a slim chance before, it’s now practically obliterated.

Theoretically, districts should be a cluster of a population. But unsurprisingly, in Texas, they aren’t. Texas is a huge proponent of gerrymandering, or manipulating districts of electorates to favor one party. Texas is among the 10 most gerrymandered states in the country. Because it’s one of 34 states whose legislature has primary control over district lines, electors effectively cherrypick who votes for them in elections — not the other way around.

Republicans have an absolute chokehold on the Texas political landscape.

They remain in office in part because they get to draw their own districts, making it easier to obtain.

This trend continues, even though Texas consistently experiences rapid population growth and change.

New neighborhoods are constantly cropping up, eagerly attracting their next congressional representative depending on community demographics, income levels and likely political affiliation.

I watched “Real Time with Bill Maher” a few weeks ago, and even though I don’t necessarily agree with everything he says, his final monologue left me shaken. For those familiar with the show, Maher referenced a “slow moving coup” that will essentially circumvent the 2024 election through political subterfuge.

Maher made three gen-

eral conclusions: “Trump will run in 2024; he will get the Republican nomination; and whatever happens on election night, the next day he will announce that he won.” This announcement might precede riots similar to those on Jan. 6.

And this plan could succeed through Republican wins in the 2022 midterms, installing election officials with questionable integrity and consistent apathy from American voters.

I understand the right to vote is far more accessible to some than others.

I understand the persistent inequality, particularly for people of color, as their voting prospects have been systemically restricted, criminalized and disenfranchised — and we should work toward tearing down these barriers. As we do this, we must also ensure others who have the privilege to exist without such restraints use it.

Those who live in communities with relatively easy voter access should be running to the polls, and so should young people who may not have as many economic or situational restraints. Nationally, around 65% of those aged 18 to 24 voted for Joe Biden, 11% more than any other age group, according to NBC exit polls.

That means if we could increase this demographic at the polls, we could effectively change the American political landscape.

I urge anyone with the physical capability to register to vote at least 30 days before the next election and show up on election day. If we don’t, the “slow moving coup” might actually become reality.

The Texas primary election will be March 1, and the Indiana primary election will be May 3. natgabor@iu.edu

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

It’s Halloween, and if you’re like me, you’ll be celebrating with a good scary movie. We all love a good monster movie, don’t we?

Dracula, the mummy, even Michael Myers is kind of a monster. But in our twisted, prejudiced culture, the most horrifying monster, according to mainstream horror films, is a trans person.

Not all trans characters need to be morally perfect, but it’s far past time that filmmakers be more thoughtful in their depictions of trans characters.

Negative depictions of trans people constitute most of their representation in film.

More positive representations of transgender characters are desperately needed.

The trans representation we have in horror films ranges from lackluster to downright problematic. An example is warranted.

It’s 1960. Janet Leigh graces the screen for her famous scene. She’s alone, in the shower, having a pleasant, private moment. Behind her the door opens. She doesn’t hear over the running water. Suddenly, the shower curtains are pulled back.

Cue the sharp, screeching sounds of violins, and the close-up of the screaming woman right before she is brutally murdered.

It’s revealed at the end of Alfred Hitchcock’s “Psycho” that the knife-wielding murderer is Norman Bates, dressed up in his mother’s clothes because he believes that he is his mother. However, Norman Bates is decidedly not a trans person.

But a woman is killed in a bathroom, of all places, by a man dressed as a woman.

Don’t the most devout transphobes wrongly say that’s all a trans woman is anyway?

“Psycho” became the template for a new horror movie trope. Suddenly, it

became quite fashionable to feature trans or trans-coded psychopaths in horror. Films such as 1980’s “Dressed to Kill” and 1991’s “The Silence of the Lambs” make Hitchcock’s film look tame.

Characters like Norman Bates in “Psycho” and Buffalo Bill in “The Silence of the Lambs” affect how trans people are perceived in reality. In the Netflix documentary film “Disclosure,” actress Jen Richards recounts how when she came out to her friend as transgender, their immediate response was, “What, like Buffalo Bill?”

Buffalo Bill is a serial killer who murders women, skins them and then wears their skin because, as Hannibal Lecter puts it, Buffalo Bill is not a trans woman, but he thinks he is.

The filmmakers may have known they could be doing tremendous harm to the trans community with Buffalo Bill, and despite a character explicitly saying Buffalo Bill is not transgender, the audience is generally incapable of understanding such nuance.

When the most popular depictions of transgender characters are terrifying murderers, it is unsurprising trans people in real life are viewed with fear and suspicion.

Take “Psycho” and its far inferior imitator “Dressed to Kill,” in which transgender and transgender-coded characters murder women in the bathroom. Fast-forward to 2020, and author J.K. Rowling destroys her legacy in one fell swoop by writing in “TERF Wars” about the dangers of throwing open the doors of bathrooms “to any man who believes or feels he is a woman.”

While representation isn’t everything, it cannot be denied these depictions of trans people have real-life ramifications. In January of this year, for example, the Indiana House of Represen-

MOVIE STILLS DATABASE

Anthony Perkins plays Norman Bates, a character with an alternate personality who dresses up as his mother, in Alfred Hitchcock’s 1960 movie “Psycho.”

tatives introduced a bill that would make using a bathroom designated to the opposite gender of one’s birth a misdemeanor.

It’s imperative that we tirelessly fight against anti-trans legislation. Trans people are not the monsters you’ve seen in film. They are human beings who deserve dignity, and better portrayals in media would go a long way to change people’s perceptions of trans people.

It’s worth mentioning that it is almost always a trans woman, played by a cisgender man, depicted as the villain in horror. Transgender men are effectively erased, and transgender actors have been excluded from representing themselves throughout most of the history of film.

What makes the conversation around trans characters in horror so difficult is that movies like “Psycho” and “The Silence of the Lambs” are admittedly very good films. But enough is enough. We have seen trans characters play the villain — it is time we see them be the hero. Monsters no more, trans people will be the ones we cheer for, surviving the masked slasher and slaying the monster. jaquigg@iu.edu

Kristin Chenoweth performs at IU Auditorium

By Lauren McLaughlin lrmclaug@iu.edu

Actress and singer Kristin Chenoweth in a glittering red dress was met with a wave of applause Saturday night as she waltzed onto the IU Auditorium stage.

She performed her “For The Girls” concert, which she exclusively performed eight times in November 2019 at the Nederlander Theatre in New York City.

The concert is based on Chenoweth’s 2019 album by the same name, which is a tribute to female artists such as Barbra Streisand, Lesley Gore and Dolly Parton.

IU Auditorium managing director Maria Talbert said Chenoweth arrived in Bloomington earlier this week to teach a masterclass with students in the IU Department of Theatre, Drama, and Contemporary Dance.

Chenoweth spoke very highly of the students she worked with during Friday’s masterclass, giving them advice throughout the concert and calling them her “kids.”

“I need to tell you I was blown away,” Chenoweth said to the audience. “So you’ll forgive me if I talk to them.”

Broadway actress and singer Kristin Chenoweth poses for a picture. Chenoweth performed her revue-style concert “For the Girls” on Oct. 30, 2021, at IU Auditorium.

She performed songs off her album such as “You Don’t Own Me” by Lesley Gore and “Desperado” by the Eagles, which she said she loved even more when she was young and heard a woman sing it on the radio.

She decided to sing “I Get Along Without You Very Well” to pay homage to lyricist and musician Hoagy Carmichael after she saw

the artist’s statue outside the auditorium. She also entertained the audience with stories of her dinner at Potbelly Sandwich Shop and her Bloomington adventures in Target and CVS. One of the biggest rounds of applause was for “Popular,” Chenoweth’s iconic song from her role as Glinda the Good Witch in the original Broadway musi-

cal “Wicked.” The audience also showed its appreciation for “Till There Was You” from the musical “The Music Man,” which Chenoweth performed for guitarist Josh Bryant.

“He doesn’t know this is going to happen,” Chenoweth said. “There’s a song that I wanted to sing to Josh tonight.”

Chenoweth said Bryant

proposed to her Wednesday in New York, prompting her tosing the song to celebrate their engagement.

“When the guitarist was her fiance — plot twist,” freshman Hannah Hunt said. “That was wild.”

Hunt and her suitemate freshman Emily Koechel came to the show together.

Koechel said she loves Chenoweth and her music.

CLEAR CUT

“That was the best show I’ve ever been to,” she said.

“I’m so glad she came, and I’m like, ‘I’m not going to sleep for the next week.’”

Hunt said she heard little of Chenoweth’s music before Saturday’s performance, but she was amazed by the concert.

“Her vocal range is really phenomenal,” Hunt said. “I am a converted fan.”

Chenoweth ended the concert with a performance of “Reasons for Hope,” a song written by musical director Mary-Mitchell Campbell and singer and actress Crystal Monee Hall. After taking a bow, she curtsied, made a heart with her hands and exited stage right.

But as the standing ovation went on for over a minute, Chenoweth returned to the stage.

“You all filled my soul tonight,” Chenoweth said.

Chenoweth’s voice carried across the auditorium without a microphone as she performed a final song: “Smile,” originally performed by Nat King Cole.

She sang, “You’ll find life is still worthwhile if you just...” As Chenoweth gestured, audience members finished in response.

“Smile.”

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Adele poses for a picture at the 59th Annual Grammy Awards on Feb. 12, 2017, in Los Angeles. Grammy Award-winner Adele announced her anticipated return to music after posting a 20-second snippet of her new single “Easy on Me” on Oct. 5.

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

Adele sprung back into her reign of cultural supremacy after the release of “Easy on Me’’ on Oct. 15 broke world records. It achieved 24 million streams in one week.

The piano ballad showcased Adele in her brilliant comfort zone. Tones of heartbreak and hopelessness spill effortlessly through her voice and onto the track, furthering her artistry and preparing audiences for her upcoming album “30.”

While anticipation for her newest album is exciting, the rest of Adele’s music, from her initial singles to most recent work, have proved her to be one of the best artists to come from the 21st century.

Since 2008, each one of her releases has matured in

style, grown in popularity and taken us further on her emotionally-relatable journey through life.

Her solo discography starts with the release of her 2008 singles “Chasing Pavements,” “Hometown Glory” and a few others that ultimately culminated to form her debut album “19,” titled after her age when she wrote her original songs.

This first album, characterized by an intimate, guitar-focused, beat-driven sound soared across social media and ultimately peaked at No. 1 in its first week on the UK charts.

Adele had quickly captured an audience with her incredible vocal quality and lyric-driven songs.

Adele was destined for stardom. After all, she trained at the BRIT School, whose alumni include Amy Winehouse and Kate Nash.

But what made her even more impressive was her

distinct vocal style. Her full, hearty, chest-driven belt, punches through her instrumentals, while flips into a lighter head voice, tie up and polish verses and ends of phrases. She was, and is, a unique singer that hasn’t tried to copy those that have come before her.

This sound is clearly refined and established in her next studio album, “21.”

Perhaps her most famous album, it rocketed to No. 1 on its first day and remained there for 11 straight weeks. It was clear Adele’s audience was engaged and excited to hear her new releases.

With songs like “Set Fire to the Rain” and “Rolling in the Deep,” her sound in “21” became vocally-driven with an impressive range of piano solos and full orchestral instrumentals. But the stories told in each one of her songs also reflect an innate human struggle with heartbreak.

Being the writer of many songs deemed “breakup anthems” — see “Someone Like You” and “Send My Love (to Your New Lover)” — there’s something about Adele’s music that easily translates to our sometimes dormant, but charged, emotions regarding love.

Whether it’s unrequited or tied to an intense breakup, Adele expertly weaves these experiences into simple vocals that tug at each heartstring.

In 2012, she co-wrote “Skyfall,” the theme for the James Bond movie of the same name, firmly ensuring Adele as a household name.

Few people get to work on a movie franchise so wellknown globally, let alone compose the theme.

Her most recent album, “25,” which also peaked at No. 1 in its first week, showed Adele fully basking in her glory. The standout hit and first track of the al-

bum, “Hello,” currently has more than 1 billion streams on Spotify, and ties back to her original piano centered sound. After pulling her audience in with her old sound, she brilliantly mixes in a beat-driven “Water Under the Bridge” and finishes the album accompanied with a choir in “Sweetest Devotion.”

There are many other metrics I could have used to measure Adele’s success.

Anything from ticket sales to Twitter mentions would prove my point. But Adele’s true success lies in her actual art and how she weaves her killer voice and powerful lyrics into a unique style.

This is what keeps people coming back, and what has clearly made her one of the most successful artists of the 21st century.

Take a bite out of these: apple recipes for fall that are apple-solutely delicious Words by Alex Hardgrave ahardgra@iu.edu

Photos by Mallorey Daunhauer mjdaunha@iu.edu | @mal_daun

It’s cold outside, which means it’s time to stay warm in the kitchen.

To me, fall means apples and that’s why I put together a whole meal that incorporates the fruit.

Cheesy apple and oat meatloaf I chose a meatloaf because that feels like a quintessential comfort food. Plus, it’s fairly cheap for a college student on a budget.

Prep time: 20 minutes Cook: 1 hour Six servings

My Rating: I was dubious about this at first. I’m a meatloaf traditionalist, and I wasn’t sure how the sweetness of apples was going to mix with this, but, this recipe actually ended up being my favorite. I would make it with more cheese next time because I love cheese and the cheesiness did not come through for me. Another qualm I had was that the prep time was probably closer to 35 minutes for me, but maybe you’re a speedier chef than I am. This dish was the perfect mix of savory and sweet and the apples were definitely the star of the show here.

Ingredients 1 pound ground beef ½ pound ground pork 1 egg ⅓ cup finely chopped apple ½ cup finely chopped onion 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce (I left this out from my meatloaf because I don’t like it) ½ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon pepper 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese ½ cup bread crumbs ½ cup quick cooking oats.

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.

2. Mix the beef, pork, egg, apple, onion, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl until evenly mixed. Add the Cheddar cheese, bread crumbs and oats; mix again until evenly mixed. Pack the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan.

3. Bake in the preheated oven until it is no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees Fahrenheit (72 degrees Celsius). Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing to keep the meat from crumbling.

Sweet Potato and Apple Soup As I was thinking of a side dish, soup seemed perfect.

Prep and cook time: 40 minutes Four servings

Ingredients

My rating: I have never made soup before and was a bit worried about how this would go, but I think it turned out alright. It ended up being a bit thicker than I prefer, but it’s a mild sweet taste and I liked adding the nuts for some flavor (however I used almonds instead of walnuts because I bought the wrong thing). I’m not sure if it’s the recipe’s fault or mine that the consistency was a bit too thick, but I will have to attempt this again some day. Plus, this is the perfect leftover food because I have packed it into tupperware to store in the freezer for a quick dinner one day. It definitely made more than four servings so you could always make the recipe smaller if you wanted.

2 tablespoons olive oil 1 medium chopped onion Salt and pepper 2 pounds medium sweet potatoes (about 3 potatoes) 3 apples (Granny Smith or Pink Lady varieties) 2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth Blue cheese ⅓ cup walnuts Pinch ground nutmeg 1. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 6 to 8 minutes.

2. Add the sweet potatoes, chopped apple, broth, nutmeg and 1½ cups water. Bring to a simmer and cook, covered, until the potatoes are tender, 12 to 15 minutes.

3. Working in batches, transfer the mixture to a blender and puree until smooth, adding more water if necessary to reach the desired consistency. Alternatively, use a handheld immersion blender in the pot.

4. Serve the soup with the blue cheese, walnuts, crackers and sliced apples.

Perfect Apple Pie

No fall meal would be complete without a great dessert. I decided to keep it traditional with an apple pie, but keep it simple by using a premade crust.

Prep time: 30 minutes 8 servings

Ingredients 6 thinly sliced peeled apples ¾ cup sugar 2 tablespoons all purpose flour ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon ¼ teaspoon salt Ground nutmeg Lemon juice Pie crust 1. Heat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Place one pie crust in an ungreased 9 inch glass pie plate. Press firmly against side and bottom.

2. In a large bowl, gently mix filling ingredients; spoon into crust-lined pie plate. Top with second crust. Wrap excess top crust under bottom crust edge, pressing edges together to seal and “flute” the edges; (This is the fancy word for making the edges pretty). Cut slits or shapes in several places in the top crust.

3. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown.

Cover the edge of the crust with 2 to 3 inch wide strips of foil after the first 15 to 20 minutes of baking to prevent excessive browning. Cool on the cooling rack at least 2 hours before serving.

My Rating:

(It loses one star for my cooking fail.)

So, this is where I went wrong. My home apparently does not possess a circular pan, so I squished two of the crusts together to cover a square tin. Since the crust got thinned out, it got a bit burnt when I left it in the oven for the recipe’s time and I wasn’t able to have a crust on top. However, the pie filling itself was both cinnamon-y and sweet. I think the addition of the lemon juice makes it perfect.

FOOTBALL

Offense outperforms defense in Indiana’s loss

By Patrick Felts patfelts@iu.edu | @patrickjfelts

Indiana’s season of disappointment continued Saturday afternoon in College Park, Maryland, as the team lost 38-35 to Maryland and fell to 2-6 this season. It was Indiana’s first loss to an unranked opponent since Nov. 24, 2018.

Despite the loss, head coach Tom Allen was proud of his team’s performance through the injuries it has sustained.

“It’s tough when you got different quarterbacks and the third different guy starting, and that can be challenging without question,” Allen said. “Really proud of them for that. We just got to get all phases coming together at the same time.”

The Hoosiers came out of the gate slow, going threeand-out on their opening drive. On the ensuing punt, freshman James Evans kicked the ball just 25 yards, and the Terrapins capitalized on the short field, scoring for a quick touchdown to open up the scoring.

After going down 14-0 early, Indiana fought back to take a 17-14 lead in the third quarter.

Indiana showed signs of life early in the third quarter when graduate student running back Stephen Carr ran the ball 66 yards down the middle of the field for a touchdown to put the team up 1714. It was his longest run of the season, 40 yards more than

his previous long of 26.

Carr and the offense had their best game of the season in freshman quarterback Donaven McCulley’s first career start. The Hoosiers scored a season-high 35 points.

McCulley completed 14of-25 passes for 242 yards,

two touchdowns and did not throw any interceptions. He had the second most passing yards by an Indiana quarterback this season and Allen said he was impressed with McCulley’s showing.

“Donaven, he just made some good throws, gave us a

chance on a couple of deep balls,” Allen said. “Don is a good quarterback, he just needs to play. I’ve said all along he got a real talent but he’s young, he’s really, really young” While the Indiana offense had an unusually strong out-

ing, the defense had an uncharacteristically poor performance and gave up on big plays all afternoon.

The Hoosiers gave up 498 total yards to the Terrapins on Saturday, the secondhighest total of the season.

The Terrapins’ 38 points ties

the second-highest total Indiana has given up this season.

No matter what the Hoosiers did on offense, the Terrapins always answered when they got the ball back.

“It’s just really frustrating,” Allen said. “Just hard to be able to win on the road when you just give up those kinds of plays.”

Indiana’s inability to generate takeaways in addition to giving up big plays hurt his team in the game, Allen added.

The team dropped its fourth-consecutive game and snapped a three-game win streak against Maryland.

The Terrapins beat the Hoosiers Saturday for the first time since 2017.

Indiana now sits at 2-6 this season with its preseason hopes of a trip to Pasadena for the Rose Bowl a distant memory, and its hopes of making a bowl game on life support.

Indiana would need an undefeated month of November to make the postseason, including a win next week against No. 6 Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

One year after the Hoosiers reached new highs as a program, they are unsatisfied with the way their 2021 campaign has gone.

“I expect to score like every drive,” Carr said. “I know that’s not reasonable, but, you know what I mean. I’m not satisfied right now. It’s a close game. This will hurt a whole lot.”

CROSS COUNTRY

Men place 4th, women place 5th in Big Ten Championships

By Matt Sebree masebr@iu.edu | @mattsebree

Indiana cross country placed fourth in the men’s 5.2 mile race and fifth in the

women’s 6K race in the Big Ten Championships on Friday.

Despite the cold and wet weather, senior Arjun Jha secured First Team All-Big Ten

honors by finishing in sixth place with a time of 25:03.7.

After Jha, senior Jake Gebhardt finished in 23rd, junior Austin Haskett in 24th, and seniors Skylar Stidam and

Ben Veatch in 32nd and 34th, respectively.

“Everybody was out there doing their best and working together and working for our team,” Schmitt said. “Just us-

ing that as motivation, knowing that they’re all doing their job so I had to be out there doing my job as well and that really pushed me through the hard parts of the course.”

able to finish pretty highly.”

Head coach Ron Helmer said running together as a team throughout the race was a point of emphasis going into the meet. While the Hoosiers showed improvement, he said he thinks the runners have not reached their potential yet.

“In terms of where we’ve been, this was a big step forward and that’s what we were trying to get done,” Helmer said. “We don’t celebrate fourth and fifth but the Big Ten is pretty difficult in a lot of sports and cross country happens to be one of them.

To end up where we did is nothing to be ashamed of.”

All 14 conference teams competed in the women’s race. No. 6 Minnesota posted the lowest score to secure the Big Ten Championship. No. 22 Wisconsin finished next, followed by No. 20 Michigan State and No. 9 Michigan. Indiana posted the best score among teams entering the meet unranked and finished

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8 finish and Second Team AllBig Ten honors. Indiana’s scoring runners after Schmitt were sophomore Mariah Wehrle in 30th, senior Hannah Stoffel in 31st, junior Mikaela Ramirez in 32nd and senior Maddie Dalton in 51st.

At last season’s conference championships, Jha and Schmitt were both named Second Team All-Big Ten. Coming into this year’s competition, both runners were first across the line for the Hoosiers in the two meets each raced earlier this season. Both Jha and Schmitt credited the win to composure and encouragement from their teammates.

“It’s a much smaller race than we’ve been running the last few weeks so I knew I could be pretty patient,” Jha said. “Just kind of keep my eye on the front group and just wait and wait and wait and run hard late and I’d be

ahead of No. 25 Illinois.

In the men’s race, only 12 teams competed. No. 10-ranked Wisconsin won the men’s Big Ten Championship, No. 15 Michigan took second and No. 29 Minnesota took third. Indiana was the first unranked team across the line.

Jha said he hopes to carry over the momentum from this race to the team’s regional championship in a couple weeks.

“To be able to go out there and validate that hard work and run well in competition when it matters, it gives you a lot of confidence,” Jha said. “I think we’re really well-suited for what’s to come.”

Next up for Indiana cross country is the Hoosier Invitational on Nov. 5. The meet, hosted by Indiana at the Sam Bell Cross Country course, serves as the final race of the season for runners not competing in the Great Lakes Regional Championships on Nov. 12.

Lockwood, Indiana’s premier attacking midfielder, scored three goals this season.

‘It’s for him’

Late Indiana basketball fan’s family to attend games in his honor

Sheri Flick, 57, spent seven years on the waitlist for Indiana men’s basketball season tickets.

She finally got an email this July saying she had been chosen. The tickets were going to be a 25th wedding anniversary present for her husband, Scott, who was working in Texas at the time, so she gave him a phone call when she got the news.

“Before I could finish getting the words out of my mouth he said ‘I’m buying it, I’m buying it, I’m buying it,’” Sheri said.

Scott got sick on Aug. 5 and a positive COVID-19 test followed on Aug. 15, Sheri

said. On Aug. 21, Scott was taken to the hospital and put on a ventilator. His lung collapsed Sept. 6, the day his family was set to fly in to see him.

They were able to say their goodbyes before he died Sept. 7.

Sheri said he never found out exactly where the seats were because he was on a ventilator by the time they found out.

Scott loved camping, fishing, Indiana basketball and being with his family, Sheri said. He did everything for his family, and they plan on attending games this season in his honor.

Sheri grew up a Purdue fan but became an Indiana fan when she met Scott.

Their daughter Bethany, 24, graduated from IU during the pandemic in 2020.

Bethany remembers going to Hoosier Hysteria with her dad and sisters in late elementary school. Their seats were as far in the nosebleeds as they could be, but she said Scott just loved the experience.

“Just being in the element, right there you could tell how happy he was,” Bethany said.

She isn’t a huge sports fan, but she loved Indiana and would sometimes watch games with her dad because he loved it so much.

Scott, a diehard Indiana fan, planned on flying in every chance he got a break from work to come to the

HOO HOO

into Assembly Hall sounded overwhelming.

Sheri doesn’t think she’ll feel Scott’s presence but rather the excitement he would’ve had being there.

She said the family’s plan is to have someone attend every game.

“It’s for him,” Sheri said. “(We) just want to be able to do it in his name. For me it’s just going to be super difficult to walk in there and be able to hold the emotion because he would have been so happy.”

Sheri said Scott was skeptical about the vaccine and hadn’t gotten it yet, but Sheri said he planned on getting it before he got sick.

After 30 years of work in the pharmaceutical industry,

Scott didn’t believe a vaccine made as quickly as the COVID-19 vaccine could be safe, she said.

His oldest son Adam, Lexie’s twin Delaney and three of Scott’s best friends weren’t going to get the vaccine but changed their minds because of Scott’s death, Sheri said.

“The thing that all of us have always stressed is if his story can bring one person to change their mind — to help anybody, to save anybody — then it was worth it,” Sheri said.

He was buried in an Indiana three-quarter zip sweater with an Indiana Nerf football and Nerf basketball.

The flowers at his funeral were red and white, and all his pallbearers wore an Indiana shirt besides Adam, who wore an Indiana tie.

Scott passed just before realizing his dream of having Indiana men’s basketball season tickets, but the IUloving, family man’s legacy will live on through his family as they attend the games in his place this season.

“I’ll be able to feel him there,” Bethany said. “That’s probably one of the places he loved the most.”

Scott used to watch games with his dad, Sheri said, and it had been his dream forever to get season tickets for Indiana men’s basketball.

“He was just beyond thrilled just to know that he was actually going to get the tickets,” Sheri said.

IDS reporters predict 2021-22 men’s season

By Da’Qwan Dockery, Kamil Gut, Tristan Jackson sports@idsnews.com | @ids_sports

Indiana men’s basketball enters its 2021-22 season following a disappointing 1215 finish last season. It fired head coach Archie Miller and hired Mike Woodson, a former Indiana player under Bob Knight and a 20-year NBA coaching veteran, to lead the way.

Indiana opens its season at home against Eastern Michigan University at 6 p.m. Nov. 9 in Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. Before the team’s season opener, the Indiana Daily Student men’s basketball reporters share their predictions and analysis for the upcoming season.

Most valuable player Da’Qwan Dockery: It’s hard to say, but one answer that comes to mind is junior forward Trayce Jackson-Davis. This is the most anticipated season of his college career. Fans are expecting to see Jackson-Davis dominate on both ends of the floor carrying his team different heights. As a Karl Malone Award finalist, Jackson-Davis is expected to be a dangerous presence on the boards, being seventh in the Big Ten conference in both rebounds and blocks last year. I have no doubt he won’t exceed my expectations, but he has to be willing to step up and lead this Hoosier team into a winning culture this year.

Kamil Gut: There’s only one answer: Jackson-Davis.

He was a point and a rebound away from averaging 20 and 10 last season, which rightfully earned him preseason first-team All-American and first-team All-Big Ten honors.

Indiana completely runs through his leadership and presence on both ends of the court. The scariest part about Jackson-Davis is he hasn’t reached his full potential, and all signs point to Mike Woodson as the key to unlocking an offensive skill set opposing Big Ten defenses will be thrown off by.

With Woodson’s encouragement to shoot the ball more as part of a freeflowing, aggressive offensive game plan, JacksonDavis is poised for another highly productive season that makes the decision to enter the NBA Draft much more clear when this spring comes around.

Tristan Jackson: This one is a no-brainer. It’s JacksonDavis. Woodson said he’s been forcing Jackson-Davis to take jump shots in practice and improve his longrange shooting, and I feel for any team tasked with slowing him down if can knock those down consistently.

Jackson-Davis averaged 19 points last season without a reliable jumper and was named preseason first-team All-American heading into this one, so there’s no question in my mind this team will go as far as Jackson-Davis can take it.

help him reach his full potential on the offensive end I could see him playing a role similar to Draymond Green on the Golden State Warriors. I’m curious to see Thompson’s ability to distribute the ball, but if he develops as a ball handler it will stretch the floor and make room for Jackson-Davis in the paint, plus it will give Indiana’s shooters better looks from long range.

Newcomer of the year Dockery: Xavier Johnson has been on a mission since leaving Pitt. He’s an aggressive and versatile guard who is able to put it on the floor when the time is right.

In three seasons, Johnson started 81 of the 84 games, totaling 1,152 points, 311 rebounds, 415 assists and 124 steals in 84 games at Pitt.

Not only is he able to get going on the offensive end, but he is also a hard-nosed defensive player on the other.

Johnson is a tremendous addition for the Hoosiers, considering the team is rebuilding around being a defensive presence in the conference.

Gut: Senior forward Miller Kopp is fitting right in with his new teammates at Indiana, and he’ll need to provide the same shooting spark that led to a 36% 3-point field goal percentage across three seasons at Northwestern to gain the Hoosier faithful’s complete acceptance. Aside from his scoring abilities, which Indiana will desperately need to keep up with the Big Ten’s best offenses, Kopp brings a level of confidence that’s already rubbed off on his teammates. Look for him to make some timely and important shots over the course of the season.

Jackson: Don’t sleep on transfer center Michael Durr this season. Durr is a 7-foot senior who rebounds and blocks shots well, plus he’s not afraid to let a 3-pointer fly — he made four with the University of South Florida last season. One thing this team missed last season was a consistent big man who could come on in relief of Jackson-Davis, a role Durr can fill perfectly. Players like Kopp and Johnson may average more points and play more minutes, but the role Durr will have may be Indiana’s most important in terms of newcomers.

Game to watch Dockery: Indiana’s matchup against Michigan on Jan. 23. This will be a true test to see what this year’s roster can do against an opponent like the Wolverines.

It will test if this team has what it takes to beat March Madness contenders and get its place in the NCAA Tournament. Last season, the Hoosiers lost to the Wolverines with a final score of 7357. Hopefully, with Woodson as head coach this year, they’re prepared for a better outcome against the Wolverines this season.

Gut: Despite all the tasty matchups on the conference schedule to choose from, I think I speak for most fans when I say Purdue. Indiana hasn’t beaten Purdue since 2016, losing nine straight games in the time since. The first of Indiana’s annual pair of meetings against its instate rival comes on Jan. 20 at Assembly Hall, just over halfway into the schedule.

A double-digit losing streak to Purdue looms, and the importance of this rivalry will surely not be lost on any newcomers with Woodson at the helm. You simply have to win at least one of these two, preferably on home court.

Jackson: Indiana’s matchup with Syracuse University on Nov. 30 is going to be a big one. It will be a chance for Indiana to get its first resume-building win for the NCAA Tournament and a chance for Woodson to show what he can do at the college level against a solid, Power 5 program in Syracuse before it heads into conference play. The ACC/Big Ten Challenge is always a spectacle in college basketball, and Indiana will have the opportunity to prove it belongs in the NCAA Tournament conversation against a team that received votes in the preseason AP Poll.

Breakout player of the year Dockery: I would have to say senior guard Rob Phinisee. He has been the most underrated player since playing with the Hoosiers.

He was named team captain Record Prediction for a reason and it’s only a Dockery: Every year, I matter of time before he is always have high expectaable to show what he really tions for the Hoosiers and can do. His time is now. always end up being wrong Gut: There’s so many about how dominant the to choose from, including team will be. Miller’s rethe newcomers, but I’ll say placement gave me some Phinisee. He’s had to share hope to believe a change will the backcourt duties with come for Indiana. As crazy Armaan Franklin and Aljami as it sounds, I am expectDurham in years past, but ing the Hoosiers to be one both of those players have of the best basketball teams transferred. Even though in the conference. I won’t go he’ll be battling for minutes and touches with University of Pittsburgh transfer Xavier Johnson, he’s taken on a role as a leader for Indiana’s guards this season and more will be expected of him. Regardless of the numbers he puts up, the competition with Johnson will bring out the best version of him.

Jackson: Senior forward Race Thompson is someone I think will surprise a lot of people this season. Under the tutelage of Woodson, who said he wants Thompson handling and shooting the ball more, I believe he’ll see the biggest improvement from last season. He’s IDS FILE PHOTO BY ALEX DERYN solid on the defensive end Then-sophomore guard Rob Phinisee drives the ball in the second half already, so if Woodson can against Ohio State on Jan. 11, 2020, in Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.

crazy and say they will make a tournament run this year, but they will definitely make some noise to let teams know they are coming for it no matter the challenge.

I see the Hoosiers having a 20-11 record along with being one of the best teams in the Big Ten conference.

Gut: Call me optimistic, but I think a 20-win season isn’t out of the question, but I wouldn’t go any higher than 20-11. Indiana’s nonconference schedule doesn’t appear too challenging on paper aside from Syracuse and the University of Notre Dame, who can shock Indiana simply due to lack of other real competition in its first dozen games. The Big

Ten is very top heavy with teams like Michigan, Purdue, Ohio State and Illinois leading the pack, but the lower half looks unconvincing.

Wins against teams in rebuild mode like Minnesota, Iowa, Penn State and Northwestern are there for the taking, and if Indiana’s offense turns out to be as dynamic as it’s been hyped up, we won’t see the same amount of upsets Indiana teams in recent seasons suffered due to seriously poor stretches of offense.

Jackson: The thing about this Indiana team is it drastically underperformed with Miller last season. The team lost six straight games to end the season and it seemed like

Indiana’s fan base lost faith in Miller well before then.

That being said, I think Indiana’s roster is more than talented enough to make a tournament run, and Woodson brings the breath of fresh air this program needs to make it happen. With an AllAmerican forward roaming the paint and solid outside shooters for him to kick it out to, even if this team loses games, it’s going to be in exciting fashion. I think Indiana ends its regular season at 19-12 with a 10-10 record in the Big Ten. I think the team enters the Big Ten Tournament on the NCAA Tournament bubble and gets a bid with at least one win in the conference tournament.

Predicting Indiana women’s basketball’s 2021-22 season

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

Indiana women’s basketball wrapped up the greatest season in program history with a loss to the University of Arizona in the Elite Eight.

It was the Hoosiers’ first Elite Eight appearance in program history, and they’re hungry for more.

The good news for Indiana fans? Every member of the Hoosiers’ starting five in that game elected to return, including graduate student guard Ali Patberg, whose college basketball career has now spanned three United States presidencies.

Here are some of my takes on how the season could turn out:

Most valuable player: Grace Berger Indiana can credit a lot of its prowess on offense to senior guard Grace Berger, who found open teammates with precise passing or dealt the damage herself.

Berger led Indiana with assists last season with 124, 25 more than second-place Patberg. She was also more than capable of taking the ball to the basket herself, scoring the team’s second most points per game with 15.4. What if shots don’t fall?

Berger is there too, hauling in the team’s third most rebounds per game with 6.8.

Put all of that together and you have a well-rounded offensive threat who, by the way, led the nation in triple doubles with three.

Berger kept the offense flowing in her 27 consecutive starts last season and is poised to do the same this year.

Breakout player of the year: Aleksa Gulbe Indiana has its dominant guard duo in Berger and Patberg, but could use a more consistent second forward to take some of the load off of junior Mackenzie Holmes.

I’d say “Enter senior forward Aleksa Gulbe,” but that'd be a disservice to the resume she’s already built up.

Gulbe has started and contributed to the team since her sophomore year, but I expect her to contribute more as a scorer alongside Holmes, the team’s leader in points scored last

season. Last season, she upped her rebounds per game from 5.5 to 6.9, so it’s not out of the question to see her scoring ability take a leap as well.

Right now, Holmes is Batman. There are players who can serve as Robin, but Indiana’s offense would benefit significantly if someone like Gulbe can be a Superman.

Newcomer of the year: Mona Zaric Speaking of forwards who can contribute, look no further than freshman Mona Zaric. Indiana has a few impressive freshmen guards, but it’s hard to imagine them getting significant minutes this season behind Berger, Patberg and senior

Nicole Cardaño-Hillary.

Zaric has better odds of seeing some time and has a past you can’t overlook. Zaric has been named the U16 and U18 Cypriot League MVP four times, and averaged 21 points, eight rebounds and four assists with Keravnos B.C. and Sistema Rosa Pordenone in Europe.

When older forwards like Holmes, Gulbe and sophomore Kiandra Browne need some rest, look for Zaric to check in.

Game to watch Sophomore guard Caitlin Clark and her Iowa Hawkeyes will visit Assembly Hall on Feb. 20 during Indiana’s Senior Night. Iowa is ranked just below Indiana

at No. 9 in the preseason AP Poll.

Clark was a first-team All-American last season when Iowa fell to Indiana in both matchups between the two. Expect an improved Iowa team to try to play the spoiler in a potential shootout in Indiana’s final home game of the season.

Record Prediction With all of its returning production and the success head coach Teri Moren has enjoyed, I fully expect Indiana to run it back this season.

I see Indiana finishing at 25-4, with potential losses coming against Stanford University, Maryland, Iowa and a close one to North Carolina State University.

Stingy defense ‘in the DNA’ of IU women’s basketball

@EVILBYTHENEEDLE

Defense was one of the most prominent features of the 2020-21 Indiana women’s basketball team, propelling it into its first NCAA Tournament Elite Eight appearance in history. At Big Ten Media Days on Friday, head coach Teri Moren emphasized the importance of defense, specifically among her veteran players.

“That’s really what coach Moren has built this program around,” graduate student forward Ali Patberg said.

“That’s what we’re going to continue to do because we’ve had such success with it and that’s going to win us games in the future.”

With all five starters from the Elite Eight returning, including Patberg and graduate student guard Nicole Cardaño-Hillary, the majority of the Hoosiers understand what is at stake and how to achieve the same — if not greater — level of success compared to the previous season. Moren called Patberg a great leader for the team and someone younger players can look up to.

“Our vets get it,” Moren said. “They understand that getting in the gym, in addition to what’s required, will always set us apart.”

Patberg, returning for her

fifth year at Indiana after two at the University of Notre Dame, finished last season with 379 points and 104 rebounds. She is poised to be one of Indiana’s main leaders, knowing what it takes to be a successful team.

“We always, first and foremost, pride ourselves on defense,” Patberg said.

“Whether you’re having the best game of your life or the worst, you can always work hard and play good defense.”

Moren also pointed to Cardaño-Hillary and junior forward Mackenzie Holmes as being key components of Indiana’s defense last season.

Holmes led the team with 206 rebounds and 81 blocks, and Cardaño-Hillary tied senior guards Grace Berger and senior forward Alexa Gulbe for the team lead with 31 steals.

“Just the way she heats up the ball, the pressure she applies defensively, she really gets us going,” Moren said about Cardaño-Hillary’s style of play. “We knew we were going to get a bucket-getter with her, but what she turned into was just a phenomenal on-the-ball defender.”

Berger, who finished second on the team with 183 rebounds, played similarly to Cardaño-Hillary in terms of strategy, slipping smoothly between opposing players to steal balls and surprise the

other team.

Berger was a member of the gold medal-winning USA Basketball AmeriCup team over the summer, something both she and Moren feel helped her confidence and ability.

“When she returned you could tell she’s at a whole ‘nother level right now, not only with the way she’s playing, but her confidence,” Moren said. “No one has worked harder than she has on her game.”

Berger perfectly encapsulates the core of her team — she works hard, has immense talent and has been very successful so far in her collegiate career. And yet, she wants more. She wants to keep improving and get all the way to the national championship come March Madness.

She said she’s playing with a chip on her shoulder, and so are the rest of the Hoosiers. Moren said they know they still have work to do and are focused on showing up every day to improve bit by bit to eventually reach their end goal.

“I think, personally, we feel like we still haven’t accomplished anything,” Berger said. “We still feel like we’re that blue-collar team that hasn’t done anything, so we’re just showing up every single day trying to get one percent better.”

Indiana men’s team ready for Mike Woodson

By Kamil Gut kgut@iu.edu | @GutKamil

It’s already November, which means Indiana men’s basketball will soon play real, meaningful games again. It seems like just the other day fans were packed into Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall for Hoosier Hysteria, getting their first looks at what this team can be capable of through skills competitions and holding in emotions during Isiah Thomas’ speech about his own time as an Indiana player, but that took place Oct. 2, more than a month ago.

Oh, how the time flies in anticipation of the first season with Indiana fans allowed back in Assembly Hall since the hiatus caused by COVID-19. The fall months of preseason and secret scrimmages will be a memory of the past, and Indiana’s exciting group of players — full of returnees and newcomers — will finally be on display under the lights, learning how to mesh together in hopes of righting the wrongs of recent years.

This historic program, which has suffered through the ups and downs of a five-year drought without a March Madness appearance, has been given a fresh start. Mike Woodson came back to coach at his alma mater and has received blessings from former teammate Thomas and legendary former coach Bob Knight during a preseason practice session.

Here’s what to expect before Indiana’s 2021-22 season gets underway Nov. 9 against Eastern Michigan University: The feeling is mutual, Hoosier fans All-American junior forward Trayce Jackson-Davis headlines a group of Indiana players who can’t contain their excitement about getting the season underway.

It was Jackson-Davis’ de-

cision to return for a third year, rather than taking his talents to the NBA, that sparked a chain reaction of players wanting to come play for Indiana.

However, none of it would’ve been possible without some convincing on the part of Woodson, whose tough love toward his players seems to be unlocking their potential. His connection with them from day one has already brought out their true personalities — as seen from their demeanors and words at Big Ten Media Days — and the best versions of themselves on the court should follow.

Woodson’s prevailing message to his upperclass-

men — the likes of JacksonDavis, senior guard Rob Phinisee and senior forward Race Thompson — has been blunt: don’t be afraid to shoot the ball more. He’s entrusted these three with leadership responsibilities, hoping their newfound confidence will rub off on the rest of the role players.

Five newcomers — two freshmen and three transfers — were convinced by Woodson to play for the Hoosiers since he took control of the team, and they will have plenty to say in how this season plays out.

Junior forward Miller Kopp, senior guard Xavier Johnson and senior center Michael Durr all decided to

Basketball job a ‘no-brainer’ for new coach Woodson Tristan Jackson tripjack@iu.edu | @trist_jackso

Mike Woodson didn’t want anything to do with coaching when he retired from playing in the NBA in 1991. He was content heading back to Bloomington, where he played on the Indiana men’s basketball team from 1976 to 1980 under former coach Bob Knight, and working alongside former Indiana All-American Scott May in real estate. Then he got a phone call.

Hall of Fame coach Cotton Fitzsimmons, who was in his second stint as the Phoenix Suns head coach, was on the other end of the line.

Fitzsimmons wanted Woodson to come on as an assistant coach while he coached during the summer league.

“He said, ‘Hey Woody, we can play golf every day,’ so I said ‘I’m on my way’,” Woodson said at Big Ten Basketball Media Days on Friday.

Thirty minutes into his first practice, Fitzsimmons told Woodson he’d see him later because he was going to play golf. Confused, Woodson asked if he was coming along with him.

Fitzsimmons said no, someone needed to stay back and coach the team.

“I knew nothing about coaching — it was one of the most embarrassing times of my life as a coach,” Wood-

son said. “He left me there and I’m like, ‘Shit, I played 11 years in the NBA and I have no clue what I’m doing from a coaching standpoint.’”

Woodson said the players probably thought he didn’t know what he was doing, but from then he caught the coaching bug.

After 34 years in the NBA between playing and coaching, Woodson had the opportunity to return home for good this spring.

IU Athletics Director Scott Dolson met Woodson in New York City, where he was serving as an assistant coach for the Knicks. At the meeting, Woodson pitched to Dolson why he should be the next head coach of the Indiana men’s basketball team.

“When this job opened, it was a no-brainer for me,” Woodson said. “This is a very unique job and I know the dynamics of this job because I played here and I’ve watched it over the years.”

He was hired as the 30th head coach in program history a few weeks later. He said Friday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis that Indiana was the only college coaching job he’s considered.

Now a few months into the job, Woodson said he has a feel for the college game, thanks partially to a trip to the Bahamas this summer where the team played two

scrimmages. After bringing in three transfers and two freshmen, the team was able to bond and Woodson said he left feeling good about how his team was progressing.

Woodson said the hardest challenge he’s faced so far is getting the team on the same page and getting his players to buy into what he throws at them.

“I can’t change because I have a young team, I gotta be who I am,” Woodson said.

“They’re doing everything we ask them to do, like I always say with young players, and Knight used to say it: ‘Hey, just because you think you play hard, there’s always another level.’”

Woodson inherited a program that hasn’t reached the NCAA Tournament since 2016 and finished 12-15 last season. Indiana tied for 10th in the Big Ten last season with a 7-12 record in conference play.

He said Friday he felt hurt and frustrated watching the Hoosiers in the last few years, but being a coach he understands how hard it is. He added it’s not in his nature to bad mouth another coach.

Ultimately, Woodson came back to Indiana to help the program do better.

“I gotta make sure we can make a major move and get this team back on top,” Woodson said.

ence he knew all too well while playing for Indiana.

The Big Ten boasts five teams — Michigan, Purdue, Illinois, Ohio State and Maryland — in the Associated Press’ preseason top 25 poll. Despite the fact Indiana received the secondmost votes outside the top 25 after Michigan State, the teams mentioned have created a sizable gap in recent years that will be tricky for Indiana to close.

To name a few, Michigan sophomore center Hunter Dickinson, Illinois junior center Kofi Cockburn, and the Purdue duo of sophomore guard Jaden Ivey and senior forward Trevion Williams will all be returning to their respective teams.

All the teams who made the NCAA Tournament come into this season with their own hunger to improve on their disappointing first-and second-round exits — aside from Michigan’s Elite Eight appearance.

Indiana’s sweep over BC Mega in its preseason exhibition games was encouraging, but its usual, grueling Big Ten schedule will be the ultimate test of Indiana’s will despite the talented players it added over the summer.

Before the bulk of conference play begins, though, Indiana will face nonconference opponents in 11 of its first 13 games — most notably Syracuse University on Nov. 30 and the University of Notre Dame in the Crossroads Classic on Dec. 18. Woodson has spoken at length about what he wants his team to look like, and the first half of the schedule will shed some light on Indiana’s true identity.

No matter how successful the Hoosiers are in the grand scheme of things, one thing is certain: they’ll be entertaining and dynamic on offense again with the pieces they’ve surrounded their stars with, taking part in some unforgettable games.

Jackson-Davis earns All-Big Ten, All-American

By Tristan Jackson tripjack@iu.edu | @trist_jackson

COLIN KULPA | IDS

Indiana fans cheer as the women's basketball team takes the floor Dec. 20, 2020, at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. Fans at Assembly Hall will be expected to wear masks as long as the county's mandate is in place.

Fans return to mask mandate

By Patrick Felts patfelts@iu.edu | @patrickjfelts

When fans return to Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall for the 2021-22 men’s and women’s basketball seasons, many things will be back to normal in the arena for the first time in nearly two years.

The pep band will play “William Tell Overture” during the under eight minute timeout in the second half.

The Hoosiers will take the court in their candy-striped warm up pants and 17,222 cream-and-crimson-clad fans will scream at the top of their lungs for their Hoosiers.

As fans make their longawaited return to the building Indiana basketball has called home since 1970, crimson jerseys will not be the only apparel items of choice in Assembly Hall.

However, the one differ-

ence for fans in attendance this season will be the sea of masks covering the faces that stare back at them in the arena, a new requirement for fans in the COVID-19 era.

Last month, the Monroe County Board of Commissioners extended the county’s mask mandate until the Indiana State Department of Health issues a blue advisory level and cases drop below 50 per 100,000 residents.

Fans at Assembly Hall will be expected to follow the county’s mandate on indoor activities, Jeremy Gray, IU’s senior associate athletics director, wrote in an email.

While masking will be new to basketball games, other indoor sports that have already started their season, such as volleyball, have already implemented the policy.

Masks were also required at Hoosier Hysteria last month. Outdoor sports, such as soccer and football, have not required masks this season.

Masks will be required in Assembly Hall, but no social distancing rules are in place, meaning the stands will be packed again after 20 months of empty seats. The only difference compared to pre-COVID games will be face coverings.

“I don’t think (it’s a problem),” sophomore David Fitzgerald said. “I’m pretty used to the masks indoors now at this point. It might be a little weird if you’re cheering, but I think it should be fine.”

While plenty of fans are unbothered by wearing a mask and are just excited to return to the arena, others are not looking forward to masking up in Assembly Hall, in part because they

have not been required to wear a mask at other full capacity outdoor sporting events in the fall, such as football and soccer.

“It’s gonna be weird,” sophomore Charlie Hill said. “I assume a lot of fans are not gonna be following that rule. It’ll depend on how strictly the ushers are enforcing it.”

Even if masks being required in the stands make things feel different for fans, Hoosier fans are eager to see what the 2021-22 season holds for both teams.

Indiana men’s basketball begins a new era under head coach Mike Woodson and Indiana women’s basketball looks to push for a national championship after reaching the Elite Eight a season ago.

“I’m ready to get back,” sophomore Ryan James said. “I think it’ll feel like old times.”

Trayce Jackson-Davis, a junior forward on the Indiana men’s basketball team, was named preseason firstteam All-American by the Associated Press, according to a release Monday.

Jackson-Davis is one of two Big Ten players on the team. Illinois junior center Kofi Cockburn was also selected. University of California, Los Angeles junior guard Johnny Juzang, Gonzaga University junior forward Drew Timme and Villanova University graduate student guard Collin Gillespie join Jackson-Davis and Cockburn to round out the team.

Jackson-Davis returned to Indiana following a sophBy Kamil Gut kgut@iu.edu | @GutKamil

Indiana men’s basketball junior forward TrayceJackson Davis was named to the preseason All-Big Ten team by voting members of the media, the conference announced in a release Wednesday.

This is Jackson-Davis’ second consecutive selection to the preseason firstteam All-Big Ten in the media poll. He was named first-team All-Big Ten by the Associated Press and second-team All-Big Ten by the coaches’ poll last year.

Jackson-Davis was also named preseason firstteam All-American by the AP on Monday. He and Illinois junior center Kofi Cockburn are the only two Big Ten players on the team, which consists of only five players.

In his sophomore season, Jackson-Davis averaged both 19.1 points and nine rebounds, a combina-

omore campaign where he averaged 19.1 points, nine rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game. Those averages were good for fourth, second and fifth in the Big Ten, respectively.

He made first-team AllBig Ten in the media and AP polls last season, as well as second-team All-Big Ten in the coaches’ poll. JacksonDavis was a finalist for the Wooden Award and Karl Malone Award, which are given to the nation’s best player and best power forward, respectively. Timme won the Karl Malone award last season.

Led by Jackson-Davis, Indiana will open its season against Eastern Michigan University at 6 p.m. Nov. 9 at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall in Bloomington. tion no other player in the Big Ten managed to reach.

Jackson-Davis was one of five players named to the team unanimously out of the 11 selected. Cockburn, who was named the Big Ten preseason Player of the Year, Michigan sophomore center Hunter Dickinson, Ohio State junior forward E.J. Liddell and Purdue sophomore guard Jaden Ivey were the other unanimous selections.

Illinois sophomore guard Andre Curbelo, Iowa sophomore forward Keegan Murray, Maryland senior guard Eric Alaya, Michigan freshman guard Caleb Houstan, Purdue senior forward Trevion Williams and Rutgers senior guard Ron Harper Jr. were the six other players who made the team.

Indiana’s road back to its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2016 begins against Eastern Michigan University at 6 p.m. Nov. 9 at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall in Bloomington.

Indiana women’s team earns preseason honors, ranked

By Patrick Felts patfelts@iu.edu | @patrickjfelts

IU women’s basketball ranked No. 8 in preseason AP Poll After the best NCAA Tournament run in team history last season, Indiana women’s basketball will start the 2021-22 season ranked No. 8 in the nation, according to the preseason AP Poll.

No. 8 is the highest AP Poll ranking in program history, usurping the team’s previous high ranking of No. 9, which came last season.

The team is also ranked for a 38th consecutive week, besting another program record.

The ranking marks a fourth consecutive season in which the Hoosiers have been ranked in the preseason AP Poll.

Women’s team set for challenging schedule

By Amanda Foster amakfost@iu.edu | @amandafoster_15

Indiana women’s basketball is coming off a record-breaking season after advancing to the Elite Eight for the first time in program history in the NCAA Tournament. The team is ranked No. 8 in the preseason AP Poll, marking the fourthconsecutive season in which Indiana is ranked going into the season.

The Hoosiers are joined on the preseason AP Poll by four other Big Ten teams.

Three other teams on their schedule are also ranked in the top 25.

“Our non-conference schedule is once again daunting,” head coach Teri Moren said Oct. 8 at Big Ten Media Days. “But it’s only going to prepare us for Big Ten play.”

Indiana’s non-conference opponents include Stanford University and North Carolina State University, both of which are in the top five in the preseason AP Poll.

Indiana begins its regular season at 7 p.m. Nov. 10 against Butler University after an exhibition game on Nov. 5 against the University of Indianapolis. Indiana’s home opener will be against No. 13 Kentucky on Nov. 14.

Kentucky was the No. 4 seed in the NCAA Tournament last season, falling to Iowa in the second round of play. Iowa also enters the 2021-22 season on the preseason AP Poll at No. 9.The Hoosiers and the Hawkeyes will face off two times this season on Jan. 23 and Feb. 20.

Another notable Big Ten opponent for Indiana comes in the form of NC State, which Indiana handed a loss in the third round of the NCAA Tournament. NC State entered the tournament as the No. 1 seed.

Entering the season, NC State is ranked No. 5 in the AP Poll and will travel to Bloomington on Dec. 2 to play Indiana in the Big Ten/ ACC Challenge.

Indiana will match up

The IU women's basketball team huddles before a game against Purdue on March 6, 2021, at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. Indiana begins the 2021 season with an exhibition game against the University of Indianapolis on Nov. 5 at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.

against its highest preseason-ranked opponent in No. 3 Stanford University when the team travels to the Bahamas for the Baha Mar Pink Flamingo Classic. The two teams will meet at 1:30 p.m. Nov. 25.

Stanford beat the University of Arizona to win the NCAA Tournament title last season. Arizona beat Indi-

ana in the Elite Eight.

The Hoosiers begin their all-Big Ten schedule Dec. 30 against Rutgers. They will play Iowa, Illinois, Purdue, Nebraska and Maryland twice between Dec. 30 and Feb. 25, closing the season with an away game against Maryland in College Park.

Maryland is ranked No. 4 and made it to the third

round of the NCAA Tournament last season. Indiana has lost its last 11 matchups against Maryland in their matchup history.

Two other Big Ten teams on Indiana’s schedule are ranked going into the season with No. 11 Michigan and No. 17 Ohio State. Moren said at Big Ten Media Days that with the athleticism

present in the conference, women’s basketball in the conference has incredible talent, with multiple conference teams featuring players on a variety of preseason watchlists.

“I think you’re really missing out if you don’t either physically go watch and/or turn the Big Ten channel on,” she said. “It is

physical, it is fast-paced, and we’re athletic.”

Moren and her team enter the season with the mindset of always facing the best of the best and using those experiences to prepare themselves for another NCAA Tournament run.

“They’re going to be great battles, night in and night out,” Moren said.
