ELECTION Public safety Hamilton: “Our police department has done an excellent job adding the downtown resource officers to focus on a community approach to policing in the downtown area. I’d like to extend community policing across the city. We have had an increase in violent crime in the city, and it’s very important that we address it head-on, which is what I intend to do. I might add I will encourage the IU and city police department to continue strong collaboration and cooperation.” Turnbull: “A general presence makes a huge difference, and so I am very much in favor of a sub-station

downtown, maybe along Kirkwood somewhere, and just a general greater presence of the police. When we develop the Switchyard Park, it would be great if we could increase the presence there and maybe put ... a stopover point, a get-warm point or a gathering point for the police. One of my points in my campaign is managing growth ... so we’re going to have to increase our police force, there’s no doubt about it.” I-69 construction Hamilton: “I-69 is coming, and it’s going to be a challenge and an opportunity to our city. No. 1, we need to work very closely with the

county government and our region to plan for its impact. As mayor, I will work closely to ensure that we get positive results, not negatives, in development and jobs and housing impact. But it will take collaboration with our neighbors.” Turnbull: “First, let me tell you that the completion of I-69 itself will provide growth and jobs, because, you know, it’ll be the distribution hub. ... The entry to the city and the exits to the city are very, very critical. We need to make it look nice. We need to put growth where we want to put it ...

$3.8 MILLION Three attendees share their 25th annual IU Dance Marathon experiences By Sarah Gardner gardnese@indiana.edu | @sarahhhgardner

Cashie Rohaly had been at the IU Dance Marathon since 8 p.m. Friday night. By 4 p.m. Saturday, her voice was hoarse, and her feet were sore. As part of the entertainment committee, Rohaly worked at IUDM for the full 36-hours, with a brief break from her committee early Saturday morning. She spent her time planning skits, checking sound systems and keeping everyone on schedule. With so much to do, Rohaly put on a pair of rollerblades to move from one place to the next more quickly. “And I’ve got the knees of a 90-year-old man, so the rollerblades are actually making them feel better, too,” said Rohaly, a junior in Alpha Xi Delta. After months of preparation by 1,300 committee members and 36 hours of dancing by 2,700 students, the 2015 IU Dance Marathon raised $3.8 million. More than 50 families from Riley Hospital for Children attended the event. This year was the 25th annual marathon, and it has grown to include year-round

fundraising and partner dance marathons at high schools throughout Indiana. Rohaly was a dancer in the 2014 marathon with her sorority pledge class, and she enjoyed it so much she decided to apply for a committee this year. The 2015 dance marathon is a culmination of the work she began in February. A “Riley kid,” child patients of Riley Hospital for Children, where money raised at IUDM is donated, had covered Rohaly with red face paint. Her voice was hoarse from all the cheering and shouting, she said. In a rare moment of free time, she wrote encouraging notes to other members of her committee. “It’s our job to entertain,” she said. “It’s so important to get everyone excited and keep spirits high during an event like this.” With all of the work and effort from students that went into the event, Rohaly said, to her, the most impressive part of IUDM was still the kids from Riley with whom she was able to interact. “Watching them hang out with college students and listening to them speak in front of thousands of older kids is amazing,” she said. “They’re all just so interesting. It blows my

mind.” She watched a group of students and children dancing in the middle of the floor for a moment. Then, with more work to do to keep the marathon running, Rohaly rollerbladed away with her binder in hand. * * * Erik Galloway, a senior in service fraternity Alpha Phi Omega, danced even when he was just walking around. “The best way to stay awake is to just keep dancing,” he said. “And I love dancing. It’s the best part of this whole thing.” This was Galloway’s first and only year participating in IUDM. The only regret he had about the experience was that he didn’t try to do it sooner, he said. He arrived at 8:45 a.m. Saturday, and eight hours later, he was still full of energy. “Every time you finish an activity, you kind of want to calm down,” Galloway said. “But you know you can’t, because then you’ll just get

‘Rocky Horror Picture Show’ draws full crowd By Maia Rabenold mrabenol@indiana.edu | @maialyra

Boisterous cheers and applause echoed through the Buskirk-Chumley Theater on Saturday night, and the show hadn’t even started. The screening of the “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” started with an audience member costume contest. The emcee selected the final three, and then the audience voted by shouting its appreciation. Jeremy Bryan, a local artist, dressed as Dr. Frank-N-Furter complete with fishnet tights, black pumps, corset and curly black wig. Bryan was the costume contest winner.

“This was my first time coming to a live show, so I went all out,” Bryan said. “I’ve been trying to go for years.” “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” premiered in 1975 and has since attained status as a cult classic. Attendees could purchase prop bags, which included all the materials to interact with the movie. When there was a wedding on screen, rice was thrown throughout the theater. When it was raining in the film, audience members put newspapers over their heads to protect themselves from their fellow moviegoers who were armed with squirt guns to simulate a storm. “I know it has a huge cult

following, and it surpassed all of my expectations in terms of crowd participation,” IU student Lilly Griffin-Duncan said. The film contains a progressive undercurrent for the time period in which it was created, with Dr. FrankN-Furter and his henchmen hailing from the planet Transexual in the galaxy Transylvania and Rocky Horror himself climbing out of a tank of rainbow colored water to celebrate his “first day out.” Every person in the theater took the Rocky Horror pledge before the screening, pledging allegiance to the lips of the Rocky Horror Picture Show, with sins of flesh for all. The entire audience got to its feet

to dance along to musical numbers, and almost every line in the film was repeated by members of the audience, famous lines shouted at the top of their lungs. “I thought the crowd participation was really great,” IU student Dakota Langdon said. “I had some trouble following along, and I lost some of my props, but overall it was super fun.” Even with the enthusiastic crowd participation, Langdon said the film itself is enough to draw fans back. “I’ve been a fan of ‘Rocky Horror’ since high school,” Langdon said. “At the very least, I knew I was going to get to see a movie that I’ve seen a million times and love to death.”

IU sets Big Ten record for wins By Zain Pyarali zpyarali@indiana.edu | @ZP_IDS

In mid-October the IU field hockey program locked up a Big Ten conference berth after missing out on the postseason tournament a season ago. Just making the tournament was one of the main goals for the Hoosiers during the preseason in August, after finishing 2014 with a 9-8 record — 1-7 in the Big Ten. After IU (9-9, 5-3) earned its third shutout victory of the season against Rutgers (7-10, 0-8), it didn’t only lock up the No. 3 seed in the conference tournament, but it also set the program record for most conference wins in a single season. “To get the shutout win, our defense again pulled through for us,” IU Coach Amanda Janney said. “They had to make some huge saves against a very aggressive and talented Rutgers team. We’re really proud of the team for so many great contributions.” The goalkeeping of freshman Noelle Rother was once again the highlight performance of the game for the Hoosiers, as she notched her third shutout of her young career. IU looked as if it was going to be down in a 1-0 hole early in the first half when Rutgers was awarded a penalty stroke. Rother guessed correctly on the stroke and dove to her right, making a dynamic stick save to keep the Scarlet Knights off the board. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen a stroke save like that before,” Janney said. “She’s just doing things that most goalkeepers can’t do. It builds our confidence on defense and she’s just working so hard in practice.” The Hoosiers finally broke the scoreless draw with just under five minutes remaining in the first half. As IU earned a penalty corner, the Hoosiers went to their favorite goal-scoring play with a straight shot being taken at the top of the circle. This time it was senior defender Sydney Supica who rattled the back of the cage after sophomore forward Maddie Latino inserted the ball to senior forward Rachel Stauffer, who made the assist. “It’s a lot of muscle memory, we practice that so often that you have to have the mindset that when you hit the ball, it’s going to go in,” Supica said. “We’ve practiced them enough this season that we try to make sure that every corner is a goal.” IU made sure it executed its penalty corner plan one more time in the game as junior defender Kate Barber found the cage off a straight shot in the 57th minute to seal the victory for the Hoosiers, 2-0. The eight-save performance by Rother was filled with highlight reel stops, giving her 106 saves on the season, making her third in program history on the single-season save list.
