Though the most recent Republican Party presidential debate was only 13 days ago, the eight highestpolling conservative candidates are gearing up for another round. The Fox Business and Wall Street Journal “I think Republican debate it’s critical will take place at 9 p.m. Tuesday. that The candidates students in this debate have especially an average poll have an that gives them at least 2.5 percent interest of the vote in the in public four most recent policy. It national polls on Nov. 4. The involves candidates by dethem.” scending order in Mark Fraley, a polls are: Donald politics professor Trump, Ben Carin the IU School son, Marco Rubio, of Public and Ted Cruz, Jeb Environmental Affairs Bush, Carly Fiorina, John Kasich and Rand Paul. In the secondary debate, which will be aired earlier in the evening, Chris Christie, Mike Huckabee, Bobby Jindal and Rick Santorum will debate. “I do not expect much from the Republican debate,” said Sumit Ganguly, the director of IU’s Center on American and Global Security, in an email. “The prior debates have been most unenlightening and vacuous.” Ganguly said Kasich, who is trailing in the polls, is one of the only Republican candidates who tried to steer previous debates toward serious policy positions. Mark Fraley, a politics professor in the School of Public and Environmental Affairs, agreed the Republican debates have not been helpful. “For these debates I think I would personally like to see some level of accountability for Ben Carson, SEE DEBATES, PAGE 5

The Venue to honor birthday of legend By Sanya Ali siali@indiana.edu | @siali13

Because Hoagy Carmichael’s birthday falls in the month of November, some musicians and a local gallery are planning to come together to celebrate the popular music legend. The Venue Fine Art & Gifts will welcome jazz pianist Monika Herzig for its “Happy Birthday, Hoagy” celebration starting at Monica 5:30 p.m. today at the Herzig gallery. The event will include musical performance, information on Carmichael and a cake. Herzig, a senior lecturer in the School of Public and Environmental Affairs, said she tries to commemorate Carmichael’s life and accomplishments around this time every year. “Hoagy Carmichael is Bloomington’s legacy, so we have to pay him some tribute,” Herzig said. “I’ve led several of these initiatives before at other places. I also have a lot of students who need extra credit, so I needed to do something for them. Great music, great cause.” During the event, Herzig said, she will share some lesser-known facts about the musician, such as he actually studied law during his time at IU, among many other facts. Carmichael’s style flourished at a time when jazz was just gaining popularity and steam in the U.S., Herzig said. “He wrote songs right on the verge when jazz came up from New Orleans and started creeping into popular music,” Herzig said. “He has this combination of ragtime flavor going into jazz, and it’s a really unique approach. Some of his songs just endured as major evergreens, some of those songs that just changed the world.” SEE HOAGY, PAGE 5

HACKED

Email phishers target rget IU students By Carley Lanich clanich@indiana.edu @carleylanich

It all begins with an email, Tim Goth of IU’s Public Safety and Institutional Assurance said. In carefully crafted emails, hackers can pose as the University, University Information Technology Services or even students to request private information, such as account passwords, an IU passphrase, telephonee numbers and more. It’s what email phishers use se to gain access to personal accounts, such as those for banking ing or university information. “It’s basically someone trying to trick another person into believing the authenticity of a message, and then they are using that to gain information or to gain access,” Goth said. Von Welch, director of IU’s Center for Applied Cybersecurity Research, said email phishers typically use something scary in their emails to prompt quick action from respondents. Such emails could claim IU accounts may be frozen or email discontinued if personal information is not shared. Welch said online banking is one of the most common schemes used. Hackers can use the information to drain victims’ bank accounts or launder money. Goth said once an attacker is given a corresponding IU username and passphrase, they gain access to University account information such as the bursar, meal plans, scheduling information and more. Phishers could next try to share or sell this information for profit or disrupt personal accounts. Frequently, email phishers will use contact information from one compromised account to expand their network and prey on a wider network. Some send out thousands of

emails per day. While Goth said it’s impossible to prevent receiving the malicious emails, the best thing a student can do is to be aware. Do not open emails from unknown addresses and do not give out personal information. “We live in a society where we’re kind of programmed to keep that inbox down to zero or the notifications on your phone down to zero,” Goth said. “But just because you have an unread email in your inbox doesn’t necessarily mean you should open that email, especially if it’s not from someone you’re expecting an email from.” Welch said 95 percent of attacks result from the victim’s clicking a suspicious link in an email and entering a username and password. He said the best way to prevent an account from being hacked is to google the website address for any business an email might claim to be before following a link. “It’s mostly just being a little bit leary of the links in the emails you receive,” Welch said. Goth said IU and UITS will SEE PHISHING, PAGE 5

Hoosiers defeat Knights by double digits By Michael Hughes michhugh@indiana.edu | @MichaelHughes94

The Hoosiers weren’t happy. They won by double digits and led for all but 56 seconds. But IU should have played better against Bellarmine on Monday night at Assembly Hall, and both senior guard Kevin “Yogi” Ferrell and junior forward Troy Williams know it. The Hoosiers beat the Knights 73-62, but led 35-20 at halftime. This translates to the fact that the Hoosiers allowed 42 points in the second half to an opponent who looked helpless for most of the first half. “We got outscored in the second half by four, 42-38,” Williams said. “That’s huge. That’s not even a Big Ten team. It’s a good team don’t get me wrong, but it’s not even a Big Ten team.” The offense was fine throughout. Ferrell led all scorers with 21 points and added eight rebounds. Williams also scored 20 points and grabbed eight rebounds, five of them offensive. Overall, IU out-rebounded

For a stretch of 7:46 in the first half, IU kept Bellarmine scoreless. During that period the Hoosiers extended their lead from 9-7 to 27-7, including stopping the Knights on 11 straight possessions. “I thought we did a really good job of being aggressive,” IU Coach Tom Crean said. “We had a lot of deflections in that time span.” With 8:18 left in the half, after a pair of successful free throws by senior forward Max Bielfeldt, IU switched to a full-court press. Crean yelled at his team to “heat it up,” and the Hoosiers responded. IU forced a turnover, went down the court and extended the
