World-famous cellist Yo-Yo Ma performs at the IU Auditorium on Wednesday evening. Ma has produced more than 90 albums of which 18 have won Grammy Awards.

Yo-Yo Ma and others performed Wednesday night in “Musical Perspectives on the Cultures of BRIC”

By Maia Rabenold mrabenol@indiana.edu | @maialyra

There was no introduction when YoYo Ma walked onto the stage Wednesday night with his $2.5-million, nearly 300-year-old cello in hand. But every person in the full auditorium knew exactly who it was, and he smiled out at a sea of clapping hands.

Born in France, Ma began playing on the world stage at the age of 5 in 1961. He founded the Silkroad Ensemble in 2000, and from this collaboration between artists from more than 20 different coun-

tries came the BRIC project.

“BRIC is the political and economic coalition of the new markets, economies and powerhouses of Brazil, Russia, India and China,” said Lee Feinstein, dean of the School of Global and International Studies.

Joining Ma onstage during Wednesday’s performance were British pianist Kathryn Stott, Russian and Israeli violinist Johnny Gandelsman, Brazilian guitarists and brothers Sergio and Odair Assad, Chinese sheng and bawu player Wu Tong, and Indian “talking drums” or tabla player Sandeep Das.

“These musicians are my dear friends and part of my musical family,” Ma said Wednesday morning during a presentation at the School of Global and International Studies. “I think of our appearance onstage not only as a performance with wonderful colleagues, but also as a family reunion.”

The show started with Ma and Stott onstage, and more members were added until all of the ensemble shared the spotlight together. They played as old friends,

“Taken together, wonder, openness, and empathy are an incredibly powerful effect of culture. They are an antidote to fear and darkness.”

IUSA deals with funding in executive stipends

By Nyssa Kruse nakruse@indiana.edu | @nyssakruse

Following an unexpected drop in funding, executive stipends have been the subject of debate within the IU Student Association this semester.

Stipends are payments made to the IUSA president, vice president of Congress, vice president of administration, treasurer and chief of staff.

IUSA President Anne Tinder said the stipends are intended to act as an equalizing force for potential executives, so students who work to pay for their education can

run for office. Executives might not have time to work another job 20 to 25 hours a week, so the stipend is intended to compensate for that, she said.

“It’s been really important to me throughout that everyone concerned with this issue realizes that the point of the stipend is to keep student government accessible to students who otherwise would need part-time jobs,” Tinder said.

According to executive members, the traditional stipend has been $3,000 per person. Executives can decline the stipend, which might happen, for example, if he or she is on a full scholarship.

Payments are accredited to each executive’s bursar.

This year, each of the five executives accepted his or her stipend of $3,000 for a total expenditure of $15,000.

These payments were made in the beginning of the semester with the expectation that IUSA would have around $100,000 in its budget, as it has in the recent past.

Instead IUSA was allocated $60,000. IUSA took some money from reserves to create an operational budget of about $66,000.

Since the IUSA budget was less than expected, the stipends com-

prised almost 23 percent of the IUSA budget instead of 15 percent, as expected.

This higher percentage caused congressman Andrew Guenther, representing off-campus residency, to author a bill in Congress.

The legislation decided the total expenditure on executive stipends be capped at 15 percent of the budget, so IUSA can use most of its funds on programming for students.

“At the end of the day, IUSA is a government,” Guenther said in an email. “We collect mandatory taxes from our constituents in the form of the student activity fee and

MORE INFORMATION

Next IUSA Congree Meeting 7 p.m. Dec. 1, Hodge Hall 103 are charged with dispersing those funds to better our community.”

The bill was rejected Tuesday, after debate centering on the idea that executives run with the expectation of receiving a certain stipend, and if the amount were suddenly reduced, executives with financial need might be forced to step down so they could work another job.

Alice Ford wasn’t nervous Wednesday night when the lights dimmed at the Monroe County Public Library auditorium and eyes watched her and the surrounding symphony players from stacked seating.

She’s been playing the violin for eight years, so performing is nothing new to her. She takes private lessons, she earned a spot at the pre-college String Academy through Jacobs School of Music and she plays with the Musical Arts Youth Organization, the group she performed with Wednesday for its showcase concert. The symphony was one of the concert’s four acts.

“My mom got a job as the executive director and she was like, ‘Hey do you want to try this?’ and I was like ‘Yeah, sure’,” Alice said.

IU Coach Teri Moren and her staff officially added depth, size and versatility to the future roster Wednesday, as four players signed their National Letters of Intent to IU. Moren inked three high school seniors: Texas natives Bre Wickware and Ria Gulley, along with an instate product in Darby Foresman.

Moren continued her search for strong junior college players, also adding Bailey Broadnax. Broadnax will play her sophomore season at Hill College in Texas this season before transferring to IU with two remaining years of eligibility.

The Texas connection is in large part because of assistant coach Curtis Loyd, a native of the Lone Star state, Moren said. The Texas-toIndiana connection started last season, when current Hoosier freshman forward Danielle Williams decided to come to Bloomington from Fort Worth.

Ria Gulley, a 5-foot-9 guard from San Antonio, averaged 11.5 points per game as a junior last season at Tom C. Clark High School. Gulley is projected to play as a point guard or as a 2-guard for the Hoosiers. Rated as a three-star recruit by ESPN, Moren noted that Gulley might be one of the most underrated players in the nation.

“Ria is super athletic,” Moren said. “She probably doesn’t get

the most credit out of the scouting services, but this kid’s dynamite.

Her combination of quickness and shooting ability give her the potential to be one of the best guards in the Big Ten.” On Wednesday, Gulley’s AAU teammate on DFW Elite, Bre Wickware, also signed to become a Hoosier next season. Wickware, at 6-foot-1, gives IU some future versatility. The Guyer High School

senior averaged 15.7 points and 10.2 rebounds last season and was also rated as a three-star recruit by ESPN. “In Bre, we needed a wing and I like big guards,” Moren said. “She’s going to give us a 6-foot-1 wing on the perimeter and can play at the four-spot. She’s relentless and plays so hard. She crashes the offensive glass and dives for loose balls.”

IU alumnus Louis Jordan shares how he defines success in his life after college with business students Wednesday evening in the Hodge Hall.

Kelley alumni discuss success

By Julie Masterson julmaste@indiana.edu

In an increasingly competitive and globalized work force, professional success can take many forms.

Five alumni from the Kelley School of Business returned to speak with IU students about how they define success in life after college Wednesday in Hodge Hall.

The forum was sponsored by the Hutton Honors College Association, Kelley Student Government and Women in Business.

“I think it is important for everyone to try to define what it is to be successful,” said Todd Richter, the Vice Chairman of Global Banking at Barclays.

Richter said though the common definition of success changes throughout time, the true meaning of success is personal and varies among individuals.

“I define success based on what I think the only measure of success or failure in business in a capitalistic society is,” Richter said.

“That is money.”

On the other hand, James

Hodge, CIO at Permal Asset Management, had a different idea of what it means to be successful.

“I think success is happiness,” Hodge said. “If you find something you really enjoy doing and you work hard at it, do your best and enjoy yourself, then success comes with it.”

While he said his career in finance is lucrative, Hodge said money is only one of many ways in which success can be measured.

In agreement with his fellow alumni, Milon Nag, chairman and managing director at K.K. Nag Limited, said there are two dimensions of success.

Nag said there is an external dimension of success, which is measured by wealth, position and power, as well as an internal dimension, which is measured by happiness, satisfaction and internal peace.

“My definition of success is being able to achieve both,” Nag said.

After giving their perspectives on what constitutes success, the alumni responded to questions from audience members regard-

ing how to achieve it.

Sherry Davis, a finance director working in the Access Expansion group of Eli Lilly & Company in Indianapolis, said being present is a crucial aspect of success.

“What I have learned is the importance of saying ‘I am in this moment right now and I’m really going to put my full effort into where I am right now,’” Davis said.

“I feel like that has changed my level of being able to contribute everyday.”

Louis Jordan, the owner of Tympany Vineyards, said when making plans for the future, it is imperative to keep in mind that the world is constantly changing.

“Think about the things that satisfy you that correlate with the businesses that are available for you now and go after those things,” Jordan said. “If you’re good, you’re going to make a ton of money.”

Though they agreed that a successful career can be achieved through hard work and commitment, the alumni noted the professional playing field is not always level.

Despite this, Richter

“I think it is important for everyone to try to define what it is to be successful. “ Todd Richter, Vice Chairman of Global Banking at Barclays.

said, success will ultimately be determined by how effectively you are able to communicate with other people.

“Don’t under invest in your ability to read and understand something,” Richter said. “Don’t under-invest in your ability to sit in a seat in front of a bunch of people and talk.”

Jack Langston, a sophomore Wells scholar and member of the Kelley Dean’s Insight Board, helped organize the event.

“We often get geared into looking at the immediate step in front of us, whether that’s internships, getting that first job or even getting through that ICORE project,” Langston said. “I think that this forum is going to allow everybody to kind of step back and evaluate what it is that we want out of our lives and careers.”

Member of India’s parliament named poling chair From IDS reports Deepender Hooda has been named the Poling chair of business and government at the Kelley School of Business.

A Kelley School of Business alumnus, Hooda has been a member of India’s parliament since 2005, according to an IU press release.

Poling chair recipients are responsible for stimulating discussion in the areas of leadership, enterprise competitiveness, economic growth and the interactions between public and private sectors regarding public policy, according to the release.

As a Poling chair recipient, Hooda will periodically visit the Kelley School of Business at IU-Bloomington and IU-Purdue University Indianapolis to interact with students and faculty.

“I’m excited at the

prospect of being back in Bloomington after a span of about 12 years,” Hooda said in the release. “I’m thankful to Indiana University and the Kelley School for providing me with this wonderful opportunity to give back, though in a relatively small measure, to the institution that added, and continues to add, great value to my life journey.”

Idalene Kesner, Kelley School of Business dean, said in the release Hooda was engaged in the business school experience when he was her student while studying for his MBA. “He represents the leadership talent that Kelley produces,” Kesner said in the release. “He took the skills he learned here and made major contributions to his country, and we are very proud and excited that he has accepted this opportunity to share his unique international per-

spective with today’s Kelley students.”

Hooda became the youngest member of the lower house of India’s parliament in 2005, where he represents Rohtak, a city in the state of Haryana, according to the release.

He was re-elected for a third term last year by a record margin.

Hooda serves as the Indian National Congress’ party whip.

He also leads the Indian National Congress’ national digital and social communications and is relaunching its website and creating its Facebook, Twitter and other social media accounts.

He also serves as a member of parliament’s standing committee focusing on energy, according to the release.

He has previously served on similar committees on finance, external affairs,

agriculture and human resource development.

From the private sector, previous poling chairs have included Bob Eckert, CEO of Mattel Inc., and Randall Tobias, chairman emeritus of Eli Lilly and Co., former vice chairman of AT&T Corp. and chairman of the IU Board of Trustees, according to the release.

From the public sector, previous poling chairs have included Samuel Skinner, former United States secretary of transportation and chief of staff to former President George H. W. Bush, and Gen. Peter Pace, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, according to the release.

The late Harold “Red” Poling, a business school alumnus and chairman and CEO of Ford Motor Co., established the poling chair in 1993.

IU Fall Energy Challenge ends after 4 weeks From IDS reports IU’s 2015 Fall Energy Challenge, which kicked off Monday, Oct. 12, wrapped up Monday, Nov. 9. Academic buildings, administrative buildings, residence halls, apartment housing complexes and greek houses all competed against one another in an attempt to save the most energy throughout the four weeks.

This year, the energy challenge saved 570,128 kilowatt-hours of electricity, enough to put 620 houses online for a month, and 750,256 gallons of water, enough to fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool, according to a press release from the Office of Sustainability.

Since its inaugural season in 2008, the energy challenge has saved more than 6 million kilowatthours of electricity.

This is equivalent to the average amount needed to put 4,907 houses online for a month.

Additionally, 14.1 million gallons of water, enough to fill 22 Olympicsized swimming pools, according to the release.

Of the 73 buildings that

participated, 19 were residence halls and apartment housing complexes, in addition to 15 were academic and administrative buildings, and 39 were greek houses.

The winning academic and administrative buildings were the Student Building, Service Building, Maxwell Hall, Cyberinfrastructure Building, Swain Hall, Rawles Hall and Meyers Hall, according to the release.

“This is the nation’s largest single-campus energy and water competition,” said University Director of Sustainability Bill Brown, in the release. “And it is the most effective.”

The winning residence halls were Wright Residence Center, Briscoe Residence Center, Forest Residence Center and Campus View Apartments.

The winning greek houses were Alpha Omicron Pi and Beta Theta Pi. The awards presentation will take place at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 17, at the University Club in the Indiana Memorial Union, according to the release.

Local Boy scouts raise the flag and salute Wednesday evening during the Veterans Day Ceremony at the Monroe County Fairgrounds.

Children’s choir performs in Veterans Day ceremony

By Anne Halliwell ahalliwe@indiana.edu @Anne_Halliwell

As the sun set red over the white tents of the Monroe County fairgrounds, the Bloomington Brass Band played a lively March.

The fairgrounds organized a brief Veterans Day service Wednesday evening, featuring the brass band and the Grandview Elementary School choir.

The Bloomington Cub Scout Pack 121 raised flags for each branch of the military and Hannah Rinnert, the Monroe County Fair Queen, read a poem to honor vets.

Jim Kirkman, 72, the principal coronet player for the

brass band, said he enjoyed seeing children enthused about the holiday.

“I think it’s good to teach kids about their history and their country,” Kirkman said.

Kirkman was in Vietnam on active duty for the army from 1963 to 1968.

He said he’d visited Lincoln Elementary School earlier in the day and witnessed an entire gymnasium of young students singing contemporary patriotic songs.

“Every kid was up, singing,” Kirkman said. “It was really cool.”

Thomasina O’Conner, the latest president of the Kiwanis Club of Bloomington, spoke about

her father’s 22 years of service in the navy.

“I was raised in a military home, I grew up near a military base,” O’Conner said.

“Respecting veterans has been instilled in my life since the beginning.”

Lisa Voss, the Grandview choir’s director, said she takes it upon herself to teach her students the importance of patriotism and honoring veterans before they leave grade school.

Much of Voss’ immediate family served in the marines or army, she said.

“I think it’s extremely important to teach kids patriotism,” Voss said. “So we treat veterans like celebrities.”

The small gymnasium was buzzing. In the front, children sat cross-legged on the floor. Behind them, rows of parents and grandparents occupied metal folding chairs. Outside the doors, where a sign said “Thank you!” in silver glitter, stood a group of people who couldn’t fit inside. Among them was Erik Godsey.

He was wearing all black — his sweatpants with a U.S. Army logo printed on the left leg. He has blond hair and blue eyes, young-looking for his 26 years.

The choir students on the risers at the opposite corner

of the gym sang “Fifty, Nifty United States” and “America, Of Thee I Sing.”

He struggled for a view into what is normally his gym, his classroom. He could hear the choir singing the patriotic anthems. He’s lucky, he thought to himself, to be a part of a school that goes to such lengths to recognize veterans.

One weekend each month, Erik drives 45 miles west to Camp Atterbury. Flipping the switch from civilian life to soldier life, he’s in formation by 7 a.m. Saturday and 5 a.m. Sunday. At the camp, he’s training for Officer Candidate School.

He chose the National Guard because it allows him

to keep his civilian job — teaching physical education at Marlin Elementary School in Bloomington. He loves working with kids. It’s important to educate them on health and fitness, he said.

It’s something they can use for a lifetime.

The military branch songs began to play — first up was Army. Erik walked with the rest of the Army veterans and took a spot in the far corner.

He took off his black jacket to reveal his black shirt reading “ARMY” in yellow letters.

After the ceremony, kids came up to Godsey to talk.

A couple of them gave him a hug.

“Thank you for serving our country,” one said.

Combat medic says gender does not limit her abilities

By Alexa Chryssovergis aachryss@indiana.edu @achryssovergis

Morgan Napier was trying to get a man’s attention, and he wouldn’t listen.

She was sitting in the lounge area of the Veterans Support Services office at the Indiana Memorial Union, where she’d been invited for a Veterans Day lunch, and she was surrounded by men.

One, a tall, lanky boy, wore a gray sweatshirt that said USAF — United States Air Force. A second, a little sturdier, sported a green hat with the words “Task Force Flying Tigers” on it. A third — the boy whose attention Napier was trying to grab — had a smaller frame and a red IU beanie.

And then there was Napier, with straight blonde hair and wingtip black eyeliner, a lacy gray cami under a black cardigan, knee-high black boots, nails painted a light sparkly pink.

Cathy Dille, an assistant in the office, said the place is a safe zone where people can come to talk with people they know will understand. Now, the boys and Napier were discussing their training for physical fitness tests. The boy in the beanie said he needed to find somewhere to run with a visible timer, and Napier was trying to suggest the Student Recreational Sports Center — the track upstairs, where she always goes.

He wasn’t listening. Three or four times, she spoke up, but to no avail. She trailed off and raised her eyebrows.

“No one gives a shit ‘cause I’m a girl,” she said.

“That’s not true!” a bulky boy in a plaid shirt and camo hat said, but Napier said she knew it was.

She’s served in the army as a combat medic, at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio. At 21, she’s already saved a man’s life. He’d had a bad allergic reaction in the field, and she had been the lead

medic that day. It hadn’t looked good — his blood pressure had plummeted, and he was unconscious, barely breathing. Luckily, she had one dose of Epinephrine with which to treat him. Even luckier, though — he didn’t relapse after the first dose, though there was a distinct possibility he could have. It was a dicey 15 minutes of waiting.

Her battalion is about two-thirds women, but Napier said when she comes across men in the field, they can be more inclined to disregard her opinion because she’s a woman. Sometimes, they make sexist jokes or say things like “we need some men in here!” when there’s something heavy to lift.

Napier is confident that she can do as much as any man in this room, she said.

Just because she’s 5-foot-3 and blonde, and wears wingtip eyeliner and knee-high black boots, doesn’t mean she isn’t just as capable.

They call him Papa Smurf.

Claude Richard Simmons sat alone on the short stone wall in Seminary Park and smoked a cigarette.

His jeans were ripped and the hood of his brown jacket was up over the Chipotle hat on his head, hiding the arms of his glasses.

People often tell him he looks like Nelson Mandela, he said.

Fellow homeless people approached him every few minutes.

“How you doing, Papa?” they would ask before briefly embracing the 63-year-old.

“Just trying to keep my old, black butt out of trouble.”

Most of them only know him by this nickname, the name Simmons’ family began calling him so many years ago when “The Smurfs” first became a cartoon — when his wife, his best friend, was still alive.

Before she died of cancer in 1989.

Before he lost his self-respect. Before he moved from Indianapolis to Bloomington, where his twin sons live, and before he began sleeping on a green metal bench.

He takes pride in the nickname.

The police, the judges, the lawyers all know him by it because of his efforts to keep the park clean.

It’s a good name. Not like “baby killer,” which was what people called him when he returned from 18 months in Vietnam 42 years ago.

Two women walked by pushing a stroller that held a wide-eyed baby girl.

Simmons waved and repeated “hey, big momma” in a sweet voice while the baby watched him, her head turning back as she passed.

He loves kids, he said. He has 53 grandchildren, and they love their granddaddy.

He isn’t a baby killer.

He was a baby — the men in his battalion were babies themselves when they were drafted at 18 years old.

But no one thought about that, no one asked about the killing and the pain and the post-traumatic stress disorder. Not then, anyway.

He expresses his frustration with two words: “C’mon, man.”

Now, they recognize Vietnam veterans. C’mon, man. Now, they want to help them. C’mon, man. Now, after the war ended, they have parades and free meals and a whole day to celebrate.

C’mon, man.

Now, Simmons sits alone at Seminary Park while his

Related Content For more stories from Veterans Day in Bloomington visit idsnews.com. peers tell him their troubles and ask for advice.

He answers to the best of his ability, he said. He’s exasperated, though.

These people have children, and here they’re sleeping in tents and streets and empty fields.

He wants members of City Council to come talk to them and try to understand, to feel their pain.

Instead, he said, they sit up in their offices while these people, many who once had offices of their own, lose themselves in their struggles.

In his 12 years of being in Bloomington, he has seen four people die of drug overdoses.

C’mon, man.

Simmons looks to the sky. It’s supposed to storm tonight.

In five minutes, he’ll catch the 3 Bus to College Mall and the 8 Bus from there to the Eastside.

Then, he’ll walk about nine miles into the country to the trailer home of Wanda Goodman, a 67-year-old woman who offers to put a roof over his head on nights like the one approaching.

EDITORIAL BOARD

ILLUSTRATION BY NHAN NGUYEN | IDS

Big rejection, small change WE SAY: President Obama needs to commit more effort to climate change The Editorial Board congratulates President Obama for rejecting the Keystone XL pipeline, but it argues the president and his administration can do more to fight climate change.

After seven years of deliberations, the president announced last Friday that he was denying the energy company TransCanada’s application to construct the pipeline, according to the New York Times.

The pipeline would’ve carried oil from tar sands in Alberta, Canada, to the Gulf of Mexico for shipment to other countries.

The president’s move came ahead of global talks

on climate change that are slated to take place Nov. 30 in Paris, according to Reuters.

Though the defeat of the pipeline should be cause for celebration, it is only a temporary victory in the president’s administration concerning climate change.

From 2010 to 2014, the United States built a total of 12,000 miles of oil pipelines, according to the Financial Post. By comparison, the Keystone XL pipeline would have been 875 miles long.

Afolabi Ogunnaike, an analyst with global energy research firm Wood Mackenzie, was quoted by the Financial Post as saying

“if you look at 2010 versus now, we have seen historic realignment that has transformed the infrastructure situation. There has been tremendous investment in pipelines and more investments are coming on.”

If the president has been committed to fighting climate change, why have we seen so many pipelines carrying potentially dangerous oil constructed during his presidency?

Instead of investing in clean, renewable energy resources, thousands of miles of oil pipelines stretch across the country.

Vetoing the Keystone XL pipeline was an important

step for the president.

But is it more of a symbol than an actual commitment to rewriting antiquated energy policy in the U.S. that favors coal, natural gas and oil instead of renewable forms of energy?

It’s only been within the past year that we’ve seen proposed steps to combat climate change from the president. In August, for example, the president unveiled the Clean Power Plan, which aims to reduce carbon emissions by 32 percent before 2030, according to CNBC. It’s unclear how effective the plan is going to be, however, since 24 states filed a

lawsuit in October against the Environmental Protection Agency to block the plan’s implementation, according to NBC News.

Not all of the blame lies with the president. Of the 24 states that are a part of the lawsuit, all but two of them are led by Republicans, NBC News noted.

The GOP, as a whole, is far more likely than their Democratic colleagues to deny climate change exists.

Human trafficking is our problem

Yale students march for racial justice

Karla Jacinto was a victim of human trafficking for four years as she endured underage prostitution, abuse and threats to her life and her baby, according to CNN. She estimates that with roughly 30 Johns a day, seven days a week, she was raped a total of 43,200 times.

Karla was not a tourist in a foreign country who stumbled into the wrong alleyway. She was lured by a trafficker who promised her a much better home than the one run by her abusive mother, and she fell for it in her own backyard — Mexico City.

Karla has since escaped and is now a virulent activist trying to bring awareness to the growing problem.

Though there are many horrors to her story, what seemed to stick with me most was that she painted a severely different picture than what we have come to associate with human trafficking.

Rather than a violent kidnapping, forced drugs and the selling of female bodies, Karla was tricked into it. There were no warning signs.

The problem is in our backyard. In the United States, 14,500 to 17,500 people are trafficked for sex or work, according to humantrafficking. org. According to caseact. org and the 2010 Trafficking in Person Report by the U.S. Department of State, there are 12.3 million people globally living as illegal slaves, and “California harbors three of (the) FBI’s 13 highest child sex trafficking areas in the nation: Los Angeles, San Francisco,

and San Diego.”

However, we seem to think of human trafficking as a problem far away, in the movies and not something that can and does affect U.S. citizens.

ABC News reported some of the victims are from “closeknit” families, or are “straightA student(s).” One girl was even abducted from her own driveway.

The problem is real and important, and Karla Jacinto’s story only serves to emphasize how insidious child predators can be. Though she was abducted in Mexico, trafficking between Mexico and the U.S. was already recognized by officials as a major issue, according to CNN. Unfortunately, this problem doesn’t have a clear solution. Oftentimes the girls and boys picked up by predators are from abusive homes and want to run away. Predators are so good at manipulating their victims that the victims do not realize what is happening until it’s too late.

We need to start addressing this problem — teaching people about the dangers predators pose and changing the dialogue around human trafficking.

No one deserves to be used by another person, not when we have the means to stop it. ewenning@indiana.edu @emmawenninger

In New Haven, Connecticut, students are rightfully enraged as a result of recent outbursts of racial injustice.

A recent Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity party, claiming the party was for “white girls only,” reportedly turned away a black female student at the door, according to Vox and the Washington Post. SAE at Yale has not confirmed the incident and has thus not apologized to the additional frustration of the students.

Around Halloween, the Intercultural Affairs Committee at Yale sent a kindly worded email reminding students not to wear culturally offensive costumes, according tothefire.org.

Simple enough.

But following some claims that the email was an attack on student free speech, the assistant master of Silliman College at Yale, Erika Christakis, sent another one.

In the second email Christakis admitted she did

not want to dictate what students could and could not wear on Halloween. She claimed that was because Halloween was not a holiday for adults to control — rather, it was a holiday for young people to be allowed to be “a little bit obnoxious ... a little bit inappropriate or provocative.”

Basically, Christakis voiced an idea too many people have: if something is offensive, just look away from it instead of doing something.

Reasonably, the aftermath of the email and the allegations of racial discrimination at a party was not met with passive silence.

People did do something.

Students of all races and backgrounds rose up and marched a “March of Resilience” in a demonstration that has gained national attention.

They carried signs with positive slogans such as “Shades of beauty,” “I stand with my sisters” and “This is not a protest.”

Because it wasn’t.

The March of Resilience was not a cry for help or an attempt for people of color to be painted as victims. It was a display of strength, unity and love within a community that had been attacked by prejudice.

Students at Yale are attempting to have a conversation about racism at the school. Such a conversation is long overdue. Many students of color have experienced prejudice or discrimination there on the basis of race, and many, especially black women, do not feel safe on campus because of it.

I mean, it’s hard not to be reminded of a culture of racial insensitivity on a campus with a residential college named after John C. Calhoun.

In the wake of all this, the Black Student Alliance has developed a list of demands for the school, including mandatory education on race and gender issues, as well as the removal of

Christakis.

While these demands have not been met yet, the group did gain marginal support in the form of an email from Dean Jonathan Holloway wherein he backed the Intercultural Affairs Committee’s original email and said he was deeply moved by the pain of black students and students of color.

The simple email took far too long to be sent and left many students wondering why they needed to yell so loudly just to be heard by their administrators.

However, amidst the frustration and emotion, the marching Yale students have proven they are present, they are cohesive and they are not going anywhere. meickhof@indiana.edu @maggie_eickhoff

Two Hoosier swimmers earn Big Ten awards

SPORTS

EDITORS: NICOLE KRASEAN & TAYLOR LEHMAN | SPORTS@IDSNEWS.COM

Two IU swimmers won Big Ten Co-swimmers of the Week after their performances against Auburn on Saturday, the conference announced Wednesday.

Junior swimmer Gia Dalesandro won three events against No. 10 Auburn in the 100- and

200-yard butterfly and the 200-yard individual medley.

Sophomore swimmer Ali Khalafalla won the 50-yard freestyle with a season-best 19.70. Her score on Saturday was the fifth-best time in the nation.

THE SPORTS S’TORI

Saturday is Sudfeld’s last chance to win at Memorial Stadium It happened so fast, you might have missed it.

Battling back against No. 9 Iowa late in the fourth quarter, Nate Sudfeld connected with Michael Cooper for his 49th career passing touchdown — a program record.

The senior quarterback penciled his name in the history books, but the page was quickly flipped. Down eight with less than 2:30 on the clock, IU needed to onside kick.

The attempt failed, and the Hoosiers lost. The touchdown, ultimately, was meaningless.

It’s been that kind of season for Sudfeld, whose statistical achievements have been overshadowed by his team’s disappointing losses.

On Monday, the senior said he hasn’t “scratched the surface of how good he can be,” a troubling notion for a player who has potentially only three games remaining in his collegiate career.

On paper, Sudfeld is compiling an enviable season, leading the No. 1 total offense

in the Big Ten — which might very well be the best conference in football — with a Big Ten-best 278.6 passing yards per game and 8.5 yards per attempt.

But given the option, Sudfeld would eschew his records for a win against a team like Iowa or No. 14 Michigan, who rolls into Memorial Stadium on Saturday.

The Hoosiers will face their fourth top-15 opponent in a single season for the first time since 1979, and though the Wolverines (7-2, 4-1) own the worst record of those competitors, they are perhaps the most fearsome team IU will face, and the only one I don’t give IU a reasonable chance of playing close.

Michigan has adopted the same daunting persona as its first-year head coach, former NFL front man Jim Harbaugh, who is one clean punt away from an 8-1 record in what many expected to be a rebuilding year.

There isn’t a team in college football who wouldn’t be afraid to face Michigan

right now, and with the Big Ten East title still up for grabs, there is plenty of motivation for the Wolverines to win big in Bloomington.

With a formidable Penn State team and defending champ Ohio State still left on the Wolverine’s slate, the counter-argument, of course, is that IU could catch Michigan in a trap game.

But there is a genuine belief among those in Ann Arbor that Harbaugh is simply incapable of overlooking games, a belief I wholeheartedly share.

If the Hoosier offense isn’t firing on all cylinders, it will be man-handled by the No. 2 defense in the country, which also leads the conference in scoring defense, rush defense and opponent third-down conversion rate.

As IU Coach Kevin Wilson aptly noted, his quarterback’s tenure at IU won’t ultimately

be judged by his statistical feats, passing numbers or touchdown records, but by the success of victory.

And the time to garner those victories is running out.

Saturday is Sudfeld’s last chance to win in Memorial

Stadium — and in order to do so, he will need to play like a mad man on his senior night.

The fate of the Hoosiers’ season, and his legacy, may very well depend on it.

WRESTLING

Junior wrestler uses faith as fuel for success

By Ryan Schuld ryan.schuld@yahoo.com

Junior Nate Jackson’s wrestling career began at a young age when his parents forced him to start because of his lack of school involvement.

“I was really bad,” Jackson said. “I didn’t win a match my first two years.

The next year I won state, and I figured out that this might be something I can do.”

Raised in Crete, Illinois, a southern suburb of Chicago, Jackson said his dad owned a barbershop that made Crete feel more like home.

He said he is grateful for the way his parents raised him and for the morals his parents instilled in him.

One of these morals is his faith.

“We went to church every weekend,” he said. “It started off being something I didn’t really care for, but

I am a pretty religious guy now.”

Growing up, Jackson was involved in many other sports, including baseball.

He said he honestly believed he would be a baseball player instead of a wrestler but he chose wrestling after an injury playing baseball one summer.

Before IU, Jackson had a lot of success on the wrestling mat, including four straight trips to the state championship tournament in high school.

He said wrestling in college was not a sure thing as he began his senior year of high school. If he wanted to wrestle at the next level he said he had to prove it on the mat.

Prove it he did. Jackson went on to be crowned state champion his senior season.

Jackson had many options coming out of high school. He said his top three

choices were Arizona State, Nebraska and IU. IU Coach Duane Goldman wanted him at IU because of the athleticism he saw in Jackson.

“He’s just an athlete, he’s long and quick,” Goldman said. “He’s got good skills, even though they weren’t taught skills, it’s just a feel that he has for the sport, and as an athlete, those are things you can’t really teach.”

The relationship Jackson built with Goldman during the recruiting process is what helped Jackson make the decision to attend IU. “Everything he told me since being here, he kept his word,” Jackson said. “I was very fortunate to meet him, he was definitely the deciding factor.”

Jackson’s most memorable moment to this point is when he participated in the NCAA Championships last year, but he is hungry

for more.

“It didn’t turn out how I wanted, but it gave me an understanding that I belong there,” Jackson said. “It has motivated me for this year.”

Jackson has high individual goals for the season and said he has plans of being a national champ.

Goldman said he believes Jackson can accomplish that.

“I absolutely think he can, but there is a lot of steps, there’s a lot of tough competition,” Goldman said. “He has every opportunity and quality to do that.”

Jackson’s nerves still get to him before he touches the mat each tournament, but his faith helps him overcome those nerves.

He said he prays before every match to help with his nerves, and this is something he has been doing since his senior year of high school.

Junior Nate Jackson tries to pin a teammate during practice Nov. 4.

Jackson dominated in the first meet of the season Saturday.

Jackson hopes to get to that level with hard work, but his faith will help him grow regardless of the outcome.

“Before every match, actually what I say before I get on the mat is ‘Have your way,’” Jackson said. “Whatever He has planned for me, I take that on the chin, and I grow from this experience one way or another.”

“I was really bad. I didn’t win a match my first two years.

The next year I won state, and I figured out that this might be something I can do.”

VOLLEYBALL

IU volleyball sweeps Rutgers

By Courtney Robb crobb@indiana.edu | @CourttyKayy

Before Wednesday night, IU hadn’t seen a win in three weeks.

With 11 conference losses trailing behind the team, IU was hungry for its second win against Big Ten newcomer Rutgers. The Hoosiers stepped off the court in New Jersey having swept their opponent, 3-0.

“A Big Ten win is always a great thing,” junior setter Megan Tallman said. “The next step is getting to five wins and this was a step in the right direction.”

The Hoosiers took the first two sets Wednesday, 25-16 and 25-21. The first two sets were cut and dry as the Scarlet Knight defense was unable to keep up with the Hoosiers’ .410 hitting percentage.

But when the teams came out to play the third set it was apparent the Hoosiers weren’t the only players craving a win.

In the midst of the third set Rutgers kept the point margin small and tied it up, 21-21.

A service error committed

by Rutgers gave IU some room to score three more points, but when the Hoosiers were unable to put two other balls away, IU Coach Sherry Dunbar-Kruzan called a timeout.

“We sat down and said here’s exactly what’s going to happen,” IU Assistant Coach Paul Koncir said. “We thought we were going to do this play

and end the match on that play. It was just trying to bring them into focus and about understanding that focus. There’s a lot of close sets in the Big Ten, so we needed to put them into the idea of what needed to happen.”

The Hoosiers returned from their timeout and immediately senior middle blocker Awele Nwaeze sent the ball over to acquire the last point needed to take the third set and the match win.

“I don’t think one win on any given night is going to be enough for this team,” Tallman said. “We’re striving for our next win. With Michigan State coming up we need to fight for more wins.”

Even with Rutgers’ unsuccessful record, with no conference wins in Big Ten play this season, the IU coaches have been stressing the importance of not having expectations before Wednesday night’s match.

“We’ve been making a big deal not to expect things even when it’s how the game needs to be played,” Koncir said. “We didn’t take them lightly but we took them very seriously, even probably more than we should have. It was something we wanted and knew we had to earn it.”

After a few unsuccessful weeks, Koncir said he wants the Hoosiers to put their focus on winning.

Next up, IU will play host Michigan State at 7 p.m.

Saturday.

“Having an ensemble with viola da gamba never happens in youth programs,” Music Director Lauren Bernofsky said. “It’s an instrument from the Renaissance period and played only by professionals and college level musicians.

Kids playing it is unheard of.”

They come to MAYO for the opportunity to do so, among other reasons.

The organization isn’t free.

According to its website, the current semester’s tuition rate is $140 and there are opportunities for financial assistance.

“If you can’t pay, then play for free,” Bernofsky said.

Alice said that was something she admired about the program.

said. The courage to be vulnerable and the capacity for wonder led to discovery and innovation. Ma said society needs to encourage openness, because it gives us hope, creativity and better solutions to problems.

“The secret to music and culture is they are always about something bigger than ourselves,” Ma said.

“It’s not given to us, we have to discover it. When we listen, when we watch, when we participate, we become part of that experience. We discover something at its core: our shared meaning

defined through our collective imagination. As musicians, it’s our job to guide that process.”

Ma said the key to combining and performing music from different cultures is to understand the elements that make a piece unique to its origins. Gandelsman said what makes one of the pieces from the show sound Russian is the slight displacement of the eighth note melody.

“Taken together, wonder, openness and empathy are an incredibly powerful effect of culture,” Ma said. “They

are an antidote to fear and darkness.”

Ma said he was afraid as a child moving from France to America and having to learn a new language and customs. He said music and culture made him understand that the right response to change is curiosity, empathy and connection.

recruit, as well as the 11thbest player at her position in the class of 2016. The fact that she hails from Indiana, though, is what sticks out to Moren.

“Darby gives us size and gives us our Indiana kid,” Moren said. “I’ve been really honest in what our goals are here at Indiana — we want to get some of the best Indiana kids to be Hoosiers. That will always be priority number one for us, to get the best players out of this state.”

Moren said Foresman was a familiar face to her because of her time at Indiana State and University of Indianapolis. Moren said she hopes she can continue a consistent trend of recruiting Indiana high school players to Bloomington.

“If you look at our roster, Jenn and Darby will be our only Indiana kids,” Moren said. “Our roster has to look different than that. Winning changes a lot of that. Our hope is that we can get this

program headed in the direction that it deserves to go in and then some of the top Indiana kids will want to come here.”

The Hoosiers continued the consistent trend of adding talent via junior college standouts when 6-foot forward Broadnax signed her NLI on Wednesday. As a freshman at Hill College in Texas, Broadnax scored 8.8 points and collected 5.9 rebounds per game.

Moren’s staff, specifically assistant coach Todd Starkey,

found Broadnax at a junior college event in Florida.

“The thing we liked about Bailey was her experience at the 4-position,” Moren said.

“She can also play the 3-spot.

The versatility that we have in this class is very exciting.

It gives us great depth at every spot and that’s what we’re lacking right now.”

For the 2016-17 season, the Hoosiers will also add 5-foot-7 sophomore guard Tia Elbert, a transfer from Marquette. Elbert averaged 8.6

points for the Golden Eagles last season en route to a spot on the Big East All-Freshman team. The Minnesota native is sitting out a year due to NCAA transfer rules.

“We really feel good about the direction we’re headed in recruiting,” Moren said. “I want to make sure that everybody understands that we’re really exciting with the kid we have in place right now.

There’s a lot of people out there that are really excited about our program.”

from outside student government funding in a separate allocation.

Guenther said he has contacted IUSA’s adviser Steve Veldkamp, assistant dean of students and director of Student Life and Learning, to work on removing executive stipends from IUSA’s budget.

“Hopefully, by meeting with appropriate, relevant parties, we can find a compromise that fairly

compensates our executives for their work while ensuring that our budget is not drained in order to pay stipends,” Guenther said.

“This, to me, is extremely important and feasible.”

The decision to give IUSA less money than in the past came from the Committee for Fee Review, a student committee that convenes to decide how the student activity fee should be distributed.

The student activity fee goes toward student organizations, like IUSA, as well as services, such as the campus buses or the Health Center.

Associate Dean of Students Carol McCord advises the CFR. McCord said IUSA’s high amount of reserve funds at the time of its review last spring was the main reason CFR decided to give IUSA less money.

Tinder said the reserve funds serve as insurance so that if IUSA is disbanded, severed from IU or denied funding, the organization can still function for about a year.

With about $60,000 in IUSA reserves, the CFR decided it was not appropriate to continue allocating IUSA $100,000, and instead gave IUSA $60,000 with the intention of returning to the full amount upon expen-

diture of the reserve funds, McCord said.

This information was in a recommendation from CFR to IUSA written last spring, before this administration began its term. Tinder and IUSA Treasurer Wes Cuprill each said they have not yet read the recommendation.

“We really do strive every day to spend the money we’ve been given in the most effective and positive way for students,” Tinder said.

The first...

and hopefully the last and hulkish hero, Kaulder.

Kaulder, played by Diesel, was part of a witch hunting party back in some ambiguous historical age

‘The Last Witch Hunter’ Vin Diesel, Rose Leslie D “The Last Witch Hunter” starring Vin Diesel are words I truly never believed I would write. Alas, here I am at midnight trying to construct coherent paragraphs to describe a movie that made me wish I had been burned at the stake.

I got into the mess because I’m a witchcraft fanatic.

Witches and magic are broad concepts that are easy to manipulate and interpret.

There isn’t a definite limit on what a witch can be. They can be young or old, ugly or beautiful, good or evil. There is an endless number of ways to define their powers and lore.

“The Last Witch Hunter” tried to experiment with the witches but their story fell to the backburner of our boring

when long beards and mohawks were in style — no, not the 1980s.

Kaulder and his fellow witch hunters were looking for the witch queen who was the cause of the plague. Kaulder is able to defeat the queen but before she dies, she curses him with immortality.

Eight centuries later Kaulder is still hunting witches but now he’s following a strict judicial system. Instead of killing witches he takes them to be judged by a witch council.

Things are going pretty well until Kaulder’s friend and handler, Dolan 36th, is almost murdered by witches.

This takes Kaulder on a long investigation where he runs into Rose Leslie’s character, a witch named Chloe. He uncovers deepseated betrayals and a nightmare he thought he destroyed 800 years ago.

Kaulder is a flat character.

He’s intelligent and strong as someone who has lived more than 800 years should be. But

MOVIESTILLSDATABASE

the tragedy of his situation is lost in his nearly inexistent personality. It’s difficult to feel any kind of emotion toward him.

Look guys, let’s be real here: Diesel can’t act. He emits about as much emotion as a frying pan and his talent is like a flickering light bulb you hold out hope for only to be disappointed when you’re suddenly left alone in the dark.

Leslie, on the other hand, is given a strong female character to play. Chloe is powerful but not invincible.

She’s not an ice queen nor is she discarded as a weak overly emotional woman.

If I had an issue with Chloe

it would be the awkward sexual tension between her and Diesel’s character perpetuated through prolonged moments of eye contact.

“The Last Witch Hunter” neglected what I would consider the most important part of its story: the witches.

Instead, the writers and producers just seemed to focus on how many great shots they could get of Diesel’s biceps.

I needed less Diesel and more magic. And, really, that should be a life mantra by now.

‘What’s Inside: Songs from Waitress’ Sara Bareilles A+ Sara Bareilles has done it again — she’s made us fall in love with her.

The “Love Song” singersongwriter has returned with the album “What’s Inside: Songs from Waitress,” the score to the new Broadway musical “Waitress” set to premiere in 2016.

As far as musicals go, the songs are vital, almost more so than the acting. Though we’re unable to know how this adaptation of the 2007 Adrienne Shelly film will pan out, Bareilles’ album suggests the show will be a knockout.

The score, set in chronological order, depicts a waitress balancing life, love and finding herself with a bun in the oven. Echoes of the words “sugar,”“butter” and “flour” appear throughout the album to resonate a hardworking woman’s life built on simple — and sometimes unstable — staple ingredients.

Bareilles’ history of upbeat pop fits perfectly with the busy pace of a diner, but it’s her softness and longing that reaches audiences during the score’s ballads. We’ve seen it before in her last album, “The Blessed Unrest.”

Is this type of album surprising from Bareilles? If anything, it demonstrates her range as an artist. She’s not just the writer of that one pop song we were obsessed with in 2007. She’s a real composer and lyricist. It’s unlikely most major artists these days could

pull of such a feat. Bareilles has shattered the barrier of pop music to show that she can do more than play lovesick songs to be repeatedly played.

Although it’s not a typical album, “What’s Inside” is diverse and relatable enough to be enjoyed by those far from the theater crowd.

We’ve all felt the anxiety of a crush’s losing interest in us or winding up being a “psychopath who escaped from an institution,” like the feelings expressed in “When He Sees Me.” Her duet with Jason Mraz in “You Matter to Me,” could easily make it to mainstream radio.

The harmonization of their voices and the lyrics are the perfect combination for a hit during the holidays.

Though she has never experienced motherhood, Bareilles manages to describe the experience flawlessly in “Everything Changes.”

“She Used To Be Mine” is the best song on the track and the most provoking.

Could we, too, be waitresses — running through life endlessly to make ends meet and forgetting ourselves and our needs in the process?

Aren’t our imperfections and strengths the elements that make us who we are?

Kudos to Bareilles for making us face an existential prompt during a light-hearted musical.

We experience the highs and lows of “Waitress” in the score, but it’s the exiting number, “Lulu’s Pie Song,” that leave us with hope.

Hope for a waitress, hope for us and hope Bareilles will get a few award nods from this beautiful album.

‘The Secret Garden’ to open this evening

ARTS

Broadway musical “The Secret Garden” will play at 7 p.m. today at the Ivy Tech John Waldron Arts Center.

“The Secret Garden,” a Tony Award-winning production, is based off a children’s novel written by Frances Hodgson Burnett.

EDITORS: CASSIE HEEKE & BRIDGET MURRAY | ARTS@IDSNEWS.COM

The show is recommended for adults and children ages 8 and up, according to a press release.

Tickets purchased in advance cost $15 for adults and $12 for children. All tickets are $15 at the door.

Professor chosen as Book Awards finalist for poetry Alex Long longsc@indiana.edu

Associate Professor of poetry Ross Gay was selected as a finalist for the 2015 National Book Awards Shortlist for Poetry for his book “Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude.”

Gay, who has been a part of IU’s creative writing faculty since 2007, has several published works. “Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude” was selected for the National Book Awards Longlist for Poetry in September and has since moved to the shortlist, marking the final listing of the National Book Awards. A final ceremony will determine a winner for each category: fiction, nonfiction, poetry and young people’s literature.

The anthology, which Gay said he started working on in 2011, explores metaphors of gardens and orchards that discuss Earth, life and death and rebirth. He said he incorporates Bloomington in several of the poems, and the majority of the poems in the collection were written here.

According to the press release, Gay, a first year finalist, and five other finalists with whom he is acquainted were selected out of 221 submissions to attend the award ceremony.

Gay said he received the news of his placement the day before the public release of the finalists.

“It was totally surprising when I found out my book was on the longlist, then the shortlist,” Gay said. “They called

me, and it was a really nice conversation.”

Adrian Matjeka, the Ruth Lilly professor and Poet in Residence at IU, said he has known Gay for 13 years. He said he’s kept up with Gay’s work since meeting him and long before Gay came to IU in 2012.

“It’s a huge deal for his book to be on the shortlist,” Matjeka said. “The NBAs are kind of like the poetry Oscars and anyone who gets as far as he has carries that prestigious recognition for the rest of their careers.”

Matjeka said he believes Gay, a “great representative, not only of poetry, but of Bloomington,” could win overall for the poetry category.

“Even if it doesn’t work out that way, he’s already won,” Matjeka said. “The book is beautiful. All of us in the IUBloomington community who value the arts have won, really.”

The winners will be announced Wednesday, Nov. 18, at the 66th National Book Awards Benefit Dinner and Ceremony at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City, according to the press release.

“I’ll be booking it to Pennsylvania after the ceremony to give a reading at a university in Pennsylvania,” Gay said.

“I’ll be giving a few readings from Catalog as well as other works.”

He said he is also in the process of writing a nonfiction work that discusses his relationship with Earth, his family and imagination.

IT’S ACTUALLY CERULEAN

Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show: Take it lightly and enjoy The Victoria’s Secret Fashion show is the most watched and hyped fashion show of the year.

The show features, arguably, the sexiest women in the world modeling the most decorated undergarments in the fashion industry.

On Tuesday, Nov. 10, the show was filmed in New York City’s Lexington Avenue Armory in front of a live audience. Before every show, top music artists who resonate with the Victoria’s Secret brand are asked to perform — this year, they were Selena Gomez, Ellie Goulding and the Weeknd.

The show will be broadcast in 192 countries and watched by more than 10 million people Dec. 8.

A great deal of hype surrounds this show year after year. Victoria’s Secret allocates about 11 percent of their budget for their advertising campaign. They sell more than a bra — rather, a feeling of admiration to their customers.

However, it is important to consider these models live to maintain an unrealistic figure.

Some of it comes naturally — they do not measure 5’9” and taller because of exercise — but the rest comes from a strict diet regime and agents who monitor their health habits.

Before last year’s show, a group of women in New York walked the runway in an “Anti-Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show” to demonstrate “real ‘perfect’ bodies.” Women sizes 0 to 16 to pregnant walked the show in a range of intimate apparel brands.

Statements of image idealization and manipulating the thoughts of young girls are important, but sometimes those issues can be taken lightly.

Take it with a grain of salt, but the social media of these models has only shown their excitement and determination to get into shape and prepare for this particular show. Many express it as an honor.

Every year, the models take a photo in front of the

NICOLE LEAH GOLDMAN is a senior in journalism.

Victoria’s Secret Class of Year X sign. They are always smiling, laughing and cheering. It seems like some great friendships come out of working to achieve a common goal: looking great in a bra.

The fashion industry’s most elite models have been part of the Victoria’s Secret campaign for many years. They include Alessandra Ambrosio, Adriana Lima, Lily Aldridge and Joan Smalls, now alongside newest additions Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid.

The introduction of the fashion industry’s favorite new models is one that is sure to benefit Victoria’s Secret.

Together, Jenner and Hadid have 50 million followers on Instagram who will now be more inclined to watch the show, be exposed to Victoria’s Secret’s advertisements and purchase items in stores.

As shallow as the show seems to some, it is similar to how many women work in groups on campus. Students work in sororities and organization committees to achieve a common goal, and they develop friendships and memories that lead them to return the next year — just like Alessandra Ambrosio, who has walked the show for 10 years, one of them while she was pregant with her second child.

We “normal” girls might as well embrace our bodies and flip on the television with a bowl of ice cream and a side of popcorn.

If you can take the show lightly, it is a fun event to watch. There are always bright lights, loud music and celebrities dancing in the crowd.

Instead of wondering why we don’t look like these ‘perfect’ women, we should accept our figures and let loose — on the couch. goldmann@indiana.edu

LEARNING FROM A LEGEND Yo-Yo Ma performs with his partner during a workshop Wednesday morning in the School of Global and International Studies.

Concert combines ensembles

By Brooke McAfee bemcafee@indiana.edu @bemcafee24601

The challenge for the musicians in the Vocal Jazz Ensemble and IUnison is to realize every voice is different while also performing as part of a group, director Duane Davis said.

“We do not want to strip the uniqueness of the instrument,” Davis said. “They are also part of the whole.”

The jazz ensembles will perform a concert at 8 p.m.

Thursday in Auer Hall. The concert will feature guest artist Darmon Meader.

The ensembles are both directed by Davis. The Vocal Jazz Ensemble I consists of more experienced musicians, while IUnison, or Vocal Jazz Ensemble II, is an inter-

mediate group.

Davis, who is an adjunct lecturer in choral conducting and jazz studies in the Jacobs School of Music, said both groups have talented musicians.

The Vocal Jazz Ensemble I won the Down Beat Award in the Graduate College Vocal Group category in 2014 and 2015. The ensembles have performed in New York City, including performances at Jazz at Lincoln Center.

Meader, an adjunct faculty member in the jazz vocal department, visits IU three times a semester to work with students. He is a renowned vocalist, saxophonist and arranger, and he is the founder and musical director of New York Voices.

“He certainly is an artist in its true form,” Davis said.

The program will include a cross-section of many kinds of jazz, including standards, fusion and bebop, Davis said.

Jazz is challenging and intimate, Associate Director Ly Wilder said, and the singers in these ensembles learn skills like improvisation.

The ensembles also place emphasis on solo performance, and the vocalists have frequent opportunities to sing at the microphone, Wilder said. When there is only one person on a part, the musicians learn how to be confident, she said.

Wilder said the concert features a vast program.

“I’m looking forward to sharing a wide variety of repertoire,” Wilder said. “The singers travel through many styles.”

Wilder said the concert is

VOCAL JAZZ ENSEMBLE & IUNISON Free 8 p.m. today, Auer Hall also a showcase of an American art form.

“Jazz is our music, so we can take a lot of pride in taking our ensembles through this repertoire,” Wilder said.

The voice is the root of all jazz, and the students in the ensembles have a responsibility to understand the art Davis said. He said to be a student of jazz, the musicians must learn they have the ability to bring the music off the page.

“My favorite part about working with them is watching the mics come on as the music becomes more and more beautiful,” Davis said.

‘The Peanuts Movie’

‘Damn Country Music’

Noah Schnapp, Bill Melendez, Hadley Belle Miller

Tim McGraw B

A If “The Peanuts Movie” could be described in one word, it would by “joyful.”

Opening Nov. 6, “The Peanuts Movie,” directed by Steve Martino and produced

by Craig and Bryan Schulz, tells the story of Charlie Brown, here voiced by Noah Schnapp — everyone’s favorite lovable loser — as he attempts to win the affections of the new girl in town, also known as the mysterious “Little Red-Haired Girl.”

The film also features a subplot of Snoopy, voiced

by Bill Melendez via archival recordings, as the World War I flying ace trying to save his love interest Fifi, voiced by stage and screen star and “Peanuts” alum Kristin Chenoweth. Chenoweth played Sally Brown in the 1999 revival of the musical “You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown”.

The film features all the beloved characters from the Charles M. Schulz comic strip, including Charlie’s best friend Linus van Pelt, voiced by Alex Garfin; neighborhood bully Lucy, voiced by Hadley Belle Miller; Charlie’s little sister Sally, voiced by Mariel Sheets; Pig-Pen, voiced by AJ Teece; Schroeder, voiced by Noah Johnston; Peppermint Patty, voiced by Venus Omega

MOVIESTILLSDATABASE

Schultheis; Marcie, voiced by Rebecca Bloom; and Francesca Angelucci Capaldi as the mythical Little Red-Haired Girl.

“The Peanuts Movie” also features Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews as the “wahwah” voices of the adults, including the gang’s teacher, Miss Othmar.

The film uses several classic “Peanuts” tropes: Charlie Brown’s failure to fly a kite successfully and small children posing adult-like existential questions — Charlie constantly wonders if it is his fate to fail at everything he tries, Snoopy’s attempting to write the great American novel, Schroeder’s rebuffing Lucy’s attempts at flirting and the whole gang’s dancing to the classic theme tune.

The animation team also did a wonderful job in keeping with the traditional design style of the “Peanuts” gang while using computer animation and three-dimensional design.

The moments of twodimensional animation that look like moving versions of the comic strip are also wonderful to see as well.

There is something incredibly comforting about going to see “The Peanuts Movie,” from the familiarity of the characters to knowing Charlie Brown will once again be reminded of how much his friends care for him and that they will always be there

Another thing I noticed when watching “The Peanuts Movie” is how these characters are able to transcend generations. Seeing grandparents and parents sharing this movie with their children and grandchildren was a wonderful sight to see.

If you love a feeling of nostalgia, a sense of wonder and seeing some of your favorite childhood characters reimagined in a whole new style of animation, then “The Peanuts Movie” is for you.

Tim McGraw said his latest album “Damn Country Music” was given an ambiguous title for a reason.

“It depends on how you feel when you wake up where the punctuation goes,” the singer said.

A listener could consider “Damn, Country Music” to persecute the genre’s ability to depress even the happiest of days, or “Damn.

Country Music” to express the genre’s wide accessibility or “Damn! Country Music” for the most honky-tonk of country tracks.

In his 21-year career, McGraw has made music with lyrics that preach, praise and practice the characteristics of small-town living to create thoughtprovoking music that he doesn’t just sing, but that he lives in his everyday life.

In “Damn Country Music,” McGraw toys with the more modern variations of country music with electric guitar and echoing vocals.

However, when it comes to the long-time singer’s lyrics: Damn, Tim McGraw.

McGraw’s attention to detail in “How I’ll Always Be,” a song about his hometown roots in Louisiana, answers the question every person from a small hometown has to answer: why do you like living in a small town? The answer is in the song for the most fun game you can find. Love and romance flower with playfulness.

those who are wondering.

“I’m a fan of chert rock bouncing off a Chevy fender / That feeling that you get that first time she lets you kiss her / Rusty roofs that rattle when the rain is fallin’ down / Handshake deals, fresh-cut hay fields and hometowns.”

Another track where McGraw draws from his original storytelling songwriting — especially stories about love — is “Love Runs.” He personifies love as a woman that a man meets and falls in love with by using lyrics like “love runs through her hair like your fingers as you stare into her eyes, thinking that she might be the one.” Damn, Tim McGraw.

Near the end of the song, love becomes a slammed door and fading taillights before changing to running after a car with arms waving in the air and tears running down a face.

McGraw said one of his favorite songs he’s ever recorded, though, is “Humble and Kind,” a song about preaching humility and kindness to the new generation as his children graduate high school.

The mood of the song is not necessarily modern but does act as the past talking to the present society.

“Don’t take for granted the love this life gives you / When you get where you’re goin’ / Don’t forget turn back around / And help the next one in line.”

weekend EDITOR GREG GOTTFRIED

PAGE 12 | NOV. 12, 2015

Time to push the boulder up the hill In case you have never heard of the Greek myth of Sisyphus, here’s a little spoiler alert for you. The tale speaks about the punishment for Corinth, the King of Ephyra.

Due to his deceitfulness, he was forced to roll a boulder up a hill every day for eternity, as he would also watch it roll back down once he finished his task for the day. This repetition without change over and over again sounds like hell. It’s tiresome, needless and unwarranted.

This seems to have become the norm for blockbuster films in general. Sequels and reboots are now targeted at the lowest common denominator with no need to insert compelling developments for the protagonists.

Now let’s talk about “Spectre,” the latest James Bond film.

This movie is the final

Russian nesting doll. It’s pretty, colorful, interesting to look at, but there’s nothing inside.

Daniel Craig’s newest stint as 007 is gorgeous. Every scene is as layered as the one before it. The opening scene features a one-take scene that is as fascinating as perhaps any James Bond scene in recent history. The detail is plentiful and there are many clues awaiting the curious viewer. It’s too bad that the plot and dialogue couldn’t keep up with the visuals.

Over and over again, from Marvel to Bond blockbusters, there seems to be no sense of direction or need for originality. “Spectre” revolves around a criminal organization that has lurked behind the shadows throughout Bond’s career and will eventually control a Big Brother-like program titled “Big Eyes.”

There’s a familiar undertone as this type of watchful-eye has

become antiquated in today’s blockbusters. Marvel has done this type of film before in “The Avengers,”“Iron Man 3,” “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” and “Avengers: Age of Ultron.” This isn’t to say the Bond franchise isn’t allowed to make a movie with this type of overseeing villain. Yet, with no new additions to the concept, it seems stale.

This flatness further stretches into the romantic interest. “They Come Together,” a comedy featuring Amy Poehler and Paul Rudd, satirizes the romantic comedy, in that it always seems that the pair fall in and out of love with each other as if a button is being pushed. “I love you. No, I can’t ... I don’t know you well enough. But, I do. Woe is I.” It’s incredulous that anyone could believe this type of portrayal of love yet it constantly arises in movies nowadays. Léa Seydoux and Daniel Craig’s

characters fall in-and-out of love so quickly and constantly that it can give you whiplash.

And that, the staleness and feeling that we’ve been here before, is what scares me about this Bond movie and blockbuster films in general.

It seems that we’ve hit a point where any movie that features a mega-character like Bond, Hulk, Superman or Vin Diesel wearing a tank top has become generic, cookie-cutter in its creation.

The deadlines for these movies have been set in motion years in advance and the main characters will continue on their respective paths until they become boring to the general public and then another 25 years later.

There’s never anything new, no surprises. The protagonist will fight and the villain will perish. Heroes will go on celebrating along with the

MCT CAMPUS

big studios. We have not given these types of movies a reason to chance as we keep on gobbling them up the first chance we get.

The ‘Craig as Bond’ saga has run its course with the well drying up the more we speak.

I’m hopeful that the next reiteration will do something drastic — create real stakes

for this character that seems tension-less in his existence.

Yet, I doubt that’s the case.

We’re in a rut that will continue as it is for quite some time.

James Bond will never die. But perhaps it’s time he should.
