Smedley’s sister addresses brother’s death Carley Lanich carleylanich@indiana.edu | @carleylanich

Vivianne Brown, sister of Joseph Smedley, said she does not believe the death of her brother was a suicide by drowning as was recently

confirmed by the Monroe County Coroner.

Brown and husband Deonte shared several thoughts on Smedley’s case Tuesday night during “The Critical Conversation: Joseph Smedley and the Aftermath,” a

student-organized discussion allowing students to share thoughts on the racial climate at IU and on Smedley’s death.

“Now that they have ruled it a suicide, I believe that it’s time for you to know some facts so that

you’re able to put together your own conclusions,” Brown said.

Brown said after reading the coroner’s report, which was not released to the public, she learned Smedley was found in Lake Griffy with his shoes, socks and backpack

still on.

At the talk, Brown said the backpack was found strapped to his chest with somewhere between 62 to 66 pounds of rocks. However, SEE SMEDLEY, PAGE 2

Catholic Charities resettles refugees

IDS

From IDS reports

Ben Davis High School in Indianapolis is home to both suburban, upper middle class students and those from poverty. Coach Kirschner likes to call it “the melting pot of society.”

Maybe the most dangerous of those neighborhoods is Haughville, which Allen calls home. Indianapolis crime rates have had Haughville

Three weeks after a family of Syrian refugees was rerouted away from Indiana, Catholic Charities in Indianapolis has resettled another Syrian family in Indiana.

Last week, Gov. Mike Pence met privately with the archbishop of Indianapolis to request the Catholic Church not defy his directive to block Syrian refugees from settling in Indiana.

Archbishop Joseph Tobin told the governor he’d consider the request but eventually decided to bring the family into the state.

The family boarded a plane in Jordan on Sunday evening and arrived in Indianapolis on Monday.

The resettlement went against Pence’s decision to block additional Syrian refugees from coming to Indiana. Citing terrorist concerns after last month’s terrorist attacks in Paris, Pence joined more than half the country’s governors in refusing Syrian refugees.

Almost immediately, Pence’s authority to do so was challenged.

The Refugee Act of 1980, which reformed the way refugees are brought to the U.S., grants no specific authority to state governments.

The Obama administration called refugee resettlement a federal issue.

Calling his decision an “unconstitutional bluff,” the American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit on behalf of an Indianapolis-based refugee agency.

Pence’s spokesman told the Associated Press the governor’s directive would continue to stand.

“The governor holds Catholic Charities in the highest regard but respectfully disagrees with their decision to place a Syrian refugee family in Indiana at this time,” spokesman Matt Lloyd said.

The family joins about 30 Syrian refugees already settled in Indiana and about 2,000 throughout the country.

FALLEN FROM GRACE PHOTO COURTESY OF 247SPORTS

Antonio Allen became the hope of his district as the star of the Ben Davis High School football team after growing up in one of the most impoverished areas of Indianapolis but has since been charged with possession of drugs.

Former IU safety’s identity lies somewhere in between perceived extremes

By Brody Miller brodmill@indiana.edu | @BrodyMillerIDS

Antonio Allen, wrapped in disgrace, stood in court.

“You, Mr. Allen, are charged with dealing narcotic drugs,” the judge said. “Do you understand that charge?”

“Yes, ma’am,” he said softly.

“And the possible penalties?”

“Mm-hm.”

She went through his other charges. The former IU safety pleaded not guilty to each — dealing in methamphetamine, narcotics, cocaine — and made his way out of the Monroe County courthouse, where the news cameras were waiting.

Allen buried his head in the shoulder of a grey-dreadlocked man. Allen’s own dreadlocks hung forward across his shoulders as he exited his initial hearing.

A reporter asked Allen if he had any comment.

“God is good,” he said, his eyes locked on the ground. * * * Six months later, people tend to see only one of two sides to Antonio Allen. They rarely see any in between.

One can see both sides by watching interviews of Allen, the former IU football player who was arrested in his cream and crimson athletic shorts and shirt while exiting practice in June.

First, focus on Allen’s face while he listens to a reporter ask a question. One sees the stern, hardened eyes and tightly closed mouth of a 205-pound safety that once knocked an opposing running back out cold.

This is the face you see in his mug

shot, too.

This is the face most of the public thinks of.

Then watch the sharp transition when it’s his turn to speak. He flashes the vibrant three-quarter smile Ben Davis High School Coach Mike Kirschner says lights up any room he enters. Allen has golden teeth, which he said he copied off his father as he answers questions warmly and dots his answers with “sir.”

This is the face most who have ever met Allen think of — the hardworking sweetheart who is now taking classes at Indiana State.

This is the dilemma when trying to figure out the prized prospect who has fallen so hard from grace.

Is he the quiet, guarded guy from a rough neighborhood in Indianapolis who keeps to himself or the man whom former IU teammate Tim Bennett called the funniest player

on the team? Is he the star player whose peers assure had no ego and claim was “too real” for dealing, or the apparent drug dealer with a Colt .45 handgun found in his back bedroom?

The answer, as is the case with most human beings, is somewhere in between the extremes. * * *

IU Soul Revue performs holiday concert for donations

By Brooke McAfee bemcafee@indiana.edu | @bemcafee24601

The audience clapped and sang along during IU Soul Revue’s “Soulful Holiday Concert” on Tuesday as a group of singers and instrumentalists performed holiday music. The seats were filled in the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center Grand Hall. A group of audience members without seats danced in the back.

“This is about participating,” IU Soul Revue Director Tyron Cooper said as the performance began.

“This is a community.”

Cooper, a three-time Emmy award-winning musician and an assistant professor in the Department of African American and African Diaspora Studies, introduced the musicians throughout the concert.

The event was co-sponsored by the Office of the Vice President for Diversity, Equity and Multicultural Affairs and the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center. The ensemble is part of the African American Arts Institute.

The IU Soul Revue, which was founded in 1971, performs genres such as rhythm and blues, soul, funk and contemporary music.

The concert features music recorded and popularized by AfricanAmerican artists, Cooper said.

Students also recited poems about the holiday season between songs.

The concert not only highlights the students’ artistic ability, Cooper said, but also gives the audience the chance to see the students individually. The small venue makes this possible, he said.

“The audience will have the opportunity to get to know the musicians on a more intimate level,” Cooper said.

The students in IU Soul Revue are diverse in age, social background and cultural background, but the music brings them together, Cooper said.

The motto of the group is “one band, one sound,” Cooper said during the performance.

Cooper said the students are intellectual artists because they are conscious of why they sing and dance and they understand the meanings behind the music.

Admission to the event cost one canned good. The donations are given to Backstreet Missions, a non-profit organization located

in Bloomington that serves the homeless.

IU Soul Revue is excited to give back to the community and they view music as a vehicle for social change, Cooper said.

“The students are thinking beyond themselves and thinking of others,” Cooper said.

The holiday season brings out different aspects of the black popular music tradition and the music touches upon themes of love, family and relationships, Cooper said.

Second-year law student Marcus Phelps said “Soulful Holiday Concert” was his second time seeing the IU Soul Revue. He first saw them at the African American Arts Institute’s “Potpourri of the Arts” in November.

“They are extremely talented,” Phelps said. “They are like a party.

I’m looking forward to having fun and having a break from finals.”

Junior Unity Williams said she had also seen the group before at “Potpourri of the Arts.”

Williams said she has friends in the IU Soul Revue and she highly recommends any performance by ensembles in the African American Arts Institute.

These students work so hard on

their performance, she said.

Williams said the style of their performance is one of the aspects she likes about the group, and she was excited to see soul

incorporated into Christmas music.

“It feels like a really high-class performance at a low cost,” Williams said. “They bring high energy.”

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 her Facebook page, where last Friday Brown began posting about the case, she posted Smedley was found with “nothing in his backpack except school papers, a charger and an external hard drive.”

Brown also said while Smedley’s cell phone was never found, phone records showed a gap between his texts between 11 p.m. and 4 a.m. the day he had been reported missing.

The 4 a.m. text, regarding leaving the country, was his last.

“Now, for you guys that like to use your cell phone, that’s a long time to not say anything,” Brown said.

Brown said although Smedley’s phone was never located, his wallet was found in his pocket.

During the conversation,

Deonte said he immediately reached out to IU the morning of Smedley’s 4 a.m. text.

He said the school told him Smedley had been picked up by a police officer and taken to jail.

“This went on for three to four hours that they tried to convince us of this,” Deonte said.

He said he called the IU Police Department and Bloomington Police Department multiple times.

He said both departments told him Smedley had not been in their custody.

Brown also spoke about a note said to be left by Smedley after his disappearance.

She claimed the note was not in his handwriting. She said she found it odd that her brother, who was making plans with friends the evening of his disappearance, would have

committed suicide.

Smedley lived on Mitchell Street, Brown said, adding his car was “inoperable.” She said the text she received at 4 a.m. was sent from 7th and Walnut and the phone’s next location was found to be at Griffy Lake 30 minutes later.

“That’s extremely important,” Brown said. “If he passed away any time before 4 a.m., then that would say someone else sent me the text message.”

She said he was last seen with three of his Sigma Pi fraternity brothers and they had watched a blood moon together the night of his disappearance.

She also said Smedley was found with binoculars around his neck.

Brown told the students at the event what she was sharing was “100 percent factual” and it was “time to know the facts.”

“I really think it’s important that people start learning the facts and they take those facts and do what they want with them based off of what you know.”

Vivianne Brown, Smedley’s sister

“I really think it’s important that people start learning the facts and they take those facts and do what they want with them based off of what you know,” Brown said. “All I want to say is that keep your eyes and your ears open and sometimes what people tell you may not be what reality is.”

IU, the IU Police Department, the Bloomington Police Department and the Monroe County Coroner were not immediately available for comment.

IUPUI searches for vice chancellor From IDS reports

A national search for the position of IU-Purdue University Indianapolis executive vice chancellor and chief academic officer has begun.

As both chief academic officer and chief operating officer of the campus, the executive vice chancellor and chief academic officer plays a role in the development and implementation of the campus’ academic plans, according to an

IUPUI press release.

The executive vice chancellor and chief academic officer also plays a role in the recruitment and advancement of the campus’ faculty, according to the release.

The executive vice chancellor and chief academic officer reports to the chancellor and serves as chief executive officer in the chancellor’s absence.

The position was filled on a one-year interim basis by Kathy Johnson after

Nasser Paydar left the position in August to take the position of chancellor — IUPUI’s fifth — according to the release.

“We are committed to conducting a thorough and comprehensive national search to ensure a diverse, highly accomplished pool of candidates,” Paydar said in the release. “The visionary leader selected for this position will be expected to help build upon the campus’ national recognition as a ‘best national university’ as well

as its reputation as one of the best institutions in the country for its commitment to undergraduate teaching.”

The search committee is chaired by Michael Patchner, dean of IUPUI’s School of Social Work, according to the release. Committee members also include IUPUI faculty, staff, student and alumni representatives, and Purdue University representatives and community members.

Retired IU professor publishes book From IDS reports

Retired IU journalism professor Owen V. Johnson has published his book “At Home with Ernie Pyle” after 17 years of research on Pyle’s letters and articles, according to an IU press release.

In preparation for the book, Johnson spoke with many of the writer’s family members and friends, which led to his jokingly saying he often spends far too much time with “him.”

The story draws upon some of those letters and brings together Pyle’s writings about Indiana and its people during the first half of the 20th century, according to the release.

Growing up in Washington state, Johnson had read several books about and by Pyle and, like many people, was an admirer of Pyle’s work for many years.

It wasn’t until 1998, however, that an assignment for students in an IU intensive freshman seminar helped him realize the value of

re-examining Pyle through his personal letters.

“I had heard that there were some Pyle letters in the Lilly Library, so I created an assignment where the students had to read a couple of letters — one during peacetime and one during wartime — a couple of columns — one peacetime and one wartime — and an article in some kind of popular publication like Life or Look magazine,” Johnson said in the release.

The students came back and they were really excited, Johnson said in the release.

“These letters also showed another side of Pyle that they hadn’t imagined — some of them were very raunchy, very honest and very direct,” Johnson said in the release.

Johnson’s book started off as a project to collect Pyle’s personal correspondence.

But after collecting copies of more than 1,300 letters in more than 3,000 pages of manuscript, he said he

realized the project was too immense.

Pyle’s death by a Japanese machine-gunner in the waning years of the war in 1945 on Ie Island, just west of Okinawa, sealed a legacy of being known as one of the best journalists produced by the Hoosier state, according to the release.

“We had these myths about Pyle,” Johnson said in the release. “Supposedly he was praising the heroism and how we were fighting for such a good cause, but he didn’t really write that at all. He was just presenting the experience from the perspective of ordinary soldiers and sometimes from people like generals Omar Bradley and Dwight Eisenhower.”

The book contains all the columns Pyle wrote about the Hoosiers he encountered both inside and outside of Indiana’s borders.

Some columns are wellknown and others haven’t been reprinted since their original publication,

according to the release.

“Together, they tell us about his family and Owen about the Johnson lives of people in and from the state. More than one might have expected, Pyle found Hoosiers in other places, so much that he noticed it,” Johnson wrote in the book’s introduction. “These columns and Pyle’s life mirror Indiana’s change from a primarily rural, agrarian society to a modern, industrial one.”

Johnson said he hopes “At Home with Ernie Pyle” will be followed by other books.

He said he hopes one of the books takes a thorough look at the writer’s early formative years, a topic not emphasized in previous biographies, according to the release.

After IU-Bloomington Provost Lauren Robel reached out to student leaders on campus for input on racial issues at IU, IU Student Association Chief of Diversity and Inclusion Rob Sherrell and IUSA President Anne Tinder decided it would be a good idea to gather student leaders before meeting the provost in order to unify their message and develop clear talking points.

Close to 20 student leaders gathered last Friday for roughly two and a half hours to discuss the racial climate on this campus.

“I basically started the meeting like, ‘Here’s what IUSA knows. What everyone is here today to do is tell us what we don’t know,’” Tinder said.

Tinder said one major issue most attendees agreed was a problem is the lack of a director of diversity education on campus.

Another major issue discussed was the low retention and graduation rate among black students.

There are many reasons for the low retention rate among black students, but Sherrell said it is necessary black students feel welcome on campus before any other issue — such as a lack of money to continue paying tuition — is addressed.

“In order for us to have a higher retention rate, there are many things that have to happen,” Sherrell said. “But, above all, IU has to foster an environment where black students or students of color or African-American students can feel comfortable and they want actually to stay, regardless of any other outside circumstances.”

Sherrell said he feels it is important for IU to make an effort to educate the student body on the culture of racial, ethnic and cultural minorities, rather than leaving these educational efforts to the students in those communities.

Sherrell said joining student organizations and putting on educational events to educate their peers cuts into these students’ ability to do their school work.

“We are forced to educate the campus on our own about our culture,” Sherrell said. “That takes time out of our day. Being forced to make the environment that you’re in more culturally receptive of who you are, that can be strenuous on anyone’s academics.”

Sherrell said another issue is the grouping together of various people on campus who may not have the same needs or wants.

For example, black students include Americans who may or may not identify as being a part of the black community, as well

as students from Africa, Sherrell said.

“These are different communities, different cultures that the University decided to lump together,” Sherrell said.

The issue also arises when it comes to international students, Sherrell said.

He said there is a perception that international means Asian, when, in reality, international students come from across the globe, not just Asia, and thus have diverse needs and wants.

Ardin Yeo is an international student who attended the meeting. He is from Singapore and said a perception that bothers him is that all international students who look Asian must be Chinese.

Yeo also said he feels there is a perception that international students are recruited for their ability to pay rather than their qualifications, which affects Americans’ perceptions of their international peers.

The fact that there is such a large population of international students also causes tension, Yeo said.

“International students feel Americans are suspicious of them,” Yeo said.

“Because many Americans don’t come from diverse places themselves, this is not something you can help. When it comes to the shock of seeing so many of the so-called ‘same kind,’ I would assume that Americans feel very uncomfortable.”

Yeo said he feels international students are heavily recruited, but IU does not do a good job of integrating them into campus.

One idea he said he has for helping international and domestic students interact is to create a course similar to the intensive freshman seminar that would occur during both semesters of students’ freshman year. In this course, Yeo said students would be put into a diverse environment and have the opportunity to interact with students who might be different from them.

Yeo said he also feels a good solution to racial issues would be adding a diversity honor code at IU, which, if broken, could be followed by disciplinary action for the student.

Tinder mentioned the idea of adding a diversity pillar to the Indiana Promise.

As of now, an official meeting with the provost has not been scheduled, but Tinder said she plans to have future meetings with students to continue discussing the issues and follow up on any progress made.

“This isn’t about IUSA or IUSA being the leader of a movement,” Tinder said.

“It’s just about information gathering and using the position IUSA has to make a positive difference in the life of students.”

Christine Eartheart explained communication strategies with her husband Bret on Tuesday at the Venue Fine Art & Gifts. The Earthearts' lecture, "The Heart of Communication," helped to connect a person's relationships to their feelings of joy.

Experts give relationship tips

By Lyndsay Jones jonesly@umail.iu.edu | @lyndsayjonesy

The promise of relationship advice drew so many people to the Venue Fine Arts & Gifts on Tuesday evening that people sat on chairs, benches and the floor to hear two speakers tell them how to improve their communication skills.

Bret and Christine Eartheart are communication specialists who work primarily with couples. They say their communication suggestions are applicable to any sort of relationship.

Bret, a licensed therapist with 20 years of experience, said he was interested in nontraditional therapy methods.

“Research shows that couples often have the same difficult conversation for over 40 years,” Christine said.

Their work focuses on helping individuals and couples communicate more effectively, she said. Bret said all their methods were “battletested” — he and Christine

have been together for 13 years.

They determined there are five steps of communication in every thriving relationship: romance, a power struggle, commitment to connect, growth and awakening, and thriving.

“Bret and I fell in love. We just shared the shiniest part of ourselves,” Christine said.

“But this falling in love part of communication can apply to other relationships as well — like meeting your best friend.”

When they began to talk about how communication can become a power struggle, heads around the room nodded.

“How many have been in the power struggle?” Christine asked.

Hands across the room flew up.

The most common obstacle to listening is listening for the other person to be wrong, the Earthearts said.

“As humans, that’s just something we do,” Christine said.

They asked the audience to share what they struggled with.

“I’m a fixer,” one woman said. “I’ve got to fix your problems and have you listen to me because I have the solution.”

The people surrounding her cheered and clapped.

The most important part of the communication process appeared to be not shutting out the other person. The Earthearts kept returning to processes that helped people keep the other person engaged in the conversation.

“We’ll do a demo,” Christine said as she turned to Brett. “You need to take out the recycling. It’s been sitting in the garage for what feels like years. I feel like I’ve been asking this for so many years. It’s like you’re a child.”

Bret took a moment to think and the people around him burst into laughter.

“All right, first you breathe,” Bret said. “Okay, Christine.

What I heard you say is that you’re really frustrated with

how I haven’t done the recycling in awhile.”

Christine said she agreed with his response.

One woman in the audience said she couldn’t have responded the way Bret did.

“It’s a matter of will-power,” Bret said.

Audience member Michelle Colman said the techniques were effective — her son had used them when he was a teenager. She said once she had been irritated because he missed the bus and she had to take him to school, but he called her on her communication mistake.

“He said, ‘Mom, let’s talk about what you’re really mad about: me not taking the trash out last night,’” Colman said.

Christine said it was important to validate the speaker and to listen, rather than repeat the listening skills half-heartedly.

“Their underlying fear is that you’re just using a tool,” Christine said. “Really it’s a cry for you to get them and what they’re feeling.”

VITAL trains language, math tutors

By Cora Henry corahenr@indiana.edu | @coraghenry

A man in Bloomington wanted to sing in a gospel choir, but there was one problem: he couldn’t read.

He learned through Volunteers in Tutoring Adult Learners, a Monroe County Public Library program that provides one-on-one and small group tutoring to language learners in the community.

The man became comfortable enough with reading to join the gospel choir.

There he learned how to work a soundboard. His skills eventually led him to a job with a local radio station.

Other adult students may come to VITAL for help with

working toward obtaining American citizenship, drivers licenses, high school equivalency diplomas or better jobs.

“We have at least one pair here who have stayed together for 12 years,” VITAL coordinator Bethany Terry said. “The tutor doesn’t drive anymore, so the learner picks her up.”

Terry led an orientation for new tutors in VITAL’s suite of rooms on the second floor of the library Tuesday night.

Volunteers must commit to two hours a week: a one-and-a-half hour session with their student and a thirty-minute lesson planning period.

Many IU students become volunteers, but Terry said there is a good mix of

students, retired teachers and community members.

“Frequently I hear from folks, ‘Oh, I’ve wanted to do VITAL for years, and I’ve just never had a chance,” Terry said, and some of the participants training echoed that thought.

At the training Tuesday night, there were 11 attendees: three current students, a retired librarian and another retired man, a freelance editor and writer, and several other community members.

Training participant Sophia Raymond studies marketing and public relations at IU. “I want to teach an adult how to read or write or do an arithmetic problem so they

Get weekly news headlines sent straight to your inbox.

can better their lives,” Raymond said.

Other volunteers-in-training had years of experience tutoring or no experience at all. Some of them had walked into the library to find a volunteer opportunity and joined the VITAL training when they heard about the program.

Terry said she hopes people come out of the trainings with a greater understanding of adult literacy.

“Adult literacy is such a hidden issue,” Terry said. “You can’t just look at someone and see their literacy level.”

In general, VITAL has about 35 learners on its waitlist, Terry said. There are never quite enough tutors to meet the demand.

The section of Interstate-69 stretching 27 miles from U.S. 231 in Crane, Indiana, to State Road 37 just south of Bloomington opens today.

Construction for the four-lane highway between Indianapolis and Evansville, Indiana, and an interstate between Bloomington and Evansville began in 2012.

Will Wingfield of the Indiana Department of Transportation said the opening will generate more traffic into Bloomington.

It will also create easier access from Bloomington to the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Crane, Indiana, Wingfield said.

The interstate development has faced significant controversy throughout the entire planning and construction process.

I-69 was ordered to be built during the Mitch Daniels administration in spite of the negative findings in the “Donohue Study,” a report submitted to INDOT in 1990.

The report did not recommend the routes between Indianapolis and Evansville due to low cost-benefit ratios and uncertain funding.

Environmental groups also criticized the plan. The Hoosier Environmental Council predicted the interstate would require 4,000 acres of farmland to be paved, 2,000 acres of forest to be cut down and 650 caves to be disturbed.

In response to these complaints, Wingfield said the government has purchased 4,100 acres for environmental protection.

For some, it’s not enough.

“Our hearts are torn by this degradation of our homes, our farms, our forests and our rural communities,” said Thomas and Sandra Tokarski, advocates who fought the construction for years said in an email.

They suggested Indiana should adopt a new motto.

“The Crossroads of America: Easy to Get Through, No Reason to Stay.”

The Canopy of Lights extends all around City Hall and in the trees around the square.

Local businesses, organizations brighten streets From IDS Reports

The Canopy of Lights has brightened downtown Bloomington for 30 years.

CFC Properties lights the trees and buildings. Cassady Electric, Downtown Bloomington Inc. and Monroe County pitch in for the canopy. The City of Bloomington is in charge of the snowflakes, and IU provides the evergreen swags and red ribbons, according to Talisha Coppock, the executive director of Downtown Bloomington Inc. She said more than 30 businesses in downtown Bloomington support the lighting program.

It takes eight people to

hang the strands of more than 200,000 bulbs from the trees and the Monroe County Courthouse roof, according to CFC Properties President Jim Murphy.

Between 5,000 and 8,000 people typically attend the lighting ceremony during Thanksgiving weekend.

Though the lights are only turned on during the holiday season, they remain in place throughout the year.

The strings of lights are replaced every four years.

Coppock said the lights are meant to bring people downtown, revitatlize the area and celebrate the holidays as a community.

Stop excluding gendered violence from mass shooting analysis At 5:10 p.m., a gunman with a mini-14 rifle in hand and a hunting knife on his person entered a classroom at École Polytechnique in Montréal that was occupied by about 60 engineering students.

He ordered the women to the back of the room and for the men to leave.

When the students didn’t comply with his orders, he fired warning shots into the ceiling. The men left, fearing for their lives and leaving the women with the gunman.

The gunman asked the nine women in front of him if they knew why he was cornering them. One woman, Nathalie Provost, responded, “no.”

“I am fighting feminism,” he said in French. ”We are not feminists,” Provost said. “I have never fought against men.” But it was too late. The gunman began to open fire on the women.

“You’re all a bunch of feminists. I hate feminists.”

With the most recent mass shootings and the rise of men who feel exposed by the feminist movement, this account might sound like something you’d hear about on the evening news. But this shooting is more than a quarter of a century old.

Sunday marked the 25th anniversary of the École Polytechnique massacre, a shooting that left 14 women dead, a majority of them engineering students, because — according to the gunman — they were feminists and feminism had ruined his life.

Twitter welcomed the hashtag #Rememberthe14 Sunday to honor the young women who’d lost their lives and those like Provost, who had survived, inside an institute of learning where most of them were pursuing a career in a field dominated by men.

But as we remember these women, we forget how similar their fate is for women today.

This brutal killing is parallel to several gendered mass shootings we’ve seen recently.

The shooting at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs, Colorado, a few weeks ago seems to be an intentional attack on reproductive rights after the gunman muttered “no more baby parts” to law enforcement.

A gunman killed six people last year in Isla Vista, California, because “girls gave their affection and sex and love to other men but never to (him),” according to his own manifesto he posted on YouTube moments before the shooting.

Women have enough reasons to fear men, such as high rates of sexual assault, stalking and violence from an intimate partner,

Madison Hogan is a junior in journalism.

but we’ve been lying to ourselves if we believe this is an issue of individual safety. Gendered violence and misogyny can even be the motivation of a mass shooting.

But this never seems to be the topic of discussion when a shooting like the École Polytechnique massacre occurs.

News outlets bring up theories about mental illness and “beta-male mentality” that eventually create a vicious argument about restricting guns or managing those who are mentally ill better.

We never strictly address how often men kill women — as individuals and in groups — because they are women.

If you think this problem is a theory conducted by a femi-nazi who is using “rare” incidents to punish men, I ask you this: When is the last time you can remember a female shooter gunning down men specifically or citing men as the reason for their mass killing?

According to the FBI, of the 160 active shooter incidents between 2001 and 2013 in the U.S., only 6 involved female shooters.

The most recent female shooter of the San Bernardino terrorist attack was a jihadist, and it seems her targets weren’t specified by gender.

Everytown for Gun Safety, an advocacy group against gun violence that gained traction after the Sandy Hook shootings, conducted an analysis of mass shootings from January 2009 to July 2015 and found while “15 percent of total gun homicide victims in the U.S. between 2008-12 were female, 50 percent of the victims of mass shootings in this analysis were female.”

Men, not just women, should be concerned about these numbers, not only because we all should be fighting gendered violence but because men are not always spared in these attacks, and men are usually the shooters.

Feminism isn’t ruining men’s lives — the patriarchy ruins lives, and those who feel threatened by the dismantling of it probably benefit from the power scheme.

Feminism isn’t causing the deaths of women in these mass shootings, and feminism isn’t the reason for gendered violence — men are. maehogan@indiana.edu @madisonhogan

Women up in arms WE SAY: Women are officially allowed to enroll in combat roles, but it’s a different battle we’re worried about The Department of Defense, usually the last one to hop on the train of progress, has finally made a much needed step toward equality for women in the armed forces by finally opening combat roles to women.

From now on, any role in the military is open to any person, regardless of gender, who qualifies.

This decision, announced by Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter on Dec. 3, puts to rest outdated and misogynistic ideas that women (who pass the same physical and mental requirements as their male counterparts, according the Carter) are inferior in combat.

Women have already been serving in combat zones under fire, but without official combat titles and positions, according to the New York Times.

This restriction didn’t keep women out of combat, but it did keep them from advancing in the military due to lack of official combat experience on their records.

While this is a huge step for the equality and recognition of women in the armed forces, we here on the Editorial Board have to recognize the legitimate concerns of encouraging even more women to join the armed forces.

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, a range of 20 percent to 48 percent of women in the military are reported as experiencing military sexual assault, which is a startling number, even when compared to the national average of one in six women being sexually assaulted in their lifetime.

Eighty percent of women in the military reported experiencing sexual harassment.

On top of these reported figures, CNN reported in 2013 that “victims are often pressured to remain quiet or endure having their reputations and careers tarnished for coming forward.”

This culture of coerced silence is just starting to be addressed, with the addition of special victims units within the military

and specialized training to identify and eradicate sexual misconduct, according to CNN. However, these measures are only successful if the people running them aren’t also misled by the conqueror/conquest mindset of some in the military that so easily lends itself to rape. Even with these new departments in place, it’s unclear how much safer victims of sexual assault, both male and female, really are.

Due to the nature of the work in the military, victims are often stuck in the same physical space as their attacker, whether it be a submarine or the front lines.

What is the protocol for reporting an attack that takes place during an operation?

The real solution would be to change the culture of the military away from encouraging aggression, regardless of whether it’s toward your own comrades, and away from victim blaming.

Opening combat roles to women in the military

is a fantastic step — it’s the best news we’ve heard since the armed forces officially allowed gay men and women to enroll in 2011.

But we can’t pretend that it was just the bogus restrictions that hold women back. For a long time, the armed forces has paraded itself as a boys club and it’s going to take a while before that belief and mentality among those in it dissipates.

The military offers a lot of good opportunities and it’s only fair that women have an equal shot to better themselves through the education and training that the military provides.

We don’t want to cut anyone short here.

However, it’s not fair that in order to accept these opportunities, recruits put themselves at great risk of sexual assault and harassment from the men in their units.

Women in the military have won this battle for equality, but the war isn’t over yet.

A SLICE OF SOMETHING REAL

After years of misrepresentation, more black artists featured in museums It’s no secret that the art museums of the world are whitewashed both in their appearance and lack of artwork by artists of color, particularly artwork by black artists.

In recent years, more curators and museum buyers have made efforts to include artwork by black artists.

According to the New York Times, “the Museum of Modern Art has hired a curator whose mission is to help fill the wide gaps in its African-American holdings and exhibitions.”

While I’m more than glad to see a major museum like the MoMA hire a curator who will make it a goal to correct the wrongs of previous curators, I can’t help but

think that filling the gaps of art history by including artists that should have been there all along should be the goal of every curator.

As an art history major, I had to take a class that was specifically about AfricanAmerican art to learn about black artists.

And it’s not as if black artists were making art that was vastly different from white artists, it’s just that their artwork did not fit into the Eurocentric museum narrative of modern art.

According to the New York Times, as abstraction and modernist formalism became mainstream, black artwork was rejected by “the white establishment” because the works were more

“figurative and too narrowly expressive of the black experience.”

While rejecting artwork for an exhibition based on differing formal elements is understandable, rejecting artwork because it is expressive of the artist’s identity and experience is shameful and hypocritical given that the few black artworks that were shown in the past were specifically chosen for their depiction of the black experience.

Art dealer Michael Rosenfeld told the New York Times, that “up until about five years ago, when curators came to (art dealers), they were really only interested in narrative works that showed the black

experience so they could demonstrate in no uncertain terms to their visitors that they were committed to representing black America.”

Whether artworks by black artists were accepted based on their particular narrative or rejected due to formal concerns, it is clear that artworks by black artists were judged more critically and were far less likely to be shown than similar artworks by white artists.

Moreover, even though it was hard for black men to get their artwork noticed, it was even harder for black women to have their art featured in museums.

Assemblage sculptor Betye Saar told the New

York Times, “We were invisible to museums and the gallery scene”, when speaking about the black, female artist experience.

Many black artists were simply unknown because of their difficulty in getting to show their work on highly regarded platform.

And while it is not as if there were absolutely no African-American artists exhibited in museums, there were only about two or three highly-featured black artists in museums and studios across the country.

As abstractionist Alma Thomas told The New York Times, “the exceptions prove the rule.”

When I think about how black artists have been left

Rachel Miller is a senior in art history and political science.

out of the compilation of art history shown in museums until a few years ago, it makes me think of how American identity and culture has been constructed to leave people of color out of it.

But most of all, I am disappointed that AfricanAmerican artists are just recently getting the recognition, praise and place in history they have always deserved. rcm2@indiana.edu @RachelCMiller1

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Think before you join in groupthink and clap for the wrong reasons The auditorium of the School of Global and International Studies at IU was packed on Nov. 18 for a teach-in by various IU faculty regarding the Paris terrorist attacks.

Professor Leslie Lenkowsky spoke about his role as the CEO of the Corporation for National and Community Service during George W. Bush’s presidency.

After 9/11, Bush sent Lenkowsky to Dearborn,

Michigan, to get a better understanding of Arab-American sentiment towards the U.S. Lenkowsky spoke of some Arab-Americans telling him that they wished to be seen not just as Arabs, but as Americans, too.

Lenkowsky concluded his speech by suggesting that we should reassess Arab-Americans’ loyalty to the U.S. Equally appalling was that the majority of the audience, including most

panelists, applauded Lenkowsky. Maybe some agreed with him, while others succumbed to a kneejerk reaction to maintain social hegemony or social custom.

Whether due to agreement, primate mentality or courteousness, I am distraught by everyone that applauded. This should be an environment for critical thinking.

I do not believe we should applaud someone simply because sounds emit

from their mouth.

Another panelist, Professor Feisal Istrabadi, sternly criticized Lenkowsky’s remarks. Thankfully, the audience applauded again, louder and more enthusiastically.

All of you who applauded Lenkowsky should think about what his remarks, and the message you send by your applause, could entail.

While thinking about it, research the U.S.’s history of ethnic internment camps, genocide and systemic

racism. If you applauded both Lenkowsky and Istrabadi’s reply, also read up on cognitive dissonance and some of the historically atrocious outcomes of groupthink.

As for Professor Lenkowsky, I pose a few questions for you. How exactly should we go about testing the loyalty of Arab-Americans?

Secondly, as one of Slavic and Jewish ancestry, do you believe that we should also question the loyalty of you

and others that share your ethnic backgrounds because of terrorist acts perpetrated by some Russians or Israelis?

Lastly, if the Corporation for National and Community Service cannot even keep track of how many AmeriCorps volunteers we have, how do we keep track of the loyalties of all the ArabAmericans living in the U.S.?

Don’t turn away Syrian refugees out of fear

Join local divestment movement, Reinvest IU

ISIS is a monster and must be gone. Fighting terrorism has to be a No. 1 priority.

Sadly though, instead of closing ranks, we have a raging political imbroglio going on. Republican legislators, employing their usual fear and hatred tactics, would slam the door on Middle Eastern refugees, especially Syrians.

What we have is another

dark ethnic interlude dotting an American historical landscape otherwise proud of its diversity. We call it Xenophobia. It was there in the 1840s against IrishCatholics fleeing the Ireland potato famine, there in early WWII with the European Jews running from the coming Holocaust and there for American citizens of Japanese descent.

Republican politicos

are demanding iron-clad certification, 100 percent assurance and a pause for Syrian refugee entry. A rigid refugee screening system in place for 14 years gives us as much assurance as one could reasonably expect from a terrorist threat.

Get this: since 9/11, out of 750,000 refugees admitted to the U.S., not one has the terrorist taint.

If the Gov. Pence people

want absolute secluded safety, maybe they should try one of Monroe county’s caves. They’d probably drown, though, with the first rainstorm as the cave flooded. I’d take my changes with a Syrian refugee family.

Seriously, let’s not lose sight of who we are.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

IUSA rightfully passes anti-Semitism legislation After toiling for months, putting our homework on the backburner and losing sleep over this resolution, Students Supporting Israel at IU would like to applaud the Indiana University Student Association for voting in favor of condemning antiSemitism, but more importantly for acting in the interest of our Jewish community here on campus.

At a time when anti-Semitism is at an all-time high for our peers on other campuses, our student congress condemns such actions and has acted toward creating an even more inclusive environment for minority groups on campus.

Over the past school year, seeing what our friends go through on other campuses, we realized how lucky we are at IU. When we came back this semester, we were inspired to do something for

our community. Although we have a mostly inclusive campus, Indiana is not immune from the evils of anti-Semitism.

For example, In March of this year, 30 men marched from the sample gates holding signs and wearing Nazi memorabilia. During Hanukkah on December of 2010, someone took eight Hebrew texts from the Wells Library and placed them in eight different bathrooms.

They then proceeded to throw them in the toilet and urinate on them. There are also many unreported incidents of swastikas being drawn all around campus, mainly in dorms.

Our resolution addresses anti-Semitism as a local, national and global phenomenon that is antithetical to the values of the IU community, and thus aligns IUSA with the U.S. Department of State’s definition

of anti-Semitism and its implications.

In addition, our resolution makes strides for many on our campus. It guarantees that our future IUSA leaders will be trained in diversity, which was never required before. It is up to our IUSA leaders to know and understand the issues that affect its constituents, and this resolution furthers that commitment. It strives to make IUSA better liaisons to our entire campus by supporting any and all efforts against hate.

We are proud to leave our legacy on this campus and protect future generations of Jewish students at IU, but also inspire other minority groups to do the same. Our current society is reactive and not proactive.

We as students need to take a stand and be proactive, which is what our resolution strives to do. We would like

to encourage every group on campus to be proactive and not wait for something tragic to happen to make a difference.

We, as Jewish students, took a proactive stance and want to inspire others to do the same.

But of course, none of this could have happened without the organizations that have trained us to be the strong leaders that we are.

Special thanks to StandWithUs, Hasbara, Hillel, Aish Indiana and Chabad for supporting us along the way.

And most of all, we would like to thank our IUSA allies, Jason Shader Smith, Nate Meyers and Andrew Klepner for standing up for us in Congress. Without them, this resolution would not have had the same amount of support.

Should IU be supporting and profiting from the very industry that poses one of the greatest threats to your future?

The international climate change talks now taking place in Paris can seem distant and beyond the participation of students at IU, but there is something much closer at hand that can be done.

Consider joining the local divestment movement known as Reinvest IU, a student organization dedicated to moving IU to cease any new investments in fossil fuel companies, begin divesting from the top fossil fuel companies and reinvest in more socially and environmentally responsible companies.

Divestment efforts at IU are part of a global movement that holds the fossil fuel industry accountable for its culpability in climate change.

The aim of this movement is to raise awareness about the causes of climate change, to further expose an industry that has an iron grip on our government and economy, and to remove funding from fossil fuel production.

The reasons for fossil fuel divestment are many. Climate change has emerged as a grave danger to human civilization.

The rise in global temperatures has already produced weather-caused disasters that have been responsible for the loss of many human lives, drops in agricultural production and staggering economic costs.

The 2014 report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, authored by over 800 of the world’s leading climate scientists, has asserted that we must keep 80 percent of the remaining reserves of fossil fuels in the ground if we are to have any chance at avoiding climate catastrophe.

This means stopping business as usual for the fossil fuel industry.

Warnings by financial

advisors that investments in coal, oil and gas are becoming risky are intensifying by the day.

This is an industry that is increasingly being stigmatized in a world market that is waking up to the dangers of fossil fuel-induced climate change.

As international pressure mounts to stop burning fossil fuels, these companies will be stuck with stranded assets.

It would be prudent for IU to shift its investments into more financially sound and environmentally responsible companies, which are beginning to outperform those tied to the fossil fuel industry.

Most importantly, however, the movement for fossil fuel divestment is motivated by profound ethical concerns.

The educational mission of universities like IU aims to provide the best possible future for students.

Underwriting the very companies that threaten that future is incongruent with this mission.

Investing funds to support further development of fossil fuel corporations that seriously undermine the well-being of students’ future is morally reprehensible and makes a mockery of a university’s very commitment to nurturing beneficial futures.

Recognizing that divestment is one of the best tools available to reign in the rampant production of fossil fuels, many universities have already committed to divestment.

Please write President McRobbie (Bryan Hall 200) and respectfully urge him to work with the IU Foundation to find a pathway forward to divest from fossil fuels. And then join Reinvest IU; contact can be made at https://www.facebook.com/reinvestIU. David Haberman IU Professor of religious studies

» ALLEN

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 ranked near the top for decades. Allen grew up in an environment of murder and drugs.

Ellis Johnston, 18, played football with Allen at Ben Davis and spent much of his senior year in Haughville.

Johnston lived two houses down from a woman, who was strangled to death and burned last year. He was surrounded by crack addicts, he said. A bootleg house was located right behind his place.

He didn’t have a working light on his side of a duplex so he had to run a wire from the neighbor’s place.

“Everybody else around us was packing,” he said.

Yet Allen always seemed to rise above the preconceived notions of the possibilities for a kid from Haughville. Leah Johnson, an IU student and former IDS editor who graduated from Ben Davis, said he was someone everyone knew because of his talent, which transcended any of Haughville’s limitations.

He was courted by a long list of college recruiters and decided to commit to Ole Miss, an SEC program, during his junior year.

“This kid was the hope of our district,” Johnson said.

“The hope of his neighborhood and his family and our community.”

This wasn’t simply another talented kid at Ben Davis.

Allen was someone whom Johnson described as an “inherently good” person. People lit up on the school bus when he entered. Kirschner said he remembers teachers talking about how much they liked him and enjoyed his personality in class well before he became a star player.

Some referred to Allen as a hero to people of the district.

When he decommitted from Ole Miss in July 2012 and instead decided to play at IU — the struggling in-state program — just 10 days later, it only reinforced his hero status in his home neighborhood.

They couldn’t help but see the future for him.

“He’s really gonna do something with his life,” Johnson said she remembers

thinking. “He has a chance that none of us are gonna ever have because he was so, so talented.” * * * There was a tree in front of Allen’s childhood home. Allen’s father used to make him tackle it until he knocked the bark off the tree. He couldn’t go to his little league game until the bark was knocked off, even if the game was well into the second quarter.

“A tree can’t move,” Allen said in a 2012 interview. “Now I’m hitting these boys and they’re moving farther back.”

Allen hit so hard he wasn’t allowed to tackle in practice.

He wasn’t afraid to point out his own flaws on the field.

He admitted in an interview at IU in 2015 that he was confused sometimes in a show of an uncommon sense of humility.

Allen was part of the 2013 IU recruiting class that was considered to be one of the most talented in program history. The objective was to turn around a disastrous program with star in-state players.

“If we start winning games in a couple of years and get it going,” he told the Bloomington Herald-Times after his commitment, “People are going to look back at this and say, ‘Yeah, Antonio Allen was on that team.’” * * * A confidential informant entered Allen’s 19th Street apartment across from Memorial Stadium with $620 in cash from the Indiana State Police and a video recording device, according to records.

He came out with two bags: one with 6.5 grams of heroin, the other with 2.2 grams of meth.

Allen was seen in the video counting the money, weighing the narcotics and handing them to the informant. A poster of him hung on the wall.

After the second controlled purchase of $770 worth of methamphetamine.

ISP had what they needed to search Allen’s apartment.

They found half-smoked blunts in the cabinet, a scale covered with white powder, a

Colt .45 handgun and a plastic Tide container with 47 grams of cocaine, 13 grams of heroin and $920 inside.

“This is a high-profile case because who he is and where his future was,” ISP Sgt. Curt Durnil said the day after the arrest. “Now it seems that future is pretty much in jeopardy.”

Fans have tried to reconcile the gap between the football star beloved by his community and the man arrested for drug possession. The answer might lie with Allen’s father, Antonio Lee Allen I. “All I know is he deals in real estate,” Kirschner said about Allen’s father.

Others call him one of the most prominent drug dealers in Indianapolis.

He pleaded guilty to criminal confinement and domestic battery in 2004. Charges of firearm possession by a violent felon and marijuana possession were dismissed.

He spent 142 days in jail and violated his probation four months later.

In 2011, the father pleaded guilty to resisting law enforcement.

One anonymous source said anybody who is involved in the illegal drug business knows Allen’s father. But Kirschner said he found it important to say he was nothing but respectful when he sat in Kirschner’s office. He said Allen moved around a lot but lives with his mother, as his parents are not together.

Bonner said he remembers seeing Allen’s whole family come down for his first IU football game.

“His dad was just, like, so excited, cheesing and all that stuff,” he said. “You could just tell his dad was very proud and happy to have his son playing for IU.” The grey-dreadlocked man Allen hid behind in the courthouse was his father. * * * Kirschner’s office is covered wall-to-wall with memorabilia, mostly of his former players.

There are plaques and pictures of people who have gone on to play college ball or even make the NFL. There are far

fewer reminders of his three sectional titles or his 2014 state championship.

Kirschner is a strongjawed man with a tight white goatee and a cleanly shaven head who still looks like he could hold his own in an Oklahoma drill if he got the rush. Everything about him says football coach.

Antonio Allen is still on the wall, along with Asmar Bilal, who plays at Notre Dame; Isaiah Lewis, who plays at Michigan State; and Tandon Doss, who won a Super Bowl with the Baltimore Ravens.

“As disappointed as we are, the relationship hasn’t changed,” Kirschner said.

Kirschner has the statistics ready about Ben Davis as if he has to recite them quite often.

There’s the $35,000 average income for a family of four, the fact 80 percent of students are on free and reduced lunch programs and the 63 different languages spoken at Ben Davis.

Coaching at a school like Ben Davis is hardly just about football. Kirschner and his staff buy groceries for players.

He has a jar of money in his office so players can come get change after workouts to buy a drink or a power bar. Players, raiding his fridge for food, are often at his house.

The coach, however, admits he’s tired.

“Me and my wife decided many years ago this was maybe God’s way of telling us this is our mission.”

But the relationship between Kirschner and Allen was still close. Allen was often over in high school for dinner with Kirschner’s family.

Allen’s little brother, Rondell, started as a sophomore safety for the Ben Davis Giants this season, much like Allen once did.

Antonio Allen tried to make it to every game he could to support his brother.

“If he can get here, he’s getting here,” Kirschner said.

Kirschner said he still loves Allen unconditionally. He said he doesn’t condone anything Allen did, and he’s had meetings with Allen about the situation and has made it clear he is disappointed. * * * The failure of the hope of Haughville upsets those who knew Allen or even knew of him. Nobody justifies his actions, but very few are angry with him. Rather, they’re frustrated with the world that dealt Allen the wrong hand from the outset.

It’s almost as if people want to wait and hope this is all a dream.

“I don’t want to go look at it through the media’s eyes and view him off that because I know him as a person,” Bennett said. “I know he is a good person.”

“It didn’t have to go down like this,” Johnson said. “It didn’t have to end this way.”

“We don’t know what his

reasoning was for doing what he did,” Johnston said. “We don’t know. He could have been sending the money back home ... he’s very family-oriented.”

Allen’s Instagram account is an avenue into his life since the arrest. He can be seen dancing in his Trent Richardson Indianapolis Colts jersey or posing for pictures with either of his parents.

Now Allen is at Indiana State and is sitting out the season due to transfer rules and awaiting his trial. His original December trial was cancelled and a new one has yet to be scheduled.

Kirschner just said he hopes he appreciates his opportunities, much like he said he appreciated all the trips to Kirschner’s fridge for food.

“If you do something very stupid again, I made it very clear,” Kirschner said he told Allen. “Don’t come back. I can’t do it twice. I can’t go through it twice.”

The Instagram account can explain how Allen sees his future. It is positive. It is hopeful.

In one post, he posed in front of a silver Cadillac SUV in a Jewel Brand t-shirt with the caption, “The shirt tell it at all.”

“Minor setback,” the shirt read, “major comeback.”

THE DRUM MAJOR The face of IU’s Marching Hundred pushes himself to be perfect in his final season

By Andrew Vailliencourt availlie@indiana.edu | @AndrewVcourt

Bang Co stands in the middle of a parking lot surrounded by more than 200 of his closest friends. His gloved hands grip a four-pound silver mace that gleams in the sun. His expression hidden behind dark sunglasses, the band — his band — continues to play the third song of its homecoming show, “Get It On.” Co is the drum major, the student leader of IU’s renowned marching band, the Marching Hundred. He tosses the mace up and catches it with his left hand as the song ends. He shakes his head in disgust — the toss wasn’t smooth enough — and wipes his forehead with the sleeve of his white Kilroy’s T-shirt.

He has three days to perfect his routine for the homecoming show, and nothing but perfection will be good enough.

He has to push himself to an elite level, or he’ll get bored. It’s that challenge, that drive to be better, that keeps him going. Without the constant motivation to get closer to perfection, Co said he wouldn’t be where he is. He might not be in band, let alone the drum major. Every limit has to be tested. He wants to know how far he can go.

He knows it might even be unhealthy, but he can’t stop. He enjoys it.

With Co, it’s a battle between what’s idealistic and what’s realistic. No one is harder on himself than he is. Even if others expect perfection, he expects himself to be better than perfection. He knows it’s not possible, but that won’t stop him from trying. * * * The drum major is the face of the

marching band. He leads the band onto the field, helps run rehearsals, assists the directors and most of all is a leader. The drum major is the face everyone in the band instantly recognizes. In Co’s case, he has seen every other member of the Marching Hundred’s first day with the band.

Co stands in his own corner of Gladstein Fieldhouse. An exit sign glows green above him as he puts on his all-white uniform with red trim and black boots with the IU insignia on his chest. The uniform means something to Co. It represents a family, a tradition and an entire state. He will put on this uniform for the last time at the conclusion on the football season after the school’s first bowl game since 2007.

In less than an hour his talents will be watched by more than 40,000 people, yet he has no nerves. After all, this is his sixth homecoming with the IU band and second as drum major. Bang is the first Asian-American drum major in IU history, and the 23-year old master’s student had just performed in front of a sold-out crowd against Ohio State the week before.

Game time. Co gives a series of thumbs-ups before leading the band on its march to Memorial Stadium.

Four small children stand on the curb in the stadium parking lot with their arms outstretched. Co runs over and high fives each one of them before returning to his place in front of the cheerleaders and marching down to the field. * * * He said he remembers being confused. Why did he have to go to one place to see his dad and another to see his mom?

Co’s parents got divorced when he was still a toddler. They had lived together as a family in Lincoln, Nebraska, for less than two years. Neither parent spoke English well. His mother’s side of the family was from Vietnam, and his father’s was from Hong Kong. Vietnamese and Cantonese were the languages spoken at home and would cause Co to need English as a second language courses in elementary school. He grew attached to his teacher, whom he viewed as a second mother to him while his own mother went through medical school.

During fourth grade, in 2002, Co’s mother came to him with news. They would be moving to Indiana.

Co was devastated. He would be leaving behind his favorite teacher and his father, who would be staying in Nebraska.

“Having to say goodbye to those two people was difficult for me,” Co said. “It was heartbreaking. It took me quite a few years to understand and accept that things happen and life moves on.” * * * Co’s musical journey began in fifth grade when he joined the school orchestra, but just a year later he switched to band, where he picked up the flute.

Co chose the flute because it was the only instrument he couldn’t make a sound on.

For three years, he was terrible.

Last chair or close to it each year, there didn’t seem to be a future for Co and the flute. Years later, his middle school director Steve Humphrey would tell him half-jokingly that he was so bad he wished he’d have quit because he didn’t add anything to the

band.

Co pressed on.

“I saw a lot of people who were giving up or had an apathetic tendency towards band,” Co said. “They didn’t appreciate the values of music and band, and it made me think about why I enjoyed it.”

For Co, music was about making a connection with the self. It wasn’t black and white.

“I never realized I was driven or ambitious until I got into music,” Co said. “Sometimes I would ask myself, ‘Why do I keep at this?’ ... It was frustrating because I was so bad. I didn’t realize I had this characteristic.”

In high school, things changed.

He joined marching band and made wind ensemble his sophomore year, where he truly felt a sense of family within the band program.

By the spring, his friends had convinced him to try out for drum major.

He was addicted to the rewarding feeling he got when his hard work paid off. Soon enough he was being interviewed by band directors, writing essays, being tested on conducting, marching and vocal commands.

He was named drum major for his junior and senior years. * * * Stanford or Indiana? He was accepted into all of the schools he applied to but was left with his father’s alma mater and IU, the in-state option, as his final two options.

He says the choice was easy — he wanted to stay close to his family. He has a role within his family and said he doesn’t want to stray far enough away that he couldn’t come home.

» DRUM MAJOR

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 The oldest of three brothers, he’s the family rock. His father is in California with his new wife. His mother is in Indiana with her fiancé.

He talks to his brothers and mother nearly every day. He talks to his father every week. He said he often thinks about where he came from.

He takes every chance he gets to be with family because he said he doesn’t want to lose it. Most of him is comfortable with staying this close to everyone he loves, but there is always that sense that he needs to live life by himself and see what’s out there in the world.

“I’ve come to the realization that I need to go out on my own, face life by myself, learn all these lessons on my own, so that I can better support my family in the future,” Co said. “Without certain lessons, then how can I help the family grow?” * * * He didn’t pursue being drum major at IU for anyone but himself. He needed to prove to himself he was still good and he still had it. He needed to validate everything he had done in high school. It was difficult for Co not to be drum major for his first four years at IU, but not being in band was never an option.

“You don’t get to do marching band forever,” Co said. “There’s only a very limited time. Eight or so years, and that’s so miniscule in the grand scheme of your life. So I wanted to take every opportunity I could to march.”

Upon becoming a member of the Marching Hundred his freshman year, he had already made a decision. He would audition for drum major every year until he was chosen, and he did.

Marching Hundred Band Director Dr. Dave Woodley said Co was top two in every category he and his panel judged. Woodley and his team would judge pro-

spective drum majors on whistles, conducting, voice commands, marching style and on a specialty that was to be performed to show they were a showman. Co did a combination of dance and spinning the mace.

“He was a very popular band member,” Woodley said. “And I don’t mean that as, ‘oh he’s friendly,’ but just you could tell when he interacted with the other piccolos and with the other band members, there was just that leadership quality about him that I knew would be important.”

Co was such a popular choice for drum major that Woodley said the applause he received when announced at band camp was likely the loudest he’s ever heard in his 23 years as director.

It was the start of something special even when compared to successful drum majors of the past.

“He has worked the hardest and continues to work the hardest,” Woodley said. “I don’t think Bang ever mails it in. He’s always asking questions, he’s always trying to get better, and our rehearsals run as smoothly as they’ve ever run, and that’s based on Bang’s leadership style.” * * * Co stands in front of his band and leads them in the singing of the alma mater.

It’s hours away from kickoff against Michigan, but he can’t keep the tears out of his eyes.

The tears never fully go away throughout the afternoon and into the evening, as the Hoosiers take the ranked Wolverines into overtime.

After the game, he looks around him as the crowd empties out of Memorial Stadium for the final time in 2015. He’s soaking in every detail, every sight he sees, because he said he knows it will be the last time. He hugs a director who offers words of encouragement while waiting to walk off the field. It’s dark except for the stadium lights, and sudden-

Moren pulls off win against her former team

Sophomore guard Tyra Buss loses the ball as she goes for a layup against Indiana State. Buss led the Hoosiers in scoring with 15 points against the Sycamores, helping IU improve its record to 6-2.

Hoosiers defeat Sycamores

By Teddy Bailey eebailey@indiana.edu @TheTeddyBailey

With 3:07 remaining in the third quarter, all was going well for the Hoosiers.

Sophomore guard Tyra Buss converted on a layup to give IU a comfortable twelve-point lead and allow for some breathing room in IU Coach Teri Moren’s Indiana State homecoming.

Then the Hoosiers stopped making shots.

After Buss’ layup, IU would miss its next 13 shots from the floor and turn the ball over five times in the fourth quarter alone. The Sycamores consistently cut the deficit throughout the final frame before sophomore forward Ashley Taia attempted a potential game-winning 3-pointer with six seconds remaining.

Taia’s shot bounced off the inside part of the rim, though, and Moren could finally exhale. IU had survived, 53-50, on the road against in-state rival Indiana State.

“We squeaked out of here with a victory tonight,”

Moren said. “I’m disappointed that we had a difficult time scoring down the stretch. It’s always nice to get wins, but we have to learn something from this.

We’re walking out of here lucky.”

Indiana State called a timeout with 15 seconds remaining as IU led 52-50.

Sophomore forward Ashley Taia of Indiana State, who scored a game-high 21 points, ended up missing the 3-pointer before teammate and senior guard Alexis Newbolt grabbed the rebound underneath the basket. Newbolt’s layup was too soft off the glass, and 6-foot-3 junior center Jenn Anderson grabbed the defensive rebound in traffic to seal the game.

“No threes,” Buss said of the final play. “We needed to lock up on Ashley Taia — she was their hot shooter tonight. We needed to make sure that we guarded her by communicating and fighting through screens.”

IU led 33-21 at halftime courtesy of ten points each from Buss and sophomore forward Amanda Cahill.

IU junior defender earns All-American Team honors

By IDS reports

Junior defender Kate Barber added two more postseason awards to her credit when she was named to the National Field Hockey Coaches Association All-American Third Team and Synapse Sports All-American team.

These awards come a week after Barber was named to First Team All-West Region by the NFCHA and a month after she was named a unanimous First Team All-Big Ten selection.

Barber was second on the team in goals scored with eight and recorded seven

assists and tallied two defensive saves in IU’s five conference wins — the most in program history.

Barber also won the Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week award after consecutive shutout wins against Ohio State on the road and Penn State at home. .

IU Coach Amanda Janney described Barber as a hardnosed defender who grinds it out in the backfield and makes many good plays. She said Barber is well-respected by her teammates on the field as one of two junior captains.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Former Hoosiers named to Silver Anniversary Team

By IDS reports

Former IU basketball players Mike Evans and Alan Henderson were among the 18 men named to the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame’s Silver Anniversary Team, which recognizes accomplishments in high school basketball beginning 25 years ago.

Evans played for Terra Haute South, and Henderson played for Brebuef in Indianapolis. Both were named to the Indiana All Stars while they were in high school as well and excelled during their time in Bloomington.

Evans was named the Big Ten MVP in 1996 after averaging 21.2 points per game and grabbing 7.1 rebounds per game. Henderson was named an All-American in 1995 after averaging 23.5 points and 9.7 rebounds per game.

The Silver Anniversary Team will be honored at the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame’s banquet March 23, 2016, in the Primo Banquet Hall in Indianapolis. There will also be a midday reception at the Hall of Fame Museum in New Castle, Indiana.

Michael Hughes

The duo was able to remain effective throughout the third frame before a mistake-filled fourth quarter.

The Hoosiers weren’t able to create the same shots that they made in the first twenty minutes of play.

“We came out with a lot of energy, but late in the game we panicked a little,” Buss said. “We played hard but we have to learn a lot from this. We have to take care of the ball and stay calm. We got late in the shot clock a lot and didn’t get many good looks, that’s when we need to calmly attack the basket.”

The Hoosiers turned the ball over 18 times against the Sycamores. Turnovers have plagued IU in its nonconference schedule. The Hoosiers turned the ball over a combined 44 times against DePaul and IU-Purdue University Fort Wayne.

“Any time you take bad shots and turn the ball over, it gives the opposing team an opportunity to run out,” Moren said. “That’s what happened and we have to clean that up. I’m disappointed — there were mo-

ments where we were careless with the basketball.”

On Tuesday night in Terre Haute, Indiana, the Hoosiers avenged a 65-61 overtime loss that was suffered last season at home.

Last year’s loss was similar to this year’s game, as IU blew a seven-point halftime lead to the Sycamores in Moren’s first game against her former team.

“Last year, I think they just wanted to come in here and beat me,” Moren said.

“There’s a bit of motivation from that. That’s all in fun.

I think they just expect to win. I don’t think it matters if it’s Indiana or Butler next week. I didn’t expect anything less than what we got, and that was their best tonight.”

IU improved to 6-2 on the season as they begin to finish a treacherous nonconference slate. The Hoosiers will return home to Assembly Hall on Friday to face Samford before playing University of Miami and West Virginia in the Florida Sunshine Classic on December 20th and 21st, respectively.

When IU women’s basketball took the court in Terre Haute, Indiana, Tuesday night, a standing ovation rained down from the 2,340 fans in the stands — an unusually loud introduction for an away team.

It wasn’t for the Hoosiers’ program or their players, though.

It was for IU Moren Coach Teri Moren, who was returning to the Hulman Center for the first time since she coached Indiana State in 2014.

As she walked along the scorer’s table toward the IU bench, she waved to the crowd, smiled to those who called out “Coach” and blew kisses to a family who was seated across the baseline.

Then she took her place in front of the bench and coached the Hoosiers to a 53-50 victory.

“It’s hard,” Moren said about her homecoming. “Not just to play your friends but some of those kids I recruited. We’re just happy to get out of here with a win.”

After the buzzer sounded on a game that came down to the final play, Moren was immediately greeted by her former players and recruits.

She also shared a hug with Indiana State Coach Joey Wells.

But the second-year coach was far from joyous with the win and the return to a home where she posted a 69-32 record as a coach.

“I can tell you this — this series is over,” Moren said, stretching her arms out to her sides. “We’re not doing it anymore. It’s never fun to play your friends.”

On Monday night on her radio show, Moren said Indiana State circles

IU 53, INDIANA STATE 50 Points Buss, 15 Steals Towner, 3 Assists Buss, 3 the date it plays IU every year and that playing the Big Ten team is one of the biggest season matchups.

The Sycamores have played the Hoosiers well in the two years that Moren has coached IU. The team defeated IU last year in overtime, 65-61, and then played them to the last second in Tuesday’s game.

Moren said it could be because of her history at the program that provides the motivation for the Sycamores to play harder against the Hoosiers, but she credited the hard play to the second-year coach of the program: Joey Wells.

After hiring Wells during her tenure in Terre Haute, Moren said she believes he is doing a good job with the program.

Moren cited his nine underclassmen on the roster and Indiana State’s tough mindset on the court, as the Sycamores came back from a deficit as big as 15 on Tuesday.

“I have a tremendous amount of respect for Joey,” Moren said. “I never would have hired him if I didn’t think he could coach, and obviously he is a good friend.”

After the questions at her postgame press conference, Moren headed for the exit of the press room.

But not before being stopped and embraced by every member of Indiana State’s public relations team.

Moren’s emotional homecoming was not only created by the fanbase and coaching staff of Indiana State showing their respects to the former coach.

The respect was reciprocated.

“I’m a fan,” Moren said.

“I’m a fan of Terre Haute, I’m a fan of Indiana State, and I’m a fan of Joey.”

IU looks to keep defense strong against IPFW

Walk-on finds place on wrestling team and I lost. It was a turning point in my career; after that, I became an All-American.”

IU Coach Duane Goldman said he did not know much about him before Conley was on campus for a visit.

“He is a walk-on, but he’s great to have on the team and we’re glad he’s here,” Goldman said. “He’s come in here and taken the opportunity to heart and ran with it.”

Conley was down to two choices when determining where he would wrestle in college: IU and Missouri.

Despite having scholarship offers from other schools, he chose IU because of the family feel he saw when he was visiting.

“They were going to give attention to everyone on the team,” Conley said. “They’re going to stick with you when you’re hurt, they are going to stick with you when you’re having a hard time.”

Conley has only been at IU for a few months, but he said he already has moments that are memorable for him. He said the team chemistry and family feel has really stood out so far, and that there are no cliques within the team.

The freshman did not receive an athletic scholarship from IU, and he knows being a walk-on brings challenges.

“I think people don’t expect me to do as well,” Conley said. “I think it makes it a little harder for me to make my-

Freshman Norman Conley began his wrestling career in middle school. He started winning matches in seventh grade and said he always had aspirations of wrestling in college.

“My dad has done so much for me,” Conley said.

“Paying for all these tournaments, clubs, coaching — and my family has always been there to support me, so that has always helped a lot.”

Conley played many sports growing up, but he said wrestling and football were always his favorites. Conley said he really started to focus on wrestling because he knew he could pursue it in college and he loved the one-on-one vibe of being on the mat.

Conley shattered school records at Chaminade College Prepatory School in St. Louis.

He currently holds the record for season wins with 43, career wins with 109, single-season takedowns and the best finish at the state tournament at fourth.

Conley has had a lot of success throughout his career, including two top-five finishes in the state tournament in high school, but his most memorable moment is used as motivation.

“When I lost my junior year at state,” Conley said. “I really was looking to win state,

IU AT MINNESOTA 7 p.m., Dec. 11 Minneapolis, Minnesota self known, but there are no excuses.”

In the first tournament of the season, the Eastern Michigan Open, Conley made himself known by placing third in the 174-pound weight class.

He had four wins to one loss in the EMU Open and lost only to the tournament champion of that weight class.

Goldman said Conley was a bright spot in the tournament.

Conley said he embraces the challenge of being a walkon because it motivates him to wrestle to the best of his ability every time he gets on the mat.

He said he wrestled someone from Missouri earlier in the season, the prospect Missouri chose instead of him.

Conley beat him.

“We’re real happy with him, he’s doing great,” Goldman said. “He’s very committed, he works hard in the classroom, he works hard in the room, he’s got a great attitude.”

Conley has high aspirations for the rest of his freshman season.

“I would really like to get a win, and place at the midlands,” Conley said. “I would like to beat some ranked guys, get my name out there even more.”

IU fans saw a distinct difference on the defensive end between a 20-point loss to Duke and a 33-point win against Morehead State.

The Hoosiers forced the Eagles into 23 turnovers, including seven steals.

IU associate head Coach Tim Buckley said maintaining that kind of aggressive mindset is crucial moving forward, beginning with a matchup against IndianaPurdue University Fort Wayne tonight in Assembly Hall.

“You’ve got to have that kind of mindset where we attack, that mindset where we’re not gambling but we’re aggressive and playing together,” Buckley said.

He said it’s often a matter of reminding his players throughout the game to keep an aggressive demeanor.

They had that Saturday.

The Hoosiers limited the Eagles to just 16 made field goals, the lowest for an IU team in Coach Tom Crean’s eight years in Bloomington.

Having active hands on defense will lead to more steals and being able to get out and run, Buckley said.

“We shrunk the floor. We had good rotations, everyone was covering for each other when there was a mistake or error made,” Buckley said.

The players and coaches agree that aggression needs to transfer to the offensive end of the floor as well.

In the Morehead State game, IU went to the free throw line 22 times in the first half alone. Previously, it had averaged 19 attempts per game.

Sophomore guard James Blackmon Jr. said he is working on getting to the line more often and being overall more assertive on offense.

“That’s something coach talked to me a lot about,” he said. “I feel like last year I got to the line more early in the season. That’s definitely something I’m focusing on.”

Buckley said it’s not about Blackmon’s driving 1-on-1 down the lane every time ; rather, the sophomore needs to crash the boards more often.

Student designs travel mugs to change the world

Straight No Chaser will commemorate 20th year

By Jordan Morgan

From IDS reports

jordmorg@indiana.edu | @jo_mo14

On November 4, IU sophomore Caroline Trant texted her best friend, sophomore Lauren Smith, “I am going to save the world and I need to borrow your oven.”

Trant said she was walking home on an unusually hot day in November. She began thinking about global warming and why the population is growing so fast.

Trant said she thought about how girls in third world countries don’t get to have the same education as those in the United States do, and they often end up having children at a very young age.

“I started thinking about how I could change that,” Trant said. “I could probably take something that I am really good at and do something to make a difference.”

It’s been more than a month since Trant had the idea to sell her hand-designed tumbler mugs and donate the proceeds to the organization Let Girls Learn. She began selling her mugs on Instagram before deciding to open a shop on Etsy two weeks ago. Trant said her business, Tumbl{HERS}, has received more than 20 orders since she opened shop on Etsy.

Smith said she wasn’t surprised at all when Trant came to her with the idea to start Tumbl{HERS}.

“She has always been really ambitious and eager to start something fun and make meaning of it,” Smith said.

Trant’s goal for the end of 2015 is to make at least one donation to Let Girls Learn in the name of Tumbl{HERS}.

She said she found out about Let Girls Learn through her role model, actress Sophia Bush. According to its website, Let Girls Learn is a White House-funded initiative that works to give girls around the world the opportunity to have an education.

“Finding out that there are girls that don’t get to go to

The IU Auditorium’s 75th anniversary has inspired many special shows and performances throughout the year.

The latest in a series of these events will be a performance by Straight No Chaser, the internationally known IU a cappella group at 8 p.m.

Dec. 17.

According to the news release, this year is the 20th anniversary for Straight No Chaser, whose style combines tight vocals, charisma and loose humor.

The group boasts more than 50 million views on YouTube, TV appearances, two EPs and five albums, a few of which have made the top 30 of the Billboard 200.

The upcoming performance will be part of the “The New Old Fashioned Tour,” their biggest headline tour to date, according to the release. The tour occurs in

conjunction with their latest album release of the same name, which branches out from their traditionally outward holiday theme.

Straight No Chaser was formed in 1996, and the 10-member group has spread throughout the years.

They landed a record deal with Atlantic Records, had their story optioned for a possible film from DreamWorks and received notoriety worldwide for their performance style. They perform in the traditional style of a cappella performance, now popularized in the modern music landscape, according to the release. Hits that will receive the Straight No Chaser shine include The Weeknd’s “Can’t Feel My Face,” Bob Dylan’s “Make You Feel My Love” and many more.

IU Auditorium Director Doug Booher said in the release he is excited to welcome the group back to honor both their anniversary

STRAIGHT NO CHASER Tickets $20-52 for students, $37-57 general admission 8 p.m. Dec. 17 IU Auditorium and the IU Auditorium’s big 75th year.

Along with the performance will be a pre-show question-and-answer session with former member Ryan Ahlwart at 7 p.m. Dec. 17 in the Wells-Metz Theatre.

Ahlwart will take audience members behind the scenes with the beloved group, according to the release.

Tickets for the performance range from $20 to $52 for students with valid ID and $37 to $57 for general admission. Tickets are available through the IU Auditorium Box Office and Ticketmaster outlets, by phone or online through Ticketmaster’s website.

school because of their gender or beliefs is appalling,” Trant said. “I don’t think we, in the United States, realize that as much as we should.”

Trant said she has always loved school and now that she is getting a higher education she knows she can support herself.

“I think because she has such a focus on her education and values it, she wants that for anyone across the world,” Smith said.

Trant said giving girls the opportunity to have an education and become selfsufficient is the biggest gift in world.

“My life goal for Tumbl{HERS} is to make a visual impact,” Trant said. “I feel like the best time to do anything is right when you think of it, so I just want to see how far it goes.”

Trant, a finance major,

said this has been a great experience in gaining business knowledge while also contributing to an international organization that helps girls around the world.

This past week, Trant bought a machine to help put her designs on the mugs in a more efficient and durable way. Her Etsy store, tumblHERS, is currently on vacation mode, but Trant expects her shop to be back in business by Dec. 19. Her tumblers can be purchased for $22 each.

Trant said she believes if one woman can make a difference for another woman around the world, then she can start a chain reaction of positive actions.

“Just because you are a college student doesn’t mean you are too young to have a career,” Trant said. “And to everyone else, use your strengths to benefit others.”

The first of the exhibitions is the BFA Thesis Show.

The works in the show will include a range of aesthetic viewpoints expressed through digital art, graphic design, metalsmithing and jewelry design, painting, photography, printmaking and sculpture. Graduating
