Based on a true story, “Beautiful - The Carole King Musical” traces the life and career of Carole King, an American songwriter behind songs such as “It’s Too Late,” “Will You Love Me Tomorrow?” and “(You Make Me Feel Like) a Natural Woman.” “Beautiful” is a jukebox musical, meaning it uses King’s songs to tell her story.

“Beautiful” will have four shows: 8 p.m. on Dec. 10, 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. on Dec. 11 and 2 p.m. on Dec. 12 at IU Auditorium. Tickets start at $35 and $33 for students.

Ryan Farnsworth plays composer Barry Mann in the North American tour of “Beautiful”. In both the show and real life, Mann worked alongside King as a fellow writer and close friend.

IDS: Why should audiences come to see this show?

Farnsworth: "Beautiful - The Carole King Musical" is about this beautiful story of this girl who starts writing when she’s 16 and she has to overcome so much adversity just to get to this brilliant superstar that so many people know and love. So, obviously, the people who are coming to see the show who know Carole King and love Carole King are going to love the show.

But even if you’re not a Carole King fan, the show is so well-done, it’s so funny, so heartfelt, so loving.

If someone comes to see the show, even if it’s not their favorite show they’ve ever seen, they’re going to have a good time.

IDS: You’ve been in many other shows and tours. What’s different about “Beautiful”?

Farnsworth: Obviously, living in the age of COVID is going to be the front-and-center difference.

On our bus rides, we’re all wearing masks the entire time unless we’re eating or drinking. We have to get tested three times a week. And we’re appreciative of it, but things can go wrong, and you’re kind of on the edge of your seat there waiting.

I’m quite grateful the company has so many contingencies in place. We’ve run into some issues.

We even had to cancel a couple of shows already because some of the venues we’ve been to, we don’t see eye to eye and that’s totally fine, but that is probably the most challenging aspect and the biggest difference between this as opposed to other shows.

IDS: Are there any parts of this musical that resonate with you, or that you want to highlight?

Farnsworth: I always really enjoy the moment when the audience recognizes a song. The way the script is set up, things kind of happen suddenly. It isn’t “Oh, I’m writing this song ‘Will You Love Me Tomorrow?’” It’s “Come on, you’ve got to finish this song, we’ve got to go to work. Oh, you finished these lyrics?” and Carole King sits down on the piano, just to try it out, just for a second, this silent scene with her husband lying on the couch, and as soon as she hits those chords and starts singing, the audience audibly gasps as they recognize the song.

IDS: What’s your favorite part or number that you’re in?

Farnsworth: There is this really beautiful number, it’s the second number in act two, where there is a bit of a spat between Barry, my character and Cynthia, and there’s this beautiful little duet that we get to sing together as we reconcile.

It’s “Walking in the Rain,” and it’s just such a sweet song. I think that number is, for me, the most joyous part of the show.

IDS: What’s your favorite Carole King song?

Farnsworth: My favorite Carole King song is “It’s Too Late.” I’m a bit of an amateur songwriter myself, and the chords and the chord progression — the jazzy and bluesy type chords — are really cool in that song. Where it happens in the play is really fun as well. It’s turning a page from Carole being only a writer to starting to blossom into being a performer, so it’s very effective in how it’s presented in the show as well. And I just think the tune is a great tune.

Comedian Hasan Minhaj spoke to a packed crowd Monday at the IU Auditorium, integrating humor into the telling of his life and discussing the importance of authenticity in comedy.

Minhaj told the story about how he found comedy and explained its importance in permitting him to not only communicate ideas as a form of social commentary but to also relay his own personal experiences. He said he was inspired by a computer science teacher who encouraged him to join speech and debate because he was always getting in trouble for talking during class.

Minaj discovered stand-up comedy his freshman year at the University of California, Davis, after his roommate illegally downloaded stand-up comedy routines. Minhaj said he noticed key similarities between stand up and speech and debates, and he said comedians use humor as a strategy for making arguments.

As he began opening for comedians like John Mulaney, who he invited to his campus, Minhaj said he realized comedy was a forum to open up about issues he couldn’t previously talk about extensively, such as politics, sexuality and religion.

“It felt really empowering to me,” Minhaj said.

Minhaj started a sketch comedy show with friends in Los Angeles after he graduated and was struggling to find work. The show launched him into fame after some of his content went viral, leading him to audition for “The Daily Show” with Jon Stewart. Minhaj said he credits taking control of his own agency that led him to achieve such success.

In his performance, Minhaj summed up why stand-up comedy allows him to communicate authentically.

“Comedy is about honesty,” Minhaj said.

Minhaj’s role as a comedian has given him the opportunity to advocate for social change. He spoke at the 2016 Radio & Television Correspondents Dinner, testified before Congress in 2019 and spoke at the 2017 White House Correspondents Dinner, addressing topics such as gun control and student loan debt.

After serving as a correspondent for “The Daily Show” from 2014 to 2018, Minhaj made a deal with Netflix to produce a news comedy show centered on in-depth analysis of contemporary political and social issues.

“The Patriot Act” premiered on Netflix in October 2018.

Exploring issues ranging from affirmative action to the murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashogg, Minhaj said he was outspoken in an attempt to use comedy SEE MINHAJ, PAGE 4

The Bloomington Fire Department will offer lead level testing to anyone concerned about elevated lead levels following the release of lead paint during a controlled burn last month, according to a City of Bloomington press release.

BFD will offer finger-prick blood testing to residents from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at their headquarters at 226 S. College Ave., according to the release.

BFD is partnering with the Monroe County Health Department to administer the lead level testing. Test results from firefighters operating at the scene of the burn showed no signs of

A swastika was found by a Bloomington resident on the first night of Hanukkah. This is the third time Bloomington residents have noticed the hate symbol across the city in the last two weeks.

The swastika is recognized as a hate symbol by the Anti-Defamation League.

The swastika, found at the intersection of South Lincoln Street and East Smith Avenue, has since been painted over. In addition to the white paint covering the swastika, someone painted “Love Everyone” on the wall.

IU Police Department and Bloomington Police Department are both looking for suspects in the two previously reported incidents.

Bloomington is losing more police officers than it can hire. Here’s why it matters.

ILLUSTRATION BY MADELYN POWERS

By Wei Wang daviwang@iu.edu | @WeiWangDavid23

Editor’s note: This story has been updated to include statistics on the City of Bloomington’s budget, BPD and BPD’s staffing.

Bloomington has many reasons to expand its police force — the Bloomington Police Department is strained and the city’s annexation plan could significantly increase its population.

Instead, overworked and underpaid, more and more BPD officers have left the city, leaving a shrinking police force as crime rises and Bloomington continues to expand, police union members and city councilmembers say.

Since 2016, the department has hired 66 officers and lost 73, according to data provided by Paul Post, BPD senior officer and president of the Fraternal Order of Police’s local chapter. The union represents BPD officers during union contract negotiations with the city government. The department has already lost 15 officers in 2021 alone, which Post said is unprecedented in the past 20 years.

“That’s just never happened,” he said. “To see that level of turnover— I mean, that should be a real big eye opener.”

The BPD currently has 88 officers, Post said, which is 17 short of the staffing capacity of 105 under the city’s current police budget. A 2020 organizational assessment prepared by the Novak Consulting Group for the City of Bloomington determined BPD would need nine to 16 additional patrol officers.

Police departments in major cities nationwide have faced lower recruitment and higher resignation following George Floyd’s murder and the subsequent Black Lives Matter protests. About a quarter of Minneapolis’s police officers have left the force since Floyd’s death, according to Reuters. Closer to home, the Indianapolis Met-

ropolitan Police Department has 169 open positions to fill as it faces competition in pay and benefits.

In Bloomington, officers and union members cited low pay as the main reason for recent resignations.

According to the police union’s exit survey responses from 15 officers in the past two years, 60% left BPD for other law enforcement agencies, and all 15 officers said better pay would have influenced them to stay.

BPD’s base salary for an Officer First Class, a benchmark police rank for comparison between Indiana’s municipalities, is $56,956 and ranks 50th among 153 police departments in the state, according to data from Indiana’s Public Employees Retirement Fund.

Bloomington is the seventh largest city in Indiana with a population of 79,168, according to 2020 U.S. Census data. In comparison, the West Lafayette Police Department, which sits in a college town with a little more than 50% of the population of Bloomington that also hosts a campus police department, has a base salary of $62,754, nearly $5,800 more than BPD and ranks 36th statewide.

In Bloomington, 38% of the Bloomington general fund went to BPD in 2020, around $14.3 million.

Jeffrey Rodgers, BPD detective and a member of the police union’s contract negotiation team, said officers are leaving BPD because police departments in other cities pay more.

“Why have we already lost eight officers this year to other police agencies?” he said. “It’s because we’re not competitive.”

Although BPD officers are usually paid overtime and other specialty pay on top of their base salaries, Rodgers said more than 90% of Indiana’s municipal police departments also offer such pay, usually paying more than what BPD offers. Moreover, he said officers with specialty pay take up extra

work or leadership responsibilities at the department.

BPD’s staffing shortage has also led to more overtime patrol for officers, Post said.

Whenever a patrol shift does not have enough people on staff, some officers from the previous shift would need to fill in, he said.

Post said some officers have already worked mandatory overtime three times this year when voluntary overtime alone used to be enough to fill the gap in the past. He said this has dealt a blow on officers’ happiness and family life.

“We’ve kind of shortcircuited any of their family needs,” he said. “The morale overall is very much down.”

Rodgers said overtime shifts always used to be voluntary at BPD until recently.

He said morale has been so low and patrol shifts have been so strained that there are not enough officers willing or available to voluntarily fill the shifts that are short on staff.

Twelve out of 15 officers rated the department’s morale as one or two out of 10, according to the exit survey responses.

BPD officers’ salaries were a key source of contention between the Bloomington City Council and Mayor John Hamilton during negotiations for the 2022 city budget in August and October. While council members proposed raising officers’ annual base pay by $5,000 permanently, the mayor and the council reached a deal to provide officers with a onetime retention bonus totaling $5,000 by the end of 2022, with the mayor committing to a $5,000 base pay raise as part of ongoing negotiations of the 2023-26 police contract with the union.

The mayor’s initial budget proposal in August increased the number of community service specialists working at BPD. City council members questioned the proposal as misplacing the city’s priorities.

Violent crimes are on the rise in Bloomington.

There was a 40% increase in reported violent crimes from 2019 to 2020.

2020: 485

Unlike police officers, councilmember Susan Sandberg, who represents the council as an observer in the negotiations, said social workers cannot respond to potentially violent situations and often need officers to accompany them, which does not alleviate the officers’ workload.

If the city fails to adequately raise officers’ pay for the contract, Sandberg said more officers would leave BPD or law enforcement completely, further limiting the department’s ability to respond to crime.

“Our failure to do that because we have failed to fund it appropriately to me is unconscionable, because that’s a basic city service,” she said.

Deputy Mayor Donald C. Griffin Jr. said the city government is now in agreement with the city council to raise police salaries for retaining and recruiting officers. However, in addition to adjusting salaries, he said the city must be more creative in addressing the staffing shortage, including modernizing the department’s facilities, recruiting more aggressively online and partnering with other police departments through officer exchange programs.

“You want their experience to be so great that they do come back,” he said.

Sandberg said although improving work conditions, increasing recruitment from other police departments and improving community perception of BPD are all important for attracting recruits, raising officers’ pay is the priority.

“It’s going to take more money,” she said. “It’s going to take more commitment on behalf of the city to prioritize spending on the police.

It’s money well-spent to get the quality department that Bloomington deserves.”

BPD’s staffing shortage comes as violent crime continues to rise in Bloomington.

In 2020, the department reported 485 violent crime offenses, according to the FBI’s National IncidentBased Reporting System. This marked a 40% increase from 347 offenses in 2019 while Indiana’s total number of violent crimes dropped by 3.3% over the two years. According to the city’s 2021 Public Safety Report, gun-related crime rose by 52% in 2020 compared to 2019.

BPD overwhelmingly responds to non-violent crime.

In the second quarter of 2020, welfare checks and investigations into suspicious activity took up over 2,270 calls.

Many factors can affect the type and volume of crime, including degree of urbanization, local policies, economic

conditions and more. Adding more officers might not singlehandedly solve the problem.

In 2020, BPD employed only one social worker — something activists say can help reduce crime in communities, rather than an increase in patrolling.

A short staff and a high number of overall crimes have left officers with no time for community outreach, Bloomington city councilmember Dave Rollo said.

While BPD continues to battle its staffing shortage, excessive overtime and rising crime, a close deadline looms. The City of Bloomington has proposed an annexation plan that would add more than 14,200 residents and expand the city’s area by more than 50%, effective Jan. 1, 2024.

BPD would need 25 to 30 additional officers to patrol these annexed areas when it’s already struggling to meet its current staffing capacity, Rollo said.

“This is clearly a point where it’s a reaching crisis,” he said.

While police departments nationwide have struggled with retention and recruitment, Post said he is particularly worried about the city’s looming annexation deadline.

“It’s very concerning to us to be in that situation of losing officers constantly,” he said. “We want to know that there’s an actual plan in place.”

Sandberg said the math shows the city and BPD have “a heck of a job” ahead to hire the officers needed for the annexed areas. She said a failure to do so would betray the city’s promises for the newly annexed residents.

“It would be hard for me to look the newly annexed citizens in the eye if we cannot deliver on having a quality police department that’s well-funded, well-cared for and able to do the job with all due professionalism,” she said.

STEFAN’S STANCE ON IT

Alice Sebold versus Anthony Broadwater

By Stefan Townes sztownes@iu.edu | @stefant_

Editor’s Note: This article includes mention of sexual assault.

In 1981, Alice Sebold was raped. A few months later, her attacker was put behind bars. Sebold had written a memoir about the experience, titled “Lucky,” and it later launched her career.

She’s gone on to write hits like “The Lovely Bones,” which was adapted to a bestselling movie. Meanwhile, the man sentenced for these crimes, a Black man named Anthony Broadwater, spent 16 years in prison. He was proven innocent of the crime just last month.

Broadwater attempted to overturn his sentence five times since 1982, and he had been denied parole five times because he wouldn’t admit to a crime he didn’t commit. Even after being released in 1999, he still fought to prove his innocence. It took him 40 years to do so.

This subject is difficult to talk about, but that difficulty

makes it all the more necessary to discuss. Sebold was indeed raped, that is not being questioned and I do not intend to cast doubt on her traumatic experience.

Broadwater, however, was falsely accused of being her rapist.

As the story goes, Broadwater had walked past her on the street months after her rape, and Sebold claimed to recognize him. Police arrested him and had Sebold pick him out of a lineup. She had failed to identify him in the lineup, but the police proceeded anyway, with her insisting Broadwater and the person she picked in the lineup looked identical. Sebold describes the experience as the police and prosecutors “coaching” her testimony.

Coaching an eyewitness for testimony is a common practice, but it becomes complicated in situations like this, because for all intents Sebold believed she had properly identified her assaulter. Since evidence was slim, it meant her testimony was even more key in con-

victing Broadwater.

This shows just how negligent the justice system can be. Broadwater, despite fighting to prove his innocence for decades, was only able to make headway in his efforts due to luck.

The memoir Sebold wrote about the experience, “Lucky,” was in production to be adapted to a feature film when one of the producers had noticed holes in the story. The producer, Timothy Mucciante, then hired a private investigator to look into the case in more detail.

It was found that, beside

Sebold’s testimony, the only evidence was microscopic hair analysis, which the Department of Justice had since denounced as unreliable as forensic evidence. It was the private investigator who ultimately did the due diligence of looking into the details of the case.

The situation shows how much a single person’s testimony can matter in a case, especially if the person is a white woman. What Sebold had to go through was awful, and I don’t aim to make light of that. All the same, her testimony was the driving fac-

tor into getting an innocent Black man put in jail for 16 years of his life and having to live as a registered sex offender until recently.

Broadwater had even said he and his wife didn’t want to have children because of his criminal record. It’s difficult to not compare the situation to the countless innocent Black men lynched for their supposed crimes.

Sebold publicly made her apology to Broadwater a week after his exoneration — an apology which only spans 400 words. She acknowledges the dynamics present in the case.

“Today, American society is starting to acknowledge and address the systemic issues in our judicial system that too often means that justice for some comes at the expense of others,” she said in a Medium article.

“Unfortunately, this was not a debate, or a conversation, or even a whisper when I reported my rape in 1981.”

Sebold seems to ignore just how much scholarship there already was about the

justice system’s racial bias at the time. Still, Broadwater has accepted her apology, but I struggle to come to terms with my feelings on this.

Everything about this case is a confluence of the worst America has to offer.

A woman was raped and accuses an innocent passerby of being the perpetrator.

She fails to identify him in a lineup, but the justice system moves forward and imprisoned him anyways. She makes millions, and his life is irreparably damaged while the mistake is only acknowledged 40 years later.

What happened to Alice Sebold is a tragedy and one no one should have to live through, but she played a significant part in ruining an innocent Black man’s life. She is a victim of an awful assault, but her testimony, based on uncertainty, was what put Anthony Broadwater in prison.

While he found it in his heart to forgive her, I don’t think I can say I’d do the same.

Jazmine Sullivan shares message to Black women

By Amani Herron amagates@iu.edu | amani_gates

At the 2021 Soul Train Awards, Jazmine Sullivan won album of the year for her latest album “Heaux Tales.”

The Soul Train Awards is an annual award show honoring the best in African American entertainment and music.

After six years of not releasing an album, her most recent album dropped in January earning her second No. 1 album on the genre chart. Her first was “Reality Show” released in 2015 Sullivan’s goal for “Heaux Tales” was for it to be designed like a short story, she said. It’s a series of untold stories by women who are close friends and family of

Sullivan.

Black women are often told that we have to be strong no matter what — we are the superwomen. We are expected to be the pillars in the Black community, but no one talks about how this heavy burden is harmful to Black women’s mental, physical and emotional health.

“I feel like society makes it seem like we have to be perfect and present ourselves a certain way to be considered a good woman,” she said in an interview with NPR. IU junior Jada Harris has herself been told she has to be strong no matter what.

“It’s sad when I can’t have a moment of weakness because as a Black woman, I am taught that I need to be

on point at all times,” she said.

Assistant professor at University of Virginia, Seanna Leath, researched how the expectations of strength placed upon Black girls and women is harmful.

In her findings she discovered this demographic of women responds to hardships by concealing trauma. Oftentimes, showing weakness or anger is often frowned upon by family members.

“I wrote this project for women to love themselves no matter what stage of life they’re in,” Sullivan said in her award speech. “You have to love yourself especially because society would have us (Black women) not love anything about ourselves.”

When we get on social media, we constantly see the standards of how women should look so it can be nerve wrecking trying not to compare yourself to others. According to Today, 88% of girls say they compare themselves to images in the media and around half claim that they feel negatively affected by this.

Harris said she constantly reminds herself of her worth.

“I remind myself of selflove by affirming myself each and everyday that I am enough,” Harris said.

Sullivan wrote this project to remind ourselves that we’re not alone in this and to give ourselves grace. It’s important that we continue to love ourselves and not feel ashamed to not be the strongest all the time.

Virgil Abloh’s creative legacy will live on forever

By Thursday Currence tcurrenc@iu.edu | @thursdayyc_

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Virgil Abloh attends the opening of his exhibition “Figures of Speech” on Nov. 4, 2021, at the Fire Station in Doha, Qatar.

On Nov. 28th, Virgil Abloh died at 41-years-old after losing a fight with cancer. He will forever be remembered as a fashion powerhouse.

Abloh launched his brand Off-White eight years ago, and many know Abloh for the effect he had in the fashion industry in such a short time. Abloh was also the men’s artistic director of Louis Vuitton. He was the first African American to ever hold this position, according to Fortune.

Abloh was a man of

many talents. He earned his master’s degree in architecture from the Illinois Institute of Technology. He later used these skills to help redesign a private airplane for rapper Drake, showing his appreciation for the design on Instagram.

Abloh also was skilled in graphic design. He designed an album for late rapper Pop Smoke in June 2020 after Pop Smoke and Abloh talked about collaboration for the album cover.

Unfortunately, Pop Smoke died before releasing his debut album and didn’t have a chance to finalize a design for the album cover.

Abloh created the album cover based on the conversations he shared with Pop Smoke and paid homage to the young rapper’s life on his initial design for the cover. He agreed to redesign the album cover when Pop Smoke’s fans did not react well to his first design, according to GQ. Abloh was a close friend of rapper and designer Kanye West, who is also the founder of clothing and shoe brand, Yeezy. West and his entire family attended the Louis Vuitton fashion show on Nov. 30, dedicated to the life of Abloh. West and Abloh collaborated on many

projects together. Abloh was West’s creative director for years before Abloh began working with Louis Vuitton.

He also was the art director for West and Jay-Z’s album “Watch the Throne.” Abloh’s work with this album earned him a grammy nod for best recording package.

Abloh’s death was a shock to many of his fans because he never spoke about his illness to the public.

Abloh’s hard work and talent inspired many people. He left behind a legacy as a designer, fashion mogul and a visionary that will be remembered forever.

DA’NASIA DID IT

It’s time to abandon the current justice system

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

With both Ahmaud Arbery and Kyle Rittenhouse’s trial verdicts happening around the same time, it has become abundantly clear the U.S justice system is useless.

Rittenhouse traveled miles away from his home to a protest for the murder of Jacob Blake with an assault rifle and murdered two men. He was acquitted of all charges after claiming selfdefense.

His acquittal was the direct result of the protection of white supremacy in the United States of America. It’s ridiculous that Rittenhouse did not receive any charges for the crimes he committed.

In the 19th and 20th century white people, often in mobs, lynched Black people in order to terrorize them and instill fear. Their reasoning for this terror was rooted in the protection of whiteness.

Arbery was a Black man who was lynched by three men while jogging. The men

who murdered him claimed they were performing a citizen’s arrest, according to CNN. Black Voices: The family of Ahmaud Arbery receives justice for their son a year after his death All of the men were found guilty of multiple charges including his murder and a federal hate crime.

This verdict may have brought peace to his family and the men seemed to be held responsible for his death, but the reality is this could very well happen again to another Black family.

When the verdict for the murder of George Floyd was announced, a teenage girl by the name of Ma’khia Bryant was killed by another police officer within a few hours.

These acts of receiving “justice” accountability don’t appear to be significant if the same thing keeps happening.

What will we do if the justice system is useless? How will we make sure that those who commit crimes are held accountable?

It is understood white supremacy is ingrained in every aspect of our society.

The U.S. justice system was designed to uphold white supremacy; it wasn’t designed to make sure “justice” is fairly served.

Rittenhouse being acquitted of all charges was not a failure of the U.S justice system, it was a success. It succeeded in the preservation of white supremacy, which is the problem.

Justice and accountability serve no meaning in the current justice system. We have to come up with other ways to make sure that actual justice is served and people are held accountable.

We need to envision a world where these words have meaning and significance.

We are often taught in our white supremacist society to think accountability is synonymous with consequence or punishment. It is not.

Accountability is a conscious choice where people own up to their wrongs, take responsibility for their actions and ensure they won’t

commit harm again.

Rittenhouse was not held accountable. The men who lynched Arbery were not

held accountable.

Accountability should be victim-centered. There should be questions about

what the victim wants or needs.

This is a picture of what true justice would look like.

“It was something that was very valuable to her and something that we thought would also be impactful for the IU community to bring in someone of a different identity, for someone to give a different experience and talk about their different experiences,” Bokil said.

As Bokil co-moderated the Q-and-A session with Natesan following Minhaj’s

keynote speech, Minhaj used the interview as an opportunity to develop a bit focused on Bokil’s relationship status, to the amusement of the audience.

“I was not expecting that,” Bokil said. “It was something that I felt prepared for and something that felt fun in the moment. I loved interacting with him on stage and even talking to him after the show. We were there to see some really great conversations.”

As Minhaj relayed the

experience of growing up being a South Asian American as a critical component of his identity, Bokil said he believes Minhaj’s genuine recount of his experiences are what make him relatable to everyone, regardless of ethnic identity.

“He’s someone that is relatable,” Bokil said. “You could sense that with the audience with the laughter that he brought and the audience clapping, making it entertaining and informative at the same time.”

Hasan’s authentic and

laid-back approach made his talk entertaining to IU students, master’s student Srinagh Chalasani said.

“It was interesting because he was sharing his life experiences and mixing it up with humor,” Chalasani said.

As a current student himself, Chalasani was able to appreciate Minhaj’s focus on his days spent in higher education.

“He talked about a lot of his quality experiences and how he spent his time back in college,” Chalasani said.

The Nov. 5 controlled burn was intended as a training exercise for Bloomington firefighters but resulted in the release of lead paint debris into the surrounding neighborhood. The site was not checked for lead paint before the burn because doing so was not included on the Indiana Department of Environmental Management’s checklist, Bloomington Fire Chief Jason Moore said during a press conference Nov. 16.

NOTHIN’ BUT NAT

The Indiana maternal mortality rate is high. Blame our healthcare system.

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

As a woman in my early 20s, childbirth isn’t exactly on my immediate radar. It’s somewhat of an abstract concept, considered only when my mother tells me to be careful because women in my family are notoriously “fertile myrtle” or when my Flo app prompts an alarming and frankly unwarranted “Early Signs of Pregnancy?” informational tab.

In sum, it’s not a topic I’ve strongly considered beyond the general premise of potentially having a child many years from now. Of late, however, I’ve felt compelled by our health care system — or lack thereof — to more seriously examine my potential maternity and its potential effects on myself, my family or my future children.

Therefore, this tasks women with doing our own research and coming up with our own plans when faced with childbirth. We must do this not only to protect our babies but to protect ourselves. Infant mortality rates have fallen to a historic low, but this has come at the expense of maternal care, which is largely neglected in lieu of prioritizing fetuses,

according to ProPublica and NPR. Not only does childbirth have the propensity to be risky in general, but this is especially the case in the United States. In the developed world, the U.S. has the worst record of pregnancy or childbirth-related deaths at between 700 to 900 deaths and around 65,000 near deaths each year, according to NPR. These rates are especially high in Indiana.

Last month, the Indianapolis Star published a series of research and reporting on maternal mortality in the state. It found significant inaccuracies in the ways maternal deaths are being classified, what stage in the postpartum process these mothers actually die and whether their deaths were pregnancy-related or pregnancy-associated. Pregnancy-related deaths are caused by a complication from the pregnancy or childbirth itself whereas pregnancyassociated deaths include all deaths within a year after birth, regardless of the cause.

In general, the Star found a lack of reliable reporting from the state, cases where cause of death couldn’t be determined and discrepancies between different states regarding maternal mortalities.

Though Indiana’s Maternal Mortality Review Committee is aware of and working toward rectifying past mistakes, this leaves a substantial question mark for women looking for reliable pre- or post-natal care. Having a child can be an intense process anywhere but particularly for Hoosiers.

In general, the Star’s reporting also showed rural Hoosiers are at particular risk due to “obstetric deserts,” or places without birthing wards. Black women are also at higher risk due to frequent neglect for legitimate concerns expressed not only during childbirth, but in the delivery of health care for Black people generally. It also found substance abuse and mental health concerns as contributing factors to postpartum deaths.

So what as women are we supposed to do? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends maintaining a healthy lifestyle and addressing all health concerns before conception.

But what about the near 50% of all pregnancies that are unplanned? What about the women who don’t have access to health care at all?

For women who do have health care, elected C-sections put them at an increased risk for life-threat-

ening complications. Going into labor on Saturdays or Sundays also heightens risk for complications, otherwise known as the “weekend effect,” which causes a 50% higher mortality rate, more blood transfusions and more perineal tearing.

I’ll try to remember all that when my water breaks.

If you see that happening on a Saturday or Sunday, no you didn’t.

All joking aside, we need to take women’s health care more seriously and provide

greater and more substantial options to pregnant women. Though hospital births deserve ample support for those who choose them, we should also dismantle the stigma surrounding midwives and at-home births, as many women choose these options for their reduced cost, freedom from hospital and health care biases and ability for more autonomy in the pregnancy process.

Though these internal conversations might seem premature to 20-somethings,

they’re not necessarily unjustifiable. It’s important to take health care into your own hands, especially considering recent blows to a woman’s right to choose.

Though it’s unfair and deserving of greater societal attention, I can’t sit idly by and wait for something to happen to me. I will do everything I can to avoid becoming another contributor to this state’s abhorrent maternal mortality statistic. natgabor@iu.edu

POLITICS ASIDE

What MIT’s ‘Limits to Growth’ Means for Generation Z Eric Reingardt (he/him) is a freshman studying pre-law.

Generation Z is inheriting a nation predicted to collapse in 20 years.

A 1972 MIT study made this claim using system dynamics software, a computer model that studies and predicts patterns in complex systems in the world. It considered factors such as population, pollution, food supply and production. Despite running several different scenarios, the computer’s prediction of an economic and societal collapse around the year 2040 was consistent.

The study was later updated by KPMG in the Yale Journal of Industrial Ecology in 2020, and the results were just as grim.

The study ultimately concludes that a planet and its limited amount of natural resources are incompatible with human activity and the desire for infinite economic growth. Eternally green stock prices, bottomless oil wells and rapidly regenerating forests are just dreams, and if the data from the report is correct, then we are in for a rude awakening.

The depletion of natural resources and the destruction of ecosystems have become the crisis of our time. However, history reminds us that not

long ago another generation was faced with a global crisis.

The generation that braved the worst economic recession in modern history and stopped the most dangerous totalitarian regimes from further engulfing the planet into genocide and war did in fact save the world.

Its title as the “Greatest Generation” is well-deserved.

But this great generation is leaving us now, and we are left in the world it built. We are the heirs to a marvelous network of human genius and engineering: the world of international cooperation, a globalized economy, a technology-dependent society and higher standards for human rights.

Many of these advances have come at the mighty cost of environmental and economic sustainability, leaving the succeeding generations with the mess.

I don’t see this as a burden but rather as an opportunity.

Aside from zoomer humor, memes and TikTok, Generation Z is still largely without a cultural identity.

We have little to no presence in government, we’re not very active in business or scientific advancement and we have yet to reshape the arts, music and entertainment the way older generations have. We are at this moment in history

a blank slate with a tremendous amount of potential.

The brewing social, economic and ecological crises are our test to become the new “Greatest Generation.”

Our challenge is to simultaneously keep the progress made by our predecessors while at the same time bringing about revolutionary new changes. Since necessity will always be the mother of invention, I predict Generation Z will be the most creative and innovative generation yet.

But if we play into divisive culture-war politics, if we are unable to unify for the common good as the “Greatest Generation“ did and if we are unable to break the cycles of mindless consumption and endless growth, then we would be allowing our own demise.

We ought to remain inspired by the “Greatest Generation”, who met scarcity with ingenuity and fascist tyranny with democratic liberty.

It is the generation that started to dismantle colonialism and began a new civil rights era. It turned the world from warring isolated nation-states into an international community.

In the face of this threat, we could stand to learn from one of the few remaining members of that generation,

President Jimmy Carter.

“It’s clear that the true problems of our Nation are much deeper,” Carter said more than 40 years ago.

“Deeper than gasoline lines or energy shortages, deeper even than inflation or recession. The threat is nearly invisible in ordinary ways. It is a crisis of confidence. It is a crisis that strikes at the very heart and soul and spirit of our national will.”

What the MIT report tells me is not that Mother Nature is going to unleash her wrath or that the mysterious wizards controlling the value of money and the stock market are going to turn on us.

The outcomes the report is warning us about are entirely caused by our own choices as a species.

We’ve become our own worst enemy. The question is if we can conquer our desires and our nature.

Can we reorganize the economy? Can we make sacrifices for the environment?

Can we take what we need, not what we want? Can we set aside petty disagreements for the greater good? Can we put stability before rapid growth?

Can we control ourselves? If we can, then we will become the new “Greatest Generation.” ereingardt@iu.edu

JACOB’S JAWING

Satirical journalism is a blessing in disguise Jacob Spudich (he/him) is a freshman studying journalism and political science

In July 1996, broadcast journalism as comedic entertainment was fulfilled with “The Daily Show.” This program highlights contradiction and hypocrisy within democracy. While the “Saturday Night Live” returning segment “Weekend Update” has been around since 1975, “The Daily Show” was the first instance of an entire show centered around satirical journalism.

Before Trevor Noah hosted “The Daily Show,” Jon Stewart was the lead from 1999 to 2015. Jon Stewart became the show’s most notable host through his 16-year tenure.

Satirical journalism serves as a reliable source of news and delivers news in a way that keeps viewers interested.

Satirical journalism helps maintain a well-informed democracy.

“The Daily Show” set the stage for satirical journalism.

“Stewart’s ‘Daily Show’ started to become something of its own, turning a lens on the spectacle of the mass-me-

diated body politic and the body dysmorphia induced by the 24-hour news cycle,” Literary Hub writer Dawn Herrera Helphand said.

But what changed the landscape of satirical journalism was the abundance of shows adopting the same style of “The Daily Show” — other shows that would be hosted by John Oliver and Stephen Colbert, who both got their starts on “The Daily Show.”

“Last Week Tonight with John Oliver,” “The Colbert Report” and “Full Frontal with Samantha Bee” arguably wouldn’t be possible without the success of “The Daily Show,” which ultimately created a new genre of television.

The popularity of satirical journalism can also be seen through Stephen Colbert’s long-running show, “The Colbert Report.”

According to a 2014 study

by Pew Research, more people had heard of “The Colbert Report” than other news sources like NPR, The Economist and BuzzFeed. Ten percent of adults with online access said they received news from “The Colbert Report” in the previous week, which is

the same percentage of adults who received news from the Wall Street Journal and USA Today.

A study from the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania and the School of Communication at Ohio State University found when compared to nonhumorous news clips, viewers are more likely to share humorously presented news and they’re more likely to remember the content from these segments.

“For democracy to work, it is really important for people to engage with news and politics and to be informed about public affairs,” Emily Falk, Annenberg professor of communication, psychology and marketing said.

“Our findings show that humor stimulates activity in brain regions associated with social engagement, improves memory for political facts and increases the tendency to share political information with others,” Jason Coronel, Ohio State assistant professor of communication, said.

Satirical journalism also serves as a legitimate source of news, and it shouldn’t be discredited because of its co-

medic commentary or loose leaf political bias.

If we invalidate satirical journalism because of political bias, it discredits main news outlets like CNN, Fox News and MSNBC as well.

According to a survey conducted by the Pew Research Center, 77% of respondents believe the media tends to favor one side. If we were to discredit all news networks because they expressed a political bias, more than half of U.S. news sources would be renounced.

Satirical programs first started as comedic relief, but they’ve become a source of news for many Americans, showing the American public’s increasing reliance on these shows to understand American democracy.

The growing popularity of satirical journalism is consistent with society’s decreasing attention span.

A study done by a team of European scientists showed the constant information cycle makes people lose interest more quickly.

The popularity of “SNL”’s weekly segment “Weekend Update” exemplifies this point. The segment demon-

strates a recurring pattern, headline, explanation and joke all encompassed in 1530 seconds. The delivery is incredibly popular because it’s short and sweet.

No one wants to listen to an elongated version of a news story when they can absorb it and get a laugh out of it in just 30 seconds.

Satirical journalism took off with “The Daily Show” 25 years ago. Today, shows made possible by what “The Daily Show” built continue to grow in popularity, deliver truthful content and correspond with how viewers react to the news. jaspudi@iu.edu

Winter Dance concert ‘Earthward’ to run Dec. 10-11 live audience since before the COVID-19 pandemic two years ago.

“There’s a lot of enthusiasm from the dancers,” Natesan Batley said. “You can see that from the way they were hooting and sup- porting each other.”

The Department of Theatre, Drama, and Contemporary Dance will premiere “Earthward,” the winter dance concert Dec. 10- 11 in the Ruth N. Halls Theatre.

Shows will be Friday at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.

This year, the dance concert is titled “Earthward”. In director Eliz- abeth Shea’s note to the audience, she said the pieces in “Earth-

Before performing “Kavin Kaati — in the beautiful forest,” the dancers huddled onstage in Ruth N. Halls Theatre during the Saturday dress rehearsal. They were laughing and taking pictures before eventually getting a group photo with the choreographer, Dr. Prathiba Natesan Batley.

After more pictures, laughs and affirmations from the audi- ence, the lights dimmed and the theater fell silent. The perfor- mance was about to begin.

For a lot of the dancers, this was their first time performing on a stage with a

ward’’ explore multiple relationships between bodies and the ground through thought-provoking cho- reography and performance.

The winter dance concert showcases dance faculty and guest artist-choreographed dances. The concert features sophomores, ju- niors and senior undergraduate students in the IU Contemporary Dance Program.

This concert is a learning expe- rience for the dancers, but also for the students who work on techni- cal aspects like lighting, costumes and stage management, Shea said. This concert is something every- one has been working on since the semester started in August.

Natesan Batley said she incor- porated Bharatanatyam, an an- cient Indian classical dance form, into her choreography as she is primarily a Bharatanatyam danc- er. She was thrilled to work with the dancers and see their dedica- tion and energy, she said.

“In an ancient text in Bharatanatyam we talk about what are the 10 qualities of a good dancer, and one of the most im- portant qualities they say is Shradha: devotion or dedication to the dance floor,” Natesan Batley said. “They just did it over and over and over until they got it to the place where we wanted it to be.”

“Earthward” will present

seven performances featuring different dance styles and personal themes from faculty choreographers and two guest choreographers.

Act 1 begins with “Crossroads in Conversation” by Beatrice Capote followed by “Villanelle” by Selene Carter and “LABOR” by Baba Stafford C. Berry, Jr. After a 15-minute intermis- sion, Act 2 will start with guest artist Natesan Batley’s “Kavin Kaati — in the beautiful forest.” This is followed by “Counterpole” by Shea, “Reflections” by Robert F. Burden, Jr. and ends with “Be- clouded” by guest artist Cameron McKinney.

Specific information, cred- its and program notes

for each performance can be found in the “Earthward” Production Program on the Department of Theatre, Drama, and Contemporary Dance website.

Shea said the performances in “Earthward” are an amazing cel- ebration of humanity.

“It’s more than just watch- ing pleasing shapes and bodies moving across space,” Shea said.

“There is a joyousness and exuber- ance of our very being and I think people will feel full when they leave the theater.”

Tickets are available on the Department of Theatre, Drama, and Contemporary Dance web- site.

Regardless of your status — whether as a hopeless romantic or holiday scrooge — here are three romantic comedies to watch this Christmas season:

By Erin Stafford ecstaffo@iu.edu | @erincstafford

There is something magical about Christmastime that acts as the perfect backdrop for falling in love. Perhaps that is why romance and holiday cheer come together in the narratives of so many seasonal films.

Whether it is through an abundance of advertisements about what gift to give that special someone or the overwhelming number of holiday love stories on the Hallmark channel each year, media drives us to believe that Christmas is all about romance.

As many festive movies

“Love Actually” Written and directed by ro- mantic comedy auteur Richard Curtis, “Love Actually” inter- twines the lives of 10 couples in London during the month leading up to Christmas.

Horoscope Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is a 7 — Household projects provide satisfying results, after making a mess first. Don’t force something that’s stuck, or risk breakage. Clean and make repairs.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is an 8 — Connect with your networks for ideas around an obstacle. Don’t get pushy. Wait for better conditions to advance or launch. Do the background preparation.

The film opens up at the Heathrow Airport arrivals gate, where friends and families wel- come their loved ones home for the holidays.

The reunions depict a love that is all around during the festive season.

The individual stories of each person falling in and out of love begin to unravel immediately as the stresses of Christmas set in.

In “Love Actually,” you get the typical office Christmas party and elementary school nativity scenes, but these holiday events pale in comparison to the variety of love stories throughout the film.

Being heard

The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the challenges the Deaf community faces daily.

By Lizzie Kaboski lkaboski@iu.edu | @lizziekaboski

When IU senior Katherine Brown enters a silent classroom, she can hear everything.

A student seated next to her clears her throat. As a student sits in a chair nearby, she can hear the seat squeak. Across the room, her professor shuffles through her bag.

Brown adjusts her hearing aids and moves to focus on the notebook in front of her.

Her biology professor begins to speak to the class while, of course, wearing a mask.

Brown can’t watch her professor’s lips move.

Sometimes, Brown, a biology and psychology double major, misses out on information in class despite how hard she pays attention to the professor speaking. When she talks to her peers with masks on, she may just smile, nod and occasionally laugh even if she doesn’t know what is being said.

Her hearing aids amplify the sound frequencies she might not be able to hear normally. However, she has an auditory processing disorder that prevents her from filtering out background noise.

The treatment for each contradicts the other, Brown said.

Brown exists as a person who is hard of hearing in a world dependent on hearing, she said. The COVID-19 pandemic has made it more difficult to obtain the accommodations she already has to advocate for daily. She said she used to lip read to understand what people were saying. Now, she doesn’t have that option.

“With COVID, it’s the same thing,” Brown said. “Just worse.” * * * When the COVID-19 pandemic began, the world faced extraordinary challenges in communication, social interaction and safety. Jobs became virtual, students took online classes and only saw their peers in person in a sea of mask-covered faces.

Vaccine availability and fewer hospitalizations nationwide have allowed for mask mandate removals. As of Nov. 29, the COVID-19 positivity rate in Monroe County is 5.78%, according to the Indiana COVID-19 dashboard. IU students can take masks off while outdoors on campus. Bars, restaurants and clubs are open and full of largely maskless crowds.

Other than the use of masks indoors, it seems like normalcy has almost returned.

For the Deaf and hard-of-hearing community, however, some of these challenges persist.

In the Deaf community, American Sign Language is the primary language used to communicate. It is a visual language expressed by movements of the hands and face, and it has its own signals for pronunciation and grammar.

Brown said the Deaf community includes many kinds of people with different ways of communicating. Some Deaf people only use ASL, while others only speak English. There is not one typical Deaf person, Brown said.

“The way I learned about the Deaf community is that it’s like a target in the center and there are layers in it,” Brown said. “In the center are people who are fully Deaf, fully immersed in the culture and know ASL. You get through more layers to someone who is Deaf but maybe not fluent in ASL and you get people who are Deaf but don’t know ASL.” Speakers of auditory languages often use vocal inflection to distinguish between a question and a statement. In ASL, speakers use facial expressions and mouth morphemes, which are mouth movements that convey an adjective, adverb or another descriptive meaning in association with an ASL word to convey meaning.

ASL grammar is also displayed through facial expressions and mouth morphemes.

For example, if one’s eyebrows are raised, it signals a yes-or-no question.

Hard-of-hearing students will often read lips to comprehend language. With masks, this is made almost impossible.

ANNA BROWN

IU senior Katherine Brown shows her hearing aid Oct. 19, 2021, outside of Goodbody Hall. She began wearing hearing aids when she was in fourth grade.

She remained in the room for two hours completing tests.

“It felt like I was inside a box,” Brown said.

“It felt like I was inside a box.”

— Katherine Brown

The audiologist recommended she use an FM system in the classroom, a device where the speaker talks into a microphone and the listener wears a receiver. It amplified her teacher’s voice and reduced any background noise. She wore the receiver on the front of her body like a necklace.

In fourth grade, she started wearing hearing aids.

“The hearing loss didn’t bother me, but I hated wearing them,” Brown said. “Older kids on the bus would call me a cyborg.”

The main reason for the yearly visits was to get tests and have the audiologist adjust the frequency levels of her hearing aids, which she now does on an app herself. Her hearing aids also connect to Bluetooth, so she can listen to music and take phone calls with them.

“I couldn’t wear hearing aids on phone calls before Bluetooth,” she said. “It would be really static-y.”

Brown said going to the audiologist was always fun for her. It was an hour drive from her house, so she had to skip school.

“My mom would let me get ice cream and pick out a dollar store toy after,” Brown said. “I remember this seahorse I got once.

When you squeezed it, it would light up inside.

During Brown’s senior year of high school, one of her teachers suggested she apply to Gallaudet University, a college for Deaf students in Washington, D.C. Brown said she considered it, but she isn’t fluent in ASL, the primary language at Gallaudet.

She would be attending classes while trying to learn the language. In public school, she said she knows how to seek out accommodations because she has done it since kindergarten.

“I’d be attending classes while trying to learn the language,” Brown said.

Brown said IU’s Disability Services in the Division of Student Affairs has accommodated her well. Professors will record lectures and send them to her with a copy of notes. Sometimes, her professors provide live closed captions, meaning a person types what a professor says as they speak.

Brown hopes to go to graduate school for a degree in biology or psychology. She said she’s interested in doing research someday.

“I’m really interested in the connection between the mind and body,” Brown said.

“I would also love to research in a field like environmental conservation.” * * * In a small classroom in Ballantine Hall, students watch professor Rob Loveless describe instructions to his SPHS-A 400: Deaf Culture class in ASL. The students in his class are all hearing students, so interpreter Pam Patton-Wright translates instructions from ASL to spoken English.

All seven members of the ASL faculty at IU are fully Deaf. The transition to online class provided a challenge for the professors. Rob Loveless, ASL senior lecturer, said none of the ASL faculty had thought to teach an online course given the visual nature of the language.

“It was almost as if we were beginning a new profession,” Loveless said.

For the fall 2021 semester, most ASL classes are still being taught on Zoom. Loveless is one of two instructors teaching ASL classes in person.

While most other departments returned to in-person learning, the IU ASL department decided to keep most of their classes online this semester due to COVID-19 mask restrictions. Senior ASL lecturer Debbie Gessinger said she still sees growth in her students despite teaching over Zoom.

“Some students have built more selfconfidence at home,” Gessinger said.

“We’ve learned to just make the best of the situation.”

Monroe County still has an indoor mask mandate. Until it is lifted, the ASL department plans to keep some classes in person and some online.

“Maybe we’ll find our way 100% back to campus,” Gessinger said. “When we look at

* * * Brown said it’s possible she will go fully Deaf one day.

She’s thought about what could happen if she completely loses her hearing. She anticipates she’ll experience age-related hearing loss anyway. It doesn’t scare her, but she knows how challenging it could be.

“We live in a world that is really dependent on hearing,” Brown said. “It would be something I’d have to adapt to, but I think it’d be kind of isolating.”

“We live in a world that is really dependent on hearing.”

— Katherine Brown

* * * When Brown was in kindergarten, she began to lose her hearing. She wouldn’t look at the teacher during class and would have trouble completing certain assignments.

Her teacher told her parents she wasn’t paying attention in class, but it was because she couldn’t hear what was being said.

The school recommended she see an audiologist, a medical professional who diagnoses and balances hearing problems.

Brown and her mom made the hour drive to see the audiologist, who guided her into a soundproof room with a thick, heavy door.

expectations, we are learning what we can with what we have.”

Senior ASL lecturer Jill Lestina said she typically relies on slide presentations to deliver information to her students. If she tried to use the “share screen” function on Zoom, she couldn’t point to certain things on the screen.

Lestina conquered this challenge by making the slides her virtual background on Zoom.

“This method has been helpful in terms of making the connection between students and the actual material being taught,” Lestina said.

Lestina, who teaches some classes in person, said she was nervous about the challenge of being unable to see her students’ facial expressions and mouth morphemes during in-person sessions.

However, she said she gave clear masks to her students.

“I felt like I was giving them this amazing gift,” Lestina said. “It’s very important you have that ability to see people’s facial grammar.”

In the classroom, Lestina said she can point and describe what a student is wearing. Professors have many options to get a student’s attention in person — they might flash a light or pat on a desk. On Zoom, waving their hands in front of the camera may be their only option, and the student may not even be looking at the screen.

Associate professor of ASL Joe Murray said he deals with similar frustrations during online classes. He said the three-dimensional communication that comes with ASL is completely lost on Zoom.

“We use the space around us to communicate,” Murray said. “There is a great deal of perspective that takes place with 3D communication.”

Murray teaches his fall class online. He said he still struggles with keeping every student’s attention on the Zoom screen because they are all at different locations on the screen and use different devices. If he points to a student who is at the top of his screen, the student may not know they are at the top of his screen.

“It’s been a year and a half of teaching on Zoom,” Murray said. “We’re still adjusting.”

ANNA BROWN

IU students sign during an American Sign Language class Oct. 20, 2021, at Lindley Hall. IU professor Jill Lestina provided the class with clear masks. “It’s very important you have the ability to see people’s mouths,” she said.

Both her parents and younger brother can hear. Doctors say her hearing loss could be genetic, meaning she could pass it on to future children.

She’d like to get married someday, perhaps even have kids. But she doesn’t know if she wants to have kids with this possibility.

“You want your kid to have all the tools to succeed,” Brown said. “Being Deaf is not exactly a tool to succeed in a hearing world.”

She knows there are solutions, of course.

Her hearing aids help, she said, but Brown’s auditory processing disorder causes her to hear background noises more intensely, like a chair being pulled out or a backpack being unzipped. She can hear the most subtle noises in a room full of people moving but still feels like she must guess what people are saying when they speak.

The only time she takes her hearing aids out is about an hour before she goes to sleep. Brown said she can barely hear anything without them. She’ll typically sit in her room doing homework in silence for that hour before she goes to sleep.

“Sometimes, it’s nice to have quiet.”

Indiana defeats Penn State 70-40

Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. enters transfer portal

Senior guard Ali Patberg celebrates after a basket Nov. 14 2021 at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. Indiana defeated Penn State 70-40 Monday.

By Matt Sebree masebr@iu.edu | @mattsebree

No. 10 Indiana women’s basketball opened Big Ten play with a 70-40 win over Penn State on Monday at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall in Bloomington.

Indiana started slow with two turnovers in the first 90 seconds to give Penn State a 6-2 lead, forcing head coach Teri Moren to call an early timeout. The timeout led to a quick run that gave the Hoosiers the lead, and they outscored the Nittany Lions 16-7 across the final eight minutes of the first quarter.

After the shaky start, Indiana never trailed during the final three quarters behind a dominant defensive performance. Penn State’s 40 points are the least Indiana has given up in a Big Ten game since March 4, 2004, against Wisconsin.

“Really proud of our guys and how they bounced back after a really tough night the other night in terms of our being able to score with any kind of ease,” Moren said. “So it’s a great way to start out the Big Ten conference schedule.”

Penn State junior guard Makenna Marisa scored 13 of her team’s first 15 points and ended the day as the game’s leading scorer with 21 points.

No other Penn State player recorded more than 8 points, and outside of Marisa, the team shot 26.4%.

On the other side, the Hoosiers shot 51% on the day, including 42.9% from 3-point range as all five starters scored in double figures.

Junior forward Mackenzie Holmes scored 16 points and led the team in scoring for the third-straight game.

Both Moren and Holmes said the difficult non-con-

ference schedule the team played has prepared them for the rest of the season. Both said Indiana had a chance in each of the team’s losses and learning from past mistakes helped the team tonight and will continue into the future.

“We lost a lot of close games that I know we could have and should have won,” Holmes said. “That’s one part of motivation for letting those games slip away, but another part is that we can compete with any team in the country and showing that we’re one of the top teams in the country every single night is really important to us.”

Graduate student Nicole Cardaño-Hillary scored 14 points and hit three 3-pointers in a bounce-back performance. She failed to record any points against North Carolina State University last game, but the guard said she takes the same mindset into

every game despite the shots sometimes not going in.

Indiana turned the ball over seven times in the first quarter and 18 times in the game. Moren said the goal for the team is 11 turnovers or less in a game.

“The only frustrating piece of the game is again our turnovers,” Moren said.

“Once again, we were careless tonight, I thought, especially in the first half, and we’ve got to fix that.”

Moren said the team is looking forward to the few days of break without travel before they play again. She said she hopes to use the break to work on fixing some of the mistakes that have plagued the team throughout the early season.

Indiana moved to 6-2 on the season with the win and will face Fairfield University at 7 p.m. Thursday in Bloomington.

Indiana football quarterback Michael Penix Jr. entered the transfer portal Sunday, according to a post on his instagram account.

“I feel blessed to have been able to represent Indiana University,” Penix wrote in the post. “I appreciate the opportunity that was afforded to me by Coach Allen and I’m grateful for his belief in me.”

In 2021, Penix passed for 939 yards, four touchdowns and seven interceptions before suffering an acromioclavicular joint separation in his left shoulder against Penn State on Oct. 2, which ended up as a season-ending injury. He entered the season on watchlists for the Davey O’Brien, Walter Camp and Maxwell Awards.

Penix joined Indiana in 2018 out of Tampa Bay Technical High School in Tampa, Florida. He redshirted his freshman year after suffering an injury against Penn State.

Penix was named In-

diana’s starting quarterback in 2019, starting in six games before a season-ending sternoclavicular joint injury in his right shoulder against Northwestern. He passed for 1,394 yards, 10 touchdowns and four interceptions.

Penix started six games in the pandemic-shortened 2020 season before suffering a torn ACL against Maryland. He lifted Indiana above then-No. 8 Penn State in its season opener with a stretch to the pylon in a two-point conversion in overtime.

He passed for 1,645 yards, 14 touchdowns and four interceptions. Penix had a career-high 491 yards and five touchdowns against Ohio State, the most passing yards allowed in Ohio Stadium in Columbus, Ohio, since 1985. He was named a semifinalist for the Davey O’Brien Award and earned Indiana’s Anthony Thompson Most Valuable Player Award following the season.

Penix was named a team captain in 2020 and 2021.

both events. In the 1-meter he scored a 386.63, and in the 3-meter, he marked a 340.05.

Indiana continued to perform in the lanes winning 12 out of 14 swimming events.

Three-time Big Ten men’s swimmer of the week junior Brendan Burns individually won the 200yard freestyle with a time of 1:38.95 and the 500-yard

freestyle finishing with a 4:26.08.

“Our team’s looking really good and working together,” Burns said. “We have a really great group of guys, from the freshman all the way to the seniors.”

Senior Jack Franzman individually won the 50yard freestyle with a time of 19.38, and freshman Rafael Miroslaw individually placed first in the 100-yard

freestyle with a time of 43.87.

Indiana secured the top three places in the 1,000yard freestyle as sophomore Warren Briggs came in first with a 9:16.68, freshman Aidan Reagan took second with a 9:32.10 and freshman Mason Carlton placed third with a 9:37.38.

Sophomore Maxwell Reich secured first in the 100-yard breaststroke with

a time of 55.28 and in the 200-yard breaststroke with a 2:00.70, seven seconds ahead of the second-place Bearcat.

Senior Van Mathias won the 100-yard backstroke with a time of 48.32, sophomore Tomer Frankel placed first in the 200-yard butterfly with a 1:44.12 and senior Gabriel Fantoni secured the 200-yard individual medley with a time of 1:46.92.

Give yourself a gift while you shop for others this season.

Chants of “Hoosier relay!” came from teammates to begin the 400-yard freestyle relay, helping the squad of Franzman, Burns, freshman Rafael Miroslaw and sophomore Gavin Wight secure first with a time of 2:56.96.

Indiana took the top two places in the 200-yard medley relay. Their ‘A’ squad of Fantoni, Mathias, Frankel and Franzman placed first with a time of 1:26.14. The ‘B’ squad of seniors Jacob Steele and Brandon Hamblin, freshman Luke Barr and Burns finished second with a time of 1:28.45.

Looze said he was proud of the relay exchanges and hard work from the squads after talking about needing a championship mentality from them at the Ohio State Fall Invitational.

“We have been really emphasizing an improvement of our relays because we’ve got big goals,” Looze said. “We want to have relays that are in the A final at the NCAAs, that can contend for Big Ten Championships, and we need to be better.”

Indiana will take a break to continue training before the second half of the season and Big Ten Championships begin in February.

They return to the pool Jan. 8 to face Michigan in Ann Arbor.

ICE HOCKEY

Indiana shakes off overtime loss, dominates in game two

By Matt Press mtpress@iu.edu | @MatthewPress23

After Club Ice Hockey at IU won six straight games in November, their streak came to an end Friday night in its out-of-conference game against Saint Louis University.

The Billikens, who have a 5-12 record, came into the Frank Southern Ice Arena in Bloomington to defeat the Hoosiers 6-5 in overtime.

The low ceiling of the ice rink proved troublesome for the Billikens, striking the hanging bars and subsequently halting play multiple times in the opening minutes. After adjusting to both the rink’s dimensions and the fast-paced play of the Hoosiers, graduate student defenseman Charlie West found the net on a power play to put the Billikens up 1-0 five minutes into the game. The visitors would strike again just three minutes later off the stick of graduate student winger Jeffrey Au, and the Hoosiers fell into a quick 2-0 hole.

A deep wrist shot from Indiana junior defenseman Nathan Cesarki flew past St. Louis goalkeeper Keegan Heggar for a goal, and the Hoosiers pulled within one.

The final minutes of the opening period represented a momentum shift when punishing checks from Indiana’s backline rejuvenated the fans.

The Hoosiers dominated the second period with 15 shots on target, 17 faceoff wins and 12 hits, compared to eight, eight and six, respectively, from the Billikens.

The Hoosiers scored three unanswered goals from the freshman trio of forwards Jack O’Flaherty, Ithan DeLorenzo and Drew Micheli.

A rebound goal from junior forward Jack Kissell, the Hoosier’s second-leading goal scorer, drew the teams level at 5-5 and headed for overtime. Freshman forward Tommy MacDonald was ejected after a misconduct penalty, leaving the Hoosiers shorthanded for thirty seconds in the final minute of overtime.

St. Louis took advantage, and sophomore forward Travis Herrick found the net on the power play.

“Heading into this we were the 17th-ranked team in the country, and we know we’re a really good hockey team when we play hard,”

Indiana head coach Andrew Weiss said. “But when you come in with a so-so effort, that’s kinda what happens.”

In game two on Saturday, Indiana again threatened early and jumped out to a 6-1 shot on target advantage in the first five minutes.

O’Flaherty fired a wrist shot into the net to open the scoring with three minutes left in the first period.

The Billikens responded quickly as Au wrapped around the net to sneak one past the Hoosiers’ goalkeeper Ben Zarembski for a shorthanded goal. Micheli answered with just under a minute of play in the first period, rebounding a shot for the 2-1 lead.

The middle period, like Friday night, belonged to the Hoosiers. With the chippiness came penalty minutes for Indiana. However, freshman forward Will Gerami slipped one past the glove of Heggar for the shorthanded goal. After yet another shorthanded goal for Gerami off of a breakaway, the Hoosiers were rolling and would add two more goals in the period from graduate student Vladamir Krusch and sophomore Matt Mckay.

A goal three minutes into the final period from Kissell was the nail in the coffin.

Even with the game out of

reach, the Hoosiers would continue to light up the scoreboard, and added five more goals from DeLorenzo, O’Flaherty, MacDonald and junior forward Jack Null, four of which came from power plays.

Club president and senior forward Cade Kenyon found the 12-3 result more characteristic of the team.

“We figured out that last night was a bad game and turned it around here today,” Kenyon said. “We knew we should have been beating this team by a lot and we put a lot of hard work out there today and got the win.”

Kenyon stressed the importance of fundamentals.

“It’s just the little things,” he said. “ You have to make sure you’re catching passes, putting tape to tape, and shooting the puck on net, and tonight we had quality shots.”

Indiana is now 11-6 and sits in second in the Tri-State Collegiate Hockey League South division. It will travel to Ann Arbor to play Michigan Jan. 21.
