Police look into string of overdoses

By Jack Evans jackevan@indiana.edu | @JackHEvans

A string of local heroin overdoses last week police said was as severe as any in recent memory appears to have tapered off over the past few days.

Bloomington Police Department officers have responded to 11 overdoses, including nine from Tuesday through Thursday, since Feb. 1, BPD Capt. Steve Kellams said Friday. Those numbers only reflect responses by BPD, not cases in which only emergency medical services or other agencies respond.

None of those 11 overdoses resulted in death, and in several cases, responders or bystanders administered the overdose-reversing drug naloxone, Kellams said. Police responded to five of those overdoses in a six-hour period Wednesday.

That spike may have ended, though.

Teri deMatas, the vice president for marketing and community relations at IU Health Bloomington Hospital, said Sunday afternoon that no people with heroin overdoses went into the hospital’s emergency department during the Saturday or Sunday day shifts.

Police daily logs for Friday and Saturday did not appear to include responses to drug overdoses, and BPD Lt. Jeff Canada said at press time Saturday he had no new information on the situation.

Police have been investigating the overdoses as connected to a single source of heroin, Kellams said Friday.

“Our investigators are working very hard to identify where this is coming from and get it off the streets,” he said.

If police identify the seller, they’re likely to pursue charges more serious than standard drug-dealing ones, Kellams said.

As of Friday, police did not yet know what about the heroin has caused the overdoses.

Nor does anybody else, Indiana Recovery Alliance director Chris Abert said Friday. What he said he does know is that naloxone, which the IRA distributes, is working.

A Friday press release from the IRA noted the harm reduction project has distributed more than 5,000 doses of naloxone since September 2015 and, as of Friday, has received reports of 500 overdose reversals via naloxone. Of those 500, only one ended SEE OVERDOSES, PAGE 6

Freshman Alese Allen cries as she recalls fond memories of Djiby Sissoko. Students gathered at Showalter Fountain to tell others how the c-store worker changed their lives.

Students remember RPS cashier

By Cody Thompson Comthomp@umail.iu.edu | @CodyMThompson

A

t Showalter Fountain junior Richard Solomon leaned his bike against the concrete lip around the fountain pool.

He set down a box of small candles and pulled out his

lighter.

The light rain and blowing wind made it difficult for the wick to catch flame. By the time he had it lit, around a dozen more solemn and silent people were standing by.

In the end, about 100 former and current students gathered Saturday evening in memorial for Djiby Sissoko, a Wright Quad c-store cashier who recently died of cancer.

“Djiby was a well-loved, kind and compassionate RPS employee,” Solomon, who organized the vigil, said. “For many of us who went to the Wright c-store, we saw him as a guardian angel or a black Santa Claus. He was a part of this community.”

Candles lit candles, and, in some cases, cigarettes, until one could feel the warmth of the fire while standing in the midst of the crowd. For a while it was silent except for the drizzle of the rain on open umbrellas.

Solomon said he organized the vigil for Djiby but also to honor other employees in thankless jobs like cashiers and bus drivers. He said the student relationships with these people

often feels transactional.

Students who frequent the Wright c-store would recognize Djiby’s thick Mali accent. They may know he could speak French and his favorite Premier League soccer team was Arsenal. It was often the case that the line on Djiby’s register stretched much further than the one on the other.

Many students say he remembered their names after meeting once. They said he was selfless, and most knew relatively little about him.

Many didn’t know his age, when exactly he died or much else about his life. Staff in Wright Quad said he kept his personal life to himself.

That’s something senior Rob Sherrell said was great about Djiby — his selflessness.

“He wouldn’t talk about his day,” Sherrell said. “He would only talk about yours. I think that was his point.”

Sherrell met Djiby on his first trip to the c-store his freshman year.

“We just hit it off,” he said.

Sherrell said sometimes he would come into the c-store not to buy anything but to talk with Djiby.

“He had this infectious personality that, whenever he talked to SEE DJIBY, PAGE 6

Junior guards James Blackmon Jr. and Robert Johnson went

75-63 More Michigan, page 8 Leadership was just one problem for the Hoosiers on Sunday.

The audience was already on its feet before funk legend Maceo Parker appeared on stage.

The saxophonist, known for his solos in James Brown’s “I Got You (I Feel Good)” and “Cold Sweat,” was greeted by standing ovation Saturday night at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater.

Under low lighting, members of Parker’s backing band set up a light rhythmic groove.

Then, joined by Maceo himself, the group launched full-force into his self-described “98 percent funky stuff, 2 percent jazz” sound.

Parker and his band, the WDR Big Band from Cologne, Germany, paid extensive homage to funk pioneers James Brown and George Clinton with spin-offs of “Make it Funky” and “Mothership Connection.”

Once a sideman to Brown and Clinton in the 1960s and

1970s, Parker went on to pursue a solo recording career in the 1990s. In his multi-decade career as a sideman he was scouted out to play with the Dave Matthews Band, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Prince, who even affectionately referred to Parker as “the Teacher.”

Brown also recognized Parker’s technical prowess on the baritone, tenor and alto saxophones with a famous catchphrase: “Maceo, blow your horn.”

In between numbers on Saturday, Parker encouraged the audience to remember the artists who came before him.

“Everyone, please, would you give it up for James Brown?” he said.

Sixth-grader Jack Lake, the winner of the vocabulary competition, which took place before the IU Bee, spells in an early round. There were 28 participants in this year’s regional spelling bee.

Spelling bee produces national contender

By Jesse Naranjo jlnaranj@indiana.edu | @jesselnaranjo

Students battled at the Monroe County Public Library Saturday afternoon in a competition that began with “shampoo” and ended in “carious.”

The IU Bee was one of many regional spelling bees across the country. These are the final rounds before the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C., at the end of May. The IU Bee featured 28 students from Brown, Green, Monroe, Morgan and Owen counties.

Stakes were high and the

competition was plentiful — each speller was their respective school’s champion — but in the end the win went to Daniel Larsen , a seventhgrader from Jackson Creek Middle School in Bloomington. His victory followed a back-and-forth bout between him and runner-up Tara Ganguly that began in the 10th round and extended long enough for the pronouncer to lose track of the number of exchanges.

Larsen admitted he only studied the provided word list for four hours after his last win. He said losing his school-wide spelling bee last

year pushed him to practice for this year’s bee, but because he didn’t expect to make it this far, he didn’t know how he was going to celebrate.

“I haven’t really thought about it,” Larsen said. “I didn’t think I was going to win.”

Despite his modesty, Larsen was familiar with the origins of even a challenging word, “Bildungsroman.” Ganguly was last year’s regional champion and went to Washington, D.C. In the second round of overtime, Ganguly mistook her first word, “humorous,” for the champion word, the

final word to spell in the competition.

A look of excitement flashed across her face before reality set in, and she realized she needed to spell one more word. After she misspelled it, Larsen was back in the running.

They exchanged four more words before Larsen won on his championship word, “carious,” which describes area of decayed bone or tooth.

Ganguly is an eighthgrader at Tri-North Middle School, also in Bloomington, and her father, Sumit Ganguly, is a professor of political

science at IU. He said on one hand the competition is thrilling, but on the other it’s extremely stressful.

“Now the task is going to console her and remind her that there are disappointments in life,” he said.

Most competitors rushed through their words in the first round, though some took their time, wrote the word out invisibly on their hand and asked for the word to be used in a sentence.

Others were so sure of their spelling they returned to their seats before the bell rang to signal so. By the

second round, words were difficult enough for relatives in the crowd to shake their heads in confusion.

Some words that received such responses were “hibachi,” “spitz” and “dugong”.

The list also featured multiple words with Hawaiian origin: “kona,” “kahuna” and “muumuu.”

Larsen, whose trip to the national bee will be paid for by the Media School and School of Education, said he has yet to process the magnitude of his win. After the competition, he said he wasn’t ready to feel nervous.

“I’m still in shock,” he said.

Professors discuss the intersection of faith and science

By Rachel Leffers rleffers@indiana.edu | @rachelleffers

Questions regarding the existence of humanity remain present because no one, scientists and Christians alike, can prove how humanity came into existence, assistant professor Collin Hobbs said.

At the Professing Christ in the Sciences event Sunday, IU science professors, lecturers and leaders in their churches said the perceived conflict between science and Christianity is not present.

“There is no conflict,” said senior lecturer Ben Burlingham from the Department of Chemistry. ”I couldn’t be a scientist if there was.”

Much of the disbelief in Christianity comes from the lack of scientific proof and

many Christians support life’s unexplainable phenomena, such as miracles, Burlingham said.

Professor James C. Williams, from the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology, said science is a field where they can only study what is repeatable in the world. Because miracles are not events that are repetitive by nature, they can’t be studied.

Burlingham said science and Christianity can only be contradictory if miracles are not possible, but just because they can’t be studied does not mean they are not real.

Williams said there is a hypocrisy in the sciences because the supernatural is also a field that can’t be studied because it is not repetitive in nature, but

scientists study it anyway.

Many scientists believe in other life forms, such as aliens, without any sound proof, he said.

“Just because we only study what’s natural in the universe,” Williams said.

“That doesn’t mean that’s all there is.”

Hobbs, a professor at Huntington University and an IU alumnus, said for most of human history science and Christianity have gone hand in hand. It is only since the Age of Enlightenment that individuals have created the belief that the two are contradictory, he said.

Hobbs said he believes the concept of Christianity and science as two separate entities comes from humans trying to categorize things into different boxes, making them feel as if it is a choice

between the spiritual world or the natural world.

“As a human being, I find that to be a dishonest way to live your life because we were made both as spiritual and physical organisms,” he said.

Hobbs said there are different perspectives from which individuals approach scientific topics. Because everyone is inclined to their natural biases, two people could look at the same information and draw different conclusions based on the outcome they want he said.

“Whether you like it or not, we all have agendas and biases,” he said.

In most situations, scientists have made up their minds about the validity of Christianity before they enter their field, which adds to their biases and blocks their

ability to understand both perspectives, Williams said.

The three men, who don’t follow the beliefs that are socially pressured upon them from their field of study, said they would rather stand up for their faith then believe in theories that can’t be proven beyond reasonable doubt.

Burlingham and Williams said they believe in young earth creationism, meaning they believe the earth is 6,000 to 10,000 years old, although they admit there is proof that suggests the Earth has existed for a longer time.

They said there is a lot that can still be debated about the many scientific theories, but that most scientists believe they can’t be wrong about what they think they know.

Although Williams said

he reads Genesis in a literal manner, he could imagine coming before God, only to have him admit it was written poetically.

Although all three men said they admit there is proof to suggest their beliefs are unsound, there is evidence to suggest many theories which contradict Christianity are unsound as well.

Hobbs said both scientists and Christians do not know the answers to every question, which is why they must live their lives with humility.

“I definitely would be the first person to say that I do not understand every fact,” Hobbs said. “If you were to bring out every individual fact and say ‘Well, how do you reconcile this fact? How do you reconcile that fact?’

I would not be able to do that.”

Ken Gros Louis, a former chancellor of IU, turned 80 recently, and friends and colleagues put together a party to honor his work and commitment to IU students.

Friends honor former IU chancellor

By Dominick Jean drjean@indiana.edu | @dominojean

As each person walked into the Federal Room, their eyes were drawn to an older man sitting in the corner of the room at the Indiana Memorial Union. Many would walk over at once, stick out their hands and greet Ken Gros Louis, a former chancellor of IU, like the old friend he was to each of them.

Gros Louis remembered every one of them by their names and occupations.

Each of these people had come together to celebrate Gros Louis, his achievements and his recent 80th birthday.

“I’ve been here long enough that the sons and daughters of graduates from the 80s come to me,” Gros Louis said. “Being with students has been the greatest experience.”

As chancellor for 25 years, Gros Louis was responsible for communicating with students, faculty and staff about concerns they might have.

Gros Louis said his job was always about the students.

“The goal was for students to have the best experience possible,” Gros Louis said.

Luke Fields, an old friend, former IU student and the organizer for Gros Louis’ party, said he wanted a quiet evening with alumni who Gros Louis left his mark on the most. Fields compared Gros Louis to Herman B Wells, whose position he filled as chancellor.

“You and I never knew Herman B,” Fields said. “He’s as close as we’re going to get.”

Gros Louis came to IU from from the East Coast in 1964 when he was applying for an English professorship.

He said he never expected

to find himself in Indiana, which until he came was only an image of cornfields in his mind. Gros Louis said when he was interviewing at different universities he was always introduced to people by their titles.

When he came to IU, Herman B Wells and the faculty introduced people by their first names, and Gros Louis said that seemed so “collegial and humane” to him.

“I never thought I’d end up in Indiana,” Gros Louis said. “But it just seemed a different atmosphere.”

Gros Louis was one of the advocates for the creation of the Office of Gay, Lesbian & Bisexual Student Support Services and the School of Journalism. Despite all this activity, Fields said there was never a time when he was unable to walk in and talk with Gros Louis.

Fields, who is now an attorney in Washington, D.C., said he remembered asking Gros Louis for advice about job searching, relationship problems and all the issues that came up during his own time as IU Student Association president.

“Unequivocally, he’s the best set of listening ears I’ve ever known,” Fields said. “He knows how it works, and he is so ready to invest in you.”

Alex Shortle, an IU alumnus and the vice president of Meridian Street Capital, a venture capital firm based in Indianapolis, said no one was more approachable than Gros Louis.

“He was the one administrator who always believed we’re here for the students,” Shortle said. “The joy for him was really the students.”

Shortle echoed the recurring theme of the evening and

called Gros Louis a mentor, a teacher and “life-altering.”

This sentiment was shared by those present but also those who could not make an appearance. Damon Sims, the vice president for student affairs at Pennsylvania State University, sent Gros Louis a letter for his birthday expressing how thankful Sims was to Gros Louis for helping him reach his goals “I cannot overstate the influence you have had on my life, both personally and professionally,” Sims wrote.

After dessert was served, Fields stood up and offered a toast to Gros Louis, and glasses clinked throughout the room. Gros Louis stood up to thank all of those in attendance from across the country.

“You’re pretty great,” Gros Louis said. “Thank you for your friendship.”

Religious studies scholars, including IU professor Lisa Sideris, will receive $141,215 over three years for a project that will bring humanities perspectives to climate change and other issues of human-environment interaction.

The project, “Being Human in the Age of Humans: Perspectives From Religion and Ethics,” is researching what it means to be human in an age where human influence has become the dominant force on environmental issues according to an IU press release.

Sideris is an associate professor of religious studies in the IU College of Arts and Sciences.

“We argue that scholarship in mythic and religious genres will contribute to deeper understanding of the Anthropocene, including humanity’s role in interacting with and shaping the natural world,” Sideris said in the release.

Funding comes from Humanities Without Walls, a university consortium that encourages research in the humanities.

The project establishes a collaboration by scholars at IU, University of Chicago, Michigan State University and University of Notre Dame.

The project features three main areas: alternative Anthropocene narratives, understanding the implicit religiosity of Anthropocene narratives and frameworks and Incorporating local or native world views.

Legislators assess public school funding with new IU study From IDS reports

Indiana legislators may use a new report from IU as they develop a two-year budget for the state. The report and study, conducted by the Center for Evaluation and Education Policy, involves public school funding, according to an IU press release.

The report was for the

Indiana State Board of Education, and, according to the release, the enrollment of public schools is expected to decline with larger declines projected in traditional public schools than charter schools.

Indiana is also expected to increase funding for public schools; however, the increase will not restore the funding levels present before

2009. In 2009 approximately $7,163, after adjusting for inflation, was spent per student while projects for 2017 show $6,863 per student.

The funding formula, according to the study, seems to have improved equity during the period of the study and projections indicate 2017 will be similar. Equity in funding takes into account school corporations that are

serving similar types of students income-wise, and they receive similar funding.

Thomas Sugimoto, a research associate at the Center for Evaluation and Education Policy, authored the study.

He said he was surprised by the changes in enrollment and how funding varied throughout the state.

However, he added that the

averages the study found, do not provide a complete picture.

“Looking at traditional school corporation enrollment, some lost nearly half their enrollment between 2009 and 2017, while others increased by more than 30 percent,” Sugimoto said in the release.

Specifically, corporations have less total state revenue

but more for each student.

Sugimoto said this may allow a smaller school district to reduce the number of teachers without increasing class sizes.

He hopes the Indiana General Assembly will use the report if it decides to change the formula for school funding.

LUCAS LETS LOOSE

Editors Dylan Moore and Zack Chambers opinion@idsnews.com

EDITORIAL BOARD

Government spying will increase under Trump Donald Trump’s presidency will trigger an unprecedented wave of political organizing, and citizens should be more concerned with government spying.

The United States has a well-documented history of crushing political dissent, and revisiting that history is needed now more than ever. Most are familiar with the legendary political activism of the 1960s. Images of thousands of anti-war protestors, Martin Luther King Jr., the Black Panthers and Malcolm X have all morphed into popular symbols of the American ideal — our right to assemble, associate, speak and think freely. Many of these 1960s movements, however, failed.

In 1975 a Senate investigation called the Church Committee investigated U.S. intelligence agencies and the FBI. Led by Sen. Frank Church, party state, the investigation unearthed the inner workings of the FBI’s Counter-Intelligence Program or COINTELPRO. COINTELPRO’s most well-known operation was the targeting of Martin Luther King Jr. An entire case study in the Church Committee’s report is dedicated to documenting the massive campaign of surveillance and harassment carried out by the Bureau to “‘neutralize’ him as an effective civil rights leader.” Methods included attempts to break up King’s marriage, discredit him as a communist and the sending of letters encouraging him to commit suicide. Actions taken by the FBI against King have long fueled speculations that the Bureau played a role in his assassination, but the Church Committee could not verify these suspicions.

King’s experience was a small fraction of COINTELPRO’s scope. The bulk of the program focused on disrupting a variety of organizations active during the ‘60s, like

the Black Panthers, Students for a Democratic Society, the Communist Party of USA, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the New Left and the Nation of Islam. The FBI planted news stories, wiretapped phones, inappropriately audited people through the IRS and ruined reputations and careers.

The government wanted to turn black and white activists against one another. Fake letters were sent to black civil rights groups posing as white anti-war protesters that refer to “your handkerchief head mamma,” while other fake letters were sent to the Black Panthers that call out the “SDS and its honky intellectual approaches.”

When an anti-war group wanted to drop thousands of flowers over the Pentagon, an FBI agent infiltrated the group and “kept up the pretense right to the point at which the publisher showed up at the airport with 200 pounds of flowers, with no one to fly the plane.” The Bureau also tried to widen the rift between Malcolm X and the Nation of Islam.

Trump’s potential abuse of the surveillance state to crush ideological opponents make Church’s words seem particularly ominous: “If this government ever became a tyranny, if a dictator ever took charge in this country, the technological capacity that the intelligence community has given the government could enable it to impose total tyranny, and there would be no way to fight back because the most careful effort to combine together in resistance to the government, no matter how privately it was done, is within the reach of the government to know.” luwrobin@umail.iu.edu

Keith Cooper receives pardon Gov. Holcomb finally makes good on Mike Pence’s promise Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb granted a pardon last Friday for the wrongful conviction of Keith Cooper, who was convicted for a near-fatal shooting and robbery. The Chicago Tribune reports the case as the first time in Indiana history a governor has pardoned a convicted criminal based on perceived innocence.

Cooper, a 49-year-old grandfather, began serving his sentence in 1996.

In 2014, long after DNA evidence identifying the shooter as another man was presented, the victims of the crime recanted and pleaded on Cooper’s behalf, resulting in the Indiana Parole Board issuing unanimous recommendation of a pardon, according to the Tribune.

His first day as a freed man was last Thursday.

While Gov. Holcomb was swift in pardoning Cooper, a promise he had made on the 2016 campaign trail, his actions diverged from former governor and current Vice President Mike Pence, who escaped this responsibility for ensuring Cooper’s pardon after exonerating evidence and recanted statements were presented in court.

In spite of Cooper’s seemingly obvious innocence, Pence chose not to pardon Cooper during his time as Indiana governor.

Having already had more than two years’ time to consider a pardon, the Pence administration told Cooper during the governor’s vice presidential campaign to “pursue all possible judicial options” before the governor would consider a pardon,

according to the Tribune.

In a video for the Indianapolis Star, Cooper expressed to reporter Dwight Adams his gratitude for Gov. Holcomb and his disdain for former Gov. Pence.

“Had I not been incarcerated, who knows where I would’ve been in life,” he said.

The pardon marks the end of Holcomb’s first month in office. In a statement Thursday, he reaffirmed Cooper’s worthiness of release from his wrongful case.

“Keith Cooper has waited long enough and is deserving of a pardon,” he said.

While Holcomb’s decision is honorable, it came too late. Cooper’s life will never be the same.

The choices and circumstances presented to both governors in pardoning

Cooper were different. Holcomb faced less pressure as a new governor whose administration was not responsible for the stagnation of the pardon. He hadn’t presented more than two years of apathy on the case as Pence did and likely wanted to start his term off on the right foot.

Plus, Pence had a supposed reputation for being “tough on law” and, upon pardoning Cooper, would likely have had to address the issue of mass incarceration which he would rather stay silent on.

Nevertheless, it is Pence’s fault for not pardoning Cooper sooner.

His choice to not prioritize Cooper’s livelihood as soon as possible underscores the quality of government he ran during his time serving in Indiana.

CONVERSATIONS WITH KATE Theater design has received renewed attention on Broadway lately. Rather than acoustics or aesthetics, however, ladies’ restrooms have become the latest architectural concern.

Last week, the New York Times reported a bathroom crisis on Broadway. The record-breaking numbers of attendees this season have also resulted in recordbreaking lines for women’s bathrooms. The wait times are so long that they often exceed the length of intermission.

Currently the bathroom system at these venues is extremely inefficient. Theater bathrooms need to focus on the concept of “potty parity.”

Potty parity demands equity in gender-divided bathroom facilities. Instead of desiring an equal number of toilets or urinals in each bathroom, advocates of potty parity aim to determine the number of fixtures needed to make bathroom access approximately equivalent.

As Kathryn Anthony, professor of architecture at the University of Illinois, and architect Megan Dufresne note, not only does menstruation increase the frequency of female bathroom needs, but women naturally take almost twice as long as men in the bathroom. According to Playbill writer Robert Viagas, Broadway performances tend to attract more women than men in the first place.

The bathroom problem seems current, given the rise of bathroom politics last year, but in reality, the issue is nothing new. A 1996 article in the New York Times Magazine described the “bathroom liberationists” — feminists with full bladders who were ready to storm the men’s room — on Broadway.

John Tierney, the article’s author, memorably compared the women’s

Julia Bourkland is a sophomore in philosophy.

bathroom queue to “an audition for extras in Les Misérables,” by noting “these are the vengeful faces that nobles saw on their way to the guillotine — except that the danger is all too real.”

It would seem the speedier line for the men’s room freed up some time not only to report on the issue but to construct metaphors linking bathroom feminists with both Broadway and the French Revolution.

A 2001 New York Times piece provided an update on the bathroom progress: female architect Francesca Russo was in the process of giving several Broadway theaters and their bathrooms a makeover, yet, as last week’s report shows, such a makeover has yet to happen in many theaters on Broadway.

Gender-neutral bathrooms would seem the obvious solution to this issue of potty parity, and they would dually benefit people who identify as transgender or non-binary. However, architectural constraints limit the practicality of solely genderneutral facilities because the increased privacy typical of these bathrooms also increases the amount of space they occupy.

A complete conversion to gender-neutral bathrooms would be less efficient than traditional bathroom design in maximizing the total number of toilets, as they require more space.

As a result, it’s time to turn some of theater’s creativity energies to the bathrooms. After all, the song “It’s a privilege to pee” from the bathroom-inspired musical “Urinetown” has become all too real on Broadway, even off the stage. jsbourkl@umail.iu.edu

Americans should view health care as a right Let’s talk about playing with fire, or, more specifically, human life.

Legitimate concerns about the future of health care continue as Republicans plan to repeal and replace former President Barack Obama’s health care law. In the face of potentially lost health insurance for millions, American history reminds us of a similar time when the federal government was met with the moral question of prioritizing health and safety.

In 1973, the National Commission on Fire Prevention and Control issued “America Burning,” a report on the literal burning of American homes and citizens. This report contained a recommendation that a new federal fire safety program administer lowerlevel entities and private organizations in reducing the number of deaths and injuries.

Not until federal leaders recognized a desperate

need for a cohesive system was a program created.

Previously, it hadn’t been a federal-level priority.

However, in the face of irreparable damage and human death, it was a problem Congress could no longer ignore. Today Americans’ guaranteed access to universal health care poses a similar question of morality.

An estimated 18 million people could potentially lose their health coverage within the first year after the Republican-majority Congress repeals “Obamacare,” according to the Congressional Budget Office. As threats of revoked coverage loom, more Americans are coming forward in opposition to repeal via emails, phone calls, protests and town halls.

“Obamacare” was contested from the beginning.

People cried socialism.

Insurers and employers were taken aback by the new challenges of the federal statue. Fervent Obama

opponents steamed at anything associated with the former president, much less coined by him.

Now there is an expectation among citizens that the government will include health insurance in its welfare initiatives, and it’s not a greedy one.

We no longer question whether some form of health care provision will be issued to everyone; rather, we now ask how it should be distributed.

Bipartisan legislation continues to broaden the scope of coverage as widely and effectively as possible in spite of the repeal-andnot-replace motives of our current Congress and what President Trump’s empty promises of enacting “something great” might suggest.

Universal health care is not idealistic or partisan, and it’s certainly not a wet dream of the liberal agenda.

The future of health care is relevant to every person,

Kaitlynn Milvert is a senior in English.

whether they’re a singlepayer advocate, a privatization supporter or Secretary of Health and Human Services Tom Price.

History will remember the legacy of health care in the United States as a progression toward ensuring that all are entitled to peace of mind in spite of congressional gambling, Republican elite obstruction and stigma toward illness and disease.

People are no longer willing to except dismissal from the government upon removal of their insurance or be caricatured as feeding out of the government’s hand.

Universal access to health care is a basic right of humanity, and the question of how to move forward is a moral one. Whether you answer it correctly is up to you. kmilvert@umail.iu.edu

New nonprofit, public express desire for new recycling center

By Emily Ernsberger emelerns@indiana.edu | @emilyerns

RACHEL MEERT | IDS

Lil BUB’s owner Mike Bridavsky currently has multiple projects in the works including a concept album, a book with Norbert the Dog and the new Lil BUB's Lil Store set to open Nov. 1.

Lil BUB fundraises for charity

By Brooke McAfee bemcafee@indiana.edu @bemcafee24601

Lil BUB’s face, with her tongue sticking out and big green eyes looking out, is displayed on T-shirts, pillows, plush toys and artwork across Lil BUB’s Lil SHOP. However, the famous cat showed her actual face when she made an appearance with her owner for an event Sunday.

The small cat sat on her owner’s lap as both children and adults greeted and posed for pictures with the cat.

As one kid met Lil BUB, he kissed the top of the small cat’s head.

“I really love the effect BUB has on people,” owner Mike Bridavsky said. “It’s nice to be able to provide this pure, unadulterated happiness,” he said.

The meet-and-greet event at Lil BUB’s Lil SHOP was part of a Brown County Humane Society campaign, “Don’t Let a P+sitive Be a Negative,” which promotes

the adoption of cats that test positive for the feline leukemia virus.

Bridavsky and Lil BUB live in Bloomington. The cat was born with multiple genetic mutations that include her kitten-like size and features, extra toes, and her disproportionately small limbs.

Her lower jaw is smaller than her upper jaw, and she lacks teeth, which means her tongue is always hanging out of her mouth. Since Bridavsky adopted her, she has become an internet sensation with. Her channel has 33 million views on Youtube, she has two million followers on Facebook as on Feb. 12 in addition to the Vice documentary about her.

BCHS received a grant from Lil BUB’s BIG Fund for the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in 2016, which helps it cover adoption fees for sick and special-needs animals.

The proceeds from this meet and greet went toward this fund.

Bridavsky said this event would probably raise about

$4000 or $5000 for the fund.

A poster at the event featured photographs, names and descriptions of five foster cats with the feline leukemia virus that are available for adoption from BCHS. BCHS volunteer and communications manager Erika Imhoof said this event with Lil Bub raises awareness for other cats with special needs.

“It’s a big help for us because it not only raises money, but it is wonderful exposure as well,” she said.

“It’s big to have people look at these cats who would not normally be looked at. It gives us a chance to tell their stories.”

Adoption is a major issue for cats who test positive for feline leukemia because many shelters would automatically euthanize them and people are less likely to adopt sick cats, Imhoof said.

“People hesitate to adopt an animal they might soon lose,” she said.

However, cats with the feline leukemia virus can still live long and happy

lives, she said. They just have special needs.

BCHS had a 97.5-percent save rate in 2016. The shelter only euthanizes animals when they are too sick to be helped or if they are suffering, Imhoof said.

She said she encourages people to adopt animals who are often overlooked, including special needs animals or older animals. They are just as loving as other cats, and they need homes, she said.

Judy Gilchrist, 53, came from Cleveland to attend the event. Seeing Lil Bub was an early birthday present, she said.

Gilchrist said has purchased Lil BUB merchandise and donated to her fund in the past, but this was her first time meeting Bridavsky and his cat.

She said she likes how Lil BUB’s fund supports special needs cats, and she had been wanting to meet the cat for while.

“She’s just so darn cute,” she said. “How could you not love Lil BUB?”

Three months since the Downtown Bloomington Recycling Center shut down, community members are displeased with the limited options for recycling disposal in the city.

About 50 people met at the former downtown recycling center Sunday afternoon to rally against the lack of accessible recycling options.

The Bloomington Indiana Recycling Collective, a recently founded nonprofit made up of former DBRC volunteers, put on the rally to ask the public to assist the group to find a place to establish a new recycling center downtown.

The downtown center operated from 2011 to November 2016. Located in the parking lot of city government buildings at 489 W. 10th St., the center was forced to shut when the city wanted the parking spaces back for the Certified Technology Park.

BIRC asked rally attendees today to help find places downtown where the group could establish a new recycling center, possibly in another parking lot.

“Because the city is unwilling to provide a space to recycle downtown, we have to depend on the community to find a space,” BIRC president Caddie Alford said.

The only recycling center in the city is located at 3400 S. Walnut St., which is near the

Trump started fight with Mark Cuban

By Melanie Metzman mmetzman@indiana.edu @melanie_metzman

In the last few days, President Trump met with the Japanese prime minister, data on the number of people from the seven banned countries entering the U.S. was released, and Trump promised to keep cost of the U.S.-Mexico border wall down. The president also got into a Twitter fight with IU alumnus Mark Cuban. Here’s a rundown of what happened and why it matters.

Trump gets into Twitter fight with Mark Cuban Trump tweeted a jab at IU alumnus and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban Sunday morning.

“I know Mark Cuban well.

He backed me big-time but I wasn’t interested in taking all of his calls. He’s not smart enough to run for president!”

Trump tweeted in his first tweet about Cuban since Trump was sworn in.

Cuban responded to Trump with two tweets of his own. The first said “Lol.” and the link to Trump’s original tweet about Cuban. The second read, “I don’t know. But isn’t it better for all of us that he is tweeting rather than trying to govern ?”

Though Cuban initially supported Trump’s campaign for president, he publicly endorsed Hillary Clinton at a campaign event in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in July.

“Trump scares me,” Cuban said after speaking on behalf of Clinton and Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Virginia, her vice presidential nominee, according to CNN. “Donald, initially, I really hoped he would be something different, that as a

New York Time. However, one of Trump’s aides took a photo of the two leaders to share on the president’s social media accounts.

Trump builds relationship with Japanese leadership.

Trump met with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe during the weekend at the White House and at Mar-ALago, the president’s estate in Jupiter, Florida.

The two leaders had a press conference Saturday night after reports that North Korea had fired its first ballistic test missile of the year.

Abe called the missile launch “absolutely intolerable,” according to CNN. Trump assured the Japanese prime minister the U.S. stands behind the country.

“The United State of America stands behind Japan, its great ally, 100 percent,” Trump said during the joint press conference.

Later that weekend, Trump and Abe were spotted playing golf on one of Trump’s private courses. The media was not allowed to take photos,according to the

Travel ban update Three thousand people from the seven previously banned countries entered the U.S. from Feb. 4 to Feb. 6.

A federal appeals court ruled Thursday the travel ban will continue to be blocked after another court had raised concerns about the ban’s constitutionality.

The 3,000 number does not include lawful permanent residents because they are not within the scope of Trump’s executive order, DHS spokeswoman Gillian Christensen told CNN. The White House announced Friday that they will not immediately appeal the decision to the Supreme Court and are working on “possible tweaks” to the executive order, according to CNN. The President is currently examining options to save the ban. He is expected to introduce the changes next week.

Trump vows to keep wall costs down Trump promised in two tweets Saturday to keep the cost of the proposed U.S.Mexico border wall down.

The first tweet read, “I am reading that the great border WALL will cost more than the government originally thought, but I have not gotten involved in the.....” "...design or negotiations yet. When I do, just like with the F-35 FighterJet or the Air Force One Program, price will come WAY DOWN!” Trump said in the second tweet.

Trump has not released a specific plan for the wall.

During his campaign he said the wall would cost about $10 billion, according to the National Precast Concrete Association.

However, Bernstein Research said the wall will more likely cost somewhere between $15 and $25 billion, including labor and the estimated necessary $711 million worth of concrete and $240 million worth of cement, according to The Economist.

most southern bounds of the city.

Bloomington Common Council member Stephen Volan spoke at the rally to express his support of the development of a new recycling center. Volan, a member of the Solid Waste Management District board of directors, said the BIRC was a group the public could trust to help start a new center.

“These people know what they’re doing,” Volan said.

“I’ve seen the numbers, I’ve seen them in action, and I can vouch for how well they’re doing.”

Volan suggested various parking lots, such as the lot at Second and Rogers streets across from the IU Health hospital, or for the group to have a temporary spot set up while it searches for a more permanent place.

Bloomington resident Kelly Saunders came to the rally in order to see what BIRC would propose or envisioned for a new center. She said the Walnut Street location is too far to take her recycling, and her home in Trail View Neighborhood does not have curbside pickup options.

BIRC members said they may need to coordinate with zoning regulations or subjected to move again in the future if the city continues to use properties for development projects, but that the having any recycling center was better than none.

“A vibrant downtown can be a responsible downtown,” Alford said.

An investigation is underway after a woman visiting Bloomington from abroad reported her assistant, a 28-year-old Ethiopian woman, had gone missing.

Police received the report at about 11:50 a.m. Saturday from the employer, whose nationality was not listed in the police report, Bloomington Police Department Sgt. Cody Forston said. She told police she and the missing assistant had come to the United States to visit family in Bloomington and were hoping to obtain travel visas while here.

The woman was last seen between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.

Friday at her employer’s

family’s home on South Ira Street. All of her belongings are gone. Forston said police are not yet releasing the woman’s name.

The employer also noted that during a layover in Washington, D.C., the assistant met several men who were also traveling from Ethiopia and struck up a conversation with them, Forston said. The woman remained in contact with the men via text after they departed, and the employer suggested they may have something to do with her going missing.

Forston said the investigation is ongoing and likely to be assigned Monday to a specific detective.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 you, you couldn’t help but be happy,” he said.

When Sherrell received the news that Djiby had died, he cried. Then he decided to make a virtual memorial on Twitter. It features a picture of a chair Djiby was famous for sitting in and had 132 likes and 38 other tweets about it at the time of publication.

He said that is when he felt the magnitude of Djiby’s effect on people.

Some of the response tweets include: Crazy to think Djiby has passed. He was literally one of the best parts of IU. Always able to give you day joy. True embodiment of a Hoosier QUAD @ IU @Hoosiers_QUAD Djiby made hundreds of students just a little bit happier each day. All that happiness adds up.

Sam Beishuizen @Sam_Beishuizen I’m gonna miss talking to him in french and hearing about his day :/ sad PTA mom @mayawilferness Sherrell said he wanted there to be a collection of the way people spoke of Djiby.

When Sherrell first came up with the idea to create a comedy major, Djiby was one of the first people he told.

“Well go do it, man,” Sherrell said Djiby said at the time. “Follow your dreams.”

Sherrell’s voice paused for a few moments.

“Damn,” he said. “This man was amazing. I really can’t believe he’s gone. He gave me courage in a place I didn’t think I would have it.”

At the fountain, Solomon stood above the crowd and passed out the rest of the candles.

After a few minutes, he approached the front of the vigil. He spoke in a soft voice over the crowd.

“We’re here to remember the life and work of Djiby,” Solomon said. “If you have a story or something you’d like to share; I invite

you to come share.”

It was about a minute before they started approaching the front.

“The last time he gave me a hug…” one person began to say, but her voice started to fail her. “I didn’t think it would be the last time.”

Her speech was one of dozens, as others came up to share their memories about the c-store cashier.

“He personally went out of his way to make everyone here feel at home,” someone said. “He was more than a cashier. He was a family member to all of us.”

“My heart is most sad for the people who didn’t get to meet him,” another said.

“I honestly do not think I would have graduated if I couldn’t have gone in to see Djiby three times a week,” another person said.

“I’m going to remember Djiby until the day I die,” someone else said when they spoke to the crowd.

“My only regret is that I didn’t stand there just a little bit longer and hold the line just a little bit more,” someone else said.

Some people in the crowd were crying. Two women with no umbrella stood with their arms around each other, one wiping tears from the eyes of the other.

Whenever someone would quote Djiby in their speech, mimicking his thick accent, the crowd would laugh.

Solomon approached the front again.

“He showed me what it means to be a generous person,” he said.

He said he would stay until the last person left, but if people wanted to leave, they could do so quietly.

The crowd quickly dispersed until it was only Solomon, a small circle of people and some television cameras.

Pretty soon the cameras left, and the small group counted to three and blew out their candles.

Solomon carried his bike down the steps from the fountain, wiped off the seat and stood for 15 seconds. He was completely still. The rain, which had slowed during the vigil, began to pick back up. He pulled up his hood and rode away.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 only one statistic that matters, and it is turnovers. The turnover-prone Hoosiers coughed up the ball 15 times leading to 20 Wolverine points. For the second time this year, Michigan dismantled IU by executing off mistakes leading to the Wolverine’s first road win of the year, 75-63, at Assembly Hall. The loss dropped IU to 15-11 overall and 5-8 in conference.

“We’ve got to find ways to get easy baskets,” IU Coach Tom Crean said. “So the problem becomes we were working so hard to get the ball inside in the first half and they were backing off of our guys, right? All of a sudden we get it in, and now we stand like we’ve never played basketball before.”

The last time these two teams got together in late January, Michigan turned 16 IU turnovers into 28 points in a 30-point blowout. Sunday’s game saw much of the same.

Although the defense had improved for the Hoosiers, holding the Wolverines to 47 percent from the field compared to 63 percent last game, the offense was stagnant.

IU found success when it got the ball down low and established a presence in the low post. The Hoosiers scored 66 percent of their points in the paint, although the majority of the time it took them until 10 seconds left on the shot clock to get the ball inside the 3-point arc.

IU Coach Tom Crean disputes a call in the game against Michigan on Sunday afternoon. The Hoosiers lost to the Wolverines, 75-63.

Davis finished with a teamhigh 13 points on four-of-five shooting from the field. When Davis wasn’t making his shots inside, he was executing at the free throw line, where he made five of six. He said Crean stresses getting the ball inside first so IU can work both aspects of its offense.

“We try to take inside-out 3s. Whether it’s feeding the post and getting a kick out, you know we have a bunch of bigs that like to pass the ball,” Davis said. “Or if you drive and kick you know the guards drive to the lane and kick out.”

The problem was IU didn’t do much driving and kicking.

When the Hoosiers finally did get the ball inside, it was too late in the shot clock to make a play happen.

Crean said his team being static when getting into Adderly play. I thought, ‘Golly, wouldn’t it be nice to visit all these places like he does?’ Somehow I got kind of lucky.”

The 73-year-old maintains an active touring schedule today. With the WDR Big Band, he plans to make stops in New York City, Chicago and Munich this spring.

Throughout the night, WDR keyboardist Frank Chastenier and trombonist Andy Hunter segued into solo sections. After long spans of hard-hitting drums and pyrotechnical guitar riffs, the two hit a softer and more intimate note.

At times Parker moved about the stage in a dreamlike trance, visibly swayed

its offensive sets and the lack of leadership were two main reasons for the turnover problems Sunday.

“Thomas Bryant is playing his tail off to become a leader of the team, and he needs a little more help,” Crean said.

“It is part of what our issue is with the turnovers, and he’s committing some turnovers and things like that as well, and again our ball screen coverages and things like that weren’t nearly as good, but at some point in time the window’s gotta crack, and we’re going to have a little bit real leadership during the game, and at some point in time we’re going to communicate.”

IU has now lost five of its last six games with the only win coming in triple overtime against Penn State. The turnover issues stem from a lack by these solos. His signature move — a robotic shuffle and spin — evoked the P-Funk era.

BCT executive director Danielle McClellan said she had always been fascinated by Parker’s style.

“When I first heard him blow the horn the way he does, I wanted to know more,” McClellan said.

Parker, a native of Kinston, North Carolina, was previously inducted into North Carolina Music Hall of Fame. In 2012 he was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award from Les Victoires du Jazz in Paris.

“It’s all about love,” Parker said of his career.

“Love is not rocket science.

It comes from the heart.”

of communication and leadership. Sunday’s game was the 13th time IU turned the ball over 15 or more times in a game this season.

Players-only meetings have become a trend around the nation when a team struggles to a large degree to figure out how the group can overcome issues. Having the meeting might be the solution to the Hoosiers’ struggles, but according to Johnson, it hasn’t happened yet.

“I just think at the end of the day we just have to all come together in whatever it takes,” Johnson said. “If that’s what it takes, maybe that’s something we should think about, but at the end of the day we just all have to come together and decide that we’re going to get better once and for all.”

SHUT DOWN Hoosiers use historic defensive performance to win second consecutive Big Ten game

By Jake Thomer jjthomer@indiana.edu | @jake_the_thomer

With the way IU women’s basketball played defense Saturday afternoon, it was no surprise the Hoosiers allowed their fewest points in a Big Ten game in more than 30 years.

Last time IU met up with Northwestern in January, the Wildcats scored with relative ease in an 80-67 loss for the Hoosiers. This time around, there would be no high-scoring shoot out, and IU held its opponent to 32-percent shooting and forced 16 turnovers.

The Hoosiers came out focused and aggressive on both ends of the court and built a solid halftime lead before blowing by the Wildcats in the second half for a 66-38 win.

IU moved to 7-5 in Big Ten play with the win and jumped 6-5 Northwestern in the standings.

The 38 points allowed by IU on Saturday were the fewest in a Big Ten game in program history since giving up 37 in a win at Wisconsin in February 1986.

“I just thought defensively we came out really understanding what we were trying to take away from Northwestern,” Moren said. “Any time you put a scouting report together, you always hope your team can follow through with that game plan.”

That game plan for IU centered around locking down Northwestern senior forward Nia Coffey, who entered the game averaging 19 points and 11.1 rebounds per game. In the January contest, Coffey hung 14 points and 14 rebounds on IU, but on Saturday she scored just nine points on 3-of-13 shooting.

Senior center Jenn Anderson was a key piece of the all-around team effort that she said it took to contain Coffey, a three-time AllBig Ten player. Coffey had five turnovers and missed all three 3-pointers she took.

At six-foot-one, Coffey presents a quandary for defenses. She can be too quick and athletic for post players to defend and too tall for guards.

Anderson credited each Hoosier who played for stepping up to do their part in guarding Coffey.

“I think we did an excellent job on Coffey,” Anderson said. “I mean, we were

66-38 switching so eeven guards were guarding her and she was still having a tough time, which made every shot tou tough. That’s what we needed.”

Through two tw quarters, neither team had much of a flow on o offense. At halftime, IU led by just nine, and both bot teams were shooting 30 percent or worse. After Afte the break, junior forward Amanda that saw IU outscore NorthCahill led a charge c western 24-11 in the third quarter and 40-21 in the second half. ha Cahill faile failed to score in the opening half but in the third quarter and finscored nine points p ished the game gam with 11 points to go along with rebounds and a team-high six assists. eight rebound Moren sai said the way Cahill was able to conother aspects of the game when her tribute in oth shot wasn’t ffalling showed her importance to When the second half began, Cahill hit the team.

IU drops essential game to Michigan

By Andrew Hussey aphussey@indiana.edu @thehussnetwork

IU’s season began on a high note with a four-point victory in November against then-No. 2 Kansas in Hawaii.

A few months later, the Hoosiers have found themselves fighting for their NCAA Tournament lives.

In what could be the most important game of its season, IU did not lead for a single second, and it fell to Michigan 75-63 on Sunday at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.

After taking both Wisconsin and Purdue to the brink in the past week but faltering late in each game, IU allowed Michigan to control the entire game.

Without sophomore forward OG Anunoby, IU has dropped five of seven games and its season has gone into a tailspin.

IU Coach Tom Crean talked about how immaturity and the lack of consistent leadership this season has

hurt IU without Anunoby on the court.

“We don’t play both ends of the floor with the same purpose that we have to play when our shots aren’t going,” Crean said. “And we’ve had injuries in there, too, but that’s got to change.”

With IU’s season dangling by a thread, junior guards Rob Johnson and James Blackmon Jr. combined to shoot four-of-14 against Michigan.

Johnson said he knows every one of IU’s guards need to step up and become better leaders.

“I just think a lack of consistency,” Johnson said of the recent troubles. “Like I said earlier, it all falls on the upperclassmen — me, James and the guys that have been here. We have to come with a consistent level of effort.”

Since Anunoby went down, IU has not been able to put together a consistent effort on both ends of the court.

Michigan won the first

75-63 Related Content, page 1 Turnovers were a big problem for the Hoosiers in their loss to Michigan matchup between these two teams by 30 points back in January. Though Sunday’s game wasn’t as much of a blowout, it was still hardly in doubt.

Michigan never let IU cut the deficit to less than six in the second half, due in large part to several timely offensive bursts in response to small runs by IU. Coming into the game, Crean said Michigan’s senior point guard Derrick Walton Jr. was playing with confidence.

That confidence was on full display as Walton eviscerated IU’s defense. He scored 25 points to go along with four assists. Walton shot SEE IUBB, PAGE 12

Junior guard Josh Newkirk chucked the ball from a few steps in front of half court.

He missed. The first half ended on that shot, with the Hoosiers trailing 35-25.

A 10-point deficit at home against a subpar Michigan team that hasn’t won a true road game all season had transformed Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall into Simon Skjodt Library. The crowd, students and season-ticket holders alike, sat down unenthused and, rightfully, a bit ticked off.

Then came the Firecrackers.

Composed of 4th- to 8thgrade girls, this stellar jump rope team’s performance took Assembly Hall by storm.

After a routine that included a human jump rope and many other unbelievable stunts, the crowd gave the group a standing ovation. Even the press box, where cheers and jeers are supposed to be kept to a minimum, had its share of hoots and hollers.

Just a few minutes later, IU made its way back onto the court with the 20 most important minutes of the season about to begin.

Twelve seconds into the second half, junior guard James Blackmon Jr. took a 3-pointer. He did not score in the first half.

The shot from behind the arc was a brick, clanging against the rim.

The Wolverines grabbed the rebound and made their way down the court. The crowd was a little bit quieter than they were just a few moments earlier. * * * That was bad.

There are many ways we can analyze that game.

We can break down the

statistics, look at where the shots were taken on the floor and read the box score ad nauseum to try to find the key to the Hoosiers’ downfall.

However, the only stat we need is the big one. IU lost again. After the 19:13 in the first half mark when Derrick Walton Jr. hit a 3-pointer, the Hoosiers never led during the game. Not for one second.

They fought, scrapped, cut the Michigan lead to six multiple times, but the combination of IU missed shots and Michigan easy buckets created a 40-minute game that felt like a preordained loss from the get-go.

The only positive for the offense was freshman center De’Ron Davis, who went 80 percent from the field and scored 13 points in 14 minutes.

Other than Davis, the team was putrid offensively.

One of the major contributors to this squad’s lack of offensive success is its inability to set a screen. It’s a basic motion of hitting the defender on a pick to free up the ball-handler, but the Hoosier big men habitually fail to make contact. With the defenders free of the fear of being hit, playing defense against IU is almost too easy.

Turnovers, the seasonlong Achilles’ heel of this team, devastated IU once again. The Hoosiers lost the ball or threw it out of bounds or committed a foul or had a shot-clock violation 15 times. These 15 possessions led to 20 points for Michigan and were a key factor in the Wolverines’ easy shots.

As the season began and IU started their sloppy ways, there were plenty of justifications and explanations.

They’re building a new offense. The young guys need to get their feet wet. Newkirk needs to become more acclimated to being a starter. It’s early in the season. We’re just a few games in.

Excuse after excuse has been made to try to explain the turnover problem, but there doesn’t seem to be a focus on fixing it. Even during the wins, this team has an inability to hold onto the ball. This isn’t just on the ball-handlers; this is an institutional blunder, from the top down.

With fewer than four minutes left in the game, Crean mimicked the Hoosiers’ shoddy play by taking a tumble himself. After nailing a three, Michigan’s Moritz Wagner attempted to avoid a ref and bowled over the IU head coach instead.

Crean hit the deck hard.

It was almost too perfect of a parallel, and an exact microcosm of IU’s play since the Big Ten schedule began.

Perhaps the most perplexing part of watching this IU team, especially after last year’s Big Ten resurgence, is the inability to do the little things. Along with turnovers, IU constantly makes the same mistakes as if it forgot it made them just a few moments earlier.

The one defensive lapse that stands out routinely is the stunning incompetence against the pick-and-pop offense that Michigan used to perfection. The guards and big men repeatedly kept their mouths shut and never communicated.

Instead of switching or staying with their individual man, the player with the ball would consistently get double teamed, leading to an uncontested look from the screen-setter. The Hoosiers had no answer for this on Sunday.

On the other side of the ball, IU continued its season-long streak of being unable to break out of an isolation-style “offense.”

Annual concert benefits Middle Way House

By Sanya Ali siali@indiana.edu | @siali13

The Buskirk-Chumley Theater will welcome a performance and fundraising experience full of fun and food the evening before Valentine’s Day. “Love Songs for a Lasting World” will return this year for its second annual show, with doors opening at 7 p.m.

Monday at Buskirk-Chumley Theater. All proceeds from the event will benefit Bloomington’s Middle Way House.

Malcolm Dalglish is the director of Ooolation Inc., a group dedicated to combining love of the outdoors with love of song. Dalglish and his Ooolite singers will perform alongside friends during the benefit.

“This event brings out the Bloomington I love — a town where design, art and music bring people together to enjoy diversity and support social services like Middle Way House,” Dalglish said. “We live in a town that heals.”

Rachael Himsel, in charge of events and communications for Middle Way House, volunteered with the event last year but said she looks forward to better weather this year.

The event falls in line

LOVE SONGS FOR A LASTING WORLD 6 p.m. Monday with many of Middle Way House’s goals, including but not limited to support for victims of domestic violence.

Middle Way House also provides legal advocacy, daycare and youth programs, and many other services.

The event is an opportunity to support a great local cause as well as spread a message of hope throughout Bloomington, Dalglish said.

“Affection for our town, our family, our sweethearts and our elders who’ve gone on — it’s all there,” Dalglish said. “We should come out to celebrate this love in a way that supports those who have been betrayed by it, the survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault.

Middle Way stands up and says, ‘Here’s this terribly wrong thing, and here’s how we can fix it.’ New lives are brought back into the world.

I think that is heroic.”

Dalglish, a musician and composer, said he grew up surrounded by music and instrumentation of all kinds and enjoys the process of performing from start to finish.

This event in particular merges music with the artistry of food. Muddy Fork Bakery will provide fresh apple pie for attendees to enjoy in a bonfire-style celebration after the concert Monday evening.

Himsel said the cross-section of the various arts helps people question how they can make a difference in the community.

“The arts have always

been used to convey not only personal feelings and journeys, but also to explore these questions we face as a community like how can we help each other out?”

Himsel said. “The main goal of this concert is to bring people together and remind us all that we are connected, that we have an obligation to help others when we can, as we can.”

Music brings people together across any and all

divisions, Dalglish said.

“Music is a language that crosses borders and brings people together across boundaries,” Dalglish said.

“It celebrates our common humanity as well as our differences in a patterned form that transcends. It’s a form of pleasure that requires no privilege.”

There is also symbolism within the pie being served during the event, as Himsel said friend Sonja Johnson

pointed out to her more than a decade ago.

“When we believe that there is enough pie for all of us — guess what — there will be,” Himsel said. “So this event, where Muddy Fork Bakery is baking and serving up a ton of apple pie to all the audience members and donating their time. All the food is a reminder that we can share with each other, that there is enough pie for all of us.”

Alejandro Gómez-Guillén conducts the Bloomington Symphony Orchestra, which will perform a show called “Scene Change: Music of Latin America” this March. The show is aimed at showing the diversity within Latin American music.

Latin American music celebrated

By Sanya Ali siali@indiana.edu | @siali13

Fans of symphony orchestra will learn about the diversity within the world of music with an upcoming performance at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater.

The Bloomington Symphony Orchestra will stage a show March 4 in collaboration with IU’s Latin American Music Center.

“Scene Change: Music of Latin America” looks to redefine ideas surrounding Latin American music.

Donna Lafferty, executive director of the Bloomington Symphony

Orchestra, said the idea stemmed from BSO violinist Christine Wisch’s involvement in the Latin American Music Center.

“They have some music in their library that they have the only copy of in existence,” Lafferty said.

“One of the pieces is called ‘Ash Wednesday,’ by a composer named Juan Orrego–Salas. It was a piece he wrote in the 1980’s, dedicated to his son, a conductor.”

There have been a few attempts made to premiere this piece, but it has yet to be performed on a massive stage, Lafferty said.

BSO will play “Ash Wednesday” at the March 4 concert alongside another piece, ”Introduccion y Allegro,” by Orrego-Salas, as well as the work of many other composers.

“We’re also doing a little thing in the lobby before the concert and during intermission where the Latin American Music Center is going to bring instruments we’re not familiar with and let audience members try those out,” Lafferty said.

The goals of the show are to show that Latin American music goes beyond the bounds of salsa and mariachi, said Alejandro Gómez-

SCENE CHANGE: MUSIC OF LATIN AMERICA 7:30 p.m. March 4 Guillén, artistic director and conductor of the BSO, in a news release.

“We’re playing stuff by composers who are not household names here but are in the Latin American tradition,” Lafferty said.

“Our conductor growing up with his music is very cool — this is his first season with us — and the fact that this collaboration came up in his premiere season is pretty cool. Alejandro grew up listening to this composer.”

WEEK IN FASHION

Israeli stylist widens international fashion focus Israeli fashion stylist and blogger Liraz Cohen came to the Helene G. Simon Hillel Center this week to deliver a lecture about contemporary Israeli fashion.

Cohen studied at Hebrew University of Jerusalem and is pursuing a master’s degree in global fashion management at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City.

Cohen brought an array of garments with her, which added to the overall interactive experience of her presentation.

Before she started traveling and giving talks, she ran the training department at Zara Israel. She was also the director of Israel programming at Duke University Hillel.

Cohen’s program focuses on the history and evolution of Israeli fashion. Key points she covers are how Israeli fashion has changed since the country’s inception in 1948 and the possibilities for the future and how it has grown and changed throughout the years.

“I am trying to look at the culture of Israel and find trends and movements and find Israel’s identity,” Cohen

said.

When asked why she travels around giving these lectures, Cohen said, “I built this lecture for students because I wanted to show Israel in a different light besides politics and conflicts.”

Cohen pinpoints the two main problems in defining Israeli fashion. First, the country was established only in 1948, so there was a lapse in fashion and culture for 2000 years.

Second, the new immigrants in Israel are from diverse backgrounds, coming from Russia, Turkey and Yemen.

This diversity was an issue because these new immigrants all saw fashion differently and were bringing different fashion influences with them to the new country of Israel.

During this time, there were essentially two distinct groups living in Israel. There were the Europeans living in Tel Aviv and living in the desert in the Kibbutz .

The people in Tel Aviv brought their fashion influences from Paris and Milan and had a very classic and elegant style of dress. Everyone

wore white gowns, gloves, and men wore all-white three-piece suits.

The people living in the Kibbutz believed they had a greater agenda, creating the foundations and infrastructure for the new country and focusing on agriculture. These people believed in community and sharing everything, and ultimately created a community closet where everyone brought their clothes to share.

This community closet was the foundation for feminism in Israel in 1909. This was because the women were joining the men in fields outside all day and found that their jobs were completed more easily in shorts and pants. Israel was the only place that women were wearing pants in the early 20th century, thus creating the idea of the “effortless look.”

She explains that the main problem with the new country was the rate of poverty. David Ben-Gurion, the president of Israel at the time, developed a point system for citizens to purchase not only food but also fabric and clothes.

Everyone was given 85

points for the year. Pants were worth 10 points, a winter coat was 42 points and socks were three points.

Due to the minimalist style that the point system developed, bucket hats became popular because they were cheap and easy to make because they are a combination of different fabrics.

The rise of military fashion and style influences from neighboring countries in Israel came as a result of the Six-Day War in 1967.

Cohen’s presentation was interesting and informative but also allowed for comparisons between fashion in Israel and the United States. Cohen explained the popularity and trendiness of the color blue at one point in time in Israel, and the obsession over jeans and denim. We see this as well in the United States through the rise of denim in the ’90s and the return of denim that we have seen this year. sbunes@indiana.edu @sambunesIDS

Though sometimes thought of as synonyms, “empathy” and “sympathy” have very different definitions.

Sympathy: to feel compassion, sorrow or pity for the hardships another encounters.

When we see or hear about the growing numbers of refugees in countries all over the world, a lot of the time we’ll just shake our heads and remark on how tragic it is. Then we’ll move on with our day. We’ll go to class or out to eat with our friends. We put it out of our minds.

Empathy: is to put oneself in the shoes of another.

We never really experience empathy until we force ourselves to experience or hear about someone’s problems.

We typically try to avoid doing that.

Pablo Arenas Gallo, a junior studying psychology at IU, is studying in Milan, Italy this semester.

He is spending much of his time interning with a clinic that helps refugees and homeless people.

The clinic, Opera San Francesco per i Poveri, has everything from psychologists, psychiatrists, general doctors and even dentists.

He said the clinic is meant for people who don’t have any documents and can’t get help anywhere else in Milan. He spends his time with the psychologists.

While the clinic is not just for refugees, hearing Gallo talk about it made me think about the trauma the refugees experience around the world and how the world is pretty much rejecting them. Refugees often come into a new place with no knowledge of the language or people.

There is never much talk about what happens to these refugees emotionally and mentally after they have arrived in their new country.

When Gallo was telling me of the hysteria in the voices of the people who came into his internship, looking for someone to talk to, someone to help them, all I could think about was how I had never really thought about the mental exhaustion that refugees go through.

The most recent information I was able to find on mental health issues among refugees was a case in Utah from last year, sourced from Reuters. The study said 27 percent of the total arriving refugee population had symptoms of mental health

conditions. Ten percent had symptoms of anxiety, nine percent of depression and 25 percent showed symptoms of having suffered torture and violence.

There is so much more talk on the struggle for them to find jobs, homes and surviving in a physical sense.

When looking at Italy, a country with little to no border control of its coastlines, this is something that needs to be discussed. Italy has had a new record incoming refugee waves since 2010, the number peaking in the last year.

This has been frustrating for Italians. The whole European Union has been in a frenzy trying to figure out how much more control these borders need and how they can still accept any refugees while not overcrowding.

Many refugees were brought to Sicily, Rome and Milan in early summer 2016.

It doesn’t seem like anyone really knows the line.

But there is something to be said about how we are still focusing so little on the mental health of these people who are so widely discussed. When we argue about how many each country lets in, who has good intentions, who deserves it, we’re not thinking about the effect of the mind.

These are important things, but let’s not forget these are people. The work these clinics do for a refugee’s mental health is just as important as the medical help they receive. It is just as important as a refugee getting a job when they get to their new country.

“It is so important because these people have gone through so much to get to Italy, leaving their family, friends, and home behind with the hope for a better life,” Gallo said.

Gallo has the opportunity to see up close what many people tend to shy away from and forget. He looks these people, some of whom are homeless, in the eye, some refugees who are struggling to make it and just need someone to talk to.

He said he will sometimes translate between his bosses and the people they meet.

Places like the center in Milan are a step in the right direction. haask@umail.iu.edu

Hoosiers peak at perfect time

Jackson secures win No. 100 in two-loss weekend

By Austin Ghirardelli aghirard@imail.iu.edu | @a_ghirardelli

The IU men’s track and field team found plenty of success during the weekend by winning a total of nine events in two different invitationals.

Most of the first-place finishes occurred at Gladstein Fieldhouse at the Hoosier Hills Invitational on Friday, and several IU jumpers competed and won events in Arkansas as well.

In the shot put at the Hoosier Hills Invitational, sophomores David Schall and Willie Morrison placed first and second. Schall got the better of Morrison en route to a personal record throw of 18.80 meters.

“That was a huge PR,” IU Coach Ron Helmer said.

“With over a foot better PR, I think that puts him at No. 16 in the country, which is pretty outstanding.”

Junior Andrew Miller won the weight throw with a distance of 20.10 meters after breaking the school record two weeks prior to the Hoosier Hills Invitational.

The Hoosiers had a pair of one-two finishes in both the 400-meter and 600-meter dashes. Sophomore Adam Wallace edged out senior Diquis Manley in the 600-meter with a time of 1:20.22, while sophomore Markevious Roach narrowly defeated freshman Caleb Ojennes in the 400-meter with a time of 48.72 seconds.

victories in the 4x400-meter relay and the distance medley relay. The Hoosiers added their final two wins for the weekend at the Tyson Invitational in Arkansas.

Junior Paul Galas won the high jump on a tie breaker with a jump of 2.12 meters, while sophomore Eric Bethea set a new PR and won the triple jump with a distance of 16.34 meters. Helmer said Bethea’s performance was the most impressive .

“I think the biggest thing of the weekend for us was Eric down in Arkansas,” Helmer said. “If he went to the national meet and was able to duplicate that, I’m guessing he could be in the top three or four with no problem.”

Helmer said Bethea is

among several others that have a strong chance to compete for points at the national championships. He said junior Daniel Kuhn and Morrison also have an opportunity to compete.

“The reason that Eric’s performance is such a big deal is that it gives us a good chance now,” Helmer said. “Next week we need to put a distance medley in the national meet and we will have four events that we have a chance to go in and score points in.”

The team will send a distance medley relay squad to South Bend, Indiana, this week for a chance to qualify for the national championships. The members selected to compete in this event were freshman Kyle Mau, junior Joe

IU dropped a pair of matches this weekend against No. 3 Iowa, 32-7, and No. 10 Illinois, 28-9. Despite the losses, 184-pound senior No. 6 Nate Jackson reached a milestone.

Against the Hawkeyes, the Hoosiers were able to secure two victories from Jackson and heavyweight sophomore Fletcher Miller during the IU’s senior night, which Jackson called crazy.

“Usually getting ready for dual meets is a lot less stressful,” Jackson said. “For some reason today was really stressful, and I think I was putting a lot of pressure on myself. It was a more emotional experience than I thought it was going to be.”

Jackson said he got a little emotional before the match and is grateful for everything the University Gym and the Hoosier wrestling program have done for him.

After the emotional spell, however, it was business on the mat. Jackson was slotted to wrestle No. 5 Sammy Brooks, but a late pull had Jackson wrestling Mitch Bowman.

Miller got his first win of the Big Ten season by defeating Steven Holloway 3-1 in dramatic fashion. With 10 seconds left, the match looked to be heading to overtime before Miller was able to secure a late takedown with three seconds left.

“It’s a good one to get here right at the end of the season,” Miller said. “Knowing I can make that next step and beat some of these guys I have had close matches with this year and hopefully I can knock a couple guys off at the Big Ten Tournament.”

Against Illinois, IU was able to pick up two more individual wins despite dropping the match 28-9.

Sophomore Cole Weaver picked up his ninth win of the season by pinning Mousa Jodeh in slightly more than four and a half minutes.

Jackson brought home the second victory of the night by defeating No. 12 Emery Parker 9-6.

Jackson scored four takedowns and an escape point en route to his win, and it moved him to 28-2 on the season, unbeaten in dual competition and his 100th win in a Hoosier singlet.

With one dual left, Miller said he knows the team is losing leadership from Jackson and the rest of the senior class but that leaves an opportunity open for him and others next season.

“It’s going to be tough in the room next year not having some of those guys,” Miller said. “It will be a tough loss but also a good opportunity for some of us to step up next year.”

“At the end of the day, our ball screen coverages were not nearly what they needed to be,” Crean said. “And we didn’t put enough pressure on the shooters.”

Michigan has one of the best three-point shooting attacks in the country and bombed away in the first half, making six threes.

“It makes no sense to be coming off the corners the way that we are with what we have out there,” Crean said. “That’s not what we do.

We guard the ball. We don’t over-help because it’s teams like Michigan that can shoot the ball so well.”

With IU’s offense faltering and its defense continuing to struggle, the team is headed on the road for four out of its next five to finish the season.

Crean said he wasn’t focused on anything beyond taking it one game at a time.

After the game, he said he was headed back to the drawing board.

“I’m not going to think much past today,” Crean said. “I appreciate the question but I’m kind of locked in what we have to do now. I can’t jump ahead.”

IU competes in final home meet of season

By Julia Briano jbriano@indiana.edu | @julia_bri

IU competed in its final home meet of the 2016-17 season this weekend. The Hoosiers showed up for the Hoosier Hills invitational and won 18 events between the men’s and women’s teams.

The women’s team had top performances on the track and in the field as well.

Coming off an injury earlier in the season, senior Nakel McClinton was able to take the win in the weight throw by clearing 18.94 meters. Shortly thereafter, teammate sophomore Nycia Ford won the shot put with a throw of 15.38 meters (50-5.5) and placed third in the weight throw. IU Coach Ron Helmer mentioned Ford as one of the best performances at the invitational.

“I think Nycia Ford, who won the shot put, had a really nice victory with that and was

able to improve her personal record,” Helmer said. “She had a really good weekend overall.”

Freshman Gracie Heeb finished as runner-up in the 60m hurdle finals. Heeb set a career-best mark of 8.79 in the finals.

Also on the track, the Hoosiers swept the 3,000m run.

Haley Harris led the race followed by freshman Katherine Free and then senior Chanli Mundy.

In the mile, another longdistance race, all three IU runners finished under the five-minute mark. Junior Corinne Cominator won the race with a time of 4:51.92.

In the sprinting events, junior Brittany Thomas was able to place first in two separate events, the 60-meter dash and 200-meter dash. Sophomore Maya Caudle was the 200-meter dash runner-up.

This upcoming weekend, IU will only send a small

group of runners to South Bend, Indiana, for the Alex Wilson Invitational at Notre Dame. Helmer said many athletes aren’t traveling this weekend in order to prepare for the Big Ten championship.

“We are definitely trying to rest the athletes going into the Big Ten meet and make sure they don’t get hurt,” Helmer said.

Coming up on the meet, Helmer said the team will stay consistent in practice and he is just expecting the athletes to give their best effort in both training and the important meets coming up.

“We aren’t making any big changes in the training cycle, we are just going to the athletes practice as hard as they can with what’s coming up,” Helmer said. “Us as coaches are just trying to stay on top of them so they can perform the best they can in the Big Ten championship and in the weeks to come.”

Michigan’s ball-movement, precise passing and cutting was a breath of fresh air when observing Indiana.

Going one-on-one is fine once in a while when a player is in a groove, but when the entire team is struggling from the field, a cut for a layup or open jumper would be nice.

This has been a predicament all year for the Hoosiers, and, 26 games into the season, it probably won’t change anytime soon.

Unlike every other home postgame press conference, Crean spoke to the media before the players did.

He entered in a rush and started to talk before his butt even hit the cushion-less seat of the white folding chair.

Fidgeting, he grabbed a packaged moist towelette from his pocket and attempted to open it while still speaking.

Eventually, he took off his glasses and began to clean them as he talked about the Hoosiers’ failures.

He moved the mic back and forth and then pushed forward the mini water bottle. He cut off multiple questions and answered the questions he wanted to answer, even if the response didn’t match the query.

When asked about the team’s turnover problem, Crean spoke about how the 3-point shooting difficulties

led to the defeat.

He had many reasons, from immaturity in the backcourt to injuries coming at the worst times to a lack of movement to a noticeable lack of leadership, to explain the loss.

At this point, however, there are no more alibis, and Crean’s squirming in front of the microphone shows that he agrees. This team isn’t a

tournament team. It’s just not good enough.

This team can scratch and claw during its five remaining regular season games and possible NIT contests, but at 15-11 overall and 5-8 in the Big Ten, the Hoosiers’ 2016-17 season is officially dead. gigottfr@indiana.edu @gott31
