‘Love, Lani’: Senior Noelani Edwards leaves messages of hope around campus

By Lauren McLaughlin lrmclaug@iu.edu ] @l_mclaughlin8

Editor’s Note: This story includes mention of sexual violence.

Positive messages began to appear consistently around IU’s campus in January. Some were handwritten on orange sticky notes, while others were printed on white paper. None had the same message, and not all were taped to the same location, but each note ended the same way: “Love, Lani.”

Lani, better known as senior psychology major Noelani Edwards, is on a mission to spread joy.

“My whole thing is spreading love and positivity,” Edwards said.

In spring 2021, that meant buying flowers at Kroger and handing them out to people near Dunn Meadow next to a sign that said, “Take a flower if you need a smile!!” This semester, it means leaving encouraging messages to students in various spots around campus.

Edwards left this message for students to find at Sample Gates a little over a week ago: “Be proud of yourself for getting through the moments that you never thought would end,” the message read. “And if you are going through that moment right now, be patient and kind to yourself. Each day will get a little easier and a little better, I promise.”

Each note includes her Instagram handle @love.lani. project, which has 72 follow-

‘Unearthed Archives: Retro Fit’ exhibition open through February Tory Basile vlbasile@iu.edu | @torybasilee

When visitors step into local artist Danny Bolton’s "Unearthed Archives: Retro Fit" exhibition, he wants them to feel overwhelmed.

Bolton said he covered the walls and ceiling in tape, installed a video game booth, and stapled and drew on walls to create an immersive exhibition space unlike many other white-walled galleries.

Bolton’s exhibition – a collection of his artwork dating back a decade – is free and open to the public every Friday and Saturday of February from 5-9 p.m.

Bolton, owner and operator of the Accrete Art Collective on Walnut Street, opened the gallery in October 2021. After checking out the former restaurant location with his boss, local realtor Chris Smith, Bolton asked when

Smith would let him turn the space into an art gallery – and Smith tossed him the keys.

Going forward, Bolton said he hopes to continue to create galleries in unoccupied spaces before they’re rented out again.

Since then, Bolton has curated two exhibitions showcasing almost 30 local artists’ work. This exhibition will be the first that solely features Bolton’s work. It combines years’ worth of his art, from a 7-by-8-foot painting to Post-it note doodles, Bolton said in his Instagram post advertising the exhibition.

Bolton said he’s enjoyed seeing the connections between his work over the years as he’s displayed it in the space. By curating work from his undergraduate career at University of North Texas

alongside his work today, he said it’s been interesting to see how he’s progressed.

His abstract work is about simplifying and deconstructing art, Bolton said. Using a combination of color, shape and texture, Bolton has burnt canvases with blow torches, or stretched colorful tape and paint across them to create art that is physically irreplicable. He’s fascinated with the act of deteriorating, he said.

“I've just always liked things that are grimy, things that are falling apart, things that nobody wants,” Bolton said.

Bolton said his postminimalist approach isn’t about looking inward.

Rather, Bolton said his work is just about art as an aesthetic object, without purpose or politics.

“Art for art’s sake is a really good way that I used

to talk about my work, because it doesn’t entirely mean anything,” Bolton said. “I feel like, at some point, art needs to divorce itself from making a statement. It should be an escape.”

For Accrete’s next steps, Bolton said the collective will move to a location on Second Street during April, May and June.

Local photographer Nikota Brault has worked closely with Bolton and said he’s helped her promote her social media and sell her artwork in the gallery. She said she appreciates Bolton’s work and finds his art intriguing.

“It just makes you kind of stand there and be sucked in by it,” Brault said.

“Jurassic Park” will be shown at the Musical Arts Center at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 18 and 19.

The film will be projected in HD and will feature the Jacobs School of Music Concert Orchestra conducted by Constantine Kitsopoulos. The orchestra will be performing composer John Williams’ score from the movie.

In the film, paleontologists Ellie Sattler and Alan Grant (played by Laura Dern and Sam Neill, respectively), alongside mathematician Ian Malcolm (played

ers as of Wednesday.

“I just wanted more people to see it,” Edwards said about starting the Instagram account. “Honestly, I just wanted at least one person to read the messages and make a positive impact.”

Edwards started leaving encouraging notes in Ballantine Hall last semester but said she wanted to be more consistent this semester, trying to put a positive message up at least three times a week.

In addition to the Sample Gates, Edwards has left notes near the bell tower, the IU Psychological and Brain Sciences building and other places on campus.

Edwards anonymously left a handful of the notes last semester. Now, she adds her name to create a more comfortable and personal experience for the reader.

“I want to be that emotional support to people that might not have it,” Edwards said.

Last week, Edwards started leaving resources on some of the notes, like the one on Sample Gates. Under her signature tagline, she included the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline and IU’s Counseling and Psychological Services crisis line so they are more accessible to people.

Edwards said she is a survivor of sexual assault and the idea for the notes came from her own healing journey.

dinosaurs escape and run rampant. The film is directed by Steven Spielberg.

The 1993 American science-fiction action film is based on the 1990 novel of the same name by Michael Crichton. The screenplay is by Chrichton and David Koepp.

“Jurassic Park” won more than twenty awards, including three Academy Awards, for its technical advancements in sound design and visual effects.

After its release in 1993, the film was followed by four commercially successful sequels, including “The Lost World: Jurassic Park,” “Jurassic Park III,” “Jurassic World” and “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.” A fifth sequel, “Jurassic World Dominion,” is scheduled for release this year.

Tickets start at $10 and $5 for students.

New name approved for Jordan extension

By Lauren McLaughlin lrmclaug@iu.edu | @l_mclaughlin8

The IU Board of Trustees voted Tuesday to rename the Jordan Avenue extension after the jazz legend and former IU professor David Baker. The extension will be renamed David Baker Avenue.

The decision comes over a week after the city-owned portion and parts of the university-owned portion of Jordan Avenue were officially renamed Eagleson Avenue after a historically prominent Black family in Bloomington. The university-owned extension is located between 17th Street and North Fee Lane.

“We’re not only able to right a wrong but to do so in a way that highlights one of the brightest stars in IU’s firmament,” Interim Provost and Executive Vice President John Applegate said of the proposal.

Baker, a Black man, worked at IU for over 40 years and was a distinguished professor of music and founding chair of the jazz studies program. He died in 2016. Baker was a Pulitzer Prize nominee and Grammy nominee.

“You look at this list of awards,” Applegate said.

“And you have to wonder whether Indiana University,

the state of Indiana, the jazz music world pretty much ran out of honors to award him, except for the one today.”

It is unclear when the name change will go into effect. Thomas Morrison, vice president for capital planning and facilities, said the change could be immediately implemented.

The board also approved the new Provost and Executive Vice President Rahul Shrivastav, who will enter his new role Feb. 15. The university named Shrivastav to the role in mid-December last year.

The board also approved a new graduate degree, a Master of Science in ballet. Like other degrees previously approved by the Board of Trustees, the degree requires approval from the Indiana Commission for Higher Education.

IU-Bloomington housing and dining rates will increase slightly, the largest increase being around 1%.

University treasurer Donald Lukes said this room and board increase is the lowest IU-Bloomington has implemented in at least a decade.

Lukes said the room and board increases are forecasted to remain near 1% for the Bloomington campus for the next two fiscal years.

Candidates start campaigning in 2022 IU Student Body President election

By Salome Cloteaux scclotea@iu.edu | @salome.c.3

Candidates for the 2022 IU student body president election started campaigning Feb. 9, after the deadline to submit declarations of candidacy passed Feb. 8.

Voting will begin March 1.

IU Student Government’s Election Commission ensures the election is a fair and equal process by planning the timeline of the election, making sure everyone is following the rules and reviewing complaints, Mary Stafford, co-chair of the IUSG Election Commission, said.

Stafford said she hopes voter engagement and involvement in student government increases this election and that more students will vote and give their input.

“I want to stress the importance of getting involved civically on campus, because it does affect you,” Stafford said. “A lot of people don’t feel like they have anything to contribute, but they really do, and we want to

hear from the student body about what they want IUSG to change.”

The last election with inperson campaigning was in 2019, IU Student Body Vice President Madeline Dederichs said.

Dederichs said she encourages candidates to spread their ideas by getting students involved in focus groups, buying merchandise such as T-shirts and buttons and creating a social media campaign.

“Student government isn’t necessarily about having to always speak on behalf of other people, but rather to be able to uplift their voices,” Dederichs said.

“Sticking to what you talk about with your campaign goals throughout your term is the best way to be successful.”

Dederichs said her favorite part of campaigning last year was creating authentic and genuine connections with many students across campus, listening to their ideas about student government and implementing those ideas into the admin-

istration.

Campaigning for student government is a public-facing experience, which can also be very challenging, Dederichs said.

“You have to be willing and able to put yourself out there and face criticism,” Dederichs said. “How you react to that criticism will share a lot about how you will serve in a leadership role.”

The 2021 election was marked by an unprecedented number of election complaints, including sending unsolicited mass text messages. This delayed the vote verification process and resulted in multiple IUSG Supreme Court hearings and the disqualification of the ticket receiving the most votes.

“After last year, everyone saw how stressful things can get during the election season,” Adenike Oladeinde, co-chair of the IUSG Election Commission, said.

“We have a campaign guide that shows everything that you’re supposed to do and what you’re not supposed

to do during the election, and if the candidates follow those rules, we’re not going to have a large problem like that.”

Oladeinde said she has faith in the candidates that there won’t be any significant violations or problems with the election this year.

“I’m really excited for the

election,” Oladeinde said. “I think it’s gonna be a good one.”

The Purdue campus is pictured. Purdue University’s police department placed officer Jon Selke on leave after he was accused of using excessive force on Feb. 4, according to the Purdue Exponent.

Purdue University’s police department placed officer Jon Selke on leave after he was accused of using excessive force following a viral video of him arresting Purdue junior Adonis Tuggle on Feb. 4, according to the Purdue Exponent. Purdue Student Government sent an email to students on Wednesday condemning Selke’s actions as police brutality and accused Selke of using excessive force.

“No matter the circumstance, none of us should ever have to undergo or see any of our peers experience the aggressive act of police brutality,” the email said.

New COVID-19 guidelines allow instructors to unmask

By Lauren McLaughlin lrmclaug@iu.edu | @l_mclaughlin8

IU instructors and presenters are not required to wear masks in classrooms as long as they are social distancing, according to new IU COVID-19 guidelines. Lecturers could unmask during the fall semester while social distancing, but the university reverted back to masking for everyone in the classroom at the beginning of this semester.

FILE PHOTO BY ETHAN LEVY | IDS “Instructors had sought Junior Corbin Dubois looks at his computer during a class on Oct. 21, this flexibility in the fall se2021, in Franklin Hall. Instructors and presenters can now unmask while mester, which we granted social distancing in the classroom.

until a surge of cases warranted what we indicated then was a time-limited change,” IU spokesperson Chuck Carney said in an email to the Indiana Daily Student.

Carney said this change applies to all IU campuses.

The university made the change because COVID-19 case numbers have dropped across campuses, he said.

About 95% of students are vaccinated at IU-Bloomington, and student masking will continue in classrooms unless they are presenting while social distancing.

In the video of the arrest taken by Tuggle’s girlfriend, Selke is seen on top of the student in a pile of snow, with the officer’s arm across Tuggle’s neck.

Police were originally called to the scene by someone who witnessed Tuggle and his girlfriend having an argument, Purdue Police Department spokesperson Capt. Song Kang said to the Purdue Exponent.

Tuggle’s girlfriend can be heard in the video yelling “Get off of him! Get off of him!”

Officers arrested Tuggle on charges of resisting arrest, according to the Purdue Exponent. Tuggle said he was not resisting arrest.

The history of Black History Month

By Amani Gates amagates@iu.edu | @amani_gates

The month of February is not just the shortest month of the year. It is also Black History Month.

Black History Month was established as a celebration of achievements made by African Americans, then and now. It is a time to recognize our role in society and U.S. history.

It all began with the Thirteenth Amendment in 1915, which abolished slavery.

In September of 1915, Carter G. Woodson and minister Jesse E. Moorland founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, which is now known as the Association for the Study of African American Life and History. This organization is dedicated to promoting and researching achievements made by African Americans and other people of African descent.

Woodson believed young African Americans weren’t being taught their heritage enough and wanted to do more. He decided to reach out to his fraternity, Omega Psi Phi, which created Negro History and Literature Week in 1924.

But he wanted something bigger.

In February 1926, he sent out a press release announcing the first Negro History Week. He chose it to be in February because both Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass’ birthdays are in this month. Both were prominent men whose

ILLUSTRATION BY JULIETTE ALBERT

historic achievements were already celebrated by Black people.

It wasn’t until 1976 when President Gerald Ford officially recognized February as Black History Month.

Ford said it was time for this country to “seize the opportunity to honor the toooften neglected accomplishments of Black Americans

in every area of endeavor throughout our history.”

Since then, every American president has kept the tradition of recognizing Black Americans’ impact in today’s society and has endorsed a theme.

This year’s theme is Black Health and Wellness, which seems fitting in today’s climate.

This theme acknowledges the legacy of Black scholars and practitioners in the field of medicine. It is broadening what Americans think of health and wellness.

It stresses the importance of our mental health and overcomes the stigma of mental health issues being a bad or unrealistic thing.

Black History Month

wasn’t made to try and single other races out. The history of the United States is celebrated all year long. It’s taught in the school systems and even has a symbolic day, the Fourth of July.

This month is a time to help keep our ancestors’ names alive and reflect on how Black people played a part in shaping society. It is a

time to celebrate how far we have come while acknowledging what still needs to be done in our community.

In the wise words of Carter G. Woodson, “If race has no history, it has no worthwhile tradition, it becomes a negligible factor in the thought of the world and it stands in danger of being exterminated.”

The former officer who killed Laquan McDonald is no longer in prison

The Civil Rights Act was passed on this day in 1964

ILLUSTRATION BY LAWREN ELDERKIN

By Cashmere Booker cabooker@iu.edu

Editor’s Note: This story includes mention of violence.

Jason Van Dyke, a former Chicago police officer, walked free last Thursday after serving nearly half his sentence for killing Black teenager Laquan McDonald.

On the evening of Oct. 20, 2014, 911 dispatchers responded to a call about an individual breaking into vehicles on the southwest side of Chicago. When officers arrived at the scene they followed McDonald, who was near the scene walking down the street.

McDonald refused to stop when officers told him to, and they called for backup. When Van Dyke arrived at the scene, he immediately shot at McDonald.

Van Dyke shot McDonald 16 times. Van Dyke’s bullets struck McDonald’s body multiple times even after he lay helpless on the ground.

An internal report was released in 2019 revealing several police officers gave false statements about the night of the shooting to distort the threat McDonald posed.

Originally, Van Dyke said McDonald was a threat and he was fearful for his life.

However, a video from a police cam showed McDonald walking away from police as he carried a pocket knife, seconds before Van Dyke fired his gun.

Prosecutors asked for Van Dyke to receive a prison term of at least 18 years, but Judge Vincent Gaughan sentenced him to a lenient sentence of six years and nine months for seconddegree murder.

According to the Chicago Criminal Lawyer, in Illinois aggravated battery is a Class X felony with a mandatory sentence of six to 30 years.

However, second-degree murder is a Class 1 felony and sentencing can range between four to 15 years in prison.

Van Dyke’s early release is granted under the Illinois rule which gives credit to prisoners for good behavior allowing years to be removed from their sentence.

The recent news has sparked protests and outrage.

A group of protesters peacefully gathered last Monday, outside the home of John Lausch, the U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, insisting he file federal civil rights charges against Van Dyke.

Additionally, Illinois democratic Senator Tammy Duckworth and Dick

Durbin, chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, wrote a letter to the Attorney General, Merrick B. Garland, asking for an update on the status of a federal investigation on the murder of Laquan McDonald that was announced in 2015.

“The facts of this case remain shocking and upsetting,” Duckworth and Durbin wrote in the conjoined letter.

The death of Laquan McDonald brought widespread scrutiny to the Chicago Police Department and the way they interacted with Black Chicago residents. Chicago officials announced an increase of officers wearing body cameras, but it is not a requirement.

Van Dyke was the first Chicago police officer in almost 50 years to be convicted for an on-duty murder. Many people, including Chicago community activist William Calloway, described to the New York Times how he was pleased that an officer was finally being held accountable.

“We finally held a police officer accountable,” Calloway said. “The justice system didn’t give him the punishment to match his crime, but a just verdict was rendered for murder, so it gave us a lot of hope to keep fighting.”

Editor’s Note: This story includes mention of violence.

The House of Representatives passed the Civil Rights Bill on Feb. 10, 1964, which was eventually renamed the Civil Rights Act. It was officially passed in the U.S. Congress on July 2, 1964.

The Civil Rights Act has played an incredibly important role in U.S. history, as it outlawed discrimination in public places and segregation as a whole. It marked a significant historical shift for Black people and the course of humanity overall. It was signed into law by former President Lyndon B. Johnson.

While this law marked a positive shift and change for the Black community, it was not an easy fight to win.

Since 1619, the fight for equality in the U.S. seemed impossible for Black people as enslavement took over their livelihoods.

Being in spaces where they were constantly treated inhumanely, Black people have always had to fight for our equal rights in society.

While slavery was abolished in 1865 with the Thirteenth Amendment former

President Abraham Lincoln, some might argue there is still a fight today to ensure slavery’s aftermath no longer exists.

Black people became citizens of the U.S. through the Fourteenth Amendment, and Black men were granted the right to vote through the Fifteenth Amendment.

During the late 1800s, it appeared Black people were trailing down a promising path of equality. However, this proved to be incorrect as Black Codes and Jim Crow laws were introduced to keep Black people from experiencing the freedoms they deserved.

Black Codes were laws created to reinforce the conditions of slavery for Black people. This meant Black people were forced to work hard jobs for no pay, or very little pay if they were lucky.

Aside from this, Jim Crow laws were essentially the backbone of the Black Codes and allowed for racism to continue in the U.S. The emergence of these laws, enforced and made legal by the U.S. government, constantly threatened the civil rights of Black people.

Some years later, in 1955, a young boy named Emmett Till was brutally lynched by

two white men in Mississippi. What made this particular case so monumental was Till’s mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, who decided to have an open-casket funeral to show the world what had been done to her son.

By Till-Mobley allowing people to see what happened to her son as a result of Jim Crow laws and the governmental enforcement of racism, civil rights for Black people would forever be changed.

The killing of Emmett Till has proven to be one of inciting events of the civil rights movement and forced people all over the world to truly see the evils of racism and hatred.

When thinking of the history of this country and where we are today, it is important to note we are not so far removed from some of the monumental events which have taken place.

The Civil Rights Act was passed just 58 years ago.

There are people still living who have been directly affected by segregation and Jim Crow laws. It should be made clear every living being is a result of history and what once was. It is now our responsibility to ensure history does not repeat itself.

A lot of sayings she comes up

Edward’s parents, Ingrid Najarro and Buddy Edwards, said they are both incredibly proud of their daughter. Najarro said Edwards didn’t talk to them about the project before starting.

“This was her deal,” Najarro said. “The messages that she’s putting out are messages of support that she wishes she saw when she was going through her really dark period before she shared with any of

us.”

Edwards said a couple friends she told about the project were really supportive, including IU junior and psychology major Sarah Fetter.

“I’m always amazed by her because she is one of the sweetest people I have ever met,” Fetter said. “She continuously wants to make other people happy, so to me it just made sense that she would want to do something like

that.”

Fetter said the notes make her feel hopeful.

Edwards said she has received feedback from both students and parents.

“I received one message from a parent,” Edwards said.

“She was saying that her daughter took a picture of it and sent it to her, and she was like, ‘This is exactly what I needed today, I was having a really bad day.’ And that’s all I want.”

man, a local photographer who’s exhibited work in Accrete, said the gallery provides something new and underrepresented in the Bloomington art community.

“Accrete has allowed a group of ragtag renegade artists who maybe haven't been a part of galleries before or exhibited their work previously to all come together and exhibit for the first time,” Rossman

said.

Rossman said the gallery is reminiscent of the 1980s experimental, grungy, New York East Village gallery scene that she grew up loving and wishes was still around.

Rossman said Bolton’s work is a gift to Bloomington.

“It's something you're never going to see from another gallery here in town,” Rossman said.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Having COVID-19 taught me to reflect

Jacobs’ sexual assault issues are systemic Editor’s Note: This story includes mentions of sexual violence.

ILLUSTRATION BY LAWREN ELDERKIN

Elizabeth Valadez (she/her) is a freshman studying English and political science.

The TikTok trend of people showing what they looked like before the COVID-19 pandemic versus what they look like now lives rent-free on my For You page. It’s a daily reality check that reminds me we’ve been enduring this thing for almost two years.

It’s also a reminder that, until two weeks ago, it’s almost been a year since my first COVID-19 infection in April 2021. I say first because I unfortunately caught it again, despite doing everything I was supposed to such as being vaccinated, wearing a mask in public and keeping my circle small.

Despite the stress and symptoms the infection caused, I took the forced down time to my advantage.

To better understand my rather positive and reflective reaction to my latest quarrel with COVID-19, I’ll give some background. I had a raging headache on Feb. 1, but I thought nothing of it because I worked at 8 a.m., had classes until 6 p.m. and I was extremely dehydrated.

Fast forward to Wednesday morning, I woke up with a sore throat and a stuffy nose. I didn’t go to my inperson class in fear of these symptoms being more than exhaustion. Then, the snow storm hit. I didn’t leave my dorm until Saturday, when on-campus testing opened

back up.

Five hours later, I received the email that I tested positive for COVID-19.

All of that explanation is to say my time away from the public felt, on one hand, lonely and confusing but, on the other, almost necessary. It seems odd to say that. I don’t want it in any way to seem like I am glad I caught the virus. I know my privilege and resources gave me an advantage in dealing with the mild illness I experienced, and I wholeheartedly acknowledge that.

But, because of that privilege, I was able to rest. I was able to literally just exist, lay in bed, sometimes mindlessly watch Netflix or listen to music. Of course, I attended

whatever classes were offered on Zoom, too.

While spending almost 10 days like this probably seems unproductive or wasteful to some, I argue that it was a necessary time of reflection for me. I realized how tired I was. I realized how much I had been going and going without second guessing any of it.

I definitely could’ve been more focused on my school work during my quarantine and could’ve tried to get ahead. But what’s the fun in that? And, more importantly, is getting ahead even a thing?

We can catch up and do the things on tomorrow’s todo list. Shoot, maybe we’ll even get a few days ahead.

But the reality is, no matter

what, life will always catch up to us. Maybe that’s a bit cynical, but it’s what my time with the virus really taught me.

This pandemic sucks.

There is no doubt about that, but we have to take at least one positive thing out of it if we can. Otherwise, we’d be utterly miserable. I know that searching for the light in the midst of the COVID-19 fog feels nearly impossible. But I promise it’s there. Rewatch the stunning halftime show.

Bake some cookies. Open the curtains to let a little sunshine in.

The pandemic has taken a lot from us, but we can’t let it take our spirit. elivalad@iu.edu

JARED’S JOURNAL

By any means necessary: learning from Malcolm X

CREATIVE COMMONS FILE PHOTO

A girl holds a banner Aug. 28, 1963, at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.

Jared Quigg (he/him) is a sophomore studying journalism and political science.

During a 1964 debate at Oxford University, Malcolm X said, as he often did, something deeply profound.

“To be or not to be… whether it (is) nobler in the mind of man to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune — moderation — or to take up arms against a sea of troubles and by opposing end them,” he said, alluding to Shakespeare’s “Hamlet.” “And I go for that. If you take up arms, you’ll end it, but if you sit around and wait for the one who’s in power to make up his mind that he should end it, you’ll be waiting a long time.”

What’s most interesting about this speech is that Malcolm X turns the character of Hamlet on his head.

Shakespeare’s Hamlet was contemplating suicide while Malcolm X’s Hamlet is a

revolutionary. We will suffer life’s slings and arrows no longer. We will take action.

I don’t think Malcolm X meant we should literally “take up arms.” During his life, he was constantly condemned as an advocate of violence when in actuality he was an advocate for selfdefense.

Malcolm X didn’t, however, share the mainstream civil rights movement’s Christian enthusiasm for “loving thy enemy.” He once said: “Stop sweet-talking (the white man). Tell him how you feel.... (Let him know that) if he’s not ready to clean his house up, he shouldn’t have a house. It should catch on fire and burn down.”

It’s quotes like these that have prevented Malcolm X from receiving the same whitewashed, revisionist rehabilitation to which Martin Luther King has been reduced. Malcolm X is still, long after his assassination,

a radical.

His approach to politics was abrasive and uncompromising. Even when audiences didn’t like what he had to say, he always spoke the truth. Watching his speeches and reading his words, I’m always struck by his boldness and his willingness to make people angry.

In several speeches, as he was welcoming everyone, Malcolm X would also welcome his “enemies.” The word enemy seems so rarely used in today’s political discourse, but Malcolm X used it often to describe his political opponents.

This is one of the many lessons young people who are engaged in politics should learn from Malcolm X. We must come to terms with the fact that some people are our enemies.

Liberals think they’re above having political enemies.

For example, they applaud the friendship between the late Supreme Court Justices

Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Antonin Scalia when they should be wincing.

We should also learn from Malcolm X’s insistence upon action rather than passivity and incrementalism. He often said the demand of his movement was freedom, justice and equality “by any means necessary.” If only young people today had that same spirit, instead of allowing the Black Lives Matter movement to devolve into black squares on social media and the likes of Mitt Romney to pose as an ally.

Malcolm X’s very name was radical — the “X” replaced what the Nation of Islam called “slave names” of Black people, the names given to enslaved people by their enslavers. Compare this with the timidness of today’s political actors who cringe at the bold ideas of our generation.

Young leftists say we are anti-capitalists — Malcolm

X himself called capitalists “bloodsuckers” and predicted capitalism wouldn’t last. We say we would like to defund the police and reallocate some of the resources given to them. We are willing to hold America accountable for its crimes past and present, just as Malcolm X did.

But the moderates are not. They constantly accuse us of utopianism and tell us the odds are against us.

There’s a Malcolm X quote for this, too: “The young generation don’t want to hear anything about ‘the odds are against us.’ What do we care about odds?”

We’ve tried the old way of compromising and “loving thy enemy.” But we must learn from Malcolm X that if we really want things to change in America, we must be willing to fight for that change — by any means necessary. jaquigg@iu.edu

The handling of the Chris Parker allegations would sow distrust of the university in the heart of any survivor of sexual abuse, as it certainly did mine. As a result, I cannot imagine that the abuse that happens behind closed doors — whether they be doors to dorm rooms, green rooms or professors’ offices — will ever be fully exposed.

However, the university and the Jacobs School of Music must now be held accountable for its continued support of Chris Parker, whose celebrated presence in Jacobs and the Bloomington music community played a large part in silencing me when I was a student at Jacobs, suffering from sexual abuse which traumatized me to the point of being unable to continue pursuing my musical career.

I had few allies at Jacobs to begin with. I was bound to be an outcast among my more privileged white male peers, and that isolation made all the difference.

If I was already unable to advocate for myself as a non-white, non-male musician, how could I have ever advocated for myself as a victim of sexual assault? This is how a culture of privilege and exclusion necessitates a culture of violence.

Violence is the tool with which oppressive systems are built and maintained, and one such way that men maintain their dominance over women is sexual assault.

I was obviously struggling when I was in school, more often than not falling behind in my academic and musical responsibilities. None of my professors ever asked me if I was okay. If someone had offered an open ear, I doubt I would have trusted any of them enough to speak up considering Parker’s close relationship with most of the jazz studies faculty, but at least I wouldn’t have such hard feelings about it now.

How can an abuser receive so many chances at pursuing an education, while survivors like myself drop out? Does the university actually concern itself with ending sexual assault, or does it seek to preserve its own reputation above all else?

It is a futile and heartbreaking endeavor to seek justice from the system under which a crime was committed against you.

Or, in the words of Fiona Apple, “Good morning, good morning, you raped me in the same bed your daughter was born in.”

My abuser has yet to suffer a single consequence for what he did to me, and in all likelihood he never will. I know my outlook may seem bleak to anyone just now opening their eyes to the truth. It’s not that I have no hope for justice — I’m simply seeking justice in organizing against the system. I know that through building community, the institutions which fail to protect us become obsolete. I write this condemnation with nothing but hope.

Healing is a communal act. I could never have done this without the support of my loved ones and other survivors I have met over the years, especially those I’ve met these past few months as we’ve rallied together for this cause. I wish all survivors peace, love, healing and the communal care you deserve, and hope my words serve to empower you in your pursuit.

In solidarity, Abby Malala

No. 5 Indiana falls to Nebraska Indiana goes 2-2 at the FAU First Pitch Classic

By Will Foley wtfoley@iu.edu | @foles24

KAMARON FARVER | IDS

Senior guard Grace Berger attempts to rebound the ball Dec. 9, 2021, at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. Indiana lost 72-55 against Nebraska on Feb. 14, 2022.

By Matt Sebree masebr@iu.edu | @mattsebree

In a rematch of their Jan. 13 meeting, Nebraska defeated No. 5 Indiana women’s basketball 72-55 on Monday in Lincoln, Nebraska. Indiana trailed throughout and was never able to meaningly threaten Nebraska’s lead after the first half.

In the first few minutes of the game, Indiana went on an 8-0 run, but Nebraska immediately responded with an 8-0 run of their own to take back the lead. Indiana kept the game close through the rest of the first quarter and into the second quarter, but another 8-0 run gave Nebraska the lead going into halftime.

The Hoosiers were never able to cut the deficit to one possession throughout the second half, which allowed the Cornhuskers to pull away and control the tempo late.

While Indiana performed well offensively in the first and third quarters,

it struggled to close out each half. The team scored only 8 points in both the second and fourth quarter, which Nebraska took advantage of to put the game away.

The Hoosiers struggled shooting the ball from all areas on the court. They shot 32% from the field, 9% from 3-point range and 54% from the free-throw line — marks all significantly lower than the team’s season averages.

“We had some good looks, they just didn’t go down,” head coach Teri Moren said. “Unfortunately you have those nights, but we really needed our defense to be great for us.”

Indiana is in the midst of a two-week stretch without much time off between games and, as a result, the players and coaches must manage fatigue to be prepared and well-rested for the grind of the Big Ten schedule. Berger said she believes the difficult scheduling will help Indiana later in the postseason.

Berger said the situation with condensed scheduling as a result of games which were rescheduled due to issues with COVID-19 protocols is similar to the nature of the Big Ten and NCAA tournaments, while Moren admitted that fatigue could have played a factor on Monday.

“Nobody is doing us any favors right now,” Moren said. “We’ve got another twoday prep and then Northwestern, and then a one-day prep for Iowa. So not the best-case scenario for us.”

Moren said she does not want to use exhaustion as an excuse for any losses, however, and she believes the Hoosiers should be able to win regardless of how little rest the players have had.

“We’re competitors, they’re young people, they should be able to do this every other night,” Moren said. “It’s not (like) the NBA schedule, but my feeling is that (if) they got 24 hours in between (games), they

should be ready to go.”

While Indiana as a whole struggled, senior guard Grace Berger again stood out. She was named Big Ten Player of the Week for her play last week and scored a game-high 20 points. Graduate student guard Nicole Cardaño-Hillary and senior forward Aleksa Gulbe were the only other Indiana players in double figures with 10 points apiece.

Monday’s loss drops Indiana’s record to 18-4 overall and 10-2 in conference play.

Despite the loss, Indiana is still the leader in the Big Ten standings going into the final stretch of the regular season.

“Disappointed for sure, but we have to lick our wounds quickly, get back home and get ready for Northwestern,” Moren said.

Indiana returns home for its next game, a matchup with Northwestern. The game tips off at 6 p.m. Thursday at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.

Indiana softball split four games to open up its 2022 season at the FAU First Pitch Classic over the weekend. Indiana beat Florida Atlantic, 11-1, and Bethune-Cookman, 3-1. It lost to Louisville, 9-5, and Northern Illinois, 11-1.

The opener against the University of Louisville presented many opportunities for Indiana, but the team fell 9-5.

The Cardinals opened the game with three runs in the top of the first, and the Hoosiers responded with two of their own in the bottom of the inning. Then the Hoosiers tied the game with an RBI from sophomore infielder Brooke Benson in the bottom of the second.

Louisville broke the game open with a run in the top of the third and later a grand slam in the top of the fifth. Indiana grasped a grand slam opportunity of their own in the bottom of the sixth inning but left three runners stranded.

“We had our chances to take the lead but missed several opportunities,” Indiana head coach Shonda Stanton said. “We fought hard and I was proud of the performance.”

Indiana came back stronger against Florida Atlantic in its second game Friday, winning 11-1.

Indiana junior utility player Cora Bassett, who transferred from Purdue in June 2021, crushed a home run to right field in the top of the first, starting a barrage of eight runs in the first two innings. Senior utility player Brittany Ford’s grand slam in the top of the second capped it off, marking her second home run of the day. Sophomore pitcher Macy Montgomery held the Owls to just two hits and one run to earn the win.

The win marked Stanton’s 100th win as Indiana’s head coach.

“It was a great offensive performance and a great response from the team,” Stanton said.

Indiana played Bethune-Cookman University in its first game Saturday, coming out with a gritty 3-1 victory. Freshman pitcher Brianna Copeland earned the victory in her first career start, pitching five innings and allowing no runs and only one hit. Bench production included an RBI from junior utility player Abby Meeks.

“I thought we did a good job defensively and got good bench production,” Stanton said.

Indiana lost its final game against Northern Illinois 14-3, as Indiana’s pitching was not able to control the Northern Illinois offense. Ford drove in another two runs and an RBI single came from freshman outfielder Kinsey Mitchell, but it wasn’t enough to make a dent in Northern Illinois’ scoring.

“It was a disappointing performance, but it’s only day two of the season,” Stanton said. “NIU did everything right, and we couldn’t, and we just didn’t show enough fight.”

The Hoosiers were scheduled to play the Huskies again on Sunday morning, but the game was canceled due to heavy rain.

Stanton said the team has a lot of adjustments to make before they take the field again.

“We have to learn to keep every play in the moment,” she said. “Our next opponents both have rich histories and know how to win, so we’ll need to figure out our lineups and our best chance of winning.”

Indiana will have a weekend off before traveling to Tallahassee, Florida, where the team will play in the Unconquered Invitational on Feb. 25-27. Indiana will have three matchups with Hofstra and two with No. 6 Florida State.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

COLUMN: Indiana got a taste of its own medicine against Nebraska

By Luke Christopher Norton lcnorton@iu.edu | @ByLCNorton

That was rough. Very rough.

Indiana women’s basketball fans are used to seeing performances like this, only they’re usually the ones cheering and jeering. Indiana is the stingy defensive team. Indiana is the team that frustrates opponents into cold spells.

But on Monday night’s 72-55 beatdown, it was all Nebraska.

The Hoosiers both scored and allowed 18 points in the first quarter. The good news?

No single Cornhusker player was going off against them, and the scoring was decently spread out. The bad news?

Well, read the first sentence

of this paragraph again: they were tied at the end of the quarter.

In that span, the Hoosiers had just two fewer rebounds than the Huskers and forced four turnovers while committing none of their own.

The dam burst in the second quarter.

Indiana was outscored 16-8, outrebounded 16-6 and committed three turnovers in those ensuing 10 minutes.

Nebraska found offensive production up and down its lineup, as no player scored more than 5 points in the second quarter.

The absence of junior forward Mackenzie Holmes — who has missed Indiana’s previous seven games with an undisclosed knee injury, was glaring as soon as

Nebraska freshman Alexis Markowski stepped onto the court.

Markowski, who can play forward or center, may as well have been a brick wall in the paint. She nearly outrebounded the Hoosiers herself in the second quarter, hauling in five.

Indiana couldn’t afford to pay too much attention to her on the offensive end either, lest it create openings on the perimeter. The Huskers, who shot 2-3 beyond the arc in the second quarter, were happy to take advantage.

Simply put, Nebraska thoroughly outplayed Indiana. The worst part of that reality? Indiana knew this was a tough defensive team going in. Nebraska allows its opponents to shoot just 37.1%

from the field on average, the lowest mark in the Big Ten. This didn’t come from some fluky performance from one player who had a good night and tore the Hoosiers up. It was a true team effort, one that Indiana is used to giving opponents fits with.

Mind you, it didn’t help that there was a veritable horde of Husker fans bearing down on them. Nebraska averages an attendance of 4,243 per game this season, good for third in the Big Ten. But there was a second half, and the Hoosiers had been here before. They rallied late for a win against Purdue on Jan. 16 in Mackey Arena. If any team could overcome this, surely it would be Indiana… right?

Well, much like the first,

the third quarter looked promising for Indiana. The Hoosiers outscored the Huskers 21-18 and out-rebounded them 12-9 in the span. The deficit for the visitors was just 5 points heading into the fourth quarter, and the game was fully in reach.

But the final quarter spelled doom.

Indiana scored 1 point off of a free throw from senior guard Grace Berger just 28 seconds into the fourth quarter. From there, the Hoosiers would go the next seven minutes without scoring, giving up 20 points to the Huskers in the process. None of the 12 shots the Hoosiers took after that Berger free-throw fell.

Ironically, Berger broke the drought herself, draining a 3-pointer with just under

two-and-a-half minutes remaining. But by then, Indiana was in a 21-point hole, and a comeback was nearly impossible.

The feeling of revenge from Indiana’s win on Jan. 13 at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall began to set in for the Huskers on the court and those in the stands. The Huskers, of a 7-6 record in the Big Ten, were mere minutes away from upsetting the newly-minted top team in the conference. Fans roared in triumph for foul calls and leapt to their feet to take in the moment.

Indiana was given a taste of its own medicine. It’s a bitter pill to swallow, and the feeling of what could’ve been will linger for the more than 600-mile trip back to Bloomington.

MEN’S TENNIS

Indiana goes winless in matches Indiana keeps positive mindset despite weekend losses

The Indiana men’s tennis team lost two matches this weekend by scores of 1-6 against East Tennessee State University on Friday and 0-4 against Middle Tennessee State University on Sunday.

The Hoosiers came out on Friday hoping to rebound from their first loss of the season, but the match against ETSU was nearly a carbon copy of their previous match against Princeton University.

The doubles point once again came down to the very last match, this time at the No. 2 spot. Indiana sopho-

more Ilya Tiraspolsky and junior Luka Vukovic went head-to-head against sophomore Dimitri Badra and freshman Francisco Lamas, but ultimately fell 5-7.

The No. 3 pairing of senior Patrick Fletchall and sophomore Jagger Saylor, who made his season debut Friday, also came up short in a close 4-6 match. Seniors Carson Haskins and Vikash Singh were the lone doubles victors for the Hoosiers after a convincing 6-1 win at the No. 1 spot.

Indiana head coach Jeremy Wurtzman said losing the doubles point, especially when the team came so close to securing it, negatively af-

fected the team’s mindset going into the singles matches.

The Hoosiers were not able to recover against ETSU, dropping five of the ensuing six singles matches. Vukovic notched the Hoosiers’ only point of the evening with an exciting 7-6 (7-4), 7-5 win at the No. 4 position against graduate student Hugo Lobo.

Still, the Buccaneers routed the Hoosiers at the No. 2, 3 and 6 singles spots to ensure their victory.

While Friday’s loss was disappointing, it was by no means a poor showing for Indiana. Those performances SEE TENNIS, PAGE 8

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6 paved the way for an encouraging outing on Sunday.

Indiana came into its match against MTSU knowing another tough opponent lied ahead. The Blue Raiders have three singles players ranked in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association top 150 and a doubles pairing ranked in the top 60.

The Hoosiers’ No. 2 doubles team of Fletchall and senior Mac Rogers, another player who made his season debut over the weekend, was tasked with facing the No. 44 pair in the country, seniors Pavel Motl and Stijn Slump.

Despite strong efforts, the Hoosiers lost by scores of 2-6 at both the No. 1 and No. 2 doubles spots, costing them the doubles point for the third match in a row. However, Wurtzman explained

compete with Ohio State.

The Hoosiers’ only win against the Buckeyes came from No. 10-ranked graduate student Brock Hudkins. He defeated Ohio State senior Dan Koontz with a takedown with two seconds remaining in the third period to secure that Friday’s match helped his team gear up for that exact situation.

“We were prepared because we lost the doubles point on Friday,” Wurtzman said. “We talked a lot about what we would do if that happens again, and we responded much better today.”

The Hoosiers did not let up during their singles matches, despite what the final score suggests. Tiraspolsky lost his No. 3 match 2-6, 4-6, while Vukovic challenged No. 106 graduate student Stepan Holis in a 2-6, 3-6 loss at the No. 4 singles position. The No. 1, 2, 5 and 6 matches were all extremely tight, but the early 0-3 deficit proved costly for the Hoosiers.

In one of the most thrilling matches of the season, Haskins fell to No. 30 Slump 4-6, 6-7 (3-7). Haskins put up a tremendous fight against one of the country’s top play-

the 5-3 victory.

Escobedo used a challenge for a potential takedown that would’ve sent Indiana junior Graham Rooks into overtime during the 149-pound match. However, the referees sided against Escobedo, and Rooks lost to

No. 2-ranked Ohio State junior Sammy Sasso 3-1.

Indiana junior Nick South lost to No. 7-ranked Ohio State senior Ethan Smith by a 18-6 decision. During the match, South suffered a knee injury. South’s knee appeared to be in poor con-

dition both during and after the match, and his status for Indiana’s next match against the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga is unknown.

Indiana junior Jacob Bullock had a collision with No. 13-ranked Ohio State senior Tate Orndorff, which sent

ers, and his loss was heartbreaking for multiple reasons.

Indiana fans wanted to see the No. 1-ranked Hoosier complete the comeback and bring

his team back into contention, but the loss sealed a victory for MTSU and stopped the remaining matches from being completed.

Fletchall was on course to defeat No. 82 senior Francisco Rocha in the No. 2 doubles match, but the match was stopped at 7-5, 4-6, 1-0.

Orndorff into concussion protocol. After being cleared to wrestle, Orndorff ultimately defeated Bullock via an 8-3 decision.

Indiana will host University of Tennessee at Chattanooga at 1 p.m. on Feb. 20 at Wilkinson Hall.

Singh and Saylor were in the midst of completing comebacks for Indiana with scores of 3-6, 6-4 and 5-7, 5-5, respectively.

Wurtzman said he was proud of how his team handled the match against MTSU, even if it resulted in a loss. He said the biggest positive Indiana can take away from the beginning of the season was the difference in its performance from Friday to Sunday.

“Our intensity, energy and team chemistry were much better today than on Friday, and we really never gave up,” Wurtzman said.

“Hopefully that can lead us into a good week of practice and good results next weekend.”

The Hoosiers will look to gain their fourth and fifth wins of the season against Butler University and Xavier University on Feb. 20 in Bloomington.

COLUMN: ‘The Tragedy of Macbeth’ is a refreshing rendition

MOVIE STILLS DATABASE

A still from “The Tragedy of Macbeth” is pictured. This film stars Denzel Washington.

By Erin Stafford

ages to emulate the set changes with impressive camerawork, making audiences feel like they are watching a play rather than movie.

The film features Hollywood veterans Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand as Macbeth and Lady Macbeth — a Scottish lord and his lady both drenched in dangerous ambition after three witches reveal that Macbeth will reign as king someday.

Wracked with this knowledge, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth embark on a murderous rampage to ensure that Macbeth becomes king and rules for a long time.

Washington is legendary in his portrayal of the powerhungry lord. He uses extreme subtlety in most lines, only exaggerating his words when it will really strike as his character experiences a greed-induced paranoia when he believes he throne will be taken from him.

ecstaffo@iu.edu | @erincstafford

Whimsical film director Joel Coen indulges in Hollywood’s recent obsession with horror period dramas in “The Tragedy of Macbeth.” This interpretation of Shakespeare’s famous play about a greed-infested Scotsman brings forth a sense of hyperrealism that chills audiences to the bone.

The Coen brothers’ films are known for their bizarre stylization, with an odd mixture of comedy and drama in each tale.

Having directed films like “The Big Lebowski,” “No Country for Old Men” and “Fargo,” the dynamic duo has a flare for merging genres until no one can be easily discerned from another.

As Joel Coen’s first solo project, “The Tragedy of Macbeth” possesses the same qualities.

The film was shot entirely on a single soundstage, giving each actor’s voice an unnatural, isolated cadence. Coen also man-

Horoscope

As a leading lady, McDormand’s performance is nothing short of intense. Anyone who knows the tale of Macbeth knows that the Scotsman’s wife is the real antagonist. It is her conniving mind that convinces her husband to kill the king and take his throne. She even steadies him as he is wrought with grief over what he’s done.

McDormand weaves in and out of a hushed whisper and heavily punctuated speech to represent the dual-sided lady she plays, creating a sinister feeling.

With “The Tragedy of Macbeth” being shot in black and white, the barren, eerie representation of each character is emphasized. The lines on Washington’s and McDormand’s faces are made that much more visible, and the graying of Washington’s hair stands out, communicating to audiences that this man holds the weight of the world on his shoulders.

With clever camerawork, a system of silhouettes works alongside each character and structure present in the film — giving each shot a specific meaning. The work with shadows and camera angles is deeply unsettling as it accompanies a tale of pure agony.

Even the film’s setting adds depth to the frightening tale. In Coen’s Macbeth interpretation, Scotland is portrayed as a muddy wasteland. This terrain helps accentuate the bereft political instability of the country in the 11th century.

Throughout “The Tragedy of Macbeth,” Coen reminds cinema of the greatness of Shakespeare.

Community decorates cards for senior citizens

By Christina Avery averycm@iu.edu | christym_avery

Bloomington residents celebrated Valentine's Day on Saturday with sparkles, hearts and kind words as they crafted cards for senior citizens in the community.

The event, called Love Notes for the Win, was hosted

by Anurika Enyiaku, the National American Miss Bloomington 2021-22, Anurika's mother Jessica Enyiaku, and Amie Crites, a Bloomington resident and creator of “A Cosmic Game of Love.” The event took place at Morgenstern’s Bookstore & Café from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Love Notes for the Win gave attendees the opportunity to decorate Valentine's Daythemed cards to uplift those in nursing homes and care facilities fighting loneliness and depression.

Anurika, 6, has collected cards for senior citizens since last year through her “Tell-AGrand” program. The idea for the program came while making a card last year to send to her uncle at his nursing home, where visitors have been limited due to the pandemic.

"He was really sad, and sometimes in nursing homes, they usually don't have someone to be with them or visit or anything, so we sent him a card,” Anariku said. “And then I decided that we should do that to other people, too.”

The pair were inspired to turn the single card into a

campaign to help others. Since Tell-A-Grand began, they've placed drop-off boxes around the city at O'Child Children's Boutique, City Church for All Nations and Morgenstern's.

They also opened a P.O. box last November.

As Valentine's Day got closer, Jessica and Anariku decided to make a special push for donations. They partnered with Amie Crites, who was also looking for ways to celebrate in the community. Crites has been spreading cards with encouraging messages around the city since 2016, and created A Cosmic Game of Love, a 42-card deck with positive affirmations and calls to action on each card.

Crites said some of the best experiences of her life have come from loving and being loved by strangers.

"I just think with everything going on in the world, it's important to make love louder," she said.

During the event, a table was set up with craft supplies such as colorful markers, red and white construction paper and glittery heart-shaped stickers. 220 store-bought cards were also available for use, with sayings such as "Let Happiness Bloom" on the front. Attendees took a seat to chat and decorate the cards, cutting out paper hearts, drawing pictures and writing notes.

Bloomington resident Deborah Ensmenger said she read about the event in a Herald-Times article and wanted

to participate since she and her daughter, Lily, often make cards for similar causes.

"There are so many people that are lonely and don't have people in their lives affirming them, so it's really impactful even if it's a stranger," she said.

Lily, 8, drew a purple, pink and blue rainbow on one of the cards, writing "Happy Valentine's Day." Deborah said events like this set a positive example for her daughter.

Anurika initially said her goal for the event was to collect 20 cards to give away. By the end of the event, there were a total of 116 cards made

by Anurika, Amie and other community members.

Jessica said the goal is to keep making cards for holidays as well as birthdays throughout the year. They would also eventually like to see the effort expand outside Bloomington, she said.

"We're just kind of hoping to get the word out and bring some awareness," she said.

"And to help people see that just four minutes of their time to make a card can really make a big impact."

Jessica and Anurika took the cards to seniors around Monroe County on Monday, while Crites passed them out to strangers and left them in random spots around town.

Card donations can be delivered to the drop-off boxes or mailed to Anurika and Jessica’s P.O box at Tell-A-Grand, P.O. Box 804, Bloomington, IN 47402.
