EVANSTON, Ill. — Rest doesn’t come often in the Big Ten, no matter how much it’s needed. Each team plays 18 games spread across the Midwest and New England packed into just under 10 weeks. Add in the strength of the conference and the importance of each game in the final season standings, and playing in the Big Ten is exhausting. That much was evident in IU’s 72-65 loss to Northwestern
on Wednesday. It was the Hoosiers’ seventh game in February, and the fatigue looked like it had taken effect. IU Coach Tom Crean said in a pre-game press conference that he didn’t think the Hoosiers needed rest, but their play Wednesday indicated otherwise. IU’s offense — normally one thought, one pass ahead of SEE OFFENSE, PAGE 6

EVANSTON, Ill. — Something was bound to break. It ended up being the IU offense. The Hoosiers’ offense shot 64.3 percent from 3-point range in the first half. The defense allowed Northwestern to shoot 51.7 percent from the field. One had to give. IU’s offense ended up bowing out. IU (19-10, 9-7) shot just 29 percent in the second half while Northwestern (14-14, 5-10) continued to shoot at a 51 percent clip for the game. IU sunk as the shots stopped
falling. The Wildcats defeated the Hoosiers 72-65 to win a fourth-consecutive Big Ten game for the first time since 1967. “Our team has been resilient all year,” IU Coach Tom Crean said. “I love how they continue to grow up. The one thing that we have got to learn is when the shots aren’t falling, you define how good of a team you’re going to be when it’s not there.” Without warning, IU’s offense evaporated in the second half after an efficient opening period.

More than 200 attendees tasked the Indiana Department of Transportation with some difficult issues Wednesday, from annexed land to financial concerns. “I can you ask you guys the same questions and get three or four different answers,” a man said to INDOT representatives at the public forum in the Martinsville High School auditorium. This particular Interstate 69 project, Section 6, will stretch from Indianapolis to Martinsville and is only one part of a state initiative to connect Indianapolis and Evansville. Indiana’s project is only one part of a federal highway infrastructure program to extend I-69 from Mexico to Canada. The construction of Section 6 is being administered by INDOT, the Federal Highway Association and a private consultant group. The goals of the project include improving the transportation between southwest Indiana and Indianapolis, to alleviate some traffic congestion and support economic growth throughout Indiana. Currently, an Environmental Impact Statement is being drafted that will investigate a number of environmental considerations including wetland identification, stream assessments, endangered species surveys, historic and archaeological resources evaluation and noise analysis. The EIS is expected to be finished by the first quarter of 2017. INDOT recognizes these concerns and plans to address them, said William Wingfield, a spokesperson for the Indiana Department of Transportation. “How can we address traffic?” Wingfield said. “How can we minimize cost?

Focus group discusses relationship between alcohol, sexual assault By Lindsay Moore liramoor@indiana.edu | @_lindsaymoore
Adding alcohol to the equation of sexual assault and consent often leaves students in a gray area. Students on the Sexual Assault Task Force and other student organizations met at the Dean of Students’ office last night to discuss the relationship between alcohol and sexual assault on campus. The focus group was led by Devon Malick, an intern of Culture of Care, Dean of Students office and the drug and alcohol information center, OASIS. Malick will be working to pilot a curriculum based around sexual assault prevention. The focus group was shown the New Zealand-based video “Who Are You?” which focused on bystander intervention. The video featured a night out for two friends that began with a pregame at a friend’s house and progressed to a bar scene. Throughout the video, different bystanders were identified: the friend, the stranger, the bartender and the roommate. As the video progressed, no bystanders intervened. At the end, the night was set in reverse to show

what each bystander could have done preventatively. The future curriculum would be based off a video similar to “Who Are You?” set at IU. The focus group was asked for suggestions on how to make this video relatable to IU students. Students suggested adding a variety of scenes of where sexual assault could happen including dorms, house parties, fraternities and bars. Sophomore Carmen Vernon, Feminist Student Association treasurer, suggested that switching the focus from bystanders to the perpetrator would be effective in changing the culture of sexual assault. “I’d like more emphasis to be put on perpetrators, whether they’re SEE ASSAULT, PAGE 6

IU alumna and “What I Wore” blog founder Jessica Quirk spoke Wednesday night at the IUAA Devault Center. “Dress not only for your workplace, but who you’re interacting with,” she said. Her presentation was meant to help students adjust their wardrobe for what is expected in their future careers.
Alumna speaks about fashion By Storme Dayhuff sdayhuff@indiana.edu
Jessica Quirk said she believes putting together a cute outfit is like putting together a great meal; if you can put together a recipe, you can put together a cute outfit. Quirk is the founder of the fashion blog “What I Wore” and led a presentation Wednesday in the Virgil T. DeVault Alumni Center. Her presentation covered three main points: dress codes, workplace fashion mistakes and how to build a functioning, professional wardrobe. “You don’t want to be swallowed by your clothes as much as you don’t want to stuff yourself into
them,” Quirk said. Quirk is an IU alumna who graduated in 2005 with a degree in apparel merchandising. After working in New York City for five years as a fashion designer, Quirk decided to quit her job during the recession and make blogging her full time gig, she said. “Its sort of a full circle; I started at IU, and I ended up back here,” Quirk said. Quirk teaches fashion illustration at IU as an adjunct faculty member while maintaining her blog as a full time job. Quirk’s fashion blog has more than one million followers on Tumblr. Quirk’s presentation included tips on tailoring clothes as well as where to find affordable, long-
lasting pieces for most professional positions. “Tailoring is a great way you can take a Target skirt that costs 20 bucks, tailor it to your body and it looks like you bought it on Michigan Avenue. Everything is super dependent on your workplace,” Quirk said. “Look at your boss, see what he or she is wearing and take cues from them.” Emma Green is a 21-year-old Spanish major who said she came to Quirk’s presentation because a good wardrobe can improve positive goals. “Through work attire, you can build confidence in yourself; it improves the work that you do,” Green said. “Your appearance can really benefit or have a negative impact on your
day and how you feel about yourself.” Quirk said she believes if you feel good in what you wear and how you take care of yourself, you can be more confident in the professional world. “Beyond all of this, the reason I care about fashion is because when you take a little time and put it into yourself, it can make a difference in your day,” Quirk said. “You should look in the mirror and be like, ‘Hey, I like myself today.’ Then you feel good and you do better work.” Quirk’s fashion cookbook, also titled “What I Wore,” can be found on amazon.com. All her social media handles can be found using the key words “What I Wore.”
Students to network with professionals By Alexis Daily aledaily@indiana.edu
Students will have the opportunity to network with professionals and learn more about future career possibilities tonight. Faculty and Staff for Student Excellence is hosting its fifth annual Career Dinner Symposium at 6 p.m. in the Indiana Memorial Union Tudor Room. The event is open to all, but students should have RSVP’d before attending the symposium so they can be matched with professionals they are interested in speaking with. Caty Munden, a FASE senior peer adviser, said during the dinner that students are assigned to sit with a professional in a discipline they are interested in pursuing. “We hope that students learn about a field or career that they may be interested in, that they make a contact who can continue to provide assistance throughout their journey and that they feel as though they better understand what is needed
to be successful in a field they are passionate about,” Munden said. FASE Director Patrick Smith said the idea of the dinner is to bring together students and professionals for the purposes of networking, which could lead to further mentoring opportunities such as job shadowing or internships. FASE Mentor Annalee Patel said she attended the dinner last year and met Judge Valeri Haughton and Megan Lewis. She said when she started to look for internships a month later and craved hands-on experience, she emailed Lewis and set up an interview. “Typically, students our age think of internships as either running errands or buying coffee,” Patel said. “However, I got really lucky.” She said she helps draft legal documents, attend court hearings, file motions and interact with all the actors within the criminal justice system. Additionally, she said she has learned valuable accounting and management
skills through the internship she received. “My boss always tells me she wants me to get the ‘real idea’ of how an attorney’s life is, because law school does not teach the practicalities of our field,” Patel said. “I feel tremendously lucky to not only have a great boss, but to have gained a tremendous mentor and have solidified my passion for my future career.” Patel said some of the biggest moments in her life came from chance encounters, something FASE was responsible for making happen throughout her undergraduate career. FASE Senior Peer Adviser Phillisha Wathen said the dinner taught her how to professionally engage and network within a formal setting while also receiving the opportunity to ask professionals questions about her intended career. “Through FASE, I’ve developed a core set of professional, communication and leadership skills that will translate into opportunities in a wide variety of career
CAREER DINNER 6 p.m. today IMU Tudor Room fields,” she said. Wathen, who is a 21st Century Scholar, said she began attending FASE events her freshman year. She said the program offers many leadership opportunities and services that go beyond the typical expectations of what a mentor does or is. “FASE means providing service to the students of IU and the Bloomington community by offering a means to improve leadership and communication skills to benefit students’ future careers,” FASE Marketing Liaison Libby Gress said. Gress said FASE’s goal is to help students succeed academically and socially and develop skills along the way. She said the Career Dinner Symposium is one of many educational, social, philanthropic and professional events throughout the school year.
The Residence Hall Association addressed compensation of members and proposed two new compensation models at a meeting Wednesday. Four executives, the president, the vice president of internal affairs, the vice president of student affairs and the vice president of programming make up the association’s executive board. The four executives currently make approximately $7,500 per semester. Thirteen center presidents and eight directors — the director of arts and culture, the director of finance, the director of health and wellness, the director of philanthropy, the director of public relations, the director of social advocacy, the director of sustainability and the national communications coordinator — round out the association. The 13 center presidents make approximately $3,800 per semester, while the eight directors make about $1,500 per semester. The internal affairs committee, however, proposed two alternative compensation models. The first compensation model proposed that executives make $5,650, that center presidents make $4,000 and that directors make $2,000. Under this model, compensation of RHA members would account for $92,600. The second compensation model proposed that executives make 75 percent of the standard room rate, or $5,427.75; that center presidents make 50 percent of the room rate of whatever center of which they are president, or approximately $3,754.38; and that directors make 25 percent of the standard room rate, or $6,098.75. Under this model, compensation of RHA members would account for $86,801.25. The purpose behind the proposed compensation models, according to the bill, is to make the compensation more equal, encouraging greater interest in the

Currently, RHA executives make approximately $7,500 each. There are a total of four RHA executive positions, for a total amount of $30,000.
In the first compensation model, executives would make $5,650 each. With four RHA members, that would total 22,600 for executives alone.
In the second compensation model, executives would make $5,427.75. With four executives, that would total 21,711 for executives alone.

center president and director positions. “I think this could be a giant first step to creating a more equitable government, as opposed to valuing certain people’s efforts over others,” McNutt Quadrangle President Nathan Manworren said. RHA members, however, expressed concerns. Because RHA members have suggested further changes to the structure of RHA, members were concerned that implementing a new compensation model would complicate discussions regarding these suggested changes to the structure of RHA. And because RHA members have already announced their intention to run or apply for next academic’s RHA positions, members were concerned that implementing a new compensation model would be unfair to those who have already announced their intention to run or apply. Nine RHA members voted in support of the first compensation model, while six RHA members abstained from voting. RHA members did not vote on the second compensation model. As a result, neither compensation model was approved. Patrick Connor, executive director of Residential Programs and Services, also updated members of RHA on the 2015-2016 residence hall housing rates, approved by the IU Board of Trustees during a meeting last Friday. The cost of the most commonly requested room and board package at IU will increase by $302, or 3.2 percent. The most commonly requested room and board package at IU includes an airconditioned, double-occupancy room in a mid-amenity hall and a standard meal plan. The rate of increase, however, will depend on the room and board package, with the cost of rooms increasing anywhere from 0.5 percent to 4 percent and the cost of a standard meal plan increasing by $50, or 1.6 percent. “Most of that money is affixed to using to advance our programming,” Connor said.

Big-headed ants forage around in their exhibits Wednesday at the WonderLab Museum. Magnifying video cameras mounted outside of the colony exhibits provide closer views of the ants’ behaviors. The special exhibition will be on display through March 27.
Ants take over Wonderlab By Lyndsay Jones jonesly@indiana.edu | @lyndsayjonesy
The Wonderlab Museum of Science, Technology and Health is crawling with ants. On the second floor of the museum, kids can jump from exhibit to exhibit and watch ants in various scenarios. Some ants are gathering food. Some are pushing their trash into piles. Cameras placed inside the cases broadcast the ants’ activities on a monitor, providing an intimate look into their small lives. Karen Jepson-Innes, associate executive director of Wonderlab, said Wonderlab benefits from live exhibits. “The goal was to have a working exhibit that that people could observe,” Jepson-Innes said. “Visitors re-

with the environment and historical archaeological resources and minimize impacts to all those? It’s a lot to take in.” Following a brief presentation about the EIS, members of the public were encouraged to ask questions. A big concern that was consistently brought up was the likelihood of the state seizing private property. Cathy Jackson had a portion of her and her husband’s land taken by the state to build Section 4 and expressed her distrust for highway infrastructure projects such as these. “These meetings are just for show,” Jackson said to the audience. “The state cares nothing about your thoughts, your feelings or your property.” Most of the people to stand up and deliver comments were apprehensive about the effects building a large highway would have on local communities. “All we’re asking is that you’re honest with us,” a woman said without disclosing her name. Wingfield was hoping to gain insight into the public’s opinion and ideas on the project from the comment
ally love live animals.” On a busy day, JepsonInnes said 500 people might come through the lab. She estimated the lab attracts 86,000 guests per year. Yesterday, the lab wasn’t crowded. Marketing Director Louise Schlesinger said that was normal for a weekday. “It’s a Wednesday afternoon and kids are still in school,” Schlesinger said. But the few kids who were there seemed to be having a blast. Amy Ringer was there with her son and her daughter. “This is our first time,” Ringer said. “They are really loving it.” As she spoke, her son looked at some ants with a magnifying glass. “Mom, I want a session. “So really at this point we’re primarily here to listen,” Wingfield said. “We don’t have recommendations, we don’t have numbers. We’re trying to figure out, first, is if we’re asking the right questions.” Funding specifically for Section 6 has not yet been specifically allocated, but funding for the previously constructed sections utilized funding from similar sources. One of the major sources of funding for I-69 construction and the development of Indiana highways is Major Moves, a program that was launched by former Gov. Mitch Daniels that allocates $2.6 billion over a 10-year period for the construction and maintenance of highways in Indiana. Sections 1 through 4 were constructed using a combination of funding from Major Moves and traditional funding from both the state and federal governments. Section 5, which is currently under construction, is being designed, financed and built by a private developer. The private developer will be reimbursed in a fixed-payment system over the course of about 35 years. A spokesperson from INDOT estimated that construction on Section 6 will begin in early 2018.
magnifying glass too,” her daughter said. The exhibit also has interactive features. In one part, children can dig through rocks for hidden surprises. In another, kids use a pulley system to learn how much an ant can lift. Wonderlab is a nonprofit organization that began as a network of traveling volunteers. In 1998, the group opened a temporary museum before establishing a permanent one on Fourth Street. The lab continues to benefit from the generosity of its volunteers. The aproned helpers supervise the exhibits and play areas, sometimes playing with the kids. Some of the volunteers are practically kids
themselves. Eighth-grader Hayden Pope said he had been volunteering since he was in sixth grade. “When there’s people here, it’s fun,” Pope said. “It’s fun to interact with the kids.” Adam Miller is a freshman studying biochemistry at IU. He said that sometimes his educational experiences help him with the job. “Mostly, I do demonstrations,” Miller said. He pointed to a machine on the first floor. “I knew how to explain that one because I knew science.” Parts of the exhibit are temporary. But the live ant exhibit won’t leaving anytime soon. “This will stay around for a while,” Jepson-Innes said.
A bill payment scam targeting Duke Energy customers has been active in Bloomington, according to reports by the company. Potential targets receive a phone call telling them their account has overdue bills that must be paid or service will be immediately shut off. Victims are instructed to purchase a pre-paid debit card and give the card information over the phone to pay their bill, according to a company statement. The scammers then withdraw the funds and leave the victims poorer and potentially none the wiser that they were targeted. “This is simply not the way we do business,” spokesperson for Duke Energy Lew Middleton said. Though Duke does at times call customers to talk about their accounts, customers are advised to hang up and call the company back at their toll-free number if they are concerned the call is illegitimate, according to the statement. The company will never shut off service without multiple attempts to contact the customer and will never ask for payment over the phone, Middleton said. Duke will also never ask a customer to pay a balance with a pre-paid debit card, according to the company’s website. Multiple complaints have recently been filed about this particular scam, according to the Indiana Attorney General’s office, which oversees consumer protection in the state.
“I recently checked to see if we had any complaints,” said Molly Johnson, spokesperson for the consumer protection arm of the Attorney General’s office, of the energy bill scam. “It’s kind of a reoccurring theme.” This particular bill-paying scam has been active in Bloomington, Terre Haute and Columbus, Ind., Middleton said. “There’s been an increase in this in the past couple of years,” Middleton said of the scams. “One of the first was a few years ago.” Though the scams have been increasing in incidence, no clear pattern of targeting or timing has emerged, Middleton said. “The scammers seem to be more and more sophisticated,” Middleton said. “It’s hard to identify who these people are.” In addition to the phone call scam, another scam promises to wipe out a customers entire energy bill balance for a cash fee, which is referred to as a “third-party scam” by the company’s website. The company advises customers who think they have been scammed or targeted to immediately file a report with the police, according to the statement. Customers may also call Duke directly at 1-800-5446900 if they have questions regarding the legitimacy of supposed employees. Additional information about billing scams can be found at www.duke-energy. com or on the Attorney General’s website at www. in.gov/attorneygeneral. “Really, the best weapon we have against this is information,” Middleton said.
Council discusses TIF district funds By Neal Earley njearley@indiana.edu
The Bloomington City Council met Wednesday night to discuss resolution 15-03, a piece of legislation proposed by the Bloomington City Plan Commissions to expand the city’s five Tax Increment Financing districts in order to connect them. The city plan commission approved the resolution unanimously and is now asking the city council to approve their resolution. Representing the plan commission’s resolution were Margie Rice, corporation counsel with the city; Tom Micuda, from the planning and transportation department; and Jeff Underwood, the City Controller. Each came to the podium to outline their plans and to answer questions from the council. “Essentially what we did is we filled in the gap,” Micuda said of the commission’s plan to connect the TIF districts. “We filled the gap in for a very specific reason — it just wasn’t enough consolidation, but there are some
very key corridors that this consolation covers.” TIF districts allow the city to collect an extra tax on property in order to fund public improvements in that district. TIF districts are permitted under Indiana state law if the district needs improvements that could not be fixed by other means.

ZIPPER UNZIPPED
Farewell, ‘Parks and Recreation’ NBC has lost its last good show. And it was over much too quickly. On Tuesday, the series finale of NBC’s last hope, aka “Parks and Recreation,” aired, leaving me in a jumble of sorrow on the floor. What began as something like “The Office Part II” quickly became one of NBC’s most beloved shows. But it was treated unfairly in its final season — the final 12 episodes aired in six weeks, which, frankly, was not enough time for me to say goodbye. Not a just farewell on the network’s part, if you ask me. NBC has lost its spark in recent years. In this columnist’s opinion, “Parks and Rec” was its last great sitcom, and maybe, just maybe, the last great sitcom, period. Historically, sitcoms have aired almost exclusively on network TV. With the advent of streaming options producing original content combined with the dramatic increase in cable and premium networks doing the same, there’s little reason to watch network TV. Network TV is censored and relies on advertising. This limits the type of content they can air. Cable TV operates similarly, although censoring plays a lesser role. But premium TV, such as HBO and Showtime, and streaming, such as Netflix and Amazon, aren’t burdened by either. So the type of content they can produce is virtually limitless. I think it’s pretty clear who’s going to win here. Furthermore, the line between premium and streaming is blurring. HBO and Showtime both plan to release stand-alone streaming services this year that don’t require a TV subscription. This puts them on the same level as Netflix and Amazon. Network TV is lagging behind in this game. CBS launched a similar streaming service last year called “CBS All Access” that streams some live programming and more

Related Content, page 7 Check out the Weekend front for a eulogy to the “Parks and Recreation” finale than 5,000 episodes of past and current shows. Not surprisingly, CBS is “America’s Most-Watched Network.” But it doesn’t matter how much content they’re streaming if the content is severely limited. And it is. Why watch some tame, redundant family sitcom on ABC if you can get something racy and untamed on HBO? Hello, life is profane and unpredictable, and if art is meant to imitate life, it can’t be censored by the FCC. So was “Parks and Rec” the last great sitcom because it was truly great? Or was it the last great sitcom just because it was the last, a mere product of nostalgia? Both. It was a true underdog saga with earnest characters and sharp wit. And not to mention it employed a protagonist, Leslie Knope, who had the demeanor of that woman you know from your hometown who embodied something so special that you just couldn’t help but root for her to climb as high as she could. But it was also great because it was the last entry into the canon of a dying art form. When people think of great sitcoms, they will no doubt think of “Parks and Rec,” and it will be the latest one that comes to mind. It’s kind of sad. I’m kind of sad. I grew up with sitcoms. But mostly I grew up with reruns of sitcoms. Yes, the sitcom will live on. In our hearts, in syndication, in our Netflix queues. But there won’t be any great ones. zipperr@indiana.edu
JUST JOSH
The no spin zone under fire Brian Williams’ six-month suspension from NBC was two weeks ago. Now, Bill O’Reilly has come under fire for allegedly falsely claiming in 1982 he reported on the Falklands conflict from a war zone. Critics claim that, since he was in Buenos Aires 1,200 miles away, he was not in a war zone, even though he was reporting on a violent protest that was incited by the events in the Falklands. I have never been a person who would defend Bill O’Reilly, but even a controversial pundit like him deserves some leeway with events that occurred 33 years ago. There is a point at which enough time has passed that events in one’s past, even misrepresented ones, should just not matter anymore. Journalists are expected to report the news truthfully and without bias. To the extent that Bill O’Reilly and Brian Williams are considered journalists — because they really just read or comment on the news — they’re not misreporting the facts of a situation. They provided, unknowingly or not, misleading details about their own experiences — experiences which are removed from their actual coverage of events. Especially because we are so far removed from the contested events, their validity has no bearing on present day. Certainly, if we found out that O’Reilly did misleadingly portray the realities of his reporting on the Falklands, I doubt many people would care. To me it seems if one likes Bill O’Reilly, then nothing short of treasonous activities could change one’s opinion of him. Though older generations

could be more affected, as a millennial, it doesn’t phase me as much. I would also bet that many of my peers know very little about the existence of the Falklands War. Even so, journalists themselves are supposed to be removed from the situation they are reporting. Though claiming certain facts about their experiences while reporting inserts them within the story, continuing to examine the precise details about the experience does not uphold standards of journalistic integrity because this practice continues to place the journalist above the story itself. The journalist should be held responsible if he or she is not accurately and honestly reporting, but that is not the case here. It’s no coincidence that O’Reilly’s story has been uncontested for decades. It just doesn’t matter anymore. In many ways, it would be unfair for us to hold Williams and O’Reilly to the standards of journalism when they are not functioning as journalists. They are personalities, bordering on entertainers. Early in their career they were journalists, but they certainly are not now. O’Reilly’s show is built around his commentary on the news, which is the exact opposite of what a journalist is expected to do. As for Williams, he’s just a talking head and a highly-paid one at that. That’s all. Give them a break, folks. allenjo@indiana.edu

Profiling fallout WE SAY: Nuclear ban shouldn’t have existed The University of Massachusetts Amherst decided to no longer allow Iranian-native students to enroll in various science courses because they could take that knowledge to develop nuclear weapons for Iran. The university explained this was in compliance with a 2012 federal law restricting science education for Iranian students pursuing careers in the energy and nuclear fields. Meanwhile, the U.S. State Department pushed the blame back onto UMass Amherst as such limitations do not apply to all Iranian students but are rather the result of a “case-by-case” decision. After outrage about the controversy ensued, UMass Amherst reversed the ban. However, the Editorial Board finds this troubling because the decision to introduce a ban at all still brings to light the fact that such legislation can exist. Not to mention, universities can still racially profile and deny Iranian students access to these classes in said case-by-case assessments.
Such an attitude is only adding discriminatory fuel to the fire that is the scorched diplomatic relationship between the U.S. and Iran. As the school’s Iranian students and alumni said, “We always felt like an integral part of the university community. Now we’re just kind of confused.” Confused is one word. Alienated is another. These students arrived under the impression the U.S. was this mythical land of freedom. Instead, we are giving an Iranian transfer student wanting to learn about nuclear science a valid reason to find our nation repugnantly oppressive and worthy of annihilation at the hands of nuclear weaponry. There are many things a person can do with knowledge of the energy and nuclear fields of science. Is a public university really so foolish as to imply all Iranian nationals interested in certain areas of study are hateful terrorists trying to pursue an education in the U.S. to turn around
and blow it sky high? God forbid someone from Iran wants to work in areas of science to procure positive outcomes, such as finding alternatives to fossil fuels. With this logic, IU should employ profiling to keep white people from enrolling in business classes so they don’t one day become douche bags. “Hey, not all white people studying business turn out to be douche bags. That’s an offensive stereotype,” you might say to us as you set down your briefcase in a huff and angrily adjust your necktie. And you’d be right. It is an unfair stereotype. At this point, UMass Amherst is backtracking on a point that should have never been made. The true tragedy is this policy undermined part of what is so great about the university system in the U.S. We should embrace people coming from far and wide to study here rather than shy away in a paranoia that was last fashionable during the Cold War.
SHELLING IT OUT
Recreation sports celebrates EveryBODY Week If you’re anything like me, physically getting yourself to the gym is one of the hardest parts of working out. I set aside time to hit the gym as often as I can, but once that time comes around, I try to trick my mind into doing something else, such as thinking I have to complete the homework I’ve been trying to work at for hours or that the certain relative I’ve been forgetting to call needs to be updated, right now. This week, however, I was really happy I made it to the Student Recreational Sports Center and saw its efforts to promote its positive body image campaign, Celebrate EveryBODY Week. CEBW is a weeklong campaign run by Recreational Sports focused on “increasing mindfulness and creating positive messaging related to body image awareness,” according to the department’s website. Throughout the week, the SRSC is hosting free
activities centered on loving yourself, such as “Rock What You’ve Got Hip Hop session” and “Pedal for Positivity CycleFit.” The most noticeable changes to the SRSC are the purple streamers and self-love posters hung on the ceilings and walls, which in itself takes away the monotony of going to a usually-static gym. When I hopped on my elliptical to complete a routine and tedious cardio workout, I was taken by surprise to see a cute purple bar taped to the top of the machine that simply said, “You are beautiful!” I then noticed that every machine in the upstairs cardio room had a purple bar attached to it, but each had a different inspirational quote or positive saying. That in itself was enough motivation to get the workout done, but with a much more positive mindset than I had started with. In accordance with Celebrate EveryBODY week,
there has been a daily hashtag to get people personally involved in the campaign. Starting with #MirrorPicMonday, and #LikeAGirl on Tuesday, where students could post why they’re proud to do the things they do “like a girl.” Students also got to promote their photos with #WCW and #ThankfulThursday, a tag students can use while wearing purple to promote positive body image. The reason I believe this is such an effective program for college students to participate in is the fact that body image has the potential to plummet in the years where you’re set on your own and have to cook, exercise and maintain good grades all on your own time. Eating unhealthy foods becomes a habit when you’re pressed for time and they’re the first thing available to you. Additionally, the Recreational Sports department
Shelbey Vanderbrouke is a freshman in journalism.
is conquering a huge issue head-on: If poor body image goes untreated, it can lead to more serious issues like eating disorders and depression. Celebrate EveryBODY week gives students a reason to take a step back and appreciate themselves for who they are, all while encouraging them to maintain a healthy lifestyle and continue on a path of worthwhile living. If it were up to me, I would implement more programs like this because of how positive they make the SRSC’s atmosphere and how great they make people feel in the process. But for now, props to the Recreational Sports department for facilitating an effective campaign that stands for such an important cause. snvanden@indiana.edu

Hoosiers split doubleheader in Louisville, Ky. By Danny White danswhit@indiana.edu
The IU men’s tennis team played a doubleheader Wednesday against Toledo and Louisville. Despite losing 7-0 at No. 6 Illinois on Sunday, the Hoosiers climbed eight spots in the ITA rankings. They improved their ranking from No. 44 to No. 36 in the nation. After a tough afternoon against Illinois, the Hoosiers looked to rebound. The No. 36 Hoosiers defeated Toledo 4-1 Wednesday afternoon in Louisville, Ky. IU got off to a strong start against Toledo on Wednesday afternoon as they closed out the tiebreak 12-10 to take the doubles point. “Against Toledo, we came away with a really tight doubles point,” IU Coach Wurtzman said. “It went back and forth and we were able to win a key tiebreaker. I think winning the doubles gave us a lot of momentum.” In singles competition, IU freshman Matthew McCoy defeated Omar Espinosa 6-4, 6-4; IU senior Sven Lalic defeated Roberto Meza 6-1, 6-3; and IU sophomore Stefan Lugonjic defeated Stephen Miller 6-3, 6-0.

IU and No. 5 Maryland both know a little something about streaks. Maryland has won 19 straight games and hasn’t lost a Big Ten game in its history. The Terrapins joined the conference this season. The Hoosiers, on the other hand, have lost their last three games. On four different occasions, IU (14-13, 4-12) has endured consecutive losses in some quantity or another. The two teams will meet Thursday in College Park, Md., from opposite ends of the Big Ten standings. Maryland (25-2, 16-0) holds the top spot, while IU is tied for 11th. “There’s a reason why at this point they are No. 5 in the country right now,” IU Coach Teri Moren said. The game will be a rematch from Jan. 25, when Maryland beat IU 84-74, but
Moren saw much more than just a loss. It was a night that saw the Hoosiers trailing 18 at halftime and missing their first 13 3-pointers. But IU changed its approach, drove to the basket and made it a 10-point game. “I thought, after watching our game again, what I was proud of the most was how we got down but we fought back,” Moren said. As IU continued to lower the deficit late in the second half, Maryland Coach Brenda Frese called two timeouts down the stretch to talk things over with her team. “In spite of not shooting the ball from outside very well, I thought one of the things we did a great job of was we really tried to attack them off the bounce,” Moren said. “We got some good things going down the stretch, pressed them a little bit.” Since then, IU has taken steps forward and other steps
backward as Moren preaches consistency and steady progress. This includes doubledigit losses to Michigan State, Iowa and Michigan as well as convincing wins against Purdue and Illinois. Saturday, IU made a late comeback against then-No. 21 Nebraska and had it come down to the final shot in a 3-point loss. Now, the Hoosiers end the regular season with road tests at Maryland and No. 20 Rutgers. Losses in both games would drop an IU team that once stood at 10-1 to a below .500 record of 14-15. IU is 3-7 on the road this season, and it will be senior night for the Terrapins on Thursday. The Terrapins are shooting 48 percent from the field this season and possess a scoring margin of 20.8 greater than opponents. Moren said IU will be trying to change it up defensively

IU is currently tied with Wisconsin for 11th place in the Big Ten, leaving both in the bottom four. The bottom four teams have to play an extra conference tournament game to make their way in. Just above IU is Illinois and Michigan State at only one game ahead. But it will be difficult to make that jump out of the bottom four against two ranked opponents over the next week. “(Maryland) is a really good basketball team,” Moren said. “Another tremendous challenge for our young team. It is going to be a challenge that, regardless of win or loss, is going to make us better.”
Hoosiers to victory. While the Hoosiers won, they faced a difficult opponent in the second part of their doubleheader. “They are a very competitive team,” Lalic said. “They have a great atmosphere at their home courts. Their lineup is very good and there is no weak spot.” In its final match of the day, IU lost against Louisville 5-0. Louisville edged the Hoosiers to win the doubles point. The Hoosiers hoped to turn their fortune in the singles match but to no avail. “I think we did a good job,” Coach Wurtzman said. “It just didn’t go our way.” In singles competition, No. 5 Seb Stiefelmeyer defeated IU junior Sam Monette 7-6, 6-0, and No. 104 Albert Wagner defeated IU junior Daniel Bednarczyk 6-3, 6-3. The Cardinals registered their eighth straight win, defending their court successfully by winning both matches of the day against Toledo and IU. Louisville improves its home record to 9-1 on the year and will remain at home to host Green Bay and IU-Purdue University Indianapolis Saturday. Up next, the Hoosiers will play St. Mary’s and Washington in Seattle on Saturday.
BASKET CASE
With Wednesday night’s loss, Hoosiers can say hello to the bubble CASEY KRAJEWSKI is a senior in journalism.
If the IU men’s basketball team could just play some semblance of defense. Wait, no. The Hoosiers’ offense was the reason they lost to Northwestern. For possibly the first time all season, or at most since the Michigan State game, IU’s offense was worse than its defense. After an offensively-fueled first half of basketball, the score was tied at 40, and it appeared it was going to be another classic Hoosier game — lots of scoring, poor defense. In the second half, that
story changed. In the first 16 minutes after intermission, the Hoosiers scored a miniscule eight points. That included a drought of more than 10 minutes without scoring. That’s right. For a quarter of the basketball game, the Hoosiers failed to record a single point. IU even got into the bonus with more than 12 minutes remaining, but that was more of a curse than a blessing. The Hoosiers finished the game 7-of-16 from the charity stripe, good for just 43.8 percent. IU was so bad from the free throw line, they would have been better off chucking the ball at the front of the rim and going for the rebound —
a popular move in the game “21” on the playground. IU fans should be worried. Yes, Northwestern is on a hot streak and is not as bad as their record suggests. But the Hoosiers are in trouble. IU is just 4-6 over its last 10 games and has been exposed on offense in their last two losses. Against Purdue last week and in the second half against Northwestern on Wednesday, IU’s opponent proved the Hoosiers are nothing without the 3-pointer. This is not the time to be struggling. As the Big Ten season winds down and teams prepare for the conference tournament and beyond, everyone wants to be
playing their best basketball. Home games against Iowa and Michigan State loom as opportunities to bolster IU’s resume. But the reverse side of that coin is losses in one or both of those contests could mean IU gets ousted. For some reason, despite IU’s recent struggles, everyone seems to think the Hoosiers are safe. A pretty strong RPI number and a few quality wins provide a semi-false sense of security. But at some point, you just need to look at wins and losses. IU is 19-10, but seven of those wins are from nonconference games against college basketball nobodies. And now, at just 9-7 in conference

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 The Hoosiers went over 10 minutes without a basket and scored just 25 total secondhalf points. Fifteen of those came in the game’s final three minutes after the outcome had already been decided. In the first half, IU could hardly miss. In the second, the Hoosiers couldn’t buy a basket. What changed? Not much, according to Northwestern Coach Chris Collins. He didn’t change anything schematically. Northwestern stuck to a 2-3 zone, daring IU to make jumpshots because he thought his team had “no chance” in man-to-man. Junior guard Nick Zeisloft blamed IU’s shot selection. He said they settled too much, allowing the zone to prevail. “We stuck to our guns,” Collins said. “They had some clean looks that just didn’t go down. We’ll take it.” When IU got into the paint, a swarm of Wildcats players collapsed to alter a shot. When IU shot jumpshots over the zone, they more often than not found the iron and bounced harmlessly away.

Even the good looks wouldn’t fall. “We missed open shots,” Crean said. “I’d love to tell you it was something different.” On the defensive end, IU struggled to contain Northwestern big man Alex Olah, who finished with 17 points and 11 rebounds. The Hoosiers were too often leaving Northwestern wide open, and the Wildcats took advantage. They shot 40 percent from beyond the arc and were led by Tre Demps’ 23 points. Demps was the name Crean kept repeating after the game. IU simply had no answer for him. “We did not do a good enough job in the second half on Tre Demps,” Crean said. “I’d love to tell you it’s a bunch of other things. But it’s not.” Wednesday’s loss is nothing new for IU. It’s been a recurring problem all season. When the Hoosiers’ shots stop falling, they struggle. Crean said IU needs to find new ways to win, and with the Big Ten Tournament just two weeks away, his team is running out of time. “It’s one loss,” Crean said. “We can learn from it, go home, get ready for Iowa.” video focused on a perpetrator who was a stranger to the victim.

The Hoosiers shot 37 percent from the field, 39 percent from the 3-point range and an abysmal 44 percent from the line. The offensive struggles reached a boiling point midway through the second half, when IU was held without a point for more than 10 minutes. “They missed some shots they normally hit,” Northwestern Coach Chris Collins said. It was worse defensively. Not only could IU not protect the rim, it started to forget to guard Northwestern’s players. Multiple possessions ended with a Hoosier frantically searching for a Wildcat who had already scored. “We didn’t stay with the cutter a couple times,” Crean said. “We were in certain actions that we didn’t jump the zone on.” IU relies heavily on two freshmen and a first-year starter, which may have mitted were by someone the victim knew, and 38 percent of rapists are known by the victim, according to the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network. Perpetrators are not hiding in the shadows; they’re friends. Victims are not wandering into dark alleyways; they’re neighbors. Culture of Care and other
contributed to the apparent fatigue. At this time last year, freshmen guards Robert Johnson and James Blackmon Jr. were preparing for their respective state tournaments and junior forward Hanner Mosquera-Perea was a backup, playing just under eight minutes per game. Blackmon played 23 games his senior season of high school and Johnson played 29. IU has played 29 times already and is guaranteed at least three more games this season. Crean downplayed the issue. His team’s performance wasn’t a result of players being tired, he said. “We just missed shots,” he said. “I’d love to say, ‘Wow, our legs gave out on our shots,’ we just didn’t make them.” With rest so precious in a Big Ten schedule, a six-day break is a rarity — especially so close to postseason play. The Hoosiers won’t play a game this weekend and will have until Tuesday as a breather until closing the regular season and starting postseason play. preventive programs work within student groups to change how they think about sexual assault within their specific communities. This is more effective in generating discussion for ways to intervene and challenge their group norms, Assistant Dean for Women’s and Gender Affairs Leslie Fasone said.

Any time off is good for a team, Crean said, but it won’t change how IU prepares to end the season. He and his staff have been working to avoid fatigue all season, he said. “That’s a good thing
inside of it,” Crean said. “We really just monitor every day to get ready for what the next day should bring us, and I don’t think that will change with a six-day, no-game break. Every team goes through it.”
“Obviously we want to reduce the risk,” Fasone said. “But one of our ways in doing that is to teach people to be active bystanders so that within their group they know when they don’t see something, they say something and they do something.” Bystander intervention was introduced because students expressed a need
for it, Fasone said. Students continually asked about how to intervene, but what they needed was the confidence to do so, Fasone said. “To really change this culture, I think students have a lot more power than they utilize,” Fasone said. “You guys can make an amazing impact on campus.”

Weekend says goodbye to the beloved NBC sitcom By Anicka Slachta aslachta@indiana.edu
L
et us bow our heads in respect. Fold your hands in your lap and make sure you have tissues on hand — no one said this was going to be easy. Tuesday, the NBC sitcom “Parks and Recreation” celebrated its last hoorah with a one-hour series finale. The show came to a close after more than six years and seven seasons, and we knew it was coming. Like, for a while. Still, nobody — and I repeat, nobody — was ready for this. I thought the waterworks were bad when Ann Perkins and Chris Traeger left Pawnee, driving away to make Michigan a hundred times prettier with their combined presence. Or the time the whole town came together to celebrate the phenomenon that was Li’l Sebastian with a memorial service that could have rivaled the Super Bowl halftime show. What about when Leslie and Ben started dating? Got engaged? Got married in front of the whole town? Okay, so crying isn’t exactly a new response to this show, but that’s one of the things that made it so lovable. The final episode of “Parks and Rec” wasn’t over-the-top or dramatic. It didn’t try to fit too much into too short of a time. “Parks and Rec” died as it lived: simple, sweet and uplifting. Its final half-season spent the first 11 episodes effectively, setting up the end of every storyline to pave the way for a simple, uncluttered finale. It was as if Amy Poehler and Michael Schur knew exactly what we needed, because they wrote an episode with the entire purpose of spending an hour
reassuring viewers that everything will, in fact, be OK once “Parks and Rec” is gone. As the time jumps to the 2020s, we see it all. April gives birth to Jack Ludgate-Dwyer in full Halloween makeup — did you expect anything less? — and is pregnant again two years later. Ron takes a job as the superintendent of the national park next to Pawnee. Tom Haverford loses his restaurant franchise to a poor economy but, with wife Lucy’s help, becomes the best-selling author of “Failure: An American Success Story.” Jerry dies the night of his 100th birthday after having been mayor of Pawnee for many, many years. Naturally, his name is misspelled on his tombstone. Rest in peace, Garry. Luckily for us Hoosiers, Ann, Chris, Leslie and Ben seem to be staying close. Chris is heading the admissions office at IU and Leslie, after having run for — and succeeding, of course, twice — governor of Indiana, receives an honorary degree from the University. It’s a Hoosier moment so sweet that you feel yourself getting choked up, until it’s announced the campus library will be named after Knope. In a moment that couldn’t be more “Parks and Rec,” we are on the verge of tears until the camera cuts to the honorary Hoosier, smiling through gritted teeth. “(Expletive), the library?” It’s moments such as these that “Parks and Recreation” was known for executing so well. Though it was never a TV giant with through-the-roof ratings, critically acclaimed writing or dramatic subplots, no other show on television so masterfully walked the line between comic and heartfelt. The writing was quick and smart, but every episode had its “aw” moments, too.
It didn’t hurt that the cast of characters was so lovable, either. The most tearjerking moment of the night might have actually been the credits, when familiar names scrolled against a backdrop of cast bloopers to “End of the Line” by the Traveling Wildburys. In that moment it was clear, more than ever, that this was a cast that loved its show, on- and off-camera, and loved each other. And, in turn, that only makes us fonder of the show. In her address to the students of IU in the final episode, Leslie underlines the importance of finding a team after graduation, just like she did. “Parks and Rec” wouldn’t have survived without the team of characters that were so brilliantly written we never even had to think about falling in love with each and every one — we just did. The team was made up of people that we, as viewers, never needed to aspire to be, because they were so relatable. Who doesn’t know an overbearing, overworked boss like Leslie who would do anything for anyone? Who doesn’t have a Chris Traeger, whose health obsession makes you want to handcuff him to a chair at JJ’s until he realizes he’s missing out on the best things in life (i.e. waffles)? Andy Dwyer is the goofy guy you’ve always loved. April’s that weird kid who never fit in in high school, and every office has a Garry. It will never be easy to say goodbye to something so well-loved, but it was time for “Parks and Rec.” It didn’t go out with a dramatic finish, but that wouldn’t have been right. It went out with smiles, hugs and an unspoken promise that this wasn’t the last time everyone would be together again. In Leslie Knope’s words, we loved “Parks and Rec,” and we liked it. Goodbye, team.

The underdog story retold ‘McFarland, USA’ A With “McFarland, USA,” Disney proves, once again, it does feel-good underdog stories better than anyone else. The film’s cast, led by an always-solid Kevin Costner, delivered in every scene. Costner plays the aptly named Jim White, who comes to southern California’s McFarland High after being fired for numerous bouts with his bad temper at other schools. He arrives at McFarland to coach football and teach life science. White is booted from his football position pretty early on, however, and realizes the boys are much better suited to be cross-country runners than football players. But don’t be fooled. This movie isn’t about Coach
White. The young actors who play the runners are characters with enough believable resiliency to leave even the most cynical moviegoer inspired. The writing is quick, allowing the dialogue the depth needed to illustrate the complex lives of these runners. Director Niki Caro did a great job of keeping the movie true to its core, which is about a community banding together to rally behind something hopeful. It’s about young marginalized peoples finding their strength in the face of a world that tells them their dreams are invalid. It’s easy for movies like these to play into a few simple tropes, all of which are more insulting to the audience than the next: PoorBrown-Kids-Trying-To-GetOut-of-the-Hood, followed by the classic Sports-Are-theOnly-Way-Out, succeeded only by the worst of them all,

PACIFIC
The White Savior. For those unfamiliar with the concept of the White Savior, it’s simple. It plays on the idea people of color are unable to save themselves from the poor conditions in which they live. It suggests minority characters are at the will of the white messiah and ultimately indebted to them for their eventual freedom/ success/happiness. I went into the film hyperaware of its thematically similar predecessors — “The Blind Side,”“Freedom Writers,” etc. I was prepared to be disappointed in its patronizing narrative choices. I couldn’t have been more wrong. “McFarland, USA” turns the story on its head. Time and time again the boys are the ones who save White. They save his job by sacrificing time and money by running for his team instead of working in the fields with their families, and they keep his family from

of steam with his face unrecognizable, seems to be a cry of insecurity. If Big Sean really feels like he has “made it to the skyscapers,” why is he hiding? The gems of “Dark Sky Paradise” are “Blessings,” featuring Drake and “One Man Can Change the World,” featuring John Legend and Kanye West. Sadly, the brilliance of these pieces comes primarily from the featured artists. In “Blessings,” the boastful words of Big Sean and Drake mix well together. The mellow vocals of John Legend complement Big Sean and West’s inspirational verses in “One Man Can Change The World.” Without the contributing artists, these tracks would not be nearly as memorable. “I Don’t Fuck With You,” is the lone party track on an album of primarily slower songs. The fact that this overly repetitive, immature song is the main representation of a project with much deeper tracks is telling of the amount of commercial growth Big Sean still needs to go through to become a real game-changer in hiphop culture. I’m rooting for Big Sean to reach those metaphorical skyscrapers one day, but for now I think he’s still pretty close to the ground. Nicole Krasean

falling apart by throwing his daughter a quinceañera after he forgets her birthday. But most importantly, they save themselves. After upsetting a few state-ranked white teams and seeing the boys can continue to work — as long as they go to the fields early and practice later — the community begins to rally behind the team. They have fundraisers for new uniforms and running shoes, build their program from the ground up, make sacrifice after sacrifice and work harder than any other team. That dedication eventually translates into the classroom. The people who inspired this movie never had a family member complete the ninth grade. All of these men made it to college. Now, don’t get me wrong, of course there are
Big Sean might have boarded his flight to rap paradise, but he hasn’t landed yet. Admittedly, the Detroit rapper delivers his best work yet with the release of his third album “Dark Sky Paradise” on Tuesday. Though Big Sean is able to attract listeners with his clean-cut verses and impressive collaborations, “Dark Sky Paradise” is not quite the masterpiece it could be. Big Sean had the potential to blow listeners away with some hardhitting verses over smoother background beats. Instead, the flows he delivers sound more like the angst-ridden poetry of a young man who just wants to be taken seriously by his older and more popular peers. That being said, Big Sean does create a successful theme for the album. Every song speaks either implicitly or explicitly about the journey he’s made to get to the charmed lifestyle he is currently enjoying. He uses lyrics about women, money and fame throughout the entire track list to try to convince his listeners he is indeed a front-runner in the rap game. I’m not convinced. On the contrary, I get the sense throughout the album Big Sean is unfulfilled and he still has a lot of respect to gain from his peers. Even the album cover, which shows Big Sean through a layer

‘Two and a Half Men’ D+ After 12 seasons, “Two and a Half Men” called it quits Feb. 19. When the show began so long ago, it was praised as well as frowned upon for its trailblazing comedy that didn’t shy away from controversy or political incorrectness. After Charlie Sheen, playing the selfreflecting character of Charlie Harper, was fired from the show’s production in 2011, “Two and a Half Men” was in some serious trouble. The show decided to cast Ashton Kutcher as Walden Schmidt, but Kutcher was never able fill the void Sheen left. Jon Cryer’s character, Alan Harper, lacked transformation by staying in debt and being the new leech to Walden. It seemed apparent nothing would change except that Walden would fill Charlie’s spot. The show would remain a play of two grown men acting like children. So many other storylines were possible to keep the laughs coming and the controversy flowing, but the one chosen became stale. The show seemed to live and die with Sheen. He was the driving force to the show’s success, and he and Cryer played off one another well. The cast of characters, the dynamic between Charlie and his mom, between him and the creepy lover/neighbor Rose — all of these story lines wove together to create a comedy that defied the cookie-cutter sitcom formula. I never stopped laughing when watching the show, until Kutcher came into the picture.

The only hope was the finale. Maybe, just maybe, the powers that be could create an agreement with Sheen and bring him back for a final episode. Maybe four years of bad television could be washed away just as quickly as Sheen was. No such luck. The final episode was 40 minutes of wasted film. Though the jokes poking fun at the awful turnover after Sheen left the show were funny, it was only a sorrowful reminder of what used to be and could have been. It seems the only way to end the show would be to bring back Charlie Harper. After all, he was the sole focus of the show, and every other character played off him. So we were teased maybe Sheen would make a reappearance, only to be given some guy who’s stature and hair cut could pull off looking like Charlie from behind. Then he was killed by a piano.
I guess the show really did live and die with Sheen, in more ways than one. While the ending was poetic in that it allowed Charlie Harper to finally die, the story line — every character running around as the brought-back-fromthe-dead Charlie threatened to kill them all — was just dragged out. Every time we turned around it was as if Sheen would be there, but he wasn’t. The silver lining was the ghosts of Charlie’s girlfriends past that brought the most fundamental characters back into the show, even if it was just for a split second. If you were a lover of the show, past or present, this is an episode that must be seen, just for a sense of closure if nothing else. “Two and a Half Men,” once a show that defied all sitcom stereotypes, was finally put to rest. May all its controversial comedy rest in peace. Allison Wagner

Stand-up comedian Adam DeVine performs Wednesday at IU Auditorium. DeVine is known for his roles on “Workaholics” and “Pitch Perfect.”
DeVine takes stage at IU By Alyson Malinger afmaling@indiana.edu | @Aly_Mali
Singing the theme song of ‘90s television show “Full House” to land a role in “Pitch Perfect” was one anecdote comedian Adam DeVine shared in his solo sketch show. Stand-up comedian and actor Adam DeVine performed Wednesday night at IU Auditorium. Most famous for his role on Comedy Central’s “Workaholics,” DeVine is the co-creater, writer and actor of the television show. Within a two-hour-long sketch show, DeVine succeeded in making it impossible for audience members to keep a straight face. DeVine shared an array of stories from the beginning of his stardom. From people first stopping him on the street to his journey into the comedy world, DeVine expressed his shock to the audience in each of these events. He started the show by asking the crowd questions,
allowing audience members to speak directly to him and participate in addition to his prepared material. “About 10 years ago, I wrote a check for a million dollars, and then I went and destroyed it later to make sure I didn’t come home one day to a gorgeous house,” DeVine said. Comedian Adam Ray opened the event with an hour-long sketch discussing topics from the outrageous menu found at Denny’s to the truth behind the stereotypes of the greek system at college. Ray is based out of Los Angeles and is good friends with DeVine. The comedy event was sponsored by Union Board in an attempt to appeal to the college audience. Deemed appropriate for mature audiences only, DeVine specializes in sarcastic, clever humor that most IU students seemed to appreciate. Audience members ranged from dire
“Workaholics” fans to “Pitch Perfect” fanatics, both excited to hear DeVine in his prime. Some people even wore “Free Karl” T-shirts to get in the mood for the night. Karl Hevacheck, the main character in “Workaholics,” is known as the “smartest guy everyone knows” who also serves as the drug dealer in the character cast. DeVine just wrapped production on three upcoming films including Nancy Meyer’s “The Intern,” Sony’s “Final Girls,” and Universal’s “Pitch Perfect 2.” “When I auditioned for ‘Pitch Perfect,’ I honestly thought it was for a baseball movie,” DeVine said sarcastically. In addition, he still has time to star in his comedy group, Mail Order Comedy, with other “Workaholics” stars based out of Los Angeles. The show was part of DeVine’s 2015 tour in which he made stops throughout North America.
The first time Nora Jane Struthers & The Party Line performed in Bloomington was at the 2014 Lotus World Music & Arts Festival. The group returns to Bloomington tonight to play at the Bishop Bar for the first night of touring in support of its new album, “Wake.” Supporting Struthers and her band is the local folk rock group Blind Uncle Harry. Struthers said she is excited to play her first club show in Bloomington after having played in a festival setting. “It seems like a place where we could actually build an audience,” she said. Anyone coming out to one of the band’s shows should expect to see something fresh, Struthers said. Though many musicians are capable of playing the same exact show night after night, she said she aims to be different. “I really tune in to the audience and try to create something with them and their energy,” Struthers said. The tour is going to be extensive, Struthers said. Her website lists a string of shows almost every day until May 21. Once May comes around, Struthers said the band will spend the summer playing festivals, hit the road again in the fall and more or less end the tour in December.

Nora Jane Struthers & The Party Line will perform at the Bishop Bar.
The band officially released its new album Tuesday. Struthers said she listened to the album while she drove from her house to shop for new stage clothes and other tour supplies. “I still like it, so that’s good,” Struthers said. “Wake” is a very different album from what she has done in the past, Struthers said. She is moving away from the folk-sounding “narrative-based story songs” of her previous albums and said this album is mostly composed of personal songs with a more rock ‘n’ roll sound. For the album’s writing, Struthers said she also tried a new method in which she didn’t allow herself to edit while she created the songs. “My personal musical journey has followed an American musical path,” she said about her sound.
Not many can say they’ve worked with high-profile actors such as Robin Williams, Harrison Ford and Mel Gibson. Award-winning director Peter Weir, however, can. Weir directed “Dead Poets Society” and “The Truman Show” with Jim Carrey that are not only remembered as prominent movies in film history but have also become household names. Weir will be on IU’s campus March 2-4 for a series of public talks as well as film screenings, according to an IU press release. “It’s a great opportunity to have Indiana University and IU Cinema host Peter Weir, who has created a rich, compelling and movingly accessible body of work over more than 40 years of filmmaking,” said Gregory Waller, a professor of film history in the Media School, in the release. Weir, who is originally from Australia, will be attending screenings of “Wit-
ness” and “Picnic at Hanging Rock,” after which he will take questions from the audience, according to the University. Weir’s films “Picnic at Hanging Rock” and “The Last Wave” helped put his home country on the international film scene for innovative cinema in the 1970s, Waller said in the release. On Weir’s last day at IU, he will speak on his film “Gallipoli,” which was inspired by World War I. The film will be shown free of charge and is part of IU’s “WWI: 100 Years Removed” film series, according to the University. “When I was asked by President McRobbie and Provost Robel to organize and coordinate the IU commemoration of World War I, we agreed to diversify ours to distinguish it from those at other academic institutions, where the focus has been mostly on scholarly matters,” said Andrea Ciccarelli, dean of the Hutton Honors College, in the release.
“Gallipoli” will be shown at 4 p.m. March 4, and IU President Michael McRobbie will Peter Weir introduce the film. “Once a film series was established at the IU Cinema and Peter Weir’s ‘Gallipoli’ was selected as part of the series, it became a logical conclusion to try to bring to our campus one of the most interesting, eclectic and acclaimed directors of our time,” Ciccarelli said in the release. The cinema will be showing several of Weir’s films in conjunction with his visit. “Peter Weir has consistently managed to create films that are at once ambitious character studies, fineturned narratives and beautifully detailed evocations of particular times and places,” he said in the release.

NEA Chair to attend IU arts symposium
Struther’s American musical path started with folk and ballads, she said, and she found herself moving to “old-time banjo music,” then to bluegrass, then to old country music and now to rock ‘n’ roll. Writing for “American Songwriter,” Jonathan Bernstein said Struther’s blend of genres creates a sound on the album that resembles “early Neko Case, the Jayhawks and, most strikingly, Kathleen Edwards.” “You can hear all those layers in our current sounds,” she said.

Jane Chu, IU alumna and chair of the National Endowment for the Arts, will join arts leaders from around the country at a symposium at 8:30 a.m. March 7 in Indianapolis. The event will take place in the Basile Auditorium at the Herron School of Art and Design on the IU-Purdue University Indianapolis campus. Chu has been chair of the NEA since June and formerly served as president and CEO of the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts in Kansas City, Mo. She earned her doctorate in philanthropic studies from the IU Lilly Family School of Philanthropy in Indianapolis. The theme of the symposium is “Community Engagement and Development Through the Arts.” It will be led by arts administration faculty at the IU-Bloomington School
of Public and Environmental Affairs. “This is a great way to honor the work of Dr. Chu and a chance to share the experiences and insights of arts leaders from across the U.S. whose work is directly tied to the quality of life and development of their cities and regions,” said Michael Rushton, SPEA director of arts administration programs at IU, in the IU Newsroom press release. Chu will speak about the direction of the NEA as it relates to creative place-making, including trends and plans for the future. Her address will follow a symposium with two panels. Rushton will moderate the second discussion on the role of arts supporters with two more panelists: Jennifer Cole, executive director of the Metro Nashville Arts Commission, and Karen Gahl-Mills, executive director of Cuyahoga Arts
and Culture in Cleveland. At the conclusion of the IUPUI symposium, Chu will travel to Jane Chu Bloomington for a visit to the Jacobs School of Music. She will attend a showing of “South Pacific.” Chu’s visit to Indiana will also include a meeting with all current NEA grantees in Indiana and a site visit to the Indianapolis Art Center with the Indiana Arts Commission, as well as meetings with SPEA IUPUI students and with the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy’s students, board of visitors, faculty and staff. The symposium event is open to the public, but organizers request attendees RSVP to Nancy Bell at soprsvp@iupui.edu by March 1. Lanie Maresh

Updating the high school drama genre ‘The DUFF’ B+
COURTESY OF CBS
‘Odd Couple’ returns ‘The Odd Couple’ CA remake of the 1970’s series “The Odd Couple” has made its way to television, this time starring Matthew Perry and Thomas Lennon. Based on a play written by Neil Simon, “The Odd Couple” has transcended generations with laughter through film and television. With the unlikely pair of Felix and Oscar, played by Lennon and Perry respectively, the show has once again reinvented itself. Oscar, the fun-loving, sloppy, ultra-masculine, dirty sports radio personality, has his life altered when his friend, an uptight, sensitive neat-freak named Felix, comes to stay with him. This is a formula for crazy antics and romantic escapades in the lives of these incompatible friends. The show has everything a sitcom is supposed to
have: two characters to play off one another, comedy that — while funny — does not offend anyone and a laugh track to let you know when the predictable jokes are supposed to be the punch lines. Though it might have been funny 45 years ago, “The Odd Couple” falls short in this 2015 rendition. The jokes were recycled and fit the sitcom formula of humor. They failed to test the boundaries and always fell in favor of making fun of the feminized Felix, who cleaned the house, made dinner and catered to the men watching sports. The men are polar opposites, as one represents the socially acceptable version of masculinity while the other represents the socially unacceptable version of a feminine man. Is it still funny when a man is concerned with keeping a house clean? Is it still funny that a man could be more interested in creating a recipe instead
of watching a basketball game? Unfortunately, yes. Then the jokes go on to say Felix’s wife left him because of his qualities, which we learn are all stereotypically feminine. And to make viewers even angrier, Felix decides to live with Oscar so he can be “fixed” and loved again. I rest my case. I will give the writers credit for trying to hide the feminine man and masculine man theme, but it seemed all but obvious when you really dug into the show. Another male-driven comedy that really isn’t funny — just what primetime television needed. I hope you sense my sarcasm. If you want to watch “The Odd Couple,” I suggest the film or original TV series. “The Odd Couple” was nothing but normal. Though the pairing might be odd, the story line was typical. Allison Wagner
We all love a Cinderella story. We love to see the black sheep of the herd transform. The ugly duckling becomes the beautiful swan. The peasant becomes the princess. We love Cinderella stories so much that Hollywood made a movie called “A Cinderella Story,” which spawned a franchise of other Cinderella stories, but with twists. We just can’t get enough of them, and that has hurt the genre. Instead of being inspirational, they are predictable. They are loaded canons waiting to launch pitiful clichés down your throat and tell you that you like it, because the girl gets the boy and her new sense of style will protect her from all future harassment. “The DUFF” approaches things differently. Meet Bianca, a high school oddball. She’s an honor student with a love for horror films who doesn’t put much thought into her wardrobe. Then, meet Bianca’s two best friends: Casey and Jess. Casey is a beautiful athlete. Jess is the overly sweet fashion queen. In another time, Bianca would never be caught dead with these two unless they were shoving her in a locker. This is what makes “The DUFF” a breath of fresh air. High school dramas have been telling us since we were children that high school is an organized system of social boxes. You have the jocks, the preps, the geeks and the goths. There is no way of changing or joining other boxes.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10
The truth is that system is long gone, and we would highly appreciate it if it would stay in the 1990s where we left it. Jocks can be smart. Preps can play video games. Geeks can actually have great eyesight and do, in fact, know what a football is. Goths listen to Taylor Swift. “The DUFF” acknowledges this social change and allows its characters to break out of their boxes, making them more relatable and likeable. That doesn’t mean that the movie avoids all labels or the need to fit in. When Bianca is called a DUFF, Designated Ugly Fat Friend, she becomes desperate to drop the label and find a place for herself in the crazy world of high school. She enlists the help of her childhood friend, Wesley, a football star failing science. They work out a deal: Bianca helps him pass science, he makes her dateable. This leaves room for some hilarious high school antics and witty dialogue between these polar opposite characters. And, of course, it allows time for chemistry to build between them and form a relationship you can’t even be annoyed with by the end of the film. Yes, there are clichés in “The DUFF.” There are predictable moments. But they are the kinds of clichés and predictable moments you need in order for it to be a high school drama. And they are handled in ways that make them less exhausting and more fun.
shortcomings. There are times when the plot is a little too simple, too predictable. If you’ve ever watched a Disney sports movie before — see “Remember the Titans”, especially — you can more or less call what’s going to come next. First, the main character will reveal the deep, dark secret that drives his or her dedication — or reluctance — to the game. Then, the coach will have to decide whether dealing with the additional social pressures of leading a team outside their normal environment is worth it. Finally, after overcoming all of that, tragedy will happen just when everything starts getting good, and the hopeful team’s chance at the championship is thrown. These plot points are pretty much unavoidable, but as far as “McFarland” is concerned, they’re navigated well. Even in a family-centric film like this, I didn’t feel as though I was being patronized. I felt, for the first time in a long while, represented. As a black person, I know how rare it is to see faces that look like mine on screen — let alone in stories that reflect our struggles as well as our successes. It’s even more rare to see Latino-driven films. And it’s crucial for people of color to continue to receive representation like this in commercial media. For this reason alone, “McFarland” runs ahead of the pack. Even the title was a deliberate move on Disney’s part. In calling the film “McFarland, USA,” as opposed to the more local and obvious choice, “McFarland, Calif.,” we’re taking a small-town underdog story and dipping it in the American Dream. This movie hammers home one lasting message for moviegoers: America wasn’t built for the people of McFarland, but by God, they will make it theirs.
