Men’s swimming and diving wins program’s 25th Big Ten Title

By Ben Portnoy bmportno@indiana.edu | @bportnoy15

The Hoosiers are Big Ten champions once again.

The No. 4-ranked IU men’s swimming and diving team went wire-towire to win its 25th Big Ten title in program history and first since 2006.

IU finished with 1,504 points, and Ohio State and Michigan tied for second with 1,382 points.

“Winning that team title was just a special moment in the entire team’s careers,” diving coach Drew Johansen said. “Everybody put forth unbelievable efforts across the board, and we had such a great team energy there this past week that took us to the title.”

The Hoosiers seized momentum right from the start of the championships by sweeping the 200-yard medley relay and the 800 freestyle relay Wednesday night. Ultimately, IU would win four of the five relays.

It was the first time in school history that had been accomplished.

“That kind of showing in the relays was something I have never seen until this point, and the coaches have said that it was really impressive feat,” junior swimmer Blake Pieroni said.

As for individual performances, sophomore Vini Lanza was stellar for the Hoosiers. Lanza was named swimmer of the championships after winning four gold medals and a silver. Lanza’s swim in the 200-yard butterfly was his most noteworthy, as the Brazilian’s time of 1:40.97 broke the event records for IU and McCorkle Aquatic Center at Ohio State.

It was also the first Big Ten title for the Hoosiers in the event since 1985.

“Vini is really good, and he’s only going to get better,” IU Coach Ray Looze said. “When you have a guy like Blake Pieroni that has a really good meet, and another guy wins swimmer of the championships, that’s a good thing.”

Pieroni, senior Bob Glover and sophomore Ian Finnerty also had impressive weeks. Glover took home the 200-yard backstroke on the final day of competition in a personal-best time of 1:41.25 and also received the Big Ten Sportsmanship Award.

Track and field wins another Big Ten title Saturday

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

The IU men’s track and field team defeated the best athletes the Big Ten had to offer throughout the weekend on its way to becoming the conference’s indoor champions for the first time in half a decade.

The Hoosiers ran away with the competition early on after taking a lead on day one. IU finished with a final team score of 112 and defeated runner-up Penn State by 28 points.

IU took home many individual championships, and an abundance of Hoosiers set personal records. IU Coach Ron Helmer said his team met its goals for the weekend.

“The reality of it is that it’s an incredibly difficult thing to do,” Helmer said. “Our athletes proved capable of having what it takes to pull this off, so from a professional standpoint, it was very gratifying for me.”

IU won Big Ten gold in five events and had many Hoosiers make the podium or finish just outside the top three. Helmer called the conference meet one of the most outstanding weekends he’s ever been part of.

Sophomore Willie Morrison capped off his winning season by posting a career-best throw of 19.79 meters in the shot put. He broke the IU record and became a Big Ten champion. Fellow sophomore David Schall also helped the team out by finishing seventh in the same event.

Sophomore jumpers Eric Bethea and Treyton Harris also captured Big Ten gold medals. After taking bronze in the triple jump last season, Bethea returned this year and won the event with a distance of 15.95 meters.

Harris set a personal record of 7.71 meters and won the long jump.

He followed up that performance by taking second in the high jump.

Junior Daniel Kuhn won the 600-meter run for the second consecutive year. His time of 1:15.23 is the fifth-fastest indoor 600-meter time ever run. Kuhn set a new IU and Big Ten record even after he had to qualify and run in the distance medley relay the day before.

“Things like that aren’t supposed to happen on your third race of the weekend,” Helmer said.

A woman whose friends call her Miss B stood in front of the Statehouse steps Saturday afternoon and yelled at a cardboard cutout of Sen. Todd Young, R-Indiana.

“I would just ask you to grow a pair,” she said.

Miss B, otherwise known as Melissa Biddinger, came from Bloomington on Saturday to join about 200 protesters in Indianapolis. The rally was organized by Our Revolution Indy, a coalition that sprang from Sen. Bernie Sanders’, I-Vermont, campaign for president. Attendees came to protest the repeal of former President Barack Obama’s health care act, held up signs, and endured the snow and harsh wind.

Rex Riddle, an event coordinator, said he invited Young to attend the rally and hear his constituents’ concerns, but the congressman was a no-show. Instead, protesters got the chance to vent their frustrations at his cardboard cutout after speakers riled them up.

“He was invited,” Riddle said. “I want that on the record. We think that’ll send a message to him that he should hold himself accountable.”

Several speakers and attendees alluded to the fact that Young never seems to be available to hear his constituents’ concerns.

“Has anyone seen Todd?” one protester yelled.

“Todd Young, here I come. Why have you been AWOL?” someone responded.

As Congress moves through a bill that will repeal “Obamacare,” news outlets and concerned constituents speculate how many people will lose insurance and even die as a result.

They worry Republicans don’t have an adequate replacement plan ready to go.

Bloomberg Businessweek reports that according to a presentation given to state governors during the weekend the repeal would cause tens of thousands of people to lose coverage due to not being able to afford it. A Washington Post headline says repealing “Obamacare” will kill more than 43,000 people every year.

“People will die,” said Cheryl Laux of Organizing for Action, a nonprofit that pushes Obama’s agenda. “This is not funny. People will die.”

The crowd was rowdy and interactive as they broke out in chants, yelled and booed.

One protester’s sign said “GOP plan = get sick die early.” Another read, “American workers deserve affordable health care.”

Haley Holdaway, 35, and her 8-year-old daughter, Riley, both came with signs. Riley’s said “Save the ACA.” She made it herself.

Haley said they watch the news a lot in their household, and Riley was curious why so many people were protesting. The Indianapolis resident told her daughter she was going to the rally with grandpa and asked if Riley wanted to come.

“We’re very frustrated with what’s happening,” said Haley, who held a “Repeal and replace Trump” sign.

Emcee Rosie Bryant started the speeches off with a chant to the crowd.

“Are you guys ready?” she yelled.

“Tell me what democracy looks like.”

“This is what democracy looks like,” the crowd chanted back.

“We are here to resist, and we will not stop until we are heard,” Bryant said.

Triwizard Tournament comes to campus The Triwizard Tournament began early Sunday evening in Woodburn Hall when the Harry Potter Society at IU met for the first task of the competition.

The tournament, in the “Harry Potter” book and movie series, is a competition between three schools — Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang — in the wizard world.

Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang champions compete against the others in a set of potentially deadly tasks.

The Harry Potter Society at IU is replicating the tournament, albeit without the potentially deadly parts.

The club’s Promotional Officer, Daniel Gayda or “Danieldore,” said he knew the idea wouldn’t be easy but was going to be amazing if they could do it.

In Woodburn Hall, Gayda and others sat in desks while they were waiting on other students to enter.

The room eventually began to fill as people, most with wands in their hands, arrived.

There was a quick attendance and wand check, and the house points were read aloud: Gryffindor was in fourth place with 1193 points, Slytherin was in third with 1348

Feminist students perform monologues

By Sarah Verschoor sverscho@iu.edu | @SarahVerschoor

A black tarp hung low to cover the blackboard. Two black lamps illuminated six performers as they stood in front of a dark lecture hall.

Classes had ended, but people filled Woodburn 003 Friday evening, and they were talking. They were talking about vaginas.

“My vagina is angry,” said performer Hayley Kwasniewski, throwing her hands in the air as she performed a monologue. “It’s pissed off.

My vagina is furious, and it needs to talk.”

The Feminist Student Association organized the performance of Eve Ensler’s “The Vagina Monologues” on Friday and Saturday night.

Proceeds from ticket sales were donated to the Middle Way House. Around 50 people attended the Friday night performance.

Six women performed pieces from “The Vagina Monologues,” an Obie Award-winning play based on interviews Ensler had with more than 200 women. The monologues tell women’s stories of sex, love, assault, birth and more.

The six actresses were former IU student Georgia Boonshoft and IU students Hayley Kwasniewski, Thea Bransby, Patricia O’Brian, Stephanie Whitlock and Caroline Hewitt. Hewitt is a copy editor at the IDS. Tessa Huber, a student, directed the performance.

Kwasniewski performed “My Angry Vagina,” which spoke out against the routine things women must go through including using tampons, going to the gynecologist and wearing thongs.

“Let’s just begin with tampons,” Kwasniewski said.

“What the hell is that? A dry

wad of fucking cotton stuffed up there.”

Kwasniewski, pacing the front and gesturing rapdily as she described how women hate going to the gynecologist, continued.

“Why the flashlight all up there like Nancy Drew working against gravity?” she said. “Why the mean, cold duck lips they shove inside you? What is that?”

“Reclaiming Cunt,” a different monologue, detailed one woman’s goal to transform people’s perception of the slur into something more positive.

Event organizer Margaret Hoffman said FSA puts this show on every year to get people talking openly about vaginas. She had been busy all last week preparing and Friday carrying the lamps across campus to set up for the show.

“We never talk about what it’s like to actually have a vagina,” Hoffman said.

“Vaginas are normal. It’s odd we’re not talking about them more.”

In general, Hoffman said people don’t talk about their genitals, and high school sexual education classes

don’t do enough to teach women about the anatomy of vaginas. Through these performances, Hoffman said the goal was to normalize the discussion.

A change to this year’s performance included the decision not to perform a monologue about a transgender person because they could not find a trans performer and did not want to cast a cisgendered person in the role, Hoffman said.

Throughout the show, the audience laughed at the pieces, especially those that spoke to everyday troubles

Phi Kappa Sigma supports IUPD

By Larmie Sanyon lsanyon@indiana.edu @LarmieSanyon

Snowflakes fell on the parking lot as IU Police Department’s chief, Laury Flint, and Phi Kappa Sigma’s philanthropy commitee scurried around preparing for their philanthropy event by cutting pies, running out to buy more drinks and trying to find an outlet for the speaker.

The fundraiser was created to honor Keith Cash, a former IUPD officer and chief who died in 2013.

Grant Kaufman, an IU senior and the fraternity’s philanthropy chair, said he got the inspiration for the event from alumni who knew Cash.

“Originally our alumni came down for homecoming, and they talked about how, in the past, they used to hang out with an officer named Keith Cash,” Kaufman said.

Kaufman said he felt a little disheartened the

relationship with the police department has dwindled, so he decided to reach out to IUPD and reestablish the relationship. Kaufman contacted Sgt. Brian Oliger, who is in charge of programs and schedules at IUPD, and explained his fraternity’s relation to Cash and its desire to honor him.

“We have never had anything like that happen at our department,” Oliger said.

He said he was very excited about the idea to work with Phi Kappa Sigma. He collaborated with Kaufman to find an appropriate time and way to raise money.

They agreed on selling tickets to the event, but Kaufman said he wasn’t initially sure where the profits would go.

Kaufman said his fraternity knew it wanted to honor Cash but didn’t know the best way to do so.

“I thought I wanted the cause to go somewhere a little more close to home,” Kaufman said. “So we are

going to create a scholarship or memorial fund in memory of Keith Cash.”

Oliger said the fraternity did most of the organizing and got other greek organizations to be part of the event. As a former IU student and IUPD cadet, Oliger said he was really honored to know the young men cared.

Not everyone there knew Cash. The recent graduates and fraternity members, like Zach Jones, were too young. Jones is the alumni association president and said although Cash was before his time he knew of his relationship with the fraternity.

Trent Van Emon, an IU alumnus and member of Phi Kappa Sigma, knew Cash from his time working with the University, IUPD and with his fraternity. He said he and some of his fraternity brothers had a good relationship with Cash and cadets from time at IU and working out in the gym.

“He kept a really good

relationship between the houses and the police department,” Van Emon said.

“He was just a really great guy all around that worked with us, so it was hard to hear that he was gone and passed away. It’s good to come down here and see an event like this for him.”

The fraternity’s president and IU sophomore, Jake Olson, said he hoped to turn this gathering into an annual philanthropy event.

He said he sees hope for an annual event because their goal was $2,000 and they exceeded it by more than $500.

“Something someone told me one time was that there are two very important things in life: the last time that your name is said by yourself and the last time that your name is ever said by someone else,” he said.

“We want to make sure that Keith Cash is remembered for a very long time for all the great things he did for the community.”

of being a woman, but not all the monologues were humorous. One — “The Little Coochie Snorcher That Could” — detailed a teenage girl’s experience with being assaulted by her father’s best friend.

The show ended with a monologue about the birth of Ensler’s granddaughter.

Ensler, the show’s creator, was in the room as the baby was born. It highlighted Ensler’s awe and reverence she felt witnessing the birth.

Freshman Alexia Barraza attended the show with her friends Madelaine Withers

and Moira Kehoe as a part of their Friday night outing.

Barraza said she cried, especially during the childbirth monologue. She said she felt every emotion of the show.

All said they agreed the performance was powerful.

“It reminded us that we’re not alone,” Withers said.

After Saturday’s performance, FSA had personal monologues at the Bishop Bar. FSA members and others who were interested performed their own monologues detailing their stories.

IFC president sits down for question and answer session

By Larmie Sanyon lsanyon@indiana.edu | @LarmieSanyon

Andrew Cowie is the president of IU’s Interfraternity Council. IFC oversees 30 fraternities, and its members include representatives from 30 fraternities. Cowie is a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon and sat down with the Indiana Daily Student to discuss his job and the community he not only belongs to but also helps govern.

IDS: What have you learned and accomplished since becoming president?

Cowie: The first month and a half have been pretty busy. We attended a national leadership conference for all IFCs across the country. We changed how we scheduled our weekly president meetings. We have set up roundtables for chapter presidents to discuss the issues their chapters face.

IDS: What do you still hope to accomplish?

Cowie: I still hope to accomplish the chapter evaluation plan, allowing for each chapter to share with the community in order to find areas of improvements. To understand how we as an IFC executive board can act as a resource to improve. I think really trying to get this chapter

evaluation plan up and running.

The vice presidents and myself on executive board have been coming up with questions. It will target 12 to 15 categories from leadership structure to senior leadership in the fraternity to look at each of the chapters within these categories and from that we are going to give an assessment to each chapter. We are going to say here’s what you are doing really well, and here’s what we want you to keep doing.

IDS: What challenges do you face as president and how do you balance being a fraternity member and being in charge?

Cowie: I think the most important thing is communication, being able to communicate effectively knowing when you have to have moments, knowing when it’s relaxing-with-the-guys time or stepping up to be a leader.

It’s about making those conscious decisions and being able to communicate most effectively when you do it.

IDS: What has IFC done to bolster its anti-hazing policies this semester?

Cowie: This semester we took a very proactive approach when reviewing each SEE Q&A, PAGE 3

Brynn Edelcup and Corinne Levy present their case to the judges of IU’s Human Resource Association’s first annual case competition. Students must identify issues in a mock case and provide possible solutions to them.

SPEA holds first case competition

By Rachel Leffers rleffers@indiana.edu | @rachelleffers

Some IU students spent this past Friday outside enjoying the unusually warm weather, others tried to determine whether a fictitious company’s decision to terminate an employee was justifiable.

This mock case was presented to participants, who competed for $25 Visa gift cards, in the Human Resources Association’s first annual Human Resources Case Competition. Participants in case competitions try to develop the best solution to a business or education-related study within a certain time.

The competition took place throughout the day at the School of Public and Environmental Affairs, with registration beginning at 8:15 a.m. and awards ending at 4 p.m.

good time.”

Students read the case they were given, identified the problematic actions that were taken while dealing with the potential termination of the employee and determined solutions for these actions.

Some of the issues students identified were inconsistent and contradictory policies the company had, lack of clarification within the company’s policies and the lack of employee training and development programs.

Using a format that is typical for case competitions, students were all given the same case, questions and template for their final presentation.

Although they were provided with the same information, each group presented different issues when speaking in front of the judges.

Each group had 20 minutes to present the issues they found and the actions they believe should have been taken by human resources to resolve these issues and answer any questions the judges

had for them about their solutions.

SPEA lecturer Daniel Grundmann, who was one of the case competition judges, said he was proud of the students’ presentations because they touched on almost all of the issues he saw in the case.

“It’s the kind of stuff that makes me realize why I do what I do.” Grundmann said to the students. “There are so many great faculty here, and you’re a reflection of that. The work you did was fantastic.”

Last year, some members of the organization attended the Society for Human Resource Management’s case competition, but they were unable to this year. Cole said to be inclusive of all their members and other students not in HRA or SPEA, they decided to have an in-house competition.

Cole said he and HRA’s other executive board members were pleased with the turnout for Friday’s competition, which consisted of seven teams with three to four

members each. Some participants created teams with friends in their classes while others were paired with teammates by emailing the organization and expressing their interest in the competition, Cole said.

HRA is a student organization that primarily works within IU’s SPEA. The organization’s goal is to give students who are working toward careers in human resources the experience to develop their skillsets, Cole said.

The organization meets bimonthly to discuss relevant issues and current events, such as politics, policies and trends within the HR field.

Cole said he’s excited about the competition’s success because it’s something the organization will be able to keep doing in the future.

“As a club, I think we were formed six or seven years ago, and we’ve just grown so much every year,” Cole said, “This is the first time we’ve held a case competition and it’s been a huge success.”

The IU Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps at IU received the 2016 General Douglas MacArthur Award according to an IU press release on Feb. 20.

The award goes to the best ROTC program in the 7th Brigade, which consists of Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan and Tennessee.

The award is intended to recognize duty, honor and country, according to an IU press release.

This is the first time IU has been the recipient of the award, which is presented by the U.S. Army Cadet Command and the General Douglas MacArthur Foundation.

“I’m incredibly proud of all of the cadets and cadre in our program,” said Lt. Col. Todd Burkhardt, director and professor of military science at IU Bloomington, in the release. “I want to thank IU for the amazing support that it provides to our program, which truly sets the conditions for our success.”

The award is based on the GPAs of the cadets, the achievement of the school’s commissioning mission, the cadets’ standing on the command’s National Order of Merit List, the cadets’ retention rates, Ranger Challenge competitions, Army training and physicality and the 7th Brigade commander’s assessment and evaluation of the program overall, according to the release.

Cowie: The biggest stereotype is that people join these organizations just to party or to be able to live in a giant house, if it’s a housed organization. What people may not see is the philanthropic benefits that comes with it and the strong sense of brotherhood

“There are many outstanding programs in the 7th Brigade, all providing students a distinct opportunity to serve their country as an officer in the U.S. Army, Army Reserves or Army National Guard,” said Col. Lance Oskey, brigade commander at the U.S. Army Cadet Command, in the release. “However, this year the top ROTC program in the brigade is Indiana University.”

According to the release, IU has 110 cadets. IU has 24 seniors who will commission and who have all received the military assignment they have asked for.

Eight out of the 24 senior cadets were considered to be in the top 20 percent, and four of the eight were considered in the top 10 percent of the country.

Thirty-three percent of IU’s Army ROTC senior class is in the top 20 percent nationwide, and 17 percent is in the top 10 percent, according to the release.

“I am thrilled for IU Army ROTC and proud of the wonderful work of Lt. Col. Todd Burkhardt and his team,” said Lauren Robel, IU Bloomington provost and executive vice president, in the release. “They continue IU’s long tradition of military training, which began in 1840 and is one of the oldest programs of its kind in the country.”

EDITORIAL BOARD

Globalization harms Latin American countries By the time this article runs I will be in the air on a flight toward Buenos Aires to study abroad through the School for International Training. I will finally be ditching the relentless Orwellian propaganda operation that has become United States politics.

This may come as a shock, but there indeed exists a vibrant planet outside Trump television. In Argentina I will be immersed in a country that has a stunning political history: Spanish colonization, a struggle for industrialization, the famed leader Juan Perón, a violent dictatorship, to total economic collapse in 2001.

However, Argentina struggles alongside other Latin American nations in a world consumed in the identity crisis of globalization.

Since its economic collapse, Argentina has initiated democratic reform that would stun citizens of the U.S. After popular social movements triggered the government’s fall, a new national-popular government assimilated workerowned factories into the government, prosecuted human rights abusers from the military dictatorship and opposed U.S. foreign policy actions like the Iraq War. To understand how we found ourselves in a world of far-right know-nothings, extreme inequality and social decay, we need not go further than the recent history of globalization and particularly the passing of the North American Free Trade Agreement. Though forgotten, NAFTA was initially to be passed in secret during the 1992 U.S. presidential election, but public outcry protracted the legislative battle for more than a year. The long-term effects of NAFTA were well known then — simply look at the class-conscious New York

Lucas Robinson is a senior in English and political science.

Times articles from that period.

However, our public discourse concerning NAFTA misses the crucial parts of its structural design. In 1992 the New York Times described a “Paradox of ‘92” in the U.S. economy, where low-growth coexisted alongside enormous record profits. Though it seems like a paradox, this is the traditional developing world economic model that exists in the U.S. and Europe to this day, and it’s the economic arrangement etched into stone by NAFTA. The consequences weren’t just wage stagnation and immigration. These trade deals have eroded democratic institutions because decision-making power has been transferred to private corporations and not a democratic state.

This new phase of globalization is not singular to the Trump phenomena of the U.S. Around the world disaffected populations support right-wing strongmen, each of whom channels popular anger towards immigrants, drug dealers and foreign enemies, yet somehow ignore the system of capitalist globalization.

There are striking commonalities among Trump, Vladimir Putin of Russia, Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, Shinzo Abe of Japan, Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines, and Narendra Modi of India. The problems facing humanity don’t differ nation by nation, but if we continue to let the forces of reaction undermine our need to collectively organize, we will never remedy the great sickness at the heart of globalization. luwrobin@umail.iu.edu

NO HOT TAKES

Abortion debates should be based in science After spending only a short amount of time following the United States’ abortion debate, it’s easy to spot the supposed injuries that will grace a woman who chooses to abort a fetus.

Prominent ideas include that having an abortion increases the risk of breast cancer, leads to death or induces irreparable trauma emotionally and psychologically.

All of these are myths.

Legislation backed by these unscientific ideas should be punishable at state and federal levels.

Experts at the American Cancer Society find medical abortions are not linked to breast cancer. Research published in the peer-reviewed Obstetrics and Gynecology journal concludes mortality risks for carrying a pregnancy to term are higher than those from having an abortion. A cohort study from the Jornal of the American Medical Association Psychiatry finds the only psychological consequences related to abortion come from being denied access to one.

Anti-abortion organizations have no such scientific research to present. These groups are the fuel for legislation attacking abortion rights.

Some governments have already taken it upon themselves to halt the spread of ignorance among non-governmental groups.

The French parliament approved a bill Feb. 16 that would punish websites fronting as government-affiliated groups that purposefully disseminate false information on abortion in the form of a €30,000 ($31,684.50) fine and up to two years in prison, according to the Washington Post.

While the anti-abortion groups branded the bill as an attack on their freedom of speech, French minister for women’s rights Laurence Rossignol said anti-choice groups can continue to tout

their unscientific claims if they “sincerely say who they are, what they do and what they want.”

By inciting a similar measure with a scientific standard, legislators sympathizing with such anti-choice groups wouldn’t be able to act under the façade of helping women with their bills.

Their cause would become publicly noticed as unethical, laughable and explicitly misogynistic.

Despite its importance, politicians constantly attack the right to abortion with vigor. What’s more, a scientific standard in legislative bodies seems unimaginable. If government officials can’t act like adults when it comes to global warming and climate change, there’s no reason to think they would be rational about abortion.

This goal is lofty, but it’s necessary for uncovering anti-choice legislation for what it is: misogynistic. Just as politics did away with invoking social Darwinism when such evidence became known as obviously unscientific, it should handle abortion similarly.

Abortion opposition is an insidious ramification of hatred, skepticism and distrust toward women. Its purpose is not to help women, but to revoke their bodily, reproductive and sexual autonomy.

When it comes to the medical issue of abortion, legislators should only be able to act using information from peer-reviewed and credible scientific research.

Without hiding behind false information, baseless arguments suggesting that women don’t have the right to make choices about their own bodies will be all that’s left. jsbourkl@umail.iu.edu

Jumping toward space travel We should take care of Earth before we extend to the stars According to NASA, humanity has seven new possibly livable planets to dream about inhabiting.

Before you get your bag ready for an “Interstellar”like journey, the Editorial Board has something for you to consider. The space travel excitement is a little premature. Our current planet has larger problems to handle before we make plans to inhabit other worlds. Namely, we need to invest in curbing climate change to sustain life on Earth.

First of all, NASA believes the system of planets may orbit a dwarf star that is 40 light years away. Because we cannot travel anywhere near the speed of light yet, that’s a little far-fetched for the Editorial Board.

Forty light years roughly translates to 235 trillion miles, which would take us just over 11 thousand years to traverse with current technology.

Furthermore, NASA seems more focused on finding alien life than finding humans a new planet to inhabit.

Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator of NASA’s Science Mission Directorate, said that “Answering the question ‘are we alone?’ is a top science priority” shortly after the exoplanets were found.

This discovery reminds us on Earth that we are likely not alone or special.

While this is all exciting, it’s kind of hard to be completely excited when you think about the state of our own planet.

The Portland Press Herald reported that global warming is linked to the shrinkage of the Colorado River. With rising temperatures, precipitation is happening less and more states are experiencing drought.

Yes, it is important to fund space travel and exploration,

but if we don’t first take care of the issues at hand, we will really need to leave Earth and find a new home.

It’s hard to believe that President Trump is quick to fund and support NASA, which for all he knows could be making up its data, yet he won’t do the same for climate change — something most respected scientists agree on.

We can applaud Trump for his ideas of expanding NASA’s scope. While campaigning last October, Trump said “I will free NASA from the restriction of serving primarily as a logistics agency for low earth orbit activity.”

With this expansion, he hopes to create more jobs and further space exploration. This is great and all, but we wish he had the same sort of passion for things rooted on Earth.

We want to be a likable species who takes care of its planet so that if aliens ever do make contact with us, they

won’t want to immediately vaporize us.

In order to do that, we need to be mindful of the well-being of Earth, the wellbeing of each other, and the well-being of ourselves. Its crunch time on Earth and something needs to be done.

Think about how much you have enjoyed the weather these past few weeks.

Warm, sunny and clean air makes us all happier people, but at a cost.

Remember that we’ve been enjoying this weather in the middle of February. Remember that on Valentine’s Day, a lot of us didn’t need love to warm us up when the weather was already in the 60s.

Instead of looking at these seven planets as a backup plan, we should look at them as a goal in the distant future.

We can hope to reach them one day, but we need to focus more on keeping our home planet healthy.

CONVERSATIONS WITH KATE

Hashtag campaign promotes body positivity When I first saw a headline about #disabledandcute, my mind flashed to Otto the cat, an internet sensation diagnosed with a feline form of Down syndrome.

Like most cats, Otto is cute, but the captions on the viral photos are remarkably less cute and convey stale messages of inspiration such as “he’s no different than any other cat!”

I figured #disabledandcute would offer a similar blanket message. However, my initial assumptions about #disabledandcute could not have proven more wrong. In reality, the social media campaign is an unapologetic celebration of body positivity for people with disabilities. The body positivity movement has long needed to be more inclusive, and this hashtag is a great example of the kind of inclusion that more body positivity campaigns should strive to embrace.

The hashtag started with

Keah Brown, a 25-year old journalist with cerebral palsy.

She posted photos with the hashtag as a celebration of her own body, and “cute” was her self-chosen descriptor.

Since then, the trend has spread throughout the disability community. Instead of feeling pressure to crop their selfies in a particular way, people are free to include wheelchairs, prosthetics or paralyzed limbs in the frame if they so choose – a concept not commonly addressed in body positivity campaigns.

A related phenomenon has transpired in the modeling industry over the past few years. There has been an increase in the number of models with disabilities, which drew particular attention at New York Fashion Week in 2016. Several prominent TV commercials have also featured kids with Down syndrome in the past year.

Reports on this more inclusive modeling trend tend

toward inspirational, feelgood stories, which make these efforts a bit suspicious as a marketing tool. In many cases, companies seem to use the model’s disability, rather than the model themselves, as the advertising strategy.

However, even if the rhetoric tends to be patronizing, the increased diversity in modeling also represents increased visibility in the industry. It not only marks the entrance of people with disabilities into this traditionally exclusive profession but also indicates changing attitudes, which can lead to more widespread changes in the long run.

The campaign shows the importance of incorporating visible representations of disability in mainstream culture.

The TV and film industries need to avoid selecting nondisabled actors to play disabled characters whenever possible just as the modeling industry needs to work toward not rejecting models

solely on the basis of their disability.

Brown, in an interview with Teen Vogue, critiqued “the caricatures that (people) see in movies and TV shows.”

People don’t look the same or have the same self-image solely because they have related types of disabilities.

The #disabledandcute campaign pushes against such archetypes, reinforcing the necessity of self-definition.

As a result, anyone who participates in the campaign is free define themself as “cute,” as Brown chooses to, but no one has to be cute or adhere to any else’s definition of cuteness. This element of the campaign shows perhaps the most important part of an inclusive body positivity movement — the ability to choose one’s own self-image. kmilvert@umail.iu.edu

Annexation area two citizens criticize project

By Emily Ernsberger emelerns@indiana.edu | @emilyerns

This is the second in a weekly five-part series profiling each of the seven areas proposed for annexation of the city of Bloomington. This week covers area two, the south east area.

In more than three weeks since annexation was proposed, Bloomington’s possible future residents still have a difficult time deciding how they feel about being in official city limits.

Mayor John Hamilton proposed the addition of seven areas, totaling 10,000 acres and 15,000 people, in and around the city of Bloomington last month, These seven areas, which are currently unincorporated, would be official parts of the city. City services do not currently extend to these areas, though Bloomington is the closest municipality to the people in the proposed annexation areas.

Hamilton said at his public proposal Feb. 3 the annexation “will allow all those households and businesses in the community to be a part of the same future of Bloomington.”

The south east area will bring 3,382 new residents and 23 miles of county roads to the city.

Area two includes Bloomington, Benton, Salt Creek and Perry townships.

Everyone in the annexed areas will see property tax increases, reaching as high as $2.39 annually compared to $1.48 now. City transpor-

tation tax levies onto these annexed areas will reach $0.0346.

Annexing area two will cost between $8.5 million and $13.1 million in the first year, with increases down to $3.2 million in the following three years.

Tax revenues from area two will bring in $2.3 million in the first year and increase up to $3 million in the following three years after. The costs for all areas will come from tax revenues and bonds.

Matt Nussbaum, a resident of the area around Fox Chase Run, said residents in his neighborhood have been emailing back and forth as to what they think about annexation. Many, including him, have not made a strong opinion about the proposal because there is not enough information available in the 321 page financial implication report, he said.

“The bottom line is what’s the financial implication,” he said. He said he also wants to know if the city will force him and other residents of annexed areas to eventually be put onto city water. Residents of annexed areas use mostly septic systems.

Fellow Fox Chase Run area resident Judy Wiser also criticized the report as being too much for people to sift through in order to find what the effects of annexation will be. Accessibility of clear information is the biggest hangup in each of them forming a full opinion on whether or not they

Top Matt Nussbaum says he doesn’t know enough about the annexation to have an opinion about it, but he would like to know how it will affect his taxes and septic tank. Nussbaum and the rest of the Fox Chase neighborhood in zone two of the proposed annexation would like to have more information on how it will specifically affect their zone before they form opinions.

Bottom Judy Wiser from zone two of the proposed annexation says Bloomington needs to have a well-thought-out plan and would appreciate having sidewalks built in her zone. She voiced concerns about how much influence individuals will have.

are in favor of annexation.

In partnership with Reedy Financial Group, a company that does government finance research assistance, the city published a 321-page financial projection report, breaking down how much each of the areas will cost and will bring in through taxes and spelling out circuit breaker overlaps and sewer line remonstrances. However, the precise effects of taxes on individuals and the Monroe County budget have been unclear or corrected at previous city council meetings. At a city council meeting Feb. 15, various council members admitted to not reading it.

“It’s like when you check the ‘yes’ box when you download something,” Wiser said. Both Wiser and Nussbaum said they had not read the report either.

Wiser and her husband Jeff said they are looking forward to the potential benefits, such as sidewalks, possible city-wide broadband, maintenance to Rhoher Road and city transit.

“I have no problem paying for the services I receive,” she said. “I just want to know how much it will really cost.”

Wiser’s biggest criticism, which many county officials have also made in the previous weeks, is the project is rolling out too quickly and is being pushed to get done much earlier than the implementation date. Hamilton proposed the annexations be approved by the city council June 28, though

the areas would not officially become a part of the city until Jan. 1, 2020. This is due to townships in annexation areas being a part of agreements with fire departments that will not end until that time.

“How you roll it out is the way it will be perceived,” she said.

If you are not sure whether or not you live in the proposed annexation areas, go to bloomington. in.gov to search by name, address or parcel number.

Public meetings and proposed scheduling for the rest of the annexation process March 20 - 21, March 24 Public information meetings, 6-8 p.m. in City Hall March 22-23, 25 Public information meetings, 11 a.m.-1 p.m. in City Hall March 31 Notice of public hearings to be publicized and mailed to landowners May 31 Public hearings on proposed annexations June 28 Consider adoption of annexation ordinances and any fiscal plan updates July 7 Notice of adoption of annexation to be publicized and mailed to landowners outlining the remonstrance process. Landowners in the annexation areas will have 90 days from this day to file a petition against the annexation.

Function Brewery pairs beer and Girl Scout cookies

By Brooke McAfee bemcafee@indiana.edu @bemcafee24601

Function Brewery catered to fans of both beer and Girl Scout cookies Sunday.

As John Putz, 31, sat at the bar, he dunked a svannah smile, a lemon cookie coated in powder sugar, into his glass of Remainder Belgin blonde beer.

“Cookies and beer are my favorite things, so this is the perfect event,” he said.

Customers bought sampler trays of four different Function Brewing beers with a selection of four cookies at the event Sunday afternoon. All of the beers offered included in the pairing are brewed by Function Brewery in Bloomington.

A local Girl Scout Juniors troop also sold boxes of Girl Scout cookies at the brewery.

Samoas, vanilla cookies covered in caramel, coconut and chocolate, were paired with the checksum chai brown beer.

Do-si-dos, sandwich

cookies with a peanut butter filling, were paired with the Origin cherry brown beer.

The new Girl Scout s’mores, graham cookies with marshmallow filling and a chocolate coating, were paired with the coffee milk stout.

Whitney Taylor, 24, said it was her first time at Function Brewing.

Her favorite pairing was the samoas with the chai brown beer.

“I like how the spice complements the coconut,” Taylor said. “It really brings out the coconut flavor a lot.”

She said she enjoyed all the pairings. The combination of the peanut butter cookies with the cherry brown worked surprisingly well, and she liked the citrus combination of the lemon cookies and the Belgian blonde, she said.

Eric Carlucci, a graduate student in anthropology, said he decided to come to Girl Scout Cookies and Beer because he enjoyed last year’s event.

“I love beer and love

making it, but I had never thought of pairing it with Girl Scout cookies,” Carlucci said.

Carlucci said he enjoyed all the pairings, especially the lemony combination of the Savannah smiles and the Belgian blonde beer.

He also said he liked the combination of the s’mores cookies and the coffee milk stout.

“It was kind of like drinking a coffee at a campfire,” he said.

At one table, Amelia Lewis, 25, debated with her friends over which peanut butter Girl Scout cookie is better: do-si-dos, the peanut butter sandwich cookie, or tagalongs, the peanut butter pattie cookie. She said she liked the do-sidos paired with the cherry brown beer.

Girl Scout troop leader Lisa Martin stood by her daughter and other Girl Scouts as they sold the cookies.

She said her husband came up with the idea of a Girl Scout cookies and beer pairing last year and

approached the owners of Function Brewing. This is the second year of the event.

The event allows the troop to sell a large amount of cookies. At last year’s event, they sold about 170 boxes, Martin said.

Since the event involves Girl Scouts selling cook-

ies at a brewery, there has been some controversy, but Martin said she was not concerned.

“Some people were weird about it because it’s beer, but the way I see it is that Function’s a family establishment because kids can come in,” Martin said.

The event is enjoyable for customers, and it benefits both local business and the Girl Scouts, she said.

“For people who like beer and Girl Scout cookies, it’s magical,” Martin said.

“I think it couldn’t hurt for more breweries to get in on this.”

Burglar gets away with Apple Watch after coming face-to-face with resident From IDS reports

Police investigated a burglary over the weekend near the north side of campus after one resident said he came face-to-face with an intruder.

Police responded at about 6:30 a.m. Friday to the 200 block of East Var-

sity Lane after receiving a call about a burglary in progress, Bloomington Police Department Sgt. Pam Gladish said.

Upon response, one resident told police that he’d woken up about 5:30 a.m. and needed to use the printer, which is in the basement, before leaving his home. He

found the basement door locked, which he told police was unusual, so he called his downstairs roommate to unlock the door.

When the downstairs roommate moved to unlock the door, he noticed a light on in the downstairs bathroom, he told police. The door opened and someone

shined a flashlight in his face.

Because of the light, he could not get a clear look at the intruder, but he described him to police as a black man of average build with a black hoodie and a mask over the lower half of his face.

The intruder told the

resident to let him out and began pushing him, Gladish said. At the back of the basement, the resident unlocked a sliding glass door, and the suspect fled.

The only things missing from the house were an Apple Watch and a small amount of cash, Gladish said. Nothing was missing

from the upstairs part of the house.

Gladish said the intruder likely entered the home through an unlocked door because there was no sign of forced entry.

Police are still investigating the incident.

Pieroni, who has been an important player for the Hoosiers all season, continued his impressive year by winning the 100-yard freestyle in a personal-best, conference, meet and IU record 41.44. The junior was also a part of the 400-yard freestyle relay team that took home gold in a Big Ten, meet, IU and pool record time of 2:48.29.

Finnerty’s win in the 100yard breaststroke proved crucial for the Hoosiers down the stretch. After winning the title as a freshman, Finnerty won the gold again with an IU, Big Ten and meet record time of 51.38.

“We’re just blessed with some really good swimmers and divers, and on any given day we can get some outstanding performances,” Looze said.

won both the 1- and 3-meter springboard events and finished sixth in the 10-meter platform dive.

The 3-meter dive provided one of the most dramatic moments of the week. Hixon trailed Ohio State’s Colin Zheng heading in to his final dive. Hixon then nailed a forward 4.5 somersault tuck for a score of 106.40 and the Big Ten title.

Hixon won the event with an IU, meet and pool record of 520.40. It was also the first time in program history a Hoosier diver broke the 500-point threshold.

“The Big Ten is so competitive in diving,” Hixon said. It will be a lot like what NCAAs will be like. So for us to have that situation to get out there and dive against some of the best guys in the country, the best guys in the world, you know, it’s always a lot of fun.”

Senior Joshua Arndt, junior Cody Coldren and sophomore James Connor all performed admirably while

dealing with various injuries, Johansen said.

“On the diving side I believe it’s probably one of the best Big Ten events in the history of the Big Ten,” Johansen said.

In total, IU finished with 14 school records, five conference records, six conference meet records, seven pool records and nine first-team All Big Ten honorees.

“I just want to say I give all the credit to the athletes,” Looze said. “The swimmers and divers and all the assistant coaches, they were outstanding. Everybody had a role to play and they did it at the very high level.”

For some Hoosiers this marked the end of the season. However, for those who qualified, the NCAA Zone C diving Championships will take place in Bloomington beginning March 9, while the swimmers will be back in action for the NCAA Championships March 22 in Indianapolis.

Helmer said every member of the team was expected to compete at the highest level possible.

“We didn’t put anyone on the bus that wasn’t going to give us a positive effort and contribution,” Helmer said.

“When you look around and that is what’s going on, you want to be a part of that.”

After finishing with the two fastest mile times in qualifying, Murphy and Mau placed second and third in the finals.

Senior Jason Crist led the way for the distance runners as he placed second in the

3,000-meter and fourth in the 5,000-meter.

Junior Andrew Miller finished fourth in the weight throw, and freshman William Session added a seventhplace finish in the 60-meter hurdle finals. Although the team is happy about its performance, Helmer said there is no time for celebration.

“That comes later,” Helmer said.

IU will take a week off before competing in the NCAA Championships the following week. Then the Hoosiers will gear up for outdoor season, which starts two weeks after the national meet.

The groups deliberated amongst themselves to assign the position of a verbal communicator, and the champions donned their blindfolds.

Gayda waved his hand in front of Yaqub, the Hogwarts champion. She didn’t notice, and the others in the room laughed.

After these matters, the students were allowed to leave the classroom and head to the field. They walked through Woodburn with wands

Once they were outside, the event could begin. Gayda made sure the eggs were placed, and he counted down from three.

She asked the bag how they could trust him and his team to replace the ACA and why the senator wasn’t doing six years ago what he’s doing now.

Next up was Laux from OFA, who began her speech by mentioning Young has been eluding her for years.

“I am glad to finally have the opportunity today to talk to Todd Yo — oh, wait,” she said with mock surprise.

“Where is he?”

Listeners also heard emotional testimony from people like Doris Jones, a home health care aid and a custodian at Eli Lilly and Company, a pharmaceutical com“Left,” a verbal communicator said.

“No no no, spin around,” another one said.

After the people at the rally heard everyone speak, they finally had the chance to yell at cardboard Young.

Diyo said before he was able to receive a heart transplant, he was told by his doctors that his options to receive the health care he needed were to try to get on his wife’s health care, to divorce his wife and receive additional funding or to go home with what he was given.

He got lucky, he said.

“By all means, I should not be here,” Diyo said.

“I’m glad you are,” someone from the crowd yelled out.

“That’s what we’re here to do,” Diyo continued a few moments later. “We’re supposed to take care of each other.”

anyone else wanted to try out the game in their place. Some raised their hands, so they were allowed to play. However, the win for the first task went to Beauxbatons.

IU snaps 5-game losing streak Hoosiers record 20-win season

By Zain Pyarali zpyarali@iu.edu | @ZainPyarali

By Jake Thomer

Basketball is a game of scoring runs.

IU freshman guard Devonte Green nailed a buzzer-beater from beyond half court to cap off a 22-0 run for the Hoosiers in the final five minutes of the first half.

After struggling for most of the first half, IU began to lock down on defense at the right time and comfortably entered the locker room with a 10-point lead.

However, the lead was short-lived.

Northwestern used a 15-4 run of its own to retake the lead and held off IU until the final 1:15 of the game. The Hoosiers made sure to respond in the closing seconds by using an 8-0 run to come back and win for the first time since Feb. 1 by defeating Northwestern, 63-62, at home Saturday night.

Sophomore forward Thomas Bryant said the final run all started with a defense-first mentality.

“Our best offense is when we get out and get a rebound,” Bryant said. “So that was a big thing, and when we got into the offense it was about getting a good shot.”

Northwestern sophomore forward Vic Law caught the ball at the left wing with 5:30 left in the first half, made a move on Green and finished with a two-handed jam at the rim. IU Coach Tom Crean immediately took a timeout with his team down 12 and many of the same mistakes from the past month and a half still plaguing the Hoosiers.

IU had eight turnovers and just six made shots in the first

15 minutes of the game.

IU cut down on mistakes, and the Hoosier defense intensified after the timeout. IU committed just one turnover in the final five minutes of the half and held Northwestern to 0-of-8 shooting from the field.

In addition to the Wildcats not making a shot in their final eight attempts, the Hoosiers made 7-of-9 from the floor in the final run of the first half.

Crean said the difference

between the start of the game and the final five minutes of the first half was the defense and Northwestern was three of 18 when the Wildcats didn’t get into the paint.

“To cap off a half, you know, this team is not used to going on 22-0 runs,” Crean said. “We’ve had teams in the past that have done that. This one hasn’t as much, but again it was how they got it. They got it with defense.”

With the momentum on its side at the start of the second half, IU came out shooting the basketball poorly. The Wildcats took the lead after the Hoosiers scored four points in the first seven minutes of the second half.

Northwestern led the entire way down the stretch, and it seemed as if IU was going to let another close ballgame SEE BASKETBALL, PAGE 11

It looked as though IU women’s basketball might end its season on a sour note through the first quarter of Saturday’s regular-season finale at Illinois.

The Hoosiers trailed by double digits early in the second quarter, but IU dominated the rest of the way, took a slim lead into halftime and pulled away in the third and fourth quarters to beat Illinois on the road by a final of 74-60.

Assistant coach Rhet Wierzba said IU’s defense helped the team control the game as it progressed. After being down 25-11, IU used a 48-18 run in the next 20 minutes of the game to put it out of reach.

“Our defense got much better there in the second and third quarters,” Wierzba said on the postgame radio show on WHCC 105.1 FM. “We held them to 22 points in those quarters combined, which really gave us a bit of a cushion.”

For the second consecutive road game, IU got off to a slow start offensively. The Hoosiers missed their first eight 3-point shots before senior guard Karlee McBride ignited a 10-0 run with a pair of 3s.

IU led Illinois 35-33 at the break, and the Hoosiers put the game away in the third by allowing just eight Illini points in the quarter. Illinois ended the quarter by failing to score a bucket in the last four and a half minutes and missing its last seven field goal attempts.

Senior guard Amber

Deane and sophomore forward Kym Royster provided strong play off the bench for IU by combining for 11 points. IU was plus-24 in Royster’s 15 minutes on the court, and she added a block and a steal. Wierzba said the bench players were key in the win because they were able to bring hustle and do the little things.

“For me, it’s not only the points coming off the bench, it’s the defensive intensity and the alertness, effort and energy,” Wierzba said.

The Hoosiers dominated the glass in the game by outrebounding the Illini 46-28, including an 18-11 mark on the offensive boards. IU’s 18 offensive rebounds led to 19 second-chance points, which Wierzba said was a focus heading in to the game.

Junior forward Amanda Cahill led all players with a season-high 15 rebounds to go along with 13 points.

Junior guard Tyra Buss also added a double-double, as she scored 21 points and collected 11 boards.

IU finished the regular season with a 20-9 record, and a 10-6 mark in the Big Ten. This marks the first time in program history that IU has had back-to-back 20-win seasons. The Hoosiers finished fourth in the Big Ten after Michigan State lost to Nebraska on Sunday.

He had the proposal planned out for about three months. He had told only a few confidants, including IU Coach Tom Crean, a few of Daniel’s friends and a select group of teammates.

‘Meandering Landscape’ at Fuller Projects

By Sanya Ali siali@indiana.edu | @siali13

The Fuller Projects launched the latest in its line of weekly exhibits this Friday with a focus on natural beauty through the eyes of a variety of student artists.

“Meandering Landscape” is a collection of sketches, paintings and more done by students in Martha MacLeish’s fall semester class, S200: Perceiving Beauty through Attentiveness: Drawing at IU’s Research & Teaching Preserve. The exhibit operates in conjunction with Sustain IU Week.

“It’s a preserve that’s heavily used by the sciences,” MacLeish said.

“They have a lab there that has classroom space, bathrooms, everything you would need to be away for class. It’s not really used that much by artists, so I decided it’d be the perfect place to get away and teach a class.”

MacLeish, an associate professor in the Department of Studio Art, said the goal was to create an arts-based class that also related to the environment and that students even in the School of Public and Environmental Affairs, the various arts, and even the sciences could enjoy and learn from in an inter-disciplinary way.

Students in the class went out to the preserve, which is located in proximity to the Griffy Nature

Preserve, for six hours each Friday last semester. The students were encouraged to completely immerse themselves for the time they were out in the woods, focusing on the natural elements surrounding them.

“Thankfully, we had a really good group of people, because it is a six-hour day and it can get long sometimes, but people were up for it,” MacLeish said.

Sarah Chaplin, a senior and an exhibiting artist for this show, said her mostly landscape-based works were largely informed by her surroundings at the reserve. " It was the dream,” Chaplin said. “We kind of got to do our own interpretations of landscapes and we were flexible with different mediums. Some people worked with charcoal, others worked in wet mediums like ink wash or watercolor.”

The works ended up being diverse both in the subject matter and medium, MacLeish said.

“We were looking at it critique by critique, but when we hung it here that was one of the things that stood out to me, the idea that it was so many different approaches,” MacLeish said. “When we would be away from the site and people would do offsite idea projects. People would really relate it to their own experiences with the environment that even went back to childhood.”

“Meandering Landscapes” presents a collection of works by students in associate professor Martha MacLeish’s class.

The memories students drew upon ranged from the yard where they grew up to musings on a garden in grandmother’s house, and MacLeish said that stood out to her as the saw the works together in one space.

The show was made extra special because of these personal connections.

Chaplin said what stood out to her was the diversity that exists within nature,

which she enjoys depicting in her work.

“There’s so much to look at, it’s so complex and specific and beautiful and everywhere,” Chaplin said.

“Especially living on this campus, it’s just so beautiful it’s hard not to focus on it.”

One of the goals of the class was a greater attention to the world around, and that was what MacLeish said she hopes students gained a

greater appreciation for.

“There’s something about going out to a place for a prolonged period of time, not having any distractions and just not knowing what you’re going to find, because every day we’d go there, the weather would be slightly different, the season would be slightly different,” MacLeish said.

Chaplin said this attentiveness was exactly what

she took away after taking the class with MacLeish.

“I probably learned a specific way of looking and how to look longer and harder,” Chaplin said. “When you sit down, what you think is going to be interesting doesn’t usually end up being what’s the most interesting because you have to sit there and be in the environment for a longer period of time.”

Full Frontal heads Parents, kids craft for Mardi Gras to national college improv competition

Late on Monday and Wednesday nights, long after most students have left campus, 13 performers gather in the Indiana Memorial Union to bounce ideas off each other and improve on their comedic timing in order to be fierce competitors at the tenth annual College Improv Tournament nationals.

IU’s longest-running improvisational comedy troupe, Full Frontal Comedy, attended this national competition for the first time in the group’s history.

The group dedicates at least ten hours every week to its craft. The troupe is almost always either hanging out, rehearsing or performing a show, former Indiana Daily Student reporter and FFC member Bridget Murray, junior, said.

“It’s very much not just a time commitment,” Murray said. “It’s not just like an extracurricular activity, but it’s like a friend group and a family.”

On Saturday, FFC members packed their bags for Chicago and headed for the CIT national competition.

This was made possible by their win at the CIT regional competition Jan. 28.

Nationals are divided into five sets of three troupes each, organized geographically.

FFC is set to compete in the Midlands Super Regional at 4 p.m. against teams from Kansas State University and Illinois State University. There will be five semifinalists, one from each super regional, and one overall winner.

FFC has been a part of IU’s comedy scene since 1994. The troupe performs once every two weeks in the IMU. Baxter McCory, junior, said the troupe usually has between 150 to 200 people show up at its shows on Friday nights.

McCory said he is nervous before every show, but that feeling comes with the territory.

“Improv is scary — it is,” McCory said. “There’s no plan. You just have to do it.”

Each set lasts an hour with three teams performing, giving each team 20 minutes to perform any type of improv it would like.

FFC plans to start its set with some games to get members’ brains pumping, freshman Natalie Kaufmann, said.

She said the troupe will do a montage, or long-form im-

prov, because the troupe believes montage is its biggest strength. Kaufmann said the troupe did the same set up at regionals, and it was one of the reasons they swept the competition.

“That was probably my favorite montage I’ve ever been in,” Kaufmann said. “Every scene was just so funny.”

Noah Bousum, sophomore, said he has been on the troupe since fall 2015.

He said the main reason the troupe won at regionals was because it was not expecting it. The regional competition was divided into two divisions, and FFC came in second place in its division. FCC was the wild card pick, or the second-place team selected to compete against the two firstplace picks, for the semifinals, Bousum said.

“We weren’t expecting anything good, and we won this time,” Bousum said. “So that made it, I think, all the more exciting for us.”

Although the CIT nationals is a competition, Murray said the group doesn’t really view it as a contest. The group ended up coming in third place in their set but was just excited to be invited, she said.

Murray said she can’t wait to see how FFC members can use this opportunity to improve their skills and become better comedians.

“It’s not about competition because you’re doing improv, and improv is the least competitive thing ever,” Murray said. “It’s just a good learning experience, a good way to get critiques from people that don’t see you all the time.”

Some members of FFC said they feel as doing comedy has helped them discover where their passions truly lie. Murray said she plans on moving to Los Angeles after graduation to pursue acting.

Senior Kyle Gelfand said he plans on moving to Los Angeles at the end of this summer to pursue an acting and writing career, which he hopes involves comedy in some way.

McCory said before he joined FFC in spring 2016, he was a biology major planning on becoming a dentist. Now he is studying media and, like Gelfand, said he wants to move to Los Angeles after he graduates to pursue comedy.

“I’ve gained a whole new spin on what I want to do with my life,” McCory said. “Improv has changed my whole perspective on life, really

One child hand-picked purple pom-poms and feathers out of a plastic tub filled to the brim with multicolored craft supplies. Another twisted netting to form the base of a mask.

This afternoon of crafting activities was a part of a Mardi Gras-themed Family Craft Day, which took place Sunday at Mathers Museum of World Cultures.

“It’s a fun opportunity for parents and children to come together and learn more about a tradition and day that’s important all around the world,” said Sarah Hatcher, head of programs and education at Mathers.

Lent is a six-week period of abstention that encourages penance, repentance of sins, almsgiving and self-denial.

Hatcher said Mardi Gras, French for “Fat Tuesday,” gives Christians who celebrate Lent an opportunity to let loose before the Lenten season begins on Ash Wednesday.

As a result, Hatcher said she wanted to give families an opportunity to enjoy learning about Mardi Gras.

“Lent is for most a time of contemplation and reflection,” Hatcher said. “So Mardi Gras really is a time to have fun and enjoy yourself in preparation for Lent.”

Behind Hatcher, a PowerPoint summarizing varied Mardi Gras traditions from around the world was projected onto the wall.

Hatcher said she made the PowerPoint to show attendees that Mardi Gras is not limited to what people

often associate with it. Instead, it’s celebrated in a wide variety of different ways.

“Mardi Gras isn’t just all about colorful beads and scantily clad women,” Hatcher said. “It’s about community and tradition.”

Beside Hatcher was a station for attendees to make their own Mardi Gras costumes from brown paper bags. The craft was based on costumes made by stitching bits of random fabric that are traditionally worn during the processional, Courir de Mardi Gras.

At this station, a child worked on a Mardi Gras cape covered in pink and red hearts. With her mother’s help, she drew a Hello Kitty on the center of the cape to match the pink Hello Kitty necklace she was wearing.

Father Jimin Bang said he brought his family to the event because it would be an

engaging activity that would allow them to stay indoors during the cold weather, but he also said he hoped his daughter would be able to learn more about cultures beyond the Korean and Asian cultures she was used to.

“She’s only three, so I don’t know how much of this she really understands,” Bang said. “But I hope she will learn about different culture to broaden her perspective of the world in the future.”

Volunteer Yiyu Bao said her interest in culture and broadening her perspective is why she decided to help out.

While Bao is familiar with other Asian cultures, especially Japanese, she said Mardi Gras represented a culture she had yet to learn much about.

“I’ve learned how important Mardi Gras is to Christian culture,” Bao said.

“I want to learn more about

other cultures like this so that I can help solve problems that affect the whole world.”

At the next station, a volunteer set a pointed, coneshaped hat on the table. The hat, called a Cajun capuchon, represents the idea of community in Mardi Gras -tradition, Hatcher said.

In Cajun tradition, people would wear capuchon hats and go from door to door begging for gumbo ingredients. Afterward, they pool ingredients together and make gumbo as a community.

Hatcher said she wanted to celebrate that same idea of community by inviting families in Bloomington to craft together.

“A key focus of Mardi Gras is that idea of community,” Hatcher said. “It’s a time to come together and celebrate, so I want us to come together and celebrate and learn as well.”

IU grabs two weekend wins

By Dylan Wallace dswallac@iu.edu | @Dwall_1

IU entered its matches this weekend at .500 on the season and came away with two 7-0 victories against DePaul and IUPUI to snap a three-match losing streak.

Senior Kim Schmider could not pair with her usual partner, sophomore Madison Appel, due to an illness for Schmider. The duo is the No. 19-ranked doubles team in the NCAA, but Appel teamed up with sophomore Natalie Whalen at the No. 1 doubles spot instead, and the sophomores scored a 7-5 victory against DePaul and beat IUPUI 6-2.

Schmider was well enough to play in the match against DePaul but not IUPUI. She teamed with sophomore Caitlin Bernard in the No. 3 doubles position, and the two won 6-3. Schmider also played in the No. 6 singles spot and beat IUPUI’s Milica Tesic 6-3, 6-2.

IU Coach Ramiro Azcui said Schmider was only able to practice for about 30 minutes total in the two days leading up to the matches, so he was impressed by her contributions both on and off the court Saturday.

“I asked both Kim and

Paula to talk to the team in between the doubles and singles to try and fire the troops up, and they did just that,” Azcui said.

Bernard was the only one to lose her first set against DePaul. Despite being down, she fought back and scored a 3-6, 6-0, 6-2 victory against Ana Vladutu. Bernard followed that up with a 6-1, 6-0 victory against Samantha Mayer from IUPUI. Both of Bernard’s wins came at the No. 3 singles position.

“I was being attacked the

whole first set, so I started to be more aggressive,” Bernard said. “I started to step in and take it early and just got on a roll.”

In the match against IUPUI, Azcui played all three of his freshmen in the same match for the first time. Emma Love and Anna McCoy got their first career victories in the dual match season for singles, and Pauline Jahren also won both her singles matches.

Azcui said he feels comfortable using any one of his players right now, thanks to

the improvements his freshmen have made throughout the year.

“It’s to the point where I feel confident to put anybody out there,” Azcui said.

The Hoosiers are now 7-5 on the season, and Azcui said the win against DePaul was something he thought the team needed.

“We came out and showed how strong we can play,” Azcui said. “It was just a great day for everybody, and hopefully we can continue this momentum.”.

After a missed Northwestern 3-pointer, junior guard James Blackmon Jr. responded with a made 3-pointer and

It’s been a topsy-turvy year for IU basketball, to say the least, but this instant brought us all back to reality. Basketball, as important as it may seem, doesn’t truly matter. What does matter are the people and the experiences we shared together.

We reasonably get irritated, screech and shout, call for changes and break down people as if they’re just computer-generated Sims, but, that one moment reminds us all that there are moments more important than what happened in the 40 minutes of game-time.

Perhaps the transcending moment was that of Hartman’s teammates losing it when he took the ring.

“Yeah, that was hilarious,” he said. “Those dudes are something else. That’s for sure.”

Late-night diners at Buffa Louie’s were greeted with an unexpected surprise when owner Ed Schwartzman announced that Hartman and his family would be arriv-

Wierzba said the location of the tournament will benefit IU and said he hoped the team would draw a length of the floor to find Bryant underneath the basket for the dunk and foul.

Red and white balloons were tied along the staircase leading to the second floor of the restaurant, where family and friends were gathered to greet the happy couple with wings from an iconic Bloomington establishment.

It may sound sappy, but damn, if that proposal to put a close to the first season of the renovated Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall doesn’t make you feel things, then you’re a monster. It’s that simple.

Somehow Hartman, in possibly his last home game wearing the candy stripes, outshined a contest that was won on an and-one dunk in the final seconds.

“It’s been a crazy ride with this girl,” Hartman said seconds before getting the ring from his mother during his speech. “I love her more than I can explain. So, if you …”
