Ex-IU admin sentenced on child porn charge By Jack Evans jackevan@indiana.edu | @JackHEvans
A former IU administrator who pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography received a two-anda-half year sentence Monday but will likely face no jail time. Jon Riveire, who worked in the Office of Student Ethics from 2011 to 2015, will be eligible for home
Parker sentenced for death of toddler
detention for the first year of the sentence and will then be on supervised probation. Riveire was arrested in May 2015 after a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children led to police finding more than 30 images of child pornography on his computer. He was fired immediately. He was charged with six counts
of possessing child pornography and pleaded guilty in November to one of those counts. The state, believing one charge would be sufficient, dropped the rest. During Monday’s sentencing, Riveire, speaking often of his family, testified. “I have put them through a version of hell,” he said. He focused on his two young
children, whose lives he said will never be as good as they could have been had he not committed the crime. He choked up as he told Judge Marc Kellams about how his children are too young to understand what is happening, but that he knows he will someday have to tell them about his pornography addiction.
“I’m dreading the school assignment that says, ‘Google your parents and write a research paper on your parents,’” he said. He and his wife are in the process of divorcing, and he is moving out of their home in advance of his name being placed on the sex offender registry, he said. SEE RIVEIRE, PAGE 5

SPENCER, Ind. – They saw no path to true justice here, no way to undo the damage, so they settled for putting an end to things. Owen County Circuit Court Judge Lori Quillen accepted a plea deal Monday for Kyle Parker and sentenced him to 60 years in prison for the kidnapping and brutal murder of 15-month-old Shaylyn Ammerman last spring. “Many of us in this community wish we could give you the death penalty,” Quillen said as she delivered the sentence. “What I wish I could do as a parent and a member of this community versus what I should do as a judge are in conflict with each other.” In an unscheduled hearing Feb. 3, Parker pleaded guilty to one count each of kidnapping and murder. As part of the agreement, brokered by Owen County Prosecutor Donald VanDerMoere and Parker’s attorney, Jacob Fish, the other charges, including rape, strangulation, child molestation and failure to report a body, will be dismissed. “You took my loving, sweet and beautiful daughter away from me,” Shaylyn’s mother, Jessica Stewart, read from her statement to Parker. “You stole her from all of us and I hope you live with guilt and torment for the rest of your life.” Parker, 23, sat silently in shackles with his head shaven, his glasses on and his back to the court. In past statements to police and to the judge, Parker described how on March 23, 2016, he had stolen Shaylyn from her crib in her grandmother’s house in Spencer, Indiana, and driven her to rural Gosport, Indiana. At some point on the drive, Parker pulled over and raped the little girl in SEE PARKER, PAGE 5

Panel broaches issues in college sports By Andrew Hussey aphussey@indiana.edu | @thehussnetwork
College athletics have come under fire in recent years. The debate about paying athletes has become more intense, and many legal challenges to the concept of amateurism have been brought through the court system. However, at a panel on the future of college athletics Monday, several experts in the field remained confident sports at the collegiate level will continue to prosper. The School of Public Health was host to a panel in the Global and International Studies Building Auditorium to discuss many of the hot-button issues facing the
NCAA. The panel included IU Athletics Director Fred Glass, NCAA Executive Vice President Oliver Luck and School of Public and Environmental Affairs professor Jayma Meyer. Meyer teaches V450: Sports Law and Public Policy at SPEA, and she moderated the discussion. With the changing media environment and legal challenges that strike at the heart of the college athletics, Luck remained resolute that college athletics will survive and thrive moving forward. “We’ve faced threats over many, many years, but if we take a step back and look at what are, in my mind, the two most important pillars of college athletics, which is No. 1 education and No. 2 is
amateurism,” Luck said. “Those are two very important pillars, and those have survived 150 years.” Glass said college athletics wasn’t going anywhere any time soon even though the future is uncertain with issues of financial sustainability and changing media consumption habits. “An advantage that sports have in this environment is people want to consume it live,” Glass said. “That’s why these media rights deals are so big.” Luck said college athletics are in a healthy place and promote values that are timeless. One legal question that has continued to surface in recent years is the amateur status of student-athletes. A multitude of
former college athletes have brought suits trying to challenge this concept, and litigation is pending in many of these cases. Glass said he likes to use a different phrase for amateurism especially when given the demands on student-athletes and the money college athletics earn. Glass has called it the “collegiate model” because he said it captures the educational side of college athletics better. “If we give students money over and above that which reimburses them or at least arguably reimburse them for their costs, then we kill the goose that’s laying the golden eggs,” Glass said. “You take the SEE PANEL, PAGE 5
Violinist Joshua Bell talks new frontiers of classical music By Emily Jones emkjones@indiana.edu | @emkkjones
In a room high above Third Street, two dozen students in the Jacobs School of Music found their places around a table. Conversation was hushed as the head seat — reserved for Grammy-winning violinist and IU alumnus Joshua Bell — remained empty. Then Bell entered the room with a Diet Coke in hand to dish out advice and insights about the changing landscape of classical music. In the midst of a busy touring season, the virtuoso violinist stopped in to reflect on the importance of forging new connections with artists. “Playing the same concerto with orchestras a hundred times is fine,” Bell said. “I’ve been blessed to be making a living that way. However, at this point in my career it’s important to expand my repertoire and reinvent what I’m doing.” Five years ago, a significant step in this direction came after London’s Academy of St. Martin in the Fields announced a directorial opening. Bell stepped up to the plate, but with a twist: He began leading the orchestra from his chair as concertmaster, or first violinist. Since taking on the leadership position, Bell said he has enjoyed covering eight out of nine Beethoven symphonies. “You’ll meet people who will take
you in directions you never imagined if you just put yourself out there,” Bell told the musicians. “We’ll all be successful on some level, but this is the time to get out of your comfort zone.” For much of his professional career, the Bloomington native and IU graduate has been doing exactly that. In 2016 Bell, a self-proclaimed tech and gaming fanatic, paired up with Sony PlayStation to create a virtual-reality demo performance. With an add-on headset, he said users can experience his music in 3-D surround sound as if the performance were unfolding before their eyes. Bell said this could offer potential for classical music to reach a broader audience. In the future, he’s hopeful the virtual reality software will allow him to stream concerts from his home in Manhattan, New York City, his venue of choice, and allow thousands to get an intimate experience. The violinist’s projects don’t end in the tech field. With close ties to Hollywood, Bell has made cameo appearances in Amazon’s “Mozart in The Jungle” series and filmed skits for Julie Andrew’s “Julie’s Greenroom,” a Netflix childrens’ series. Beyond the film industry, Bell has taken up the role as a cultural diplomat of sorts by joining a team of artists – including the Dave Matthews Band and Smokey Robinson – on former President Barack Obama’s mission to share music in Cuban

your name again?’ and told the audience we were ‘four guys you’ve never heard of,’” Bell said, referring to his performance of “Death By Triple Fiddle” in 1999. “Those are things you put up with.” The audience laughed. As for staying grounded, Bell said
immersing himself in fields aside from music is key. “Sometimes you get so wrapped up in the sphere you inhabit and it feels like it’s the only thing that exists,” Bell said. “But hanging around actors, scientists – that gives you perspective.”

‘Black Don’t Crack’ ends BHM By Matt Rasnic mrasnic@umail.iu.edu @matt_rasnic
A table of panelists discussed health and health care barriers in black communities Monday evening. The event, “Black Don’t Crack,” took place in the NealMarshall Black Culture Center. This event was organized by Neal-Marshall and the School of Public Health to increase awareness of public health issues facing black citizens. This panel consisted of Rory James, director of student diversity and inclusion for the School of Public Health; Rasul Mowatt, associate professor in the School of Public Health; Maria Hamilton Abegunde, visiting lecturer for the African American and African Diaspora Studies department; and Dr. Lori Thompson, a family health physician who works in Bloomington. A common theme that was brought up throughout the discussion was access to health care. The panel discussed many different barriers to treatment such as transportation, insurance, work schedules and child care that can make it hard for people to access proper care. “There may be a clinic,” Thompson said. “There may be a hospital, but are they open at the times that we can attend?” Another barrier to proper health care they discussed is discrimination, which can come in many different ways. The panelists shared experiences where they have been

discriminated against by physicians. “There are definitely areas that do not accept certain types of insurance because they are trying to exclude certain populations,” Thompson said. Mowatt explained that in a study done on hospital wait times black people, on average, wait significantly longer than their white counterparts. During the discussion many questions were brought up about the lack of trust among the black community and medical physicians. Many of the trust problems can be traced back to past transgressions against black people. “There’s a lack of trust or
confidence,” Abegunde said. Many on the panel linked this distrust to historical medical tests that put black people at risk or even caused their deaths. An example of this was with the Tuskegee syphilis study of 600 black men — 399 had syphilis and 201 did not. According to the Centers for Disease Control, these men were not informed of the study and, even after finding a cure, many of them did not receive the treatment. In addition to the discussion by the panel, Brian Richardson, assistant director in the Office of Student Diversity & Inclusion, invited Community Capacity for Prevention and Education to conduct free
HIV testing at Neal-Marshall. The testing went from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday and will occur at the same time Tuesday. It takes about 30 minutes and is done with an oral swab, no blood work. “It’s painless, and it’s quick,” outreach coordinator Olivia Humphreys said. She said they are trying to break the stigma against HIV and encourage everyone to participate because they never know their status until they are tested. Richardson invited them because he wanted Monday to be a day of wellness, he said. Cody Thompson contributed reporting.
Car parts stolen from vehicles outside eastside dorms From IDS reports
Six reports were made to the IU Police Department about stolen catalytic converters from various vehicles in parking lots of two IU residence halls Sunday morning between 2:00 and 11:00 a.m. The thefts took place in
the parking lots outside Eigenmann and Willkie residence halls. Catalytic converters can be found on the underside of a vehicle. Their primary function involves converting toxic pollutants the car emits into more subtle gases, according to the local Bloomington AutoZone
website. In cars where the catalytic converter is fused into the bottom of the car, a person would need to saw off both sides of the part in order to break it free from the vehicle. IUPD Capt. Andy Stephenson said these parts can have some sort of value
when taken to scrap yards, hence the attraction to these pieces. These parts can be purchased from anywhere between $90 and $265 on the AutoZone website. Anyone with information about these thefts should call IUPD, Stephenson said. Kelly Evans
Studying abroad is a planning-intensive feat, and funding can often be an obstacle, but for IU students like Beth Ciaravolo, who is now studying in Ukraine, the Fulbright United States Student Program makes international research and travel possible. The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs named IU as one of the nation’s top producers of Fulbright grant winners. Ciaravolo, a graduate student in the geography department, said without Fulbright funding her area of study she may never have been able to travel. “There are only a handful of sources of funding for overseas work in my field,” she said in an email. “The purpose of this trip is to gather the data for my dissertation and thus is something I would have needed to do regardless, so I would have tried hard to find another way but it probably would not have been ideal.” This is the second time Ciaravolo has been the winner of a Fulbright grant. She has used both to continue research in Ukraine, where she is studying oral and written sources about Ukrainian historical sites and how they relate to a national mythology. While Ciaravolo enjoys the opportunity to live and study in L’viv, Ukraine, and said she thinks being abroad is a great experience for United States students, she has encountered issues of her own relating to geopolitics. She also said she has experienced a degree of sexism from some, as Ukraine is typically a more traditional culture than the U.S. “People, especially older people, are always asking why I’m not married and don’t have children, and they are often surprised that I’m traveling and living alone this far from home,” Ciaravolo said. Megan Kelly, who graduated from IU in May 2016, is in Colombia on her Fulbright grant and has faced different types of problems than Ciaravolo. Kelly said she was supposed to be an English teaching assistant, but the university she was placed at has no English professors so she does all the work. “I am essentially a 22-year-old university professor, designing my own curriculum, solo teaching, and assigning final grades,” Kelly said in a Facebook message. She also works with an organization that focuses on conflict, forced migration and human rights issues on the border with Ecuador and Venezuela.
Kelly’s work will create a database of the conflict in those regions, which she said is essential for any society in the aftermath of a conflict. Emma McDonnell is another Fulbright student and Ph.D. candidate. She is in the IU anthropology department. She is using her grant to study the effect of the quinoa boom and bust in the Peruvian highlands, which she said is the perfect location for her research. She said she’s known about the Fulbright program since she was an undergrad at University of California, Santa Cruz. She said there are challenges in other cultures if accepted, but Fulbright students need to be patient. “My main takeaway or advice is to have patience and be flexible. Making friends and meaningful relationships in different cultures with complex relationships to the U.S. is not easy, and neither is making a research project from scratch,” McDonnell said. IU has 17 students who are abroad on grants in countries like Ukraine, Mexico, Colombia and Peru. Awards are generally given to support graduating seniors and graduate students either to support research projects or teaching English. Many of these students cite their experience as an amazing way to learn about other cultures and to expand their view beyond the borders of the U.S. Emily Hentz, who graduated and is in Mexico, is serving as an ETA like Kelly. While Hentz’s area of study is biology, she said living in Mexico has changed her perspective. She said in an email while most of the people she has met have been kind, it’s been difficult to answer tough questions about how the U.S. and Mexico relationship is changing with President Trump’s rhetoric and plans to build a wall. “Our relationship with Mexico is so important, and I was hoping to be able to help promote crosscultural understanding through my experience,” Hentz said in an email. While each country presents their own distinct challenges, these students said they are glad to have the opportunity to travel. In a press release, IU Provost and Executive Vice President Lauren Robel said the Fulbright program remains an important part of the U.S., as well as IU’s cultural engagement around the world. “Our commitment to this program, and our students’ success in it, embody the academic excellence and global engagement that are central to IU Bloomington’s mission,” Robel said in the press release.

Blewett celebrates 90th birthday By Alyson Malinger afmaling@indiana.edu | @aly_mali
Conversation dulled as waitresses carried a cake with red and white frosting and four sparkling candles into the room, IU alumna Marjorie “Marge” Blewett blushed, revealing a smile as her eyes began to twinkle. Blewett was honored Monday afternoon in the Coronation Room of the IMU for her dedication to IU journalism and her 90th birthday during the Bloomington Press Club’s monthly meeting. Blewett’s work and legacy inspired many people to study journalism at IU, including former Bloomington Mayor Mark Kruzan. “The siren call of Marge Blewett was my call to come to IU,” Kruzan said. Kruzan and Blewett met 40 years ago this month when he entered Ernie Pyle Hall for the first time to tour the school as a prospective journalism student. Blewett will celebrate her official 90th birthday March 5, also known as Marjorie Blewett Day in Bloomington. Ten years ago Kruzan declared the day in Blewett’s honor to acknowledge the lives she touched and the contributions she has made within the journalism community. Blewett said she was not surprised by the celebration but hearing from Kruzan was a pleasant surprise. “I enjoyed that this celebration was small and with people that am I very close with,” Blewett said.
The Bloomington Press Club serves media professionals in the Bloomington area with speakers and networking opportunities. The surprise celebration was a community effort by members of the club, who President Steve Hinnefeld and Jim Bright, club member and public relations professional. “Marge has been a significant part of IU journalism for the past 70 years,” Hinnefeld said. “She contributed a lot both as a teacher and a counselor.” Martie Deetz, best friend of Blewett, said she learned the definition of loyalty from their friendship. “She is genuinely nice to everybody,” Deetz said. “And that has helped me as a person.” Blewett graduated in June 1948, and Deetz started in the fall of that year, so their paths never crossed. It wasn’t until 54 years later when Deetz returned to Bloomington after living in California for most of her adult life that Blewett and Deetz finally met. Deetz had written a book, and the Herald-Times wrote an article referring to Deetz as an IU journalism alumna. From there, Blewett emailed her inviting Deetz to join the then Ernie Pyle Society, and they have been friends ever since. “She said they ate free good food and talked about journalism,” Deetz said. “It sounded like the perfect opportunity for me.” Blewett was born in Bloomington and moved with her family to Washington, D.C. She was the editor

of her high school newspaper and wrote for the teen page of the Washington Star. In 1944, Blewett returned to her hometown to attend IU and immediately joined the staff of the Indiana Daily Student. Following graduation, Blewett worked at publications in both Bloomington and Lafayette, Indiana, and met her husband, Harry. Later in 1965, Blewett returned to IU once again to work full time as a lecturer in the Department of Journalism. Four years later she was named placement director for the School of Journalism. Following her time on faculty, Blewett remained an active member of the IU family. In 1998, the Marjorie Blewett Internship was established to help journalism students who accepted unpaid internships, received the all-campus staff award for service to students and the
University and a Sagamore of the Wabash from former Gov. Evan Bayh. Blewett was inducted into the Indiana Journalism Hall of Fame in 1999. She watched the School of Journalism lose its independence to the College of Arts and Sciences and transition to the IU Media School, which she still visits. Her most recent visit was for the 150th birthday celebration of the IDS, Feb. 22. The meeting ended as the birthday cake was cut for eating. “People who know her love her, and that’s a lot of love,” Bright said. Pieces of black and white marbled cake circulated the room as people lined up in front of Blewett to send good wishes. People expressed Blewett was the human form of IU journalism. “I travel in the wake of Marge Blewett,” Deetz said.

Society depends on the free movement of people, senior adviser to former President Barack Obama Ben Rhodes said Monday during a conversation with Hutton Honors College dean Andrea Ciccarelli. Rhodes addressed several questions relevant to Obama’s time in office and the United States’s place in the world under the new administration. Topics ranged from counterterrorism models to news media. “We need to balance the need to be firm and present,” he said. The extent of wreckage brought forth by the global financial crisis was relatively low in the U.S. compared to foreign countries, but it pushed a rhetoric of rejecting foreigners, refugees and trade deals with a desire to focus on the U.S. first, Rhodes said. That rhetoric is shown in President Trump’s policies such as the Muslim ban and also in the Brexit decision. “The problem is you can’t go back,” Rhodes said. The U.S. as a country is still benefiting from alliances its citizens take for granted, he said. This cannot be done without the consent of countries around the world, which can be a problem if the country’s public does not like the U.S. policies, Rhodes said. In fact, it is not the outright declaration of war he is afraid of but the rhetoric leading to a chain of events escalating to an unintentional war, he said. China’s competing territorial claims is an example of this, he said. The U.S. must show they are not using their influence without war. He said as a country the U.S. cannot just assume they can control what happens through military force -- they have no idea what possible consequences they will leave. Rhodes also brought up the struggle within the U.S. government concerning policies. He gave Trump’s statement on a one- or two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as an example of polarization within the government. “If we don’t know what the policy is, how will the world

Ben Rhodes, senior adviser to former President Barack Obama, talks with Hutton Honors College dean Andrea Ciccarelli on Monday in the Inidana Memorial Union Solarium. Rhodes has played a role in shaping the United States’ foreign policy the past eight years. The discussion was part of the “Many worlds, one globe,” lecture series sponsored by the Hutton Honors College.
know?” he said. The polarized media of today also adds difficulty to producing accurate news, especially because not everyone will be listening with an open mind, he said. “The media environment is broken,” Rhodes said. Though mainstream news media still controls a main portion of the narrative for today’s news media, many times the points brought up are then filtered to be polarizing, he said. However, online media outlets like Vice and Vox have found ways to counter the traditional news cycle. Younger people are taking all of the content, making it smarter and pushing it back, he said. Social media platforms also must put more effort into quality control of the content by finding where to push back and drawing a line between free speech and setting up a terrorist attack, Rhodes said. Cooperation with social media platforms in this way is an important counterterrorism technique with fighting the Islamic State group due to their social media presence. While there is a lot not to like in politics for some students, Rhodes said they should continue to be active. “They’re not other people who know more than you who are doing these things,” he said. “The main thing is to not create a psychological barrier between yourself and the government.”

Toy store reaches out to children at the mall By Brooke McAfee bemcafee@indiana.edu @bemcafee24601
A child ran up with arms outstretched and a huge smile on his face to hug the owner of the toy store, who was dressed in a Curious George costume. After the child posed for a picture, Curious George gave him a high five. Toy Chest, a toy store in the College Mall, had its February Family Night on Friday. Children could meet and take photos with Curious George, who was played by owner Hilary Key, who owns Toy Chest with her husband, Danny Key. The original Toy Chest is located in Nashville, Indiana. It has been open for about 47 years, and the Keys bought it in 2014. In 2015, they opened a store in the College Mall. Though they also own the other store, running the Toy Chest in Bloomington has had a learning curve, Hilary Key said. The Bloomington store is located in a mall and is surrounded by larger franchises. On the plus side, however, the Bloomington store brings the community more than the Nashville store, she said. The Nashville location tends to attract tourists, while the Bloomington store has returning customers. Hilary Key said she wants the Bloomington community to be more aware that Toy Chest is a local business. Recently, the Bloomington store has attracted crowds at family events like monthly family nights and weekly Toddler Tuesdays. The events include books readings and arts and crafts. The Bloomington store also gives children more space to play, Hilary Key said. “Parents like how kids can run around and play without being judged,” she said. The store also offers a demo area where children can try out toys before

purchase. Danny Key said because the store is located within the mall, people tend to assume it is a large, franchised company. The Toy Chest is the only specialty toy store in Bloomington, and he said its products are different from the mass-market toys found in stores like Toys “R” Us, Walmart and Target. “I like to think they are higher-quality toys,” he said. “They come with a little higher price, but they are quality toys, and most of them have a good
educational component.” Danny Key said it is important to provide children with the opportunity to play with educational toys. “We’re all about play and how play really helps educate kids,” he said. “They’re learning, and they don’t even know it.” Customer service, he added, is an important part of the business. All of the employees at Toy Chest are toy experts who can lead customers directly toward what they are looking for. The employees advise
customers on what toys are best for certain ages and children with mental disabilities. “Here, you can get a full service experience,” Danny Key said. Katie Hobbs, 34, said her parents took her to the Nashville Toy Chest when she was a child, and now she takes her children to both stores. Her two-year-old son’s favorite toy from Toy Chest is a train set, and Hobbs said the toys at Toy Chest are high quality and can be passed down from generations
unlike many mass-market products. She has given her children toys from Toy Chest she had as a child. She said she also likes the interactive environment of the store. “They have the opportunity to play with the toys and see if they like them instead of just buying things,” Hobbs said. Aimee Sims, 29, said she often comes once a week to the Toy Chest in College Mall. Her four-year-old daughter likes the books and science-related toys in the
store, like slime and kinetic sand, Sims said. While the toys can be more expensive, Sims said she prefers coming to the Toy Chest to going to stores like Toys “R” Us or ordering online because the local store provides a hands-on experience. Her daughter likes to play with the toys in the store, especially a kitchen set in the back of the store, she said. “We can never just go to the mall and leave,” Sims said. “She always has to check in.”
BPD says all clear IU student opens Apple repair shop after bomb scare near Turkuaz Cafe By Emma Atkinson

Just before 1:30 p.m, police gave an all clear of the area surrounding the Turkuaz Cafe and reopened surrounding streets to traffic. The package — small and white with wires appearing to show on the outside — was reported to BPD at 9:25 a.m. Police shut down a one- to two-block radius surrounding the corner of 3rd and Lincoln streets and called the Indiana State Police bomb squad as a precaution, BPD Capt.

the package was a small packaging tied together with an extension cord. ISP first sent out a bomb robot, likely equipped with a camera, to inspect the package, Kellams said. Then, after determining the package posed little threat, a bomb technician wearing protective gear opened the package. Kellams said he did not know the specific contents of the package, but insisted the scare was “absolutely nothing.” He said the package was not a device or hoax meant to scare anyone, and that it was likely just left accidentally on the side of the road. A similar incident reported at the Jewish Community Center in Indianapolis this morning was likely unrelated, Kellams said. Carly Lanich

IU senior Kyle Jennings, the founder of new Bloomington business is no stranger to the perils of striking out into the corporate world. Jennings opened Mac & Screen Repair, an Apple product repair shop, Jan. 16. On opening day the store stayed empty. Jennings said he did not have a single customer all day. “That’s when I learned that I should probably be by appointment only,” he said later, with a laugh. Mac & Screen Repair is located close to campus, at 128 East Sixth St. Jennings does all of the repair work in front of customers. “I’ve always enjoyed taking risks,” he said. “Entrepreneurship is a great way to fill my need for adrenaline.” The store doesn’t have a back room — just a desk where Jennings performs repairs and a small seating area by the large windows. Jennings said he felt it was important to establish
a brick-and-mortar store for his business. He said that one of his customers had an unsatisfying experience with an at-home computer repair service. That reinforced, for him, his decision to open a shop. “I feel like a physical store kind of builds trust with people,” he said. Jennings’ first business venture, an app called “Buzzed,” was intended to help students find drink deals on campus. The app was based in Bloomington, but Jennings eventually was able to expand to Indianapolis and Atlanta, Georgia. He took a break from school in fall 2016 to focus on developing and marketing the app. However, “Buzzed” did not turn out to be as successful as Jennings had hoped. “It was a complete failure,” he said. “I lost a bunch of money. It never gained traction.” After “Buzzed” fizzled, Jennings took a job fixing Apple products at Simply Mac, a repair store in
College Mall. Jennings said the simplicity of repairing Apple computers and devices motivated him to begin doing repairs on his own. “I thought that they were overcharging people for the services that they did,” he said. “So I thought, ‘Why not just start my own?’” Mac & Screen Repair offers basic repair services, device troubleshooting and classes about using Apple devices. Jennings said customers most commonly come in with cracked iPhone and computer screens, and he charges from $129.99 to $259.99, depending on the model, for iPhone screen repairs. IU freshman Samuel Sanderson needed a replacement screen for his MacBook Pro so he brought it to Mac & Screen Repair. He said that he searched for Apple repair services on the internet and found Jennings’ business in the results. “Kyle was able to replace the screen in about three business days,” he said. “It cost me about $500,
which is kind of a bargain considering how new my computer is.” Sanderson said that he was pleased with the results of the repair and wouldn’t hesitate to return to Mac & Screen Repair if he needed any other devices repaired. On average, Jennings gets about two customers per day. Most of the customers are college students, he said. “When they walk in they’re like, ‘Oh, wait. You look too young to be doing this’,” Jennings said. “So I’m their age, I’m not trying to scam them, and all the work that I do, I do it right in front of them.” Ji Lee, a senior finance major at IU, said he liked the familiarity of doing business with a fellow student. He brought his MacBook to Mac & Screen Repair for data recovery. Lee said he was surprised by Jennings’ easygoing attitude and flexible business hours. “It didn’t seem like a transaction as much as a friend helping out a friend,” he said.
Bomb threat closes Indy Jewish Community Center From IDS reports

A bomb threat Monday morning closed the Indianapolis Jewish Community Center for most of the day. Someone at the JCC called police at 10:20 a.m. about a bomb threat to the north side of the facility, according to Fox 59 News. The JCC confirmed the threat on its website at 10:40 a.m., and everyone was evacuated from the premises. Bomb-sniffing dogs and investigators swept the area for bombs but found nothing. Activities at the center resumed after the all clear from investigators.
The Indianapolis JCC threat came the same day as threats to JCC and Jewish schools in several other states, including Pennsylvania, Michigan, Delaware, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut and Alabama. All of the centers have been cleared and reopened. “While we are relieved that all such threats have proven to be hoaxes and that not a single person was harmed, we are concerned about the antiSemitism behind these threats and the repetition of threats intended to interfere with day-to-day life,” said Ira Jaffee, CEO of JCC
Indianapolis, in a statement, according to the Indianapolis Star. Sen. Joe Donnelly-D Indiana, tweeted, “We stand with you, @JCCIndianapolis. You make us stronger as a community and state and we thank you for all you do. -Joe” Rep. Andre Carson, DIndianapolis commented on the bomb threat on Twitter. “I’m deeply alarmed by this morning’s threat against the @JCCIndianapolis. We must send a strong signal that this hatred won’t be tolerated,” he tweeted. Indianapolis FBI office issued a statement on the
threat. “The FBI and the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division are investigating possible civil rights violations in connection with threats to Jewish Community Centers across the country,” the statement read. “The FBI will collect all available facts and evidence, and will ensure this matter is investigated in a fair, thorough, and impartial manner. As this is matter is ongoing, we are not able to comment further at this time.” Police are continuing to investigate the threat. Melanie Metzman

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 the front seat of his car. Parker smothered Shaylyn to death with a cloth he had in his Pontiac Grand Am and laid her bare body beside a tree by the White River. He burned her belongings — a onesie with owls on it and a Winnie the Pooh blanket. Throughout the hearing, Prosecutor Donald VanDerMoere described how the case against Parker had unraveled. The evidence had not led straight back to Parker, VanDerMoere said, but had instead left a frightening amount of gray area. Stacy Brown, who investigated the case for the Indiana State Police, attested to the lack of physical evidence against Parker. Although many hairs were obtained at the crime scene, none had roots. They were useless to investigators. Parker provided conflicting accounts throughout the investigation. In some, he pointed a finger at Shaylyn’s uncle, Adam Ammerman, and her father, Justin Ammerman. In others, Parker admitted some or all of the blame. At one point, Parker told police after he raped and murdered Shaylyn, he cleaned her body and himself with bleach in an effort to destroy DNA evidence. However, extensive investigation found absolutely no bleach residue, Brown said, and there were no bleach bottles found at the scene or in Parker’s car. There were concerns about witnesses’ criminal histories that would have been problematic in a jury trial, VanDerMoere said. Computers seized from witnesses turned up searches for violent pornography, VanDerMoere said. He read aloud some of the searches to the courtroom, and Indiana State Police Detective Brown confirmed them. “White female, bound

I think any parent would.” He still has rights to unsupervised visitation of his children, though a precautionary “safety plan” from the Department of Child Services orders he not be around them while they’re naked, he said.

One was Parker, according to court documents. The other was not named in court. Shaylyn’s family and Parker’s family sat in the front rows of the courtroom. Shaylyn’s grandma, Tamara Morgan, was dressed in pink and purple from head to toe — Shaylyn’s favorite colors. She kept her arm around her son, but looked back at Parker’s family often and nodded sympathetically. Both families said they have been harassed incessantly in the last year. Morgan told the press she had been followed into stores, screamed at and bothered at home. The harassment got so bad her family had to move out of Spencer, she said. Parker’s mother, when called to the stand, said people had vandalized her home and threw lemons, limes and oranges. She begged people to stop and pointed out that her husband had been instrumental in getting a confession from her son during the investigation. “All along we have wanted nothing more than justice for everyone involved in this case,” she said. Shaylyn’s father, Justin Ammerman, took the stand and read his statement to Parker. “When I heard all of the terrible things he did to my precious little girl, I wanted to die too,” Justin Ammerman said, his voice trembling. “Kyle, why did you do this to my little girl?” While he tried to justify the agreement, VanDerMoere pointed out life expectancy in prison is significantly shorter tual evaluation put Riveire at a relatively low risk of reoffending. Riveire told Kellams he has been attending counseling sessions for three weeks, and his counselor believes he’ll require one and a half to two years of treatment to rehabilitate his pornography addiction. When attorney Joshua Radicke, representing the state, pressed Riveire on his rehabilitation and his “owning” of the charges, Riveire stopped short of admitting to being aroused by the images of children. “I understand the charges in the sense that I understand why I’m being charged and being held responsible,” he said. “I do not find sexual gratification from looking at children.” Still, Kellams commended Riveire’s commitment

than the life of an average adult. On average, inmates in Indiana live to be 64, VanDerMoere said. At the earliest possible release date, Parker would be 67-and-a-half. “This is the functional equivalent of a life sentence for Mr. Parker,” VanDerMoere said. If people thought the punishment was not severe enough, he said they should place the blame squarely on his shoulders. “As a prosecutor, I am responsible for finding the to his family and the support he has received from friends and family, some of whom had previously appeared on his behalf. In his estimation, Riveire appeared to be “a nice man” who made a mistake, Kellams said. “What I see here is a human being who’s failed,” he said, speaking directly to Riveire, who sniffled and nodded along. “And you’re a perfect example of the scourge of pornography on our country.” He went on to call pornography addiction an “insidious disease” and told Riveire he’d have to surrender fully to treatment, rather than just comply, to be rehabilitated. “There are a lot of people in your position who will deny everything and say they don’t have a problem
truth, not what I want to find,” VanDerMoere said. “The fact of the matter is that this is an appropriate resolution. It doesn’t provide closure for everything, but it’s the best we can do.” Red-faced and yelling, VanDerMoere pleaded with the judge. “You need to accept this agreement,” VanDerMoere said, his voice breaking as he choked out the words. “This is not what I want, but it’s the right thing.” Quillen did not need time and almost believe it,” he said. Though the guilty plea on this charge would generally warrant a sentence of less than a year, Kellams said he wanted Riveire to be on probation until he could complete counseling. Kellams handed down the longer sentence. Riveire continued to nod as Kellams read the sentence’s stipulations, including registering as a sex offender. When he reached an order prohibiting contact with minors under the age of 16, Kellams said Riveire’s children would be excluded from that order, and for a moment, Riveire put his head in his hands. “Jon, you’ve got a lot of work ahead of you,” Kellams said at the end of the sentencing. “I hope you can get on with your life.”

Maurer School of Law professor Kevin Brown, who teaches B678: Law & Sports in the Maurer School of Law, and Judge David Hamilton of the Seventh Circuit of Appeals also spoke at the panel. Hamilton was a judge in an important case, the Berger case, which determined that college athletes weren’t employees, and he says he thinks there will be a lot more challenges to the collegiate model because of how much money is involved. He says judges have to tread carefully because the decisions in these types of cases have

Brown questioned who’s speaking for the athlete especially with all the money in college athletics. He said the questions will continue to linger as the revenue continues to grow exponentially. “Given those huge amounts of money, is this a fair system when you’re talking about the division of the revenue?” Brown asked. The response to the panel was positive from the crowd. IU student Keith Radzik, the vice president of IU’s Business World of Sports club, said he liked the panel. “It’s absolutely remarkable that we can have these resources as students, and obviously getting the dialogue they can offer on some of the most pressing topics is fascinating, and it helps us as students,” Radzik said. “And they do it in an amusing way.”

BREAK
OUT ILLUSTRATION BY EMILY ABSHIRE | IDS
After experiencing escape rooms locally and internationally, Chad Rabinovitz, producing artistic director at Bloomington Playwrights Project, brought the experience to Bloomington. Rabinovitz, along with members of BPP, designed several puzzles and riddles to help participants break out of the IU-basketball themed room. For those who want to try their luck at evading the evil Boilermakers and escaping IU Coach Tom Crean’s office in time for the championship game, tickets can be purchased on the BPP website. Teams can be up to four people, and the cost is $25 per player. The escape room will be open until March 4 with time slots available throughout the day.

here are two versions of yourself: who you think you are and who you actually are. I have always pictured myself as a detective. This is mainly as a result of reading too much “Nancy Drew” and “Sherlock Holmes” as a kid. The couple of times I noticed weird details correctly guessed their causes, I thought, made me a genius. Coincidentally, I ignored the hundreds of things I was wrong about. Safe to say, I was a little cocky going into the escape room and thought my years of young adult detective novels were finally going to pay off. Then I had to find out who I really am, which is someone who is easily frustrated by puzzles. And impatient. The escape room at the Bloomington Playwright’s Project was a challenge but was definitely rewarding. I knew the basis of the puzzle was we were starting basketball players for IU and had been locked in IU Coach Tom Crean’s office by Purdue team members. This was already a challenge for me because I’m a Kentucky Wildcats fan masquerading as a Hoosier while at school. Thankfully, intrinsic knowledge of IU basketball was not required to complete the puzzle. In order to break out and get back to the championship game, you must solve puzzles in the room. I was working with three people much smarter than I am, so I was lucky in the sense that I didn’t have to do too much hard thinking in order to get through it. The escape room definitely provided a good break from normal activities we would typically do on the weekend. ANNA BOONE Former creative director

here are few things in this world I classify as guilty pleasures. I will proudly tell you I love greasy food, trash reality television and petty celebrity gossip. I will begrudgingly tell you I have seen the entire “Saw” franchise several times and know the games in each movie. This very twisted knowledge served me well in the Escape Room — or at least I expected it to. When the clock started I went into game mode. Anything and everything in sight I picked up, unzipped and shook out to gather clues for our first puzzle. Our team fanned out and attempted to solve multiple puzzles at once, but it became obvious that working as a team on one puzzle at a time was the most efficient way to keep moving. I was pleasantly surprised that my limited IU basketball knowledge didn’t hinder our ability to solve the riddles BPP presented us. Even so, my “Saw” skills only carried me so far, and by so far I mean hardly at all. I expected the escape room to challenge my wits, but I wasn’t expecting it to challenge my senses. After being so wrapped up in number combinations and word scrambles I had to take a beat to stop and listen or, in some cases, stop and smell. If I had any advice for future participants it would be to be observant. Never disregard something because it seems simple or even out of place — that’s usually your golden ticket.

hen you walk into the escape room at the Bloomington Playwrights Project, you officially enter the game. The Purdue Boilermakers have locked you, IU basketball players, inside IU Coach Tom Crean’s office right before the national championship game. You have 60 minutes to escape before the Hoosiers are forced to forfeit. As soon as the referee said, “Your time starts now,” our team scoured the room. We turned over, picked up and opened everything we could — books, picture frames and deodorant sticks. This led us to clues with riddles, which we solved to get codes and combinations to locked containers, boxes and doors. Remember time moves quickly so make sure you’re constantly moving and looking for clues. My biggest mistake was underestimating BPP’s creation. I wasn’t sure what exactly the group was capable of creating, so I wasn’t expecting some of the twists and turns we had to figure out. Unfortunately I can’t give anything away, but my best advice if you decide to try your hand at the escape room is to expect anything.

Editors Dylan Moore and Zack Chambers opinion@idsnews.com
EDITORIAL BOARD
ON YOUR MIND
We are overly sensitive In 2015, Dr. Robin DiAngelo coined the term “white fragility” in a famous article discussing the difficulties white people have talking about racism. In the article he claims most white people can deal with very little discomfort when talking about different cultures because they have had very little experience with other cultures. Therefore, they react in ways that are not conducive to having honest conversations about racism and the differences in cultures. I would take his claim a step further and say fragility exists in most parts of our current culture toward almost everything that makes us feel uncomfortable. This is evident in the unwillingness of college students across America to listen to people whose views differ from theirs. Since 2000, more than 300 attempts have been made by various college groups to disinvite speakers from their campuses, according to the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, a group that aims to protect free speech on college campuses. Student groups from both the left and right have tried to keep anyone from then-president George W. Bush to rapper Sean Combs from speaking at commencements and debates on their campuses. Additionally, one of the major points of DiAngelo’s “white fragility” says people who are white keep themselves from “racebased stress” by isolating themselves from interests and perspectives that challenge the normality of white culture. Our society practices the same concept as a whole on social media. In 2016, it was reported that 60 percent of people found it stressful and frustrating to talk to people they disagreed with politically on social media. As a result almost 40 percent of people blocked or unfriended people on social media because they posted things they did not agree with. The culture around us

has become one that talks a lot about tolerance, but blocks opposing views from our schools and our social media. We seem to have become a culture that is fragile. There are many different explanations for this fragility, but perhaps the biggest influencer is people’s tendency to think in black and white, which is also called thinking in binaries. Coming from our subconscious brain’s need to make split-second decisions, we tend to see ideas as fitting in only one of two polar opposite categories when we are under stress. This works well when trying to decide whether to fight a bear or run very fast in the opposite direction, but when dealing with the intricacies of the cultures and beliefs with others, seeing one side as right and the other as wrong simply fails to be effective. Our culture’s fragility is causing several problems. An obvious one is the most polarity our country has seen since perhaps the Civil War. A country built on the compromise of people such as Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson has rarely been so unwilling to have healthy conversation. People are less willing than ever to see, hear or talk about ideas and topics they don’t like or agree with. Trigger warnings guarantee we don’t have to perceive things that cause us discomfort and Political correctness says we don’t ever have to be offended. DiAngelo’s “white fragility” is just a part of American fragility. The things he sees on a racial spectrum largely apply to the overall culture of today’s America, especially on college campuses. Only when we recognize this fragility and its negative effect on our country will we be able to take the hard steps to begin to be the culture of tolerance and openness we want to be. sbreinoe@umail.iu.edu

Washington and federalism Gov. Inslee’s efforts to create sanctuary state will rile Trump Washington Gov. Jay Inslee signed an executive order Thursday restricting the power of state agencies to enforce federal immigration laws. The order essentially turns all of Washington into a sanctuary state. Though this executive order is a step in the right direction for human rights, it will likely cause some friction between the state and Trump. The order’s language focuses on inclusivity and diversity in Washington. The order acknowledges that Washington “embraces diversity with compassion and tolerance and recognizes the value of immigrants.” Whether Trump likes it or not, Washington will stand by these principles. Specifically, the order mandates that no small government organization can use funding or resources to
inquire into the legal status of an immigrant for the sole purpose of seeing if they’re here legally. Additionally, no government organization can create or maintain a list of all members of any specific religion in Washington. Realistically, this means Washington won’t be actively seeking out illegal immigrants or documenting Muslim citizens in the state. The Editorial Board admires Inslee standing his ground. In a news conference, he said “Washington will not be a willing participant in promoting or carrying out mean-spirited policies that break up families and compromise our national security and, importantly, our community safety.” This statement is a verbal slap in the face to the Trump administration’s attitude toward both undocumented
immigrants and Muslims. Between the executive order banning Muslim-majority nations and the promise of a wall between the United States and Mexico, it’s safe to say the Trump administration is a bit unfriendly toward these groups. The largest unanswered question in the wake of this executive order is whether the federal government will do anything to make Washington comply. The Editorial Board thinks the Trump administration’s recent response to marijuana is a bad sign. Though marijuana is federally illegal, states such as Colorado and Oregon have been allowed to sell it without much federal crackdown. The White House hinted last week, however, that it might step up federal enforcement of marijuana laws.
If we see increased enforcement of marijuana laws, it will indicate a trend toward taking away states’ autonomy in favor of federal authority. We doubt that a sanctuary state will be allowed to exist under this administration. In much the same way that the new administration wants to see federal authority override states on issues such as marijuana legalization, it seems likely the same will occur with sanctuary cities. The Editorial Board wants to see the end of unfair immigration policies and detests the idea of a religious registry. Inslee’s executive order is a bold, humanitarian statement. It reinforces the inclusivity and diversity of Washington and it stands up to a federal government trying to gain more control.

GETTING IN THE GROOVE
Overcome senioritis this year
Arts funding is vitally important
I have ten weeks left of my final semester at IU. Ten weeks to get through the last bits of classes, and to soak in all the experiences I’ve taken for granted for the past four years. But there’s a complexity to final semester senior year that I hadn’t expected — senioritis. It’s a little different for every senior, but seems to manifest itself most often in a combination of delight at the prospect of no longer having to attend classes and a stringent desire to never leave our beloved IU. I fluctuate often between the two feelings, but in my final semester, I seem to be stuck on the latter. The knowledge that I am graduating and will so shortly be leaving IU behind has colored almost every experience I’ve had so far this year with gray sadness. In my head I’ve made a list of “The Lasts” — my last time in the student section of Memorial Stadium, the last literature class I completed for my English degree, the last time I will walk to class, my last Little 500. Some lasts have happened already and some are yet to come, already tainted by my sadness before I even experience them. My senioritis reached
its peak this weekend at the IU vs. Northwestern game. The game also functioned as Senior Night in honor of the graduating class, chief among us IU basketball player Collin Hartman, the only senior on this year’s roster. It was an incredible game — a nail-biter that ended in victory for IU — but even as I shared in the euphoric happiness that swept through Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall, that senior sadness overcame me. As much as I wanted to stay in the moment, I couldn’t shake the knowledge that this was my final IU basketball game as a student, perhaps even my last moments in Assembly Hall. I was sad as well as frustrated by my own somber mood. But then, in his senior farewell speech just after the victory over Northwestern, Collin Hartman did something that knocked me out of my tearful reverie. He called his girlfriend, IU cheerleader and fellow senior Hayley Daniel, to join him on the court and asked her to marry him. She accepted to much applause. The moment was meaningful for a lot of reasons, but for me, it was a lesson that

I’ve been looking at my senior year all wrong. Here were two people teetering on the same precipice that I was — graduation, leaving IU — that were making a visible commitment to being excited about the future sans-Bloomington. Now, I’m not advocating going out and grabbing the first likely-looking coed you see, but I do think the Hartman-Daniel engagement is a testament to the fact that life doesn’t stop when we graduate. There are milestones to reach and happy memories to be made outside of the college experience, something I seem to have forgotten in the past few months. While I may not have a specific event like a wedding to look forward to, spending the rest of my senior year knee-deep in nostalgia is a waste of what time I have left here. Why mar a perfectly good experience with moping? Better to go out with a bang — save the sadness and reminiscence for the fifty year reunion. rjdague@indiana.edu
President Trump’s new budget director, former Rep. Mick Mulvaney, R-SC, has released a list of nine domestic programs that the new administration is preliminarily planning to reduce or cut, attempting to shrink the deficit and national debt. Among them are the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and the National Endowments for the Arts and the Humanities. This cut will have little effect on the national budget, less than .02 percent of the overall budget, but will harm the cultural landscape of our country profoundly. Trump has unrelentingly marketed himself as the guy who will be able to wrangle the national debt and budget into a manageable number thanks to his business acumen. As he said a little more than a week ago in regard to his forthcoming budget proposal, “I want the American people to know that our budget will reflect their priorities. We’ll be directing all of our departments and agencies to protect every last American and every last tax dollar. No more
wasted money.” Sure, we shouldn’t be throwing around billions of dollars like it’s no big deal. But public arts funding is an important and vital institution that benefits everyone. Cutting arts funding will hardly make a dent in the national deficit, but a large cultural void will be left in the fallout. The organizations do not plan on taking this lying down. As the New York Times reported, Robert L. Lynch , head of Americans for the Arts said “The public wants to see agencies like the N.E.A. continue. There is always a debate, but there has been agreement among Republicans and Democrats that funding for the arts is a good thing, and it has been kept in place.” PBS, one program funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, is near and dear to my heart. It’s linked inexorably to my childhood; I can fondly recall episodes of “Arthur,” “Dragon Tales,” “Sesame Street” and “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood.” While PBS receives donations and other sources of funding, it will most

likely take a hit if some of its public funding is stripped. Many people of my generation remember learning how to count with Count von Count, a character on “Sesame Street.” It saddens me to think that future generations may not have a similar cultural icon with which to associate their first learning experiences. NPR is another example; I’ve spent many road trips tuned into their popular news game show, “Wait, Wait...Don’t Tell Me!” As a kid who had no clue what many things in the local newspaper meant, I was able to gain a rudimentary understanding of what was going on in the world thanks to “Wait, Wait... Don’t Tell Me!” Public broadcasting and arts funding are necessary cornerstones of our country’s cultural landscape. The programs that receive this funding are many things — informative, educational and inspiring — but “wasteful” is not one of them. acgroove@umail.iu.edu anna_groover

AADC workshops return to Neal-Marshall By Sanya Ali siali@indiana.edu | @siali13
The 19th annual African American Dance Company workshops aim to celebrate and teach participants about the variety in dance tradition rooted in the African American and African diaspora communities. This year’s workshops, taking place March 3 and 4 at the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center, will include not only some familiar faces as visiting instructors, but the new addition of the vogue dance style taught by choreographer Cesar Valentino. Hannah Crane, special projects assistant and communications specialist with the African American Arts Institute at IU, said inviting Valentino to the lineup of instructors was part of a partnership with the LGBTQ+ Culture Center. “We’re bringing in a dance form that exposes that intersectionality in dance and in our communities,” Crane said. “Vogue has its history rooted in LGBTQ as well as black and Latino communities.” The goal of the workshops in general is to bring together people of all ages, from IU students and

IU junior dancer starts her teaching career early By Xiaoan Guan guanxiao@indiana.edu
From being a junior contemporary dance major at IU to helping teach dance, Morgan Johnson has learned to balance her dance life as a student. Kristin Lovino, the owner of the new local dance school MotionArts Dance Academy, said Johnson was recommended to her as a teacher by a fellow dancer.. The first semester the school was open Johnson started teaching modern dance classes for kids and contemporary classes for teens. Since it first opened, Johnson has added up to three classes including a jazz and hip-hop. Recently, she was the choreographer for a dance piece that was selected to perform at the 2017 Regional Alternative Dance Festival on March 12 in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Having three dancers from IU work for her dance school, Lovino said it’s a win-win for them and their
student dancers. Lovino said their kids get to work with Johnson and she gets opportunities to work with other dance companies. Johnson sat down with the Indiana Daily Student to discuss her role and what lies ahead for her career and class. Why did you choose to be a teacher at this point of your college career? Johnson: “I have always loved teaching. I was an assistant dance teacher for seven or eight years. I always loved interacting with kids and experiencing their craziness because they’re so just great, and I have danced forever, so it’s just a great combination of teaching what I love and kids that I love.” Did you face any challenges while being a teacher and a student at the same time? Johnson: “There’s been a few, you know, time conflicts, and it’s weird kind of teaching kids to be performers when right now I am a performer myself. Teaching
here is actually an escape from the hectic schedule at school. I prepare my classes here for each week and it’s kind of a stress reliever actually.” How long have you prepared for the piece for the RAD Festival? Lovino: “We started working on it in September and joined the audition in October. Two pieces we prepared for the festival both got selected. It’s exciting for Morgan as a choreographer because this is a regional contemporary dance festival that professional dancers perform and set choreography too.” Where do you see yourself going in the future? Johnson: “Hopefully, while my body is able to dance professionally for a good amount of my life in some contemporary company, and after that, hopefully with all of my knowledge from my small business minor that I might own a studio myself.”
learn history, they will learn culture and politics,” Rosa said. “We tend to have preconceived notions about dance that comes from African tradition — that they’re all fun and have no technique and structure. These
professional practitioners, these artists, will put all of that in context from a historical, cultural and social perspective.” Crane said students — especially those coming through the scholarship
program — are given the opportunity to find a connection to dance styles that they may not see in generally Eurocentric dance education, which puts an emphasis on certain styles such as ballet.
MAN IN MAASTRICHT
Dutch Carnival weekend opens world of new experiences Over the last four-plus weeks, nearly every corner of Maastricht, the Netherlands, has been draped in red, yellow and green flags. Costume shops have enjoyed surges in business to supplement their Halloween sales, and town has been abuzz with talk of Carnival weekend. Carnival is in many ways a European cousin of the American celebration of Mardi Gras. It’s difficult for me to compare Dutch — more specifically, Rhenish — Carnival, which took place this past weekend, to the Mardi Gras festivities in New Orleans. The days-long event was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before. Over the weekend and through the start of Carnival week, businesses close for the holidays. Maastricht University even gives its students the entire week off. Many contend that Carnival’s early roots stem from ancient pagan celebrations, but the modern incarnation is at its heart a Roman Catholic celebration in preparation of Ash Wednesday and the
Lenten season. The word ‘carnival’ comes from the Latin phrase ‘carnem levare,’ meaning to remove meat. Between Friday afternoon and Monday, streets are filled with small children and older people alike, all decked out in elaborate costumes. I learned this weekend that the more outrageous and strange the costume, the better. My first taste of the festivities came in Roermond, a small Dutch town about 50 kilometers, or a little more than 30 miles, from Maastricht. I expected Roermond’s celebration Friday to be a warm-up for the weekend in Maastricht, but 14 hours of partying later, I realized I was only being foolish. I regret not being able to fully participate in the singing of traditional Dutch carnival songs, but dancing proved to be the universal language. One thing about Carnival that I found to be particularly interesting was the dynamic between age groups. You might see a grown man in a dinosaur onesie vomiting in the street 10 feet away from

a group of six-year-olds or a man in a nurse outfit pushing a sex doll in a wheelchair as wide-eyed adolescents gaze on. Yet to locals, Carnival is a family event. My first Carnival was a thrilling experience, but it wasn’t all a blast. On Sunday night, I suspect my wallet was pickpocketed, which threw a wrench into my travel plans for my week off class. The scene in the streets Monday morning made Sundays in the IU tailgate fields look like a nature preserve. In the Vrijthof, the epicenter of the celebration, the roads were ankle-deep in plastic cups, broken glass and remnants of costumes. Once I’m able to regain access to my bank account, I’ll travel to Paris and Barcelona for my week off. I could’ve gone without this little hiccup, but at least I have some incredible experiences to make up for it.
GETTING POLITICAL
Modern Berlin feels like a ghost town The wide streets of Berlin lay quiet at nearly any time of day. This weekend I continued my travels into Berlin. I was curious to see what the place that had been a shifting political landscape for years would look like today. I had a hard time figuring out how to describe Berlin. I spent the first day looking for the city center — my friends and I thought we were on the outskirts of the city for hours because hardly anyone was there. It turned out the center was a block away. You normally can hear the hustle and bustle of the middle of the city. The second day we took a free walking tour. By this point, I was starting to suspect it wasn’t just us — the city was haunted, in a way. As it usually is, my gut was right. Our tour guide said the city was vastly underpopulated, at only 3.4 million people. Anywhere we walked, there was a stillness. We passed countless wide open squares meant for socializing that missed the most important part — the people. Our tour guide explained a lot of this was due to World War II and the Cold War. Combined with the people who fled during the split of Berlin, the economy had no chance of surviving a mostly communist leadership. So,
people left. This helped me rationalize a bit. I still felt like I was missing something. There are still millions of people that have lived here, Berlin is one of the most famous cities in the world. It felt like a ghost town. At least the historical center, it is filled with either reminders of what the city went through, the horrors it witnessed or the construction it’s done since to rebuild it. I’ve been a pretty serious history buff since I was six. I’ve read many WWII and Holocaust testimonials, children’s diaries and books written after the war. I thought I knew everything about WWII and Germany. This trip showed me no matter how much you read about the eerie hostility that thrived in Germany for so long, you can’t really know until you feel it. The psychology of Germany has fascinated me for the longest time. An entire generation was essentially taken over and oppressed, more than once. First with the National Socialist Party and then later on during the Cold War after the Berlin Wall appeared until its fall in 1990. The people here have been through so much that many just want to forget. Our tour guide even told us nationalism is publicly
nonexistent. For many years after the end of the war in Germany in 1945, people didn’t show their pride. At the 1974 World Cup in West Germany, the entire Germany soccer team didn’t sing along to their own national anthem. Our tour guide said many Germans just did not feel comfortable with that outward expression of their country. Though it’s been so many years since Germany was under Nazi control, and almost three decades since the Berlin Wall fell and Germany reunited, the people haven’t recovered. A controversial speech, made last week by Björn Höcke, a chair of the Alternative for Germany’s Thuringia, a branch of a far-right nationalist party, urged that the country to make “a 180-degree turn” on how it reflects on its Nazi past. This speech was met with extreme disapproval by many parties in Germany, according to a Reuters article. I was fascinated by this idea, of actions by a country haunting itself. I was even more intrigued by one of the last things our guide said. He took us to the Bebelplatz Square, where the infamous Nazi book burning took place on May 10, 1933. It was led by young people,

taken by the Nazi Party ideals employed by Hitler Youth and SS members. There are two memorials here. An empty bookshelf in the ground signifies all of the ideas and expression lost within the flame, and includes a plaque with an inscription by Heinrich Heine. Heine was a playwright who was quoted in 1820, more than 100 years before the burning. The plaque reads, ”Das war ein Vorspiel nur, dort wo man Bücher verbrennt, verbrennt man am Ende auch Menschen,” or, in English, “That was only a prelude; where they burn books, they will in the end also burn people.” This was from his play, “Almansor,” published during a time when anti-Semitic ideals were popular in Germany. There is no limit to history repeating itself — I wonder about our current extreme situations. With Europe and the U.S. especially moving in extreme directions toward the left and right, I wonder how we will interpret this quote in years to come, and if we’ll ever forget what the world works so hard to make us remember. I wonder if we’re already forgetting. haask@umail.iu.edu

IU hoping to spoil celebration at Purdue By Zain Pyarali zpyarali@iu.edu | @ZainPyarali
A year removed from IU’s Big Ten regular season title, rival Purdue has a chance to lock up a share of this season’s conference crown Tuesday against the Hoosiers. The first matchup between these two teams this season was decided by two possessions, but the Boilermakers walked out of Simon Skojdt Assembly Hall with the win. Six of IU’s last seven games have been decided by six points or less, and the Hoosiers were finally able to execute down the stretch in Saturday’s win against Northwestern to snap a
five-game losing streak. IU Coach Tom Crean said the fact his team was able to get over the hump and win a close game shows the resolve and character the Hoosiers have. However, if IU wants to spoil a championship celebration Tuesday, it will have to bank on the same persistence it had Saturday to win inside a raucous Mackey Arena. “We’ve been told it gets crazy, it gets loud, and a lot of things are said,” freshman guard Devonte Green said. “Just got to keep your head on straight and don’t let them get to you.” The Hoosiers’ biggest test Tuesday night will be down low. IU will try to limit
Purdue sophomore forward and national player of the year candidate Caleb Swanigan and his 7-foot-2-sidekick junior forward Isaac Haas. IU relied on both of its 6-foot-10 forwards, sophomore Thomas Bryant and freshman De’Ron Davis,in the first matchup to slow down the Boilermaker duo. Although Swanigan finished with 16 points and 14 rebounds, Haas registered just six points on 2-of-8 shooting. In the first matchup, Purdue senior forward Vince Edwards popped off for 26 points and eight rebounds. Crean said in addition to the two Boilermaker big men, players always have to know where Edwards is on the
floor. “It’s a team deal to me,” Crean said. “What’s most important is that we really lock in to not only how we guard Swanigan but what we do when the shot goes up. That’s the same with Haas and the same with Edwards.” One thing that’s reassuring for IU entering this rivalry game is the fact it has posted the top 3-point defense in the league in the past six games. IU has held its opponents to 27-percent shooting from beyond the arc and even kept Purdue, the top 3-point shooting team in the league, to 29 percent in that span. Crean said Purdue scores the ball so efficiently because its guards do an excellent job

of moving without the basketball, which leads to open looks from distance. But, Crean said he is confident in his team’s defense and the way it has gotten better in the past few games. “I don’t think you guard the 3 the way we’re doing it and guard the perimeter or the post the way we’re doing it if you’re not improving,” Crean said. “The field goal percentage defense to this day even gets skewed because of the turnovers.” During the course of the year, IU has had 13 games that have been within three points with less than a minute to go. The turnovers and mistakes IU commits in the
course of the game pile up enough to ruin any chance of a victory by the end of it. Although the Hoosiers are facing the top team in the Big Ten on Tuesday, if they can cut down on the common mistakes, they’ll have a chance to take down the Boilermakers. “They can beat anybody in the country, this team, we’ve already proven that,” Crean said. “So we’ve got to find a way not only to win a close game like we did the other day, but do an even better job of finding that margin during the game where we can eliminate some of the mistakes we make when we have tough segments of the game.”

Women’s golf struggles in Ranked IU sophomore has first tournament of spring big goals for rest of season By Ryan Lucas lucasry@indiana.edu @RyanLucasIU
The IU women’s golf team took two practice trips to Arizona to warm up for the spring season, but the Hoosiers still seemed rusty in their first tournament since October. IU finished in 13th place at the Westbrook Spring Invitational in Peoria, Arizona, with a team score of 898 (plus 34) in three rounds. The Hoosiers finished 37 strokes behind tournament champion Kansas State (minus 3). IU Coach Clint Wallman said the last-place finish was

not what he expected of the team coming out of winter break and the training trips. “It definitely gives us a barometer of where we are at, and we need to assess stuff and move forward for our next event,” Wallman said. Senior Ana Sanjuan led the way for the Hoosiers with an individual score of 214 (minus 2) and finished tied for sixth in the individual standings. Sanjuan recorded her third top-10 finish this year, and her sixth-place performance was her highest individual finish of the season. Sanjuan said she worked hard in practice before the tournament and that her
hard work paid off. “Today I didn’t play my best, but I played the round, and I shot even par without playing my best golf,” Sanjuan said. “That means I am a good player and I can win tournaments so it makes me confident.” Sanjuan’s teammates were unable to match her individual success throughout the weekend, as IU was the only team in the tournament that didn’t have two players finish in the top 40 individually.

IU sophomore Antonio Cembellin said he accomplished one of his dreams on Jan. 21, after leading the Hoosier singles lineup at position one against Bryant University. Last week Cembellin said he accomplished another dream after the Intercollegiate Tennis Association ranked him as the No. 125 singles player of the country. However the Spain native said there are still a lot of goals and dreams for him to accomplish because he still has two years of eligibility remaining after this year.
He, along with his teammates, will seek to be playing in the NCAA Tournament this season. “He for sure has been a big motivation for myself and for the guys,” IU freshman Bennett Crane said. “Kind of gives myself and the other guys a sense of belief that we can be in that spot, and try to get ranked as he is.” Cembellin is from Avila, Spain, where he attended Isabel de Castilla High School. During his time playing in Spain he matched up against top-level opponents that developed his intense and aggressive style of playing today. He played for Club Tennis
Avila, where he battled against national teams in Spain’s second division. Though soccer is the main sport in Spain, Cembellin said his tennis team had a bigger effect in his community, since it was the most successful sports team. He also played in some International Tennis Federation tournaments last summer in Europe. In May, he played with IU teammate sophomore Afonso Salgado in doubles at the Portugal F6. They reached the round of 16. “I played Futures, and I said, ‘Let’s see what I have SEE TENNIS, PAGE 11

Three Hoosiers make All-Big Ten teams announced in Monday’s season awards From IDS reports
The Big Ten announced its postseason women’s basketball awards Monday for the 2016-17 season and three Hoosiers earned honors. Junior guard Tyra Buss was named first-team AllBig Ten by both the coaches and the media, while junior forward Amanda Cahill was named second-team All-Big Ten by both the coaches and the media. Senior guard Alexis Gassion was named to the AllBig Ten defensive team and was named an All-Big Ten honorable mention, her first career yearly awards from the conference. Buss earned first-team honors for the second consecutive season. Before last season, no IU player had been
named to the first team since Cyndi Valentin in 2006. Buss leads IU with 18.6 points per game and 4.9 assists per game and was placed on the watch lists for the Wade Trophy and Naismith Trophy, both of which honor the NCAA player of the year. With 540 points so far this season, Buss is the third player in program history to record back-to-back 500 point seasons. She also set the school record for a doublefigure scoring streak this season, which spanned 59 games dating back to her freshman year. Cahill has nearly averaged 15 points per game and 9.2 rebounds per game in 2016-17. The Clyde, Ohio, native has a team high 11 double-doubles and has scored at least 10 points in 28 of the team’s 29
games this season. A season ago, she was named to the second-team All-Big Ten by the coaches, while the media named her an honorable mention. Gassion joins former Hoosier Kim Robinson as just the second IU player ever to be named to the Big Ten All-Defensive team. IU Coach Teri Moren typically gave Gassion the toughest defensive assignment in each game this season and she performed well enough to earn All-Conference honors. This season, the Fairborn, Ohio, native averaged 12.6 points per game and 4.5 assists per game. IU returns to action in the Big Ten Tournament this Friday at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

Hot takes are getting way too hot, so let’s make them great again We did it. Collectively, we’ve done it. The boiling point has been reached. The era of hot takes has officially gotten too hot. I’m not sure when we reached the marker. Perhaps it was with the admonishing of Panthers’ quarterback Cam Newton or the political takes scorching around the New England Patriots. Perhaps it was the LeBron James-isn’tactually-that-good judgement that Fox Sports 1 talking head Skip Bayless has repeatedly trotted out to insignificant applause. There are always epochs in sports journalism, and currently, we’re in the dead-center of the hot take time period. No longer do facts or concrete realities matter; it’s now just about who can say the most outlandish opinion to receive animosity. All news is good news in the sports media world. Bayless, Stephen A. Smith, Jason Whitlock, Clay Travis and

Horoscope Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 9 — Tap another source of revenue. Your ideas are attracting attention. Pay expenses before splurging. Stand up to a critic, even the one in your own head. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 9 — Go for a personal goal, even though conditions may be unstable. Guard against fears and impetuous action. Handle responsibilities on time. Resolve practical details.
Greg Gottfried is a senior in journalism.
Colin Cowherd are just a select few of the empire that focuses on yelling, screaming and ranting rather than giving compelling opinions. FS1, in particular, has built an entire company around the mantra of “embrace debate.” It is frankly disgusting and exhausting at the same time. Along with the increase in outspoken and ignorant remarks, we have reached a point where “journalists” think it’s their business to argue with players. Recently, TNT’s NBA pregame and postgame show, “Inside The NBA,” has gotten some attention for its backand-forths with current NBA players. Former player Shaquille O’Neal has gotten into it with the Warriors’ Kevin Durant and JaVale McGee, while current blowhard Charles Barkley has gotten into it with James and many other players throughout his tenure as a sports analyst.
I understand this isn’t as much journalism as it is entertainment, but there are many who confuse the two. Those looking to breathe out the hottest of takes have overshadowed the actual columnists and writers who are doing their best to back up their opinions with substantive research, facts and quotes. It’s okay to throw out a hot take once in a while to be provocative about a subject you believe in, but these hot take artists who have made it their duty to deliver lava straight to your door daily have ruined the entire art. You wake up in the morning and turn on the television. You no longer need coffee. Just turn on the dulcet tones of your local hot take artist and soak in the rage and fury. ESPN, FS1 — name a sports empire. If it talks about sports, you’re sure to find a
and said, ‘Come on, now let’s show what I learned from the summer here.’” As a freshman at IU, he finished an impressive season with an overall positive record, tying for second on the team in singles wins with now-senior Matthew McCoy IU played a strong afternoon round Sunday, shooting a team score of 296 (plus 8). Sanjuan shot her lowest score with a 3-under-par 69 and freshman Elisa Pierre shot
blistering opinion backed up by nonsense. Hot takes can be great. There’s a perfect world where someone talks about a bat flip without coming off as a
nonsensical buffoon. We’ve lost something great and replaced it with gobbledygook. Hot takes aren’t necessarily bad sportswriting. They’re fun and ultimately harmless
when done well. Yet, when done poorly, they’re infuriating and a stain on society. That’s my hot take.
with 19 total wins. However, in contrast to last season, Cembellin said he feels more comfortable today because college tennis can make players tougher mentally. In European Futures, Cembellin said, one can easily
win after winning the first set, but in college play you have to keep fighting throughout. This season Cembellin is 7-2 in singles play and has been constantly playing at No. 2 doubles with senior Stefan Lugonjic. With everything he has
learned in the last two seasons, Cembellin will seek to help IU get to its first NCAA Tournament since 2012. To do so he said the team will need to continue applying the strategies they have had the entire season and push forward to prove the

an even 72 to help the Hoosiers to their best round of the tournament. Wallman said the Hoosiers suffered from spotty execution throughout the
tournament. In the fall, the Hoosiers’ main struggle was their short game, but Wallman said issues for the team came up in all areas this weekend.
In preparation for the next tournament, Wallman said he will have the players get to work right away. “I think you’re going to see a lot better play from the
girls head-to-toe in a couple weeks,” Wallman said. “And I think there were a lot of positives that were taken away, it just didn’t correlate into the result we wanted.”
