John Mellencamp performs at IU Auditorium

By Adam Smith adbsmith@indiana.edu | @adbsmithIU

The kick drum used by John Mellencamp’s drummer had a simple message written on it.

On top was the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee’s name, and below, a sign of the pride he has for his hometown, “Bloomington, Ind.” John Mellencamp performed in front of a crowded IU Auditorium on Tuesday for the first of two shows at the venue.

The Bloomington rock legend is currently on an 80-night tour of

North America that started in South Bend on Jan. 21 and will end in Indianapolis on Aug. 4.

The tour is in support of his latest album, “Plain Spoken,” which was released in September 2014.

To open the show, Carlene Carter, daughter of June Carter Cash, granddaughter of “Mother” Maybelle Carter and stepdaughter of Johnny Cash, took the stage by herself with just an acoustic guitar to play a 10-song set.

Her most recent album, “Carter Girl,” which was released in 2014, is what she described as a compilation

of Carter family songs.

“I finally wanted to get around to doing a tribute to my family,” she said.

The ninth song Carter played in her set, “Me and the Wildwood Rose,” was a song she had recycled from her 1990 album, “I Fell In Love.”

The song talks about Carter’s childhood growing up in the backseat of a big, black Cadillac and watching “Mother” Maybelle Carter perform from the side of the stage.

When the song ended, she SEE MELLENCAMP, PAGE 6

From Wisconsin’s first possession, the game plan was obvious.

Get the ball inside. Then do it again. Repeat until victory.

After winning the opening tipoff, Wisconsin dumped the ball in to 6-foot-8 forward Nigel Hayes, who scored easily.

On the next two Badger possessions, 7-foot center Frank Kaminsky had little trouble pushing his way to the rim and scoring. Then Wisconsin kicked it out to Hayes, who hit a wide-open 3-pointer.

It was a 9-0 Badger run. No. 5 Wisconsin (20-2, 8-1) found little difficulty throughout the rest of the game on its way to an easy 92-78 win against IU (16-7, 6-4).

“The only issue I have within the game is that we didn’t challenge them with the passing, within the post,” IU Coach Tom Crean said. “We know we’re small. We have got to be absolutely scrappy.”

The Hoosiers weren’t scrappy enough.

Possession after possession, Wisconsin pounded the ball inside, using its size to overpower a small IU team. The strategy worked primarily through Kaminsky and Hayes, who combined to score 39 points on 14-of-17 shooting.

Kaminsky — the front-runner for Big Ten Player of the Year and a Wooden Award finalist — scored a game-high 23 points.

The loss was IU’s 13th in a row in Wisconsin’s Kohl Center, a streak dating back to 1998. The Hoosiers have been beaten by an average of 13.7 points per game during that span.

Freshman guard James Blackmon Jr., the Hoosiers’ leading scorer this season, was held out with an ankle injury he suffered late in Saturday’s game against Rutgers. Crean said Blackmon was a game-time decision.

“James tried,” Crean said. “He definitely tried. It was a matter of what he could deal with, pain-wise.”

Nick Zeisloft started in Blackmon’s place and scored a teamhigh 17 points. The junior guard shot 5-of-9 from 3-point range.

In the end, it didn’t matter how much the Hoosiers scored. The IU defense simply couldn’t slow down Wisconsin long enough to make it a contest.

IU put together a 30-10 run late in the second half, but it was far too late. Crean said the late run was more frustrating than promising — a glimpse of what could have been.

“I know I should probably be more politically correct right now and say, ‘Hey, what a great comeback,’ but that’s not what we’re trying to do here,” he said.

BFC discusses purpose Obama to speak in Indianapolis of higher education From IDS reports

By Ashleigh Sherman aesherma@indiana.edu | @aesherma

The Bloomington Faculty Council discussed the purpose of higher education at a meeting Tuesday.

The BFC discussed a resolution addressing the American Association of University Professors Centennial Declaration.

The AAUP works to advance academic freedom and shared governance and define higher educational values and standards, all to ensure higher education’s contribution to the public good, according to the AAUP website.

In light of the AAUP centennial, the association recently released the AAUP Centennial Declaration, which affirms the main purpose of institutions of higher education is to contribute to the public good, not to the good of the institution or the good of an individual

faculty member affiliated with the institution.

Broken into 10 points, the declaration states the primary mission of institutions of higher education is teaching, followed by researching and addressing social disadvantage.

The declaration further states an individual faculty member should teach, research and address social disadvantage to disseminate knowledge and foster creativity, not to make a profit for the individual faculty member, the institution of higher education or a third party.

The declaration also states faculty should use information and communication technologies to improve the quality of teaching and research, not to degrade the quality of teaching and research by reducing faculty-student SEE BFC, PAGE 6

IU student speaks at Indiana Senate

By Alyson Malinger afmaling@indiana.edu | @aly_mali

Morgan Mohr, an IU sophomore in political science and history, testified against the Indiana Senate elections committee regarding Senate Bill 466 on Monday.

M o h r represented herself in this testimony, but she said she had the interests of all of Morgan Mohr her fellow students in mind.

Senate Bill 466 involves various election matters, including all elections from midterms to general elections. Section 6 was the part of the bill that ignited Mohr’s drive to speak up in her state.

That particular section of the bill states that a person cannot gain residency in a precinct in which the person is physically present for temporary employment, educational purposes, prepar-

ing to purchase or occupy a residence or other purposes without the intent of making a permanent home in the precinct.

“It restricts and disenfranchises students to where their homes and communities are at school,” Mohr said.

Mohr said it essentially boils down to the where the student considers home to be, but this section is forcing students to allow the state to make that decision for them.

One of the main concerns Mohr has regarding this restriction is the disturbance on civic engagement. When students are forced to fill out absentee ballots in order to perform their civic duty, they become lazy and uninterested in voting in general, she said.

In the 2014 midterm elections, IU had a significantly low turnout for students going to the polls.

Section 6, through the eyes of Mohr, fuels voter suppression rather than the needed

encouragement to vote.

“Indiana in general has the lowest turnout in the country,” Mohr said. “We need to facilitate voter registration to fix this problem.”

Looking at the bill as a whole, some changes are common with election codes.

Transition to digital voting booths and ballot counting makes some changes inevitable. The codes are part of a constant negotiation between both sides of the political spectrum.

Mohr said she believes the solution is to return the section to its original wording.

This would allow residents to easily prove residency in their desired precinct without the push of the law behind them.

No bias towards college voters would exist in Mohr’s scenario.

Mohr said she has a plea for her fellow students to be aware of what is happening around them. She said she doesn’t believe IU would have a large enough political

push in its current state.

The last part of this section Mohr said she believes could be a detriment to her and her peers is the aspect of “brain draining.” Brain draining is the emigration of intelligent people to somewhere for better conditions, causing the place they came from to lose those skilled people, or “brains.”

When students leave the state to attend school other places, it can have huge economic ramifications on Indiana.

Students might become more inclined to leave the state if their voice is not allowed within the state.

Mohr said she always had plans to go testify against this particular section once it was officially announced. She is very politically active both on and off campus.

“I believe fundamentally the right to vote should not be a partisan issue,” Mohr said.

“This attacks the centrality of my beliefs.”

Union Board revamps advertising

By Bridget Murray bridmurr@indiana.edu @bridget_murray

In preparation for comedian Adam DeVine’s performance Feb. 25 at IU Auditorium, Union Board has revamped its advertising strategies.

Steven Johnson, vice president of marketing for Union Board, said all of the committees have united to increase student awareness of the event.

Union Board has been advertising during its other events, including setting up information tables and using on-screen advertisements before its weekly movie in Whittenberger Auditorium, he said.

“We have done a boardwide effort to table to get physical, kind of person-to-person contact,” Johnson said.

Union Board also launched a contest on Twitter, #LetsGetWeird, to promote the show.

Participants who tweet with the hashtag will be entered to win two free tickets to the show, which are normally $22.50 to $32.50 for students.

The contest ends Feb. 18, one week before the event.

Johnson said promoting the event on social media allows for a more organic form of advertising and caters to a specific audience of DeVine’s fans.

“Basically, it focuses on that group we really want to hit, which is people who know about Adam DeVine,” he said.

Union Board is shooting for at least 2,000 tickets sold, Johnson said.

They would break even at 1,900 tickets sold.

“We want all of our big shows like this to at least break even, if possible,” said Union Board Vice President of Finance Adam Fialkowski.

Johnson said he would ideally like to see 2,800 tickets sold.

The collaborative marketing efforts of the entire Board are necessary in meeting its goal, Johnson said.

“We made it clear to the Board that if you want a budget to program your own events, you have to help market Adam DeVine,” he said.

The Board entered the semester with some deficit from previous events and hopes DeVine’s show will help balance them out, Johnson said.

“A lot of events went over in their expenses, so that cut into our rollover budget,” Johnson said. “Adam DeVine is how we’re going to recoup that.”

Many of the larger events planned by Union Board have “frozen funds” programmed into the budget, Johnson said.

Frozen funds are used to compensate if the event did not break even.

Johnson said the use of these funds would leave

less money to go back into the budget, and the Board would have to shift into “passive programming,” events that do not cost the Board money to host.

There is no certainty as to how successful the event will be, but Fialkowski is optimistic.

“As with any big show, there is risk involved,” he said.

“Some shows do better than others, and we certainly think that this one is one that can do very well if we market it correctly.”

While their efforts are focused on promoting DeVine’s performance now, Johnson said this would make way for stronger advertising efforts in the future.

“Adam DeVine just happens to be the event that the whole Board can get practice uniting behind,” he said.

“Now the Board knows what it takes to market every event like this.”

Jay Winter, Charles J. Stille Professor of History at Yale University, presented a version of history that might revolutionize the current concept of World War I. Pens scribbled quickly in the audience as Winter introduced transnational history through memoirs Tuesday in Franklin Hall.

Winter defined transnational history as a way of approaching knowledge of historical events with global records in mind.

He said the history of an event, in this case World War I, cannot be understood entirely if it is told in only one language.

“You can do the history of national contributions in English of places like New Zealand,” he said. “But you cannot do the history of the war.”

He said in order to understand the history of the war, scholars must learn the accounts of the war in many different languages of many different nations.

When Winter was approached by a French man to create a museum in commemoration of World War I, he decided to “break the vertical approach of history” by designing a more passive display.

The museum displays articles and archives of family members who contributed to the war.

The articles are laid in the shape of soldiers in fosses — leaving an aura that provokes thought in the visitors’ minds, he said.

“Silence, above all, is the most powerful language,” Winter said.

He said by not contributing music to the museum, the display created a more moving environment.

He also said the Great War was truly revolutionized by the photographic elements that have emerged in past years.

“What people see is much more powerful than

IU Office of Online Education appoints new director From IDS reports

Chris J. Foley has been appointed the assistant vice president and director of the Office of Online Education, according to an IU press release.

Foley has worked on IU campuses for more than 18 years. For the past 10 years he’s been at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis.

Ten years before that, he worked as chief of

operations for undergraduate admissions and director of international admissions for the Blooming- Chris Foley ton campus.

As part of his new position in Bloomington, Foley will lead the Office of Online Education, which offers high quality online programs, according to the press release.

He will be overseeing the management and coordina-

tion of all online education across IU campuses.

Foley’s appointment will be effective March 1.

The Shared Services Initiative Foley helped lead worked to coordinate online programs at IUPUI and across all IU campuses. It consolidated student service units and brought together policies and business practices, according to the press release.

Foley also started an international student recruitment plan while working at IUPUI

that increased the freshman class by 34 percent and improved academic diversity and preparation, according to the press release.

“I’m excited to lead the Office of Online Education for Indiana University,” Foley said in the press release. “IU already has a significant and growing presence in online education, and it will be rewarding to build on these initial successes.”

what people read,” he said.

Through photos of World War I, he saw many different cultures coming together.

He showed pictures of African, Chinese and Indian soldiers of the time, belonging to ethnic groups which he did not know contributed in such volume to the war.

He shared images such as postcards where a wounded African American soldier was being nursed by a white woman.

He said through these images he discovered the realness in transnational efforts throughout the war.

“I want to take transnational history as the narrative of history — in this case the Great War — written by transnational historians,” Winter said.

As editor of the threevolume edition of “The Cambridge History of the Great War,” Winter said the generation of historians to come have been left a great responsibility.

He said the next generations have been left the task of creating a transnational documentation of World War I, as well as other accounts of history.

He said because of the transnational developments in our education system, the first World War is “still with us.”

He said the future generations have a responsibility to unveil the unspoken events that create the history of World War I. “I find it daunting the amount of work that needs to be done in order to make this happen,” graduate student of history Jim Searer said.

Searer said he feels it is very natural for a nation to recount the events of history in its own language, from its own view.

“History emerged as always being told in context,” IU faculty member Heiko Mühr said.

“The idea of transnational history engaging all nations, it’s very interesting.”

Evans is also the author or editor of 11 books, most recently “Nuclear Weapons: The State of Play.”

Evans will be at IU from May 11-24. While at IU, Evans will teach an intensive advanced-level seminar on diplomacy, and participate in an international conference on campus about the Responsibility to Protect, according to the release.

“I am delighted to have this opportunity to pass on some of my experience to the next generation of international policymakers,” Evans said in the release. “The new school under Lee Feinstein’s leadership is an exciting and cutting-edge place to be, and I feel privileged to be part of the actions.”

Former state congressman’s life celebrated

By Daniel Metz dsmetz@indiana.edu | @DanielSMetz

Indiana has lost one of its prominent former politicians.

Former Representative to the United States Congress John Myers died in his home in Covington, Ind., on Jan. 27. Myers was born Feb. 8, 1927, making him 87 at the time of his death.

The funeral was held Saturday in Fountain County, where he was a lifelong citizen.

He served as the representative from Indiana’s 7th Congressional District

from 1967 until 1997, when he made the decision not to run for his 16th term in office.

Currently, the 7th Congressional District encompasses most of Marion County and Indianapolis, but at the time of Myers’ term in office, the district included a large portion of western Indiana, including Lafayette and Terre Haute.

At the time of his retirement, Myers was the third-most senior Republican in the House of Representatives.

He served on several committees within the

House and as a senior member of the House Appropriations Committee and ranking Republican on the House Ethics Committee.

Gov. Mike Pence issued a statement Jan. 28 commemorating Myers. “It was with deep sadness that I learned of the passing of former U.S. Congressman John Myers,� Pence said in the statement. “For three decades, John worked tirelessly to represent Hoosiers from west-central Indiana in the U.S. House of Representatives. The legacy of public service he leaves behind us is unmatched, and we do

well to strive to emulate his example.�

In addition to the issued statement, Pence instructed all flags at state facilities in Fountain County to be flown at half-staff the day of his funeral.

Myers was laid to rest with full military honors at the Mount Hope Cemetery in Covington.

One of his biggest legislative achievements was cosponsoring the Mammography Quality Standards Act of 1992, which regulated mammogram-offering facilities to increase effectiveness at detecting breast cancer.

Sen. Dan Coats, who worked with Myers while they were representing Indiana in the U.S. legislature in the 1990s, offered a comment on Myers’ passing. “It was a pleasure to serve in Congress with John Myers and call him a friend,� Coats said. “I join with countless others who are grateful for his devotion to Indiana.

Marsha (Coats’ wife) and I offer our condolences to his family.�

Myers is known for his loyal projects in his congressional district. Most notably was the Railroad Relocation Project, an effort to rear-

range and relocate some of the railroad crossings throughout Lafayette. It took 29 years and $186 million to complete.

Due to his dedication for the completion of the project, Myers had a pedestrian foot bridge named after him.

The Main Street Bridge was built as a result of the Railroad Relocation Project.

Myers graduated from Covington High School in 1945 before serving in the U.S. Army from 1945 until 1946. He graduated from Indiana State University in 1951.

30 iPads stolen from middle school

By Hannah Alani halani@indiana.edu | @HannahAlani

Monday morning at Tri North Middle School was not sluggish.

The Monroe County Community School Corporation middle school’s principal, Craig A. Fisher, alerted Bloomington Police that 30 iPads were stolen from the school, according to the Bloomington Police report.

The iPads, which are third generation and valued between $400 and $500 each, were likely stolen during the weekend, according to Sgt. John Kovach. Police filed the report at about 7:30 a.m.

Monday.

Fisher, after noticing the theft, alerted one of the few BPD officers who usually “hang out� at the middle school in the mornings, Kovach said.

The iPads were lifted from the charging cart, which was “damaged, destroyed and opened,� according to the report. “(Monroe County Community School Corporation) currently has several thousand iPads spread throughout all of our schools,� said Tim Pritchett, Monroe County Community School Corporation public relations person. “The devices have been purchased in a number of installments over the past

five years.�

This incident relates to one cart at the school which holds a maximum of 30 devices. The principal and assistant principals at the building level have direct access to video surveillance and have reviewed all available footage, Pritchett said.

The only suspect in the case is a juvenile male born in 2000, according to the report. He inquired about tracking devices in the iPads and the video surveillance system at Tri North last week, making him the lead suspect in the case, Sgt. Kovach said.

The total assessed value of damages is estimated

between $12,000 and $15,000, the report states. “As this is an ongoing BPD investigation, the District is not able to comment on any case specifics,� Pritchett said. “In the event of an incident on school grounds, MCCSC administrative personnel at the affected building along with those at our administrative offices work cooperatively with law enforcement to provide any available evidence or details related to the specific case.�

The theft could have been made possible by entry through an unsecured window, according to the report.

The investigation is active and ongoing.

Bloomington City Council reconvenes after break From IDS reports

The Bloomington City Council will meet for a regular session tonight after a two-week hiatus.

On the agenda for the meeting will be the reading of three ordinances. The first two are related to utility bonds.

The last has to do with a tax delay for Big O Properties, which owns property on South Walnut Street across from Chocolate Moose.

The delay or abatement was tabled at the last city council meeting, which took

place Jan. 14. Big O Properties asked the city council to delay the ordinance given a change in the plans for its proposed three-story building.

When Big O Properties was purchased, the property taxes for its 338 S. Walnut location were $4,000, but because of the rebuilding of the property to a three-story complex, the property taxes have risen to $40,875.

In addition, the ordinance will have Big O Properties’ building on 338 S. Walnut designated as an Economic Revitalization Area.

In an interview after the Jan. 14 Bloomington City Council meeting, newlyelected City Council President Dave Rollo said the plan could benefit Bloomington as the value of the property is set to go up, meaning the taxes Big O pays are likely to go up, as well.

Last week, the city council had a joint internal work session with the city plan commission, but it is now returning to its regular schedule.

There are no votes planned for Wednesday night’s meeting, which will feature the two utility bond ordinances

for first reading followed by public comment.

Last on the agenda is a motion that would refer ordinance 15-01, the special tax designation for Big O Properties, to committee.

The first two ordinances that are scheduled for first reading are to amend the city’s sewage and waterworks ordinances from March 2006.

Both ordinances will require a second reading but will not be debated and will require a simple majority in order to be passed.

The Senate Tax and Fiscal Committee unanimously approved Senate Bill 379, a measure proposed by Sen. Mark Stoops, D-Bloomington. This bill would create a mechanism to expand Bloomington Transit services throughout Monroe County.

BPD arrests man for December rape of minor From IDS reports

Bloomington police arrested 21-year-old Benjamin Haile on Monday on the charges of rape and sexual misconduct with a minor, Sgt. John Kovach said.

A 15-year-old girl went to Haile’s apartment with him at Colonial Crest Apartments, located on Gourley Pike, on Dec. 12, 2014. She consumed alcohol and remembers being on the porch of his house.

Haile led her up to his

room and she told him “no� before the rape occurred, but she couldn’t fight him off. She woke up in the bed naked. Later, she was able to take police to the apartment complex where the incident occurred, Kovach said.

The case was filed Jan. 28 with the Bloomington Police Department, and a warrant was issued for his arrest Monday. Haile declined to speak with police. This case remains active.

His co-dancer and brother shark Scott Myrick, who has killer dance moves for a fish, already changed his Twitter bio to reveal he is Right Shark. Snoop Dogg also made a statement via Twitter that he was Left Shark, but even DJ Snoopadelic has more rhythm than our boy in blue.

Perry has confirmed neither claim about the identity of her sharks.

Left Shark’s dance moves during Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream” resemble more of a nightmare.

His rhythm looks like that of a real shark’s, as if it were to flop onstage with Perry. But his character blows us out of the water. Through his awkwardness and failure, he becomes the “real MVP” of the Super Bowl.

Why are we so intrigued

by Left Shark?

Maybe it’s the desire to see others fail; his letdown fuels us in a way that no other catastrophes can satisfy. Or when he smacks his fin on his face, we have a sense of déjà vu — a feeling that we, too, have done something mediocre and become a disappointment.

Sometimes we are Left

Shark, and sometimes we are Right Shark, but at no point are we ever Katy Perry.

Personally, I’m surprised the creepy beach balls with faces didn’t catch on.

Left Shark can teach us a thing or two about sensationalization on the Internet.

In less than 24 hours, memes popped up over Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr.

He’s been photoshopped on movie posters for “Finding Nemo 2” and “Sharknado.”

A parody Twitter account for our fishy friend was up and running in no time.

Even the Vine of Left Shark butchering Perry’s dance sequence has gone viral. It’s a recurring reminder of a lack of grace and poise.

My personal favorite is a cropped picture of Left Shark praising to disciples in place of Jesus. He’s the hero we deserve, but not the one we need.

Is this all up to chance?

Yes, Super Bowl shows are under the greatest scrutiny.

From Janet Jackson’s Nipplegate, to Beyoncé’s lights blowout, to MIA’s unflattering finger gestures, the halftime show has been the focal point of critique during the biggest football game of the year.

There’s nothing you can do but simply sit back and take the evaluation in the waves that it comes.

While it’s safe to assume memes occur from random, almost holy, intervention, it’s unlikely Left Shark would have gone unnoticed during one of the most televised events.

SHRACK BITES

Making a bold statement Last Sunday’s Super Bowl was the most viewed television program this year.

While many viewers tuned in for the actual football game, many others watched to see what were expected to be hilarious commercials. However, many of the commercials this year took an emotional stance and sent out bold messages.

The NFL’s PSA on domestic violence sent what was arguably the most powerful message: Domestic violence needs to stop.

The commercial shows a variety of visceral shots of a home. The home looks beautiful at first.

However, further into the commercial we see items knocked over and walls that have been damaged.

What is heard during the commercial is shocking.

We hear a woman on the phone with a 911 operator conversing with him as if she is ordering a pizza because her abuser is in the room with her.

We then hear the operator tell her that he will be sending help. The commercial ends with these words across the screen: “When it’s hard to talk, it’s up to us to listen.”

There are many reasons the NFL might have released this commercial.

For one, it assists in the cleanup of the NFL’s public image. This season, multiple players faced charges for domestic violence.

The League was criticized for the leniency with which it handled the players’ punishments. It was not until thousands of fans and multiple media outlets criticized the way the League handled the situation that players were finally suspended.

The NFL was also criticized for not supporting victims of domestic violence.

By any beans necessary WE SAY: Make it recyclable or toss it Let’s talk about something that is close to all our hearts: coffee.

It is the substance sustaining throngs of college kids through brutal 8 a.m. economics classes and late nights of chemistry labs.

Many of us would insert it intravenously if we thought it could wake us up faster.

So, when Keurig told us all we could have any coffee we want in the convenience of a disposable plastic cup and two minutes of Keurig magic, we didn’t question it.

Yet, within the seemingly perfect Kcup, an environmental disaster brews.

As it turns out, this great advance in caffeine technology, commonly referred to as plastic, is predictably and horrifically wasteful.

The cups are small, expensive and not recyclable. Now they are piling up in our landfills across the country. In a report last week, National Public Radio states that Keurig produced over 18 billion K-cups in the last two years alone and over 60 billion cups riddle our landfills — hardly a fair trade for expediency.

Several competitors have tried to

ELISA SHRACK is a senior in human development.

This commercial, which spreads awareness about violence and says that we need to “make it stop,” might help smooth over any leftover criticism or concerns for the organization’s treatment of domestic violence.

The commercial might also have been released to make a statement of change.

This might be a strategy used by the NFL to acknowledge its past mistakes and promise to handle issues of domestic violence better in the future.

The fact that the commercial said “it’s up to us to listen” at the end may be the organization’s way of communicating its responsibility to protect victims of domestic violence.

Regardless of the possible public image reasons for releasing the commercial, the NFL sent a bold and important message during one of the most watched programs of the year. This commercial might encourage victims of domestic abuse reach out for help.

It also sent an important message to the millions of men who watched the game.

The Super Bowl was the perfect event to display a message against domestic violence because of the magnitude of its audience.

It might encourage some of those viewers to help support victims of domestic violence. The NFL could have released this commercial for a variety of reasons.

Regardless of those reasons, this commercial helped the public focus on this very significant issue. eshrack@indiana.edu

create pods that are recyclable, but the Editorial Board questions the effectiveness of such an effort. Sure, making a recyclable option might be a good public relations move, but in reality, most of these will fall victim of the same laziness as the current brand.

Let us also be reminded how many Starbucks cups we thoughtlessly toss into the trash on a daily basis. We are wasteful and we are careless.

In the eyes of the Editorial Board, though, it is not the material these cups are made of that is problematic, but the fact they exist in the first place.

No one denies their convenience, and even the most ardent environmental activist is likely guilty of indulging in the simplicity of a singleserve brew. But is it really worth it? Is it really that hard to use a coffee filter?

Should making coffee more convenient really be the focus of some of our brightest scientists and engineers?

The obvious answer would be no, but we don’t always do obvious here in America. It is the dark truth of American consumerism and will require bold action to resolve.

Too often we use our ingenuity and research dollars to make life marginally easier for those who can afford it or develop unnecessary medications to treat questionable ailments.

The absurdity of it all reaches its peak when put against the backdrop of the climate change debate.

While our lawmakers argue over well-established science and scholars search for ways to solve the problems our generation will face, we continue to dump money into materialistic advances and flock to the stores.

We can’t solve these issues overnight. But it is time that we put sustainability over sheer convenience and comfort.

Addressing the vast problems we face will take a concentrated effort and a refocusing of our resources and talents.

If we put the same energy into developing alternative fuels or reversing carbon emissions as we do our materialistic desires, it may just be possible.

Until then, we can at least do our world one little favor.

So, seriously people, just use a filter. Let’s kill the K-cup.

EDDIE’S INDIANA

Vaccine debate should be no longer There are a lot of reasons to dislike New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.

He’s brash. He’s ruthless.

He’s the definition of a nasty politician. But even for Gov. Chris “Bridgegate” Christie, pandering to “truthers” of modern medicine is pretty reckless, if only because of its possible consequences.

While on a photo op at a vaccine laboratory, Christie argued for “some measure of choice” on whether vaccinations against measles and other diseases should be mandatory.

This is at a time when 102 cases of measles have been reported in the United States, most of them stemming from an outbreak at Disneyland. And surprise — many believe the outbreak can be blamed on parents who refused to vaccinate their children.

The modern anti-vaccine movement has grappled those skeptical of, well, modern medicine.

The movement itself was

founded on misinformed and scientifically debunked opinions, best exemplified by former “The View” cohost Jenny McCarthy. McCarthy became the leading voice against the vaccination of children after her son was diagnosed with autism in 2005.

She subsequently echoed the belief of the “anti-vaxxer” movement — as it has come to be known — that vaccines for measles, mumps and rubella cause autism. This belief goes back to a 1998 study published by a British gastroenterologist named Andrew Wakefield in the Lancet.

The study suggested a connection between vaccines and the onset of autism.

The study was subsequently lambasted and widely criticized by the scientific community. In 2010, the Lancet finally retracted the study saying it is “utterly clear, without any ambiguity at all, that (Wakefield’s)

statements in the paper were utterly false.”

The British General Medical Council revoked Wakefield’s medical license on the grounds of his failure to disclose that he was working as a consultant for the lawyers of families suing vaccine manufacturers alleging the vaccines had harmed their children.

Yet despite the fact this claim has time and time again been debunked, the reckless belief persists.

And it has found a new platform.

By the looks of things, politicians like Christie and Sen. Rand Paul are looking to pander to these people, if only to get an edge with their scientifically skeptical conservative base while tacitly giving room for a debate we really shouldn’t be having.

The Centers for Disease Control, along with the vast majority of medical professionals in the field, have reiterated there is no

scientific connection between vaccines and autism.

While there are legitimate reasons for why some children should not be vaccinated — such as when under medical treatment like chemotherapy or if they’re at an age when vaccines are not effective — most parents choosing not to vaccinate their kids are doing so out of ignorance alone. The problem is that ignorance has consequences, and sometimes it can kill.

I believe parents should be able to make rational medical decisions for their children.

But they should not be allowed to put the population at risk. edsalas@indiana.edu

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

I’m a conservative Christian In my political views, I consider myself to be a conservative American.

In my religious beliefs, I consider myself to be a conservative Christian.

Sometimes, however, my two conservative bents seem to be in conflict with one another.

I was particularly conflicted when George W. Bush invaded Iraq.

Because of my conservative political bent, I was inclined to support the Republican president’s decision.

However, because of my Christian faith, I was against the war.

The evidence indicated that Iraq was perhaps the most religiously open Arab country, allowing Christian churches to meet and worship without threat of attack.

Indeed, the Deputy Prime Minister of Iraq was Tariq Aziz, a member of the Chaldean Catholic Church.

The American attack on Iraq, however, had serious consequences for the churches in that country.

America’s war on Iraq quickly evolved into Iraq’s war on Christianity in a very predictable manner.

I am very conflicted once again as I consider the Charlie Hebdo murders in Paris, the Western response and now the Muslim reactions.

Some Muslim protestors have chosen to express their frustration by attacking Christians in Muslim countries.

CNN has reported the violence to date has been most severe in Niger, where churches and Christian homes

have been destroyed.

At least 10 have been killed.

Yet, I wonder, is their frustration with the realities of Christianity or with the realities of Western secularism?

I understand that much of the world sees the West as Christian, yet it can be argued that Christianity is on the decline in the West while it is expanding in Africa and China.

It is a stereotype to think the West portrays the essence of Christianity.

In fact, the West provides for a rather free expression of faith. Granted, Christianity has been the dominant faith in the West, but I am not willing, as a Christian, to take the blame for Charlie Hebdo’s depiction of Muhammad.

Charlie Hebdo is a reflection of the secular West, not particularly a reflection of Christianity.

I am not Charlie Hebdo.

Salman Rushdie wrote in his novel “Midnight’s Children” that “it’s a dangerous business to try and impose one’s view of things on others.”

I value the freedom to practice my Christian faith. I also value the freedom of others to practice their various faith traditions.

I value the freedom of others to practice no faith tradition.

I personally disagree with other religious traditions, but I do not make fun of them or ridicule them.

I do not seek to impose my view of things on others.

Christianity and Islam have not always been civil to one another; we all know the history of the Crusades.

Nevertheless, I contend that the current disagreement is not a disagreement between Christianity and Islam.

Charlie Hebdo was not reflecting the dominant Christian view of freedom and respect.

Charlie Hebdo, rather, was reflecting the secular view against Islam (and, to some extent, against Christianity).

Because the West is often seen as the bastion of Christianity, the Church is now under attack in Muslim countries. This disappoints and saddens me at many levels.

Most relevant to this editorial, Charlie Hebdo does not reflect my Christian views; I am disappointed that Muslims are attacking Christians and their churches.

We are not Charlie Hebdo.

Western and Muslim countries have not always been civil to one another.

I am not always in agreement with the decisions my politicians have made.

Nevertheless, I freely admit the issues are complex and difficult.

Physical and verbal assaults do not facilitate a path forward.

We need a civil exchange of ideas.

This civil exchange is a conversation worth having.

Immigration reform through executive order President Obama has decided to wait until after the elections to create immigration reform through an executive order.

According to Newsmax, “Many Democrats fear that if Obama issues an executive order granting temporary legal status to some or all of the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in the United States, he will give Republicans a powerful weapon to keep control of the House and take control of the Senate in the midterms.”

If Obama issues an executive order after the elections, how many illegal aliens will he make legal?

Obama won’t say where the recent invading aliens are held.

National Review online reported, “Federal officials have instructed caseworkers, who identify and verify the sponsors of the illegal immigrant children, not to speak to the media under any circumstance.

A caseworker spoke to KSAT in San Antonio anonymously and said

caseworkers are told speaking to the media is a federal offense.” Why are Democrats against voter ID laws?

Judicial Watch wrote, “A September 2013 poll by the Bipartisan Policy Center/USA Today found that 82 percent of those polled support voter ID, including 72 percent of black voters, 83 percent of Hispanic voters, and 70 percent of Democrats.” Please vote.

Attacking Article V as ‘snake oil’ The National Association for Gun Rights has recently undertaken a campaign to smear hundreds of thousands of great patriots around the nation that are responding to the call of the founders to use the single most powerful tool given to us to save our nation.

This group contemptibly refers to the lawful, orderly, and Constitutional process in Article V as “snake oil.”

They invoke the names of men like James Madison and Benjamin Franklin, and refer to the date of the

Philadelphia Convention as being 1789 (What ?).

The use of Madison’s name to somehow imply that men like James Madison would oppose this effort is nothing short of preposterous, if not disingenuous.

It was James Madison himself in August of 1830 who wrote, “Should the provisions of the Constitution as here reviewed be found not to secure the Government and rights of the States against usurpations and abuses on the part of the United States the final resort

within the purview of the Constitution lies in an amendment of the Constitution according to a process applicable by the States.”

Those that wrote and signed the Constitution voted unanimously to give the states equal power in the process along with Congress.

They saw this as a ‘life or death’ issue for the republic. www.conventionofstates.com For Liberty, Tom Dowdy tdowdy.txcos@live.com

With the gruesome beheading of Japanese reporter Kenji Goto a few short days ago, my mind has been focused on the issue of ransoms, kidnappings and terrorism. According to National Public Radio, Japan had reportedly been conducting indirect negotiations with kidnappers through ISIS militants in Syria.

“We don’t negotiate with terrorists” is a phrase we hear often in the United States.

It represents the stance our government takes when faced with kidnappings and other threats of that nature.

With the somewhat recent rise of Islamic terrorism, this policy and practice has been thrust into the spotlight and its merits have been called into question.

The rationale behind the policy is simple. If we reward a certain type of behavior, we without a doubt increase the chances of that behavior continuing into the future. If our government pays ransom to kidnappers, then those kidnappers will undoubtedly do it again.

And so, we choose not to engage. We choose to sacrifice today for the greater good later on. That sounds nice on paper, but is there more to it?

Those who would prefer we negotiate — and there is a growing number who do — certainly think so. They often concede that though it might encourage unwanted behavior in the future, it may save a life right now — and that has infinite value.

The waters are even murkier when you bring private action into the mix. If the government cannot negotiate with terrorists, what about individual people or groups?

If individuals raise the money themselves, would it be legal for them to take their own steps?

One can easily imagine

Cameron Gerst is a junior in finance.

how the phenomenon of crowdfunding could be deployed to achieve these aims.

But where would that leave us? Raising money on social network platforms to hand over to murderers and thugs certainly doesn’t sound like a good idea. But then again, desperate times call for desperate measures — and we are certainly facing desperate times.

At the end of an NPR broadcast I heard the other day, a caller gave an interesting take on this very issue. He wondered about the endgame. In his mind, if we are confident we are going to defeat terrorism eventually, then it shouldn’t matter if we give in to them now. If the end result will be the same regardless, why not try and save as many lives as we can?

I think he raises an interesting and appropriate point.

If we are going to fight this war, this battle, physically and ideologically for the foreseeable future and beyond, then I think it reasonable that we allow our ransom and kidnapping policies to evolve. If this is truly the dawn of a new era and the dawn of a new type of warfare, then we need to reconsider the rules of the game.

On the other hand, if we are confident we are going to win, and win as quickly as possible, then I say we give no quarter. I would personally prefer to wage every kind of battle against such heinous groups — including the courage not to bow for anyone or anything.

Harsh? Yes. Necessary?

Absolutely. cgerst@indiana.edu

JUMPING JACKSON

How to react to ISIS President Obama stated Sunday that the United States is working tirelessly to free an unnamed American woman who is being held as a captive of ISIS. According to the president, this woman is the last remaining American being held by the Islamic State.

The news of America’s doubled efforts to save this woman comes after the tragic story of Peter Kassig, an Indiana resident who was beheaded by ISIS in November 2014 while doing humanitarian work through Special Emergency Response and Assistance.

Despite this woman’s position in one of the biggest religious wars in recent history, her family, as well as U.S. officials, have decided to keep her identity a secret.

And I couldn’t agree with that decision more.

While I absolutely want this woman to come home safely, and despite the fact that I know naming someone humanizes them and makes them more real, I hate the idea of putting a name and a face to this woman’s tragic story.

This is not because I don’t want to imagine anyone going through such a horrific event. No, I just don’t want the terrorists to win.

Ever since 9/11, America has been terrified of letting the terrorists win. If we call french fries by their real name rather than Freedom Fries, the terrorists win. If we don’t support our troops, the terrorists win. If we go to the bathroom without washing our hands, the terrorists win.

Kevin Jackson is a senior in English literature.

But do you know how terrorists actually win? By terrorizing people.

Knowing the American media like I do, the minute this woman is named, news outlets will spend the next week with her image plastered on every single television screen in America. There will be reporters camping outside her family’s home and news anchors will spend every waking moment discussing the possibility of her death.

And that is exactly what ISIS wants. They want Americans to constantly be thinking about the woman in their custody and how any minute could be her last. They want us to relate with her, to connect with her, so that we might see ourselves in her situation.

They want us to be afraid.

I’m not saying we shouldn’t empathize with this woman or that we shouldn’t be trying everything we can to try to get her back. To the contrary, I actually think doing both of these things would destroy ISIS’s plans. That being said, we need to keep our heads above this ocean of fear ISIS wants us to drown in.

Fear solves nothing. Fear caused mosques to be defaced and Muslims to be assaulted in the aftermath of 9/11. Fear makes us weak, not only as a world power, but also as a community. kevsjack@umail.iu.edu

A CAGED BIRD SINGHS

A question of empowerment, not what makes you beautiful Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past year, you’ve probably heard Meghan Trainor’s song “All About That Bass.”

Like me, you might even enjoy jamming to the uppity beat while walking around campus — because hey, I, too, can “shake it, shake it.”

The song has been touted as an anthem for promoting positive body empowerment.

But with lyrics like, “I’ve got that boom boom that all the boys chase,” and “Boys

like a little more booty to hold at night,” I can’t help but wonder if the song is truly empowering.

Chloe Angyal, a writer for Feministing, so swimmingly broke down Trainor’s lyrics when she said “no need to worry about failing to meet the standard of beauty imposed by the fashion industry, she meets the one imposed by men.”

Listen, don’t get me wrong — I like the uppity feel of the song. But validating the idea that women

should somehow be linking their self-esteem to what men want isn’t really my idea of empowerment. A recent study published by Social Psychological and Personality Science brought scientific truth to this bitter reality.

The report found women who participated in the study reported higher satisfaction with their body image when they were told men were attracted to average-sized models. This is pretty problematic because self-esteem

shouldn’t be derived from other people thinking you are hot.

That’s why it’s called self-esteem, not “esteem based off of what people think about my booty.”

And don’t think I’m just attacking Meghan Trainor, because there are other pop culture icons that are just as guilty of confusing what it truly means to be self-empowered.

Let’s take a look at some bro offenders — for example, One Direction’s song

“What Makes You Beautiful.”

The lyrics are clear: Liam and his One Direction crew don’t want you to “feel insecure” because they think you are beautiful just the way you are.

This song is essentially judging a woman for having insecurities and for being blithely unaware of her true physical beauty.

And while it does feel good to be attractive in the eyes of society, until we toss away the notion that self-esteem somehow comes from what others

think about your body image, we aren’t truly empowered.

So don’t get me wrong, J. Cole.

I’d love to work out with you, just not for you.

And Kanye, I love you, but if I’m going to follow “The New Workout Plan,” it’ll be for myself and not so I can “pull a rapper” or an NBA player. kajsingh@umail.iu.edu

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Ivy Tech, with approximately 200,000 students, is one of the largest community colleges in the United States.

The visit to Indiana comes after visits to Republicandominated states Idaho and Kansas, where Obama talked about his middle class economics. It also comes after his proposal for free community college tuition for two years for eligible students. This is one part of the president’s proposed $4 trillion budget for fiscal year 2016 he delivered to Congress on Monday.

According to Obama’s proposed budget, free two-year tuition would cost $60 billion throughout 10 years.

If this is accepted by all 50 states, approximately 9 million people will benefit from the proposal, according to the White House.

President Obama’s most recent visit to Indianapolis was a May 2011 trip to the Allison Transmission Plant to discuss energy policy.

His last trip to Indiana was Oct. 3, 2014, to Millennium Steel in Princeton, Ind., to lay out other economic policies, including investment in early education and equal pay for men and women.

“All I ever wanted to do was be a Carter girl and that’s the way it turned out to be,” she said.

When Mellencamp finally took the stage, the crowd rose to its feet and screamed.

Unlike the crowd’s response, there was nothing grandiose about the musician’s show. He lived up to the title of his most recent album throughout the concert.

He didn’t speak to the crowd until he and his band had played through the entirety of four songs, and when

he did talk, the first words he said were in the form of an unnecessary introduction.

“I’m John Mellencamp,” he said. “If you wanna dance along, then feel free to dance along.”

Coming from the small town of Seymour, Ind., and frequently calling Bloomington his hometown, the rock legend has humble roots.

Audience members could remember going to the bars around town in the late 1960s and watching a young Johnny Cougar at the beginning of his career.

One local woman, Victoria Rogers, said she had been at the Bluebird for at least one of those small shows.

“I was just writing on Facebook, saying that I

remember when he was first starting out as Johnny Cougar, and you could just go to the bar and hear him sing,” she said.

Rogers said she was mostly looking forward to hearing the old songs, but she was going to stay open about listening to his new material.

Many in the audience who hadn’t gotten the chance to see Mellencamp in his early days were no less devoted to the musician, however.

Steve Klein came from Sellersville, Ind., and said this was his second time seeing Mellencamp on his current tour, the first time being Jan. 23 in Louisville, Ky. “He’s one of the top five of all time,” Klein said.

Finally, the declaration states the role of faculty in hiring decisions, promotions, curricular matters, budgeting and institutional planning should not be compromised by the role of donors, trustees or administrators.

Gerhard Glomm, professor in the College of Arts and Sciences, expressed his concern that the declaration is largely based on philosophy and principle and that the public good is not easily defined.

“Social science research has documented that, unless you’re willing to accept restrictions on people’s preferences, it is impossible

to define the public good,” he said.

Jon Simons, also a professor in the College of Arts and Sciences, disagreed, stating if the public good can be defined anywhere, it can be defined at a university.

“I’d agree that this is largely a document about philosophy and about principle,” he said. “But a university is a place where notions of the public good and the common good can be worked out. There are not many spaces left in the current world where those discussions can happen or do happen.”

Maurer School of Law Professor Steve Sanders disagreed, stating the 10 points in the resolution should foster, not limit, further discussion.

“I see it as a starting point for discussion, not an ending point for discussion,” he said.

Though the BFC has not yet voted to approve the resolution addressing the AAUP Centennial Declaration, should the council vote to approve the resolution, it would endorse the declaration and to allow the BFC president to sign the declaration on the council’s behalf.

Unfamiliar role ‘Good Kids’, a play about sexual-assualt, opens at IU Theatre on Friday

By Lanie Maresh emaresh@indiana.edu

Mandy Wenz sat in the Wright Quadrangle food court listening to classical music while she ate.

Wenz, an Ashton Resident Assistant, is an actor in the upcoming play “Good Kids” at the IU Theatre.

She said her character, Amber, is a victim blamer, and that conflicts with her training as an RA. “We know about the negative repercussions of people who’ve victim blamed and what that does to the victim,” Wenz said. “So I would never in a real life situation tell a girl or a boy who just got raped that it was their fault or that they were asking for it, but Amber does all of these things.”

When they started rehearsals for the show, Wenz said she had a hard time portraying a character that was so different from her personal beliefs.

“It’s hard because you want to resist it at first, but then you learn you have to accept it because as an actor it’s your job to put the story on the stage,” Wenz said. “This stuff does happen in real life, so I feel like I have a duty to portray that on stage in its purest form to show how that hurts other people.”

Wenz along with her fellow actors will perform in “Good Kids” at 7:30 p.m. Friday at the Wells-Metz Theatre.

The play follows the interaction of high school students after a sexual assault takes place at a party one night. The play is inspired by true events in the small town of Steubenville, Ohio.

In addition to the students talking about the situation throughout the show, Director and IU Theatre Department Chair Jonathan Michaelsen said the play covers many other teen-related topics as well.

“The sense of what sexual assault is and means and what consent means I think is an important issue as well,” Michaelsen said. “Following on the pattern after the case is the sense of social media and how quickly an event can be judged by millions of people not in a court of law but in the blogosphere, or cyberspace.”

Before the show and following the

GOOD KIDS Tickets $12 Feb. 6-14 other performances, IU Theatre will present a panel of professionals to talk about different topics concerning sexual assault. Sarah Campbell, a graduate student working with the IU Theatre, helped to set up the different panels.

“We saw the need for something because the show deals with really heavy things, and we didn’t just want the audience to go out in the streets after the show with no way to talk about what they had just seen,” Campbell said. “We thought it would be great to have experts come in and talk with the audience members in hope that they would be able to ask questions and the experts would be able to give good information about resources available on campus.”

As a graduate student, Campbell said it was hard for her to get information about sexual assault prevention when she came to IU because she did not receive the guidance that freshmen are given during orientation.

“If the University does talk about resources, it’s more geared towards how to help your undergraduates, which is great, but there are definitely audiences at the University that aren’t receiving the information either because they don’t know where to find it or they’re just not paying attention,” Campbell said. “So I think it’s important to have that information out there.”

Michaelsen said the panels are a huge element of the message the show is trying to make in spreading awareness of the issue and how to deal with it on a college campus.

“It’s difficult I think for a university because we aren’t a court and yet we try and regulate these things and have hearing and take it seriously,” Michaelsen said. “I think we’re in the process of figuring that out, respecting the victim and if you should report this to law enforcement.”

Campbell said the individuals

speaking on the panels were all very enthusiastic to participate in the collaborating with IU Theatre.

“I think they’re all great advocates, and they’re really excited to share what they do and just spread the word about either the problems with sexual violence that we have on campus but also how they can help through their offices,” Campbell said. “They’re really here to help, and any opportunity they get to do that, they’re obviously really excited.”

Although the topic of sexual

assault is very serious, Wenz said she encourages people to come to the show because the premise is more uplifting than people might think.

“I think that’s the danger with this is if people hear about what this play is based on and the theme of the play, they’re not going to want to come to it because it is a heavy subject matter and because they feel like they’re going to get a talking to basically,” Wenz said. “It’s more experiencing this rape situation that happened in Steubenville alongside the community.”

AN EMMA DILEMMA

Academy plans kinetic art event

By Sanya Ali siali@indiana.edu | @siali13

EMMA WENNINGER | IDS

Architecture and gardens typical of Alhambra to showcase the continual cultural exchange between Moroccan and Arabic immigrants and Catholic Spaniards.

Traveling without a clue in Andalucia For the most part during this trip, I’ve known what to expect. I know that in Madrid there are certain museums and places to go. In Toledo, Spain, I knew about the Catedral and Islam’s influence on the city.

This past weekend was a long one before the start of classes. With no programplanned excursions, a group decided to travel to Granada, the southern Spanish city where Isabel and Ferdinand are buried.

The city is also home to Alhambra.

I went without knowing much about Granada, only about Alhambra and the fact that the city is the capital of the region named Andalucia. Alhambra is a massive Arabic palace, mosque,

cathedral and garden all built on top of a very large hill sometime around 1200, according to the Alhambra website.

Because of the back-andforth warring, conquest-ing and culture clash between Moroccan and Arabic immigrants in Granada and Andalucia and Catholic Spaniards farther north, Granada and Alhambra became important heritage sites in Spain.

Thus ended the extent of my knowledge about Granada.

Luckily a friend on our trip had done some research and was able to walk us through key areas of Granada and explain the effects of the religious and cultural exchange, which

still continues to take place.

But I would recommend going someplace where you really don’t know anything and discovering it as a completely new thing.

Alhambra is stunning — carved, big and humbling, and I appreciated it all the more because I had no idea what I was walking into. We quite literally stumbled into a sultan’s palace.

A friend’s first comment upon walking in was, “This is gorgeous. It would be better if I knew what I was standing in.”

It made discovering each new courtyard and room like an adventure. I could almost feel what Isabel must have felt hundreds of years ago, walking into her conquest and discovering she

had accidentally won a national treasure.

Moreover, it felt like a truly honest way to travel and appreciate a different country’s heritage and history because I entered into it without any pretext, expectations or prejudice.

The next time you are thinking of traveling, I recommend picking a place and just going. Be a tourist and walk away feeling like you discovered something.

Most likely you will. ewenning@indiana.edu

Stop and Start decorates the ordinary

By Cassie Heeke cnheeke@indiana.edu | @cnheeke

Approaching the intersection of First and High streets, drivers may come across an image of a cow peeking out at them as she floats through space, a crescent moon looking fondly down at her.

A stick figure girl watches with big blue eyes and flaxen hair strewn out in every direction.

Paintings such as these cover almost 20 street corners in Bloomington as a result of a program named Stop and Start, which turns a most ordinary object — a traffic signal box — into a canvas for art.

“They’re not signs, they’re not advertising, they are primarily artistic expression,” said Miah Michaelson, assistant economic development director for the arts for the City of Bloomington.

Michaelson said the program is perfect for those wanting to do a mural-like project without the extensive amount of labor a typical mural would require.

“Some artists are really good at (painting murals) and they thrive on it, but there are other artists who would like to do something as publicly accessible but don’t necessarily have the

skill set to do a big mural, or they just don’t want to do a big mural,” Michaelson said.

Michaelson said accessibility is a huge benefit, and several boxes have been painted by artists with disabilities as well as by elementary school students.

Drew Etienne is a local artist that has painted two traffic signal boxes.

“It was a lot of hard work, but I was pretty happy with the result and got some good feedback on it,” Etienne said.

A variety of individuals and organizations have painted boxes, so their contents range quite a bit.

Michaelson said this is the fun part of the project and shows a “sense of discovery.”

“It allows for a variety of viewpoints and a variety of artistic styles, and I think it really reflects the community really well,” she said.

So far, images range from roller derby girls to fruits and vegetables, Michaelson said. Some are simply abstract imaginings of the artists.

Design ideas are sent to Michaelson to be approved before the artist begins painting. Artists are allowed to put their name or the name of their organization on the boxes but cannot advertise, she said.

However, the public venue of the art provides recognition to the artists and organizations.

Etienne said he got positive feedback from passersby as he worked, which he said was the most rewarding part.

“I did have some interested parties contact me after seeing the finished boxes, which I really didn’t expect, so the exposure was great too,” he said.

Michaelson got the idea for the program while visiting other cities that already had something like it in place, she said.

“If you Google traffic signal boxes, you’ll see them all over,” she said. “It’s a great, accessible, sort of low costhigh value type of public art project that a lot of communities are interested in.”

Michaelson said she was worried about how well the boxes would sustain the Bloomington cold until she received images of painted traffic signal boxes in Alaska.

She said there have been instances where artists had to touch up chipped paintings, but no major damage has been caused by nature.

“They’re fairly hardy, and if it’s done with a good quality of paint then it’ll hold up for a while,” she said.

Artists are required to use

metal-appropriate paint and apply a clear sealant after completing the project, materials they are reimbursed for up to $100, Michaelson said.

About one year after completing his first box, Etienne decided to do another — a brightly colored “abstract overhead view of the land in Indiana.”

“I wanted to do something that I hoped would resonate with people here for a long time to come,” he said.

The works of art remain until they are destroyed or no longer in good condition, which could mean an artist’s work will stay in place for several years.

“I think it’s an excellent program,” Etienne said.

“We’re seeing more and more people put a lot of time and effort into things like this that have helped Bloomington not just be a city you live in, but a community that you’re proud to be a part of.”

Finished works can be viewed at bloomington. in.gov by clicking Arts & Culture, then Public Art and Exhibits, then Permanent Collection, then Pocket Art. Interested parties may email Miah Michaelson with their design ideas at michaelm@bloomington.in.gov.

On the surface, Bloomington may not appear to be a hub for the kinetic arts.

One may not realize the network of hula hoopers, jugglers and other flow artists who fill the town and work to perfect their art forms.

The Kinetic Arts Academy is working to change that this week.

The first annual FlowMotion Chiller, a festival celebrating the kinetic arts both in Bloomington and nationwide, will begin 6 p.m. Thursday.

The main goal of FlowMotion is to spread awareness of the art forms that fall under the umbrella of flow arts, said Paula Chambers, one of the co-founders of the Kinetic Arts Academy.

“Our mission is to educate the greater community on the flow and movement arts,” Chambers said.

Scott Myers, another co-founder, elaborated upon those goals.

“Building the awareness of these arts in Bloomington is the immediate goal of the FlowMotion Chiller,” Myers said. “We wanted to host an event in town that invited the best flow artists in the area to spread the fun and challenge of motion and play to our own city.“ From Thursday until Sunday, attendees can take their pick of workshops from various kinetic art instructors.

The workshop instructors are from around the Midwest and even as far as Texas.

Along with the workshops, guests can enjoy art exhibits as part of the First Friday gallery walk.

The event will as have two documentary screenings on the Flow Arts as well as a variety show showcase on Saturday.

Myers said he looks forward to the variety show showcase.

“It is an opportunity for the instructors who are teaching all weekend to perform for the Bloomington public and show just how exciting the flow arts are,” Myers said. “The lineup includes some of the most respected artists and teachers in the flow arts, and it’s a treat to have them all converging upon Bloomington in a single weekend.”

Chambers said people should take advantage of the opportunity to learn from and watch some of the most skilled flow arts instructors from around the country.

“Bloomington should be prepared for really top-notch people coming,” Chambers said. “Our theme is ‘Come play with us,’ and we think it’s going to be a really amazing experience.”

The theme ‘Come play with us’ is one that Chambers said she takes very seriously.

“Play is defined as an activity where the

Chambers said that since she began hooping, the flow community has become an important part of her life.

“I’ve been doing the flow arts in Bloomington since 2009,” Chambers said. “I’ve always done theater and dance and hula hooping, and I’ve meet an amazing community of people.”

Stephanie Poppe, the other co-founder of the Kinetic Arts Academy, said her first flow experience during her stressful graduate school days inspired her to spread her wings and start practicing in flow art.

“I was working too much and my friends were like, ‘There’s this festival happening, and you’re so close, you need to go,’” Poppe said. “I didn’t know about this whole culture at all and we went and I was just hooked from then on.

Everyone was so willing to share their knowledge.

Someone gave me my first hula hoop there.”

Poppe said the kinetic arts brought out a part of her she never knew about and that she is grateful for its role in her life.

“To me, it means family, it means acceptance, it means expression through movement and freedom,” Poppe said. “I was in a really deep rut and this art form lifted me out of it.

That’s a common story for a lot of people.”

With such passionate people by her side, Chambers said she feels confident they have planned a great event.

“We really are a team and we really work together to bring all our skills into play,” Chambers said.

“That’s the whole idea, it’s a community venture.

It involves everyone, no one person is at the head or in charge. Scott, Poppe and I try to guide the flow but we are a very open to new people coming in and helping.”

Scott Myers said everyone is welcome to take part and learn more about these up-and-coming art forms.

“The FlowMotion Chiller workshops are a unique opportunity to exercise both your mind and your body while learning with some of the best instructors and performers in the Midwest as well as the country,” Myers said. “We are committed to providing a comfortable, safe, and friendly environment to students of all levels of skill including those trying flow arts out for the first time.”

92-78

Hoosiers should move on from loss

IU still in control of destiny

By Sam Beishuizen sbeishui@indiana.edu @Sam_Beishuizen

IU lost to No. 5 Wisconsin 92-78 on the road Tuesday night.

Wisconsin’s Frank Kaminsky was too strong. The Hoosiers’ offense stalled at the wrong times, and the game became lopsided in the opening minutes of the second half. The 14-point deficit, at first glance, projects a game closer than it actually was.

Considering IU was a 15.5-point underdog on oddsshark.com, a result like Tuesday’s wasn’t exactly unexpected.

But what has been unexpected is IU’s body of work as a whole just past halfway through the Big Ten season.

With only eight regularseason games remaining, the Hoosiers (16-7, 6-4) have surpassed preseason expectations and still appear to be fighting for one of the conference’s top-four tournament seeds at 6-4 in the Big Ten despite an ugly loss in Madison, Wisc.

Not many analysts

expected that type of conference start for IU Coach Tom Crean’s Hoosiers. Statistics guru Ken Pomeroy had the Hoosiers starting 3-7, which means IU managed to steal three unexpected wins.

Forgetting a 14-point loss to the Badgers for a moment, IU still appears in control of its NCAA Tournament fate after missing out last season.

Latest projections by ESPN’s Joe Lunardi and CBS Sports’ Jerry Palm both pin IU an NCAA Tournament 6-seed. USA Today’s Shelby Mast has IU as a 7-seed, as does BracketMatrix, which compiles the results of 81 projections.

At No. 31 in the RPI, IU has a handful of strong nonconference wins that could ultimately help should it ever fall on the bubble. The Hoosiers have wins against RPI No. 17 Butler, No. 21 Southern Methodist and No. 62 Pittsburgh which will help in the eyes of computer projections.

The biggest blemish so far was last week’s loss to No. 78 Purdue. Then there’s that early nonconference loss to No. 73 Eastern Washington

at home.

One concerning trend for IU has been repeated struggles playing away from Assembly Hall, which the loss to Wisconsin highlighted.

The Hoosiers are 1-4 on the road in the Big Ten and will travel to Maryland next Wednesday. Lose that game and slip at home against Michigan on Sunday, and all of a sudden IU is .500 in the Big Ten and backpedaling.

Things could get interesting from there, but that would require IU to start losing at home. That’s been a rare occurrence this year, as IU has dropped only one game in Bloomington this season.

With that in mind, it may be worth noting that five of the Hoosiers’ last eight and four of their last six games will be played at Assembly Hall.

Four of their final eight games are against teams currently in the bottom half of the Big Ten, including games against Rutgers, Northwestern and Minnesota, who occupy three of the last four places in the standings.

After Tuesday’s blowout, Wisconsin has made it clear

TOP IU PERFORMERS Points Zeisloft, 17 Rebounds Williams, 7 Assists Ferrell, 4

it’s a contender for an NCAA championship and still controls its championship destiny in the Big Ten. IU proved it still has work to do.

But all things considered — barring a collapse or an extension of the Wisconsin game — things look fairly good for the Hoosiers as of Wednesday.

They still sit comfortably in the upper half of the Big Ten standings and were ranked just a week ago.

There’s still a full month of basketball left to be played, and any streak, good or bad, could flip the script. If the Wisconsin loss becomes a trend, then IU could be in trouble.

But right now, IU has managed to put itself in a position where it could absorb a blowout in Wisconsin.

Now it’s just a matter of holding on.

Realistically, nobody expected IU to go into the Kohl Center and beat one of the best teams in the country.

That’s too much to ask of this young, broken team.

However, young and broken aren’t excuses for getting embarrassed 92-78 on national television. That score doesn’t look too bad, but this game was a poor showing for the Hoosiers.

I wrote before tipoff that IU would have to play a perfect game if it hoped to knock off No. 5 Wisconsin, and that is just too much to ask.

The Hoosiers started out looking about as good as anyone could hope and were down just four points with two minutes left in the first half.

However, don’t start thinking IU did anything to contain Wisconsin. The Badgers dominated and pounded the ball inside, just like everyone knew they would.

Wisconsin’s frontcourt owned the paint and consistently made IU look foolish.

The only reason IU was even close in the first half was some incredible shooting.

The Hoosiers shot spectacularly from deep, and that trend continued for the whole game. IU finished 13of-24 (54 percent) from behind the arc. They climbed back to within a respectable score of the Badgers, but this game was over four minutes into the second half.

IU’s poor defensive effort throughout the game turned into straight sloppiness after the intermission, and it looked almost as if everyone had given up. There were unforced turnovers, bad box outs and an overall weak effort on defense.

Of course, the injury excuse will get thrown around.

The Hoosiers were obviously without junior forward Hanner Mosquera-Perea, who has been out for several weeks, but freshman guard James Blackmon Jr. also sat Tuesday.

At one point against Rutgers on Saturday, Blackmon looked hobbled at the end of the floor, but continued to play.

Regardless, Blackmon wouldn’t have changed this game much. He’s a brilliant scorer when he’s on, and, as we saw Saturday, can score 20 points without even

standing out. But Blackmon struggles on defense and certainly can’t play in the post, which is where this game was decided.

IU started conference play on a 5-1 streak and was tied for the Big Ten lead at one point. Since then, the Hoosiers have dropped three of four, two of which have been humiliating losses — Wisconsin and Purdue. The lone win was a too-close home victory against lowly Rutgers.

Something has gone wrong in Bloomington since the Hoosiers’ hot start. Maybe it’s just that teams have figured IU out. Sophomore forward Collin Hartman adds another weapon that the offense was lacking with Mosquera-Perea on the floor, but IU has been pummeled inside.

IU Coach Tom Crean has said in each loss since then the Hoosiers need to help out their post defenders by pressuring the ball and playing good transition defense.

All that said, this was a matchup nightmare for IU. Wisconsin has one of the top three big men in the country in Kaminsky, and the Badgers other forwards — junior Sam Dekker and sophomore Nigel Hayes — were sure to cause problems for IU as well.

I wrote after the Purdue game IU should remember that loss and let it simmer. The Hoosiers should be thinking of that game the next time they go out and be angry about it.

This one is different. Wisconsin is a better team than IU. They have more talent, size and play better together.

IU was never going to win this game. It took making 8-of-11 threes in the first half just to keep it close.

Sometimes you just need to move past a game and forget about it. That’s what IU should do here. Figure out what you did wrong, how you can do it better and then move forward. Focus on the Michigan game Sunday. crkrajew@indiana.edu

SOFTBALL

5 Hoosier softball players to watch during 2015 season

By Michael Hernandez micbhern@indiana.edu @AceOfSpades1213

The 2015 regular season begins Friday with a double-header against Western Michigan and Oregon State at the Kajikawa Classic in Temple, Ariz. Here are five IU softball players to watch for as the season gets underway.

5. Sophomore Catcher/ Infielder CaraMia Tsirigos Tsirigos is looking to continue where she left off during her freshman campaign. During the 2014 season, she appeared in 42 games and recorded a .364 on-base percentage while hitting six home runs and driving in 16 runs.

But where Tsirigos shines is in the field. She recorded 221 putouts and committed only three errors, making her one of the best defensive players not only on this IU team, but in the nation.

With IU having to fill the loss of infielder Breanna Saucedo, Tsirigos is projected to appear in more games this season and have the opportunity to increase her numbers from last season.

IDS FILE PHOTO

Sophomore Shannon Cawley hits against University of Illinois Chicago on March 16, 2013 at Andy Mohr Field. The Hoosiers won in five innings 8-0.

4. Junior Catcher Kassi Farmer Farmer put up impressive numbers at the plate last season, as she appeared in every game. Farmer hit just

under .300 and knocked in 23 RBIs with a team-high seven home runs.

Her clutch hitting earned her a .494 slugging percentage, also a team high. With incoming players who have a history of getting on base, Farmer is likely to have more opportunities to increase her 2014 numbers.

3. Senior Outfielder Shannon Cawley After being sidelined for the 2014 season, Cawley is returning to the field. In her first two seasons, Cawley hit .301, combining for 93 hits, 44 runs and 47 RBIs, including a team best 26 RBIs in 2013.

With Cawley fully healthy, she offers a plate presence this IU team has been lacking. Without Cawley in the lineup, the Hoosiers average just 2.89 runs per game. With her, the Hoosiers average 3.38 runs per game.

Look for Cawley to continue to create opportunities for hitters both behind and in front of her in the lineup.

2. Freshman Outfielder Rebecca Blitz Blitz is one of eight new players that make up the 2015 freshman class for this young IU softball team. Blitz played four years of softball at Mountain Brook High in Birmingham, Ala., where she

put up big numbers.

In 2013, Blitz led her high school team with a .541 batting average, .566 on-base percentage and 40 stolen bases on her way to being named first team allstate. Blitz improved upon those numbers in her senior season.

She batted .583, had a .659 on-base percentage and stole 34 bases, earning her the title of Birmingham News Metro Player of the Year.

Her ability to get on base — and to create chaos when she does — has already brought her coaches, teammates and fans excitement for her career.

1. Senior Pitcher Lora Olson Olson is gearing up to begin her last season in an IU uniform. Olson has won 28 games, gone the distance in 26 complete games, racked up 249 strikeouts and recorded a 4.15 ERA in three seasons at IU. She has been the go-to starter for the past three years and is the captain of the team. Her last season has the potential to be the best of her career.

The right-handed player said she doesn’t want to think about this being her last season of softball, but she does want to go out there and enjoy every last second of what’s left.

MEN’S TENNIS

New coach uses prior experience to lead team ing that with their teams, he was trying to figure out how Michigan’s team might look for this year.

This could make for a difficult transition, players not totally buying into a new coach and a lost season. Wurtzman said he was determined not to let that happen.

“I think probably the next day (after I was hired) I got all the phone numbers and called each player personally and tried to get to know them,” he said.

A week later Wurtzman was in Bloomington to take the team out to dinner, trying to form synergy and trust with the team. He said it worked.

Wurtzman is perhaps the perfect coach for a player looking to improve. As a senior at Ohio State, he won the Intercollegiate Tennis Association National Indoor Championships, the ITA Midwest Championships, was the No. 1 ranked player in the country and was eventually named co-national senior player of the year in 2004.

Wurtzman was also a three-time All-Big Ten member and an All-American during his senior season. He finished his collegiate career with a 132-45 record in singles and an 86-49 record in doubles.

During his three-year professional career, Wurtzman was ranked in the top 30 of American singles players, beating John Isner, currently ranked No. 18 in the world, in straight sets in 2005 in their only match.

By Michael Hughes michhugh@indiana.edu @MichaelHughes94

Jeremy Wurtzman is no stranger to Big Ten tennis.

Wurtzman played at Ohio State from 2002 to 2004, was an assistant coach at Ohio State from 2008 to 2009 and was an assistant head coach at Michigan from 2013 to 2014.

That’s why Wurtzman said it was an easy transition to become the new IU coach.

“It definitely makes it easier because there’s not much you have to learn about the different teams, schools and coaches,” Wurtzman said.

Wurtzman accepted IU’s offer to become a new coach Dec. 10, 2014, 19 days after Randy Bloemendaal was fired for violating department policies in addition to secondary NCAA rules violations.

That meant Wurtzman was coming into a program that had already completed its fall season, one month away from starting its dual season.

“I’m still going through the transition,” Wurtzman said.

“Getting moved, saying goodbye to the team (at Michigan) midseason, moving the family and all the things that come about had to really be in quick mode because the season was going to be starting.”

Coaches often use the fall season to judge player development, begin to formulate a lineup and try to pair up doubles partners.

Wurtzman didn’t have any of these opportunities. While most coaches were busy do-

IU Coach Jeremy Wurtzman hits balls at practice. Wurtzman was previously an assistant coach at Michigan.

In the end, though, Wurtzman said he knew he wanted to return to college tennis.

“I always had a great experience as a college player, and I loved the college environment and being part of a team in an individual sport,” Wurtzman said. “It was always something I wanted to do.”

Wurtzman had a role model for collegiate coaching success. His coach

“I’ve been lucky enough and fortunate enough to have been around one of the best in the country and get to see what he did day in and day out,” Wurtzman said.

Wurtzman said he hopes to instill the knowledge he gained through his playing experiences, both collegiate and professional.

During a match he said he can understand what his players might be feeling, what the opponent might be trying to do and how best to approach the situation.

“I try to use my playing experience to talk about preparation and how hard work in practice, being disciplined to your tennis and your fitness, can contribute to having a successful collegiate career,” Wurtzman said.

Wurtzman will be imparting this knowledge upon a team that has lost one player from last season, Dimitrije Tasic, to graduation. Every other player is back.

So far this season IU is 4-1, including a 2-0 weekend at the Kick Off Classic at Dartmouth. IU registered 4-3 wins over both No. 65 Cornell and No. 47 Dartmouth.

IU started the spring season ranked No. 64 and has risen to No. 49 in the latest ITA rankings.

Wurtzman said he believes this team has the capability to achieve great things, but he tells them to think smaller in order to not lose themselves in expectations.
