Wage change 2 Indiana Senate bills aim to raise minimum wage from $7.25 to $10 By Daniel Metz dsmetz@indiana.edu | @DanielSMetz

Can you support yourself with a minimum-wage job? At Nick’s English Hut on Kirkwood Avenue, employee Hayden Frasier sat eating a sandwich and some fries. Frasier, 25, is a lifelong resident of Bloomington — where his parents still live — but now he’s renting a house in Ellettsville. He owns and pays for his car, which he uses to commute to and from work. He started at Nick’s working for $7.50 an hour, but his wage has been increased to $8.50 an hour. He still needs some help from his parents in order to get by. New proposed legislation, Senate Bills 41 and 160, has been introduced in the Indiana General Assembly this year that addresses the state’s current minimum wage laws. SB 41, which was authored by Sen. Karen Tallian, D-Portage,

Fair wages for locals, page 4 Local businesses have created a coalition to ensure fair wages for their workers. would increase the state minimum wage to $10.10, effective July 1. SB 160, which was authored by Sen. Frank Mrvan, D-Hammond, would use a longer timeline. Effective June 30, SB 160 would increase the minimum wage to $8.50 an hour and would increase it to $10.00 per hour effective June 30, 2016. “I hate to say that Indiana is not in the forefront of helping our workers,” Mrvan said. “I think it’s our duty to keep up with the rest of the country. I think it’s good for the economy, and I think it’s good for the people.” Indiana’s minimum wage has been set at $7.25 since it was raised in July 2009. The federal minimum wage is also $7.25 per hour. SEE WAGE, PAGE 6

Minimum wage in America

Indiana is one of 21 states with a minimum wage of $7.25 per hour, the wage set by the federal government.

The remaining 29 states and Washington, D.C. have set state law raising the minimum wage higher than $7.25.

Washington, D.C. has the highest minimum wage in the United States at $9.50 per hour. Georgia and Wyoming both have minimum wages of $5.15, but the federal minimum wage of $7.25 supersedes the lower state minimum wages. SOURCE DOL.GOV

When IU Coach Kevin Wilson first took the head coaching job in Bloomington, he wasn’t just recruiting players to Bloomington. He was begging them to come. IU wasn’t a destination location for recruits before the 2011 season, as shown by recruiting rankings where IU was a regular in the cellar. Wilson admits that in the beginning, he mostly took what he could and hoped players like Cody Latimer and Shane Wynn would agree to join. Things have changed More recruiting, since then for page 12 Wilson, and Read columnist he’s brought Brody Miller’s take numbers to on who the most prove it. significant signees Three years will be. ago, IU was regularly finishing around 13th in the Big Ten conference recruiting rankings by rivals.com. The Hoosiers’ average was 13.36 out of 14 Big Ten teams. In the last three years, IU has finished between fifth and eighth in the conference. That’s no guarantee the players will be better, but it’s a stronger streamline of talent Wilson said he needs to compete. This year, IU will once again finish in the middle of the conference pack on the recruiting trail, which to Wilson is a good sign. He announced Wednesday that 22 high school players graduating this spring have signed national letters of intent and will join IU in June. “We’ve had three years of recruiting some better talent,” Wilson said. “It’s longer bodies. It’s bigger bodies. It’s guys that were wanted by other schools.” Those aren’t always the types of players IU was getting in the past. Wilson’s staff has picked up the competitive recruiting, beating other teams on the recruiting trail and bolstering its depth chart. All 22 verbal commitments signed Wednesday morning, along with UAB transfers Jordan Howard and Marqui Hawkins, who Wilson pointed out won’t count in any recruiting rankings. Wilson still has one scholarship remaining but said he’s looking for the right player to fill the final spot. IU signed 10 offensive players, seven defensive players and five athletes still looking to fill positions. Wilson appeared to focus on the trenches, adding four offensive and three defensive linemen. The Hoosiers also added three wide receivers, one running back, one tight end and one quarterback on offense to go with two defensive backs and two linebackers on defense. The class is represented by players from 10 different states, including five from Florida, four from Indiana and three from Ohio. “It’s, on paper, a good class,” Wilson said. “Now that paper needs to transition into some Ws.

Atwood gives student-only lecture First Republican in 8 years files for mayor By Sarah Panﬁl

For the first time in eight years, the City of Bloomington has a Republican candidate for mayor. John Turnbull officially filed his candidacy for mayor on Wednesday. He is the fourth candidate to do so. Turnbull currently serves as the Division Director of Sports for the Bloomington City Department of Parks and Recreation. Originally from Michigan, Turnbull has worked for the City of Bloomington for the past 26 years. “I have just been drawn to the interests of the city at large and have just found myself more and more motivated and interested in those issues,” Turnbull said. “But it’s not been my role or not been my place to be involved up until this point.” In addition to Turnbull, three Democrats have thrown their hat into the ring for mayor: John Hamilton, Darryl Neher and John

Linemeier. Turnbull said it will be a challenge to run as a Republican candidate in Bloomington. “I recognize it’s an uphill battle,” Turnbull said. “I’m being very realistic, but I think it is possible.” David Sabbagh, the last Republican to run for mayor of Bloomington, received 38.5 percent of the vote in his 2007 campaign against current Bloomington Mayor Mark Kruzan. Turnbull said he plans to focus his platform on making the city government more efficient and said he relies on his experience in government to do so. “Government involvement can be used when it’s needed or when the economy is struggling or when certain areas or people are struggling,” Turnbull said. “But it can really back off when it’s not necessary and let the free market take its course.” The deadline for candidates to file is Friday at noon.

A few minutes before 10 a.m. Wednesday in Whittenberger Auditorium, Margaret Atwood walked down the aisle, took off her puffy purple coat and sat down in the front row. Sipping on coffee and checking her watch, the author looked through papers marked with highlighter tucked in a red folder. Then, Hannah Murray and Olivia DeClark, two IU juniors from the English department, stepped up to the podium to introduce Atwood. Murray and DeClark were part of a reading group that has met monthly since September to explore Atwood’s poetry, novels and other writing. Both students wrote and presented research papers on Atwood at the recent College Arts & Humanities Institute’s symposium discussing Atwood’s work. They were then selected to introduce Atwood at COURTESY PHOTO

Locals learn new traditions By Maia Cochran maicochr@indiana.edu @_maiacochran

The First Nations Educational and Cultural Center welcomed visitors Wednesday to a night of craftmaking where participants made indigenous jewelry pieces from modern supplies. Mary Connors, secretary of the FNECC, greeted most visitors with familiarity as they walked into the new FNECC house. She said she is excited for this semester because the FNECC community has grown since the center has moved from Weatherly Hall last year to a house on Eighth Street. After a potluck dinner of homemade food, Marilyn Cleveland, native elder in the FNECC, taught community members the ins and outs of traditional beading.

Rather than using fish bones for needles and beads from clay, community members were taught the art of earring-making using man-made materials. “You just always have to use what you have,” Cleveland said as she looked to the plastic, online-ordered beads and metallic needle. “And this is what we have.” At 72 years old, Cleveland has been one of the leaders of Craft Night at the FNECC for about ten years. She never gives up opportunities to teach about native traditions. “The more we know about people and the many ways different people do things, the better we all get along,” Cleveland said. Cleveland’s niece, Betsy Middleton, said beading is relaxing for her. She said she “learned how to bead from the best” when she was

taught by her aunt. One visitor, Jill Vass, said she has recently been very interested in learning how to bead and is happy to learn from “someone of (Cleveland’s) expertise in this area.” While trying to create her own beaded earring, Vass said Cleveland makes the beading “look so easy.” Cleveland told Vass she has been doing this for a long time. She told stories of how her grandmother taught her to bead and loom accessories from the time she was four years old. Brian Gilley, director of FNECC and associate professor of anthropology, said events the FNECC hosts mean more to the community than learning how to make crafts and telling stories. He said the beaded earrings are one way the native people communicate value.

“You really learn about a person and a community indirectly,” Gilley said. He said the conversation, connections made and the stories told by elders such as Cleveland are the moments where a community is built and discovered. The FNECC builds a community by bringing natives and non-natives together where they learn off of each other and work together on a deeper level. Cleveland said she likes the way other people are enlightened when she tells them she is more like them than they think. She said she has surprised a lot of younger people by telling them her “horse” is the minivan sitting outside of her house. “My people never lived in teepees, we lived in wooden houses similar to the ones now,” Cleveland said.

Professor awarded for LGBTQ book By Suzanne Grossman spgrossm@indiana.edu @suzannepaige6

IU Associate Professor in gender and American studies Marlon Bailey recently won the Alan Bray Memorial Book Award for his book “Butch Queens Up in Pumps: Gender, Performance and Ballroom Culture in Detroit.” The award is given to the best book in lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer Marlon studies in Bailey literature and culture. Bailey’s book is the first book to ever cover ball house culture, Bailey said. Ball house culture, also known as ballroom culture, is centered around an underground LGBT community comprised of mostly black and Latino people who perform in drag or other performances that express gender and sexual identity. Bailey said he first became interested in this culture when he watched the film “Paris is Burning.” “It introduced me to houses and a kinship performance system, and I was just fascinated by it,” Bailey said.

“I knew after that I wanted to write about this community. I just didn’t know how.” Ballroom culture began in Harlem, New York, and the cultures are called houses because of the way they form a second home or family, Bailey said. The communities put an emphasis on the labor of family as opposed to biological ties. “Many of the members have been ostracized and marginalized from their families and communities of origin,” Bailey said. “These communities have to do the labor and create family because their families of origin have been unable or unwilling to give them that ability.” He said members of these communities have not only been pushed out of their families but also out of broader society. “Many of these community members are not only poor and working class, but they have been disposed from their black and Latino/ Latina communities,” Bailey said. “They’ve been estranged from larger society that is both racist and homophobic because of their nonnormative gender and sexual experiences.” One thing Bailey said he hopes his book can accomplish is to help influence

how people perceive LGBT communities. “When we think about LGBT, we generally think about white LGBT people, but black LGBT are invisible,” Bailey said. “When we talk about blackness, we don’t often talk about black LGBT, but we equate blackness with straightness.” He said the book will bring more visibility to the group and what it has to offer those outside the community. “It brings visibility and exposure to the existence and ingenuity of the work of this community,” Bailey said. In his book, Bailey outlines three things ballroom communities do well that could benefit others: prevention houses, prevention parenting and HIV prevention. Prevention houses provide an alternate family and a place to obtain information on risk-reducing sexual practices and how to better accept one’s sexuality and gender. Prevention parenting gives people the chance to learn from someone of shared experiences even if they aren’t biologically related. For example, a trans woman in a preventionparenting house would have an older trans woman — a

mentor — to ask questions about issues relevant to their community such as hormone and transition. Finally, HIV prevention in ballroom culture includes balls organized to distribute HIV information through performance in a way that destigmatizes the subject, Bailey said. “People and public health officials can draw from these practices and use them beyond ballroom culture,” Bailey said. Bailey’s book was a finalist for Lambda Literary’s book award in LGBT studies out of about 750 submissions. Bailey plans to write additional books, and his next book will focus on black gay men’s sexual development and the role of sex for black gay men in the age of AIDS. He said he also hopes to write a book about pageantry and how it differs from ballroom culture. “The award really signifies for me the appreciation for what this book can do in the academy,” Bailey said. “With students, both graduate and undergraduate, reading it and professors teaching it around the country, there will be broader understanding of this community that’s not usually afforded to them.”

The Indiana Public Health Association, a statewide organization, is responsible for acknowledging and responding to public health issues and concerns throughout the state of Indiana. IU Clinical Professor and Assistant Chair of the Department of Applied Health Science, Catherine SherwoodLaughlin, was recently elected president of the executive board that oversees all public health issues the IPHA deals with on a daily basis. Sherwood-Laughlin expressed enthusiasm and excitement towards this milestone and is eager to work very closely with staff to address needed health concerns. “Public health is fun and challenging at the same time,” Sherwood-Laughlin said. “There is always an issue to respond to.” Prior to this election, Sherwood-Laughlin served a minimum of eight years on board, serving as vice president and president elect within that time frame. The executive board appointed SherwoodLaughlin for a nomination to the position and she accepted and ran unopposed. Sherwood-Laughlin’s passion and interest toward the public health field started when she was junior in college at Central Michigan University, she said. She had taken a community health class on a whim and ended up switching her major due to her newly sparked interest. After graduating within her five year plan, SherwoodLaughlin started her public health career teaching health in middle school. Once Sherwood-Laughlin gained her master’s degree at Ball State University, she started to serve as a health educator for a local county health department. “I worked with the aging population, to HIV and AIDS prevention in teenagers, to educating children about good-touch bad-touch

and everything in between,” Sherwood-Laughlin said. After receiving her master’s degree, SherwoodLaughlin arrived at IU to pursue her doctorate in the field of public health and has stayed with the University for a total of 23 years. Sherwood-Laughlin prides herself on being a public health professional that gets to teach as well. She enjoys teaching because, through her past experiences, she believes she learns as much as her students do in her own classroom. “It is never too early to start public health education,” Sherwood-Laughlin said. “We need to make sure we are informing, educating and reminding people on a daily basis, especially to those who are not willing to receive this message yet.” The main task SherwoodLaughlin hopes to achieve as president is to find a creative method to keep the low-risk individuals at low risk and have the healthy remain healthy. She hopes to find a means to maintain this positive behavior. Mood, weather and individual circumstances, among others, all have different effects towards an individual’s behavior. Sherwood-Laughlin said she feels the need to listen to the community in order to find a solution to this dilemma. In looking toward the future of public health for the state of Indiana, she hopes to expand membership and tap closely into the more rural parts of the state in an effort to engage more public health professionals. This result could lead to other initiatives including maintaining skills, improving on outdated techniques, provide networking opportunities and allowing an overall work collaboration throughout Indiana. “Public health initiatives have been around forever and still need to be,” SherwoodLaughlin said. “The future can be more predominant in complimenting mental health.”

Restaurants vow fair labor By Brian Gamache bgamache@indiana.edu @brgamache

The Bloomington Human Rights Commission has joined with local restaurants to launch a Fair Labor Initiative. The initiative, started in December, seeks to protect restaurant workers by actively recruiting local restaurants to promise compliance with state and federal labor laws. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a vulnerable work population in Bloomington,â&#x20AC;? said William Morris, Bloomington Human Rights commissioner and lawyer for Indiana Legal Services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are restaurants who will use the homeless. They underpay them, overwork them, and there are no repercussions.â&#x20AC;? After signing a document promising compliance, restaurant owners are provided with a decal to display in their stores, according to a City of Bloomington press release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to protect vulnerable workers, the un-

documented, the homeless, the invisible people who hold up the restaurant industry. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really what the Fair Labor Initiative is intended to address, to bring those people into the light,â&#x20AC;? Morris said. Restaurants must also adhere to federal safety laws and meet insurance requirements, according to the BHRC website. The commission reasoned that consumers will want to patronize restaurants that treat workers well, according to the press release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for business,â&#x20AC;? said Barbara McKinney, director of the Bloomington Human Rights Commission. The yellow, circular decal features text describing the law. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It seemed pretty reasonable to me, a good idea,â&#x20AC;? said Matt Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill, owner of the Runcible Spoon and participant in the initiative. Criteria for membership in the initiative include following minimum wage requirements and adher-

ing to the Affordable Care Act, among other regulations, according to the press release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s common sense, just follow the law,â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill said. Explaining his motivations for joining the initiative, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill described his relationship with his employees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Human beings are not machines,â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a personal relationship with our employees, they know how valuable they are to me.â&#x20AC;? Students of IU professor Stepanka Korytova were involved in actively recruiting local businesses for a service-learning project, McKinney said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Students are working on it this semester as well â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they are going out right now,â&#x20AC;? McKinney said. In addition to Korytova, Commissioners Byron Bangert and Michael Molenda were instrumental in starting the initiative, Morris said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Byron and Michael have really driven this thing,â&#x20AC;? Morris said.

The BHRC hopes to increase compliance and reduce complaints from employees on labor violations, which only have a statute of limitations of 180 days, McKinney said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bloomington is a transit community and many employees donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know their rights, and by the time they come to us itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too late,â&#x20AC;? McKinney said. The Fair Labor Initiative hopes to sign up more businesses and is planning on offering free resources to interested restaurants, according to the release. Restaurants currently signed on to the initiative include Laughing Planet, the Village Deli, Runcible Spoon, Lennieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Restaurant & Pub, Bloomington Brewing Company, Uptown CafĂŠ, Little Tibet, Taste of India, the IU Art Museum Angles CafĂŠ, Pourhouse CafĂŠ, Soma and the Atwater and College Mall Subway locations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more than filling out the form,â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have to work every day to make my employees happy and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our approach.â&#x20AC;?

Council reconvenes after 2 weeks By Neal Earley njearley@indiana.edu

Three ordinances were read at Wednesday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bloomington City Council Meeting. The meeting was the first regular session the city council had after a two week hiatus. The Jan. 21 meeting was cancelled, while the Jan. 28 meeting was a joint session with the Plan Commission. The first two ordinances on the agenda regarded two revising utility ordinances from March 2006. The first of the utility laws set for reading on the agenda was Ordinance 1502, which will amend the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sewage works bonds. The second law, similar to the first ordinance, proposes to change the waterworks revenue bonds. According to the city councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legislative packet,

the proposed bond ordinance would save Bloomington approximately $700,000. Councilman Steve Volan said that by refinancing the bond fund for sewage and waterworks, the city could save money. Ordinance 15-03 is predicted to save the city about $400,000 dollars, according to the legislative packet. The last piece of legislation on the agenda was a motion to end the delay on tax abatement for Big O Properties. At the last regular session for the city council on Jan. 14, the council voted in favor tabling the ordinance at the request of Big O Properties. The city council voted unanimously on Wednesday to take the legislation off the table and end the delay.

Ordinance 15-01 deals with a tax abatement or delay for Big O Propertiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; proposed building on 338 S. Walnut St. Big O Properties changed their original plans and asked the city council to approve a tax abatement because of the delay. During next weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting, the city council is set to discuss the tax abatement. Volan, who said he is familiar with the Friedman family who owns Big O Properties, said he is undecided on how he will vote on the ordinance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t made up my mind yet,â&#x20AC;? Volan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen the details in their plan â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at least I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reviewed them thoroughly enough ... To me itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tossup,â&#x20AC;? Volan said. Volan said he previously

voted in favor of a tax reduction for one of Big Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other properties located on 340 S. Walnut St., but says the current property up for debate may not warrant a similar deduction. In addition to removing ordinance 15-01 from the table and doing the first reading on the utility bond ordinances, the city council heard public comment where residents spoke up about black history and Bloomingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal to achieve status as a Platinum Biking City. During the councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turn for commenting, Councilman Andy Ruff expressed his worry about the Keystone XL proposed pipeline and its environmental impact, while Council President Dave Rollo used his time to express concern about global climate change.

Drunk man assaults bouncer at Dunkirk From IDS reports

Tyler W. Runquist, 23, was arrested at about 2:30 a.m. Wednesday on preliminary charges of disorderly conduct, public intoxication, battery and resisting law enforcement, according the Bloomington Police Department. The BPD received a call regarding a disturbance at 430 E. Kirkwood Ave. in progress early Wednesday morning, Sgt. John Kovach said. When officers arrived, they were flagged down behind Dunkirk in an alleyway by bar staff members because there was an individual, Runquist, who was on the barâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s property and refused to leave after being asked. Dunkirk staff reportedly refused to serve Runquist because he was too intoxicated and became belligerent, Sgt. Kovach said. Runquist reportedly struck a bouncer in the face in the upstairs bar, causing a

bloody lip and a complaint of pain. Bouncers reportedly grabbed him and removed him from the bar when he refused to leave. The fight was finished by the time officers arrived, and the bouncer didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wish to pursue charges. Bar staff and officers then tried to get Runquist to leave in a taxi, which he refused. He told officers he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to leave and wanted to go back in the bar. As officers tried to take Runquist into custody, he attempted to pull away, so officers took him to the ground, handcuffed him and transported him to the Monroe County Jail. At the jail, Runquist said he has an alcohol problem, he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember striking the bouncer and he was sorry for doing so, Sgt. Kovach said. An officer then went back to Dunkirk to talk to bar staff and the bouncer who was struck in the face. Andy Wittry

doctors didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t provide him care, Sgt. Kovach said. After doctors cleared Stewart, he began yelling and waving his arms as he was exiting the hospital, acting as though he was having a seizure. When the security officer approached him and asked him to calm down, Stewart allegedly formed a fist with his hand and struck him in the head. Because Stewart allegedly struck a public safety official in a hospital, his preliminary battery charge is a felony instead of a misdemeanor, Sgt. Kovach said.

These kids are eight going on 80. Atlanta barber Russell Frederick is now offering a special kind of haircut for misbehaving children so they have the appearance of a balding old man.

After his son’s grades began to drop, Frederick quickly took matters into his own hands. The Benjamin Button Special will grab the attention of senior ladies, but earn you a knuckle sandwich on the playground.

ZIPPER UNZIPPED

Never stop making “oxt” happen Let’s say somebody you know is having a “singles only” party on Valentine’s Day, and since you’re currently #SingleAndReadyToMingle, you can’t wait to go. You have a friend who is also single, so you invite her to tag along. “When is Valentine’s Day again?” your friend asks. “Next weekend,” you reply. “That soon?” your friend asks in a tizzy. “No, the weekend after next, the 14th, duh,” you say, impatiently. It’s such a pain in the keister having to use the wordy phrase “the weekend after next” every time, isn’t it? Why isn’t there a word that means simply “the thing after the next thing”? All your dreams have come true, because there finally is. It’s called “oxt.” So let’s modify the above conversation, but instead let’s use our handy new word. “When is Valentine’s Day again?” she asks. “Oxt weekend,” you say. Conversation over. See how much easier that was? Just think of all the time we will save thanks to Ivan Cash and Jeremy Knight, the genius creators of this concise adjective. This time we save can be spent doing so many other things, like eating snacks, taking selfies, signing petitions on change.org, playing Flappy Bird or even making outdated references in columns. But why stop there? Let’s shorten other phrases too. Take this common one: “I got all A’s this semester mom, love you.” That’s just too much to say, so let’s make it “send money please.” Or how about this correspondence I’m sure you’ve had with your roommate: “Sorry I ate all your Doritos, I thought they were mine.” So wordy! “I ate your Doritos because I hear you having

sex with your boyfriend every night” is much more concise. All of my proposed modifications point to a truism of language that is often overlooked: language is adaptable. Words are constantly gaining or losing meaning, and new words appear all the time. Just think of “selfie” and “hashtag.” These words didn’t exist 10 years ago. For the longest time the symbol “#” meant pound on a telephone, or it signified a number. Now, when I see a “#” I think “hashtag.” It’s easy to claim that words such as tweet or selfie are mere child’s play. Those can’t be real words because they haven’t been around for hundreds of years. Just because a word hasn’t been around “forever” or isn’t in the dictionary yet doesn’t mean it’s not a word. That doesn’t discount the meaning with which a society fills a word. Language is a relatively new invention. Words didn’t just appear out of nowhere. They were created much in the same way that the words “oxt” and “bae” were created: out of culture. Language has holes. We create new words to fill these holes. When Cash and Knight thought up “oxt,” they did so because they saw a hole they thought needed to be filled. Childish innuendo aside, oxt won’t happen unless you make it happen. Don’t stop trying. That’s the beauty of language: It’s anything you want it to be. zipperr@indiana.edu

JUST JOSH

Insuring your safety The Super Bowl seems to bring a new set of controversies each year. If not controversies, then plenty of discussion material. Usually, it’s in the form of the halftime show being underwhelming or ridiculous or an unfair call from the referees. But this year, I find Nationwide’s commercial to be one of most interesting topics for conversation. For those who have not yet been thoroughly depressed by the commercial, let me set the scene. The commercial opens to a shot of an adorable kid on an oversized tricycle trying to catch up with several older kids offscreen. Also, I can’t forget to mention the archetypical black Labrador retriever following close by. The commercial then goes on to show the kid in various situations — on the bus, flying with an exoskeleton glider and sailing — while he narrates in a voiceover about how he is not going to be able to do any of these things. Because, surprise! He reveals, completely deadpan, he can’t because he died in a preventable accident. The commercial then depicts a bathtub overflowing, ripped packages of detergent and a flat screen television broken on the floor. Now I don’t want to pass judgment on whether or not Nationwide should have aired the commercial. It seems most people complaining about it are essentially claiming it is too heavy and depressing for an advertisement. This implies commercials should be entertaining and palatable, dedicated only to profit, a view which is also criticized for being greedy, commercial, of course, and

profit-driven. Nationwide can’t really win. I do think the underlying message of the commercial is incredibly interesting, however. By producing the commercial, Nationwide is implying, and nearly outwardly stating, that the company is there to protect your children. But an insurance company doesn’t protect your kids. It just makes sure you get a significant sum of money if your kid dies. If anything, it stands at a disturbing, contentious relationship with its announced goal. Nationwide is doing something in pursuit of limiting preventable deaths, however. The company created a website at www.makesafehappen.com, which essentially amounts to a compilation of safety brochures conveniently gathered on a website. We know brochures are definitely effective in preventing deaths. That said, it seems misleading for Nationwide to suggest it’s doing something, which it implied is significant, to prevent accidental deaths. Especially because what it is doing is so hands-off and essentially reliant on the consumer to gain anything significant from it. In that light, the commercial seems gimmicky, designed to shock, for nothing more than associating Nationwide with child safety. allenjo@indiana.edu

Homeﬁeld advantage WE SAY: Sorority parties won’t solve real issue It’s 9 p.m. on a Saturday night. The anxious giggles of sorority girls bounce off the bathroom walls. Queen B is playing on the speakers in the background, and there is a fight for wall plugs because they’re full of straighteners and curling irons. Once everyone is primped and prepped, you head off into a sober ride to the mystical world that is the fraternity house. Booze is being poured from strange containers, and mixed drinks are being stirred for a little too long. There’s smoke coming from a room upstairs, and around midnight, everyone’s eyes start to become hazy. Things become blurred, and four shots turn into 12. The dance floor empties out, and upstairs the rooms are abuzz with activities too indecent to write out. You can picture how the night will end. But what if the night didn’t have to end in some random bedroom with a stranger? Recently, the New York Times published an article that spoke of plans for sororities to start drinking on their own turf. Maybe in a world full of rainbows and butterflies this would be a perfect plan. But at the Editorial Board, we realize we live in a world full of foul smelling bus exhaust and squirrels too friendly for their own good.

There are a few major complications with sororities throwing weekly bangers to avoid drug and rape problems. The first women’s sorority was established in 1851. The mid-19th century wasn’t too big on binge drinking, therefore the policies that surround sororities don’t even address drinking, drugs or rape. Nowadays, every sorority has a similar code of standards and ethics regarding not drinking in the house, “man hours,” drugs and misconduct. These modern-day rules strictly apply to each organization’s founding ideals. By allowing fraternity men to come into a sorority house for a party, it would create an entire shift that would digress from the old-age principles that sorority rules were built off of. If this were to be put in front of a national chapter, there would be resistance because partying isn’t what any organization wants to stand for, nonetheless host. IU would probably be more accepting of new proposals, but the fact of the matter is these changes would require a tremendous amount of time, effort and money. Beside the historic complications, there are the commonplace concerns that arise from the construction of a sorority house itself. The bottom line

is they are not built with basement party rooms or elevated surfaces. If the money was invested and nationals somehow came to an agreement and all of these things were to change, the sorority house would essentially become a frat. Drinking would consume social lives, illegal substances would be found in almost everyone’s rooms and the vibrations coming from the speakers would be never-ending. Strictly addressing IU, there are three sober monitors from each organization that should be present at all drinking events. These monitors look to stop reckless behavior and encourage safety for all members. So it’s hard to tell how much change would occur if the partying were to happen at a sorority instead of a fraternity. Maybe there would be less rape, maybe not. There’s no way to tell. But rapes don’t occur because of the environment — they occur because of who is in the situation. This proposal addresses the symptom of partying, not the true problem: sexual assault. If there’s going to be any changes made to “prevent” assault, it will have to be made by the people responsible for these rapes. Otherwise, you’re just swapping Greek houses.

WUNDERFUL

Real life vs. Internet distinction Robert Ulbricht, the alleged boss of the Internet narcotics website, Silk Road, is currently facing trial. While the Department of Justice provided evidence linking Ulbricht to running Silk Road, Ulbricht’s defense attorney provides an interesting debate: He argues for the untrustworthy nature of the Internet, and questions the link between the Internet and real life. I think this is a flawed approach. Defense attorney Joshua Dratel presented an alternative theory that Ulbricht operated under Internet pseudonym, Dread Pirate Roberts. Under this theory, Ulbricht created the website as a benign economic

experiment, handing it to its real operators after a few months, who would later frame him as being Dread Pirate Roberts. Dratel’s main premise was how Internet interactions “can be distorted, edited, moved and manipulated,” deeming it unreliable. He claims “there’s a distinction between the Internet and IRL,” meaning “in real life,” “for a reason.” “We are here in IRL, and we have to make judgments in IRL.” Dratel’s claim poses an interesting question if there is a clear distinction to be made between the Internet and real life. In this case, it seems the distinction is quite apparent. If he was never Dread Pirate

Roberts, then he should not be guilty for the illegal activities carried out by Dread Pirate Roberts. If he was, in fact, Dread Pirate Roberts, then he is obviously guilty and should be punished accordingly. But can an Internet entity like Dread Pirate Roberts even be guilty of something? What if his actions are comprised of the actions of many individuals and not one particular individual? In such cases, it would be most plausible to charge each individual responsible. After all, it is people who run the Internet and who are responsible for their own decisions. Ulbricht’s case shows how important activities on the

Internet can be to one’s life. While many believe Internet activities are untrustworthy and not to be taken seriously, their legal consequences suggest otherwise. Instead of blaming the web, more attention should be given to the people who make them. After all, the legal responsibilities in real life remain in effect at all times. This includes time spent on the Internet. nywu@indiana.edu

NOT MATCHING UP Matchups will be an issue when IU plays Northwestern By Brody Miller brodmill@indiana.edu | @Brody_Miller_

Jenn Anderson is not exactly known as a perimeter defender. She hangs inside. She takes charges when an opposing player drives through the lane. It’s not common for her to have to guard a center that shoots as many 3-pointers as both the point guard and the two guard. Despite all of this, the sophomore center will be tasked with guarding center Alex Cohen on Thursday in Assembly Hall when IU takes on Northwestern (15-6, 5-5). It’s just one example of the many matchup issues IU (138, 3-7) will face against the Wildcats. “Other than the point guard, we don’t match up with them great,” IU Coach Teri Moren said. Anderson’s matchup, Cohen, is a 6-foot-5 center that prefers to play face up. She is averaging 9.6 points per game and shooting 43 percent from 3-point range.

“The thing about Jenn, she can defend them,” Moren said. “Her body can move when she wants to. It’s just when she wants to.” In practice Wednesday, the team was running defensive drills and working on communication. Anderson was one of the loudest players on the court. “I can be a big voice out there for everybody and let everyone know when screens are coming so we don’t have anyone getting blindsided by a screen or anything,” Anderson said. Four Northwestern players standing 6-foot-1 or taller are getting at least 18 minutes per game. Despite the height, they do not play primarily as a post team or a perimeter scoring team. “They’ve scored a lot of points, and they can score in a lot of ways,” Moren said. “We are going to have to really mix it up.” One of those players is forward Nia Coffey, who Moren referred to as one of the best power forwards in

Sophomore guard Alexis Gassion is often in charge of covering more athletic fours, but that means sophomore forward Amanda Cahill ends up guarding the three. “They can fill it up from the outside,” Moren said. “But they also have a terrific inside game because Coffey goes in and she can post you up.” While IU attempts to figure out the defensive schemes, they have a little more confidence after a 72-55 win Monday against rival Purdue. This win came on the heels of a four-game losing streak. Moren and Anderson have both mentioned that the team showed more toughness in being able to finally put a win together. “We all got together and said, ‘We need to do this,’ because we were all sick and tired of losing,” Anderson said.

Agler played zero minutes against Purdue By Brody Miller brodmill@indiana.edu @Brody_Miller_

Something was missing Monday from IU’s 72-55 win against Purdue. This something had been there for every IU women’s basketball game over the past two seasons. This something was actually a someone. This someone was Taylor Agler. The sophomore guard had started in each of the first 49 games of her IU career. Then, she did not start Jan. 11 in a 69-52 win against Wisconsin due to an ankle injury. She hasn’t started a game since, but she still always played. Monday, Agler did not

play a single minute against rival Purdue. Nobody seemed to notice. No one asked about it in the postgame press conference. It was not due to injury. “It was just a game decision,” IU Coach Teri Moren said. Sophomore guard Karlee McBride took some of the playing time that might have otherwise been Agler’s. She scored nine points and had three rebounds in the victory. “It wasn’t a matter of Taylor doing anything wrong,” Moren said. “Karlee was just really good.” While McBride and sophomore guard Gassion have taken some of Agler’s time, it was an unexpected contributor that kept Agler out all

VALENTINE’S DAY...

THE SPORT S’TORI

Why do we hate Tom Brady? When Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler intercepted Russell Wilson’s goal-line pass, an underdog stole the Super Bowl. It wasn’t Butler. The undrafted rookie made the game-winning play, prying Wilson’s second Super Bowl ring off his finger. But it was Tom Brady, the man whom Butler provided a fourth ring, who was the true underdog of Super Bowl 49. The sixth-round draft pick out of Michigan will always be an underdog. He was never supposed to win one ring, let alone four. But we stopped thinking of Brady as such sometime between 2004 and 2005, after he won his second and third Super Bowls. The clock struck midnight for Brady, but his horse-drawn carriage remained. And as his prolonged fairy tale continued, we started to hate him. But why? Why do we hate Tom Brady, the Yankees, LeBron James and other sports icons built on a tradition of success? There’s an easy answer for LeBron — we hate him because of the Decision. We hate the Yankees, too, because of their ability to “purchase” championships.

What we really hate is the antithesis to our underdog, our common man. We like the underdog because we can relate to him. He comes from similar means, dreams and adversities, and from these similarities we draw inspiration. But in sports culture, too much winning becomes too good to be true. Each title furthers the degree of separation between us and the burgeoning legend. For Brady, the dissonance is furthered by his California roots, uncanny good looks and supermodel wife. Peyton Manning, on the other hand, is a down-toearth southern gentleman. His looks aren’t remarkable. We’ve never heard about his wife. He’s won only one Super Bowl. And we respect him. Sports are supposed to be the great equalizer, a place for fans to stake their pride and reputation. But when one team wins more than its fair share — watch out. Success, it turns out, is a polarizing subject. Those belonging to a legacy fan base have an us-against-the-world mentality, one those of us at IU share.

We have an affinity for our banners, but the world outside of Assembly Hall loathes Bob Knight and the storied Hoosiers. But here’s the rub: Dynasty should be celebrated just as much as the underdog. It takes an incredible amount of discipline for teams such as Kentucky to put together a 22-0 season. Instead of projecting hatred in the face of this and other instances of sports history in the making, we need to appreciate the exceptional nature of these human feats. Four-time Super Bowl winner Joe Montana served as Brady’s inspiration growing up, as should Brady for young athletes today. Because, hate him or not, Brady the underdog is now Brady the GOAT. We can either despise him or use his and other examples to aspire to a greater level of success. vziege@indiana.edu

game. “I’ll tell you who came in and really helped us and made a difference was Lyndsay Leikem,” Moren said. The sophomore forward was averaging eight minutes a game in the Big Ten season heading into Monday night. She was on the court for 24 minutes against Purdue. She compiled eight rebounds, but it was what she brought defensively that Moren said she appreciated most. Moren said Leikem did a tremendous job guarding the four, which meant Gassion did not have to spend as much time guarding post players. “When you get in the Big Ten, it’s always about matchups,” Moren said.

IU Coach Kevin Wilson looks on during a fourth quarter timeout in Indiana’s game against Navy on Oct. 20, 2012 at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. The Hoosiers officially unveiled their 2015 recruiting class Wednesday.

» WAGE

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Linda Gales, president of the Communications Workers of America union chapter that is based out of IU, offered comments on the proposed increase of the minimum wage. “My opinion is that it should be raised, but not by almost $3 per hour,” Gales said. “Having said that, between minimum wage jobs out of necessity becoming full-time jobs for some and the definition of full-time having been decreased by several hours, without consistent overtime it would be very difficult for anyone to be able to support themselves working a minimum wage hourly job.” There is a different minimum wage for tipped employees in Indiana, which are defined as any employees

that make more than $30 per month from tips, or $2.13 per hour. Indiana has the lowest minimum wage for tipped employees in the country, a ranking that it shares with 16 other states. Dani Graf works at Mother Bear’s Pizza and lives off her income as a server. “I think the minimum wage should be $10,” Graf said. “It’s impossible to live on minimum wage to support yourself.” She said some people have to get roommates or are forced to break the law in order to be able to afford living. Bronti McClellan, another server who works at Cafe Pizzeria and who supports herself with a tipped employee wage, simultaneously attends IU and Ivy Tech part-time. “It’s extremely hard,” McClellan said. “It’s hard to buy food from (any place) other

than work. If it’s not in the budget, then I can’t buy it. Rent before food.” According to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are approximately 3,301,000 people in the United States who earn the federal minimum wage. In Indiana, of the 1,731,000 people working at an hourly rate, 108,000 of them are paid the state minimum wage or less. This equates to about 6.2 percent of the Indiana workers being paid an hourly wage that are being paid minimum wage. The general manager at Penn Station on Indiana Avenue, Billy Banard, said it is difficult to live in Bloomington with the high cost of living. “You can’t get anything on minimum wage,” Banard said. “You work a full 40 hours, you still won’t have enough to cover rent.” He added that half

forward to developing what appears to be some better talented guys ... A better starting point.” The players making up the signing class that calls itself the #CrimsonArmy15 have expressed excitement about the class. Once one player committed, he began recruiting others, and the dominoes began to fall. Wilson also spoke highly of his current players who all worked as program salesmen, but above all else, he said it was the time spent with the recruits that’s making a difference. IU’s coaching staff has made it a priority to show high school players it cares. Whether that be through shooting messages back and forth or traveling for in-home visits, Wilson has made it a goal to build strong relationships with targets early in the process. And after being pleased with another signing class, Wilson believes it’s working in recruiting. Now, the key is getting wins on the field. “We go in there, and we show the kid love,” Wilson said. “It’s relationship building, and sometimes it takes some time to build relationships ... It’s a very, very positive sell.” the money earned is typically applied to rent. A sales clerk at the Village Pantry at the intersection of Third and Jordan streets gave a statement on the feasibility to live on minimum wage in Indiana. “Impossible. You cannot do it,” he said. “Even if you have food stamps, it would be extremely difficult to live on minimum wage, especially in Bloomington.” Kentucky, Tennessee and Wisconsin all also have $7.25 per hour as their minimum wages. In Michigan it is $8.15 an hour, and in Illinois it is $8.25 an hour. The Ohio minimum wage is $8.10 an hour, but for businesses that earn less than $297,000 per year, the minimum wage is $7.25 per hour. “I would probably have to work about 50 hours a week to make ends meet,” Fraier said.

» ATWOOD

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 the student-only event Wednesday. Atwood read selections chosen by IU students and faculty, including a selection from “The Blind Assassin.” She read about lizard men, luscious peach women and the planets of Aa’A and Xenor. “If you read any more, my heart would have exploded,” CAHI Interim Director Ed Comentale said after Atwood sat down for the Q&A that followed the reading. Comentale asked Atwood questions about her life’s work, projects and her writing. Atwood disputed the “activist” title she is often associated with. She said true activists devote the entirety of their lives to their respective causes. “I’m a person with no job who contributes her time on a limited basis,” Atwood said. “Really, I am a writer.” In her book “Oryx and Crake,” there are two institutions, the Watson-Crick Institute and the Martha Graham Academy. The first is described as a highly rated, wellfunded school for STEM, the second as a dilapidated school for the arts and humanities. Though the book reveals a dismal outlook on the future of the liberal arts, Atwood said she does have hope. Atwood, who has taken an interest in science throughout her career, spoke of how neurologists perceive arts and humanities, physical education, music and interactions with nature as good for child development. “All the things they tossed out of the curriculum,” Atwood said, chuckling. “They are coming back. Just not fast enough.” Students also had a chance to ask Atwood questions. Multiple students told Atwood it was an honor to see her speak. Atwood told the audience she is currently working on four different projects, including fin-

“If you were just writing for yourself, you would just write it and burn it. You are always writing to somebody.” Margaret Atwood, writer

ishing a novel due out in the fall and contributing to “The Future Library,” a project in which one writer per year contributes a text for 100 years, continuing until the project is finished in 2114. Eventually these texts will become an anthology of books printed with paper supplied by a forest planted in Norway. Questions ranged from how Atwood finds the time to write so much and whether she tailors her writing to fit her readership. Speaking to writers, Atwood said repeatedly, “Your duty is to the book.” Atwood urged writers to focus on being honest in their writing rather than focusing on how readers will respond. She said, however, that a writer is always writing for someone. “If you were just writing for yourself, you would just write it and burn it,” Atwood said. “You are always writing to somebody.” Atwood also encouraged readers to read works they do not expect to enjoy. Atwood spoke of how she has a varied readership. She receives mail from people of all ages from across the globe. “I would say to you, as readers, to pick something that makes you really uncomfortable,” she said. Yet for people like English professor Monique Morgan, it is Atwood’s ability to address serious issues that makes her work so valuable. “She keeps up with the latest developments in science,” Morgan said. “She cares deeply about political movements. I think she’s a wonderful representative of how literature can speak to so many different constituencies and bring them in conversation with each other.”

J.C. Chandor builds new crime ﬁlm era ‘A Most Violent Year’ Grade: A There is a moment during “A Most Violent Year” in which Abel Morales is standing on the edge of a pier with his lawyer, discussing the acquisition on which Abel is working. His lawyer keeps wondering what truly motivates Abel to keep expanding. “I mean, have you ever thought why you want it so badly?” the lawyer asks. Abel never really answers the question, but that concept of Morales’ motivation frames an interesting look into a fascinating character in a well-done film. Abel Morales is a relatively young immigrant who has worked his way up from a lowly truck driver to the owner of an ever-growing oil company in 1981, one of the most violent years in New York City history. Writer and director J.C. Chandor puts together beautiful scenery to display such a captivating character as Abel, played by the remarkable Oscar Isaac. Abel is Michael Corleone without the bloodshed. He is a smart, stoic man who refuses to resort to crime to succeed, like many of his competitors have been doing in order to derail Abel’s business. He isn’t Atticus Finch telling tales of morality. He simply understands these actions would take away from the admirable accomplishments he has accumulated. When a young truck driver who Abel took a special interest in gets

himself into trouble with the law, he asks Abel if he ever gets scared. He asks what he does when he becomes scared. “I have always been much more scared of failure than anything else,” Abel said. That could be the answer to the lawyer’s earlier question about why Abel operates the way he does. He sees that acting corruptly and breaking the law might make things far easier in the short term, but that it could easily cost him far more. Abel’s wife, a gangster’s daughter played by Jessica Chastain, is the one in the family who is prepared to pull the trigger. She’s the one who shoots a deer to put him out of his misery while Abel stood timidly looking at the animal he just hit with his car. She wants Abel to cut some corners and be more aggressive in order to solve some of the business’s issues. Abel doesn’t want to fail, and he sees that arming drivers and robbing trucks could lead to failure. The beauty of this plot is the slow boil that presents Abel with opportunity after opportunity to solve his problems with easy way out. I will not spoil whether he takes any of these chances, but I will say that Abel is a refreshing character who is strong and tough in a way that shows or movies don’t often enough display. I once heard someone say great crime films look at crime as a microcosm of society. That could not be more true in “A Most Violent Year.” It shows the way in which

the everyday working man has pressure coming at all angles and has to attempt to do the right thing and still provide for his family. Abel is a man who does not have to kill or steal to show how tough he is. His toughness is in the way he endures every brutal bump in the road in this movie without losing it. He does not buckle or give up or take the easy road. Abel continues to work and scheme to find a way to come out of his situation on top. Just like the father who loses his job and has to keep going for his family. Just like the single mother who has to handle both roles of parenting. “A Most Violent Year” is the tale of the American dream and the American nightmare. Abel is an example of how the dream worked out through hard work and doing the right thing. The truck driver who gets into trouble, a fellow immigrant, is the frightening example of how badly things can go in the quest for that dream. Not all of Abel’s successes are through being the moral businessman, as his wife points out late in the movie. A lot of it is luck. Some of it is his wife making the tough choices he refuses to make. This film is not a black-and-white portrayal of right and wrong. But at the end of the movie, Abel goes to put a piece of paper in the hole of an oil tank that had just had a bullet shot through it. Because that’s what Abel does — he handles the holes that pop up in his life. Brody Miller

NEWS TRIBUNE SERVICE

Time travel film fulfills sci-fi needs ‘Project Almanac’ Grade: BAs a Whovian, time travel isn’t a new idea for me. Once you’ve gone through a season or two of “Doctor Who,” you know just about everything you need to know, or at least what you can comprehend, about the “wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff ” that makes up the complex science of time travel. Even though I thought I’d seen everything there is to see in terms of time travel, I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with “Project Almanac.” The film centers around recent MIT admit David Raskin and his group of high school friends who stumble across the blueprints for a time machine in David’s basement. So, what does one do when one finds the plans for a time machine? Well, if you’re as smart as David, you build it. After several failed trials and one felony, the group of friends is going back in time.

Some of their time traveling antics are pretty typical, such as winning the lottery. But the majority of their travels are things only high school students would deem worthy of defying physics, such as passing a test you neglected to study for, putting a bully in her place, attending Lollapalooza and fixing an embarrassing moment with a girl. Eventually, the consequences of time travel begin to catch up with the group. Every jump they make, every change they cause, has a rippling effect that becomes dire. Plane crashes and forest fires break out and friends are injured and go missing, leaving David with the responsibility to save the world, even if that means relinquishing his dream life and the dream girl. “Project Almanac” is filmed purely with handheld cameras, shot as though the characters were holding it, which roots it in a documentary format similar to that of 2012’s “Chronicle.” It deepens the connection between the characters

and the audience, as your vision is limited to whatever the character holding the camera is seeing. Though the film succeeds in creating a realistic portrayal of the impossible through a teenagedriven plotline and the documentary film style, the authenticity is tainted by one aspect: only one of the main characters is played by a teenager. Casting adults as teenagers isn’t a new or uncommon occurrence in film, but it is getting annoying and downright exhausting. I’m not sure if Hollywood casting directors have just forgotten that teenagers exist in real life, but I would highly recommend they take a day trip to the local Hollister for a reminder, and maybe stop for some fro-yo on the way back. “Project Almanac” is a clever and believable tale of what teenagers with a time machine would be like. It’s no “Doctor Who,” but if you’re a big enough sci-fi nerd, it will fill the black hole in your heart. Lexia Banks

Picasso’s granddaughter to privately sell art

EDITORS: AUDREY PERKINS & KATHRINE SCHULZE | ARTS@IDSNEWS.COM

Marina Picasso, 64 years old, grew up resenting her family. In her 20s, she inherited a 19th century villa as well as a mass amount of Picasso’s art treasures, which she turned to face the walls

and refused to acknowledge, according to the New York Times. Now, she is planning on selling them to finance her philanthropy. The works will sell privately, according to the New York Times.

Glenn Close will be coming April 27 to the IU Cinema as part of the Jorgensen Guest Filmmaker Lecture. Close will give a talk and be present for a screening of “Fatal Attraction.”

Glenn Close coming to campus in April From IDS reports

The Jorgensen Guest Filmmaker Lecture Series will welcome six lecturers, including actress Glenn Close, to Bloomington this semester. Close will be on campus April 27, when she’ll give a talk and be present for the screening of her thriller “Fatal Attraction” at the IU Cinema, according to a press release. The 1987 movie is part of the “Mental Illness in American Film” series. Close is the founder of Bring Change 2 Mind, an organization that works to end the stigma and discrimination of mental illness. The other lecturers this year will be director Beth B, filmmaker MM Serra, Australian director Peter Weir, director Guy Maddin and filmmaker Abderrahmane Sissako. “We are honored once again to host such a lineup of prominent guests this spring,” IU Cinema Director Jon Vickers said in the release. “Each will share their work, anecdotes, inspiration and vision with our audiences.” Weir has had six Oscar nominations for movies including “Dead Poets Society” and “Witness.” Nine of Weir’s films will be shown at the IU Cinema between Feb. 20 and March 4. Sissako is a filmmaker from Mali. His film “Timbuktu” received an Oscar nomination in the best foreign language film category, according to the University. “Having master filmmaker Peter Weir of Australia and Abderrahmane Sissako from Mali will add to the important list of world cinema directors who have visited IU Cinema,” Vickers said in the release. “And Beth B, MM Serra and Guy Maddin each will bring their unique artistic visions to our audiences.” The visual language in Maddin’s films are reminiscent of the silent film era and art deco, according to the University. His movie “My Winnipeg,” as well as several of his short films, are set to be screened during Maddin’s

visit on April 10. “If you have never experienced a Guy Maddin film on screen, you do not want to miss this opportunity,” Vickers said in the release. French filmmaker JeanPierre Jeunet was scheduled to speak next week, but Jeunet had to cancel his visit, according to the University. “We were very excited to bring French filmmaker Jean-Pierre Jeunet in February, but due to an accelerated production schedule on a new project, he will not be able to attend,” Vickers said in the release. “Though his absence is unfortunate, all of the films in his retrospective will be screened.” The lectures are free and open to the public, but tickets are required for the screenings. Each talk will begin at 3 p.m. at the IU Cinema. “It is pretty incredible and humbling for me to look back over the past four years to see that the Jorgensen Lecture Series has already brought more than 90 filmmakers to Indiana University, including Werner Herzog, Meryl Streep, Abbas Kiarostami, Christine Vachon, Albert Maysles, Ava DuVernay, Charles Burnett and Kevin Kline, to name a few,” Vickers said in the release. Beth B Feb. 6, 7 p.m. IU Cinema Beth B is a longtime member of the underground New York scene and the director of “Exposed,” a documentary that profiles eight young burlesque stars, according to the release. She is scheduled to be present for the screening of this unrated film. Her film and lecture contains mature content and graphic nudity. Discretion is advised. MM Serra Feb. 27, 6:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. IU Cinema Serra’s work covers the territory of sexuality and the darker side of the human psyche, according to the release. She will attend screenings of “The Short,

Radical Films of MM Serra” at 9:30 p.m. and “The Explicit Celluloid Body,” a 6:30 p.m. screening of short films from The Film-Makers Cooperative. The films and lecture contain mature content and graphic nudity. Discretion is advised. Peter Weir March 2 - 4, times vary IU Cinema This Australian director earned six Oscar nominations for films such as “Dead Poets Society” and “Witness.” IU Cinema is set to screen nine of his films between Feb. 20 and March 4, according to the release. Weir is scheduled to attend screenings of “Master and Commander: The Far Side of The World” at 7 p.m. March 2, “Picnic at Hanging Rock” at 7 p.m. March 3 and “Gallipoli” at 4 p.m. March 4. Guy Maddin April 10, 6:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. IU Cinema Maddin employs a visual language from the past that is reminiscent of the aesthetic characteristics of the art deco and the silent film era, according to the release. The night before his talk, Maddin is slated to attend screenings of “My Winnipeg” at 6:30 p.m. and his short films at 9:30 p.m. Abderrahmane Sissako April 17, 6:30 p.m. IU Cinema Sissako received an Oscar nomination in the best foreign language film category for his work “Timbuktu.” He and Kessen Tall, his co-writer and executive producer on the film, will be on campus April 13 to 19 for a series of events, according to the release. The night before Sissako’s Jorgensen Lecture, he and Tall will attend a 6:30 p.m. screening of “Timbuktu.” A Q&A session is slated to follow, according to the release. Additionally, Sissako is scheduled to attend the screening of “Bamako” at 6:30 p.m. April 17 to be followed by a discussion on politics and development. Kathrine Schulze

BPP ‘Make Me Bad’ show run extended for extra performance due to high demand From IDS reports

After selling out its third consecutive show, Bloomington Playwrights Project extended the “Make Me Bad” run by one more performance, which will be Feb. 11. This is their third show of the season, according to a BPP press release. So far this season, the theater has sold out every show, including an extended run of “Kalamazoo” and “She Kills Monsters.” Tickets are available at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater Box Office or online at newplays.org. Tickets are $20 for general admission, $17 for seniors and $10 for students. “Make Me Bad,” a musical thriller by Drew Gasparini and Alex Brightman, is produced in partnership with the IU De-

partment of Theatre, Drama and Contemporary Dance. The show features students from the IU bachelor of fine arts musical theater program and is under the musical direction of Benjamin Smith, a Jacobs School of Music doctoral student. “Make Me Bad” is the fifth collaboration between BPP and IU Theatre. This musical thriller tells the story of Daisy Harris, a young woman living in a small town and stuck in a deadend job with an overbearing mother and a troubled past, according to the release. She then meets charming and cryptic Max just as a run of unexplained murders occur in town. The relationship formed between the two reveals the atrocities of Daisy’s past but foreshadows the

darkness that is to come, according to the release. “When we started writing ‘Make Me Bad,’ it was clear from the start that we were writing something different and risky,” Brightman said in the release. “There’s dark ... and then there’s DARK. Drew and I both share an affinity for musicals and plays and movies that push and challenge the form. I have been a lifelong fan of horror movies and thrillers. It’s very rare that you find yourself being terrified in a theater. I wanted to write something that was not only a fun story to follow and unravel but something that would keep you on the edge of your seat and sometimes knock you off of it.” Audrey Perkins

The folk music of Minnesota will soon be arriving in Bloomington. Trampled by Turtles, a folk band from Duluth, Minn., will perform at 8 p.m. today at the Bluebird Nightclub. The band is set to be joined at the show by fellow Duluth, Minn., folk musician Charlie Parr and Minneapolis folk duo The Lowest Pair. “There’s a lot of good Minnesota bands right now,” Trampled by Turtle’s fiddle player Ryan Young said. “The two bands we’re going on tour with are two prime examples of good Minnesota music right now.” Since the release of its latest album “Wild Animals” in July 2014, Trampled by Turtles has been touring heavily around the United States in addition to making appearances on NPR’s “Tiny Desk Sessions” and “Late Show with David Letterman.” Their momentum doesn’t look as though it will be stopping soon, either, with tour dates announced until the end of August, many of which are appearances at festivals such as the

and folk music, Trampled by Turtles isn’t afraid to venture into other genres such as rock. “This isn’t your daddy’s bluegrass band,” DeVille wrote. “This is bluegrass for people who don’t necessarily like bluegrass.” The Lowest Pair’s debut album, “36 Cents,” was released January 2014 and found the duo already connected to Trampled by Turtles with Simonett as a producer and engineer on the album. Evan Schlansky wrote for American Songwriter that the pair combines “a two-banjo approach with earnest, earthy songcraft.” Charlie Parr also released a new album in 2014. “Hollandale,” an improvisational and instrumental album of five songs, was produced by Alan Sparhawk, who also served as producer for Trampled by Turtle’s “Wild Animals.” “I normally record with a set number of tunes, and I know them from start to finish,” Parr wrote on his website. “Here I started with a tuning and maybe a couple of phrases and then improvised the rest.” Tickets are available for $20. The show is open only to those 21 and older. Doors open at 7 p.m.

Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival and the band’s own Festival Palomino. Young said when the band goes on tour, it creates a new set list every night because it doesn’t want to do the same show twice. He also said they try to create a good mixture of their songs — old, new, fast and slow — to make each show different. “Our shows are high energy and kind of intense,” Young said. Some of the themes on the album, according to the band’s website, stem from lead songwriter Dave Simonett’s recent move from Duluth, Minn., to Minneapolis. He wrote on the website about the ritual of spending time alone in a solitary, natural environment that he had to give up when he moved to a larger city. “This was a very important ritual for me,” Simonett wrote. “Solitary time in a nearly untouched landscape is my version of church, so I think there is a bit of loss of religion in a lot of my work these days.” Writing for the Current, Bill DeVille said the band continues “to focus more on the songcraft than the speed and precision.” He also wrote that, despite being a band bedded in bluegrass

KINSEY CONFIDENTIAL

Sex study institutions explored Kinsey Confidential is a service of the Kinsey Institute. For more good sex information, podcasts or to submit a question, visit us online at kinseyconfidential.org. I am interested in studying sex. I am currently working on an MBA but want a degree in sexuality, too. Where can I get a degree like that? Thank you. How nice that you’re interested in studying sexuality. Many people with business degrees find themselves working in sexuality-related companies, developing or marketing or advertising products such as condoms, lubricants, vibrators, vaginal moisturizers, erectile medications, tampons, menstrual cups, ovulation tests, etc. Sex is a topic of study — not a discipline. This means you can study sexuality is-

sues in a number of different fields. Programs with a particular focus on sexuality include some in public health, psychology, sociology, anthropology, media studies, gender studies and women’s studies, just to name a few. Within the study of sexuality, some people focus on sex research while others focus on sex therapy, education or medicine. You may find it interesting to read the book “How I Got Into Sex” for stories from people in diverse aspects of sexuality related professions or the newer book “How I Got Into Sex ... Ed” for stories of sexuality educators and the paths that they took. In addition, attending a professional conference related to sex research, education, or therapy may

s e n a L c i s s a l C

be of interest to you. You can learn more through the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists; the Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality; the Society for Sex Therapy and Research; and the International Society for the Study of Women’s Sexual Health.

NBC series says goodbye New plotlines await ‘Scandal’

‘Parenthood’ Grade: A

‘Scandal’

By the time the opening title sequence began to sing its calming ode to love, tears flooded my eyes. “May God Bless and Keep You Always.” Those few poignant words, the lyrics to the theme song and episode title of the series finale, completely sum up what “Parenthood” is about. After six beautiful seasons about unconditional love and familial bonds, “Parenthood” has come to a close while the getting was still good. “Parenthood” never defaulted into the cheesy show about a large family that loves every member. There was most definitely love, but there was also sorrow and anger. It was a tale about the human condition and forgiveness, and in a world ridden with shows about scandal and societal horrors, a show as raw as “Parenthood,” where all the emotions are out on the table in a real way, was refreshing. Lessons can be learned from the Braverman clan — lessons for life. “Parenthood” involved a beautiful execution of character development, showing just how great humans really can be with a little bit of unconditional love and recognition that we are all just human, trying to do

our best every day. The first episode brought viewers a distraught Sarah Braverman, played by the lovely Lauren Graham, fleeing her home to move with her two children back to her parents’ house.

ABC’s #TGIT was back and better than ever Jan. 29 with the premiere of “Scandal.” After a long winter break filled with anticipation, show creator Shonda Rhimes delivered in the best way possible. This wasn’t your typical episode where the underlying plot was Olivia Pope jumping from Jake to Fitz and from Fitz to Jake. Viewers were left off with Olivia finally choosing between President Fitz and Jake. Just as she tells Jake she picks herself, she is abducted. And the viewer is left with so many questions. Who did it? Was it her estranged and dangerous father? Was it the president and his many men? Was it the president’s enemies? No, no, and, well, maybe. Olivia is taken to a rundown, prison-like place to hold her until these masked men, who we have never seen before, get what they want. And it isn’t just money. The minute she was taken to this prison, I become overwhelmed with disappointment.

Confer with your team confidentially. Clarify your direction, and who will do what. Offer peacemaker skills. Be sensitive to another’s view. Offer comfort and compassion (especially to yourself). Rest and relax. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is an 8 — Your team inspires you today and tomorrow. Heed a cautious person’s warning. Wait to get a project moving... talk over all the angles first. Associates provide valuable input. Invest (at least your time) in a professional opportunity. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is an 8 — Watch out for

keep Olivia locked up in this chamber for episodes to come? But just as the episode neared its end and I feared it selling out, Rhimes showed us what she was made of once again. Boring and typical is just not in her DNA. Olivia wasn’t just going to be “some” prisoner in “some” prison. This was going to be good, and if you could survive this premiere, you would earn a new and exciting story line. For all you “Scandal” lovers who were getting tired of the Fitz-Olivia-Jake love triangle, never fret. You will be rewarded for your patience. I was mostly shocked by the entire episode focusing on Olivia. There were no flashes to what was being done in Washington, D.C., to save her. For once, Olivia was completely on her own and it was refreshing. The episode also makes you wonder if Olivia can truly leave behind her lifestyle. We’ve seen her try before, wanting to stand in the sun with Jake, only to step back into the darkness of Washington, D.C. It’s not clear in what direction Olivia is headed, whether she will be pulled back in or if she already has been.

HEAR ME OUT

The 2015 class has IU in the right direction Football and basketball recruiting are by far the most covered, the most publicized. The major difference between them is that in basketball, one recruit can change a program. One class can put a program on the map. In football, one class is a blip on a radar. It is an interesting note in the bigger picture of either winning or

losing as a program. The 2013 class for IU was impressive. Three players were ranked as four-star recruits by 247sports.com. That was a big accomplishment for a low-level Big Ten school like IU. Last year brought in another impressive class with several players that contributed as freshmen. Now, IU has put together three consecutive strong

recruiting classes, an indication that the Hoosiers are actually on the way to becoming a quality program. I know, IU fans, you have heard this time and time again. But it is hard to actually deny at this point. You cannot fake three good recruiting classes in a row. The program is now full of genuinely talented players, many of whom have already contributed.

The 2015 class has addressed the majority of needs for the IU program. The team needed a true pass-rusher. The Hoosiers are adding two players who have high-level pass-rushing and block-shedding skill sets in Florida native Brandon Wilson and Indiana native Jacob Robinson. Cornerback was an area of concern in 2014. IU is not bringing many, if any,

true cornerback prospects, but it has several athletes that have the skills to be corners at the college level. In Wednesday’s signing day press conference, IU Coach Kevin Wilson said four-star safety Tyler Green will start out at corner for IU. That would be a much better use of his game. The talent is there at IU, arguably more true talent than IU has had in decades.

Brody Miller is a sophomore in journalism.

Whether they win is a whole other matter. That comes down to coaching. But trust me, IU fans, the talent is there. Thank Wilson. brodmill@indiana.edu

IU signed 22 players during National Signing Day. Here’s an in-depth breakdown of 5

SIGNING DAY 2015 IU’S SIGNEES Joe Belden, DL Andre Brown Jr., ATH Jameel Cook Jr., DB Jonathan Crawford, ATH Austin Dorris, TE Tyler Green, DB Donavan Hale, ATH Issac James, ATH Reakwon Jones, LB Austin King, QB Brandon Knight, OL Hunter Littlejohn, OL DaVondre Love, OL Mike Majette, ATH Camion Patrick, WR Jacob Robinson, DL

Nick Westbrook, WR Lake Mary (Fla.) High School One could argue Westbrook is the best player right away in this class. Take note of his 1,857 receiving yards in his senior year of high school. He has uncatchable breakaway speed once he gets in open field, but his most impressive skill may be his jump ball ability. There were moments at Lake Mary in which Westbrook would jump over two defenders to pull down a deep pass.

Brandon Knight, OL Noblesville (Ind.) High School Knight stands at 6-foot-5 but does not look like it at all, and that is a compliment. He stays low to the ground, which is hard to teach good high school linemen because they are used to being able to physically dominate everyone. He has the make up of a potentially great run blocker due to his quick acceleration. On film there were times he covered more ground than the running backs he blocked for.

Jacob Robinson, DL Westfield (Ind.) High School Robinson is a versatile defensive lineman that has the ability to play as a pass-rushing linebacker as well. He displays strong pass-rushing skills, but needs to stay lower when dealing with college level offensive lineman. Robinson is very athletic for his size and has the frame to build into a true lineman if he wants to. In high school, he was involved in almost every play.

Brandon Wilson, DL/LB West Orange High School, Winter Garden, Fla. Wilson may have the highest upside in the 2015 class. He is an explosive athlete who could be the pass-rushing linebacker that IU has been wanting under defensive coordinator Brian Knorr. He played as a defensive end in high school, but in a 3-4 scheme, he projects to play the bandit role. He could play right away.

Simon Stepaniak, OL

Reakwon Jones, LB A. Crawford Mosley High School, Lynn Haven, Fla. Jones is hard to pin down to a certain position because of his athleticism, but he plays like a true inside linebacker. He has a gift for reading the movement of the line of scrimmage and bursting through the gap when he sees the running back make his move. Weight will be crucial to Jones, but down the road he could be a true run-stopper. He even compared himself to IU freshman Tegray Scales.
