IU grad chosen as new director

Tiebreaker Local education leaders displeased with DeVos confirmation

A Jacobs graduate will take over at the Buskirk-Chumley From IDS reports

The Buskirk-Chumley Theater announced Tuesday a Jacobs School of Music graduate and longtime Bloomington sound and stage technician would be its new technical director.

David DeSante had already been serving as the interim technical director for the theater, which began a nationwide search for a new permanent director in October, according to a press release from the theater.

“After interviewing candidates from a five-state area, and receiving applications from qualified technicians from all over the country, we were thrilled to find the most talented, skilled person was already here in Bloomington,” BuskirkChumley Executive Director Danielle McClelland said in the release.

McClelland said in an email the theater is happy to welcome DeSante, and that his instatement at the venue will help them realize the full capacity of the new sound, lights and project capacity BCT now has.

DeSante is not only a skilled technician, McClelland said. He has worked closely with past technical directors as an assistant during more than one show.

n one of the most contentious cabinet position nominations of the Trump administration, the Senate voted 5050 Tuesday to confirm Betsy DeVos for Secretary of Education. Vice President Mike Pence cast the first tie-breaking vote ever for a cabinet position, in favor of DeVos. The last time a vice president had cast a tiebreaking vote was in 2008 by Dick Cheney.

Local education leaders said they were

not surprised that DeVos was confirmed, but they were still disappointed.

Cathy Fuentes-Rohwer, Monroe County school board member and Indiana Coalition for Public Education of Monroe County chairperson, said that Pence’s historical tiebreaking vote was a slap in the face. Pence was largely in favor of voucher programs and charter schools while he was governor of Indiana.

She said she thinks the narrative on public schools has been taken over by those in favor of privatization to say this is about

giving parents a choice of where to send their children.

“We need to help people remember that public schools are here for a democracy,” she said. “We want an educated citizenry.”

Fuentes-Rohwer said that some of the proposed legislation in the Indiana General Assembly is already reflective of privatizing education, such as placing voucher SEE DEVOS, PAGE 10 SOURCE C-SPAN GRAPHIC BY LANIE MARESH | IDS

IU veterans respond Senior golfer not worried about to Trump’s actions scores, but leaving a lasting mark

By Emily Berryman

eberryma@indiana.edu | @Ember_Otter

A freeze on federal hiring, banning immigration from seven countries, erasing climate change actions and deregulating Wall Street are all actions the current president has taken since his swearing-in Jan. 20. Many of the actions have been executive orders, but President Trump is also commander in chief, and he has soldiers to answer to as well as the rest of the United State of America.

Curtis Hall, IU student and Navy veteran, said Trump is handicapping the government by giving orders without prior approval and no plan for the details.

“He is violating the Constitution,” Hall said. “This is not what I fought for, lost friends for and tried to save. He does not represent my America.”

Hall said he thinks people are buying into the sensationalism Trump spread, and instead of doing research on the subjects, they just believed him.

“I have lots of family who were supporters of Trump,” Hall said.

“My Republican military friends were also supporters. They saw a need for change and did not think Clinton was a valid choice.”

Hall said he is worried the new policies will affect how the U.S. is seen on a global perspective. He said he fears, among other things, that the ban will result in the loss

of troops’ lives. He is worried locals will not see troops as people they can trust. This may degrade relations and put lives at risk, he said.

Miles Vining, former infantry marine graduated from IU in December 2016, disagrees with Hall.

He said he does not think the immigration ban in particular will affect the safety of troops, but the locals just do not care.

Vining said veterans are as diverse as the rest of the population and in more careers than he can count and cannot speak on behalf of all vets. He said he did not vote for President Trump, but he is doing some things right.

Vining writes for the firearm blog and said he is a proponent of the Second Amendment and so seems to be Trump.

“Trump is the best option for the industry,” Vining said.

“He is passing a hearing protection act and making parts more accessible.”

Despite his assurances that Trump and the military are on the same side, the president does not have Vining’s unwavering support.

“The guy is an idiot and a moron,” Vining said. “But he is trying to be more endearing to the military, trying to show he cares.

Although the LGBT community probably is unhappy.”

As senior Ana Sanjuan approaches the end of her career as a member of the women’s golf team, she is trying not to focus on winning tournaments or making the next step as a professional. Instead, she said her main goal is to leave a mark on the program before she leaves.

Sanjuan said she was inspired by former teammate Camille Chevalier, who set an example as a strong leader for the team as a senior last season. Sanjuan said when Chevalier graduated, it felt like someone was missing from the clubhouse, and she wants her teammates to feel the same way when she is done.

“I’m always there for my teammates, on and off the golf course, so I just want to keep supporting them and be a leader,” Sanjuan said. “I want to play really well this semester and be a great senior, so that’s why I’m working really hard.”

IU Coach Clint Wallman said Sanjuan’s goal of leaving a mark on the program shows how important it is to her and how dedicated she is to the team.

“Ana will be successful in whatever she does because you can teach people skills, but you can’t teach their values,” Wallman said.

“That was one of the things that we liked about Ana was she has good values, and you can do a lot with

During the fall season, Sanjuan took advantage of those opportunities. She had the lowest scoring average on the team through 11 rounds with a 72.73 and shot the three best individual rounds for the Hoosiers. She also finished in the top 10 in two of the team’s four fall tournaments.

Wallman said Sanjuan’s senior leadership off the course has made it easier for him as a coach to deal with the day-to-day business of the

team and her leadership on the course has set a good example for the younger players on the team.

“The best way for anyone on the team to affect the team result is to do their job, and that’s exactly what she does,” Wallman said. “She’s about the team first, but she understands that for the team to perform at a high level she has to take care of her business.”

Students write for their reproductive rights

By Jesse Naranjo jlnaranj@indiana.edu | @jesselnaranjo

Members of the Feminist Student Association wrote letters to state representatives Tuesday evening to urge them to deny passage of four bills that would limit reproductive rights in Indiana.

The event, Valentines to State Legislators, took place in Ballantine Hall and was part of a larger initiative by the Indiana Reproductive Justice Coalition, which is campaigning against House bills 1128 and 1134 and Senate bills 118, 404.

The Feminist Student Association’s General Action Committee chair, junior Morgan Bell, said picking one bill that is worse than the others is difficult, but S.B. 118 and S.B. 404 are especially concerning.

“Especially the extension to the 48-hour waiting period, which I think, shames women,” said Bell, referring to a provision in S.B. 118, which requires those who plan to abort a fetus to view and listen to an ultrasound days before the procedure.

According to the Indiana General Assembly website, S.B. 404 would require physicians performing abortions to inform the state about any procedures on women under age 16 and make any failure to do so an offense punishable by revocation of their physician’s license.

S.B. 118 would require women who were planning on aborting their fetus to listen to and view an ultrasound 48 hours prior to the procedure.

H.B. 1128 would require physicians to inform patients about to receive a chemical abortion, both in writing and

orally, that the procedure was reversible or could be halted.

H.B. 1134 would repeal the statutes permitting and regulating abortion in Indiana, defining “human life” as beginning when a sperm cell fertilizes an egg. This redefinition is for purposes of the criminal code, which could mean common-law consequences for an abortion.

The letters will be handdelivered by the IRJC to the state house in Indianapolis on

Feb. 14.

Senior Carmen Vernon, Feminist Student Association president, said the proposed laws, in entirety, pose threats to the reproductive rights of varying groups.

“It’s hard to pick one because they all target different populations,” Vernon said.

Bell and Vernon agreed action at a local level is more effective. The group had an initiative earlier in the semester where they wrote postcards to

the state’s senators, Sen. Todd Young, R-Indiana, and Sen. Joe Donnelly, D-Indiana.

The students spread the desks in the classroom into a circle to facilitate a more open conversation. They discussed last month’s Women’s March on Washington and its aftermath.

The march was not solely about reproductive rights, junior Margaret Hoffman, director of social affairs, said. If some pro-life groups thought

IU cadet lives out childhood dream

Karla Castillo said she remembers being little watching “Law and Order” and “Criminal Minds” with her dad. With family back in Mexico working in law enforcement, Castillo said she had always seen herself in a similar job.

Her family told her it would be one of those things she’d grow out of — just a phase. Now a senior at IU with only two semesters left to complete, Castillo is both an IU Police Department cadet and part of the National Guard.

Castillo is originally from Lansing, Illinois. She started her college career at IUNorthwest but transferred to IU-Bloomington last January.

“I just wanted to try something different,” Castillo said.

She put in her application for the IUPD cadet program after Capt. Greg Butler, director of public safety education for IUPD, came to speak to one of Castillo’s classes about it.

It took about a month for Castillo to hear back about a final interview with the department. At first she thought

she didn’t make the cut.

Now in her second semester of cadet training, Castillo said a large part of her experience so far has been tailored to campus security.

She has been stationed so far at Dunn’s Woods, Ballantine, the Hyper, as well as at football games, specifically to band and first aid areas.

While Castillo’s career in law enforcement has just started, she has served in the US military for four years.

“I left for boot camp literally the week after I graduated high school, like right after,” Castillo said.

According to Glamour magazine, a study conducted by University of Kansas researchers last fall identifies a largely male-oriented culture in military settings, despite the influx of female personnel. The author of the study, Alesha Doan, said it’s the military mindset that must be readjusted to reflect society’s recent strides in industry policy for women, in particular.

In both her law enforcement and military career paths, Castillo said she hasn’t encountered any discrimination or irregular treatment because of her gender.

Authority figures in both

they had been left out, there was nothing preventing them from attending.

Hoffman said telling women what do with their body was anti-woman, and the group agreed personal beliefs should not transfer to politics when it pertains to other people’s bodies.

The organizations advised participants to keep the letter brief, telling the state representative what actions should be taken and being

her cadet and military trainings have treated Castillo fairly, she said, just as they would any other individual.

However, she admits she has seen discriminatory types of behavior in a military setting before.

“When I went through boot camp, I’ve never experienced it but I’ve witnessed others, my peers, being sexist to others,” Castillo said. “I don’t think they mean to do harm, some just think women shouldn’t put themselves out there.”

Castillo said she thinks these differing viewpoints

probably come from the blend of different cultures, backgrounds and people being raised differently.

Once Castillo finishes the spring semester as a cadet, she will enroll in IUPD’s summer academy and take up a role as a part-time officer on the Bloomington campus next fall until her graduation in December.

Castillo said her goal is to one day work in federal law enforcement, specifically the FBI. For Castillo, the coming months are all about building up her résumé and finishing her prerequisites.

respectful, which Vernon emphasized during the opening presentation.

The group provided construction paper and stencils to help those in attendance think outside the box, but there was also plain letter paper in case students wanted to write traditional letters, Vernon said.

“I’m going to make a broken heart and talk about how heartbroken I am about these bills,” Hoffman said.

The presidents of all eight Ivy League Schools and leaders from another 40 colleges and universities signed a joint letter asking President Trump to rectify or rescind his executive order banning travel from certain countries.

The letter was originally drafted by Princeton University President Christopher Eisgruber and University of Pennsylvania President Amy Gutmann, according to a report by the Dartmouth student newspaper.

“If left in place, the order threatens both American higher education and the defining principles of our country,” according to the press release.

After Trump’s Jan. 27 executive order, which barred citizens of seven Muslimmajority countries from entering the United States,

various universities, including IU, and other colleges released statements.

The Association of American Universities, of which IU is a member, also released a joint statement Jan. 28 and said the order “threatens to disrupt the education and research of many others.”

Colleges and universities around the country are advocating for the end of the executive order or at least some modification.

“We write as presidents of leading American colleges and universities to urge you to rectify or rescind the recent executive order closing our country’s borders to immigrants and others from seven majority-Muslim countries and to refugees from throughout the world,” according to the press release.

Iranian student responds to travel ban

A version of a story that ran Monday indicated the IU Police Department was not investigating the unauthorized posters in Ballantine Hall. IUPD is investigating the origins of the flyer and seeking leads, and the FBI has been notified.

Also in a story that ran Monday, it was indicated that Pete Seat was working on new policies under the new Indiana Governor. The new policy changes Seat is working on are under the new Chairman of the Indiana Republican Party, Kyle Hupfer.

The Indiana Daily Student regrets these errors.

By Rachel Leffers rleffers@indiana.edu @rachelleffers

It has been 1,263 days since IU graduate student Masoud Kamalahmadi has been home to see his family and friends. Kamalahmadi said he was planning a trip home to Iran this summer to visit his family, most of whom he has not seen in three and a half years.

However, he will no longer be able to do so after President Trump’s executive order, which bans travel to and from Kamalahmadi’s home country. The order has been under debate since it’s implementation, currently questioned by a federal judge.

This ban will keep Kamalahmadi from visiting home this summer, there have been many obstacles keeping him from traveling to Iran in the past, he said.

Kamalahmadi said more often than not Iranian students receive a single entry visa, which means it expires as soon as they enter the United States. In order to travel out of the country, they are required to apply for another visa.

However, because there is no Iranian embassy in the U.S., individuals must travel to an embassy in another country to complete an interview, which is about five minutes long, he said.

The length of time students wait to receive their visa is arbitrary. Some students receive their visa soon after applying while others must wait two years, he said.

“Basically, when you go to the U.S., you assume you will not be back to Iran until you finish your study,” Kamalahmadi said.

Under some circumstances, student may be given a

multiple entry visa, which allows them to travel home and back for two years.

“If I go back and apply again I should get multiple entry,” Kamalahmadi said, “I mean, before the executive order. I will get zero entry now,” he said.

Kamalahmadi said he is working toward his Ph.D. in operations management in the Kelley School of Business.

He aspires to be a professor but said he is now uncertain of his career options in the U.S. “I don’t see any future potential changes for this problem that has happened because Iran and America have no diplomatic ties,” he said, “Iran responded by banning all Americans from entering Iran.”

Although Kamalahmadi said he knows there are not many Americans who want to travel to Iran, the response

from the Iranian government speaks volumes about future relations between the two countries.

Kamalahmadi said the travel ban has been difficult for him, but he knows there are people who have been more affected by it and cited individuals who have been separated from their spouses.

The amount of support Kamalahmadi has received since the travel ban has been phenomenal, he said.

The Iranian government will not be willing to give in to the United States’ demands with the academic names, Nobel Prize winners and CEOs of big companies who have spoken out against the executive order, he said “I think — I hope — that these types of objections will change the policy, but from the government perspective, I am not sure,” he said.

MCPL teaches science, math for kids

By Christine Fernando ctfernan@indiana.edu | @christinetfern

A child held a fish puppet as its shadow formed on the wall and swam past the shadow of a gingerbread man. Above them, the butterfly shadows cast by other children flew by.

The activity involved children making their own shadow puppets and playing with them on the wall as part of a weekly preschool science and math program Tuesday at the Monroe County Public Library. Other activities included light-painting with a flashlight, testing the opacity of objects under an overhead projector and matching shapes with their shadows.

Community engagement librarian Christina Jones said the shadow activity was a distinct learning opportunity for the children attending.

“It’s a simple activity, but the children are learning so much about the properties of light, the position of shadows and the way shadows move and change.” Jones said.

While parent Amber Dhanawade said her children had fun creating and playing with their own horse-shaped shadow puppets, it was the light-painting activity that stood out to her children most.

“They really love playing with flashlights in the dark,” Dhanawade said. “Even at home, they’re always turning the lights on and off. They’re pretty fascinated by it.”

Parent Randi Peach said these programs help build on the natural fascination and curiosity children have. These qualities are why she said she plans to bring her children to more MCPL events.

“They have this natural curiosity in them that really gets brought out in activities like this,” she said. “It helps their curiosity about the world grow.”

dition to building this natural curiosity, she wants her children to be exposed to math and science early on.

She said son, who will be going to school as a kindergartner soon, is particularly interested in math.

During this formative time in her child’s life, Dhanawade said she hopes he will continue to have fun with science and math, which she said are integral for future success.

“They come here and see how fun science and math can be,” she said. “Then they carry that with them as they go to school.”

Jones said this interest and understanding of math and science can allow for progress in other avenues of learning as well.

“While here, they’re

learning vocabulary as well,” she said. “They’re learning how to think through questions and make predictions.”

While the program can shape children’s lives, Jones said it is also an important opportunity for parents to learn and improve their own parenting skills.

The program also allows parents to meet one another and build a support network of parents, Jones said.

But most of all, Jones said the event teaches parents to engage in positive learning interactions with their children.

“We teach parents to engage with their children’s questions,” she said. “We also make the activities a bit too difficult for the kids on their

own. That way, the parents are forced to engage and help their kids while they learn together.”

Peach said events like this also help her find ideas for simple things she can try with her children at home.

By bringing these learning opportunities home, she said she hopes her child will become a lifelong learner.

“She learns so much, and she really loves to learn,” Peach said. “She always comes home excited to tell

her dad what she learned.

I hope she can keep that enthusiasm as she grows up.”

She said this program also helps children build connections between concepts in the larger world — a skill that is integral in becoming a lifelong learner.

“She’s like a sponge,” Peach said. “She takes in all this new information about the world and makes connections. She’s learning to question and seek answers and understand.”

A woman was arrested Saturday on a felony charge after she was found asleep in a recliner in the apartment of strangers.

Samantha Hooten, 21, is charged with residential entry.

Police responded just before 8 a.m. to a complaint of a burglary in progress on the 3200 block of East Braeside Drive, Bloomington Police Department Sgt. Pam Gladish said. When officers arrived, one of the roommates answered the door and pointed to a woman asleep in the recliner.

The front part of the apartment had been ransacked.

None of the roommates — two men and two women, with ages between 20 and 23 — knew the woman in the recliner. One roommate said she’d been the last person home the night before, at about 2 a.m.

Though they were sure the front door was locked, they told police the back sliding door might not have been.

Officers woke the woman, later identified as Hooten, who was groggy and confused, Gladish said. She told officers she didn’t know where she was, and later said she doesn’t know anyone who lives on the east side of town and wasn’t sure how she’d gotten there.

Though Hooten did not steal anything, Gladish said it appeared she’d started to gather items in the house before falling asleep, including household furnishings, video games and cash. She had rummaged through drawers and closets.

Police took Hooten to the hospital, Gladish said. Later in the day, they arrested her and took her to the Monroe County Correctional Center.

Community members discuss education legislation

By Alexa Chryssovergis aachryss@indiana.edu @achryssovergis

The forum began, predictably, with a Betsy DeVos joke.

Nearly 100 community members and public education advocates gathered Tuesday night to discuss bills to support and to be wary of during the 2017 legislative session.

Thoughts of DeVos, who was confirmed earlier that day by the Senate as President Trump’s education secretary, and her openly pro-school choice agenda seemed to settle heavily on many speakers who made references to the crisis state of the United States’ public education system.

The event, coordinated by MCCSC at its Education Resource Center, included panelists representing the school corporation, the Indiana legislature, the Indiana Coalition for Public Education, the Indiana School Boards Association, the Monroe County Education Association and the Indiana State Teachers Association.

DeVos’ confirmation was a blow to many in the public education advocacy community because of her support

of charter schools. A topic of contention in recent years, charter schools have been criticized by opponents for segregating on the basis of wealth and race and for not being held to the same standards of oversight as other publicly funded schools.

“Today we discovered that we’re in a national schoolchoice party,” said Cathy Fuentes-Rohwer, MCCSC school board member and chair of ICPE Monroe County.

Fuentes-Rohwer also harped on House Bill 1004, a pre-K grant expansion bill that passed through the Indiana House today, 61-34, according to the Indiana General Assembly website.

Democrats and Republicans alike agree that pre-K expansion in the state is necessary, but public school advocates have bristled over the addition of a private school voucher expansion to the bill.

The same bill in the Senate doesn’t include the voucher addition.

Rep. Matt Pierce, DBloomington, said Republicans put Democrats who want to expand the Pre-K grant but don’t support vouchers in a tough place with this addition.

“They’ve been expanding

it out, and they’ll keep doing it until pretty much anybody can have a voucher,” he said.

Panelists also discussed concerns over a bill that would replace the controversial ISTEP statewide test.

ISTEP had been criticized for not matching up to state education standards.

The commission is problematic because no Democrats were allowed to appoint individuals to it, Pierce said.

The House education committee met Tuesday to discuss the bill that would replace ISTEP with a new test called ILEARN. Rep. Ed Delaney, D-Indianapolis, was concerned with the likely two-year transition period between tests. Committee Chairman Rep. Robert Behning, R-Indianapolis, said for the next two years a test essentially the same as the current ISTEP would be distributed before the state could fully switch to new assessment. This prompted concern from Delaney that legislators would be misleading the public.

“Now it’s just purely a rebranding exercise,” Pierce said. “You cannot have a discussion about the test and what test is best unless you have a discussion about what

About 100 community members and advocates met Tuesday night to discuss education-related legislation for the current Indiana session. Panelists included representatives from Monroe County Community Schools Corporation, the Indiana legislature, the Indiana Coalition for Public Education, the Indiana State Board of Education, the Monroe County Education Association and the Indiana State Teachers Association.

the test is supposed to do.”

Panelists also spent time discussing bills they support this legislative session. Sandy Steele from ISTA applauded Senate Bill 409, which would shift the school collective bargaining timeline, which would be helpful to bargainers who need to know how many students they have before beginning the bargaining process. Terrence Mason, dean of the IU School of

Education, said he supports Senate Bill 240, which bolsters school counseling pilot programs.

Fuentes-Rohwer said the best thing community members can do to help save public education in the country is to call legislators, who aren’t used to such opposition.

Though DeVos was confirmed, an unprecedented amount of people rose up in opposition to her

appointment and pestered legislators with phone calls.

Fuentes-Rohwer also recommended that people make the drive to the Statehouse to give testimony on issues that resonate with them.

“We’re going to try to remind our legislators in the Statehouse that we care very much about public education,” Fuentes-Rohwer said.

“And that we’re watching them.”

DeVos confirmed as secretary of education in tiebreaker

By Melanie Metzman mmetzman@indiana.edu @melanie_metzman

Betsy DeVos confirmed as secretary of education Mike Pence cast a tiebreaking vote Tuesday to confirm Betsy Betsy DeVos DeVos as Secretary of Education. The 51-50 vote was Trump’s toughest confirmation battle thus far. Pence cast the first tie-breaking vote by a vice president since 2008, according to Fox News.

Senate Democrats debated through Monday night

and into Tuesday morning with Democratic senators taking shifts in the Senate arguing against DeVos in a final attempt to halt her confirmation, according to CNN. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and Sen. Susan Collins, RMaine, also supported the Democrats.

DeVos has been criticized for her lack of experience with public schools, support of school vouchers and her suggestion that schools in Wyoming should have guns on campus to protect from grizzly bears.

Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer tweeted his displeasure seconds after the confirmation. “Today @VP Mike Pence did something

no one else has ever done: cast the tie breaking vote on his own cabinet nominee.”

After the confirmation, DeVos tweeted, “I appreciate the Senate’s diligence & am honored to serve as @usedgov Secretary. Let’s improve options & outcomes for all US students.”

White House claims journalists poorly covered terror attacks The White House issued a list of 78 terror attacks Monday as examples of Trump’s statement from MacDill Air Force Base in Florida of what the press is not adequately covering.

“And in many cases, the very, very dishonest press

doesn’t want to report it.

They have their reasons, and you understand that,” Trump said.

Many journalists have publicly denounced Trump’s accusation.

“Not only did we cover many of the attacks on that list the White House has released, we covered them heavily. I know because I was there on the ground reporting a number of them,” CNN’s Anderson Cooper said Monday.

He then went on to show footage of himself reporting from Ottawa, Canada, in 2014, Paris in November 2015, San Bernardino, California, in 2015 and in Orlando, Florida, in June 2016,

according to CNN. Washington Post columnist David Ignatius said he found Trump’s comments “very troubling.”

“We have brave colleagues who everyday are taking big risks to cover these stories. Look at The New York Times, which the President demonizes often. The New York Times this weekend had an outstanding piece of reporting about how ISIS has been reaching out, is more involved in some attacks in Europe and abroad,” he said in an interview on CNN’s “The Lead” on Monday.

However, something notable about the White House’s list is it only mentions terror attacks that

appear to have been carried out with Islamist motives, according to Fox News. The list does not include the recent Mosque attack in Quebec City or the racially motivated attack on a church in South Carolina where nine black worshipers were shot dead.

Jeff Sessions moves forward in confirmation process Trump’s nominee for attorney general, Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Alabama, is now one step closer to an official confirmation.

The 52-47-1 vote was mainly along party lines.

The final vote to confirm Sessions is expected to occur Wednesday.

Americans typically turn to sports for entertainment, and we often expect our entertainment to provide us with an escape from reality. If you were hoping the 2017 Super Bowl would give you that escape, however, you were probably let down.

The state of our country’s politics is the kind of disaster that hurts to watch but nevertheless makes you feel that you cannot look away.

Unless you actually did look away from your television last night, you saw Coca Cola’s revival of a 2014 ad featuring a multilingual rendition of “America the Beautiful,” Budweiser’s narrative about its immigrant founder, and Airbnb’s declaration of multicultural acceptance.

Departing from attempts to use humor or sex to attract attention, these issuedriven ads turn cultural talking points into corporate selling points by aligning the companies that create them with views that seem popular among consumers.

Of course, many of the executives who decide to run these ads might agree with the message they deliver and feel the ads accurately represent the company’s values, but it’s suddenly become very popular to say that you love women and immigrants, and you have to wonder if some of this support is disingenuous.

For example, I enjoyed Audi’s portrait of a young girl who defies gender stereotypes and achieves her goal of winning a cart race.

I did not enjoy learning, as Forbes reports, that none of the six members of Audi’s executive team are women and that its board of directors is only 16 percent female compared to a 20-percent average among Fortune 500 companies, which by the way is also terrible.

However, if I had to choose an idea for the public to confront, I’d rather everyone be reminded of the reality of gender inequality than continue on in the commodification of female sexuality when yet another model in a bikini — or less — eats a Carl’s Jr. burger.

What I really want is a company that takes actions to match the supposedly socially aware commentary in its ads.

Enter Airbnb, which had a simple yet striking celebration of diversity matched by its commitment to provide temporary housing for people affected by Trump’s discriminatory immigration policy.

You might remember that Airbnb had trouble last fall with complaints about how its hosts treated people of color and since then it has instituted a feature that allows guests to book lodgings instantly without host approval to prevent discrimination based on the guests’ identities.

Now Airbnb has pledged to offer free and subsidized short-term housing to 100,000 “refugees, victims of natural disasters and aid workers” in the next five years and to donate $4 million to the International Rescue Committee in the next four years, according to the New York Times.

When Airbnb says it believes “no matter who you are, where you’re from, who you love or who you worship, we all belong,” I believe them.

Even if critics argue this ad bears significant resemblance to a previous one released in response to last year’s controversy, Airbnb’s reforms and promises demonstrate a level of commitment that sufficiently backs up the message its ad projects.

People will take just about anything good in this world and try to use it to turn a profit, and I’ve accepted that. It’s up to us, though, to make sure that the ideas in these ads become as mainstream as the ads themselves.

Legalize Sunday alcohol sales Indiana’s Statehouse should stop making Hoosiers wait until Monday to buy liquor “Maybe this year.” Much like fans of the Chicago Cubs chanted this hopeful phrase for decades, Hoosiers have been hoping for the legalization of Sunday liquor sales.

Like clockwork, this issue arises at the Statehouse, is debated and is defeated despite broad public support.

This year is no different.

A bill allowing Sunday carry-out liquor sales has been introduced, debate has been started, and the people of Indiana are waiting to see if this year is finally their year.

There are carry-out Sunday sales in 38 states, and adults 21 years old and older are trusted to make their

decisions six other days of the week.

The periodic showdown in Indianapolis features two major players, neither of which are actual consumers a Sunday sale bill would benefit.

On one side are the bigbox grocery stores and drug stores. Corporate sponsors of a Sunday sale bill in the past have been Kroger and Wal-Mart. Sunday is the second-busiest shopping day of the week, and stores like Kroger want Sunday sales so when people stock up on Ramen and pizza rolls they stock up on alcohol as well.

On the other side of the

fence are the package liquor stores, represented by the Indiana Beverage Alliance.

These small liquor stores, like Big Red Liquors, oppose Sunday sales. If people shop on Sunday but can’t buy alcohol, they will go out another day specifically for their liquor.

When people go out just to by alcohol, they will likely opt for a liquor store over a supermarket. This keeps people coming through the doors of Big Red instead of Kroger.

In the battle to secure Sunday sales, the package store lobby has been mostly successful. The 80-year ban

on carry-out Sunday sales in the state has been largely upheld, with an attempt to repeal the measure in 2015 failing after it was bogged down by expensive prohibitions for big-box store renovations and time-consuming regulatory requirements.

Existing loopholes in the law include permission for restaurants to serve alcohol in house on Sundays and for craft distilleries, wineries, and breweries to have carryout sales on Sundays. For instance, while Big Red and 21st Amendment are closed on Sunday, an Indiana resident could have his or her growler refilled at Upland

Brewing.

Left out of this debate is the benefit for consumers who will actually benefit from Sunday sales. It is beyond time for the statehouse to get out of the way and stop letting special interests dictate what Hoosiers can buy and when they can buy it.

Whether it’s college students making a run to the store before the Sunday game, a family dinner party going out for another bottle of wine or any of the other thousands of choices Hoosiers want to make every Sunday, it’s time to let them have their way.

COZY UP WITH KATIE

Skip the tanning bed to take better control of your health Punxsutawney Phil may have seen his shadow last week, but that isn’t stopping Mother Nature from giving Bloomington a little taste of spring weather for the last couple days.

Many things, such as rain, flowers, warmer weather and the tanning bed, come to mind when I think of spring. Tanning, however, is not something that healthy people should do.

Spring is a busy season for the tanning salons, which makes it a dangerous season for melanoma.

According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, melanoma is the most dangerous type of skin cancer and is most often caused by be-

ing out in the sun or using a tanning bed.

The Centers for Disease Control said there are other dangers to tanning including premature skin aging like age spots and wrinkles, changes in your skin texture, and it can also increase your risk of potentially blinding eye diseases if eye protection is not used properly.

There are alternatives to using a tanning bed.

For those who tan to darken their complexion, two good alternatives are to use tanning lotion or to get a spray tan. Both of these options give the illusion of a suntan while skipping the dangerous ultraviolet rays.

Ideally your skin would not be exposed to either of these

chemicals, but they are a better alternative for your skin than being exposed to harmful UV rays in a tanning bed.

For those that use the tanning bed to obtain vitamin D, eating healthy is a much safer way to do it. The best foods to help obtain vitamin D are sardines, salmon, mackerel, tuna, milk, caviar, eggs and mushrooms. There are also supplements and oils such as cod liver oil that are great alternatives.

Some people believe that having tan skin can give the illusion of a slimmer body and healthier skin, when it’s actually just the opposite. Tanning in the sunlight or in tanning bed rays

are both damaging to your skin’s health. So while it may look healthier, it might actually be more damaged than someone’s skin that is less exposed to the sun or uses proper skin protection.

Similar to the illusion of a slimmer body, some people also believe that tan skin can reduce the appearance of acne, stretch marks and scarring.

While it may reduce the look of these imperfections, there are much healthier ways to reduce the appearance of blemishes such as acne medication, scar cream and various lotions.

If someone is concerned about a blemish on their skin, they should seek advice from a dermatologist,

not a tanning salon.

I understand the desire to be tan. Unfortunately, that doesn’t change the fact that indoor tanning can be extremely dangerous.

It’s important that we encourage others to adopt these alternative tanning options and educate them of the dangers of indoor tanning so that we can reduce the number of people affected by skin cancer each year.

All forms of tanning pose various hazards, so skip the salon this spring and embrace the skin you were born with. kkmeier@umail.iu.edu

BRIAN’S CONSERVATIVE CORNER

The U.S. needs more moderation in political discussions Last Thursday the Washington Post published a column titled “Chill, America.

Not every Trump outrage is outrageous” by Tom Nichols, a professor at the Naval War College. In it Nichols calmly reasons his way through overreactions to President Trump’s first weeks in office.

He moderately explains executive orders, staffing arrangements and cabinet nominations without the hyperbole that has infected media on the left and right in 24-hour cable news cycle. For instance, Nichols explains that the hotly-debated immigration ban Trump ordered is not a ban on all Muslims as some Republicans and Democrats have said but that the ban is still not a step in the

right direction.

It was a breath of fresh air, and Nichols makes a necessary point for Republicans and Democrats alike.

Left-wing sensationalist media responses to the Trump presidency have been overwhelming. To these sensationalist groups, every action is the fall of the republic, every executive order a death knell for civil rights. On the opposite side, protests against Trump have been painted as whiney privileged gatherings or violent and raucous breakdowns of civil peace.

In the reality that lies between the two extremes of sensationalist news and our Facebook feed is a much saner United States that often

gets excluded from the conversation. Calm debate and reasonable disagreement do not produce the ratings that controversy does and politely stating your position on social media does not get retweets and shares.

Therefore, what the average American often sees is the worst of the worst on both sides of the aisle. We are shown the right-wing extremists spouting obvious falsehoods and left-wing social justice warriors crying at a position they disagree with slightly. Neither of these caricatures matches up with the reality and diversity of political opinions in this country.

The danger arrives when these images and models are the only ones presented, and

social media users start to believe these are the only options available. Like Nichols, when presented with news we disagree with, especially content presented in hyperbolic style, we should take a step back and check if the facts match up with the outrage the clickbait headline is intended to create.

Injecting moderation in the debate can only help the process. Understanding the facts, seeing what your opponents care about, realizing how they see the issue and finally coming to terms with what is actually at stake in the underlying debate make your argument stronger for both your allies and to those who disagree with you.

No matter the rhetoric,

WEEKLY WISDOM

JORDAN RIVER FORUM

Anti-facist groups incite violence Last week saw yet another violent protest — this time on the streets of Berkeley.

People who identified with Antifa, a controversial and sometimes violent self-proclaimed anti-fascist group, took to the streets, vandalizing businesses, beating people and even pepper spraying one woman as she gave a live interview.

In short, domestic terrorists successfully restricted free speech at the home of the free speech movement.

However, this is a problem that is unfortunately not restricted to one university.

Antifa is a nationwide political group that commits acts of terrorism, seeking to undermine free expression in this country.

Antifa and groups of a similar mindset deserve a much more robust police response.

Anyone who takes issue with this characterization of Antifa need only to scroll through any chapter of the group’s Twitter feed to see the explicit endorsement of violence against those whose ideas they dislike.

As the most recent offender, Berkeley’s chapter provides plenty of examples.

The group retweeted someone enthusiastically suggesting the speaker invited to campus cancel his talk, since “after today, its gonna be a war zone.” The group retweets many videos of people being assaulted by members, advertising their particular brand of terrorism.

All of this is indicative of a tremendous problem. Terrorists like those in Antifa are so certain they will not face justice that they are comfortable hijacking protests whenever their anarchist itch needs scratching and then showing off later on the internet.

Many people are confused as to why police don’t directly intervene during the early stages of violent protest.

A common chant of these fanatics is “Whose streets?

Our streets!”

Zack Chambers is a sophomore in business.

Unfortunately, they are correct.

Police need to take a much stronger stance against this nonsense. When a protest becomes a riot, police need to contain it and arrest all perpetrators. Bystanders and those who were there to exercise their right to protest must be given time to clear the area, after which the destruction must be stopped by any means necessary.

Tolerating this only further emboldens these groups to spill blood.

And beyond the police, this Antifa mindset springs out of a deeper malaise that has set in culturally. If last month’s cause célèbre on the merits of assaulting Nazis is any indication, it seems fewer and fewer adults are willing to make Voltaire’s famous distinction, “I disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”

Those on the right seem fearful of guilt by defense, a close cousin of guilt by association. If I defend someone’s rights, particularly of speech, the misuse of those rights is somehow prescribed to me.

Even more bleak than this is the phantom of hate speech created by the left, where words as diverse as the name of the current president to actual hate are deemed violence that must be repressed. Of course, defining deviation from political orthodoxy as violence is exactly the sort of mindset that spawns violent actors like Antifa, righteously fighting the specter of words that might hurt feelings.

Riots should not be reported as “protests,” as the news wants to do. If this madness is to end, we must demand our culture take a more robust stance against the violent Antifa rioting, recapturing the values Voltaire understood so deeply. zaochamb@umail.iu.edu

REYNOLDS WRAP UP

The U.S. should look to China for clean energy Beijing emits more carbon than any other city in the world, so when China announced that it will begin ramping up renewable energy spending, I was not surprised.

The actual amount it plans on spending, however, is shocking. China plans on investing 2.5 trillion Yen, or $365 billion, into renewable energy by the year 2020. This plan was implemented in 2016, and China has already doubled its solar energy production, which makes the country the No. 1 solar energy producer in the world.

This information was released as part of China’s 13th five-year energy plan for 2016-2020 period. At the end of the five-year period China hopes to add more than 110 gigawatts of capacity. To put this number in perspective, in 2015 the United States added more than 7 gigawatts of solar capacity. China aims to expand its solar capacity by an average of 22 gigawatts a year, or more than three times what the United States expanded its by in 2015.

While this comes as good news for the planet, this energy plan is not as impressive as it seems.

China has the largest population of any country, and because of this, solar only makes up one percent of the country’s total energy output, even though they rank as the largest solar energy producers in the world.

After doubling their solar capacity in 2016, China still stands as the No. 1 carbon emitter. Because of this, China has a lot of catchup work to do in terms of overall pollution.

Still, China’s efforts are commendable, and other countries, in particular, the U.S., should take note Donald Trump’s remarks on wanting to save coal in-

Zack Chambers is a sophomore in business.

dustry jobs are completely backwards when compared to China’s forward-looking energy plan, and while solar capacity is increasing in the U.S., there is no promise that this trend will continue.

Instead of trying to save an antiquated industry that destroys our environment, the U.S. should follow China in the quest to become leaders in renewable energy production. Not only is saving coal industry jobs misguided in terms of the environment, it is misguided in terms of helping the nation’s employment rate in general.

At the end of 2015, a report from the U.S. Department of Energy stated that the solar energy sector — just one of the multiple sectors in renewable energy — employed slightly fewer than 375,000 people compared to the roughly 187,000 employed in coal, gas and oil industry combined.

Imagine the employment rate growth if the U.S. launched an energy proposal even a fourth in size of China’s. Given that solar energy is only one of the many forms of renewable energy, the potential for U.S. employment numbers in renewable energy is skyrocketing.

I hope that in the coming months and years it becomes clear that renewables are the future for American energy, and coal, gas, and oil is the past. Investing in renewable energy will promote job, but most importantly it will save our planet.

I truly implore more countries, and the U.S. in particular, to follow China in focusing energy efforts on renewable sources. sareynol@umail.iu.edu

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Senators: Reject Trump’s Israel ambassador nominee Dear Senators Donnelly and Young, We write to you as proud American Jews, Indiana residents and pro-Israel college students. As strong advocates for Israel’s survival as a Jewish and democratic state and Palestinian human rights, we strongly support a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, along with a strong US-Israel relationship based on our shared values.

It is with these important goals and principles in mind that we urge you to vote against the confirmation of David Friedman, President Trump’s nominee to serve as US ambassador to Israel.

David Friedman is unequivocally unfit to serve in this sensitive and important position as a representative of our country. His extreme views, rhetoric and temperament make clear that he is deeply unqualified and would present a danger to US and Israeli interests, undermining the prospects for peace in a tumultuous

region.

Friedman is a prominent supporter of the settlement movement in the West Bank, leading an organization that has contributed millions of dollars to expanding and entrenching settlements that are designed to undermine the possibility of a two-state solution. Again and again, he has publicly criticized the two-state solution. Despite the fact that supporting two states is a longstanding bipartisan US policy, Friedman has viciously mocked and attacked those who support it, including the overwhelming majority of American Jews and senior US officials.

We are appalled by Friedman’s repugnant attacks on American Jews who share our support for a liberal democracy, diplomacy and peace. Friedman has called liberal Jews “worse than kapos,” referring to Jews during World War II who assisted the Nazi regime. He has even called liberal Jews, like us, “not real Jews.” This

rhetoric disrespects the legacy of the Holocaust, its millions of victims and its survivors. It reveals Friedman’s hateful and deeply divisive worldview, especially when he is attacking his own community.

Placing someone so undiplomatic in the important role of Ambassador to Israel could have devastating consequences for Israelis, Palestinians and Americans. It could trigger new crises and international incidents that could cost real lives on the ground. And it is guaranteed to undermine any US efforts to help Israel pursue and achieve peace.

As proud Indiana hoosiers, we hold in high esteem the fact that we have the highest per capita of people enlisted in the military. We highly value the sacrifice our military and their families give for this country and want to do the same for Israel — a place where everyone goes into the army. Inserting Friedman into the already volatile

Middle East could exacerbate conflicts, putting even more lives on the line.

As your constituents, we implore you, Senators, to oppose this nomination and to vote against Friedman’s appointment. Now is not the time to enable more hatred, ignorance and volatility, least of all in the Middle East. We need our leaders to uphold the mainstream, bipartisan policy of pragmatic US diplomatic leadership and support for a two-state solution that will secure Israel’s future and the feasibility of a future state of Palestine. We need to reject extreme positions and divisive words.

Friedman’s nomination must be rejected. We ask you to publicly stand up for American diplomacy, Israel’s future and basic decency and vote against this nominee.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Celebrate Black History Month at IU As part of Indiana University’s commitment to create environments in which all students, faculty and staff feel welcomed, the University is proud to honor the backgrounds and identities of the members of IU’s community through heritage month celebrations.

Through programming and other means of support, IU’s Office of the Vice President for Diversity, Equity, and Multicultural Affairs (OVPDEMA) endorses: Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month (April), LGBT Pride Month (June), Hispanic-Latino Heritage Month (September), LGBT History Month (October) and Native American Heritage Month (November).

And of course, February is Black History Month.

When it comes to the heritage months, I believe that as a community, IU should be curious about learning more about all cultures throughout the year — not just for a month at

a time. Observing the cultural centers and range of activities that take place on our campuses, it’s affirming to know that we have a history of inclusivity as an institution of higher education.

But it’s also important to celebrate these heritages, not only from a historical perspective, but also from a contemporary standpoint.

That’s why I’m so enthused about the theme for this year’s Black History Month celebration at IU Bloomington: “IU Black History Made Daily.”

The events taking place on the Bloomington campus are reflective of this theme, as there is a terrific blend of the past, present and even the future open to students, faculty, staff and members of the surrounding community.

Some of the activities taking place include: the always-popular African American Read-In, sponsored by the School of Education and OVPDEMA, Feb. 6, 11

a.m., at Grand Hall in the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center (NMBCC); screenings of “I Am Not Your Negro,” a highly anticipated documentary about the late author James Baldwin, at the IU Cinema Feb. 9, 7 p.m., and Feb. 10, 9:30 p.m.; and the Black Excellence Alumni Panel, a return to campus by black IU alumni to share their experiences with current students, Feb. 15, 5:30 p.m., in the NMBCC’s Bridgwaters Lounge.

These events are just a small sample of an extensive and varied selection of activities happening at IU Bloomington in February.

This is the first Black History Month celebration at IU for Monica Johnson, the Neal-Marshall’s director, and I’m incredibly pleased at what she and other campus partners have put together.

The focus on not just black history, but the contributions that IU students, faculty, staff and the Bloomington community as a whole can make moving

forward is such an inspiring perspective to take. And I don’t want people to feel as if they can’t participate simply because they aren’t regular visitors to the NealMarshall. All members of the IU community are always welcome to join in, so this is a great time to make a first visit or reintroduce yourself.

A comprehensive listing of Black History Month events throughout IU can be found at diversity.iu.edu.

The majority of these activities are open to all, so I truly encourage all members of the IU community, in addition to local residents, to participate in the activities that are available.

Remember, this month isn’t only about black history — it’s about the black experience today, something we should all feel like we can learn more about.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Hoosiers look to end 2-game losing streak

By Jake Thomer jjthomer@indiana.edu @jake_the_thomer

IU Coach Teri Moren said Wednesday night’s women’s basketball game at Rutgers can’t come fast enough.

After a potentially demoralizing blowout loss to Maryland on Sunday, Moren said she was eager to get her team’s mindset straight. She gave them the day off Monday and lightened the practice load, but at the same time expects her squad to come prepared for the 7 p.m. tip at the Rutgers Athletic Center.

“We’re really trying to make it easy for them right now,” Moren said. “We’re just trying to simplify it a little bit. They don’t have to play perfect, but their effort has to be perfect. Tomorrow night that will be the goal.”

Rutgers comes into the matchup with a 3-7 record in the Big Ten, while IU’s recent two-game slide has dropped the Hoosiers to a 5-5 conference mark.

Moren always stresses the need to treat each game as a one-game season, but with conference play more than halfway complete, both she and senior guard Karlee McBride acknowledged a bit of a sense of urgency.

Rutgers has had a difficult time locking in its starting lineup this season, as 10 different Scarlet Knights have started at

least three games thus far.

But, like IU, Rutgers leans on three players in particular for the brunt of its production.

Junior guards Shrita Parker and Kandiss Barber, along with sophomore guard Khadaizha Sanders, combine to play more than half the team’s total minutes and score more than half the team’s points per game. This trio will look to push the tempo and feed the physical players that patrol the paint for the Scarlet Knights.

“They’re definitely a very athletic team,” McBride said. “They’re fast and they’re quick. We’re going to have to get back in transition and stop the ball so they can’t get run-outs.”

The Scarlet Knights are last in the Big Ten in scoring at just 52 points per game and shoot less than 30 percent from 3-point range. Despite poor statistics, Rutgers boasts a win over Michigan State, whom

Junior forward Amanda Cahill goes for a steal against Maryland on Sunday in Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. Cahill led IU with 16 points and nine rebounds in the 92-56 loss.

IU lost to, and a loss to No. 3 Maryland by single digits, so Moren said her team needs to recognize the potential Rutgers has.

IU’s offense also enters Wednesday’s game in a funk, as the team has shot poorly in each of the last two games. The Hoosiers shot just 32.8 percent from the floor in the losses to

Michigan State and Maryland.

Junior forward Amanda Cahill has been the lone consistent performer in the past week for IU as the team’s leading scorer in both losses. The stretch upped her season scoring average to 15 points per game.

After watching film of

the Maryland game, Moren said her team made some fixable errors. In particular, she noted eight missed first-half layups that she thought affected IU’s mindset going into the second half. Playing just three short days after the mistake-filled game will help, Moren said.

The third-year coach said she is eager to see what the

Hoosiers bring Wednesday.

“All those things that we did that were not good, we can fix,” Moren said. “We can hit layups. But we just have to put Maryland behind us and move on. The thing that I’m most excited about is that we do have a really short turnaround.

We need to get back on the floor.”

GOTT TAKES

The 51st Super Bowl: Death, despair and the Atlanta Falcons We’re all going to die.

No matter the year or how we go out — getting hit by a train, fighting a lion, getting hit by two trains — it’s ultimately going to happen to all of us.

That optimistic and sanguine outlook on life brings us to the Atlanta Falcons. A team that led 21-3 at halftime in the Super Bowl and 28-9 at the end of the third quarter. Matt Ryan, Migos and the entire city of Atlanta were 15 minutes away from jubilation.

They lost.

34-28.

In overtime.

In the most painful way possible.

With 4 minutes and 40 seconds left in the game and the Falcons leading by eight, wide receiver and animatronic robot Julio Jones, specifically created with football in mind, made a spectacular toe-tapping catch at the 22-yard line to essentially clinch a victory for the Dirty Birds. Just run the ball three times and kick a field goal. Kick a field goal on first down for all I care.

An 11-point lead with minutes left is essentially the clincher. You won. Enjoy the confetti, Gatorade shower and trip to Disney World.

Instead, Atlanta went for the jugular by throwing the ball to cement a win and

wound up losing more than 20 yards on a sack and penalty.

Atlanta screwed up, as it has done on an almost yearly basis.

When you think of the worst sports cities, Cleveland used to be the crown jewel, but with the LeBron James resurgence and the Indians not being half-bad, it’s time to induct a new best of the worst.

The winner is Atlanta, and here’s my take, the hottest take of all, which also brings us back to the opening sentence of the column.

You don’t always have to root for the same team. It’s not worth it.

MEN’S TENNIS

Men’s tennis looking for seventh consecutive win

By Juan Alvarado jdalvara@umail.iu.edu | @jdsports14

After its narrow weekend victory against Princeton, IU now has six wins in a row and is still undefeated this season.

However, this Wednesday the Hoosiers will be matching up against an opponent that has gotten the best of them in past seasons.

In its fifth straight home matchup, a 6-0 IU squad will take on the 4-2 Louisville Cardinals.

This will be the last nonconference opponent the Hoosiers will face prior to their Big Ten opener Friday.

“We know Louisville well,” IU Coach Jeremy Wurtzman said. “They are in our region, and we did not play them last year, but we have seen them a lot, and we know they are a very competitive, greedy team.”

In 2015, the Hoosiers went on the road and were defeated 5-0 by the Cardinals in Louisville, Kentucky.

Senior Stefan Lugonjic was part of the IU roster then and lost at No. 6 singles. So far this season, he has been a common face at position two doubles alongside sophomore Antonio Cembellin.

In six matches played, the Hoosiers have not lost the doubles point once.

The point for doubles in each match is won by whichever team wins the most of

the three doubles matches, and IU has won either two of three or all three doubles battles in each of its matches this season. Lugonjic and Cembellin have only come short once in doubles play against Princeton.

Then-freshman Raheel Manji played in both doubles and singles against Louisville in 2015 and was only able to come out on top in his doubles match while dropping his singles match in straight sets.

Manji, now a junior, had a standout performance against the Tigers during the weekend and said the Hoosiers will not have it easy against the Cardinals.

However, playing Louisville at home does give IU an advantage.

“It is going to help, they are going to have to get used to our building which is tough,” Manji said. “Especially when we get the crowd out, and when the crowd is going, our team is really pumped up and energized for that. It is going to be very tough for them to step in and try to control us.”

Furthermore, Manji said the win against Princeton gave him and the team a lot of confidence for upcoming matchups this season.

The matchup against the Cardinals will be the last chance Wurtzman will get to fix things and adjust his lineup prior to IU’s Big Ten contest at No. 17 Illinois on

“It is going to help, they are going to have to get used to our building which is tough. Especially when we get the crowd out, and when the crowd is going, our team is really pumped up and energized for that. It is going to be very tough for them to step in and try to control us.”

Raheel Manji, junior tennis player

Friday.

“We will look at a few things,” Wurtzman said. “But we like what we are seeing from the guys, we might change a few things, but we will see when the match comes.”

The Hoosiers will be playing the Cardinals at 6 p.m.

Wednesday at the IU Tennis Center. This will be IU’s first mid-week match of the season and the first against an ACC opponent.

“Stay together, and we have done a great job of it,” Manji said of the keys to come out on top Wednesday. “But continue to stay together, continue to get hungry and being hungry. We have been staying calm under pressure, and we have come through like that, so I think this will be key against Louisville.”

Yes, you want to connect to your family and hometown on a greater spiritual basis.

Yes, the tradition of starting a season with a team with hope and confidence is exhilarating. Yes, it’s what you’ve done your entire life.

It’s not worth it.

The annual heartbreak, disgust and broken remotes isn’t worth the small semblance of a chance for success.

You have so much life ahead of you.

“Stranger Things” season two is coming out soon. Go read a newspaper. I’ve heard people enjoy running for elongated periods of time.

Do something else

besides donning a football jersey in sub-zero weather for a collection of individuals who don’t care how many times you chant their names.

You don’t need to live and die with your team, no matter the city.

And, if you’re going to stick with sports because you’re lost and broken, here’s some advice. Root for the Patriots, Warriors, Yankees, Kentucky basketball and Alabama football. At the very least, you can expect to win some big games and be relevant late into the season.

On Sunday night, Atlanta lost in a humiliating and mortifying way. If you are a

Greg Gottfriend is a senior in journalism.

die-hard Falcons fan, call it quits. Any victory in the future is not worth feeling that small.

We all have an expiration date, so don’t do something that’s going to cause more pain than happiness year after year. It’s borderline sadistic.

With that said, I definitively believe that next year is the year for the New York Jets. We’re unquestionably going to go 12-4 and win the Super Bowl. I’m all in. gigottfr@indiana.edu @gott31

Yogi Ferrell signs with the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks From IDS Reports

Former IU guard Yogi Ferrell signed a two-year contract with the Dallas Mavericks.

The contract is for the NBA league minimum.

Ferrell played for the Mavericks on a 10-day contract, and during that period of time, he averaged 17.2 points, five assists and

1.8 steals per game in five games. In those five games, the Mavericks were 4-1.

On Friday night, Ferrell tied a rookie record for 3-pointers made in a game with nine against the Portland Trailblazers.

Ferrell previously played this season with the Brooklyn Nets, where he appeared in 10 games and scored 5.4 points per game.

He was released by the Nets in December.

During his senior season, Ferrell led IU to a Big Ten championship and the Sweet Sixteen. He was also a Wooden Finalist, averaging 17.3 points and 5.6 assists per game. He holds the program record for assists.

IU graduate releases first young adult novel published author Samrat Upadhyay.

Fritz Breithaupt, professor of Germanic Studies as well as comparative literature and cognitive science, also had a great influence on her writing.

“I took a class on empathy with him, which was a very fascinating class,” Gonzalez said. “I worked with him for Intensive Freshman Seminar and got to know him very well. He’s from Germany, and he kind of helped spread my cultural net and how different cultures view things like empathy.”

She said she began writing her now-published novel the same year she graduated after receiving a grant from the Hutton Honors College, which she used to travel to Mexico for a summer trip.

She ended up staying for a full year.

“I started writing with no more of an idea than ‘teenage girl goes to Mexico, funny things happen,’” Gonzalez said. “I wrote the first draft of ‘Sketchy Tacos’ and started the process of editing it for two years, went to some conferences, learned that I knew absolutely nothing and started over.”

“Sketchy Tacos” follows protagonist Mila, a 17-yearold artist, through her travels in Mexico. Having just one Spanish class in her past, Mila assumes her knowledge is broad enough to sustain her in this new place, but she quickly finds there is a learning curve. Gonzalez said she wishes she could relate to her character’s visually artistic side, though she said she feels

Megan Gonzalez sold her first book for the sum of $5.

Gonzalez, a writer for as long as she can remember, sold the book to her uncle at age six, a book written in crayons, which started a chain of events that led her down a path full of literature.

“My family has a big part in that because we always read books,” Gonzalez said. “I was given books all through my childhood and absolutely loved the world of reading.”

“Sketchy Tacos,” Gonzalez’s young adult fiction book, became available Tuesday for purchase as an e-book for $3.99 through publisher Clean Reads. The novel is Gonzalez’s first published work.

“I have been reading young adult since I was 11 or 12, and it’s one of my favorite genres,” Gonzalez said. “It’s just got a lot of energy and I love the tone because it’s so bright and fun, a lot of times.

That’s absolutely what I wanted to do for this story, and I think it’s worked out great.”

Gonzalez graduated from IU in 2013 with a degree she created using the individualized major program. Her degree, writing, editing and publishing, included classes in journalism, English and cultural classes that were relevant to the type of writing she wanted to do later.

During her time at IU, Gonzalez said she worked closely with many creative writing professors, though for her thesis project she studied under professor and

“I went to Mexico and I didn’t always understand what was going on, it can be really difficult to just to go the bathroom,” Gonzalez said.

Young adult fiction provides young readers with a feeling of security that they are not alone, Gonzalez said.

Stewart said he doesn’t know if the president will keep his campaign promises, but Stewart hopes he will respect the needs of service members and their families.

Stewart is not sure the president will be able to handle foreign policy.

“He does not have the background to truly appreciate the gravity of a situation,” Stewart said. “He lacks

planning, and he does not know when a situation is too conflagrated and getting out of hand.”

Stewart said he wishes the president would focus military efforts on humanitarian issues.

He is concerned the president will focus on projecting strength and force. It is the humanitarian efforts that show our virtue as a nation, Stewart said.

“It’s just a shame that we now have a leader that doesn’t believe in public education,” Farmer said.

Farmer said he has not talked to his students about DeVos and voucher programs and does not know if other teachers have. But he said he believes it would be difficult for students to grasp the gravity of how this affects public education.

“It’s not about do you like charters, do you like vouchers, do you like public schools — this is much bigger than that,” he said.

Sen. Todd Young,

R-Indiana, voted in favor of DeVos’ confirmation. Young, who was reportedly a swing vote on the confirmation, received $48,600 in campaign contributions from the DeVos family. DeVos’ husband, who once lost a race to be governor of Michigan, and family own Amway, a company selling beauty, health and home products.

During her confirmation hearings, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont, asked DeVos if she thought she would have been appointed as secretary of education if her family had not donated

millions of dollars to Republican candidates. DeVos said she believed she would have.

Sen. Joe Donnelly, D-Indiana, voted against DeVos’s confirmation, with the 47 other Democrats in the Senate. Neither Donnelly’s nor Young’s offices were available for comment.

Because of scheduling conflicts in recent years, the tournament hasn’t been able to take place, but Wallman said he wanted to give the seniors an opportunity to play at home. hearing. “We therefore welcome the new U.S. Secretary of Education to the table as we ensure Indiana’s voice is heard at the federal level.

Our state, our students and our educators will be represented well.”

Gov. Eric Holcomb expressed similar support.

He called DeVos a dedicated champion of student achievement in a statement released Tuesday.

Fuentes-Rohwer said the fight for public education will be difficult, but the mobilization of the public against DeVos was a sign for

electrician since 1999, according to the release.

He has an associate of science degree in audio technology from IU. DeSante isn’t the theater’s only recent technical update. In October, it retooled its sound, light and cinema systems.

Sanjuan said she feels positive as her career comes to a close and she will feel good as long as she gives everything she has in her final season.

“I don’t know if I’m going to play well or not, but I know I’m going to give my best so I think that counts more,” Sanjuan said. “I’m very confident and positive because I know I’m not going to give up, and that’s what counts, and sometimes when you don’t give up, that’s when you play well.” resistance in the future.

“What we can do right now is to continue to keep the public engaged and hope that they will join us and feel angry enough to pay close attention, because this movement to privatize education has been a plan in action for a long time now and has been funded in large by Betsy DeVos,” she said.

For Farmer, the only thing the DeVos opposition can do is keep working.

“We have to work with it now, because whether you like it or not, she’s there,” he said.
