IU men’s tennis did not lose focus after coming up short in the doubles matchups against Louisville on Wednesday.

Although the Cardinals became the first team to beat the Hoosiers in doubles play this season, IU picked up the intensity in singles play to come back and keep its undefeated record alive.

In a matchup with several controversial calls that left IU Coach Jeremy Wurtzman upset, the Hoosiers beat the Cardinals, 4-1, at the IU Tennis Center for their seventh win in a row this season.

“The guys recovered their groove quickly and did a great job getting leads early on the sets,” Wurtzman said. “Early on the first set we were SEE TENNIS, PAGE 8

Council considers moving forward Educators and experts voice concerns about Betsy DeVos on annexation

The Bloomington Common Council said it was in favor of approving resolutions for each of the proposed seven districts for annexation at its meeting Wednesday.

The meeting was the the second in the series of meetings for the year for the annexation process.

Each of the seven areas that were proposed for annexation last Friday by Mayor John Hamilton were considered individually at Wednesday’s meeting.

The nearly 10,000 acres considered for annexation are on each side of city limits with some inside of current city limits. If adopted, the additional 15,000 people would bring the official population of Bloomington to roughly 100,000.

“These seven areas proposed for annexation have been considered for decades,” Philippa Guthrie, corporation counsel for the city, said.

Currently, the council is only considering the annexation areas under resolutions. Resolutions are legislative expressions of whether or not the council approves to consider something later. If the resolution passes, the council would be expressing its support for considering annexation.

Prior to considering whether or not to pass the resolutions at a later meeting, council members expressed their concerns about taxes, sewer, fire services and electricity to city executives regarding the seven proposed areas for annexation at their committee of the whole session Wednesday.

Jeffery Underwood, city controller, said tax levies would not decrease. Monroe County, however, will see a slight decrease in its $3 million annual budget, Eric

The nomination and subsequent controversial confirmation of Betsy DeVos as secretary of education has brought the future of education policy to the forefront of the the public’s eye.

Cathy Fuentes-Rohwer, a leader in the Indiana Coalition for Public Education-Monroe County, said the future of public education looks grim and said she also felt a special insult and injury when Vice President Mike Pence, a long time advocate for school choice in Indiana, delivered the historic and tie-breaking vote.

“She’s clearly someone who has no experience with public education,” Fuentes-Rohwer said. “It’s not a business, but to Betsy DeVos, it is.”

She said DeVos’ free market approach to education puts the “dollar before the child” and is no way to run public education. Rather, Fuentes-Rohwer said public education

Syrian-American shares her experiences

by Sarah Verschoor sverscho@iu.edu | @SarahVerschoor

The first time Katreen Boustani felt anti-Syrian sentiments was in kindergarten.

Her then-best friend approached her during class and said something that Boustani still remembers almost 15 years later.

“You should probably watch out for your dad because he might be a terrorist,” Boustani recalls the friend telling her.

Six years old at the time, Boustani said she felt hurt and confused and went home to tell her parents.

Boustani, now an IU sophomore, is the child of two Syrians. She was raised in Carmel, Indiana, but she has extended family still in Syria and some who came to the United States as refugees.

Recent political actions have not favored Syrian immigrants. President Trump’s executive order issued on Jan. 27 barred entry to the U.S. from seven Muslim-majority countries, including Syria indefinitely.

It also suspended the arrival and resettlement of Syrian refugees.

However, Trump’s travel ban has been a topic of national debate, especially since it was temporarily halted by a Seattle judge Feb. 3.

Boustani woke up the Friday Trump signed the executive order, turned her computer on and was listening to Morning Edition on NPR. When she heard about the

travel ban, she immediately called her mom.

“I was really devastated,” Boustani said. “I was so upset. She kinda reassured me that this was unconstitutional and just couldn’t stay. Luckily, things are moving forward with it. I’m happy with all the backlash it has gotten.”

However, she said she was especially disappointed with the ban on Syrian refugees.

“I’m lucky that the people that I am especially close to in my family are here and could get here basically in time,” Boustani said. “Thinking about what could have happened if they were too late is kind of terrifying. I feel for all the families who have to deal with that.”

Even with the travel ban directed at Syrians and the national attention on anti-immigrant sentiments, Boustani said she feels supported by the communities she’s a part of here at IU. Boustani, an informatics major, is a member of Theta Phi Alpha sorority and is pursuing a certificate in global human diversity.

IU freshman Lily Jervis has been Boustani’s friend since high school and said Trump’s election and all his supporters are scary to people who weren’t born in the U.S. or have parents who weren’t born there.

“In this political climate, it is really easy for immigrants or children of immigrants to feel like they don’t belong,” Jervis said. “Just treating someone with respect and being friends

with them and showing them that they’re loved is really important.”

Boustani’s father, Malaz Boustani, was reminded of this last week at a Starbucks in Indianapolis. Malaz, physician and scientist, accidentally grabbed another man’s coffee.

Malaz said the man replied something like, “Keep your dirty hands off my cup and go back to where you came from.”

But immediately after the incident, two other peo-

ple stepped in to support Malaz and told him to ignore the man.

Malaz said it was two amazing people providing support against one man’s remarks.

“That was the beauty about this country,” Malaz said.

When Malaz first heard about the ban, he was worried that Katreen and her younger brother would be treated like second class citizens. She said she took it personally at first but overreacted.

But, both Katreen and

Malaz said the travel ban has brought about more support for immigrants.

“I am fascinated by the number of, really, strangers who are stepping in on social media,” Malaz said. “Ironically, I saw more empathy and more support than over the past five years over the civil war in Syria.”

Katreen said it’s been nice to see the number of people who have no relation to the refugee crisis fighting back.

Katreen said she once thought she didn’t belong in

this country but said she has experienced so much support from everyone around her after Trump signed his executive order.

Even more so, Malaz said he sees the conflict over the travel ban as a way to grow as a nation.

“I am one hundred percent sure that this country is the best in the world,” Malaz said. “We will move past this challenge and convert it to an opportunity. We will be stronger because of these hiccups here and there.”

Mental illness is discussed at vigil Informatics case

By Larmie Sanyon| lsanyon@indiana.edu @LarmieSanyon

Visibility was low as a fog hung over Bloomington, but more than a hundred students weathered the cold and snow wind and came out to honor a fellow student.

Sophomore and member of the Sigma Pi fraternity Nicholas Smith committed suicide in January, and the greek community continues to mourn and remember him. Greeks gathered from the Jordan extension and walked to NealMarshall, where a vigil took place for Smith. Sigma Pi’s president, Nicholas Fattore, spoke first.

Fattore and Smith were in the same rush class and lived in the same dorms as freshman.

Fattore said everyone knew Smith had emotional baggage. However, he said he was still confused by Smith’s death.

“Til this day I don’t know

what he went through,” Fattore said.

Fattore said he never took time to understand what Smith was going through. Fattore said mental illness was something Smith and hundreds of students like him cannot simply get over.

“Let them know that we are there to listen to them,” Fattore said. “You can’t force someone to open up to you.

But you can keep trying.”

Junior Madeline Lasson, one of Smith’s friends and a member of the Phi Mu sorority, spoke next.

She described Smith as one of the most positive and genuine people she had ever met. Lasson said a hole was dug in the hearts of the community when Smith committed suicide.

“Nothing I say will take away the pain,” she said.

However, she did continue to emphasize the importance of identifying those with mental illnesses and making them comfortable with opening up.

er,” she said.

Scott Olofson, sophomore and Smith’s pledge brother, had much to say about Smith.

He reiterated the characterizations of Smith as an energetic, outgoing and always available young man.

Olofson said it’s important to learn from Smith’s death and establish pathways to help those with mental illnesses in the greek commu-

nity. One idea he suggested was a new philanthropy event.

He said the fraternity had thought about it and would want the proceeds to go to organizations geared toward tackling mental health illness.

Olofson said he does not want to see anyone like Smith commit suicide.

“We are hoping to have an open place where people can hangout and can talk,” he said.

Spanish counseling services available

By Hannah Boufford hbouffor@umail.iu.edu @hannahboufford

When she was growing up listening to Spanish soap operas in the background of her home, Patricia Gonzalez learned Spanish and English at the same time throughout her youth. Her bilingual background now allows her to be a counselor at the Center for Human Growth, a member of the Unidos team and a mental health consultant at La Casa Latino Cultural Center.

The CHG is a training clinic in the School of Education. The center works with master’s and doctoral students to become counselors.

The Unidos team, part of the CHG, is made up of doctoral students that speak Spanish and are interested in Latino mental health.

“We not only see university students, but we also take in members of the Bloomington community as well,” Gonzalez said.

Within the CHG, the Unidos team provides counseling services in Spanish and other community outreach programs.

The creation of the Unidos team was spearheaded by Dr. Ellen Vaughan, a clinical supervisor and licensed psychologist at the center who has background training in

providing Spanish language mental health services.

When Vaughan came to Bloomington, her interest in Latino mental health was strong, so reached out to the community in order to see where the need for Spanish speaking services was, she said.

“What I learned from that is there’s a small Spanishspeaking community here but that there’s not a lot of Spanish language services,” she said.

Vaughan’s interest in Latino mental health started while she grew up in a largely Latino community in New Mexico, where learning Spanish was part of the education curriculum and cultural heritage in the community was valued. Her interest in speaking Spanish and connecting with others in their native language continued as she grew up. She combined her knowledge of languages with an interest in psychology during college.

This eventually culminated in her desire to provide linguistic and cultural-specific services. She said if the roles were reversed and she were looking for mental health services she would want to try to find support in English, even if it was not the language of the country.

As a result, Vaughan said she felt having a program that

provided services with a background in understanding different cultures was necessary for everyone at IU to receive the help that they needed.

“Everybody needs mental health services that value who they are, that value their cultural background, that aim to understand that,” she said, “because that helps you work with that person and collaborate with them to reach their goals, whatever they are, in counseling.”

As a member of the Unidos team, part of Gonzalez’s job is to provide these kinds of services at La Casa. She is at the culture center from 6 to 8 p.m. on Thursdays.

These hours are not for counseling sessions; rather they are for walk-ins with students to talk about various problems and connect them to other resources.

“I just think that one of the things that I really appreciate about having the counseling services here at La Casa is that we’re really looking at students as a whole,” La Casa Director Lillian Casillas said.

“It’s really providing the support that we want to do to help students get the support the need.”

Gonzalez said the problems she helps students with at La Casa can deal with stress management, relationship problems, navigating

life as an IU Latino student and everything in between.

The language spoken during these counseling sessions vary. Some are completely in Spanish and others are all in English.

She also said once she had a session in Spanglish because some words in Spanish have their own meanings that do not translate to English with the same emotion behind them.

Gonzalez finds that the work she does at La Casa is worthwhile. Even if she doesn’t talk to students one on one, she finds that being a familiar face when it comes to mental health is helpful to students, she said.

Even if students don’t need help at the moment, they know that services are available if it becomes necessary, she said. The connections that she makes with the students at La Casa are beneficial for both parties.

“I’m not sure if they know this, but it means so much to me,” Gonzalez said. “Community is something that is very important to me as an individual, so coming in, still very much a newbie to IU and Bloomington itself, it just feels that I’m getting even more connected to this community here. It makes me feel that, yeah, the work we’re doing really is impactful.”

Students around campus are competing to identify the best way to locate a dean’s stolen laptop, which possesses secretive information. Using information systems, students will analyze the mock case and prepare a presentation on it Friday.

Every year the Masters of Science in Information Systems Association, or MSISA, has the 3+1 Case Competition, during which students from all majors and grades compete against one another to win cash prizes, scholarships, potential internships and jobs. The final presentation will be judged by executives from this year’s co-sponsors, Accenture and KPMG, and IU faculty and alumni.

“If you present well in front of these companies, it can lead to a job or internship if they see you can perform,” Ryan Santorsola, president of MSISA, said.

The competition offers both a cash prize from $1,000 for first place to $500 for third place and up to $3,000 in MSIS scholarships.

The name of the competition comes from the number of participants on each team: three undergraduate students and one MSIS graduate student.

The competition begins on a Monday with a case study workshop and ends on the following Friday with the final presentations.

“It does require quite a bit of effort from the students,” Prabhakar said, “It’s not something you can just get in the morning and finish by night.”

The competition is dis-

tinct because all majors and grades are welcome to participate and compete against one another, Prabhakar said.

Students who participate in the competition are not required to have experience dealing with information systems.

Prabhakar said there is a misconception about what information systems are and what individuals do with them.

“When people think about information systems, they think about fixing computers or programming,” he said.

Instead, working with information systems means individuals are using technology to collect, organize, store and communicate information.

This process transformed the business world by creating value for companies, Prabhakar said.

The inclusive nature of the competition allows for students to explore possible interests in information systems, he said.

Prabhakar said some students will not be interested after the competition, but those who are, discover the master’s program.

“I entered because I’m considering applying for the +Kelley program to get an MIS degree and wanted to see what it would be like,” IU sophomore Kevin Bhatt said.

For some students, like last year’s 3+1 Case Competition runner-up and current Vice President of MSISA, Armaan Shah, the validation of getting to finals and winning a MSIS scholarship, can help make decisions for their future endeavors.

“I had heard of the program before, but it was a kicker,” Shah said.

WALK OR BIKE TO CL ASS

While IU and Purdue battle it out every season on the gridiron for the Old Oaken Bucket, the two basketball teams have one of the best rivalries in college basketball.

The battles have been going on for 117 seasons, and the two teams renew their matchup Thursday at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.

“It’s not going to be for the faint-hearted,” IU Coach Tom Crean said in his weekly radio show on WHCC 105.1 FM. “This is not a game where if you don’t like contact, if you don’t want to put your body on the line, it’s going to be hard to put somebody into the game.”

One of the biggest storylines headed into Thursday’s matchup is the availability of IU junior guard James Blackmon Jr. He has missed the past three games with a knee injury, but Crean said Wednesday that he may be available for the battle with Purdue.

“We’re hopeful,” Crean said. “We’re definitely hopeful, no question.”

Purdue has the upper hand in the rivalry with IU. In the all-time head-to-head matchup, the Boilermakers have won 115 games while the Hoosiers have collected 89 wins.

The programs are equal when it comes to Big Ten championships. Both have won 22 regular season titles. IU has the edge when it comes to national championships because IU has five titles while Purdue has zero.

When Thursday’s matchup rolls around, Purdue will be ranked, and IU will not. The

Boilermakers have won five consecutive games in previous years when that’s been the case.

Sophomore forward Zach McRoberts grew up in Indiana and knows all about the historic rivalry.

“It’s huge, it’s been huge forever,” McRoberts said. “It’s a special opportunity to be in such a big game like this, IU-Purdue, obviously being from the state. It’s special for me.”

The two teams played each other once in the NCAA Tournament in the Sweet Sixteen in 1980. Purdue defeated IU in that matchup, 7669, in Lexington, Kentucky. They also played in the 1979 NIT Championship Game, and the Hoosiers defeated the Boilermakers, 53-52.

Purdue sophomore forward Caleb Swanigan has become a dominant force for the Boilermakers this season. He poses matchup problems for IU as he has notched 20 doubledoubles this season, which is already the third most by a Big Ten player in the past 20 years.

Last week Swanigan won his fifth Big Ten player of the week award after he went 16-of-30 from the field and made five of 10 3-pointers against Northwestern and Maryland.

“Swanigan is as playing as relentless and the pursuit of the ball defensively as anybody I’ve seen this year,” Crean said. “Obviously he’s an outstanding scorer. He’s become such a better shooter and passer.”

Purdue will test IU’s defense, which had one of its best games Sunday against Wisconsin.

“They’re playing at an extremely high level,” Crean said. “It’s going to be a great challenge for us. We’re excited to play.”

Richmond Hill bomber gets 50 more years

By Taylor Telford ttelford@indiana.edu | @ttelford1883

INDIANAPOLIS — He was already serving two life sentences, and the judge made it clear — he still deserved no leniency.

Mark Leonard, 47, was sentenced to another 50 years in prison today for conspiracy to commit murder. He is serving two life sentences without parole for his role in the Richmond Hill case, where he blew up his ex-girlfriend’s home in the Richmond Hill neighborhood in Indianapolis to collect $300,000 in insurance money to pay off gambling and credit card debt. The explosion he planned tore through the neighborhood, killing an elementary school teacher and her husband and damaging more than 80 homes on the southeast side of Indianapolis in 2012.

The sentence Wednesday came from Leonard’s effort to have one of his friends, who was a witness against him in the Richmond Hill case, killed while Leonard was in prison and awaiting trial in early March 2014.

To avoid the threat of his friend’s looming testimony, Leonard contacted a person he thought was a hit man and offered to compensate him with $15,000 for the murder, which Leonard wanted to look convincingly like a suicide.

Leonard drew a map to his friend’s house and gave intimate details about his habits and lifestyle. He wanted the hit man to be forced to confess, thus exonerating Leonard, or to be killed. He told the hit man to threaten the man’s family. He also offered the hit man an additional $5,000 if he called the police and discredit the witnesses.

As it turned out, the person Leonard thought was a hit man was actually an undercover agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Leonard was at ease in court Wednesday morning.

He ambled into the courtroom in a scarlet jumpsuit while clutching a manila envelope of case paperwork against his chest. He sat beside his legal counsel and whispered occasionally to ask questions.

The only time Leonard spoke at length to the judge was to complain about not getting to confront a witness who declined to testify in his trial and to request a copy of a document from his case file. As he wrestled the document into his thick manila envelope, his chains clanked against the desk.

While his public defender, Victoria Bailey, argued Leonard should be allowed to serve this new sentence concurrently with his other ones, Leonard stared at the desk and pressed his fingers together.

During the sentencing hearing, Judge Sheila Carlisle

focused on Leonard’s history with the law. Although Judge Carlisle had been involved with the Richmond Hill case since the beginning, she’d never been the one to sentence Leonard.

As the case that had plaugued her docket for more than three years seemed to draw to a close, Carlisle stared down the defendant.

She spent nearly 10 minutes reading off his criminal history — dozens of charges and convictions, which began when he was only 17 and punctuated his entire adult life.

1995. Battery. Disorderly conduct. Resisting law enforcement. Public intoxication.

1997. Possession.

2001. Operating vehicle while intoxicated. Domestic battery. Public intoxication again.

Judge Carlisle read off the charges in a monotone and glanced up from beneath her glasses at Leonard when she flipped the pages and kept reading.

2002. Stalking. Criminal mischief. Operating vehicle while intoxicated again.

2003. Fraud.

2004. Fraud again.

2007.

Strangulation.

Criminal confinement. Intimidation. Battery again.

The clock ticked onward and the charges and convictions kept coming. The further the judge read, the graver they became. She ended with the Richmond Hill case.

2012. Murder. Murder. Insurance fraud. More than 50 counts of arson.

Judge Carlisle shuffled the papers back into place, looked at Leonard and pointed out all the chances — dismissed charges, suspended sentences, probation, rehabilitation for substance abuse — he’d had to pull himself together.

None appeared to have remotely affected Leonard, Carlisle said.

“Despite all his experiences, the defendant repeated the same behavior,” Carlisle said. “His crimes were getting more serious and ultimately more violent.”

She said Leonard had been incarcerated when he’d tried to have his friend of 20 years killed and he’d used the information from their friendship to try to bring about his death.

“He has not expressed remorse for any of these offenses,” Carlisle said.

Nor did he, even now.

As Carlisle delivered his sentence, Leonard was unfazed. He only spoke once more, when Carlisle asked if he would like to appeal his sentence as he’d done with the other sentences stemming from the Richmond Hill case.

“Yes,” said Leonard, ensuring the case would drag on a little while longer before he walked out of the courtroom.

18-year-old woman reports rape by acquaintance From IDS reports

An 18-year-old woman reported Tuesday she was raped the previous weekend by an acquaintance.

The woman went to the Bloomington Police Department to report the rape, Lt. John Kovach said. The rape itself occurred at about 10:30 p.m. Sunday at an apartment on the east side of town, the victim told police.

The victim said she met the suspect, a 20-year-old man, about three weeks ago, and the two had gone out together several times.

On Sunday, the suspect invited her to his apartment, she told police. They smoked a small amount of marijuana.

While in his bedroom, he began taking off his clothes, Kovach said, and she tried to leave.

When she did, he grabbed

her legs and started to undress her, she said. He told her he wanted to give her a massage. She told him no and to let her go.

Eventually, she was able to get out of his grip and off the bed, but before she could leave the bedroom, he grabbed her again and raped her.

During the rape, he stopped and she was able to escape again and flee the apartment, Kovach said. She called a friend, who picked her up from the apartment.

Kovach said the apartment is not close to campus and is not in an area where IU students frequently live. The police report did not identify the victim or suspect as being a student.

Police have not yet located the suspect, Kovach said.

LIFEDesigns' Week of Chocolate is a festival involving a variety of events that benefit local nonprofit organizations, including LIFEDesigns. All events have a chocolate theme. LIFEDesigns is a nonprofit that serves seniors and people with disabilities in south-central Indiana.

“Our focus is making sure people have homes and have jobs in the community,” LIFEDesigns’ chief development officer Stephanie Shelton said.

According to LIFEDesigns’ website, the 2016 Week of Chocolate supported causes like mental illness, disability, poverty, homelessness and hunger at its fundraising events.

LIFEDesigns' services include community living, development of affordable housing, health care coordination, behavior support services, employment services and educational programs.

The Week of Choco-

late events began Feb. 3, and it will continue until Feb. 19. The festival has expanded since it first started, so the name is somewhat misleading, Shelton said.

“In the future, we may be renaming it to Weeks of Chocolate,” she said.

This year’s events have been successful so far, Shelton said. A Mardi Grasthemed art display at the Vault at Gallery Mortgage included art that will be featured at the upcoming “Art of Chocolate” event. A yoga class and bingo night offered chocolate, and a five-course meal at Truffles Restaurant included a chocolate inspired menu with wine pairings.

One of the upcoming events is “Art of Chocolate,” which will take place Friday in the Indiana Memorial Union. The event’s Facebook page described the Mardi Gras themed event as an “absolutely decadent evening.” It includes a dinner, cocktails, an online auction and music, and people are encouraged to wear masks.

The event will also feature the “Chocolate Painted People,” who are live models painted in chocolate.

This is the biggest event in the Week of Chocolate,

Shelton said. She has been planning the event for about a year.

“It’s totally new and different than anything we’ve done before,” she said.

One of the upcoming events is the Chocolate Prom, which is a dance for all ages that includes a chocolate fountain.

Week of Chocolate also includes a Valentine’s Day event called “The Rhythm of Love,” which features wine and chocolate tastings, art, music, and poetry.

“WonderLab After Dark: Chocolate!” will allow people 21 and older to learn the science behind chocolate, sample varieties of chocolate and enjoy local food, beer and wine.

The final event is a performance by local band Blue Hugh and the Quarry Dogs at Player’s Pub. These events give LIFEDesigns customers opportunities to become involved in the community, Shelton said.

For example, one of their customers will be a DJ at “Art of Chocolate.”

“Each one of these events is so much fun, and people come together and have these amazing experiences,” Shelton said.

ART OF CHOCOLATE Tickets $75-$500 5:30 p.m. Friday, Alumni Hall CHOCOLATE PROM Tickets $10-15 7 p.m. Saturday, Rhino’s Youth Center THE RHYTHM OF LOVE Tickets $10-15 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Bell Trace Senior Living Center WONDERLAB AFTER DARK: CHOCOLATE! Tickets $15-18 6 p.m. Feb. 18 WonderLab Museum, 21+ BLUE HUGH AND THE QUARRY DOGS Tickets Free 8 p.m. Feb. 18, Player’s Pub

Shelton said she wants these events to bring more awareness of people living with disability and what LIFEDesigns does.

“We want to inspire the culture shift that people with disability are not different than anyone else,” she said.

“They are just people. We want to give them the opportunity to live like anyone else.”

Trump tweets jab at Nordstrom

By Melanie Metzman mmetzman@indiana.edu @melanie_metzman

President Trump tweeted personal attacks from the @POTUS Twitter account, the White House press secretary cited a fake terror attack, and the Supreme Court nominee, Neil Gorsuch, called Trump’s comments against the judiciary “disheartening” and “demoralizing.” Here’s a rundown of what is happening under the Trump administration and why it matters.

White House press secretary cites fabricated terror attack White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer has cited an Atlanta terror attack committed by someone from overseas that never occurred three times this week. The last terror attack in the city, the Centennial Olympic Park bombing, was 21 years ago and was carried out by Eric Rupert Rudolph, a white man from Florida.

Spicer first cited the Atlanta terror attack in defense of Trump’s muslim ban on ABC’s “This Week,” according to CNN. “What do we say to the family who loses somebody over a terroristic (sic) — to whether it’s Atlanta or San Bernardino or the Boston bomber? Those people,

each of whom had gone out to a country and then come back,” Spicer said.

Spicer again mentioned the supposed Atlanta attack on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “There was a very short period of time in which we had something to execute that ensured that the people of the United States were safe. Everybody’s been protected,” Spicer said. “What happened if we didn’t act and somebody was killed? ...

Too many of these cases that have happened — whether you’re talking about San Bernardino, Atlanta, Boston --would you wait until you do? The answer is we act now to protect the future.”

Spencer alluded to the Atlanta attack at a White House press briefing Jan. 30.

When a reporter asked Spencer why some countries linked to terrorism aren’t on the travel ban list, Spencer said, “right, and we’re reviewing the entire process over this period of time to make sure that we do this right, but I don’t think you have to look any further than the families of the Boston Marathon, in Atlanta, in San Bernardino to ask if we can go further.”

Trump retweets jab at Nordstrom from @POTUS Trump tweeted a jab at Nordstrom on Wednesday after the company dropped

Ivanka Trump’s fashion line from their stores “based on performance,” according to CNN. He then retweeted his tweet from the @POTUS account.

“My daughter Ivanka has been treated so unfairly by @Nordstrom. She is a great person — always pushing me to do the right thing! Terrible!” Trump tweeted.

Press Secretary Sean Spicer defended the president’s use of the @POTUS handle to discuss his daughter’s business.

“This was less about his family’s business and an attack on his daughter,” Spicer said. “For someone to take out their concern with his policies on a family member of his is not acceptable and a president has every right as a father to stand up for them.”

Nordstrom responded Wednesday, according to CNN. “Over the past year, and particularly in the last half of 2016, sales of the brand have steadily declined to the point where it didn’t make good business sense for us to continue with the line for now,” the company said.

“We’ve had a great relationship with the Ivanka Trump team. We’ve had open conversations with them over the past year to share what we’ve seen and Ivanka was personally informed of our decision in early January.”

SCOTUS nominee calls Trump’s tweets about the judiciary “disheartening” Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Neil Gorsuch, told Sen. Richard Blumenthal, DConnecticut, that Trump’s tweets against the judiciary are “disheartening” and “demoralizing.”

“He said very specifically that they were demoralizing and disheartening, and he characterized them very specifically that way,” Blumenthal said of Gorsuch, according to MSNBC. “I said they were more than disheartening, and I said to him that he has an obligation to make his views clear to the American people, so they understand how abhorrent or unacceptable President Trump’s attacks on the judiciary are.”

Trump’s tweets could cause problems for Gorsuch in his upcoming confirmation hearings, according to CNN. Liberals are concerned about Gorsuch’s record and how he will maintain independence from Trump.

However, some believe Gorsuch’s statements regarding the Trump tweets will help him, according to CNN. Gorsuch told Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-New York, in a meeting Tuesday that an attack on his fellow judges is an attack on all. He also told Schumer judges are used to being criticized and are no one’s lackeys.

Police recover LSD, MDMA in drug bust From IDS reports

A Bloomington man arrested Tuesday on drugdealing charges had 35 pounds of marijuana and about 1,000 hits of LSD in his house, police said.

Garett Morley, 22, is charged with dealing in a Schedule I, II or III drug, dealing marijuana and possession of a controlled substance, all of which are

felonies.

Morley was the target of an investigation by the Bloomington Police Department in conjunction with the Drug Enforcement Administration, BPD Lt. John Kovach said. The agencies executed a search warrant at Morley’s house on the 900 block of West Sixth Street.

Morley was home during the search, Kovach

said, as was his 3-year-old daughter. He cooperated with police, who found more than $20,000 in cash; 35 sealed, one-pound bags of marijuana; 4.3 grams of the psychoactive drug MDMA, commonly known as ecstasy or Molly; and a Ziploc bag containing a foil wrap, which contained about 1,000 hits of LSD. They also seized other small contraband, such as

pipes and scales.

Morley told police he runs the entire drug operation and that all the drugs belong to him, Kovach said. He also said he supplies multiple people with marijuana.

He was arrested and taken to Monroe County Correctional Center, where he’s held on $10,000 bond.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 up on most courts, and then the doubles point became a non-factor. It was great how we responded.”

The Cardinals began the match in better shape than the Hoosiers. In doubles play, the visiting team was loud and boisterous when celebrating their points.

The strength of Louisville’s doubles play was hard for IU to overcome, and it fell short at position one by a final score of 6-3 and at position two by a score of 7-6.

The freshman duo composed of Bennett Crane and Zac Brodney at No. 3 doubles won its matchup, 6-3, but the damage had been done, and the win was not enough to secure the doubles point.

When the singles play came, the Hoosiers did not let the doubles loss keep them from capitalizing in their individual matches.

Senior Matthew McCoy, with consistency and patience, tied the match for IU at 1-1 after winning his match at position four in straight sets, 6-2, 6-0. Wurtzman said McCoy’s win restored confidence for the team, “Matt has been a big spot for us the last three years I have been here,” Wurtzman said. “It is great for him to play the way he did, have the energy that he had. I was on the other side of the Tennis Center, but I could hear him on my side, which is what we

“When has education been the lead story?” Hinnefeld said. “It never has been.”

Hinnefeld said he is concerned with DeVos’ lack of experience in leading a school corporation and her inability to compromise across party lines.

“Competence and effectiveness are really important for someone in that position,” Hinnefeld said. “She hasn’t shown she can reach across the aisle.”

An apparent lack of competence is a recurring theme for those who question her credentials, said Gerardo Gonzalez, the dean emeritus for the IU School of Education.

Gonzalez said the fact she was confirmed in a tie-breaking vote, which was caused by two Republicans who crossed party lines, shows how controversial she is as a secretary of education.

“That speaks to the con-

cerns of the general public, not just the Democrats,” Gonzalez said.

While he is the dean emeritus, Gonzalez is also a professor of education policy and said he is seeing a lot of these same concerns among his students. They are worried about what is going to become of public education, he said.

One of the major issues brought up during the hearings for DeVos has been the topic of school vouchers and school choice.

Hinnefeld said DeVos has indicated her support of choice programs while also attacking public school teachers, which is something he said will not endear her to the other side of the aisle.

“She has a responsibility to speak up for those who are educators,” Hinnefeld said.

“It’s not up to us to pick winners and losers in public and private.”

Advocates, like DeVos, for vouchers have pointed to the statistics for cities like Milwaukee where, according to United States census data, one third of the city is under the poverty line. Eighty-three

percent of the 78,000 students in Milwaukee are on free or reduced lunch in the public school system.

In 2013 and 2014 less than half of those students met academic expectations, according to the Wisconsin Department of Education.

Fuentes-Rohwer pointed to the fact that vouchers don’t solve the underlying poverty of the regions and they do not pay the full amount of tuition to these private and charter schools if students can make it past the waiting list, she said.

“Our kids shouldn’t have to win a lottery to get a high-quality education,” Fuentes-Rohwer said.

She said, while she has fears for the safety of public education after DeVos as attacked it during her hearing, Fuentes-Rohwer said she isn’t giving up.

Fuentes-Rohwer said at the very least, people understand in part why she is such a fierce advocate for public education over private.

“The beautiful thing about Betsy DeVos is I don’t feel like a crazy conspiracy theorist anymore,” she said.

“I was not sure how exactly we were going to respond after not losing any doubles points this season yet,” Wurtzman said. “But they proved me wrong and they did a great job.”

Monroe County will not see a decrease in its budget because of property taxes, Underwood said, because its levy will stay the same.

Services transferred as city responsibility would include law enforcement and road maintenance.

People annexed will not have to connect to city water if they already have septic systems, Underwood said.

A bill was proposed last month in the Indiana Senate last month that would require counties to accept or deny town annexations.

If passed, it would take effect June 30. The expected timeline of passing the annexation would end with the city council approving annexation by June 28.

Council member Stephen Volan asked why three of the seven districts considered for annexation were considered separate areas though they are ad-

Districts one and two, which surround the current west, south and some of the east sides, are currently part of separate fire districts.

Each will have a fire station built or upgraded.

The third section was considered to be an area with different interests from the areas next to it.

Currently, township fire departments are who respond to the annexation areas. Agreements between some of the districts and their fire departments is partially why the annexation, if passed, will not take affect until 2020.

Areas proposed for annexation were considered by the mayor’s office to be urbanized.

Council member Allison Chopra asked why certain area’s boundaries — namely on the east side of the current — were placed where they were. Guthrie said it was based on what areas were considered urbanized and not.

Guthrie said that issue and similar ordinances to enforce onto the annexation areas are being worked out.

More than eight miles of the I-69 expansion will run through two of the proposed annexation areas. Underwood said the “image of Bloomington and Monroe County people have in their mind” is worth preserving after the expansion.

“The whole idea is — whether people are coming to Bloomington or not — that they would be able to see Bloomington,” Underwood said.

It happens: Tinder leads to love

By Jamie Zega jzega@indiana.edu @Jzegss

Late December, 2014.

“Get on Tinder,” my friends said. “It’ll be fun,” they said.

I gave into the peer pressure, but only to be obnoxious and witty and be that girl who responds to “Hello sexy ;)” with “No, this is Jamie.”

And this is the story of how I met my boyfriend of two years on Tinder.

I had been Tindering for about a month. It was mostly just an activity I did out of boredom, but I enjoyed talking to new people. And who doesn’t enjoy occasionally being flattered? But that was all it was for.

I knew Tinder had a reputation as a “hook-up” app, but I figured if I was on there just looking to meet other people instead of to hook up other people had to be, too.

Throughout the first month, I only gave my number to one person and had a typical awkward meetup at the Indiana Memorial Union Starbucks when the Starbucks was, in fact, closed.

But one Saturday, all my friends were busy or out of town. And it was one of those days where I was so bored I

couldn’t even get out of my creaky bed in Forest Quad. So Tinder kept me occupied.

Generally, I didn’t judge by looks, but rather by the whole profile. So when I saw “David, 23,” holding a bowling ball next to a picture of President Obama also holding a bowling ball, I thought, “Hmm, bowling.” Context: I’ve bowled since I was eight years old.

“IU Bloomington — gender studies. I’m a bit of an introvert, so while I can start the conversation, I find it great when you do.”

Grammatically correct: check. No outward appearance of being a jerk or a serial killer: check. Swipe right?

Yeah, sure.

I got a message from this guy who was clearly a nerd.

But hey, so am I. Two hours and 58 minutes after the first message, I did the “ballsiest thing I’ve ever done in my life,” as I told him and asked him out.

Then I upped the ante and suggested we meet that night.

Mother Bear’s Pizza at 8:30.

So, we met. David awkwardly shuffled in. He tripped on something and made a self-deprecating joke. I added that self-deprecating humor was my specialty, so I knew this was a good pairing.

Our waitress sat us in the very back booth overlooking Third Street and Jordan Avenue. I was ready for pizza and good conversation.

The conversation was not as I had hoped.

This David was an awkward dude in person. He seemed to be a lot more interesting over text.

The waitress would come over every now and then to check in on us.

I wonder if she can tell this is a terrible date, I thought.

That’d actually be a great story idea — interview waitresses around Bloomington and see if they’ve seen a spike in terrible first dates since Tinder became popular.

That’s what happens when you date a journalist. We come up with story ideas over dinner.

But then I heard a firetruck. It wailed down Third Street and turned onto Jordan Avenue. I panicked. I nearly left to go see what was happening. It was my journalistic duty, after all.

Somehow, David convinced me to stay put. While headlines of “Jacobs School of Music burns down; IDS would have had this sooner but the employee closest to the incident was too scared to go check it out” flashed

through my head, he calmed me down.

The music school did not burn down. And that was not the last time David pulled me out of a panic.

Less than a week later, I went to his apartment. We watched “Gilmore Girls” because, well, that’s what I live for. I mean, my bio literally said, “Gilmore Girls is the gospel.”

He asked for permission to kiss me because he understands consent.

He didn’t know it, but I had pepper spray from one of my floor mates in my pocket.

Just in case.

That night went fine, nothing creepy. He drove me back to my dorm and we decided we definitely had something going.

We weren’t boyfriend and girlfriend then, though. I had my own defense mechanisms, as well as shame for meeting and so quickly becoming attached to someone from the internet.

That was Feb. 6, 2015.

This weekend, we celebrated our second anniversary.

When an entire staff meeting full of IDS editors suggested I write this column about my Tinder success story, I didn’t balk. My only

hesitation was that my mother didn’t know I had met my boyfriend on Tinder. She still doesn’t, but maybe by the time you read this, I’ll have told her. Sorry, Mom. Lying to my mom is one thing. She didn’t know this guy. Hell, I wasn’t 100 percent trusting of him and his motives until a year ago. Once I realized that he probably wouldn’t have introduced me to his parents or asked me to spend time with his brother if he had planned to hurt me in some way, I lightened up.

But we did, indeed, meet via a dating app.

Now, there’s no way that I

can vouch for every creature on Tinder. Note the use of “creature” — some of the individuals you’ll meet via the internet are hardly men. But if you go on Tinder just out of boredom and to talk to new people, it can actually be a pretty positive experience.

David, 23, now 25, makes me happy. And that’s all that really matters. And though we had mutual friends in the real world, I likely wouldn’t have met him if not for the virtual dating world.

I still have a little shame in saying this, but I in no way regret it: I’m Jamie, and I met my boyfriend on Tinder.

Kinsey provides online dating tips

By Anne Halliwell ahalliwe@indiana.edu @Anne_Halliwell

Online dating is a fact of life for many young people, but the science behind right swipes isn’t so obvious.

Weekend spoke to two Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction experts about the long history of dating service stigma, their tips for successful profiles and the future of dating apps.

Justin Garcia of the Kinsey

Institute works as a scientific adviser for match.com’s annual Singles in America study.

App usage is not the study’s focus, but sister sites like OkCupid and Tinder are included in the match.com roundup, Garcia said.

In many parts of the world, relatives are very involved in the dating search and even arrange marriages for younger singles. The social networking aspects of many dating services mimics that involvement,

Garcia said.

“There are patterns that have been part of human society for hundreds of years, and that’s using social networks to vet partners,” he said. “What the websites, I think, do is carry on a very ancient tradition of helping people find partners.”

In the seven years since the SIA study began, the internet has surpassed every other method of finding dates, from setups through friends to casual meetings at bars or church, Garcia said.

In its 2017 release, SIA found that 40 percent of “actively courting singles” met their most recent first date through an app like Tinder or Bumble, while only 24 percent met through friends. Fewer than six percent had met their dates at bars.

Amanda Gesselman works with the same SIA data in the Kinsey Institute and focuses on technology use and how it influences relationships.

She said while established

websites like match.com and eHarmony don’t carry much of a stigma anymore, apps — especially ones that are associated with hook-ups instead of romance — still do.

However, Gesselman said she thinks stigma against dating services was present before the internet became involved in dating.

“Being a single adult is something that’s been stigmatized forever, probably,” she said. “It’s been something that’s perceived as different or abnormal.”

People who were set up by relatives in decades past have been stigmatized in their search for a partner, Gesselman said, as were those who posted classified ads.

“I can just say that as things become more normal, stigma declines,” she said.

Although there are many ways to use online dating services, some general rules of thumb apply to most modern sites and apps.

EDITORIAL BOARD

The privilege of escaping politics In the current political climate, it seems to be harder and harder to escape from political issues everywhere you look.

For example, many columns in our paper deal with political issues, mine included.

Another example is the recent politicized advertisements during the Super Bowl this past Sunday.

These politicized commercials were quick to generate complaints from viewers that they couldn’t even escape politics for one night to enjoy a sporting event.

This idea of escapism from political issues is an inherent expression of privilege.

Many of the political issues we are facing deal with issues affecting people’s lives.

The political advertisements in question, such as Budweiser and 84 Lumber both dealt with issues of immigration.

The lives and experiences of immigrants are extremely difficult and more nuanced than most of us could ever imagine.

Many of them are in need of help, demonstrating the necessity of reform of the whole broken system.Immigrants are not able to escape this reality they face every day. The advertisements portraying life for immigrants that generated complaints from Super Bowl viewers are an everyday reality for immigrants and their families.

This is something that they face everyday, so there is no such things as escape for immigrants from the realities of our perpetually flawed immigration system. It is not fair that we should be allowed to escape from issues that those less privileged cannot.

Regardless, these advertisements certainly force people to think about the issue.

It’s important that corporations take a stand against injustices because they hold a large power over the people.

Making people uncomfortable and forcing these issues into their minds is

EMMA GETZ is a freshman in history.

the first step to getting people to actually do something.

It raises awareness, because otherwise, those privileged enough will continue to willingly escape the current political reality.

We should not be able to shut out and ignore the suffering of other people.

There are actually many things we can do to contribute to these problems that seem to be bigger than us.

Perhaps the simplest solution is contacting our senators and representatives.

All it takes is an email or phone call, and it can help change an opinion or vote of a local congress member.

There are also many different organizations to donate money to.

For instance , many people are donating to the American Civil Liberties Union for their ability to block the recent immigration ban.

The New York Post reports that the ACLU received record breaking contributions of about $24 million since the order has been signed.

That being said, it isn’t necessary for all of us to devote all of our time to political activism.

It is absolutely acceptable to consume nonpolitical media and enjoy ourselves .

The point is, there doesn’t have to be a switch that we turn off and on. The political universe and our personal universe are not two completely separate bubbles.

It is possible to enjoy a football game while taking note of our flawed immigration system at the same time.

We are allowed to enjoy whatever we want, but taking advantage of our own privilege and ignoring the suffering of the world around us is no longer an option.

Indiana should bet on casino Opening a new casino in Terre Haute offers promise for the state Western Indiana’s economy may be in for an interesting change.

Currently Indiana legislators are considering a bill allowing a casino to open in Terre Haute, Indiana. This would be a great boon for the state.

This can seem a bit strange because there’s already a casino open in Evansville, Indiana, and most Hoosiers who want to gamble aren’t deterred by a two-hour drive.

However, on further investigation it becomes clear that this casino isn’t intended to target people in Indiana.

As Alex Stoylar, vice president of Full House Resorts, the parent company of the porposed builder of this casino points out, it would be situated to draw wagers from Eastern Illinois.

Since the area is so close to the border of Illinois, residents from that state could choose to patronize this casino, bringing their tax dollars into Indiana.

Indiana has substantial regulations on gambling, but recent legislation has been back and forth on the issue.

A new Indiana casino isn’t an original idea. For a while in 2015 lawmakers were con-

sidering the possibility of another casino in Indianapolis, but the proposal gained little traction and was ultimately scrapped. On the other hand, a bill passed in 2015 allowed riverboats to move onto land.

Since a casino isn’t in the cards for Indianapolis, the owners of Rising Star Casino in southeast Indiana seized this opportunity by pushing for a second location in Terre Haute.

This is convenient because rather than needing a new gambling license, this same company can just open another branch and avoid the complicated legal process needed to start a new casino.

These regulations are in place to protect people from the dangers of gambling addiction and protect the area from illegal activity like drugs and prostitution.

So when it comes to opening a new casino these concerns need to be considered; however in this case they’re negligible in comparison to the economic benefits.

Gambling is legal so we’re already dealing with these issues.

In contrast to these small risks, the benefits to a casino in western Indiana are

enormous.

While Hoosiers would obviously be patrons, the bigger draw would be Illinois residents.

This would draw money from Illinois into Terre Haute similarly to how Chicago draws from northwestern Indiana.

However, Stolyar has expressed his concerns that if Indiana doesn’t build a casino in this area, Illinois will.

In particular there’s the potential for a casino in Danville, Illinois. This would have the opposite affect of building the casino in Terra Haute.

Instead of tax dollars flowing into Indiana, Indiana residents would likely choose to go to Illinois, taking their money out of our state.

If a casino were to open in eastern Illinois, we’d have the same problem with addiction, only money would be flowing out of our economy.

On the whole this is a great opportunity for Terre Haute and western Indiana to receive an economic boost with minimal consequence.

The result is a safe bet for Indiana’s economy. One that our legislature would be smart to make. The upsides are obvious.

MULLING IT OVER WITH MERM

THOUGHTS FOR THURSDAY

Twitter improves harassment policies

More than a “so-called” judge

Twitter has announced they are working to crack down on abuse from users on their interface. This is very necessary for the future of the platform.

Vice President of Engineering Ed Ho wants to promote freedom of expression while protecting Twitter’s users from abuse. BBC reports he said “harassment and violence stifles” any form of expression .

This protection includes preventing previously suspended users from making new accounts , a safer search option and an expansion of the mute option.

My personal experience with Twitter is not without bizarre cyberbullying from accounts who have no connection to me at all. I have also had the great honor of having to rapidly close out of the app when NSFW material appears on my timeline while I’m in public.

Not everyone handles that stuff very well, though. Twitter has already worked on making timelines more appropriate and safe for work and public spaces , yet many posts get

through.

You are allowed to turn on a filter that warns you before clicking on a picture that it may not be suitable for public viewing. However, this filter covers most of my pictures I post online, even if its nothing.

This is now being extended to tweets in general.

I am a fan of this option because I would rather not see pornographic descriptions of a user’s sex life.

On a more serious note, this will be beneficial to people who might be disturbed by being reminded of traumatic events. While this is great and I want to believe Twitter is genuinely trying to crack down on abusive users and trolls, it seems there are larger stakes pointed toward Twitter as a company.

USA Today reports that this is in response to companies turning away from Twitter because of how much abuse and cyberbullying is allowed on the platform.

It makes sense that companies would run away from this, especially when Walt

MIRANDA GARBACIAK is a junior in creative writing

Disney Co. is one of the potential bidders. A company that is largely targeted toward children should not invest in or buy a platform that is infested with trolls, alt-right users and NSFW content.

Twitter should not be surprised that it has generated such a negative label for itself.

Back in 2012, Dick Costolo, an executive at Twitter, labeled Twitter as the “free speech wing for the free speech party.” The idea of promoting free speech is fantastic in an ideal world. The sad fact is we live in a world where people take free speech too far and use it to be hateful.

I think cracking down on abuse on Twitter is a great idea. Some people are actually ignorant enough to not know when they are being a bigot or hateful, so maybe having their tweets reported or having their account suspended will tell them, “Hey buddy, maybe you shouldn’t be racist online or at all.” mmgarbac@umail.iu.edu

The separation of powers is the cornerstone of our republic. A young John Adams wrote at the time of the founding, “The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with the power to endanger the public liberty.” For this reason, the wise men who wrote our Constitution gave us three branches of government with a system of checks and balances.

One of these branches is the independent judiciary.

While conservatives should agree the judiciary should rule with a great deal of deference to the democratically elected branches of government and give particular latitude to state and local governments, the federal judiciary exists to defend the rights of minorities against the majority in a democratic government.

The idea behind this is that all individuals have rights that cannot be voted away from them by the will of the majority.

This sacred responsibility of the courts should be taken seriously by all

Americans and particularly by those in elected office.

When a federal judge in Seattle struck down President Trump’s executive order banning entrance into the United States from seven predominantly Muslim countries, Trump wasted no time taking to social media to express his frustration.

He referred to the judge who had issued the ruling as a “so called judge.”

This district judge, James Robart, has served with honor on the federal bench since he was appointed by President George W. Bush, and was unanimously confirmed by the Senate.

He is not a “so-called” judge — he is a judge who has not only the authority but also the responsibility to strike down torder from any president he finds to be unconstitutional.

Trump went a step further when he later tweeted, “Just cannot believe a judge would put our country in such peril. If something happens blame him and court system. People pouring in. Bad!” It is not the re-

JUSTIN SEXTON is a sophomore in economics.

sponsibility of the judge to decide if the president’s executive action was wise or in the national security interests of the U.S. He simply ruled that the executive action was illegal.

The president has the responsibility to keep the citizenry safe from terror attacks, but he also has the responsibility to do it legally, and within the confines of the constitution.

By attacking the independent judiciary, Trump is undermining the entire constitutional process. He is creating resentment for the federal bench among his numerous and loyal supporters. After this case has made its way through our court system, the president must respect the outcome.

The because the preservation of an independent judiciary is more important than any policy disagreements that divide society today. jusexton@iu.edu

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

IU blows past Rutgers in third for road win

By Jake Thomer jjthomer@indiana.edu @jake_the_thomer

For two consecutive road wins the IU women’s basketball team has used a second-half surge to pick up much-needed wins.

At Wisconsin last Sunday, IU needed a 21-3 fourth quarter run to pull away and secure the victory. When Rutgers had an early lead against IU on Wednesday, it became apparent the Hoosiers would need a performance similar to the one they delivered last week if they hoped to get above .500 in conference play.

IU made its run a bit earlier Wednesday by using a 19-10 third quarter advantage to get out in front of Rutgers and pull away to finish with a 63-52 win at the Rutgers Athletic Center to move to 6-5 in the Big Ten. Assistant coach Janese Banks said Rutgers presented matchup challenges across the board for IU with strong and fast players at nearly every position.

She blamed the poor start on the Hoosiers being thrown out of rhythm early.

“They are so athletic,” Banks said on the postgame radio show on WHCC 105.1 FM. “I mean, this is the most athletic team from player personnel that we’ve played all season. I mean they can run, jump and fly around.”

Rutgers entered the game with the Big Ten’s lowestscoring offense at just 52 points per game. They equaled that total against IU and shot 43.3 percent from the floor.

Banks said the coaching staff was disappointed with IU’s defensive performance against Maryland on Sunday, when the Hoosiers allowed 92 points.

The 52 points allowed to Rutgers on Wednesday were the fewest points IU has allowed in a Big Ten game this season.

“We were very disappointed in our defensive effort after that Maryland game, and we kind of called them out about it,” Banks said. “But I thought our girls,

The Hoosiers shot less than 40 percent from the floor in the first half and were just three of nine from 3-point range.

IU track runners take home Big Ten Athlete of the Week From IDS Reports

IU junior Daniel Kuhn and sophomore Katherine Receveur both earned Big Ten Track Athlete of the Week awards, the conference announced Wednesday.

The duo each took home their second weekly honors of the season for their performances at the Meyo Invitational in South Bend, Indiana, this past weekend.

Both athletes have broken a number of school records

this season.

This is Kuhn’s sixth time winning the award in his career at IU. At the Meyo Invitational, he broke the school record in the 800-meter run with a time of 1:46.42. The time was

good enough to set the best mark in the NCAA this season. He also has the school record in the 600-meter run and the third-fastest time in the country this season in that race.

During the weekend,

Receveur set a new school record in the 3,000-meter run and also participated in the school record-setting run in the distance medley relay. Her 3,000-meter time is the fastest in the NCAA this season by almost three

seconds.

The IU track and field teams will return to competition this weekend at the Hoosier Hills Invitational in Bloomington.

As quickly as IU Coach Tom Allen brought the husky position to Bloomington in 2016, he filled it with freshman Marcelino Ball.

The safety-linebacker hybrid exploded from the pack that was the class of 2016, immediately cemented his name in the starting spot of the 4-2-5 defense and finished the season third on the roster in tackles with 75.

But for the class of 2017, there’s a new Ball, Allen said, and he goes by the name of Fitzgerald.

“If I think of the class, the guy that sticks out to me that is similar is Bryant Fitzgerald,” Allen said. “He’s a football player.”

Fitzgerald, at 6 feet tall, 200 pounds, was recruited as an athlete for his ability to play on both sides of the ball.

He was recruited by IU linebackers coach William Inge, but Allen said on National Signing Day that he will start at safety — just like Ball.

As a defensive back at Avon High School in Avon, Indiana, Fitzgerald recorded

at least 100 tackles in both his junior and senior years.

On the offensive side, the IU signee rushed for 1,401 yards and 20 touchdowns in his final two years of high school.

The Avon graduate committed to the Hoosiers after his junior season on Jan. 23, 2016.

With the movement within the IU coaching staff — former head coach Kevin Wilson resigning and other position coaches coming and going — Allen said he knew his staff had better check in with Fitzgerald.

“I told our coaches, he committed to us early, we’ve got to hang on to this guy,” Allen said. “He’s going to get a lot of attention.”

He did get a lot of attention from Wisconsin, Michigan State and Western Michigan.

Ultimately, the Indiana native chose to stick to his commitment and play for the Hoosiers.

He never even visited another school after his early 2016 commitment.

The recruiting process for Ball was quite different. In fact, Fitzgerald committed to IU before Ball did Feb. 3, and

“I told our coaches, he committed to us early, we’ve got to hang on to this guy. He’s going to get a lot of attention.”

Tom Allen, IU football coach

according to 247Sports’ composite rating, Fitzgerald is the stronger recruit.

Fitzgerald will still be coming into Bloomington in hopes of producing the way Ball did in the 2016 season.

“He has the same qualities that Marcelino had, that similar mindset,” Allen said.

Even with the same qualities in the recruiting stages, Fitzgerald will likely be a different player come spring practices in early March like Ball was last March, Allen said. Players change when college ball starts.

“We like Marcelino,” Allen said. “When he showed up to camp in June, I knew the kid was very, very focused.

Would I have said that standing in front of you on Signing Day? No. We were excited about him, for sure, but I don’t think I ever knew he was going to be that good.”

BCT tech head talks new job

By Sanya Ali siali@indiana.edu | @siali13

When did you get your start in theater?

Actually, mostly when I came down to IU. That was back in ‘98, ‘99 when I came into town. I came down to IU to do the audio program through the Jacobs School of Music. I found out about that when I was at IUPUI taking a media and computers course.

I heard about the program and I said, ‘OK, I get to combine two of my loves.’ I have a passion for music and I’m a geek, I can admit to that.

While I was there, since a lot of the audio program classes are at the corner of the music school and we spent a lot of time at the Musical Arts Center, I joined the electrical crew there and kind of started my theater career.

When did you start working with the previous technical directors?

EJ Ernesberger, who is now the department head of lighting over at the IU Auditorium, he was the original technical director here. Jacob Lish, whom I just replaced, is now over at the MAC as the master electrician or something of that nature. He was here for almost nine years, EJ was here when the place opened as the Buskirk-Chumley. This building is actually 95 years old. We had our first gala that’s a part of the five-year plan to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the building in 2022.

What responsibilities fall under your role of technical director?

Pretty much any technical aspect of the theater, once

you get past the door and get into the theater proper — the sound system, the lighting system, the stage itself, the flyrail over there, speaking with the different clients we have coming in and determining what they need. There are a lot of different chores to do, and a lot of theaters larger than this actually have more of a full staff of other people helping out and hitting different departments. Here it’s a one man show, but I do hire help on numerous occasions.

doesn’t look like there are that many people here, but we can seat 629 people. Having that connection as an artist, being able to be that close to the audience and see them there — not just because it’s the community theater, a lot of our audience is repeat people who will come back for multiple different shows throughout the year.

What stands out to you about the Buskirk-Chumley Theater?

To continue to increase my knowledge of the entertainment industry, the technical aspect of it as well as the artistry of it. I’ve had a lot of exposure to all aspects. I grew up and am schooled in audio engineering and, by working here and the MAC, I’ve had to increase my knowledge of, for example, the lighting system.

Our patrons, the community that comes here that supports it. I’ve seen numerous patrons as well as artists performing — there’s a nice, intimate feel to this theater.

HELLO FROM THE OTHER SIDE

Italian street artists offer new perspectives to passersby When I was younger I used to always wonder if we look at an object and all see the same thing. I would ask myself, “If we’re looking at an apple, do we see the same curves and shades of vibrant red?”

I’ve come to find in Florence that while we may see the same general image, it’s perspective that can be extremely different from person to person.

When one is strolling through any large city, they will see street art depicting monuments. In New York City, you’re sure to find the Statue of Liberty on a canvas. In Florence there are two main images — the Ponto Vecchio Bridge and the Florence Cathedral — any visitor will find on post cards and easels.

I saw numerous watercolor and oil paintings of these well-known spots by street artists along the side of the Museo Galileo, one of Florence’s most famous art museums. I had seen these monuments in person several times before, but somehow no two images of the same bridge or cathedral looked the same.

I found myself especially amazed by this fact when I came upon an artist with at least 20 different paintings of the Ponto Vecchio Bridge, none of which looked

whites are the most pessimistic group in America that struggles with poverty. While he hold his people accountable for their perpetuation of the hillbilly culture, he argues they aren’t entirely to blame because being born into such a culture is ultimately not their fault.

Since the release of the memoir, the book has been used to generate discussions about the current political climate. There are definitely parallels between Vance’s work and the 2016 election.

Vance demonstrates the fact that the white working class thinks the media, politicians and the government cannot be trusted to tell society the truth. He encounters firsthand the people who believe they have no prospects due to a “rigged” system.

Obviously, there are those like Vance who are able to rise up from their situation. There are even those who are able to do so in worse circumstances.

Although Vance doesn’t offer concrete solutions to the problems those in poverty face, he does bring these them awareness and calls on hillbillies to “wake up.”

“Hillbilly Elegy” is relevant and moving. It paints a vivid picture of the troubling implications of poverty. Vance tells his story in a matter-of-fact tone and incorporates statistics and relevant information to back up his commentary on the white working class.

Hopefully, books like this can lead to conversations about solutions for poverty in America. In a political landscape many Americans currently find troubling, any hope is welcome. kchrisco@ius.edu

identical to another.

One captured a dark and rainy day in Florence with a black and white ink drawing of the bridge, a spot of orange in the right hand corner showing the Florence Cathedral and how its beauty is apparent even on the dullest of days.

Another painting showed the same Florence Cathedral, but not in its entirety. Instead, it showed the Duomo’s round top peaking out at the end of a long and winding street.

It took me back to the view that takes my breath away each time I turn a corner and happen to see the cathedral.

And beyond showing different perspectives of Florence, the artist played with wild colors to emphasizes its nearly magical beauty, which can make you feel far away from reality.

He used shockingly bright blues and greens with neon yellow and highlighter orange in a way that somehow made sense.

While the Ponto Vecchio Bridge is naturally shades of cream, red and brown, the use of unoriginal colors brought a new look to a bridge far older than me and connected a historical past of

Florence to the modern day city.

It is interesting how the street artists all seem to work on their own creations outside of a famous art museum, perhaps working near the greats to become the greats.

Yet as I wandered around glancing at the street art, I began to wonder what even constitutes when a piece of art is a masterpiece.

Many might think paintings of big monuments in

touristy cities are tacky, but to me it’s a way to grasp the city’s greatness from the people who know it best and have looked at it from every angle.

Best of all, unlike the 15 minutes you’re allowed in front of a roped-off painting, the canvas that offers an expert’s perspective on the city can be taken home with you forever. apoudrie@umail.iu.edu

Rap collective to play Indy event

By Sierra Vandervort

This week, I am looking at another book that deals, among other things, with complicated family relationships. For my first nonfiction read of the semester, I chose the memoir “Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis.”

The memoir outlines the life of J.D. Vance, who grew up in the rustbelt town of Middletown, Ohio. After a teenage pregnancy scandal, his grandparents moved there from rural Kentucky.

Moving away from their roots, Vance’s grandparents create better lives for themselves than their parents.

While they struggle to adhere to some of the norms of their new lives, ultimately, they settle down and help raise Vance after his relationship with his mother becomes complicated due to her drug addiction and abusive behavior.

Despite the odds being stacked against him, from poverty to the culture in which he was raised, Vance is able to create a path for himself toward upward mobility. After four years in Iraq with the marines, Vance graduates from Ohio State University and later Yale Law School.

Vance attributes his success to his grandparents, as well as the time he spent in the marines. He knows he barely made it out of a toxic cultural environment and the advantages he did have allowed him to do so.

Although “Hillbilly Elegy” is a compelling memoir, it is also a cultural criticism of the white working class in America. Vance, a conservative, does not believe the government can end the cycle of poverty, drug abuse and violence that plagues hillbilly societies.

In the memoir, Vance cites that working class

Since it performed at Indianapolis venue the Hi-Fi’s Skydive event in 2014, the group has been working to build a reputation for itself.

Musical Family Tree’s event coordinator Seth Johnson featured members of the New Wave Collective in a feature for Indianapolis alt-weekly Nuvo back in 2015.

“I have been drawn to New Wave Collective since I first heard them, honestly,” Johnson said. “There’s something about those guys that just seems organic and real. They are masters on the mic but also tend to pair their lyrical work with engaging beats.”

Despite opening its premiere brick-and-mortar ven-

ue space in Fountain Square early last month, logistical issues with the space required the rest of Musical Family Tree’s February shows to be moved to alternative spaces.

Most of its shows throughout the month will take palce at the nearby Fountain Square Brewery with additional shows at Square Cat Vinyl and State Street Pub. “We are so very thankful for the support the local music community has given us in dealing with the changes,” Johnson said. “Fountain Square Brewery is a sponsor of Musical Family Tree, and they have truly been lifesavers throughout the process of moving shows to new venues.”

The idea of artist collec-

From Ghost Gun Summer and Strong Roots to Ultra and New Wave, by banding together to create and express themselves, artists can inspire and challenge each other.

“I think they typically are beneficial in that they help all members of the collective come up together, which in turn helps with gaining notoriety,” Johnson said.

This weekend, take your valentine on a pre-holiday movie date.

From “Fifty Shades” to “LEGO,” this box office has something for every couple.

“The LEGO Batman Movie” Your favorite part of “The LEGO Movie” is back in another PG action-comedy. Bruce Wayne learns to open up in the sequel — no easy task for the brooding billionaire. When the Joker unleashes a horde of Dlist bad guys, Batman will have to team up with his neglected orphan ward, police officer Barbara Gordon and a slew of DC heroes to save the day.

“Fifty Shades Darker” Snuggle in, lovebirds, because the second time’s the charm. The first “Fifty Shades” movie was widely denounced by an audience looking for more passion and titillation.

The sequel promises more fantasy and intrigue than the original.

If nothing else, the soundtrack sounds pretty promising.

Once a week, Jesse Pasternack reviews a film made before 1980. He hopes to expose readers to classics they might not normally watch.

W | PASTERNACK ON THE PAST Jesse Pasternack reviews films made before 1980 to expose readers to classics they might not normally watch.

A timeless delight

“John Wick: Chapter 2” This sequel to the 2014 action flick follows Keanu Reeves’ gun-toting hero as he shoots, stabs and punches his way through large crowds of people. Trailers have been light on specifics, but Reeves has already proven he can carry this franchise on his bulletproof-suited shoulders.

We’re rooting for you this time, Fido!

“A United Kingdom” Based on the real-life romance of a British office worker and the future king of Botswana, “A United Kingdom” garnered rave reviews.

Set during South African apartheid, the marriage between a white woman and black man created waves at an international level. But the real focus is and should be on the love between Seretse Khama and Ruth Williams.

MOVIE STILLS DATABASE

“Sabrina” is a light romantic comedy with surprising depth. Although it was made in 1954, excellent performances and sparkling dialogue make for a timeless viewing experience. It is one of the most enjoyable films that Billy Wilder, one of my favorite directors, has ever made.

This classic rom-com is about a chauffeur’s daughter named Sabrina, played

by Audrey Hepburn. She’s in love with David Larrabee (William Holden), the ultrawealthy playboy son of her father’s employer. David finally takes an interest in her after she returns from Paris, but this ends up threatening one of his business ventures.

It’s up to his workaholic brother, Linus, played by Humphrey Bogart, to stop their affair, which eventually causes him to fall in love with Sabrina.

The most surprising

quality about this film is its initial sadness. Sabrina’s unrequited love for David can be painful to watch. The filmmakers take her depression in a direction that most contemporary commercial filmmakers wouldn’t dare try to replicate.

This initial theme of sadness serves several functions. It makes us sympathize with Sabrina more because of the longing she feels. It builds a foundation of yearning in its first 18 minutes that anchors the later, lighter portions of the film.

In addition, these opening sequences give Hepburn the chance to show her range. She isn’t afraid to bring out the darker side of Sabrina’s unrequited love for David. Her evolution into a charming, happier person is all the more vivid after beginning in such a dark place.

Hepburn gives my favor-

ite of her performances in “Sabrina.” She is endlessly charming and expertly delivers every line. She begins the film in darkness, but she also provides it a lot of its later light.

The supporting performances are also impressive.

Holden is the right combination of charm and oblivious arrogance as David. John Williams is endearing as Sabrina’s father.

The weirdest casting choice is that of Bogart as Linus. Bogart starred in a lot of gangster films and cynical films noir. In fact, he only got this part when Cary Grant dropped out, but his usual seriousness combined with a surprising comedic timing end up making him an unexpectedly good fit for the role.

“Sabrina” has a lot of witty dialogue. Even the most minor of characters has a funny line or two. Wilder also packs the frame with

great sight gags, such as shots of Linus demonstrating the strength of a miracle plastic.

Wilder made a lot of great films in the 1950s. Some of them still pack a potent cynical punch, such as “Sunset Boulevard” and “Ace in the Hole.” Others can bring a big smile to your face, such as “Sabrina” and “Some Like it Hot.” Most of them are brilliant dissertations on the challenges and pleasures of opening yourself up to new people or experiences.

“Sabrina” is an enjoyable movie. The beginning is surprisingly dark, but the remainder of the movie is all sweetness and light. For viewers willing to take a trip into the past this weekend, it will be a good Valentine’s Day watch.

‘Diet’ hard to swallow ‘SANTA CLARITA DIET’

its undead protagonist to focus on mundane things like relationships, work and finding ways to mask her supernatural nature and...

Wait. That sounds familiar. “iZombie,” “Being Human,” “Angel” and even “Teen Wolf” have all taken the friendly neighborhood monster trope and told that story better than this.

Because it’s told in halfhour increments, “Santa Clarita Diet” doesn’t waste time setting up characters or plot points. The audience is thrown into a TV-land residential neighborhood, populated with trite characters and their simplistic goals, and those characters respond to their increasingly bizarre circumstances with surprise or confusion depending on whether anyone has actually died.

This is a fine problem to have for the first episode or three. The shock value of watching Barrymore stuff raw meat of various origins into her mouth holds up for a solid 45 minutes, at least.

However, outside some especially creative dismemberments, “Santa Clarita Diet” isn’t all that engaging.

As Sheila, an uppermiddle-class realtor with a comfortable marriage and teenage daughter, Barrymore is a disappointment.

Part of this isn’t her fault.

The writers’ attempts to modernize zombie mythology means that for most of the show, Sheila has the impulse control of a toddler

Drew Barrymore

CIf you thought projectile vomit was the best part of “Pitch Perfect,” Netflix’s “Santa Clarita Diet” is the show for you.

Drew Barrymore’s new suburban “mombie” show passes up most of what makes zombies interesting in favor of cheap, literal gags.

The beauty of streaming sites is their ability to have shows with limited appeal instead of catering to as wide an audience as possible. It’s unfortunate the creators of this zombie comedy chose to base their audience on people who are willing to accept endless low-level gross-outs as entertainment.

As in grittier zombie fare, like “The Walking Dead” or “28 Days Later,” there’s a lot of oozing and dripping of bodily fluids.

Unlike both of those shows, there is no real terror attached to any of it — this show has chosen to swap moral quandaries for a series of contrived situational conflicts.

Part of the problem with “Santa Clarita Diet” is the concept isn’t as original as the show’s creators clearly thought. The premise is good — the show modernizes the monster by forcing

in a Target toy section.

She also displays the emotional range of a toddler. “Santa Clarita Diet” erases almost all of the complicated moral issues its characters might face within one or two episodes of their introduction.

For a show in which one character literally has to kill to survive, there are remarkably few emotional consequences.

Sheila’s family never appears to be in real danger from her, which would have been an easy way to introduce tension and give Barrymore an emotion to portray outside of “angry,” “hungry” or “enthusiastic.”

In fact, only one character seems to appreciate all of the problems introduced into the family along with Sheila’s zombie virus, and that person is her longsuffering husband, Joel, played by Timothy Olyphant. If there’s a reason to keep watching beyond epi-

Olyphant gives good fluster. He’s a bright point in this moribund show and clings to his marriage and family as the rest of his priorities are forcibly reordered. He carries almost all of the drama, comedy and actual plot in “Santa Clarita Diet.” Every episode sees Joel creeping a little closer to a breaking point as Sheila embraces her zombified lack of impulse control.

“Santa Clarita Diet” will hopefully begin fleshing out its characters more as the series continues. It will certainly have to invest in more complex, emotional plot arcs in order to keep viewers invested.

“A good way to think about it is like natural speech, and in natural speech, you often ask a question to engage,” he said. “It also shows you’re interested in the person, that you’ve read the profile and looked at the pictures.”

Garcia also said messages to potential partners should be brief.

“Keep it short,” he said.

“Keep it under five sentences. Don’t send paragraphs.

That’s good, data-driven advice.”

Gesselman is studying emoji use in profiles and messages, the use of which is positively correlated with going on more dates and having more sex.

Emojis are a tech-savvy way to communicate with potential partners that work as a social proxy for the facial and verbal cues users would normally get from a face-toface conversation, she said.

“People who use emojis more often have a higher level of emotional intelligence, and they’re also more likely to be social and agreeable,” Gesselman said.

Because humor, intelligence and individuality are all helpful qualities to convey in a profile, Gesselman suggested users add emojis that “convey your warmth, your ability to laugh at yourself — some part of your personality that would attract the kind of person you’re looking for.”

be compatible with another person before they go on the first date.

Garcia thinks website and app manufacturers could add video and audio clips to user profiles for added realism.

It’s difficult to determine whether text or chat conversations will translate into chemistry in real life, but providing more physical data on the other person could help.

“You’d maybe hear the sound of their voice or see them moving,” he said. “I think that’s where dating sites are going to go to really magnify the experience.”

Gesselman said there are many problems with online dating that could be solved, but would require a larger societal shift.

Most of the frustration she hears of stems from users not knowing what a potential match wants from the dating experience or if their goals align.

Tinder’s most recent statistics report about 1.4 billion swipes per day, although only about 26 million ended in matches — less than two percent.

Some Tinder users will swipe looking for casual encounters, while others want a long-term, committed relationship.

Others swipe in search of texting conversations, but have little interest in meeting in person.

“I don’t know that there’s a good way to solve that,” Gesselman said. “Until we are a more or fully sex-positive culture, people will be hesitant to say that they’re looking for sex rather than a relationship.”
