Former Middle Way House director dies at age 71

By Sarah Gardner gardnese@indiana.edu | @sarahhhgardner

In her many years spent at just one organization, Toby Strout worked to improve the lives of more than 60,000 people affected by domestic and sexual violence in and around Bloomington.

Strout, executive director of Middle Way House for 30 years before she retired, died Monday. She was 71.

Strout was raised by a family of activists and was always a champion for equality herself, Anna Strout, Toby Strout’s daughter,

said.

Strout was a public school teacher in New York City for several years, where she was very involved in protests and social justice, Anna said. She moved to Bloomington to earn her Ph.D. in instructional systems technology from IU’s School of Education.

Strout first became involved with Middle Way House, a nonprofit organization that serves victims of domestic violence and sexual assault, as a board member. She became its executive director in 1987.

“My mother wouldn’t rest until she was certain every person — especially

women — had equal rights and a say in their own lives,” Anna said. “I honor her daily through the work I’m now engaged in and committed to.”

One of Anna’s favorite memories of her mother is Strout’s frequent bus trips to protests and marches in Washington, D.C. Throughout her career at Middle Way House, Strout would often take buses of women, including many living in Middle Way House’s transitional housing as well as Anna and her friends, to the nation’s capital SEE STROUT, PAGE 6

Trump addressed Congress for first time

By Sarah Gardner gardnese@indiana.edu | @sarahhhgardner

In the last 24 hours, President Trump has blamed former President Obama for the White House leaks, graded himself on his work as president thus far and addressed the joint session of Congress for the first time.

Here’s a rundown of what happened and why it matters.

Office of Financial Literacy, had a booth discussing the intersection of finance and relationships.

“People don’t really think about money in a relationship until it’s too late,” said Morgan McMillan, the Assistant Director of Financial Literacy.

Phil Schuman, director of the office, said he normally hears financial concerns

Trump addressed Congress Trump addressed the joint session of Congress for the first time Tuesday evening.

He called on Congress to cross party lines to work together to pass school choice legislation and expand access to healthcare and lower costs with an Obamacare replacement.

About 94 million Americans are out of the labor force and 43 million are living in poverty, he said. However, he believes these numbers are salvageable.

“Everything that is broken in our country can be fixed and every problem can be solved,” Trump said.

Allowing Americans to buy health insurance across state lines will promote competition and save citizens money, he said.

He added he will also work to save Americans money by lowering the cost of medication.

Trump also discussed the realization of his campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again.” This will be achieved by buying American and hiring American, he said, and he ensured the people that the planned Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines will be made with American steel.

The president called to tighten the country’s borders. Most of the terrorist attacks were committed by foreigners, he said, including the attacks in San Bernadino, California, Boston and “even 9/11.”

“We cannot allow our country to become a sanctuary for extremists,” Trump said as he vowed to stop “radical Islamic terrorism.”

Trump also touched on illegal aliens in the United States who are keeping jobs However, none of this can happen if the U.S.‘s economy is not a success.

“To accomplish our goals, we must restart the engine of the American economy,” he said. “We must create a level playing field for American companies.”

Trump emphasized an Americafirst, isolationist policy to create a freer world.

“We know America is better off with less conflict, not more,” he said.

IU loses to Purdue as Boilermakers celebrate a Big Ten title

By Andrew Hussey aphussey@indiana.edu | @thehussnetwork

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Gold and black confetti rained down on IU. The Hoosiers were on the wrong end of a coronation just a season after they won the Big Ten title.

With an opportunity to clinch at least a share of the Big Ten title Tuesday, Purdue didn’t squander the opportunity against IU at Mackey Arena and the Boilermakers defeated the Hoosiers 86-75.

The victory also helped cement Purdue’s sophomore forward Caleb Swanigan’s case for the Big Ten Player of the Year award as he had 21 points and 10 rebounds, dominating the second half with 17 points.

“Obviously, Caleb is hard to guard,” IU Coach Tom Crean said. “He’s very difficult to guard.”

IU’s only lead of the game came when freshman forward Devonte Green hit a threepointer to put IU up three with 11:05 left in the first half. This came after Purdue missed nine of 11 shots after getting off to a strong start.

After IU got the lead, Purdue answered back with a quick 8-0 run, powered by Purdue junior guard Dakota Mathias, who torched IU in the first half with 17 points.

“Mathias, in my opinion, has been the key to their team,” Crean said. “We did a great job against him at our place. That’s some of the video that we lead off with and how good he is moving without the ball. He got hot and we lost him a couple of times and I think that hurt

It wasn’t just Mathias, as Purdue made its next seven shots after Green’s three-pointer and the Boilermakers went on a 28-8 run.

IU closed the deficit to four points with 16:52 left in the game on a corner three-pointer by sophomore forward Juwan Morgan.

Students learn about sexual health, relationships at IMU

By Jesse Naranjo jlnaranj@indiana.edu | @jesselnaranjo

Some students walking on the main level of the Indiana Memorial Union on Tuesday afternoon probably thought they saw a person dressed up as female genitalia, and they were not mistaken.

They would have seen one of the attractions at the fourth annual “Cupcakes and Condoms” event.

The event was organized by

the student-run Sexual Health Advocacy Group (SHAG) and featured more than 25 booths. It was a collaboration with the IU Health Center and groups like Planned Parenthood and the All-Options Pregnancy Resource Center.

Each booth featured a teaching activity for visitors to participate in, and many featured free condoms of varying materials, sizes, shapes and flavors,

accompanied by explanations and tutorials. Female condoms, dental dams and miniature condoms used for foreplay involving fingers were also available.

Senior Caitlin Kee, a member of SHAG, said in addition to promoting safe sex the event was also meant to educate students about sexual health and relationships.

Some booths discussed communication between partners, while Money Smarts, a program by the

Panelists discuss Russian interference in U.S.

By Cody Thompson Comthomp@umail.iu.edu @CodyMThompson

Several experts on Russian relations and cybersecurity talked Tuesday afternoon in the Global and International Studies Building about Russia’s involvement in the recent United States election.

The panel, organized by the Center on American and Global Security or, more specifically, Tagore Professor Sumit Ganguly, the director of the organization, was titled “Lessons and Next Steps after the 2016 Election” and was part of the “Securi-Tea” series of events, where issues of national security are discussed over a cup of tea.

“This is something of extraordinary importance,” said Ganguly, who also moderated the panel.

The panelists were Associate Professor of Political Science Dina Spechler, Associate Professor in the political science department Regina Smyth and Associate Professor of business law and ethics in the Kelley School of Business Scott Shackelford.

The event involved each

panelist speaking for 10-15 minutes before the conversation would open to questions from the audience.

Off to the side were a small selection of cookies, as well as Snapple, Arizona and Gold Peak tea for attendees to drink.

When Ganguly finished his discussion, Spechler was the first panelist to speak. She spent several minutes talking about Russia’s involvement from her perspective.

She laid out the evidence — the investigation by government agencies on the allegations of Russian involvement in U.S. politics.

“For the purpose of this talk, I’m going to assume these events happened,” she said.

Spechler said Russian President Vladimir Putin’s goal was to undermine American’s faith in their government and to institute a leader with sympathetic tendencies toward Russia.

That person, Spechler said, was not Hillary Clinton.

In fact, she said Putin blamed Clinton for several massive Ukraine-style protests that occurred in Moscow

“I think, for him, she represented a threat,” Spechler said.

Then-presidential candidate Donald Trump, she said, had been making many com-

Spechler said there’s no way to know for certain whether Russian intervention ultimately swayed the election but that, considering how close the results were, it may have happened.

Fire alarms tested often, strategically Kelly Evans evanskn@indiana.edu | @knickele5

On a daily basis, students may see a passing a cadet on duty in Ballantine or a few squad cars driving around Bloomington.

However, there are two departments — Public Safety and Institutional Assurance and Emergency Management and Continuity teams — that are relatively unknown and account for another large part of campus safety. Within these umbrellas fall responsibilities from tornado drill training and instructions to tips on personal preparedness and safety.

Director of Emergency Management and Continuity Ken Long is responsible for helping campus with planning and training for certain emergency situations. One of the more typical procedures he oversees is campus fire drills. He answered a few questions about general drill practices in terms of campus safety procedures.

Indiana Daily Student: On average, how many fire drills do you do per semester or per year?

“Well, let’s work it backwards, OK. We probably have about 225 buildings that require drills of some sort, and depending on the type of building and the occupancy dictates how many drills are done for that building. So, a housing building for example, we do four

a year. An administrative building, we do two. Classrooms would be two. There are a couple facilities that it’s required monthly, like a childcare.”

Typically, would you say people pulling the alarms is an issue, or does that not happen as frequently as we would assume?

“False alarm probably isn’t a good word because we have alarms that are triggered that may be due to mischief but could be due to popcorn, something like popcorn, which could be a problem. So, you can’t say it’s a false alarm. You somewhat have to define it when you say. Was there actually a fire? Maybe not. But was it something that could have been an unsafe condition?

Anytime an alarm is activated, it’s an unsafe condition because when that occurs, the fire department gets dispatched, and when the fire department gets dispatched, you’re putting people in harm’s way because they’re trying to get to something to save life and property. So the potential, every time an alarm is activated, there’s risk involved. I don’t want to say that it’s false. I think that’s kind of a bad way to talk about it.”

“We’ve talked to the Bloomington fire chief, and we’ve had meetings to discuss what we could do better, and we’ve tried to emphasize, in the dorms especially, to be conscious about

making popcorn. It sounds like maybe overkill to a point, but it’s really not. If you burn your popcorn and that smell, it can produce smoke and then that would trigger an alarm that would be the potential for something to happen negatively.”

How frequently do you guys double-check the alarms to make sure the testing is good?

“That’s the purpose.

That’s part of the reason we do evacuation or fire drills.

It really is a three-fold purpose. We want to test the equipment. So when we do a fire drill, an evacuation drill, what we do is we work in concert with the EM-Lock department and we go to the buildings. We actually activate the alarms, often times, we’ll get a person that works there to work with us, they like to actually activate it, so we test the equipment to see if the alarms will sound.

Often times there’s strobes, lights, that activate, so we test that equipment. Secondly, we want to validate our emergency action plan.

Our plan says what to do in case of a fire and we want to validate that the plan is a good plan, that people evacuate the premises and then go to an assembly area.

And we want to train, not only the people that are occupying the building but we have what’s called Building Incident Management Team or Emergency Control Committee and they get

the opportunity to practice part of their purpose. Their purpose is to help facilitate incidents that may occur in the building, so when there’s a fire, what they want to do is help guide people out of the building to an assembly point. So they get to practice that.”

In the summertime when student enrollment isn’t what it is during the fall or spring, do you do testing then as well?

“As a matter of fact, we strategically schedule our training. We do it early in the semester when students first arrive and we do it after class hours, so it’d be in the evening, I’m talking about at the dorms, that way the students are familiar with what occurs during a fire drill, which affords the opportunity for the RA’s and the housing managers and what we locally refer to as the Emergency Control Committee to practice what their procedures are, so we do that in the beginning of each semester, in the evening. Then in the summer time, we do it during the day, that way, it’s typically staff, often times people that work in the kitchen or people that do the facility maintenance or upkeep, they get to practice also. So, by strategically timing when we do the drills, it affords us the opportunity to train additional people, that way, we’re reaching everybody — day crew and night crew, staff and faculty and students.”

Scientists find master male and female regulating gene From IDS reports

Scientists at IU have found what is described as a “master gene,” which regulates psychical differences between male and female species. The study was conducted on the beetle species Onthophagus taurus because their genome was sequenced by the The Manhattan Project of Entomology.

This new research shows specifics about the gene’s behavior called “double sex” or dsx, according to an IU press release. Cris Ledón-Rettig, a postdoctoral researcher at IU and who led the study, said it was distinctive in how the study was able to review the entire genome in the process.

“We want to know more about this gene because it helps us answer a major question about development and evolution: How do animals with similar genomes — such as males and females of the same species — produce different versions of the same trait?” Ledón-Rettig said in the release. “And why do some traits, like ornamental features that attract mates, vary so widely, while others, like legs, don’t?”

The study indicates dsx is not just a “switch” that turns female characteristics off in a male species or vice versa but

“I think it’s disturbing,” she said.

Around the room, some participants took notes while others nodded in agreement with the panelists.

Smyth followed Spechler by saying the U.S. is in a context that’s not exactly the Cold War, but a different type of

global conflict which involved not just international competition but intervention in politics on both sides.

“For Russia, there has been an escalation of intervention in other countries,” she said. “This corresponds to heightened use of cyber warfare.”

IU researchers receive grant to study energy use From IDS reports

IU researchers received a $500,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to fund their research on the misperceptions people have about energy use, according to an IU press release.

The project will be a collaboration between Shahzeen Attari, an assistant professor with the School of Public and Environmental Affairs, and David Landy, an assistant professor with the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences.

The project aims to understand why energy misperceptions exist and to create strategies that eliminate them, according to the press release.

“What is truly exciting about this project is that it combines expertise from environmental and cognitive science to address real-world sustainability challenges,” Attari said in the press release.

According to the press release, the four-year project will study why some Americans lack an understanding about the amount of energy they are using on a daily basis.

Attari and Landy will then determine the best methods to change the way people perceive energy usage.

“Moment by moment, we use devices that use energy, but we have no idea how much energy we are using,” Attari said in the release, “We want to characterize the gap between those who understand energy consumption and energy systems and those

who do not. And then we want to help close the gap.”

Through their research, Attari and Landy will create a Visual Energy Training Exercise, an online quiz, which will provide users with immediate results and correct answers, according to the press release.

The Visual Energy Training Exercise will be free and accessible to anyone with access to the internet.

According to the press release, after the exercise is tested and refined by students in SPEA and the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, Attari and Landy will work with IU’s Office of Sustainability to determine whether the exercise changes users’ perception about energy usage.

Attari and Landy plan to identify whether there has been a change in perception by determining whether there has been a decrease in the amount of energy used by participants of the exercise, according to the release.

“Our goal is to develop a new understanding of the perception of energy use and to know better how to communicate the best strategies for reducing consumption,” Landy said in the press release.

rather controls the expression of particular traits based on the sex of the species.

The senior author of the study, Armin Moczek, a professor in the biology department, said the ability to fine tune control by way of this gene is vital to species.

“The power to prevent the expression of male traits in females, and vice versa, is a critical feature,” Moczek said

in the release. “It buffers traits that benefit only members of one sex from causing harm in members of the other.”

In the beetle species studied, males have large horns used to battle rivals for females but these horns do not offer similar advantages to female beetles and would interfere when they dig tunnels for their offspring.

Ledón-Rettig said they

intend to extend their work on dsx into the study of other species in the future as well.

“These beetles are really a powerful platform for unraveling the fundamental mechanisms that underlie evolutionary diversification of sexual traits across species,” Ledón-Rettig said in the release.

St. Paul’s parishioners feast for Carnevale

By Christine Fernando ctfernan@indiana.edu | @christinetfer

Children gathered in the front of the sanctuary to listen to two storytellers speak. While one told a story of a boy transforming into a dragon, the other ran up and down the steps to play the character, earning the laughter of the audience.

The story began St. Paul Catholic Center’s Carnevale celebration Tuesday evening. The Feast of Carnevale event also involved craft stations for children, as well as a feast of jambalaya, po’boys and pancakes. The evening ended in prayer and reflection in preparation for Lent.

Lent refers to the days of fasting, moderation and repentance that lead up to the celebration of Jesus’ resurrection during Easter, Bridget McIntyre, administrator of religious education, said.

Attendee Charlene Miller said the introductory story and its connection to the theme of the event, “Who Am I Becoming?” represented the purpose of Lent as a whole.

Just as the character of the story transformed into a dragon, Catholics transform into something better than their past selves during Lent, she said.

“That’s the goal,” Miller said. “It’s to become better by fasting and reflecting and realizing your faults.”

McIntyre said fasting helps bring parishioners closer to God during the Lenten season.

“It removes external distractions from your relationship with God,” McIntyre said.

While fasting brings Catholics closer to God through sacrifice, Miller said it is still impossible for anyone to understand the sacrifices of Jesus.

Miller said Catholics only live in moderation during Lent, but Jesus spent 40 days in the Judaean Desert without food or water.

She said Jesus also died on the cross for humanity — a sacrifice no Catholic can completely fathom.

After the story ended, attendees headed down the stairs. Each table in the basement was decorated with a vase full of Goldfish crackers and Mardi Gras beads. Purple banners hung from the ceiling.

McIntyre said the color purple represented the idea of penance during the Lenten season.

“It’s about atonement,” McIntyre said. “We sacrifice worldly things to better understand and draw closer to God.” Children gathered with colored pencils in hand to decorate a banner with the word, “Alleluia.” Another group of children crowded around the pancake

griddles. Miller said the food of the feast is symbolic of what Catholics will sacrifice as they enter the Lenten season.

McIntyre said the jambalaya and po’boys mirrored Creole tradition during Mardi Gras, which is the day before Lent begins.

But the pancakes also held meaning, McIntyre said.

In history, McIntyre said

Catholics made pancakes that combined eggs, milk and lard so they could use up more extravagant ingredients before Lent began.

“Using up those ingredients eliminates the temptation to give into them during Lent,” McIntyre said.

“It helped keep focus for fasting during Lent.”

Connor Starks, storyteller and performer,

said he enjoyed how the schedule was lined up for the Carnevale celebration. While the event began with stories, food and laughter, he said it ended with reflection, prayer and self-examination.

“We’re here to have fun,” Starks said. “But it’s also a time to be solemn and look within ourselves to prepare for more serious and

reflective time during Lent.”

The core of Carnevale is the transition to the more solemn days of Lent, McIntyre said.

“As the night goes on, we shift our perspective to focus on God rather than just ourselves,” McIntyre said.

“We have fun, but we also look to the days to come and realize what Jesus sacrificed for us.”

The Monroe County Council meets to discuss the annexation Tuesday afternoon. The council also talked about $11,560 allocated for public transit and funding for bridge projects.

By Emily Ernsberger emelerns@indiana.edu | @emilyerns

In their first session since Bloomington city council approved resolutions to discuss the annexation of seven areas in and around the city, the Monroe County Council discussed its potential budget effects at Tuesday’s meeting.

County council member Geoff McKim presented a self-done fiscal analysis of how the annexation of approximately 10,000 acres and 15,000 people into official limits of the city of Bloomington will affect the county.

Effects estimated by the report include an overall loss to the county of approximately $800,000 in the first year of annexation.

If annexation passes, the city of Bloomington would gain $291,000 from public safety local income taxes, according to McKim’s report.

The city’s report estimates $288,000. Monroe County would lose $271,000 a year after annexation in public safety local income tax.

By McKim’s estimates, Monroe County would lose more than $1 million in local income tax revenue.

If annexation is approved by the city — which is expected to happen this year — annexation would not take effect until Jan. 1, 2020.

Many townships in annexation areas are in fire district agreements until that year.

The city of Bloomington would gain more than $100 million in local income tax revenue, according to McKim’s estimate.

The Monroe County Commissioners have hired an outside analysis firm to do another county fiscal effects report, with results to come in the following weeks.

A fiscal projection report

released by the city when the annexation proposal was announced has little analysis of how annexation will affect Monroe County budgets.

“There is no bottom-line estimate,” McKim said during the meeting, expressing the need to have various financial estimates. “I think it’s good if we all do these calculations ourselves so we’re all informed when we see the report.”

The main difference between the city’s and McKim’s reports is which tax rates were used to make calculations. The city’s report uses 2016 tax rates, while McKim used the newly available 2017 tax rates.

The calculations omit taxes people will not pay when they are annexed, such as fire taxes for township fire departments.

“This is all as if the annexation would take place today rather than 2020,” McKim said, adding that this is an estimate should each of the seven proposed areas be successfully annexed.

One tax revenue source not mentioned in the city’s report is the cable franchise fees. Though according to McKim’s report the revenue from these fees has decreased, it is still a substantial part of their budget.

From these funds, the council has appropriated $700,000, mostly to fund Community Access Television Services. Though it is not certain how these fees will be affected by annexation, council members suggested the city make up the difference in what would be lost by the county.

Annexation has been added to upcoming county council agendas to allow time for each meeting to give reports and discuss the project.

A global music group representing 11 African countries will offer personal perspectives on the refugee experience.

The Nile Project will perform at a benefit for Exodus Refugee Immigration on Wednesday at Upland Brewing Company.

Bloomington public relations firm Rock Paper Scissors is presenting the event to raise money for Exodus Refugee Immigration. Tickets to the event are a donation of at least $10, and Upland’s beer sales will go toward Exodus.

Exodus is an Indiana nonprofit that supports the resettlement of refugee families in Indiana. According to its website, the organization assists refugees with needs like housing, social services, employment, healthcare and education.

The benefit is raising money and awareness to help people who are resettling in the United States and building new homes, Rock Paper Scissors campaign manager Tristra Yeager said.

The Nile Project includes musicians from countries like East Africa, Ethiopia, Egypt and Sudan.

Several of the members are refugees, Nile Project producer and CEO Mina Girgis said.

Yeager said the event is a way to support people who are facing issues that some of the international artists they represent have experienced.

The Nile Project is an international music group including artists from 11 African countries. The group is performing Wednesday at a benefit for Exodus Refugee at Upland Brewery.

“We’re kind of part of a bigger picture that we see as a company and a group of people who care about international culture,” she said.

The musicians in the Nile Project include Sudanese refugees named Asia Madani, a vocalist and percussionist, and Ibrahim Fanous, a vocalist and Eritrean kraar player. The kraar is a type of lyre from Eritrea.

“It’s a really interesting experience to be able to hear music from someone who’s experienced the difficulties of having to flee her homeland,” Yeager said about Madani. “It’s a way to really hear directly from somebody who’s had that experience and has translated it directly into her creative work.”

Madani, who now resides in Egypt, has a Sudanese passport and narrowly avoided being blocked from traveling to the U.S. for the Nile Project tour. She arrived a week before the immigration ban was in effect, Yeager said.

The Trump administration’s approach to immigra-

tion issues disturbs Yeager, she said.

“I don’t think people understand the complexity and how many different industries are going to be affected by this change in approach,” she said. “It’s kind of sad because this isn’t good for Hoosiers.”

Many people are feeling inspired to help refugees because of the current political climate, Yeager said.

“I think this is a time when many people are feeling like they want to be more involved, like they want to be connected to folks with backgrounds that are different from them,” she said.

In addition to the tickets, Rock Paper Scissors will sell world music CDs at the event and encourage people to make extra donations. All proceeds will go to Exodus.

Yeager said the goal is to raise at least a couple thousand dollars for Exodus.

“It’s going to be a really fun night of fellowship and music and celebrating the things that bring us together,” Yeager said.

A Bloomington man was arrested Monday after he allegedly set fire to his own apartment, possibly as part of a plan to leave the state and begin life anew, according to the police.

Evan Schaffer, 22, was charged with arson. Police and firefighters responded near 6 p.m. to the apartment he shares with his girlfriend at Knightridge Apartments on the 600 block of South State Road 446.

The fire was contained to the bedroom of Schaffer’s apartment, Bloomington Police Department Sgt. Dana Cole said. Nobody was harmed in the fire.

Authorities originally believed the fire was started by a cigarette left in the bedroom, Cole said. A fire investigator called BPD officers back to the scene after he found motor oil on the walls and floor of the bedroom. A bucket of oil was also found on the floor.

Schaffer, his girlfriend and their dog returned shortly after the fire was put out. He admitted to smoking a cigarette in the bedroom before leaving but denied setting the fire. When police noted what appeared to be oil on his clothes, he said he had been working on a car.

The fire investigator determined the fire was arson, and police arrested Schaffer and took him to the Monroe County Correctional Center. Schaffer’s girlfriend told police he had talked in the past about getting rid of everything and starting fresh.

The campaign targeted women, African-Americans, Latinos, young people and the LGBT community. In the Democrats’ political calculus, winning these specific groups would provide a path to victory.

As we saw Nov. 8, there were some problems with this strategy. First and foremost, Hillary Clinton is not Obama.

Obama is one of the most gifted campaigners in American history, and the historic turnouts and margins that drove Obama to victory were as much a result of his skill as a candidate as they were because of his policies.

For example, despite news coverage that would suggest otherwise, President Trump won higher percentages of Latino, AfricanAmerican and female voters in 2016 than Mitt Romney did in 2012.

Additionally, while these groups did support Clinton overall, they did not turn out in the same numbers as they did for Obama in past election years.

Democrats needed to make up for this vote deficit with other voters who were not part of this coalition, specifically rural voters, because trying to increase urban turnout behind bad candidates didn’t work this year.

As diverse as the Obama coalition is, it lacks one important thing: geographic diversity.

The groups the Clinton campaign targeted live largely in coastal states and dense metropolitan areas, so their electoral influence is diluted.

Swing states like Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania had far fewer of these voters, and Democrats needed rural voters to pick up the slack of low turnout and lower victory margins among groups in the Obama coalition.

Rural voters, as we saw, did not vote Democrat. From 2008 to 2016, rural votes for Republicans grew from 53 to 62 percent according to NPR. Much like Obama’s unprecedented turnout numbers and margins of victory in 2008, Trump won rural voters in a landslide.

To bring its coalition together, Democrats have often used rural voters as punching bags.

See Obama’s comments describing rural voters as “clinging to their guns and religion.”

These are cultural, not policy-based, positions.

After a decade of that rhetoric and treatment from the Democratic Party, rural voters are not likely to be fleeing from the Republican Party in the upcoming 2018 midterms.

Medical cannabis coming to Indiana State Senate moves forward with a bill allowing use of cannabis oil for seizures According to WTHI-TV, 13-year-old Brice Taylor of West Terre Haute, Indiana, had been plagued by epileptic seizures his whole life, and sometimes he experienced seizures 100 times a day.

As a result, Taylor had the cognitive level of a five-yearold and could not maintain conversation or retain information.

Now, thanks to an FDAapproved study, Brice takes two doses of cannabidiol oil and is seizure-free.

The Indiana Senate created a measure late last month that would allow doctors, caregivers and physicians to use cannabidiol oil to help control the effects of epilepsy.

The proposal has been sent to the House for further consideration in hopes that the amendment will be put into action by April. The

Editorial Board is happy to see Indiana lawmakers move towards a more lax view of cannabinoids.

Commonly referred to as “hemp oil,” this substance contains little THC, but the effects for epileptic patients have proven to be extremely beneficial.

A limited amount of regulated studies have popped up across the country in an effort to show lawmakers the effects of medically therapeutic uses of marijuana.

The National Academies of Sciences recently released a report titled “The Health Effects of Cannabis and Cannabinoids: The Current State of Evidence and Recommendations for Research.”

The report explains that 16 states currently allow access to cannabidiol products, and “of the states that allow for some access

to cannabis compounds, cancer, HIV/AIDS, multiple sclerosis, glaucoma, seizures/epilepsy, and pain are amount the most recognized qualifying ailments.”

Obviously, some states are more flexible.

California paved the way more than 20 years ago when first passing legislation regarding medical uses for cannabis. That being said, it’s much more than a drug war.

The discrepancies that exist between states are harming those medically burdened individuals who are in serious need of relief.

And sadly, current studies have been improperly carried out and are therefore inadequate when supplying evidence.

We need more literature on the matter – the federal government should fund studies to help children like

Brice receive the help they need. This will both hasten and legitimize the legislation process.

Epilepsy affects 2.75 million Americans, yet “recent systematic reviews were unable to identify any randomized controlled trials evaluating the efficacy of cannabinoids for the treatment of epilepsy.”

Insufficient evidence due to limited and improper scientific studies should not be the reasoning behind Indiana’s inability to pass laws regarding medicinal cannabis use.

If anything, the Senate’s recent allowance for using cannabidiol for epileptic relief should incentivize the government to draft other stipulations that allow for access when relieving pain from HIV and AIDS, cancer, anorexia, irritable bowel syndrome, multiple

sclerosis, Tourette’s syndrome, Huntington’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, dementia, anxiety, depression, glaucoma, and many more conditions.

Even though most studies conducted to report the effects of cannabinoids on these ailments were inconclusive and do not provide sufficient evidence to make a claim, it is clear that the lack of scientifically regulated studies out there are due to the government’s inability to fund proper studies.

The clear connection between the lack of government-initiated studies and limited legislation highlights the heart of the problem.

More resources need to be pulled in order to conduct controlled studies that will nail down the medical benefits of cannabis once and for all.

WEEKLY WISDOM

Conservatives face discrimination on college campuses Vice Provost for Student Affairs and Dean of Students Dr. Lori Reesor’s sent an email last week about the Culturally Engaging Campus Environments survey, asking about different communities’ experiences on campus and administration’s general mission to create a safe and productive learning environment for all. I am writing an open letter to IU administrators to encourage them to consider what is perhaps one of the largest disenfranchised groups — conservatives — on IU’s campus.

With research findings in his book “Why are professors liberal and why do conservatives care,” sociologist Neil Gross shows Republicans are grossly underrepresented in academia. He estimates half of professors subscribe to a liberal ideology. Economic

conservatives are underrepresented in academia, at just four percent of professors according to Gross. Gallup numbers conservatives nationwide at 42 percent.

New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof, a self identified liberal, wrote about a dinner party he attended.

He quotes a black evangelical professor saying that he faces far more discrimination for his religious views than his skin color.

When Kristof discussed this with liberal academic friends, their responses ranged from dismissive to approving. One went so far as to equate hiring conservatives with hiring idiots. Swap the word conservative with any other minority, and you would have a lawsuit on your hands.

A peer-reviewed study

from Tilburg University in the Netherlands from 2012 reveals a third of liberal academics proudly admitting they would discriminate against conservative candidates for jobs and promotions.

If African Americans or women or any other demographic group were underrepresented by a factor of ten and a half in college faculty, liberals would be burning the quad.

With such a poisonous environment in academia, it is not surprising that conservative students are likewise marginalized on campus.

While I attended the Conservative Political Action Committee last week I spoke with many students from other schools that shared my experience. Nearly ubiquitous in our conversations

were complaints about the echo chambers on our campuses at large.

For most conservatives, not a day goes by where we do not endure snide comments about our beliefs or gross generalizations directed toward our ideology, often coming from the ones leading the class.

It is so bad many choose not to speak up, so they silently endure this fate for four years. This harms everyone’s education because exposure to different ideologies is necessary for the intellectual growth of students.

If this sort of hostile environment existed for any other group on campus, the howls of the left would be deafening, but because the bias is against their political opponents, far-left campus liberals comfort themselves with

thoughts of their righteous struggle against the right.

IU administrators must rectify this situation. Efforts should be taken to ensure professors do not bully and marginalize students, and conservatives should be sought when universities recruit this faculty to create an ideologically diverse campus.

The immorality of what goes on daily in campus hiring offices and classrooms is ignored and trivialized by those that fashion themselves crusaders for equality.

It is time IU’s administration protected all community members not just those they agree with. zaochamb@umail.iu.edu

COZY UP WITH KATIE

LinkedIn is a more professional, more useful Facebook For years, LinkedIn has rightfully prided itself on being the world’s largest professional network and continues to increase its appeal to the college student demographic every day.

With new professionals joining at the accelerating rate of more than two new members per second according to LinkedIn’s website, it’s no surprise that students and recent college graduates are flocking to LinkedIn. LinkedIn provides a superior professional outlet for young people to communicate compared to other social networking sites.

In fact, in an “About Us” press release, LinkedIn says this group of students and grads is its fastest-growing demographic and makes up 40 million of its users.

While that may seem like a lot, it only makes up a small portion of the everincreasing 465 million users that make up the member population.

For those who aren’t familiar with the website, LinkedIn is a professional network that works somewhat similarly to Facebook.

The creators of this brilliant tool definitely seemed to have college students in mind when they decided to make it free to register.

That means at no cost to them, any student has the ability to easily connect with other students, business professionals and companies.

These connections, similar to Facebook friends, can easily navigate to a user’s profile and view his

or her skills, work history, education, volunteer work, publications and more.

Not only does LinkedIn match users with these possible connections based on profile, but the website can also match you with jobs based on your qualifications and job search history.

Once matched with a job, some businesses even let you apply directly from a LinkedIn account. This option makes it easy and fast to apply for a position in a matter of seconds.

If you aren’t quite ready to apply or your résumé still needs some fine-tuning, LinkedIn has cleverly added in a “save” feature so you can save the job to your account and go back later to find it.

Arguably one of the

best features of the job tool is customizing your job search. If you go to “job preferences” on the jobs page, you can customize the locations you are looking for, what experience you have, certain job levels, what size you want the company to be and you can even opt to turn on the recruiter option and according to LinkedIn “let your next job find you.”

Also similarly to Facebook, you can update your status, post photos or upload articles to your news feed for your connections to see, comment on, like or share.

Unlike the memes, family photos, or updates in relationship status that you might see on a Facebook newsfeed, LinkedIn users generally tend

KLEIN OF A BIG DEAL

JORDAN RIVER FORUM

Stop rewarding sexual assaulters For the sake of entertainment, movie and television audiences willfully suspend their disbelief and hope this sacrifice will prove to be rewarding. We give up — at least in part — the cynicism we apply to our daily lives in exchange for something that we expect will make those lives a little easier to bear.

Lately, though, it feels like we’re giving up a little more than our skeptical sensibilities.

On Sunday night, Casey Affleck, who settled two lawsuits recently for sexual harassment allegations in 2010 with women from the set of film “I’m Still Here,” accepted the Academy Award for best actor for his performance in “Manchester by the Sea.” This once again demonstrates what contemporary culture confirms ad nauseum: Sexual assault, at least in the eyes of those currently in power, is not an offense for which a man will be denied success.

To make matters worse, the duty of presenting Affleck with his award fell to Brie Larson. Larson, who had to present Affleck with a Golden Globe for the same role in “Manchester” and who won the Oscar for best actress in 2016 for her role as a rape survivor in “Room,” refused to hug him when he came to the stage.

Some may argue that introducing a moral litmus test to the Oscars would be a dicey process that could dangerously stifle art. Others may say that Casey Affleck truly gave the best performance of any male actor in a leading role this past year.

I hardly think demanding actors to refrain from sexually violating other human beings would unduly harm the film industry. Anyone for whom that demand would pose a problem does not deserve the power and

privilege celebrities acquire.

Surely our country’s cinema scene is not so hopelessly lacking in talent as to depend on men accused of sexual assault for its survival.

If your alleged victims suffer, so should your career.

Although there is no way to provide full justice for survivors of sexual assault, we cannot simply take that to mean that no consequences are necessary whatsoever.

Adopting a more optimistic perspective on the actions Hollywood could take to improve, it is clear that reform would need to start long before awards season began. Directors should make casting choices more carefully and weed out candidates with dangerous histories like Affleck’s from the very beginning.

Such was clearly not the case with “Manchester by the Sea,” nor do I expect that kind of screening process — though fair and sorely needed — to become a new standard. The least the film industry could do, then, is decline to reward people like Casey Affleck with the highest honors available.

It is painful to know that such a claim, which simply argues that sexual assault survivors deserve the dignity of seeing their wellbeing prioritized above the success of their attackers, will be met with resistance.

In his acceptance speech, Affleck admitted that he wished he “had something bigger and more meaningful to say.” I wish that, too, Casey; something along the lines of an apology, or a refusal to accept the award would have been more appropriate. mareklei@umail.iu.edu

REYNOLDS WRAP UP

We must reform civil forfeiture in Indiana At least 8 lawmakers — seven Republicans and one Democrat — are pushing bills to reform civil forfeiture laws in the state of Indiana.

These are valiant efforts because civil forfeiture laws need to be reformed because it gives law enforcement too much power.

With these 8 bills in the works, and possibly more to come during Indiana’s current legislative session, 2017 may be the year we see reform.

Civil forfeiture in Indiana, and in general, is the legal process of law enforcement officers seizing assets of people who are suspected of committing a crime or other illegal activity.

While civil forfeiture has benefits, such as allowing police to seize counterfeit money; shut down drug houses that present a constant problem to a city; or seize criminal instruments, such as boats smuggling undocumented immigrants or drugs across the border, it is a drastically flawed process.

The main issue with civil forfeiture is more often than not law enforcement officers do not have to convict anyone to seize their assets. Instead of needing conviction, 31 states across the nation, Indiana included, require only something called preponderance of the evidence as a standard of proof.

All police must show is that the assets seized are more likely than not connected to Illegal activity. This may seem like a good enough standard at first glance, but only because of vague wording.

Another way to consider the term “more likely than not” is to say that the evidence must only be a slight amount more than 50-50 in favor of the government than the person who had their assets seized. This is a spit in the face to the American people and the United States legal system.

The legal system most commonly uses a standard

which requires the evidence sufficient to convict someone be beyond a reasonable doubt of guilt. Standards like these are in place so the innocent do not get persecuted, but civil forfeiture laws are void of this level of carefulness.

This lacking standard of proof leads to unfair scenarios for American citizens across the country. In Indiana, specifically, a women whose son was arrested on drug charges had her personal bank account frozen, and police even went as far as to attempt to seize her home.

While these issues were resolved, the woman was still put through legal hassle and almost lost her property for no good reason.

Not only are the ethics behind Indiana’s civil forfeiture laws’ standard of proof shady, but the way asset values are distributed after seizure in Indiana may violate the state constitution.

There is an open case in the Marion County Superior Court that claims financial gains from seized assets are not being spent how they should. Per the Indiana Constitution all forfeiture is to go to schools, but that supposedly is not the case in Marion County.

According to the twopeople leading the case against Marion County, law enforcement officers are taking a portion of the seized assets and giving the remainder to schools. If true, this would be unconstitutional, and show another reason why civil forfeiture reform is needed in Indiana.

I hope Indiana sees civil forfeiture reform in 2017. If not in 2017, then citizens of Indiana need to continue to fight for reform against this unfair, un-American and maybe even unconstitutional process. sareynol@umail.iu.edu

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

This is corporatism, not capitalism For all too long, the people of our generation have been mistaking our country’s current economic system for mostly free market capitalism.

This is a detrimental mistake. Our current economic system is an impure mixture of unhelpful regulations and big business pampering.

This system is called corporatism. In corporatism, supposedly beneficial regulations backfire and end up hurting small businesses and helping big businesses and corporations.

Terms like “too big to fail,” and “bailouts,” run freely among politicians and the like. In true free market capitalism, big businesses must be responsible for their failures and will collapse and close if they aren’t careful.

In capitalism, regulations that can often be extremely burdensome on up and coming small businesses are lifted so that they may prosper.

In our current environment, many small businesses are stamped out by not being able to keep up

with all the many precarious government requirements, taxes, or fees and they close down or never even start.

This allows the few preexisting big businesses to run the market as they always have.

Take the beer market, for example. There were only a few family-run beer companies that managed to stick around through prohibition and resumed business afterwards.

Government quickly regulated the alcohol industry to a very extreme extent, practically closing it off from any new competitors.

Since then almost no new beer manufacturer has entered the national scale marketplace.

Yes, there are many brands for you to choose from, but all of them are owned by the same few companies.

Heineken owns Heineken, Tecate, Sol, Dos Equis, and several more. Molson Coors owns Coors, Keystone, Miller, and more.

If you read farther into it, you will find that the same five companies own all the

major brands for beer and have for quite some time.

If the marketplace were to be deregulated, other companies would have the opportunity to enter the market and compete with these giants.

Corporatism is the name given to the system that has restricted this marketplace and given way to allow these behemoths to rule, not capitalism.

The beer market is only one small example. There are plenty of other offensive regulations in almost every given aspect of the American marketplace that are incredibly unfavorable to small businesses.

Politicians claim they support small businesses but their regulations and support of crony capitalism say otherwise.

By fooling ourselves into thinking that America could never stray away from capitalism, we’ve chosen to believe that capitalism is to blame for all of our market failures and economic difficulties.

We refuse to believe that it is the suffocating rules and

regulations of our seemingly benevolent government.

Capitalism has no room to support a military-industrial complex or multi-thousand page regulation books and tax codes.

This is no longer our free market system, and cannot be blamed for the mistakes of our government.

The only businesses that can survive and even thrive through devastating regulations are the huge corporations everyone claims they oppose.

The point is, next time the market hits a large rough patch, instead of attacking the easy scapegoat, perhaps look a little farther into the matter and see what players really had a hand in the matter.

Was it the failure of supply and demand, or was it the work of an endless playbook of government regulations? Capitalism doesn’t play favorites with old big businesses, but corporatism absolutely will.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Responding to Dr. Terry Anderson’s speech I am writing in response to last Wednesday’s presentation by Dr. Terry Anderson and subsequent audience questions, as covered by the Indiana Daily Student.

I am a professor of environmental science at the School of Public and Environmental Affairs, which, so far as I am aware, had nothing to do with the choice of speaker for an event that was to have been in honor of Dr. Elinor Ostrom.

Dr. Anderson’s audience seemed to disagree with his repeated statements that measuring carbon

emissions is too difficult to be feasible. Dr. Anderson is an economist and may not be up on the climate news of the last decade — guidelines for national reporting have been available since 2006. At the Paris climatechange talks in December 2015, 195 nations found the task feasible.

Dr. Anderson was also asked about an exercise he published in which he plotted past atmospheric temperatures and drew a linear regression line through these notably nonlinear data to predict future temperatures. When asked

about the models that climate scientists use to forecast future temperatures, Dr. Anderson replied that those scientists had “models” whereas he had “the data.”

Dr. Anderson did indeed have data — a single series of past temperatures. However, he also had a very simple model — a straight-line regression.

Thus, both Dr. Anderson and the climate scientists are using data and models.

But only the climate scientists are using information about the causes of climate change and only the

climate scientists are validating their models and improving them.

One could ask whether Dr. Anderson would advocate that we study risk of age-related disease by looking at rates in young people and extrapolating, in a straight line, to older folk.

Or might we want to use information related to the causes of important problems to estimate and to act on the associated risks?

She would sing old labor songs, like “If I Had a Hammer” and “We Shall Overcome,” the whole way there, Anna said.

“She turned me and all of my friends into feminists,” Anna said.

In Strout’s lifetime, she got to see the expansion of Middle Way House’s services to areas in the region beyond Bloomington and the closing of the mortgage on the New Wings facility, a building opened in 2010. The closing of the mortgage was accomplished in part through a fundraiser begun by Jesse Eisenberg last year.

“I have truly never seen somebody with such a specific mission and resolute focus as Toby,” Eisenberg, Anna’s partner, said. “She had a simultaneously fastidious and creative approach to her work.”

Strout helped to choose Debra Morrow as Middle Way House’s next executive director. Morrow started working in her new position this January.

Morrow was initially a client of Middle Way House, living in the organization’s transitional housing. Morrow said her admiration of Strout’s leadership helped motivate her to continue working with Middle Way House.

“Going to work with an organization run by Toby sounded like the best job in the world,” Morrow said.

“When you look at her time here, you realize that thousands of people have been helped because of her work.

Toby touched so many people in this community.”

Morrow recalled a time when she was living in transitional housing when she ran into Strout after coming home from work for the day. Strout stood next to Morrow and spoke to her like her equal, Morrow said.

When Morrow was working as Middle Way House’s community service coordinator, Strout once showed up to a bingo night Morrow organized for the women living there. Strout sat and played bingo with them the whole night. Morrow said she hoped she could maintain such a personal connection to the people she worked with the way Strout did.

Strout’s work also extended to IU, where Middle Way House worked to educate students about sexual assault and domestic violence.

Many students have used Middle Way House’s services, Anna said, and many have volunteered and interned with the organization as well.

Middle Way House recently began a fund in Strout’s honor, the Toby Strout VOICES Fund. VOICES, which stands for Visualizing Opportunities, Independence, Choices and Empowerment for Survivors, is meant to allow community members to contribute to the furthering of Strout’s mission.

“The work’s never done, that’s what she would always say, and that’s especially true now,” Anna said. “She wanted to make sure we never shirked our responsibility to each other.”

spin a wheel and read the scenario corresponding to the topic the wheel stopped on. These included condom usage, STI testing and HIV status.

Senior Alea Shelton, who helped run the booth, said college is a time when young adults are introduced to new experiences, which is why condom usage is especially important.

The IU Health Center booth featured a board describing the history of condom usage, dating back thousands of years. The first condoms were not worn to protect against diseases and were more like clothing, the board said, and condoms in the 1800s were as thick as a rubber tire, a fact which pharmacy technician Roberta Mank said widened eyes.

Mank ran the booth, which also promoted the Health Center’s medication delivery ser-

vice. The service, which is currently available to residence halls only, also delivers emergency contraceptives like Plan B One-Step.

Mank said it is important for students to know emergency oral contraceptives were available without a prescription, and that they were available through the Health Center’s delivery service. Residence halls have a secure location to receive medication, while greek houses and off-campus housing do not, which is why the program has not yet been extended beyond campus, she said.

Bloomington Symphony Orchestra strikes new, Latin American chord

By Sanya Ali siali@indiana.edu | @siali13

The Bloomington Symphony Orchestra will soon stage a concert that intends to combat the notion Latin American music can only look or sound a certain way.

“Scene Change: Music of Latin America,” debuts 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater and will feature the premiere of Juan Orrego-Salas’ yet-unrevealed piece, “Ash Wednesday.”

The show will be put on in connection with the Latin American Music Center.

Christine Wisch, BSO violinist and coordinator for the Latin American Music Center, said the night will be a celebration of all types of Latin American music, and working on the pieces for the show has been a process of learning and enjoyment.

“It’s been really worthwhile and musically satisfying to learn about and learn how to play these different styles and composers,” Wisch said. “It’s also been really fun to watch the other members of the orchestra discover these composers. I’ll be willing to bet most of them didn’t know at least one.”

The show includes pieces by composers from across Latin America including Orrego-Salas with a Chilean perspective, Celso Garrido-Lecca from Peru, Guillermo Uribe Holguín of Colombia and a few more.

Orrego-Salas, the founder of the Latin American Music Center at IU, will attend this show and hear his piece successfully performed for the first time in history. Wisch said the group has united to take on the new experience of playing through the challenges of “Ash Wednesday.”

“We know, understand and appreciate the importance of Orrego-Salas as an ambassador for music in his country,” Wisch said. “A bunch of other orchestras have attempted to stage this piece, and it’s challenging putting together the different instrumental and vocal lines. We’ve taken a point of pride to be able to present this to an audience.

It truly is an honor.”

Javier León, director of the Latin American Music Center, said the goals of the Latin American Music Center have included spreading awareness about and sharing Latin American music with the campus and the community, and this partnership with Bloomington Symphony Orchestra is a step toward larger community engagement.

The ability to spread Latin American music within IU is simpler than the larger goal of spreading across not just the

state, but the country as well.

“Being able to partner with Bloomington Symphony, we can introduce this music to a larger group of people,” León said. Alejandro is an advocate of this kind of music. We’re kindred spirits and it’s made it a fun collaborate, looking through pieces, different things we can do.”

Alejandro Gomez Guillen, the conductor and director of Bloomington Symphony Orchestra this year, has been vocal about the need to widen the scope of how Latin American music is perceived versus the true diversity within the category.

This concert aims in part to celebrate that sonic diversity, to reach through to the audience and paint a more complete picture of the complexity that

exists outside of just folk or Billboard Top 40, León said.

“Our goal is for people to realize that, for a couple of centuries now, maybe longer, there have been composers writing classical music, not just for the upper class, but combining folk and popular music,” Leòn said. “Latin American classical music is just classical music played by an orchestra, some of that folk or top 40 is represented in the concert, but there are also radically different types of music.”

When people walk away from the concert, there should be a sense of interest in learning more about the musical styles, Wisch said.

“I would love for them to have a curiosity sparked about the symphonic repertoire from Latin America, and walk

away saying, ‘This is really cool, I want to learn more about it,’” Wisch said.

“Hopefully this inspires them to pursue it and ask to get it programmed more often.”

Working as a group on putting together this show has been educational and a good exercise in bonding as an orchestra and a community, Wisch said.

“It’s been really satisfying and really fun, above all,” Wisch said. “The orchestra has really enjoyed coming together and we’ve worked really hard on this.

It’s fun and intellectually and emotionally satisfying to promote this music. To work with both the center and Bloomington Symphony Orchestra, we’ve really gotten a sense of this music and the diversity within the different countries represented.”

BOOK CORNER

Oscars rouse thoughts on film adaptations of popular literature This week, I have film on the brain.

Like most bibliophiles, I love a good book-to-film adaption, and like most of my habits and ideals, my expectations for literary adaptations have changed drastically since I was a child.

My generation grew up reading and watching the “Harry Potter” series. This was my first experience with literary adaptation, and it set the bar high.

From then on, anytime I learned that one of my favorite books was to be made into a film I began to harbor unrealistic expectations for the adaptation.

I wanted nearly every detail from the novel to make it into the movie, but I didn’t understand that creating a film is a huge process and that movies would actually be pretty boring if that were the case.

Some of the recent bookto-screen adaptations I’m looking forward to watching are HBO’s “Big Little Lies,” which I reviewed in last week’s column, and “Arrival,” which is based on a book of short stories by Ted Chiang.

I also am looking forward to seeing the adaption of “Murder on the Orient Express,” based on one of my favorite novels, and one of the most prominent Agatha Christie works. This movie would not just be an adaptation but also a remake of the 1974 film, so it will be interesting to see how the film will be updated.

It makes sense to regard literary adaptations with caution. Despite filmmakers’ best intentions, sometimes the end result in no way resembles the original work. In even worse scenarios, the movie is simply bad.

In my opinion, some of the best adaptations largely

follow the plot of the original material but change certain aspects that wouldn’t work cinematically. Sometimes novels contain so much backstory it would be ridiculous to include all of it onscreen.

Although books and movies differ in many ways, there are benefits to both media.

For example, when reading a book, I find I am much more involved with the characters’ internal thoughts and emotions. When watching a movie, there is often an added level of suspense from watching the plot physically unfold.

While it is entertaining to compare the printed versions to their adaptations, an adaptation becomes truly great if it can stand alone as an outstanding piece of work.

Perhaps one of the most notable adaptations in cinematic history is the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy. In 2004, “The Return of the King” won a record-tying 11 Oscars, including Best Picture.

Despite never having read the books, I love the movies, and critics and audiences have labeled the adaptations a success. While I used to let my sense of superiority get in the way of my enjoyment of books and movies, I now can enjoy books and their adaptations as separate entities.

Whether someone is a bibliophile or a movie buff, it really comes down to telling good stories. Everyone can find something they enjoy, and ultimately it doesn’t matter if they’ve read the book first or not.

Free throw attempts cost IU

By Zain Pyarali zpyarali@iu.edu | @ZainPyarali

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — With 10:57 to play in the second half, IU junior guard James Blackmon Jr. stepped up to the free throw line.

It may have seemed like a normal occurrence, but it was the first free throw attempt of the game for IU. The Hoosiers didn’t get to the free throw line in the entire first half of play and the Boilermakers had 14 attempts before their opponent even had their first. IU ended up getting to the line 17 times by the end of the game, but that didn’t make a difference.

364 days after IU clinched its Big Ten regular season championship at Iowa, Purdue used free throws to clinch a share of its 23rd Big Ten regular season title against IU on Tuesday night by winning 86-75 at Mackey Arena.

“We didn’t shoot a free throw until the 11 minute mark in the second half, got

outscored 15 to 16 points at the foul line with a plan to go inside,” IU Coach Tom Crean said. “I’d say that’s always going to be a factor when you’re not getting a chance to match that.”

It was the 10th straight IU-Purdue game at Mackey Arena decided by double digits, but based on statistics alone the Hoosiers didn’t play like they lost by 11.

The amount of IU turnovers and points off turnovers from its opponent is usually a good indicator of whether the Hoosiers will win or lose. In the Hoosiers’ last loss before Tuesday, IU turned the ball over 22 times in a defeat against Iowa.

Eleven first half turnovers put IU down by eight points at the break, but just three turnovers in the second half kept them at 14 for the game compared to 10 for Purdue. IU made an assertive effort to keep points off turnovers even and both teams scored 14 off the others’ mistakes.

Neither squad had a clear edge in terms of made baskets either, as IU made two more shots than Purdue from the field and both teams sunk eight shots from beyond the arc.

The Hoosiers even had the edge in rebounding and points in the paint, but the biggest difference was free throw shooting. Purdue outscored IU by 15 at the charity stripe and was 28-of-33 compared to IU’s 13-of-17.

Crean said free throw shooting was the biggest thing that hurt the Hoosiers over the course of the entire game.

“It’s obvious when you’re scoring points in the paint that we are and yet 15 points behind at the free throw line,” Crean said. “It just hurt us.”

IU failing to get to the free throw line isn’t a recurring theme, however.

Over the past 10 games, opponents have shot 274 free throws compared to just 174 for IU. The only time IU had

86-75 more attempts than its opponent over the past 10 games was in the triple overtime victory against Penn State where it got to the line three more times than the Nittany Lions.

The Hoosier big men got into foul trouble early and often, which led the Boilermakers to the free throw line.

Freshman forward De’Ron Davis fouled out with more than 12 minutes to play and sophomore center Thomas Bryant picked up his fifth foul with more than six minutes left in the game.

Purdue was sound defensively and although IU ended up shooting 17 free throws Tuesday night, all but two of them came while down double digits.

“I thought we were getting fouled,” junior guard Josh Newkirk said. “But that’s how they call it.”

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — You can say many things about the Purdue student section, but you can’t say they’re not polite.

Twice in the second half — for Hoosier sophomore center Thomas Bryant and freshman forward De’Ron Davis — the fans were kind enough to show IU to the bench. “Left, right, left, right,” screeched Mackey Arena, providing both of the fouled-out players step-by-step directions back to their seats. They even facilitated the Hoosiers into their seats yelling, “Sit down” at the duo.

With 12:18 left in the game for Davis and the 5:46 mark for Bryant, the Boilermaker faithful imparted these instructions.

These recommendations derived from the Hoosier defense’s inability to stop anyone with mass on the opposition. Possession after possession, the Purdue big men — sophomore Caleb Swanigan and junior Isaac Haas — took the ball into the teeth of the defense and either put the ball in the basket or forced enough pressure to get to the free throw line.

Twenty-eight IU fouls helped lead to 33 Purdue free throws and the Boilermakers never looked back in an 86-75 win over the Hoosiers.

Crean wouldn’t talk about the free throw disparity after the game, as he didn’t want to comment on the refereeing, but his frustration was evident.

At some point, however, an abnormality becomes a trend. Big Red and the fans have complained about the sizable amount of fouls this season, but there are reasons for this development.

The forwards and centers wearing crimson continually play defense with their hands instead of their feet, a problem that has plagued the team game-in and game-out. This is even more unmistakable in the later stages of every game, as the Hoosier big men are often exhausted over the final 20 minutes.

IU entered the sea-

son with depth at the forward spots, but the frontcourt unfortunately has become one of its main weaknesses.

Without sophomore forward OG Anunoby and senior forward Collin Hartman, the Hoosiers are at a dearth of bodies from the get-go in each game.

This showed, especially in the second half as the onslaught continued and Crean had no genuine answer.

You can’t say he didn’t try to stop the bleeding though.

Junior forward Tim Priller played semi-meaningful minutes and scored six points while giving a bit of energy to the squad.

But, even though he’s a fan favorite, Priller is not the answer to Purdue, which boasts the best frontcourt in the Big Ten. Crean even went small in the second half, throwing together a hodgepodge lineup of wing players in James Blackmon Jr., Grant Gelon, Devonte Green, Josh Newkirk and Robert Johnson.

This lineup would probably have the best 40-yarddash time, but once again, actual success on the court would be unfathomable.

The Hoosiers realized their fate right after the 10-minute mark. Trailing by six after a Priller bucket, they slowly but surely lost any chance of coming back. Junior guard Dakota Mathias got to the line, senior guard Spike Albrecht nailed a 3-pointer and then Swanigan made his way to the charity stripe. The small deficit the Hoosiers had cut out had now become too much to overcome.

As the game reached its fitful conclusion, the packed house assisted the Hoosiers once again, giving Crean and his squad a friendly reminder of what’s to come.

“NIT,” they chanted.

IU set for another road game

By Spencer Davis @spencer_davis16 spjdavis@umail.iu.edu

IU Coach Chris Lemonis challenged his team Sunday after the Hoosiers’ 11-inning 6-6 tie at Florida Atlantic.

The third-year manager told his squad that it needs to play at a high level more consistently and that each player must do his job. He said the weekend’s results weren’t quite satisfying.

“To go down there and go 1-1-1, that last game left a sour taste in our mouth a little bit,” Lemonis said.

“But I think they know that they can play with just about anybody.”

IU, 3-3-1, will hit the road again Wednesday to face 2-4 Cincinnati. Lemonis’ squad will be eager to move on from Sunday’s odd tie.

After gaining the lead in the top of the eighth inning for the first time all game Sunday, IU allowed two runs in the final two frames to send it to extra innings.

The teams were able to play two innings of free baseball until the travel curfew went into effect and ended the game in a tie. Lemonis said IU set the travel curfew earlier in the weekend, but was still shocked it was reached Sunday.

“That’s why I was so frustrated that we gave up the runs late because we knew we were on a short clock,” Lemonis said of the game that resulted in his first career tie.

Despite facing what

The Hoosiers celebrate then-sophomore Laren Eustace’s walk-off single which gave them a 3-2 win April 10, 2016. IU will face Cincinatti on the road Wednesday.

Lemonis called some of the best pitchers in the country thus far, the Hoosiers have hit the most home runs through the first seven games of an IU season since 2001. Their team batting average, however, is currently a meager .243.

Senior outfielder Craig Dedelow has hit three home runs in 2017 but admitted he and other Hoosiers in the strongest part of the lineup, including junior outfielder Logan Sowers, need to improve starting with Wednesday’s game.

“The middle of our order isn’t clicking right now and once that gets going it’s going to be pretty scary,” Dedelow said. “We’re making strides every single day and personally, I feel a little bit better in

Sophomore infielder Luke Miller got his first three starts of 2017 last weekend after recovering from an injury that limited him to the bench when the Hoosiers were in Arizona for their first games of the season.

“It feels a lot better, so I think it’s just staying where I am and getting better each day,” Miller said. “Just keeping the same approach, doing the same things I’ve been doing and just stay through the ball and hit the ball hard.”

“It makes you feel more stable, knowing where you are going to play everyday, so you know what to expect, and I think that’s going to help me a little bit,” Miller said.

Lemonis announced that freshman Cal Krueger will start for the Hoosiers against the Bearcats on Wednesday.

First pitch is scheduled for 6 p.m.

“We’re so young that we’re trying to see guys, we’re trying to get guys starts, we’re really trying to figure ourselves out a little bit,” Lemonis said. “I’m sure he’ll get some more starts as long as he pitches well, but we have some other guys that we’re trying to mix in there.”

For a second consecutive week, IU men’s tennis caught the attention of the Intercollegiate Tennis Association and was slotted at No. 37 on Tuesday in the latest NCAA team rankings.

Last week the Hoosiers were at No. 45 in the top-50 rankings, but moved up eight spots after beating then-No. 32 Washington on the road by a score of 4-3. The win in Seattle bumped IU’s season record to 8-4.

In Sunday’s matchup against Washington, IU won the doubles point in addition to winning singles matches at positions two, four and six.

Sophomore Antonio Cembellin won his singles match at position two in thrilling fashion. After going down a set to Washington’s Mitch Stewart, Cembellin fought back to win his match 3-6, 6-3, 6-4.

Last week, Cembellin was ranked No. 125 in the NCAA singles rankings. Updated singles rankings are released next Tuesday.

IU’s upcoming opponent, Cornell, also climbed the new rankings and moved from No. 24 to No. 18. The Hoosiers will play the Bears at the IU Tennis Center on Friday before IU is host to rival Purdue on Sunday.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Helmer named coach of year From IDS reports

The IU men’s track and field team received more honors from the Big Ten Conference on Tuesday following the Hoosiers’ conference championship win in Ohio over the weekend.

Sophomore jumper Treyton Harris won the Field Athlete of the Championships award. He set a new career-best mark in both the long jump and high jump and scored a total of 18 points for IU. Harris won the long jump with a distance of 7.71 meters and finished second in the high jump with a clearance of 2.17 meters.

IU Coach Ron Helmer was also named Big Ten Coach of the Year for the second time in his career.

Helmer led the Hoosiers to their first indoor conference title since 2012, which was the last time he won the award.

Adrian Mable was also recognized as the Sportsmanship Award Honoree for IU. He is now a candidate to win the Big Ten Sportsmanship Award at the end of the year.

The Big Ten Conference will announce the winners of the yearly awards for athletes following the conclusion of the NCAA Championships on March 11.

After the NCAA Championships, the IU track and field team will hit the road for eight consecutive meets away from Bloomington in March and April.

IU receives energy, spark from bench

By Josh Eastern jeastern@iu.edu | @JoshEastern

They might break it down dancing before a game, fall into someone’s arms jokingly after a big play, or find another way to cheer on their teammates.

That, in a nutshell, is this year’s freshmen class. Guard Ria Gulley and forwards Bre Wickware and Darby Foresman have taken bench celebrations to a whole other level. Last season in men’s basketball, Monmouth was made famous for its bench celebrations. This year on the women’s side, IU’s reserves have taken that role on and run with it.

IU Coach Teri Moren called out the bench after a December win against Northern Kentucky. Ever since then, the bench has taken it upon itself to rile up

teammates with crazy celebrations. The rest of the team enjoys it, the crowd gets into it, and the freshmen all have fun doing it.

“I think we just are super energetic as it is,” Foresman said. “When we have energy on the bench, it carries over to the game. Especially, whoever is playing, it gets them going too.”

The production on the court hasn’t necessarily been there from the Hoosier bench players, but that may be OK, because what they do to rile up their teammates shows how close this team has become.

Moren intentionally set up the schedule to play a lot of road games in the nonconference part of the schedule.

The Hoosiers went through a stretch of five out of six games on the road. It was a grind. At the time Moren said

she wanted to get this group closer and now looking back on it, she said she likes how it turned out.

When a team is on the road, it is almost forced to become closer simply based on the sheer fact the players are in hotels and together nearly the entire time. The freshmen appear to be comfortable, and it’s showing, junior guard Tyra Buss said.

“We kind of build off of their energy,” Buss said. “To see them on the bench getting hype for us and getting really excited, shows a lot for our team. They are really excited for us, happy for us, and that’s how it should be.

Not only the players on the floor, but the people on the bench have to be happy too and they have to bring that energy.”

For some members of the bench and freshman

class, being energetic comes naturally. Moren says it is common of Foresman and Wickware to be a source of energy. As for Gulley, not so much. The guard from San Antonio, Texas, has put together a solid freshman campaign, maybe the most impressive of the three. She was in the starting lineup at the start of the season and against Michigan two weeks ago, but has embraced her role on the bench.

When the bench celebrations started for IU, it was Gulley leading the way. Her teammates followed, and it’s caught on. Moren said Gulley thrives under the lights of her home court.

“It’s funny, when the lights come on at Assembly Hall there’s another Ria Gulley that appears,” Moren said. “We don’t get to see that side of her often because

she’s in practice and if you travel with her, on the bus, playing with her, she’s very stoic. Most of the time she’s asleep, she loves her sleep.

There’s something about her being at Assembly Hall because she doesn’t bring that type of energy on the road.”

As the team gets set for the home stretch of the season, they will not only rely on its big three to get them to the NCAA Tournament.

The energy off of the bench will play a part. The contributions from the freshman group have not gone unnoticed.

“The freshmen have been really big,” Buss said. “They have grown this year and I’m really proud of them and how they’ve developed.

They’re really coming along and really helping us deep into this season.”
