Lawsuit asks for audit of BMV

INDIANA DAILY STUDENT | IDSNEWS.COM

By Daniel Metz dsmetz@indiana.edu | @DanielSMetz

As much as $60 million. As many as 4.5 million Hoosiers. As far back as 2002.

For Garrett Ashby, it was about $50 the day he got his driver’s license.

“I had to pay for the taxes on my first car,” said Ashby, a 22-year-old IU student from Noblesville, Ind. “I remember paying the taxes on the plate, they charge you a registration fee ... they just hit you with all of those. I remember walking out of there feeling like I had been robbed.”

The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles is alleged to have mistakenly overcharged Hoosiers tens of millions of dollars in the past few years.

In 2013, two class action lawsuits were filed against the BMV by Indianapolis-based law firm Cohen & Malad, LLP. The first lawsuit alleged the BMV overcharged Hoosier drivers under the age of 75 by as much as $29 million from at least 2007 until 2013 in mistaken fees and miscalculations in motor vehicle excise taxes.

The first lawsuit was settled in 2013 in the amount of $30 million and the BMV is repaying overcharged customers through refunds and credits with incurred interest.

The second lawsuit alleges the BMV overcharged as much as $38 million more, dating as far back as 2002. The combined total of alleged overcharges is an estimated $60 million.

Irwin Levin, the recipient of the 2013 Consumer Advocate of the Year award from the Indiana Trial Lawyers Association, is the attorney from Cohen & Malad, LLP who is working with the lawsuit on behalf of Indiana residents that were overcharged.

“Hoosiers’ ability to drive their cars cannot be held hostage to arbitrary fees imposed by the BMV,” Levin said in a press release. “The SEE BMV, PAGE 10

SLIDING INTO 6 IU wins 6th straight in home opener

Freshman’s speed propels IU past Eagles

Pitching led the way for IU on Tuesday to secure a win in the team’s first home game of the season.

In his first career start, IU freshman Brian Hobbie shut down the visiting Eagles of Eastern Michigan to help IU win 5-3 at Bart Kaufman Field.

He pitched four innings and allowed zero runs on one hit while striking out seven.

“I thought he was great, he just fatigued a little bit,” IU Coach Chris Lemonis said. “He probably hadn’t been out there as a reliever as much. We’ll try to get his pitch count up.”

Hobbie also picked up his first win of the year.

“Getting past the first inning and getting a zero, it really helps you out just mentally to have confidence,” Hobbie said. “It was nice just to be out in this atmosphere, all the fans cheering for you, it’s a lot different than the away games.”

Sophomores Thomas Belcher and Kent Williams combined in relief to pitch into the eighth where senior Luke Harrison took over and got his third save of the season.

“It’s nice to know if you can’t throw a lot of innings, throw a few good ones and you have a good bullpen behind you,” Hobbie said.

The scoring started early for the Hoosiers, as senior outfielder Will Nolden got an RBI on a groundout, followed by an RBI double from

As freshman third baseman Isaiah Pasteur sped through first base, he couldn’t help but feel good.

He was 2-for-2 in his first home game and had just beaten a throw to first base for an infield single in the fourth inning. But then he heard his first base coach Shawn Roof.

“Roof was definitely yelling at me to get down the line,” Pasteur said.

“Once I noticed it was a passed ball, though, I just went for it.”

By the time Pasteur realized the ball was up the right field line, the Eastern Michigan second baseman was positioning himself for a throw.

But Pasteur took off toward second base anyway. He beat the throw, but only after sliding a few feet past second base along the wet turf at Bart Kaufman Field.

“We haven’t really played out here in the rain much,” Pasteur said. “I’ve been told to slide early and I thought I did but I just kept going through the bag.”

Pasteur finished the game 2-for2 after adding a walk before senior Ricky Alfonso pinch hit for him in the seventh inning in IU’s 5-3 win Tuesday against Eastern Michigan.

Pasteur’s first hit was a two-out RBI double in IU’s two-run second inning.

“I really liked that first swing,” IU Coach Chris Lemonis said. “He stayed on that ball nice.”

The double was Pasteur’s first extra-base hit this season in his fourth start at third base. Entering the game he was hitting .231 with no extra base

Journalist talks about rape story IU alum Andrew West

talks making of ‘Walter’

By Alyson Malinger afmaling@indiana.edu | @aly_mali

After Florida State University quarterback Jameis Winston was let go of all charges related to the campus rape, journalist Walt Bogdanich stepped into a 1 1/2-year investigation about rape on college campuses.

Walt Bogdanich, three-time Pulitzer Prize winner and New York Times investigations editor and reporter, discussed investigating sexual assault on college campuses Tuesday at the Whittenberger Auditorium in the Indiana Memorial Union.

Bogdanich shared stories and lessons learned from starting his investigation of campus rape and why this field of journalism is necessary in this time of technological influence.

“Investigative journalists have a low threshold of indignation,” Bogdanich said. “Getting lashed out on is considered an occupational hazard.”

Bogdanich recalled the time he was part of a $6 billion lawsuit filed to him by a powerful company, according to Bogdanich, Philip Morris Cigarette Company. The company was suing him for libel for discussing

For Andrew West, Brenden Hill and Paul Shoulberg, the Wells-Metz Theatre is a place to reminisce.

Some places around the theater were old haunts for the alumni, and others were places they never had the chance to see during their time at IU. The three IU alumni hosted a free Q&A Tuesday about their feature-length film “Walter” that IU Cinema screened later the same day. The movie opens for a limited nationwide premiere Friday.

The alumni also talked extensively about the road from IU to where they are now in their careers.

“Walter” producer Hill, a 2006 IU Department of Theatre and Drama graduate, said he carried his memories of the University with him when he moved to Chicago the fall after graduation. While in Chicago he started a theater company named Purple Bench Productions

with three other IU alumni. The name, he said, came from the purple benches that now sit outside of the Wells-Metz Theatre.

“It represented this place where all the people I worked with and collaborated with would meet,” Hill said.

One of those people Hill worked with during his time at IU was Shoulberg, who was an MFA student in IU’s playwriting program while Hill was an undergraduate.

Hill said he really wanted Shoulberg to let him use one of his plays for Purple Bench Productions, but Shoulberg repeatedly turned Hill down. Shoulberg said he was really defensive of his work at the time because he had faced negative criticism in the past.

“I sat in a room writing tons of plays, but not letting anybody do anything with them,” he said.

His story fed into one of the main points the alumni made: you SEE WEST, PAGE 10

Students learn about health careers

By Brett Dworski bdworski@indiana.edu | @BrettD93

More than 100 representatives attended the 13th annual IU Bloomington Health Programs Fair on Tuesday to give students career advice and information.

The fair was organized by the IU Health Professions and Prelaw Center and cosponsored by many IU departments.

The representatives ranged from direct patient care, laboratory work, administration and information technology and had booths at the fair for students to explore their educational and career options, according to a press release.

Assistant Director of the IU Health Professions and Prelaw Center Rachel Tolen said the University wants to give students the chance to learn about a wide variety of health careers.

“We want students to learn about health care careers they haven’t encountered before,” she said.

Tolen said in a press release current college students grew up in a time when the whole country was engaged in the future of health care.

“Many seem to be drawn to health care careers because they want to directly make a difference in the lives of others,” she said in the release. “However, many initially think only of the most

prominent professions and don’t realize how many career options are available.”

She also said the fair acts as a great opportunity for students to learn about professional development.

“We’re trying to give students a better understanding of not only healthcare fields but also what it takes to get accepted into them,” she said.

“They’ll learn about different admissions processes and how to be a competitive applicant.”

Dan Kellenberger, assistant director of admissions, marketing and recruitment for the College of Osteopathic Medicine at Marian University in Indianapolis, said the fair is essential for organiza-

tions trying to build relationships and educate students about the different programs they offer.

“It’s important for students to get an early start in preparing for the future over the latter part of their college career,” he said.

Kellenberger said Marian has been to the fair multiple times in the past and it gets better each year.

“IU is one of our top schools for our incoming classes each year,” he said.

“This fair is important for us to inform our future applicants about our programs and our admission processes.”

IU sophomore Dalounny Homsab said she attended

the fair, where she became informed on the admissions processes for medical and dental programs and got a head start for her future.

“I want to get a feel for which program I would fit in best with,” she said. “Getting an idea of the school in general and what their campus is like is also a factor of exploring the programs.”

Homsab also said she wanted to gain a better perspective when it came to applying for the programs themselves compared to other applicants.

Tolen said their philosophy is to help each student define what he or she wants to achieve through a health care career.

The IU Student Association addressed the upcoming election at an IUSA Congress assembly meeting Tuesday.

Members voted to approve changes to the election code.

The election code now states that at least one allcandidate meeting will occur the week after ticket applications are due. Each ticket must have at least one representative present at the allcandidate meeting.

The election code now also states the election will occur during the spring semester on any two consecutive days occurring on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. The election must occur at least two weeks after the first all-candidate meeting.

Members of the elections commission and volunteers for the elections commission will run polling stations at at least three locations. This will likely happen near the Woodburn clock tower, near Dunn Meadow and on the corner of Fee Lane and Tenth Street.

The ballot will identify each ticket and provide a brief overview of each ticket’s platform.

Changes also include reforms to the elections commission.

Under the old system, the elections commission was not placed under any given branch.

The IUSA president selected the head of the elections commission, who then selected the other four members.

These members then remained part of the elections SEE IUSA, PAGE 9

BFC votes no on resolution about higher education

By Ashleigh Sherman aesherma@indiana.edu | @aesherma

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

The members voted to disapprove a resolution supporting the American Association of University Professors Centennial Declaration.

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

The association recently

released the AAUP Centennial Declaration, which asserts the main purpose of institutions of higher education is to contribute to the public good, not to the good of the institution or to the good of an individual faculty member affiliated with the institution.

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

The declaration further states that an individual faculty member should teach, research and address social disadvantage to disseminate knowledge and foster

creativity, rather than to make a profit for an individual faculty member, an institution of higher education or a third party.

The declaration also states that faculty should use information and communication technologies to improve the quality of teaching and research, rather than degrade it by reducing faculty-student contact time.

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

Members largely

expressed concerns in response to the wording used in the declaration and not to the sentiments expressed by the declaration.

“We polled our colleagues in the music school,” Jacobs School of Music Professor Jeffrey Hass said. “The answers we got back were, ‘We really hate the language, but we really feel like we should support this. Or, ‘We really hate the language, and we can’t support it.’”

Members particularly expressed concern regarding what they considered to be the use of inflammatory wording aimed at the corporate world.

Wise lecture to be met with opposition

By Bridget Murray bridmurr@indiana.edu @bridget_murray

Anti-racist educator Tim Wise will appear on campus today to spark conversation about racial privilege.

Union Board worked with the Black Law Students Association to bring Wise to IU. Kevin Kenes, director of the Fun and Adventure committee, said Union Board wants to act as a medium for the flow of opinions surrounding Wise’s lecture.

“He speaks about privilege and, more specifically, racial privilege and white privilege,” he said.

Marcus Cooke, the social action chair at the Maurer School of Law, said he wanted Wise’s message to be accessible to students.

“He has the unique perspective in that he understands the privileges he has as a white male,” he said.

However, not all students are receptive to his message.

Traditionalist Youth

Network at IU has planned a demonstration during Wise’s evening lecture.

Thomas Buhls, president of TradYouth at IU, said the organization aims to teach college-aged men and women about the radical traditional school of thought that he and TradYouth stand for as students.

Buhls said they adhere to traditional Christian values in Western society, and most members are white nationalists.

“We do believe that white people have an identity, that we have legitimate group interests and that we are more than just a proposition nation,” Buhls said. “Tim Wise, he sees fit to spend his professional career tearing all that down.”

Roughly 10 people are expected at the demonstration so far, Buhls said, bearing signs with sayings such as “Tim Wise, Full of Lies.”

“Bloomington, this is our backyard,” Buhls said.

“We live here. It’s absolutely

unthinkable that we would let him come here and spread his lies without opposition.”

Having seen Wise speak before, Buhls said Wise defames and vilifies the values of TradYouth.

“If you asked him what’s the white man got to be proud for, he’ll say, ‘Nothing,’” Buhls said.

Kenes said he personally understands the idea of white privilege and the backlash against it.

“Sometimes it’s a tough realization, that a lot of things you achieved in life might not be completely because you worked so hard for them,” he said. “There might be some underlying causes.”

Union Board remains unbiased and welcomes all student opinions, Kenes said, and therefore will not stop a demonstration unless it is disruptive of the event or attendees.

“As long as everybody remains peaceful and respective of the speaker, I don’t see why there would be a problem,”

“Race has been a system in the U.S. for 400 years; it’s not going to be eradicated in 50.”

Tim Wise, anti-racist educator

he said.

Cooke said it was good for organizations like this to bring their voice to the floor.

“It does show that there is a need for this dialogue,” he said. “Race has been a system in the U.S. for 400 years; it’s not going to be eradicated in 50 ... What does need to happen is conversations where everyone’s voice is included.”

Wise will two host lectures today, one at noon in the Maurer School of Law Courtroom and the other at 7 p.m. in the Whittenberger Auditorium at the Indiana Memorial Union. Both lectures are open and free to students and the public. Free tickets are still available for pickup in the Union Board office.

them to hit back,” said Sharlene Newman, professor in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences. “It seems like you’re confronting them and asking them to hit back.”

Members also expressed concern that endorsing the declaration would portray the University in a negative light.

“This would become public knowledge,” said Steve Sanders, an associate professor in the Maurer School of Law. “Words matter. One of my considerations in deciding whether to support this is, do I think that we would be helped or harmed if legislators, donors, parents,

More information For the full AAUP Centennial Declaration, go to aaupdeclaration.org. citizens, on whose goodwill we depend, whether some of us like this or not, saw this document ... I think we would be hurt.”

Approving the resolution would have meant endorsing the declaration and allowing the BFC president to sign it on the council’s behalf.

Though the council did not vote to approve of the resolution supporting the AAUP Centennial Declaration, individual faculty members are free to endorse the declaration.

ATF holds back new proposal

IDS FILE PHOTO

Firearms and related products were displayed and speakers discussed gun-related issues at the 143rd NRA Annual Meeting & Exhibits at the Indiana Convention Center on April 26, 2014.

By Daniel Metz dsmetz@indiana.edu | @DanielSMetz

A group of 53 Republican senators signed a letter protesting a new proposal by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives that would set guidelines to determine whether or not certain types of ammunition meet safety guidelines, the M855 “green tip” ammunition.

The ATF released a statement Tuesday that it would not seek to issue the final guidelines at the time.

Because of the 1986 Law Law Enforcement Officer Protection Act, certain types

of armor-piercing ammunition were banned to protect law enforcement officials but provided exemptions in cases of “sporting purposes.”

The ATF released a statement detailing the reasons for the guidelines, citing the Gun Control Act of 1968, which prohibits the import, manufacture and distribution of armor-piercing ammunition as a means with which to further regulate ammunition.

“Interpreting the meaning of this statutory language, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has developed a

framework that will apply to requests seeking a determination that certain projectiles qualify for this ‘sporting purpose’ exemption,” the agency said in their statement.

Miles Vining, the current head of Students for Concealed Carry on Campus at IU, was skeptical about the claims made by the ATF. “It’s one type of round, which the military happens to use,” Vining said.

“The ATF is saying that this is an armor-piercing round.

What their justification for that is that this is an armorpiercing round that can be fired from a handgun … and

that should be banned. That whole premise is a complete flaw and is illegitimate.”

Vining explained the M855 doesn’t exhibit vastly different properties than most ammunition on the market, and that this type of ammunition isn’t armor-piercing.

Sen. Dan Coats, RInd., said under the Second Amendment, gun owners should legally be able to obtain rifle ammunition for sporting purposes.

“Second Amendment rights require not only access to firearms but to bullets,” Coats said in a press release. “If law-abiding gun owners cannot obtain rifle ammunition or face substantial difficulty in finding ammunition available and at reasonable prices because government entities are banning such ammunition, then the Second Amendment is at risk.”

In the letter signed by the senators, they claim the ATF does not have the authority to regulate rifle ammunition in the way proposed.

In the letter it states, “No federal statute ... interferes with the ability of law-abiding citizens to obtain ammunition commonly used for such legitimate purposes as target shooting, hunting and shooting competitions.

Nor should any statute do so consistent with the Second Amendment.”

Money awarded to Indiana colleges From IDS reports

The Indiana Commission for Higher Education announced Tuesday that 12 Indiana colleges will receive portions of $1.8 million to expand programs aimed at helping low-income students graduate from college.

The colleges that will receive funding have committed to providing a variety of services to students with the funds.

The services include establishing a program to help first-year students transition to college and providing financial literacy training to students, among several other services.

The money will come from Indiana’s College Access Challenge Grant, a federal grant program that

aims to increase the number of low-income students who are prepared to enter and graduate from college.

Last week, the Commission on Higher Education said more Indiana high school students are academically ready for college.

Indiana Commissioner for Higher Education Teresa Lubbers said supporting students early in their college experience is an important aspect of making sure they graduate from college.

“Indiana has shifted its focus from making sure more students enroll in college to making sure students graduate with a degree that prepares them for a good job and life,” Lubbers said in a press release. “We’re pleased to provide this financial as-

sistance for colleges that are committed to supporting students who need it most, when they need it most: early in their college experience.”

The 12 colleges receiving funds to support student graduation are: IU-Bloomington $173,828 Calumet College of St. Joseph $115,776 Indiana State University $127,264 IU-East Richmond $54,508 IU-Kokomo

No one likes waking up at 8 a.m. and feeling like it’s still 7 a.m.

Since Indiana adopted Daylight Saving Time in 2006, Hoosiers moan and groan when their alarms sound before the sun comes up. Indiana residents aren’t alone.

This year, DST has gotten a large amount of national backlash. Major media outlets like the Atlantic and USA Today have called for an end to the custom. Even John Oliver released a segment entitled “Daylight Saving Time: How is this still a thing?” on his show, “Last Week Tonight.”

All of these news providers referenced Indiana when making their case.

The main reason DST was created was to conserve energy. Benjamin Franklin suggested the practice in 1784 as a means of saving candles. Germany was the first country to use DST in order to acquire fuel for the World War I war effort by cutting back on artificial light usage.

The problem is this: in today’s technologically advanced society, it’s difficult to determine whether energy is actually being conserved.

“Data on energy consumption at such a

fine-grained level are fairly hard to obtain,” said Zach Wendling, a doctoral candidate at the School of Public and Environmental Affairs with a focus on energy policy. “Energy savings in one area, like reducing lighting costs, are offset by increased consumption in other areas, like air conditioning.”

Wendling explained Indiana was the best state to get information from because, as one of the last states to switch over to DST, it provided the necessary data on the before-andafter effects of time change.

When the state adopted the practice, researchers looked closely at records from before and after the change and concluded Indiana actually experienced a 1-percent increase in energy consumption after the time change.

“Anyone who grew up in the ’70s definitely associates Daylight Saving with a push to conserve energy,” Wendling said. “Every year people are surprised to learn that the energy savings are kind of an illusion, or not what they’re cracked up to be. Most people just enjoy having the extra hour in the evening, which isn’t as quantifiable a benefit as energy conservation.”

This negligible difference in energy use is evident even on IU’s campus, said Mark Menefee, the assistant

director of the IU Bloomington Utilities Division.

“At IUB we may see some energy savings due to the fact the hottest part of the day is moved one hour later, which can help us on peak load since campus starts emptying out around 4 p.m.,” Menefee said. “But the total kilowatt usage on cooling may go up with increased air conditioning usage in the dorms in the evening.”

Along with no meaningful decrease in energy consumption, the lack of sleep combined with the extra hour of darkness during morning commutes have shown to increase traffic accidents.

“I bike to campus, so the mile-or-so ride is in the dark now, which is worse and more dangerous, especially in the rain,” said Megan Burger, an IU student with an 8 a.m. class. “It also makes it tougher to wake up in the morning.”

Regardless of few energy-saving benefits, dark mornings and car crashes, many people, like Burger, are still happy to set their clocks back.

“Mornings are slow whether or not there is light,” Burger said. “I have work or class in the morning, so I cannot take advantage of the light like I can in the evenings, so I like having it then more.”

Weather causes drop in revenue

By Brian Gamache bgamache@indiana.edu | @brgamache

The state tax revenue report released Thursday showed shortfalls that could affect the state budget.

The revenue report showed a $1.9 million shortfall for February which could potentially force the General Assembly to re-evaluate projected spending during the second half of this year’s session.

“Due to severe winter weather that affected Hoosiers all across the state, this revenue report was not unexpected,” Gov. Mike Pence said in a statement. “Our administration is confident that we will be able to manage budgetary resources in a way that preserves Indiana’s fiscal integrity.”

Though a single month of shortfalls does not have a significant effect on the overall budget, this month’s report fits into a pattern of faulty revenue predictions.

Budget projections have consistently overestimated revenue collection for the last fiscal year, with six out of the past eight months showing budget shortfalls, according to data from the Indiana Department of Revenue’s website.

House Bill 1001, the state budget, is currently being debated in the Senate Appropriations Committee. The pattern of revenue shortfalls could press the Senate to rein in spending on the House plan.

“You might see me be a little more cautious than the House,” Sen. Luke Kenley said. “I’m concerned that when April shows up, that if we had to make a lot of cuts at that time, it could be a lot of pressure on everybody.”

The Senate Appropriations Committee, chaired

by Kenley, will use the new predictions to make determinations on the House budget.

The Senate budget will be tighter than the House budget, with particular interest in items that would permanently become part of the budget, Kenley said in the first Senate budget hearing.

A new budget is to be approved by the legislature every two years, according to Indiana state law.

A major budget consideration under question this year is school funding

formulas, which could be disrupted by the revenue reports.

Projected revenue collections are used by legislators to determine government spending for the next year.

Shortfalls could threaten existing programs and inaccurate predictions could lead to budget shortfalls and programs being underfunded as the year goes on.

The majority of the shortfall was the result of poor income and sales tax collections, the report reads.

Income tax revenues were $6.6 million below estimates and sales tax revenues were $19.2 million below estimates.

The revenue blow was softened somewhat by overperforming corporate tax collections, which came in at $20.7 million above projections.

The overall State general fund contained $754.2 million, $37.0 million more than in February 2014.

This brings total state budget shortfalls to $90 million for the fiscal year.

The revenue report follows a State Budget Agency budget revision in December that, though predicting growth for 2015, lowered revenue estimates for the year from earlier predictions.

The budget will not be finalized until April, when the last revenue predictions for the year are released by the Department of Revenue.

State general fund revenues for February were $745.4 million, which is $1.9 million (0.3 percent) below the estimate based on the Dec. 18, 2014, revised forecast.

Sales tax collections were $535.6 million for February, which is $19.2 million (3.5 percent) below the monthly estimate.

Individual income tax collections totaled $124.1 million for the month, which is $6.6 million (5.1 percent) below the revised monthly estimate.

Theft reported at Big Red Liquors From IDS reports

By Annie Garau

uncollected blood and platelet donations in February due to severe weather across 27 states.

Bloomington residents can donate blood from 12-6 p.m. today at the Bloomington Blood Donation Center at 1600 W. Third St.

A manager at the Big Red Liquors located on Second and Walnut streets reported a theft at about 3:30 a.m. Monday.

An individual entered the store, and the manager recognized him from previous shoplifting and theft

incidents, Capt. Joe Qualters said.

The manager saw the man pick up a bottle of Hennessy Cognac from a shelf. Later, he approached the counter with a friend, who paid for his items.

The two then left the store.

The manager took

inventory of the bottles after the man left and determined one was missing, Qualters said.

The police were unsuccessful in locating the man and Big Red Liquors opted to not press charges, Qualters said.

Ominous voice saves infant in flipped car An 18-month-old infant survived a car crash into a river in Utah on Friday night, according to CNN. The baby, Lily, remained above the frigid waters, strapped to her car seat. Lily’s mother, Lynn Jennifer Groesbeck, died at

the scene, but rescuers heard an ominous voice calling for help when they entered the scene 14 hours after the crash occurred. They claimed to distinctly hear an adult’s voice.

Police have no explanation for the crash.

EDITORIAL BOARD

SHRACK BITES

To pay or not to pay Actress Emma Watson has been doing multiple interviews recently to promote the HeForShe campaign, which promotes gender equality.

In a recent interview, she was asked about the relationship between feminism and dating. This involved a question about if she would let a man pay for her dinner.

She explained she enjoys it when a man pays for her dinner, but she also takes the initiative to pay as well.

In my own dating life, I have encountered this same situation, where my feminist beliefs and offers to pay have thrown off a man’s “paying game.”

It is through these instances where breaking the gender stereotype sparks great conversation and promotes gender equality.

During a recent date, the waiter approached our table and placed the check. I immediately grabbed it and placed my credit card into the holder to pay for the whole dinner. My date appeared to be confused and asked me why I wouldn’t allow for him to pay for the dinner.

I told him it was not that I wouldn’t allow him to pay for my dinner, but I enjoyed the date and wanted to do a nice gesture to thank him for it. He seemed pleasantly surprised.

Suddenly, paying for dinner was no longer about gender roles of power or a sense of obligation. It was about both people wanting to give a polite gesture.

On a previous date with a different man, I offered to pay

for the whole dinner and he immediately was offended.

He stated it was the man’s job to pay for dates, no matter the situation.

However, if both people have jobs and make their own money, there is no reason one person should be obligated to consistently pay for dates.

I observe more women also trying to break this stereotype in the dating world by offering to pay for the meal. It appears our generation is in a transition period between old-fashioned gender roles and gender equality.

This transition can be a struggle for men who were raised to believe financial power was essential to masculinity.

I have seen this struggle when a man chose to stop seeing me because he felt guilty about not having enough money to take me out on dates.

He said my offering to pay for our dates made him feel uncomfortable and insecure as a man.

It was not my intention to make him feel uncomfortable or insecure. It was to enjoy his company without causing him to struggle more financially.

It was about being polite.

However, the struggle through the transition will help us appreciate gender equality as the movement progresses. So ladies, keep paying for those dates. eshrack@indiana.edu

IT’S A MAD, MAD WORLD

Sometimes, the customer is wrong If you can’t take the equality, get out of the locker room.

That’s basically what Planet Fitness told Yvette Cormier, a Michigan woman, when she made a hoopla about a trans woman in the locker room, according to CNN. Cormier claims she brought her concerns to the front desk Feb. 28 at her local gym when she spotted a fellow gym member, who she said looked like a man, in the women’s locker room.

After being told the “nojudgment” policy the corporation has in place that lets members use facilities based on “their sincere, selfreported gender identity,” she called Plant Fitness’ corporate headquarters to continue her complaint. Headquarters gave her the same answer, citing their policy.

Planet Fitness wouldn’t have ended Cormier’s membership had she not taken the matter into her own hands.

Cormier then went back to the gym four days in a row “to get the word out” to other women about Planet Fitness’ policy of “let(ing) men in the women’s locker room.”

“Every day I said, ‘Just so you know, there’s a man they allow in this locker room, and they don’t tell you that when you sign up,’” she said.

That’s when her membership was canceled. If we correctly analyze the situation, Cormier’s complaints to management aren’t enough to revoke her membership.

Personally, I would have booted her butt to the curb the moment she claimed someone else’s gender identity become a threat to her “safety.” But as Director of Public Relations at Planet Fitness Corporate McCall Gosselin said, “We welcome all feedback from our members.”

However, her grotesque behavior at the gym, which harms other gym members, was enough for Planet Fitness to end the membership.

Cormier was later quoted saying, “If you have male parts, you don’t need to be in the women’s locker room.

I don’t care what you are; I don’t care if you’re gay, lesbian, transgender or transvestite. I am uncomfortable with you as a male in my locker

room, in my restroom.”

Good thing it’s not your locker room, Cormier. In fact, it was never your locker room. You’re a customer using a business’s locker room, and if you don’t like their rules, you can take your money elsewhere. That’s how capitalism works.

I don’t care if you’re a straight “mother of two” who’s more worried about your own ease than someone else’s safety. I am uncomfortable with you as a chauvinist transphobe in my country.

I would like to point out that not once did Cormier voice concerns for the safety of the trans woman in question. According to the 2011 NCAVP Hate Violence Report, 44 percent of reported hate murders targeted transgender women, with trans women representing only 10 percent of total hate violence survivors and victims.

I’m positive someone who’s at risk of some of the highest rates of violence in this country has more concerns about being in the right locker room than you.

We’re going to have to deal with bigots like Cormier who think they’re entitled to their idiotic opinions because they’re paying for a service. It’s enough to make your blood boil, but anger toward ignorant people is as useful as a hole in the head.

Instead, let’s focus on Planet Fitness and its phenomenal handling of the situation.

Not only did it have a policy implemented beforehand that supported trans folk and other gender nonbinary people, but it nipped Cormier’s transphobic campaign around the gym in the butt.

Take note, bigots. Forward-thinking companies don’t want your business.

And the more steps we take toward equality, the fewer establishments will be open that have the same closed-minded ideas as you. maehogan@indiana.edu

Walking a dividing line WE SAY: We have a ways to go with Ferguson This past Saturday marked the 50th anniversary of the Bloody Sunday march in Selma, Ala., a day when county officials authorized the savage beating of hundreds of black protesters. Since then, the voting rights of oppressed groups have improved — but by how much, exactly?

Ferguson, Mo., is the brightestburning contemporary battle of American racial conflict.

While fights between the black and white were unfortunately commonplace throughout the 20th century, many Americans believe tensions of this nature have been eradicated.

This sense of finality is not only false, it undermines the work brave individuals are continuing to dedicate their lives to.

A recent investigation by the Justice Department unearthed communication between Ferguson police officers that could be described most tamely as disturbing, littered with exploitive racial language.

Attorney General Eric Holder stated a “highly toxic environment” existed between the Ferguson police and black residents long before Michael Brown was shot and killed by Officer Darren

Wilson this past year.

It seems as though a sea of statistics has flooded the media coverage of Ferguson.

A couple of the most startling numbers highlight the disproportionate treatment of black residents by police officers: while 67 percent of the Ferguson population is black, they made up 93 percent of the people arrested in the past three years, according to the Justice Department Review.

During the 2013 voting period, only 6 percent of black Ferguson residents participated, compared to 17 percent of white residents, according to the Washington Post.

Personal accounts help give a face to these daunting statistics.

In the summer of 2012, a 32-yearold black man was cooling off in his car after a basketball game in a public park only to be approached by a suspicious officer.

Demanding the man show his Social Security card and identification, the officer quickly accused him of being a pedophile.

Held at gunpoint, the man refused, resulting in the officer arresting him on eight charges — all nitpicked.

According to the Justice Department review, this man lost his job as a federal contractor as a result of these charges.

Many black Ferguson residents feel the local city is using them as its personal ATM, a source of easy revenue.

One woman has paid $550 on what was originally a $151 fine for two parking tickets, and more than seven years later, she still owes the city $541.

The Justice Department has also issued a 26-item statement of steps the city should take to address these racial disparities.

However, this statement is weakened by a lack of any legal enforcement.

Many Americans may feel Ferguson has garnered enough attention; however, the Editorial Board believes this is a major oversight.

Ferguson is just one example of an incredibly broken system, and it is not difficult to believe similar cases exist throughout the country.

In this instance, complacency is equivalent to tolerance, and the horrible injustices present in Ferguson must never be allowed.

SHELLING IT OUT

A disgusting display of bigotry caught on tape Greek life’s reputation got a little more battered this week when a video posted to YouTube on Sunday depicted University of Oklahoma Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity members chanting racial slurs.

The 10-second video features several alleged Sigma Alpha Epsilon members chanting, “There will never be a n***** SAE. You can hang ‘em from a tree, but they’ll never sign with me, there will never be a n***** SAE.” According to KOCO News in Oklahoma, the national SAE organization closed the chapter late Sunday night, and two of the students responsible were expelled by the university for their role in the video.

Oklahoma University was right to expel these students for their despicable actions.

These men do not represent what it means to be a part of a greek organization.

On Morning morning, Oklahoma President David Boren released a statement in which he said those that

have misused their freedom of speech are “disgraceful.”

“You have violated all that we stand for,” Boren said.

“Real Sooners are not racist.

Real Sooners are not bigots.

Real Sooners treat all people with respect.”

Boren’s statement went on to note the severing of ties between SAE and the university. “We will be an example to the entire country of how to deal with this issue,” he said.

“There must be zero tolerance for racism everywhere in our nation.”

Knowing the National SAE organization took it upon themselves to suspend the chapter for no shorter than four years is what I see to be a reflection of humanity and decency.

Because of a few brothers’ careless actions, an entire chapter has been removed from Oklahoma’s campus, and it’s not to return in the near future.

Nationals had the opportunity to simply deactivate those students from the

chapter and leave the school to decide academic consequences, but instead, an example was made out of the entire house by removing them altogether, which I believe was the right decision.

As a member of the greek community at IU, I understand how situations like this unfortunately reflect poorly on all greek chapters.

It’s all too common for the reckless actions of one chapter to suggest the intent of the majority.

Although a few bigoted and inconsiderate men decided to sink the reputation of their chapter on Oklahoma’s campus, I still believe greek life serves as a positive outlet for people to give back to their communities and be surrounded by other diverse and supportive chapters.

Take, for instance, the passing of Theta Phi Alpha sister Amanda Ludwig this past weekend.

Although the majority of greek members were unable to know what an effect she had made in the short

time she was in her chapter, the community is coming together tonight for a candlelight vigil to pay their respects to an individual taken from us way too soon.

That, to me, is what greek life is all about — supporting each other for our differences, praising each other for our accomplishments and being there for support during tough times.

And it’s certainly not about putting others down or excluding them altogether just because of differences such as race.

I am proud of Oklahoma for addressing these racist actions with such poise and professionalism. One can hope both greek chapters and otherwise will finally learn the severity of speaking recklessly and start accepting others for their differences. snvanden@indiana.edu

Second grader coming to school in torn clothing Dear editor, Recently, while substitute-teaching a second-grade special education class, I asked a girl student if she needed to remove her heavy coat.

Eventually she did, and it revealed big holes in her dress and full leg socks.

After class I asked a regular teacher about this student.

She immediately responded, “Does she need a bath?” I answered, “No, but her clothing has holes.”

This teacher said they have sent

clothes home with her, but they never see them again.

Later that day, I saw this beautiful child in the hallway and had to hide my tears, but I can’t erase it from my heart.

Should the elementary school create an in-school changing station for those with ragged and torn clothing, similar to extra clothing for bathroom accidents?

A continuation of a child arriving at school with questionable dress and lack of personable cleanliness

would warrant a meeting with parents and a school official. No improvement gets a child welfare intervention call. Can you imagine the low self-esteem that is snowballing in this child?

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Toilet stalls are private spaces, not rape education centers.

Recently, an updated policy on sexual violence was released by University officials.

It seems the posters may need to be updated to include new information.

I propose a modest solution to the issue of forcing men and women to look at a sexual assault policy while sitting on the toilet: move the posters from the toilet stalls to the general bathroom areas.

Move them any place where I don’t have to be half-naked.

In general the campus continues to make great efforts to educate students about sexual violence.

However, the posters seem reflective of a few administrators who are

more concerned with enforcing policies than appealing to sensibilities.

I believe these administrators have an authentic desire to be helpful and represent the University in a positive light, yet policies that invade a person’s privacy reflect poorly on the decision-making of the administrators responsible.

It seems unlikely that someone who understands trauma would advocate for such a policy.

Who is creating these policies, and what are they thinking?

My advice is to rethink who is making the decisions to address sexual violence. Perhaps including those who understand trauma is a good start.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

March: National nutrition month Dear Editor, Balancing your schedule between classes, studying, friends, work and maybe even sleep, you may not give much thought to what your next meal will be. But before you grab that cheeseburger or pepperoni pizza, remember that what you put into your body today can set the stage for the rest of your life.

With March being National Nutrition Month, now is a good time to focus on making informed food choices.

Recently, the nation’s top health and nutrition experts made recommendations for the country’s upcoming 2015 dietary guidelines.

That Advisory Committee’s recommendations highlighted our country’s “suboptimal” dietary patterns.

Our eating behaviors have contributed to more than twothirds of adults and one-third of children becoming overweight or obese.

Diet recommendations can be misrepresented to the public thanks to the work of certain food interest groups that are more focused on selling their product than furthering public health.

We’ve been told to follow low-fat diets, high-protein diets and everything in between.

Despite the flood of products catering to these types of diets in the grocery store aisles and restaurants, research indicates more Americans are becoming overweight or obese and getting sicker each year.

However, the 2015 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee made strong, clear recommendations that show the least amount of political influence we’ve seen in decades.

Their advice? Adopt a plant-strong diet, meaning more fruits and vegetables and fewer animal products.

We need to put the emphasis back on whole, minimally processed foods, the best type of fuel to look and feel great now, while protecting you for years to come.

And you can start making small, effective changes right now.

Though the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics encourages us to “bite into a healthy lifestyle,” the first bite could be to join the global Meatless Monday movement.

Choosing to take a weekly holiday from meat is an easy way to enjoy more plant-strong meals.

As college dining services are offering more meatless options every day, some are dedicating entire dining halls to meatless meals.

The University of North Texas, for example, was first in the nation to offer a meat-free dining hall with the majority of diners not vegetarian or vegan, but simply wanting delicious, satisfying, healthier meals.

Choosing meatless meals is easy on our time and wallets.

At home, these meals can be prepared using a microwave, can opener, blender and

Lie of the e-cigarette Like many Americans, I was skeptical when I started to see e-cigarettes gaining traction in mainstream use.

I thought there was no possible way tobacco companies had found a way to make a harmless cigarette, and the American people were once again being duped. While I had my hesitations, I never really had the research or knowledge to say anything about it.

Until today, that is. I recently found a study conducted by James Pankow, a professor of chemistry and civil environmental engineering at Portland State University in Oregon. This study found that e-cigarette vapor contains cancer-causing formaldehyde at levels up to 15 times higher than regular cigarettes.

The leader of this study found that formaldehyde, a chemical more commonly used in mortuaries as an embalming fluid, was released at higher volumes as users upped the voltage on their devices. This means users of e-cigarette drippers, notorious for giving the user the ability to customize the product, are the most at-risk as they generally control the amount of liquid as well as the heat.

While this is certainly meant to be a warning to those who use this kind of product, I honestly don’t think this information should cause people to swear off e-cigarettes forever.

I’ve always held that moderation is key when it comes

Kevin Jackson is a senior in English.

to things like nicotine. I think Americans tend to have a very all-or-nothing view concerning outside substances, as in someone can only be a nonsmoker or smoke a pack a day.

This completely ignores the middle ground, that healthy area of human discipline where a person can partake in a substance now and again without completely throwing himself into it.

As such, I think users of e-cigarettes need to understand there will never be a completely healthy alternative to smoking. It’s just too much to ask out of a product that is simply a horrible thing to put in your body.

That being said, I also think the rest of America needs to realize doing something unhealthy now and again isn’t the end of the world.

Is it advisable to intake more e-cigarette vapor than air in an average week?

Obviously not, but this doesn’t mean getting a little buzz after a hard day at work will instantly give the person cancer. The key, as I’ve said a hundred times before, is having the wherewithal to put the e-cigarette down on an average day and realize a buzz should be considered a treat, not a daily privilege. kevsjack@indiana.edu

ONE MORE THOUGHT

Standing with Israel

Panties down, posters up It has been six months since IU announced it would place more than 6,000 posters with sexual violence definitions and resources in bathrooms across campus.

These posters have been placed in spaces that force you to interface with them.

No toilet stall is safe from a University definition of sexual assault.

Can we please rethink this strategy?

I find sexual violence a very troubling issue on this campus and support informing as many people as possible about University policies related to sexual violence, but I find it equally troubling that a person could walk into a toilet stall, pull down their underwear, and be forced to read about sexual violence.

JUMPING JACKSON

stove or hot plate.

Fill up on protein-rich foods like a zesty bean and rice bowl, Mediterranean flatbread with hummus and olives, potato and chickpea curry, white bean chili or vegetable lo mein.

The benefits of a plant-strong diet reach even beyond our own personal health.

The Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee reported that a diet higher in animal-based foods leads to increased greenhouse gas emissions, land use, water use and energy use.

That’s right — choosing more meatless meals helps protect the environment as well as your own health.

Reducing meat consumption also reduces the number of animals exposed to inhumane factory farms practices.

This is why the Humane Society of the United States embraces the Three Rs of eating: “reducing” or “replacing” consumption of animal products and “refining” our diets by choosing products from sources that adhere to higher animal welfare standards.

Improving our own health — and the health of the planet — can be overwhelming.

But in this case, we have the potential to make a significant difference one bite at a time.

Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu gave a speech to congress last week.

By the end of it, I was sure of one thing. We need to get our stance on Israel correct.

Talking about Israel is always controversial. What I am about to say will probably be no different, but I believe it needs said.

I think there are two very dangerous sentiments I continually see in my peers and others. The first involves the idea of a two-state solution and the second involves Iran.

Let me begin with the second one. Iran is a state sponsor of terrorism. There are only four countries currently designated as state sponsors of terrorism by the United States State Department: Cuba, Sudan, Syria and Iran.

In order to receive this designation, a country must have — and I quote from the State Department — “repeatedly provided support for acts of international terrorism.”

According to the State Department, Iran continues to provide “support for Palestinian terrorist groups in Gaza and for Hizballah. It has also increased its presence in Africa and attempted to smuggle arms to Houthi separatists in Yemen and Shia oppositionists in Bahrain.”

So my question is, why on Earth would we ever trust Iran? Why would we assume a nation that has been supporting global terrorism since 1984 would suddenly change once it develops nuclear technology?

No deal should ever be given to Iran until it radically changes who it is and what it supports. There should be no way around it. Cripple Iran with sanctions, shun it from the international community and make it clear it stands alone. In the choice between Israel and Iran, there should never be a choice.

Now to the difficult question of a two-state solution.

I do not support a two-state solution. I am unapologetic about it, and there are two clear reasons why.

The first reason is historical. In 1948, when the state

Cameron Gerst is a junior in finance.

of Israel was created, several Arab nations attacked and took control of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. That is the land often referred to as Palestine today.

However, in 1967 a group of Arab Nations including Egypt, Jordan and Syria attacked again. This time they lost, and Israel regained control of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, as well as the Saini Peninsula, East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights.

The conflict is more complex than I am making it seem, and I hope you will research this issue yourself.

If not, please remember that when you have groups calling for the liberation of Palestine or the Gaza Strip, that is territory the Arab world lost in a war it started.

The second reason has to deal with the current government of so-called Palestine.

The Gaza Strip and the West Bank are effectively controlled

by Hamas, which was democratically elected. The group has been in power since 2007.

Although non-terrorist governments have been created, they never last. The most recent example was at the end of last year.

If you are thinking Hamas sounds familiar, you’re right.

It is one of the reasons Iran is considered a State Sponsor of Terrorism. I quote from the State Department again, “Iran has historically provided weapons, training, and funding to Hamas.”

Let me summarize. We are currently negotiating with a country that sponsors terrorism, the same kind of terrorism that brought our nation to halt in 2001. Many are also advocating for the creation of a Palestinian state run by a terrorist government on the land they lost in a war it started.

And yet there are those who still think Israel is the problem. cgerst@indiana.edu

SIMPLICITY WITH SEYMOUR

Citizens need to start paying attention to oceanic acidification Ocean acidification is the process in which carbon dioxide emissions dissolve into seawater. This causes some pretty nasty side effects, including a decreasing pH that, in turn, makes the Global Ocean more acidic.

It’s no question we emit too much carbon dioxide, and the obvious response to the problem is to emit less. The response is hackneyed for a reason. It’s the best and cheapest.

So much carbon dioxide gets into our oceans because it readily dissolves in water.

The carbon dioxide must then exist in equilibrium with other compounds. Then hydrogen ions are released into the water. It’s these hydrogen ions that lower pH. It’s simple; less carbon dioxide equals less hydrogen ions, which causes less of an effect on pH. Arguments against the reduction of carbon dioxide

emissions reasons that reducing emissions only lengthens the demise of our oceans. But like desserts, carbon dioxide would be fine in moderation.

Primary producers, or phytoplankton, in the oceans take in dissolved carbon dioxide and use it to produce food and oxygen byproduct.

Though these organisms take in about 30 to 40 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions, they have a limit — and

increasing surface temperatures from the same carbon dioxide lowers the ocean’s pH and makes it less hospitable.

So now reduced emissions are having a compounding effect: lower emissions reduce the rate of global warming, which makes the surface temperatures friendlier for the phytoplankton. Reproduction of the phytoplankton increases their numbers and the rate at which they can then take in

carbon dioxide and bring the pH to balance.

If we don’t change our ways, we’re only going to be hurting ourselves. Among the hardest regions hit in the United States is the Northwest, where shellfisheries are prominent. Lowered pH stops shellfish from producing the calcium carbonate that makes up their shells. This creates smaller shellfish populations and smaller catch for the

shellfisheries. Even worse, it affects the food chain.

It’s unrealistic to think carbon dioxide emissions can be cut out completely, but if enough people can make a small change, we can expect to see a healthier sea. briseymo@indiana.edu

Jacobs to host composer for guest lecture From IDS reports

SCOTT TENEFRANCIA | IDS

FAST FINGERS Ko Woon Lee performs during her Performer Diploma Recital in Auer Hall on Tuesday. The recital took place during her third year as a master’s student at the Jacobs School of Music.

Music students will get the opportunity to hear from guest lecturer and composer Keeril Makan.

At 4 p.m. today, Makan will speak at Ford-Crawford Hall in the Jacobs School of Music.

Makan was raised in New Jersey by parents of South African, Indian and Russian Jewish descent. After training as a violinist, he received degrees in composition and religion from Oberlin and completed his doctorate in composition at the University of California, Berkeley. He also studied in Helsinki and Paris.

The New Yorker described Makan as “an arrestingly gifted young American composer,” and he is also depicted as “consistently stimulating” by the New York Times. The Boston Globe said Makan is a composer “whose music deserves to be more widely heard,” according to the Jacobs School of Music website.

He is a recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and the Luciano Berio Rome Prize from the American Academy in Rome, which is the oldest American overseas center for independent study and advanced research in the arts and humanities. Each year, through a national juried competition, the Academy offers approximately 30 Rome Prize fellowships, according to the American Academy in Rome website.

KEERIL MAKAN 4 p.m. today, Ford-Crawford Hall Makan has also received awards from the American Academy of Arts and Letters; the Fromm Music Foundation; Meet the Composer; the Aaron Copland House; the Utah Arts Festival; the Fulbright Program; and the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers.

His work has been commissioned by the Bang on a Can All-Stars, American Composers Orchestra, Harvard Musical Association and Carnegie Hall, among others.

His CDs “In Sound,” “Target” and “Afterglow” include performances by the Kronos Quartet, Either/Or and the International Contemporary Ensemble.

His opera “Persona,” written for Alarm Will Sound and produced by Beth Morrison, is an adaptation of Ingmar Bergman’s classic film with libretto and direction by Jay Scheib. “Persona” is described as a provocative, highly cerebral and artistically complex depiction of human frailty, cruelty and identity, according to the Beth Morrison Projects’ website.

Makan lives in Cambridge, Mass., where he is an associate professor of music at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

After touring from coast to coast in support of their new album, “Runners in the Nerved World,” The Sidekicks finish off their tour back home in the Midwest.

The Columbus, Ohio, band play the final show of their tour tonight at the Bishop Bar. Philadelphia band Cayetana, a girl group that has accompanied The Sidekicks on more than half the tour, is on the lineup. Local band Nice Try is also slated as an opening act.

Steve Ciolek, lead vocalist and guitarist for The Sidekicks, said he didn’t really know how to describe their live show besides being “just fun.”

“It’s a pretty loose atmosphere,” he said. “We don’t light anything on fire, but maybe we will.”

Although “Runners in the Nerved World” is the band’s fourth full-length album, Ciolek said their live set lists tend to stick to songs from that album and their 2012 album “Awkward Breeds.”

“We’ve just been a band for quite a while because we started in high school,” he said. “So we have a bunch of songs, but they’re not really relevant to our

lives anymore.”

The songs the Sidekicks play from their new album are a lot of fun because Ciolek said they take on a more energetic form when they perform live in front of a crowd.

The band released “Runners in the Nerved World” in January through Epitaph Records, and Ciolek said this is probably the first time they have released an album through a label where more than one person worked on their project.

“Just hearing that somebody is having a meeting about your album is strange, but also nice because it’s like, ‘Well at least we know that they’re working on this and doing their best to get it out to people,’” Ciolek said.

“Runners in the Nerved World” is also the first album Ciolek said the band has worked with a professional producer. In the past, the band typically asked a friend of theirs to produce their albums. For the new album the band worked with producer Phil Ek, who has worked on albums such as The Cave Singers’ “Naomi” and Fleet Foxes’ “Helplessness Blues.”

Ciolek said working with Ek is one aspect of “Runners in the Nerved World” that makes the album feel more complete than the band’s

THE SIDEKICKS Tickets $10 9:30 p.m. Wednesday, The Bishop, 18+ previous albums.

“It was nice to have someone who wasn’t a friend be in on the whole process,” he said. “He wasn’t afraid to say when we were doing something that wasn’t cool or wasn’t working.”

The style of music on the new album is mostly pop, Ciolek said. The band committed itself to trying to make more of a pop album, he said, and the production sounds like what would be found on a pop-rock album from the 1970s.

Ciolek said the idea behind “Runners in the Nerved World” came from personal life experiences and the experiences of his friends. He said he wanted to write an album about people who are done “growing up.”

The characters in the album aren’t having any more obviously new life experiences, so they try to simulate the feeling by meeting new people, going to new places or using mind-altering drugs.

“It’s sort of simulating that movement, but in the end it’s ending right back where they began,” Ciolek said.

Water polo defeats Michigan over weekend The IU women’s water polo team won its final game of the 2015 Fluid Five tournament Sunday in Bloomington. The win improves IU to an 8-7 record, including 3-2 at home.

Seniors Shelby Taylor, Collen McNaught and

Rebecca Gerrity and freshman Kelly Matthews led the team with two goals each. Senior Alexis Jones had the game-winning goal.

Next up, IU travels to the Aztec Invite in San Diego.

TRACK AND FIELD

Assistant coach develops IU success

By Taylor Lehman trlehman@indiana.edu | @trlehman_IU

Eleven All-Americans.

Six Big Ten champions.

Eighteen national qualifiers.

IU’s pole vaulters and heptathletes have earned many accolades throughout the past 10 seasons. Even as students arrived and graduated, recognition kept finding the IU program.

The lone constant was one man: their coach, Jake Wiseman.

The Hoosier pole vault and heptathlon squads have exploded their way into national contention this season and are sending three athletes to the NCAA Indoor Championships this weekend, the most in program history.

Junior pole vaulter Sophie Gutermuth and junior heptathletes Stephen Keller and Dylan Anderson all placed top-16 in the nation in their respective events and all improved on their top-10 marks.

Gutermuth broke the school record with a vault of 4.24 meters.

“Jake (Wiseman) is half the reason I came here,” Gutermuth said. “He’s always super positive and super encouraging, and those are the two main things. I was verbally committed to somewhere else, and he was a big reason why I made my decision to come here.”

Wiseman is in his 10th year coaching the Hoosiers, a tenure that began after his IU track career came to an end in 2005.

As an athlete, he set the fifth-best heptathlon score in IU history with 5.243 points and was named second-team All-Big Ten. Once IU Coach Ron Helmer rejoined the program as the head coach in 2007, he retained Wiseman from the previous staff and has kept him as his assistant coach ever since.

“It’s one thing to be

productive when a highlevel athlete or two comes through and then leaves,” Helmer said. “But he consistently gets the job done, and that is what you look for in a coach.”

Since 2005, 18 men’s top10 records and 21 women’s top-10 records have been set between Wiseman’s indoor and outdoor events. These include 2013 Bowerman award-winner Derek Drouin leading the indoor men’s heptathlon and 2014 graduate Kelsie Ahbe topping the women’s outdoor pole vault.

Five of those top-10 records have been set this season.

“With this group, what they bring every day is how competitive they are,” Wiseman said. “We always try to bring to practice a ‘Who won today’s practice?’ mentality, and that helps with them getting better and better every day. That’s some-

thing I’ll always remember about this group, their competitiveness.”

Competition is what has defined both Keller’s and Anderson’s seasons, as they have leap-frogged each other on the top-10 list both times they competed against each other this year.

Keller sits second in school history, and Anderson sits fourth.

“I trust him completely,” Anderson said about Wiseman. “He makes it to where I don’t have to think. I just listen to what he says, and just go for it.”

Keller and Anderson are the first All-American heptathletes in IU history, ranking 10th and 16th respectively going into the NCAA Indoor Championships.

The only other heptathletes to qualify for nationals in IU history are Derek Drouin in 2013 and Wiseman in 2005.

High jump specialist Drouin scratched the heptathlon to focus on his high jump competition, in which he won the national championship with a jump of 2.35 meters.

Wiseman acknowledges and accepts that athletes he coaches can be better than him. The first athlete to help him realize this was Drouin, who now competes for the Canadian national team.

He maintains this humble mindset with current athletes he coaches.

“It’s important to remember that these guys trained with Drouin,” Wiseman said. “It really set a good mindset, and that’s how they came into this season. It’s given them a competitive feel in practice.”

Junior pole vaulter Terry Batemon did not qualify for nationals, but he did finish third in the Big Ten Championships after pulling

his upper and lower right hamstring last year, cutting his season short as he redshirted his outdoor season.

This outdoor season, he said he hopes to qualify for nationals.

“He’s a coach that makes me think, ‘Man, I want to be that jumper that puts him on the map,’” Batemon said about Wiseman. “We know Coach Wiseman. Everyone knows Coach Jake Wiseman.”

The last decade of IU pole vault and multi events wouldn’t be the same without Wiseman, and the southern Indiana native has always had the heart for IU. “This is home,” Wiseman said. “I grew up here. There are pictures of me growing up in IU onesies. My room was always decorated with IU stuff. For me, this is home, so coaching here is very special.”

freshman Isaiah Pasteur in the second inning.

The third inning saw senior designated hitter Scott Donley hit his first home run of the season.

Senior second baseman Casey Rodrigue drove home a run on a groundout in the fourth inning, and freshman Chris Lowe scored on a passed ball in the seventh.

Lemonis said it felt good to come home and establish a routine, and that guys felt comfortable.

“I just think getting comfortable is a big part of it, the first couple games it was just really tight and we were facing some of the best arms in the country so it’s to be expected,” Lemonis said. “I like our effort, we were pretty solid up and down the lineup today.”

IU (9-4) will play Eastern Michigan (6-11) again 4 p.m. Wednesday at Bart Kaufman Field.

In a surprising turn, junior Kyle Hart will make his return from an injury he sustained part way through last season and get the start for the Hoosiers. Hart was 3-1 with a 2.29 ERA before the injury last year.

Lemonis said even in the fall, today was the day Hart would come back.

“The only thing we said in the fall was it had to be nice weather, and so when we saw it was supposed to be 60 degrees and sunny that’s about as good as you can get. I think the gods are looking down on him a little bit.”

With 10 hits, Tuesday marked the eighth game out of the past nine that IU has reached 10 hits, and Pasteur said the Hoosiers have no plans of slowing down.

“We go up to the plate with the mentality to just get the ball in play, just keep the lineup moving,” Pasteur said. “It’s good to come out in front of the home fans and just compete out there and get the win.”

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Zeisloft finds range in final stretch

By Sam Beishuizen sbeishui@indiana.edu @Sam_Beishuizen

The most efficient offensive player in the nation can’t be found on the AllBig Ten team announced Monday.

He doesn’t play for the undefeated Kentucky Wildcats or orchestrate the nation’s most efficient offense at Wisconsin.

He doesn’t even start.

Data on kenpom.com now lists IU junior Nick Zeisloft as the most efficient offensive player in the country. The reserve guard has been the Hoosiers’ hottest shooter during the last three weeks, reaching doubledigit scoring in each of his last four games.

The Illinois State transfer led the Big Ten shooting 51.4 percent from beyond the arc. But as he’s done all season, Zeisloft refused to take full ownership of his accomplishments.

“My teammates are doing a great job of finding me when I’m open,” Zeisloft said Saturday. “Whenever we move the ball and move bodies and are cutting hard, any of us can go off of that.”

Zeisloft’s humility does carry a bit of merit.

Although IU Coach Tom Crean is adamant Zeisloft isn’t a 3-point specialist, he’s made a living off catchand-shoot treys. Those types of shots require the right pass from a teammate to be successful.

Just more than 83 percent of Zeisloft’s 220 points this season have come via the 3-pointer. Of his 149 field goal attempts, only 17 have come from inside the arc.

Zeisloft doesn’t quite have the same ability as

BEN MIKESELL | IDS

Junior guard Nick Zeisloft runs back on defense after making a 3-point shot Saturday against Michigan State.

quicker guards such as junior Yogi Ferrell to consistently beat defenders off the dribble to create space for himself. That, along with rebounding, remains a work in progress, Crean said.

“We’re working towards that,” Crean said. “I think he knows that I’m hard on him with that, and our coaches are hard on him for a reason. He’s not just here to be a specialist, although he’s pretty good at that. We want him to be able to do numerous things for us, but when he gets that foot down and lines up and is moving, you have to guard him.”

IU’s last four opponents — including Northwestern, who the Hoosiers play in the second round of the Big Ten Tournament on Thursday — found this out firsthand.

Zeisloft is averaging 14.3 points in 23.5 minutes per game during that stretch.

While the Hoosier offense

has cooled considerably in its current three-game losing streak, Zeisloft has continued to remain hot from beyond the arc, where he’s hit 17 of his last 27 shots.

His recent tear from long distance is a welcome shot in the arm for a young IU team. But it’s not just his play on the court that’s valuable now that the postseason is beginning. It’s his experience.

That’s partially why Crean brought Zeisloft to Bloomington in the first place, he said.

With IU limping into the Big Ten Tournament having lost eight of 12 games to close the regular season, Zeisloft said leadership is as important now as it’s ever been.

“It’s crucial,” he said.

“The older you are, the more experience you have, and the more you have to lead by example. And on the

court, it’s definitely a crucial thing.”

Still not through his first full season as a Hoosier, it’s become increasingly obvious Zeisloft has taken to his role of being that leader off the bench.

He rarely meets a 3-pointer he doesn’t like but admits he’s still got room to grow. He’ll have another full season to become more well-rounded, but for now, being the nation’s most efficient scorer isn’t too bad for a player who relies on the 3-ball for most of his offense.

“Nick’s got courage,” Crean said. “You want a team of guys that have courage because if they’ve got some courage, they’re going to have some humility, and they’re going to strive to get better.

“The shooting excites you, but the other things excite me, too.”

Junior guard Yogi Ferrell attempts a layup in a 74-72 loss Saturday to Michigan State.

Ferrell honored by United States Basketball Writers IU junior guard Yogi Ferrell was named to the All-District V team by the United States Basketball Writers Association.

The team is made up of ten athletes playing for colleges located in Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana and Minnesota.

Seven players on the team come from Big Ten schools.

He is joined by Purdue’s A.J. Hammons and Butler’s Kellen Dunham.

Ferrell started in all 31 of IU’s games. He averaged 16 points, five assists and 3.5 rebounds per game.

Monday, Ferrell was named first team All-Big Ten by both the conference’s coaches and media.

Wisconsin Coach Bo Ryan was named Coach of the Year by the USBWA. Big Ten Player of the Year Frank Kaminsky was also named Player of the Year.

Jessica Storey-Nagy (left in black), Hungarian Cultural Association President, stands with the band consisting of Dr. Bence Ságvári, Isaac Bershady, Phil Hanley and Deb Shebish. The band performs traditional Hungarian folk songs to the people present at the Commemoration of the 1848 Hungarian Revolution. The event was Tuesday in the University Club President’s Room at the Indiana Memorial Union.

Students celebrate Hungary commemoration was held earlier due to the upcoming break from classes.

The event was hosted by the IU HCA and was sponsored by the Central Eurasian and Uralic Studies Department, the Inner Asian and Uralic National Resource Center, the Russian and East European Institute and the IU Student Association.

“Celebrating the revolution is a way for us to connect the Hungarian community in Bloomington,” he said. “We try to bring people back to their roots.”

After the singing of the Hungarian National Anthem, the event continued with a commemorative speech, a musical performance, poetry readings and a final musical performance.

IU Hungarian Cultural Association President Jessica Storey-Nagy instructed the attendees to rise for the evening’s introduction.

“We are now going to sing the Hungarian National Anthem,” she said.

Hungarian men, women and children stood and embraced the singing of their anthem. Smiles blossomed on their faces as the annual celebration of their country’s revolution was about to begin.

The commemoration of the 1848 Hungarian Revolution took place Tuesday in the Indiana Memorial Union University Club. Although the anniversary of the revolution is March 15, the

Torok said the HCA is always working to introduce people to their culture, as it isn’t the most popular club at IU. “People coming today will learn about the cornerstones of Hungarian history,” he said.

“They’ll get a feel for our culture and begin to understand what Hungary is all about.”

“Storey-Nagy said the majority of the attendees at the commemoration weren’t IU students, but members of the Bloomington Hungarian community.

“Many people are unaware of the small group of Hungarians living in Bloomington,” she said. “Having this commemoration brings everyone together.”

“The way things are being carried out by the current Hungarian prime minister aren’t sticking to Hungary’s true values of a democratic nation,” she said. “Having this commemoration will only unite Hungarians more.”

During his speech, Fulbright Visiting Scholar Dr. Bence Sagvari spoke of the history of the Hungarian struggles and eventual revolution. He emphasized the importance of individuals cherishing their rights.

According to the resolution, “not having a course syllabus reduces a student’s ability to effectively meet course expectations and make informed decisions about adding or dropping courses.”

Members also voted to approve a resolution supporting the implementation of a bike share program.

The Transportation Working Group under the Office of Sustainability is considering implementing a bike share program capable of bearing related ongoing maintenance expenses.

According to the resolution, “A bike share program would effectively transport students throughout campus conveniently and efficiently.”

Students have already shown interest in a bike sharing program through their interest in and use of Crimson Cruisers.

Crimson Cruisers is a bike sharing program from the IU Office of Sustainability, the Transportation Working Group and IU Outdoor Adventures.

This program recycles abandoned bikes and then loans them out to students each semester.

The resolution states that IUSA supports the Transportation Working Group in an implementation of a bike share program capable of bearing related ongoing maintenance expenses.

The resolution also encourages IUSA to conduct a student survey regarding a bike share program.

hits in 13 at bats. After Tuesday, Pasteur’s batting average is .333.

He had also drawn five walks entering Tuesday’s game and added one more to that total against Eastern Michigan.

Drawing walks typically allows a player of Pasteur’s speed extra opportunities to steal bases. But Pasteur has yet to steal a base this season.

“He just hasn’t been on base enough,” Lemonis said.

“I think if he gets out there more you’ll see him stealing more bases.”

He might not have a steal, but he has still been dangerous on the bases. In IU’s second game of the season at Stanford, he advanced to third on an errant pickoff attempt to first.

This speed was also evident after Pasteur’s final plate appearance, a leadoff walk.

IU’s next batter, senior second baseman Casey Rodrigue, hit a ground ball to first. But because of Pasteur’s speed going to second, the only out Eastern Michigan could record was at first.

Sophomore outfielder Craig Dedelow then hit a medium range fly ball to straight

BMV does not have the authority to charge fees at its discretion ... The BMV needs to be held accountable, and Indiana residents deserve restitution.”

In addition to the refund of overcharged fees, the pending lawsuit requests a full audit of all previous fees and costs be done and for access to public records to find out how long the BMV has known about the alleged overcharges.

The second case was set for a bench trial before Marion Superior Judge James Osborn on June 1, but that date was vacated last week when a notice of mediation was filed.

Charles Geyh, professor of law at the IU Maurer School of Law, suggested a notice of mediation doesn’t necessarily mean a settlement will be reached in a class action lawsuit such as this one.

“A joint notice of mediation indicates that both sides are prepared to sit down with a third-party mediator who will try to help the parties

can’t succeed if you never try.

Hill said it’s important for aspiring creators to “go out there and fail; that’s how you’re going to learn.”

Eventually Shoulberg said he relented and decided to share some work with Hill.

“He sent me this short story called ‘Walter,’ and I said, ‘We have to do this,’” Hill said.

After Shoulberg converted the story into the script for a short film, Hill said he thought former classmate West would be perfect for the title character of “Walter.” Hill and West had rekindled their friendship after Hill moved from Chicago to Los Angeles where West acted.

When the short film was complete and the alumni took the film around to various festivals, Hill said people wanted

away center field. Pasteur was able to tag up and advance to third, this time starting his slide about 15-20 feet before the base.

While Pasteur was unable to score in the inning, his speed created problems for Eastern Michigan.

Considering the wet conditions, the likelihood of a ball sneaking by the catcher to the backstop increased. Eastern Michigan had five wild pitches and passed balls during the game.

The conditions also

affected Pasteur defensively.

In the third inning he fielded a ground ball at third base, but sent his throw to first caroming off Eastern Michigan’s dugout fence.

“I had an error out there because the ball was a little wet,” Pasteur said. “We still have to dig down and just make the routine plays. This is our home field and we have to know it better than anyone.”

The play was not as routine as Pasteur made it out to be. The runner was Eastern Michigan’s center fielder

Austin Wilson, who has two steals this season. His sprint down the first baseline caused the error, which also allowed Wilson to reach second.

It was actually quite similar to Pasteur’s infield single in the second inning. Wilson put the ball in play, put pressure on the defense and capitalized on its mistake.

It’s what Pasteur said his mindset is every time he steps to the plate. “I just try and hit it, hustle down the line and hopefully get there before the ball gets there,” he said.

more out of “Walter.”

“It felt like an introduction to a bigger piece,” Shoulberg said.

In the spring of 2011, Hill said they decided to turn “Walter” into a full-length film. He said they knew the hardships people face when they make independent films, but they were determined to make it happen.

Even after filming went underway, West said they knew the funding could fall through at any time.

“It’s impossible to express just how volatile making an indie film is,” he said.

The alumni also said filmmakers need to be prepared to do whatever they need to do to make their movies happen.

Hill said while he primarily focused on acting at IU, he had to take classes in every aspect of theater from set building to light design.

He said he was also very involved with the undergraduate theater production company University Players. His involvement with that group, he said, forced him to get his hands dirty doing things such as searching for funds and creating sets.

All of these experiences helped him with his role as a producer for “Walter,” Hill said. Because producers don’t have very specific jobs, he said, they have to do “whatever it takes to make sure it keeps moving forward.”

Kevin Renn, an IU junior studying theater, and IU theatre department’s fiscal officer James Barrow said they think networking was the most important topic the alumni talked about.

“I don’t come from a theater background, but I’ve been here seven years,” Renn

said. “I’ve learned in the theater industry networking is key.”

West, unlike Hill and Shoulberg, didn’t graduate from the IU theatre department — he majored in philosophy and anthropology.

However, he said his last year at IU was very influential because he acted in a play titled “Suburbia.” That was the first time West performed in a play at IU, and he said it led him to meet a lot of people he immediately clicked with.

Now he’s an actor in a feature-length film with some of those very people.

Renn said he enjoyed getting the opportunity to talk with people beyond college.

“It’s cool to see where they’ve gone and where they’re going because obviously their dream is not ending here,” he said. “And neither is mine.”

campus rape was described as venturing into an emotional minefield.

Bogdanich focused on how well the institutions tasked with these cases dealt with them and with other institutions.

As the university became more worried of the story, it motivated Bogdanich and pushed him even more to pursue his investigation.

When his article on the rape case surfaced, neither the school nor police liked the portrayal of their institutions but didn’t deny any facts stated.

Following this story, sources began to contact Bogdanich about different cases — one case involving a girl at a private university.

After gaining the trust of the family Bogdanich was able to get a transcript of the panel that the victim had to

settle the case,” Geyh said.

“Settlement is not assured.

If the state has a bottom line dollar amount settlement figure ... that is below the plaintiff ’s bottom line dollar amount, below which they won’t go, settlement may not be possible.”

Amid the chaos at the BMV, Gov. Mike Pence announced in February that new internal auditors were to be assigned to the agency in order to reassess its fee structures. This announcement was made around the same time another $2 million in overcharging fees from the last six years was discovered to have occurred.

Additionally, Pence has moved the BMV’s previous commissioner, Don Snemis, to a position as special counsel for program integrity at the Family and Social Services Administration in order to oversee the implementation of Pence’s new Healthy Indiana Plan.

Kent Abernathy became the new BMV commissioner Feb. 12. Previously, he was the chief of staff at the Indiana Department of Environmental Management. approach to report her rape claim on campus.

Bogdanich revealed insufficient investigations carried out by the school to rightfully prosecute the person at fault in the rape case.

After this case, Bogdanich referred to himself as a member of “CSI: New York Times,” breaking the rumored idea of the slow death of investigative journalism.

“This is not an ideal world, you must find the best obtainable truthful report,” Bogdanich said.

Reporting in the perspective of Bogdanich goes beyond the guilt or innocence of the victims, making it frowned upon to use fake names at all costs and always reach out to the accused.

“Great journalism stirs people to action,” he said.

The lecture was the second event this semester as part of the Media School’s speaker series.
