IDS Debate raises questions on role of IUSA

By Jesse Naranjo jlnaranj@indiana.edu | @jesselnaranjo

The remaining five tickets at the IU Student Association debate on Tuesday night had much to agree on and little disagreement.

Candidates discussed wideranging issues in their opening and closing statements, but questions from professor Paul Helmke revolved around IUSA’s specific role on campus and the tickets’ plans to address the issues they discussed.

“I’m proud of the things we did,” Helmke said of his time in student government “Why’d you

presidential candidate, junior Brandon Sakbun, said there was a middle ground between the two “polarizing” positions.

Similar to his points during the rest of the debate, Psych Up’s presidential candidate, sophomore Jake McWilliams, said it might not be within IUSA’s capacity to pass this resolution and, in rebuttals, Empower’s presidential candidate, junior Dan Niersbach, said assessing the situation did not mean his ticket was against undocumented students.

“IU is a sanctuary campus, basically, but not in name, and that’s the problem that I have with

get in this? What do you want folks to remember 30, 40 years from now, what you did when you were in student government?”

Though undocumented students do not make up the majority of the population, positions on whether IU should be declared a sanctuary campus appeared to be the main source of disagreement among the tickets.

Engage, IGNITE and Psych Up supported a resolution to make IU a sanctuary campus. Empower suggested waiting to assess the legislative environment on a national and state level before making any decisions, and Focus’

the administration to be honest with you all,” IGNITE’s presidential candidate, sophomore Will McKinney, said.

He said the campus is also a wet campus in everything but name, and IU student government should be bold enough to be the first in the Big Ten Conference to take these steps. McKinney’s ticket was the only one at the debate to propose increasing the IUSA budget. He said this is achievable by selling alcohol at sports games and eliminating the dry-campus designation.

Other tickets proposed policy to move funds from other

The Indiana Daily Student interviewed members of each ticket and broke down the specifics of the policy proposals into a voter guide for students.

Student government campaigns often throw around the same political jargon. In the 2017 IU Student Association election, campus “sustainability,” “safety” and “diversity and inclusion” initiatives reign.

The challenge voters face is determining whether a campaign can progress beyond the buzzwords and

CAMPUS SAFETY & SEXUAL ASSAULT PREVENTION

FOCUS FOR IUSA

Empower expresses desire for a working relationship with both IU and Bloomington police departments to increase transparency between the departments and the student body. An additional proposal is to create a liaison between the greek community and IUPD, similar to a current Live-in Officer Program in residence halls, which excludes the “live-in” aspect. The ticket also proposes the extension of safe ride hours.

Engage’s website proposes an increase in bystander intervention training, starting with mandatory Welcome Week seminar for freshman. It also wants to require Title IX training for any organization seeking funding from the University.

Focus proposes a Walk with Cadets program where students would be able to walk home with IUPD cadets. Similar to the IU Safety Escort program, Focus said this would increase safety and improve communication between cadets and students.

The ticket also proposes an increase in lighting for poorly-lit areas of campus and residential facilities. Sakbun said incentives for organizations that train members in bystander intervention are not off the table.

The ticket proposes eliminating IU’s “dry campus” policy and increasing alcohol education.

IGNITE’s website also lists extending IU SafeRide to 3 a.m. and increasing the frequency of late-night campus activities, which act as alternatives for students who would like to stay sober.

Psych Up advocates for increased lighting in areas of campus that do not already have it. McWilliams said this is especially important in areas of campus deemed more dangerous or prone to assaults.

Again, he said his ticket will assess what their authority is to orchestrate this initiative.

DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

ENGAGE EMPOWER IU WITH IUSA

VOTING OPENS TODAY Opens 10 a.m. Wednesday Closes 10 p.m. Thursday Voting link sent by email

Empower’s policy plan proposes a required social justice class for students, bias training for faculty and revisions to syllabi to add statements on diversity.

The campaign also lists allowing students to designate its own gender pronouns on University records and websites and providing alternative meal options for students with religious dietary restrictions as priorities. Empower said it would work with Residential Programs and Services to integrate international students into more residence halls.

Engage has also proposed a social justice general education requirement, along with religious accommodations in dining halls and an incorporation of Electronic Benefit Transfer and other forms of food stamps into meal points. The ticket plans to create an interfaith prayer room on campus, provide free menstrual products in women and allgender bathrooms on campus and improve accessibility for people with physical, auditory and visual impairments.

Monthly town halls with campus leaders, IUSA representatives and members of the student body are central to Focus’ inclusion plan. Its website also lists minor redistricting of the IUSA Congress to include representatives from cultural centers and the off-campus greek community. The ticket also promoted a program where incoming freshman would take a survey which would assist in selection of a fitting peer adviser.

IGNITE proposes giving students more control of where they live and who they live with, and potentially removing the firstyear residence hall requirement.

The website proposes having IUSA office hours in more accessible locations so students can feel comfortable coming to its representatives or administrative staff with their opinions.

McWilliams said diversity and inclusion initiatives are important to his ticket. He said they would like to make current diversity initiatives more mainstream and increase programming across campus, within their authority. The ticket prioritizes IUSA reform and mental health, hence the name.

Hillel Center welcomes Dennis Ross for policy talk

By Christine Fernando ctfernan@indiana.edu @christinetfern

ANDREW WILLIAMS | IDS

IU political science professor Bernard Fraga discusses his experience as a minority in higher education during the Pathway to Academia panel Tuesday evening at the La Casa Latino Cultural Center. The event was put on

by Latino Graduate Student Association co-chair Stephanie Huezo and aimed to make connections between minority students and faculty at IU.

Faculty talked about diversity in academia

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

A panel composed of four IU faculty members said being a person of color in academia is a struggle for many due to lack of diversity.

The panel was sponsored by the Latino Graduate Student Association and took place Tuesday evening at La Casa Latino Cultural Center.

It focused on the struggles of being of Latino descent in academia and how to work through the lack of representation.

Assistant professor in the political science department Bernard Fraga, assistant professor in the sociology department Elaine Hernandez, Latino studies visiting assistant professor Mintzi MartinezRivera and assistant professor in the English department Alberto Varon talked about their experiences in higher education.

“I think it’s important to hear from Latino and Latina faculty members because we are underrepresented in higher education,” graduate student and LGSA co-chair Denise Ambriz said. “It just shows us that there are opportunities for us to continue on in higher education.”

The panelists discussed the good and the bad of being in academia. They said it was often a very alienating experience because of the lack of diversity and representation, and Hernandez said the expectations of being an

academic person of color were demanding.

She said often papers are rejected, and publishing is a grueling process.

“You have to have the passion to keep you going,” Hernandez said.

Fraga spoke more in depth about these demands and said they were divided between teaching courses, completing research and providing service. He said research, not courses taught, determines tenure, promotions and prestige. However, he said faculty still need to give effort in all of three areas, which can be overwhelming.

The panel addressed the issues of hiring minority faculty in all universities and how the process is often political.

Fraga explained the process started in the late 1900s with the first generation of minority faculty being hired because they were considered exotic.

Then it moved on to tokenism — trying to have a minority professor in each department, he said.

He said the bar has been raised even higher for minorities because they have to distinguish themselves from other applicants, especially minority applicants.

However, Varon said that it was important for graduate students not to focus on affecting change in their positions. He said they did not have the power to enact change in their current place, so the important thing was to focus on their studies and create a community.

The panelists agreed this dynamic was a struggle they had faced and often created an odd guilt between wanting to see change but also waiting for a position with more power to affect that change.

Though the panelists said being an academic is tough, they did touch on the rewarding points of being able to shape students’ mindsets and make a difference. MartinezRivera said the networks of scholars who the panelists engage and work with is rewarding.

“We’re shaping the new generation,” she said. “It’s really amazing and beautiful to see the students flourish and transform by your classes.”

Gender studies Ph.D. student Daniela Gutierrez said she attended the event because she had an interest in seeing how Lantinx, a term for a person of Latin American origin or descent, faculty were making their ways through academia. She also wanted to see what was waiting for her, as a Latin American, after her dissertation.

Gutierrez teaches an introduction to gender studies class this semester and will be teaching a themes in gender studies course in the fall. She said the Latinx population on campus is so small that it is often hard to know who to reach out to, so getting to know the four non-tenured professors was beneficial for her.

“It was good to see in their first stages they were optimistic but honest about their struggles,” she said.

Clad in all black, members of Hooshir, an IU a cappella group, stood before a lecture hall full of people and sang a Hebrew song, followed by the national anthem. Attendees in the front row mouthed along and swayed to both songs.

The songs preceeded a talk presented by United States diplomat Dennis Ross. The talk was broadcast to Jewish organizations around the country.

During the talk, Ross said foreign policy challenges in the Middle East are more pressing now than ever before.

“President Trump faces a more daunting set of challenges in the Middle East than any of his predecessors,” Ross said.

He said these challenges lie in the vulnerability to the Middle Eastern states failing from internal conflicts.

As these conflicts threaten stability, these states are more susceptible to Islamic State group influence, he said.

Even if the Trump administration succeeds in liberating these countries, the hardest part is approaching what will be left behind, Ross said. Even with liberation, he said these countries will still be left in a chaotic vacuum without leadership and stability.

“The Trump administration needs to ensure there

is inclusiveness, security and reconstruction in the aftermath,” he said.

If these conditions are not met, Ross said confusion and attachment to the past will cause Islamic states to once again be vulnerable to organizations like Islamic State group.

As of now, Ross said the Middle East faces rising turmoil due to terrorism and conflicts between governments and rebel groups, especially in countries like Syria, Yemen and Turkey.

“And then there’s Libya too, but I don’t want you guys to go home and have to take some Prozac,” he said as a joke.

Alyssa Kirshenbaum, an attendee and IU junior, said an understanding of this complex situation and the violence and instability people in these countries face is especially important today as misconceptions and prejudice against Muslim refugees rise.

“This is an opportunity to better understand the situation,” she said.

“And that will help us be advocates for peace.”

She said while conversations about the situation in the Middle East may not be pretty, it is a necessity in making all people feel safe and accepted.

Sue Silberberg, rabbi at Hillel, said recent events like the executive order banning travel from six Muslim-majority countries and the recent bomb threats against Jewish synagogues are threatening this safety and acceptance even in the U.S.

Before the talk began, VIP guests gathered at the Hillel Center for a dinner celebrating Ross’s visit.

When Silberberg hit a spoon against a glass, guests donning suits, dresses and yamakas looked up as she welcomed IU President Michael McRobbie.

She said McRobbie’s willingness to stand up against the executive order and the bomb threats reflects the efforts to promote peace and understanding that brought Ross to speak at IU. “I’m impressed by your willingness to speak out and stand up for what’s right and what you believe in during times that diversity is threatened,” Silberberg said, turning to McRobbie.

With a smile and a thank you, McRobbie stepped up to the microphone to introduce Ross.

“We are so happy to welcome ambassador Ross to IU and to recognize someone who’s career has spanned four administrations and helped promote peace,” McRobbie said.

As McRobbie returned to his seat, attendees bowed their heads to pray over the breaking of bread.

After the prayer, they passed pita, hummus, carrots and babaganoush from hand to hand while talking about their excitement for Ross’s visit.

“These conversations and events are what makes this campus such a unique and special community,” Silberberg said. “It brings us together.”

Diversity initiatives win IU an excellence award in 2017 From IDS reports

For the first time, IU has been awarded the Institutional Excellence Award.

This award is given to institutions that excel in promoting and extending diversity and inclusion initiatives on campus, according to an IU press release. IU provost and executive vice president Lauren Robel said it goes to the Office of the Vice President for Diversity, Equity and Multicultural Affairs and others in the IU community.

“Diversity and inclusion are central to our mission as a public university and essential to the strength of our community here on the Bloomington campus,” Robel said in the release.

“This award reflects not only the dedicated efforts of the

OVPDEMA staff under the guidance of Martin McCrory, but also the contributions of countless individuals across the entire campus who are committed to making IU Bloomington a warm and welcoming place for people of all backgrounds to come together and learn, thrive and excel.”

The National Association of Diversity Officers in Higher Education presented the award to the University, according to the release.

Martin McCrory, IU’s chief diversity officer, accepted the award at an annual formal conference last week in Washington, D.C., according to the release.

The University’s many contributing efforts played a role in their nomination for this kind of award after

initiatives like the Overseas Studies and Scholarship Program and IU’s success with the Groups Scholars Program and the 21st Century Scholars Covenant, according to the release.

“Thanks to the coordinated efforts of administrators, faculty, students and staff, IU Bloomington has made significant strides in recent years to transform the campus into a national leader in diversity and inclusion,” McCrory said in the release. “Although we certainly have much work left to do, this national honor is a recognition of the many talented individuals who have helped to prioritize diversity and inclusion on the Bloomington campus.”

Bloomington man receives 24 years’ probation

By Taylor Telford ttelford@indiana.edu @taylormtelford

ALEXA CHRYSSOVERGIS | IDS

Sen. Erin Houchin, R-Salem, testifies Tuesday morning. Houchin is one author on Senate Bill 407, which would require information regarding the number of teachers who participate in their school district’s union to be published on the Indiana Education Employment Relations Board website.

Teacher’s union bill debated

By Alexa Chryssovergis aachryss@indiana.edu @achryssovergis

A bill related to teacher unions passed with a complete partisan split in the House education committee Tuesday morning. These splits have become a common occurrence recently, with many education-related issues causing a heated divide between Democrats and Republicans.

Legislators put forth Senate Bill 407, which supporters view as “simple transparency” legislation, but opponents said they thought has deeper, potentially divisive intent.

SB 407 would require information regarding the number of teachers who participate in their school district’s union to be published on the Indiana Education Employment Relations Board website. Under current law, this information is available, but only upon request.

Opponents to the bill feared it has nefarious intentions.

“I think it’s political,” said Rep. Vernon Smith, D-Gary, when prefacing his “no” vote on the bill. “I have no problem with transparency, but I don’t think this is an issue of transparency.”

One of the bill’s authors, Sen. Erin Houchin, R-Salem, argued the bill is merely a simple information-providing piece of legislation.

While some superintendents would grant union membership information without a Freedom of Information Act request, others wouldn’t be so readily forthcoming with these numbers, she said.

The IEERB would not

post any identifying information for union members on its website, the bill says.

It would only post statistical data of involvement.

The bill is meant to protect intimidated teachers who are too afraid to request this information for fear of being ostracized by their colleagues, said Houchin and one of the bill’s sponsors, Rep. Jerry Torr, R-Carmel.

“Even if we can help a few people feel more comfortable with this information being public, that’s enough for me,” Houchin said.

Smith took issue with this explanation for the bill, though.

He asked what exactly teachers were afraid of and suggested that teachers that would be too scared to request the information this bill would require to be publicized were “cowards.”

“What’s going to happen to you?” he asked. “They’re not going to cut your tires.

They’re not going to shoot you.”

The talk between committee Democrats and the bill’s author and sponsor became somewhat heated. Rep. Ed DeLaney, D-Indianapolis, who also opposed the idea that teachers are currently too afraid to request union data, became visibly agitated while speaking with Houchin and Torr.

This isn’t an access issue, DeLaney said. Houchin and Torr want the state to publicize the information, which isn’t the same thing as making it available, he said.

Torr used his local Carmel Clay Schools as an example to back the bill. The membership in the district’s union is something less than 30 percent, he estimated, and many teachers are very frus-

trated with the current union representation.

However, Rep. Sheila Klinker, D-Lafayette, said what’s happening in Carmel Clay Schools isn’t the norm and just may be an anomaly.

Speaking as a previous teacher leader for the Lafayette Education Association, Klinker said the communication they had with the district was always strong and amiable.

“The superintendent and the teachers union, association, got along very well, and if we thought the teachers were not being represented, we strove very diligently . . . to represent those folks who didn’t feel they were represented,” Klinker said.

Torr responded that the bill wasn’t mean to pick on unions but merely to “provide information.”

“I think you’re making some assumptions here,” Torr said. “There’s no nefarious intent here.”

Representatives from the Indiana State Teachers Association and American Federation of Teachers Indiana came to speak in opposition of the bill and echo concerns from legislators.

John O’Neal from ISTA said the bill is unnecessary.

ISTA is all about providing transparency, but the information the bill would require to be annually publicized online is already out there, O’Neal said.

“We feel that this is kind of just a poke in the eye,” O’Neal said, prompting an enthusiastic series of head nods from Klinker lol. “It’s more than just making it accessible; it’s broadcasting it.”

Sally Sloan from AFT Indiana offered up emotional testimony on the subject. She said this issue is one that’s

very personal to her.

Sloan spoke on one part of the bill that would require the IEERB to notify a school district when participation in the teachers union drops below 50 percent.

This particular provision would be “divisive within school districts.” A similar sentiment was expressed by Democrats in the committee, she said.

Sloan, like Smith and DeLaney, didn’t buy into the idea that teachers are afraid to request information.

“I don’t think we’re intimidating,” she said. “I think we give information freely.

We’re not the enemy. Teachers are not.”

Katelyn Bell of the Institute for Quality Education also spoke briefly in support of the legislation, which she referred to again as a “simple transparency bill.”

Regardless of the opposition, SB 407 passed through committee 7-4.

O’Neal and Sloan also stuck around to testify for a second bill, this time in support.

Senate Bill 409, a measure that would push back the collective bargaining period in Indiana from beginning on Aug. 1 to beginning Sept.

15, passed unanimously.

In a moment of consensus in the education committee, representatives and stakeholders alike seemed to agree that SB 409 is a simple, good bill.

Pushing back the start time for collective bargaining allows union members to more accurately do their jobs, many testified.

“We think it helps the situation we’re in right now,” Sloan said. “We hope that someday we’ll look at a different situation.”

Astronomy event planned at lake

By Brooke McAfee bemcafee@indiana.edu @bemcafee24601

An upcoming event will allow people to gaze through telescopes at the sky from Monroe Lake and learn about astronomy.

“Welcome to the Universe!” takes place from 8:30 to 10:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Paynetown State Recreation Area by Monroe Lake. The free event will feature telescope viewings by the lake’s swimming beach and indoor astronomyrelated activities, including a demonstration showing the curvature of space and various crafts featuring phases of the moon and constellations.

These activities will define concepts related to astronomy and make them easier for people to understand, Monroe Lake interpretive naturalist Jill Vance said.

“If you’ve never looked through a telescope before and never had the chance to see planets and galaxies, it’s a really neat experience,” Vance said. “It really gives you a sense of where we fit in the larger scheme of the universe.”

Many of the activities, like portable constellation viewers and crafts involving moon phases, are takehome projects people can

use in their own backyards, she said.

The event is on the same day as astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson’s appearance 7 p.m. Wednesday at the IU Auditorium.

Tyson is a renowned science communicator and the director of the Hayden Planetarium.

The event is not affiliated with the IU Auditorium, but Vance said she hopes people will attend the event as a free alternative or follow-up activity to Tyson’s talk, even though Monroe Lake is not as close to campus.

The ticket price of Tyson’s appearance at the IU Auditorium, which ranges from $58.50 to $128.50, might exclude people who have an interest in astronomy, she said.

“We can hopefully reach people that Tyson won’t be able to reach because of the price barrier,” Vance said.

People can show up at any point during the event’s two hour interval, so there will be time for people to come to Monroe Lake after attending Tyson’s talk, she said.

Although she has encountered cloudy weather at astronomy-related events in the past, Vance said there are clear skies in the forecast, so she expects it will be ideal weather for stargazing.

Even if the sky is too

In an unusual sentencing, a Bloomington man was given 24 years of probation Monday for having sex with a 14-year-old girl and for a violent altercation that occurred while he was in jail.

Ricky Wallace Jr., 24, pleaded guilty to one felony count of Ricky aggravated Wallace Jr battery and one count of sexual misconduct with a minor.

Normally, felony charges like these would result in a significant prison sentence, but due to concerns with the victim in the case, the prosecution opted for a more unorthodox punishment, Chief Deputy Prosecutor Robert Miller said in a hearing in the Monroe County Circuit Court.

“It’s our belief that this is a much more palatable outcome than the uncertainty of a jury trial,” Miller said.

Police discovered the sexual misconduct when investigating the crash of a Mustang that Wallace fled from on foot in September 2014. Wallace left his cell phone at the scene, and after police got a search warrant for its contents, they found multiple videos of Wallace having sex with a blonde-haired girl who “appeared to be very young,” according to a probable cause affidavit.

When police went to the address listed on Wallace’s driver’s license in February 2015, the woman who lived there said Wallace was living with a young girl who was pregnant with his child.

When investigators looked at the girl’s Facebook, they found multiple pictures of her with Wallace and an ultrasound photo.

They visited the girl at her home, but she refused to speak with officers about Wallace or her relationship with him. The girl’s mother informed officers that Wallace had been staying with them but had moved out after an argument. Officers arrested Wallace in early May 2015.

While he was in jail for the sexual misconduct, Wallace had a physical altercation that resulted in the aggravated battery charge.

"Welcome to the Universe," an event at Monroe Lake, will take place from 8:30 to 10:30 p.m Wednesday at the Paynetown State Recreation Area. This free event allows residents a chance to learn about astronomy while stargazing.

cloudy to use the telescopes, the indoor activities will go on regardless of the weather.

Jean-François Gout, who is a research associate in molecular evolution at IU, will bring two telescopes to the event.

Astronomy is one of his hobbies, he said, and he uses his telescopes for photography.

He said he is looking forward to seeing people’s reactions to the telescopes.

“We will try to make people more curious and ask questions,” Gout said.

“The best thing is to hear

someone say ‘wow’ while they are looking through the telescopes.”

He said he also wants to prolong the learning experience for people who come to the event after seeing Tyson.

Vance said this would be an exciting opportunity for people who have never used a telescope before.

“The first time you see Saturn through a scope, and you actually see the rings yourself, it’s really neat,” she said. “It looks almost like someone stuck a sticker of Saturn on the other end of the telescope.”

With the extensive probation period, the court is betting against Wallace, Miller said. Rather than take the case to trial and put the victim through further trauma, the court is hoping that Wallace will be unable to meet his probation requirements and will wind up in prison in the long run.

“It’s unorthodox,” Miller said, “But we foresaw problems taking it to trial.

The victim has emotional problems which made us hesitate to put her through that.”

As Judge Marc Kellams considered the plea agreement in an afternoon hearing, he said he understood how upset the victim’s parents would be with the agreement, but that in this case, he thought this was the best option.

“I can sympathize with the victim’s parents, who are probably feeling that Mr. Wallace should be locked up for a very long time because of her age,” Kellams said.

Kellams pointed out that other court officials objected to the plea agreement because the length of the probation period was so unreasonable, but that in this case, he thought it was justified.

“This provides for a long period of supervision, with a substantial sentence upon any kind of violation,” Kellams said, looking at Wallace. “You have a lot of time hanging over your head.”

Wallace sat calmly beside his lawyers during the hearing. He wore a baggy, black and white striped prison uniform and wore his hair in little braids.

Although he would be released in the hours following the hearing, Wallace said he had no permanent address. He rattled off the names of a few friends he was planning on staying with. He also requested to transfer his probation to Illinois, so he could be near his family in Chicago.

Wallace will be listed as a sex offender, and although standards generally require sex offenders not to have contact with children, he asked the court if he could still see his 4-year-old daughter.

He promised to use his probation to get his life back on track, even though he knew the court was betting he wouldn’t be able to walk the straight and narrow.

“I want to make sure I stick with it,” Wallace said.

A man who walked out of a Dick’s Sporting Goods with stolen athletic bags filled with other stolen goods Monday now faces a felony theft charge.

At about 4 p.m., a manager at the College Mall store saw a man, later identified as 40-year-old Johnathan Huffman, take the bags, Bloomington Police Department Capt. Steve Kellams said.

The manager followed him from the store and called police.

Police found Huffman behind a nearby CVS with the bags over his shoulders,

the tags still attached. Inside the bags, they found several other items, including Under Armour sandals, Champs boxer briefs and gray Nike shorts.

Huffman, who is transient, told police he had paid for the items, which totaled $220. He had no receipt.

That dollar amount wouldn’t typically result in a felony charge.

But because Huffman has several prior theft convictions, he instead faces a felony.

He was arrested and taken to Monroe County Correctional Center.

MENTAL HEALTH & STUDENT COUNSELING

IUSA REFORM

ENVIORMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY

ENGAGE EMPOWER IU WITH IUSA

The ticket prioritizes self-selection and lack of multi-branch communication as issues it would like to address within IUSA. Sakbun said they intentionally did not hire any future executive staff because they want to make student government inclusive and dynamic for students interested in serving their community.

Focus has also mentioned better management of IUSA marketing and the use of executive budget to bring prominent speakers to campus.

Like other tickets, IGNITE promotes two way communication between the student body and IUSA. Its proposed increase and dispersion of IUSA office hours is meant to create policy which reflects the student body and not just the members of the IUSA.

Reforming IUSA, especially executive spending, is a driving pillar of Psych Up’s policy as it was of the previous Refund Supreme ticket, which threw its support behind Psych Up during spring break. McWilliams said his ticket would eliminate scholarships to executive members and use the funding to sponsor more CAPS and SACS counseling. Budget items which do not benefit the student body as a whole would be cut or reduced, and McWilliams said he hopes his ticket can better represent the campus.

Engage cites models currently used by the Jacobs School of Music and the School of Public and Environmental Affairs as precedent in expanding counseling services to all academic units. The ticket would like to expand CAPS services to cultural support centers and improve residential programming to raise awareness, provide support and decrease stigmas associated with mental illness.

Focus proposes educating the campus about availability of resources for those suffering from mental illness and survivors of sexual assault.

The ticket would like to extend CAPS to all residence halls and academic departments. They also propose expanding Sexual Assault Crisis Services.

Mental health funding and awareness is another driving pillar of Psych Up’s platform.

McWilliams said community education starting with incoming students is a good first step, but his ticket would also like to add 1,000 hours of free counseling at CAPS. The increase in CAPS funding would come from the elimination of executive scholarships, which amount to $12,000. SACS and CAPS funding is key to Psych Up’s platform.

Engage issued a press release earlier in March in response to Indiana Senate Bill 423, which would pull state funding from self-designated sanctuary campuses. The ticket expresses support for undocumented students and proposes creation and promotion of privatelyfunded scholarships reserved for undocumented students.

Focus’ website does not mention undocumented students specifically in its policy plan, nor does it have a sanctuary campus proposal.

IGNITE would like to designate IU a sanctuary campus. This would mean faculty and staff would not cooperate with any immigration enforcement officials who would potentially be on or near campus.

Its website said IU students, regardless of background, should not be denied the opportunity to be part of the campus community.

Psych Up supports a sanctuary campus resolution, and McWilliams said his ticket will act within its capacity to promote events and services which assist undocumented members of the IU community.

The Empower platform has a diagram of its proposal for structure of the executive branch of IUSA. The ticket would also like to live-stream all IUSA congressional voting sessions.

A pillar of its umbrella mission was increasing avenues of communication between the student body and IUSA.

Engage’s plan to reform current student government procedure involves increasing communication between legislative and executive branches of IUSA. Its platform lists more conversation within IUSA, between student groups and with the administration as a step toward increasing transparency in student government.

The ticket would like to increase access to counseling and institute a rollover program for Counseling and Psychological Services hours.

Students are given two free sessions but Empower said in its plan that students often require more. The plan lists collaboration with University Information Technology Services as a way to implement this rollover program.

Empower had not been explicit about supporting a sanctuary campus resolution, but during the debate suggested waiting for state and national decisions. It does express ensuring the safety of undocumented students, staff and faculty on campus.

McWilliams kept his statements and answers short and focused around the driving pillars of his ticket: increasing mental health funding and curbing IUSA budget items.

“Psych Up is not about mental health awareness,” McWilliams said. “It’s about

PSYCH UP FOR IUSA Psych Up wants to promote recycling initiatives and work to reduce or eliminate plastic bag usage on campus in favor of more sustainable, paper options.

McWilliams said the ticket has yet to cement specifics on plastic bag usage because they do not yet know what authority they may have if elected, but environmental sustainability is important to the ticket nonetheless.

The ticket would like to increase recycling initiatives across campus, along with taking a stance on fossil fuel divestment with the IU administration. The ticket also expressed a desire to continue an IUSA administration initiative which would institute a campus bike share program.

It would also like to increase the amount of locally-sourced food on campus and revitalize energy conservation efforts across campus.

IGNITE FOR IUSA IGNITE’s ‘green IU’ plan includes promoting IU’s partnership with carpool service Zimride and pushing the administration to divest from fossil fuels in order to reinvest in renewable energy. The ticket also proposes decreasing the amount landfill trash cans on campus while replacing some with categorized bins for plastic, glass and paper.

Empower proposes a collaboration with RPS to implement a five-cent plastic bag fee. Similar to other tickets, Empower supports divestment from fossil fuels in favor of clean energy but acknowledges in its policy statement this may take several years. They also propose an application which would help IU students track their own sustainability efforts, which they said would increase their involvement in these efforts.

Though the concealed carry question was not a prominent talking point of any campaign, Sakbun was prepared with an answer. As a member of Army ROTC, he

is required to train regularly with firearms. He walked a fine line between support for personal freedom and agreement with the other tickets like Engage, which focused on the reason why students feel unsafe, but not necessarily promote concealed carry as a primary safety measure.

EDITORIAL BOARD

Local annexation will prove itself beneficial Throughout this week, the city of Bloomington will have meetings to discuss the proposed annexation plan.

The city wants to incorporate nearly 10,000 acres around the outskirts of Bloomington into the city limits.

Most of this land is areas that have been planned for annexation for a while.

The plan includes an area dubbed “the two mile fringe,” which has been labeled as intended for annexation on maps of the past.

While controversial, this plan will ultimately benefit locals.

While this plan has been discussed for a while, there is still much work needed to be done for it to be final.

This is why the city council will be having meetings every day this week at the City Hall to discuss the proposed annexation, and contemplate grievances from citizens.

Many residents face this decision with mixed attitudes. The plan has both upsides and downsides. I, for one, think that this is a good plan but only if Bloomington city government lives up to the promises it is making.

The positives are that residents in the areas to be annexed would receive the services and benefits that the rest of Bloomington enjoys.

These services include everything from snow removal, to garbage and recycling pick up. Also, these areas will be part of the city’s fiber initiative. A plan to provide fiber internet to all of Bloomington.

However, many people living in these areas face this plan with apprehension. The land to be incorporated into Bloomington city limits will force residents living there to pay an additional property

tax on top of their existing tax rate.

Last year, 2016, the Property tax in Bloomington was 0.85, and these people will have to pay this tax on top of other taxes, like the Monroe County Community School Corp. and the Monroe County Library.

However, there will be a one-year buffer period for new residents under this plan. If these ordinances pass, the annexation will go through in 2020, but the new property taxes will not be put into effect until 2021.

Beyond the standard Bloomington services, this plan will also allow the city to have more control over the continuous construction over interstate 69.

John Hamilton, the mayor of Bloomington, stresses having more control over I-69 as a large perk of the annexation plan.

While raising taxes for citizens is never accepted with open arms, the taxes will provide many benefits to a wider range of citizens.

A consult evaluated the proposed tax plan and deemed that the city will receive little to no revenue, and that the costs will only be high enough to offset the expansion of Bloomington services.

This plan will benefit many people on the outskirts of Bloomington, allow the city to have more control over I-69 and allow land long intended to be annexed to become part of city limits. If the city can truly provide all of these services and benefits after annexation, this plan should go through. sareynol@umail.iu.edu

BRIAN’S CONSERVATIVE CORNER

IUSA elections are unconstitutional The IU Student Association’s election code is unconstitutional. Not just the school’s constitution.

Not just the state’s constitution. It’s unconstitutional with a big capital C. Against the George WashingtonJames Madison-United States kind of Constitution unconstitutional.

But first, a quick reminder: today and tomorrow are our student government’s election days. If historic numbers hold up that means fewer than one of five students will get on their laptops, fight through the exhausting battle of two-factor authentication and cast their votes for the next student body president.

Good job, team, we’re really on the whole civic duty grind right now.

On the other hand, the lack of interest might have something to do with uninspiring performance by past student governments. It could also be due to a farcical student Supreme Court that decides our election results based on tickets accusing each other of violating an incoherent election code.

No one really knows.

In the past, tickets have challenged each other based on specific rules in the election code — who overspent on what, who tabled where they weren’t supposed to table. Petty as they are, these complaints can cause the Supreme Court to change vote totals and election outcomes like they did in 2015 when the INTouch ticket was given the victory over AMPLIFY, which was disqualified.

A winning ticket could secure its election victory by challenging the election code on constitutional grounds and prevent the Supreme Court from attempting yet another judicial coup based on dubious vote deductions for campaign violations.

This approach would have the benefit of starting more entertaining Facebook fights for those of us at home and fixing our election code for future students. Win-win

to be honest.

IU is publicly funded and operated. That means First Amendment rights of freedom of speech, press and assembly are guaranteed to students on campus.

These freedoms were expressly extended to public universities decades ago in the U.S. Supreme Court case of Healy v. James (1972), where the Court noted campus speech merited special protection.

The state constitution and the IU student handbook guarantee freedom of speech. IU’s student code even goes as far to promise First Amendment protections for all students.

IU’s election code breaks this promise. Tickets are limited to well beyond reasonable “time and manner” restrictions, like not being allowed to blast a loudspeaker in the dorms at 3 a.m.

There are rules regulating free speech zones, when campaigning is allowed and who is allowed to do it.

Given recent U.S. Supreme Court rulings, there is even an argument to be made that the IUSA $3,000 total spending cap is a free speech limitation.

A student court holding election rules unconstitutional is well within the imagination — Wichita State University’s election body did it just last week.

Even if the IUSA Supreme Court fails, it is not the court of last appeal.

The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, is a nonpartisan advocacy group dedicated to providing free legal assistance to students whose free speech rights have been violated on campus, just give them a call or submit a claim at their website. The election complaints are inevitable. For the rest of us, let’s get out there and vote today. br.gamache@gmail.com

Vote Empower IU for IUSA Empower IU offers both pragmatism and passion for IU’s students On Wednesday and Thursday students can choose to vote for IGNITE, Empower IU, Engage with IU, Focus or Psych Up in the IU Student Association. The Editorial Board attended the election debate Tuesday to hear the platforms of the five tickets.

After reviewing the party platforms and hearing the candidates debate, the Editorial Board endorses Empower IU for the 2017 IUSA election.

Overall, we felt Empower IU President Dan Niersbach showcased a platform founded on pragmatic, data-driven policy. The ticket intends to gather this data by conducting student surveys to gauge where funds should be allocated and by studying successful policies implemented at other universities. While all other tickets had their respective merits, Empower IU’s focal points expressed determination and realism through their short-and-long term

plans.

For example, Empower IU pledged unequivocal support to undocumented students but acknowledged that declaring IU as a sanctuary campus is more complicated than it sounds.

Accomplishing such a task involves the combined efforts of the university and the community it represents as well as the state government. The University could lose critical funding if it officially identifies as a sanctuary campus without the state government’s support.

Despite this challenge, Empower IU has been working with the UndocuHoosier Alliance to ensure access to a quality education for everyone on campus.

All the tickets promised to value input from student organizations, but only Empower IU pledged to send representatives to meetings and events held by those organizations.

Previously, students in other organizations

would be required to attend an IUSA meeting to have their voices heard. We appreciate this active approach to advocacy and collaboration.

We’re sure you’ve been barraged by buzzwords like campus safety and freedom of speech, so we want to tell you about Empower IU’s concrete initiatives to address these issues.

With regard to safety, Empower IU wants to incorporate liaisons between the IUPD and students at risk of sexual assault like sororities and the LGBT community on campus.

This will encourage victims of sexual violence to reach out to familiar faces who can then contact the authorities. Many people fear interacting directly with the University or police on sexual crimes, and this initiative aims to encourage a higher reporting rate.

At the debate, Niersbach also spoke emphatically about freedom of speech.

He said that IU should welcome speakers from different ideologies and encourage students to challenge their ideas while on campus. If these speakers incite violence between students, however, the University should step in.

Engage with IU, Empower IU’s toughest competitor at the debate, also expressed strong support for student advocacy. However, the Editorial Board concluded that Empower IU’s platform was more practical given a one-year term in office.

We believe student voices will be best heard through Empower IU because it is a ticket that will use data-driven strategies to determine policy. Empower IU offers a distinct balance between passion and pragmatism that will best serve the student body.

Opinion Editor Zack Chambers is involved on an IUSA ticket and had no input on the Editorial Board’s decision.

KLEIN OF A BIG DEAL

Defense spending is the real threat to Americans President Trump released a $1.1 trillion budget last Thursday, the details of which confirm that his priorities need rearranging. As his presidency moves from hypothetical catastrophe to impending failure, it should be clear by now that he is not fit to lead the country.

Despite the fact that the United States currently spends more on defense than the eight next-highest spending countries combined, our current commander in chief believes our defense funds require a $54 billion increase.

Trump’s proposal will compensate for that increase with cuts to the Department of Health and Human Services, the Environmental Protection Agency and the State Department, among others.

The National Endowment for the Arts, as I have previously written, will be eliminated entirely if Congress does not

intervene.

In case there was any confusion over who would really be paying for his infamous wall, Trump’s budget blueprint requests an initial installment of $1.5 billion to be followed in 2018 by another $2.26 billion.

The notion that our military needs even an additional dollar and that we should be willing to sacrifice anything in the pursuit of the deadliest armed forces possible is ridiculous and dangerous. Trump might think he is acting in the interest of national security, but the violent threats he fears are unsubstantial shadows at best in comparison to the very real harm his budget would cause if it is not revised.

Specifically in relation to the arts, the NEA currently promises on its website that it will continue “to operate as usual and will do so until a new budget is enacted by

Congress.” In 2017 alone, 970 grants will support artists of all kinds in communities across the country at a projected cost of $25.981 million.

Eliminating plans for the disastrous border wall alone would pay for those grants 144 times.

In Indiana, for example, NEA grants will support several organizations and events in Indianapolis.

The 26th annual Heartland Film Festival will showcase documentaries, narrative features and short films, and the Indianapolis Museum of Art will launch innovative exhibits of contemporary art, including a feature on virtual reality.

Young Audiences of Indiana Inc. will facilitate a campaign for students in Jennings County, which lies 60 miles southeast of Bloomington, to design artworks that will be made available at their high school and in their commu-

nity, and there are others.

It’s easy for people like Trump to lose sight of what $25.9 million can do if put to good use or to think that the money would be better spent elsewhere. I’ll admit that I could stomach a cut — not an elimination, but a cut — to the arts if I knew that we’d be prioritizing initiatives to combat climate change, because you can’t do much of anything if the world ceases to exist.

But to terminate an organization that brings beauty, meaning and lasting joy to the lives of millions of Americans in the name of a misguided, paranoid obsession with instruments of destruction is not worth it — not even close. mareklei@umail.iu.edu

Dutch general elections prove similar to those in US Following Donald Trump’s electoral victory in November, citizens of the United States and the world let out a collective sigh as if to say, “Now what?”

Two months into Trump’s term, we’ve seen him serve up a bevy of heavy-handed executive orders, renege on campaign promises and take steps toward implementing cuts to public programs and agencies like the National Endowment for the Arts and the Environmental Protection Agency.

As disheartening as these past few months have been for some, the spread of Trump’s brand of populism across the globe is perhaps the most concerning trend in the bunch. Last week, the Netherlands went to the polls in the first major elections since Trump’s triumph.

Despite the Netherlands being home to fewer people than the state of Florida, the eyes of the global political community were fixed on this year’s Dutch general elections.

Geert Wilders, the incendiary leader of the ultraright wing Party for Freedom (PVV), who is seen by many as the Dutch incarnation of Trump, championed an anti-immigrant, anti-Islam agenda that called for closing mosques and Islamic schools and banning the Quran. During periods of the campaign, the PVV had led by wide margins.

The final round of polling prior to Wednesday’s election had Wilders’ PVV party trailing the incumbent Prime Minister Mark Rutte’s People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD) by a thin margin. The two rightwing parties were trailed by another, the Christian Democrats, as well as the more centrist Democrats 66 party and the Green Left.

By Thursday morning, the Netherlands exhaled a sigh of relief with news of the VVD’s victory. The previous night’s elections served as a discussion topic in my classes and many people seemed to feel they had dodged a bullet.

Upon further exploration and discussion, I’m not so sure that the crisis has been averted. In fact, I think it’s only the beginning.

Sure, Wilders’ collapse is

good news for liberals and the pro-EU community.

However, with the rise of the PVV, Rutte’s VVD and the Christian Democrats — the other mainstream right-wing parties — were pulled to the right on key issues. In January, Rutte released a statement advising immigrants to “act normal or go away.”

We saw this same gradual shift to the right during our presidential elections: once it became clear that Trump was more than a meme, the GOP began to normalize his rhetoric. Immigration was not a major policy point for the Republican Party until Trump proved he was a legitimate candidate.

Behind all the glee following the PVV’s so-called defeat, the party quietly won 20 seats compared to 15 last election. Meanwhile, the VVD lost eight seats to reduce its total to a still-respectable 33. There’s still no imminent reason to panic, but these results are trending in the wrong direction.

Additionally, without Rutte’s recent show of diplomatic strength against Turkey a little more than a week ago, the elections may have had a different result.

I think the Netherlands and the world should be cautiously relieved following last Wednesday’s election.

There’s absolutely no reason to believe populism has been defeated, but the result was promising.

It will be difficult for the PVV to deliver on its policies, as all major parties have said that they will not form a coalition with Wilders’ party. Given the breadth of ideologies and political parties represented in Dutch parliament, the formulation of a coalition is crucial to carrying out policy.

More than 80 percent of eligible Dutch citizens turned out to the polls compared to just over 60 percent in the U.S. If nothing else, voters realized the gravity of the elections and took initiative to exercise their ability to influence the result, and that’s comforting in itself. dkilcul@indiana.edu

Jo Baum paints with pastels

By Emily Berryman eberryma@indiana.edu | @Ember_Otter

On Tuesday evening, Bloomington residents with a taste for art gathered at the Venue Fine Art & Gifts to watch Jo Baum demonstrate her craft of pastel painting.

She presented to the audience surrounded by her pastel landscapes.

“Jo cold called us off the street and said she loved the Venue and wanted to have her work here,” said Gabriel Colman, curator of the Venue.

“We host art education series, and we reached out to her proactively knowing she had experience explaining her work.”

Baum has been painting with pastels for four years now and was previously making oil paintings.

“I grew up surrounded by art,” Baum said. “My grandfather was an artist. My mother used to take me to art museums, and I was drawn to the impressionists.”

Baum said she could not draw to save her life and that the only C she ever received in college was in drawing.

Nevertheless, she persisted.

Baum stressed that the way she painted and used pastels was not the way everyone used them.

Baum brought three canvases with her in different stages of completion. The first she had been working on for a few days while the others were examples of paintings in

values of pink or a mixture of colors. She explained she used pinks and oranges for sunny days and purples and greys on cloudy days.

“I got to a point last night where I hated it,” she said.

“But my instructor always said he had a similar problem, and if you liked it before just wait 10 minutes or two years because you will like it again.”

Baum said one of the bonuses of working with pastels is that there were no mistakes. She was unhappy with the piece she was bringing to demonstrate, but when she looked at her work the next morning, she was able to

remove some colors and get the perfect color she was looking for.

“It has even changed from bringing it over here,” Baum said. “It lost some color here, and now it looks like there is a path to the barn. I ended up getting something I was not expecting.”

Baum pointed to one of her many paintings on the wall, a detailed scene of a forest in winter, she had been so unhappy with the way it was turning out she took it out to the garbage can and brushed all the color off and started over.

Baum referred to the

painting of the forest and others of her works several times throughout her demonstration as she pointed out differences in style, technique and color.

Ultimately the piece was left unfinished, but Baum had shared much of her experience and some of her tricks when painting with pastels, leaving the audience with new techniques to try when looking at a pastel painting or even making their own. Recognizing pastel paintings can be difficult, Colman said it has been a lot of fun having Baum’s work on hand and seeing people’s reaction to it.

Dancers bring life to spring ballet

By Lydia Gerike lgerike@umail.iu.edu | @lydi_yeah

A group of dancers will step onstage depicting characters that represent an orchestra of instruments Friday and Saturday for this year’s spring ballet, “L’amour et la Mort” – “Love and Death.”

The instrumental first ensemble “Fanfare” features dancers personifying woodwind, string, brass and percussion instruments set to a musical piece called “Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra.”

“It’s very showy,” said sophomore Sterling Manka, who plays a percussion instrument. “It’s almost quirky. You have to love your part and go full out.”

“Fanfare” will be accompanied by George Balanchine’s

“The Steadfast Tin Soldier” and act two of “Giselle (Act II).”

The program for the spring ballet is selected about a year in advance, so the department often has to choose pieces based on the talent it has at the time, artistic director Michael Vernon said. There were no surprises, but he said he saw the improvements expected from students.

Manka and junior Maggie Andriani are set to take the roles of a tin soldier and paper doll, respectively, in “The Steadfast Tin Soldier.”

The ballet is about a tin soldier and a paper doll who come to life and fall in love, and the soldier gives the doll his tin heart. The two dance together, but fate keeps them apart in the end.

Despite its tragic ending,

Manka said he likes the piece.

“It’s the most adorable ballet ever,” he said.

The two dancers are alone on stage for the 12-minute piece, so Manka and Adriani maintained their technique, character and energy without any break.

For Manka, it helps to feed off the energy of his partner and her character. Andriani, who said she considers herself to be a serious dancer, has to find an innocence to bring to her performance.

“It’s kind of like reverting to that childlike state,” she said.

Like Manka, Adriani will also perform another role. In “Giselle (Act II),” she dances as one of the dead maidens known as weeping wilis.

Adriani has to bring a different energy to the ghostlike role, she said. Her arms are

more willowy and her eyes are often trained on the ground.

“I can’t think of more opposites than being a dead virgin and being a toy doll,” Andriani said.

The romantic-era “Giselle” is an traditional ballet, which the department tends to do less often, Vernon said.

“I think the time is right, since it’s been a few years since we’ve done one with this sort of nature,” Vernon said.

With this ballet, the dancers do not dance quite as much as an ensemble would in a contemporary ballet, Vernon said. However, it lets them have a chance to experience what it is really like to dance in a supporting role.

“I think that’s what we try to give them, a sense of becoming an artist, even in the corps de ballet,” Vernon said.

Two 2017 basketball signees ask for release

By Zain Pyarali zpyarali@indiana.edu | @ZainPyarali

IU basketball’s threeman recruiting class for 2017 is now down to one.

Forward Clifton Moore and guard Al Durham have both reportedly requested a release from their National Letters of Intent.

Mike Miller of the Bloomington Herald-Times was the first to report Moore’s request for his release. Al Durham Sr., Durham’s father and coach of the AAU team Southern Stampede, confirmed his

son’s release request with the Indiana Daily Student Monday.

Both reJustin Smith quests come on the heels of IU firing former head basketball coach Tom Crean last Thursday.

Moore is a 3-star recruit out of Horsham, Pennsylvania, and is the 143rd-best prospect nationally, according to 247 Sports.

Moore told the Indiana Daily Student in October that Crean and assistant

coach Chuck Martin were high on him during the recruiting process and Aljami the coaches were the main Durham reason why he chose IU. He was a bit of a secret in the recruiting world with only four total offers from major conference schools and also said he liked the idea of Crean and his staff developing under-the-radar players.

Durham is a 3-star

recruit out of Liburn, Georgia, and is ranked as the 50th-best point guard in the nation, Clifton Moore according to 247 Sports.

Durham was on hand for IU’s regular season finale at Ohio State and the NIT loss at Georgia Tech.

“The culture change to the coaching staff was the main reason for why he asked his release from his national letter of intent from Indiana,” Durham Sr. said.

“And Crean and his coaching staff was 99 percent of the reason why we chose Indiana.”

Durham posted a note on Twitter on Monday night to thank the Hoosier program for the support and said Crean and the rest of the coaching staff were a major part of why he chose IU. Durham Sr. confirmed that his son is opening back up his recruiting but would give the next IU coach a chance to recruit him as well.

As of now, no school has emerged as an early favorite

for Durham according to his father.

The third member of the recruiting class, Justin Smith out of Lincolnshire, Illinois, has not yet requested a release from his NLI. His high school coach Patrick Ambrose told the Indiana Daily Student that he is not sure what Smith is going to do yet in regards to his commitment.

IU Athletics Director Fred Glass said last Thursday that the department had reached out to all three of the signees of the 2017 class.

Hoosiers looking to win NCAA Championship

By Ben Portnoy bmportno@iu.edu | @bportnoy15

After an undefeated dual meet season and a prominent Big Ten title, the No. 4-ranked IU men’s swimming and diving team looks to add yet another trophy to its cupboard this year.

When the Hoosiers travel to compete at this weekend’s NCAA Championships, they won’t have far to go, as the meet will take place this Wednesday through Saturday at the IU Natatorium in Indianapolis. Head swim coach Ray Looze said the NCAAs will be a great opportunity for his athletes.

“We love this pool,” Looze said. “If you had to ask what the favorite pool for a lot of people would be, the IU

Natatorium.”

The Hoosiers finished ninth at the 2016 NCAA Championships, their fourth top-10 finish in five years, but this year they appear poised for a top-five finish.

The swimmers will be lead by juniors Blake Pieroni and Ali Khalafalla and sophomores Vini Lanza and Ian Finnerty. Pieroni, who won a gold medal at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics, has anchored the Hoosiers all season.

His best results include sweeping the 100- and 200yard freestyle events five separate times, in addition to being named Big Ten Swimmer of the Week three times and National Swimmer of the Week once. He will be seeded No. 2 in the 100-yard freestyle and No. 3

in the 200-yard freestyle.

Lanza, coming off a Big Ten Championship where he won four golds and one silver medal, enters the NCAAs on a hot streak. He was named Big Ten Swimmer of the Championships for his performance at the conference meet, and the Brazilian will compete in the 100- and 200-yard butterfly in addition to the 200yard IM. He will be seeded No. 7 in both butterfly events.

Finnerty has been equally as impressive. He comes into NCAAs having successfully defended his 100-yard breaststroke at Big Tens. He will compete in the 100- and 200-yard breaststroke and the 200-yard individual medley.

He is seeded No. 3 in the 100 breast and No. 6 in the 200

IM. Khalafalla could also post some big results for the Hoosiers. Khalafalla has won the 50-yard freestyle five times this season and he will swim both the 50- and 100-yard free this week.

“They know how to get their hand on the wall and they like to race,” Looze said of his four best swimmers.

“They think about it constantly, they dream about it.

And they’re among the better swimmers at this meet.”

Juniors Cody Coldren and Michael Hixon and sophomore James Connor will represent the Hoosier divers. Hixon enters the week after being named Big Ten Diver of the Championships after winning both the 1- and 3-meter dives

and finishing sixth in the 10-meter platform.

Connor wasn’t 100 percent healthy at Big Tens but bounced back at the NCAA Zone C Championships by winning the 3-meter and finishing fourth in the 1-meter and seventh in the 10-meter platform.

Hixon and Connor will both compete in the 1- and 3-meter springboard, while Connor will compete in the 1-, 3- and the 10-meter platform.

Competition will begin at 6 p.m. Wednesday night with the 800-yard freestyle relay timed finals. The Hoosiers enter the event as the No. 2 seed.

“This is the best,” Looze said. “I can’t wait to measure our group of guys against the best in the NCAA.”

Coming off a four-game series in Hawaii that resulted in three wins, IU is back home in Bloomington on Wednesday afternoon to play host to Cincinnati.

After winning their first three games, the Hoosiers gave up a six-run lead and eventually lost to the Rainbow Warriors, 11-10. Before the loss, though, the Hoosiers were riding a five-game win streak.

“I like how we’re playing right now,” IU Coach Chris Lemonis said. “We won three real gritty games out there, but the last one still leaves a sour taste in your mouth.

We’re still trying to figure out the end of the game for us, and that’s been a little bit of our Achilles’ heel early in the season.”

Senior outfielder Alex Krupa starred for IU, 9-8-1, against Hawaii, 11-8, and took home Big Ten Player of the Week honors.

The Rainbow Warriors struggled to figure him out. Krupa batted .533 and smacked eight hits through the week.

“It doesn’t really matter to me,” Krupa said, referring to his recognition by the conference. “I mean I’m happy that it happened, I’m happy that we had a good weekend down there as a whole, but I wish we would’ve gotten that fourth one. But it doesn’t really mean anything to me.”

In the teams’ March 1 meeting in Cincinnati, the Bearcats, 9-9, defeated the Hoosiers 6-1 to drop them below .500 at 3-4-1. Now, IU is preparing to defend its home field and get more production SEE REVENGE, PAGE 8

BASEBALL

Freshman takes advantage of opportunity

By Taylor Lehman trlehman@indiana.edu @TaylorRLehman

Before IU lost the finale of a four-game series against Hawaii, the Hoosiers had won five consecutive games since the second game of the Middle Tennessee series in Bloomington.

Since game two of that opening home series, one player’s Matt Gorski brought consistent production to the lineup where players before him struggled: freshman Matt Gorski.

» REVENGE

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 at the plate after failing to record a single hit with a runner on base in 15 opportunities. They also went 0-6 with runners in scoring position in that loss.

Cincinnati has struggled on the road this year and found itself on the losing end of eight of its 12 road games.

IU, on the other hand, is 2-1 at home this season and 77-23 at Bart Kaufman Field since it opened in 2013.

Krupa said his own confidence has been raised based on his recent performances in addition to the team’s collective confidence improving after winning three tough road games last week.

“As a team, it’s huge,”

Horoscope

Gorski has seen action in 11 games throughout the season and has started seven of them and got at least one hit in every game he’s started.

However, it was his play against Middle Tennessee that helped spark the 5-2 run the Hoosiers put up against their last two opponents.

He relieved senior Austin Cangelosi at first base and in the second spot in the starting lineup for the final two games of the series and went 4-for-8 with three runs scored and three walks. IU won both of those games.

Then the Hoosiers traveled to Hawaii for their series against the Rainbow

Warriors, and Gorski started in right field to give junior outfielder Logan Sowers a day of rest.

He went 1-for-3 with two runs scored, one RBI and a walk that scored senior outfielder Alex Krupa to extend their lead to three runs in the seventh inning.

For most utility players, the rest of the series would have included spot appearances in the field with few at-bats left but not for Gorski. He started the next three games in Hawaii.

The freshman played first base for the next three games with Cangelosi at designated hitter, and he totaled a .333 batting average with six runs scored, five

Krupa said. “We really needed that, especially for Wednesday so we can pull this one out against Cincinnati because they have had some success at home against us, which doesn’t make us happy.”

The Hoosiers also received a boost at the plate in Honolulu by freshman infielder Matt Gorski, who recorded three hits including his first college home run Sunday.

Lemonis said Gorski, as a young guy, has been stuck behind older players but got his chance as some of the older guys faltered a bit recently.

“Guys have been coming along the last couple weeks,” Lemonis said. “I said at the beginning of the year

IU (9-8-1) vs. Cincinnati (9-9) 4:30 p.m., Wednesday, Bart Kaufman Field that we’re talented. We just didn’t play well off the bat.

It’s nice to see some of those guys have a great weekend like Alex Krupa, Matt Gorski, Luke Miller and Logan (Sowers).”

Lemonis had not yet made a decision on who will be the Hoosiers’ starting pitcher against Cincinnati as of 4 p.m. Tuesday, nor did he know who would get the call for the Bearcats.

“They’re a really good defensive team,” Lemonis said.

“They have played us tough every time, so we know we’re in for a good match.”

Krupa was on base when Gorski escaped a potential a Hawaii double play in the ninth of game two to score the game-winning run.

Krupa was the runner who scored in game three when Gorski knocked an RBI single to take the lead in the third inning, a lead IU would never surrender.

Krupa was also the runner that scored when Gorski hit an RBI double to tie game four at 4-4 in the fifth inning.

getting a (pitcher) in his stretch or a runner on base so you always have RBI opportunities,” Gorski said.

“It’s really nice.”

Gorski’s biggest hit came in the first inning of the final game of the series against Hawaii, when the freshman knocked the first home run of his career to left field.

When asked if he’d remember that moment for the rest of his life, he said for sure. But he’d like to stay in the starting lineup.

That decision is in Lemonis’ hands.

“He’s been really good in practice but just had to wait his turn a little bit, and now he’s taking advantage of it,” Lemonis said.

Senior Alex Krupa returns to the dugout after his first career home run on Saturday at Bart Kaufman Field.

Krupa’s solo home run led off a 7-run third inning for IU, who went on to beat Middle Tennessee 12-1. lax and rest, especially in stressful moments. Breathe deeply.

“It was kind of a surprise because I didn’t know,” Gorski said about starting in Hawaii. “I just kind of got thrown a first base glove and was told, ‘Hey, you might be starting this weekend.’ It was kind of a surprise, but I felt like I could do it.”

Gorski credited a lot of his success at the plate to batting in the second spot of the lineup behind Krupa — the Big Ten Player of the Week. Krupa batted .533 with two doubles, a triple, three RBI and five runs scored during the six games that Gorski started.

Hoosiers hold steady in NCAA rankings From IDS Reports

Freshman Marcelino Ball punches the ground in frustration after failing to secure a potential interception at Memorial Stadium on Oct. 15, 2016. IU lost to Nebraska, 27-22.

Freshman experiencing first spring

By Taylor Lehman trlehman@indiana.edu @TaylorRLehman

As impressive as freshman defensive back Marcelino Ball’s burst onto the defensive scene was in 2016, there were still some rookie moments that got to IU safeties coach Noah Joseph.

“He had some stupid mental busts where it was like, ‘What are you thinking?

Where are you at?’ and he gave up a big play or a touchdown,” Joseph said.

Even though the freshman accumulated 75 tackles, good for third-most on the team, Ball was often a liability in pass coverage, mainly on deep passes. On many occasions, teams would target receivers deep on Ball’s side of the field.

Joseph said that liability came from Ball’s concern about things on the field that were out his control. Jo-

seph said many young players face this problem at the college level because they haven’t adjusted to a system where they aren’t required to freelance and make big plays.

Ball pointed toward one play in 2016 against then-No. 10 Penn State when IU was leading 24-21 at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

Penn State needed a big play.

Ball lined up between the linebackers and safeties on the right side of the offensive line and looked into the backfield.

Penn State was lined up in a three-by-one formation, where there were two receivers on his side of the field and one running back in the backfield, Ball said. He was supposed to “read three, stay two,” or read for a run in the backfield and stay on his receiver if it was a pass.

The ball was snapped, and Penn State quarterback Trace McSorley handed the

ball to running back Saquon Barkley. Ball keyed the run and sprinted toward the line and left his man, DaeSean Hamilton, streaking down the middle of the field.

Barkley tossed the ball back to McSorley, who threw a bomb to Hamilton. Ball caught up and brought Hamilton down at the three after 54 yards. Penn State scored a touchdown two plays later to take the lead and eventually defeat IU. “That was a sad moment,” Ball said. “A scary moment.”

Those are the types of mental gaffs Ball and Joseph are looking to minimize for 2017 as Ball becomes more familiar with the new husky position IU Coach Tom Allen introduced to the program last season while he served as defensive coordinator.

“It’s hard because at the husky position we’re asking that guy to do a lot, both physically and mentally, so

that’s a challenge,” Joseph said. “Also, for young guys, one of their biggest things is their eyes. What am I looking at? What am I keying? What is it telling me?”

Ball said spring ball helps him get better at using his eyes and mentally adjusting to the college game as he also develops a bond with his coaches and teammates.

After committing to IU in February 2016, Ball and most of the freshmen in the Class of 2016 didn’t participate in spring practices. The freshman won the husky position in summer and jumped right into his responsibilities in the fall.

“Fall isn’t really the time to get to bond,” Ball said. “It’s a fight for a position type of time, but now it’s time to rekindle. We’ve started to communicate and connect well. We need each other. I need the coaches, and the coaches need me. It’s like a

relationship type of time.”

Ball said not only does he want to improve on his own mistakes from 2016, but he wants to help the defense as a whole improve on its mistakes as well. Before he can do that, he has to maintain his position through the spring.

Allen has bred a competitive environment within positional groups where the best players play and no starter has a guaranteed spot.

Ball earned the husky position in summer 2016, and now he plans to prove he can keep it for the 2017 season before he gets ahead of himself, he said.

“When it’s time to tackle or play to keep a position or get a position, you gotta do what you gotta do,” Ball said smiling after saying the phrase for the third time. “I know I say that a lot, but it’s kind of my saying. You gotta do what you gotta do.”

IU Coach Jeremy Wurtzman said, regardless of results, IU men’s tennis is competing at the same level as other NCAA Tournament teams right now. His claim was validated Tuesday in the latest Intercollegiate Tennis Association rankings.

Although IU lost to unranked Texas Tech 4-3 during its spring break tour last week, the Hoosiers remained in the No. 35 spot in the team rankings and even have a singles player and a doubles pair ranked.

The Hoosiers were only one singles win from getting the win against the Red Raiders, a team that defeated them 6-1 last season, in San Diego on Thursday afternoon.

The close result of the matchup and level of competition was enough for the ITA to keep IU in the same spot it had been in the previous rankings.

IU sophomore Antonio Cembellin played well in a matchup with then-No. 63 Johan Cailleau of Texas Tech. After an admirable performance in a loss that included a 12game second set, Cembellin returned to the singles ranked spots at No. 121 after not being ranked March 7.

Cailleau’s victory over IU’s skilled sophomore earned him a 21-spot rise in the rankings to No. 42.

Despite not playing together since Feb. 19 due to an injury, IU juniors Keivon Tabrizi and Raheel Manji stayed ranked in the top-80 doubles teams of the country at No. 70.

IU will return to its courts March 26 to face Detroit and No. 20 Northwestern, with 10 matchups remaining in the regular season.
