SWIMMING AND DIVING

Coach retires after decades in Big Ten swimming

By Ben Portnoy bmportno@iu.edu | @bportnoy15

IU swimming and diving associate head coach Dennis Dale has spent more than three decades as a coach in the Big Ten, but his storied career is coming to a close.

With his brief stint at IU winding down and the longtime coach set to retire at the end of the season, Dale’s coworkers and swimmers alike are reflecting on the mark Dennis Dale he left both in and out of the pool.

“He’s just a great guy,” IU Coach Ray Looze said. “He’s a legend. He’s one of the greatest Big Ten swimming coaches that’s ever been in the conference.”

Dale, who is in his third year as an assistant with the Hoosiers, will retire at the end of this season. He spent 29 years as the men’s head coach at Minnesota prior to arriving at IU in 2014.

Junior swimmer Blake Pieroni said Dale has been a great mentor for him in his life away from the pool.

“He’s a huge proponent of grades and all kinds of getting a good GPA and getting into life after swimming, which I know helps people,” Pieroni said.

Dale began his coaching career at Burnsville High School in Burnsville, Minnesota, where he won four state

championships. In 1985, he moved on to his alma mater, Minnesota, where he brought the program to heights it hadn’t reached since the 1920s.

In his time with the Golden Gophers, Dale led the team to seven Big Ten Championships, including the program’s first since 1926. He also coached 181 Academic All-Big Ten honorees and 31 Academic All-Americans.

Despite all the success through the decades, Dale’s time at Minnesota abruptly ended after the 20132014 season. After 29 years, one of the most important figures in Minnesota swimming and diving history was unceremoniously relieved of his duties.

“Leaving the University of Minnesota as a coach, under the conditions I left, was extremely painful and hurtful,” Dale said. “And I thought, ‘How can they treat people this way?’

I was angry, mad and hurt. That part, you know, hasn’t gone away.”

According to Dale, Minnesota never gave him a reason for his release. He said the school told him it was not firing him, but it would not renew his contract. A Minnesota spokesperson could not provide details surrounding Dale’s departure from the school further than his dates of employment.

After parting ways with Minnesota, Dale said he seriously SEE DALE, PAGE 6

For graduate student David Silverstein, most Christmases are spent eating Chinese take-out with his family. However, for one Christmas in middle school, Silverstein found himself decorating a Christmas tree and exchanging gifts at his grandmother’s house.

While he was raised Jewish, Silverstein’s mother had grown up as a Lutheran. Celebrating Christmas at his grandmother’s house was Silverstein’s first introduction to his Christian roots.

“I definitely identify as Jewish, but it was so cool to be pulled into this new side of my family’s religious history that I never really understood or knew existed before,” Silverstein said.

More Americans like Silverstein have been growing up in interfaith homes in recent years, according to a 2016 Pew Research Center study.

While only 20 percent of the previous generation was raised in such households, 27 percent of the millennial generation is being raised in interfaith homes.

Forty-four percent of Americans says shared religious beliefs are “very important” in a marriage, according to the same study.

The Interfaith Families Project, headquartered in Washington, D.C., seeks to promote this growth and to support interfaith families.

Matthew McGrath, IFFP member and Indiana native, said most people only ask about the challenges of an interfaith family, but he wants to change that narrative. He said raising his children in a household that celebrates his Catholicism and his wife’s Judaism has strengthened his family.

“Celebrating both sides has taught us about inclusion and uniting as a family,” he said. “It’s helped us bridge gaps and understand one another.”

While Silverstein does not identify as Lutheran, he said having his mother as a source of information about Christianity has helped him understand other religions and other people.

“I think any opportunity you have to understand a different group of people, even if they’re not a group you identify as, expands your perspective of the world,” he said.

Lutheranism and Judaism emphasize similar core values of doing good and serving others, Silverstein said. Both religions influenced his value system.

As a result, he said he would be open to raising an interfaith family of his own in the future.

“I don’t think I’d ever let religion stand in the way of a potential relationship,” he said. “I’m happy to celebrate the differences instead of feeling put off by them.”

Susan Katz Miller, author of “Being Both: Embracing Two Religions in One Interfaith Family,” also grew up with Christian and Jewish parents. However, her parents decided to raise her Jewish because interfaith households were so SEE INTERFAITH, PAGE 6 ROSE BYTHROW | IDS

IU scuba diving course offered for certification

By Sophia Raymond raymonds@indiana.edu

Native American dancer Lucas Cleveland prepares for the Intertribal Dance performance during the 5th Annunal Traditional Powwow in Alumni Hall. IU’s First Nations Educational and Culture Center sponsored the event.

First Nations leaders will meet From IDS reports

IU is forming an advisory group to strengthen the University’s relationship with the Native American community. This new advisory group, called the First Nations Leadership Ambassadors Council, will advise IU on how best to recruit and keep more Native American students and faculty, according to an IU press release.

The Council will meet with IU officials April 6 and 7 before the annual Powwow .

The council will be made up of six members, each of who has stated their personal support for those in the Native American community: Ben Barnes, second chief of

the Shawnee Tribe; Glenna Wallace, chief of the Eastern Shawnee Tribe; Nicky Michael, secretary of the Delaware Tribe of Indians; Phillip Deloria, professor of American culture and history at the University of Michigan; Richie Meyers, tribal relations director for South Dakota State University; and Kelli Mosteller, director and tribal historic preservation officer of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation Cultural Heritage Center “I hope this council will increase a Native voice at Indiana University,” Barnes said in the press release. “Since Indiana is named after Native people, I would like to see a stronger Native presence at IU. I would like to see more

Native students, particularly from the tribes that were removed from Indiana.”

The council will advise the University on issues such as helping IU recruit and retain more Native students and faculty, increasing scholarship and financial aid opportunities for Native students and providing services that help IU form a better connection with the Native American community.

Nicky Belle, director of the First Nations Educational and Cultural Center, said he believes the council will have a positive influence on both the relationship between IU and the Native American communities.

“The people who have

been invited to serve on the First Nations Leadership Ambassadors Council have an incredible amount of wisdom and experience that can help guide IU to better serve Native students and faculty, and improve and streamline interaction between tribal communities and the university,” Belle said in the press release.

The council is the first step in improving relations between IU and Native Americans and will help create an environment where “Native students and faculty can thrive,” James Wimbush, IU vice president for diversity, equity and multicultural affairs, said in the release.

IU scuba instructor Sam Haskell’s main focus is to promote the creation of underwater parks and cultural heritage tourism.

Haskell is the laboratory coordinator for underwater science, and he teaches the scuba diving certification course through the School of Public Health.

The course provides an insight into underwater culture and protecting the marine world.

After graduating from IU with degrees in underwater archaeology, anthropology and history in 2015, Haskell was offered a fulltime position as a lecturer.

His research focuses on how shipwrecks and other submerged pieces of history can act as catalysts for the biological growth of endangered species.

“I called it in my thesis ‘protecting the cultural past and the environmental present,’” Haskell said IU divers conduct most of their research in the Dominican Republic, but also in the Cayman Islands and Florida Keys.

Haskell said that there is a three-masted schooner at the bottom of Lake Michigan, and it’s like imagining a perfectly preserved pirate ship.

The Ironsides, a mid19th century freighter in Lake Michigan, is now completely encrusted in an invasive zebra mussel species.

This biological phenomenon can be seen in ways other than scuba diving, including snorkeling, skin diving and even on glass-bottom boat tours.

This summer, a few divers from this course will be accompanying Haskell to the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary to complete their certification dives in open water.

Among those to go on the trip is junior Savanna Lee Brock, a biology student who is interested in lab work and animal science.

Brock said she hopes to incorporate her diving skills into a marine biology career.

This course is a necessary component of her

education for her intended career path, but she said she enjoys the easygoing, peaceful nature of the course at the end of a long week.

“If you’re looking for community, fun and a therapeutic relief from academia life, this is where to go,” Brock said. “There’s a good chance you’ll fall in love and become addicted.”

The scuba diving course isn’t only for those who want to incorporate diving into their careers.

Another student in the course is Ryan Conkin, a senior majoring in biology and theater.

She will be heading to law school at the University of New Hampshire next year.

She said she is taking this course because diving has been a longtime interest of hers and she finally has time to get certified.

“It’s incredibly peaceful being underwater,” Conkin said. “We were just hovering in the shallow end, and when you’re not touching the bottom you just feel completely weightless. It’s pretty cool.”

Conkin said she plans to make scuba diving a lifelong hobby, and she is looking forward to diving in the Galápagos Islands once she achieves her diving certification.

Haskell said that since scuba has become easily accessible for recreational divers, underwater cultural heritage is disappearing. Some divers loot abandoned shipwrecks in search of valuables, which destroys the biology of the wrecking process.

Because of this, research divers like Haskell are working to preserve shipwrecks as protected underwater sites that can be visited safely by divers.

Haskell stressed the ocean is a culture in and of itself, and it should be respected and celebrated.

“We need to get people out seeing the ocean and appreciating it,” Haskell said. “It really is a finite resource, and it’s not going to be around for much longer unless we make a radical change in the way that we think about the marine environment.”

Pence lawsuit moves forward

By Taylor Telford ttelford@indiana.edu | @ttelford1883

A lawsuit for Vice President Mike Pence’s emails is at the Indiana Supreme Court’s doorstep and could have a major effect on government transparency in the state.

The lawsuit, filed by Indianapolis labor lawyer William Groth, centers on a 2014 records request for then-Gov. Pence’s emails. Pence’s lawyers argued Pence complied with the records request to a fair extent and the judiciary has no right to force him to release some sensitive documents that he withheld because doing so would interfere with the core function of the Indiana executive branch.

If the court decides to take the case, the decision could determine standards for the governor’s office in future records requests. Pence’s team is trying to narrow public access, Groth’s attorney, Greg Bowes, said. However, he added, for government transparency to function, the government can’t hide from its people.

“Every time they press for a narrower idea of what should be considered public record, they’re effectively destroying public transparency,” Bowes said.

In December 2014, Groth requested documents per-

taining to Pence’s decision to have Indiana join a lawsuit to challenge one of thenPresident Barack Obama’s executive orders. When then Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller said he wouldn’t represent the state if it joined the lawsuit, Pence had to spend taxpayer money to hire private legal counsel. Groth requested all correspondence and documents relating to Pence’s choice to hire private counsel. When the documents Pence released didn’t appear to meet the standards of the request, Groth sued.

When the trial court sided with Pence, Groth appealed.

Among the heavily redacted documents Groth received was an email from the Texas governor’s chief of staff, who urged recipients to join the lawsuit. Attached to the email was a document prepared by the Texas attorney general’s office, which outlined “the legal theories supporting the State [of Texas’] legal challenge to the President’s recent executive orders on immigration,” according to court documents.

Pence didn’t release the

attached document, and he argued he shouldn’t have to release it because it involved “deliberative material,” which is material used in decisionmaking for the executive branch. Generally, the governor can withold or release deliberative material at their own discretion. Pence also argued releasing the attachment would violate the confidentiality of the attorneyclient relationship, although Indiana had not yet joined the lawsuit at the time the email

Indy nonprofit collects items for refugees

By Alexa Chryssovergis aachryss@indiana.edu | @achryssovergis

INDIANAPOLIS — In the front of the Vermilion family’s Washington Township lawn, an orange, green and blue sign sticks out from the ground, with the same phrase written on it in Spanish, English and Arabic.

“No matter where you are from, we’re glad you’re our neighbor,” it read.

When Traci and Chris Vermilion began to notice that basic needs of refugees were not being fulfilled in their community, they decided to take matters into their own hands. They spearheaded Indiana Refugee Network, now an official nonprofit group that provides assistance in the form of guidance and supplies to refugee families in the greater Indianapolis area.

IRN had its second official supply drive Saturday morning, using the power of social media to create an event page and draw in volunteers and donors. They’d had one previous call for items, when they put the word out that they needed coats and clothing, but this was the first time they’d set aside a specific time for donors to bring in items.

The drive took place at the Vermilions’ house, where black boxes and shelves were set all along their driveway for different categories of needs. People brought toilet paper, paper towels, napkins, laundry detergent, fabric softener, dryer sheets, dish detergent, underwear, socks, feminine products, towels, soap, shampoo and conditioner and other toiletries. Traci Vermilion said they ended up collecting a couple thousand items total and were able to completely fill their brand new 10-by-30 storage unit that they’ve only

shared so many times that it was seen by about 21,000 people, he said.

On Saturday, they put out sign up sheets for new donors that stopped by and might be interested in sticking around to help with future events.

It’s been neat to see how Hoosiers still have a heart to help others, he said.

He said he thinks a lot of people don’t understand the difference between undocumented immigrants, legal immigrants and refugees, but they are all very different groups of people.

Refugees didn’t choose to come here, Chris Vermilion said. They were placed.

“If we were struggling, I’d want someone to help my own children,” Chris Vermil-

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 was sent. Additionally, Pence said the court couldn’t force him to produce the attachment or hand over the files unredacted under a provision in the Indiana constitution regarding separation of powers.

The provision prevents the judiciary from interfering with the functions of the legislative or executive branches.

“Judicial inquiry into what documents the Governor chose to withhold from Groth in responding to his specific requests about Indiana’s challenge to President Obama’s actions constitute intermeddling with the internal functions of the execu-

ion said. “That’s the way I look at things.”

Chris and Traci Vermilion’s 13-year-old daughter, Emma Vermilion, was flitting around and helping out on the chilly Saturday morning.

Their 10-year-old son, Carter, came back from a sleepover later on during the event.

Their kids have gotten close with some of the refugee families, despite barriers to these friendships, Traci Vermilion said.

“It doesn’t matter the language, it doesn’t matter the culture,” she said. “They get right in there and play with them.”

One family the Vermilions have been working closely with since the beginning of the IRN’s start are the Batmans, a Syrian refugee tive branch,” Pence’s lawyers wrote in their argument.

In January, the appellate court ruled in Pence’s favor, but the court rejected Pence’s assertion that the court couldn’t force him to produce the attachment. In the official opinion, the judges pointed out that, according to Pence’s argument, he was saying public access rules should not apply to him and his staff.

“We reject the Governor’s assertion that his ‘own determinations’ regarding whether to disclose public records are not subject to judicial review,” the judges wrote in the opinion.

After losing in trial court, Groth petitioned the Indiana Supreme Court to take the case in early February. In a 30-page petition filed Feb.

family.

The Batman family fled Homs, Syria and settled in America in 2015 and the IDS reported on their lives in 2015 and again after President Trump’s refugee ban.

Rakan Batman had been her student, Traci Vermilion said. When she first knew him, he used to only say, “My name is Rakan. I don’t speak English,” she said.

Now, he came with his mom and another refugee family, the Habous, to the IRN event, and was able to act as a quasi translator.

Some, such as Diana and Kevin Pannell, just started volunteering with the IRN. The refugee issue wasn’t really on their radar until the political rhetoric surrounding it began to shift in a very

negative direction.

Others, such as Sally Roscetti, have been involved for longer. Roscetti’s daughter Katy Roscetti and Emma Vermilion have been friends since they were in first grade, so the mom heard about IRN in its earlier stages and helped spread the word.

They don’t want to reinvent the wheel, Traci Vermilion said. They won’t step on the toes of the many organizations who already have successful back-to-school drives or English-speaking classes.

But the IRN is growing, and Traci Vermilion said she hopes it continues to expand.

“We need to be servicing hundreds,” she said. “We just haven’t had the resources to do it right now.”

24, Pence’s lawyer Joseph Chapelle urged the court not to take the case. Interference by the court in the case would affect the way the executive branch functions, Chapelle wrote. If the court takes the case, Chapelle also made an argument for absolute executive privilege, which allows the executive branch to withhold information from the courts, but executive privilege has never before been extended to the Indiana governor’s office.

Further scrutiny has been directed at Pence’s use of email this week, after the Indianapolis Star reported Pence used a personal email to handle state business and was even hacked at one point. After learning of Pence’s private emails, Bowes filed a motion Monday ask-

ing the case to be remanded to trial court, which would allow them to go back and explore anything related to the case that might be hiding in Pence’s private emails.

Any new information found in private emails wouldn’t change the basics of the case, but it could shed light on how Pence’s office was operating or why the email attachment couldn’t be released, Bowes said.

The case now is about more than just the documents, Bowes said.

The arguments made by Pence’s lawyers run counter to the public interest, and that is what the lawsuit is fighting now.

“We want to fight these battles to get a better legal reading that promotes transparency,” Bowes said.

“I saw the calm, the peace, the tranquility they had, and I wanted that,” he said. “So I decided to take Islam on a test drive.”

Soon thereafter Holdbrooks said he saw changes in his life. He quit drinking.

He quit smoking. He began studying the Quran. And while before he never wanted anything to do with religion, he began to believe in God. Holdbrooks said he wants to protect Muslims in the United States so they don’t face the same hardships of the Muslims he met at Guantanamo Bay. As a result, Holdbrooks supports the Muslim Legal Fund of America, an organization meant to defend Muslims against injustices in the courtroom.

He said progress is possible when you have law and education. But without it, minorities are powerless, he said.

“If you do not receive legal rights in this country, you don’t exist,” he said.

Holdbrooks said he hopes to assert the existence of Muslims and ensure they receive the same rights and protections as any other American.

Despite recent setbacks due to the current political climate, he said seeing people attend his talks at Islamic Centers around the country gives him hope that people are listening.

By hearing Holdbrooks’ story, attendee Fatima Ahmed said she learned the importance of being open to different groups. She said she also realized transcendental power of faith.

“I took away just that you can find faith anywhere, even in the worst situations,” she said.

Zuheir Khlaif, Islamic Center executive board member and attendee, said understanding Holdbrooks’ experience gave him a new hope.

“It shows we can change the negative thoughts and ideas of others to have a good view of Muslims,” he said.

For Khlaif, changing the negative views of others involves communicating with the community and displaying the diverse faces of Islam, including Holdbrooks’.

Holdbrooks said such progress is within reach.

“Every minority aside from white Protestant males have been where Muslims are now,” he said. “It shows that we can make progress.”

Holdbrooks said he wasn’t taught anything about Islam until he was taken to the site of the 9/11 terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center.

There, he said he was offered a narrow-minded perspective of Muslims.

He was told to never be complacent in dealing with Muslims.

“They hate you because you have freedom,” his officer told him. “They hate you because you have democracy. They wake up in the morning wanting to spill your blood.”

Holdbrooks was told to never forget what Islam had done to them at ground zero.

And he believed them.

That is, until he experienced life as an officer at Guantanamo Bay. There, Holdbrooks said he saw Muslim men beaten and tortured every day. Once, he said officers were told to wake prisoners up and move them from cell to cell every twenty minutes, keeping them awake for days until they passed questioning.

Another time, a man was not allowed to shower for five days. The Muslim prisoners were also often prevented from praying.

After just a few months at the prison, Holdbrooks said he and many of his fellow military police officers had turned to alcohol to curb suicidal thoughts.

“I didn’t want to wake up,” he said. “And I didn’t want to torture people.”

So he went to some higher-ranked officers.

“Sir, with all due respect, I’m thinking about killing myself,” he said to them.

He said they told him it would get easier with time.

But it didn’t.

Holdbrooks said he was miserable, but he saw prisoners laughing and talking to one another despite their situation.

He said he couldn’t understand what they had to be happy about, so he asked.

Time after time, prisoners responded saying Allah was just testing them.

“The people I was torturing and abusing daily valued their faith the same as they valued breathing,” he said.

Afterward, Holdbrooks said a detainee tried to hand him a Quran. At first he hesitated, but he then he took it and read it in four days.

had for a few weeks.

She said she first got the idea to begin reaching out to refugee families during her job as an English as a Second Language teacher. She’d be talking to her students and discover they had needs more pressing than learning in school.

“I have a heart for refugees,” Traci Vermilion said.

“It’s hard to get them to learn when they have other immediate needs at home.”

For a year and a half, the Vermilions were just running the unofficial organization on their own, she said. When they realized their community’s needs were too big, they decided to make a Facebook group to recruit more help.

In 2016, they got incorporated, and got their official nonprofit status in March of that year. They used to gather supplies sporadically, or would sometimes come home to find random items left on their porch. Thanks to the Facebook event, they were able to reach out to people they wouldn’t have known otherwise. Now, Traci Vermilion said, they service anywhere from 20 to 30 families. A majority of people they help include Syrian, Eastern African and Burmese refugees, though the IRN certainly isn’t limited to those groups.

Doctoral organ student performs at Auer Hall

By Hannah Reed hanreed@umail.iu.edu | @hannahreed13

The sound of an organ reverberated through Auer Hall as Peter Rogahn performed his doctoral recital.

About 30 people attended the recital at 5 p.m. Monday.

Before Rogahn, 32, began the show with Marcel Dupré‘s “Carillon, Op. 27 No. 4," the lights above the audience dimmed as he walked out to say a few words.

“Thank you so much for being here on this beautiful day,” Rogahn said jokingly in reference to the rain.

He then said his performance was dedicated to his father, who died earlier this year.

Rogahn lives in Indianapolis and is a full-time student at IU. He is an organist, pianist, choral conductor and a teacher, according to his LinkedIn. Rogahn said his first memory was hearing a pipe organ in a church, and he has been drawn to it ever since.

“Initially when I got into

music it was for just the pure emotional expression, and that’s still the case,” Rogahn said.” “But I also now enjoy the hyper-intellectual aspect that is learning music and trying to figure it out. It’s kind of like a puzzle you have to break apart and then put back together, and I enjoy that process.”

Rogahn played six pieces during his doctoral recital.

Between each piece, he stood up and bowed as the audience clapped for him.

Patrick Fischer, an organ curator at the Jacobs school, said he goes to events like recitals to support the students.

“I work for the organ department, so I take care of the instruments and deal with scheduling,” Fischer said.

Some of the audience members were faculty members or people stopping by to see Rogahn perform, while others, like junior organ student Carolyn Craig, were fellow students.

“Peter is in my studio, and I’ve watched him learn this music and get to express it,”

Peter Rogahn, a graduate student in the Jacobs School of Music, had an organ recital Monday at Auer Concert Hall. He opened the recital by playing “Carillon, Op. 27 No. 4,” by Marcel Dupré.

Craig said. “I think in general, classical concerts express a lot, especially instrumental music, more than words can.”

In addition to getting his doctorate with the Jacobs school, Rogahn is currently a

precentor at the Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Indianapolis. He plans music for worship services and is an organist and a choir director.

“Church music is something that organists end up

getting involved in a lot of the time,” Rogahn said. “The nature of going into music is that you have to combine so many different careers of performing and teaching and doing church music to make a

career in music.”

After his performance, Rogahn bowed and walked away three separate times while the audience’s clapping continued. He finished by blowing the audience a kiss.

COLUMN: Perils exist in isolation from neighbors on small, grand scale When I was younger, I would constantly wonder why my mother cared so much about what was going on in the neighborhood families’ lives. Did the Martins finally repave their driveway? That new door down the street looks hideous! I couldn’t understand, I didn’t care.

If we’re talking about me not having to pretend I care about my neighbor’s newest additions to her flower garden or make small talk about how fast her kids are growing up, I’m on board with this isolated foreign policy. Her kids aren’t that cute.

But when we’re talking the sphere of the world that has become so interconnected in the last hundred years that isolation is impossible, it becomes difficult to not understand other countries’ worries

about the current state of the United States.

Julia Barbuscio, a junior studying history and economics at the University of Pittsburgh, said she has noticed more and more throughout her travels in Europe.

She said it has been hard to ignore the reality of U.S. politics while abroad with graffiti stamped on most streets she passes in Europe, often using profane language against President Trump.

“It rubs me the wrong way when I see signs like that because in my opinion it’s not that they don’t have a right to complain, but they have no idea what it’s like for an American right now when it’s directly affecting us every single day," Barbuscio said.

One of the biggest obstacles in communication

between countries is understanding the dynamics at play in any government.

During a walking tour of Prague, our guide told us the last two presidents of the Czech Republic both have famous YouTube clips of them doing idiotic things, like stealing a pen from an international meeting or getting drunk during their presidential duties at an event.

Barbuscio’s point is if we hadn’t ever heard that story, we never would have known.

It’s the opposite for American politics. She said you rarely hear anything about another country’s politics, people only seem to want to talk about Trump when you meet them.

When I walk past a newsstand, I see front pages plastered with Trump’s mug.

There is something to be said

about European countries’ fascination with American politics.

Finding the line between fascination and obnoxious disapproval is difficult. Barbuscio said having these signs of graffiti and rallies against Trump in Europe are acts of aggression that hinder not only the U.S. moving forward as a country but the world itself.

This can either be argued as a naive approach to world politics — which many say is controlled by a domino effect — or a smart approach to keeping domestic affairs intact: live and let live.

For the generations paying attention to the political world around them, it can be frustrating to leave the U.S., a place where they have been built up in their history classes

where the U.S. is the hero of every story, where the states are and will always be an important country.

To come to Europe and feel like a joke, to constantly be scrutinized for being American, it’s a reality check.

Though there is an angry initial reaction when we, as Americans, see these negative signs toward a leader that may not directly affect European life just yet, we have to remember it could, and soon.

Here’s a suggestion though, instead of these people lashing out through hate speech toward our country and its unfortunate circumstances in their eyes — do something about it. They have a right to be worried, but the only way they can truly have a voice during this time is reaching out to their leaders.

Katelyn Haas is a junior in journalism.

If they are so concerned they must continue working to better themselves as countries, whether it be Great Britain getting back on its feet as the effects of Brexit continue — I’ll admit I’ve used as a comeback if a Brit tries to start a fight about my messed up country — or the goofy Czech president many don’t take seriously — they should take some stock into their country.

World conflicts begin when an extremist in one country influences another, and another, until they have too much power. But if these countries can’t be influenced, then they have no ground to stand on. haask@umail.iu.edu

COLUMN: There is much to learn after pickpocketing episode Last weekend, amid the insanity of the Carnival celebrations in Maastricht, the Netherlands, my wallet was pickpocketed. This week, I traveled to Paris and Barcelona, two cities notorious for pickpockets.

After going several days without cash or cards, the money belt my parents urged me to wear around my waist didn’t seem quite so dorky.

The result was a few extra days in Maastricht, which were largely spent trying to remedy some of the problems created by last weekend’s episode. After all, most of my fellow students had cleared out for the week and my food supplies were dwindling. Eating dry muesli was getting old after the third meal in a row.

In a final effort to recover my wallet, I went to the Maastricht Police Station to file a report. The police, aptly called the “politie” in Dutch, were extremely kind and went above and beyond in their efforts to help me obtain cash.

Ultimately, both the police and the United States Embassy were unable to do much, and my diet of cereal and water would have to continue until the wire transfer to my Dutch bank account completed.

Unbroken, I ventured off to Paris on Wednesday. It was a wet day in the French capital, but sites including the Arc de Triomph and the Eiffel Tower were every bit as beautiful as I had imagined despite the poor weather.

It’s difficult not to notice the strong presence of armed law enforcement officials in Paris. Following the November attacks and the foiled attempt near the Louvre just one month ago, Paris has bolstered security.

Soldiers armed with assault rifles are stationed on major streets and I had my backpack searched when I entered a McDonald’s. It feels like you’re being monitored everywhere, but it’s worth the resulting peace of mind.

When I arrived in Barcelona, Spain, early Thursday morning, I rejoiced to find my bank transfer had completed.

I celebrated with a 15-euro Burger King meal in the airport before setting off to explore the city.

During my stay, I learned of the secessionist movement underway in Catalonia. The movement has grown popular, as many Catalonians feel culturally divergent from the rest of Spain and that the region does not reap enough benefit from the Spanish government. In September, a vote will decide if Catalonia will remain a part of Spain, though the referendum will not be recognized by the Spanish government.

Barcelona was teeming with nearly as many tourists as Paris. This weekend, some of the city’s nightclubs put on a music festival aimed toward abroad students, and it’s safe to say they reached their intended market. Every bar and nightclub was bursting at the

seams with American students. I ran into no less than eight people I knew from IU, and in many ways, it felt like I was back in Bloomington at a football tailgate. Some locals seemed to resent this, as walls in Barcelona’s Parc de la Ciutadella had been vandalized with anti-tourist sentiments.

Despite the overwhelming presence of American tourists, I was able to experience

much of what Barcelona had to offer. Parc Guell and the Sagrada Familia cathedral, both designed by famed Spanish architect Antoni Gaudi, were two of Barcelona’s most ornate and breathtaking sites.

As expected, steep admission fees were required to enter both places, but the photos from the other side of the fence weren’t bad either.

EDITORIAL BOARD

BLABBERMOUTH

We must practice responsible tourism On a tiny island in the Bahamas, there’s a small herd of wild pigs, now famous for their tendency to run into the ocean and swim alongside visitors. In the past year, “the swimming pigs” — a herd of approximately 20 wild pigs — have made quite a name for themselves on social media and TripAdvisor.

While this seems sweet, these wild pigs provide an illustrative example of the ways in which wildlife tourism is exploitative and dangerous to animals. The pigs show why a more responsible form of tourism is required.

Tourists flock to the island to play with and feed the friendly animals. But last week, seven of the pigs were found dead on the beach.

Veterinarians who inspected the pigs’ bodies found large amounts of sand in their stomachs and cited this as the cause of death. Humane Society representative Ventoi Bethune concluded that the pigs likely ingested the sand due to tourists throwing scraps of food on the beach. The pigs, lacking the fingers to pluck the food from the beach, would ingest mouthfuls of sand alongside tourist offerings.

At the moment, throwing food on the beach and interacting with the pigs is not only legal, but encouraged. Tour boats ferry guests to and from the island, and the tourist attraction of feeding the animals is so popular it was even featured as a date on IU alumnus Ben Higgins’ 2016 season of “The Bachelor.”

But with the death of a third of the beloved swimming pigs, the ethics of this tourist attraction have been called into question. The public is calling for increased regulations from the government — and rightfully so. But tourists must also be held accountable for their participation in harmful activities.

A 2015 study from a team of University of Oxford wildlife specialists claimed that between 20 and 40 percent of all global tourism falls under

BECCA DAGUE is a senior in English

the category of wildlife tourism. This means that a huge portion of tourism worldwide is dependent upon making the lives of animals a spectator sport.

As an animal lover, I completely understand the appeal of interacting with swimming pigs or any wild animals.

“Tarzan” is one of my favorite Disney movies, and I still haven’t completely shaken the childhood desire to live with a group of gorillas, Jane Goodall-style. But I’m not Jane Goodall, and my aggressive affection for wild animals without any real knowledge of their behavior would only do them harm.

The same has proven true for the swimming pigs and many other examples of wildlife tourism.

Of course, a few of these tourism experiences — such as visits to conservation facilities or nature preserves — are positive for the animals, but the vast majority of wildlife “experiences” are incredibly exploitative. Generally speaking, anything that allows you to cuddle, take a selfie with or ride an animal probably isn’t great for the animal itself.

Unfortunately, history has proven time and again that human desire for profit far outweighs questions of animal welfare. The industry of harmful wildlife tourism will continue so long as the demand for exploitative wildlife experiences exists. So it is tourists themselves who will be ultimately responsible for stopping the cycle by ceasing the demand.

So next time you’re on vacation, think deeply before you swim with dolphins in Hawaii, ride an elephant in Thailand or feed wild pigs in the Bahamas. Not participating in an activity might just express more love and respect for an animal than a forced interaction ever could. rjdague@indiana.edu

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Vice President Mike Pence talks to a crowd at the Chesed Shel Emeth Cemetery in University City, Missouri., on Wednesday, Feb. 22, about the damage done during the weekend when more than 150 headstones were overturned. With the vice president is Anita Feigenbaum, executive director of the cemetery; Alan Simon, president of the cemetery board; and Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens.

‘A threat to one’ IU stands with the Jewish community against bomb threats Last week, another wave of anti-Semitic bomb threats, cemetery vandalism and physical attacks swept across Indiana and the country.

Hundreds of headstones at Jewish cemeteries in Philadelphia and St. Louis were knocked over or shattered.

In 11 states, bomb threats targeting preschools were called in to Jewish Community Centers, the fifth wave of threats in 2017.

The Jewish Community Center in Indianapolis was a target of these threats, forcing it to evacuate and shut down until the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department’s bomb squad called an all clear.

The Indianapolis JCC, its staff and local law enforcement were highly prepared, anticipating the possibility of a bomb threat following the previous waves of such incidents across the country.

Most disturbingly, at Temple Adath B’Nai in Evansville,

Indiana, an armed individual walked through a playground to fire a bullet into a temple classroom.

The Editorial Board condemns these attacks and stands with IU’s Jewish community of more than 4,000 students during this wave of hate.

“There is nothing new about anti-Semitic acts in Indiana and across the country, but the recent uptick in these incidents is alarming.

I’m particularly disturbed by the way in which more recent episodes have targeted Jewish children,” Tony Satryan, IU senior and past president of the Indiana Hillel Board of Directors said.

“It’s difficult to shake the image of frightened preschoolers being led out of a building in which they are supposed to feel safe because of repeated threats on their lives.”

Across the state and country, leaders and communities

“The Jewish community, right now in 2017, is feeling more insecure than it has in two generations, and that’s significant. We like to think that once a battle has been fought and won, we won’t have to fight it again,” Lindsey Mintz, executive director of the Indianapolis Jewish Community Relations Council, said in an interview with the Editorial Board. “However, when it comes to antiSemitism, the last few years have really shown that our generation is going to have to fight anti-Semitism in the 21st century again.”

Mintz went on to say that anti-Semitism today may look and feel different, but it is still very much a reality for the Jewish community.

IU is a school that celebrates its diversity.

An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us. IU stands with its Jewish community because its Jewish community is IU.

are rising in support of their Jewish neighbors.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has called for the FCC to grant the FBI special powers to investigate these attacks.

Vice President Pence rolled up his sleeves in an unannounced visit to St. Louis to help clean up a vandalized cemetery.

In state, Sen. Todd Young, R-IN visited and toured the threatened JCC in Indianapolis to show his support.

Sen. Joe Donnelly, D-IN and Rep. Andre Carson, D-IN all tweeted their support of the Indianapolis Jewish community.

Rep. Susan Brooks, R-IN reached out to the community to show her support as well.

At the local level, organizations of many faiths and ideologies have come together to condemn this wave of bigotry and acknowledge the work that needs to be done.

ON YOUR MIND

GETTING IN THE GROOVE

Remember your audience

Don’t disregard the humanities

Being in the Kelley School of Business, I have heard one vital concept — put your audience first — over and over again. What seems like a commonsense suggestion tends to go out the window the minute students begin creating a class presentation, but for me it has been a core idea that I have taken with me into most of my experiences in college.

You must remember to put your audience first.

Like most fundamental concepts, putting your audience first is one that can be used by most people whether or not they are operating in business.

In the business school, we are taught to put our audience first primarily when communicating information to others.

When presenting, we are supposed to give information and use language based on what our audience does and doesn’t know and make the point of the presentation to tell them what information they need, how what we are presenting will affect them and why they don’t have to be afraid that what we are presenting them will fail or be inaccurate.

Again, this seems like a fairly simple and “duh”

kind of suggestion, but one that is not often been followed in the classes I have been in.

I’ve seen presenters tell businesses basic background information about that business’ history and operations or basic facts and statistics about their industry and what that industry does.

So the instructors and professors try and drill it in our heads once again.

When you communicate, do so based on what your audience needs to hear.

Do not include information that they are already acquainted with or would know based off their position.

This concept can translate to daily life, whether in one-on-one conversation or to a wider audience.

We live in a world where as much as 80 percent of our day is spent in some form of communication, and the top skill employers look for when hiring is ability to communicate.

Communication may be the most important skill a person can have, and according to John Maxwell, a leading thinker in the world of leadership and communication, focusing on the other, whether one on one or in a group, is the best

way to communicate with them.

In his book, John Maxwell has said, “If I had to pick a first rule of communication—the one practice above all others that opens the door to connection with others—it would be to look for common ground.”

In other words, keep your audience in mind when crafting your message.

He goes on to say “in the first several years of my career as a leader and speaker, my focus was too much on myself. And only when I started to realize that connecting is all about others did I start to improve.”

Maxwell knows the value of audience orientation.

Communication can help improve relationships and open minds, or it can create division and misunderstanding. If you want to be a better communicator, focus on whom you’re communicating with.

Ask yourself what they need to hear, what they already know, what they may be thinking and how you can cater what you say to who they are. sbreinoe@umail.iu.edu

Like many other freshmen, I’ve gone through my fair share of major-related existential crises. At one point during the fall, I became so stressed about practicality and postgraduation job prospects that I nearly switched from studying English to biology. Recently, there’s been a huge cultural push to encourage students to develop an interest in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields.

I wholeheartedly agree that this is a positive initiative — after all, where would we be without doctors, researchers and engineers?

However, I fear that emphasizing STEM fields can also implicitly devalue the humanities.

Guilt often washes over me as I watch my pre-med track friends arduously prepare for organic chemistry exams or lab practicals.

Their efforts and successes often seem more praiseworthy, more commendable and more admirable than mine. I sometimes wonder if an A I’ve earned for an English paper is a grade of similar value and achievement to, say, an A on a chemistry exam.

As the old adage goes, comparison will kill you, and comparison between majors is no exception.

It’s nearly impossible to compare the thought

processes, work and skill that it takes to pull off an exceptionally written paper with what it takes to ace a calculus test.

The sciences and humanities are inherently different, although I will admit that I find the ways in which they can inform each other fascinating,so it seems silly that they must always be at odds with each other for our approval. Respect for different fields of study is not a finite resource and we should quit acting like it is.

Sadly, this is hardly ingrained in our cultural consciousness. Ever since deciding to study English, I’ve fielded a countless amount of questions that generally fall under the umbrella of, “And what do you plan to do with an English major?”

Last semester, Kathy Smith, one of my English professors, turned this very common question on its head by encouraging our class to ask ourselves, “What can’t I do with an English major?”

I can understand how, from an outsider’s perspective, English can seem fairly wishywashy and self-indulgent. After all, a great deal of our coursework is solely made up of reading and discussing novels, essays and poems. Compared with something like accounting that translates easily to the “real world,” reading “Pride and Prejudice” instead of

ANNA GROOVER is a freshman in English.

learning how to use Microsoft Excel can seem utterly useless and trivial.

English is about much more than simply reading something, though.

Yes, it is about reading some sort of text, but it’s also about analyzing that text, considering what methods the author used to convey his or her intended meaning, evaluating the message of that text, thinking about that text in historical and social contexts, synthesizing that text with another text. This leads to forming enough conclusions about all these questions to be able to write coherently about that text. In other words, learning how to take in information, understand it and use it to draw conclusions about larger ideas and concepts.

This is something that you’ll have to be able to do regardless of whatever career you find yourself in post-graduation.

Developing these critical thinking skills transforms you into an adaptive person, capable of negotiating a plethora of work settings and tasks.

This is what the humanities are all about, and like STEM, they’re difficult, intriguing, necessary and most of all, valuable. acgroove@umail.iu.edu

However, when Looze and the Hoosiers came calling, Dale was intrigued by the opportunity in Bloomington despite his slightly checkered past with the head man at IU. “Dennis and I fought a lot,” Looze said. “Screamed at each other in Big Ten meetings, and, you know, it was not pleasant. I didn’t like him. He didn’t like me, mostly for competitive reasons.”

Although Dale and Looze might’ve had their differences, a job at IU offered Dale a matchup against his former school during Big Ten season.

Once settled at IU, Dale was able to refocus on the sport he loved. Upon Dale’s arrival, Looze gave control of the male swimming sprinters to Dale.

“I mean, you don’t have to worry about that area of the team,” Looze said. “He’s one of the best male sprint coaches in the country, and you pretty much know what you’re going to get.”

Dale was also instrumental in the transformation of the relay culture for IU swimming.

Dale’s Minnesota relay teams won 38 Big Ten titles.

Pieroni said success translated to Dale’s time in Bloomington.

“He’s a huge relay guy,” Pieroni said. “Even at Minnesota, Ray would tell us stories about how you couldn’t beat Dennis on the 400 relay.”

The Hoosiers took home four of the five relay events at the men’s Big Ten Championships this year.

Now, with the NCAA Championships beginning March 22, Dale will try to enjoy his last ride through championship season before retirement.

“I’m going to miss the opportunity to work with young men and women,” Dale said.

“I think coaching these collegiate athletes helps keep you young.”

Once retired, Dale plans to split his time between Minneapolis and Florida while enjoying his hobbies of golf and fishing. Looze and the IU program will miss the huge mark he’s left on the team in such a short time.

“We just started doing IBS a couple of years ago, so it’s awesome this quickly we’ve been able to be recognized for so many awards,” Skertic said. “It speaks to how creative and talented so many people involved in WIUX are.”

Skertic said it was a cool experience to particpate in a panel during her first time at IBS. “It’s really cool for WIUX to not just to be recognized but to get to present on panels and talk to other students who are involved in student radio,” Skertic said. “They would give us ideas for our station, and that way we don’t just get WIUX’s name out there, but we also meet other students, learn from them and talk about cool stuff we can integrate into our station.”

“Those nominations and wins that we came home with show how talented our staff members are and how important they are to our organization’s success, so it’s great to see them get that acknowledgement from IBS,” Thomas said. “I’m already looking forward to how we strengthened his family, especially because of the similarities between Christian and Islamic teaching. These similarities arise in religious holidays.

For Eid, Muslims celebrate Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son for God and God’s mercy in sending the angel Gabriel to put a sheep in the son’s place. While Eid is a Muslim holiday, this story is also written in the Bible.

As a result, celebrating each other’s religious holidays means celebrating their own religions as well, Maidi said.

“When you look at the Bible and the Quran, there are so many similarities in the stories, the ideas and the people,” Maidi said. “So

Meeting students working in similar situations across the country is a strong reason to continue to produce winning content, Skertic said. After the conference, WIUX staff met to a have a round table discussion on how to further improve, in areas including marketing and event understanding one means understanding the other more deeply.”

Miller said parents should be willing to fully accept the other religion in their interfaith home and to put in the work to introduce their children to both religions. If parents are open to accepting both religions, she said there will be little to stand in their way. Miller said her advice to interfaith parents is to include both religions but keep them separate in order to have meaningful interfaith education.

Miller said she and her husband don’t even use the words mix and blend.

“We let Christianity be Christianity and Judaism be Judaism,” she said.

Silverstein said it is also important for parents of interfaith households to be open to questions from their children.

He said they must encourage children to do their own research to realize answers on their own.

“They really need to be open to answer whatever questions their children may have,” he said. “And they need to be knowledgeable enough to guide them as they answer those questions for themselves.”

The crowning moment Pre-med student’s success highlights increased diversity in Miss IU pageant

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

A’Niyah Birdsong didn’t grow up competing in pageant shows. Instead, she watched a lot of “Toddlers & Tiaras” on TLC and, though fascinated, believed she was too old to start competing at the time.

That changed when she decided to compete in her first pageant.

“I thought it would be a great way to end out my senior year, and it would give me an opportunity to come back next year, just to give a little bit more back to IU,” she said.

The IU senior was crowned Miss IU on Sunday, Feb. 26. She is the third ever black Miss IU. Instead of practicing the art of pageants while growing up, Birdsong went to the military-style Anderson Preparatory Academy in Anderson, Indiana, where she fell in love with biology. Birdsong is a biology premed student and wants to be an OBGYN because she said she has always been a big women’s advocate.

Birdsong incorporated her love of science into the pageantry program as her platform. Every contestant in the Miss IU pageant has a platform to base her interview and reason for competing on.

“The job of Miss IU is fun, parading around and all that, but the heart of it is seeing the need in the community and doing your part,” Miss IU 2016 Justus Coleman said.

Birdsong’s platform was centered around science, technology, engineering and mathematics outreach and overcoming stereotypes and gender biases, which came from her passion for science and involvement in IU’s Center of Excellence for Women in Technology as an intern for CEWiT’s student interest group Black Women in Technology. She is also the president of Epiphany Modeling Troupe, an organization to unite all students and allow them

to express their love of fashion and give them confidence through skills development.

“I was always infatuated with the idea of uplifting women, and so with the pageant not only am I, yes, parading around on the stage, but my significance of why I’m doing it is way deeper for me,” she said.

The Miss IU Pageant consists of an off-stage interview with judges and competitions in talent, lifestyle and fitness in a swimsuit, evening gown, and onstage question phases.

Every contestant’s platform is given to the judges with a résumé, which the contestants are asked about during the interview stage, Birdsong said.

Lauren McNeeley, a December 2016 IU graduate who also used to work at the IDS, is the most recent outgoing president of Pageantry at IU. She explained judges look for someone who is more than just a pretty face. They weigh the talent and off-interview phases higher than other categories, and they look for someone who can be outgoing and friendly while representing the University well at local and state levels.

Birdsong created her talent, called “sassy science.” It consisted of choreographed scenes with Epiphany Modeling Troupe and chemistry demonstrations.

She performed two experiments — one combustion experiment,

resulting in a green flame, and one dry ice experiment — in front of the crowd. She also started off the section with a short clip from the recent film “Hidden Figures” because she said it relates to her platform of empowering women and others in science.

“My number one thing with STEM overcoming stereotypes and gender biases was letting you know that women can go and venture out and just dominate if they wanted to,” she said. “Even though you’re underrepresented in these fields, you still can make a bigger impact no matter whatever face you wear. It doesn’t matter your race, your gender.”

After her talent, Birdsong moved onto the other categories like modeling a royal blue swimsuit because the color reminded her of poise and elegance and a fitted plum-colored evening gown. The top of the dress was adorned with jewels, which Birdsong said she believed reflected her personable and outgoing personality.

Though Birdsong had not competed in a pageant before, she said she gained confidence through her work with Epiphany Modeling Troupe, which has a similar pageant feeling and helped members to show their confidence and personalities.

Beyond this, though, Birdsong competed because she had a purpose in her platform and wanted to make a difference.

“I don’t need any prior experience because all I have to do is be me, the real me,” she said.

The strategy worked for her. Birdsong won the crown at her first pageant and the people’s choice award and interview award and became Miss IU 2017. Coleman crowned Birdsong in front of the crowd in Alumni Hall.

Coleman said the pageant allows students of all kinds to be who they SEE PAGEANT, PAGE 9

MEN’S BASKETBALL

IU’s Big Ten season filled with ups and downs

By Zain Pyarali zpyarali@iu.edu | @ZainPyarali

Throughout the 2016-17 NCAA basketball season, the IU men’s basketball team has struggled to find its identity.

There have been highs, such as the Kansas and North Carolina wins, but there have been many more lows, like the Fort Wayne loss and the entire Big Ten regular season, that are making the good moments for IU fans seem like ages ago.

Because of the Hoosiers’ subpar performance in conference season that resulted in a 7-11 Big Ten record, IU will be the No. 10 seed this week at the Big Ten tournament and opens up play 6:30 p.m. Thursday in Washington, D.C., against No. 7 seed Iowa.

In November, that wasn’t not exactly how the Hoosiers expected their regular season to end.

The Big Ten season started out poorly for IU, which saw its 26-game home win streak snapped against a Nebraska squad that was just 6-6 at the time.

“We didn’t challenge shots enough,” Crean said after the Dec. 28 loss to Nebraska.

“Made some turnovers that we just can’t make. And it’s hard to get across to any team, but especially when you get into league play when it’s magnified so much is the mental errors, and we had too

many of them tonight.”

And yet, after the 18-game conference schedule, nothing changed. IU finished dead last in the Big Ten in scoring defense and offensive turnovers. The Hoosiers allowed 78 points and turned the ball over 15 times per game this season.

In the last four games, IU is 2-2 with wins against Northwestern and Ohio State and losses at Iowa and Purdue. In each of those games the Hoosiers had a different identity.

Against Iowa, IU blew a 13-point first half lead, turned the ball over down the stretch and didn’t get to the free throw line enough before ultimately losing in overtime.

The Hoosiers used a 22-0 run against Northwestern to go up 10 at halftime before promptly letting the lead slip in the second half. It took IU executing in the final minutes of the game to pull out a 1-point win.

Eleven first half turnovers against the Boilermakers cost the Hoosiers, who fell into a hole and weren’t ever able to escape. On Saturday against Ohio State, IU shot 64 percent in the first half to grab a 14-point lead before watching its defense crumble. The Hoosiers even fell behind in the second half, but their hot shooting returned and produced 96 points in a shootout victory.

Crean said the most important thing about his group

GREG GOTTFRIED | IDS

IU Coach Tom Crean calls a play in the first half Saturday afternoon. IU won its last game of the regular season on the road against Ohio State by a score of 96-92 and finished an inconsistent Big Ten season with a 7-11 conference record.

is that the players don’t get their heads down.

“We’ve had so many close games, including the one at Iowa, and they may be dejected for a bit, they may be disappointed, but they don’t let discouragement kick in,” Crean said on a Big Ten media teleconference Monday morning. “I think all of these close games have helped us because they don’t really flinch.”

Fouls were another main issue for IU throughout the conference calendar. Important members of the Hoosier

frontcourt, such as sophomore forwards Thomas Bryant and Juwan Morgan or freshman forward De’Ron Davis, often got into foul trouble early in games, which sent opponents to the foul line and limited the minutes of the IU big men.

In the last seven games, IU has five losses. In those five losses at least one Hoosier fouled out. In the two games that IU won, nobody in cream and crimson finished with five fouls.

Crean said on the teleconference that once the Hoosiers

get a step ahead on defense they will not foul as much. He measures and evaluates his team based on its improvement, he said.

“That’s what we try to stay as focused on as we possibly can through everything even in game planning, preparation and film work of past games and future games it still always comes down to a level of improvement,” Crean said.

“That’s really what the focus is and they’re well aware of what time of year it is and where we’re going.”

After the Big Ten-opening

Nebraska game, Crean wanted to see improvement from his team.

Now, at the end of the regular season he still wants those same aspects to be improved upon.

The last chance for IU to make the NCAA Tournament is to win the Big Ten tournament this week. Crean and the Hoosiers will find out quickly if they’ve improved enough on the little things to give them a chance in Washington, D.C. Now is the time to see if IU can find its identity.

IU set for mid-week game at Evansville on Tuesday

IU searching for linebacker replacement

From IDS Reports

The Hoosiers have won just two games since their opening series in Arizona ended Feb. 20.

After leaving Boca Raton, Florida, with a tied series against Florida Atlantic, IU Coach Chris Lemonis said the Hoosiers scheduled the beginning of their season to be more difficult than most other teams.

He challenged the team while traveling back to Bloomington by telling them there were bigger series ahead to help bolster a record that wasn’t too impressive.

Since he challenged them IU has lost to Cincinnati and dropped two of three against a weaker Samford team during the weekend.

Now the 4-6-1 Hoosiers travel to Evansville, Indiana, on Tuesday to compete against a team that has caused IU some issues in the last couple seasons.

The Purple Aces defeated the Hoosiers in both midweek games in 2015 and lost once in 2016. Evansville matchups are never easy for IU, especially with the Hoosiers limping into the new week.

IU pitchers saw their success and struggles during the Samford series. Starters sophomore Tim Herrin and

freshman Andrew Saalfrank each allowed three earned runs and sophomore relief pitcher Pauly Milto surrendered a walk-off home run in game two.

IU’s three starting pitchers during the weekend were able to keep the Hoosiers competitive through six innings, but six of the seven relief pitchers used during the series allowed at least one earned run.

When the pitching struggled, the bats struggled as well.

IU was able to knock six extra-base hits in game one and pile on 10 runs. In the next two games, however, the Hoosiers combined for just eight runs and seven extra-base hits.

Those subpar performances came against Samford starting rotation that featured two pitchers with ERAs near 10. The IU lineup just couldn’t put it together after game one’s hit parade.

Evansville has just one regular starter with an ERA better than 7.20. Only three Evansville starters bat better than .300 as well.

IU will look to take advantage with the potential of starting its ace sophomore Jonathan Stiever, who didn’t pitch against Samford to rest his arm.

When former Hoosier linebacker Marcus Oliver declared for the 2017 NFL Draft in January, IU lost more than just his strong 2016 contributions of 96 tackles, 15.5 tackles for loss, four sacks and five forced fumbles.

Aside from the statistics, the decision left IU deprived of its “quarterback of the defense,” as current head coach Tom Allen and former head coach Kevin Wilson frequently referred to the middle linebacker – known as the Mike.

Oliver knew the defense inside and out, after earning substantial playing time early on and watching the defense morph into the 4-2-5 that Allen brought to the team in 2016.

Now entering spring practices, Allen and his defensive coaches need to find the best replacement possible for a linebacker with nearly irreplaceable experience.

“It’s all about competing,” IU linebackers coach William Inge said. “We’ve been grooming the young men to be the next men up, so they’re going to be prepared and they’re going to be ready because in our system you have to be a driver and you have to be mentally in tune to what’s going on in our defense.”

With the 4-2-5 defense Al-

len runs, there are two linebackers at the heart of the IU defense. Last season, it was Oliver and linebacker Tegray Scales, who will be a senior in the fall.

Scales led the team in tackles and sacks. But he didn’t call the defense like Oliver.

That’s the Mike linebacker’s responsibility.

Finding a linebacker opposite Scales has become one of Allen’s primary goals for spring practices. The former defensive coordinator said he wants to be confident about at least one player at the position by the end of spring.

“We’re not in a rush, but there’s no question you want to finish spring feeling good about that spot,” Allen said.

“It’s a critical position for us.

Obviously you’ve got Tegray there with a ton of leadership and experience, but there’s nothing like having that Mike that runs a defense.”

The name being tossed around the most among coaches and staff for Oliver’s replacement is senior linebacker Chris Covington.

In 2016, Covington saw the most playing time at linebacker after starting his IU career at quarterback. As a junior, he appeared in all 13 games and recorded 29 tackles.

The linebacker got his first start in Ann Arbor, Michigan, when IU traveled to play the then-No. 3 Michigan Wolverines. The close loss was

MATT RASNIC | IDS

Linebacker Tegray Scales knocks the ball out of reach from Ohio State on Oct. 8, 2016. Sclaes will be relied upon heavily as a senior in the fall.

Covington’s most productive game of the season, as he tallied a career-high six tackles and his first career sack and forced fumble.

In proving that the former quarterback could play the middle linebacker position, Covington was able to give Oliver rest during games, something that didn’t exist often in the 2015 season.

That experience and production is what jumps out the most to Allen and Inge at this point in spring ball.

“They’re going fast like they will on Saturdays, being able to make all the checks and adjustments at that high speed,” Allen said about the linebackers. “That’s something he needs to work on.

We’ve got several guys for that spot, but he’s definitely the guy that’s returning that has the most experience and re-

ally has a great shot at being the guy.”

Some other possibilities for the middle linebacker position include junior Dameon Willis, who played in 12 games in 2016 and made his first career start in the Foster Farms Bowl, and junior transfer Mike McGinnis, who played junior college ball in Brooklyn, New York, in 2016.

Inge said that while he doesn’t know if there will be a drop-off in play at the position with Oliver, he and the rest of the staff take pride in their ability to play multiple guys at linebacker in recent history.

“The one thing we do like is that we have some young men ready to fill the shoes and are ready to attack,” Inge said.

“There’s a high standard and a high level of expectation to be a linebacker here at Indiana University.”

How to beat a dog in your March Madness pool In 2015, my dog filled out a March Madness bracket.

Rascal, his God-given name, was given an option of two treats. “Kentucky or Hampton?” and so on. I would find out his pick holding up a Beggin’ Bacon Strip in both hands and seeing whichever one he pawed or looked at. It was an extremely scientific process.

I lost.

With two Final Four teams and Duke as his eventual champion, Rascal finished with a higher point total than yours truly and proved once and for all that filling out a bracket is a pointless venture that will end with heartbreak, expletives and broken remotes.

With that said, here’s the definitive step-by-step guide to emerging victorious from the madness of March.

1. Only your winner needs to be correct As George Mason, Florida

Gulf Coast and all of the other low seeds to make runs have shown to us, you’re not going to build a perfect bracket.

You may start out hot, but at some point, the darkness that eventually envelops us all will find you. All you really have to worry about is getting the final game correct. If you chose Villanova last year, there’s a good chance you won your pool.

In the last 17 years, 10 of the eventual champions were one-seeds. Go crazy with your opening round choices, but make sure you have a top-caliber team standing amongst the rubble.

2. Pick upsets early and then calm down Hawaii, Wichita State, Yale, Northern Iowa, Virginia Commonwealth, Middle Tennessee, Little Rock and Stephen F. Austin. These schools seemingly have nothing in common for a very good reason.

They don’t. This obscure list is a hodgepodge of schools that

will almost never be uttered in the same breath, except for one simple reason. They all were the unlikely winners in the first round of last year’s tournament.

On the first two days of March Madness, do whatever your heart desires. Pick CSU Bakersfield to upset a top-dog because you like their blueand-yellow color scheme.

Take Baylor just because you like the name King McClure, the Bears’ sophomore guard from Dallas. Do whatever you want in the first few rounds, but make sure that once you get to the Sweet 16, you some chalk is on that board. Three No. 1 seeds made it to the Elite Eight and Final Four.

3. Don’t overthink it I know this is unexpected coming from me, an individual who has multiple people read his emails before he sends them, but make sure to stick with your picks. Don’t change your Elite Eight pro-

jections because someone on ESPN sees a down year from the Pac-12. Choose from the gut, not from the brain. It’s all anarchy, so you might as well stick with your first thoughts.

In 2011, I initially chose Connecticut to win the whole shebang, strictly because I liked watching Kemba Walker play. A few hours before brackets locked, I faltered and changed my pick to Florida.

Looking back at how this unfolded, I still cringe and regret this last-second alteration, because we all know now that Walker took his Huskies on a magical run to winning the title. Don’t let anyone talk you out of a pick. No one really knows how it’s going to play out, except Rascal.

Rascal knows all. gigottfr@indiana.edu @gott31

“It’s them embracing all of what womanhood is,” Coleman said.

Coleman and Birdsong are the second and third ever black Miss IU winners. The first was Nancy Streets-Lyons,

who was crowned Miss IU in 1959.

“Winning Miss IU gave me that platform for other women that look like me and not necessarily look like me but have been underrepresented in certain areas,” Birdsong said. “It gave me that platform to speak to them. No matter what the circumstance is or prior situations may be, you can always push the envelope

and challenge those.”

Coleman voiced a similar opinion, explaining how much it touched her to see young black girls want to compete in pageants after seeing Coleman in her crown.

“As a minority, it’s beautiful to see other minorities inspired,” she said.

Birdsong and Coleman said it was an honor to be

a part of the history and achievement of black students at IU. Birdsong said it highlighted how the University is becoming more diverse and how its traditions and opportunities can mold women into leaders. As Miss IU, she wants to use her platform to tell others about the opportunities that IU provides to its students.

Coleman said through

her year of being an icon for the University, she became a stronger person in every aspect of her life.

Birdsong plans to use the values of determination and motivation that her family instilled in her to reach out to the community of IU and Bloomington. She wants to tell others about the ways IU shaped her as a person, while also being a brand for

the University by promoting higher education and STEM outreach. This passion, she said, is how she defines beauty.

“You can have a beautiful face and no purpose, so for me, beauty lies within,” she said. “It’s what your purpose is in life, your purpose here at school, however you take it.

It’s all about being purposeful. Beauty is purposeful.”
