Council concerned about lack of funding By Alexa Chryssovergis aachryss@indiana.edu | @achryssovergis
Flint, Michigan, is synonymous with the story of its water contamination and a reminder of how necessary clean drinking water is — a luxury often taken for granted in American cities. The Hoosier Environmental Council is concerned with what it sees to be a lack of state funding in the current proposed budget for the Indiana Department of Environmental Management’s clean drinking water programs, said Tim Maloney, senior policy director at the HEC. Maloney mentioned Flint as a cautionary tale. “Safe drinking water is just essential for both people to be healthy and for communities to be healthy,” he said. IDEM’s Office of Water Quality performs chemical and biological tests on surface and groundwater, regulates drinking water supplies and wastewater facilities, and protects wetlands, according to its website. There are various branches, such as the drinking water branch, surface water, operations, as well as enforcement branch, wastewater compliance and permitting branches within the office. Maloney said Indiana currently has slightly more than 4,000 public drinking water systems in Indiana. But as recommended in the governor’s budget proposal, funding for IDEM’s program remains stagnant in this year’s in-progress budget — something Maloney sees as problematic, especially because of staff cuts and a decrease in appropriations state departments such as IDEM and the Indiana Department of Natural Resources have seen in the past 10 years, he said. The HEC’s website states general fund appropriations for IDEM have declined about $9 million per year in the last 10 years and that IDEM staffing has dipped to 800 positions SEE ENVIRONMENT, PAGE 6

Attendees of IU Feminist Student Association’s Slut Walk left Dunn Meadow on Wednesday and marched downtown toward the Monroe County Courthouse. Slut Walk is an annual protest during the month of April — Sexual Assault Awareness Month.
Feminism for all IU Slut Walk participants protest sexual assault and rape By Rachel Leffers rachelleffers@indiana.edu | @rachelleffers
After marching down Kirkwood Avenue in protest of sexual assault, women and men sat closely to share their own experiences with self-doubt and self-hate after being sexually harassed, groped or raped. One woman told the confidants her experience with isolation and shame after breaking up with an abusive boyfriend.
Another spoke about her struggle coming to terms with being raped by her boyfriend. Some women wore T-shirts and jeans, and others their bras and shorts as they gathered in Dunn Meadow. One woman, unabashed, wore nothing but jeans and silver star stickers over each breast. The women, along with some men, marched down Kirkwood to the Monroe County Courthouse to participate in IU’s annual Slut Walk. “Whatever we wear,
wherever we go, yes means yes and no means no,” the marchers chanted. A Slut Walk is a national movement which calls for an end to rape culture and sexual harassment by engaging in peaceful protest. IU’s annual Slut Walk is organized by the Feminist Student Association to raise awareness of sexual assault and victim blaming. Sophomore Lucy Battersby, FSA’s director of communications, said the goal of the march

IU’s spring football game takes new shape By Jordan Guskey jguksey@indiana.edu | @JordanGuskey
Coach Tom Allen’s twist on IU football’s spring game has set Twitter ablaze. A four-round draft, sandwiched between two free agent periods, took place Sunday to pick part of the Cream and Crimson team rosters. Even before the draft, Allen said Saturday he was enjoying watching the trash talk unfold. Offensive coordinator Mike DeBord, Cream’s head coach, and defensive line coach Mark Hagen, his equal for Crimson, have traded blows with players in Twitter threads and boasted the superiority of their teams. Even the official Twitter account for the program has stoked the fire. The new strategy for IU’s 2017 spring game, Allen’s second with the Hoosiers but first as head coach, has given the game a level of hype that just wasn’t as palpable a year ago. “It’s a way for us to have a lot of fun with it,” Allen said. “But we are going to have two complete teams. They’re going to play a game there on Thursday night, so it should be a whole lot of fun, excited to see our guys compete and try and win.” Allen picked up the idea from Willie Taggart, who was the head coach at South Florida when Allen was the defensive coordinator for the Bulls. Taggart has since moved on to the head coaching job at Oregon. The entire athletic department, all the way up to IU Athletics Director Fred Glass and former Hoosier

football great Anthony Thompson, who holds an associate athletic director role with IU, have dogs in the fight. Glass is the president of the Crimson team, while Thompson is the president of its opponent. Glass said in a video posted to the IU football Twitter account that the two will likely have a side bet dependent upon who wins, although the stipulations of the bet will remain confidential. “We’re looking forward to the winner-take-all nature of the game,” Glass said in the video. “It’s for all the spring marbles.” It will be the first time fans will

see the new system DeBord and the other new offensive coaches are implementing. Allen said he’s been impressed with the leadership shown by veterans of the offensive line, receiving corps and rising senior quarterback Richard Lagow. While the makeup of the teams means each offense that lines up will be a mix of first- and secondteam players, Allen said they will still jell with their new system. “They believe in it,” Allen said. “Our offensive coaches, led by coach DeBord, are doing a great job of creating that culture of buy-in and holding them accountable for the
way we want to practice, the way we want to perform each and every day.” During IU’s spring game, set to kick off at 7:06 p.m. Thursday night and be broadcast live on BTN2GO — it will be aired on Big Ten Network on tape delay at 9:30 p.m. — DeBord, the coach staff and the players will work to beat the same people they work with in practice. Once the game ends, that’ll stop. “Closest team in America!” Lagow tweeted Wednesday. “Trash talk is fun, but don’t think for a second we all won’t be together hanging out as soon as the game is over.”

Willkie community educator Yasmin Fashir joins protesters as they gather around Franklin Hall to chant in protest against social scientist Charles Murray during his speech Tuesday evening in President’s Hall. Controversy arose in the student body upon discovery that Murray had been invited to speak at IU.
None injured during protest By Sarah Verschoor sverscho@iu.edu | sverscho@iu.edu
Hundreds of people gathered Tuesday outside Franklin Hall to voice their concerns about controversial libertarian social scientist Charles Murray. Seventy officers from IUPD, Bloomington Police Department and Indiana State Police were present in and around Franklin Hall to protect the protesters and the speaker. With no injuries or damage to property, protests about controversial speaker Murray went smoothly, IU Police Department Lt. Craig Munroe said. “Everybody got to express what was on their mind and exercise free speech,” Munroe said. One protester, IU senior Stella Shaffer, was detained by an IUPD officer and state police officer. Shaffer was detained by police at 7:48 p.m. for disorderly conduct. Shaffer laid down in front a police vehicle that was driving through the Sample Gates along the pedestrian pathway. Shaffer burned her ticket to the Murray speech a day prior on Facebook live.

A policeman tells a man to calm down after he yells at the crowd protesting Charles Murray. The man was one of only a few people opposing the protesters’ that were there.
The two officers zip-tied her hands behind her back and took her inside Franklin Hall. Inside, officers explained to her what was going on, Munroe said. Shaffer said she was fearful when she was detained. She was supposed to attend a court hearing to have her name and gender marker changed. “I was scared they’d send me to men’s jail,” Shaffer said. While she was sitting in the Franklin Hall atrium, Shaffer said it was quiet. She wanted to make conversation and
asked the officer who was watching her whether he liked apple or blueberry pie. About 20 minutes later, officers released Shaffer. There was no need for an arrest, Munroe said. “It’s your lucky day,” Shaffer said one officer said to her. Police will decide soon whether to file charges against Shaffer or to refer her to the dean, Munroe said. After Shaffer was taken into police custody, there was a brief verbal confrontation between protesters and police. The protesters chanted
“Who do you serve? Who do you protect?” at the group of officers. One man in an orange bandanna raised a middle finger in one of the officer’s faces. The crowds would dissipate and reappear throughout the night. Eventually police were able to take down the barricades that surrounded Franklin Hall. When the protesters walked up, there was no danger and officers felt no threat, Munroe said. “They were voicing their opinions,” Munroe said. “We weren’t there to stop that.”
Teen charged as adult for murder attempt By Jack Evans jackevan@indiana.edu | @JackHEvans
A teenager arrested earlier this week and charged with the attempted murder of a sheriff ’s deputy will face charges as an adult. David Swails, 17, of Mooresville, Indiana led Monroe County Sheriff ’s deputies and Bloomington Police Department officers on a foot chase Monday night after he was stopped on a motorized scooter. According to court documents, he later admitted to attempting to shoot at least one deputy with a stolen gun during the chase. He also faces five other felony charges, including
firearms charges, intimidation and unlawful use of body armor, and misdemeanors for carrying a gun without a license and operating a vehicle while intoxicated. The Monroe County Sheriff ’s Office announced via a press release Wednesday that Swails will be charged as an adult. Because he’s younger than 18, his name had not been previously released. Swails, driving an orange 2016 TaoTao scooter, was stopped Monday night on the 200 block of West Country Club Drive, near the B-Line trail, by a deputy who noticed the scooter had no functioning lights or
registration plate, according to court documents. When the deputy noticed the scooter had been hotwired, he told Swails and a juvenile passenger they were being detained. Swails fled and was followed by deputies and officers. During the chase, one deputy saw Swails brandish a handgun and ordered him to stop, but he kept running. He was eventually found hiding in tall grass, with body armor under his shirt and ammunition in his pocket. He told deputies he had planned to shoot them and had cocked the gun, but dropped it. He told them where

to find it, and officers recovered a semi-automatic handgun, its serial number scratched off, with a magazine inside and a live round in the chamber. While a deputy took Swails to his patrol car, Swails said that the gun was stolen and that he was high on marijuana and had been using prescription pills the day before. He was taken to IU Health Bloomington Hospital for a blood draw. There, he admitted to pulling the gun on a deputy and pulling the trigger but said the gun didn’t go off. Swails is in the Monroe County Jail with a surety bond of $1,000,000.
After weeks of appeals Empower has at last been officially recognized as the winner in the 2017 IU Student Association election. The Election Commission released final results Tuesday, after the IUSA Supreme Court resolved multiple appeals. In a Wednesday interview, junior Dan Niersbach, IUSA president-elect, said his administration’s first action will be to pass a budget through Congress. He plans to institute election reform, and said these plans will manifest over several years. Niersbach said he plans to create a committee of Congress members, election commission hopefuls and members of the executive branch to plan for these changes. “I would love to see the executive branch itself be much more involved with the election,” Niersbach said. He said among the hurdles his ticket faced and which his administration will face in the future, the biggest is instilling a positive culture surrounding student government. People get competitive, Niersbach said. The reality of campaigning for IUSA is that conflicts do arise, but he is focusing on the positive aspects of the campaign. “But we want to mend those and make sure everyone has a positive professional working culture and can ultimately be friends brought together by the fact that we wanted to do IUSA and not be divided by what ticket you were on,” he said. Olivia Malone, IU sophomore and Empower’s chief of staff, said she thought the ticket’s biggest strength was how prepared the members were in terms of research on specific policy. She’s happy that her ticket did not have to defend itself in court, but the most pressing issue she saw in the election was voter apathy. “It didn’t feel like a worthwhile endeavor for people who didn’t know about student government or didn’t know how to get involved,” Malone said. Niersbach said if other
tickets had read the election code, they wouldn’t have made mistakes that they did. One petition, filed on behalf of Engage and not made public until Tuesday, asked the court to order the reviewal evidence the ticket said constituted candidate dishonesty and finance violations. Niersbach said the debit card number mentioned in the petition and listed on receipts accompanying his financial statements belonged to an account he opened for Empower at IU Credit Union. He said he didn’t want his personal banking information made public. Now that the election is over, he said he’ll be closing the account and returning money to those who donated to the campaign. Niersbach said his administration will try to pursue constitutional reform and possibly redistricting IUSA Congress to eliminate residential representatives and double the amount of academic representatives because Niersbach said these two often overlap. “And we’ve even explored ideas like having multicultural organizations like La Casa and LGBTQ+ and Black Student Union maybe having a seat,” Niersbach said. He said his administration looks forward to receiving the VOICE report. VOICE, which stands for Vision Of the Ideal College Environment, is a survey of the student body’s views on an array of issues. The original report was commissioned by President Michael McRobbie in 2007, according to the IUSA website. Niersbach said one of these reports was supposed to be created this academic year, but was not prioritized by the current administration. The report would help IUSA craft student-focused policy. Members of the incoming administration will also lobby state and federal government to secure more tuition funding for veterans and possibly pass Indiana hate crime laws, Niersbach said. “We’ll see if we can make the rest of Indiana a lot more like Bloomington,” Niersbach said.

Asian students discuss their mental health By Hannah Boufford hbouffor@umail.iu.edu @hannahboufford
Stereotypes and fears of disappointing families contribute to a lack of discussion of mental health in Asian communities, panelists said Wednesday evening. The Indian Student Association’s Smashing Stigma event brought in counseling psychology doctoral students Jacks Cheng, Shaozhuan Li and Shu-Yi Wang for a panel discussion about the stigmas surrounding mental health in Asian communities. Amani Karim, a member of ISA, helped plan the event. Karim, a junior studying neuroscience and community health, said she struggled to find experts in the mental health field to talk because of the stigmas surrounding mental health and illness in Asian communities. In looking for mental health resources, Karim said she found a severe lack of people of color in the field. “That’s a problem,” she said. The panelists said this lack of diversity is partly due to the collective mentality, which contrasts with the individualistic nature of psychology, of many Asian cultures. Wang explained psychology was developed as a western practice and lacked
a lot of diversity. However, he did say this was changing and allowing marginalized groups to feel more comfortable when reaching out for help. Karim said she hoped that students who attended the event learned about the mental health resources on campus that are available for students. She and the panelists said there are many resources available for students to access. “It’s OK to not be OK,” she said. “And there are a lot of reasons why you might not be OK.” Some of the resources available include Counseling and Psychological Services and the Center for Human Growth. Within CAPS, students can take advantage of Crimson Corps, a peer support service, and the Let’s Talk programs that take place at different culture centers on campus. Wang said many students come in for more practical reasons rather than emotional ones like anxiety and depression. For example, Cheng said one of the reasons the students he sees go to counseling was for procrastination help. “Anxiety and depression manifest themselves differently — they look different,” Cheng said. “It’s more performance based.” Li added that one of the
Two men report being followed, threatened by a stranger with gun Tuesday By Jack Evans jackevan@indiana.edu | @JackHEvans
Two men reported to police Tuesday that they and two others had a gun pointed at them by a man who got out of his car while stopped in traffic. The men reported the incident at about 8:25 p.m., about an hour after it happened, at the Bloomington Police Department headquarters, BPD Lt. John Kovach said. They said the two of them, along with an acquaintance who was giving them a ride and another man they don’t know, were driving around when they got lost and wound up at a dead end on South Grant Street. There, two men sitting on a
porch started a verbal altercation with them, they said. The men in the car pulled away, and one of them yelled an obscenity at the men on the porch. The men from the porch then jumped in a black SUV and followed the car. Both got stuck in traffic on South Walnut Street. The driver of the SUV, whom the men described as a Hispanic man in a black cutoff T-shirt, got out of his car and pointed a gun at them. Though the incident came in the same two-day span as two other incidents of drivers pointing guns in traffic, the incidents have no other similarities and do not appear to be connected.
Gun pointed but nobody injured in road rage incident on State Road 37 By Jack Evans jackevan@indiana.edu | @JackHEvans
A woman reported to police Tuesday that another driver pointed a gun at her after she accidentally cut him off in traffic. Police responded at about 11:20 a.m. to the area of State Road 37 and the State Road 45/46 bypass, Bloomington Police Department, Lt. John Kovach said. A 53-year-old woman told officers she’d been driving south on SR37 when she unintentionally cut another car off in a construc-

tion zone. The driver of the other car, a blue, older-model two-door with possibly out-of-state plates, honked, pulled next to her and, for a moment, pointed a handgun at her. He then continued south on SR37. The woman described him as a white man in his 40s, with dark, curly hair and a beard. Though the incident came in the same two-day span as two other incidents of drivers pointing guns in traffic, the incidents have no other similarities and do not appear to be connected.

other needs he frequently sees brought up for counseling is the contradiction of students’ career goals clashing with their families’ traditions. Wang explained a strong belief in Asian communities tend to be that if an individual does something well, this
anxiety are their own issues and they should not bother others with them. “It doesn’t mean in Chinese culture we don’t have the concept of mind or psyche or spirit,” he said. “It’s just different.” Partly for this reason, Karim said panels like these

are important to have on campus to open up the discussion about mental health among students, especially among the Asian community. “Don’t be afraid,” she said. “There are people here to help you. It’s going to be OK.”
E-cig regulations recommended By Emily Ernsberger emelerns@indiana.edu | @emilyerns
The Bloomington city council deliberated ordinances changing regulations on electronic cigarette smoking, stench bombs and fencing around swimming pools Wednesday at its committee session. City regulations on smoking have existed for about 40 years and currently ban smoking in certain public places and outdoor areas. The latest proposed ordinance would define electronic smoking devices and ban them in public places and workplaces. Electronic smoking devices are defined as devices capable of producing inhalable nicotine, such as e-cigarettes. The federal government extended its regulations on smoking in 2016 to include electronic smoking devices. Indianapolis, other cities in the state and Howard County have similar laws. The ordinance is designed to deter young adults and teenagers, the age group most likely to use electronic smoking devices according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The council suggested it pass the ordinance 4-03. Council members Isabel Piedmont-Smith and Tim Mayer were not at the meeting. Council members who were present were divided on whether or not e-cigarettes were as dangerous for users and secondhand consumers as using real cigarettes. Council member Steve Volan critiqued the city health department’s analysis that vaping is a gateway to consuming

real smoke. Instead, Volan said that many people use ecigarettes to transition out of smoking. Beverly Calendar-Anderson, director of the city Community and Family Resources department, and medical professionals in attendance said that while there is research on e-cigarettes, the devices have not been around long enough to know about the long-term effects as researchers do about secondhand cigarette smoke. Public attendee Anthony Fox, who said he goes to alcoholics anonymous meetings at the 12/24 Club, a recovery center on West 11th Street, said that some of the members of the club choose to vape during meetings. “It’s become a problem for us who have quit smoking or who have never smoked,” said he, adding that one woman had an asthma attack while sitting next to a person using an e-cigarette at an AA meeting. Fox said he has since stopped going to the club because of people using vapes.
OPEN
Various people who own or manage vape shops in the city spoke during the public comment period as well. Maxx Electronic Cigarette owner Dennis Elkins, said he was thankful the ordinance would still allow employees to demonstrate vape products in their stores. However, he argued that people need to be able to vape in order to transition out of using tobacco products, like he did in 2008. Indy e-cigs owner Shadi Khoury echoed similar sentiments and said vaping regulations should be up to business owners. “If it’s going to be selfpoliced, why don’t we leave it up to the business owners to establish whether or not they will allow vaping?” he said. The second ordinance also changes city code to stop regulating stench bombs. The current regulations prohibit the sale, possession or use of any device that omits “noxious or offensive smelling” in the city. These laws were instated in 1957, and the city does not
have any record of a violation of the law. Council member Susan Sandberg asked city lawyers why the ban was ever a part of city code in the first place, but attorney Mike Rouker said he did not look into the legislative history. He did clarify that stench bombs are still illegal under Indiana statute, so removing this ordinance does not legalize their use. The ordinance also mandates that swimming pools three feet deep or deeper need to have five-feet-tall fencing surrounding it. The ordinance would also take away the regulation that all bodies of water need to have such fencing. The city did not follow its own ordinance because building fences would be expensive, hinder storm water flow and diminish aesthetic value of the area. Removing the ordinance would take away the liability of the city to anyone who was injured at a public body of water that was not fenced. The council recommended it pass the ordinance 7-0.

We need to stop humanizing businesses The question of whether a corporation is a person has been an important political topic of debate for many years. However, since the Citizens United v. Federal Election Committee decision in 2010 it has gained even more attention. The case allowed unlimited spending by corporations on political issues. The idea came back to the political main stage in 2014 with the highly controversial Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores decision, which awarded closely held corporations some freedom of conscious exceptions to the Affordable Care Act’s birth control mandate. This case gave corporations the right to refuse to offer some contraceptives in their health care plan. Although these cases are the most recent and well-known, they are certainly not the first times the personhood of corporations have been brought into question at the courts and beyond. The topic reaching the Supreme Court as early as 1809 in Bank of the United States v. Deveaux, which allowed corporations to sue in federal court as citizens. Perhaps the issue even dates back to the medieval Catholic church acting as a corporation with the rights of an individual. We must resist humanizing corporations, as this affords them extra sympathy we would apply towards actual people. In the current age of social media, this idea of personhood of corporations is taking on an entirely new meaning. As a means of advertisement, many corporations are attempting to develop individual personalities as a social media brand. This phenomenon is most observable on Twitter. The Twitter account for the popular fast food chain Wendy’s has taken to posting jokes and roasting Twitter users online. For example, a Twitter user tweeted the account, “I just ate Burger King, what are you going to do about it?” This prompted the sarcastic

response of “Feel sorry for you” from Wendy’s Twitter account. Most recently, the Wendy’s Twitter account offered a Twitter user free chicken nuggets for life if his tweet received 18 million retweets. These tweets have gone viral, which prompted countless tweets and news articles about how fun and quirky Wendy’s is. Buzzfeed even published an article titled “15 Times The Wendy’s Twitter Was The Most Savage.” Other corporations have been building internet personalities for themselves as well. Denny’s, the popular breakfast restaurant, runs a Tumblr blog that is known for posting jokes and memes. The idea of humanizing corporations with personalities is not a legal issue, but it changes the mindset of the general population when they view these corporations, subconsciously creating human sympathy and admiration. Not only are we giving corporations more legal rights than they should have, we are giving them friendly and funny personalities. While it seems harmless, it humanizes the very corporations that exploit real people every day. It seems a bit cruel that a corporation can deny necessary health care and then turn around and interact with the public as if it is everyone’s beloved childhood friend. After the Citizens United decision, comedian Jon Stewart said, “If only there were some way to prove that corporations are not people. Maybe we could show their inability to love.” Little did he know that these corporations would soon take to the internet in an attempt to prove their humanity in this very way. emmagetz@umail.iu.edu @emmaagetz

Progress in East Chicago Good efforts at relocations so far from the state of Indiana When someone makes a mistake, we expect them to atone for it in some way. We also expect, in the interest of fairness, that the atonement will be equal in magnitude to the initial wrongdoing. The question that inevitably becomes relevant in addressing mistakes, then, is when to say that enough has been done to make up for them. With respect to the lead-contaminated public housing complex in East Chicago, Indiana, the time to say “enough” was supposed to be Friday. By that day, about 320 families were scheduled to leave the West Calumet Housing Complex and be relocated to safer accommodations. Despite this deadline, fifty families remain in the complex. They had been given five months of reduced rent to search for new homes and government vouchers for other comparable housing complexes,
yet for one reason or another, it appears that they will be remaining past the deadline set by the state. When this story first broke, the Editorial Board condemned the decision to build government housing on land previously occupied by a lead-products factory because we felt that it should have been obvious that contamination would become problematic. The results of tests conducted by the Indiana Department of Health last summer showing lead levels more than 70 times the acceptable standard should have come as no surprise. Since then, however, we think the state government has made every reasonable attempt to remedy the situation and should be proud of the 270 families that have been successfully relocated thus far. To move so many people in such a short time is no easy task and demonstrates an improved commitment
to public safety and atoning for the initial mistake of this building’s location. The Editorial Board also understands that circumstances for the remaining 50 families are not ideal. Some parents are concerned that the neighborhoods offered for relocation present their own dangers and might not necessarily be safer than East Chicago. Tara Adams, mother to a 19-year-old son and an 11-year-old daughter, was concerned that the temporary housing she’d been offered was on the south side of Chicago. “I for sure don’t want to move my 19-year-old son into an area where there’s a greater chance for him to get shot,” Adams said in an interview to the New York Times. While the concern of Adams and parents in situations like hers deserves a fair and safe solution, the Editorial Board believes that the state made the right
decisions in its use of limited resources and should consider the relocation process a success overall. Issues with the comparative safety and educational and employment opportunities of alternative neighborhoods go beyond the scope of relocation due to lead contamination. Any time government entities attempt to provide services for the public, there will inevitably be individual cases for whom those services do not suffice. However, even if the 50 families still residing in the West Calumet Housing Complex choose not to relocate, the state has provided ample opportunity for them to leave a dangerous situation. A 100-percent success rate cannot be the standard for this program’s success. The editorial board looks forward to the state helping relocate the remaining families as quickly as possible, as it owes them that.
MULLING IT OVER WITH MERM
COLIN’S COLUMN
Syria remarks are disgraceful
Overbooking practices must end
This week marks the celebration of the Jewish holiday Passover. During this celebration, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer justified the missile strike against Syria by saying Syrian President Bashar al-Assad was worse than Hitler because Hitler never used chemical weapons. The New York Times quotes Spicer as having said “you had someone as despicable as Hitler who didn’t even sink to using chemical weapons.” I understand that the timing of the missile strike and Passover have overlapped, but Spicer could have been more tactful about the comparison. This situation has been so offensive that the Anne Frank Center has requested President Trump fire Spicer over the comments. Spicer went on to spew even more ignorance at this press conference, according to the New York Times having said “I think when you come to sarin gas, he was not using the gas on his own people the same way that Assad is doing.” I’m not sure if Spicer ever studied the Holocaust,
but those who were killed in concentration camps were frequently killed in gas chambers. Gas chambers employed poisonous gases such as Zyklon B, a chemical. Later, when questioned about his comments, Spicer acknowledged Hitler did indeed use chemicals. After that, he went on to call concentration camps “Holocaust centers.” I am just absolutely shocked at the lack of care and knowledge in the situation. I wonder if politicians actually think before they speak these days. Yes, these interviews and press conferences come with little preparation and they cannot always anticipate the questions they will receive. But this information should be widely known enough that any American citizen could have learned in school. The fact that Hitler used chemical weapons in his Holocaust against the Jewish people is well known. On Twitter, Chelsea Clinton challenged Spicer to visit the Holocaust Museum, especially because it is only a few blocks away from the White House.

Spicer tried to say that Hitler was not intending to gas his citizens in the same way that Assad has. I’m not sure if there are different levels of acceptability to gassing innocent citizens. CNN columnist Chris Cillizza said Spicer broke a big political rule in comparing anything to Hitler. The idea is that by comparing situations to Hitler and by saying that something is worse or better than Hitler’s actions ends the conversation and lets those who are justifying bad actions feel better about themselves. Comparisons to Hitler are a discussion ender. Comments about the Holocaust and Hitler are generally off limits, and no matter the political party we all understand that it was terrible. I’m hoping that at least in this time of turbulence and divided opinions about what happened with and in Syria, we can come together and agree that this statement and the following thoughts were out of line. mmgarbac@umail.iu.edu
In the past two decades, air travel has changed drastically. Sept. 11, 2001 forever changed how Americans think about air travel and the amount of security they must undergo. Additionally, surging prices and hidden fees have had their impact. On Sunday the problems with airlines soared to new heights. United Airlines called in police, who violently removed a passenger from his seat, according to Reuters reporting. The victim, Dr. David Dao, had his head bashed against an armrest as he was dragged through the aisle against his will. Nearby passengers caught the scene on video, which ultimately went viral. This happened because United, having overbooked the flight, needed to seat four employees and, after asking for volunteers to leave, called the Chicago Aviation Department to remove this doctor from his seat. This is absolutely ludicrous on so many levels. Firstly, the involvement of the police. While this entire situation is a tragedy in its own right, the fact is this was a police officer removing Dao from his seat. Given
the context of recent police violence, it can be easy to point fingers. However, the problem here isn’t the Chicago Aviation Department, it’s United using professionals to drag customers off of flights, that’s criminal. This officer was told by United to remove this man, and that’s what he did. It’s not his fault, it’s United’s for overbooking. In fact overbooking is a standard part of United’s policy, and bumping involuntary customers from flights is a common practice, happening 40,000 times last year alone. After the immense backlash, United has discussed the possibility of revising its booking policies, but this is likely just a statement for publicity. While in most cases bumping customers from flights isn’t violent, business practices like overbooking are absurd and demonstrate the kind of one-sided power wielded by airlines. With low accountability due to limited competition, airlines have all the power in relations with customers, and that lends itself to the sort of circumstances depicted in that video.
COLIN DOMBROWSKI is a freshman in advertising.
But what makes this situation all the worse is the fact that Dao was a United customer. This man paid money to be on this flight. He booked it and paid for United to provide him with a service. Instead of being served, he found himself assaulted. It’s because of the limited number of airline options and the near monopoly specific airlines have at many hubs. This lends itself to this disregard for customers. So while first and foremost we need to boycott United, it’s not just United. Airlines are so large and have so much control when it comes to bookings that the average flier has little to no power to hold them accountable for their practices. If Dao’s incident hadn’t been recorded and gone viral, this likely would have been swept under the rug. That’s why we need stronger regulation on airlines to put the customer back in the cockpit. ctdombro@umail.iu.edu @doctorthaddeus

Sydney Clute has Olympic goals after graduation By Julia Briano jbriano@iu.edu | @julia_bri
REBECCA MEHLING | IDS
Senior Stefan Lugonjic waits for a Louisville serve during a match Feb. 8 in the IU Tennis Center.
Wurtzman said he does not recall a time when Lugonjic has not given his all in practice, and called the senior an extremely hard worker. “He has put in the time every single day for the past two and a half years I have been here,” Wurztman said. “That is something we all can take from him — how much time and how much this means to him.” It is not only in practice where Lugonjic leads by example. During IU matches at the IU Tennis Center, Lugonjic is constantly competing intensely and supporting his teammates playing at other courts while playing doubles. This does not stop when his doubles participation is over, however. He continues to encourage and advise those competing in singles

WOMEN’S TRACK AND FIELD
Senior reflects on IU career After spending four years contributing to his team as both a player and a sideline mentor, IU men’s tennis senior Stefan Lugonjic will play his last home matchups this weekend. Lugonjic, a native of Belgrade, Serbia, has become a fundamental member of the Hoosier roster. IU Coach Jeremy Wurtzman said he has set a standard for the team on hard work and dedication. “A lot of emotions and flashbacks from when I started my collegiate career,” Lugonjic said. “Here since day one to where I am now — it is just a mix of positive and negative emotions, and I really think that it is my last home match playing for Indiana is sad.” When he was a freshman, Lugonjic begun shaping up as one key player in IU’s arsenal. During that season he recorded 12 wins, mainly at position three doubles, which included a victory against Iowa to secure the doubles point in a 4-3 IU win in April of 2014. In his four seasons, he has also capitalized in individual play and enters the weekend with a total of 27 singles career wins. However this season Lugonjic has been featured mainly in the Hoosiers’ doubles lineup and pairs up with sophomore Antonio Cembellin. Lugonjic has come out on top in six doubles matches out of eight, and, while junior Raheel Manji was out injured, he stepped up and competed at No. 1 doubles.

from the sidelines. As his final four matches in the Hoosier jersey get closer, Wurtzman said Lugonjic is seeking to continue his education in graduate school. Wurtzman said he hopes the underclassmen took a lot from him because they are seeking to build on a tradition where the younger players learn from the older players, and, once they are gone, someone else takes a leadership role. Lugonjic said he will miss his younger teammates most because they all have gone through the same lengthy process to achieve their goals. In the twilight of his collegiate career, Lugonjic said he has simple advice for the younger members of the team and future Hoosier tennis players. “They should utilize
“A lot of emotions and flashbacks from when I started my collegiate career. Here since day one to where I am now — it is just a mix of positive and negative emotions, and I really think that it is my last home match playing for Indiana is sad.” Stefan Lugonjic, IU men’s tennis senior
everything that they have in this four years,” Lugonjic said. “Because this four years go by fast, and if you do not recognize and do not see how much you have that can help you be successful, then time is going to pass by and you are going to miss an opportunity once in a lifetime.”
Fifth-year senior Sydney Clute made her first appearance in a meet all year at the start of the outdoor season at the end of March in Arizona. The Hoosiers competed in the Big Ten/Pac 12 Invitational on March 24 and 25 at Arizona State, and Clute delivered a record-breaking performance. With this single meet she became the best pole vaulter in the nation with a jump of 4.55 meters, but said that it wasn’t unexpected. “Things have been going really well in practice,” Clute said. “We’ve been working on a lot of things. I was super excited to clear it so early, and we’re excited for the rest of the season.” Despite her collegiate success in the sport, Clute, from Greenwood, Indiana, did not pick up pole vaulting until high school. Clute was a gymnast for 13 years and decided to start running track and field in middle school. She participated in the long jump, high jump, sprints and relays. In high school she continued to compete in those four events, and when coaches approached her about pole vaulting, Clute decided to give it a try. Clute is a three-time AllAmerican. She received the honor for both the indoor and outdoor seasons last year as a junior, and was also a First Team All-American for her outdoor sophomore season. After her season opener in Arizona, Clute now has the best pole vault mark in school history. In the opening week
of track and field outdoor season, Clute also won the the Big Ten athlete of the week. “I think it still means a lot to everyone just to be recognized,” Clute said. “The cool thing is that you feel part of the Big Ten and that you are connected to the conference more and that you are representing more than just yourself.” At last weekend’s Tennessee Relays, Clute won the pole vault yet again and was named Most Outstanding Women’s Field Athlete of the meet. Her mark of 4.40 meters set a new meet and facility record. Going forward Clute said even with all the recognition and awards, she can still improve. “My goal at the beginning of the season was to clear 4.60 meters which might change to 4.65 meters as the season continues, but I still have a lot of things to work on technically with my vault so just day-today,” Clute said. Clute will be graduating this spring with a masters in tourism hospitality, and she said it will be a bittersweet moment. “I’m be excited to be graduating but a little sad because I don’t want to leave the team and everything,” Clute said. After graduating, Clute isn’t leaving Indiana right away. She plans on getting a part-time job and continuing to train at least for the next three years. “My plan right now is to keep training for a couple of years and we’ll see what happens and where that takes me,” said Clute. “Olympics would be the ultimate goal.”
MEN’S BASKETBALL
Future Hoosiers to play in high school all-star game Saturday By Zain Pyarali zpyarali@iu.edu | @zainpyarali
Two IU men’s basketball signees will play in the oldest high school all-star game in the nation Saturday night in Louisville. Justin Smith and Al Durham will team up together at the 45th Kentucky Derby Festival Basketball Classic, featuring 22 of the best prep
basketball talents from around the country. The future Hoosiers will first participate in the Night of Future Stars on Justin Smith Friday night, which will feature slam dunk, 2-on-2 and 3-point shooting competitions at the IU Southeast
Activities Building. Smith and Durham will then represent IU on team Lightning during the actual Al Durham game 7 p.m. Saturday night at Freedom Hall. Team Lightning also features Indianapolis native and current UCLA commit
Kris Wilkes, as well as ESPN Top 100 player and Kentucky commit Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Illinois Mr. Basketball Mark Smith was added to the roster late but will also join team Lightning. Smith was being recruited by former IU coach Tom Crean early on and landed an offer from the Hoosiers but since has picked up offers from Michigan State
and Kentucky, among other schools. Four future Louisville Cardinals will headline team Thunder on Saturday night in addition to Michigan commit Jordan Poole from La Lumiere, Indiana. Durham recently re-committed to IU after requesting a release from his National Letter of Intent following Crean’s firing. New IU Coach Archie
Miller visited Durham at his Georgia home last week and brought the No. 49-ranked point guard in the class of 2017 back to the Hoosiers. Justin Smith, from Lincolnshire, Illinois, remained with IU following Crean’s firing and will play for Miller next year in Bloomington. He is rated as a 4-star recruit by both 247Sports and ESPN.

from 950 in 2008. The IDNR received $18 million less in general funds than they would’ve if the DNR budget had “remained static,” according to the website. “The state agencies have to continue to operate on a shoestring,” Maloney said. “And when you do that, you increase the risk that something that needs to get done won’t get done.” Phil Bloom, communications director for the DNR, said the department continues to monitor the budget process and this year’s proposed budget is very similar to budgets the DNR has seen in past years. Bloom said the Senate version of the bill contains an additional $4 million to address deferred maintenance at state parks, which Maloney called “badly needed.” Bloom did not comment on the matter further and merely said the DNR was looking forward to seeing the budget bill’s final version. “DNR will do what it always does,” Bloom said. “We’ll work within our budget.” IDEM declined to comment because its policy is not to do so during pending legislation. The author of the budget bill, Rep. Timothy Brown, R-Crawfordsville, could not be reached for comment. Indiana passes a new budget every two years. The House and the Senate have created two separate versions of the bill during the legislative process therefore they must meet in conference committee and agree on changes. Maloney said the HEC regularly expresses concerns to the legislature regarding what they see as a lack of environmental funding in the state budgets. They’d propose a 10-percent increase in general fund appropriations for both the IDEM and DNR, he said. This general fund increase for IDEM would, “underwrite critical drinking water as well as critical clean up programs,” according to

the HEC website. When a crisis happens, like in Flint or with the lead contamination incidents in East Chicago, that’s a reflection of the state not paying enough attention or devoting enough resources to making sure everything is working as it should, Maloney said. A local organization, Friends of Lake Monroe, exists as a watershed group to advocate for and protect the lake — Bloomington’s only source of water — for years to come. Organized by Sherry Mitchell-Bruker, Friends of Lake Monroe has been slowly growing in size since its inception last November. Mitchell-Bruker expressed concerns about maintaining the cleanliness of the lake’s water, which mentioned past increases in the level of disinfection byproducts and an uptick in the amount of toxic algal blooms in the water. Though at the moment there are no known health risks associated with drinking water from Lake Monroe, Mitchell-Bruker’s concern is that people be made aware of the issue and the need to constantly combat and monitor potential hazards. On a much larger scale, Maloney also worries about proposed cuts to the Environmental Protection Agency. If the cuts suggested by President Trump’s Office of Management and Budget were to go into effect, a number of programs and grants, such as the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, environmental education, lead risk reduction and nonpoint source grants, would be eliminated. Maloney described these programs in an email as “utilized by and important to Indiana.” Maloney can’t say that if Indiana passes this proposed budget as is there will be a contaminated water crisis, but it does raise the odds. “Indiana’s not always put the priority on environmental protection and natural resource conservation that we think it deserves,” Maloney said. Lyndsay Jones contributed reporting.

Battersby said the organization has three main reasons for coordinating the event each year. “We want to build solidarity, spark critical conversation, and provide a safe community platform for individuals and groups who have been marginalized,” she said. Before the march down Kirkwood, the female advocates gathered and amicably discussed the intersectionality of sexuality, feminism and diversity. Organizations such as All-Options Pregnancy Resource Center, Bloomington PRIDE, Planned Parenthood, Omega Phi Beta and the National Organization for Women had tables with information and resources for sexual assault survivors. The crowd came together and sat on the grass, while members from some of these organizations took the stage. They spoke to the crowd about how their organizations help sexual assault survivors and their

experiences dealing with sexual assault. Janae Cummings, the board chair of Bloomington PRIDE, said although her parents believed she was just as capable as any man growing up, she didn’t think of herself as a feminist. “There’s so much I don’t
know and so much I need to learn,” she said. “When I was growing up, being a feminist was a bad thing. It was a bad word. Feminists were loud and angry and stubborn and definitely ugly and probably lesbian.” Cummings emphasized the importance of being
an inclusive feminist. She said feminism is not just about being a strong woman, but also about building other women, including women of color and queer women, up. “It’s not feminism if you’ve left the rest of us behind,” Cummings said.

INDY COMIC CON
w weekend weeken
WEEKEND@IDSNEWS.COM W WE EEKEND@IDSNEW
Are you new to Indiana Comic Con or to the convention circuit in general? Weekend took some of the stress out of your geekly grind with h this guide to navigating the con. Remember: Some of these events are happening every day, or two out of three days, so check the schedules at the Convention Centerr for a full list of events for each day.
PHOTOS FROM MOVIE STILLS DATABASE
From top to bottom: Charlie Cox of “Daredevil,” Jewel Staite of “Firefly,” Millie Bobby Brown of “Stranger Things”
Friday, April 14 12 p.m. Registration opens at noon, so be sure to sign up for the talent show or speed dating in the evening if interested. Then spend the rest of the hour in the exhibitor hall getting a feel for the many fandoms in attendance. Oh, you thought you were the only Critter around? Not even close. 1-2:30 p.m. The Freestyle Dungeons and Dragons panel will pit audience members — possibly without any roleplaying experience — against high fantasy monsters for the audience’s entertainment. It’s like a gladiator match with lots of die-rolling but one that mostly takes place in your head. 2:30-3:30 p.m. Wander around the vendor booths, find as many cosplayers from the same franchise as possible and ask to take pictures with all of them — “Bob’s Burgers” and Marvel’s “The Avengers” are good bets.
3:35 p.m. Check the line for Nichelle Nichols’ “Hailing on All Frequencies” question-and-answer in Wabash 1. The talk begins at 4:30, but the only way to make sure you get in everywhere is to queue up early. 5:30 p.m. Dinner time. There is food in the convention center, but it doesn’t hurt to nip outside for a few minutes and grab something from a nearby restaurant. The food in the center can be pretty overpriced as well, so this is a good opportunity to get some fresh air and perhaps save some money as well. 6-6:50 p.m. Slip into the “Animénia” panel and meet some of the women who voice characters like Ash Ketchum, Sailor Moon and Naruto. Racial and gender representation in voice acting is a hot topic lately, and these ladies may be able to shed some much needed light on the issue. They’re billed as the “Vixens of Voiceover,” so this panel could go any number of ways.
7-8:30 p.m. Time for the Indy Comic Con talent showcase. No one ever really knows what’s going to show up on stage, but isn’t that part of the fun? If you haven’t signed up to compete, take a seat in the audience and cheer for a few of your fellow con-goers. 9-10 p.m. Some sci-fi and fantasy franchises are including people from the LGBT community in their stories, but the fight is far from over. People at the Love is Love is Love is Love meet-up will swap stories about fandoms and talk newfound representation. It’s not good to burn out on the first day — if you’re planning to come back on Saturday and Sunday, maybe call it a day or head home. Otherwise, check the official schedule for after-party locations or nerd karaoke.
Saturday, April 15 9-11 a.m. It’s day two. Arrive early to squeeze in a couple hours in the main areas, vendor booths or Game Cave -—you won’t get much of a break from this point forward. 11-11:30 a.m. Start off slow with a short panel on Manly Man Facial Hair. Who couldn’t use a touchup? 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Tired of sparkly vampires? Sit in on the Creature Creation in Science Fiction and Fantasy panel and learn how to blend mythology and modernity in your own writing. 12:30-1:15 p.m. Skip the pizza line and grab lunch at another restaurant outside the Convention Center. Make sure to hold on to your badge, though. 1:15 p.m. Get in line to hear Jewel Staite
of “Firefly” fame’s question-and-answer in 500R at 2:30. Browncoats have been missing the canceled sci-fi classic for 14 years, but this goes a little ways toward healing the trauma. A group-sing of the theme song in line wouldn’t go amiss, though.
7 p.m. Take a breather, grab some food, and prepare yourself for an extremely nerdy evening. Also, if you see any rogue Deadpools who have to remove their masks to eat, remember that it’s rude to stare.
3:30 p.m. You have a minute to spare, so now is an excellent time to find a wall socket if your battery looks low. Otherwise, just spend a minute wandering the halls. Find a group cosplay and take a picture with the whole Justice League, or check out Penguin Knife Fight! Improv Comedy, a geeky troupe à la “Whose Line is it Anyway?”
8:30-9:30 p.m. Represent your Hogwarts house at an interactive Harry Potter event where the audience will argue over the houses of popular characters from other books, movies and TV shows. Would Buffy the Vampire Slayer be a Gryffindor or a Slytherin? Now is your chance to weigh in. If you show up in a costume, prepare to be sorted yourself.
4:30 p.m. Charlie Cox of Marvel’s “Daredevil” and “Stardust” appears at a Q&A at 6 p.m., which is bound to be packed with fans of the Marvel Netflix series. Check the line early, and maybe circle back around if it doesn’t seem packed yet. But if it’s already around the corner, grab a spot — the convention rooms fill up quickly.
11 p.m.-3 a.m. If you’re not ready for the day to be over — and why would you be? — consider the After-Party at Howl at the Moon, where visitors with ICC credentials will receive free admission, a discounted cocktail, and live performances of Disney and video game songs. Is it too much to hope for something from “Once More, With Feeling?”
Sunday, April 16 10 a.m.-11:00 a.m. Sunday is the last day of the convention, so check the schedule for repeats of any panels you missed on Friday or Saturday. Then head straight to the Fated Indiana Fantasy Live Action Role Play event and learn how to spar with foam weapons. Because just imagining armed combat is for losers. 11 a.m.-12 p.m. Everyone has a podcast nowadays, so you might as well learn how to do it right. This panel, “How To Productively Podcast With Others,” will provide tips for finding good co-hosts or joining established shows. With these helpful tips and techniques, you’ll be hitting the airwaves in no time with a podcast of your own.
12 p.m. Cut out of the podcast panel early and get in line to see Millie Bobby Brown, the breakout star of “Stranger Things,” take questions starting at 1 p.m. 13 year old Brown canceled most of her convention appearances a few weeks ago, so this panel is likely to be packed. The second season of the hugely popular Netflix show premieres on Halloween, so keep an ear out for information about new episodes. 2-3 p.m. Take this open hour to stroll through the hall for a final time. Wave goodbye to the vendors you’ve befriended and the poor people sitting in line outside various panels. If you have anything else you wanted to do or see or purchase, now is the time. Had your eye on
that limited edition “Firefly” poster all weekend? Now is the time to grab it. 3 p.m. Get in line one last time for Brianna Hildebrand’s question and answer at 4 p.m. The “Deadpool” and “First Girl I Loved” actress will appear in “Tragedy Girls,” a horror flick about teens with a morbid internet show later this year. Hildebrand’s follow-up to “Deadpool” will hit theaters in 2018, and the young actress is rumored to have a larger role this time around. Comic Con is the perfect opportunity to see rising stars before they make it big, and Hildebrand seems poised for an upcoming Hollywood takeover. What better way to finish your con experience?

Easy cosplays that aren’t overdone By Kate Halliwell khalliwe@indiana.edu @Kate_ _Halliwell
Headed to Indiana Comic Con this weekend but lacking in creative cosplay ideas? Fear not. From escaped AIs to fan favorite villains, this list will help you make an impression at this weekend’s convention with minimal effort. Melissa McCarthy as Sean Spicer (“Saturday Night Live”) We would never suggest dressing up as the press secretary himself, but McCarthy’s perfect impression is definitely worth a cosplay or two. You’ll need a bald cap, plenty of chewing gum, and a water gun to silence those pesky journalists. Motorized podium optional. Ilvermorny students (“Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them”) Update the traditional Hogwarts students group costume with burgundy-andblue scarves for the Illvermorny house of your choice. Extra credit for clover pins or gold accents. Bonus: your terrible British accent is not necessary this time around. Escaped robots (“Westworld,” “Ex Machina”) From the crafty AIs of “Westworld” to cold, beautiful Ava of “Ex Machina,” escaped robots are in lately. Adopt your best “Hello, fellow humans” demeanor and hit the
convention floor with your friends, who are definitely also organically human and totally not escaped AIs as well. Mitsuha Miyamisu and Taki Tachibana (“Your Name”) “Your Name” was released April 7 in the United States after becoming the highestgrossing anime film of all time, easily overtaking Miyazaki’s “Spirited Away.” Grab a friend of the opposite gender and two school uniforms, one red tie and one green, then pretend to swap bodies throughout the day. Billy Eichner (“Billy on the Street”) Rather than an elaborate costume, cosplaying as Billy Eichner’s ridiculous “Billy on the Street” character requires a commitment of attitude. Dash through the con, shove your microphone in people’s faces and give out niche pop culture prizes, like a bejeweled macaroni sculpture of Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Cecil Palmer (“Welcome to Nightvale”) Wear anything. When you tell people you’re Cecil Palmer from popular podcast series “Welcome to Nightvale,” they may not recognize you — but they can’t contradict you either. Lenny Busker/The Shadow King(“Legion”) Harley Quinn can’t be the only crazy villainess at this
year’s convention. Aubrey Plaza’s scene-stealing Lenny was a highlight of FX’s trippy new X-Men series “Legion,” and her ever-shifting style is perfect for a delightfully demonic cosplay. Put those last-semester dark circles to good use and pair them with disheveled hair and a secondhand suit. Don’t forget the Twizzler bowtie. Gloria and Kaiju (“Colossal”) Grab a friend and a monster mask and become Anne Hathaway’s “Colossal” character accompanied by her Kaiju counterpart. The key to nailing this one is to perfectly coordinate your movements with your monster friend — we recommend at least one pre-planned dance sequence. The Defenders (Netflix’s “Defenders”) There will be plenty of Jessica Joneses walking around at this year’s convention, but the full Defenders gang is bound to be a bit more rare. With a yellow shirt for Luke Cage, a suit and sunglasses for Matt Murdock and generic hippy attire for Danny Rand, you’ll make the Avengers look ridiculously overdressed. This squad doesn’t need special suits to kick serious ass. Horse Ninja (“Horse Ninja”) This may be the most niche reference in a list of niche references. For your Horse Ninja cosplay, wear business clothes with a horse

mask. Make sure to bring a sign that says “I am not Bojack Horseman” to avoid unnecessary confusion. Audrey and Elvis (“Big Little Lies”) Casual TV watchers may just see an approximation of Audrey Hepburn and Elvis Presley, but fans of HBO’s “Big Little Lies” will see through the tiara and disco suit to the scheming Monterey couple that lies beneath. Actual murder cover-up optional. Undercover American gods (“American Gods”) Starz’ upcoming series “American Gods,” based on a novel by Neil Gaiman, follows a battle between old
gods like Odin and Anansi and new gods like Media and Technology. Choose your side wisely, assemble your allegiances and prepare to wage an undercover war amid a crowd of oblivious mortals. The Archie gang (“Riverdale”) Hot Archie and his friends are taking over the teen TV landscape with new CW show “Riverdale.” No ginger friends? Fear not — KJ Apa’s red hair on the show is far from natural. Spray some temporary orange hair dye on the closest willing participant, assemble the rest of the squad, and you’re good to go.
Lacie (“Black Mirror”) In order to successfully cosplay as Bryce Dallas Howard’s “Black Mirror” character, a pastel outfit and permanent smile are a must. Have your phone out at all times, and rate everyone based on how nice they are to you. Someone cuts in line for a panel? One star for them. The Guilty Remnant (“The Leftovers”) The final season of HBO drama “The Leftovers” premieres on April 16, which means it’s the perfect time to remind people of the Sudden Departure. You know the drill — dress in all white, grab a cigarette, and whatever you do, don’t say a word.
Navigating the con: top tips and tricks By Anne Halliwell ahalliwe@indiana.edu @Anne_Halliwell
Remember the essentials — bring your badge or ticket, ID, phone charger, money and snacks.. Autographs and pictures with celebrity guests are cashonly, so have your wallet on hand.
Ask before you snap. Cosplayers are usually happy to take pictures with you, but it’s polite to warn people. Spend some time with the vendors. Even if you don’t plan to spend much — or any — money, any downtime you have is well-spent looking at the displays. Prioritize. Get in line
early for the events you know you want to see, even if it means skipping another panel that could be interesting. Be ruthless — you can learn about self-publishing on the internet, but how often will you get the chance to hear Millie Bobby Brown talk about her pancake or waffle preferences? If you’re going for
celebrity panels, be ready to spend a lot of time in line. Chatting with other panelgoers is a time-honored con tradition, but bringing a book works too. You don’t have to spend a lot of money to have a good time. Panels and question-and-answer sessions are free, and so are various talent shows and
gaming opportunities. If all else fails, go scour the halls for the most awesome cosplay and send a picture to your mom, DIY a scavenger hunt, or hunt down a pickup “Cards Against Humanity” game outside of a panel. Don’t spend 12 consecutive hours in the convention center. There’s a lot to do at Comic Con, but fandom
burnout is a real thing, especially for the uninitiated. Taking a 10-minute walk to one of the nearby restaurants for lunch or dinner is a good palette-cleanser. Have fun. Comic Con is all about taking a day or three to enjoy the finest nerdy things in life. In the words of Capt. Picard, “the sky’s the limit.”

Cardinal Spirits makes a damn fine cup of vodka for the class of 2017 Life can be hard as a gluten-intolerant college senior. When I go out with friends, I sit out Sink the Biz. No Dunnkirk pizza or Big Cheeze. Not even Z&C. Remarkably, even soy sauce has gluten. I know all vodka is ostensibly gluten free. But as someone who has to be careful about what I eat, I was drawn by the fact that Cardinal Spirits advertised its Class of 2017 vodka as “gluten free.” So I took a trip over to the BLine trail, where Cardinal sits across from Hopscotch Coffee, and investigated. I didn’t have any reactions, so the “gluten free” claim must be true. I did, however, learn about the thoughtful marketing decisions that go into an iconic bird-clad Cardinal label. I sat down with cofounder and CEO Adam Quirk and discussed the
meaninglessness of food buzzwords, the science of good distilling and Cardinal’s desire to increase its relevance with students. When I first got to Cardinal, Quirk gave me a tour of the distillery. When we walked into the production room, I saw a huge shipment of white grape concentrate from Argentina. The concentrate is mixed with heaps of yeast — Cardinal’s “best employee,” Quirk says — and sits in giant silver fermenters for days. Several of Cardinal’s fermenters are named for country music stars, though my favorite was Yeezus. Every part of the spirit production process happens on site with the exception of the harvesting and processing of raw materials, such as the white grape. “We got into this because we wanted to make stuff,” said Quirk, an Evansville,
Indiana, native. After fermentation comes distillation. Cardinal bought its giant bronze steam-powered distiller — “Penny” — from Montana. Penny spends her days distilling massive quantities of spirits. The gluten debacle comes into play during distillation. Proper distillation will heat the liquid to above alcohol’s boiling point — 174 degrees Fahrenheit — until the alcohol rises out of the liquid. With the right heating, the bad chemicals, such as methanol, in fermented liquid will not rise. Gluten is too heavy a molecule to rise alongside the alcohol and should, theoretically, remain down with the fermented non-drinkable stuff. The gluten threat is tangential, at best. Most vodkas are made from potato — a starch, not glutenous — but sometimes cross-contam-
New station manager to lead WIUX move By Kathryn Jankowski kjankows@umail.iu.edu @KathrynJanko56
Sarah Cougill was elected last Sunday to be the new station manager of WIUX. She said she has been involved with WIUX since her freshman year and decided it was time to take on more responsibility. Cougill, a sophomore studying marketing in the Kelley School of Business, will take on a station in transition, as WIUX will move from its current location, a house on Eighth Street and Park Avenue that has housed the station since 2014, to a newly renovated facility inside Franklin Hall. The station announced the move in November. Cougill will have many responsibilities to take on next year but said she hopes she will be able to use her business skills and creativity to continue enhancing the station’s brand. She spoke to the Indiana Daily Student about how an Arcade Fire film screening drew her into the station, why she hopes to be the “voice of reason” during the move and how the station creates its familial feel. IDS: When/how did you get involved with WIUX? Sarah Cougill: I found out about WIUX during my freshman year in the fall, and I couldn’t attend the callout meeting. I held onto the idea and went to the callout meeting spring semester because they were screening “The Reflektor Tapes” by Arcade Fire. I’ve been involved for a year and a half now. After my spring semester, I ran for a board position, so I’ve held the sales director position for the full year, and
now I am going to be station manager. What responsibilities will you take on with this new role? Definitely a lot of emails. It’s really just making sure the day-to-day functions of the station go well. I’ll be the first point of contact for the board of directors, so it is mostly just answering questions they have and making sure we are stable, especially with our move to Franklin Hall. I have to make sure we function well in the new space while still reaching out the community. What made you want to take on this role? I really enjoyed being on the board this past year and just seeing the internal function. A few people on the board approached me when it came time for the election for that position. I already had the idea seeded in my mind even though I felt a little young, but I wanted to take on more responsibility, and this is the most important thing to me here at IU so any chance I get to help things run more smoothly or be more involved I will take. What are you looking forward to most for next year? I think being able to be the voice of structure and reason during this move to Franklin Hall and help everything run smoothly. I want to see how much we can evolve but also still be rooted in WIUX as WIUX. I hope I can be the first point of contact for people, like the mother hen of WIUX. The space we are getting is on the second
floor in Franklin Hall, and it is all being renovated to be ready for next year. We are trying to rebrand certain events that were more location-specific like open mic night but still keeping them cool and casual with a home feeling. The Media School has a lot of video and audio facilities that we will be able to take advantage of, and we will be able to hold events in the lobby and other rooms around the Media School. We really want to be malleable in that new space. How will you improve WIUX? Well, I hope I do. No, I think my go-to here is the fact that I have the business background side to me and a free thinking, creative side to me. Having that balance will be important and hopefully make me a good leader. I hope it can help preserve this culture we have going at WIUX. I can use the skills I have to continue enhancing our brand and presence in the Bloomington community. What is your favorite part about WIUX? That’s an easy answer: all of the people. I think everyone will tell you that too. This combination of strange, interesting, passionate group of people. Everyone comes here with some sort of intention like having a voice or a show, or finding a group of people who are into the same strange, niche bands that they are. There is a shared interest with a lot of diversity which generates this idea-generating, fun loving community. It’s like a weird, cool family.
ination can occur between potatoes and wheat products before fermentation. Cardinal’s use of white grape rules this out from the get-go. After the tour, I got a chance to taste Cardinal’s standard vodka, the black raspberry-infused Bramble vodka and the botanical Terra gin, recognized nationally as the “best contemporary gin.” Each was powerfully smooth. The white grape really makes a difference in the smoothness and consistency in the vodkas. The Bramble was a delight, and the wild mint and lemongrass really shined through in the gin. What surprised me was the placement of the “gluten free” certification — yes, it is a federally-approved seal. Cardinal placed the words in fine print on the back of the label. While important for those with allergies, the
certification actually matters more for products that could contain gluten such as the barrel-aged whiskey and beer-based spirits, Quirk said. Food and beverage companies overuse and misuse terms like “natural” and “handcrafted.” Quirk said Cardinal weighs the importance of marketing with consumer’s need for knowledge about a product. Placing the “gluten free” on the back of the bottle was a good compromise, one Quirk said was made on gut and instinct. I think it was the right choice. Customers like me care more about honesty than buzzwords. Cardinal made 200 Class of 2017 bottles with the slogan “distilled in the best college town on earth” and accompanied by a Cardinaldesigned shot glass. The bottle and glass cost $25. As of
Hannah Alani is a senior in journalism.
Tuesday afternoon, Cardinal had already sold 80 bottles, Quirk said. Cardinal hopes the commemorative bottles will be a way to connect with students and become a part of the IU experience. “We rely on IU as a Bloomington business, as do all other Bloomington businesses,” Quirk said. But business has expanded outside Indiana. Quirk told me they’re about to send bottles to Chicago, and later this year to Washington, D.C., and Boston. As a Bloomington native who’s not afraid to endorse truly “handcrafted” products, I hope Bloomington’s oldest distillery is here to stay. halani@indiana.edu @HannahAlani
