Hoosiers helping refugees: As Afghans flee, family, friends in Indiana aim to provide aid

Deep ball next step for Indiana's offense

By Luke Christopher Norton

After 20 years, the United States withdrew its last soldier from Afghanistan on Aug. 30, ending the U.S.’s longest war.

Many Americans, including U.S. military veterans, experts on the region and people with family in Afghanistan, heavily criticized U.S. involvement in Afghanistan.

After the 9/11 attacks, the U.S. government invaded Afghanistan and toppled Taliban forces. Now, the Taliban is back in power.

Top military officials wanted to pull at-risk Afghans out of the country in early May, but the White House Administration didn’t allow it, according to NBC News. U.S. intelligence also didn’t predict the Taliban takeover would happen as quickly as it did. These are a few of the factors that contributed to chaos during the withdrawal, according to NBC News.

Some individuals familiar with Afghanistan said the U.S. withdrawal was poorly planned and left thousands of people in Afghanistan in danger.

IUSG President Ky Freeman shares goals

IU Student Government President Ky Freeman poses for a portrait Sept. 9, 2021, in front of the Sample Gates. Freeman was elected as student body president in May 2021 alongside vice president candidate Madeline Dederichs on the Elevate ticket.

By Kandace Rippy kanrippy@iu.edu

From senior year in high school to now a senior in college, Ky Freeman knew he would be a change maker.

Freeman’s first leadership position on campus was as the president of Black Student Union’s Freshman Action Team in September 2018.

From there, he was elected Black Student Union vice president in September 2019 and then president in September 2020.

Freeman was elected as Indiana University Student Government student body president in May 2021 alongside vice presidential candidate Madeline Dederichs on the Elevate ticket.

His IUSG win was not only important to the Black community but also to other underrepresented and marginalized groups on campus. The last Black IU student body president, Michael Coleman, was elected in 2010.

Freeman is the first openly gay man to serve as student body president. He is, and has always been, a remarkable person.

The questions and answers have been edited for clarity and brevity.

IDS: What attracted you to get into campus politics?

Freeman: I was looking at the necessity of change, and one thing I have always said that what we learned throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, that we learn through the racial pandemic, is that we needed to reimagine what normal looks like for

us as students, and also how we went about our day-to-day lives here at this university.

There were some conditions that were exacerbated by COVID-19 that revealed there was a void in regards to the things that we really should be focusing on as students. Whether that is looking at academic policies, the way mental health is regarded on campus and looking at how we can improve our diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, so that it wasn’t just a buzzword that we throw around but to create actionable items that we could commit to.

I think a lot of this came from seeing a need for something, and then utilizing the experience and skills I have from the Black Student Union, to then figure out how to go about coming up with this substance of change.

IDS: Going from BSU president to student body president, how have you been implementing Blackness within your presidency?

Freeman: Oh honey, every single day! The foundation of the Black Student Union is founded on kinship.

Now, when you enter into a lot of these political arenas, a lot of the time you see that there are people that are supposed to be there that represent a collective. But that’s not actually what happens. It tends to be an individualistic thing.

So, how do you then create a community in a space that for so long has been individuals representing their ideologies and their views? And that

is to figure out ways to develop community. So that is more team-building exercises and kind of seeing all of the members in the student government outside of the light that it is just a policy realm.

What are the other things that you are a part of? Because I think that most of the time, what I challenge them to do, especially what we do in the Black Student Union, is to really dissect their identity. Because when you show up to these spaces, you don’t just show up as a congress member or a director, you show up as your intersection identity.

So we actually dissect those to then see how that affects your experience here. What we don’t want to see happen is someone conflating their identity with the institution. The problem that typically comes with that in these spaces, the challenge that I am up against is when someone conflates their identity with the institution, a fundamental critique of the institution, then becomes a fundamental critique of your identity. But that’s not how it should be because they should be separate.

IDS: What inspires you?

Freeman: I think what consistently pushes me forward is the students, but I would have to say my experience with Black students, because that was my hood. That was who I represented and I went to bat for just in every way, shape, or form.

But now I have the opportunity to bring that radical love that was poured into me from my mentors,

my friends and everything that challenged me to consistently keep pushing forward to now challenge others to do that same thing on a more broader scale.

That radical love allows me to then challenge people with different ideological values. Not to say that my way is the right way or theirs is the wrong way but to actually challenge them to consider different views and to disagree respectfully and there still be love there. I think ultimately it’s the love that’s been poured into me and how people have consistently invested in me.

The constructive critiques I’ve gotten over time is something that I love to see and I love to see students find their voice. That is the most beautiful thing ever at this university, and that keeps me going forward.

Only two of Indiana junior quarterback Michael Penix Jr.’s 16 passing attempts against the University of Idaho on Saturday went 20 yards beyond the line of scrimmage.

The Hoosiers’ deepest completion came courtesy of junior backup quarterback Jack Tuttle.

Tuttle found sophomore tight end A.J. Barner before Barner blazed past the Vandals’ defensive backs for a 76-yard touchdown.

If Indiana’s offense wants to keep up with a team like the No. 8 University of Cincinnati, it’s going to need to put more emphasis on the deep passing game.

“That’s an area that we need to improve on,” offensive coordinator Nick Sheridan said in a press conference Monday. “We have shown with this group over the last few years that they’re capable of doing it.”

Still, Penix missed an open senior wide receiver Ty Fryfogle in the third quarter, which would have been good for at least 50 yards.

“I feel like I jumped just a half second too early,” Fryfogle said.

“I wish I could get that play back, but I know we’re gonna have a lot of opportunities coming up.”

Fryfogle, Penix and Indiana’s coaches were all in agreement Monday — the offense has to put more emphasis on the deep passing game, although two of Indiana’s drives with Penix began with the team less than 30 yards away from the Vandals’ endzone.

Penix completed 42.5% of passes 20 yards or more beyond the line of scrimmage for five touchdowns and two interceptions in 2020.

“We definitely want to connect on deeper routes,” Penix said.

“Those explosive plays definitely make a difference in the game.”

Indiana relied heavily on the run and made use of shorter, easier passes earlier in the game against Idaho to get Penix into a rhythm, offensive coordinator Nick Sheridan said. Penix’s first quarter completions gained an average of 6 yards.

The Hoosiers also worked to establish the run in order to get Penix more comfortable in passing situations, head coach Tom Allen said.

The Hoosiers ran the ball 22 times compared to 11 passing attempts in the first half. Graduate student running back Stephen Carr eclipsed 100 rushing yards for the first time since his freshman year at the University of Southern California. “(Carr) was our offensive player of the game, and I think that’s indicative of how the offensive line blocked,” Allen said.

Sheridan said the team needs to improve with vertical passing, and that all players on the field from the offensive line to the receivers need to be on the same page for a deeper pass play to work out.

“I thought it was a step in the right direction,” Sheridan said. “I thought Mike played with more confidence. I thought he was more comfortable out there.”

IU moves up in national rankings

By Luzane Draughon luzdraug@iu.edu | @luzdraughon

IDS: How is Ky the president different from Ky, the able-bodied, gay Black man that we see everyday?

Freeman: There is something that some people really don’t understand a lot of the time and it’s that my position is to uplift the needs of the students to the administration, to ensure that their voices are heard and to make sure that we’re making a substance of change.

Now, while I am the vessel of the student voice, at the same time there is when Ky Freeman kicks in and he is no longer the president. So there is this separation that has to be there for the sustainability of my activism —

IU Graduate Workers push for unionization — they choose this campus to get their doctoral education. He also said students on average receive $51, 775 of academic support at IUBloomington.

The IU trustees are working to lessen the fees for all students, but with the minimal funding from the state, it makes it difficult to lower fees for essential parts of campus, Carney said.

“In recent years we have streamlined those fees to lessen many of them, but with state funding accounting for only 16 % of academic and student-support programs, some fees are needed to pay for critical services such as student health, campus transportation, technology, and repair and rehabilitation of facilities,” Carney said in an email to the IDS. Doctoral student Nora Weber said her passion for fair compensation for the labor done by herself and the other graduate workers is the reason she decided to join the coalition in hopes of a union forming.

IU recognizes these workers when it comes to teaching classes, running labs and other duties that are essential to the university’s operation, but it does not consider the dire situation that graduate workers are currently due to their limited stipend, Weber said.

The movement of these unions will cause other potential students interested in graduate work to come to IU if they have a real commitment to the unions, Weber said.

“I am really optimistic about a future in which the graduate workers are in direct communication with the administration about what conditions are like for us,” Weber said.

The Indiana Graduate Workers Coalition is actively trying to organize a union for graduate employees of the university. Graduate workers at IU are demanding a response to what they call a lack of dignified working conditions such as unlivable pay and sizable fees to the university, IGWC spokesperson Cole Nelson said.

Nelson claims the graduate workers are underpaid as employees of the university, making thousands of dollars less than the standard of living in Bloomington.

Lauren Robel, former Provost of IU-Bloomington, wrote a letter in response to graduate workers’ complaints such as unlivable pay, according to an Indiana Daily Student article.

“She comes to a number of conclusions, one being that ‘end the fees’ is not a necessary demand,” Nelson said in the article. “Another being that graduate workers are, in fact, making a living wage, which is a deeply contestable argument.”

Nelson claimed unionizing will give graduate workers a path toward official recognition by the university, Nelson said.

This official recognition will make IU negotiate the concerns that graduate workers are facing across campus, which is made possible by IU’s own policy, the HR 12-20.

“The university provides an official process for us to form an employee organization, known as a union,’’ Nelson said. “The policy stipulates a three step process towards forming a labor union at IU.”

Members of the Indiana Graduate Workers Coalition protest Nov. 10, 2019, on Jordan Avenue.

This three step process requires employees to petition for the desire to have a union, Nelson said. He said the petition can only be passed when a majority of graduate workers are on union cards.

“The union card affirms

that you would like a union to exist here at IU, which shows your support for the union,” associate instructor and doctoral student Chelsea Brinda said.

Once the union is created, there will be graduate workers who will work to-

gether to see these changes made through formal discussions with the administration, Brinda said.

Out of the schools in the Big Ten, IU ranks second to last in how expensive the fees are according to 202021 academic year projec-

tions made by the IGWC. According to the projections, IU’s fees for the graduate workers per semester were $703 this fall.

IU spokesperson Chuck Carney said part-time employment is not the reason graduate students choose IU

IUBloomington and IU-Purdue University Indianapolis were both selected for top 25 rankings for “programs to look for,” according to the release.

IU moved up eight spots among all national universities, ranking 68th. Other rankings include a tie for 25th in the study abroad category and a tie for 37th of best colleges for veterans.

“Indiana University continues to focus on ensuring

all of our students succeed, our research goals are ambitious and that we are a leader in advancing economic development and quality of life for individuals throughout our state, nation and world,” IU President Pamela Whitten said in the IU release.

The IU Kelley School of Business received a ranking of eighth for business schools among national universities and fourth among public institutions, returning to its highest rank ever, according to the release. Kelley is ranked the second business school in the Big Ten, according to the release.

Ten IU specialty programs are ranked top 20 in their areas, according to the release. Some top ranked specialties are in Kelley including marketing at third,

accounting and entrepreneurship at fourth and management and management information systems at sixth.

“I’m especially proud that eight of our majors at Kelley are ranked in the top 10,” Idalene Kesner, dean of the Kelley School of Business, said in the release.

“This shows the depth and breadth of the quality of a Kelley education and affirms Kelley’s reputation as a top business school.”

According to the release, in the Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering, the undergraduate computer science cybersecurity specialty tied for 21st. Overall, the computer science program moved up one spot from last year to tie for 60th, according to the release.

City Council considers increased police pay IU’s request to dismiss

By Sean Gilley and David Wolfe Bender news@idsnews.com

The Bloomington City Council considered an ordinance to limit council meeting duration and a resolution to express support for pay raises for Bloomington Police Department officers Wednesday night.

The council discussed Mayor John Hamilton’s proposed budget weeks ago, and they’ll start considering more budget-related issues soon.

The BPD budget was a topic of concern for many city councilmembers.

City Council Meeting Time Limits Councilmember Stephen Volan proposed an ordinance which would limit the duration of council meetings, including committee meetings, from exceeding five and a half hours.

This legislation was introduced partly in response to a council meeting earlier this year to debate a bill to protect the city’s homeless population, which lasted nearly nine hours. Not more than two months after that meeting, Volan announced his plans to craft this legislation.

Volan’s proposal would also require meetings to end at 11:59 p.m. regardless of start time. Most council

meetings start at 6:30 p.m., meaning they would end at midnight following the fiveand-a-half hour standard.

“No one basically should have to be at a council meeting past midnight,” Volan said Wednesday.

At that nine-hour council meeting in March, Volan was part of a group with three other council members who proposed ending the meeting, but they never achieved the majority vote to adjourn.

The group of four could have left the meeting, effectively ending the council’s quorum.

“It’s such an extreme step,” Volan said in an interview with the Indiana Daily Student in April. “Yes, we could’ve left. We were too tired to think of it.”

Under the proposal, the only way a meeting could continue past five and a half hours or 11:59 p.m. is if all members present allow the meeting to continue. If any one councilmember wishes to adjourn the meeting, the meeting would end.

If the council wants to pause and meet another day, the meeting must be scheduled to start at least 24 hours from the beginning of the initial meeting. This part of the proposal is included to prevent a councilmember from simply starting the meeting again after midnight to in effect continue the original

meeting.

The council gave mixed opinions on this proposal, with four members of the council signaling support.

Council President Jim Sims was the only councilmember to specifically say he’d oppose the legislation. Four members abstained. A final vote will be taken at a future city council meeting.

Bloomington Police Department Salaries The council debated a resolution calling for an increase in BPD sworn officer salaries in response to a dwindling retention rate of such officers.

Right now, the mayor’s budget suggests the city’s goal is to hire 105 sworn officers, a position defined as having arresting power and wearing a badge. Only 93 sworn officers have been hired as of August, and 76 of those are readily available for dispatch.

The resolution is nonbinding, meaning this resolution represents the council’s desire to see Hamilton adjust his 2022 budget proposal to include these pay increases.

The mayor and the police chief announced their opposition to the council’s resolution in a press release hours before Wednesday’s meeting.

This topic was contentious among council mem-

bers and residents who spoke during public comment.

Since the council’s decision is non-binding and because officer salaries are negotiated with a union, council members debated whether it was the council’s place to pass this resolution.

“This topic is well within our domain,” councilmember and resolution co-sponsor Dave Rollo said. “We set salaries.”

The discussion around salaries amongst council members gradually broadened to the larger issue of public safety. Councilmember Kate Rosenbarger said she felt the issue of public safety could be improved with more social workers and resource officers rather than necessarily sworn officers, a counter to councilmember and co-sponsor Ron Smith’s suggestion to cut funding in those areas.

“I don’t agree with councilmember Smith’s idea to stop funding resource officers to find more police officers,” Rosenbarger said. “For me and my value system, that is moving the opposite direction of where I think we should be going with public safety in this city.”

Despite some objections, the council still largely approved the resolution with seven votes while Rosenbarger abstained.

vaccine lawsuit denied

By Cameron Garber garberc@iu.edu | @garber_cameron

The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals denied IU’s request to dismiss the lawsuit regarding its vaccine mandate, according to a report from WTHR. This decision comes on the heels of a Supreme Court decision to refuse to hear the case in August.

IU’s vaccine mandate, adopted for the fall 2021 semester, requires all students, faculty and staff to be fully vaccinated or have an approved exemption from vaccination before returning to campus.

Vol. 154, No. 28 © 2021

www.idsnews.com Newsroom: 812-855-0760 Business Office: 812-855-0763 Fax: 812-855-8009

Approved exemptions include religious, medical and ethical exemptions, according to IU’s vaccination website.

In blocking IU’s request to dismiss the lawsuit, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals will hear the case at a future date. The eight students challenging the mandate argue that it violates their constitutional rights to bodily integrity, autonomy and medical choice, according to a report from the New York Times.

The eight students challenging the mandate have all either received exemptions or have deferred attendance to IU, according to the report.

New England Patriots release Cam Newton for Mac Jones

By Da’Qwan Dockery dadocker@iu.edu | @ddockery35

The New England Patriots released quarterback Cam Newton Aug. 31, giving the leadership role to rookie quarterback Mac Jones.

Coach Bill Belichick told ESPN Jul. 31 Newton was the team’s official quarterback, but he wanted to rebuild that position, or another player would have to play better than him. In Belichick’s view, Jones has done that.

Jones concluded the preseason with 36 out of 52 passes completed for 389 yards, throwing one touchdown with no interceptions and playing 107 snaps — the highest among Patriots quarterbacks.

Newton started every game this preseason but did not play as much, only taking 39 snaps. He finished the preseason with 14 out of

21 passes completed for 162 yards, throwing one touchdown and one interception.

Newton played his first nine seasons with the Carolina Panthers, who selected him first overall pick in the 2011 NFL draft out of Auburn University. He is the leader in quarterback rushing touchdowns while playing with the Panthers, reaching 70 total while winning the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award in the process.

In 2015, he was named the Most Valuable Player, helping his team obtain a franchise best 15-1 record and earning his first appearance in Super Bowl 50.

Belichick said Newton was heading in the “right direction” when asked about his preseason and training camp performance. He said he was looking for consistency and production over a period of time when evaluat-

ing his quarterbacks, which included practices and games.

A breakthrough moment came for Jones when Newton missed three practices Aug. 23 due to COVID-19 protocol. Jones took over the team, replacing Newton.

As a free agent, Newton’s career in the league is uncertain to many critics. The Dallas Cowboys recently expressed their interest in the quarterback after the release, according to NFL reporter Josina Anderson.

Other teams such as the Washington Football Team, Houston Texans and the Denver Broncos have shown potential interest in the veteran quarterback.

“I really appreciate all the love and support during this time,” Newton said on his Instagram account. “But I must say, please don’t feel sorry for me. I’m good.”

Michael K. Williams: death by typecast

By Stefan Townes sztownes@iu.edu

Michael K. Williams, an acclaimed actor that brought new life to television with his darkly realistic performances, is dead at age 54, presumably from a drug overdose.

The first thing I thought of when I heard the news

was Williams once said, “If I were typecast I would be in jail or dead. But I’m here. I got out.”

The quote comes from a short film he did for HBO and the Atlantic in 2018, where he acted out four different portrayals of himself.

In it, he reflects on his acting career and whether or not

he is typecast, which means an actor only plays certain roles, like villains or comedic characters, regardless of one’s ability.

The different versions of himself say he’s always going to be seen as a gangster due to his roles, his race and the realities of the entertainment industry. One of the

The right way for non-Blacks to partake in Blackness

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Joseph Simmons of Run-D.M.C., left, Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, middle, and Darryl McDaniels of Run D.M.C., right, perform onstage during the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards Jan. 26, 2020, at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles.

— one of the most historic stages in American history — with half a dozen Black people.

The message was clear.

Goodman only cared about making great music. He was aware of the racial realities surrounding jazz and his place in it but let the artistry speak for itself. This mentality led to other white jazz musicians making great contributions to the genre.

For a modern example, look at Kenny Beats, a white man who found himself producing songs for names like Denzel Curry, Rico Nasty and Gucci Mane. Kenny likes to be in the background in production and collaboration with Black artists, as opposed to other non-Black artists who center their work around themselves.

He even has a YouTube series where he showcases how he works with artists to make songs.

He doesn’t take himself too seriously and has a fun rapport with his collaborators. This doesn’t mean he views the music he makes as unimportant — he just takes a backseat to the Black artists he’s showcasing.

Maybe the most well-

known example of white artists in Black music is the collaboration between rock band Aerosmith and rap group Run-D.M.C. The groups collaborated to make “Walk This Way,” a song that mixed glam rock — a decidedly white version of rock and roll — and hip-hop.

The two groups were popular in their own genres, but their audiences rarely overlapped. This collaboration, along with a groundbreaking 1986 music video, brought change to popular music as a whole.

These examples give some understanding as to why some non-Black artists are respected in these Black music spaces. There are plenty more examples, like the Beastie Boys or the late Mac Miller, but the pattern remains: let the music be your motivation.

These artists recognize they’re guests in a Black space, and while they focus on the art, they also take care not to disrespect the origin of the music.

That makes entering a Black space sound easy.

Frankly, it is. It’s just surprising how many miss the mark.

the prohibition era, and even gave a powerful performance portraying the father of one of the Central Park Five in the Netflix series When They See Us. The last role he would make headlines playing was in Lovecraft Country, a horror themed show centering on the atrocities Black people faced in America throughout the 20th century. The show had its share of criticism for focusing too much on Black trauma, but regardless, Williams’ role had wowed critics again. He was even nominated for an Emmy for his performance.

It would open up old wounds. After filming the first season of the show, Williams relapsed into his drug abuse and sought therapy for the first time.

“That show woke up a lot of demons. A lot. It cut me really close to the bone,” Williams said in an interview with Men’s Health. “You know, as people of color in Hollywood, entertainment, a lot of times we don’t pay attention to the fact that we sell trauma. Some of our most wanting work is root-

ed—most of the time—in pain and trauma.”

I keep watching the video, seeing four versions of Williams speak. One said, “I picked these roles. Me. I made this path for myself.”

Another said, “Did you? Or did they choose you? You think we would be doing what we doing if we had a choice?”

Michael K. Williams led a life of pain. Pain he translated beautifully on screen.

It was a kind of pain so understood by him that it won him countless awards and cemented his name in television history. While he was praised as Omar Little, as Chalky White, as Bobby McCray and all these other roles centering Black trauma and Black violence, it ate away at him.

In the video, he said, “If I were typecast I’d be in jail or dead. But I’m here. I got out.

Got myself out.”

But I don’t think he believed himself when he said it. The camera shows all the characters he played are gone, and all that’s left is Mike. And now, Mike is gone too. May he rest in peace.

Neal-Marshall Center hosts reopening event

By Kandace Rippy

By Stefan Townes

Jazz is Black. Hip-hop is Black. R&B is Black. Yet some of the biggest names in those genres are not. Think of Bill Evans for jazz, Eminem for hip-hop or Adele for R&B. Of non-Black names like these, few are respected, but why?

In any space made by Black people, there’s going to be some non-Black people who want in. With the societal space Black culture holds right now — being both persecuted and celebrated — it creates a difficult situation: how can nonBlack people participate?

I’ve written about how it can go wrong before. Sometimes non-Black people use Blackness as a stepping stone to other ventures, sometimes they ridicule Blackness to make a joke or sometimes they try to claim a space that isn’t theirs.

It’s much harder to deduce what makes some nonBlack people in these spaces garner respect.

One of the earliest examples of this would be in jazz. The genre was popularized in the days of Jim Crow, which meant it led to deep conflict. Black musicians weren’t on grand stages just yet, and white musicians never played with them.

Performance venues were still heavily segregated and that barrier wouldn’t be broken until Benny Goodman came along. Goodman, a white man, decided to have a band of both Black and white musicians, caring only for the music they could deliver together.

Because of this, he was able to deliver one of the most important performances in music history. His jazz band played in Carnegie Hall

four versions said, “You always gonna play some version of Mike. Gangster Mike.

Old timey gangster Mike.

Southern Gangster Mike.”

Williams gained recognition for his breakout role of Omar Little in the show “The Wire,” a role that cemented him as one of the best television actors. He was praised for the realism and subtlety he brought to the screen.

The role centered around the character’s conflict between a strict moral code and the drug trade taking place around him. It wasn’t an easy one for Williams to play.

“I suffered from a huge identity crisis,” Williams said in an interview with The New Jersey Star-Ledger.

“But when I look at the characters, I got to exorcise my demons, a lot. In the end, I was more comfortable with Omar’s skin than my own.

That was a problem.”

He would eventually get clean with the help of a ministry near his residence, and his career would continue to flourish. He got roles in shows and films such as Boardwalk Empire as Chalky White, a Black gangster in

The Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center hosted “Coming Back Home” on Sunday Sept. 12. This event was to symbolize the collective efforts to reclaim both the literal and figurative space that is the Neal-Marshall and all that it represents for the Black community in Bloomington, according to the Neal-Marshall website.

Director of the NealMarshall, Gloria Howell, said it was important for the Neal-Marshall to have this program because it gives the Black IU community a place to enjoy again.

“We miss everybody,” Howell said. “We know that we have been away physically from the building, so this is a symbolic program to open the Neal-Marshall and all that it means to anyone who walks through these doors.”

She also shared her plans to make this a recurring event for the Neal-Marshall to welcome everyone to the space.

The program featured words from Black faculty, staff and student leaders.

Monica Johnson, assistant vice president for diversity education and cross-cultural engagement, shared greetings for everyone.

“This feels like coming back home,” Johnson said. “It is an honor to be loved by this space. It is a blessing to have a place like this on campus for people to call home, because not a lot of people have the privilege of having this space at a predominantly white institution. Post-COVID-19, it is still home.

The event recognized those who have passed on with a moment of silence.

Those who were recognized were loved ones, Black celebrities and those who lost

their lives due to police brutality and racially motivated crimes.

Maria Hamilton Abegunde, assistant professor for the African American African Diaspora Studies department, called for the audience to listen to the wind around them.

“The wind is the breath of our ancestors,” Abegunde said. “Home is the Neal-Marshall, the African American Arts Institute, and the African American African Diaspora Studies department. This is home to the spirit and it keeps us thriving. It is home to help keep mind, body and spirit together. When I enter this place, this is a place where past, present and future come together.”

Tislam Swift, a graduate student at Jacobs School of Music, and Jude Richardson, an undergraduate student, performed a rendition of “My Soul Has Been Anchored in the Lord.”

After the musical performance, students of the Black IU community shared their excitement about the reopening of the Neal-Marshall.

President of the IU chapter of the NAACP, Ramatou

Soumare, talked about what it means to be back at the Neal-Marshall.

“It is important to know that we are here now, where some weren’t able to make it thus far,” Soumare said. “We are here as a resource. Get out of your comfort zone and continue to show up. Do not forget the importance and history of the Neal-Marshall.”

During the event, Tiera Howleit and Joa’Quinn Griffin were honored for their initiative in creating the Black Lives Matter mural painted on the street in front of the Neal-Marshall. The mural served as a place of unity for a community that is filled with individuals of multicultural backgrounds.

This event was able to bring together a community that has not been able to see one other in person for some time. The event highlighted prominent Black students working on campus and paid respect to those who lost their lives over the past year and a half.

The next event at the Neal-Marshall will be Umoja Day on Sept. 17.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 the person and president.

Which again you have to figure out the ways in which to set boundaries too, and I think Ky Freeman is going to be very outspoken about injustice and things of that caliber, and that kind of comes naturally — my type of speech and demeanor. But sometimes when it does come into the conversation of Ky Freeman, the president, he still is very socially conscious and socially aware, but he has to navigate that space a little bit differently, because now I am being hyper focused as opposed to not being under the spotlight.

Ky Freeman, the everyday person, would tell you, “This is what I think about this!”

Ky Freeman, the student body president, will tell you both sides. He’s going to allow you to then form your own viewpoint and allow you to then make your own decision. And that’s kind of the difference that happens with those identities because I don’t want to tell you to pick a side, but I want to make sure you have all of the adequate resources to do research for yourself.

IDS: What progress are you looking to make while being president?

Freeman: The two biggest things that we are really working on, given as we look across campus now and we look at how long lines are for food or the shortages of student workers.

The biggest thing that we are going to be fighting for more than anything is an increase in the student wage.

Everyone knows it’s around $10.15 an hour, but right now more than ever, after coming off a pandemic that has disproportionately affected college

students because they weren’t prioritized in relief packages or aid in that kind of way, we can actually look at how we treat our student workers here.

A student worker can be doing the same job as a full-time worker, but the full-time worker gets paid more than the student worker. When we look at how they both also live in the same community, when the prices are extremely high to live in Bloomington.

I think now more than ever, after coming off a pandemic, we do need to reevaluate this conversation of what wages look like for students, especially because they’re temporary workers.

The next thing that we’ll really be looking at, too, is campus safety. More specifically, looking at the intersections of mental health and cops.

As we come from 2020, we see that there was also a call to reevaluate how we go about policing in our own communities and also when are the opportunities that we need to call the police or direct this conversation to someone else. We’re going to look through some of those things and figure out how we can finetune those practices.

We’re looking at how we can make sure that we’re not criminalizing mental health issues that we have here and how overall, realistically, look at what police are responding to on campus and should they even be the ones that are responding.

We want to make sure that we are creating this sense of belonging but also still keeping this public safety as a priority here at this university now that we’re back at full capacity.

Freeman: One thing that I always consistently go back to is as a leader, you never lose. You never do. You either win, or you’re going to learn something at the end of it.

And I challenge them, that when they’re looking at winning and learning, you learn in those opportunities where people say you failed — you actually learned something. You learned that maybe you need to take a better route or maybe you need to reevaluate your position on the matter.

I think that if they look at it with a growth mindset, instead of “there are so many problems,” they can look at it as there are so many opportunities to learn from here at this university.

That is how you will be able, I believe, to really make those active stances and steps up in any type of leadership roles that you have here.

And the next thing I would say is figure out what it is you want to do. I’m not talking about your major or anything like that. It’s great to be involved

in three or four organizations where you can really give it your 103% all, so that you can look at the structure of the organization financially, how to improve membership and look at all of the things in this organization.

Because if you spread yourself out too thin, you’ll never really give anything 100%.

IDS: What is your favorite show to binge watch and favorite song to listen to?

Freeman: I actually just finished my favorite show to binge watch. I just finished watching Supernatural. It was 15 seasons and I’ve been watching it since November 2020. I had to cry on the last episode because I’ve been watching Dean and Sam for so long.

And for my favorite song to listen to, I don’t care if I’m sad or ugly crying, “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” by Whitney Houston always gets me hype!

RUSS’ RESPONSES

Senator Mike Braun’s comments on refugee resettlement are unjustified Russ Hensley (he/him) is a junior studying international law and institutions and Chinese language and culture with a double minor in mathematics and Spanish.

Due to the recent overtaking of the Afghanistan government by Taliban forces, Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb announced Sept. 1 Camp Atterbury, an Indiana National Guard operated training base, will hold up to 5,000 Afghan refugees.

The first refugees arrived on Sept. 6 and will receive temporary housing and social services. Each refugee participates in an intense vetting process as well as a 14-day medical screening before permanently resettling across the nation.

Releasing a statement on Aug. 29, Indiana Republican Sen. Mike Braun was quick to respond to Indiana’s welcoming of Afghan refugees.

Braun seemingly disguises xenophobia with worries of “transparency in the vetting process” and the safety of Indiana residents. By not acknowledging historical facts regarding the United States’ intervention into Afghanistan, Braun’s statement falsely characterizes Afghan refugees.

We must stand with refugees as they face the perils of immigrating to a new country instead of immediately questioning their character.

“It is extremely important that all local units of government and first responders know who they are, how many, and what part of the vetting process they’re in so Hoosiers do not suffer the fallout of President Biden’s disastrous withdrawal,” Braun said in a statement.

Although questioning the vetting process of refugees and calling for communication with local authorities is not inherently harmful, the vetting process for Afghan refugees entering the United States is extremely comprehensive.

Biomedical background checks are conducted in Afghanistan, often including voice prints, iris scans and facial photos. Additionally, refugees toward the end of

Soldiers with the 1st Cavalry Division and Indiana National Guard greeted the Afghans, who will begin their safe resettlement to the United States.

their vetting process while in Afghanistan are permitted to finish their vetting process in the United States. Many refugees are relocated to a third country, such as Qatar or Kuwait, where they are subjected to an additional rigorous vetting process before arrival to the United States.

Many Afghan refugees entering the United States aided the U.S. armed forces as interpreters and translators and are being offered Special Immigrant Visas. The remaining Afghan refugees, including many who fear persecution by staying in Afghanistan, may seek asylum or enter the U.S. for a temporary period through humanitarian parole.

“I have communicated to the relevant federal departments that vetting details and any plans for resettlement must be transparent and public so we can honor our commitments to our Afghan allies while keeping Hoosier communities safe,” Braun said in the statement.

Referring to topics such as transparency and safety of Hoosiers appears like an attempt to mischaracterize Afghan refugees as perpetrators of violence, setting the tone for how the public will view them before they touch ground in Indiana.

But the question remains, why do some people feel threatened by the presence of Afghan refugees?

Our safety is not being threatened by the arrival of Afghan immigrants, but the influence of harmful rhetoric like Braun’s threatens the safety of Afghan refugees.

Braun has seemingly decided to spread fear of Afghan refugees instead of utilizing his position to aid them. In his insidious comments, Braun has failed to acknowledge the U.S.’s part in the destruction of Afghanistan, seemingly blinded by ideology rooted in American exceptionalism.

“It seems a valid question to ask whether the United States can claim much moral authority internationally after handing Afghanistan, and its millions of hapless

citizens, back to the custody of the Taliban,” reporter Jon Lee Anderson, who is covering the crisis in Afghanistan, said in the New Yorker.

The ruination of Afghanistan did not happen overnight, but rather it was the result of decades of failed American intervention. Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai was frequently critical about the United States’ overbearing political influence in Afghanistan, referring to the unexpected consequences of the U.S.’s attempt to keep Afghan politics intact.

The consequences of the U.S.’s attempt to establish a Western democratic model, or “fix” the government in

Afghanistan, is exemplified by the Taliban’s new rule of Afghanistan, making the U.S.’s involvement a failure.

After refugees were forced to leave their home country to seek safety from the Taliban forces, Braun’s unjustified comments do nothing but enhance feelings of isolation already associated with immigrating to a foreign country.

As Hoosiers, it is essential to take a step back and understand the historical context behind the situation before being quick to judge the moral character of any refugee coming into the United States. ruruhens@iu.edu

CLEAR CUT

College students can fight fake news Chris Sciortino (he/him) is a junior studying theater and public relations.

In the era of fake news, crusades of politicization and partisan spin have breached the arena of facts.

Truths once accepted as common, apolitical beliefs have been leveraged as political propaganda without any regard to the broader effect this distortion will have on the world.

With the increasing prevalence of misinformation, college students entering the adult world are tasked with the responsibility of checking facts and sharing only credible news. Otherwise, every truth is at risk of becoming warped and indefensible.

Never in our country’s history have we been able to so clearly see the link between misinformation and its potentially deadly consequences. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic doubts have surfaced about everything from the effectiveness of masks at preventing infection to the efficacy of vaccines, both of which are effective.

These two pieces of information, however, should be considered common knowledge. We all know doctors wear masks to prevent the spread of disease, and vaccines have protected people from diseases that used to be prevalent, such as polio, tetanus and measles.

“The fundamental problem with misinformation is that once people have heard it, they tend to believe and act on it, even after it’s been corrected,” Dr. Stephan Lewandowsky, a psychology professor at University of Bristol, said in an article from the American Psychological Association.

The battle runs deeper

TORI KRZYSTON | IDS

A woman looks at her phone on Sept. 7. Misinformation can spread quickly on social media.

than simply correcting misguided opinions.

A recent — and horrifying — example of the threat misinformation presents in the medical world is Ivermectin, a veterinary drug that spread across the internet claiming to be a quick cure for COVID-19. False claims spread so fast that on Sept. 4 it was reported that hospitals in Oklahoma were overrun by people seeking medical attention after taking the drug.

First discussed in a 2020 publication by an Egyptian doctor, claims that Ivermectin caused patients with COVID-19 to recover quickly went widely unchallenged until the doctor’s study was retracted in July. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Food and Drug Administration have stated the drug has no proven connection to helping fight against the virus.

The study, shared far and

wide even after it was proven false, provides tempting evidence for those desperate to cure their active infections.

Is there any way to course-correct these misconceptions or stop them from spreading in the first place?

Issuing corrections in response to misinformation is one strategy, science writer Zara Abrams said in an article from the American Psychological Association.

“Much more effective, though, is inoculating people against fake news before they’re exposed — a strategy known as ‘pre-bunking,’” Adams said in the article.

Pre-bunking works in reverse of typical fact-checking. Similar to a vaccine, if we are exposed to small bits of fake news before we run into them organically, we naturally become more resistant to false claims formed using that misinfor-

mation. As students, we can apply this technique every time we run into new information by fully researching topics and coming to educated conclusions.

In the instance of Ivermectin, the lack of further research and basic fact checking by information consumers led to the endangerment of lives across the United States. When your research consists of shared Facebook articles and stories on Instagram, there aren’t any checks on the provided information.

Without a second opinion of a trusted health care professional or additional Google search for confirmation, people’s lives were put on the line.

We as students must remain vigilant in the value of our own beliefs. We can start by analyzing the reliability of our own sources and understanding how fake news can spread online so we don’t fall victim to misinformation.

A stellar research tool provided by IU is the Observatory on Social Media whose primary purpose is to counter disinformation, information deliberately intended to mislead, and discover how it skews the perception of truth on social media. A few clicks through this website can help you visualize the spread of fake news, explore bot behavior on Twitter and discover the connection between vaccine disinformation and vaccination rates across the country.

As college kids, we are often told that we are the “best and the brightest” of America’s future. But to live up to those standards, we must ensure that we stay vigilant in our fight against misinformation and strive to uphold the truth. csciorti@iu.edu

Vegan students upset by lack of dining hall options

By Rebekah Shultz reshultz@iu.edu

When freshman Hannah Rebey arrived at IU, she searched for vegan food options, since it is a part of her treatment for her eating disorder recovery. What she found, though, were scarce food options and empty promises from the university regarding food availability.

“I came to school, and I had this whole website that was full of vegan options, and when I got here there’s pretty much nothing,” Rebey said.

IU has not updated its dining hall food options since students came to campus this year. The class of 2025 arrived and found many of the options presented to

ing, Dolgner also currently collaborates with Indiana Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics as a board member.

The Indiana Daily Student reached out to Dolgner, but she said she was not available for an interview.

Dolgner instead responded with the resource “Net Nutrition” that shows the allergen information for the food in the dining hall. She did not, however, address the lack of options.

“Their solutions were, well — they really weren’t solutions,” Rebey said. “I got an email from the nutritionist today that was like, ‘Don’t worry, we’ve got green beans you can eat at Forest,’ so all of their things that they’ve told me I can eat aren’t meals.”

A compiled list of all dining hall vegan options at IU.

“They said I can have the tater tots, a fruit cup and the salad bar,” Rebey said.

“When I went to the salad bar, they sold out of everything.”

Students like Rebey are also frustrated that they cannot always verify with a chef to check that the food is free of meat products.

“I got a Beyond Burger one time,” Rebey said. “This is just me being anxious about it, just knowing that I hadn’t had options before. I couldn’t check because there were so many people in the line for the grill at Wright that I couldn’t get up to talk to the chef to make sure it was (vegan), so I didn’t eat it.”

IU Dining’s response Dolgner also provided staffers at the IDS with a list showing all the vegan options at each dining hall.

The list includes residence hall dining areas Forest, McNutt (upon renovation) and Wright Quads as well as the Indiana Memorial Union and Campus Cafes and Campus Stores.

Dolgner also responded that she as well as the chefs would love to help any students individually to help guide them to find any specific food or diet to meet their needs. If students would like to contact Dolgner’s email nutrinfo@indiana.edu.

Dining hall alternatives Other students, like Trautmann and freshman roommate Amara VanMatre, have only gone to the dining halls twice.

“What we’ve had to do is go to an actual grocery store and buy fruit there, and then we just eat fruit or we make overnight oats or pudding,” Trautmann said.

Freshmen were required to buy at least a standard meal plan this year, which totals to $3,800 for both semesters.

“I absolutely regret getting a meal plan,” Trautmann said. “I think that the main

ILLUSTRATION BY LAWREN ELDERKIN

reason my parents got me the meal plan was because my mom knew of my dietary restrictions, and so we looked on the IU website, and it made it seem like they had so many options.”

Trautmann and VanMatre said when they have been to the dining halls, the vegan options are either sold out or they just eat salads. They feel as though they have spent a lot of money on their meal plans and it is going to waste.

The roommates also recently had to get a microwave after going to the IU Campus Stores and realizing they would have to rely on mostly microwavable vegan meals.

“When we got here, we could literally not eat anything,” Trautmann said.

“What we’ve been doing is buying frozen vegetables and then beans, and then we would buy microwavable rice and just microwave that.”

Having to buy their own food from grocery stores on

top of the IU meal plan they have already purchased is upsetting to students like VanMatre.

“It is just really hard to find food we can eat, so it’s very disappointing,” VanMatre said. “Especially because they told us there were going to be a lot of options and there’s not.”

Expensive price tags In addition to very few vegan options in the dining halls, the vegan accommodations and items are more expensive compared to the food items with no dietary restrictions on them.

At Wright Quad dining hall, “The Flame” sells burgers for $6, but the Beyond Burger is $7, and that’s before adding anything to them.

“I don’t think that at home I necessarily spend more money being vegan,” Trautmann said. “Vegan cheese can be more expensive and it is less accessible, but I think that most people on a vegan diet especially

if you come from a lowincome family can do it really cheap. I think coming to college and then having to spend more money to eat a specific diet is really unfair, especially if it’s not available half the time.”

Another food item “The Flame” sells are grilled cheese sandwiches, but the vegan grilled cheese is $6.

“I’ve been trying not to spend a lot of my meal plan because I’m not exactly sure how to budget it,” VanMatre said. “Sometimes I just won’t get the extra added stuff and just get the bare minimum.”

Wright was said to be the easiest for vegan options and accommodations by Rebey, but that is if the options are not already sold out.

“I think overall I would rate the experience probably a 1 out of 10,” Trautmann said. “Just because not only does it take so long — and this isn’t just if you’re vegan — but for vegans, all the options are constantly sold out.”

Pottery House Studio offers art classes for all ages

By Nadia Scharf njscharf@iu.edu

Susan Snyder’s smile was obvious, even with a mask on.

As she coached along a child, her hands brushed over a length of mud-brown clay.

Past pottery creations and paintable figures lined every wall and table around her, the bright paint standing out against blank white. As people walked in, she looked up and seemed to beam even wider.

Snyder owns Pottery House Studio, a local pottery studio located on South Pete Ellis Drive. The studio offers pottery painting, clay firing and pottery classes for children and adults. As an artist herself, Snyder loves working with people and seeing what they choose to make.

“There’s so much that can be done with clay, so it’s fascinating to see,” Snyder said.

“Every single step of it is really interesting to me, from shaping it to glazing it.”

Snyder became interested in pottery after transferring to IU and taking a class.

After a few years of study, she did a ceramics program in Bologna, Italy, which led her to apply to a program in Faenza, Italy. There, she spent more than 1,100 hours training in pottery techniques, including throwing on the wheel, making molds and learning how to do the traditional style of decoration, called maiolica, she

said.

Though she now owns Pottery House Studio, she’s continued working on her art. She’s a part of a local clay potter’s guild, and works of hers are on display at the

By Hand Gallery, a locally owned Bloomington gallery.

Snyder also sells her pottery, including tiles, backsplashes and customizable dinner sets on her website.

Outside the studio, a cat’s getting his spots. Jude Vanderberg, 8, is painting an animal figurine on a day out with his aunt Jordyn Watkins and uncle Paul Watkins. The group was looking for something to do locally, as Jude was visiting from out of town.

“It’s our first time here,” Jordyn said. “We try to do something new every time he comes down around Bloomington.”

Pottery House Studio offers painting both indoors and outdoors with callahead reservations. Snyder also teaches classes for both children and adults.

Children’s classes are on Tuesday or Thursday evenings, and adult classes are on Thursday nights or Friday mornings. A five-week long session costs $125 and includes all necessary materials.

The pots the adults were making were sitting out, as Snyder had trimmed the bottoms. Snyder pointed out what the kids had been working on inside: homemade Chia Pets.

ETHAN MOORE | IDS

Susan Snyder, the Pottery House Studio owner, poses for a picture inside her business Sept. 4, 2021. Snyder opened the studio in Bloomington after studying pottery in Italy.

While the adult classes throw on the wheel, Snyder said the kids’ classes work on hand-building skills such as pinch pots, coils and slab work.

The studio also offers take-home kits for both painting and clay. Customers can shop online or come in to pick out figures and paint them in person. Snyder offers free local delivery — to dorms too, she added. She

teaches an online maiolica workshop as well, based on her instruction in Faenza.

Snyder wants people to know that no experience is necessary to come to the studio.

“If someone wants to drop in on a Saturday and learn how to throw on the wheel, that’s available as well,” Snyder said. “Or if you’re looking for a fun activity, I definitely recom-

mend taking a class — that way, you have a chance to learn more than what you would just dropping in.”

Simone Vilaca has been coming to classes and helping out at the studio for two and a half years. In her time there, she’s learned to do slab work and to paint maiolica, which she said was her favorite to learn.

When asked about her favorite part of the studio, she

had a simple answer.

“Susan — she’s a good teacher, she’s kind and she loves what she does,” Vilaca said. “And the people that come here, everyone is awesome.”

“It’s a wonderful community of people — it’s not just a studio,” Snyder said.

“There’s a lot of people who have been coming for a long time, and it feels kind of like an extended family.”

HEADLINES WITH HARIPRIYA

‘Shang-Chi’ makes history as the first Asian-led Marvel movie Haripriya Jalluri (she/her) is a sophomore studying management with a minor in media and creative advertising.

Editor’s Note: This piece contains spoilers from Marvel’s “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” and the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a whole.

The release and success of “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” made history in multiple ways. To start, it is the first Asian-led Marvel superhero movie and introduces Simu Liu into the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the titular role of Shang-Chi. The influx of diversity introduced in the MCU through Phase Four — which are the films in the MCU that will be released between 2021 until 2023 — has been long-awaited, and I am so excited to see the rest of Phase Four play out. Not only that, but this is the first Phase Four MCU movie to receive only a theatrical release. “Shang-

Chi” broke records for the largest Labor Day box office opening at $94.4 million.

In addition, the film is also the first English-speaking role for the popular Hong Kong actor Tony Chiu-Wai Leung, who portrays Shang’s father and head of the Ten Rings organization Xu Wenwu.

To me, “Shang-Chi” is what I have been waiting for from the MCU. From the fight sequences to the visuals and comedy, this movie has won my heart.

That is not saying the other MCU movies did not hit the nail on the head, because I believe a lot of them did. But when it comes to overall cultural representation and the general storyline, this movie gets a 9.9 out of 10 from me.

With .1 being subtracted for the slower moments in the middle, which included some of the scenes of Shang and Katy, portrayed by Awkwafina, before the movie’s plot advanced forward.

One of my favorite scenes

MOVIE STILLS DATABASE

“Shang-Chi” was released in theaters Sept. 3, 2021. The movie made more than $70 million at the box-office opening weekend.

is the opening. Marvel has always, in my opinion, been a hard-hitter with their opening scenes. But the opening scenes so far in Phase Four, both film and series, have been more captivating to watch than their previous films.

This movie’s opening scene introduces the infamous Ten Rings organiza-

Opportunities for year round Part Time Jobs

tion, which has been rebranded to its true representation from what we saw in “Iron Man.” When we originally saw the Ten Rings flag, it contained Mongolian script.

However, the rebranded flag we see in “Shang-Chi” contains Chinese script meaning power and strength. By showing the true branding of the Ten Rings organization,

the group is differentiated from the pseudo Ten Rings in “Iron Man” and embraces its true origin.

The movie dialogue switches between English and Mandarin, with the Mandarin translated in English subtitles.

This detail continues to exemplify the diversity and inclusion that this movie represents by embracing the mother tongue of Shang and other characters and allowing them to be their authentic, cultural and ethnic selves. Adding to the culture are the mesmerizing martial arts scenes, which are hands-down some of the best fight sequences in the MCU. Once Shang was introduced on screen, the humor and the lighthearted nature of the scenes began.

The team up between Shang and Katy was a huge success.

Katy is the typical Marvel hero’s best friend, without whom the hero would not be able to finish their mission.

The movie introduces Ta

Lo to the MCU, a mythical, hidden village that is located in a dimension within the multiverse. “Shang-Chi” is not the first piece of Phase Four to include the multiverse, but after the season one finale of Marvel’s “Loki”, the inclusion of it in this movie increases my excitement and anticipation to dive into the multiverse in “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” and “Spider-Man: No Way Home.”

The costume designs and mythical creatures of Ta Lo are also spectacular. As a fan of the fantasy and adventure genres, I was blown away by the visuals in this movie.

Shang-Chi’s journey has him fighting between differing forces of good and evil, not only with the movie’s villains, but also fighting an internal battle with himself.

The path he takes to self-acceptance is a reflective and inspiring one, with a splash of humor. hjalluri@iu.edu

figure things out and find next steps, and I don’t really have anything,” Burkhardt said.

Burkhardt helped train the Commando forces, a special forces infantry unit trained by the U.S. military. In Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, Taliban forces are going around searching for and hanging Afghans who were in the Commando forces, he said.

Thousands of Afghans who fought alongside the U.S., including the Commandos, are in hiding because the Taliban is hunting them, according to the New York Times.

The Taliban is threatening to punish family members if they can’t find the people they’re looking for.

“We don’t have media coverage outside the airport,” Burkhardt said. “Bad things are happening to a lot of people who helped the United States.”

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Rahman Arman, Afghan languages developer at IU, said his brothers and sisters are still in Afghanistan and currently traveling in a caravan throughout the country and trying to escape.

They have to keep moving — changing locations every night— so the Taliban doesn’t catch them, he said.

Arman said he can’t use Facebook to chat with his siblings because the Taliban might track his account, so he has to keep finding different applications to talk to his siblings, which makes communication unreliable.

Camp Atterbury, located 40 miles south of Indianapolis, is providing temporary housing for Afghan refugees.

The first group of about a thousand refugees arrived Sept. 2, according to WFYI. Todd Burkhardt is a retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel and Commando Special Operations Advisory Group deputy commander with 27 years of active duty experience, including in Afghanistan.

Burkhardt said he has tried to get his friends out of Afghanistan for the last two weeks.

“With the fall of Kabul, veterans saw this as a call to action to help our Afghan partners because our government had no real plan to do so,” Burkhardt said in an email.

One of the people Burkhardt is trying to help is an interpreter who worked with the U.S. military during the war. The interpreter is with his eight-months-pregnant wife and nephew. The Taliban could kill or attack his family anytime, Burkhardt said.

“My friends in Afghanistan write me every day, and I’m trying to coordinate to try and

* * * Afghanistan was in long wars before the U.S. War in Afghanistan, according to PBS. The first modern war in Afghanistan began as a proxy war between the Western and Eastern blocs during the cold war, Nazif Shahrani, IU professor of Near Eastern languages and cultures, said. This means the war was initiated by a major power that does little of the fighting themselves, according to Brookings.

After al-Qaida leaders orchestrated the 9/11 attacks, the Bush administration invaded Afghanistan in 2001, beginning the decades-long war, Abdulkader Sinno, associate professor of political science and Middle Eastern studies, said in an email.

The Taliban first gained power in the 1990s during the Afghan Civil War. In the 1970s and 1980s, Afghanistan was receiving foreign aid from the

Soviet Union and the U.S, Ali Olomi, Penn State assistant professor of history, said in the Conversation. The U.S. funded a resistance movement, called the Mujahedeene-Khalq, to counter Soviet forces in Afghanistan, Olomi wrote.

The Soviet Union withdrew from Afghanistan in 1989. The Taliban emerged from Mujahedeen-e-Khalq groups and religious seminaries in Pakistan and Afghanistan, according to NPR. Most Taliban members are from the next generation of Afghans, not the Mujahedeen-e-Khalq. The Taliban ended up fighting the Mujahedeen-e-Khalq, Olomi wrote in the Conversation.

The Taliban and al-Qaida are different terrorist groups, but the Taliban ruled most of Afghanistan at the time the U.S. entered the country. The U.S. defeated the Taliban in 2002, but the Taliban reconstituted as an insurgent organization — a movement that tries to overthrow the government, Sinno said.

The Taliban recruited local people to its organization through force and bribery.

This created a decentralized network, contributing to its rise as an insurgent organization, Olomi wrote in the Conversation.

Sinno said he thought in 2005 the U.S.-backed regime would collapse when the U.S. withdrew from the country.

“It is safe to say that most U.S. agencies never really understood Afghanistan and the dynamics of conflict in that country,” Sinno said.

The Taliban quickly took back control of Afghanistan because many U.S.-backed Afghan soldiers were ready to abandon their posts or switch sides when the Taliban took over and the U.S. pulled out, Sinno said. He said many sol-

“We played a large role in destroying Afghanistan,” Sinno said. “And it was all for nothing.” * * * Students should be paying attention to what happened in Afghanistan, so they don’t make the mistake of believing leaders who want to waste money on senseless wars that cost lives, Sinno said.

The war was paid for with borrowed money, which will be paid for through taxes, according to the Associated Press, and generations of Americans will be responsible for paying it off.

White House administrations made promises to protect the Afghans who have built a partnership with the U.S. military, Burkhardt said.

Working with the U.S. put Afghans and their families in danger, and Burkhardt said the U.S. administration turned its back on their Afghan partners.

The last four White House administrations failed to provide safety for thousands of Afghans who worked with the U.S. military, and many veterans who served in Afghanistan are trying to help their Afghan partners and their families, Burkhardt said.

“Our military and coalition forces did an amazing, amazing job,” Burkhardt said. “Our government failed to plan, but our military was exceptional.”

Failures across the last four presidencies — George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Donald Trump and Joe Biden — contributed to the tragedies in Afghanistan, Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is a 7 — Find a quiet spot to work out a puzzle.

Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is an 8 — Participate with a powerful team to advance a shared dream. Navigate a challenge together. Focus on meeting your target for a long-term prize.

Burkhardt said. He said White House administrations often left the military to come up with solutions when it should have been a collaboration between many agencies, which is one of the factors that caused the Afghan army to crumble.

Additionally, the U.S. military and coalition forces have a complex logistical and resupply system to get resources to Afghan forces. Afghanistan lacks basic transportation infrastructure in many places, which made it impractical to try and implement the same system.

Hoarding and corruption became an issue at some military posts while other U.S.-backed Afghan army personnel weren’t getting the supplies they needed, Burkhardt said.

Afghan soldiers often didn’t have adequate food, ammunition and uniforms because the supply chain was dysfunctional, Burkhardt said. * * * Nazif Shahrani, IU professor of Near Eastern languages and cultures, said the U.S. withdrawal was a test if the U.S. built an Afghan army that could handle their own security, and it was a failure.

“President Biden knew that the Afghani government was not only corrupt but extremely fragile and extremely unreliable,” Shahrani said .

The U.S. provided weapons for the U.S.-backed Afghan forces, but many of these weapons were seized by the Taliban, according to Forbes.

“Afghanistan has been a consumer of war, not a producer of war,” Shahrani said.

$2.261 trillion on the war in Afghanistan as of April 2021.

“We think the United States spends all this money and helps all these people, but what we’re missing is how much the United States benefits from the war,” Shahrani said.

When a country is destabilized, the wealthy, professionals and academics take refuge in the U.S., draining a country of money and resources, Shahrani said.

For example, half a million Iranians came to Southern California during the Iranian Revolution in 1979, and in one year, they transferred $38 billion into American banks. Real estate in Los Angeles doubled in price, Shahrani said.

Shahrani personally experienced this process from the Soviet War in Afghanistan, which has shaped his entire career. Shahrani came to the U.S. when he was a junior in college to finish a master’s degree in anthropology, then went back to Afghanistan for two years to do fieldwork and research for his doctoral dissertation.

After he completed his dissertation fieldwork, Shahrani returned to the U.S. In 1979, the Soviet War in Afghanistan began, and he couldn’t go home. During the nine-year war, an estimated one million civilians were killed, according to the Atlantic.

Shahrani said he didn’t come to the U.S. to stay, but there was no country he could return to after the start of the Soviet War in Afghanistan.

“For 21 years, I did not become an American citizen,” Shahrani said. “For 21 years, I was waiting and expecting that the country will return to peace, and I can go home.”

FOOTBALL

Indiana football bounces back, beats Idaho

By Evan Gerike egerike@iu.edu | @evangerike

The first drive from Indiana football against the University of Idaho was slowmoving and methodical.

Then the floodgates opened on all sides of the ball for Indiana.

The Hoosiers produced in nearly every aspect of the game in their 56-14 win over Idaho on Saturday. The Hoosiers had two special teams touchdowns, two blocked punts, one forced fumble and six offensive touchdowns.

The first drive started with graduate student running back Stephen Carr patiently looking for a hole before bursting through for a 17-yard gain. The Hoosiers ran 16 more plays, picking up yardage in chunks — a 6-yard pass, a 4-yard run.

The drive culminated in a 2-yard rush into the end zone from Carr, completing a drive that lasted over eight and a half minutes. Carr had nine carries for 33 yards on the drive.

“You want to see the run game working,” Carr said in a postgame press conference.

“That means the offensive line is putting all the pieces together, which allows for everybody to have a successful game. You’ve just got to pay attention to details.”

Two plays after the first touchdown, senior linebacker Micah McFadden sacked Idaho graduate student quarterback Mike Beaudry, forcing a fumble later recovered by Indiana’s graduate student lineman Weston Kramer.

It took two more plays for junior quarterback Michael Penix Jr. to find sophomore receiver Javon Swinton in the end zone, extending the Indiana lead to 14-0.

Swinton missed the game against Iowa to serve a onegame suspension for disciplinary issues, according to IU. “I just feel like missing last week just gave me more hunger, more motivation to prove to everybody that I’m here to stay,” Swinton said.

Swinton got back in on the action on special teams for the next drive when junior defensive back Noah Pierre blocked Idaho’s punt.

Swinton recovered the ball

four yards outside the end zone and returned it for another score.

“The plays that he made today, he makes them everyday,” head coach Tom Allen said. “He’s been one of our better receivers since he got here.”

After another long drive resulting in a second touchdown pass from Penix, Idaho went three-and-out and was forced to punt.

Graduate wide receiver D.J. Matthews Jr. had to catch Idaho’s 65-yard punt while running backwards before turning around and taking the ball 81 yards for a touchdown.

“I was definitely feeling it at the end,” Matthews said.

“My legs got tired on me.”

It was the first punt return at Indiana for Matthews, the all-time leader in punt return yards at Florida State University. Saturday was the first time since 1969 where Indiana had two special teams touchdowns in a game.

By the time junior quarterback Jack Tuttle entered the game in the third quarter, Indiana had entered garbage time, trying to run out

the clock and putting its less experienced players on the field.

Tuttle finished the game with 91 yards passing, largely due to a 76-yard touchdown pass to sophomore tight end AJ Barner in the fourth quarter. The catch was the second of Barner’s career after a 2-yard reception against Iowa last week.

Even as the Hoosiers moved to run out the clock, they continued to spread production. Barner blocked a punt, Indiana’s second of the day, after the next Idaho possession.

That drive ended with a 4-yard touchdown rush from junior running back Davion Ervin-Poindexter — the player who recovered the blocked punt.

“We wanna see everybody eating, no matter who’s in the game,” Carr said. “It doesn’t matter if I’m in the game, (Ervin-Poindexter’s) in the game, Chris (Childers).

We just want to see everybody eat.”

Indiana will return to Memorial Stadium to play the No. 7 University of Cincinnati at noon next Saturday.

WOMEN’S SOCCER

Indiana women’s soccer extends winning streak

By Kamil Gut kgut@iu.edu | @GutKamil

Indiana women’s soccer extended its winning streak to four with a 3-0 victory against Kansas State University Sunday night in Manhattan, Kansas. The result pushes Indiana’s record to 6-1-1 overall.

Indiana head coach Erwin van Bennekom said heading into the match Kansas State would be one of his side’s more difficult nonconference opponents, but its inconsistent 4-3-0 record heading into Sunday’s match

suggested otherwise.

The Wildcats had shut out their opponents in all four of their wins, but posted an underwhelming 1-7 combined goal differential in their three losses. The Wildcats finally returned to Buser Family Park on Sunday following a fivematch road trip that concluded with a 2-0 defeat to Purdue.

Junior midfielder Paige Webber, who scored a hat trick in 42 minutes off the bench in Thursday’s 4-0 victory against Murray State University, made Indiana’s starting XI for the first time

this season. Webber wasted no time making the most of her opportunity and taking advantage of Kansas State’s defensive woes.

In the fifth minute, Webber made a run on the far left side of the penalty area and crossed the ball along the grass and into the path of sophomore forward Anna Bennett. Bennett chipped the ball past Kansas State sophomore goalkeeper Alaina Werremeyer for her second goal of the season.

After the win against Murray State, van Bennekom not-

ed that up until they scored deep into the first half, the Hoosiers hadn’t been playing to their offensive standards to start the match. When the whistle blew at the start of the match Sunday, the improvement was obvious.

“We really didn’t give ourselves a chance to grow into the game,” van Bennekom said. “The team did a good job of starting on the front foot and we finished our chances tonight.”

The pace slowed down for the next 20 minutes, but Indiana was still the more threat-

ening side. Kansas State was held to zero shots in the first half compared to Indiana’s nine.

In the 36th minute, junior midfielder Avery Lockwood received the ball just a few yards in front of the halfway line and noticed Werremeyer was high off her line, so she took a chance.

The ball floated over Werremeyer’s head and into the net, giving the Hoosiers a 2-0 lead. The strike was Lockwood’s third goal of the season.

Less than a minute before

the halftime whistle, sophomore forward Jen Blitchok made a short run toward the outside right of the pitch and blasted the ball from more than 30 yards out, which left Werremeyer backpedaling into her own net. Blitchok’s strike to put the Hoosiers up 3-0 was also her third goal of the year.

Indiana refused to allow Kansas State to become comfortable at the start of the second half and as a result, Kansas State had no answers SEE SOCCER, PAGE 11

for its defensive organization, even in transition. The final shot total was 14-7 in Indiana’s favor.

“It’s easy to get comfortable in the second half and stop doing the things we’re always doing,” van Bennekom said. “I’m proud of the team and how professionally we played that out.”

Aside from a few chances off set pieces in the final 20 minutes, the Wildcats weren’t able to threaten the Hoosiers enough to spark a comeback.

Goalkeeper Jamie Gerstenberg made four crucial saves, including a 70th minute stop at point-blank range on a Kansas State corner, to earn Indiana’s sixth clean sheet of the season and third in a row.

It was the first road win of the season in three attempts for the Hoosiers. Their previous results away from home included a 0-0 draw at the University of Notre Dame and a 1-0 defeat at the University of Memphis.

Van Bennekom said the Hoosiers’ approach won’t change much just because they finally came away with

a victory on the road. He said the other road performances showed promising signs despite disappointing results.

“I don’t think it’s different now that we’ve won one,” van Bennekom said. “It can sometimes be easier since there are less distractions — obviously it’s difficult traveling — but it always allows us to approach it as a business trip.”

Van Bennekom said the Hoosiers’ consistency in defense greatly improved over the course of the non-conference half of the schedule, especially when they had a lead to hold on to, but opted

to keep attacking.

“Teams know it’s hard to score coming to play us,” van Bennekom said. “We’ve found the right balance where we’re not getting exposed defensively while also creating more chances. That’s what the best teams do, and I’m not saying we’re there yet, but we’ve gotten much better.”

Indiana will have a week to recover before opening its Big Ten schedule with three straight home matches. Indiana will play Michigan State at 1 p.m Sunday at Bill Armstrong Stadium in Bloomington.
