Over 200 people attended Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations Saturday evening to participate in a celebration revolving around the community, the element of light and mooncakes.

The IU Asian American Association in collaboration with seven other campus organizations organized the event. The festival, which took place at the South Lawn at the Hamilton Lugar School of Global and International Studies, had several booths, each dedicated to a tradition during the festival or an organization and their efforts to raise awareness of Asian culture.

Although the Mid-Autumn Festival is most commonly associated with Chinese folklore and culture, event posters said the

festival is also celebrated in other East Asian cultures, such as Vietnam, Singapore and Taiwan.

Mooncakes in these festivals pay homage to the moon and bright lanterns and the color yellow represents light and good luck during the fall season.

Molly Cai, IU sophomore and AAA social advocacy chair, said she was pleased with the number of organizations willing to collaborate in the association’s first event of the academic year.

She said the AAA’s goal was to provide the IU community with a means of connecting with Asian Pacific cultures and their traditions during this time of year.

“The energy that’s coming from the start of the year is something special,” Cai said.

Catherine Qing, IU senior and Culture of Care member,

said the event was about acknowledging the diversity of Asian culture. She said each country has its own traditions for the festival, and each variation is worth learning about and embracing.

The festival included activities like a dance performance

by K-pop-inspired dance group UNi.SON. Culture of Care had a booth with a matching game focusing on international rituals during the Mid-Autumn Festival with candy prizes. Students interested in learning about the fall season in Kyoto, Japan, visited the Japanese Student Association, which had written fortunes, free matcha ice cream and rice crackers.

'Our Patterns' exhibit highlights marginalized Wylie residents

Indiana State Rep. Matt Pierce, D-Bloomington, criticized the proposed House and congressional maps adopted Monday by the House Elections and Apportionment Committee in the Indiana House of Representatives.

Indiana Republicans unveiled proposed maps Sept. 14. The maps, if approved by the Indiana legislature and Gov. Eric Holcomb, would keep Bloomington in the IN-9 U.S. House district for the next decade.

“Today's adoption of the Indiana House and congressional maps by the House Elections and Apportionment Committee is the first step toward giving Statehouse Republicans an unfair, partisan advantage in upcoming elections,” Pierce said in a press release. “An advantage that will last through 2032.”

Pierce took issue with the proposed IN-5 district, which would make the district a safe Republican seat. The IN-5 was named a tossup election in 2020, and Republicans won the district in 2020 by the smallest margin since the last map went into effect in 2012.

“With 56% of the votes, the Republican gerrymander engineers 77% of the congressional seats for Republicans,” he said. “Most glaring is it takes a 5th District congressional seat that was becoming evermore competitive and converts it into a safe Republican seat.”

Pierce, who is also a lecturer in IU’s Media School, represented the 3rd District on the Bloomington City Council in the late ‘90s before being elected as a state representative in 2002.

“It's not too late for the Republicans to do the right thing and adopt maps that fairly represent all Hoosiers,” he said in the release.

Indiana opens donations for Afghan evacuees

Artfully-crafted patterns, lit by hidden projectors, stretch across the 19th-century wallpaper of the Wylie House Museum. A visitor climbs the groaning steps, their shadow dappling across the projection behind it.

On the floor above, the geometric shapes of light on the wall parallel those on a quilt below – dragging the history of the house into the spotlight.

“Our Patterns, the Orator, the Astrologer and the Poet” is an art exhibit by Natan DiaconFurtado featuring 12 patterns based on the house’s quilt collection. Projected on the walls of the Wylie House Museum, Diacon-Furtado said the patterns represent three of the house’s former residents: Sarah Parke Morrison, Harvey Young and Elizabeth Breckenridge.

While marginalized in their time because of their race or gender, they were written about enough for Diacon-Furtado to explore their lives and personalities through art.

“The only reason we have archives of these folks is because they stayed or worked for a period of time at the Wylie House,” Diacon-Furtado said. “It’s not because Indiana University at the time thought they were important enough to keep records of.”

Diacon-Furtado was originally trained as a cultural anthropologist, but he now works as a collaborative artist and designer. He said he’s worked on collaborative pattern projects before, usually with students, with the goal of establishing a visual language. For this proj-

Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb announced Thursday the Indiana National Guard is accepting donations for Afghan refugees temporarily housed at Camp Atterbury, according to a press release from the Indiana State Government.

Camp Atterbury has served as a temporary shelter for Afghan evacuees since the U.S. withdrew its forces from Afghanistan on Aug. 30. The camp, located 40 miles northeast of Bloomington, began accepting Afghan refugees Sept. 2, according to a report from WFYI. Holcomb said the efforts of Indiana residents donating to the Afghan cause were overwhelming in the press release.

“Hoosiers have overwhelmingly responded to the needs of the Afghan evacuees and asked to help these men, women, children and families as they arrive in the United States,” he said in the press release.

Nine Indiana National Guard armories will act as collection sites for donations. According to the release, donations will be accepted 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, beginning Monday, Sept. 20.

The armories are accepting donations of modest, unbranded clothing for men and women, children’s clothing, powdered baby formula, socks, hats and shoes for all ages. The listed items are of the most need, according to the release.

Donation sites include: • Evansville: 3300 E. Division St. • Greenfield: 410 Apple St. • Rockville: 224 W. Strawberry Road • Danville: 1245 E. Main St. • Muncie: 401 N. Country Club Road • Indianapolis: Kessler-Moore Readiness Center, 2625 W. Kessler Blvd.

North Drive • Fort Wayne: 130 W. Cook Road • South Bend: 1901 Kemble Ave. • New Albany: 2909 Grant Line Road “We are proud to do our part in helping those who have helped the United States and provide an organized collection effort to expedite getting the supplies to those who need them,” Holcomb said in the release.

People gather to view artist Natan Diacon-Furtado's exhibit, “Our Patterns, the Orator, the Astrologer and the Poet” Sept. 17, 2021, at the Wylie House Museum.

The exhibit focused on the history of the Wylie House and highlighted former Wylie House residents Sarah Parke Morrison, Harvey Young and Elizabeth Breckenridge.

ect, he said he wanted to work with an archive to collaborate with people across time, telling their stories as they would have wanted them told.

IU’s Institute of Advanced Study’s funding helped him to accomplish his goal. DiaconFurtado received a Repository Research Fellowship, allowing him to explore the Wylie House’s textile collection. Fellowships were moved online during the COVID-19 pandemic, meaning Diacon-Furtado could dive into the museum’s entire digital archive from his home in New Orleans .

“It’s kind of an amazing feat to have most of your archives completely digital, so that’s what makes it possible,” Diacon-Furtado said.

Diacon-Furtado focused primarily on pioneers forced out of IU during their time.

Sarah Parke Morrison was the

first woman to attend, graduate and teach at IU before male students’ sexist acts, such as refusal to participate in class and slander in a fraternity newspaper, forced her to leave. Harvey Young was the first Black man to attend IU, but he left without a degree to become a schoolteacher. The exception is Elizabeth Breckenridge, a Black woman who lived and worked as a domestic servant at Wylie House for over 50 years, including the time the other two spent at the home.

“People who are the first of whatever to attend a university or an institution or even just people who are otherized in society attending an institution – that’s still happening every day up through today,” DiaconFurtado said.

Andy Hipskind, IU Athletics chief medical officer, died Saturday from cancer at the age of 48.

According to an IU Athletics press release, Hipskind’s time at Indiana started as a member of the cross country and track teams. He graduated in 1995 and then earned his master’s degree from the IU School of Medicine in 1999.

Hipskind returned to Indiana in 2003 as the Director of Sports Medicine and the football team physician.

In 2014, he was named the Senior Assistant Athletic Director for Sports Medicine and Sports Performance as well as Indiana’s first-ever chief medical officer.

Hipskind served as a member of the IU Athletics Medical Advisory Group and COVID-19 Operations Team during the pandemic.

Indiana Athletics renamed the Chief Medical Officer Physician's Office in the IU Athletics Excellence Academy to honor Hipskind on Aug. 10.

"Andy dedicated himself to serving our student athletes and has been the absolute best in his profession," Indiana Athletic Director Scott Dolson said in the release. "He helped our students grow, develop, recover, pursue and fulfill their dreams. He will be deeply and dearly missed."

Hipskind is survived by his wife, Angela, and their two children, Charlize and Drew.

Whitten announces grant to fund IU diversity hiring

By Wei Wang daviwang@iu.edu | @WeiWangDavid23

IU President Pamela Whitten announced a $30 million fund Tuesday to focus on hiring a more diverse community of faculty and researchers.

In her blog Written by Whitten, IU’s first female president announced a seven-year Presidential Diversity Hiring Initiative focused on hiring professors in a broad range of disciplines from underrepresented groups in higher education.

Whitten said IU will fund new faculty positions as part of the initiative with reallocated resources from IU’s non-academic services and external gifts. She said the hirings will fill these new positions in addition to existing open roles.

“Now is the time to provide our students with access to world-class teachers and researchers from multiple perspectives,” she said

in the blog.

The IU Office of the Vice President for Diversity, Equity and Multicultural Affairs will manage the effort, Whitten said.

According to the office’s 2020 annual report, 305 tenured and tenure-track faculty of color worked at IU-Bloomington in 2018, representing less than 23% of the faculty for that year.

IU Board of Trustees chair Quinn Buckner said the university’s commitment to hiring a more diverse faculty will benefit IU and Indiana, according to an IU press release.

“This ambitious initiative sparked by President Whitten will advance a new generation of scholars, and we will all be better for it,” Buckner said in the release.

Since assuming her position, Whitten prioritized increasing the diversity of faculty, staff and students.

IU enrolled 10,853 students of color this year, representing a record 27% of the student body.

Shelters see surrender spike

By Emma Herwehe eherwehe@iu.edu | @EmmaHerwehe

Bloomington Animal Care and Control, which operates the City of Bloomington Animal Shelter, has seen animal surrenders pick up after businesses reopened.

Employees said people are returning adopted pets they can’t take care of now that work and school are back in person.

IU junior Kate Millar began interning at BACC in June. She said the return to real life after the COVID-19 pandemic has proven difficult for pet owners who adopted pets while at home.

“I think a lot of people adopted animals when they were home a lot, and now if they’re going back out they’re not having time for it,” Millar said.

BACC director Virgil Sauder said this is an issue across the country, not just in Bloomington. He said summer months tend to be extremely busy for shelters, as people transition to work and can no longer care for their pets.

“In the summer months, that tends to be the time of the year where we struggle with that the most,” Sauder said. “We always have to work on either getting animals out the door through adoption quicker or working at basically expanding our shelter through the foster program.”

Sauder said for the past five to 10 years, about 50% of the shelter’s intake has come from owner surrenders. Last year was a little slower than normal as a result of the pandemic. This year, the shelter has seen an increase in pet surrenders as people are returning to normalcy.

“This has been an is-

A spot for donations is seen outside of the Monroe County Humane Association on Sept. 16, 2021, which is located at 3410 S. Walnut St. In 2021, the City of Bloomington Animal Shelter has seen an increase in pet surrenders as people are returning to normalcy.

sue every year,” Sauder said.

“This is the normal. Last year was a bit of an abnormal year where we didn’t have a lot of movement locally, so we didn’t have a lot of animals coming in.”

A waitlist is in place to prevent the overcrowding of the shelter from pet surrenders, Sauder said. Owners who wish to give up their pets can sign up for the waiting list, and the shelter will bring in their animals when there is enough space.

IU senior Liz Abbott, volunteer program assistant intern at BACC, said she recommends owners to try to train their dogs before bringing them back to the shelter, especially the dogs adopted

during quarantine that may be acting out from separation anxiety because their owners have returned to work.

BACC has behavioral trainers in place as an alternative to pet surrender to help dogs that may have issues, such as being rowdy and tearing things up, Abbott said.

“People need to know that there are options to train your dog,” he said. “Especially things like crate training can stop them from tearing up your house. There are behavioral trainers who can help you, instead of sending your dog back to the shelter.”

Abbott said the number of animals being surrendered can become a serious prob-

lem, so the waitlists put in place have been a great preventative measure to avoid stress for the owners, workers and the animals.

Abbott said owners like college students need to be ready to take care of their pets for many years into the future when they decide to adopt.

“I think it’s important for people who are considering adopting a pet to consider the long term implications of what they’re doing,” Abbott said. “Dogs can live 15 years, cats can live 20-plus years, so if you’re thinking about adopting a pet while you’re in college, think about where you’ll be in your life 10-, 15plus years from now.”

Grant to fund new technology center Rokita asks Biden

to reverse new vaccine mandate

The U.S. Department of Commerce awarded Bloomington a $3.5 million grant to fund the development and construction of a new technology center in the Trades District, which will be located at Maker Way and North Madison Street.

The three-story building will be roughly 22,000 square feet and will include small and medium tenant office spaces, conference rooms and shared amenities. The building is expected to open in 2024.

Alex Crowley, Bloomington’s director of Economic and Sustainable Development, said the center will be a focal point for the growing tech sector in Bloomington and will provide to developing tech businesses.

Bloomington is projected to create 530 jobs and

generate $51 million in private investment, according to a feasibility study the IU Public Policy Institute conducted.

In addition to the grant, the City of Bloomington will allocate $1.6 million to fund the construction of a new technology center.

Crowley said the technology center would offer a range of services to small tech companies. Crowley said the space will offer businesses a place to collaborate, network and will provide some consulting for businesses who need more expertise.

“Fundamentally what this is all about is changing the Bloomington economy from a traditional manufacturing economy to growing the new economy of technology, life sciences and other sectors that are the strength of the area,” Crowley said.

The city partnered with the Bloomington Economic

Development Corporation to apply for this grant. The BEDC is a nonprofit focusing on fostering growth and quality job opportunities for businesses.

BEDC President Jennifer Pearl said the BEDC will set up a non-profit organization to manage and run the center. Pearl said this center will also promote job opportunities for recent IU graduates.

“It’s great for people who study tech, but they also hire for business positions, for marketing positions and other positions as well,” Pearl said.

Tom Guevara, IU Public Policy Institute director, said an additional 336 indirect and induced jobs are estimated to be created. These jobs wouldn’t be tech-based jobs, but rather jobs in other sectors.

“Every time you create a direct job, usually there’s an indirect and induced effect from that,” Guevara

said. “As a result of supply chains and then having money in our pocket from our jobs to spend at our discretion.”

IU Public Policy Institute helped advise both the city and the BEDC on the grant application as well as the tech center feasibility study.

Guevara said his experience as deputy assistant secretary for the Economic Development Administration gave him the expertise to offer guidance on the grant application and feasibility study, which demonstrates the need for funding and the projected outcomes of the proposed center.

A board of directors will oversee the non-profit and center itself. The board will include Mayor John Hamilton, Pearl and Simran Trana, associate vice president of IU Innovation and Commercialization, among others.

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita joins 23 other state attorney generals to release a letter calling on President Joe Biden to reverse his recent vaccine mandate.

The mandate would require government workers and private contractors to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Private employers with more than 100 employees have to have their employees either be vaccinated or participate in a weekly COVID-19 test.

Refusal would result in an employee’s termination.

Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb has also recently criticized the mandate last Friday for requiring the vaccine, tests or termination.

The attorney generals’ letter criticized Biden’s mandate, saying it will cause people to be skeptical of the vaccine and further push them from wanting to get it.

The letter said the mandate will do more harm than good for Americans, such as taking some citizens out of the job market because they refuse to comply.

“Your plan is disastrous and counterproductive,” the letter said. “From a policy perspective, this edict is unlikely to win hearts

and minds — it will simply drive further skepticism.”

The attorney generals said the mandate is illegal and flawed because of how Biden is proceeding with it. They said there are less intrusive ways to achieve Biden’s goals, and the use of the Occupational Safety and Health Act to issue the mandate is unnecessary.

If Biden does not reverse his plan, the letter said the attorney generals will pursue all legal avenues to stop the mandate.

“We thus urge you to reconsider your unlawful and harmful plan and allow people to make their own decisions,” the letter said.

STEFAN’S STANCE ON IT

Black LGBTQ folk are to thank for modern fashion

By Stefan Townes sztownes@iu.edu | @stefant_

I’ve never cared much for fashion, but every day it seems to make headlines.

Not to say I have any disdain for it — it’s just never been my thing.

This new wave of fashion trends is different. We’re seeing more men wearing skirts and dresses and more women wearing tuxedos and ties.

Clothes have become less gender specific. But before we praise this movement, we have to consider how this trend started.

Clothes have been traditionally gendered, and it seems like something innate to society. A person’s outfit is seemingly a clear indicator of their person. From a glance, you could seemingly guess one’s occupation, whether or not they’re wealthy and, of course, their gender. This doesn’t mean one’s guess is always correct, though.

Clothing being tied to demographics like wealth and occupation is an old practice stemming from the Middle Ages, but slowly we’ve seen aspects of this practice fall from favor. Now, the extremely wealthy don’t necessarily dress adorned in jewels and silks. Billionaire Bill Gates still wears a $10 watch. On the other end of the spectrum, I know plenty of broke college students who wear the latest Air Jordans.

People no longer dress according to their wealth, yet the gendered aspect of fashion can still remain.

Some people still insist men shouldn’t wear pink,

or women shouldn’t wear pantsuits.

One community comes to mind that would disregard these expectations.

Naturally, certain scenes in the LGBTQ community would blur the line, especially with Ball culture. Ball culture essentially describes fashion shows in the LGBTQ community where a model’s gender is irrelevant to their performance. People, mostly Black people and other people of color, would regularly dress in flashy ensembles and try to impress each other with their outfits.

Men would regularly dress as women and vice versa.

While having been around since the 1920s, Ball culture really gained popularity in the 1970s. Aspects of the scene would leak into popular cultures, like “vogueing,” but a few key names really become widely known.

One of the first examples of this androgynous fashion trend to gain widespread popularity was the actress, singer and model Grace Jones in the ‘70s. Most other celebrities at the time would neatly conform into one style of dress, but Jones was decidedly ambiguous and chose to keep her androgynous appearance. This was something that people were attracted to and she later had a very successful career in film and modeling.

Another Black artist who publicly and proudly ignored gender norms in fashion was Prince. He was incredibly popular, both for his inspired and genredefining music that sold

over 100 million records, but also his appearance. He never shied away from garments and colors originally thought to be effeminate and welcomed the attention it gave him. Regardless of appearance, his music was on all the radio stations and, to this day, it’ll be hard to find someone who hasn’t heard a song from him.

More recently, we can trace today’s popularity of androgynous fashion of these trends back to Black people. ASAP Rocky made waves when he made a name for himself being a rapper that rejected popular streetwear in favor of brightly colored robes.

While there were definitely white artists who defied a traditional wardrobe, these Black artists seem to predate, or at least, coincide with them. Their impact can’t be forgotten when we see the new highfashion trends like men wearing headscarves or women wearing tuxedos. In conversations about fashion, there’s more often talk of white artists like David Bowie or Elton John being iconic for effacing gender norms with their outfits but comparatively little praise of Black artists. Even today, white artists like Harry Styles are getting more attention for something Black artists have done for ages.

I think Styles’ fashion choices are great, personally. I applaud anyone and everyone who might feel inspired and follow suit — pun intended, but I hope they TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE don’t forget who started this Prince performs during the 46th Annual Grammy Awards show on Feb. 8, 2004, at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles. trend.

We should embrace plus-sized women, not shame them

By Donyá Collins doscoll@iu.edu | @artbyyay

Thick Thighs Save Lives.

Every Size Is Welcome. Everybody has a beach body.

Slogans like these are implying that society is finally giving plus-sized people the time of day in terms of respect, but are they really?

From people verbally abusing Lizzo to using plussize models as diversity for clout, we have to ask how

ILLUSTRATION BY DONYÁ COLLINS

much do we really care about our plus-sized community?

TikTok has been often accused of being fatphobic in their censoring, commonly accusing influencers of “violating community guidelines.” In the TikTok community guidelines, videos containing dangerous or graphic content, hatred or harm to individuals, sexually explicit activities or harassment will be removed from the platform.

Influencers like Mikayla

Zazon and Sydney Bell, who have 721,000 and 248,000 followers respectively, have said they are victims of this censorship.

Multiple creators like Zazon and Bell have claimed that they have been censored because of their bodies.

“I showed the process of what it looks like finding food freedom and finding a balance in life,” Zazon said to the New York Post. “Our worth isn’t our bodies.”

Black Americans face disadvantages in the housing market

By Jason Mbwa-Mboma jmbwambo@iu.edu

Redlining, which is discrimination in mortgage lending on the basis of race, was banned in 1968 by the Fair Housing Act. Regardless, Black people throughout the United States continue to receive unfair treatment in the housing market.

In particular, Black homeowners across the country are receiving lower appraisals than their white counterparts when they decide to sell their homes or refinance their mortgages.

In Indianapolis, Carlette Duffy had to persistently fight for the appropriate appraisal she deserved after two appraisals on her home returned suspiciously low.

After receiving the second appraisal of $110,000 on her home, which she knew to be worth at least $185,000, Duffy decided to change her approach. She removed family photos from her home, opted to not disclose her race and was not present during the appraisal. Instead, she had a white friend act as her brother to meet the appraiser.

The result was an appraisal of $259,000, which is more than

double the two previous appraisals she received.

“She was at first ecstatic that she did in fact get the value that she thought her home deserved,” Duffy’s spokesperson said. “But then almost immediately after, she was heartbroken with the fact of what she had to do in order to get that value.”

Stephen Richmond, from a suburb of Hartford, Connecticut, shared a similar experience. After questioning the first appraisal he received, Richmond removed family photos and had a white neighbor act as the homeowner when the appraiser arrived. His result was a $40,000 increase in valuation from the first appraisal.

Duffy and Richmond are only two of countless examples of the obstacles Black people in America continue to face in the housing market.

According to a Brookings report on the devaluation of assets in Black neighborhoods, a home in a majority Black neighborhood is likely to be valued 23% less than an effectively identical home in a majority-white neighborhood.

This disparity is even larger between formerly redlined

communities and historically white communities. In Fulton County Georgia, there is a 67% difference between home prices in white communities and previously redlined communities. These obstacles Black people face are estimated to have cost Black homeowners $156 billion in cumulative losses.

In Richmond’s case, his race affected his appraisal regardless of his neighborhood. This is a product of an appraisal industry that operates with very little oversight and is inherently subjective.

There are limited checks on the work an appraiser does and virtually no recourse for someone like Duffy, who knows her home is being undervalued.

NBC News said the industry also lacks diversity, since more than 85% of appraisers are white, and less than 2% of appraisers are Black. While there is legislation, such as Title XI of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act, which requires appraisers to be unbiased, history and the lack of oversight allows Black homeowners to continuously be disadvantaged over 50 years after redlining was banned.

Zazon started the #NormalizeNormalBodies movement on social media. Despite her accepting message and brand, she noticed Tik Tok was flagging her videos most when she was in bathing suits or sports bras and removing them based on a supposed violation of the community guidelines.

According to the internal documents the Intercept obtained, TikTok allegedly instructed moderators to suppress users’ posts they deem too ugly, poor or disabled for the platform.

Bell was temporarily banned from TikTok for allegedly violating too many community guidelines. She commonly shows in her videos the fatphobic comments people send her on the internet.

She receives comments such as, “Normalizing obesity is neither cute nor high fashion,” or “Stop using body worth as an excuse to not being healthy. Workout.” These

comments are examples of what influencers like Bell have to deal with.

Natural bodies should not be ridiculed so harshly or dismissed because someone gains fame.

Why does Instagram have a quicker and stronger reaction for a plus-sized model wearing a bikini or posting a bare female nipple than they do about hate comments that spew racist or harmful rhetoric?

People criticized Lizzo for crying about hate comments after the release of her song, “Rumors,” and said she seemingly contradicted herself and her “IDGAF” attitude. Lizzo explained on her Instagram Live most of the comments she received were fatphobic and racist.

Let’s clarify something. A desire to be famous or wellknown does not invite others nor give them the right to directly insult you. There is a difference between criticism and a hate comment.

When you take into account the current trend of saying anything because you’re online and that millions of people are constantly commenting terrible things you’re allowed to get upset.

People are allowed to have feelings.

Even though Lizzo is famous, she should not have to deal with hate comments.

Her feelings are valid. It’s similar to telling a woman that because she dresses skimpily she’s allowed to be sexually assaulted.

Personally, I think society believes Black women can’t seem to do anything right.

They can’t be too skinny, too big or too tall. They can’t have plastic surgery or wear a bonnet in public. Everyone is making rules for Black women except for Black women.

Despite society constantly saying the opposite, plus-size women are not valued and are expected to be discreetly ashamed of their bodies, especially if they’re Black.

Poem: ‘What I should’ve been’

You look different.

I know it’s you but when did that become your face?

I mean, don’t misunderstand me, I like it.

But I cannot erase the image of what I once thought you looked like, so every time, I am jarred, you know, surprised.

Let me tell you what everyone thought you’d look like.

Steady eyes, open lips ready to laugh and feet that can’t be shifted and a head that can’t be

turned.

Steadfast. Controlled.

Let me tell you what I thought you’d look like.

Tranquil eyes and dark red lips and a hard tongue that knows exactly what to say, hands that know exactly what to do.

And you’d be just like that always.

Easy. Unshakeable.

So I am surprised every time that I see who you are.

You look like this.

Searching eyes and moving lips that say exactly what you mean and shoulders that will

never be hunched again and hips that move front to back, side to side, and around.

And man, when that song comes on, you, baby girl, can’t help yourself.

And here you are clawing for freedom again, refusing again, determining again.

Rabid ass don’t like to sit down.

That little shy thing you used to be would never believe it.

And godamn it! She’d smile knowing reality can be just as wild as the imagination.

faced, and the space we create for firsts in our present day, Diacon-Furtado said.

Exhibit attendee Lucas Beam participated in a guest class Diacon-Furtado taught on Tuesday where the artist spoke about letting creativity flow and conveying meaning through art. Walking through the Wylie House, he called the art beautiful and agrees these stories need to be told.

“It’s Natan really trying to show the history of people who are frequently forgotten by continuing these conversations and understanding all the firsts that

are happening and how many people Indiana University has silenced, maybe not even intentionally,” Beam said.

The Wylie House Museum wants to share these stories widely, said Carey Champion, associate librarian and director of the museum.

“I hope that, through Natan’s art, they get a sense of these three people who passed through the home and an understanding that Wylie House Museum wants to be sharing those stories of people who are more marginalized and lesser known,” Champion said.

Hannah Nguyen, IU senior and the president of the Lotus Interest Group, said recruitment was minimal during the pandemic.

“With this in person, it’s been a lot more exciting and really nice to socialize and find our place at home again,” Nguyen said.

IU sophomore Kara Yang said she was glad to be a part of the inperson culture festival and felt like her time at university restarted in a nice way.

The Lotus Interest Group, a greek student organization, conducted a lucky star origami session.

In between BTS’s “IDOL” and other songs, many students made lucky stars to exchange with friends and for keepsakes.

Celine Wang, IU junior and Lotus Interest Group vice president, said the group has members of several ethnicities and, since the practice of making lucky stars is performed in several cultures, the activity reflected the group’s diversity.

She said she and other members considered other booths’ crafts but decided to only make stars because of the night the festival took place.

“We grew up hearing stories of Chang’e, the lady of the moon, and since it’s going to be a full moon, we will do stars to accompany the sky,” Wang said.

CLEAR CUT

You’re allowed to have a mid-college crisis Chris Sciortino (he/him) is a junior studying theater and public relations.

My life felt like it was crumbling. I thought I had prepared so well for college.

How could I feel so lost?

I was awake all night pondering job possibilities, analyzing my last few years at IU and searching for potential cities to live in post graduation. The transition into junior year had shaken me.

Advising meetings for graduation and recommendations to visit the career center sent me in a frenzy. I couldn’t help but feel completely lost in uncertainty.

Little did I know that this was an experience widely felt by most college students.

Instead of a midlife crisis, a mid-college crisis involving test scores, credit hours and commencement takes over at the quarter-life mark, according to a USA Today article. It was hard to admit to myself, but your college years are some of the most intense times of your life.

You’re allowed to let your life fall apart and build it back up again.

A few weeks ago, I realized that my life was not at all what I thought it would be going into my junior year of college. Leaving home after a summer full of family and friends was hard, and within my first few weeks of class, I was rocked by heavy course loads, continuous sickness, a breakup and several conversations about what I wanted my future to be.

It all came to a breaking point when my career ad-

ILLUSTRATION BY LAWREN ELDERKIN | IDS

visor asked, “What do you want to do with your life?”

How could I answer questions about the future when I couldn’t even recognize the life I was currently living?

This was the start of my continuous mid-college crisis. I define it as a seemingly cataclysmic shift of priorities caused by a drive to make a dramatic life change. In college, this could be caused by stress from studies, social anxiety and a drive to live up to expectations set by anyone from friends and family to academic advisors.

For me, there were only two things I knew: I did not

know what I was doing with my life, and I had no idea how to fix it.

People told me to get involved and stay distracted from this newfound helplessness when I asked for advice. I joined new clubs, moved the furniture around in my room, decided to try meal prepping, introduced myself to everybody I could in class, moved my furniture back to its original position, all in hopes to stay distracted and save face.

But through all the busy work, I found no relief. Then one night, I realized I needed to let everything come crash-

ing down before I found a way out of the chaos.

It seemed like the best idea I’d had in a while, so I jumped in headfirst.

Step one was processing internal emotions. Any conversation about the future is bound to stir up anxiety, and taking time to process how you’re feeling is rarely covered in the career exploration process. For a balanced life, though, it’s essential to balance mental health with career achievement. In 2018, 29.5% of college students surveyed by Statista said they felt “overwhelming anxiety in the past two

weeks.”

On top of that, the Mayo Clinic describes a specific phenomenon called college depression.

Adjustments to living with roommates, complicated schedules and entering a new social environment can trigger and highlight depression in college students.

As someone who has struggled with mental illness throughout my life, I can attest that college can drain your mental health in ways you have never experienced before, and mine was declining as I moved into this school year. Because of this,

I got in touch with my therapist, and we took time to process my emotions, reflect on my feelings and identify what work I could do to pick myself up and move forward.

Through those tough conversations, I was able to unlock a new interest in public relations and marketing. After a few days, I adjusted my majors and found a group of courses that I was genuinely interested in and felt motivated to attend. I took the time to reinvest in my friends, drop down a few credit hours and prioritize my well-being over packed schedules.

It’s only been a few weeks, but I don’t feel waves of uncertainty anymore. After letting everything collapse around me, I gained a new insight into my goals for the rest of college and beyond, and I feel much more confident moving through this hectic year.

To those of you who have had a similar college crisis, it’s OK. Give yourself grace.

You are not alone. I encourage you to feel everything you’re feeling. Reach out for support when you need it and find out what you can do to get back on track. It’s one step at a time, and your happiness is most important.

Even though there’s unrelenting pressure to keep it together, sometimes you just need to let things fall apart.

Once you do, chances are you’ll know an even better way to put the pieces back together. csciorti@iu.edu

ALLYSON’S ANGLE

NOAH’S NICHE

One party shouldn’t draw the maps for the next decade

Wages must rise or businesses won’t find workers

Allyson McBride (she/her) is a senior studying English and political science.

The Indiana General Assembly announced the proposed U.S. House of Representatives and Indiana State House of Representatives districts on Sept. 14. Unsurprisingly, the new district lines are expected to benefit the Indiana GOP. Indiana Republicans, who have a supermajority in the Statehouse, completely controlled the redistricting process. The new maps could determine election results for the next decade and should not be in the hands of one party.

Where district lines are drawn will decide how accurately Hoosiers are represented in the state and federal government. With the proposed maps, Republicans would likely win 69 out of 100 Indiana House seats, despite typically receiving 56% of the vote, according to voting rights group Women4Change.

State Rep. Greg Steuerwald, R-Avon, said to the Times of Northwestern Indiana that he as well as state House Speaker Todd Huston, R-Fishers, and state Rep. Tim Wesco, R-Osceola, chairman of the House Elections Committee, were primarily responsible for drawing the new maps.

The non-partisan Legislative Services Agency reformatted census data for the representatives and the

House Republican Campaign Committee consulted on the proposed maps. Indiana House Republicans also hired national GOP redistricting attorney Jason Torchinsky for legal advice.

Torchinsky and his firm have defended GOP-drawn maps from around the country and opposed independent redistricting commissions in court, according to an NPR article.

“We wanted to have maps that honored the goals and what we were trying to accomplish,” Huston told WKLY News. “People are going to think what they want to think.”

Maybe some Hoosiers wouldn’t think redistricting was unfair if bipartisan or independent commissions drew the maps, or if Republican representatives were more transparent about the process. It’s not a big leap to imagine a partisan process would have a partisan outcome.

“I think that while geography or other factors could explain part of these biases, these are so extreme that really nothing but politically intentional gerrymandering could really explain the extent of the bias in these maps,” Christopher Warshaw, George Washington University associate professor of political science, said to the Associated Press.

Warshaw said in the article the new maps consolidate Democratic areas into a

handful of districts, making the remaining districts much less competitive.

The finalized U.S. and Statehouse maps were released Sept. 14, and two opportunities for public feedback were scheduled during the following two days.

The need for a quick turnaround is understandable because waiting for census data has delayed the redistricting process. However, having public comments the day after the maps were released did not give Hoosiers a reasonable amount of time to analyze the maps and prepare testimonials. Even waiting just a few more days would have helped.

Transparency and public involvement has not been a priority for redistricting.

Can skeptics be blamed for assuming the Indiana GOP isn’t handling the process fairly?

All Hoosiers deserve to be represented equitably, and we should have districts and a redistricting process reflecting that value.

You can still share your testimony by emailing the chair of the House Committee on Elections and Apportionment or contacting your representative.

The initial maps for the new senate districts are expected to be released Sept.

21. There will be a public meeting of the Senate Committee on elections Sept. 27. allymcbr@iu.edu

Noah Moore (he/him) is a junior studying psychology, theater and drama and international studies.

Despite the COVID-19 pandemic continuing, most of society is resuming inperson activities and events.

However, many businesses are still suffering the effects of the pandemic, especially when finding employees.

Here in Bloomington, many beloved small businesses closed their doors this past year due to financial troubles. Darn Good Soup, Bloomington Sandwich Company and Laughing Planet are just a few of these notable institutions.

Businesses across the nation, particularly those that are local, are also struggling to find employees.

They should consider raising wages.

There’s not a lot that will incentivize people to work more than paying them better. Isn’t that the point of a job anyways?

Legislation to raise the minimum wage hasn’t been passed since a 2007 bill incrementally raised it from 2007-2009. This is the longest time since its inception in 1938 that the minimum wage hasn’t been raised.

I was in first grade when the U.S. Congress last raised the minimum wage. Apple had just announced the first iPhone. My now-14-yearold brother, Colin, hadn’t

been born yet. The beloved show iCarly hadn’t yet aired a single episode.

The minimum wage has remained stagnant and its purchasing power has decreased 21% since 2009 due to inflation. Our current federal $7.25 minimum wage is worth the equivalent of $5.49 in 2007 when accounting for inflation.

Even though national talks of raising the minimum wage have stalled, Indiana can still take initiative. Indiana is one of the 21 American states that doesn’t have a minimum wage higher than the federal minimum wage. It’s time to change that.

A living wage in Bloomington for a childless adult is $13.77. That’s a lot closer to the $15 minimum wage pushed by politicians like Democratic Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez than Indiana’s current minimum wage.

“The labor market recovery in Indiana with respect to the rest of the country has been slightly stronger given the fact that it doesn’t depend quite as extensively on leisure and hospitality sectors,” said professor R. Andrew Butters of the IU Business Economics and Public Policy Department.

It’s likely, eventually, the labor market will look more like what we remember prepandemic, but it’s unclear

when or how well it will recover, Butters added.

“The thing I’m keying in on the most is the labor force participation rate and what gets individuals moving from simply not looking for work to looking,” Butters said.

The labor force participation rate currently sits at 61.7% nationally, compared to 63.3% in February 2020.

It’s been stagnant for a year, but during a pandemic, it makes sense why some wouldn’t feel safe working.

With the eviction moratorium and pandemic federal unemployment benefits both ending this month, we’re likely to see some people return to work. But, it probably still won’t reflect pre-pandemic numbers.

So how do small business owners incentivize workers to return, especially as some prospective employees may be seeking work that limits face-to-face exposure?

Raising wages is one of the best ways to do that.

Jeff Mease, owner of local businesses Pizza X, Hive and Lennie’s Brewpub, announced in a Facebook post Sept. 6th that he will raise the base wage to $12 for all his businesses.

It’s too early to say whether this will increase employment, but either way, it’s a great idea and more businesses should follow suit. noemoore@iu.edu

Artists adjust to loosening COVID-19 restrictions nities to play at indoor venues, Manic Pixie is opting to keep performing at Open Air Venues on IU’s campus.

“IU has been really great so far about giving performances a space,” Manic Pixie lead singer and IU junior Maggie Zielinksi said.

Like the music scene, art galleries in Bloomington also have to adjust as COVID-19 restrictions change and no longer limit the number of visitors in exhibits.

Pictura Gallery owner and Bloomington Gallery Walk chair Martha Moore said she is grateful for Monroe County requiring masks indoor public spaces and encouraging the community to get vaccinated.

During the height of the pandemic, Pictura Gallery and other Gallery Walk participants organized virtual events, such as exhibit openings and artist talks on Zoom.

Since people started getting vaccinated and COVID-19 cases decreased, the galleries have reopened and events are in person again.

“The biggest issue is that the public is still hesitant,” Moore said. “At the galleries, like any business, sales are down and attendance is down.”

Pictura Gallery is taking extra steps to ensure its spaces are safe and welcoming. Moore said this includes opening the patio doors, allowing visitors to enjoy food and drink and installing new

With the recent loosening of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, the once-dormant Bloomington arts community is eager to open back up to patrons.

In the spring, IU announced the fall semester would return to mostly in person classes and mandated the COVID-19 vaccine for all students and faculty. In August, Monroe County unanimously passed an indoor mask mandate in response to the delta variant and rising COVID-19 cases. These ever-changing rules and restrictions forced the Bloomington arts scene, from musical groups to art galleries, to adapt.

Local Bloomington band Manic Pixie got their start during the summer of 2020, so they were not able to do traditional venue shows. Instead, the band performed virtually or in person for their families and friends.

Manic Pixie guitarist and IU junior Grace Kryder-Reid said safety is at the forefront of the band’s decisions, but they have been able to play bigger venues as restrictions and protocols have changed. The band opened for Charli XCX at the Welcome Week Block Party, which required that attendees were vaccinated and the band was distanced from the crowd on stage.

While they have opportu-

air filtration systems.

With the uncertainty of the COVID-19 delta variant effects, Moore said she fears more restrictions may be put on art organizations if vaccinations are not adopted faster and people do not follow mask mandates.

Moore fears that because of Zoom fatigue, the exhaustion that comes from events held virtually on platforms like Zoom, community support for artists will diminish if events become virtual again.

This will make it challenging for artists to sell their work.

“We are open, we are following the protocols, we are hoping that you will come out and see our new shows,” Moore said. “The bottomline message: please come out and support these artists.”

Lil Nas X details queer experience in debut album ‘MONTERO’

By Erin Stafford ecstaffo@iu.edu

Lil Nas X’s debut album “MONTERO,” which was released Sept. 17, defies the boundaries of hip-hop’s heteronormative narrative through an electrifying and deeply personal expression of sexuality.

The long-awaited music drop came after a tumultuous few years for the Atlanta native after rising to fame when his country-meets-hip-hop single “Old Town Road” went viral on TikTok. Instead of becoming a one-hit wonder, Lil Nas X, or Montero Lamar Hill, came out as gay and now reigns as a queer symbol in popular culture by using his muscial talent to discuss topics like relationships and fame.

Before listening to “MONTERO,'' I expected Lil Nas X to create a chart-topping but dull and lack-luster album with the same pop sound as melodic hip-hop that has exhausted the internet recently. I was pleasantly surprised, though, as I came to find out that Hill is not a product of his industry, but someone hell-bent on crossing over genres to speak on emotional depth and the LGBTQ experience.

Lil Nas X is no stranger to mixing pop with rock influences throughout his discography.

The same is true for “MONTERO,” where Hill switches between these genres in a fluid motion to express himself.

Title song “MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)” was released earlier this year and delivers a sultry, decadent

melody to lyrics that embrace the freedom to lust after someone you want when you’ve had to hide your feelings in the past.

The song produces a fun, yet intense feeling. The fitting song title drew inspiration from the 2017 film “Call Me By Your Name” about two men in love in Italy, flirting for an entire summer before embarking on a heart-wrenching love affair.

The subsequent music video also demonstrates how comfortable Hill is in his sexuality, using the video to criticize Christianity’s homophobic views.

“MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)” serves as track one on the full-length album and sets the tone for the journey that Lil Nas X takes listeners on to learn about the depths of fame, loneliness and being an openly gay Black man.

The first half of the album is upbeat, hyper and lucid.

Tracks like “INDUSTRY BABY” and “THATS WHAT I WANT” display the self-acceptance Lil Nas X has finally given himself after years of struggling with his sexual orientation.

Lil Nas X also utilizes his new sense of confidence on his track “DEAD RIGHT NOW” to respond to those who didn’t always support him, but now show him fake admiration as he is bathing in fame and all its riches. This song is brilliant in its use of trap beats and horns to invoke a sense of empowerment and knowing your worth.

The song lets listeners know

that if Lil Nas X doesn’t care about two-faced people, then you shouldn’t either.

Later track “SCOOP” reflects on the positive state Hill is in as he works hard to become a better version of himself. With string synths, the song is absolutely addictive.

As the album progresses, listeners are made privy to Lil Nas X’s darkest secrets and innermost struggles as he grapples with feelings of loneliness and heartbreak.

The somber sounds and slower beats of the album’s second half are complementary to these problems that Hill faces.

The latter half uniquely comforts anyone who might be going through the same thing.

“LOST IN THE CITADEL” paints the feelings of heartbreak over an extremely emotional pop rock melody that made me feel like I, too, was in the midst of relationship angst.

Lil Nas X’s ability to capture the most relatable emotions and turn them into something profound is so special in a time when originality is hard to come by.

The final tracks on “MONTERO” might be the most tantalizing, however, because Hill showcases an immense amount of vulnerability on tracks like “VOID” and “LIFE AFTER SALEM,” where chilling falsettos and raw lyrics detail the lack of love he feels in his personal life.

If Lil Nas X wanted listeners to take away anything from his debut album, it is that everyone should know they are accepted, loved and worthy.

Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is an 8 — Take care of business. Slow to avoid risk or accidents. Discover a structural problem. Review data and reinforce structural supports. Simplify to reduce expenses.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Today is a 6 — Slow to review the situation. Clarify your direction.

Revise plans. Avoid risk. Adapt to recent events. Prioritize practicalities. Savor favorite routines and rituals.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is an 8 — Professional matters have your attention. Take on more responsibility. Keep your cool. Shift to adapt with a surprise.

Determination works. Handle the basics first.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is an 8 — Patiently reinforce the basics with a personal project.

Unexpected circumstances shift your perspective. It could get messy. Adapt now and clean up later.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Today is a 9 — Adjust social plans for recent changes. Follow rules and agreements carefully. Talk things over. Clean messes with your team. Better safe than sorry.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is a 7 — Your studies and research reveal hidden dirt. Discover unpleasant surprises. Avoid risk or dangerous propositions. Don’t rush into anything. Reschedule and revise.

The CDC eviction moratorium ended last month.

What happens next in Bloomington? tance, which can pay up to 12 months of rent. Since it can take up to 45 days to get the money to your landlord, it is important to apply as early as possible. Landlords can also complete the application to pay for what their tenants owe them.

As of Aug. 30, the Indiana Emergency Rental Assistance program has assisted 350 Monroe County households since the beginning of the program in March 2021, according to the program’s most recent weekly report.

The aid has amounted to more than $3.7 million.

Radewan said maintain-

ing communication between tenants and landlords about the status of rental assistance and the situation in general can help prevent evictions from being filed in the first place.

For help completing the emergency rental assistance application, people can call 211 or see their township trustee.

Community members who are interested in helping those going through an eviction can volunteer to be a mediator through the Community Justice and Mediation Program, which partners with HEPP.

Monroe County eviction filings have surpassed average three times in the past 17 months Two of those times were during the CDC moratorium.

How did the eviction moratoria affect the process?

The first moratorium to take effect in Indiana during the pandemic was the state’s moratorium from March 19

The CDC moratorium has ended. What happens now?

The short answer: it’s too soon to tell, according to Stafford.

“That’s the million dollar question,” Stafford said.

“My gut tells me we will see an upward trend in evictions. I don’t know if it will be a flood or a deluge or a slight increase, but my guess would be that we will have an increase.”

The Monroe County Circuit Court Board of Judges is working on implementing an eviction diversion program.

The Indiana Office of Court Services halted the first plan they tried to implement, so the board of judges has gone back to the drawing board.

Radewan said she expects to see an uptick in eviction cases filed because some landlords were wait-

ing to file for an eviction until after the CDC moratorium ended. However, Radewan said most landlords who wanted to file for eviction had already been filing new cases, so she doesn’t expect to see a flood of eviction filings now that the CDC moratorium has ended.

However, she expects to see more court activity since cases with hearings that were delayed or contested due to the moratorium can now move forward.

Stafford and Radewan both urge tenants facing eviction to apply or reapply for emergency rental assis-

Mar. 2020

How does eviction work?

The first hearing in an eviction case is a possessory hearing, which determines who has the right to possession of the unit or to determine whether the tenant has to move out. Sixty days later, a damages hearing determines how much money is owed, which could include the monetary amount of necessary repairs or back rent. At this point, the eviction process is over.

In Monroe County, a community organization called the Housing and Eviction Prevention Project offers free legal advice, mediation and social service referrals for self-represented tenants and landlords who are going through the eviction process.

HEPP Project Coordinator Tonda Radewan described the group’s structure as a three-legged stool including attorneys, mediators and housing and social services referrers.

When people come into their hearings, HEPP attorneys are available to provide brief legal advice. Consultations used to be in person, but since court proceedings have been virtual during the pandemic, they are now in a private Zoom breakout room.

If both parties consent, the tenant and landlord are then paired with a team of mediators in another private breakout room to attempt to come to an agreement.

For example, the tenant and landlord could agree a voluntary move out with more time to find new housing or a manageable payment plan for a tenant who owes back rent or damages. Most landlords see eviction as a last resort, and mediation has been effective, Monroe County Circuit Court Judge Catherine Stafford said.

Upon conclusion of the hearing, Radewan meets with the tenant to refer them to any housing and social services they are eligible for.

to Aug. 14, 2020, barring all evictions for not paying rent.

Evictions could still proceed for other reasons, including unauthorized occupants or safety issues.

Soon after the Indiana moratorium expired, the CDC imposed its own eviction moratorium Sept. 4, 2020. It was extended multiple times but ended Aug. 26 when the U.S. Supreme Court blocked it, ruling the CDC had exceeded its authority. Indiana has not had a state-level moratorium since the first ended in August.

Unlike the statewide moratorium, which applied to all tenants automatically, tenants had to fill out and send CDC declarations to their landlords, Stafford explained. To qualify for the CDC moratorium, tenants had to meet income qualifications and live in a community which faced substantial or high COVID-19 spread.

In many cases, Radewan said tenants did not know how to file a CDC declaration or even that they could until HEPP attorneys advised them at their hearing.

“The CDC moratorium was not a bar on filing for an eviction— it was a bar on granting an eviction if the tenant opted into the program,” Stafford said.

This is part of why the number of eviction filings rose closer to those in an average year. In the charts below, the bars show the number of eviction filings by month in 2020, while the lines show pre-pandemic averages.

Stafford said the moratoria affected both tenants and landlords. They helped tenants maintain their housing, but they also affected the ability of landlords to pay their own mortgages and stay in business.

“It’s a tough situation for all parties,” Stafford said.

Mar. 2020

Due to the intense economic hardship of the COVID-19 pandemic, individual states and later the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention imposed eviction moratoria. According to the CDC, the pandemic could be exacerbated by homelessness and overcrowded shelters, which was the public health reason for instating the temporary prohibitions on eviction.

Many renters in the U.S. needed the help after losing their source of income. According to the Congressional Research Service, the unemployment rate reached 14.8% in April 2020, the highest rate observed since data collection began, and remains above pre-pandemic levels.

The number of households reporting difficulty paying for expenses such as rent and food also remains higher than pre-pandemic levels, even as unemployment rates improve, according to the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities.

But evictions didn’t stop during the moratoria, and the pandemic hasn’t stopped now that the CDC moratorium has.

The Eviction Lab, a group of researchers who have collected eviction data across the U.S., has published what they say is the first dataset of evictions in America. According to its data, the number of eviction filings in Indiana dropped to over 90% below average from April through July 2020, but more than 2,000 households still faced eviction during that period.

When the state moratorium ended in August 2020, the number of eviction filings rose. That number remained closer to, and sometimes surpassed, prepandemic averages of eviction filings during the CDC moratorium.

Other than a spike in January 2021, Monroe County eviction filings have broadly followed statewide trends.

Monroe County’s rental market differs from other markets in the region, according to a City of Bloomington housing study. Because of IU, more homes in Bloomington are occupied by renters compared to nonuniversity communities.

The large and growing student population drives up rental prices, according to the City of Bloomington.

According to the IndyStar, the average rent in Bloomington is the highest in the state at $894. In Indianapolis, the average rent is $738, and in Indiana’s other college town with a large number of student renters — Lafayette, Indiana — the average rent is $789.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development classifies households who pay more than 30% of their income on rent as cost burdened. In 2019, more than 60% of Bloomington renters were cost burdened. Excluding students, 47% of renters were cost burdened, according to the Bloomington Affordable Living Committee.

So, how did evictions keep happening even during multiple moratoria designed to prevent them? And what happens now that the CDC moratorium has ended?

FIELD HOCKEY

Indiana field hockey splits weekend matches against Iowa, Richmond

By Tyler Vaundry tvaundry@iu.edu | @ty23_vaundry

In its pair of weekend matches, Indiana field hockey bounced back after a loss against No. 2 Iowa on Friday and pulled out a win over the University of Richmond on Sept. 19.

Indiana’s match against Iowa marked the first of a three-game home stand.

Iowa came into the contest ranked second to only Michigan in goals per game and points per game.

The Hoosiers looked to slow the red hot Hawkeyes, and found success in the first period. The Hoosiers held the Hawkeyes to one penalty corner and the game was scoreless through the first 15 minutes.

Head coach Kayla Bashore said Indiana’s focus on its defensive structure and intensity defending the goal were keys to holding such an offensively skilled team scoreless through the first period of play.

However, Indiana’s defense wasn’t able to keep Iowa off the board much longer.

In the 18th minute, Indiana freshman goalkeeper Arabella Loveridge made a diving save, but the rebound fell in the lap of Iowa senior midfielder Ellie Holley who tapped in the opening goal.

Iowa’s offense would not stop there. Iowa would pour in seven shots in the second period, and just before halftime it added another goal to extend its halftime lead to two goals.

The Hoosiers were held to only one shot at the break as the Hawkeyes dominated the time of possession.

The Hawkeyes controlled the tempo of the game and made it hard for the Hoosiers to find any crack in their defense.

The third period displayed the elite defensive play of each team as both were held scoreless.

The Hoosiers earned three consecutive penalty corners in a span of just 40 seconds in the fourth period. All three shots were taken by freshman defender Yip van Wonderen and all were saved by the Hawkeye’s senior goalkeeper Grace McGuire.

Bashore said the Hoosiers’ inability to capitalize on their corners was the reason for their loss.

“I think it’s the lapse of certain key moments for us and they’re (Iowa) very opportunistic,” Bashore said.

“They are a very good team and take advantage of the opportunities they are given.”

That would be the final push from the Hoosiers, as

the Hawkeyes were able to control the ball and make a third goal to put the Hoosiers away.

Iowa improved to 7-0 with the win, and the loss for Indiana marked its second straight after losing their previous game against

the No. 6 University of Louisville.

The Hoosiers would have a chance to redeem themselves against Richmond on Sept. 19. Richmond entered the game with a 0-5 record, but the Hoosiers did not see them as pushovers.

“Richmond is a really tough team, and we knew going in it was going to be a battle,” Keld said.

Richmond, eager to get its first win of the season, came out and fought hard against Indiana. Both teams were scoreless through the first half and Indiana was held to a total of three shots.

Indiana’s defense was on par as well, led by freshman goalkeeper Arabella Loveridge. Coming off a careerhigh six saves against Iowa, Loveridge was able to fend off two more in the first half against Richmond.

Bashorte was not worried about the slow start, as she wanted her team to remain patient.

“We got to continue what we are doing (on offense), we don’t need to change anything because we are still getting those opportunities, we just have to do a better job finishing,” Bashore said.

Those opportunities would come for the Hoosiers in the second half.

In the third period, the flood gates opened. They rattled off nine shots on goal and had seven penalty corners. The Hoosiers were poised for a goal, but great goalkeeping by the Spiders kept the game even at zero.

Entering the fourth period, Indiana maintained

its offensive dominance and earned another seven penalty corners. However, Richmond continued to deny Indiana’s scoring chances. It wasn’t until the 16th penalty corner when Indiana finally broke through.

Sophomore back Sydney Keld scored off a goalie deflection from a penalty corner from freshman midfielder Sofia Arrebola Garcia. Keld said her team’s persistence in the second half finally paid off after three scoreless periods.

“It definitely got a little hectic,” Keld said. “We just needed to get our composure, so we just got together and talked it through and were able to put the ball in the goal.”

After the win Sunday against Richmond, Bashore said she was impressed with her team’s grittiness and patience on the offensive end to continue seeking penalty corners. Indiana held the shot advantage over Richmond 22-5 and earned 14 more penalty corners.

The Hoosiers were able to hang on the rest of the game and secure a 1-0 victory.They improved to 5-3 with the win.

Indiana looks to knock off the University of Maryland in their Big Ten opener at noon Sept. 24 at the IU Field Hockey Complex in Bloomington.

Indiana volleyball wins first match, drops last two at Indiana Invitational

By Ruth Cronin rmcronin@iu.edu | RuthCronin6

Indiana volleyball returned to Wilkinson Hall for the first time this season Sept. 16 and Sept. 17 and played three straight-set matches at the Indiana Invitational.

Indiana beat Alabama A&M University and lost to Chicago State University and

the University of Mississippi.

In their first game on Sept. 16, the Hoosiers started off strong, defeating the Bulldogs in three sets with scores of 25-8, 25-12 and 25-17. Senior outside hitter Breana Edwards made the 1,000th kill of her career during the match.

After a strong start to the tournament on Sept. 16, Indiana lost to Chicago State

on Sept. 17 in straight sets with scores of 25-21, 28-26 and 25-23. Indiana battled in all three sets, tying the score several times, but failed to take the lead.

“I think teams that are winning have a tendency to play with confidence and find a way to win,” Aird said. ”Teams that are struggling, especially from 20 on, have a hard time closing out games.”

CREAM, CRIMSON OR CANDY STRIPES?

Sept. 17 Indiana faced Ole Miss, who came in with a 10-0 record after beating Alabama A&M in a three-set match that afternoon. Indiana lost to Ole Miss in another three set match with scores of 25-22, 25-22 and 26-24.

Aird said it was disappointing to lose by only eight points overall, but that the team put up a better fight

than it did that morning.

“I thought we had a particularly bad night serving and that was really the story,” Aird said. “It’s something we’ll get back in the gym and start to think about more on Monday. It’s especially disappointing in your home gym, you should be able to serve the ball better than the other team. I think part of it was mental, so that was

rough.”

Coming into the tournament after losing three matches at the Georgia Tech Classic last weekend, head coach Steve Aird said he was ready to play at home in a fun environment. The student section showed up with a costume theme, and Aird said he was pleased by the atmosphere SEE VOLLEYBALL, PAGE 9

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8 and attendance both nights of the tournament.

Aird said Indiana trained hard with challenging practices after returning from Georgia, including spending some time in the mud, working on each player’s weaknesses from the weekend prior.

“As a player it’s tough — you want to do the things you’re comfortable with,” Aird said. “But as the coach, you like to put them in situations that aren’t exactly fun.”

Junior middle blocker Kaley Rammelsberg rested since Sept. 13 due to an injury but was back on the court in the Ole Miss match. However, outside hitter Kari Zumach still was unable to play this weekend with an ankle injury.

“Those two players on the court change the dynamic of the team completely because they’re upperclassmen who have played the game and they’re both solid,” Aird said. “I think once we get the full team together and we get rolling, we’ll have a little more confidence.”

Indiana fell to 6-6 this season after posting a 1-2 record this weekend. Indiana will play Michigan State in its next match Sept. 24 at home to kick off its Big Ten schedule.

“Our goal is to keep trying to compete like crazy,” Aird said. “I think there’s times during the match when you can tell the crowd really appreciates how hard we play.

I think passion and how hard we play really have to be the cornerstone of the program and we’ll get technically better and cleaner as we keep going.”
