Armed robbery suspect at large From IDS reports
The woman who reportedly robbed a Village Pantry at gunpoint early Friday morning was still on the run as of Friday afternoon, authorities said. The suspect, a woman clad in all black clothing and white shoes, entered the convenience store at the corner of 12th Street and Indiana Avenue around 5:30 a.m. Friday, Bloomington Police Department Lt. John Kovach said. The woman hit the store clerk in the head with her black semi-automatic handgun. She demanded money, took the cash — an undisclosed amount — and fled east toward IU’s campus. The clerk immediately called police. During the robbery, he suffered a laceration to the head and later received on-site medical treatment, Kovach said. At about 6 a.m., IU Police Department officers assisted in the investigation by creating a five- to six- block perimeter around the Village Pantry while BPD’s K-9 unit searched for the woman, Kovach said. The woman was not found. IUPD put out a safety alert to students because the suspect ran toward campus, IUPD Lt. Craig Munroe said. Students received notice from the campus alert system around 6 a.m. Friday, and were instructed to stay inside or take immediate shelter. At 6:40 a.m., students were notified to resume normal activity but remain vigilant while the investigation continued. BPD said officers believe the suspect is between 5-foot-7 and 5-foot-9 in height. She wore a black zip-up hoodie with the drawstrings cinched around her face, black gloves and black sweatpants. Her race and age were unknown. This investigation is ongoing. Anyone with any information on the case should contact BPD. Hannah Alani

4 YEARS LATER Acacia returns to campus with a focus on service, academics By Laurel Demkovich | lfdemkov@indiana.edu | @laureldemkovich
For alumni and current members of Acacia fraternity, the thing they want most is a clean slate. After being accused of drug dealing, drug use and hazing, Acacia had its charter revoked in May 2012. Acacia is back on campus with a goal to focus on the fraternity’s initial values of community service and academic achievement. Their return was made official Sunday when brothers gathered in Acacia’s front room to witness the unveiling of a new crest over their fireplace.
Acacia president Ryan Williams said one thing he saw during the house’s last few years was a total separation of Acacia’s values. People were only in Acacia because of the parties they threw, not because they liked what it was about. “It turned into a total animal house,” Williams said. “It was just there to party.” Another problem was a lack of senior leadership, Williams said. Almost no seniors lived in the actual house. To try and prevent this, Acacia will SEE ACACIA, PAGE 6

A lack of offense was an issue for the IU women’s soccer team last season, and that trend has continued into the early part of 2016. IU lost 2-0 to Western Michigan on Sunday at Bill Armstrong Stadium. The Hoosiers recorded only two shots on goal in the defeat. “I’m extremely frustrated and a bit embarrassed,” IU Coach Amy Berbary said. “The effort that we put in today alone is something that I am really disappointed in.” Scoring chances for the Hoosiers were few and far between in the match. Sophomore forwards Abby Allen and Cassidy Blacha both had opportunities to score in the first half, but Western Michigan junior goalkeeper Stephanie Heber saved both attempts. Unlike in IU’s first match of the season Friday, when the Hoosiers drew 1-1 with Louisville, it was freshman goalkeeper Bristal Hadley-Mautino who got the start in net for IU against Western Michigan. Fellow freshman goalkeeper Sarah L’Hommedieu made three saves in the draw against Louisville. Hadley-Mautino also made three saves in the defeat against the Broncos, but she allowed two second half goals to junior midfielder SEE SOCCER, PAGE 6

DCD2 musician MAX took the stage to perform an assortment of covers and original music including his new single “Lights Down Low” Saturday night at the IU Block Party. The event hosted several entertainers such as ZHU, Kiiara and IU DJ Matsu.
A parking lot on the corner of 13th Street and Fee Lane was transformed into a concert venue Saturday night. A growing crowd gathered by the stage for the 2016 IU Welcome Week Block Party, which showcased electronic dance music from headliner Zhu and acts by Matsu, MAX and Kiiara. As members of the crowd danced to the pulses of EDM music, the lights and fog rolling off the stage silhouetted their raised arms. The concert opened with Matsu, known as sophomore Mark Matsuki by day and a professional DJ by night. As he danced behind
the controls, he praised IU and encouraged concertgoers to make some noise. “Let’s party like it’s your goddamn birthday,” Matsuki said. Between songs, he rallied and pumped up the crowd. “IU, you guys here have been absolutely amazing,” he said. The concert included electronic, dance and pop-rock music, creating an EDM theme that sophomore Joseph Cullather said he liked. Cullather said he was looking forward to hearing Kiiara, who is a singer, songwriter and electropop musician from Illinois. He said he enjoyed Kiiara’s debut EP, “low kii savage,” which was released this SEE BLOCK PARTY, PAGE 6
New course coming to local Buddhist monastery By Naomi Farahan nafaraha@umail.iu.edu | @naomifarahan
Buddhists don’t necessarily believe in conversion, but teaching Buddhist philosophy is central to the religion, Buddhist monk Jamyang Lama said. Lama, originally from Tibet but now a Bloomington resident for almost 20 years, is one of four resident monks at the Gaden KhachoeShing Monastery. The monks will soon begin a new introductory course on Buddhist philosophy and meditation
at the monastery. Monks and experienced students facilitate the course. Each roughly hourlong session covers a different teaching within Buddhist philosophy, Lama said. The course is offered at 10 a.m. every Sunday starting Sept. 4. “Our main goal is to create an opportunity to the people, to the community, to the students, so they can learn Buddhist teachings, understand Buddhist teachings and stuff like that,” Lama said. Each session begins and ends
with meditation and includes a question-and-answer discussion period. The lessons are not specifically geared toward people who intend to practice Buddhism. Therapist Suzy Fulkerson is a board member at the monastery and a long-time student of Buddhist philosophy. A teacher for some of the classes, Fulkerson said the discussion topics are broken down to be easily incorporated into everyday life. Subjects include the meanings of karma, meditation, love and
compassion, emotions and understanding suffering, Lama said. Lisa Farnsworth, a senior lecturer at the Maurer School of Law and a legal adviser for Gaden KhachoeShing, has been a student at the monastery since its founding. She was introduced to Buddhism in 1994 when she attended a lecture by a visiting lama, or teacher. She has previously led discussions in introductory courses on Buddhist philosophy.
