Raising banners, raising awareness MARS campaign points attention to sexual violence through signs

An AmeriCorps team is trying to help Monroe County win $5 million by reducing energy consumption in Bloomington homes and businesses. The National Civilian Community Corps team, named Oak 6 Team, has been in Bloomington since late September. They’ve been teaching Bloomington residents ways to use less energy in their homes and getting the word out about the Monroe County Energy Challenge. The challenge is part of a larger energy efficiency competition organized by Georgetown University, which began in 2013. Semifinalist cities compete for two years to reduce gas and electricity usage, and the winner will receive $5 million in 2017. “It’s a big undertaking,” said Jacqueline Bauer, Bloomington’s sustainability coordinator. “(The team has) been critical in some of the key activities.” The AmeriCorps NCCC team has 10 members. Based in the North Central Region campus in Vinton, Iowa, they have been working on various projects in different cities throughout the year. NCCC members serve fulltime for 10-month engagements in which they address needs “related to natural and other disasters, infrastructure improvement, environmental stewardship and conservation, and urban and rural development,” according to a press release. Tieshia Brown, the team’s media representative, said this is their

Large red banners are hanging on fraternity houses all over campus. “Join MARS 4 a safer IU,” reads the banner at Phi Gamma Delta. The one at Phi Sigma Kappa reads “Honk if U support SACS,” referring to IU’s Sexual Assault Crisis Services. The banners are the centerpieces of the BannerUp campaign organized by Men Against Rape and Sexual Assault, an organization within the Interfraternity Council. The first banner was hung at the Beta Sigma Psi house Oct. 2, and new banners continue to be added to fraternities each day. “We thought this would be a really easy, simple thing that would raise a lot of awareness with not a lot of cost or complexity,” said Jesse Scheinman, vice president of membership development for IFC and the overseer of the MARS program. “It’s something very feasible that creates a positive impact.” MARS worked with Safe Sisters, a similar organization within the Panhellenic Association, SACS and Culture of Care to develop the campaign. “We collaborated heavily with MARS with the banners, and we definitely

Safe Sisters has existed for five years and began with 30 to 40 members. The MARS program in particular was in need of better organization and a clearer mission within the last few years, Scheinman said. “When I got started on the IFC, there was no roster for MARS, no bigger themes tied in, just two speakers per semester,” Scheinman said. “I saw the need for a better education process and better leadership.” MARS now has 231 members and admission standards for the organization are high, Scheinman said. Safe Sisters has also seen an increase in recent membership, with 117 new members being trained this weekend, Shu said. SEE MARS, PAGE 6

Hoosier players beginning to see growth in defense early in season

Submissions for Trailer Fest, Gadabout Film Fest accepted through October

Sophomore linebacker Marcus Oliver looked back on recent games against Ohio State and Penn State and said the defense didn’t encourage the offense enough when it got down. These were games in which the Hoosiers kept the No. 1 Buckeyes to six points at halftime or shut out the Nittany Lions in the entire third quarter to keep IU within reach. These games resulted in losses, but something can be found in the fact that the defense needed to encourage the offense. The IU defense has been toward the bottom of the Big Ten rankings during the Kevin Wilson era and still is statistically, but the defense has been keeping IU alive with turnovers and stout performances in recent weeks. Players are beginning to look at this as growth. “Being here for four years, it’s obviously nice to see the defense playing to our abilities,” senior defensive end Nick Mangieri said. Mangieri, for example, is sixth in the country with seven sacks this season through six games.

Students interested in filmmaking have two big opportunities to showcase their work in Bloomington this month. Two film festivals — the Trailer Fest Film Festival and the 13th Annual Gadabout Film Fest — will accept submissions for their respective events throughout October. According to Chris Rall of Roller Mortis Films, the Trailer Fest Film Festival is one of the few events that celebrates fake movie trailers, or trailers for movies that do not actually exist. “Making a fake trailer is a great exercise for filmmakers, and it really allows them to refine their craft,” Rall said in an email. “To be effective, you really have to do a great job at planning out every shot and every edit of the trailer.” Rall said the goal is to give audiences the illusion that there is a full film outside the brief preview by constructing a trailer that looks like the filmmaker chose from a full film’s worth of shots. “We hope that the audience will find the event to be very entertaining,” Rall said. “In many

Defensive end Nick Mangieri celebrates after IU recovered a fumble in the first half of play against Ohio State on Saturday, Oct. 3, at Memorial Stadium. IU lost 34-27.

He and senior Zack Shaw had two sacks each in the loss to Penn State and are the leading pass rushers of a defense that is sixth nationally in turnover margin. Mangieri admits when he came into the program, people looked down on the defense and it put a chip on some players’ shoulders, especially the players he came
