From IDS reports

Further details were released Wednesday regarding the apparent murder of IU student Yaolin Wang and the apparent suicide of Chuanlin Xiao.

Bloomington Police Department officers responded to Stratum Apartments at 3130 E. Goodnight Way on Sept. 30 after a man and woman were Yaolin Wang found dead in the common area of one of the apartment buildings.

Wang and Xiao met during the spring semester at North Seattle Community College, according to the latest BPD release. While there, Xiao imposed himself on Wang, moving in with her and refusing to leave.

Investigators believe Xiao might have also physically and mentally abused Wang as he tried to assert control over her life.

Wang did not seek outside assistance from school officials or law enforcement. Though friends of Wang tried to step in, Xiao told them he came from a powerful family in China who could retaliate against their families in China.

When officers arrived they found a 20-year-old man in a stairwell, dead from an apparent suicide by hanging, according to an initial BPD press release. Officers then discovered a 21-year-old woman on a nearby patio area, dead from apparent stab wounds.

The victim and suspect had been in a relationship for approximately six months, according to the initial release. They had lived together at Goodnight Way for about a month.

After a trip home to China this summer, Wang transferred to IUBloomington this fall. On Aug. 22, Xiao arrived in Bloomington, where he again moved into Wang’s SEE UPDATE, PAGE 8

While the city is trying to shut it down, the Organ Trail is still preparing to open October 23 in Muncie, Indiana. The 7,700-square-foot labyrinth attracted 4,000 people to creator Micheal Keihn’s yard last year. Keihn created the Organ Trail after his son died from sudden infant death syndrome.

Muncie city officials work to close popular home haunt

By Jack Evans jackevan@indiana.edu | @JackHEvans

MUNCIE, Indiana — Micheal Keihn is surrounded by monsters.

Killer clowns and murderous lumberjacks and demonic children inhabit the maze that winds around his home.

There are 64 of them, humans creating nightmares between walls of wooden pallets and black plastic.

This is the Organ Trail, a 7,700-square-foot haunt in Keihn’s yard in Muncie, Indiana. Last year, it drew 4,000 people. They’re set to open this year’s haunt, their most elaborate one yet, Friday. The city is trying to stop them.

Keihn sits on his back deck, the maze running flush to its edges. To his left loom a killer lumberjack and a deranged hillbilly. A few feet away stands a half-zombiehalf-mannequin. A demonic 11-year-old innocently holds a half-empty bag of peppermint candy.

It feels like a family. The half-zombie calls it her second home. The killer hillbilly lives in the basement.

Keihn needs this place.

Without it, he says, he’d be dead.

He’s locked his demons away in the labyrinth. * * *

The resolution supporting Planned Parenthood was passed unanimously by Bloomington’s city council after three hours in session Wednesday night.

The resolution, supported by city council members Dorothy Granger, Susan Sandberg and Tim Mayer, cited Planned Parenthood’s STD tests and treatments, well woman exams and family planning services as reasons why the organization should be supported by the City of Bloomington.

According to the resolution, Bloomington’s Healthcare Clinic provided more than 4,400 STD tests and treatments in 2014, as well as 890 breast exams and 224 cervical cancer screenings.

Beth Headrick, Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky’s director of communications, said she hoped the resolution would provide “more in-depth support” for the organization.

“So much of what we do is preventive in nature,” Headrick said. “We want the communities to know that we provide these services and that we serve a number of people across our state.”

The comments from Bloomington residents detailed experiences with Planned Parenthood argued morality or brought up recent news stories about Planned Parenthood as a whole.

During the council meeting, District 3 council member Martin Spechler addressed rumors that Planned Parenthood sold the remains of aborted fetuses, did not conform to cleanliness standards and promotes abortion to pregnant clients.

On a summer morning in 2012, around 9 a.m., Keihn put his ear to a door. He heard nothing behind it, and so he assumed his 7-month-old

twins, Raigen and Markus, were sleeping. Rule No. 1, he knew, was to never wake a sleeping baby.

Earlier that morning, his wife, Cassandria, had heard both boys crying. She changed two diapers, fed two babies with two bottles and went back to bed.

Around 9:30 a.m., the twins’ godmother arrived.

“Aww, they’re sleeping,” she said as she opened their door. Standing behind her, Keihn noticed something else: Raigen’s arm, limp, dangling out of the crib. He rushed to pick him up. The boy’s body was cold.

When the ambulance and firetruck and police arrived, Keihn was attempting CPR. He doesn’t remember much, but he remembers sobbing and vomiting on the porch.

He remembers the hour they gave him and Cassandria Raigen’s body. He remembers saying Raigen’s name over and over again and thinking it was his fault.

He also remembers the $6,000 in funeral costs, how friends pitched in $20 here and $100 there and they still had to empty their own bank accounts. How the “U” in “SUIDS” — sudden unexplained infant death syndrome — stuck out. How a couple of drinks on the weekend turned into three cases of Budweiser and a fifth of Jack Daniels every day.

Jamie Cook, Cassandria’s cousin-in-law, witnessed Keihn’s descent and decided to keep Keihn busy with external

horrors. They spent that October building a small haunt in Keihn’s yard and, on Halloween night, Cook turned into a chainsaw killer while Keihn donned clown makeup.

Twenty people showed up.

Since then, they’ve amassed a fan base — nicknamed Organ Donors — ranging from Muncie to Fort Worth, Texas, to the United Kingdom. They’ve never charged admission, but this year, they’ll accept donations.

It’s more than a hobby, he says. It’s his saving grace. * * * On nights when the Organ Trail opens, Keihn does his makeup in the same way and listens to the same music — Blue October’s “The End” is a favorite. He gives a pep talk to his cast, they have a moment of silence and then more music cuts through — AC/DC, “For Those About to Rock.”

Keihn’s voice changes to

a gravely taunt — his Kreepy voice. He thinks of Raigen.

“Hit the lights.”

Kreepy is Keihn’s killer clown character, a persona with an affinity for crude jokes and candy-colored baseball bats transformed into gnarly weapons. A green bat retrofitted with a circular saw blade is his favorite. He calls it the Giggle Stick.

The Giggle Stick can’t help Keihn in his present battle: a duel with the City of Muncie.

It began in late September with the arrival of two fire marshals.

“We got a report from another home haunt that you guys are opening a haunt and charging for it,” Deputy State Fire Marshal Aaron Elsworth told Keihn.

“No, you can come in all you want,” Keihn replied.

“We ask for donations, but we don’t keep it.”

IU basketball coach learns from Crean

By Taylor Lehman trlehman@indiana.edu | @trlehman_IDS

When it was announced that Teri Moren would be the next IU women’s basketball head coach in the summer of 2014, Moren received several offerings of congratulations and advice.

While on a team trip in Canada, IU men’s basketball Coach Tom Crean left her a voicemail.

“That was very, very special,” Moren said. “I received several texts, but I got a voicemail from Tom, taking time out of his schedule in Canada to welcome me to the Indiana family and offering any kind of help that he could give me as I got to Bloomington.”

After the Seymour, Indiana, native spent four years coaching Indiana State, during which time she had two winning seasons and a Missouri Valley Conference regular season championship in 2014, she was chosen to lead a program that had abruptly lost its own head coach.

Fraternity promotes assault awareness

By Sarah Gardner gardnese@indiana.edu | @sarahhhgardner

Despite only a few weeks to make plans for the event, Sigma Chi’s front yard was crowded Wednesday afternoon.

Culture of Care, Safe Sisters, Men Against Rape and Sexual Assault and a large crowd of students came together for an event to raise awareness for sexual assault.

“Honestly, this was only planned about three weeks ago, so it’s pretty cool that we came up with the idea and got it up and running so quickly,” Reese Dorger, president of Sigma Chi, said. “About 15 of our brothers took it upon themselves to come together and plan everything.”

The awareness event is primarily in response to recent misconduct in the IU greek community as well as a desire to use their fraternity’s house in a positive manner, Dorger said.

“It’s an opportunity for

all of these organizations to work together actually at a fraternity, which is a little unusual,” Dorger said.

Many types of philanthropy events in the greek system focus on raising money for an external cause or organization, but the real goal of the event was to increase awareness of an issue within the community, Dorger said.

The event featured a live band and food from BuffaLouie’s at the Gables, as well as numerous speakers. Culture of Care also had a table at the event.

“After recent events, as well as the release of the climate survey from the University, it’s obviously really important to do our part to educate students,” said Mackenzie Conrad, a senior and co-chair of Culture of Care. “Now, more than ever, it’s an important thing to discuss so we can try to nip issues in the bud.”

The sexual assault climate survey, released Tuesday by IU, made it clear that a stronger stance on the is-

sue of sexual assault is necessary, Conrad said. According to the report, 86 percent of women sexually assaulted at IU as of last fall did not report the incident.

“It’s really important for students to realize the need for a better understanding of these issues,” Conrad said.

“That is the only way we can start talking about it and try to change it.”

Dylan Lanoff, a junior and a co-director for Safe Sisters, a sexual assault awareness organization within the IU Panhellenic Association, spoke briefly in front of the crowd.

She focused on consent, coercion, rape and alcohol, emphasizing the importance of going deep into the details of these issues.

Representatives from Culture of Care and MARS also spoke, and a panel of students fielding questions on sexual assault was featured as well.

Sigma Chi did not initially contact these organizations because of the

limited time frame they had to plan the event, said Cullen Hoene, a sophomore in Sigma Chi who helped plan the event.

“First we started just reaching out to other fraternities and sororities, but we realized we needed some other leadership in order to

make it a better event,” said.

“Sexual assault is a problem that’s not just affecting greek life. It’s a bigger issue that affects humanity as a whole.”

CAPS creates transgender, Senator educate students genderqueer support group about Indiana Lifeline Law

By Nyssa Kruse nakruse@indiana.edu | @nyssakruse

For years, clinical psychologist Brad Stepp has been interested in working with the transgender and genderqueer community.

This work has taken several forms in his career, from participating in a study evaluating the quality of mental health care for trans patients in Chicago to beginning a consultation group within IU’s Counseling and Psychological Services dedicated to education about transgender issues and assessing resources for transgender students.

However, recently, his desire to serve the genderqueer community spawned the idea to create a support group for transgender and gender nonconforming individuals on campus.

“I think it’s helpful for students to be able to be a part of a group where they feel like people understand where they’re coming from, who may understand similar experiences or struggles such as coming out or what it’s like to transition, if that’s something they ultimately decide to do,” Stepp said.

Stepp, in conjunction with other staff members at CAPS, decided to start a transgender support group after seeing more and more patients dealing with gender identity issues come to the health center.

The support group also came out of conversations within the transgender consultation group on how to best serve this group of students.

The group does not yet meet, but Stepp said he hopes it will begin meeting no later than next semester.

Clinical psychologist Benjamin Neale, who works with Stepp on the transgender consultation group and helped create the support group, said members will gather once a week at a cost of $15 per session once the group starts.

The group will provide a place for people exploring their gender identity to feel understood and seek advice

from peers going through similar experiences.

After the initial idea to start the group, Stepp reached out to Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Student Support Services to gauge interest in the support group. GLBTSSS Director Doug Bauder talked to students about the group, and Stepp said the response was positive, encouraging his team to go through with creating the group.

“We keep our ears attuned to what students are needing at any given time, and right now trans issues are more prominent than they have been in the early years of this office’s establishment,” Bauder said. “We’re very pleased CAPS is doing this.”

Neale said the rate of mental illness is much higher within the transgender community compared to the general population, but transgender and genderqueer individuals might not seek out services for a variety of reasons.

“We are hoping to buck that trend and to create more of an inclusive service not only at CAPS but as the IU community as a whole,” Neale said.

Because this certain group deals with discrimination in healthcare settings, Neale said he is seeking a meeting location outside the health center.

“We felt that it would be important for us to create an inclusive environment from the start, and if there was any real or perceived barriers to that, we knew that would not lend itself to creating and maintaining the group that we wanted,” Neale said. “So to avoid that, we decided to emphasize a location outside of the health center for this particular support group.”

The issues transgender and genderqueer people face are different than the challenges faced by gay, lesbian, bisexual or otherwise sexually queer people, Bauder said.

Transgender or gender nonconforming people receive less acceptance from society, but also deal with everyday problems such as finding suitable bathrooms and having

Whenever Sen. Jim Merritt, R-Indianapolis, tweets about the Indiana Lifeline Law, he always adds the hashtag #MakeGoodDecisions.

Merritt, who helped pass and then expand the law, spends time every fall traveling to different universities around the state to speak about the Lifeline Law. This phrase is what he hopes students learn when they hear him speak, he said.

Merritt will speak at the IU Phi Mu sorority house Thursday to explain the law and how it can affect students.

“I think students are sometimes afraid to call 911 in emergencies involving alcohol,” said Natalie Maier, vice president of chapter development for Phi Mu and an organizer for Merritt’s visit. “But ultimately, the state doesn’t want us to feel like we have to choose between losing a life and getting in legal trouble.”

The Lifeline Law was first

passed in 2012 and granted legal immunity to those who call 911 in an alcohol-related medical emergency if they are underage. The law was first proposed by six student body presidents from colleges throughout Indiana.

The law received a “yes” vote from every member of the Indiana House and Senate, Merritt said.

“We know students aren’t perfect,” Merritt said. “And while we aren’t permitting mistakes that happen, we are acknowledging that it happens, and we want to ask students to make good decisions when it does.”

In 2014, Merritt helped to expand the law to grant legal immunity to the person who makes the 911 call, more clearly establishing mitigating circumstances for medical emergencies regarding other illegal substances and allowing first responders to administer overdose intervention drugs.

“This law really is an assist to students in emergency situations,” Merritt said.

Many of Merritt’s talks at college campuses take place in front of greek audiences.

Merritt estimates in the last three or four years he has spoken to more than 46,000 people in this setting.

“When you hear someone saying these things, it helps you put into perspective that saving a life is always more important than the legal implications you’re afraid of,” Maier said. “And it’s important to note that the government itself wants to help reduce that fear.”

The bottom line is the law is meant to help keep people safe, Merritt said. He has helped write numerous other pieces of legislation he describes as being in the same family, including bills on drug dealing and abuse, violent crime, overdose intervention and sexual assault.

“I plan on being down to as many sororities and fraternities as possible, and I will be doing this for the rest of my career,” Merritt said.

“There will always be 17- and 18-year-old students who are new to college life, who are away from their parents for the first time, who need to know what to do if something goes wrong.”

For people interested in joining the transgender support group, call CAPS at 812-855-5711 or email Brad Stepp at gstepp@ indiana.edu their preferred names and pronouns used.

“I think society could be a very stressful place for all of us to live, depending on what background we come from or what difficulties we might experience ourselves, so people are not always as accepting and as understanding as maybe we would like for them to be,” Stepp said. “So, I think having a group to get support and process those kinds of things could, hopefully, be very helpful for students at IU who may be dealing with their own gender identities and exploring that component of their identity.”

Grant awarded part of 2015 goal

By Julie Masterson julmaste@indiana.edu

IU is working to create an app that will put the resources of the Library of Congress in the palm of your hand.

The Library of Congress awarded $315,000 to IU’s Center on Representative Government and three other organizations to produce an interactive educational program to help students learn about representative government.

The grant is part of Congress’ 2015 initiative to create more opportunities for the development of online interactive apps, specifically those that will educate users about Congress and civic participation.

Gary Mills, the director of education and new media at the Center on Representative Government, conceptualized the idea for the app and wrote the proposal for the grant.

The program, called “Engaging Congress,” will use primary sources from the Library of Congress’ digital collection, such as documents, audio, video, posters and political cartoons, some of which date back to the founding of the United States.

“We are going to use these documents to show the progression of issues throughout our history, as well as show how things that happened in the 1800s still are relevant today and affect us today,” Mills said.

Mills said the app, which is primarily designed for high school students, is also meant to draw students’ attention to current issues in Congress and encourage them to consider possible solutions.

“We’re trying to address issues that students can get engaged with in a fun way,” Mills said. “It’s really hands on. It’s not just memorizing facts and dates.”

Mills said the app will serve as a powerful supplement to what they learn in

the classroom because it engages students by using technology they are comfortable with, such as smart phones, laptops and tablets.

Andrew Nelson, the owner and production lead at Half Full Nelson, is the head of the team that will bring “Engaging Congress” to life.

“Using games to engage students on the devices they use on a daily basis allows us unique opportunities that a book and a worksheet may not,” Nelson said. “This project does not intend to replace other methods of teaching this content, but augment it.”

Because the project is a partnership between the Library of Congress, the Center on Representative Government, and teachers and students, Mills said meeting the needs of all the stakeholders can be challenging.

“The Library of Congress wants to use primary sources in the classroom, the Center for Representative Government wants to address some of the current challenges facing Congress today and the classroom teachers need to be convinced that the students will really learn,” Mills said.

Though the development team has a variety of games, activities and structures in mind, Nelson said the end product will be driven largely by feedback acquired during design sessions with teachers.

Nelson said members of the development team come from various political backgrounds and their focus is fostering political participation rather than pushing a specific political agenda.

“We would really like to see this application grow and become a valuable asset to our teachers,” Nelson said. “Students get used to using these types of applications at home after school, so it would be nice to see this technology become a part of tomorrow’s classrooms.”

The school will start offering degrees in intelligent systems engineering during the 2016-17 academic year.

Planned Parenthood supporters take a photo in show of their support against the backdrop of pro-life supporters outside the Bloomington City Council office before the council meeting on Wednesday. The city council heard a resolution in support of the local Planned Parenthood clinic during the meeting.

Planned Parenthood, said young people needed to get involved in the battle for women’s healthcare.

“The crazy thing is, I thought this battle was over and had been won,” Freund said. “But it was not.”

Freund said she’d sup-

ported pro-choice legislation since she became able to vote.

“It’s very disturbing that the average age of the (prochoice) people here would be 55,” Freund said. “This is not our battle — get the young people involved.”

illegal abortion when Freud was in 10th grade.

Woman shares gift of channeling

By Lyndsay Jones jonesly@indiana.edu | @lyndsayjonesy

Regularly, Cinda Crull seems to be having an out-of-body experience.

On Oct. 15, Crull came to Unity of Bloomington to share what she calls one of her “gifts” to a small group of listeners. Her gift, she said, is channeling: being a conduit for spiritual beings who wish to speak to humans.

“I didn’t realize until 1990 that I could channel,” Crull said. “It took me awhile to realize that these beings I was talking to were beings I had channeled as a toddler.”

Crull was 39 when she began to pursue channeling seriously. Prior to that, she said had been a marriage and family therapist, licensed in Indiana and studying under various mystic teachers on the side.

After channeling became a priority, Crull moved to Oregon, Washington D.C. and Cape Cod to study with other channelers and spiritual teachers, intermittently coming back to Bloomington throughout the years.

Last Thursday, she was back for class.

After America voted online, the idea beat out “Wavy West Coast Truffle Fries,”“New York Reuben” and “Kettle Cooked Greektown Gyro.”

Green will either receive $1 million in prize money or one percent of the net sales of her chip flavor through mid-July 2016.

In a dimly-lit room, she explained cheerfully to her class what would happen: she would close her eyes and the spirits would take over from there.

“Relax, enjoy, drink in the energy, because it’s coming,” Crull said.

Her audience — 10 women and one man circled around her — laughed.

Then she bowed her head.

When she lifted it again and spoke, it was not quite her voice.

“Greetings, dear ones,” Crull said.

But an accent colored the voice — although it was not a brand new voice, it was still markedly different.

Before she began, she had told her audience that asking her (or the spirit) where the accent came from would be pointless. She said most people found it “unidentifiable” and guessed that it was Irish, English or Indian, among others.

So no one asked.

As she spoke, Crull seemed to be prophesying.

“The masculine and feminine in the world have been out of balance,” Crull said.

“The feminine is rising up.”

Crull spoke at length, opening the room up for questions after nearly 40 minutes.

“I have a question,” one woman said. “Can you tell me what kind of publishing is in my future?”

Crull settled back into her chair.

“If you have things to say, then just say them,” Crull said.

“It is your time to speak, don’t worry about the format — what format your words will take.”

The woman began to cry.

At least four of the women asked her questions. So did the man. He wanted to know why his entrepreneurial career was stagnating. Up until then, he had sat with his arms crossed. Now, he leaned in.

Crull thought again.

“It’s a mindset, like you said,” Crull said. “You answered your own question for yourself.”

The man nodded, seemingly satisfied.

After a while, Crull asked for the time. She said the spirits had noticed she was worried about the time, even though she had not gone over her allotted time for the class.

“This one always worries

about the time,” Crull said.

When it ended, she lifted her head and said, “Wow.” She said she has no knowledge of what was said during the channeling.

One of the women who sat next to her, Brianne Jamerson, said she had walked into the room a skeptic.

“I was nervous at first,” Jamerson said. “It’s an unusual concept.”

Crull said she’s used to people walking out of group sessions.

Jamerson didn’t come quite on her accord.

Ruth Thelin, a friend, had encouraged her to come.

“I came to support Brianne’s first time,” Thelin said.

“I’ve been to private channelings and I came back to hear these things again. The themes are similar in private channelings and group channelings.”

Crull offers in-home classes on channeling and mysticism. After her session on Thursday, Jamerson signed up for her classes.

“My challenge, like everyone else, is learning to listen,” Crull said. “We all channel, just in different ways: hunches, God, et cetera.”

The city is getting ready for curbside leaf pickup next month, but Bloomington’s Public Works Department wants people to compost instead.

“If everyone in Bloomington composted their leaves, we wouldn’t have to have these diesel-powered trucks collecting these leaves,” said Susie Johnson, director of the department.

Though the city burns fuel collecting yard waste throughout the year anyway, Johnson said keeping leaves out for workers to pick up can still have an added effect on greenhouse gases. A diesel powered dump truck and vacuum are used to collect the raked-up leaves. By dealing with the matter themselves, residents can help prevent fossil fuel emissions.

Bloomington residents can rake leaves into biodegradable bags to be picked up, or to the edge of the curb to be vacuumed. A third option, which is encouraged by the city, is to compost the leaves.

“If you compost at home your own leaves and yard trimmings you have rich composting material you can then use in your garden,” Johnson said.

Some communities send their collected yard waste to local landfills, Johnson said, where organic matter produces greenhouse gases when it decomposes.

Bloomington doesn’t.

All of the leaves the city collects go to Good Earth LLC, a commercial composter that turns yard waste into mulch and organic compost available for residents to purchase.

Marcia Veldman, manager of the Bloomington’s Farmers’ Market, said she believes in the benefits of composting. Though she doesn’t add leaves to her

pile — instead she rakes them onto her flowerbeds, where they provide warmth and coverage during winter months and add nutrients to the soil — she does add other garden waste like grass trimmings, and kitchen scraps like eggshells and coffee grounds.

Composting also returns carbon back into the soil, Veldman said.

“Sending kitchen scraps to the landfill contributes to climate change, whereas composting them and returning them to the soil is positive,” she said.

Landfills account for about 18 percent of methane emissions in the United States, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. On its website the agency reported that methane is the “second most prevalent greenhouse gas emitted in the United States from human activities.”

By adding organic matter like leaves to a compost pile, the EPA reported that people can reduce their carbon footprints.

Johnson said the Public Works Department wants people to be aware of the benefits of composting.

“I understand why the city promotes people (composting) by themselves,” Veldman said. “It saves that extra fuel from going around, picking them up and driving them to a composting facility when most people could quite easily compost them themselves in their yard.”

Sophomore wins swimmer of the week

SPORTS

EDITORS: NICOLE KRASEAN & TAYLOR LEHMAN | SPORTS@IDSNEWS.COM

Sophomore Blake Pieroni was named Big Ten Swimmer of the Week this week.

This award comes after his performance last weekend against top-10 ranked teams Florida and Texas.

Pieroni recorded two NCAA provisional

qualifying times with first place finishes in the 100- and 200-yard freestyle in times of 43.69 and 1:36.06, respectively.

Pieroni also won two more first place finishes in the 100 and 200 LCM freestyle events over the weekend.

FIELD HOCKEY

IU finds production from underclassmen

By Zain Pyarali zpyarali@indiana.edu | @ZP_IDS

After tying the school record for conference wins with four, IU field hockey is having one of its best seasons to date.

The Hoosiers’ success can be traced to the emergence of new leaders, starting at the top with first year IU Coach Amanda Janney.

Led by sophomore forward Maddie Latino, the freshmen and sophomores have accounted for 42 percent of points for the Hoosiers this season.

“Its been a whole team effort this year. It doesn’t matter who you are, what position or what grade you’re in,” senior defender Sydney Supica said.

“I think that’s awesome to see from our whole team, and it really started in the summer and in preseason by really connecting off the field and then bringing that into the season this year.”

Latino has a team-high

of nine goals and is second in assists, with six through 15 games. After netting just one goal a season ago in a bench role, she has started every game but one this year and has become the go-to player for the Hoosier penalty corners.

Rother, the true freshman goalkeeper, has been shutting it down between the pipes for the Hoosiers all season.

During her first season in the states, she is currently second in the conference in saves with 76.

Last weekend was Rother’s most productive performance on the field since coming to IU as she recorded her first two shutouts of her career in back-to-back games against Ohio State and Penn State.

That marked the first time in school history that a goalkeeper had accomplished that feat during conference play.

“The first two weeks I was

here in the preseason, I would think, ‘Oh, that’s very different from Germany,’” Rother said. “Now I’ve adjusted to the hockey, and I really like it.”

Janney has made this Hoosier team more unified than in years past. As the players have said all season, the team’s focus is more about team morale than seniority.

If a player has the skill, she’ll find her way into the lineup.

Sophomore midfielder Taylor Pearson has found a home in the starting lineup as well this season after only starting in two contests a season ago. She has three goals to her credit this year and has been more involved in the offensive press by moving the ball down the field effectively.

“AJ has just been trying out everyone in different positions, and everyone has the ability to fill any position on the field,” Pearson said.

Sophomore midfielder Abby Urbanek has thrived in taking penalty corners for the

IU (8-7) at Maryland (13-3) 6 p.m. Friday Bloomington Hoosiers when Latino is out of the game.

She has one goal and two assists on the season, while seeing key minutes off the bench and setting up the Hoosiers with scoring opportunities.

In addition to Urbanek, a pair of freshmen, forward Claire Woods and defender Nora Aucker, have taken advantage of key minutes for IU in their first season in Bloomington.

Woods has seen action in every game this season and has been inserted into the lineup more as the season has moved forward. She’s recorded two assists in the last three Big Ten matchups.

Aucker was thrown into the fire immediately, starting her first seven career games and picking up the slack on

the Hoosier backline with Supica out due to injury. Since being moved to a reserve role, she’s looked more comfortable on the field, stopping opponents on the attack.

With players stepping into new roles, this Hoosier team is seeking to become the win-

ningest team in conference play in program history.

“We’ve just played as a team and really been able to connect passes,” Pearson said. “Everyone is filling a different role, and I think it’s just helped out a lot compared to last year.”

HEAR ME OUT

The IU-Purdue rivalry relies on a mutual dependence Let me take this time to tell you I am from New Jersey.

I don’t comprehend why there is such a deep rivalry between these two schools.

But here’s what I do know after talking to IU Coach Tom Crean and Purdue Coach Matt Painter — its return to its former heights comes down to a mutual dependence. And it seems to be getting there.

“I don’t know if our rivalry would ever reach the heights

of where it was unless both of us are really good together for a long period of time,” Painter said.

Painter understands the rivalry as well as anyone.

He grew up in an IU family. His father attended IU. He played point guard at Purdue.

Painter said the rivalry might not have the personalities it did with Bob Knight and Gene Keady, but it’s still a rivalry.

USA Today’s Coaches Poll has IU at No. 15 and Purdue at No. 24 to start the season.

These teams are exciting and interesting. They are seemingly conflicting opposites.

IU is arguably the best shooting team in the nation, but it’s still trying to secure front court depth. Purdue

adds five-star Caleb Swanigan to a big man rotation already as respected as any.

Also, they speak highly of each other.

“I would think they would be a legitimate contender for the national championship,” Crean said.

Painter said Crean has “got it going again.”

The rivalry does not harbor hatred between Painter and Crean. They respect each other, but the relationship is

competitive and hard. They are not going to be close.

“That’s the way it is,” Painter said. “That’s the way it’s supposed to be, right?”

The two’s relationship only means so much. What matters is the stakes. The two teams need to return to prominence for the rivalry to feel relevant again.

Last year provided a taste of what it could be again. Purdue won both meetings, but it felt more important. Both

So as both teams have expectations placed upon them, the rivalry depends on them meeting those expectations — and meeting them together. brodmill@indiana.edu

THE SPORTS S’TORI

The Hoosiers must show discipline to upset Spartans You couldn’t have scripted it any better.

For IU, a perennial basketball school, in Indiana, a perennial basketball state, football season serves as an opening act.

And right on cue, IU football seemed to close the curtain this past Saturday in an ignominious 55-52 loss to Rutgers, setting the stage perfectly for IU men’s basketball, which makes its season “debut” this Saturday with Hoosier Hysteria.

This poeticizes the state of IU athletics throughout the past 50-plus years, in which one of the “big two” college sports has clear, lasting hegemony over the other.

This tradition is a pretext for dismissing the failures of IU football — but make no mistake. To follow it is to condone the apathy surrounding the program’s history of mediocrity.

Saturday might have felt like the end of IU football, but it isn’t. The show

is far from over — and the Hoosiers need to be held accountable by a captive audience.

The old adage goes it’s not how you fall, but how you pick yourself up that counts.

So let’s see how IU football picks itself up against Michigan State.

The Spartans have been touched this season with the kind of destiny the Hoosiers have been unable to manifest for decades, emblematic in the waning seconds of the teams’ most recent matchups.

At the same time Rutgers was driving into IU territory in a tie game — setting up the game-winning field goal and a miraculous loss for the Hoosiers — Michigan fumbled what would have been the game-winning punt. The

Spartans recovered the fumble and ran it in for a touchdown as the clock expired, a miraculous victory.

IU (4-3, 0-3) will have to flip this script in East Lansing if it hopes to take down undefeated MSU (7-0, 3-0).

The Spartans have certainly left the door open for upset this season, with close games against Oregon, Rutgers and Purdue that give many the impression they are not as formidable as their record suggests.

IU Coach Kevin Wilson, too, said he believes the Hoosiers are better than the sum of their wins and losses.

He was quick to emphasize the first three quarters against the Scarlet Knights, which comprise the best football IU has played all season in spite of the fourth quarter sacrilege that ultimately determined the game’s outcome.

If the former team shows up at Spartan Stadium, one would think IU has as good a shot as any to hand

IU (4-3) at Michigan State (7-0) 3:30 p.m. Saturday East Lansing, Michigan Michigan State its first loss in 11 games, dating back to last season.

But in order to claim the Old Brass Spittoon, the Hoosiers will have to demonstrate levels of discipline and focus that hit an alltime low against the Scarlet Knights and have been inconsistent in arguably every game this season.

There’s a reason the Spartans are currently in possession of the longest win streak in the Mark Dantonio era — they execute those skills with tremendous poise, even in the face of adversity.

Now with three straight losses, snapping a streak of the Hoosiers’ own will mean not only remedying the origin of the their 28-point skid on homecoming Saturday, but beating Sparty at its own game, against the

off that performance.

AN EMMA DILEMMA

STEVEN’S CONSERVATIVE CORNER

Benghazi committee should be investigated

Utilize Israel as U.S. ally

Emma Wenninger is a senior in Spanish and English.

An ex-staff member of the Benghazi Select House Committee, Maj. Bradley Podliska, investigating the extent of Hillary Clinton’s involvement in the Sept. 11, 2012 consulate attack in Benghazi, told CNN the establishment of the committee was essentially set up as a witch hunt against Clinton.

Still, the Benghazi panel is continuing its investigation of Clinton and is planning to have a congressional hearing to investigate Clinton’s personal emails and her overall personal conduct as secretary of state.

I’ll be the first to admit I don’t think Clinton’s hands are clean in the Benghazi attacks.

The United States compound was attacked in Benghazi, Libya, in 2012. Four Americans were brutally killed, one of which was a U.S. ambassador.

The details surrounding the attack have never been totally clear, but the gravity of the case certainly warrants a more serious investigation than the sideshow playing out in Washington right now.

I will probably not be voting for Clinton in the primaries. To me she’s got her fingers in too many pies and I fear her presidency would only harm U.S. overseas efforts.

I don’t think she’s a perfect politician, either — there’s a lack of transparency about her that I don’t like.

But playing dirty politics is something I cannot stand.

Even though this ex-staffer has blatantly accused the Benghazi panels of targeting Clinton, the fact members of the Benghazi committee have only answered Podliska’s allegations with denial has me more than a little upset.

I understand that politics isn’t exactly good clean fun.

But when it is so blatantly obvious someone is being accused of something under false pretenses, I demand that there be more investigations, especially since that someone is running for president in a highly contentious political time.

Furthermore, the Clinton drama takes away from the actual issues at hand — too often I turn on the news to find someone harping on the upcoming congressional hearing than I do about the Black Lives Matter movement and the need to re-think the college system — essentially, anything that is actually of some immediate importance.

And I find it shocking they would use such a brutal attack to try and bring Clinton to her knees.

Benghazi was a tragedy.

Four people were killed, no answers have been given and I think that deserves more respect than a phony hearing with no actual political purpose.

I want a serious investigation into Benghazi and for there to be an actual case against Clinton. Yes she used her personal email, but are we really only going to focus on this one specific event?

Why not the other potential risks involved in using personal emails for matters of state?

In short, this investigation is a sham and a waste of both Clinton’s time and ours.

I hope it ends quickly so we can begin focusing on real issues again.

Clinton isn’t the perfect candidate but dirty politics doesn’t only hurt her — it hurts everyone involved in our upcoming presidential elections. ewenning@indiana.edu @emmawenninger

ILLUSTRATION BY NHAN NGUYEN | IDS

It’s on them WE SAY: IU should take responsibility for assault It’s a problem that seemingly won’t go away.

Sexual violence — rape, sexual assault, sexual harassment, intimate partner violence, stalking etc.

— continues to stubbornly hang around in the IU community, both on and off campus.

The just-released results of a campus-wide survey might be able to help in addressing and solving issues of sexual violence at IU, but they also show just how far we still have to go and how much work remains to be done.

More than 7,100 students, both graduate and undergraduate, participated in the survey, which was distributed via email in November 2014.

In response to the statement “Indiana University does enough to ensure the safety of students,” 32.1 percent of undergraduate women, 28.2 percent of graduate women, 54.4 percent of undergraduate men and 41.2 percent of graduate men said they either strongly agreed or agreed.

Why do so few students, especially women, feel that IU is keeping them safe?

The report and McRobbie’s accompanying letter, available online at stop

s e x u a l v i o l e n c e. i u . e d u , come across as somewhat self-congratulatory, as though the administration is patting itself on the back for a job well done.

Meanwhile, more than one third of undergraduate and graduate women report having been sexually harassed while at IU, and 17 percent of undergraduate women report experiencing “attempted or completed nonconsensual sexual penetration.”

To put that into clearer terms, nearly one in five undergraduate women reports having been the victim of an actual or attempted rape while a student at IU. This is absolutely unacceptable, but it confirms the headlines we see almost every day in the Indiana Daily Student.

Rape and other sexual violence should not be so commonplace that they are no longer breaking news but rather everyday occurrences in our community.

McRobbie’s letter brags “nearly 95 percent of our undergraduate students have participated in some sort of program, event, training or class that deals with sexual assault or

gender-related issues.”

We say these programs must not be working, since around half of women responding to the survey and almost 40 percent of men agreed with the statement that IU officials “should do more to protect students from harm.”

The report and accompanying letter also read as though the University is attempting to shift responsibility for campus safety away from IU and onto students and society at large.

Referencing the White House’s “It’s On Us” campaign that seeks to get students involved in preventing sexual violence in colleges and universities, McRobbie writes “fewer than 5 percent” of survey respondents said they thought prevention was “the sole responsibility of the University.”

He also wrote in bold type that many IU students reported experiencing sexual violence “before arriving at IU.” We say this doesn’t absolve the University of its legal responsibility to keep students safe.

Federal Title IX legislation requires colleges and universities to provide students with a safe learn-

ing environment free from “sex discrimination, sexual harassment and sexual violence,” according to knowyourix.org.

IU is obviously doing a pretty awful job of meeting this obligation when 56.3 percent of undergraduate women and 85.8 percent of graduate women say the IU staff either did not help them at all, helped a little or could have helped them more when they reported an instance of sexual violence.

We think it’s pathetic that it took a campus-wide survey to convince McRobbie that sexual violence and students not feeling safe while at IU are real problems.

When almost 30 percent of women say their experiences negatively affected their academic life, the University is failing its students. And IU fails all of us if it fails to appropriately address sexual violence.

We ask then, what exactly does IU plan to do?

Because it’s not on us.

It’s on McRobbie and the rest of the IU administration to ensure a safe learning environment for every student.

Federal law agrees: it’s on them.

MAGGIE’S MUSINGS

No one needs a vajacial to feel good When it comes to the standards of beauty, we already know society asks too much.

It isn’t always society that’s asking, though. Sometimes you remember a comment made about your physical experience for years.

I’m looking at you, guyfrom-my-high-school-precalculus-class who said I was a “solid six.”

Jenny Slate recently published a personal anecdote about her experience receiving a “vaginal facial” in Lenny Letter, a newsletter from creators Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner.

Slate said she voluntarily got the treatment partially because she remembered a young man in her high school lamenting that he only ate his girlfriend out because “it just needed to happen” and that he could only do it if he held his “nose and went for it.”

She feared this type of

casual insult about someone else’s body meant that everyone needed to be worried about or ashamed of their private bits.

Surprise — no one needs to be, unless a medical professional has personally noted some reason for concern.

The “vajacial” was a $70 procedure and, as Slate put it, “more trouble than it’s worth.” Things like the vajacial are indeed more trouble than they are worth because the motives behind them are worth nothing. At least, they should be worth nothing.

The idea that a current romantic partner or an ignorant teen from your past should have total say in whether you get an expensive spa treatment is worthless.

I have to wonder why these types of treatments are even still around. But the answer is simple: there is still a market. It is a market made stronger by people and the

media body shaming things that are completely normal, like rib cages that protect your lungs.

Should you wish to forgo your ribs in favor of a curvier physique, though, hourglassangel.com would be happy to sell you one of their hauntingly sexy waist training corsets.

Or maybe you would prefer to introduce a live parasite into your body to reduce your body mass index.

There’s always the tapeworm diet. You know, because nothing is sexier than living day-by-day wondering if that creepy-crawly you swallowed will kill you this time.

So why do we do these things to ourselves? I know we get the unrealistic standards of beauty argument beaten into our heads every day by clickbait articles and guidance counselors.

Yet we still perpetuate the rigidity of these standards.

We still think the number

Maggie Eickhoff is a sophomore in international studies.

of similarities between ourselves and the image of perfection directly correlates to the amount of sex we will have in the future.

We still measure our worth by how much sex appeal we have. Sometimes we even do it numerically.

I’m looking at you again, pre-calc guy.

So let me say this: a partner that encourages you to get a vajacial, lay in a tanning bed or to go on a crash diet is not a partner that deserves any part of you.

And similarly, you must never believe that your sweet beautiful self, hairy, pale or lumpy though it might be, is not worthy of affection. meickhof@indiana.edu @maggie_eickhoff

Secretary of State John Kerry reiterated the United States’ commitment to positive relations with Israel during his recent visit to campus, and it’s time we recognize our reasons for backing Israel by engaging in a secular discussion about our general relationship.

First, supporting Israel is essential because of its regional position. The Middle East has been an area of interest for the U.S. for decades.

Throughout the region, Israel helps counter the regional rivals that America has, namely Iran.

Even with the Iran Deal — the jury is still out on that one — nullifying Iran’s nuclear capability for the time being, Iran has the capability of becoming a significant policy issue for the U.S. With economic sanctions placed on Iranian commerce being lifted, billions of dollars will be released into the Iranian economy. Coincidentally, Iran is also the “most active state sponsor of terrorism” in the world, according to the Council on Foreign Relations.

To add to the problem, the Iranian supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, shouted a phrase that roughly translates to “death to America” at a rally in Tehran in March of this year.

Iran clearly cannot be trusted to comply fully with the terms of the deal. In the event that Iran does comply, it must be noted that its supreme leader is speaking against the U.S. Even if Iran’s nuclear threat is neutralized, it certainly has the ability to be a thorn in the side of American diplomacy for years to come, whether in the form of action against the U.S. or against Israel.

In addition, Israel shares a border with Syria, which is currently going through a bloody civil war. Having an ally close to that international debacle could be key to the American approach to that situation, especially with Russia supporting the oppressive Assad regime.

Not only does Israel’s location allow the U.S. to check Iran, but it also allows the U.S. to check Russian interests and power in the region.

Another factor to take into consideration in Israel is the only democratic state — by American standards — in the Middle East.

Supporting Israel is simply smart diplomacy. Because they are our allies in a region of the world dominated by precarious governments, they are a key asset to American policy.

Israel is a state with free elections and a stable government. Due to Israel’s stability and heightened security measures, they have an excellent intelligence network, which works hand in hand with the American intelligence institutions.

It’s necessary that the U.S. supports Israel for its own foreign policy, even with U.S. policy evolving, especially in the Middle East, Israel has been a bastion of democracy for decades and will continue to be for the foreseeable future.

In a region where the major powers of the world are converging, their differing interests mean American support for Israel is of utmost importance and vice versa.

With Iran’s supreme leader chanting “Death to America” and the mess in Syria, a stellar ally in the Middle East is wildly important for the U.S. From a secular point of view, a strong relationship with Israel is necessary for the U.S. interests in the region. staranyi@indiana.edu

for his resignation is still unknown. Under Miller, IU had gone an even 32-32 and clinched a berth to the WNIT Tournament.

“She walked into a very tough situation,” Crean said.

“She walked into a much harder one than most people would believe, and I think she’s done a fantastic job.”

With just three upperclassmen of the 10 players on the team, Moren’s inherited team was young to say the least, as many of the athletes who played for Miller had either graduated or transferred.

The team that had finished eighth in the Big Ten with a record of 18-12 was gone and replaced by young talent in then-freshman guards Tyra Buss and Jess Walter, freshman forward Amanda Cahill and four sophomores.

“She walked in as part of the rebuilding phase and has had to put her stamp on it,” Crean said. “I love working with her. Working with her in recruiting? It’s easy. Her staff is very consistent and attentive to detail. They love Indiana, and the young ladies seem to really be buying into what she wants done.”

After former IU Coach Kelvin Sampson resigned in February 2008, five different NCAA recruiting allegations loomed above the program and interim IU Coach Dan Dakich led the Hoosiers to a first round ousting in the NCAA Tournament, as the Hoosiers lost four of their final eight games.

Crean was brought in as the answer on an eight-year contract.

“Indiana is a program that, even when I was not a Hoosier and at Indiana State, I watched as Tom built his program,” Moren said. “He walked into a rebuilding project, so I feel like we were in a similar situation coming in new. I’ve leaned on him for some wisdom, for some advice.”

Moren said Crean makes a conscious effort to influence the women’s program as much as he does the men’s by meeting with current and prospective athletes who are considering IU women’s

basketball.

“When I say meet with our athletes, I mean he will have 30- or 40-minute conversations with our studentathletes, prospective studentathletes and their moms and dads in his office,” Moren said.

She recalled one particular weekend when Crean was entertaining three men’s basketball recruits of his own but still met with prospective women’s basketball recruits. Moren said Crean gives that effort because he knows the importance of what each varsity sport is trying to do.

Moren said she watches the men practice and every time she leaves, she does so with something new to apply to her coaching. She emphasized Crean’s high energy, intensity and attention to detail.

“That’s what you’re supposed to do. We’re a team, right?” Crean said about his involvement in the women’s program. “I would want somebody doing that for me, and I’d want somebody doing that for my child. I would expect anybody, if they were the men’s coach at Indiana, knowing what that seat means at Indiana, to do that. For me, it’s easy.”

With the relationship between the men’s and women’s programs, Moren said she hears the chants and cries for Crean to be fired whenever the program suffers a big loss on — or off — the court.

“It irritates me,” Moren said. “What we do is incredibly tough, and it seems like people and fans on the outside think our job is really easy. I can tell you that there is no other guy that instills excellence and high standards for his team more than Tom.” Moren said she sees Crean as a tremendous basketball coach and a high-character human being, and, as she enters her second year as the women’s head coach, she said she feels lucky to be sharing Cook Hall with Crean.

“She’s going to have success, but people have to understand that it’s not like she walked into a down league,” Crean said. “It’s a hard league on the women’s side too. She’s going to have to be very patient. Year two is really, really hard.”

through the trail and they were impressed by the haunt’s safety measures. Elsworth told Keihn he’d even bring his family to the Trail.

Keihn might only need an entertainment permit.

Two days after their first meeting, Elsworth called.

“The state of Indiana loves what you’re doing, and you’re not required to have a permit,” he told Keihn.

The Trail’s owners thought that was the end of their troubles. As Cook enters the maze, he sees things much as they should be on opening night. There’s the giant clown mouth at the head of the Trail and, just beyond that, the platform where Kreepy will taunt entering visitors.

If the Organ Trail is a band, Kreepy is its flamboyant frontman. Cook is the twisted technical genius, who orchestrates the audience’s ups and downs. He recognizes the nuances — the way trapdoors conceal sound systems, the way monster-free hallways prime visitors for the next scare, the avocadogreen vintage refrigerator cementing the 1960s vibe of one scene.

But he also sees what’s lacking: barrels yet to be welded together, prosthetics yet to be installed and, littering the back deck, lights and fog machines yet to provide a spooky aura. With four days’ worth of building left, they’re stalled.

Soon after Elsworth’s call, Keihn heard from city building commissioner Craig Nichols, who he says ordered him to acquire a zoning permit, which the zoning office then told him he didn’t need.

The city nevertheless ordered him to halt construction.

“That was a slap in the face,” Keihn said.

Keihn said Nichols has offered the haunt a cityapproved space — a field at 1008 E. 20th Street — but it’s unusable, riddled with syringes, used condoms and ammunition. Even if the space weren’t so unsafe, they couldn’t move the maze in time, Keihn says.

Keihn and the city continue talks. Meanwhile, the Organ Trail is in purgatory. *** In the maze, Cook passes the carnival with its hall of hanging stuffed animals, the meat locker with its melted garbage bags covered in hair like human pelts, the junkyard with its car parts and spray-painted plea: “LET ME OUT.” “Hey, Little Bear,” he calls to his 4-year-old son, Dallas, who scampers by in camouflage “Duck Dynasty” pajamas. Cook predicts Dallas will inherit his part of the Organ Trail.

Keihn can also imagine a son taking over for him. He says Raigen’s twin Markus, now 3, is next in line for Kreepy. Markus’s favorite movie is “Killer Klowns from Outer Space.” Plus, Markus and Dallas have already formed a fraternal bond — Keihn calls them the “Brothers of Destruction.” They have a penchant for holding older kids against the wall and pelting them with Hot Wheels.

Keihn appears now from the corn maze, followed by a placid pit bull whose owner, Skylar Timmons, is recoverthat Xiao was possibly forcing her to provide him with large sums of money.

Moving on, Cook passes the spider web-covered “riverbed” and 11-year-old Dalton Stevenson practicing his “demonic child” act on a playset, laughing as he swings back and forth. He passes the “kid’s bedroom,” where his daughter will bounce on a bed, screaming.

Near the end of the maze, he arrives in the snake charmer room, where Keihn’s snakes — two ball pythons, two California kings and a rainbow boa — will make an appearance.

Keihn has another stereotypically spooky pet, a tarantula named Morticia.

When tarantulas grow, they molt and shed their exoskeletons and wriggle free.

Once, when Keihn went to check on the spider, he saw a molted exoskeleton and mistook it for Morticia.

Keihn says only two neighbors have complained about the haunt. One called them devil worshippers.

A couple drives by in a white Chevrolet van. The driver, a bald, middle-aged man, slows down and leans out the window.

“I seen you guys on the news,” he says. “They gonna get that stuff worked out?”

“I hope so,” Keihn says.

And if not, Keihn has a plan. They’ll still light up the Organ Trail, and the actors will stand out front in full costume. What’s the worst they can do — have him arrested for being a public nuisance?

“They’d have to arrest me in clown makeup,” he says.

“That’d hit media — that’d be a perfect promo for next year.”

The thought reminds him of a mugshot of Captain Spalding, the psychopathic clown character in “The Devil’s Rejects.” The film features Captain Spalding and his family of bizarre, sadistic killers as antiheroes. It ends with its protagonists refusing surrender and riding into a police barricade, a family of monsters fighting to the bitter end. according to the latest release.

TERRORS

MOVIE STILLS DATABASE

Beautiful and bold, “Crimson Peak” is the new twisted Gothic horror film from acclaimed director Guillermo del Toro.

As the main character, Edith Cushing, tries to escape the ghosts of her past, she comes face-to-face with some new ones.

A

t the heart of the Crimson Peak mansion is a gaping hole in the ceiling. Leaves and snow drift precariously through the hole, past the winding staircase and land into a heap on a sinking wooden floor. What perfect symbolism to describe the missing parts of the film “Crimson Peak.”

Edith Cushing — played by Mia Wasikowska — a young woman who resembles a Jane Austen character but strives to become the next Mary Shelley, is no novice to loss. The film begins and

ends with Edith’s haunting words, “Ghosts are real, that much I know. I’ve seen them all my life.” After losing her mother to the fatal “black collar” illness, Edith receives a future warning from the ghost of her departed matriarch when she is a child. “Beware Crimson Peak,” the phantom moans. If only the audience had taken this advice.

Aside from the mother ghost, we’re convinced for a good 20 minutes of the film that we’re watching a romance. Edith meets the suave and proper Thomas Sharpe, played by Tom Hiddleston, when he comes to America during the boom of its Industrial

Revolution with the hopes of gaining funds for his invention — a machine that unearths the red clay from his estate to make bricks. Sharpe charms Edith, but he has little luck with her father, an industrialist who scoffs at Sharpe’s ideas and his advances toward his daughter.

But an overbearing father isn’t the only harboring factor on this budding romance. Thomas’ stoic sister Lucille, played by Jessica Chastain, seems less than pleased about the new pair now that she has to SEE CRIMSON PEAK, PAGE 10

share the only family she has.

After a suspicious tragedy strikes for Edith once more, she’s whisked away by the Sharpes to their crumbling home at Allerdale Hall, better known to the locals as Crimson Peak.

In many ways, “Crimson Peak” is nothing the audience expects, but everything we expect.

Director Guillermo del Toro mentioned several times in interviews that this movie was a Gothic romance rather than a typical horror movie.

Essentially, it’s a rehashed theme from his works “Pan’s Labyrinth” and “The Devil’s Backbone.”

If you scare easily, this movie is surely to make you jump more than once.

Yet the horror an audience anticipates from “Crimson Peak” is non-existent. Yes, there are ghosts, hauntings, murder, stabbings and an ungodly amount of blood. But the true horror lies within the constant element of all Gothic romances: love.

In this film we see sides of true love, childhood love, toxic love, wrong love, love for mystery and love for invention.

But we learn even more about longing. We feel it in the characters’ breathy dialogues, from del Toro’s direction and the film itself.

And we long for “Crimson Peak” to be better than it is.

The turning point of the film is so predictable anyone with eyes and a semifunctioning attention span can guess what comes next.

Where are the twists, the turns? Give us death before you give us weak storylines.

But where the plot thins, Wasikowska picks up the slack with her character. Edith resembles everything we want from a Gothic heroine: hopes, dreams and an obsession with ghosts. Her devotion to her writing and her attempts to even mask her gender from publishing companies in order to make

PAGE 10 | OCT. 22, 2015 her way as a writer are fresh ideas to the simplistic female protagonist. And for once, a female character isn’t punished in a horror movie after losing her virginity. Edith is a fool in love, but she has the brains to untangle herself from the spider’s web.

Lady Sharpe, on the other hand, is a grave disappointment. Lucille remains trapped, not only in the vicious cycle of Crimson Peak but also in the tragic fate of a two-dimensional character. Her coldness isn’t the hallmark of a woman of means and her madness isn’t a flaw the audience can learn to see past — these are the only two aspects of her personality. Our female antagonist develops not out of abuse and neglect as her backstory tells us but from bad writing and sheer laziness. Most likely, Lucille’s shell of a character will be long forgotten, like a phantom that haunts Crimson Peak.

And if there’s one actor that truly shines in this dismal tale, it’s Hiddleston. It’s no surprise Hiddleston is familiar with Gothic elements and tragic plots. His portrayal of Thomas as the ruinous man caught between the past and the present is a classic we can’t get enough of. We all ache for Thomas — in our hearts and other unmentionable regions.

His pleading for success as a man of hard work rather than birthright and his longing looks at Edith brings hope in our eyes and flutters in our chests.

Yet two great characters are not enough to support the weight of an entire film.

If there’s anything that needs to be brought back to life, it’s this plot.

Yes, del Toro’s vision is powerful, the imagery shocking and the wardrobes are enough to fall in love with each character alone.

But like all those lost souls of Crimson Peak, we wanted just a little more.

Soderbergh directs one of the best shows on TV

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

‘The Knick’ Clive Owen, André Holland, Jeremy Bobb, Juliet Rylance AAs “Breaking Bad” and “Mad Men” reached their fitting conclusions and “True Detective” decided to end after its first season — that second season atrocity never happened — there seemed to be a prevalent worry about television faltering after its moment in the sun.

However, “Fargo,”“Mr. Robot” and “The Knick” are the newest one-hour dramas that have replaced the legends before them. “Fargo”

and “Mr. Robot” are both receiving the accolades and compliments they rightfully deserve, yet it seems “The Knick” is flying under the radar.

Cinemax’s period drama, which just started its second season that feels as fresh and relevant as anything else on screen, “The Knick” revolves around the professional and personal lives of the staff of New York’s Knickerbocker Hotel during the early part of the 20th century.

The show is loaded with acting talent, but it’s grounded by two phenomenal performances

by Clive Owen and André Holland. Owen plays Dr. John Thackery, a revolutionary doctor with a drug problem that clashes with his work.

His work rival Dr. Algernon Edwards, played by Holland,

is a black man dealing with racism. “The Knick” might be set in a different time, but Edwards’s struggles and complications are pertinent in today’s environment.

The acting and writing is superb, yet the one aspect that allows the show to enter the top slice of television programming is the directing.

Usually multiple directors who each have their own input on the way the show looks would direct a show of this magnitude due to the amount of work and design going into it. This allows for a multitude of fascinating approaches, but can sometimes be confusing as each episode looks like it’s a different show.

“The Knick” is solely run

by Steven Soderbergh, the director of films such as “Ocean’s 11,”“Traffic” and

“Magic Mike.” Soderbergh puts his mark on the show from the opening sequence.

Soderbergh is brilliant at navigating the camera through a scene.

He never has a stagnant camera and maneuvers in such a way that the characters feel vibrant. For example, there is one scene in the first episode of season two where two characters have personal problems, but in the background is the real A-story. The camera slowly pans around the individuals in the front in such a cinematic way it’s jarring on television.

Television is oftentimes an actor’s medium, yet on “The Knick” it is the movie-like directing that is the real star.

Demi Lovato is cool and confident in new album

Don Henley is still flying high ‘Cass County’ Don Henley B+

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

‘Confident’ Demi Lovato B Demi Lovato has come a long way from her “Camp Rock” days. She spent time finding herself, terrorized Simon Cowell for a few seasons of “X Factor” and seemed to close the gates to “La La Land” firmly.

But with her newest album “Confident,” Lovato has officially put the lock on.

We got our first taste of “Confident” during the summer when “Cool for the Summer” hit the radio waves.

The song shook up the mainstream audience in a way reminiscent of Katy Perry’s “I Kissed a Girl,” as Lovato admitted to having “a taste for the cherry.” Aside from the suggestive lyrics, its blend of gentle piano melody and gritty guitar riffs pulled you in easily.

“Cool for the Summer” promised a fun album, the perfect party playlist.

In reality, it was more of a Trojan horse that dropped you into Lovato’s darkest and most powerful album to date — and I, for one, am not complaining.

“Confident” is, at its core, a feminist record.

The first song and title track is a demand for better sexual performance, which is one hell of a way to start an album.

Lovato lets whoever her partner is know that she’s not accepting any B.S. with lines like “Not gonna fake it / Not when you go down / Cause this is my game / And you better come to play.”

The hook can get annoying if you listen to it too much, but it raises a fair question: “What’s wrong with being confident?”

The tone of the album saddens with “Stone Cold,” a tale of Lovato trying to feel happy for her ex when they move on to a new woman.

She sings “God knows I tried to feel happy for you / Know that I am, even if I can’t understand” and “If happy is her, I’m happy for you,” which

is perhaps the healthiest way I’ve heard someone sing about a breakup.

Iggy Azalea makes an unfortunate guest appearance in “Kingdom Come.” She starts out with “Gather around, now I’m back from my holiday,” but, by all means, Iggs, take an extended break.

The album ends on a cathartic note with the soulful ballad “Father” about Lovato’s late dad. Lovato had a difficult relationship with her father and forgives him through her lyrics “I know you were a troubled man / I know you never got the chance / To be yourself, to be your best / I hope that Heaven’s given you / A second chance.”

“Confident” is nothing less than an emotional journey, cliché as that might sound.

It’s obvious Lovato had a purpose for this album, and she delivered it loudly and clearly through her powerful vocal range and unapologetic lyrics.

Don Henley is back at it again and has just released the best album of his career.

The 68-year-old former lead singer for the Eagles released his first solo album in 15 years when “Cass County” was released Sept.

25. Contrary to the style of the Eagles, all 16 songs on the album reflect Henley’s country roots.

In his career with the Eagles, Henley was always associated with the California-style of music while singing about beach girls with sun-kissed skin and playing songs that made you want to put on some swim trunks and sunglasses and grab a nice margarita.

The band’s most recognizable hits are “Hotel California,”“Peaceful Easy Feeling” and “Lying Eyes,” but Henley has also written songs on his own for many years, including his top solo hit “The Boys of Summer.”

Despite Henley’s claims that he was not trying to make “the next Don Henley country album,” that’s basically what he did. He brought some new and classic country vocals to his songs in Miranda Lambert (“Bramble Rose”), Martina McBride (“That Old Flame”) and Dolly Parton (“When I Stop Dreaming”).

The Texas native emphasized that “Cass County” was a natural progression and that it reflects who he really is as a person and a musician, hence naming the album after the county in which he grew up.

But in the midst of a younger generation of country music, Henley’s

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

album debuted at the top of the country charts, something Henley has never seen in his solo career.

In a time where country music is dominated by “Bro-Country,” which mixes hip-hop tendencies with modern country ideas, Henley implements roots of classical country in his music.

Nowhere in “Cass County” does Henley sing about a southern belle dancing in the tailgate of a jacked-up pickup truck.

In fact, his songs are mainly about religion (“Praying for Rain”), growing older (“A Younger Man”), hard-working women trying to find answers in life (“Waiting Tables”) and growing up in a small town while dreaming of a more significant existence (“Train in the Distance”).

Despite being based on country rhythms, instruments and musical ideals, 14 of his 16 songs include a steel guitar, which is an instrument that was hardly present in classical country songs, but is featured in nearly all of today’s country. The steel guitar adds a bit of Henley’s rocker days with the Eagles to each of the 14 songs and is one of few reasons why “Cass County” isn’t one hundred percent classical.

Perhaps the most

interesting part about “Cass County,” though, is that Henley spent 15 years between albums purposefully reading and researching life through his own parenting and life after the age of 53 to grow into the man who was meant to sing the songs featured on the album.

He has said in the past that his father was never religious, and his mother was never solely committed to attending church on Sundays either.

He also spoke “a four letter word every fourth word.”

Yet religion is littered throughout the songs on the album, the biggest difference in his music since his last album.

The same year as Henley’s last album “Inside Job” was released in 2000, Kenny Chesney released “I Lost It,” Keith Urban released “Your Everything,” Toby Keith released “How Do You Like Me Now?” and Brad Paisley released “We Danced.”

Few of Henley’s songs on “Cass County” sound like any of those hits, but his album debuted at the top of the charts last week, proving that Henley and classical country can still sell albums and satisfy listeners in the United States.

IT’S ACTUALLY CERULEAN

Why do fabrics matter?

Do you ever pick a garment off a rack and fall in love with the color or the way it feels on your fingers?

Do you ever try on that same garment, only to find that it doesn’t fit right, the material is transparent or it feels too light to shield you from the cold?

There are a few ideas to understand before jumping to the conclusion about a garment’s fit. It could be that a garment does not fit you, rather than you not fitting the garment.

Fabrics have fiber contents and chemical properties that shape them, break them, wear them and tear them.

The blends of materials tell you how much the garment will stretch, if it needs to be dry cleaned, if it is sustainable in weather conditions and so on.

Of course, there are different types of clothing you wear for certain activities.

For instance, you would not wear the same clothes to go on a run as you would to attend a black-tie affair.

Aside from the obvious, there are certain brands and companies which have perfected their fiber contents and created timeless designs.

Levi’s, an expert in denim wear, blends a majority of cotton with a small portion of polyester — less than 10 percent — and a small fraction of elastane, another name for spandex.

Cotton gives the jeans body or shape, polyester gives the jeans strength so as to not fall apart and elastane makes the jeans stretch.

When comparing products, these contents are important to consider in understanding the quality of any garment.

Lower quality denim will

likely contain less cotton, which is the most expensive textile that goes into making a pair of jeans. Therefore, this pair will not have as distinct a shape and might appear unflattering.

Lululemon, a sporty girl’s go-to for yoga and activewear, contains luon, which is a fabric known for sweatresistance and recovery, and spandex, a synthetic fiber known for its extreme elasticity.

Both of these fabrics are high in quality, so a pair of leggings will last longer than the average nylon blend, which will pick up other colors in the laundry and possibly develop tiny balls of fuzz that eventually lead to the wearing away of a garment.

A durable handbag or backpack to carry around campus is an important staple for those who are on the go.

Longchamp’s Le Pliage bag contains a polyvinyl chloride coating inside its canvas. The canvas makes a distinct body to keeps its shape. The cowhide trimming ads detail and makes for a comfortable strap.

Aside from what we wear, fabrics are important in cook-wear, gardening materials and household goods.

So before thinking that the quality of a product does not matter, pay attention to the fiber content so you know what you are buying and what you can expect from the product.

Whether you are cooking, traveling, observing fashion trends or not, fabrics are apparent in every aspect of our lives.

Indie folk-rock band Saintsenca will perform at 9:30 p.m. Thursday at the Bishop. The band released its third album “Such Things” on Oct. 9.

Saintseneca uses lens of mind

By Jack Evans jackevan@indiana.edu | @JackHEvans

When he was writing lyrics for his indie folk-rock band Saintseneca’s third album, “Such Things,” frontman Zac Little had big ideas in mind — namely, the mind.

Little found himself fascinated with the interaction between consciousness and the tangible world, he said.

But he said he also wanted to apply that philosophical exploration to digestible music.

The resulting “Such Things” achieves that goal, he said. It released Oct. 9, and the group is now touring with a show set for 9:30 p.m. Thursday at the Bishop.

“I guess there’s a tendency to relegate our thoughts and our perceptions to just be this — almost of a different sort of realm,” Little said of the album’s thematic weight. “I guess one of the things I was thinking about for the whole album was what physical presence do those things have, and how do they work back and forth?”

He said he wanted to

explore the philosophical implications of those interactions and to embrace inquiry in an almost scientific way.

Though scientific and artistic inquiry might seem disparate, Little said there are similarities between using science to discover truth and using music to make sense of the world.

“If you look at something as fundamental as what you might call the scientific method, it’s really a strategy for looking at the world,” he said. “It’s a lens through which you can gaze into the world and make sense of it. It’s that level of authority that we give it and that search for truth in those terms — it’s something that’s appealing to me. It’s taking that and making a song about it.”

In applying those ideas to songs, Little said he drew inspiration from the psychedelic pop of the 1960s.

Rather than write throwback songs, however, he said he wanted to filter his own, more contemporary writing through those sounds.

Though Saintseneca

started as a stripped-down acoustic outfit, earning it a “folk” tag that’s stuck, Little said he has no interest in categorizing his band’s music, especially as it expands to include instruments from distorted guitars to drum machines to Mellotron.

“You could almost describe it on either end of the (musical) spectrum,” he said. “I don’t want to feel tethered to one thing or another. I just want to make songs, sounds, stuff like that.”

Saintseneca’s evolution stems from a variety of places, Little said. Part of it comes from his own personal tastes as, after a while in an acoustic band, it felt good to play an electric guitar or write a part for bass. Part of it comes from necessity as he felt unconfident and constrained in the acoustic setup as the band grew. And part of it comes from his bandmates, many of whom play in other successful indie rock projects, including Saintseneca’s current tour-mates, the Sidekicks and Yowler.

The musical prolificacy of Saintseneca members

mean the band has something of a rotating lineup, Little said. That can cause some logistical challenges, but it also means he gets to work with a wide variety of people, all of whom bring different musical approaches to the table, he said.

“You’ve got to try to figure out what that is for each person,” he said. “Rather than try to fight that or force someone to do something, it’s more of a matter of tapping into what they do that’s unique to who they are.”

With a touring lineup solidified for now and tour dates extending through the fall, Little said he’s most excited for people to hear “Such Things.” Though the ideas behind the record might be big, he thinks they’re relatable, too — after all, this is a pop record.

“It’s still about existing or something,” he said. “It’s about living your life or caring about people, about relating to people or having experiences because those things are all interconnected. Your experiences and your relationships are still subject to the forces that govern the natural world.”

Student team creates short film series

15/ 16 SEASON

IU seniors Matthew Brezina and Emelie Flower are a team.

Both telecommunications majors graduating in May, Brezina and Flower are production partners who have worked on multiple short films and projects together.

“We live together, we work together and basically everything we do, we do it together,” Flower said.

They are currently focusing on their short film series “Vanguard,” which details the lives of individuals who are somehow related to the vigilante called Vanguard and how their lives are affected by him.

Flower said they have been working on the “Vanguard” film series since last year when Brezina asked Flower to act in the series.

Brezina said it is up to the viewer’s own interpretation as to whether Vanguard is actually a hero or not.

After the first film for the “Vanguard” series, Brezina said they decided to continue the story, and this time Flower filmed it instead of acting. Since then, the two have been partners when it comes to film and production.

Brezina and Flower did not meet until the first semester of their junior year at IU, they said. Brezina said he originally wanted to be in SPEA, but he took a theater class he fell in love with and eventually became more interested in telecommunications and the production side of things.

Flower also said she started with acting but then moved toward production, where she fell in love with

BRIDGET MURRAY

Senior telecommunications majors Matthew Brezina and Emelie Flower have been working on their short film series “Vanguard” since last year. The series focuses on the lives of individuals that are related to the vigilante called Vanguard and how the individuals are affected by him.

camera work. In fact, part of the reason Brezina asked Flower to act in the first film of Vanguard was because she was in the telecommunications department, he said.

“I had seen her films before I even knew she had done them, and I was like, ‘Damn, these are really good,’” Brezina said.

Brezina is the writer and director of the “Vanguard” series, and Flower is director of photography and has co-directed two of the films.

Each film focuses on a new character and how their storyline somehow relates to Vanguard, the vigilante.

The duo said they are most proud of the third film of the series titled “Illusion.”

“Shooting that movie, wow, it was rough,” Brezina said.

They made “Illusion” for Campus Movie Fest, which Flower said is the largest student film fest in the world.

The film festival travels between campuses around the nation and challenges

students to make a 5-minute film in the period of one week.

Brezina and Flower wanted to shoot the film in a prison, but due to scheduling issues they said they were forced to shoot and edit the film in 36 hours.

“That about killed us,” Brezina said.

“Illusion” won best cinematography and best actor of the IU entries. The film also placed in the top 4 at the IU Campus Movie Fest, and the team had the opportunity to move on in the competition to the final film festival in Los Angeles.

“It’s really cool just to meet who did all these cool projects and see what everyone else is doing in the country,” Flower said.

After they graduate in the spring, both Flower and Brezina said they want to continue to pursue film.

Brezina said he wants to pursue film acting more than anything, while Flower said she would like to be a pro-

fessional cinematographer.

Although this is their last year together, Brezina said he is hopeful he and Flower and the rest of their team will work together again in the future.

“We want to end this year with a bang,” Brezina said.

They are about to shoot an independent project, to which he said the University is paying close attention. It is going to be new character storyline in the “Vanguard” series titled “Disdain.”

Flower said she doesn’t know what their plans are for Vanguard in the future, but she knows that they would like to continue and improve upon it.

“The biggest reason we do this is because of our team,” Brezina said.

Everyone on their team is the best at what they do, and they couldn’t have done it without them, Brezina said.

Flower and Brezina’s independent project, titled “Siren,” will premiere at the IU Cinema spring 2016.

Mathers exhibition highlights basketry after learning of her personal experience with the topic.

Jackson said the exhibition is both a celebration of never-seen artifacts and a statement on the city’s appreciation for the visual arts.

“Bloomington is a very craft-conscious community — many people here are interested in hand-made things,” Jackson said. “This exhibition holds special appeal for those who like to make things and for those who appreciate well-crafted objects made by hand.”

Sarah Hatcher, head of programs and education at Mathers, said there are layers of interest for all.

As part of having something for everyone, topics that will be discussed in this lecture touch on the importance of hand-made goods, tradition, cultural change and the environment, Hatcher said.

Jackson said Buhrow worked with similar artifacts from multiple Native American groups at the Smithsonian Institution, which gives her a different level of experience and curiosity.

“She is especially interested in questions such as how changing ecological circumstances impact basketry practices and how people learn complex craft techniques,” Jackson said. “IU is a great place to work on such questions.”

The most exciting part is delving into this specific col-

The Mathers Museum of World Cultures’ exhibition “Cherokee Craft, 1973” hones in on basketry and other crafts made by the Cherokee people in the 1970s. It is one of a few basketry-themed Themester exhibits at the museum this semester.

Emily Buhrow, a graduate student studying anthropology and folklore and the cocurator of the exhibit, will deliver a lecture at 4 p.m. Thursday on the topic and give a deeper look into the differences between the items and meanings they represent.

“IU and the greater Bloomington area is a place where the handmade is celebrated,” Buhrow said. “I hope that this exhibit highlights another community that people who live here can relate to. I also hope that ‘Cherokee Craft, 1973,’ demonstrates to visitors how art can serve many purposes and have many different meanings.”

These meanings include commercial items geared toward tourists and symbols of family, tradition and identity, Buhrow said. She said Cherokee basketry was the topic of her master’s thesis and she came to IU to continue research in that area.

Buhrow said Jason Baird Jackson, director of the Mathers Museum, approached her to co-curate

lection and how special these pieces are, Buhrow said.

“It’s an interesting assemblage of what many would consider typical Cherokee basketry from this period, but it also contains some less usual pieces as well, and I am excited to tell people about them,” Buhrow said.

Buhrow said she looks forward to sharing the history behind the baskets and the workers who make them with such care.

Hatcher said she felt informed just by helping to organize this program, but she looks forward to a deeper insight from Buhrow’s research background.

“I learn a lot whenever I’m involved with an exhibit, but lectures allow me to gain even deeper knowledge,” Hatcher said. “Emily is really knowledgeable and a very engaging person, so I’m really looking forward to hearing more from her.”

The lecture is appealing on more than just a topical level, Jackson said, because Buhrow is also a student at the University.

“Students often get really engaged when they learn about how a fellow student has been involved in a handson way with a major project like a museum exhibition,” Jackson said. “Students with interest in ecological issues, or in craft, or in Native cultures, or in the Appalachian region would all also get a lot out of the talk.”
