Police release sketch of suspect in sexual assault case From IDS reports
Bloomington Police Department officers responded to a report of an armed sexual assault that had taken place just before 3:08 a.m. Tuesday in Brownstone Terrace Apartments located on the 200 block of East 14th Street. The female victim, 22, said she heard someone knock on her front door. When she opened the door, she said a light-skinned black man
pushed his way into her apartment and forced her into her bedroom at gunpoint, according to a BPD press release. The victim is not an IU student, IU Spokesperson Mark Land said. The suspect allegedly sexually assaulted her in the bedroom and then fled the residence. The victim was taken to IU Health-Bloomington for a sexual assault exam. There were no serious injuries reported. The victim and suspect did not
know each other, BPD Capt. Joe Qualters said. The suspect is described as a light-skinned black man, believed to be under 6 feet in height with a thin build. He was wearing dark clothing and the weapon he was carrying was described as a black semiautomatic handgun, according to the release. The suspect may have had a prior nose fracture due to the bridge of his nose being described
as “crooked.” The victim also indicated that he had dark-colored tattoos on his neck with one continuing along the left side of his face and ending near the top of his left ear. The suspect has not yet been located and the incident remains under investigation. BPD urges anyone with information to contact BPD at 821-339-4477. Alyson Malinger

Brought to light Students remember victims in Beirut, Baghdad and Paris at candlelit vigil By Sarah Gardner gardnese@indiana.edu | @sarahhgardner
When the wind blew their candles out, they lit more. Students at a candlelit vigil for victims of the recent attacks formed a tight circle around dozens of lit candles at the Sample Gates on Tuesday night. The candles illuminated signs on the ground that bore the phrases “We Are Beirut,” “Nous Sommes Paris” and “We Stand for Peace.” “What ISIS wants is to divide us and put up walls between people of different nations and religions around the world,” senior Erik Troske said at the start of the vigil. “But we wanted to show solidarity with the French, the Lebanese, the Iraqi and with everyone in the world

It was originally only meant to be a small event, said senior Camille Chevalier, a student originally from France. However, they soon had the support of many of their friends and classmates as well as faculty. SEE VIGIL, PAGE 9
Ralliers support LGBT protections in Indianapolis By Anne Halliwell ahalliwe@indiana.edu | @Anne_Halliwell

LGBT rally members put a face to nondiscrimination action at the Indiana Statehouse on Tuesday afternoon. Freedom Indiana, an organization that argues in favor of legislation that protects LGBT Hoosiers from discrimination against their sexuality, gender or gender presentation, invited supporters to write letters, postcards or emails to lawmakers, communications director Jennifer Wagner said. Others showed up in person at noon to convey to legislators the importance of expanding protections for gender and sexual minorities, Wagner said. “Quite honestly, we live in a state where lawmakers don’t often hear
from people on the issues that are really, really important,” Wagner said. Tuesday, the unofficial start of the legislative season, was the organization’s first opportunity to get all of the lawmakers in the same area, Wagner said. Chris Paulsen, Freedom Indiana’s campaign manager, said four speakers, including a transgender man who had served in the military, the mother of a transgender son and a pastor who felt his granddaughter was inadequately protected under the current law, shared their stories in the Statehouse. After its fight against the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, Wagner said Freedom Indiana turned its attention to adding gender and SEE PROTEST, PAGE 3

After a relatively easy seasonopening win against Tennessee State, IU was in for a tough test against No. 24 Chattanooga. The Mocs entered Tuesday’s Preseason Women’s National Invitational Tournament quarterfinal clash against the Hoosiers with three consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances and 29-4 seasons. Despite an off night in shooting from sophomore point guard Tyra Buss, the Hoosiers rose to the challenge against the Mocs as they used a 12-0 start to the fourth quarter to put away Chattanooga, 54-43, at Assembly Hall. “What a terrific win for our basketball team and for our program,” IU Coach Teri Moren said. “We did it with the help of everybody. These players deserve it. They’ve worked extremely hard.” Despite shooting 6 of 15 from the floor, Buss finished with a game-high 16 points and added six rebounds and five assists to the cause. Sophomore forward Amanda Cahill splashed a pair of clutch 3-pointers to finish with 13 points. Cahill corralled seven boards in the win. “I can’t let that get to me,” Buss said about having an off night. “I have to keep attacking regardless of whether or not my shot’s falling, I have to look to pass more and create better shots for my teammates.” IU trailed the Mocs, 37-35, at the end of the third quarter after freshman forward Kym Royster scored at the buzzer. Royster would go on to score the first four points of the final frame to put Chattanooga on its heels.

Shane Bitney Crone answers audience members' questions after a screening of “Bridegroom” on Tuesday night in Whittenberger Auditorium.
Film highlights GLBT issues By Julie Masterson julmaste@indiana.edu
In the face of tragedy and intolerance, one documentary proves love, regardless of sexual orientation, can bring light to even the darkest of circumstances. The Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Student Support Services Office presented a screening of the award-winning documentary “Bridegroom” followed by a question-and-answer session with the film’s codirector, Shane Bitney Crone, at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the Indiana Memorial Union’s Whittenberger Auditorium. The screening was cosponsored by the GLBT Alumni Association, Union Board and Residential Programs and Services. “It both educates and inspires,” said Doug Bauder, the director of the GLBTSSS Office. The film depicts the
emotional journey of Crone and his late boyfriend, Tom Bridegroom, whose relationship was cut short after Tom’s accidental death in 2011, according to the film’s website. A year after Tom’s death, Crone created a YouTube video about his experience titled “It Could Happen to You,” according to Crone’s website. The 10-minute video recounts the couple’s story, including the series of injustices Crone faced in the aftermath of Bridegroom’s death. The video, which received more than 3.4 million views and has been translated into more than 20 different languages, was named among GLAAD’s “Most Inspiring Videos that Helped Push Equality Forward in 2012,” according to the documentary’s website. Jacob Morehead, an IU senior studying French and tourism, organized the event. “I think it’s important for students to watch these documentaries because it
gives them the opportunity to learn about something that they may not have searched for on their own,” Morehead said. Bauder said the documentary is effective because it helps students to think creatively about dealing with grief, which he said is something most students experience at some point during their college careers. “It’s an example of what on person has done,” Bauder said. “I think stories are powerful in our lives, and this is a story of someone close in age to students who did something very creative in response to a horrible situation.” Furthermore, Bauder said, the film serves as an example of the way in which people can find the power within themselves not only to survive but thrive in the face of adversity. “It also represents the power of one person,” Baud-
er said. “Shane, who’s in the movie and directs it, does some pretty noble things as a result of his partner’s death in light of a lot of hatred that he experiences from his partner’s family.” However, Bauder said the film is more than an emotional roller coaster. “It’s not just something you watch to have a good cry,” Bauder said. “You watch it to think about how someone overcame the impact of the death of a loved one.” Morehead said above all the documentary is an example of the universality of love as a human experience. “I would say that I would want people to understand that it’s simple: people are people,” Morehead said. “People love, people hurt, people aren’t always happy, but when you get to know a person, you get to know what they have to offer, and how they can help you just as much as you can help them.”
IU community talks racial climate By Carley Lanich clanich@indiana.edu | @carleylanich
Minority students on campus want change. Senior Robert Sherrell stood before administrators and fellow students in a meeting called by Dean of Students Harold “Pete” Goldsmith on Tuesday evening in the Indiana Memorial Union’s Georgian Room after a threat that circulated on the anonymous social media app Yik Yak last week. Sherrell said he was assaulted by two white men on his way to an interview in downtown Bloomington to discuss diversity and the climate of minorities on campus. After the attack exacerbated a preexisting shoulder injury, Sherrell said his attackers watched and laughed as he asked for help. Frustrated by a lack of bystander support, Sherrell called 911 for the first time in his life. Sherrell said the Bloomington Police Department officers that responded had no sense of urgency. The officers told him “this stuff happens,” Sherrell said. Sherrell spoke to Provost Lauren Robel in the IU
Health Center waiting room after the attack. He asked her to send an IU-Notify alert to warn students on campus that his attackers had not been identified. “I am an IU student,” Sherrell said. “I live in Bloomington. My safety is a concern, or at least it should be. Show me, show me this is a concern.” The University did not send an alert. Instead, students learned of the attack from Sherrell personally or via social media. Sherrell said the lack of an IU-Notify alert contributes to a mindset on campus where a majority of students do not believe racism exists. “See, one of the problems is the people on this campus — the people who a majority aren’t in this room right now — feel like our struggles as people of color and our oppression is not real,” Sherrell said. “And you want to know why they don’t think it’s real? Because they don’t know it’s happening.” Robel, sitting across the table, said BPD is investigating the incident thoroughly. Robel said she also found out about the incident via social media before she contacted
Sherrell at the IU Health Center. “That’s unacceptable,” Robel said. “It is unacceptable to find out that something like this happened to you on a social media as opposed to a contact immediately from the BPD.” IU Police Department Chief Laury Flint, who was asked by Robel to attend the meeting, said despite BPD’s having first responded to the event, students could call IUPD as well and IUPD does not mind responding to incidents that have already been reported. “I am available 24-7, 365,” Flint said. “If you call dispatch and you don’t get the response you think you should be getting, you need to go further than that. You need to let me know about it.” Flint and Robel also outlined the IU-Notify policy by emphasizing in order to send an alert, a threat must be present that prompts students to take an action, such as to shelter in place or avoid a specific location. “So where was that action about not going to the Kirkwood area where the attack happened?” a student asked. Sherrell, who has been
heavily publicized as IU’s first stand-up comedy major in local media and on-campus tours, said he felt as if he had been used as a recruitment tool. “How can you, as a university, value my skin color, value the work that I’ve done in my craft, but don’t value me?” Sherrell asked, pounding his fist on the table. Sherrell asked two things to come as a result of the meeting: an alert be sent about his attack and mandatory cultural training be implemented at the University. Before Sherrell spoke up, Robel and Goldsmith, highlighting administrative efforts to improve the campus’ cultural climate, pointed to an audit recently completed of University-wide diversity efforts by the Office of the Vice President for Diversity, Equity and Multicultural Affairs. Sidney Harris, a Cox Scholar, said institutional efforts do not go far enough and suggested that the administration consider financial and cultural retribution. “There has to be an institutional mandate of something to make these things happen at a large scale,” Harris said.
After taking a few deep breaths, IU Provost Lauren Robel began addressing recent events around the world and around campus. Robel’s comments marked the start of the Bloomington Faculty Council meeting Tuesday. She said she was stunned by recent events in Paris but was pleased by how quickly IU was able to determine that all IU faculty and students were safe. Robel went on to discuss her disappointment in recent incidents at the University of Missouri, IU and schools around the country involving racist comments and threats. “It does break my heart to hear the ways in which our students walk around with the burden, the additional burden, of being minority students on a campus full of majority students,” Robel said. After her comments, the meeting continued with its agenda, which included a report from the athletics committee and a report on the Child Care Coalition. Fred Glass, vice president and director of athletics; Professor David Daleke, chair of the athletics committee; Professor Kurt Zorn, faculty athletics representative; and Professor Jessica Gall Myrick, representative to the Coalition on Intercollegiate Athletics, led the discussion from the athletics committee. The athletics committee, along with the faculty athletic representative, “works to evaluate and ensure the academic integrity of the intercollegiate athletics program, to facilitate institutional control of athletics and to enhance the student–athlete experience,” according to the agenda. Glass discussed the programs and activities on which the athletics committee has been working and how they rank among similar programs in the country. Many of these programs aim to increase diversity, community service, internships and study abroad programs, and education on health, nutrition, drugs and alcohol. One large program was the Student-Athlete Bill of Rights, which was created

in the summer of 2014. The bill of rights is the first of its kind in institutions in the country and gives studentathletes rights and benefits in terms of education, scholarship and health and wellness. Glass also complimented the faculty and coaches from the athletics department. “I think it’s fair to say that we take as much time in choosing our coaches as you take in recruiting your colleagues,” Glass said. “I think we’ve had some really good results with that.” A large part of including head coaches is inviting them to each committee meeting to share their points of views and help them represent studentathletes, Daleke said. “That has been very illuminating and also very encouraging to hear both their athletic and academic philosophies,” he added. After the report from the athletics committee, Tim Dunnuck, coordinator of Child Care Services, gave the report of the Child Care Coalition. Dunnuck gave brief descriptions of each childcare facility on IU’s campus. Currently, five University-sponsored childcare centers exist on campus. Three are professionally staffed, state licensed and nationally accredited. Each center is responsible for its own enrollment but gives priority to families with an IU affiliation. The report gave a brief history of childcare at IU but focused on the remaining issues and concerns. These concerns included increasing student family fee discounts, teacher salaries and enrollment slots for children under the age of three. The biggest concerns for childcare services is trying to obtain more funding and increasing enrollment slots, Dunnuck said. Currently, the number of enrollment slots is only 180. Adding slots is a big goal for the coalition, Dunnuck said, but will require more funding, which can be difficult. He said one of the goals of Herman B Wells was to make IU a family-friendly campus. “Childcare is a big part of being a family-friendly campus,” Dunnuck said.

Court upholds conviction in Behrman murder The Indiana Supreme Court decided not to consider an appeal from the man convicted of killing IU student Jill Behrman in 2000. John Myers II received a 65-year prison sentence in 2006 for killing Behrman, who was on a bike ride in Bloomington when she
Muslims react to Paris attacks By Taylor Telford ttelford@umail.iu.edu | @ttelford1883
In the women’s bathroom on the second floor of Ballantine Hall, scrawled sentiment stands out amid the dialogue. “I’m a Muslim. No one will sit next to me in class. I’m not a terrorist, guys.” Discrimination against Muslims has escalated since the attacks in Paris last Friday, and many in the Muslim community say they fear the waves of Islamophobia that follow incidents of terrorism, IU junior Dana Khabbaz said. Khabbaz said she worries about the repercussions of the latest ISIS atrocity and how it is being interpreted by some. “I’m pretty scared for my family and friends” Khabbaz said. “I’ve heard about minor acts of terror toward Muslims — attacks on Muslim homes and threats on mosques.” Khabbaz said her sister, who is only 11, has received major backlash from her classmates. “Other kids are saying things to her like, ‘We should bomb all the Syrians,’” Khabbaz said. “It’s so sad to hear things like that coming from kids. They have no filters, and they take awful things they hear at home and say them out in public.” After a tragedy, people scramble for explanations and somewhere to place blame. Rather than blaming the individuals responsible, some condemn an entire religion, said IU professor Nazif Shahrani, who teaches a course about the War on Terror. “Islam has become associated with terrorism because the people committing these atrocities suggest they are doing so for religious reasons,” Shahrani said. “These people are not Muslims. They are criminals, and they are motivated by politics.” Khabbaz said she is glad not everyone is lumping terrorists and Muslims together. “They’re taking something we hold so dear and doing something horrible to it,”

Dana Khabbaz speaks in front of a group gathered for a candlelight vigil held in light of the recent terrorist attacks in Paris and Beirut. "Keep those in Syria and Iraq in thoughts as well, as it is not over for them," she said. "We stand with the people of Beirut, we stand with the people of Paris, we stand with the people of Baghdad, we stand with the people of all of these locations that have suffered at the hands of terror.”
Khabbaz said. “I actually expected a worse backlash, but I’ve seen a lot of people speaking up about the fact that we cannot define an entire religion by this.” Still, many people, including public figures, think Islam breeds these violent acts. Following the attacks in Paris, political commentator Ann Coulter tweeted “Don’t want terrorism in the U.S.? Stop importing Muslims!” A lack of exposure to Muslims and their culture causes misinformation, said Fariha Hossain, president of IU Muslim Student Association. “People tend to define their views by those they are surrounded by,” Hossain said. “Without a personal contact with someone who is Muslim, they define their understanding by other things, like what they see in the media, which is negative nine times out of 10.” It’s lack of understanding and empathy that led to many U.S. governors, including Indiana’s Mike Pence, to declare they will no longer accept Syrian refugees in their states,
Khabbaz said. This reaction came after a Syrian passport was found with one of the supposed attackers, However, all confirmed Paris attackers were of French origin, according to the New York Times. “We have to remember the reason these people are refugees,” Khabbaz said of Syrians seeking relocation. “Killings like the ones in Paris aren’t even news in Syria. They’re fleeing the same thing that governors are allegedly trying to protect people from by denying refugees entry.” Political posturing, such as banning Syrian refugees, does nothing to solve greater problems, Shahrani said. “This scapegoating that politicians are doing is a tragedy,” Shahrani said. “They’re using religion as a way of avoiding policies and practices that have gone on far too long without any critical examination.” Shahrani said many outlets fail to acknowledge that ISIS has killed large numbers of Muslims — more than 10,000, according to statistics
from the United Nations and death tolls from the suicide bombings in Beirut and other mass killings this year. It will take a major change of mindset to address the problems of terrorism and what they mean in the modern world, Shahrani said. “The causes are never discussed, just the consequences and often horrible tragedies,” Shahrani said. “We get very excited and then try to blame and overgeneralize, but I don’t think blaming it on religion and Islam is going to fix anything.” Hossain said she takes pride in her religion and hopes her confidence will show those around her that there is no reason to fear Muslims. “Sometimes it feels like a race between Muslims and people who are becoming more and more fearful of Islamic people and culture,” Hossain said. “If you portray yourself with a level of confidence and let your personality show through, people are more understanding.”

sexuality to Indiana’s existing civil liberties act. Gender and sexual minorities can still be fired or denied housing because of their sexuality or gender identity, Wagner said. “I don’t want to say that RFRA was a good thing for Indiana — it was a terrible thing for Indiana — but it shed a light that these issues are still (here),” Wagner said. Republican leadership sent a draft of a bill Tuesday that could, upon passing, provide more protections for LGBT Hoosiers. The bill “prohibits discriminatory practices in acquisition or sale of real estate, housing, education, public accommodation, employment, the extending of credit, and public contracts based on military active duty status, sexual orientation or gender identity.” However, the bill also “provides protection for religious liberty and conscience.” The bill states it will establish policies to protect organizations, employers or religious affiliates from unfounded charges of discrimination apart from protecting Indiana residents from discrimination based on their “actual or perceived” sexuality or gender identity. The bill also claims it will protect an individual’s rights to religious beliefs and conscience. Some of the language proposes fining complainants as much as $1,000 if a complaint appears “frivolous” or “intended to harm the subject of the complaint.” The bill also addresses gay marriage and states that no local agency may refuse to issue or withhold a marriage license or permit. “Just updating our existing (civil liberties) code is pretty simple,” Paulsen said. “Adding gender and sexual identity to the existing bill is cleaner.” Paulsen said the language already works to pro-
tect Indiana residents based on age, race, religion and sex — and using the same words to cover LGBT residents is Freedom Indiana’s goal. Paulsen cited a memo by former Republican pollster Christine Matthews of Bellwether Research, which indicated many Indiana residents support adding sexuality and gender identity to Indiana’s civil rights law. According to the memo, 55 percent of poll respondents supported adding LGBT protections to the civil rights law, while 33 percent opposed doing so. Eighty-six percent of respondents said they thought LGBT residents faced some sort of discrimination, and more than half characterized the level of discrimination as “a great deal,” rather than a moderate amount. The memo also delved into political repercussions for lawmakers who did not support LGBT non-discrimination. According to the poll, 47 percent of voters indicated they would be more likely to vote for a governor who supported LGBT civil rights. Thirty-two percent indicated they would be less likely to support that candidate. Paulsen estimated between 275 and 300 people attended the short, middle-of-the-day rally. She said about 5,300 letters were also passed along by clergy members who support Freedom Indiana’s goal. The letters — many written by invested supporters of gay and transgender civil liberties — were organized by lawmakers and dropped off before the rally, Wagner said. After this first contact, Freedom Indiana and its affiliates will continue contacting Indiana lawmakers through the legislative session, Wagner said. “We’ll be back in January,” Wagner said. “This is something we know we have to keep pushing for — it’s not going to happen without that grassroots effort.”
Local teenagers attempt to write novels in one month By Emily Beck emebeck@indiana.edu | @emebeck1
A group of teenagers sat together Tuesday night, their eyes glued to laptop screens as they typed furiously and listened to pop music. All of them are trying to pound out a novel in one month. November is National Novel Writing Month — shortened to NaNoWriMo — and participants have 30 days to finish a 50,000 word novel. The teens meeting at the Ground Floor are part of NaNoWriMo’s Young Writers Program, which allows them to set their own goals. Anna Koesel, 13, is shooting for 30,000 words. “I really love YA and coming-of-age novels,” she said. “I wanted to do something like that.” Her story focuses on a character who writes a show for a school assignment that is unexpectedly chosen to be turned into a musical theater production. Koesel said a lot of her

characters are based on people she knows. This is her third year participating in NaNoWriMo. The group meets in the back room of the Ground Floor, a space for teens at the Monroe County Public Library. NaNoWriMo began in 1999 and became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 2005. People from six continents participate every year, and last year 325,142 people took part. This is the first year a group just for teens has met at the library. Becky Fyolek, the teen librarian, is behind it. She said the meetings are driven by the kids’ needs. Sometimes they talk about writing strategies or how to overcome writers’ block. Other times, the group gives and receives feedback about its stories. “Today they seem to be very focused on writing, because they can see the end,” she said. Assisting Fyolek is Bloomington author Annette Oppenlander. Both leaders are
working on novels of their own. “It is hard,” Oppenlander said, “(but) it can be done ... This is a first draft-type thing. There’s not supposed to be any stopping, any editing, any criticism ... you don’t have this editor, you have to kick him off your shoulder.” Oppenlander is using the month to work on editing the third novel in a trilogy she has written. This is her first year doing NaNoWriMo, and she said she’s enjoyed spending time with the group of teenagers. The library has offered them a place to come together, she said. She has seen a mixture of gender, age and backgrounds — middle schoolers, high schoolers, kids who are home-schooled — all have been part of the group. “It seems like a good place for kids to mingle and share,” she said. “That sort of connects them together.” Wolfe Allen, 15, said the camaraderie is helpful in the

finish a story he began writing in September about a group of kids raised by their grandparents and who believe their parents are dead. When one of the characters finds out his father is alive, he leaves the country to
find him. “He’s going to find his father eventually and probably his love interest as well,” he said. “I just came up with it one day, and I was like, ‘This should be a book. I’m going to write it.’”

“Anybody who thinks I could get away with telling Michelle I’m going to be president any longer than eight years does not know my wife,” he said. We’ve heard a lot of lies about Obama but this? Come on. Thanks, Obama.

Deck the halls with insensitivity WE SAY: Target should get a conscious and take this sweater off the shelves The holiday season is fast approaching, and with it, retailers are stocking their shelves with Christmasthemed merchandise. Some however, don’t know the line between products that display enthusiasm over the holidays versus products that gloss over important issues like mental illness. Target recently found itself in trouble when it began selling holiday sweaters with the words “OCD: Obsessive Christmas Disorder” printed on the front of them. The Editorial Board believes Target must stop selling these sweaters
immediately. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, obsessive-compulsive disorder is an anxiety disorder that affects roughly 2.2 million adults in America. The disorder makes people perform some of the same rituals, like counting objects, over and over again to relieve the symptoms of anxiety they feel when they think about thoughts that are upsetting. By taking the letters OCD and re-appropriating them into the term “Obsessive Christmas Disorder,” Target is not acknowledging the debilitating effects of OCD and is using OCD as a joke to sell
merchandise. While a Target spokesperson apologized for the sweaters, according to Fortune magazine, the Editorial Board argues the store should go another step further and stop selling the sweaters altogether. One of the reasons people living with OCD don’t reach out and get help for their disorders is because they’re afraid of facing stigma from people. Seemingly harmless jokes like rephrasing OCD as “Obsessive Christmas Disorder” play into this dilapidating stigma that prevents people with mental health issues
from getting appropriate help and treatment. According to the International OCD Foundation, some studies show that only about one in three people who have OCD will disclose their symptoms with their medical provider. “Unfortunately, joking about mental illness is part of the problem,” the foundation has stated on its website, iocdf.org. “It perpetuates the idea that OCD is something that someone should be able to just ‘get over’ already. It infers that a person who can’t get over it is somehow weak or defective. It makes people hide their illness from friends and family, despite
the fact that a strong support network is often the thing that makes treatment work.” By continuing to sell these sweaters, despite previously apologizing for them, Target is still sending the message to its consumers that OCD is a joke and shouldn’t be taken seriously. Through this action, this retailer is claiming that OCD is just a funny quirk some people have because they’re obsessed with gingerbread men, candy canes and other aspects of the holiday season. Even though mental health issues are easier to hide than physical illnesses,
they should be treated just as seriously. OCD, if not treated properly, can lead to major changes in a person’s life. Some people afflicted with the disorder might let their rituals interrupt their daily lives, to the point where they may spend up to an hour each day on harmful thoughts and rituals, according to NIMH. The least Target could do is to remove the sweaters from its stores and issue a statement supporting those living with OCD. If it doesn’t, it will only continue to perpetuate the deadly culture of stigma that exists in America regarding mental illness.
PEYTON’S PERSPECTIVE
A SLICE OF SOMETHING REAL
Starting a movement with SlutWalks
Breaking up with our humanity
After a Toronto police officer’s advice to women for staying safe on campus was to dress less like “sluts in order not be victimized,” the first SlutWalk was born, according to thinkprogress.org. That was four years ago. As you might guess, the officer’s remarks sparked outrage in women across the globe. The first SlutWalk was conducted to take back the degrading term “slut” and the idea women are responsible for the sexual violence enacted upon them. This past October, a new spokesperson and activist for the cause, Amber Rose, has brought a attention to the term “slut” and these SlutWalks. She has experienced slut-shaming for being a stripper as well as for her sexual history with Kanye West and her son’s father, Wiz Khalifa. With Rose’s large social media platform and celebrity status, she was the host of one of the largest SlutWalks. Hundreds of walkers —men and women — joined Rose in Los Angeles’ Pershing Square. Walkers were encouraged to wear whatever they wanted, and they did, wearing everything from lingerie to being topless. Rose discussed her first experience of being slut-shamed at 14. She also noted West’s comment saying he “needed ‘30 showers’ after
being with her” and Khalifa’s saying she was nothing but a stripper, according to CNN. Rose’s goal in the SlutWalk was not only to reduce the derogatory degree of the term “slut” but to be inclusive of all groups of people who are marginalized and shamed. On her SlutWalk Los Angeles website’s homepage it reads, “...we recognize that shaming, oppression, assault and violence have disproportionately impacted marginalized groups, including women of color, transgender people and sex workers, and thus we are actively working to center these groups in this event.” I find these SlutWalks to be amazing because not only are they asking for victims of sexual assault to not be slutshamed but they’re inclusive in asking sex workers, transgender people and women of color not be as well. Rose hasn’t stopped her feminist activism at the SlutWalk either. At this year’s MTV Video Music Awards, she and Blac Chyna wore clothing with derogatory terms written all over them, such as “gold digger,” “whore” and “stripper.” Rose also participated in a Funny or Die video, “Walk of No Shame.” The video shows Rose walking out of a house in what looks to be the clothes

she was wearing the night prior. One of my favorite parts is when a mailman walks up to Rose after she tells him she did, indeed, have sex last night and says, “Sounds like you’re living your best life.” As I am someone who hates the word “slut,” I support Rose’s activism to end slut-shaming not only for victims of sexual assault and rape but women who are sex workers and women who are sexual beings. By the way, all women are sexual beings. Just as all men are. Just because we are women doesn’t change our sexuality, nor does the clothing we wear determine our consent. I never understood the reason behind being called a slut. Who gets to determine who is a slut based on their sexuality, gender or field of work? More importantly, why aren’t men ever called sluts? As for me, I’m going to follow Rose’s direction. Rather than shaming women with the word “slut,” instead I’m going to use it to empower myself and other women. prhurst@indiana.edu @IDSPeyton
In a world where apps on your smartphone can eradicate any form of human interaction in order to avoid even the slightest bit of social anxiety, there is now a service that breaks up with your partner for you. It’s called the Breakup Shop. For the low price of $10, an employee of the Breakup Shop will send a text or email to your significant other assuring them your relationship is now over, according to the Atlantic. If you feel as though a text message or email is too impersonal, a letter is an option for an upcharge of $10 to bring the cost to $20. There are many more options, including various personalization options and phone calls, all for an extra charge. I know breakups are painful, awkward and no one under any circumstances wants to break up face to face, but seriously? We really need to pay strangers to break up with our partners for us? I am the first one to admit I am guilty of the cowardly text-message breakup due to the same anxiety and fear of my partner’s reaction. So I get it.
This service clashes one of the worst human interactions with all your emotions by almost completely removing you from the situation. The service even directs the person being broken up with to the other end of the Breakup Shop, which offers a Blu-Ray of ‘The Notebook” ($25), a set of two 18oz. wine glasses ($15) and a box of Chips Ahoy! Rainbow Cookies ($5)” to help ease the transition back to singledom. But is the Breakup Shop actually helping anyone? The Atlantic claims one of the founders of the Breakup Shop, MacKenzie, got the idea for the service when a girl whom he was seeing casually just completely broke off communication when she was done seeing him instead of telling him things between them were over. Sure, knowing there is a concrete end to a relationship of any kind is nice, but do we really want to hire strangers to end a relationship for us when it is much better, albeit harder, to do it ourselves? I know I keep asking this question, but it’s important to emphasize the stranger element. It seems like the times
Rachel Miller is a senior in art history and political science.
are moving toward an increased state of human isolation, where we can even skip talking to a fast food worker when ordering our Chipotle or Taco Bell by ordering online. With apps and online services making human interaction less necessary, less important and easier, will the need for relationships become less important or necessary? The online ordering trend for fast food restaurants makes more sense than the Breakup Shop, where you can skip long lines and expedite the process of ordering when you have a time limit. The Breakup Shop isn’t providing us with a service so much as it is providing us with an excuse to be less connected to each other. Please learn from my mistake. Texting or emailing your partner to end a relationship isn’t fair, especially when you hire a stranger to do it for you. rcm2@indiana.edu @RachelCMiller1

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Islamophobia in Bloomington harms us If we can learn anything from the events of the past few weeks in Bloomington, the attack at Sofra Cafe in particular, it’s that not even the ideal liberal college town is immune from the insidious racial hatred that underlies U.S. culture. Even here, with the slick varnish of modern cosmopolitan education and “fair trade” boutiques, there are still gangs of Neo-Nazis openly demonstrating in the streets — with police protection — and columns of four-wheel-drive trucks brandishing confederate flags. The liberal and the reactionary aspects of Bloomington aren’t so far apart as they might appear. One side openly embraces what the other ignores — the fact that the foundation of U.S. society is the exploitation of the great majority of the world’s population. Both benefit from the wealth extracted from the
world’s poorest nations by the imperial military-industrial complex. For the past 30 or so years the full weight of the American empire has come down on the heads of Muslim majority nations, a reality reflected here in the xenophobic hatred and harassment of Muslim people. U.S. imperialism is the real foundation for both the material wealth of a town like Bloomington and the white-supremacist ideology that accompanies it. The word “Islamophobia” has been on the tongues of Bloomington residents for the past couple weeks and though it is a real phenomenon, there has been a great amount of confusion as to what it really is. We disagree with the Indiana Daily Student that it begins with “judgement” or rather misjudgment. The type of racism that drove
Triceten Bickford’s attack does not just drop from the sky. Bickford and reactionaries like him adopt their fanaticism from the well-crafted imperialist lies that justify the colonization of Muslim majority countries. The U.S. government and its corporate media mouthpieces propagate the paranoid fantasy of “Islamic extremists” that might be hiding around any corner or in any mosque. The fear of extremists is expanded to Muslims in general and especially to Muslim women for whom the hijab has become a coded image of otherness. Despite his expulsion from the University and condemnation from the community, the structure that produced Bickford’s particular brand of white-supremacy remains. The U.S. is still reigning terror across North Africa and the Middle East.
On Oct. 15, President Obama announced his intent to continue the occupation of Afghanistan beyond 2017, reversing his much lauded campaign promise. When will we lose faith in the ability of our government to reform itself? Until we do, until we realize politics in the U.S. is not a game of competing visions for a better society but a contest to determine who will manage the affairs of the empire, then the hate will never disappear. Can we expect Islamophobia to pass from our streets when John Kerry, a principal architect of U.S. imperialism, is welcomed as a great statesman to our university? Can we expect IU students to transcend nationalism when their professors are funded to perfect drone technology? We don’t think so. Students Against State Violence
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Sharing sentiments, highlighting support at IU I am sharing my deepest sentiments with Yaolin’s mom as the article published in the IDS on Oct. 27 got me overly emotional. Being a mother of three girls, aged 20, 18 and 14, respectively, from Ghana and knowing how our culture has helped us groom our daughters in a way that no other external culture can easily subsume our children and turn them away from us, I definitely felt for Yaolin’s mom and her sister. This is definitely a wakeup call for all parents, especially mothers to be extra close to our daughters to make sure they are doing well in school and personal life. Parents of international students spend lots of money, at times selling property and expensive jewelry in addition to emotional support for our children to study abroad. Even though the Chinese
government supports its students to study abroad, which is excellent, I know parents still spend so much money and time to make their children feel at home in the United States. As an associate instructor for the past four years here at IU, I have taught a lot of international students, including Asians, and have gradually drawn closer to know them and how they feel about issues. Considering how reserved they are in class, I always encouraged them to come to my office hours, and most of them were open enough to share their problems with me, which I directed them to appropriate offices on campus for help and support. What makes me sad the most is that there are lots of associate instructors and
faculty members/undergraduate advisors who open their doors to all students that Yaolin could have taken advantage of considering that most of us are really approachable. And then I am also surprised that Yaolin did not at least turn to the Office of International Services. IU has one of the best international services that ever existed on any campus here in the U.S. that I know of. As a graduate student I have benefited from the OIS in terms of advising, need-based fees, immigration advising — you name it, this office opens up to every single international student on campus. However, let me quickly mention that as much as the OIS is quite receptive to all international students on campus, they are also very strict
with policies that need to be adhered to. As I ponder about why Yaolin didn’t contact OIS about her situation, could it have been for fear of deportation? Or fear of being kicked out of IU? If so, her case is even not a policy issue so she would have been given the necessary support needed to get her out of her abusive condition. Meanwhile, I’m still surprised about Yaolin because mothers are very close to their daughters so “why didn’t you call your mother?” I hope this will be a wake up call to all and sundry, the question is: where will you take advice? “Friends, OIS, CAPS, professors, associate instructors, coaches, mentors?” Nana Amoah IU doctoral student

A missed opportunity by Indiana Daily Student Our campus was most fortunate Wednesday evening, Nov. 11, to listen to a knowledgeable and widely-known scholar and author, Dr. Joy DeGruy, share her work on “post-traumatic slave syndrome.” The event was in the Indiana Memorial Union’s Solarium and attended by hundreds of students, faculty and staff. It was sponsored
by CAPS/IU Health Center and the Union Board, among others. Dr. DeGruy is a wellpublished scholar who has spoken at Oxford, Harvard and many other colleges. Her three-hour talk was highly informative and inspiring. It was one of those provocative, intellectual and emotional experiences that have sparked
lively follow-up discussion. We have found our thoughts and feelings returning again and again to Dr. DeGruy’s remarks since Wednesday. We wanted to share our disappointment that her lecture was not reported by the Indiana Daily Student. We know what it is like to miss a lecture on campus and then at least have the opportu-
nity to read the highlights in the newspaper. Depriving your readers the opportunity to learn more about Dr. DeGruy’s work was most unfortunate, to our minds. Nancy Stockton Director, CAPS Pete Grogg Executive Director, IU Health Center

In the days following the terrorist attacks in Paris, students flocked to social media to show their solidarity and compassion for the French people as they reeled from the worst assault on the Western world since 9-11. In recent days, however, the spotlight has shifted away from the European nation to the millions of refugees displaced by ISIS — or, if you prefer, Daesh. Semantics aside, the Islamic State has bred an empire of terrorism and fear in the power vacuum created by the Bush administration and sustained by President Obama’s lack of intervention in the Middle East. In the past week, handfuls of liberal voices have expressed their support of the Obama administration’s decision to relocate 10,000 Syrian refugees. Not surprisingly, 26 governors from both parties have publicly voiced their dissent to this policy. Among their concerns were national security and safeguarding legislative process. Immigration experts are correct in claiming state governors have no influence on immigration policy. They are also correct these leaders are standing out in fear, although not of Syrians or even Islam. Our policy makers are afraid the Obama
administration will once again circumvent the appropriation procedures of the U.S. Congress. In order for President Obama to substantiate plans to accept 10,000 Syrian refugees by the end of the fiscal year, a corresponding budget must be approved by a majority Republican legislative body. Anyone with a basic knowledge of politics knows that will not happen. Officials are also concerned about the national security issue that is undeniably presented by welcoming any amount of people into the country. In last Thursday’s debate, Hillary Clinton claimed she would “screen” any Syrians that cross our borders; however, how do you screen 10,000 people — with no documentation — for ill intent? According to the Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies, 13 percent of Syrian refugees have a view of ISIS that is at least “positive to some extent,” with 4 percent of those responses being explicitly positive. It is clear that our leaders, in the face of ill-founded criticism, are fulfilling their obligation to protect this country. Andrew Biller IU student

Governor Pence is just adding fuel to the refugee crisis In response to the atrocious terrorist attacks in Paris on Friday, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence announced Monday that Syrian refugees who want to relocate to the United States are not welcome in the state of Indiana. Shame on you, Gov. Pence, for using an act of terrorism to justify xenophobia and bigotry. Pence joined a chorus of mostly Republican governors in opposing the presence of refugees from Syria in their states. According to politico.com, Florida, Texas, Louisiana, Ohio and 23 other states, including Indiana, all issued loud statements to the press, in which they emphasized the security of their residents as the primary reason for trying to block the immigration of people affected by the crisis. Fear begets fear. Completely and unilaterally stopping these people, many of whom are fleeing Syria to escape terrorism to begin with, not only increases fear but does nothing to change existing systems and policies for refugees. After all, it’s unclear what role the states have to play, if any, in the concerns about allowing Syrian refugees to enter the country. According to the Washington Post, the federal government is the entity responsible for granting approved refugee status. The United States State Department processes applications, and all applicants are screened and interviewed by the Department of Homeland Security before they’re allowed entry. That means states have nothing to do with this vetting process. Director of Advocacy for the American Immigration Lawyers Association Greg Chen told politico.com once refugees legally enter the U.S., they’re permitted to move about the country without restriction. What is the governor’s point, then, in symbolically shunning refugees fleeing from ISIS? Why bother to make a statement if there’s not much Indiana can actually do about it policy wise?
Tristan Fitzpatrick is a junior in journalism and history.
There is none. The statement, combined with his approval of the controversial Religious Freedom Restoration Act that unfairly discriminated against LGBT citizens earlier this year, show the only Hoosier hospitality Gov. Pence has to offer is for statehouse colleagues that are no different than him. The issue should not be about whether Syrian refugees are or are not allowed to be in Indiana. The issue should be about whether Indiana is committed or not to being a force for good against evil. Instead of condemning, shaming and unfairly making claims about Syrian refugees, the governor could work with the federal government to ensure all refugees coming to the United States have no ties to ISIS or other radical terrorist groups. Our state’s legislature could pass a bill providing financial, legal and other support to Syrian refugees who are just trying to find a safe place to raise their kids, go to work and live their lives away from the threats and actions of terrorists. All of us and the governor, as Americans, can stand up against the culture of fear, hate and violence that organizations like the Islamic State want to bring into each of our lives. We can accomplish this by working together to ensure that the Syrian refugees who come to America are peaceful and desire the freedoms we all enjoy in this great nation. Gov. Pence, in the face of the world’s worst humanitarian crisis since World War II, are you going to be remembered as someone who was sympathetic to the concerns of your fellow man, or are you going to be remembered as someone who refused to pitch in and help him? ttfitzpa@indiana.edu @tfitzwrites

ate a year early this May with a bachelor’s of science in music and an outside field in ballet. She will perform in the Sugar Plum Fairy’s dance in one cast of “The Nutcracker” Dec. 5. “The Nutcracker” runs Dec. 3-6. Hansvick did all styles of dance, but said she kept getting pushed toward ballet. “(Ballet) is where I feel the most confident,” Hansvick said. “And I just really love it, I really do.” In addition to learning time management, Hansvick said ballet has taught her to pay attention to the little things and the basics. She said the music especially helps her to fully commit to the movement, and being in sync with the music gives her confidence in her steps. In order to do big, amazing pieces, you have to be able to go back to the basics every day and remember their value, Hansvick said. “Attention to the detail is what makes the movement look calm and collected,” she said in an email. “Without that, the classical form is lost and the movement looks frantic. I think that
starting with the basics everyday is kind of a tool to get in the right mindset to be able to perform big later.” Shawn Stevens, one of Cara’s ballet instructors, said Hansvick always come to class with a positive mindset and has the perfect attitude to become a professional dancer. “She is just so believable,” Stevens said. “She loves her art and you can see it in her dancing.” Compared to other styles of dance, Hansvick said ballet feels more like you’re sharing something. She said that’s why her favorite part about ballet is getting to perform — she loves being able to share her love for dance and ballet with other people. “I just love performing and when everything comes together,” Hansvick said. “You have the music and the movement and you are confident in what you’re doing.” On stage, Hansvick said she has done her job if she can just get one more person to fall in love with dance. “By the time you get to stage, you have to trust that your body

will remember everything you’ve been rehearsing,” she said in an email. “At that point I try to just focus on enjoying it as much as possible, because I feel like if I am enjoying the movement and loving every moment, then the audience will too.” Hansvick aspires to dance professionally for a ballet company, but she said she is also trying to keep her options open. She loves teaching dance — she even teaches an elective ballet class — and said that is something she wants to keep doing. Eventually, she said she sees herself working administratively at a dance company. Pursuing ballet can be very difficult at times and consists of a lot of challenging weeks, Hansvick said, but she just tries to separate the moments and motivate herself to keep doing her best. “Every new day is a fresh start, and I know how much I love it and I know that I’ve grown so much and come so far,” she said.

Freshman forward Kym Royster goes up to score against Chattanooga. The Hoosiers beat Chattanooga 54-43 Tuesday in Assembly Hall.
Freshman forward makes plays in upset By Taylor Lehman trlehman@indiana.edu | trlehman_IDS
Kym Royster scored her first points against No. 24 Chattanooga at the end of the third quarter on a layup in the post. The freshman forward scored four more to start the fourth quarter. After scoring just two points in her first two games, Royster’s six-point run gave the Hoosiers a two-point lead, 39-37, to start the fourth quarter. IU would win the quarter, 19-6, and eventually the game, 54-43, to upset Chattanooga and move on to the Preseason Women’s National Invitational Tournament semifinal. “It’s just been a matter of time for Kym,” IU Coach Teri Moren said. “We are committed to getting her more playing time, and I think tonight she showed why we need to be more committed.” Royster only played 17 minutes during the 11-point upset, but most of those minutes were during the third and fourth quarters when IU was trading the lead back and forth with Chattanooga. In her last two games combined, she was only on the hardwood for a total of 24 minutes, and Moren said Royster played “like a
freshman.” However, with her extended playing time Wednesday, the freshman said she felt more comfortable in the game. “The first game I was really nervous — like my first college game — and the second game I had limited minutes,” Royster said. “I think being in the game for longer periods of time, I think that’s what helped get me comfortable. I was through many situations with the team.” In a few situations when the game was a one-possession contest, Royster stepped up and made plays defensively, which Moren said she appeared afraid to do in her previous games. She ran down the court after guards in transition to contest field goal attempts and force them to be errant, where a non-contested layup would have likely gone in, and those defensive plays can make a difference when the game is as close as Wednesday’s game was, Moren said. “The thing that’s really great about her is that she can guard a guard,” Moren said. “If we need to switch one through five moving forward, we’re going to be able to do that. She’s long, and she’s really aggressive. It just wasn’t her offensive production to-
IU 54 NO. 24 CHATTANOOGA 43 Points Buss, 16 Blocks Royster, 1 Assists Buss, 5 night; it’s what she gave us on the defensive end.” Moren said she gives much of the credit for Royster’s development to IU Assistant Coach Rhet Wierzba, who has been working with the freshman after practices to help her maturity and confidence. Moren also said the Royster who played against Chattanooga on Tuesday is the Royster she recruited: a player that dominates on the boards and is aggressive in the post. With Moren’s policy of players earning minutes based on how they practice and produce in games, Wierzba stressed the freshman would find her time and that time was in the fourth quarter against the No. 24 team in the country. “I think the biggest thing is just that Rhet is feeding her with confidence,” Moren said. “He’s telling her to be patient and her time is going to come, and when she gets in there, she really needs to take advantage of the opportunity.”
As this season comes to a close, IU Coach Sherry Dunbar-Kruzan looks to fill empty spaces on the 2016 volleyball team. The Hoosiers will lose five seniors but gain five new freshmen next year from four Midwest states — Indiana, Wisconsin, Illinois and Ohio. The five freshmen are outside hitter Ally Badowski, setter Victoria Brisack, middle blocker Hayden Hubers, defensive specialist Meaghan Koors and middle blocker Deyshia Lofton. To Dunbar-Kruzan, these women are more than just a replacement class, she said. They’re an influential group for the future of the program. “The numbers, accolades and mentality they have combined make them an impact class,” DunbarKruzan said. “I couldn’t be more happy for them to come in.” These five players bring a plethora of accolades with them to IU. As young players, they have gained AllAmerican titles, won state championships, been given Player of the Year honors and taken the Amateur Athletic Union National Championship. These accomplishments are typical in Big Ten recruits, though. “I’d pay to watch them play,” Dunbar-Kruzan said. “That’s how I judge recruits sometimes. When I see them there’s more than just athletic ability. These kids love Indiana, and they are so gung ho and goal-oriented already. This group wins all the time so that as a whole is an amazing combination.” Together the newest players will enter the halls of University Gym with a combined record of 131-24. Winning hasn’t been common territory for IU during its previous seasons. By adding a team that is used to winning at every possible level, Dunbar-Kruzan said she believes they will continue to achieve at
the highest level. The future freshmen had similar reasons as to why they wanted to become Hoosiers. The biggest difference between these freshmen and any other freshman is they have been chosen to compete in the toughest volleyball conference in the country, as five Big Ten teams are ranked top 10 in the country. “I think all we know right now is volleyball,” Badowski said. “Volleyball is our life, and I think coming here and knowing what’s at stake and the hard work we need to put in is going to be a good mix with all of us here.” Though IU isn’t the top team in the Big Ten, the future players don’t have any reservations about continuing to win games at the collegiate level. When they step onto the court surrounded by flag representations of future opponents and banners of past achievements these recruits have one expectation next year: to win. “I think it’s been awhile since IU has won how they would like to,” Brisack said. “I think it’s especially a goal for this class to get us to a Big Ten Championship and hopefully into some NCAA tournament appearances.” With what might seem like an optimistic goal for a young team, these recruits have no doubt that they are skilled and prepared to take on any challenges that Big Ten play brings with it, Lofton said. As for the current freshmen, defensive specialist Samantha Fogg and middle blocker Elizabeth Asdell have no reservations when it comes to their decision to play for IU. Rather, these two freshmen describe their first year playing for the Hoosiers as life changing. “It’s been an awesome experience,” Fogg said. “I definitely wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. We just learn so much when we’re here and we get to meet a bunch of new people. The atmosphere at IU is perfect,
“Off the court this team is really easy to get used to. The freshmen are just going to have to get used to the level of play they’re going to have to play at. That was hard for all three of the freshman this year. It was just hard and different than high school so that’s going to be the biggest thing.” Samantha Fogg, IU volleyball defensive specialist
and it’s kind of like a job, but it’s a fun job, so I can’t complain.” Fogg and Asdell recall their recruiting processes to be similar to the current recruits where all it took for them was a visit to campus before they decided IU was the place they wanted to be. As far as the idea of five new freshman coming onto the team next year, both players said they don’t think adding the new players will be difficult. Just different. “I think it’s going to be a good different,” Asdell said. “The fact that we’ll be able to come closer together since we’re all younger and that we already know them pretty well so it will be a fun experience.” Normally teams losing as many as five players is enough to harm a team’s communication, but Fogg and Asdell don’t predict that to be the most challenging aspect of adding five new freshmen to their team next year. “Off the court this team is really easy to get used to,” Fogg said. “The freshmen are just going to have to get used to the level of play they’re going to have to play at. That was hard for all three of the freshman this year. It was just hard and different than high school so that’s going to be the biggest thing.”

IU prepares to travel for match at No. 7 Nebraska By Courtney Robb crobb@indiana.edu | @CourttyKayy
Though most teams typically find comfort in playing with home-court advantage, IU players and coaches described playing at Nebraska’s Devaney Center with one word: fun. After defeating Michigan State, 3-0, Saturday, IU volleyball (15-13) looks to build on its current two-game win streak when it visits No. 7 Nebraska (22-4) Wednesday. “The weird thing is Nebraska gets eight, nine thousand fans, but they’re not boisterous kind of fans,” IU Coach Sherry Dunbar-Kruzan said. “They’re very intelligent about volleyball, so they like to see good volleyball. It’s not an intimidating place, but it’s an awesome place.” Senior outside hitter Amelia Anderson said because the fans are so knowledgeable, they are known to cheer for the opposing team if they have good plays. However, Anderson said there is much more to succeeding in a volleyball match besides the atmosphere the players are surrounded by. In order to bring home a win it comes down to strategy, and IU knows what adjustments to make after playing Nebraska in a 3-0 loss two weeks ago, Anderson said. “They’re pretty much the same,” Anderson said. “We’re pretty much the same, too. We’re trying to make adjust-

ments like where we’re going to score and how we’re going to get around their big block.” Nebraska’s usual middle blockers stand at 6-foot-3 in comparison to IU’s middle blockers who range from 6 feet to 6-foot-3. Although not impossible, trying to put balls down on an opposing side can be strategically harder against a much larger team. Anderson said the best way to top an opponent who out-sizes them is by playing smart and with speed. Though the Hoosiers want to play fast, the Cornhuskers have already proven they can play fast, too. Nebraska sophomore setter Kelly Hunter had a 0.800 hit percentage against IU in the teams’ last meeting and junior hitter Amber Rolfzen hit 0.750. DunbarKruzan said the Hoosiers counter fast play with serving.
IU (15-13) at No. 7 Nebraska (22-4) 7 p.m. Wednesday “If you get them out of system and don’t have three attackers to deal with, then you can modify what you’re doing with your block defense,” Dunbar-Kruzan said. “So it starts with our serving and then we really have to transition in score points right away and not give them more opportunities to score.” Dunbar-Kruzan said offensively IU will have to change slightly in order to successfully combat Nebraska, but the team doesn’t doubt its chances to deliver an upset. “They’re going to play us tough,” Anderson said. “We know that. We’re going to have to go in there and give them everything we have.”

Bloomington” during last night’s show. He crooned over beats provided by their drummer, who played a muted trumpet with one hand and the cymbals with the other for part of Valise’s set. The audience expectantly waited for Gray throughout the opening act and sporadically cheered during the set change that signaled her appearance onstage. Gray, swaying and twirling the stand and taking breaks from vocals to swish around her skirts with both hands like a flamenco dancer, took the microphone with her as she moved during her set. Her signature smokey voice spoke for itself as she invited the audience to dance with her. She and the band’s soul and blues groove had every person in the audience bobbing their head or swaying to the sound. Clara Young, a Macy Gray fan since her rise to fame, said she has all of Gray’s CDs and has almost worn them out from playing them repeatedly at top volume in her car. “I just think she’s unique with that raspy voice,” Young said. “No two things sound alike.”
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 in the audience. “Let the world know you are here,” Gray said. “One, two, three, what’s your name? Nice to meet you.” Gray, born Natalie Renee McIntyre, started singing in her 20s. She released her debut album “On How Life Is,” in 1999, and received the Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for her single “I Try” in 2001. “I Try” was also nominated for Song of the Year that same year. Before the event, IU graduate student Leslie Winter said she mostly only knew Gray from “I Try.” “Her voice is so hauntingly beautiful, I know it will be a really great show,” Winter said. “Her voice is just that good.” Vince Penick is the lead singer for Valise, a Texasbased band that opened for Gray. This is Valise’s second week of three and a half touring with Gray from Arizona to New York. Penick said he was changing the name of his band’s debut album from “Young Bloomer” to “Young

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “‘This is our quarter,’” Moren told her team before the fourth quarter. “‘If we’re going to win this thing, we needed to push the ball in transition.’ At that point, we were just feeding them with confidence that we have to find ways to get stops and win.” The Hoosiers and Mocs both struggled to score in a back-and-forth first half. The two teams combined to shoot 18 of 50 from the field in the opening twenty minutes. Cahill was able to create early separation down low, leading all scorers in the first frame with seven points. IU forced Chattanooga to turn the ball over 18 times, a statistic that the Mocs surpassed only three times in 2014-15. Moren’s defensive system, which relies on heavy on-ball pressure, forced the Mocs to play sloppily at times. Although junior guard Tyshee Towner was kept scoreless, Moren said she was happy with how the junior college transfer played defensively against Chattanooga junior guard Alicia Payne. “We played pretty tough tonight,” Moren said. “I thought Tyshee was terrific

She did a tremendous job keeping her in front.” Chattanooga’s balanced attack was paced by sophomore wing Keiana Gilbert and junior guard Chelsey Shumpert, as the duo finished with 13 and 12 points, respectively. The Mocs rebounded from a difference between Muslims and the terrorists of ISIS. “They are trying to make us afraid in our schools, in our homes,” Abbes said. “Do not be afraid of them, and do not be afraid of anybody.” Many other students used the opportunity to speak in support of Syrian refugees.
