WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

IU falls to MSU away 69-60

End of the fall

By Jake Thomer jjthomer@indiana.edu | @jake_the_thomer

The Hoosiers were lucky to hold a halftime lead after a sluggish first half on Thursday, but coming out even flatter in the second sealed their fate.

IU women’s basketball did well enough on the defensive end to beat Michigan State on the road, but when the Spartans posted the two highest-scoring quarters of the game for either team in the third and fourth quarters, the Hoosiers were unable to keep up.

A nine-point advantage in the third quarter gave Michigan State a lead it would never relinquish, and an unsuccessful attempt to mount a late comeback ultimately led IU to fall 69-60 in the Breslin Center.

Despite the Hoosiers holding star senior guard Tori Jankoska to five points in the second half, other Spartans were able to step up in her stead. Senior forward Taya Reimer led a Michigan State post that scored 16 of its 24 points in the paint in the final two quarters.

“Came out of the half, and I thought Taya Reimer had about, what, six straight buckets it felt like,” IU assistant coach Janese Banks said on the postgame radio show on WHCC 105.1 FM. “We had to make some adjustments in the second half. It worked well in our favor for a little bit and then we just fell short on some execution down the stretch.”

Reimer did make six secondhalf baskets, though not as rapid as Banks may have felt they were.

She finished the game with 15 points on 5-of-11 shooting and collected five rebounds.

Senior Hoosier guard Alexis Gassion drew the defensive assignment on Jankoska and locked her down for the most part by holding the Big Ten’s secondleading scorer to just 5 of 18 shooting in the game.

Gassion scored just 10 points, but her defense on Jankoska forced Michigan State to shift its entire gameplan to try to score in the post.

“We knew their guards score a majority of their points,” Banks said. “We were very conscious of their guards. Not that their post players can’t score, because they are very good, but it was almost like that’s where we wanted them to beat us and then they played into that.”

Though Jankoska was largely stymied, her 3-pointer with less than a minute to go pushed the Spartans’ lead from three to six points and sealed the win.

Throughout the final quarter, junior guard Tyra Buss and junior forward Amanda Cahill attempted to spearhead a comeback, but IU could never get closer than three points behind Michigan State.

Cahill finished with a teamhigh 17 points as Buss nearly equaled her with 16.

On Sunday, IU will be host to No. 3 Maryland.

The Terrapins are in first place in the Big Ten and have yet to lose a game in conference play.

Maryland’s only loss of the season came in a six-point defeat against No. 1 Connecticut in late December.

Senior center Brionna Jones anchors the Maryland frontcourt and leads the team in scoring with 19.4 points per game to go along with 10.4 rebounds per game.

Six different Terrapins have 11 or more blocks this season, so the Hoosiers may have to live at the 3-point line in the 12 p.m. showdown Sunday that will air on ESPN2.

“They’re not top in the country for no reason,” Banks said.

“They are a very good basketball team with All-Americans and all-conference players. It’s going to be definitely a tough task, but it’s nothing that we’re scared of, nothing we can’t handle.”

An opioid epidemic ravages southern Indiana. Lawmakers and advocates debate how to handle it. In the middle of it all, people with addictions brace for impact.

He sees them go up and down. Up again, back down again.

TJ Covey watches the playground swings arc through November air. One passenger, his 4-year-old son Jaxan, belts a rendition of “I Believe I Can Fly.” The other, Covey’s 8-year-old son Deven, nears his apex and lets go.

He nearly lands it, but his feet slide, and he falls hard.

Then he bounces up, and Covey laughs, thrilled just to watch his sons play. One day a couple of years ago, he tried a similar outing and wound up lying in his truck while the boys stayed outside. He’d taken a dose of Suboxone, a drug used to treat opioid addiction, too soon after shooting heroin, and by the time he got to the park he’d gone into painful withdrawal. He felt like he was going to die.

Not long after, Covey spent more time away from his sons. He waited in jail from June 2015 to last September on drug dealing charges, eventually dismissed.

He knows how fragile sobriety can be — he’s tried it before, been up and down and back up again. Now he’s resolved to beat an addiction that’s ravaging much of the rural United States.

At this park in Bloomington, he is 60 days sober. It is only his second period of sobriety since he was a teenager not counting times he’d been in jail. The boys think their dad was sick. They don’t know

People like their dad are at the core of a deadly epidemic. According to the Centers for Disease Control, heroin-related deaths outnumbered gun homicides nationwide for the first time in 2015.

Covey’s kids are rambunctious and endlessly curious. He had the same spirit as a youngster, he says. As kids in rural southern Indiana, he and his cousins entertained themselves by jumping from the high loft in his grandfather’s old barn into the mattresspadded bed of an old dump truck. He’s always been curious and starved for adrenaline — for higher climbs — and he thinks that combination has something to do with his lifetime of struggle with addiction.

Professor of practice, former CIA agent retires

By Rachel Leffers rleffers@indiana.edu | @rachelleffers

Although he said he’s no James Bond and is still waiting for his Aston Martin, IU professor of practice Gene Coyle was an international spy for the CIA. Coyle was an operations director with the CIA from 1976 to 2006.

Since then he has spent his time as a professor at IU, his alma mater, but will retire after this semester.

“After 30 years at the CIA and 13 years at my alma mater, I’ve contributed to society enough,” Coyle said.

During his time with the CIA, Coyle recruited people to become spies. Coyle said it could be difficult because it is impossible to convince most people to risk their lives for their government.

However, Coyle said he enjoyed the mental challenge of his job and viewed it as an intellectual chess game.

“It’s not just about party lines but what’s really important to you,” Coyle said, “If I can figure that out, I can figure out what I need to offer.”

Coyle said there are typically few things that are really important to people, such as money, politics or their family. \ His job was to get inside people’s heads and use the information he had to recruit them.

Coyle’s area of specialization was Russia and Eastern Europe, and Coyle and some of the CIA’s other top agents were sent to the Soviet Union during the Cold War. The Soviet Union’s Komitet gosudarstvennoy bezopasnosti, or Committee for State Security, had

unlimited power at the time. It had access to almost everyone’s cars and had microphones in people’s apartments, Coyle said. Although he respected the committee’s talent, he said he knew they were not going to outwit him.

Coyle said the best and brightest agents were sent to the Soviet Union during this time because there was a certain mentality the agents needed in order to succeed there.

“You had to be confident to an obnoxious degree,” Coyle said.

He could not doubt himself or his actions, Coyle said. He had to know that he had done the right thing and move on with confidence. When he came back from the Soviet Union, Coyle said he was satisfied knowing he had outsmarted the best foreign security service by acquiring critical intelligence information for the CIA. In 2006, Coyle was hired as a professor of practice at in the School of Public and Environmental Affairs, where he had previously received his bachelor of arts in American history and political science and his master of arts in East European history.

When Coyle called his college friends to tell them he was coming back to IU as a professor, he said they thought it was quite funny.

Coyle said his friends knew him in his more immature years, when he was on the IU gymnastics team and could be found doing a handstand on the hips of the mermaid in Showalter Fountain.

Coyle said his teaching strategy throughout the years has primarily been to entertain students, so he is

able to sneak knowledge to them.

The most rewarding part of teaching is having students stay in touch with him after they graduate. Coyle said it’s fulfilling to know you made an impression on them.

Although Coyle still finds working with his students fun, he said he is worn down by the bureaucracy of higher education. When Coyle came to work at IU, he said he had naïve ideas about the world of academia and its pursuit to find truth.

“People are about the same everywhere,” Coyle said, “There are good people, there are dumb people.”

When May comes around and he is retired, Coyle said he’ll be spending a lot of time in his paja-

mas and picking up hobbies because his wife doesn’t want him sitting around complaining about being bored.

His hobbies will include writing spy novels, traveling and possibly even becoming an international jewel thief, Coyle said.

Coyle and his wife, Jan Coyle, plan to travel the states more because he’s been to more foreign countries than U.S. states and said he’s tired of citizens of other countries telling him to see more U.S. landmarks.

Although Coyle will have a less structured, more uncertain schedule after he retires, there is one thing he said he knows for sure.

“If I can outwit the KGB, I can outwit anybody,” Coyle said.

Cadets act as civilian security

By Kelly Evans evanskn@indiana.edu | @knickele5

They are considered the eyes and ears of the IU Police Department. However, they cannot carry a weapon, make an arrest or get physically involved in altercations.

They are equipped with only a patch on their sleeve and a radio to call for help.

The IU Police Department cadet program is a year-long training phase for IU students. It is a way for students to start their careers in law enforcement. A large part of the program is the shifts cadets have working security on campus at football and basketball games, IUPD Capt. Andy Stephenson said.

Sgt. Stephen Luce, the training coordinator for IUPD cadets said he compares the role of a cadet to that of a civilian security position.

Buildings within cadet jurisdiction include Herman B Wells Library, the Student Recreational Sports Center, the School of Public Health, Franklin Hall, Bryan Hall, the Indiana Memorial Union and the lost and found in Ballantine Hall room 031.

Assignments change during the course of training as a way to provide these students with a more well-rounded experience.

“We want them to be exposed to as much as possible so when they leave here, they’re well prepared,” Luce said.

Although physical power is limited for cadets, these individuals are still vital to the police department, Luce said.

The cadets help to fill in the staff gaps the department has, Luce said.

IU celebrates Black History Month with several February events, all of which are key to celebrating and learning about black heritage, IU Vice President for Diversity, Equity and Multicultural Affairs James Wimbush said.

“It’s good to provide these opportunities to learn about cultures and heritages of people that aren’t your own,” Wimbush said.

The purpose of the monthlong celebration is to recognize the diverse cultures in the United States and to teach people who are not from those cultural backgrounds and to foster pride and selfeducation in those who do come from them, he said.

Wimbush said IU has always been known as an internationally welcoming university. It’s always been known as a university that is accepting

ing in full-time manpower,” Luce said. “They’re a pivotal, crucial part of what we do.”

After cadets have completed the training program, the next step is the IU Police Academy. Upon acceptance, cadets complete 600 hours of training from May to August and graduate the academy certified in law enforcement for the state. Stephenson said the department is trying to step up its recruiting efforts, but this year’s prospects are looking good.

“For us, our goal is to hire between 40 and 50 cadets every year with the hope of putting approximately 40 through the academy,” Stephenson said.

The cadet program doesn’t require applicants to have a particular major to participate — just a general interest in law enforcement, according to the IUPD website. For students that complete cadet training and decide the academy isn’t for

them, there’s no commitment. Once they complete cadet training, they can be finished.

The cadet program brings the department a lot more than just extra hands on deck. The program started on the Bloomington campus and it is something the department wants to continue, Luce said.

“Twenty-nine of our fulltime employees were formally a part of the cadet program,” Stephenson said. “Out of 40.”

Both Stephenson and Luce were cadet graduates.

Although some of the details of the program have changed from when they went through, both Stephenson and Luce agreed the basic

premise of the program is and will remain the same.

Director of Public Safety Education Capt. Greg Butler has created a tradition in the cadet program other staff members say they value.

“The way Capt. Butler runs the program, that’s not going to change, that’s our standard,” Luce said.

The department is beginning to make preparations for the summer academy, Luce said. State legislation can influence the program, hence their need to update and tweak it each year.

“If you are an undergraduate interested in a career in law enforcement, it would really behoove you to look into the program,” Luce said. “It’ll change your life.”

to students of all backgrounds — religion, race, gender and sexual orientation, he said.

“It reinforces the notion that we are indeed a university that is welcoming to all,” he said. “It also sends a signal to the whole University and community that we are a welcoming place.”

Wimbush said, in the past, the celebrations have been very well-received by the community. However, he said he expects a higher turnout this year due to the contentious political climate. While he said the events will not focus on current events and political disagreements, the message may be applicable to the current situation.

“We’ve always had the message of one IU,” he said.

“That message is still there.”

He emphasized that, while educational, the activities planned for the month of February are also fun for people to participate in and this year may be a little different than

previous ones.

Wimbush said while the overall message and goal of the events remains the same, there may be some tweaks in their style and organization due to the new director of the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center, Monica Green.

“This year the activities have her touch,” he said. “For me, the excitement is in observing what she puts together. People who know her have really come to respect her.”

Green has had the position since March of last year, so she was unable to be a part of the previous Black History Month.

In his statement on IU Newsroom, Wimbush said students should celebrate and learn about other cultures throughout the year.

“But it’s also important to celebrate these heritages, not only from a historical perspective but from a contemporary standpoint,” he said in the statement. “That’s why I’m

Safe Sisters work to help stop sexual assault

By Larmie Sanyon lsanyon@indiana.edu @DaGreatestSanyn

According to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, one in five women will be raped in their lifetime and one in 71 men. However, IU and its organizations want to lead the way in prevention and prosecution of sexual assault incidents and particularly focusing efforts within the greek community.

Ann Skirvin is helping lead the University’s efforts to improve how sexual assaults are handled. Skirvin is one of two full-time counselors at the Sexual Assault Crisis Service, which is part of Counseling and Psychological Services at the IU Health Center.

One of the ways Skirvin and her team help is through their work in the greek community. Skirvin said sexual assault is also prevalent in residence halls and occurs in off-campus housing.

“While sexual assault is common on college campuses nationwide, there is evidence that suggests sexual assault is more prevalent in the greek community,” Skirvin said.

According to the National

IU initiative works to recruit diverse faculty

Institute of Justice sorority membership is a “risk factor” for sexual assault, With this understanding, IU has put in place specific sexual assault services for greeks like Safe Sisters.

A “Safe Sister” is a greek woman who is knowledgable and available to assist her sorority sisters in issues regarding sexual assault prevention and prosecution.

“Safe Sisters was created by the Sexual Assault Crisis Service in collaboration with the Panhellenic Council to provide training, resources, education and support to women in the greek community about sexual assault,” Skirvin said.

The Panhellenic Association oversees most of the sororities on campus. Skirvin said every Panhellenic Association sorority is tasked with choosing representatives who attend a four-hour tr-aining session and monthly meetings in the fall and spring semesters. The representatives report back to their respective houses consistently.

Junior Riley Sobczak is a member of Alpha Gamma Delta and is her house’s representative to Safe Sisters.

“Personally, both Safe Sis-

ters and CAPS have helped me with a wide range of complicated situations, and I’m glad to have been at Indiana University while these organizations were present,” she said.

Sobczak said Safe Sisters aims to make greek women feel safe and comfortable, and that is important because students are less likely to come forward without a proper prevention infrastructure in place.

It’s Sobczak’s job to take her training and meetings seriously since it’s partially her job to inform her sisters of the dangers of sexual assault and the available resources.

Skirvin said representatives have to educate themselves and their houses regarding options for counseling, medical care, reporting and academic assistance for survivors of sexual trauma.

Although IU has established organizations like Safe Sisters, Sobczak said more members of the greek community need to get involved, but she said their involvement should not be mandated.

Mandatory attendance never results in more awareness in the community, she said.

Instead, she recommended having more events related to sexual assault to encourage awareness in the community.

Skirvin also said IU could continue to better itself. She urged IU to remain vigilant regarding the safety of its students. She said the University should assess and invest in any policies or improvements that help to keep students safe.

The University does have specific programs in place to combat sexual assault, however. Some of these programs include Culture of Care the ItsOnUs campaign, Step Up IU!, Last Friday Night and others.

Despite this, Skirvin said the University should take student safety concerns and feedback seriously and monitor and ensure faculty and staff interact with students appropriately in order to educate students about their rights.

“IU can continue to explore ways to ensure the safety of all of its students and is obligated to hold accountable any organizations or individuals who have caused harm to students due to sexually inappropriate behavior,” Skirvin said.

By glancing at a recent election result map or current census estimates, one can observe that Bloomington is a distinct outlier in both political leaning and racial diversity.

IU’s effort to recruit diverse students and faculty is critical to making the campus and community exceptional to the status quo.

John Nieto-Phillips, the vice provost for Faculty Development and Diversity, is leading an initiative to remove implicit bias in faculty recruitment and retainment practices. The first workshop, which took place last fall, had at least 120 faculty, department chairs and deans in attendance.

Tenure-track faculty-hiring committees will now be required to send at least one member to the workshop annually.

“Our greatest mission is providing an education to IU students that prepares them for a diverse and interconnecting world,” said Nieto-Phillips, a professor of history and Latino studies.

He said implicit bias is a universal phenomenon.

Sometimes this underlying partiality can affect decision making, which is why becoming aware of it is so important. Nieto-Phillips said above all faculty are judged on the quality of their research.

Ryan Draghi, a sophomore from Mansfield, Massachusetts, said this marketplace of free thought is what made him come all the way to IU. He said he came to a big school for the diversity in ideas and values among both faculty and students.

“The few times I’ve witnessed people outside of Bloomington, they’ve usually been Caucasian, and were probably American,” Draghi said.

Massachusetts is not as politically homogeneous as Indiana, but it is predominantly white, he said. Regardless of profession, he thinks hiring should come down to skills and qualification, which would introduce diversity in a natural manner. Draghi said the range of viewpoints, culture and religion he sees at IU make him a better student.

In addition to screening for race and gender bias in hiring practices, the new workshop also addresses a perceived superiority of an Ivy League degree over one from a public school, which Nieto-Phillips said can subconsciously factor into hiring decisions.

He said every scholar brings a specific skill set to the table. The deciding factor is whether the school welcomes their innovation or scrutinizes their contribution. Valuing the work of faculty is essential in retaining those who are most qualified, Nieto-Phillips said.

“We must promote a culture of recognition,” he said.

The initiative is new because Nieto-Phillips has been in his vice provost position for less than a year.

However, the Bloomington campus has been growing in racial and ethnic diversity for decades, according to school records and census data.

In fall 2015, the last semester with available census data, 20.1 percent of degree-seeking students and 19 percent of full-time faculty identified as belonging to a domestic racial minority, according to the IU Fact Book.

Compared to the 20052006 edition, which had 10 percent of students and 15 percent of faculty identifying as a racial minority, there has been a 101-percent increase in minority students and a 26.7-percent increase in minority faculty in a 10-year period.

IU’s increasing level of diversity is in contrast with the state’s racial makeup.

According to census records, the number of people in Indiana who identified as only white increased over the same time period the level of only white students and faculty at IU decreased.

The proportion of people who identified as anything other than only white decreased from 15.7 percent to 14.2 percent from 2005 to 2015.

“We’re working hard to diversify our faculty to better represent our society and student body,” NietoPhillips said.

This is beneficial for student learning and exposure, since judging a potential faculty member on the quality of his or her writing and methodology can result in diversity, both in demographic indicators and opinion, he said.

Nieto-Phillips said hiring committees aren’t as interested in a scholar’s personal opinions or political leanings for bias. Their main job is to ensure the most qualified candidates are selected.

Professor Watchlist, a website created by Turning Point USA, was founded on the mission of documenting “college professors who discriminate against conservative students and advance leftist propaganda in the classroom.” The website posts submissions, most of which are based on questionable evidence.

The establishment of the watchlist caused uproar among the country’s academic community, who saw it as a form of thought police. While no IU professors have been named to on the list, Nieto-Phillips said it is still a concern of many faculty members because it comes off as intimidation.

“Anytime you compile a list and call it a watchlist, there seems to be an implication that we must monitor the political leanings of faculty,” Nieto-Phillips said.

Still, he said, so far he’s received positive feedback from the workshop and his office’s broader diversity efforts. There have been no claims of reverse discrimination, for which NietoPhillips said is hard to make a case. Each department’s hiring committee has different standards, but the one thing the diversity initiative wants to help avoid is homogeneous ideas within and across departments.

“We want a diverse range of perspectives, and by being aware when we’re gravitating toward uniformity, it can allow us to consider the importances of diversity and to be more open to our differences,” Nieto-Phillips said.

The Residence Hall Association discussed legislation and programing and passed bills during its summit Wednesday evening in Cedar Hall. Events surrounding Little 500, upcoming RHA elections and archiving efforts for the incoming administration were all topics of concern during the conference.

Residence halls talk resources and events

By Joy Burton joyburt@umail.iu.edu | @joybur10

Residence Hall Association elections and mold at McNutt were topics of conversation at the RHA association meeting Wednesday.

The conversation among the RHA student leaders was mostly about the betterment of student life at the IU residence halls.

RHA President AnneTherese Ryan said the attendees should stand up on behalf of students who may feel ostracized by new legislation preventing immigration to the United States from Muslim-majority countries.

“Please just watch out for those students who might need some extra help and maybe some more positive vibes in their life,” Ryan said.

IU Residence Hall Association members were encouraged to refer these students to CAPS and spread the word that fees are waived for students affected by the immigration executive order.

Director of IU Counseling and Psychological Services Nancy Stockton, Ph.D. confirmed that CAPS is providing free counseling sessions for those who have been directly affected by the president’s new immigration order.

Stockton said emergency counseling slots have been set aside specifically for anyone from countries restricted by the ban in order to accommodate them quickly.

Also, free workshops to help people cope with the stress of the current immigration situation are beginning Feb 9 and will be held at the IU Health Center on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 4 p.m.

Stockton said CAPS has counselors who speak

foreign languages like Mandarin and Spanish.

Stockton said she thinks it would be beneficial to hire a counselor who speaks Arabic or other popular student languages. Until then, whenever there aren’t any counselors who speak the language of a patient uncomfortable with their English, a translator can be arranged for the patient’s counseling session.

Stressed students can always receive help from the 24-hour CAPS crisis line at 812-855-5711. CAPS also provides free stress management workshops, webinars, and mindfulness group events on a weekly basis for students, Stockton said.

Additionally, students can visit counselors at the Office of International Studies.

There has been an increase in people using CAPS recently, and though it is impossible to tell why, Stockton said the immigration rule has in fact been a source of stress some patients lately.

The recent RHA meeting not only discussed student resources like CAPS but also events and activities occurring all around campus and in the residence halls for the benefit of students.

RHA Vice President of Internal Affairs Dakota Coates said IU student government wants to partner with RHA and that one of the new ideas IUSA said they want to see implemented is the creation of new voting sites for federal and state government elections.

Each center president discussed this semester’s upcoming events. Ashton Center, Eigenmann Hall, Forest Quad, Spruce Hall, Union Street Apartments

“Please just watch out for students who might need some extra help and maybe some more positive vibes in their life.”

Anne-Therese Ryan, RHA president

and Willkie Quad representatives said they will be having Super Bowl parties this Sunday. The center presidents proposed a variety of party ideas separating their quad’s party from the others, such as Baked! cookies, Buffa Louie’s wings and poker games.

A speaker from the Netflix documentary “Audrey & Daisy” will be coming to IU after Little 500 to discuss sexual assault with students, one representative announced.

Another representative reported the Wells Quad will have about 170 beds and to potentially house the Women in Science, Technology, Informatics and Mathematics Living Learning Center.

She also said Wright will soon be renovated with the creation of pod bathrooms and renovation of the lounge areas.

The Student Health Committee will be focusing on student sexual health this semester, Coates said.

He said he is hoping to get a health center representative on the committee to show members of RHA how to use safe sex resources so they can do the same presentation for students at the residences halls.

“If we’re fighting for access to safe sex resources, then we all need to know exactly what it is we’re fighting for, or what it is we’re wanting to get for students,” Coates said.

A dry smell of dead plants loomed in the air at the IU Herbarium.

“People often call me to see how things at the herbarium are going,” said Eric Knox, senior scientist and director of the herbarium.

He chuckled. “I often say it’s pretty dead in here.”

Knox held a live plant in his hands and put it into a plant press to dry it out and to preserve it as a specimens for scientific research.

“Dead things are fun,” said Knox, sliding a plant into the plant press. “They are fun to look at and fun to study.”

Knox was having fun, but his work is also important, he said. These plant specimens allow Knox to help ecologists track changes of the flora in Indiana. Anyone can then look up this information online and find out key facts about flora in the state.

Knox is a professor who teaches Biol-B 300: Vascular Plants at IU. He got into the study of plants when his girlfriend from the University of Michigan told him to take a botany course because it was easy, he said.

Now he has his Ph.D. in botany.

“Sounds good to me,” he said. “Luckily, I really enjoyed that class and had an awesome professor who

made plants sound really interesting.”

He spent more than ten years researching plants that grow on mountains in Africa, from northern Ethiopia to South Africa.

Now that he’s seen the world, Knox said he is focusing on expanding the herbarium’s database online so others can look into it and become interested in the world around them.

Knox and his student scientists are in the process of completely digitalizing the collection, which currently includes about 150,000 specimens. They are adding these specimens to the Consortium of Midwest Herbaria website, a database with plant information.

Knox helps the curators and student workers identify each specimen by characterizing its type of leaves, its ovaries and its color. Once they characterize the plant, they add a label describing the specimen to that plant’s portfolio.

Once the plant’s portfolio is complete with the label, Knox and a curator’s assistant photograph the individual portfolio and upload it onto the computer. When a plant’s information is visible online they can close the portfolio and put it into one of the large cabinets, according to the plant family it belongs to.

In the Smith Research

Center, Knox and his student scientists come around to a man, Charles Deam, whom Knox calls his inspiration.

Deam, a botanist from Wells County, Indiana, had a collection of more than 70,000 plants. He gave his collection of plants to the University herbarium.

Knox pulled out a dusty copy of Deam’s book, “The Flora of Indiana,” which has all the species of specimens in every county of Indiana.

Knox said he uses Deam’s book to classify the specimens he has left behind for them.

“Every plant that is collected is collected for a reason,” Knox said. “I want to have a love for nature like Charles.”

Knox may be inspired by Deam’s work, but the curator’s assistant at the herbarium, Tomás Fuentes-Rohwer said he looks up to Knox and aspires to have a passion like him.

Fuentes, 22, a curator’s assistant at the herbarium, is in charge of managing the collection. He is looking into creating an app so people can look up plants that they’re interested in.

“I want people to be as curious as professor Knox is about plants,” said Fuentes, holding a camera in one hand. “We have so much more plants that we need to preserve and find information about.”

IU alumni help fund center From IDS reports

A gift of $1.25 million will support a new career services center for students at IU and will help them begin their professional careers. The recent gift was donated by C. Randall Powell, IU alumnus and director of Kelley School of Business career services, and his wife, Kathy Powell.

Powell was in charge of the IU Kelley School of Business career services office for more than 30 years and helped thousands of students start their careers.

He said this gift was his way to give back to the school that gave him so much.

“For us, this gift, from Kathy and me, is our way of paying back to the Kelley School of Business for all the great things that it has allowed us to accomplish,” Powell said in an IU press release. “There couldn’t have been many other places or careers where we could have accomplished so many different goals.”

The Conrad Prebys Career Services Center will

almost double the amount of space available for students to meet privately with recruiters. Thirty offices for staff members and about 70 interview rooms are planned.

“These new facilities are crucial to continuing this great legacy that our career services team helped develop over many years,” Powell said.

The $14 million center will provide career development for IU Kelley students and for those who are not studying business.

The number of IU students served by the Kelley Undergraduate Career Services office has almost doubled over 10 years. With the expansion of Hodge Hall and an increase in the number of students, new resources were needed to meet the demand, according to the press release.

Powell said one of the hardest things for students graduating college is finding their first job and that is his primary concern. Kelley School Dean Idalene Kesner agreed and said

his generosity was visible during his time in career services.

“He was very responsive to the needs of the students and the recruiters,” Kesner said in the press release.

“That’s just one reason why Kelley’s career services are world-class. He was very connected and never hesitated to pick up the phone to help students secure jobs.”

The center which will be named after IU alumnus Conrad Prebys, who donated $20 million to IU and the Kelley School in fall 2015 as part of IU’s Bicentennial Campaign, which has a goal of $2.5 billion. Fundraising for the Prebys Center continues, and the goal is for it to be fully funded through private gifts like the William J. Godfrey Graduate and Executive Education Center and Hodge Hall Undergraduate Center were.

The IU Bicentennial Campaign ends December 2019 to coincide with IU’s bicentennial year celebration in 2020.

Republican Party elects Hupfer as state chairman

Commissions plan for Trump

By Emily Ernsberger emelerns@indiana.edu | @emilyerns

In the first few days of President Trump’s time in office, some Bloomington boards and commissions consider their work cut out for them. They discussed their immediate goals in the aftermath of the president’s decisions so far in their first meetings of the year.

Despite gag orders on national parks departments and climate change denial by the nation’s highest offices, the city’s Environmental Commission released its action plan Wednesday. The plan says the commission seeks to help the city reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 17 percent by 2020 and reduce energy consumption in all of the city’s buildings by 20 percent, vehicle-miles traveled by 10 percent and landfill waste by 15 percent. The plan also says it

wants the city to conduct air-sampling tests.

“Climate change is the most important challenge facing our planet,” Mayor John Hamilton said in a statement released with the plan Wednesday. “Each of us has a responsibility to do what we can to protect our environment, and that begins at home.”

The Commission on Hispanic and Latino Affairs tried to strategize how to help those who may not be United States citizens.

Board members expressed worry about how Hispanic immigration might be affected by Trump’s recent executive orders regarding travel and refuge from seven Muslim-majority nations and the president’s statements against Hispanic immigrants. The commission discussed options on how to maintain driver’s licenses while becoming a

citizen and how to protect community members from deportation and violence.

The Commission of the Status of Women and the Commission on Hispanic and Latino Affairs had separate meetings this week in which both said they would like to work together for intersectional support for the populations. Women’s commissioner Amanda Stephens said at Thursday’s meeting the Latino commission has discussed issues, such as work exploitation of women, specifically in restaurants, that relate to women.

“Although the issues facing the Hispanic and Latino population in Bloomington have never been good, people are very, very scared for their lives now,” Stephens said.

All of these come the same week other city officials criticized Trump’s travel ban and promised

citizens they would do the best they can in order to help residents of Bloomington no matter the status.

“We in Bloomington stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Indiana University President Michael McRobbie and the IU community, with mayors across the country and with the many millions of patriotic Americans, to speak out against these unwise, shameful and unconstitutional orders,” Mayor Hamilton said at the Bloomington Common Council meeting Wednesday night.

Council member Steve Volan urged people who want to make changes in the government to run for precinct committee chairs.

Fellow member Isabel Piedmont-Smith also took time to express her remarks.

“We, a nation of immigrants, are turning away immigrants,” she said.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

Trump tells Israel to halt settlements

By Melanie Metzman and Sarah Gardner mmetzman@indiana.edu @melanie_metzman gardnese@indiana.edu @sarahhhgardner

In the last 24 hours, President Trump asked Israel not to build planned settlement homes, had a heated phone call with the Australian prime minister and promised to destroy the Johnson amendment.

Here is a rundown of what happened and why it matters.

Warning to Israel Trump warned Israel’s government Thursday to hold off on building settlements, slightly backing off the strong support for Israel he expressed during his presidential campaign.

Support for Israel was one of Trump’s most prominent foreign policy stances during his campaign. His pick for ambassador to Israel, David Friedman, is a strong supporter of the building of settlements in Israel-occupied West Bank.

Since Trump’s inauguration, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government has announced the building of more than 5,000 new homes in already settled areas in West Bank and the building of a brand-new settlement.

“While we don’t believe the existence of settlements is an impediment to peace, the construction of new settlements or the expansion of existing settlements beyond their current borders may not be helpful in achieving that goal,” the White House said in a statement. “The Trump administration has not taken an official position on settlement activity and looks forward to continuing discussions, including with Prime Minister Netanyahu when he visits with President Trump later this month.”

Trump and Netanyahu are scheduled to meet Feb.

The Indiana Republican Party unanimously elected Kyle Hupfer on Wednesday as its new chairman.

Hupfer is the chief administrative officer and general counsel for Indiana Mills and Manufacturing Inc. He was recently the co-chair of the Holcomb-Crouch Transition Board. He has also served as treasurer for Gov. Eric Holcomb’s campaign and as director of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources.

“We’re very excited about his appointment, and he is definitely someone who will work on the nuts and bolts of the state county by county,” Monroe County Republican Party Chair William Ellis said.

“I’m excited to work with him in Monroe County because there’s a lot of work we can do that we can’t do alone. We need the state help.”

Hupfer has announced his senior staff and said in a press release he plans to work to develop

a more comprehensive plan for the party’s candidates and better internal communication.

His senior staff is Matt Huckleby, recently the political director for Holcomb’s campaign for governor; Pete Seat, who served as the communications director for Holcomb’s campaign; and Mindy Colbert, who was deputy finance director for the governor’s campaign and ran her own political finance consulting firm.

“I don’t know Chairman Hupfer personally, but I wish him the best of luck,” Monroe County Democratic Party Chair Mark Fraley said. “I hope he does what he can for the state of Indiana.”

Holcomb, House Speaker Brian Bosma, RIndianapolis, and Senate President Pro Tempore David Long, R-Fort Wayne, all expressed their support of Hupfer in a press release Wednesday.

Hupfer is currently Republican chairman of the 5th Congressional District in Indiana, a position in which he will remain until early March.

Suspect sought after Subway armed robbery Wednesday afternoon From IDS reports

Police were searching for a suspect who made off in an armed robbery Wednesday with the entire cash register from a Subway restaurant on the city’s north side.

The suspect is described as a white man with sunglasses, a ragged blue sweatshirt and a red beanie, Bloomington Police Department Sgt. Dana Cole said.

One witness told police they saw him drive away in a white passenger car, possibly a Mitsubishi, with paper tags.

Police responded at about 4 p.m. to the Subway at 1839 N. Kinser Pike. Witnesses said the man had entered the restaurant and displayed a black semiautomatic

*

handgun.

No customers were in the store at the time, Cole said.

The three employees inside fled through the back door when the suspect showed the gun. The suspect then grabbed the entire cash register and fled.

Officers searched the area for cars and people matching the descriptions but found nothing, Cole said.

They stopped one white passenger car with paper tags on State Road 37, but nobody in the car matched the description of the suspect.

Nobody was harmed in the robbery, Cole said.

Detectives continue to investigate.

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

President Trump is joined by Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly during a visit to the Department of Homeland Security on Jan. 25. On Thursday Trump started action on several foreign and domestic matters.

15, when they will discuss the future of Israel settlements.

Diplomacy with Australia In a call Wednesday night with Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, Trump objected to an agreement made during Barack Obama’s presidency that would have the United States receive refugees from Australia who are living in detention centers on islands off the mainland due to strict government policies, according to CNN. Many of the refugees are from the seven countries under Trump’s ban.

Sources said Trump insisted it was a very bad deal for the U.S. to take 2,000 refugees and that one of them was going to be the next Boston bomber, according to CNN. Turnbull also told Trump several times the agreement was for 1,250 refugees, not 2,000. He also

said Australia was asking to submit them to the U.S. for refugee screening, and if the refugees did not pass the U.S. screening process, they would not be sent over.

Trump tweeted Wednesday night criticizing Obama’s decision to accept the Australian refugees.

“Do you believe it? The Obama Administration agreed to take thousands of illegal immigrants from Australia. Why? I will study this dumb deal!” he said.

Trump promises to destroy the Johnson amendment Trump addressed religious freedom and reiterated his desire to repeal the Johnson amendment at the National Prayer Breakfast Thursday morning.

The Johnson amendment limits the ability of religious tax-exempt organizations to endorse or oppose a political candidate.

At the breakfast, Trump said Americans should have

the “right to worship according to our own beliefs.”

“That is why I will get rid of and totally destroy the Johnson amendment and allow our representatives of faith to speak freely and without fear of retribution. I will do that,” he said.

Trump and Vice President Mike Pence promised to repeal the Johnson amendment on the campaign trail.

“The Johnson amendment has blocked our pastors and ministers and others from speaking their minds from their own pulpits,” Trump said at the Values Voter Summit in September.

Pence told the group at the same event that by repealing the Johnson amendment, “we will take the muzzle off.”

The president did not say the path he would take to repeal the amendment, which would require congressional action.

» OPIOID

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Opioids have settled in the heartland, but how should the epidemic be handled?

Is this a criminal crisis or a public health one? It’s a conversation not just about the climb and the fall but about the landing – whether people plummeting now deserve a cushion to land on or just the harsh crack of their bodies on impact. * * * At the heart of the opioid epidemic lies a handful of middle-American states with high populations of white, rural, working-class people.

Among them is Indiana, which, having seen a confluence of high-profile disease spread and legislative controversy also is at the core of one of the crisis’s most significant conversations.

This dispute does not divide evenly among party lines. Its participants are legislators, medical experts and advocates, and its shockwaves reshape the terrain for the people on the crisis’ front lines.

On an October Sunday one of the battle’s pieces of artillery coughs to life. It’s a sizable thing, a Grumman van with silver aluminum siding.

It is militaristic with its doorless cab and blunt nose. One side displays the logo of its owner, the Indiana Recovery Alliance. The van’s name is emblazoned above the rear door: “Vehicle for Positive Change II.” Chris Abert, the man with the keys, started delivering clothes and blankets to homeless people by bike with some friends in 2014.

Since then, the project has expanded to an office on Rogers Street and this van.

Contained within the van’s armored walls are tools for survival. There are unpressed bottle caps, condoms, pamphlets, biohazard containers and, most prominently, clean hypodermic needles. These are defenses against the wave of hepatitis C and HIV spurred by unclean needle sharing. In the first year after it opened in September 2015, the Monroe County needle exchange served more than 600 people, Abert said.

Less than two years ago syringe exchange programs were illegal under state law.

Then, in early 2015, southern Indiana’s Scott County saw an HIV outbreak of shocking proportions — around 200 cases — tied to needle sharing among opioid users. In May 2015 lawmakers allowed for the creation of needle exchanges.

Abert works near a series of blown-up pictures of needle tips in the IRA’s office.

The first shows a needle that’s never been used with clean lines leading to a sharp point.

By the third and final picture, of a needle used six times, the point is curled and crumbling. The façade is worn, like molten rock.

He and some volunteers finish their preparation for the day, and just after 5 p.m., he parks the van at the north side of Peoples Park. People start rummaging through the bins, and a guy in a baseball cap shouts, “Yeah, bring out the keg!” as volunteer Sarah Cahillane sets up coffee.

Most of the people at the park just take coffee or clothes, but within the first half-hour, a dozen or so people emerge from the van with plastic grocery bags bursting with items.

Abert moves around the van and the park and talks to participants, Food Not Bombs volunteers and other people he knows.

He chats for a while with one woman, a longtime Bloomington resident who now lives in Ohio. She tells him she’s been clean for three months. Before that she used the needle exchange, and she credits it with giving her the tools she needed to save the lives of friends who overdosed. Before she can expound, Abert points out a police officer standing near the van, and the woman, explaining she has a warrant out, shuffles away.

Abert is irritated. He fears the cop’s presence will spook already wary participants, and he’s unsure of his intentions. Police can’t legally arrest people for using needle exchanges. Abert turns his back to the officer, takes out his phone and snaps a selfie with the officer in the background.

The crowd dwindles by 7 p.m., when the volunteers start packing up the van. Abert asks Cahillane how many people they saw today. Sixteen, she says, most in the first few minutes.

“Obviously slowed down in the last 40 minutes,” another volunteer says.

“Since the fucking police showed up,” Abert responds.

He and Cahillane climb into the cab of the van, and the engine coughs to life again. Then the van pulls forward, rolls over a speed bump and rumbles away from its battlefield. * * * Programs like needle exchanges, safe injection sites and the distribution of the overdose-reversing drug naloxone fall under the banner of harm reduction.

Their toughest enemies are massive but microscopic: diseases, including HIV and hepatitis C, that can be transmitted by dirty needles.

HIV is more debilitating and, with situations like the Scott County outbreak, has gotten more attention as the opioid crisis worsens. However, experts from IU Health’s HIV-focused Positive Link program point out hepatitis C can have serious implications for a whole region’s health.

“You can look at hepatitis C as a precursor because it’s transmitted more easily than HIV, but it’s transmitted the same way,” program director Jill Stowers said.

Hepatitis C can move quickly, prevention coordinator Emily Brinegar added, because it can survive for some time outside the human body. That means that even intravenous drug users who don’t share needles can still transmit it by sharing other drug equipment.

The prevalence of IV drug use in Scott County and lack of resources for users made the HIV outbreak less surprising for experts, Stowers said.

In Monroe County, hepatitis C is a visible factor. When State Health Commissioner Jerome Adams declared the county’s health emergency in December 2015, he did so for a rise in hepatitis C cases.

Between September 2015 and September 2016, the county saw an estimated 200 new cases of hepatitis C, Abert said. In October, during a harm reduction panel at the Monroe County Public Library, he said factors like that could put Monroe County at risk for a Scott County-scale HIV outbreak.

Needle exchanges date back to at least 1983, and they now exist in 40 states. CDC studies have put the cost of preventing one case of HIV via needle exchange between $4,000 and $12,000 compared to $400,000 for a lifetime of HIV treatment. A 2016 study of the Scott County HIV outbreak published in the New England Journal of Medicine suggested access to clean needles could have prevented the outbreak.

Since the mid-1980s, opponents have argued the programs promote drug use and other criminal activity.

Several federally funded studies have found no link between needle exchanges and increased drug use, but the mindset may have caused Indiana’s longstanding ban.

In March 2015 former governor Mike Pence issued an executive order allowing clean needles to be distributed to quell the Scott County HIV outbreak. Prior to that, he staunchly believed needle exchanges encouraged drug use, according to an August profile of the now-vice president in the New York Times.

When he did agree to allow programs, he wasn’t swayed by evidence, rather by prayer.

Indiana’s law allows the programs only as reactive measures, not preventative ones, and the programs can’t receive state funding.

The exchanges have to meet a series of bureaucratic requirements. A local health officer must declare an HIV or hepatitis C epidemic connected to drug use, and the state health commissioner must declare a public health emergency. They can only operate as long as the emergency remains in effect.

A needle is one of the things that can land IV drug users in jail on felony charges.

In 2016 alone, according to Indiana Department of Correction data, 59 people were committed to the DOC on felony charges with syringe possession as their most

Top The Indiana Recovery Alliance van parks on the north side of Peoples Park every Sunday and waits for people to approach it. In the two-hour shift the van will see as many as 30 people who are coming to exchange needles, pick up free condoms or feminine hygiene products, or to get clothing that is also provided by the IRA. The IRA also has informational pamphlets that it uses to educate the public about the needle exchange program.

Left TJ Covey knows a thing or two about the stigma surrounding intravenous drug users as well. As an addict in the process of recovery, he has dealt with that stigma for majority of his life.

serious offense.

Incoming Governor Eric Holcomb told the Associated Press in early January he wants to eliminate some of those restrictions and allow local officials to establish needle exchanges.

It’s hard to quantify the Monroe County program’s effectiveness in stemming the spread of disease in the short time it’s been open, Abert said. But if results do come down the road and laws don’t change, the future of the needle exchange could be in question.

“If we lower the hepatitis C rates in Monroe County, we won’t be able to do the needle exchange anymore,” he said.

“It’s so fucked.” * * * It’s 2009, there is a Subway cash register, and Covey is taking $30 from it. This is not a holdup — he works here. This is not for drugs — he is two years sober, but his record makes it hard to get a job that pays enough to live, and he has an electric bill to pay, and now he is caught and back in jail, and the drugs are here, too.

Somewhere there is a doctor prescribing opioids for a 16-year-old Covey’s growing pains. Then he realizes how good they make him feel, and how good other drugs make him feel, and now, at 18, he’s blacked out on Xanax and stealing $20 in quarters from a laundromat.

Here is a locked door, on the other side of which has been a fight with his wife, and now the door is broken down.

Here is a toilet in a public bathroom, and here is him pulling water from it to shoot up.

Somewhere, there is this, the memory of a sentence spoken by another addict: “I’m caught in the middle of a war I didn’t sign up for.” * * * Crystal Scrogham still shoots anything she can put in a needle.

She visits the needle exchange a couple of times a week and hopes not to get sicker. She knows people who won’t. They’re too afraid of being targeted by police.

She goes by Crystal Weber, though a search in MyCase, Indiana’s public case summary service, shows that’s one of many aliases.

On another fall day in Peoples Park, a day without the van, Scrogham, 34, recounts the timeline of her addiction.

There is no definitive or singular experience with opioid addiction, but that basic arc

recurs: the highs, the rapid descents, the landings.

She found the heroin while digging through the tent in her backyard. She was 10, and her parents — both heavy drug users, she said — had let a transient hunter pitch camp behind their house.

She had been smoking and drinking since she was 4 or 5 years old. At 9, she started smoking in front of her parents so she wouldn’t have to sneak cigarettes from her mom. By the time she found the drugs in the tent, she was curious what heroin would be like.

That first time, she failed to finish the injection. Within the next two years, though, she was shooting heroin regularly. By her mid-teens, she was a self-described “full-time addict.”

Around that same time she thinks she contracted hepatitis C. She’d use whatever means she had to shoot drugs. She would take dirty needles her diabetic grandmother had used and use water from filthy puddles to cook the heroin. She was diagnosed with the disease at 17.

She’s overdosed and been brought back to life with naloxone. She sometimes has seizures spurred by the lights from passing cars.

For years she’s had recurring dreams. One told her she’d die at 33, and so on the eve of her 34th birthday, she locked herself in her mother’s apartment. She wouldn’t leave until after midnight, when she’d safely reached the other side.

Tw enty-two-year-old Tristan Kingsolver is younger than Scrogham and came later to drugs — his story sits on the crest of the epidemic’s wave — but he too saw how fast they take command.

On Aug. 28, 2015, his 3-year relationship with his girlfriend fell apart, and he started drinking a case of beer and a bottle of Jack Daniels every night. In early October, he began snorting heroin to numb himself. On Dec. 13, sixteen days after he started shooting meth, he lost a good job at Cook Pharmica.

Last year he went to jail on breaking-and-entering charges – he said he’d been robbed and wanted his stuff back.

Though opioid users may find themselves in jail on possession or paraphernalia charges and though jails do provide some pathways to recovery, Kingsolver said in his experience, jail isn’t necessarily a conducive environment for staying clean. He saw heroin, meth and marijuana in the Monroe County jail, he said — “more drugs per capita than the streets.”

American overdose deaths from opioids between 2005-2015 Overdose deaths more than doubled in 10 years.

When he left, after four months, he moved into the Amethyst House and set out to right his life. He’s never fully aligned with any one religion, but he’s in touch with his spirituality, meditates regularly and reads books on religion and philosophy, he said.

Kingsolver skydives, too.

In October he went on his second jump. Letting himself go thousands of feet above the Earth makes him feel closer to God. In January, he violated his drug court and went back to jail. * * * On a December afternoon, TJ Covey watches Jaxan plays video games on the floor of his mother’s apartment. Jaxan is home from school with a cold, and Covey has left the Amethyst House because curfews kept him from spending enough time with his kids.

Now he lives at his ex-wife Tiffany Smith’s apartment, where he can be closer to the boys.

“I don’t like being sick,” Jaxan says, eyes glued to the television.

“Yeah, me neither,” Covey says. He’s getting over a sinus infection, but he’s also recently gotten a diagnosis that’ll take longer to kick. Before he left the Amethyst House, a Positive Link representative returned with his test results.

Hepatitis C is in his blood.

He’s spent the past couple of weeks learning all he can about the disease. It’s seen medical advances in recent years, but it’s more than a mild inconvenience or a case of sniffles. It’s a direct, physical link to a life he hopes he’s left behind.

The test results didn’t surprise him. Somewhere in

the back of his mind he knew, he said.

He’s applied for insurance via the Healthy Indiana Plan, but he’ll have to see a doctor for more tests before moving on to treatment, if he’ll be able to move on to treatment.

It depends on a handful of factors — how much of the virus is in his body, what strain of the virus he has, how much it’s damaged his liver.

He hopes for one of the more modern treatments, which can treat the disease in as few as a dozen weeks with side effects less debilitating than those of old standards.

For now his own blood makes him nervous. Hepatitis C can typically only be transmitted by blood-toblood contact, so it’s mostly contracted by IV drug users, but worst-case scenarios play out in his mind. He and Smith use the same kind of razors, disposable 2-bladed Bics with aloe strips. What if he cuts himself shaving, and she accidentally uses his instead of hers?

He hasn’t told many people about the diagnosis yet – family, mostly. The other day he heard someone make a jab about someone being a “hep-havin’ junkie.” It was almost enough for him to yell at them, “I’ve got hepatitis.”

He wants a new job, though his criminal record makes it hard to find one. He’d like to advocate for people who are homeless and people with mental illnesses. Maybe he will be a drug counselor or lobby for legislative drug reform. After all, he’s lived it.

As much as anything, he wants to be with his boys.

Their dad has been sick, and he will be sick again, but someday, he’ll explain it all to his sons — how he found himself caught in the middle of a war he didn’t sign up for.

IU has long tapped into the talent-rich Sunshine State for prospective college athletes. Since the 2013 recruiting class, which included Florida natives Clyde Newton and T.J. Simmons, who, in their time at IU, helped bolster a strong linebacking corps, Florida’s been one of the top three states in Hoosier commits.

That pipeline took a step up with the 2017 class, which boasts nine Floridians of the 23 who signed their national letters of intent to continue their football careers at IU. Those commitments

generally remained firm as the coaching carousel saw IU Coach Tom Allen replace Kevin Wilson, Mike DeBord and Grant Heard replace Kevin Johns and James Patton, and Greg Frey leave for Michigan. No recruits from Florida decommitted, and IU lost just one overall.

“It’s all about relationships, and I think there is no question that helps a lot,” Allen said as he introduced his 2017 recruits.

“When you get some young men from an area, that helps.”

Fourteen of the players on IU’s 2016 roster came to IU by way of Florida, and some hail from the same high schools as

current teammates and the new 2017 crop of Hoosiers.

Don Mesick, who coached 2017 signee Tramar Reece at Clearwater High School in Clearwater, Florida, said IU finds success in its strategy to key in on guys early and stick with them. Mesick said IU’s staff had as much of a presence in the area as state schools and saw Frey consistently.

“I know he’s not there any longer, but this is his territory,” Mesick said.

“He’s a Clearwater grad.

He’s down here a lot. Any time that they’re allowed to be out and recruiting he was here.”

Allen isn’t ignorant to the reality that coaches

6 may leave for other opportunities. He understands position coaches may leave to take coordinator jobs and coordinators may leave to take head coaching positions, so IU staff-recruits.

If a coach leaves for a new opportunity like Frey did or quarterbacks coach Shawn Watson did to become the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Pittsburgh, a recruit doesn’t feel like his only connection to the staff is gone.

“If it had just been Coach Frey, there’s a possibility some of them would have decommitted,” Mesick said of IU’s recruiting strategy in the region.

Although Frey’s departure in the days before National Signing Day didn’t appear to affect the Hoosiers’ 2017 recruiting class, it may very well influence future classes. Lane Kiffin took the head coaching job at FAU. Charlie Strong is now the head coach at South Florida. Those two add to the already deep well of high-profile coaches who’ve set up shop in Florida.

Although Kiffin and Strong came late to the party this recruiting cycle and their efforts didn’t result in any of Mesick’s players flipping their commitments, their presence was certainly felt.

“The kids listened because of the names,”

Mesick said. “They certainly listened because of the names that those guys have. That’s going to be something going forward that I’m sure that’s going to have an effect on the recruiting down here. I can’t imagine it not.”

As IU looks to compete with those recruiting talents, it will have to do so without Frey. Allen and others may have their own relationships in the Sunshine State, but that’s a loss they won’t be able to gloss over.

“I’m not saying it’s going to dry up but certainly they’re not going to be able to have the same relationship with the coaches that Coach Frey did,” Mesick said.

Recently promoted football coach leaves for Pitt From IDS reports

IU quarterbacks coach Shawn Watson was named Pittsburgh’s offensive coordinator Thursday evening, Pitt announced in a press release.

“As a football coach, he is extremely knowledgeable, an excellent recruiter and will be a tremendous strength in the

quarterback room and offensive staff room,” Pitt Coach Pat Narduzzi said in the release. “I’m really looking forward to having Shawn and his wife Anita join us in Pittsburgh.”

Narduzzi and Watson coached together in the early 1990s when Narduzzi got his first opportunity as a wide receivers coach at Miami (Ohio). Watson was

promoted to quarterbacks coach and running game coordinator at the school and was a mentor for Narduzzi, the Pitt coach said in the release.

“Ever since that time, we have always talked about being able to reunite on the same staff again,” Narduzzi said.

“I’m really thrilled that the time has finally arrived

and he’ll be joining us at Pitt as our new offensive coordinator.”

Watson held a quality control role at IU during the 2016 regular season after previously coaching quarterbacks at Texas and Louisville. He coached Teddy Bridgewater at Louisville. He was also offensive coordinator at Colorado, Nebraska and

Louisville.

At the beginning of January, IU Coach Tom Allen named Watson as IU’s quarterbacks coach after Watson coached the position for the Foster Farms Bowl on Dec. 28. Watson said he was excited to work with new IU offensive coordinator Mike DeBord and developed a fondness for Allen’s passion.

Watson was also the primary recruiter for 2017 quarterback commit Nick Tronti, who was named Florida’s Mr. Football and signed his letter of intent for IU on Wednesday.

Pitt finished 8-5 in 2016 and suffered a 34-31 loss in the Pinstripe Bowl against Northwestern.

Disconnecting from social media is helpful According to my friends and parents, my biggest flaw is that I usually am impossible to reach.

My parents have a regular joke that if I am in one room, there is a great chance that my phone is in the opposite side of the house.

Despite how hard it can be to reach me, I love social media because it’s a great way to connect with people, and the internet is one of my favorite inventions ever.

During this semester, though, I found myself withdrawing more and more from social media.

As the semester has gone on, I’ve noticed my mental state has improved as I’ve unplugged.

This isn’t just an experience that is distinct to me.

While headlines that claim depression can be completely prevented by limiting social media presence are hyperbolic, there have been correlations between increased mental well-being and decreased social media presence.

In a 2016 study, the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine found an increase in the amount of screen time and depression levels.

While correlation does not mean causation, there might be some truth to the statement.

We spend a lot of time in front of various screens every day, and it can be easier to stay home on the computer than go out.

This could be because when we are feeling down we feel more tempted to go online in order to find social connections.

However, I am more likely to spend time on social media if I am lonely

Neeta Patwari is a junior in biology and Spanish.

and am wondering how others are spending their time.

While we can all make fun of the fear of missing out, I know many people who experience it — especially if they spend hours scrolling through social media feeds to see the highlights of other people’s lives.

While the connections between self-esteem and social media may just be a correlation, there is evidence that leaving it, even for a small time, can help a person’s general mood.

According to an article published by the Guardian, 11 million teenagers left Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram in 2011-15.

Many of these people leave in favor of more private apps because there is a general distaste for sharing everything with your 700 “friends.”

While these people can only tell their individual experiences, many of them reported feeling less constrained and having overall better social interactions in real life.

Leaving social media won’t cure you of depression or anxiety.

However, it can make you feel better about living the life you want without the constant pressures to act or behave a certain way.

Since limiting social media, I have more time to focus on things, like running and friends, that I want to spend time on.

Disconnection has its perks. npatwari@umail.iu.edu

We will keep bringing home the bacon In all honesty, bacon has been the only thing keeping me sane these days.

So when news of the aporkalypse, a possible 2017 bacon shortage, broke out yesterday, I felt like I had a panic attack.

I dropped what I was doing, ran straight to my car and headed to the supermarket to pick up three packs of center-cut goodness in case it would be my last rendezvous with the one meat product that truly gets me.

As I waited in the checkout line, headlines flooded my twitter feed: “Bacon supply is lowest since 1957,” “Bacon prices soar due to pig shortage,” “The Looming Disaster of A US Bacon Shortage.”

My mind was boggled by the idea of my future children not being able to indulge in the delicious yolk-exploding masterpiece that is the bacon egg and cheese.

A breakfast buddy would simply be the pal you drown your soggy cereal sorrows next to at the kitchen table. What a sad image.

Thankfully, like most news these days, this was fake news. Regardless, the fact that the United States Department of Agriculture was willing to play with the hearts and minds of young bacon enthusiasts across the country really upsets me.

According to an interview in the New York Times, Rich Deaton of the Ohio Pork Council admitted his website, baconshortage.com, was simply a marketing opportunity.

I’m glad it was just a strategy to sling more bacon, but that’s also a pretty slimy way to sell more product.

The site, now taken down, was supposed to get the attention of bacon lovers. Once clicked, the information there should

have quelled the fears of shortages.

“We can’t control how news is interpreted,” Mr. Deaton added. This is the very bottom-feeder logic that propels fake news — if you provide false information, even in the form of a misleading URL, it is in fact your fault no matter who’s interpreting it.

People post articles on their Facebook timelines that they’ve only read the headlines of.

Therefore, people who see “baconshortage.com” aren’t going to click on the actual webpage.

That would obviously take too much time and effort.

Instead, they’ll have a colossal meltdown in front of their entire astronomy lecture because no one cares about Cassiopeia when the pork industry is facing a 50-year low — unless you’re a vegetarian, and you should have stopped reading this column like 300 words ago.

Steve Meyer, the vice president of pork analytics for EMI Analytics — if only all job titles could sound this cool — told the New York Times, “There’s plenty of hogs coming.” Plenty — it’s music to my ears.

Although this panic was quickly debunked, I still don’t appreciate the convoluted marketing strategies employed by the Ohio Pork Council.

When Superbowl weekend is right around the corner, it’s insensitive to say the least.

Ron Swanson would not be pleased.

If only the shortage of sane political leaders were a hoax as well, I’d sleep better at night knowing that our president remembers who Frederick Douglass was. jlkarl@umail.iu.edu

Needle exchange faces abuse Though a good way to curb HIV, needle exchanges can be misused Many politicians and agencies contend that needle exchanges are a worthwhile investment to decrease the spread of HIV. Both the Centers for Disease Control and the National Institute of Health have stated the needle exchange programs have a significant effect on the reduction of HIV cases.

While there are certainly many pros to needle exchanges, the programs can be abused.

Early in 2015 a needle exchange, along with immunizations and counseling referrals, was set up in Austin, Indiana, to respond to the record number of HIV cases showing up in Austin’s health centers. A center was put in place that tested for HIV, helped those infected reduce their viral load and

traded current users clean needles for their used ones.

Health officials in Austin claim very few HIV cases have been diagnosed in the months following the implementation of the new health center and that as many as 80 percent of the people diagnosed with HIV are virally suppressed, meaning they have very little HIV in their blood and are less likely to pass it on or experience health problems as a result.

A member of the Editorial Board rode along with IU journalism student Emily Jones to do a piece on Austin. During an interview with a local pizza restaurant employee who was also a recovered addict, the needle exchange was painted in a very different light.

The local, who requested

anonymity, claimed fewer people were being diagnosed with HIV because many people were dying before they could come in to the health center.

He also said the clean needles were often not used by those they were given to but rather being sold to buy more heroin, which was then injected through used needles.

Before showing our board member houses where many of the addicts were, he said 60 members of his graduating class had died in the 15 years since he had graduated, most from heroin-related causes.

These are just the claims of one man, but because of them the Editorial Board believes great caution should be taken during the implementation of needle

exchanges. Some politicians, like Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill, agree more parameters to be set on needle exchanges.

The needle exchange program, like any system, has potential vulnerabilities and places where it can be abused. Systems, however, that deal with something as serious as drug addiction must be implemented with greater caution and more care than most systems.

Because of the stories of the events in Austin, the Editorial Board wants Indiana to make needle exchange systems more accessible to cities, but also to implement more requirements for those systems.

The potential abuses for these systems are scary and could wreck havoc among the Hoosier population.

MOORE TO SAY

UC Berkeley riots attack campus freedom of speech In a complete disregard for free speech yesterday, protesters at the University of California, Berkeley, rioted in response to a scheduled speech by Milo Yiannopoulos. The event was cancelled.

Violent protesters shot fireworks at buildings, threw Molotov cocktails, trashed the student union and forced police riot units to disband the demonstration, and all of this was because a political figure wanted to come to Berkeley and say words in an auditorium.

It pains me how far college campuses have fallen.

Yiannopoulos is a notorious editor of the even-morenotorious Breitbart news, and he often expresses his views extremely bluntly.

Many people vilify him as the face of the “alt-right,” a propaganda term for a perceived white-supremicist group. He often responds to criticism with trolling and doubling down on his controversial rhetoric.

In short, he’s a pretty

unlikable guy to a lot of Americans — especially liberal Americans. Just Google “Milo Yiannopoulos views,” and you’ll find plenty of articles denouncing him.

Despite whether or not we agree with the views of people like Yiannopoulos, we must all look at the violent protesters with nothing but disdain.

We live in a world where people are so terrified of opposing viewpoints that rioting is more appropriate than allowing dissent.

Berkeley, once a bastion for free speech, has regressed to the point that most students interviewed by CNN expressed relief rather than outrage at the cancellation of Yiannopoulos’ speech.

This is the same school that started the Free Speech Movement in 1964, a response to administrators limiting political activism on campus.

This movement originated as a push for more freedom of speech and academic freedom, reaching its goals

through peaceful protest.

Fast forward more than 50 years, and we have a completely backwards movement on the exact same campus. People taking this protest and turning it into a full-blown riot is downright horrifying.

It feels like we’ve gone back in time, not forward.

The historical liberals, the ones who marched with Martin Luther King Jr. and sang Bob Dylan’s folk songs with all their might, are gone.

We now have a leftist movement that has become the academic establishment.

They want to strip away freedoms and sweep those who disagree under the rug.

People who support violent left-wing rioters and cowards who sucker-punch political figures in the face need to understand one thing: you’re supporting the establishment now.

It’s an establishment that we bred on our college campuses that tells us we don’t have to let people speak if they don’t agree with us.

Dylan Moore is a sophomore in business and English.

People who advocate for free speech and expression on college campuses are becoming increasingly rare.

Let’s look at another college – Syracuse University.

There, students are now encouraged by the administration to report anyone making jokes about sensitive topics, avoiding other people or posting on social media about race, gender, age, etc.

They want students to report one another for free association and expressing opinions. Give me a break.

I don’t understand why anyone would stand up and say “I’m in!” when the establishment wants to strip us of our rights. In fact, I’m calling for IU to invite Milo Yiannopoulos to speak on our campus.

We can’t let anything — person or institution — take away our voices. dylmoore@umail.iu.edu

Black History Month focus of First Thursday

By Cody Thompson Comthomp@umail.iu.edu @CodyMThompson

After her son painted a picture using chocolate syrup, Mihee Kim-Kort’s other children grabbed her wrist and dragged her across the museum to another activity.

As part of the First Thursdays event series, the IU Eskanazi Museum of Art had several works of art, activities and games for visitors to interact with in celebration of Black History Month.

“It was a great way to kick off Black History Month,” Kim-Kort said. “I’d never taken the kids to the museum before and it’s just such a wealth of resources and a lot of fun for the community.”

To highlight the month, the museum featured four works — “Lightning Lipstick” by Robert Colescott, “Bark of the Timber, Fog of the Night” by Thornton Dial, “Cross Section” by Richard Hunt and “La Reine”

by Harold Cousins — by famous black creators.

On top of the display of art pieces, the event

featured activities such as live poetry, painting with chocolate, I-spy and a photo scavenger hunt.

Abe Morris, manager of public relations and marketing, said First Thursdays are great because they bring together the University and the region. He said it brought people in who can’t come during their normal hours when the museum closes at 5 p.m.

“It’s a really great mix,” Morris said. “It’s real popular with families and students. You get to meet so many new people. We’ve got a real diverse group of people coming to these events.”

One of the exhibits was “Hidden Faces” by Charles Audu. He painted portraits of famous black figures in history and cut the pictures into squares. It was up to the participants to put his work back together. If they could reassemble the portraits and name the figure, they would win an envelope containing anywhere between $1 and $20.

“I wanted to represent the fact that we’re all hidden faces in the crowd,”

Mihee Kim-Kort sits with her son, Desmond Kort, at the February First Thursday event in the Eskanazi Museum of Art. The event celebrated Black History Month with artwork produced by famous artists, poetry and interactive events.

Audu said. “But with all the hard work all these people did, they have impacted our culture in a really powerful

way.”

Audu said he felt blessed to have an exhibit in the museum. He smiled as

the crowd started to pour into his area and dozens of hands reached toward his paper squares. It was

only 30 minutes into the night.

“This makes me feel amazing,” Audu said.

Psychiatry professor visits Gallery Walk will include IU to discuss depression visual art, poetry readings

By Hannah Boufford hbouffor@umail.iu.edu @hannahboufford

Gathered late Thursday afternoon in the Whittenberger Auditorium, students, staff and community members listened to Kay Redfield Jamison discuss and answer questions on mood disorders and suicide.

Jamison is a professor of psychiatry at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. She is a researcher and authority in the areas of mood disorders, depression and suicide. In addition to researching manic depression in depth, she fights her own struggle with the illness.

Discussing her own experience and decision to tell people about her diagnosis, Jamison explained talking about the illness helps bring light to the issue.

“If you can try and describe something, perhaps it takes away some of the awfulness,” she said.

Though freshman Cara Benjamin attended the session as part of her Global Health Connections class,

she said she recognized the importance of talking about mood disorders and suicide.

Benjamin’s boyfriend’s father committed suicide less than a year ago, and the pair has been working through the death together.

“His dad was like a dad to me,” she said.

She said in helping a person deal with a loved one’s suicide it is important to remind them the suicide was not their fault and they should talk through their emotions.

“You need to reach out to those people that are there for you,” Benjamin said.

In addition to her boyfriend’s father, Benjamin’s stepfather’s dad also committed suicide. Though she didn’t know the man, she said her stepdad told her he did not want to talk about the death for years after it occurred but never felt closure until he did.

Jamison said, in addition to helping people work through their feelings on suicide and mood disorders, talking about mental illnesses can help de-stigmatize them.

She attributed a lot of the stigma around mood

disorders to the belief that mental illnesses are untreatable and the public presentations of those who are untreated.

“It means people have no notion of how treatable these illnesses are,” she said.

Roger Morris, a sophomore studying business at IU, attended Jamison’s discussion due to his interest in depression and mood disorders.

Morris said he has friends with disorders and suicidal thoughts.

“It’s hard to see people you care about suffering, and the kind of suffering you see in people with depression is a different kind of suffering,” he said.

Morris said because what he sees in his friends is mental suffering, it is often hard to know what to do. However, he stressed the fact that people educating themselves on mental illness and attempting to understand depression and suicide is crucial in helping those who suffer.

“As much as I can,” Morris said. “I try to be there for them and not let them think they’re alone.”

February’s Gallery Walk will celebrate more than just the visual artists in Bloomington’s art scene.

Along with shows coming up in the various gallery spaces across town starting at 5 p.m., members of Bloomington’s poetic community will come together starting at 5:30 p.m. to perform readings in Fountain Square Mall.

By Hand and Gather, located within Fountain Square Mall, will open their latest exhibits on the walls and tables of their shops.

Tova Lesko, manager of

By Hand, said the combination of poetry and physical artwork is natural.

“I think celebrating the arts, whether that be pottery, poetry or any number of other things, together only makes the night more rich and robust,” Lesko said. “I think that by

conjoining these two events, more connections are likely to be made.”

Lesko said By Hand’s space will be decorated with Larry Spears’ pottery in a show called “Vessels.”

“By giving the artist the entire space that is reserved for Gallery Walk events, the public is able to see a wider range of their works,” Lesko said.

Talia Halliday, founder of Gather handmade shoppe & co., said her space will display the work of Ryan Woods, working in mixed media.

The show differs from past exhibits running at Gather, which are usually painting- or pottery-based.

“This is the first time in a while that we’re having a mixed-media artist come in,” Halliday said. “Ryan uses a lot of different media than what we’ve had before, even using some elements of collage, oil paint, etc.”

Lesko said she loves Spears’ pottery work, which plays with shape and form.

“I love the painterly designs he creates in his glaze work and the altered forms that his pieces take,” Lesko said. “I also think that his color schemes reflect the natural environment surrounding him.”

Gallery Walk unites art lovers and members of the Bloomington scene to come together and appreciate the work of all types of artists, Halliday said.

“I like getting to see the community come out and enjoy art and walk all around downtown — taking in the sights and the smells — and just being part of a community,” Halliday said.

Gallery Walk also provides the opportunity for artists and fans of art to mingle.

“My favorite part of Gallery Walk is connecting the Bloomington community with artists, and vice versa,” Lesko said. “It is a time of coming together and celebrating what makes Bloomington the beautiful and diverse community that it is.”

Students share stories as part of ‘Dear World’ project

By Christine Fernando ctfernan@indiana.edu @christinetfern

A woman stood facing a camera with the words “Dim Your Light for No Man” scrawled across her chest. To her right, photographs of others with words on their skin flashed across a screen.

The photographers were part of a project called “Dear World.” The group travels and photographs people’s portraits and the stories the subjects choose to write on their skin. The project has involved subjects from around the world-- from Boston marathon bombing survivors to refugee camps in Jordan.

On Thursday, the “Dear World” team traveled to IU to photograph students gathered in the Indiana Memorial Union’s Alumni Hall.

“We try to take the portrait of a community by telling the stories of individual people,” Executive Producer Jonah Evans said. “We hear people’s stories of love, loss, hope and fear.”

The woman, graduate student Alyssa Beauchamp, said she chose these words “Dim Your Light for No Man” because they illustrate her identity as a queer Latina woman and her hope for others like her. They also allowed her to stand as an individual on a college campus where most try to blend in.

“It’s a story of defiance,” Beauchamp said. “Because of my identity, I often feel silenced for being too angry or too much, but they’re trying to squash this fire that won’t dim. I won’t stop being who I am.”

Evans said stories like these can be difficult to share in everyday life, especially in places like the Midwest where politeness is vital. People often avoid directly confronting personal stories because of the desire to be polite, he said.

“We often feel weird about prying and asking questions that dig a little deeper,” he said.

“But these portraits are begging you to ask for the stories behind them and force you to have that conversation and then share a more authentic portrayal of yourself.”

Senior field producer Tori McCarthy said these vulnerable and powerful stories are especially important today because of political divisiveness.

“This partisanship can divide us, but when you hear people’s stories, you’re more likely to have empathy and understand each other,” McCarthy said. “These narratives can be a uniting force.”

Beauchamp said it was the potential of these stories to help the country heal from political divisiveness that stood out to her most.

“The climate in this country right now can make you feel hopeless and power-

less,” she said. “This experience helps remind us of our strength.”

Evans said one part of the experience that stands out to him is its ability to turn the traditional relationship between photographer and subject on its head.

“You’re in charge of this story you want to share,” he said. “It’s not the photographer speaking through the portraits. It’s the people speaking through the photography.”

Overall it is the presentation of the stories at the evening reception that he said affects him the most.

During the reception, students took the stage to tell the stories behind the words they had written. One student had written “Surviving my grief” across her chest, just below where a locket from her dead father hung from her neck.

Another had written “Mexican not Whitezican” across his arms while the next, donning a bright pink hijab, had the words “We gonna be alright” on her chest.

Evans said this presentation is what gives people the opportunity to see what their individual story looks like in the collection of their community’s stories.

“It’ll be almost like a tapestry that was built today,” Evans said. “But every single thread in that tapestry is a beautiful, unique story.”

IU faces big test at Wisconsin Grad transfer

By Zain Pyarali

IU (15-8)

zpyarali@iu.edu | @ZainPyarali

at No. 10 Wisconsin (19-3) 12 p.m., Saturday, Madison, Wisconsin

IU men’s basketball is a NCAA tournament team at the moment.

According to Thursday’s ESPN Bracketology, the Hoosiers are slotted as a nine seed. The triple-overtime win against Penn State on Wednesday night brought IU back to .500 in conference play and kept the fan base from calling for IU Coach Tom Crean’s job. However, the upcoming threegame slate will be a major challenge for the Hoosiers.

IU will face two teams that have already beaten it soundly this season in addition to in-state rival Purdue.

While one play could have decided the game against Penn State, IU was able to escape with a win. Now the Hoosiers have to use that momentum to try to knock off the No. 10 Wisconsin Badgers at 1 p.m. Sunday in Madison, Wisconsin.

Crean said he feels confident in his team’s ability to improve from the tripleovertime contest because he was in a similar situation while coaching at Marquette. In February 2001 Crean’s Golden Eagles lost to Louisville in triple overtime, and although his team didn’t play perfectly in that game, he said he felt it benefited them in the long run.

“I was thinking of that to be honest with you,” Crean said after the Penn State game. “And it’s like just

looking back at those guys, continuing to fight through it, no question they get better from that. No question.”

It’s going to take more than momentum for the Hoosiers to go into Madison and knock off the Badgers.

The last time the two met in early January, the Hoosiers were reeling after losing two in a row and found themselves in a 13-0 hole against the Badgers in the first three minutes of the game.

The biggest battle Sunday will be down low with sophomore forward Thomas Bryant going up against Wisconsin sophomore Ethan Happ. Bryant has stepped up the past two games in the absence of junior guard James Blackmon Jr. Bryant tied his career-high in points against Northwestern and put up a new career-high with 31 against Penn State.

Last time these two teams squared off Happ put up 19 points to Bryant’s six, and the Wisconsin big man hasn’t slowed down since.

He’s averaging nearly a double-double per game and was named Big Ten player of the week the last two weeks.

Bryant said the team’s play elevates when a teammate gets hurt, and his individual play does as well.

Sophomore center Thomas Bryant drives toward the Penn State net during the game Wednesday. IU will take on Wisconsin on Sunday.

gives me,” Bryant said. “I’m here for the team and trying to win each and every game and looking forward to it.”

Three-point defense and turnovers plagued the Hoosiers against the Badgers in their first matchup, and those two phases of the game are still a big issue for them. Wisconsin shot 50 percent from beyond the arc in the first matchup while forcing 13 IU turnovers and turning them into 23 points.

The Hoosiers tend to over-help on defense, and if the opposing offense sets a high-ball screen and moves the ball quickly around the arc, that usually leads to one player being open for a 3-pointer. In the past two matchups opponents are hitting 38 percent from beyond the arc against IU, and Wisconsin is shooting 35 percent from downtown this season.

Turnovers have hurt the Hoosiers lately, and against

the Nittany Lions they were able to escape with a win even after giving the ball up 23 times. In the past three games combined, IU has allowed 74 points from 52 turnovers.

On Wednesday night, the positives were able to outweigh the negatives enough to give the Hoosiers a boost moving forward. A win against Wisconsin on Sunday would be an important addition to the Hoosiers’ NCAA tournament résumé moving forward.

“I don’t think anybody’s going to walk out of there and feel, is going to have a big head because we played so great,” Crean said. “But we did have 66 points in the paint. Those were some good things there. We did a lot of good things. But we’ve got to get better and being able to battle through something like that helps them understand they can do it again if need be.”

When the Hoosiers travel to the East Coast for matches at Maryland and No. 14 Rutgers this weekend, 149-pound graduate transfer and New York native Chris Perez will have a homecoming of sorts.

Perez will wrestle in front of family and friends for the first time this season when the Hoosiers face the Scarlet Knights Sunday after battling with the Terrapins on Friday.

As a wrestler at nearby Princeton for the first four years of his college career, Perez said he is very familiar with Rutgers and their facilites. He will take on No. 14 Ken Theobold, who he has seen several times in the past, Sunday.

“It’ll be interesting,” Perez said. “I have wrestled Theobold from Rutgers a couple times. It will be a little different with the different colors on, but it will be fun. I am excited to get back in the gym.”

IU was able to get its first Big Ten win of the season at Northwestern last weekend, and 184-pound senior No. 6 Nate Jackson said the victory was just the beginning.

“I don’t think anybody was surprised,” Jackson said. “It is definitely good to get it out of the way, and now we just have to keep building. Going in I think everybody was pretty confident in their matchups.

For the most part, we took care of business.”

Although the Hoosiers have a matchup set with the ranked Scarlet Knights, no one is overlooking Maryland.

Jackson said Maryland will be a tough Big Ten opponent and presents the team with another opportunity to get a conference win under its belt.

After the match against Maryland, Perez will return home looking to bounce back at Rutgers after a disappointing match Sunday.

“I was definitely frustrated with the loss on Sunday,” Perez said. “I have two big opportunities this week, so you have to just put it out of your mind. Coming to the match with a good attitude, wrestle my style and match, stay in my positions, and I should do OK.” Perez said he hopes to do well in enemy territory because he will have several fans, including his mom.

Against Maryland and Rutgers, IU will aim to continue to build toward the Big Ten and NCAA championships.

“Everything is a stepping stone here,” Jackson said. “We are just trying not to take any steps back.”

170+ student organizations stand with IU against TRAVEL ban On Sunday, January 29, President McRobbie issued a statement reinforcing Indiana University’s commitment to global education, and urging the federal government to end its travel bans on immigrants and refugees from certain countries. We, the Board of Aeons and the undersigned organizations, write in support of President McRobbie’s statement as well as subsequent messages E\ RWKHU DGPLQLVWUDWRUV DQG FDOO RQ WKH ,8 FRPPXQLW\ WR UHḊUP LWV YDOXHV IU upholds respect for the dignity of others and the importance of a diversity of community and ideas.

The administration’s executive order concerning immigration and refugee policies endangers our values. Members of our community from Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Libya, Yemen, and Somalia, as well as members of refugee, international, Muslim, undocumented, and otherwise marginalized groups feel uncertain about the freedom of movement of themselves and their loved ones.

Our organizations thrive due to the vital contributions made by individuals of racial, ethnic, and religious minority groups. We strongly encourage our community to ensure all marginalized individuals feel safe and supported as they face rapid and uncertain changes in our nation.

We acknowledge that the recent events are neither new nor unprecedented in the context of our country’s past immigration policies. These events harken back to historical divides. Precisely this history pushes us to avoid our past mistakes. Going forward, we must not back down from the challenges that threaten the very diversity that enriches us.

We express solidarity with those who feel alienated. We encourage students to refer to resources R̆HUHG E\ WKH 2̇FH RI ,QWHUQDWLRQDO 6HUYLFHV 0RVW LPSRUWDQWO\ ZH XUJH HDFK PHPEHU RI RXU community to remain committed to the values that form the foundation of Indiana University: an endless striving for full diversity; friendly, collegial, and humane environments; and a strong commitment to academic freedom.
