IU splits series against Cougars

By Michael Hughes michhugh@indiana.edu | @MichaelHughes94

The only thing that could stop IU after Saturday was rain. And lots of it.

IU (4-4) lost Friday against the College of Charleston 4-2 but responded by winning 15-1 against Charleston (5-3) Saturday.

“It was just finding holes and getting a good swing off,” IU Coach Chris Lemonis said. “We have a talented group, probably have underperformed a little bit, but we have a talented group of hitters. When they get going you’re going to see a lot of that.”

But when IU and scheduled starting pitcher sophomore Jake Kelzer got to Patriots Point in Charleston, S.C., Sunday morning, it found a waterlogged field and a forecast that predicted rain through 6 p.m.

Due to IU’s travel plans back to Bloomington, the teams could not start playing an inning after 3 p.m., making playing the five innings required for an official game almost impossible.

Senior outfielder Will Nolden said he was disappointed that Sunday’s game couldn’t be played because of all the momentum IU had after Saturday’s win.

On Friday, IU was stymied by Charleston’s starting pitcher, Taylor Clarke, who pitched eight scoreless innings while striking out 11 Hoosiers and walking none.

IU was able to get 11 hits compared to Charleston’s five, but Charleston had three extra base hits to IU’s one. Two of those were Charleston home runs.

IU outhit Charleston 14-6 Saturday, but seven of those 14 hits were for extra bases, including two triples from senior 2nd baseman Casey Rodrigue.

But the biggest difference, Lemonis said, was IU’s ability to hit in key situations, whether that be with runners in scoring position, with two outs or both.

“We addressed it before the game and just talked about it,” Lemonis said. “I think we had a bunch of twoout hits, and I think we drove in a lot of runs with guys out there.”

Nolden played particularly well.

After being subbed out in fifth inning last Saturday, Nolden entered the series with one hit in 19 at bats and no RBIs. Nolden went 3-for-8 with four RBIs in two games and eight at bats against Charleston.

Nolden also played both games in right field after starting the previous seven in center field.

Briefly a Bloomington mayoral candidate, Adam Mikos is an IU graduate who has worked around the country as a political consultant.

Five men entered the 2015 Bloomington mayoral race.

The fifth, Adam Mikos, left after 72 hours.

By Neal Earley njearley@indiana.edu

At the time, he was working in New Jersey, one of the 12 or 13 states political consulate Adam Mikos has gone to help run campaigns.

Assembly man Gordon Johnson, D-Bergen, approached Mikos and praised his work in the campaign.

Johnson asked Mikos when his internship with Five Corner Strategies — a group that helped run his campaign in New Jersey — would be over.

Mikos was surprised by the question.

“What are you talking about?” he replied to the assemblyman.

Johnson asked again when Mikos’ internship with the consulting group ended. The assemblyman was shocked to hear Mikos was working for Five Corners full-time, when all along he was convinced Mikos was in high school.

Mikos was the last candidate to file for mayor of Bloomington, only to drop out 72 hours later, a decision he said he still wonders about.

After a few conversations with Monroe County Democratic Party chair Mark Fraley, the political-consultant-turned-mayoral-candidate was convinced to withdraw from the Democratic primary after only three days.

Mikos filed just before the noon deadline Feb. 6, but by noon Feb. 9, Mikos told the Indiana Daily Student he was out of the race.

“Mr. Mikos had filed around the same time

that there were four other people who filed for office,” Fraley said. “And so it originally aroused my suspicion because five people filed on the very, very last day at the very last moment, and I didn’t know who any of them were — which is actually very odd.”

Fraley said as chair, he’s had many prospective Democratic candidates come to him to consult about any possible decisions to run.

Fraley said he spoke with mayoral candidates John Hamilton and Darryl Neher prior to their filing for mayor and John Linnemeier after he returned from Mumbai, India. When he checked into it further, Fraley said at least three of the Democratic candidates that filed on deadline day were ineligible to run for office in Bloomington, possibly including Mikos.

“Being ineligible to run — I wanted to give them the option of withdrawing, because I don’t really want to see them go through the embarrassment of any sort of disqualification,” Fraley said.

Fraley raised questions about whether Mikos was registered to vote in Monroe County, though according to Mikos’ filing record, he is a registered voter in Perry Township in Bloomington.

In addition, Fraley was concerned Mikos had not been involved with the party locally.

Both Fraley and Mikos said their conversations with one another were positive and constructive and agreed it was best for the party if

Actor Drew Seeley was hesitant to accept the part of Bob Gaudio in the touring production of “Jersey Boys” because of the nine-month commitment.

Accustomed to movies that usually shoot for two to four months, Seeley knew accepting the part would mean being away from his wife, Amy, after getting married a year and a half ago.

Students jumped over computer charger cables and listened to the constant sound of typing during a 42-hour hackathon event this weekend.

IU committee searches for new chancellor IU formed a search committee to find candidates for IU’s executive vice president and IU-Purdue University Indianapolis’s chancellor, according to an IU press release.

The 15-member committee will be chaired

by Eugene Tempel, the founding dean and professor of philanthropic studies.

The new chancellor will take over the position Aug. 15, 2015, according to the release.

IUSA discusses elections, prepares for April

By Ashleigh Sherman aesherma@indiana.edu | @aesherma

Members of the IU Student Association elections commission reviewed the general election process and timeline for potential candidates during a meeting last Thursday.

The IUSA general election will take place April 8 and 9.

Students interested in running must run as a ticket, not as an individual. A ticket must contain a president, vice president for administration, vice president for congress, treasurer and at least one congressional seat, IUSA elections chair Aparna Srinath said.

Tickets interested in running must register by 5 p.m.

March 9 at the Student Life

and Learning office in the Indiana Memorial Union.

Three tickets — Amplify IUSA, INtouch for IUSA and UNIFY for IUSA — have already informally declared their intention to run.

IUSA comprises three branches: the executive branch, the legislative branch and the judicial branch.

The executive branch is comprised of a president, vice president for administration, vice president for congress, treasurer and chief of staff.

The IUSA Congress, members of which represent various academic or residential constituencies, forms the legislative branch.

The judicial branch comprises the IUSA Supreme

Court and the recently reformed IUSA elections commission.

Under the old system, the elections commission was not placed under any given branch. The IUSA president selected the head of the elections commission, who then selected the other four members.

These members then remained part of the elections commission for only one election cycle.

Under the new system, the elections commission is placed under the IUSA Supreme Court. Members of the IUSA executive branch and the IUSA Supreme Court jointly selected the nine members of the elections commission.

These members will then

remain part of the elections commission until they graduate.

When the current members of the elections commission graduate, they will self-select new members to replace them. The IUSA Congress, however, will have final approval.

“When it’s not election season, they can work on improving outreach about IUSA and raising awareness of IUSA and the process of the elections, that way more people are interested in IUSA and aware of IUSA and have time early on to form a ticket if they so choose,” Srinath said.

Candidates cannot personally contribute more than $1,000 to a campaign, while non-candidates cannot per-

sonally contribute more than $250, Katy Flanigan, member of the IUSA elections commission, said.

Total campaign expenditures cannot exceed $3,000 and tickets must periodically disclose all campaign expenditures to the elections commission.

On April 8 and 9, members of the elections commission and volunteers for the elections commission will run polling stations at three locations: near the Woodburn clock tower, near Dunn Meadow and on the corner of Tenth Street and Fee Lane, Flanigan said.

Any individual affiliated with a ticket cannot be within ten feet of any polling station.

Students can vote at a

polling station from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. either day or online from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. either day. Students can vote for a ticket or for an individual.

The elections commission hopes to send an email to every undergraduate student with a link to vote, Flanigan said.

Should that plan fall through due to logistics, the elections commission hopes to send an email to every undergraduate student with a link to a website, such as OnCourse or Canvas. Students could then access the link to vote from the website.

“Students are encouraged to vote on the caliber of their tickets and their platform, rather than anything else,” Srinath said.

App gives students emotional help

By Arriel Vinson arlvinso@indiana.edu

Not everyone has someone to talk to about situations they are going through.

7 Cups of Tea, an iPhone/ Android app and website, allows people to anonymously receive emotional support from trained listeners 24/7.

Freshman Megan Thompson said she stumbled upon this website while searching for a psychology chat. Thompson said she was interested because of the anonymity and began her trainings to become an anonymous listener.

“I just want to help people talk through their problems and what they’re struggling with, then help them come up with new ways to cope or more productive ways to react and cope with everything, which is what happens on 7 Cups of Tea,” Thomspon said.

Guests or members can log into 7 Cups of Tea and submit either a general request or a specified request

by picking a person they have already spoken to or someone they think would be the best listener for them, Thompson said.

7 Cups of Tea provides training for listeners so they can be knowledgeable about requests from members and guests.

Thompson said she has completed all of her training but one session.

She said some of the training covers topics such as self-harm, eating disorders and depression.

However, Thompson said she thinks the training is too easy and listeners can pass some of the training by guessing on the multiple choice questions.

“It’s not hard, per se, which is part of why I want to get involved with it to make the trainings a little bit more harder because it’s good for anyone who wants to go to be able to do it, but at the same time, anyone who wants to talk to somebody can and sometimes that causes issues,”

Thompson said.

As a listener, Thompson said she has already talked to about 70 people.

“There’s a lot of people that come to the website that talk about self-harm and most of the time for that, I just help them try and figure out why they hurt themselves and what kind of situations make them feel that way and try to come up with different reactions to the situation instead of hurting themselves,” Thompson said.

Thompson said she also talks to a lot of people who are struggling with family issues, when their parents are pushing them to try harder, although people are already doing their best.

Despite the large number of conversations, not all of the conversations are as long as others.

Thompson said of the 70 people she has talked to, only about 30 of them have stayed online for a long conversation.

“Sometimes people will get on the website and

when a listener starts to talk to them, they’ll decide to leave because they’re not ready to talk about it yet,” Thompson said.

Although this happens sometimes, Thompson said she thinks it is still important for college students to have this resource.

“College is a really big stressor,” she said. “Coming to college and staying, keeping up with studies and social life at the same time ... everybody struggles with it at least once.”

Thompson said 7 Cups of Tea offers a college stress section, but it still caters to others.

“Knowing that somebody is there willing to listen to them often makes a really big difference for people, myself included,” Thompson said.

“Everyone goes through those periods where they feel like they’re alone and nobody knows what they’re going through, and it’s really helpful and uplifting to know that there’s someone trying to understand.”

“O, elegant and tall one stop so I can tell you/ You are going abroad and your country is better for you/ I am afraid you will get established there/ And find someone else and forget me,” begins the song “Ya zarif attul,” an Arabic piece from Palestine.

This is just one of the many songs the IU Arabic Music Club learns. The club, which started this semester, allows students to explore the Arabic culture and have fun while doing it, said Noor Abo Mokh, an assistant instructor in the Arabic program at IU. “What we do mainly is sing songs in different Arabic dialects, and we try also to tell the things behind the songs, the meanings and why we have this song,” Abo Mokh said.

This is the first time at IU that a program like this is available for students enrolled in Arabic programs and those who are interested in learning about the culture.

Nader Morkus, an assistant professor in the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures, brought the idea here after having a similar club at another university.

There are around four or five instructors who are consistently involved in the club.

“For students, they get to enjoy Arabic,” Abo Mokh said. “There’s no homework.

They get to enjoy music.

They get exposed to culture.”

She said the students involved are exposed to cultural material not shown in classes, because the classes are focused on learning the language.

“We’re the pioneers to become better,” said Lamia Djeldjel, assistant instructor in the Arabic program. “It’s new, it’s fresh.”

NEXT MEETING 7-9 p.m. March 12 Ballantine 208 Open to anyone interested in learning more about the group.

At the beginning of each meeting, club members learn a new song brought from one of the instructors’ home counties, such as Palestine or Algeria. The course then shifts to learning a dance, such as dabke, a Palestinian step dance.

“You get a lot more exposure to the culture this way,” Arabic language student Rose Gholson said. “You get to have a feel of different cultures. Having fun with people in different cultures breaks down a lot of barriers you normally wouldn’t get to experience.”

Abo Mokh said she agreed with Gholson.

“They get exposed to the other side of the culture,” she said. “This is another framework to enjoy Arabic.”

They are also encouraging people who are not necessarily a part of the Arabic language program but are interested in Arabic to attend the meetings.

“We’re trying to get more people in the club, and we want to involve Felfel (an Arabic band),” she said. “We’re also buying the musical instruments.”

One example of these instruments is the “def,” a tambourine.

Djeldjel explained how it’s possible for her to tell where the different dances and songs are from based on the moves and the dialects. The moves in the dabke dance vary and even the drumming differs from country to country because the Arab world is so diverse.

“You just hear things in the news, and so I think that it has the potential to create relationships with people you normally wouldn’t,” Gholson said.

Geological Studies continues Tanzania trip

By Alyson Malinger afmaling@indiana.edu | @aly_mali

Living in the heart of the Serengeti, introductory geology, anthropology and archaeology students were given an experience of a lifetime.

They were working at the world’s most famous archaeological site.

The Geological Studies Department and the Stone Age Institute ran a six-week study abroad experience in Tanzania offering firsthand experience in the fundamentals of the specified fields of science.

Summer 2014 was the first time the program ran, bringing a total of 10 students to Africa. The course focuses on field observations, data recording and interpretation with the goal of understanding physical and biological processes of human evolution.

Jackson Njau, IU professor of geological sciences and one of the instructors in the field course, is originally from Tanzania and has devoted endless hours working on the particular site. Made famous

by Louis Leakey, the father of archaeology, the site is set up as a field laboratory for studying anthropology and geology.

“It (the site) presents the larger picture of understanding human evolution and how early humans responded to geological changes in

the environment,” Njau said.

The course is unique in relation to other archaeology field courses that only focus on excavation. This requires additional labor forces that tend to be very tedious and expensive. This particular course, however, focuses on the combination of geology and anthropology.

“A lot of this is something you can’t learn in the classroom,” said Ryan Yohler, a junior studying geology and a 2014 participant.

Participants have the opportunity to see the connection between geology and human evolution firsthand.

They are fully emerged into Tanzanian culture as well, with an intensive Swahili language lecture prior to starting the program. Participants stay in glorified traditional African huts and eat Tanzanian food.

IU chemist awarded Sloan Research Fellowship for 2015 From IDS reports

IU chemist M. Kevin Brown was awarded a 2015 Sloan Research Fellowship from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation on Feb. 23.

The Sloan fellowships are awarded to scientists in their early careers whose work is indicative of potential to be a next-generation scientific leader, according to an IU

press release.

Brown is one of 126 researchers from 57 different colleges and u n i v e r s i t i e s M. Kevin around the Brown United States and Canada to receive this fellowship. Each Sloan fellowship recipient is awarded $50,000 to further his or her

research.

“The beginning of one’s career is a crucial time in the life of a scientist,” Alfred P. Sloan Foundation President Paul L. Joskow said in a press release. “Building a lab, attracting funding in an increasingly competitive environment and securing tenure all depend on doing innovative, original high-quality work and having that work

recognized.”

Since the beginning of the Sloan Research Fellowship program, 43 different scientists have gone on to win the Nobel Prize in their respective fields and 65 have received the National Medal of Science, according to the press release.

Brown and his research team are focused on creating chemical reactions that allow

for the synthesis of biologically significant molecules, according to the press release.

The fellowships are awarded in eight different fields, including chemistry, computer science, economics, computational and evolutionary molecular biology, mathematics, neuroscience, ocean sciences and physics.

Candidates are nominated by fellow scientists and

selected by a panel of senior scholars.

Brown received his bachelor’s degree from Hamilton College and his doctorate from Boston College. He then continued his studies as a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University. He joined the IU Department of Chemistry’s faculty in 2011.

Guardian reveals Chicago ‘Black site’ The Guardian broke the story of an alleged CIA-like “black site” operating secretly within the Chicago Police Department in Homan Square this past Tuesday.

A black site is an “enhanced interrogation” facility that until recently had only been thought to exist outside of America, and thus outside American legal jurisdiction.

The U.S. harbored a handful of these sites during the Iraq invasion, in countries such as Afghanistan and Syria, and of course the infamous Guantanamo Bay in Cuba.

To say these facilities are inhumane would be redundant. To say the Homan Square facility is unconstitutional would be a gross understatement.

The controversy began when it came to light that longtime Chicago detective and U.S. Naval reservist Richard Zuley had been responsible for implementing egregious acts of torture in Guantanamo.

Investigations into Zuley highlight a 2013 dismissal

by Illinois State Attorney Anita Alvarez of wrongful convictions by the detective.

Those in power are learning the hard way that under the right conditions, you can force anyone to say anything in order to be let free.

Lathierial Boyd was convicted of murder in 1990, and was finally exonerated in 2013 after Alvarez’s ruling.

Boyd, referencing the frequency of racial slurs and hate speech directed at him during interrogation, has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against Zuley, accusing him of planting evidence and withholding critical information.

Chicago attorney Kathleen Zellner is spearheading an investigation that may produce multiple exonerations of Homan Square detainees. If successful, Zellner may instigate a full-on federal investigation into the happenings of this black site.

Michael Homan is a senior in journalism.

Some of the tactics used in Homan Square include keeping arrestees out of official booking databases, shackling for prolonged periods, beatings by police, denying attorneys access and holding people between 12 and 24 hours without any legal council.

Matthew Dodge, an attorney who represented Brian Church, a man who was apprehended in 2012 for terrorism charges he evaded at trial, got inside the facility.

According to Dodge, the latticework through which he spoke to Church was smaller than the typical backyard fence. Church had “just a floor and a cage.” All of the police he saw inside wore plainclothes, which mirrors the façade of the facility’s nondescript appearance, void indication that it’s a police operation.

Police have been operating this facility outside of police specific districts since the late 1990s.

Sam Bagenstos, former principal deputy assistant attorney general to the Obama administration, is voicing concern for “a possible pattern or practice of violations of the fourth and fifth amendments” that warranted an inquiry.

The use of secret, and largely ineffectual, interrogation techniques implemented post-9/11 is carving out an explicit narrative of American exceptionalism; when we use inhumane techniques, it’s for justice, but when others use them, it’s for terrorism. For how long may we be on both sides of the fence before those in power are held accountable, or something far more sinister takes place? michoman@umail.iu.edu

WHIZZLES AND BANGS

Paying for pumping Trans rapper Black Madam is on trial for third-degree murder.

She is accused of being responsible for the death of a 20-year-old British dancer, Claudia Aderotimi, in 2011.

Aderotimi’s death was a result of an illegal cosmetic procedure in which Black Madam injected her with silicone in order to give her a fuller figure. The silicone spread to Aderotimi’s heart and lungs, causing a pulmonary embolism to form and her subsequent death.

Deaths such as this and extreme complications with this procedure are not at all uncommon.

The procedure itself is risky because the silicone is likely to travel once it is injected into the body, or the body can react violently to the silicone injections. But there are also other long term effects to the injections.

Zaira Quispe, a trans woman, received silicone injections to help her project her gender identity.

The results were initially joyful for Quispe — she finally had the body of her dreams, and she felt at home in her more womanly figure.

But after a number of years, the silicone began to move throughout her body and calcify. Now her body is grossly misshapen as a result of the spreading of the hardened silicone, and she has to make endless visits to the hospital.

The procedures are not legal because they are dangerous and life-threatening.

Yet, there are still many individuals, referred to as pumpers, who secretly perform these procedures for people.

Professional cosmetic surgeries can cost as much as $70,000, whereas the silicone injections can be bought for the bargain price of $1,200.

Most of the individuals seeking out the services of a

Tracy Johnson is a senior in English.

pumper are trans and looking for a way to align their bodies with their identity. Some of these individuals have a low income and no health insurance. The idea of paying for the professional cosmetic surgeries is entirely implausible.

The pumpers are taking advantage of the desperation of these individuals who want so badly to change.

Medical-grade silicone is hard to obtain and expensive, so pumpers usually have to resort to using industrial silicone instead.

Pumpers inject this industrial-grade silicone — usually used in planes, cars and machines — into human beings just to save a few dollars. And they are doing so in unsterile environments and generally without anesthesia.

Transitioning from one gender to another is a complex process, and it takes more than just a few injections to complete that goal.

It takes years and countless treatments and procedures, not to mention the psychological stress it puts on the individual.

The transition process is much like a medical process, and it needs to stay that way for safety.

But if the medical community were more open and accessible, people would not have to seek out pumpers in desperation just so they can finally share their identity with the world.

If we work to stop this now, there won’t be as many wanton deaths or people suffering from the results of these silicone injections. johnstra@imail.iu.edu

Neutralizing the situation WE SAY: FCC makes progress for net neutrality If you’re one of the Internet junkies like the rest of us college kids, it’s time to listen up.

Supporters of net neutrality came closer to victory when the Federal Communications Commission voted 3-2 for a plan that will allow the agency to regulate the Internet as a public utility.

In the plan is a rule that forbids Internet service providers from offering paid prioritization, dissolving the possibility that ISPs will offer more bandwidth to higher-paying customers, dealing a hefty blow to the telecom companies.

In an era of rapid technology and communications advancement, the Internet is becoming more of a necessity every day, and it should be accessible to everyone.

Those for net neutrality argue they’d rather have the FCC regulating the Internet than telecom companies dictating what users can have access to.

These companies have been notorious for strong-arm methods that resemble more of mobster customs rather than corporate etiquette.

John Oliver, the host of “Last Week Tonight,” stirred the net neutrality pot when he critiqued telecom companies and told viewers to email the FCC. Oliver brought to light Comcast’s bully strategy of decreasing download speed for Netflix during contract negotiations. He listed the FCC comments page on his show and was quoted

saying to Internet commenters, “Seize your moment, my lovely trolls. Turn on caps lock, and fly, my pretties.”

As humorous as Oliver makes the situation, the Internet is no laughing matter.

Sure, GIFs of our favorite TV moments, cat videos and viral phenomenon like the black and blue/gold and white dress are hilarious. But in the age of the digital world, life without the Internet is almost nonexistent.

But what exactly is the FCC implementing?

By regulating the Internet, the FCC is requiring ISPs to offer the same product. This virtually removes competition from the economy and places the government in charge of regulating Internet prices.

But don’t fret — Internet users will still have the option of using companies like Verizon, Comcast, AT&T and others.

But you may not want to.

Local government in Chattanooga, Tenn., helped implement Internet services that work at 50 times the average speed in other places around the country for less than $70 a month.

Now termed “Gig City,” Chattanooga allowed government bureaucracy to fund and create an Internet network that works so fast it only takes 33 seconds to download a two-hour movie in HD. Taxpayers own this ultrahigh-speed Internet that uses fiber-

optic cables for maximum efficiency.

The FCC won’t be able to slow down file-sharing sites like Comcast did for customers using BitTorrent. Technically, file-sharing sites aren’t illegal, even though most of us use them to access pirated movies and music.

You’ll no longer be at the mercy of AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon from blocking tethering apps, which link your phone to other devices like your computer or tablet.

AT&T won’t be able to stop video chats like FaceTime as it’s done in the past. Verizon can’t block the PayPal digital fingerprint authorization because they want to promote their own payment app, Softcard.

Yes, we are giving up our Internet, one of the staples of digital freedom, for regulation.

We’re essentially giving the government the green light to peek in on our network activity. But none of us are blind to the works of the NSA, and we know they’ve been spying on us for a while now.

The Editorial Board believes net neutrality implemented by the FCC is the lesser of the two evils.

Our wallets and channel choices have already been victim to larger-than-life telecom companies.

Enough is enough. Let’s use the FCC as our net neutrality guardian and keep downloading stupid memes.

QUE SARAH SARAH

Microactivism with mantouching I walked home with a good friend from class Thursday afternoon.

As we reached the corner of 10th and Union streets, the light turned red and we paused, waiting to cross. At that moment, a car pulled up next to us, and the two men inside immediately rolled down their windows and began to shout at me.

I don’t remember what the song lyrics were they were singing, but they had everything to do with the way the woman in question looked and danced.

For the better part of a minute, I stood on the corner, absorbing the obscenity they threw at me until the light turned green. When it finally did, one of them shouted, “God broke the mold when he made you, girl!”

I was seething then, and I’m seething now. Sure, I was angry with them for such explicit harassment, but I was also angry with myself, and therein lies the problem.

Why on earth, I kept asking myself, didn’t I shout back at them? Why didn’t

I stand up for myself? As a student with an interest in gender-related issues and the violence that accompanies ignorance, I know exactly how to identify and handle unintended discrimination.

Yet in the face of this blatant aggression, I stood on the corner and let those boys yell offensive things at me.

Why? Because I was embarrassed, I didn’t want to make a scene. I didn’t want to be that uptight, humorless harpy who couldn’t take a little teasing from some likely good-natured and harmless drunk dudes on the street.

My friend was ignoring them, so I should too — it’s just easier that way, right?

There’s nothing easy about being the constant target of verbal harassment, ohso-tricky to combat in its intangibility. My unwillingness to defend my personhood against those who wished to objectify me for entertainment stems from the prevalence of “mantouching,” a term coined by Nico Lang in her column on The Daily Dot. “While it’s crucial that we

address the issue of street harassment, we need to recognize that it’s bigger than the street by discussing the ways in which performative masculinity creates a culture where behavior like that of Travolta and Biden is normalized,” Lang wrote.

“It might feel good to laugh off such demonstrative behavior as vestiges of a fading masculinity, but the problem with mantouching ... is that it’s so common that some of the women who experience it might not think it’s a big deal.”

Each instance of wrongdoing is a missed opportunity to educate and mend what’s been neglected.

When John Travolta grabbed Idina Menzel’s face at the Oscars and Joe Biden squeezed Stephanie Carter’s shoulders, these women just smiled. I’d like to think that those men are inherently good and meant no harm, that they simply didn’t comprehend the subtle, inherent violence of their actions. Neither did the men in the car.

And I didn’t correct them.

Sarah Kissel is a sophomore in English literature.

We have long acknowledged that those who are silent in the presence of injustice are therefore complicit in its consequences, and I would give anything to return to that moment to recast myself as an activist rather than a passive recipient and neutral perpetuator.

I do not in any way take ownership or responsibility for their actions, but I do take ownership of the moment between us before they sped away that rang with silence.

I chose to let Joe Biden, John Travolta and all the other men who believe they have a claim to my personhood use me as further validation of their misconceptions.

I stayed silent.

So catcallers be warned: it’s a mistake I won’t make twice. sbkissel@umail.iu.edu

State regulates cold medicine

By Daniel Metz dsmetz@indiana.edu | @DanielSMetz

Meth makers may have met their match.

New legislation that aims to reduce illegal methamphetamine production has been moving through the Indiana General Assembly this past week.

The bill, Senate Bill 536, was authored by Sens. R. Michael Young, R-Indianapolis, Carlin Yoder, R-Middlebury, and Randall Head, RLogansport, and introduces a number of new regulations that make it more difficult to purchase precursor ingredients for the drug, specifically ephedrine and pseudoephedrine.

“People convicted of drug felonies should bear the burden of obtaining a prescription for ephedrine,” Young said in a press release.

States that require convicted drug criminals to obtain prescriptions have seen a significant drop in meth labs, Young added.

“It is my hope that Indiana will experience similar results,” Young said. “This is a practical solution for decreasing the prevalence of meth in Indiana without creating additional challenges for honest citizens.”

SB 536 was passed in the Indiana Senate Tuesday with a vote of 46-3, and the bill has been referred to the Indiana House of Representatives.

Senator Mark Stoops, who represents Bloomington and Monroe County, voted yes.

Ephedrine and pseudoephedrine are nasal decongestants that are the main ingredients used in the production of meth. A prescription is not required in Indiana to purchase these substances.

The legislation would invoke the National Precursor Log Exchange, a national database that tracks the sale of substances like ephedrine and pseudoephedrine, in order to track individuals with drug-related felony convictions who are

trying to purchase precursor ingredients.

In this legislative session there have been a number of other bills that were drafted with the intention of making ephedrine and pseudoephedrine prescription drugs, but none of them will be voted on in the general assembly.

Critics of the bill claim it would make it more difficult for Hoosiers to get the overthe-counter medications they need.

“It is our goal to reduce the use of meth in Indiana without burdening lawabiding Hoosiers,” Yoder said in a press release.

Current laws are in place in Indiana that set limits on the amount of pseudoephedrine or ephedrine that can be purchased in a certain time period. The limits are set at no more than 3.6 grams in one day, 7.2 grams in a 30-day period and 61.2 grams in a 365-day period.

State laws also require retailers to submit detailed information to NPLEx about customers buying pseudoephedrine or ephedrine.

In 2006, the United States Congress enacted the Combat Methamphetamine Act, which specifically targeted methamphetamine precursors and increased regulation of the sale of products containing pseudoephedrine.

Indiana is known for having a high number of meth labs, and in 2013 Indiana had the highest number of meth lab seizures in the nation, with 1,797 having taken place throughout the state. In 2014 alone 43 meth labs were seized by law enforcement in Monroe County, the fourth highest in the state.

The broader goal of this legislation is to eventually reduce the prevalence of drug abuse in Indiana, particularly with methamphetamine.

Throughout the country, there were an estimated 440,000 methamphetamine users in 2012, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

Woman arrested on marijuana charges From IDS reports

Christie M. Arwine, 25, of Bloomington was arrested Friday night on preliminary charges of maintaining a common nuisance, possession of marijuana, dealing in marijuana and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, according to a Bloomington Police Department arrest report.

Officer Benjamin Burns was advised by another officer that a small truck was traveling on Indiana State Road 37 without its headlights on, Sgt. Jim Batcho said.

Officer Burns made a traffic stop on the vehicle, an old gray Dodge Dakota, around the intersection of West Tapp Road and South Adams Street.

When he approached the driver’s side door, Burns reportedly smelled an odor of marijuana emitting from the vehicle, and he observed the vehicle had false and fictitious plates, Batcho said.

Burns identified Arwine as the driver.

Arwine’s 14-year-old male cousin and her infant daughter were also in the vehicle.

Arwine said the vehicle was her uncle’s. Burns found marijuana in Arwine’s makeup bag, and Arwine said she supplied her cousin with marijuana, according to the report.

Arwine was handcuffed and placed under arrest, according to the report.

She said she couldn’t go to jail because she had a baby, Batcho said.

Arwine said she had nothing else illegal in her vehicle, but that she had contraband in her underwear.

Officer Burns transported Arwine to the Monroe Coun-

ty Jail and requested a female jail staffer to remove the contraband in a private room.

The female jail staffer discovered a plastic bag with a green, leafy substance believed to be marijuana in Arwine’s underwear.

It was a larger quantity than the amount in her makeup bag.

Officers made arrangements for Arwine’s mother to pick up the children, and the Department of Child Services was contacted per BPD policy, Batcho said.

Indiana student advisory group meeting with Ritz From IDS reports

The first meeting of the Indiana Department of Education’s Student Advisory Council was hosted Thursday at the Indiana Statehouse by State Superintendent of Public Instruction Glenda Ritz.

The council includes nine high school students who represent each of the nine congressional districts in Indiana and one other student who is selected to serve as an at-large representative.

Ritz serves as the eleventh member of the council.

“I am excited to announce the formation of Indiana’s first Student Advisory Council,” Ritz said in a press release. “Student Advisory Council members will provide valuable input to the Department as we work to improve the state of the classroom in Indiana. I am pleased to welcome this diverse and talented group

of student leaders to discuss issues that directly impact them in their classrooms.”

Members of the council consider matters concerning education at the local, state and national levels, make proposals and recommendations to the Indiana Department of Education and provide suggestions to improve the quality of education throughout Indiana.

High school students were nominated by their principals to apply to the SAC, and staff members from the Department of Education reviewed application essays submitted by each student.

“I’ve always been really passionate about public education,” District 6 student representative Cole Byram said, according to the press release. “I am hopeful that the student opinions that were shared at the meeting will help influence future legislation and the direction of Indiana’s education

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 he withdrew.

It had to be an immediate decision for Mikos, a decision he said he has second thoughts about. The withdrawal deadline was that Monday, and his discussion with Fraley began Saturday.

He had less than 48 hours to decide to bow out.

“Probably two weeks after I did it, I kind of regretted withdrawing to some degree,” Mikos said.

However, he said he is not fully out yet, as he is still in the process of considering a run for mayor as an independent candidate.

“My personal beliefs are maybe more center-democratic, and so independent is nothing out of the ballpark for me,” he said.

Though Mikos was by far the youngest candidate to file for the Bloomington mayoral race, he is well-versed in political campaigns, having worked on many across the United States for more than a decade.

Dressed in a dark gray suit with U.S. and Indiana flags pinned on his jacket’s left lapel — looking the part of politician — Mikos said he was attracted to politics because each day it is something new. Coming out of the Kelley School of Business, a corporate job did not appeal to Mikos’ wanderlust.

“While I was examining the thought of that (business), I had kind of fallen into politics while at my time at IU and while I was working for (Rep. Pete) Visclosky,” Mikos said. “And realized the

one thing I really like about politics is it’s always something different.”

With politics, Mikos has had the opportunity to travel and live in several states and work on national campaigns for New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker and Massachusetts Sen. Edward Markey.

Though his career has taken him all over the country, Mikos’ life in politics began in his home district in northwest Indiana.

He began his political career in the offices of Visclosky, in 2001. In the fall of 2006 while he was at IU, Visclosky’s campaign asked Mikos to come back to the first district and help re-elect the 11-time congressman.

Mikos took the semester off and helped the congressman win his 12th election.

Since his adolescence,

much of Mikos’ time has been entrenched in the minutiae of political campaigns. His quick withdrawal has caused an odd juxtaposition: the months-long campaigns he ran against his weekend-long bid for mayor.

At Wednesday night’s Bloomington City Council meeting, Mikos sat in the center back row at city hall — taking Fraley’s advice to be more involved in local politics. To his left was Linnemeier and in front of him was Neher, both former opponents of his.

After the meeting, Mikos stood up and introduced himself to both of them and wished them luck on their campaigns for mayor.

Maybe he’ll see one of them again in the general election.

Lemonis also moved Nolden down in the order from second to eighth, where he spent much of last season. The move made Nolden more comfortable at the plate, Lemonis said.

“I was just trying to grind out some at bats and it just

so happened that there were a couple guys on base when I had some of my best at bats,” Nolden said.

Junior starting pitcher Christian Morris also won his first game Saturday after getting no decisions in his first two starts.

Morris pitched six innings, giving up only one unearned run and allowing five hits. Morris also struck

out three and walked none.

Lemonis said it was Morris’ best outing of the season.

“He just came out from the first pitch and attacked their hitters, and they’ve got a very good offensive lineup,” Lemonis said.

Morris said he was more locked in Saturday than his previous two outings, but he didn’t do anything different on the mound. Every-

thing just clicked, like IU’s offense.

This is why Morris is disappointed.

“We wanted to go out there and see how we were going to pick up after a great win (Saturday) night,” Morris said. “It was disappointing, but we have to deal with it and move on and keep the intensity that we have right now.”

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “I was really excited, but I also wondered if it was the best move,” Seeley said. “I’m so glad that I decided to do this because Amy’s been able to come out and visit me on the road quite a bit. We’re in a new city every week, so I’m getting to see the country and it’s an absolute blast.”

At 8 p.m. Tuesday, Seeley will perform alongside fellow cast members in the Broadway Tour “Jersey Boys” for the first time at IU Auditorium.

“We have worked hard over the past several years to bring Jersey Boys to IU Auditorium for its debut, and we were thrilled when it made its way into our 2014-2015 season,” Maria K. Talbert, associate director of IU Auditorium, said in an email.

“This is the first time in several years that we have presented an event of such acclaim that it was able to run for an entire week’s worth of performances.”

“Jersey Boys” is a documentary-style musical that follows the journey of four men who come together to form the 1960s rock ‘n’ roll group, the Four Seasons.

Seeley’s character, Bob Gaudio, is the last of the four to join the group and writes their hit songs, including “Sherry,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry” and “Walk Like a Man.” “It’s a fun role to play because I’m a songwriter in real life,” Seeley said. “I’ve been doing that since I was a kid.”

Seeley said touring across the country is much different than being in movies.

I love the creative process of coming up with stuff like that. ... To me, it’s all about the big picture. Someday, I hope to look on my own application with pride.”

Seeley also said performing the same show live gives him a different kind of thrill.

“TV is maybe more spontaneous because you haven’t practiced it a million times, but part of the fun of it in theater is finding something new every night on stage with material you’ve done so many times,” Seeley said.

Seeley moved to Los Angeles to pursue his acting career. He offered advice to aspiring musical theater majors, saying they should move to New York or Los Angeles in order to start their careers.

“Just being there is probably the biggest thing, and then not getting discouraged if it doesn’t happen right away and having the persistence to stay out there until you get your break,” Seeley said. “Inevitably it will happen. It’s just a matter of if you have the patience to wait for it to happen.”

Talbert said this show will bring out the fun side in its audience during each of the performances.

“It definitely won’t be a still and quiet night in the theater,” Talbert said. “The music is so beloved, and it is sure to elicit patrons to move and dance in their seats.”

In addition to the high energy throughout the show, Seeley said this is not a typical 1950s musical.

“It’s the kind of show that wives can drag their husbands to or girls drag their boyfriends to and guys will like it as well,” Seeley said.

“It’s like an episode of ‘The Sopranos’ with music because you’ve got to deal with gang issues, broken marriages, gambling debt and some coarse language in the show.”

“You probably learn more in these than an undergraduate course,” Ramakumar said.

Though this activity brings computer usage to a much faster pace and is more hands-on than a classroom experience, members of the PIT Crew said they hope to see this event influence change at IU. “We hope that this hackathon is a genesis for future interdisciplinary engagement across schools,” Overton said. “This could easily be applied to arts and humanities, journalism, etc.

The primary goal is to create champions of engagement for Indiana University to be known for enacting the positive change we want to see.”

Four professors of computer science, gaming and design will judge based on the games’ web-based functionality, clear gameplay documentation and entertaining and engaging presentation of core content.

The winners will be revealed at a ceremony at 1 p.m. March 10.

Disappointing end 71-60 Turnovers allow Scarlet Knights to run past Hoosiers

IU looking forward to starting Big Ten Tournament

By Brody Miller

brodmill@indiana.edu | @Brody_Miller_

gpalmier@indiana.edu | @grace_palmieri

Rutgers didn’t make 3-pointers or get to the free-throw line very often.

Nor did the No. 20 Scarlet Knights block a ton of shots or dominate the boards. against the Hoosiers.

What Rutgers did do in the 71-60 win Sunday against IU (1415, 4-14) was take advantage of IU’s mistakes, and Rutgers did it quickly.

IU turned the ball over 19 times on 15 steals, and the Scarlet Knights would launch a fast break attack to go with each one.

After the game, IU Assistant Coach Todd Starkey said IU executed the defensive game plan but allowed Rutgers to score in transition.

“They are like track athletes,” Starkey said. “They get out and run on you.”

With sophomore center Jenn Anderson out and freshman forward Amanda Cahill in early foul trouble, the Hoosiers were forced to play with more perimeter players than it was used to doing.

The goal was to try to use that to their advantage.

“We wanted to spread the floor out a little but more, but unfortunately we turned it over too many times,” IU Coach Teri Moren said.

Coming into Sunday, Rutgers’ opponents averaged 19.3 turnovers per game and the Scarlet Knights forced 38 turnovers against Penn State on Jan. 10. Their 10.4 steals per game ranked third in the Big Ten. this season. When these turnovers occurred Sunday, Rutgers didn’t waste the opportunities.

It dictated the tempo and pushed the ball up court for some easy fast break buckets.

IU allowed 19 points off turnovers and 18 fast break points.

There was rarely an IU defender back in transition and Rutgers tended to have multiple players on the run.

The Scarlet Knights made

IU had one last chance to get back in the win column before the regular season ended.

It would potentially end a four-game skid, knock off a top25 team in No. 20 Rutgers and, more importantly, it would at least keep the Hoosiers eligible for a postseason tournament like the Women’s National Invitation Tournament.

None of those happened. In their first trip to Piscataway, N.J., the Hoosiers fell to the Scarlet Knights 71-60.

For just the second time this season, the Hoosiers went with a slightly altered starting five players.

Just before the game, it was announced that sophomore forward Jenn Anderson was out with a day-to-day injury, so freshman guard Jess Walter was inserted into the starting lineup in her place.

The starting five included three freshmen and four guards rather than the usual two post players.

Freshman forward Amanda Cahill, who had 11 points, got into foul trouble early in the game, only playing three first-half minutes.

Against a bigger Rutgers team, IU Coach Teri Moren said size was a big factor.

“We had to go really small,” she said.

“You would think having more perimeter players would help to spread the floor out a little more, but unfortunately we just turned it over too many times.”

Walter, Lyndsay Leikem and Karlee McBride, three players who have come off the bench all season, led the Hoosiers in scoring at halftime with six points each.

At that point, IU trailed by just four.

But the Scarlet Knights opened the second half on a 17-5 run, turning IU turnovers — which amounted to 19 by the final COURTESY OF TIAN LI | THE DAILY TARGUM

Men finish 7th, women 11th in Big Ten

By Taylor Lehman trlehman@indiana.edu | @trlehman_IU

When the Big Ten Indoor Championships concluded Saturday at the SPIRE Institute in Geneva, Ohio, the Hoosiers found themselves where they expected to be all season: the middle of the pack. The men finished seventh and the women finished 11th.

The men slightly improved their ninth-place standing from 2014, jumping from 40.5 points to 49, while the women dropped two spots from their ninthplace on a five-point drop, from 39 to 34.

“We’re a very middleof-the-pack team this year,” IU Coach Ron Helmer said.

“I’m a strong believer in only seeing what you’re looking for, so right now my overall feeling is that we have a lot of work to do before the outdoor Big Tens.”

Even though there was only slight improvement on the scoreboard, IU found more improvement on the leaderboards as it placed top-five athletes in 10 events this weekend, up from just seven events last season.

The top-five finishers were highlighted by senior Rorey Hunter running third in the men’s mile, junior Terry Batemon claiming third in the men’s pole vault, true-freshman Jill Whitman earning fifth in the women’s 3K and sophomore Nakel McClinton throwing fifth in the women’s weight throw.

Sophomore middle distance runner Tre’tez Kinnaird claimed the only Big Ten title on the team, winning the men’s 800-meter run in 1:48.89. Last season, He finished fourth in the men’s 600-meter run with a school-record effort.

“This is something I’ve wanted for a long time,” Kinnaird said. “Last year really hung with me, so I’ve been working all season for this title.”

Kinnaird led the entire 800 meters of the race by jumping to an early lead and forcing the rest of the field to catch him, a strategy that suits his aggressive running style.

After maintaining the lead for the entire race, Kinnaird reached the finish with Illinois’ Joe McAsey, who dove at the finish but could not overtake Kinnaird.

“They had his name up on the scoreboard first, and I was like, ‘Man, I hope that’s not right,’” Kinnaird said.

“Then it changed and had me as the winner.”

Kinnaird had a rough first day Friday, only placing seventh in the men’s 800-meter preliminary run and nearly missing the eight-man cut with his worst 800 since the 2014 Gladstein Invitational.

This performance came after his participation in the disappointing Distance Medley Relay, a team the Hoosiers expected to be in the NCAA Indoor Championships but fell short and placed just 33rd in the nation.

“Tre’tez had an ugly start to the weekend but did what all great competitors do,”

All Big-Ten Honorees MEN First Team All-Big Ten Tre’tez Kinnaird, sophomore Second Team All-Big Ten Eric Claxton, redshirt freshman Rorey Hunter, senior Derrick Morgan, senior WOMEN Second Team All-Big Ten Sophie Gutermuth, junior

Helmer said. “He managed a lot of negative things and ran an outstanding race.

I couldn’t be more proud of him.”

The sophomore Big Ten champion currently holds onto the final qualifying spot in the NCAA 800-meter Championship but will not know for sure if he is in the field until all of this weekend’s results are submitted.

One Hoosier who solidified her spot in the national pole vault field was junior Sophie Gutermuth, who broke yet another school record by vaulting an overall personal record of 4.34 meters, but only took home second place as Illinois’ Stephanie Richartz edged her out by just five centimeters.

“This one felt really good,” Gutermuth said. “Not just because it was my best vault overall, indoors and outdoors, but because it put me seventh in the nation and kept me in nationals.

Now I don’t have to worry about being on the bubble.”

Gutermuth broke her indoor school record by eight centimeters and her overall personal record by four centimeters to finish second in back-to-back years in the Big Ten Championships.

Junior Sydney Clute also vaulted a personal record of 4.14 meters to finish third and put a second Hoosier on the podium with Gutermuth.

“Sophie did what Sophie does, and that’s break records,” Helmer said. “Sydney beat everyone she was prepared to defeat and set a personal record, so it was a good weekend for both of the girls’ vaulters.”

The men’s heptathletes, juniors Stephen Keller and Dylan Anderson, also placed in the top five and matched their projected positions, third and fourth.

Keller reclaimed his victory in the friendly competition between him and his teammate with a personal record of 5,706 and a second-best total in IU history.

Like Kinnaird, Keller and Anderson also await other schools’ submissions before knowing if they place top-16 and qualify for nationals. They both sit at 10th and 15th in the nation, respectively.

“I fully expected to be one of the guys on the team qualifying for nationals,” Keller said. “I won’t put limits on myself, and Coach (Jake) Wiseman and the other multi-athletes would say SEE TRACK, PAGE 11

Hoosiers bounce back with two wins

By Danny White danswhit@indiana.edu

The IU men’s tennis team traveled to the Pacific Northwest this weekend.

The Hoosiers split matches Wednesday in Louisville, Ky., beating Toledo but falling to No. 38 Louisville.

In Seattle, they hoped to capture two wins against nonconference opponents.

“It was a long flight out, after traveling a lot during the week,” IU Coach Jeremy Wurtzman said. “It was challenging, but I think we handled it great.”

No. 36 IU defeated Saint Mary’s 4-0 Saturday morning at the Nordstrom Tennis Center in Seattle.

IU cruised to win the doubles point, which had been a point of emphasis in practice, and then

continued its momentum to defeat the Gaels.

“We did a great job in the doubles,” Wurtzman said. “We really implemented what we had been working on.”

IU (8-3) had some standout performers against Saint Mary’s in singles competition. IU sophomore Daniel Bednarczyk defeated Samuel Bloore 6-2, 6-2. IU freshman Raheel Manji defeated Thomas Hunt 6-2, 6-1.

IU senior Sven Lalic defeated James Markiewicz 6-3, 6-1. Saint Mary’s (1-8) continues to struggle this year, with its only win coming against Sonoma State.

The Hoosiers’ celebration was short-lived as they turned their attention to another match Saturday against Washington.

IU third at Big Ten Championships

By Frank Bonner frbonner@indiana.edu @Frank_Bonner2

The IU men’s team broke nine school records in Iowa City, Iowa, on its way to placing third in the Big Ten Championships during the weekend.

Records were broken in the 100 freestyle, 200 freestyle, 500 freestyle, 200 freestyle relay, 400 freestyle relay, 800 freestyle relay, 1 meter, 3 meter and platform dive.

IU Coach Ray Looze said he didn’t anticipate his team breaking so many records.

“That was surprising,” Looze said. “I was really surprised. I didn’t see that coming, in a good way.”

Freshman James Conner holds the school record for both the 100 freestyle and the 400 freestyle relay along with freshmen

winning tough doubles points, especially on the road.”

IU players Sam Monette, Bednarczyk and Lalic responded by winning their respective matches in three sets to defeat the Huskies.

“It was an unbelievable feeling,” Bednarczyk said.

“It was such a tough match and my opponent played so well. It was a tough crowd to play against and our team just stuck together.”

The Hoosiers proved they could beat a ranked opponent not only on the road but at their opponents’ courts.

“Anytime you can learn and still win I think that’s a great thing,” Wurtzman said. “It’s just a little easier to take.”

IU returns home to play Northwestern at 2 p.m. Friday at the IU Tennis Center.

Blake Pieroni, freshman Ali Khalafalla and sophomore Anze Tavcar.

Conner ended the meet with his third record-setting performance in the platform dive.

His first place finish in the platform dive helped Conner win Big Ten Diver of the Big Ten Championships.

He also made the firstteam All-Big Ten along with sophomore Michael Hixon.

The Hoosiers had a total of seven athletes make the second-team All-Big Ten as well.

Pieroni placed second in the 200 freestyle relay with teammates Tavcar, Khalafalla, and senior Yianni Thermos who all combined to set a new school record.

He also recorded the second-fastest time in school history in the 200 freestyle.

out there and took care of business,” Wurtzman said.

“We knew later that day we were playing Washington and wanted to get off the court as quickly as possible with respect to Saint Mary’s being a good team.”

IU then defeated No. 48 Washington 4-3 Saturday in a comeback victory.

“That was a great college tennis match,” Wurtzman said. “We definitely did a lot of great things, the doubles was awesome.”

The Hoosiers got off to a strong start against Washington by winning the doubles point.

However, Washington would respond by taking a 3-1 lead.

“In singles we need to learn in the future.” Wurtzman said. “We have to get out there and get great starts in the future after

Pieroni’s performance over the weekend earned him the co-Big Ten Freshman of the Year.

The Hoosiers took both men’s and women’s Freshman of the Year honors this year, with Kennedy Goss earning women’s honors last weekend.

IU scored a total of 551 points.

“We did a fantastic job,” Looze said. “We graduated all of our top scorers last year, and we were able to reload and come within 13 points of where we were last year. I couldn’t imagine that. I’m just excited to see our development moving forward.”

Coming into the competition, IU knew Michigan was the favorite to win the championship. However, it felt it could compete well with Ohio State for second place.

But the Buckeyes were

able to pull away from the Hoosiers as they scored 623 points to finish right behind Michigan who gathered 760 points.

“Ohio State swam great,” Looze said. “They had a big senior class, and they did what seniors do, they performed well.”

The next focus for the Hoosiers is the NCAA Championships, which begin March 26.

The NCAA tournament is a three-day tournament as opposed to the Big Ten Tournament, which lasted three and a half days.

Looze said that might not seem like a big difference but that extra half-day does matter.

“For the NCAA’s, there are not predictions on my end,” Looze said. “But I think we can end up with 11 athletes on the swimming side. Two divers should make it and possibly three.”

Classic sangria comes from Spain and mixes red wine, fresh fruit, sugar and brandy.

This recipe is typically made in the summer because it is served cold or room temperature, but sangria can be made with winter-seasonal fruits and spices.

Additionally, this recipe switches out brandy for spiced

rum for a more accessible alternative. The key to this recipe is using sweet, acidic fruits to balance out the bitterness of dry wine.

To suit different tastes, alter the types of fruits used. For a sweeter mix, add more apple and include pear in the mix.

Unlike the half recipe used in this week’s food video that can be found on the Indiana Daily Student’s YouTube account, this is the whole recipe.

One of the biggest changes to the festival was its reduction from eight days to three.

While the event is shorter, Coleman said the lineup of artists this year is much more ambitious to make up for the loss. He said he started with the lofty goal of getting Madlib to perform and, after that fell into place, worked backwards from there.

The lineup represents an eclectic mix of national and local artists playing a wide range of genres.

Bloomington listeners have a diverse taste in music, so the lineup needed to reflect that, Coleman said.

“Unless you’re doing a bluegrass festival out in Brown County, you’ve got to throw as wide a net as possible,” he said.

With the shows staggered at different times and different venues around downtown Bloomington, he said anyone who wants to should be able to go from a rock show to a rap show without missing much more than an opening act.

Coleman said he wants to see the festival grow in future years, and having the event for only a few days this year is just a starting place.

He said he hopes the festival will become an event for the town, like a Lotus World Music and Arts Festival for “the rest of us.”

“We could have a sustained musical happening that appeals more to the college kid than it does to their professors,” he said.

Sangria is easy to make, but requires at least one hour to sit.

With the South by Southwest music and film festival coming up in less than two weeks, the pilgrimage to the festival in Austin, Texas, will begin soon for musicians across the country.

Dan Coleman, owner of Spirit of ‘68 Promotions, said he noticed many of the musicians try to find somewhere to play on the road between their hometowns and the festival.

His inbox floods with emails from bands looking for gigs on the way to South

by Southwest every year, he said.

In 2010, Coleman came up with the idea to combine all of these show requests in Bloomington, he said, and the Pit Stop Music Festival was born.

“The idea of Pit Stop was always that it is a runup to South by Southwest,” Coleman said.

After the 2010 festival didn’t work out in quite the way he imagined in regards to aspects such as the venues used, Coleman said he decided not to put the event together for next year and didn’t think he would ever put it together again.

Stephen Westrich, owner of the Bishop Bar, changed Coleman’s mind.

“In the fall of this past year Steve got in his head that we should do the festival again and, after months of trying to convince him otherwise, we decided to go ahead,” Coleman said.

This year’s festival was heavily reworked. Coleman said they tried to pick apart what did or didn’t work at 2010’s festival and apply that to this one.

Filmmaker speaks about history of independent film

By Annie Mose aemose@indiana.edu

Despite the abundance of nudity and graphic content in her films, MM Serra does not believe her work is pornographic.

On Feb. 27, IU Cinema welcomed the experimental filmmaker as part of its Jorgensen Guest Filmmaker Series.

“Anything you ever want to know about the American avant-garde is stored in her

brain,” said Russell Sheaffer, a doctoral candidate in the Department of Communication and Culture.

Serra not only makes films, but works to preserve them. Serra is the executive director of the Film-Makers’ Cooperative. With the FilmMakers’ Cooperative, Serra acts as a curator and historian, making sure independent media is not forgotten.

Korean cooking demonstration promotes diversity

By Jordan Guskey jguskey@indiana.edu

With cat pictures on her apron and friends in the crowd, the informal atmosphere of Sarah Zeng’s cooking demonstration created an open and welcoming environment for IU students wanting to learn more about Korean cuisine.

Zeng led a demo on how to prepare Gaji Namul Friday evening at the Asian Culture Center in an event co-hosted by the Asian Culture Center and Diversity in Action, a Hutton Honors College student organization.

Gaji Namul, or steamed eggplant, is a Korean side dish. Zeng’s recipe for her version is included in a Diversity in Action cookbook that has recipes submitted from many different cultures

by IU students.

Oddly enough, using a recipe is unusual for Zeng.

“I’ll usually just eyeball it,” she said.

Cleo Hernandez, a member of Diversity in Action, said Zeng was chosen because of her family-inspired

Communication and Culture, introduced Serra.

Griffis said the works of Serra are “bloody, rough and alive.”

“I think MM’s work in particular is really incredible in pushing back on ideas of genre, ideas of sexuality, everything,” Sheaffer said.

The lecture began with a showing of Serra’s most recent short film, “Enduring Ornament.” Serra made the film, which includes manipulated footage from

1940s peep shows, with fellow Film-Makers’ Co-op member Josh Lewis.

“The fact that we can show films in their original format in this beautiful screen and appreciate the content and visual aspects is great,” said Megan Brown, a doctoral student in film and media studies.

Serra’s films are graphic, but she defines her genre of film with the term “art core.”

“Art core was coined to describe explicit films that

Zeng said she never set out to make it into a cookbook.

“I just really craved eggplant last semester, so I made a lot of eggplant,” she said. “The recipe was just some of my knowledge that I wanted to impart on others.”

Freshman Maxwell Sandberg said he enjoyed the informality of the event because it gave him the opportunity to ask Zeng questions about the recipe while she was cooking and inquire about any other ways the eggplant could be prepared.

While cooking, Zeng demonstrated to the audience how to know if the eggplant was done.

“Poke it with a chopstick or fork and it should be soft,” she said.

The group of New York artists was what Serra calls a “counter-cultural” movement against Hollywood’s Motion Picture Production Code.

It was the turnovers that were problematic for IU. “We allowed them to have some run outs based on our turnovers,” Moren said. “And that got the crowd into it.”

Rutgers led 30-26 at the half but quickly took control in the second half.

Some last-minute Hoosier points brought the difference within 11, but Rutgers led by 19 with four minutes remaining. IU was able to stay close early thanks to its five 3-pointers on 13 attempts.

But it shot 2-of-11 in the second, and it took 13 minutes to make one.

Because IU sits in the bottom four of the conference, it will play Penn State for a spot in the tournament.

For IU, a new season begins Monday, Moren said.

“That’s what you talk to your players about,” she said. “Anything can happen in a tournament setting.”

In IU’s first meeting with Penn State this season, Jan. 22, the Nittany Lions earned their first Big Ten win after opening the conference season 0-7.

It was a game the Hoosiers began to fall behind toward the end of the first half, made a run late in the

Freshman guard Tyra Buss led the Hoosiers in scoring with 14 points, 13 of which came in the second half.

With the loss, IU falls below .500 on the season (14-15).

The Hoosiers will have to win two Big Ten Tournament games in order to be in consideration for the WNIT, although a bid would be unlikely for a team with a 4-14 conference record.
