From IDS reports

A rape was reported to the IU Police Department on March 22. The victim is an IU student. Though the rape occurred more than six months ago, the incident has just been reported, IUPD Capt. Andy Stephenson said. Stephenson said it is not yet known exactly when or where the rape took place. “We do have a suspect, but we have not made contact with him yet,” Stephenson said. “The suspect is someone the victim knows.” Alcohol and drugs were involved in the incident, he said. “This is typical to many reports we get,” Stephenson said. “The incident wasn’t recent, and now that it’s been reported to us, the investigation will be an ongoing thing.” Sarah Gardner

uring Tuesday’s dress rehearsal, five women sat in straight-backed chairs in a row. They all wore black, but some chose loose slacks, some a pencil skirt and some a leather jacket with pumps. There were no restrictions on jewelry, so some opted for a statement necklace or earrings. The all-black dress code allows the actors to play different characters in Cardinal Stage Company’s “Love, Loss, and What I Wore,” which opens Friday. “I don’t have one name, I play multiple characters,” cast member

Bloomington women act about life, clothing Jessika Hane said. “A lot of times, we are women all together talking about one thing, like organizing our closets or bra shopping. We’re voices for women.” Hane, human resources director at Oliver Winery and the vice president of Cardinal, is one of the 16 Bloomington women in the cast that rotates each night. Each woman is a prominent member of the community, from IU’s First Lady Laurie Burns McRobbie to two-time Grammy winner Sylvia McNair. The play, adapted from a novel by Ilene Beckerman, is a stage reading. The actors sit or stand with little other movement and read from music stands in front of them, as if reading

their own stories. The stories, which are real but are not the actors’ own, are presented in the form of short sketches, monologues or snippets of lines spoken by all the women onstage. “Every person in the audience will be able to relate to it, especially from a woman’s perspective,” Hane said. “There’s a whole piece about shopping for your first bra, and we all have fond or frustrating memories about that. There’s a ton of stuff that you can relate to in this show, and clothing is that universal thread that ties it all together.” In the show, clothes are shown to be able to empower women, cast SEE WORE, PAGE 6

Flosstradamus will be the official performer for the Little 500 Concert at 8:30 p.m. April 15 at Memorial Stadium. Tickets will go on sale 10 a.m. Friday through IU Athletics, according to an Indiana Memorial Union Board press release. Flosstradamus is an electronic dance music duo from Chicago that has spent the last eight years creating high energy DJ blends and remixes. After negotiations with a few other acts fell through, Union Board director of music Katherine Jordan said Flosstradamus was chosen because of their affordability, their availability for a performance during the same weekend as Coachella and their ability to put on a good show. “They put on a crazy show,” said Jordan, who has seen the duo live three times. “Every time I’ve seen them, the crowd is jam-packed. They will bring with them the spirit of Little 5.” When initially considering acts for this year’s concert, Jordan said her Union Board committee conducted

IU is considering evacuating students studying abroad in Turkey due to safety concerns. Three students are located in the Turkish capital of Ankara, Kathleen Sideli, associate vice president for overseas study, said in an email. The University’s consideration to remove its students comes nearly three weeks after a car bomb detonated in Ankara, killing at least 34 people, the Associated Press reported. Last October, suicide bombers orchestrated an attack in the city that killed nearly 100 people.

INDIANAPOLIS — A Baptist minister pleaded guilty Tuesday to distributing dozens of tons of synthetic marijuana while leading a multi-million-dollar drug ring. Robert Jaynes Jr. is charged with distributing and possessing “spice,” or synthetic marijuana, and introducing the drug, mislabeled, into interstate commerce. The former pastor of Irvington Bible Baptist Church pastor faced up to 25 years in prison and $1.25 million in fines. The guidelines of the plea deal, though, state he’ll only serve a maximum of 12 and a half years in prison. The deal also includes an agreement for Jaynes to forfeit up to $41,758 and more than 800 pounds of silver-colored coins, pieces and bars. According to the 2014 federal indictment, filed in Missouri, Jaynes and at least 12 other people were involved in the drug operation, which packaged and moved the drugs. The ring allegedly involved married Hendricks County sheriff ’s
