IU favored to win against Rutgers

By Caleb Coffman calcoffm@iu.edu | @CalCoff

It’s no longer hot in Bloomington, the leaves are just starting to change colors and it’s finally homecoming weekend at IU. The Hoosiers are set to take on Rutgers this weekend and find themselves in unfamiliar territory. The Hoosiers are favored to win by 28 points over the Scarlet Knights — the largest margin in over 20 years — and are looking to earn their first Big Ten win of the season.

Rutgers who is 1-4 on the season and 0-3 in conference play hasn’t won a Big Ten game since Nov. 4, 2017, and have been outscored a combined 130-7 against conference opponents so far this season.

Despite being heavily favored, IU head coach Tom Allen refuses to take anything for granted as he prepares his team for Saturday’s matchup.

“Been in this league long enough to know those things are irrelevant,” Allen said. “I know that we’re playing a Big Ten football team all Saturday. We’ll have to be at our very best. That’s the absolute truth.”

Two weeks ago in East Lansing, Michigan, as IU took on Michigan State, the Hoosiers showed what their best could possibly look like as they took the then-No. 25 Spartans down to the

wire before falling 40-31.

This week, IU faces a very different challenge.

While the Spartan’s theme has been in place since 2007 when head coach Mark Dantonio took over at Michigan St., Rutgers comes in with a fresh coaching

staff led by interim head coach Nunzio Campanile.

Campanile was given control after only three games when Chris Ash was fired earlier this season and has already had to face his fair-share of problems.

Before stepping onto the field

to call his first game, Campanile was thrown a curveball as his two best players junior running back Raheem Blackshear and sophomore quarterback Artur Sitkowski asked to not play so they could

IU honors Nobel Prize winner IU professor Elinor “Lin” Ostrom was a woman of many firsts: the first woman to win the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, the first person honored at IU-Bloomington with an Bicentennial Historical Marker for her achievements and the first woman to have her own statue at IU. The dedication, which took place at 1:30 p.m. Monday at Woodburn Hall, marked the 10th anniversary of Ostrom being selected to receive the Nobel Prize. Ostrom was not there to see the honor: She passed away on June 12, 2012, in Bloomington.

Ostrom was one of the leading forces behind the development of the academic studies of the commons, IU President Michael McRobbie said. He said her work examined the power of civil society, the development of social laws and the voluntary collective actions of citizens to solve problems.

“Lin came to IU, and the university was incredibly fortunate to have had the benefit of her outstanding work as a teacher, researcher, adviser, and an administrator for nearly half a century.” McRobbie said.

Ostrom was defined by her curiosity, and she cared about answering questions like most people care about breathing, Provost Lauren Robel said. She said Ostrom’s discipline shaped her questions, and she never let boundaries define her.

“There was never anything conventional about Lin and her thinking,” Robel said. “That’s how you get to a Nobel Prize.”

Ostrom influenced many junior faculty members, including Lauren MacLean, the Arthur F. Bentley Chair and professor in the Department of Political Science, who is affiliated with the Ostrom Workshop. MacLean said

The 10th annual Habitat for Humanity build on IU’s campus began Oct. 1 and concludes Friday, starting with nothing and ending with a home for a family. This project is a partnership between Habitat for Humanity, the Kelley School of Business and the Kelley Institute for Social Impact.

The partnership is being sponsored by Whirlpool, a home appliance company whose former CEO, Jeff Fettig, was a Kelley School graduate.

“It’s a great way for students to give back to the community in a real tangible way,” said George Vlahakis, associate director of communications and media relations at the Kelley School. “Someone who is going to be living in a new home this winter as a result of all these students and faculty.”

IU expressed its support for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipients in an amicus brief, which urged the Supreme Court stand in support of DACA recipients.

President Donald Trump decided to terminate DACA, a program created during the Obama Administration designed to give work permits to undocumented immigrants that arrived in the United States as children, in September 2017.

The program has given more than 700,000 immigrants the ability to work legally in the U.S. and provided temporary protection from deportation.

The program also provides recipients with a driver’s license and a Social Security Number. With a Social Security Number, students can fill out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid to help with the cost of higher education.

The Supreme Court is set to hear an oral argument Nov. 12 in challenge to the decision to end DACA. “DACA recipients contribute to our campuses, communities and our country’s economy every day,” IU President Michael A. McRobbie said in a press release. “IU remains strongly committed to supporting DACA recipients, and we believe it is vital that our nation continue to maintain its support – and remove any question of uncertainty – for those protected by the program.”

IU joined 165 other colleges and universities in signing the amicus brief in support of the DACA program.

“IU will not waver in its longstanding commitment to the diverse and inclusive environment that is essential to an excellent education and that enables all of its students – regardless of their background or country of origin – to succeed in a place where they feel valued, respected and at home,” McRobbie said the release.

Advocates share opinions on Project Lifesaver

By Avery Williams avefwill@iu.edu | @avery_faye

A small bracelet containing a trackable transmitter has caused recent debate in Bloomington’s Alzheimer’s disease and neurodiverse communities.

Project Lifesaver is a program that tracks users with cognitive disorders when they get lost. Nejla Routsong, a visiting lecturer at the IU Kelley School of Business and faculty advisor of the IU Neurodiversity Coalition, said she isn’t sure the device is legal.

Routsong said one concern is that anyone wearing this device may be compromising their Fourth Amendment rights.

“The first and most important thing you have a right to privacy of is your own body,” said Routsong, who used to work in data analytics and digital marketing. “Once you use a product like this, you usually waive all rights to your data.”

She said wearers may not be in a position to give consent, but they should be aware of what happens to their tracking data. She said data of the user’s location could potentially be sold by Project Lifesaver for profit.

Abe Shapiro, the president of the IU Neurodiversity Coalition who has mild Asperger’s syndrome and ADHD, said he has never wandered, but he empathizes with the caregivers of people who do. He said he knows Project Lifesaver is used to give peace of mind, but he doesn’t think that should outweigh the wearer’s comfort.

“The sensitivity aspect is probably the cornerstone in

tackling this situation for me, especially because people on the spectrum may experience sensory overload,” Shapiro said.

According to University of California San Francisco research on sensory processing disorders, more than 90% of children with autism experience hyposensitivity or hypersensitivity.

Kyrianna Hoffses, Project Lifesaver’s director of media and public relations, said it is very common for wearers to have a sensitivity issue, and Project Lifesaver will work with the caregiver to desensitize the wearer. Ways to do

that include having the client keep the device on one additional minute each day until they have gained comfortability.

Amanda Mosier is an Alzheimer’s educator and community health coordinator at IU Health Hospital’s Alzheimer’s Resource Service.

She said Monroe County coordinator Paul Ford is trained to recognize if a Project Lifesaver client’s wrist or ankle will swell, and the placement of the device depends on that assessment.

Mosier said Project Lifesaver is a great program that helps to provide a safe space

in Bloomington.

“Sometimes if you don’t get to witness what it does, it doesn’t really register to you how important it is,” Mosier said.

Mosier talks to clients of the Alzheimer’s Resource Service about Project Lifesaver early in their diagnosis, she said. It’s because the free program may seem less frightening to the person wearing the device if they know what it does and how it helps people.

A “fog” in the mind may lead to Alzheimer’s patients wondering where they are or what they are doing, Mosier

New IUSG members learn ropes

By Madison Smalstig msmalsti@iu.edu | @madi_smals

IU Student Government congressional elections took place from 10 a.m. Oct. 1 to 10 p.m. Oct 2. Around 2,700 students voted, and 32 people were elected as congressional representatives, according to the election commission.

All members attended a mandatory retreat Saturday, where new representatives learned and returning members reviewed information about what the IUSG congressional branch is and how it operates.

Returning members Cassiday Moriarity and Dominic Thompson led the retreat and presented on topics such as relationships between the branches of government, leadership in Congress and parliamentary procedure.

To review parliamentary procedure, the group ran through a mock meeting in order to demonstrate certain mannerisms and rules for meetings.

Specifically, they discussed topics such as the importance of an agenda and how to properly ask to go to the bathroom during a meeting.

Moriarity said knowing parliamentary procedure is important because it allows meetings to be more effective and to run faster.

“Parliamentary procedure is a fairly simple set of rules, however there are a lot of them,” Moriarity said.

“It slows down the meet-

“It’s kind of like being a detective trying to figure out, ‘Why is this person wandering away?’” Mosier said.

Mosier said enrollment in Project Lifesaver allows clients with Alzheimer’s to stay independent at home longer.

Shapiro said he wishes there were more options for people who wander. He said it makes more sense for a transmitter to be in someone’s favorite shirt or hat.

Shapiro said he doesn’t like the idea of an ankle bracelet because it criminalizes the wearer.

ing process if people aren’t knowledgeable enough.”

To help guide new and old members, at the first full IUSG congress meeting tonight there will be a printed list of common mistakes of parliamentary procedure.

One of these mistakes is a representative making a motion without waiting for the IUSG Speaker of the House to call on them.

In addition to IUSG information, those who attended the retreat also received Step Up! IU training, which taught the IUSG congressional members how to intervene in situations such as sexual assault and mental health issues.

This training is now required for all IUSG members.

Attendees also listened to a presentation on how to work with administrators given by Jim Johnson, IUSG Congress staff advisor and associate director for Student Involvement and Leadership.

Thompson said even though he helped put together Saturday’s retreat, he learned a lot from Johnson’s presentation, including the different positions and the hierarchy in administration.

“There are so many different levels, and you need to make sure that you are going to the right person to

get the right thing done,” Thompson said.

Although 32 people were elected into positions, there are over 20 open positions in congress that were not filled.

Moriarity said she is working to see if the application to join IUSG congress can be reopened.

If it is reopened and people apply, they will not go through another election.

Instead, they will go through a verification process which will begin with applications being reviewed

by IUSG congressional executives and end with a final confirmation hearing with all of congress.

She clutched the bright blue Glock 17T in her right hand as she entered the dark range followed by the officer.

During the fifth week of the Citizens Police Academy on Tuesday night, the students were invited to the Public Safety Training Center on South Walnut Street to undergo firearms training.

After a presentation by Zach Weisheit, the officer who runs the firearms department, IU sophomore Stephanie Pujols was the first to volunteer for the simulation.

Senior Officer Brett Rorem loaded the training pistol and told her Sgt. Cody Forston was inside the range with a knife. Weisheit said the Glock 17T is identical to the gun used by officers in form and function.

Pujols stood inside the range. Rorem stood off to the side.

“Scene is hot,” Rorem said to signify the start of the simulation.

Pujols felt fine before entering the range. But in that moment, said she was overcome by a sense of anxiety and confusion. She didn’t know where Forston was.

A light flickered in the large dimly lit range. Pujols looked around through her blue glasses, but couldn’t find him.

Volunteers to assemble literacy kits

By Lyndsay Valadez lvaladez@iu.edu | @lynds_val

Volunteers from throughout the community will be working in shifts Friday to assemble about 600 literacy kits for children in Bloomington families in honor of the Day of Action, a national United Way program.

The literacy kits will include books, a bookmark handmade by volunteers and other school supplies.

Literacy and the number

of books in a home have a strong correlation to success throughout life, and lower income households tend to have fewer books in the home, said Efrat Feferman, executive director of United Way of Monroe County.

“This is one way we are trying to level out the playing field for those kids,” Feferman said.

The literacy kits will be distributed to some families who don’t have time to build their at-home libraries.

Emily Pike, New Hope

for Families executive director, will be speaking with the volunteers about the importance of literacy kits.

New Hope for Families emphasizes helping the homeless and educating and caring for youth. It is one of the six partnering agencies helping distribute the kits.

Pike said she looks at this event as a way to help students in lower-income families start at the same point as students from higher-income families.

“Being able to help kids not start off at a disadvantage is really important to us,” Pike said.

Pike said helping the community starts with helping the most vulnerable members and making sure their needs are met.

This is how the community can really give back to the people who need it, she said.

“In order for any community to be strong, we need its members to be strong,” Pike said.

“Making somebody on the spectrum wear an ankle bracelet is the equivalent of condemning them for something that is a daily struggle,” Shapiro said.

Routsong said she worries a stigma of the device could harm someone going out in public or applying for a job. She said she believes it too closely resembles a criminal monitoring device.

“Because it’s evocative of the criminal justice system, it will likely have adverse effects on wearers of color worse than what it would have for white wearers,” Routsong said.

Then he emerged from behind one of the black barricades in the center in the range. Forston walked toward Pujols slowly, holding a knife up in the air.

Pujols’ first instinct was to shoot. She raised the pistol, pointed it at Forston and pulled the trigger. She missed. The 8 millimeter soap pellet fired released a sweet, campfire smell into the air.

“Shouldn’t you ask him to put it down?” Rorem said.

“Could you please put the knife down?” Pujols said.

Forston didn’t put the knife down. He continued to approach Pujols.

Pujols applied what she was taught by Weisheit – the situation required force proportional to the danger to the officer.

Five loud pops rang through the barren range as she shot the remaining soap pellets left in the pistol. They all missed.

“Scene is cold,” Rorem said.

Forston stopped.

Rorem escorted Pujols out of the range and took the pistol back. She returned to the classroom.

“How’d it go?” Weisheit said.

“That was intense,” Pujols said.

Next week, students will learn about prosecution and watch a critical incident response team demonstration.

Council candidate will not be denounced

By Lydia Gerike lgerike@iu.edu | @lydiagerike

The Monroe County Democratic Party announced in a Thursday release it will not denounce a township Democrat who is running independently for Bloomington City Council.

Marty Spechler’s campaign first faced debate among the county Democrats’ Central Committee during an August meeting.

Spechler, who serves on the Bloomington Township board as an elected Democrat, chose to run for Bloomington City Council District 3 as an independent after his preferred candidate dropped out too late for him to register for the Democratic primary.

Members of the party argued whether or not they should censure, or announce formal disapproval of, Spechler’s candidacy to make it clear Ron Smith is the Democratic nominee.

The statement says that under the state Democratic rules, a candidate “who renounces the party or switches to another party may be publicly denounced.”

For now, Spechler will not be censured.

“At this time, Mr. Spechler has not labeled himself as a Democrat on his campaign literature for Bloomington City Council, despite previously and currently serving as a Democrat in an elected office,” the release said. “Should Mr. Spechler refer to himself as a Democrat in writing on his campaign literature, on his campaign social media page,

Bloomington Township board member Marty Spechler makes his statement during a Monroe Country Democratic Party information meeting Aug. 26 at the headquarters for the Monroe County Democratic Party.

or elsewhere, MCDP shall reconsider censure.”

Spechler said he sees the entire debate as totally unnecessary and believes the party is only doing this out of fear he will beat Smith.He said he thinks the voters should be the ones to decide which candidate is best instead of the Democrats trying to make a statement by denouncing him.

“If they had just let it go,

things would have been fine,” Spechler said.

However, county party chair Jennifer Crossley said the issue is not about Spechler beating Smith but about making sure Spechler isn’t saying he’s a Democrat in his campaign literature.

“We don’t have a fear of him beating Ron at all, and we just wish him the best at getting the word out for him,” Crossley said.

Despite the Democrats’ threat to reevaluate the decision on censure, Spechler said still he intends to call himself a moderate Democrat. He said he won’t try to pretend he is on the ballot under the party’s endorsement.

“Let them go ahead and censure me if that’s what they want,” Spechler said. “It just brings disrepute on the party.”

Randy Paul, who resigned

from his position as precinct vice chair for Bloomington 21 when the issue over Spechler first arose, said he’s glad the Democrats are not censuring Spechler.

However, Paul said he feels the threat to possibly censure Spechler in the future is “foolish and heavy-handed” because Spechler still identifies with the Democratic party and its ideals.

“No one can tell Marty

what’s in his heart,” Paul said.

Paul said the issue creates barriers for those who want to become involved with the Democrats, whether it be at the local or national level, and shows how the party tries to limit who can run and what people can say or do.

“It’s almost like they’re required to get a litmus test or loyalty oath to become part of the Democratic party,” Paul said.

SCOTUS debates whether discrimination by 'sex' includes gay and transgender workers Tribune News Service

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court hears arguments today on whether the Civil Rights Act of 1964 forbids employers from firing people because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

The question for the justices boils down to the meaning of the word "sex."

The historic law says companies as well as public agencies may not discriminate against employees because of "sex."

This had been understood for decades as protecting women from being denied jobs or promotions that went to men instead.

But in recent years, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which enforces the law, decided it also protects gays, lesbians and transgender employees.

It did soby concluding that discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity is illegal discrimination because of sex. U.S. appeals courts in New York and Chicago similarly found the law applies to gay and lesbian workers, while the Cincinnati appeals court said it applies to transgender people.

Under President Donald Trump, the Justice Department will argue that the law should not cover gay, lesbian and transgender workers.

It is the first significant gay rights case before the high court since Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh replaced the retired Justice Anthony M. Kennedy. Though a moderate conservative, Kennedy wrote all of the court's opinions upholding the rights of gays and lesbians, including the 2015 decision upholding the right to marry for same-sex

couples.

At present, federal antidiscrimination laws do not protect gays, lesbians or transgender workers.

The House under Democratic control passed the Equality Act in May to amend the Civil Rights Act and to prohibit discrimination on the basis of "sexual orientation, gender identity, pregnancy

(or) childbirth." But the measure is stalled in the Republican-controlled Senate.

California and 21 other states forbid discrimination based on sexual orientation, and several other states have such protections for public employees. But there are few such protections in the South and much of the Midwest and Great Plains.

The justices will hear arguments in three cases: two involving gay men and one involving a transgender woman.

Gerald Bostock said he was fired from his position as a child welfare services coordinator in Clayton County, Georgia, not long after he joined a gay softball league. He appealed in Bostock v. Clayton County

after his discrimination suit was tossed out.

In 2010, Donald Zarda was fired from his job as a sky-diving instructor in New York after jokingly assuring a woman customer she had nothing to fear from being strapped to him in the air because he was gay. He later died in an accident, but his sister has pursued his suit in Altitude Express v. Zarda.

Aimee Stephens said she was fired from her job at a family-run funeral home in Detroit after she returned from a vacation as a woman.

Alaska Natives, fishermen sue EPA for reversing decision Tribune News Service

SEATTLE — Trump administration officials broke the law when they reversed course and gave a green light to a proposed copper and gold mine near Alaska's Bristol Bay, mining opponents said in a lawsuit filed Tuesday.

Alaska Native, commercial fishing and economic development organizations said the Environmental Protection Agency's decision July 30 to step aside and let the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers determine whether to permit the Pebble Mine was "arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion" and illegal.

The lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Anchorage is the latest challenge to the project that the EPA's Seattle branch criticized in written comments July 1 before

abruptly reversing course, withdrawing the agency's option to block the proposed open-pit copper and gold mine.

Last year, then-EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt decided to preserve the agency's veto option over the Army Corps permitting process, saying that mining in Bristol Bay's headwaters could risk harming the world's largest sockeye salmon fishery.

Representatives of the groups that filed the suit said at a news conference Tuesday in Anchorage that the Trump administration's reversal ignored years of EPA research and public comments.

"The politicians jumped in and changed the rules at the last minute," said commercial fisherman Robin Samuelsen Jr., board chair-

man of the Bristol Bay Economic Development Corp., one of the plaintiffs.

An EPA spokeswoman declined to comment. The lawsuit names as defendants the EPA, its general counsel, Matthew Leopold, and agency Seattle Administrator Chris Hladick. Mike Heatwole, a spokesman for the mining company, Pebble Ltd. Partnership, said that decisions on a "proposed determination," as the EPA's veto option is called, are "clearly within the discretion" of the agency administrator.

The suit argues that the agency changed course without good reason or explanation required by law, and asks that a judge nullify the move.

CBP Chief: Harassing journalists 'absolutely unacceptable' Tribune News Service

WASHINGTON — Mark Morgan, the acting commissioner of Customs and Border Protection, told reporters at the White House on Tuesday that it is "absolutely

unacceptable" for his officers to stop a journalist "because they're a journalist." He was responding to a question, based in part, on an Oct. 3 incident between Defense One editor Ben Watson and a CBP officer at Dulles Internation-

al Airport. Defense One's report on the exchange alleged that "A U.S. passport screening official held a Defense One journalist's passport until he received an affirmative answer to this repeated question: 'You write propa-

ganda, right?'" and characterized the officer's actions as harassment.

The question in Tuesday's briefing came from journalist Andrew Feinberg, who said this was one of a number of such incidents involving CBP

officers over the last year.

Morgan encouraged journalists, or individuals who feel "inappropriately harassed," to report it to CBP's Office of Professional Responsibility or the Department of Homeland Security's

said Ostrom was a very productive person who would send emails at 3 a.m. to get the job done.

“I just had such a positive impression of her,” England said. “When you first meet her, she has this way of saying ‘Hello.’”

Joanne Passet, who is the committee of IU Historical Marker Program, said she was honored to look into Ostrom’s application for nomination.

Passet said Ostrom made contributions not only to campus but around the world.

“I don’t think many people would be in her category in terms of her brilliance,” Passet said. “You look at her and you see a joyful, downto-Earth person.”

In addition to marking her steps at Woodburn Hall, McRobbie said Ostrom will have a statue honoring her made by Michael McAuley who is an IU alumnus. He created the Hoagy Carmichael statue located in front of IU Cinema. McAuley said he decided to have Ostrom sitting on the bench with her face to the side, smiling.

“I wanted to be the one to give it to her, for her and for Indiana University,” McAuley said.

Michael D. McGinnis, a colleague of Ostrom and the former director of the workshop, said she helped researchers look through different kinds of perspectives and created a lively international community to make an accomplished team.

“Mostly graduate students and junior faculty were transfixed by Lin,” Mcginnis said. “Inspired by the genuine interest this Nobel Prize winner in exhibiting in their own work. Lin had that effect on a lot of us.”

“It’s a way of building self confidence in people, it transfers beyond other ways than being a homeowner,” Goodlett said. “That’s the great thing about building your own house, after that there’s not a lot you can’t do.”

A common theme for both Allen and IU defensive coordinator Kane Wommack during the team’s weekly media availability was stopping the run. Both praised sophomore running back Isaih Pacheco who has been thrust into the starting role since Blackshear announced that he would be redshirting this season.

“Their running back, I think, is a very good foot-

ball player,” Wommack said. “The way that he moves, the way that he attacks the line of scrimmage and plays downhill. They have a nice run game” Pacheco has been a consistent contributor in a struggling Scarlet Knights offense rushing for 340 yards, four touchdowns and averaging 4.5 yards per carry.

Rutgers has struggled this season passing the ball

averaging only 201.3 passing yards per game — 102 ranked in the country — so if IU plug the holes at the line of scrimmage, the defense may start to live up to both Allen and Wommack’s lofty expectations.

IU will look to not squander what appears to be a winnable game with a chance to win its first homecoming game since beating Arkansas State University back in 2010.

WOMEN’S SOCCER

Three things to know before IU plays Penn State, Ohio State

By Will Trubshaw wtrubsha@iu.edu | @Willtrubs

IU women’s soccer had a strong weekend in Big Ten play, picking up its first two conference wins.

The Hoosiers' victories over an Illinois team that was getting some national attention in the Coaches Poll not two weeks ago, and a Minnesota team that won the Big Ten tournament championship last season, catapulted them into the top eight of the Big Ten. This season, Big Ten teams have beaten up on each other, as evidenced by only one of the 14 teams remaining undefeated. Penn State and Ohio State were both top four finishers in conference last season but currently sit at records of .500 or worse.

With IU having matches against Penn State and Ohio State this weekend, it will be an opportunity for the Hoosiers to climb higher in the Big Ten. Here are three things to know ahead of IU’s weekend matches.

Freshman Fantastic Freshman midfielder Avery Lockwood has had her name mentioned a lot in press clippings and by her coach as someone who the program can lean on now and in the future.

Along with having a strong campaign by the numbers, Lockwood has now gotten some national recognition too.

Lockwood was named to Top Drawer Soccer’s team of the week Tuesday for her game-winning goal last Thursday against Illinois, as well as her overall play in

the two weekend matches for IU. Lockwood’s stardom continues to rise, and with it, IU’s conference success.

International Love (of the long pass) The Hoosiers' win on Sunday hinged on a goal in the 36th minute by senior midfielder Chandra Davidson. Davidson was set up

on a pass by sophomore defender Oliwia Wos. Wos of Olesno, Poland, and Davidson hailing from Hamilton, Ontario, showed off some strong chemistry on the pass that spanned almost three-fourths of the pitch.

It’s a play that head coach Erwin van Bennekom and his team had talked about for a long time. But to

actually see it come to fruition could be a game changer for the Hoosier offense.

If the Hoosiers' international stars continue to produce like Lockwood has, the Hoosiers will continue to get enough offense for their stingy defense.

How the mighty fall IU’s two opponents this week, Penn State and Ohio

State, find themselves on relatively unstable ground compared to last season.

The Nittany Lions, last year's regular season Big Ten champs, are only 3-3 in conference to start this year after losing only twice in conference last season. And the Buckeyes, after a third place finish last year, are 2-3 in conference through the first three weekends.

FOOTBALL

If the postseason started today, IU would find itself seventh in the conference just behind Penn State, good enough for a tournament berth, while Ohio State would be on the outside looking in.

Riding a three-match shutout streak, IU is in good shape to surprise some teams that ruled the Big Ten last season.

Three takeaways from media Monday IU men’s golf turns in best finish of season

By William Coleman wicolema@iu.edu | @WColeman08

Coming off its first of two bye weeks, IU football will attempt to earn its first homecoming game win since 2010 on Saturday at noon against Rutgers.

At Monday’s weekly media session, IU head coach Tom Allen said the team “had a really productive week together” while resting and watching film. The Hoosiers, 3-2 overall and 0-2 in Big Ten play, look to build upon their most recent performance although it was a loss.

Here are three takeaways.

Defense was a focal point during bye week.

The coaching staff ’s number one concern out of the team’s breakdown in the 40-31 loss at Michigan State was far and away the defense.

Having it come right before a bye week gave the defense more time for that to sink in and to respond positively. IU defensive coordinator Kane Wommack mentioned the Monday practice

following the MSU game was the most “locked-in” he had seen the defensive players since his arrival earlier this year.

“Really thought just the urgency to get better with our defensive guys was there and the energy that they brought in practice, the way they communicated,” Wommack said. “There’s things that we have to continue to work and clean up, and that’s what bye weeks are really for.”

The Hoosier defense allowed 442 total yards to the Spartans and failed to force a turnover.

IU let up a combined 33 points in the second and fourth quarters.

IU doesn’t want to get complacent with Rutgers.

The Hoosiers are favored to beat the Scarlet Knights by more than three touchdowns this weekend, but Allen couldn’t care less.

“Been in this league long enough to know those things are irrelevant,” Allen said.

“They've got a unique situation they're in right now,

but we have no control over that. And all we can control is how we prepare.”

Rutgers recently fired its head coach and offensive coordinator and redshirted a few key players, so IU’s coaching staff has limited film of exactly what it’s going to see. Although the Scarlet Knight game plan shouldn’t be all that different, the Hoosiers want to stay on their toes.

“We’re never gonna feel comfortable or feel like we’ve arrived,” offensive coordinator Kalen DeBoer said. “We’re just gonna keep moving forward one day at a time.”

Allen, DeBoer and Wommack all emphasized the focus of the next team up and not looking any further into the schedule.

During IU’s bye week, however, its next two opponents – Rutgers and Maryland – played each other, giving the coaching staff a chance to double-down on scouting.

Progression is a key leading up to second bye week.

Allen not only watched Maryland and Rutgers play this past weekend, he also watched some other Big Ten teams IU is still yet to meet.

The way the Hoosiers’ schedule breaks down, they play two home and two road games before their next bye week.

Then leading up to IU’s clash with Purdue in West Lafayette to conclude the regular season, it has its marquee matchups at Penn State and versus Michigan.

Allen talked to the players about the mental and physical progressions that come with their remaining schedule, but in the end he just wants to see improvements out of individuals and the team as a whole every day.

“We just gotta keep getting better every time we take the field and every time we strap it up on Saturdays,” Allen said. “That’s the goal, but we have to have a great plan for that and our guys have to buy into that. So I think that's what we set out to do, and I feel good about the direction we're going.”

Graduate captain Jack Sparrow noticed early in his practice round at the Marquette Intercollegiate tournament that the course was well suited to his game.

The rest of the IU men’s golf team must have noticed it too. The team had its best tournament of the season, finishing fifth out of 12 teams.

“The layout of the course just fit my eye for some reason, and I realized the par fives are pretty gettable, so I looked to take advantage of those,” Sparrow said.

Sparrow did attack those par fives, doing exactly what he said he would.

He shot five under on them, which was tied for fourth best in the competition. It helped propel him to a one under par score, tied for 12th place.

IU head coach Mike Mayer mentioned that Sunday’s first round followed a common theme for the Hoosiers: the inability to finish.

Through 12 holes, IU sat in first place with a team score of one over par. The last six holes added 11 strokes to the Hoosiers’ score, dropping them as far as eighth before finishing in a tie for sixth.

“We were up near the lead most of the first round, but we didn’t play the last four or five holes very well,” Mayer said. “They got there and didn’t stay there, then the second round we had a really nice round and put ourselves in contention to win the tournament.”

Part of the blame for the slip goes to the weather.

The wind picked up in the afternoon, causing the last six holes of the day to be difficult.

“After the round, we talked, like, ‘I don’t think

we need to overthink this.’” Sparrow said. “We all played well, and we proved that in the second round, coming back with a really good score.”

The second round was the Hoosiers’ best round of the season so far. After shooting 12 strokes over par to open up play in the tournament, the Hoosiers bounced back with a seven under par second round performance, launching themselves into third place.

No other team in the tournament had as good of a second round.

The second round was also the team's first of the year with a team score under par. It was an 11-stroke improvement over its previous best rounds, a twin pair of four over par rounds at the Windon Memorial at the beginning of the season.

In the last round, Mayer said the team played just OK. It still turned in a round under par, shooting one under but couldn’t keep pace with the field, dropping the team from third to fifth. Only three teams shot a worse round, and Purdue, who won the tournament, shot 12 strokes under par.

“We had a solid final round, but there were some low final numbers out there, and we didn’t really capitalize the way we’re capable of,” Sparrow said.

“As a team, nobody really had their best stuff this week, but it was definitely scratching the surface on what we think we can do.”

Mayer said the tournament gave the players a little belief in themselves.

“We’ve been working hard, and we’re not surprised," Mayer said.

"We’re getting better and better, and I think we took a nice step in the right direction in this tournament.”

IAN’S INSIGHT

Why Americans should care about Kashmir Ian Nowlin is a sophomore in international studies

When Pakistani Prime Minister Iman Khan appeared before the United Nations General Assembly on Friday he said, “Does he think the people of Kashmir are going to quietly accept the status quo?”

Of course, the “he” Khan is referring to is Narendra Modi, the prime minister of India, whose administration forced the Muslim majority state of Kashmir into a communication blackout and used other measures restricting the basic freedoms of Kashmiris.

India and Pakistan have been engaged in a bitter conflict over the semi-autonomous region of Kashmir since the ending of British rule in 1947. However, since losing its independence to India in 1947, Kashmir was granted a special status in the Indian constitution that allowed Kashmiris to govern themselves. That is, until two months ago.

On Aug. 5, 2019, this provision was revoked, and India put Kashmir under military rule, disconnecting phone lines, suspending internet access, closing educational institutions and jailing local politicians.

Khan highlighted the biggest issue in this conflict – the escalation of a territorial dispute between two nuclear powers. Although it is unlikely that Kashmir will

become a flashpoint for a nuclear standoff, it is not impossible. Nevertheless, it is just as alarming that in 2019, India is creating an apartheid state without any serious repercussions from the international community.

Not only do Americans need to pay more attention to the Modi administration’s abhorrent policies in the Kashmir region but also to the many injustices occurring against Muslims around the world Modi’s recent draconian policies are intended to consolidate power over Kashmir by diluting the Muslim population. Stripping Kashmir of its autonomy means that it will be regarded like any other Indian state, leading wealthy Hindus to buy much of the land in Kashmir.

According to the Indian Ministry of State and Home Affairs, terrorist-initiated incidents have decreased 28% this year, yet the Indian government approved increasing its military presence by 38,000 troops.

There is no security imperative for the Indian government to send more soldiers except to implement Modi’s oppressive curfews.

The more troops Modi sends to Kashmir, the more those troops will be met with resistance from Kashmiris.

For example, after Khan’s remarks at the U.N., hundreds of Kashmiris took to the streets calling for the complete independence it once had. This speech alone

ILLUSTRATION BY EZRA ENGELS

caused enough unrest that six militants and one Indian soldier were killed, according to Indian authorities.

Despite the lack of action from the international community, many around the world are protesting the Indian government’s actions.

Last month, over two dozen IU students marched from Woodburn Clock Tower to the Monroe County Courthouse to raise awareness

about the crisis.

Bilal Mozzafar, the public relations chair for the IU Muslim Student Association, said, “This is happening in the only majority Muslim state in India, and if this were happening in the Western Hemisphere, there would be much more of an outcry.”

However, it seems that Kashmiris are bent on resisting the status quo of being a battleground for Pakistan

and India, with or without international support.

The human rights issues occurring in Kashmir are not isolated to that region. The apartheid state didn’t end in South Africa with Nelson Mandela. It is alive and well in Kashmir and Palestine and is also being carried out against Uyghurs in western China. Military expansionism didn’t end in World War II. Just ask Ukrainians in

Crimea, Hong Kong residents or now Kashmiris.

Americans can easily become enthralled in our domestic issues, but we cannot overlook serious recurring injustices abroad. After all, the United States has the greatest global capability and influence to do something about them. ianowlin@iu.edu

EMMA GETZ IT

Rich celebrities do not have solidarity with common people Emma Getz is a senior in English and history

On Sunday, Ellen DeGeneres hung out with former President George W. Bush at a Dallas Cowboys game.

After facing criticism, she defended her choice to spend time with him, saying on her show, “I’m friends with a lot of people who don’t share the same beliefs that I have.”

This goes to show that rich celebrities, even those that proclaim themselves to be liberal, such as DeGeneres does in the video, do not have a sense of solidarity with those they claim to support politically.

On the surface level, being friends with someone with whom you don’t share the same beliefs doesn’t seem like a big deal. DeGeneres uses the example that she doesn’t approve of wearing fur but is friends with a lot of people who do.

This is a disingenuous comparison, though. The problem comes in when the person you are friends with is someone responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths of Iraqi civilians (not to mention those in Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria, Libya and even more countries) due to an illegal, imperialist war, that destabilized the entire region. This is not

simply a difference of opinion. This is choosing to be friends with a mass murderer whose sole interest was the corporate war machine.

To quote DeGeneres from the same clip from her show, “Why is a gay Hollywood liberal sitting next to a conservative Republican

president?” Even without bringing up the Iraq War, Bush’s policies were pretty common for a Republican in the early 2000s.

This means, of course, much of his campaign was notoriously against gay rights, opposing same-sex marriage in 2004. He even

called for an amendment of the U.S. Constitution that would ban them completely.

DeGeneres is married to a woman, so Bush has spent his career denying her human rights. This is not a simple disagreement between friends, unless you want to

be friends with someone who does not agree with your very identity.

Of course, this is where rich celebrity politics come into play. She is privileged enough to not have to worry about matters like this. The timing is relevant, too. Currently, the Supreme Court

is torn over a decision regarding federal protection for LGBTQ employees after two men were fired from their jobs for being gay and a woman was fired for being transgender.

DeGeneres faced many hardships and backlash throughout her career for being gay, so this is a relevant topic, but at this point, she is rich and famous enough to not be fired from her job. This is a privilege a large majority of the LGBTQ community does not have.

People become blinded by their privilege when they are rich. DeGeneres is past the point of politics truly affecting her life. Of course, she is not the only celebrity — just the most recent example.

If you look at the responses to her Twitter and Instagram posts, there are countless other celebrities praising and agreeing with her. These people do not care about the imperial destruction and exploitation of the global south or even the human rights of their fellow U.S. citizens.

There is no sense of solidarity. Money causes them to act solely in their own self-interest, even if it involves hanging out at a football game with a war criminal. emmagetz@iu.edu

Past Straight No Chaser performs

By Raegan Walsh ramwalsh@iu.edu

Ryan Ahlwardt’s first performance with Straight No Chaser was the same week as his high school senior prom.

April 28, 1999 was the exact date, Ahlwardt recalls without hesitation. He was standing behind the seniors during their last performance on campus as they took their last bow to the song, “It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday” by Boyz II Men. Little did Ahlwardt know at the time that before he even started college, his love of music he considered a hobby was going to transform into a dream-like career.

“To have been a fan of those guys for at least two years, and then to be on stage with them carrying the torch as [the seniors] graduated was unbelievable,” Ahlwardt said. “As they took that final bow, myself and four other guys that were newer members were standing behind them, and it was just a really cool moment to be a part of.”

In 1996, music school student Dan Ponce, who had wanted to start an a capella group for years, handpicked nine other students who then banded together to become Straight No Chaser.

The original group grew in popularity on campus by performing at sorority functions and the dance marathon and experienced a taste of national notoriety when they competed for the first time and placed second at a national collegiate a capella competition.

Ahlwardt would land a spot in the group a few years later.

What started as a way to share fond memories with the group years after everyone had graduated quickly became the group’s ticket to international fame. In 2006,

original member Randy Stine uploaded a video of the 1998 group performing their own take on “The 12 Days of Christmas” to YouTube.

Soon thereafter, the CEO of Atlantic Records, Craig Kallman, reached out to Stine to ask if the group would consider getting back together to record an album.

Multiple collaborations with renowned artists like Paul McCartney and Elton John, seven albums, eleven years of worldwide tours and millions of albums sold later, Straight No Chaser doesn’t see an end in sight. Last November, the group released an album entitled “One Shot” which tells the history of and celebrates the diversity of music tastes within the group.

Their legacy will continue to live on through the group Another Round which features IU students.

Ahlwardt left the group in 2012; however, music remains a full-time gig. He graduated with a marketing degree, but his profession still revolves around his voice though ministry, songwriting and voice acting. He also co-hosts a radio show for WZPL in Indianapolis entitled Radio Theology. His work can be found on Spotify and Apple Music, or on his website.

Growing up in a Navy family, Ahlwardt was constantly moving around — he was conditioned with starting over in different places.

By leaving the group, he was able to start a family and give his own kids the childhood he never had. He said it means a lot knowing he is able to provide for his family and grow a small business out of something that helped him become who he is today.

“Straight No Chaser is 100% part of that story, but it’s not the only part of that

François Verster leads masterclass

Straight No Chaser sings in front of the IU Auditorium during Culture Fest in 2000. Ryan Ahlwardt, a former member of the group, was commissioned to write a song celebrating IU’s bicentennial.

story,” Ahlwardt said. “It really trained me to step confidently to what I think is my life calling, and that’s to bring joy to people through creativity and through art.”

This year, Ahlwardt performed with Straight No Chaser once again at the Bicentennial Ceremony Sept.

28. He was one of four former members tasked with coming up with a new song that IU would be able to use as a new school anthem that celebrated not just Bloomington, but all IU campuses.

After writing the song in his basement and submitting it to the Bicentennial Committee for review, he received the news that his song “Indiana, We’re All For You” was the winner. Ahlwardt was then invited to perform the song at the ceremony.

Ahlwardt knows what he loves about IU-Bloomington, but he had to consider commonalities between all students and alumni. He also had to encapsulate everything that IU stood for within a three-minute song. Ahlwardt only lives a short drive away from campus in Indianapolis, but he intended for the song to bring home those who had moved far away after college.

With the lyrics, “it was 1820 when she was born, and raised up in the cool shades of those old Sycamores,” Ahlwardt explains how everyone who has come to campus has walked underneath the trees and experienced the immense beauty they have to offer.

“For this song to enter the canon of songs that are so near and dear to people’s hearts at IU, it’s truly a privilege and an honor to be a part of,” Ahlwardt said.

The group gave Ahlwardt lifelong friends, a passion for music and his wife, who he met through a capella at IU. Before the movie “Pitch Perfect” was even created, Straight No Chaser was one of the first groups to make waves in the a capella world.

“All we were just college kids singing around a piano in the music school not that long ago,” Ahlwardt said. “And then, we were being thrusted out on to those national and international stages. If someone told us in college ‘hey, this is going to be a way that you support your family, make a living and bring joy to people all over the world,’ it probably would’ve been too big for us to imagine at that point.”

South African filmmaker François Verster began his talk Monday at IU by describing his own definition of what a documentary is: a creative treatment of actuality. Verster said some filmmakers like to view documentaries as being either objective or subjective, however, he prefers to associate them with the terms integrity and authenticity instead.

As part of a co-collaboration between the Media School’s Center for Documentary Research and Practice and the Black Film Center/Archive, Verster led a free masterclass at the IU Cinema for those who enjoy watching and creating films.

Verster talked about his experience as a filmmaker, discussing topics such as creating documentaries on a small budget, ethics of displaying other people’s realities in your own films and the dilemma between telling the truth or creating the strongest stories.

He then played clips of his documentaries, allowing for further discussion of filmmaking techniques.

“The reason I make documentaries is because I want to learn about the world that I live in,” Verster said. “If I knew what I wanted to say in a film, then I wouldn’t make it.”

Verster is a film director and documentary creator who is famous for his movies that “have an ‘undercurrent’ theme of social in-

justice and people picking up the pieces of their lives,” according to the Center for Documentary Research and Practice website. Verster enjoys being able to work with small cameras and an outlet that he calls “the freest form” of film, as he is able to work alone and be independent of any film restrictions.

One of the most distinguished features of his films is attributed to his ability to build a relationship between himself and the protagonist, which makes it easier for audience members to feel more deeply influenced by these main subjects. He often spends years documenting the lives of his subjects and stays involved with their past, present and future even after the documentary is finished.

Verster explained that a film turns out better when the subject of the documentary is not anxious to be on camera. As Verster gets to know them better, he pries them open and is able to get them to let their guard down. This allows for the subject to reflect and think deeper about themselves, leaving the audience with more of a connection to them.

“You have actually hit something that is true (when people open up on camera),” Verster said.

“There is something that happens, some sort of a real moment that happens.

Often the level of resistance you get equates to the level of meaning of truth that you get. The camera eventually finds the truth.”

Chilean hip-hop duo sings politics

By Grace Abushalback gabushal@iu.edu

Rebel Diaz excited audience members with its hip hop performance Oct. 7 in the Grand Hall of the NealMarshall Black Culture Center as the room transformed into an open dance floor with Chilean-influenced music.

The group is made up of Chilean brothers Rodrigo Venegas, known as RodStarz, and Gonzalo Venegas, known as G1. DJ Illanoiz was also present, producing and playing the group’s music.

Some of its songs included

political messages such as “stop the war” and “no human being is inherently illegal.”

Before the show, audience members could be seen trying their own hand at Latin-inspired dance moves.

Bryan Pitts, the associate director for the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, said he was introduced to Rebel Diaz’s music several months ago and loved it immediately.

“I think what’s so exciting about tonight is learning the ways that music and political action can come together,”

Pitts said.

Sound filled the space as lyrics consisting of a mixture of Spanish and English reverberated in the hall. The show was an example of rap that has a universal and optimistic message to promote, Pitts said.

“There’s a broader message,” Pitts said. “It tells all of us we can use music. We can use art. We can use literature to effect positive change in whatever way you may understand that.”

The group encouraged people to take back the power and ability to influ-

ence others which they already possess, whether they are students, members of the black community, immigrants or anyone who is oppressed. The duo discussed how instead of simply opposing, proposition is needed to enact change.

“I really liked (the performance),” said Laís Lara Vanin, an IU Ph.D. student in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese from Brazil.

“It was really empowering I think especially for the Latina community.”

Venegas wanted his group’s performance to be

considered an “act of celebration,” in addition to a call for rebelling and having one’s own insurgence.

“The fact that we can get 20 to 30 people in here to be able to share these ideas is a victory,” Venegas said.
