How Logan Justus Helped Teach a High School Student to Kick By Caleb Coffman calcoffm@iu.edu | @CalCoff
As he walked through the doors and stepped onto the turf of the John Mellencamp Pavilion, James Knowlton couldn’t believe what he was stepping into. He spun around looking at the red and white walls and the IU logo planted at the center of the field, faded from countless practices. When James Knowlton messaged senior kicker Logan Justus two months earlier, he never imagined it would lead to him standing on IU football’s practice field getting ready to work out with one of the best kickers in the country. Growing up in Carmel, Indiana, James Knowlton and his family were die-hard IU fans. Even with basketball being the main sport in the state, James always had an affinity for football and grew up watching quarterback Peyton Manning play for the Indianapolis Colts. James Knowlton’s love of football grew even more when his family moved out of basketball country to Salt Lake City, Utah, when he was 10 years old, where football is still king. “James has had a love for football from a very early age,” his father Stewart Knowlton said. “Unfortunately, his body size didn’t grow as fast as his love for the sport, so he was forced to focus on a sport with a little less contact than football – soccer.” James Knowlton found success playing soccer as a standout

athlete and grew to love the game, but there was always a special spot in his heart for football. At the end of his sophomore year of high school, James Knowlton realized many of the best kickers in football are also soccer
players. In that moment, his avenue towards football opened. “I started kicking late, late in my sophomore year,” James Knowlton said. “I kind of just started and worked until the next
season.” James Knowlton caught the eye of Skyline High School’s football coach Zac Erekson and was invited to come play for the team
the Bulldogs 18 times. Last season’s 3-0 win against Butler was one of 12 solo shutouts for IU alumnus Trey Muse. That game also featured goals in
A month ago, civil rights veteran Dolores Huerta was arrested for protesting the wages of home care workers with a labor union in California. On Thursday, Huerta shared her experience as an educator, organizer, feminist and activist to a crowd of about 500 people. The event was one of many in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month. IU professor Sylvia Martinez introduced Huerta. “As the Latino Studies Program celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, it really provides an opportunity to celebrate well-known historical movements, but also on occasion, to unearth untold stories,” Martinez said. Huerta co-founded historical organizations such as the Community Service Organization and the National Farm Workers Association. From 1946-1964, Huerta lobbied to secure legislative protections for Latinas and Latinos, passing at least 15 bills into law. By visiting colleges across the country, Huerta said she empowers young students to continue the fight for race, gender and class equity. Huerta said change starts with grassroots organization, education that recognizes the history of marginalized groups and voting. “Unfortunately, in our educational system, we have never taught the real history of the United States of America,” said Huerta. “We didn’t cross the border. The border crossed us.” The crowd was diverse in race, ethnicity and age. It consisted of students, faculty and community members of Bloomington and surrounding areas. Huerta’s visit was

Coming off their first regulation victory of the season, No. 4 IU men’s soccer will hit the road against Butler University. “We know they’re a quality team, it’s an instate rival so it’s going to be a packed house,” freshman defender Daniel Munie said. “We’ll be ready for sure.” IU’s recent 3-1 victory over the University of Wisconsin was marked by three freshman goals and a defense that is improving as the season progresses. With that, here are some things to know for Tuesday’s match at the Bud and Jackie Sellick Bowl.

1. Butler has dropped three of its last four Wisconsin is the only team that Butler has taken down in the last few weeks. Since winning their first two games, the Bulldogs are 2-4. Butler’s recent 3-0 loss at the hands of Georgetown University exposed a struggling defense and a low-production offense. The Bulldogs surrendered 14 shots compared to the four they took while also having their sophomore goalkeeper, Gabriel Gjergji, save five shots on goal. Butler is one of the bottom
Indiana University announced Thursday morning that starting in the fall of 2020, graduate students in the College of Arts and Sciences will no longer be required to pay unremittable fees. The announcement comes just one week after the Graduate Workers Coalition gathered to discuss protesting mandatory graduate student fees. In response to this announcement, the Graduate Workers Coalition had a press conference Friday outside Owen Hall. More than 75 graduate students gathered to show their support. “We celebrate a half-step out of a system that requires us to pay for our poverty,” member Nathan Schmidt yelled through a megaphone. Unremittable fees are those graduate workers pay as a portion of their tuition, totaling about 5% or $1,200 a year. IU is the only university in the Big Ten that requires students to pay unremittable fees, according to a press release from the graduate workers’ public relations representative Elizabeth Williams. These fees are not the ones the Coalition has been protesting. They are protesting against mandatory fees, which cost over $1,300 each year and an additional $700 a year for international graduate students, according to the press release. This reprieve from unremittable fees will only apply to students enrolled in programs through the College of Arts and Sciences. The Coalition stated it will not rest until no graduate student worker is required to pay mandatory or international student fees. “We will not rest until Indiana University shines, not for keeping up with the norm, but as a beacon of excellence in compensating and recognizing the centrality of graduate labor,” Schmidt said.
