2 FOUND DEAD IN APARTMENT COMPLEX Male believed to have killed female student before hanging himself Bloomington Police Department officers responded to Stratum Apartments at 3130 E. Goodnight Way after a man and woman were found dead in the common area of one of the apartment buildings. When officers arrived they found a 20-year-old man dead from an apparent suicide by hanging according to a BPD press release. Near him, officers discovered a 21-year-old woman dead from apparent stab wounds. Detectives said they believe the male killed the female victim before taking his own life, according to the release. The 21-year-old woman was a junior and transferred to IU this fall. The 20-year-old man was not a student, IU spokesperson Mark Land said.
The victim and suspect had known each other for some time and had recently been involved in a relationship, according to the release. No additional individuals are thought to be involved. The officials of the Stratum Apartment complex declined to comment on the case. There was no indication that the location was still an active crime scene. This case is unrelated to the missing persons case of Joseph Smedley, according to Lt. Brad Seifers of BPD. The case is still under investigation, and the names of the deceased are being withheld until family members can be notified. Both involve international contacts and will take more time.
The 20-year-old man and 21-year-old woman were both discovered dead in Stratum Apartment Complex, located near College Mall. The male died from apparent suicide according to a Bloomington Police Department press release. Police said they believe he killed the woman, who died from apparent stab wounds.

IU prepares to compete against Ohio State’s Heisman-hopefuls By Taylor Lehman trlehman@indiana.edu | @trlehman_IDS
IU football finds itself in waters that the program has not tested in 25 years, with IU starting the season 4-0, while Ohio State finds itself in a place where no other program has been before, a unanimous No. 1 in the preseason Associated Press Top25 Poll. Both teams have gone undefeated, a combined 8-0, through the first four weeks of the season, but while IU has not been ranked in the preseason poll since 1969, Ohio State has only missed that poll twice in the same time span. The crossroads land at 3:30 p.m. Saturday in Memorial Stadium. As IU prepares to play not only the highest-ranked opponent on its schedule, but the highest-ranked opponent in the nation in Ohio State, the Hoosiers will also be preparing for three potential Heisman candidates at the same time.
Junior starting quarterback Cardale Jones, sophomore backup quarterback J.T. Barrett and senior halfback — and former quarterback — Braxton Miller will all come to Bloomington to open Big Ten play for both schools. “It’s a tremendous challenge,” IU defensive coordinator Brian Knorr said about defending the three Buckeye players. “With a threat like Braxton Miller, he can be all over the field, and the two quarterbacks that they’re playing, I think are multi-talented.” Jones, who stands at 6-foot-5, 250 pounds, is the largest quarterback the Hoosiers will have to sack this season, after the Hoosiers recorded nine sacks in their first four games. Barrett, who has 12 career starts at quarterback compared to Jones’ seven, was competing for a Heisman Trophy in 2014, posting 2,834 passing yards, 938 rushing yards and a total of 45 SEE QUARTERBACKS, PAGE 6
IU expecting a Memorial Stadium sell-out for Big Ten East showdown By Brody Miller brodmill@indiana.edu | @BrodyMillerIDS
IU football is 4-0. Athletics Director Fred Glass said he expects a sellout in Memorial Stadium. Something is different about this Saturday. There is expected to be an unfamiliar energy surrounding the game when No. 1 Ohio State, the defending national champion, comes to Bloomington to play IU at 3:30 p.m. Saturday. But maybe more importantly, IU enters the contest as more than an afterthought. As a reminder of what the public opinion is of IU football, when IU defeated Ohio State in 1987, then-Ohio State Coach Earl Bruce referred to it as the “darkest day” in program history. But this isn’t just any Ohio State team. It’s one that returns 14 starters from the championship team. It’s filled with firstround draft prospects and Heisman Trophy candidates. Yet

playing the Buckeyes isn’t new for the Hoosiers. “We know when you play in the Big Ten East, you’ll play these guys,” IU Coach Kevin Wilson said. “And we embrace that challenge.” Ohio State Coach Urban Meyer, who Wilson said is as good as anyone in the country, said he was disappointed in the Buckeye defense during his weekly press conference.

Singing Hoosiers present 1st concert of semester By Brooke McAfee bemcafee@indiana.edu | @bemcafee24601
The Singing Hoosiers constantly work to perfect their performance. It’s a commitment to rehearsals for at least an hour a day and performances and events on and off campus, sophomore Kylie Bruetman said. However, Bruetman said the time spent is worth it. He said being in the ensemble is like having a family away from home. “It’s a very open group, and as much as we see each other in rehearsal, we still love hanging out with everyone outside of rehearsal too,” Bruetman said. “It really establishes early on a sense of family and community that everyone in the group seems to click with.” The Singing Hoosiers will present the culmination of all of its work in its Fall Preview at 8 p.m.
Friday and Saturday in Auer Hall. The concert is the ensemble’s first concert of the semester. The Singing Hoosiers is a choral ensemble in the Jacobs School of Music that performs popular contemporary music, including songs from Broadway, Top-40 hits and the Great American Songbook. The group also has choreographed numbers. The group, which consists of about 90 students, is open to people in any major. Bruetman, who is studying marketing and is a member of the group’s public relations and marketing team, said the majority of students are not music majors. “It’s not something that we do because we have to as a requirement, but because we want to,” Bruetman said. “We want to keep singing and making music even if we’re not studying it.”
