After 45 years, declining sales may cause Caveat Emptor to close its doors this August if the business is not sold. Caveat Emptor, which is at 112 N. Walnut St., is a used book and CD store specializing in hard-to-find items, particularly biography and history books. Owner Janis Starcs, 73, said two mail orders going out Monday were for an Estonian dictionary and a 20th-century Chinese autobiography. “It’s becoming an expensive hobby,” said Starcs, who studied European history at IU. “I just can’t afford to keep on doing it.” Starcs said the decline in sales

Multiple incidents of peeping in Wright Quad bathrooms were reported to the IU Police Department last week. One report was made Wednesday, and two more were reported Friday. “We’ve been seeing a few of these incidents in Wright recently,” IUPD Capt. Andy Stephenson said. “There was only an arrest in one case, but we believe that case is related to the others.” In all of the cases, female students taking showers reported witnessing a hand reaching into the shower and holding a cell phone. The students told police photos or video footage was taken of them. In the Wednesday case, 18-yearold IU student D’Onte Montague was arrested. He and another male student were seen exiting a women’s restroom in Wright Quad, and the RA staff called the police, Stephenson said. After an interview with detectives, IUPD determined Montague was a suspect in the case and arrested him, Stephenson said. Montague is charged with two counts of voyeurism, which is a level six felony. Sarah Gardner
Freshman lineman arrested for drinking From IDS reports
IU freshman defensive lineman Jacob Robinson was arrested at Briscoe Quad on Saturday for underage drinking and lying about his age to a police officer. He agreed to the Little 500 pre-trial diversion program that took place Sunday, requiring Jacob him to pay a $428 Robinson fine and perform road-crew work by picking up trash in town.

fashion right now, but they have some inherent value and will always be of significance to those interested in learning. Business has been affected by changes in downtown Bloomington, such as the addition of parking meters a few years ago, Starcs said. People used to park downtown for free and spend hours wandering in the store. However, due to the meters, local residents don’t shop downtown as often, he said. The changes in the publishing industry have also led to a decline in business, Starcs said.

Italian film symposium returns for 7th year By TJ Jaeger tjaeger@indiana.edu | @TJ_Jaeger
Although he is in charge of most of the planning, organizing and promotion of the annual Italian film symposium, Antonio Vitti, a professor of Italian cinema at IU, said his favorite part is naming and grouping all of the panel presentations. It is a creative process, Vitti said. “By looking at the papers the speakers send, I try to find similarities or contrasts, and I like to put them in sessions with people that stimulate discussions,” he said. With 13 different panels, six films and dozens of speakers, Vitti has put together the seventh Film Symposium on New Trends in Modern and Contemporary Italian Cinema. It is taking place at the IU Cinema today until Saturday. Vitti said putting together the symposium has been a continual process. He was helped by Andrea Ciccarelli, dean of the Hutton Honors College. He is already preparing for next year’s symposium. The work goes on all year, he said. “People will start sending me abstracts and proposals, and then I have to start sending acceptance letters and organizing the sessions,” Vitti said. This year’s symposium revolves mostly around the work of Franco Maresco, an award-winning Italian filmmaker. Maresco’s post-modern style has been influential since his rise in the 1980s. Films to be screened this weekend include “The Return of Cagliostro,” “I am Tony Scott,”

“Berlusconi: A Sicilian Story,” “I Don’t Know the Men of this City,” “The Uncle From Brooklyn” and “Totò Who Lived Twice.” Vitti said he is curious to see how the general public reacts to Maresco’s work. Maresco’s films apply a bittersweet, grotesque comedy style, he said. The films also focus on marginalized people, Vitti said. “These are not glamorous people,” he said. “These are not glamorous stories. A lot of people don’t go to the movies to see these sorts of films.” Along with the films will be several panel presentations from Italian film scholars from IU and from around the world. The panel presentations

IUPD takes 202 calls for Little 500 By Sarah Gardner gardnese@indiana.edu @sarahhhgardner
IU Police Department Sgt. Brian Oliger said the weekend of Little 500 is one of his favorite times of the year. He said while the department usually deals with the people who are most out of control, the busy atmosphere of the weekend makes his job more fun. IUPD responded to 202 calls from 6 p.m. Thursday to 6 a.m. Sunday, IUPD Capt. Andy Stephenson said. This doesn’t include any officer-initiated interactions, such as traffic stops. “We get some belligerent people we have to deal with, and they’re usually not so nice,” Oliger said. “But for the most part I like to be out there around everybody.” Oliger was an IUPD cadet in 1996, worked as a part-time officer in 1997 and began working full-time in 1999. He was also a rider for Delta Chi’s Little 500 team during his time at IU. “No matter what you’re doing, there are going to be a few people who ruin it for everybody else,” Oliger said. “There are some people who are difficult to deal with, but most people are just out there having fun.” IUPD was one of several
law enforcement agencies to respond to Little 500 weekend incidents, including the Bloomington Police Department and Indiana State Police. IUPD made 33 arrests, 26 of which involved alcohol, Stephenson said. “This is pretty similar to the numbers we’ve seen in the past few years,” Stephenson said. “There hasn’t been a significant increase or decrease in dispatches recently.” Multiple rapes were among the crimes reported to IUPD. This is not typically a trend for the department during Little 500 weekend, Stephenson said. “There’s no data that indicates rape is more prevalent or more violent during the weekend of Little 500,” Stephenson said. “And, as always, these are just the ones reported to us. We’re never sure how many aren’t reported, which makes it a hard crime to track.” Weather often plays a role in levels of criminal activity, Oliger said. He said Little 500 weekend was rainy and cold the last two years, which could have caused a decrease in the number of dispatches and arrests. While there was a surge in activity for police officers last weekend, it has been

worse in past years, Oliger said. He said most students have learned how to stay out of trouble due to the increased police presence during Little 500 weekend. “I would equate it to working a very busy football weekend,” Oliger said. “We used to be riding call to call, and there were always fights everywhere.” This year, there were 42 IUPD dispatches to dorms and 17 to greek houses, Stephenson said. “Some officers don’t like that. They want the weekend to be slow,” Oliger said. “But for me, I love being busy. It doesn’t feel like work for me.”

PHA works to raise funds to build school By Austin Faulds afaulds@indiana.edu | @a_faulds9615
By next summer, Sydney Twiggs, the Panhellenic Association vice president of community involvement, said she hopes to be in a foreign country with her sorority sisters to build a school. In order to accomplish this, Twiggs said PHA has been actively working with its national philanthropy, the Circle of Sisterhood Foundation. Circle of Sisterhood is an organization that brings education to girls and women across the world in underprivileged countries, PHA Director of Service Madi Lasson said. PHA’s goal is to raise $40,000 by the end of the fall semester in order to help fund building a school and make a difference in the lives of these women, Twiggs said. “The impact we want to make as a Panhellenic council is to come together to
empower women who are not as privileged as we are and give them the means to become successful women,” Twiggs said. PHA is currently deciding between two countries to assist in the philanthropy, Lasson said. He said PHA is considering building the school in either Senegal or Nicaragua, both of which are known for their low education rates. Once the money is raised, Twiggs said she and 14 other sisters will embark on a trek experience to one of these countries to help build the school. While abroad, the sisters will begin the building process, but will leave the rest of the work to construction workers, Twiggs said. However, Lasson said a quarter of the funds raised will be sent to Circle of Sisterhood by the end of the semester as a down payment for the trip and philanthropy. Twiggs said half of this amount is already secured.
To meet this deadline, Twiggs said she has asked each chapter in PHA to raise $450 by the end of the semester. About $2,000 has already been raised through registration fees for sorority recruitment this year. Twiggs said PHA also will be putting on a Dine and Donate between 5 p.m. and 3 a.m., beginning April 26 at Domino’s Pizza, to raise more money for Circle of Sisterhood. While PHA has always raised awareness and promoted the causes of Circle of Sisterhood, Twiggs said this is the first the two have come together for a philanthropy at IU. When she began her position with PHA at the beginning of this semester, Twiggs said she saw it as an opportunity to help Circle of Sisterhood. “It’s really just giving the organization at IU a driving force, a push, a tangible goal,” Twiggs said. Many IU sororities have
their own Circle of Sisterhood representative, Twiggs said. She said seeing their excitement, as well as the excitement of all the other sisters, only fuels her own. Lasson said she is also eager for this philanthropy because it gives PHA another opportunity to do something great. “We’re so lucky to be able to go to such a wonderful university and be in such an awesome organization,” Lasson said. “It’s important for us to help girls who don’t have the same opportunities as we do.” Twiggs said she hopes PHA will be able to help fund the construction of a school every two years. For now, however, Lasson said she is very proud with how far PHA has come in fundraising. “We’re mobilizing in such a huge way,” Lasson said. “Were going to be able to build a school and show others the awesome things we did.”
When an earthquake strikes your country and you’re thousands of miles from home, you feel crushed, sophomore Diego Herrera said. On Saturday, Ecuador was hit by a 7.8 magnitude earthquake. The tremors, which have killed hundreds and injured thousands, left several citizens missing and without shelter in the earthquake’s aftermath. A series of smaller earthquakes and aftershocks followed, including one Tuesday. Although Herrera said none of his family members or friends were affected, it was the worst earthquake in his country’s history. Herrera, who transferred from Universidad San Francisco de Quito in Ecuador three semesters ago, said he wanted to raise awareness on campus and collect donations to help the victims. “The origin of the earthquake was in the northwest region of the country,” Herrera said. “This is one of the poorest areas in the country, where fishermen live in their wooden houses. It will take months or years to build the area back.” IU for Ecuador’s Earthquake Victims, a campaign initiated by Herrera and sophomore Anna Arteaga, is spreading its message this week about the severity of the earthquake and then gathering donations to send abroad for displaced families. Arteaga’s father Jaime, a pilot, traveled to Ecuador to provide relief for victims and help the underserved. “He is shocked, and it is heartbreaking to see the beach towns we love and the people we love be so devastated,” Arteaga said. Herrera delivered a speech at the Bloomington Faculty Council meeting Tuesday. He said he spoke with people at
the School of Global and International Studies, where lecturer Israel Herrera noticed his efforts and convinced him to present ideas to faculty. “Our hearts and sympathies are with Diego and his cause,” IU Provost Lauren Robel said. “Being so far from home while such a disaster hits is beyond a great challenge.” The campaign began a few days ago and is not an official organization, Herrera said. However, if the movement gains traction and they acquire the facilities to move forward, Herrera said they will contact a faculty member to turn their efforts into a fullfledged campus organization. “We are aware that this is a long-term problem,” Herrera said. “The affected population needs time to reorganize itself because so many people have lost their homes and lives. We won’t be able to fix this in the few weeks left in the semester.” Herrera said they placed donation boxes in several accessible areas around campus, such as the Fine Arts Building, Hutton Honors College and Hodge Hall. The organization is also placing boxes in residence halls, as well as the Indiana Memorial Union. Those interested in donating can provide several different items, from nonperishable food products to clothing and shoes, Herrera said. He said bottled water and safety equipment are also less commonly donated and helpful for the cause. The campaign is in contact with the Ecuadorian Consulate in Chicago, which will take the food and clothing to survivors. Herrera said he wants their efforts to turn into a longterm project that provides sustainable relief. “The situation is worse than it seems in the media so we need as much help as possible,” Herrera said. “It’s our moral obligation to help university students in need.”
CORRECTIONS A story in the campus section of the Indiana Daily Student on Monday incorrectly stated a complaint claiming REAL did not disclose all finances properly. The story should have identified RISE. A story in Friday’s region section did not include that a similar Food Truck Friday event also happens in the parking lot of the Chocolate Moose in addition to the event in the parking lot of Smith’s Shoe Center. The original Food Truck Friday was created by the Chocolate Moose. A story in the campus section of the IDS said the number of those killed without guns was 660 in 2014. To clarify, this number refers to those killed without assault weapons. The IDS regrets these errors.

Indy man sentenced for 2014 gang rape By Suzanne Grossman spgrossm@indiana.edu @suzannepaige6
A Monroe County judge sentenced Michael Deweese, 20, to 109 1/2 years in prison in a sentencing hearing Tuesday morning for rape and attempted murder committed in 2014. While waiting for his sentencing, Deweese’s baby girl was born. In his statement to the court today, Deweese spoke about his daughter. “My daughter was born when I was in jail, and I’ve had no chance to hold her,” Deweese said. Judge Marc Kellams sentenced Deweese to 109 years, with a chance for parole after 82 years. If he stays in prison for his full sentence, he won’t hold his daughter until he’s 102 years old. During the three-hour long hearing Tuesday, letters from a victim and the mother of a victim were read and testimonies from Deweese’s cousin and grandmother were heard by a full gallery that poured into the jury stand. The victims of his gang rape, burglary, attempted robbery and various other crimes still aren’t sleeping, according to statements read by victim advocates at the sentencing and written by the victims and their family. They refuse to leave their bedrooms at night to go to the bathroom in case an intruder is waiting to harm them. They believe they will never be able to live alone again. “He has, in a way, taken my daughter away forever,” the mother of a victim, noted as AMR, wrote in a letter read aloud during DeWeese’s sentencing hearing Tuesday morning. In November 2014, Deweese, then 19 years old, entered the Bloomington apartment of three 24-yearold female IU students just northwest of campus. He then raped one woman and assisted in raping the other. He committed the crimes with alleged cohorts Vaylen Glazebrook and Jesse Benti-Torres. BPD officer William Abram responded to a 911 call one of the women’s roommates had made. Two shots were fired, and Abram took cover. Abram went to the west side of the apartment and saw two men fleeing the property.
They then fired another shot at Abrams, and Abrams fired back reportedly hitting Glazebrook and Deweese. Abram later received the Congressional Badge of Bravery for responding to the attack. Just hours before the attack, the victim noted as SRE was ending a two-hour phone call with her longdistance boyfriend. During the attack SRE was forced to wonder if she would ever see him or her family again, she wrote in her letter. She didn’t think she’d survive the night. As she was forced to perform oral sex on Deweese with a gun to her head, she thought about biting his penis off. “I always said I’d just bite it off when I thought about these situations,” she writes in her letter. “I was numb. I couldn’t move.” SRE asked for the harshest possible penalty for Deweese. She said she still suffers from the attacks and believes she always will, but that they won’t break her forever. “This world we live in is not safe,” she wrote in her letter. “There are people out there who are sick — I am still enjoying my life. You will not break me.” Deweese’s younger cousin, Olivia Lopez, 15, gave a statement about the character of her cousin who she said was much like a brother to her. While crying, she begged the court to not take Deweese’s life because she said his daughter needed him and because their family has already lost enough people to drugs and prison. As she spoke, tears fell from Deweese’s eyes for the first time that day. Deweese’s grandmother gave a statement acknowledging the horrible acts Deweese admitted to but hoped he wouldn’t be handed a life sentence. She spoke about how he never swore or raised his voice and was working hard to financially support his then-pregnant girlfriend. She said she feels sorry for the girls and Deweese should be punished. As she walked back to the gallery, she apologized to the audience. Abram said he didn’t believe it was fair for Deweese’s family and attorney to argue Deweese shouldn’t get a life sentence because
it would mean Deweese misses out on his daughter’s Michael life. He DeWeese stated Deweese’s actions that night have caused damage to several people, lasting beyond the evening of the attack. Finally, Deweese apologized. He said if he could take it all back he would and that it was his fault and his fault alone. “I had many opportunities to go that night,” Deweese said. “I had a beautiful girlfriend with a baby on the way. I should’ve been with them.” Prosecuting attorney Chris Gaal argued the crimes were extremely brutal and showed “violent disregard for the humanity of the victims,” and therefore deserved aggravated sentences. He asked for 146 years in total for the attempted murder, three counts of rape, confinement, burglary, armed robbery and the mandatory firearm enhancement for all crimes. Defense attorney Roy Graham argued a life sentence was too long and what the state was asking for exceeded what is asked for when murder is committed. He also argued Deweese will already be continually punished by being labeled a sex offender for life. Kellams said he could never understand why Deweese committed these crimes, no matter Deweese’s level of intoxication or dysfunctional family and childhood. “This was a horrific crime,” Kellams said. “It shocks the community consciousness that this happened.” Kellams said Deweese’s acts were monstrous but also cited worse possibilities and therefore could not accept the max sentence of 146 years proposed. He instead gave smaller sentences for various charges adding up to 109 1/2 years. “No young woman who comes to college should ever have to go through what these young women went through,” Kellams said. “They come here to make life better for themselves. No one comes to have what happened to them happen to them.”

Trump advisor speaks to Senate on immigration By Taylor Telford ttelford@indiana.edu @ttelford1883
The man who advised Donald Trump to have Mexico pay for a border wall also advised legislators Tuesday of ways to crack down on illegal immigrants in Indiana. Kris Kobach, Kansas secretary of state, has a history of creating anti-immigration legislation and was the first witness called Tuesday afternoon to address a Senate committee on immigration issues, headed by Sen. Mike Delph, R-29th District. Delph heralded Kobach’s expertise, and said he was hopeful Kobach would offer insight for actions in Indiana. “Immigration systems at home and abroad have been abused,” Delph said. “Mr. Kobach has had a long and successful career in the field. He has volunteered his time and talent at my request.” Some of Kobach’s previous work includes drafting Arizona’s Senate Bill 1070, which had provisions overturned by the Supreme Court. He also authored a bill in Alabama prohibiting illegal immigrants from accessing public benefits and allowing law enforcement officers to question a person’s legal status during a stop or arrest with “reasonable suspicion.” Alongside Dale Wilcox, CEO of the Immigration Reform Law Institute, Kobach provided context on federal and state immigration law nationwide, according to the meeting’s agenda. Specifically, Kobach recommended businesses in Indiana be forced to use an e-verify system to confirm the legal status of all their employees or be stripped of their business licenses. He said he has already developed similar, successful legislation in Arizona. “States are afforded the ability to leverage the business-licensing process as a means of enforcing immigration law,” Kobach said. Discouraging businesses from employing illegal immigrants would leave more jobs open for citizens and potentially raise wages, Kobach said. Despite questions from committee members, he said
he did not think this would damage Indiana’s economy. “You’re insisting that this did not negatively affect the economy in other states where multiple companies openly admit to hiring illegal immigrants for labor?” Sen. Frank Mrvan, D-1st District, asked. “There were transition periods, but ultimately they worked things out,” Kobach said. Kobach also recommended Indiana enact more stringent proof-of-citizenship standards during voter registration, including the presentation of documents like a birth certificate or social security card. Since illegal immigrants do not have these documents, they would not be able to complete the registration process. “You have a lot of aliens registering through errors because the law requires they be asked if they’d like to register to vote when they get a driver’s license,” Kobach said. “The truth is that every time a non-citizen votes, it effectively cancels out the vote of a citizen.” Wilcox argued the issue of immigration is very much in the hands of the states because they bear the consequences of illegal immigration. Wilcox said illegal immigrants are undermining the respective law, increasing unfair competitions for jobs, threatening national security and placing strains on schools and hospitals. Delph said the committee wanted to hear from a range of voices on immigration issues to make informed recommendations about policy for the next legislative session. He said the committee was interested in the stories of naturalized immigrants and their experiences. He did not express any specific interest in hearing about undocumented immigrants, who were at the core of all potential policies discussed. The only person called to testify besides Dale and Wilcox was a former Senate staffer who emigrated from Germany in the 1940s, who said she was offended by immigrants who try to subvert the laws to their benefit.
During the public comment section, Sen. Greg Taylor, D-33rd District, expressed his outrage as a legislator and Hoosier that the committee claiming to explore issues of immigration was made up entirely of white men. Taylor encouraged committee members to hear from people who would be affected by the legislation, including undocumented people. “I’ve given eight years to this body, and every year I come over and over again trying to give the benefit of the doubt to this legislature, but being a minority, it’s tough,” Taylor said. “Today marks a tragedy in this body where five white men are making decisions about a group of people who are not represented.” The only undocumented person to speak during the meeting was Guadalupe Pimentel, who was brought into the U.S. illegally when she was 7 years old. She shared her story with the committee — coming from a mixed-status family where her brother and mother are legal residents — and pleaded with them to learn about the realities of undocumented immigrants. She spoke for less than three minutes. Pimental, who studies media and public affairs at IU-Purdue University Indianapolis, said it was emotionally draining to listen to legislators and citizens malign undocumented immigrants. “It’s hard for them to humanize us when they never hear from us,” Pimental said. “It’s hurtful because my brother fought in Afghanistan and got shot at 30 times a night, but they are saying we don’t contribute anything.” Altogether, Pimental said she was unsurprised by the talk dominating the committee and said she feels it bodes poorly for the next legislative session. “I feel like the fact that they chose to start with Kobach and Wilcox really set the tone,” Pimental said. “It’s very concerning, especially since they are bringing in people who don’t even live here and don’t know the community to make recommendations about what to do.”

FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH
A teaching moment
ILLUSTRATION BY MORGAN ANDERSON | IDS
The view from the screen WE SAY: Companies should handle illegal content with responsibility and wise judgement A teenager in Columbus, Ohio, is accused of livestreaming a freind’s sexual assault. Using the app Periscope, the teenager supposedly filmed as a mutual acquaintance assaulted one of her friends. This incident was reportedly noticed by one of the filmer’s friends in another state and reported to the authorities, reported the Guardian. Incidents of sexual assault, such as the rape of a student this past Little 500 weekend, should be handled in accordance with responsibility of those involved. But, when assault happens on the other side of the screen in the digital age, it begs the question of whose responsibility it is to find inappropriate and illegal content on social media platforms such as these. Companies operating social media platforms retain
the right to censor content on their apps and websites. We do not mean to pass judgement on what types of content should be taken down from websites. That is an individual decision that each company must make when deciding issues about their brand and customer perceptions. Some corporations will be more interested in putting forward a familyfriendly image while others will want to gain a reputation for free thought and expression. Our purpose here is to discuss how wrong and blatantly illegal content such as that discussed above should be handled. It is impractical to expect social media companies to sort through all the content produced every day on their platforms, such a task is impossible with the amount of data generated today. While it may be feasible to use bots to do this, the
process would still require a human to make the final decision on whether something should be taken down or not. Profit-motivated companies are likely unwilling to do such a thing, and any law requiring them to would dance dangerously close to violating the First Amendment. Instead, it seems what happened in this case is the best way to handle these sorts of issues. Responsible reporting on the part of other users is likely the most efficient and only practical way to monitor the mass of content created every day for social media. Users within the social networks of their friends are capable of making the best decisions about when to report inappropriate content. Speaking in generalities, a poster’s friends should be best equipped to make the judgement call about when
their friend is being hyperbolic versus actually making real threats or serious posts. This is something bots would not be capable of doing. Additionally, this sort of volunteer monitoring would be free for companies. Once reported, a company’s brand and image come into question, so those within the corporation would be willing and able to make the call on whether or not the content needs to be removed. Such a system is not necessarily ideal; other users may be of a similar mindset as those posting illegal content, or just simply not care enough to take the steps necessary to alert others. However, it seems the best solution given that other options are themselves expensive and therefore unlikely to be adopted in large measure by companies and may be illegal if required by statute.
CRAZY IS MAJORITY RULES
Journalism in the Information Age I recently came across a bit of commentary in the New York Times article “For news outlets squeezed from the middle, it’s bend or bust” about a topic I’ve always held a fairly firm position on: the role of journalism in the information age. Some grim propositions have been made surrounding the topic. Journalism schools are attempting to adjust in order to accommodate new modes of communication, but uneasy speculation still surrounds the question of just what will become of traditional news. The piece I mentioned earlier posited that it is “bend or bust” for news organizations in the modern climate. Either bend and give up traditional conservative notions of what journalism should be, or bust, and presumably fall apart. I agree with this article that those are essentially the only possibilities, and I also agree that bending is
obviously the best way for news to go. By adopting new technologies and using the vast quantities of information now available on consumer tendencies, it should be possible for currently established news outlets to evolve to suit the modern age. Collapse is definitely preventable for journalism, and the writer of this article and I agree on that. I disagree, however, with the writer’s notion of what happens in the “bust” scenario. The way it is painted in the article, news outlets that fail to adapt will inevitably collapse as a result. This will leave a desolate wasteland of featherbrained superficiality which is apparently to be ruled by the Kardashian dynasty. In short, valuable information will no longer be made available to the American public. Caricature though this may be, the fact remains
the belief behind it is somewhat short-sighted, and carries some fairly disturbing implications. It should be clarified that the entire situation doesn’t end at the scarcity of relevant news in American media. To explain a bit further, pretend one news organization undergoes this “bust” process. They held too firmly to the notion that they had to publish a daily news brief that wasn’t drawing any readers, or what have you, and now they’re no longer able to produce content. A vacuum now exists in the space that organization used to occupy, and that vacuum is likely to be filled by enterprising young people who will create a news organization that does use modern information technology to guide their decisionmaking and develop their content. Now we have the role of the original news organization, occupied by

a more modern entity that operates differently than the original, essentially serving the same end as the original outlet did. This sounds a lot like the situation that results from “bending,” if I do say so myself. There would of course be a transition period. In this interim between the news of yesterday and that of the future, we might experience something like the widespread poverty of information in Kardashian’s America. For this reason I still think bending is the better option, but I wish to impress that even if something that looks like a “bust” does come to pass, it isn’t the end of news as we know it. jcworrel@indiana.edu

For me, Teacher Appreciation Week was a nonevent growing up. This speaks to the nature of the profession — men and women who educate youth seldom do it for recognition. In retrospect, however, I’ve realized the impact teachers have had on my life, for better or for worse. Teachers possess an incredible amount of influence on society, guiding children through the ins and outs of their formative youth. It’s just a shame they’re not treated accordingly. On April 16, the possibility of the second teacher’s strike in Chicago Public Schools since 2012 became frighteningly real. An assessment of the recommendations of an independent fact finder by the Chicago Teachers Union concluded in a stalemate, and it seems that the march toward another work stoppage has begun. The point of contention in the negotiation centers around CPS’ stipulation that it no longer contribute seven percent to employee pensions due to fiscal pressures from the state. Whether or not the school board’s hand has been forced, this standoff points to a larger issue. If teachers are being paid to spend eight hours a day teaching our children the ways of the world, we should be doing everything we can to keep them happy. The United States’ public school system has such crippling inefficiencies, sometimes it is simply impossible to compensate teachers according to their true value. Illinois public schools alone are $20 billion in debt, or $10,000 per student. It’s difficult to fairly compensate these teachers if the state is not doing its duty to allocate the requisite funds, and the school board is wasting copious

amounts of money on burdensome turnover rates. Richard Ingersoll of the University of Pennsylvania found that between 40 and 50 percent of teachers have left the profession within their first five years. With education school enrollment plummeting across American colleges, the best and brightest are becoming less and less likely to choose education as a profession. Between contentious federal testing standards and the constant threat of severe repercussions if standards are not met, the prospects of a teaching career might not be particularly appealing to the average college student. The biggest contributing factor here lies in the fact that the issue perpetuates and compounds itself. As we devalue the teaching profession by overworking and undercompensating, the costs begin to outweigh the benefits of becoming a teacher, especially for those who lack a true passion. As a result, admittance standards to education schools will be compromised as colleges struggle to fill classrooms, and the quality of graduates will suffer. Filling teaching positions with less qualified individuals will further contribute to the intense scrutiny that teachers feel from parents, which further disincentivizes people to enter the field. It’s a vicious cycle. Education is not worth compromising on. When the week of May 2 rolls around, let your child’s teachers know they’re appreciated. dkilcull@indiana.edu @daniel_kilc
NEVER TELL ME THE ODDS
More like, ‘Pledge of Obedience’ Every day, children in schools stand up and recite the Pledge of Allegiance. Many Americans accept this as normal, but I have serious problems with the Pledge of Allegiance, and my issues with it don’t revolve around the phrase “under God.” In 1943, the Supreme Court ruled that no one can be forced to say the pledge and most states, including Indiana, also have laws reiterating that it is completely voluntary, although Indiana public schools must set aside a “daily opportunity” for the oath. Still, no one could deny the pressure on every student to utter those 31 words. Conformity is nearuniversal. Every day, young Americans rise to their feet without batting an eyelash and declare their unconditional loyalty to the “Republic,” the United States government. They’re taught to value our country above anything else. True patriotism centers more on valuing America’s principles, from natural rights to rule of law to individualism. Leaders and administrations are fallible and come and go, but principles are permanently embedded in the bedrock of America. The pledge’s focus on collectively bowing down to the symbol of a flag and the national government it represents is disturbing. If you don’t agree, you might change your mind if you glance at photographs depicting early versions of the pledge. The Pledge of
CHRIS MITCHELL is a junior in accounting and marketing.
Allegiance was created by the Christian socialist Francis Bellamy in the late 1800s. Just like today, it was intended for schoolchildren. As if the fact that it targets the most impressionable segment of the population isn’t suspicious enough, early renditions of the oath also included a gesture in which students would reach their right arms up toward the flag, hand facing down. This is the Nazi salute. However, the pledge was eventually altered during World War II after the Nazis embraced the same gesture. The simple fact is the Pledge of Allegience mindlessly seeks obedience to an authoritative power. Mindless allegiance isn’t patriotism, but submission. In other words, reciting an oath does nothing for students’ civic awareness. Becoming a citizen isn’t about memorizing a pledge any more than it’s about wearing a USAthemed T-shirt or shrieking, “‘Merica.” The principle of liberty allows us to choose these things. We can recite the pledge or decide it doesn’t reflect our priorities. Above all, though, we should remember to think carefully before we pledge our allegiance to just anything. mitcchri@indiana.edu @AtlasMitchell

A SLICE OF SOMETHING REAL
THE FITZ FILES
Painted penis politics
Democrats have McGovern to thank for Sanders
Artist Illma Gore painted an infamous nude portrait of Donald Trump, the controversial Republican candidate a good majority of Americans love to hate. The painting is entitled “Make America Great Again” and became a viral success in February of this year after Gore published a photo of the painting on her Facebook page. “Make America Great Again” features a completely nude Trump in a stance that reveals less than impressive genitalia. The problem? After publishing the painting online, the LA based artist has had to flee the United States due to death threats and threats of violence from Trump supporters as well as being anonymously threatened with legal action if the painting is sold. While it’s not surprising Gore is being threatened with legal action over the similarity in likeness of Trump and the figure in her painting, Gore should not have to flee the U.S. in order to get away from over zealous Trump supporters. After all the terrible statements Trump has made about all groups of people except white men and all the insults thrown at Trump, it’s beyond ridiculous the insult Trump supporters take to heart is the insult to Trump’s manhood. Luckily, Gore has found refuge in the UK, where the London Maddox Gallery has agreed to show the painting. Galleries in the U.S. refused to show the painting due to threats of violence from Trump supporters. When asked about the response to “Make America Great Again,” Gore told The Guardian, “Who knew it would be such a big deal? I think an artist’s job is to take the times we’re living in and then set the scene. It’s a representation of where we are.” If the conversation about Donald Trump concerns the size of penis rather than the

feasibility and morality of his policies, then yes, I would have to sadly agree that “Make America Great Again” is a representation of where we are. Gore feels as though “Make America Great Again” prompted Republican candidate Marco Rubio’s comments about Trump’s small hands at a Virginia rally in February. Rubio is quoted in the Guardian as saying, “And you know what they say about men with small hands? You can’t trust them.” On March 3, Trump replied with the statement, saying Rubio “referred to my hands, if they are small, something else must be small. I guarantee you there is no problem. I guarantee.” Although the controversy surrounding the painting has caused Gore so much trepidation, the painting is valued at one million pounds. Overall, the controversy surrounding the artwork is nothing but absurd. Gore is an artist and is free to express herself through a representation of the current political climate in the U.S. While the legal threats about sale of the painting are anonymous, I’m sure there is little doubt as to who or what is behind this legal threat. As for the Trump supporters, they are so violent that they forced a woman out of her home and into another country because she was afraid for her life. Trump and his supporters may think the accusation of having a small penis is the worst thing that can be said about Trump, but it’s pretty clear that the worst aspect of Trump’s person is displayed through the actions of his violently loyal supporters. rcm2@indiana.edu @RachelCMiller1
WEEKLY WISDOM
Searching for intent President Obama, a man who swore on the Bible to faithfully execute the laws of this land, said, “There’s classified, and then there’s classified” in response to Hillary Clinton’s email scandal. The United States has reached a point where the letter of the law no longer means anything to the chief executive. Through his comments, Obama relies on the mystical theory of legislative intent. He admits Clinton technically broke the law, but didn’t violate the intent behind the law. The belief that Obama, FBI Director James Comey or anyone else can divine some vaporous intent out of the Byzantine process of contemporary Congressional lawmaking is absurd. Hundred-page laws — written years ago by armies of faceless staffers and aides, voted on by hundreds of Congressmen and Senators in separate sessions and put through rounds of reconciliation and interpreted through litigation — cannot be claimed to remain faithful to their drafter’s intent, if they even resemble it. The modern lawmaking process involves thousands of people with thousands of different ideas and opinions. Anyone who claims to be able to divine the intent out of this process should be met with skepticism, especially when their proclaimed ability supports the innocence of their political allies. Legislative intent has been a misguided philosophy since its conception. It started as a tool for courts to make the legislative process efficient and avoid uncomfortable outcomes from poorly-worded laws. At this point legislative intent is simply a politically expedient way of achieving policy and personal goals. Consider Obamacare: if Obama was a true believer in following the intent behind a bill, his actions towards his

crown jewel are illegal. Consider how the President has routinely delayed, rescheduled and ignored the deadlines written in the statutory language of Obamacare. It is hard to argue that Congress’ legislative intent was for employers to provide health insurance to their workers starting in 2015, because the bill Congress wrote says employers must provide this by 2014. The administration simply decided it was politically expedient to push this requirement back to 2015, Congress be damned. The Obama years are replete with this unilateral political opportunism despite the intent of Congress. It’s difficult to believe that after all of these years of penand-phone-ism Obama has seen the light and will from now on defer to Congress. One wonders if this distinction between “confidential, and confidential” would have occurred had Donald Trump or Ted Cruz threatened national security with their emails. Because of its ease of abuse and lack of objective criteria of examination, the theory of legislative intent should be cast aside. A literal interpretation of all laws is absolutely required if America is to remain a nation of laws. Uncomfortable consequences arising from a literal interpretation of laws is an argument for more clearly worded laws, not unilateral discretion on the part of the executive branch. Claiming to find original intent in a law that serves your political needs is simply too tempting for petty tyrants like Obama. zaochamb@indiana.edu
Democratic voters have one man to thank for making their voice heard in the selection of the party’s nominee: George McGovern. Many left-wing commentators have criticized the Democratic National Committee and its system of superdelegates for giving Hillary Clinton an unfair advantage in the selection process so far. But if it wasn’t for the work of McGovern, voters wouldn’t have had much say at all in who the Democratic nominee for president should be. Up until and including the 1968 nominating contests, Democratic party officials decided the nominee with little to no input from the public. However, according to the University of Vermont, the 1968 contest marked a shift in nominee selection. Vice President Hubert Humphrey was selected as the nominee, despite the fact he hadn’t campaigned in a single primary, mostly as the result of “party functionaries” who selected delegates at caucuses that sometimes took place
over a year before the Democratic convention took place. The resulting anger from Democrats disappointed in Humphrey — who eventually lost to Republican Richard Nixon in the general election — as the nominee convinced the party to create the McGovern-Fraser Commission. This Commission, according to the university, drastically expanded the role of primaries in the nomination process and created a proportional system of delegate allocation. In 1968, there were only 17 primaries for Democrats, and in 2000 there were 40. Overall, just 13 million people voted in the 1968 Democratic race, compared to about 30 million in 2000. McGovern, the man who co-wrote the Commission’s report, went on to run for President himself in 1972. But the election results from that year left Democrats divided over the direction of the party. During the nominating contest for the Democratic nomination that year,
McGovern campaigned on a strong platform of withdrawing completely from the Vietnam War. His rise, according to Britannica online, was through young grassroots supporters. He eventually toppled the original frontrunner for the nomination, Sen. Edmund Muskie, and won the nomination before losing in a huge landslide to Nixon. In the final vote tally, McGovern carried just Massachusetts and the District of Columbia. The rapid rise of Bernie Sanders in the Democratic contest has left some wondering whether he will be another McGovern for the party. In an op-ed for The Hill, Mark Plotkin, a former employee for Muskie, claimed Sanders resembled McGovern in that he spoke to general anxieties of the American voter, but that he would do badly in the general election due to his label as a socialist. The similarities between the candidates are striking. Both were perceived to be underdogs and relied on

young grassroots enthusiasm. Both relied on strong progressive platforms for their campaigns. According to the New Republic, McGovern’s campaign included messages about income inequality. But it’s important to remember without the McGovern-Fraser Commission, Sanders wouldn’t have had the success he enjoys now due to the Commission drastically expanding the Democratic nomination process. Without McGovern campaigning for President on progressive ideas such as economic inequality, it may not have been possible for a presidential candidate like Sanders to bring the same ideas back into the Democratic political system. ttfitzpa@indiana.edu @tfitzwrites
Jordan River Forum LETTER TO THE EDITOR I really need to know why Indiana legislators are so worried about who poops next to who. With everything else going on in our world, like perhaps the fact that Donald Trump may become president, I feel like who we poop beside does not need to be regulated. It is sad that I now feel very fortunate to have always been given the opportunity to use the restroom that I identify with, without any threat of facing charges for my choice. Senate Bill 35 makes it a Class A misdemeanor if a transgender individual uses the rest-
room of their choice, instead of the restroom designed to their gender at birth. A Class A misdemeanor is the highest non-felony charge in Indiana, punishable by up to one year in jail and a fine of up to $5,000 dollars. When you go to the bathroom, you go there to do one or two things and get out. After a conversation with classmates about this topic I began to get sick of hearing how bathrooms should be “comfortable.” Since when did people start going to public bathrooms for comfort? I know personally that I do not
feel “comfortable” in any public restrooms, however that’s fine with me because I do not go there seeking comfort or to take a nap, eat lunch, etc. I’ve also heard people defend SB 35 by discussing how dangerous it could for cisgender individuals and that allowing transgender individuals to use the restroom of their choice puts cisgender individuals in harms way. Unfortunately for the people that use this defense, there’s absolutely no evidence to support it. Luke Brinker and Carlos Maza from Media Matters conducted a survey of 15 law
enforcement officials, government employees and advocates for victims of sexual assault from 12 different states. These surveys they yielded absolutely NO incidents of transgender individuals harassing or assaulting cisgender individuals in public restrooms. With no evidence to show that transgender individuals pose any danger in the public or school restrooms of their choice, this bill is left with no grounds to stand on. Haley Hawkins Bloomington
LETTER TO THE EDITOR In recent history, we’ve seen the LGBT community make tremendous progress in their acquisition of rights. However, the last letter of that acronym is often forgotten — transgender individuals barely have civil rights. In the past year, I have come out as a transgender woman and found Bloomington to be a very welcoming community, unlike much
of Indiana. Many people are surprised to hear that it is legal to fire someone for being transgender in almost all of the state. Not only that, but transgender individuals aren’t even considered a protected class by the state so it is legal to discriminate against them. The only protection offered is by two counties and
four cities throughout the state: Monroe and Marion Counties — which include Bloomington and Indianapolis — and Evansville, West Lafayette, South Bend and New Albany. These localities have added their own protections for sexual orientation and gender identity. My hometown of Fort Wayne unfortunately did not make the list. My mother
has constantly urged me to move home after college, but I can’t justify living in a place where I’m not recognized as a person with the most basic civil rights. It seems hopeless to try and stay in this state, but in the meantime, I’m sorry, Mom, I’ve got to stay in Bloomington. Corey Dixon Bloomington
LETTER TO THE EDITOR I have spent the past three years at IU studying politics. During my time there I was able to meet, work with and campaign for Congressman Todd Young. At the moment, Young is seeking the nomination for United States Senate. Having gotten a chance to know him, I can say without a doubt that he is the right man for the position. Be it his history of service or his work in Congress, I believe that Todd Young is the leader we need now in
the Senate. It’s time to send in the Marine. Young grew up in Indiana. He worked for his dad’s small business mopping floors, attended the Naval Academy and served in the Marine Corps. There he trained in anti-terrorism, giving him an extensive understanding of the threats our country faces. All this shows he’s a proud Hoosier who’s served his country both in the field and in office. However, his service did
not end once he left the marines. He has served on the Ways and Means Committee crafting solutions to real problems for Americans. During his time in Congress, he authored a bill to delay the Obamacare mandates one year, introduced the REINS Act to reign in government regulations and has worked on legislation to reform student loans. At the same time, he has worked with local Republican groups in the 9th district to ex-
pand the base and build the party. He has also demanded a better strategy for dealing with terrorism. All of this shows that Todd Young is the right candidate to shrink the size and scope of government, defend the country and serve the great state of Indiana. I’m proud to support Todd Young on May 3. It’s time to send in the Marine. Brett Heinisch Bloomington
LETTER TO THE EDITOR A bright, ambitious student the other day asked what she could do with an econ major. To her, the path to a good career seemed more clear cut with a degree from a professional school. While there are clear and transparent trajectories from an accounting major, for example, to a career in
accounting, other majors provide a great basis for many rewarding career choices, as well. In fact, many majors that fall in the liberal arts tradition, especially the ones that stress rigorous analytical thought and quantitative reasoning, are excellent preparations for many diverse careers in a large
variety of fields. Recently a vice president for marketing of a major U.S. corporation told me they are not hiring for content knowledge — rather, they are hiring for analytical skills, for problem solving ability, for intellectual horsepower. I suspect most major employers will look for similar abilities. So
before you choose the seemingly straight path to a career through some professional training, you might consider a major in the College of Arts and Sciences. Perhaps something like economics is just the ticket for you. Gerhard Glomm Bloomington

Laura Myula “I feel very, very refreshed and renewed by listening to it,” sophomore Keenan Rhodes said. The song is energetic and calming at the same time, and he said it makes him feel like he could break out and dance at any second. Normally, Rhodes said he prefers to walk around campus without listening to music. He can pay closer attention to his surroundings that way, and he can hear birds and little snippets of conversations as people pass by. But there are times when music is very necessary, Rhodes said, like when he’s looking for a certain feeling, a certain experience besides what’s around him. He has a “Nighttime Stroll” playlist, which he said he listens to when the moon is bright. It features Pharoah Sanders, Erykah Badu and Roy Ayers. He said his favorite song on it is, ironically, Ayers’ “Everybody Loves the Sunshine.” Sometimes when he’s walking at night, he listens to the crickets and the small steps of bunnies on the pavement.
Drake Freshman Leon Thornton said if he’s not listening to music, his day is down. It could be 70 degrees and sunny, but he said without music, it would feel like 30 degrees and cloudy to him. “I see the world through music,” he said. Listening to music as he walks between classes has changed his outlook on school, he said. He has a better attitude going into class now. He won’t go to class if he loses his headphones, he said. Thornton said hip-hop is part of life in his hometown of Chicago, no matter your demographic.
Nisath Vaidya, a freshman, said he’s been getting into foreign rap recently. He likes hip-hop, he said, and even though he can’t understand what they’re saying all the time, it doesn’t make a difference. “You still get an idea of what they’re talking about,” Vaidya said. The emotion of the song comes through despite the language barrier. Listening to music makes time go by faster, Vaidya said. He usually puts his phone on shuffle as he walks. “I like unpredictability,” he said.

‘305 to My City’ Junior Derek Stuart listens to music every time he’s walking around campus, he said, but if he’s with someone he’ll take his headphones out. It drives him nuts when people leave one headphone in when they’re having a conversation, he said. He said he prefers music because it’s more interesting than what’s around him. And he hasn’t gotten hit by a car yet. “But sometimes, when I’m hiking, I don’t want to listen to anything.”
Senior Kayla Snider is listening to a 2000s country station on Pandora. “That’s embarrassing,” she said, looking down at her phone. Usually, Snider listens to alternative rock, but she said she was in the mood to experiment. She often listens to music while walking on campus, except late at night when she’s walking alone. It’s too dangerous, she said. Snider said listening to music in crowds helps her with her anxiety. On her way to class, she can block out some of the things around her and take comfort in her music.
Alex Nation, a junior, said he’s become dependent on music, and without it, he feels restless. He’s been immersed in music since he was a kid, when his parents would play it at home, he said. Now, he takes solace in listening to music on walks. Nation said he is always looking for something new, going further and further into a genre until he can’t really talk to anybody about what he’s listening to.

IU begins road swing Wednesday at Xavier By Zain Pyarali zpyarali@iu.edu | @ZainPyarali
Although the Hoosiers (2014, 6-3) couldn’t complete the series sweep against Iowa last weekend, their overall level of play has increased lately. Riding an eight-game win streak before losing the series finale to the Hawkeyes has the Hoosiers in contention for a Big Ten regular season championship. After a bleak beginning to the year, IU has gotten back on track to where they need to be. “We know that we can pitch the ball, and I think if you consistently pitch and defend you can win a lot of games just off that,” senior pitcher Kyle Hart said. “Our offense over this past win streak has come alive and that just makes it easier.” The Hoosiers will start a major road swing Wednesday when they head to Cincinnati to play Xavier in a nonconference battle. IU will then play one of the better teams in the conference on the road at Michigan State before playing in-state rival Notre Dame next week in Indianapolis. Xavier has struggled this season but has thrived on its home field, winning six of its last nine games at Hayden Field this year. The Musketeers are coming off a road matchup at Northern Kentucky on Tuesday. For IU to be successful, they must take advantage of inefficient Musketeer midweek pitching and the worn down arms playing on backto-back days. Junior right-hander Luke

Stephenson will earn his second consecutive mid-week start on Wednesday against the Musketeers. He allowed three earned runs over three innings of work in the victory last week over Ball State. With a 4.50 ERA it will be his fourth start of the season. “I consider Luke one of our hardest workers so we feel confident when he goes out,” IU pitching coach Kyle Bunn
said. “He’s put the time and effort in and at some point in time the game is going to reward him back for the effort he’s given us.” The Hoosier bullpen has produced young arms that have helped the team even the workload in the midweek games. Freshmen pitchers Pauly Milto and Jonathan Stiever have earned praise from the more experienced members
of the staff, saying they’re completely different pitchers compared to where they were in the fall. At the plate, the Hoosiers found a power surge over the course of their win streak, knocking out 11 of their 29 home runs of the season in those eight games.

As a group, the Hoosiers have earned quality pitching and hope that they can ride out the power streak that they’ve had at the dish. “We have a pretty important midweek game at Xavier to start off and then we go up against the No. 1 team in the Big Ten,” Dedelow said. “To win the series at least would really help us and get us on top of the Big Ten like we want to be.”

IU adds Egyptian transfer From IDS reports
IU boasts 191 total Olympic swimming and diving berths, representing 22 countries. On Monday, IU Coach Ray Looze announced the program is receiving another Olympic-hopeful athlete: middle distance freestyle transfer Marwan Elkamash. Elkamash will have one year of eligibility remaining after his transfer from the University of South Carolina. He was a three-time All American in the 800 freestyle relay.
In the SEC Championships, Elkamash finished in sixth place in the 200 freestyle. He brought home 11 individual wins this year and seven victories in the 500 freestyle. He also holds records for the fastest relay times in program history in the 400 freestyle relay, 800 freestyle relay and 400 medley relay. For NCAA competition, Elkamash placed 22nd in the 500 free, 35th in the 200 free and 42nd in the 100 free. Elkamash is ready to join
the Hoosier qualifiers in Rio this summer for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in the 200 meter and 400 meter freestyle. Elkamash will be representing Egypt. He holds the Egyptian record in the 200 freestyle with his time of 1:47.72 and his other qualifying time came from a 4:48.15 in the 400. Elkamash also swam at the FINA World Championships in Barcelona and Kazan in 2013 and 2015. Hailey Hernandez

Ball State (18-26, 4-11) has lost eight of its last nine games, while IU (23-19, 6-8) has lost six of eight. The Cardinals were swept on the road by Eastern Michigan this past weekend. IU also played in Michigan over the weekend, losing two of three games to Michigan State. IU hopes to get a boost from senior catcher Kelsey Dotson, who returned in the Michigan State series after missing about a month due to an injury. Dotson delivered in a big way in Sunday’s series finale with a two-run double in the fifth inning to give the Hoosiers a 2-1 win. “Obviously it was very tough that she went out, so having her back is very beneficial to us,” IU Coach Michelle Gardner said. “Because even though we struggled a little this weekend, she helped us find a way to get a win.” Dotson leads the Hoosiers in both slugging and on-base percentage, and is tied for fourth on the team with 16 RBIs despite missing 18 games. Gardner said her return gives the team
much better flexibility, both in defensive positioning and in the batting order. IU’s lineup struggled a bit over the weekend. They scored only nine runs in three games, but they still had solid contributions from the top of the order. Sophomore outfielder Rebecca Blitz went 5-for-11 in the series to raise her average to .370. Junior infielder Erin Lehman hit 6-for-11 to spike her batting average to .352, the highest it’s been since the first game of the season. The Hoosier pitching staff delivered a strong performance against Michigan State, allowing just seven earned runs in the series. Sophomore pitcher Emily Kirk capped off the weekend with a complete game victory in which she allowed no earned runs. Freshman pitchers Josie Wood and Tara Trainer each started a game in the series as well, with Kirk coming in to relieve both days. “Emily threw a great game, and Trainer and Josie did well this weekend too,” Dotson said. “We just haven’t been getting enough hits to back them up.” At different points this season, IU’s offense and pitching have looked dominant, but never at the same time for an extended pe-
“We did some really good things on Sunday. I thought we played relatively clean. Hopefully we can continue that into the week and win some games.” Michelle Gardner, IU Softball coach
riod. Gardner said the need to put together complete, all-around games is crucial at the end of the season. In the circle, Ball State is led by senior pitcher Nicole Steinbach. She has a 14-14 record with a 3.56 ERA and has started 26 of the team’s 44 games. Offensively, freshman catcher Madison Lee paces the Cardinals with a .349 batting average. As a team, Ball State has some pop, with 35 home runs this season. IU, by comparison, has just 16. The matchup against Ball State is the last midweek game on the schedule for IU and with just three Big Ten series remaining, every game is important for the Hoosiers. “We did some really good things on Sunday. I thought we played relatively clean,” Gardner said. “Hopefully we can continue that into the week and win some games.”

LIVING LA SEVILLA LOCA
'King Lear' play features original pronunciation
Spending time with family in Spain The time has come: something that was planned to happen two months before is now a reality. After a two-hour delay and a missed layover, the day has finally come. My mom is here in Spain with me. Once my class finished, I immediately left my building and headed straight to her hotel. We saw each other in the street nearby, and she came running up to me with open arms and tears streaming down her face. After almost four months, my mom needed her daughter, and I surely needed my mom. Once I was accepted into my study abroad program, my parents immediately started to plan a trip to visit me during the semester. A trip was soon finalized right before I left the states, and they were supposed to arrive in the middle of February, the only time my dad could afford to miss work. These plans took an unfortunate turn for the worse when my grandfather got unexpectedly sick right before my parents were supposed to leave and they were forced to skip their trip. In something close to a miracle, my grandfather’s health improved and my mom started looking into other times she would be able to visit me. Due to the strains of my dad’s work, however, there was no way he could visit anymore. I initially told my mom to not come after this madness.
From IDS reports

Alyson Malinger enjoys some evening tapas with her mother the first evening of her visit to Spain. Alyson hasn’t seen her mom in almost four months.
There was so much stress put on my family over this close call but nothing close to what my mother experienced. I didn’t realize in the moment how much she needed to come see me in person. Now I have five days to show off a place I now call home to the person that made me feel at home no matter what. We will explore the typical tourist sites such as the cathedral with Christopher Columbus’ tomb, the Alcázar and Plaza de España. My mom will have the opportunity to meet my Spanish mother here and share her gratitude of adopting me as her own this semester.
Horoscope Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is an 8 — Continue providing leadership. Postpone travel and romance until pressing matters get resolved. Practical action gets the desired result. Use reliable methods and ingredients. If stuck, read the manual. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Today is a 6 — The more you complete, the better you look. Money saved is money earned. Avoid chaos or confusion and take it easy. Disagreements and misunderstandings spark easily. Don’t stir things up.
IU associate professor Murray McGibbon will present a production of William Shakespeareʼs “King Lear,” featuring the original pronunciation of the play, beginning May 5. This will be the first “King Lear” performance with the original pronunciation since the 17th century, according to an IU Newsroom press release. “Itʼs a once-in-alifetime opportunity to hear the language as it was spoken when it was directed by Shakespeare,” McGibbon said in the release. “King Lear” is a tragedy about a monarch whose choices have devastating effects on those around him, including his family.
But what I am most excited for is to just be with her, showing how much this incredible semester has changed me into a better person. People keep asking me if I am ready to go back to the states, or if I just want to travel the rest of my life. Of course I usually say the second option, but really I would like to just live in Seville longer. This city is as much my home as the one in Aberdeen, New Jersey, at this point, and I can’t imagine leaving it in a few short weeks. I could not be more grateful to have the opportunity to show off my home to my mom this week, to show her
10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging. longer. A mess may be required. Don’t let it destroy your domestic tranquility. Strengthen support structures. Make careful preparations for changes at home.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 6 — Go ahead and take a first step. Try a new recreational activity before buying all that equipment. Pay off debts as quickly as you can. Self-discipline pays nice dividends.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is an 8 — Take action only when fully prepared. Communication is key. Motivate your team, especially stubborn holdouts. Listen to considerations. Make your point clear. Wait until everyone’s on board.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 7 — Wait and consider a while
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is an 8 — You’re gaining influence

how this place allowed me to learn more about myself than ever before. My host mother is excited to take a picture with me in the middle of my two “mothers” showing how grateful I am to have both of them in my life. Seville has introduced me to beauty I didn’t know existed, and I hope to expose this beauty to my mom over this week. afmaling@indiana.edu @aly_mali

Kindles, iPads and other electronic devices are also changing the brickand-mortar book industry, Starcs said. “Now, even more recently, we have electronic devices people download books onto,” Starcs said. “A lot of the classics are out of copyright so you can download them for free.” Starcs said he believes few people are still interested in printed books and their advantages, such as the ability to easily flip back and forth and underline the text. “It definitely is really kind of sad,” said Hannah Osborn, a Bloomington resident. “I know there’s been a huge shift in book buying. It went from small stores to big chains, but even the chains are dying now and it’s all online. Local businesses are suffering.” Additionally, not as many people are interested in browsing and looking at books before they purchase,
Starcs said. But James Lee, a Bloomington resident, said he disagrees with this. “Accessibility is important. I like being able to walk in and look at something before I buy it,” Lee said. “I guess I’ll be buying my books online now.” Young people, particularly young professors and graduate students, are drawn to electronic reading devices, Starcs said. These intellects are moving every few years and trying to get tenured and do not want to have a large book collection to move every time, so the electronic books offer a level of convenience, he said. Starcs said he hopes a young person with fresh capital and ideas for the business will purchase Caveat Emptor. His ideal situation is simply handing over the keys to the store with everything in it to the new owner, Starcs said. “It makes me sad,” Starcs said. “Nothing lasts forever.

He appeared in all 13 games as a freshman in 2015, with a record of five tackles and one for a loss. He has been practicing with the first-team defensive line during spring practice. This includes playing with the first team at Friday’s spring Cream and Crimson game.

The following year, he said he met with Jon Vickers, who was in the process of renovating and opening the IU Cinema. “He said, ‘Let’s try it and see how it works out,’ and it was really successful,” Vitti said. Since its second year in 2011, the symposium has been at the IU Cinema. Vitti said this gives speakers and filmmakers the opportunity to interact with each other. “It’s not just that you present and then you run away,” he said. “I’ve seen that in many conferences. We’re all here from eight o’clock in the morning until midnight every day.” Lisa Dolasinski, one of Vitti’s assistants and a speaker at this year’s

Film is a visual and auditory experience, and Dolasinski said she considers it to be better than literature. “Culture and cinema can’t be separated,” Dolasinski said. “There’s a story beyond what you see, too, and I think that’s very important.” Noticing an increase in audience attendance during the past years, Vitti said he is looking forward to this year’s symposium and future ones to come. “New trends, hearing what young people are doing, learning new things, meeting new people, watching new movies that I find very stimulating,” he said. “I cannot ask for anything better.” More scheduling information can be found at frit. indiana.edu
