Jewish community mourns By Alex Hardgrave ahardgra@iu.edu | @a_hardgrave
Senior Sydney Recht, an IU student from Pittsburgh, said her grandparents fled to Squirrel Hill, a Pittsburgh neighborhood, in 1937 to escape the Nazi party. Recht’s voice broke as she spoke at a memorial service about how Saturday’s shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue in Squirrel Hill affected her vibrant and tight-knit Jewish community. Students, administrators and members of the Jewish and Bloomington communities gathered for a memorial service Monday evening Oct. 29 at the Helene G. Simon Hillel Center, to remember the 11 people killed at Saturday’s shooting. “I ache for my greatgrandparents today and forever in that their place of escape has been turned into what is now being called the deadliest attack on the Jewish people in the United States,” Recht said. Rabbi Sue Silberberg said she was grateful to see so many people at the service but was sad they had to be there. “I think it’s a time to grieve together as a community to express our sorrow, our grief, our anger, our fear but then also to feel the strength of community,” Silberberg said. IU President Michael McRobbie offered his sympathies to those killed, the families, the police officers and the Jewish community as a whole. “It is also essential in the wake of such an incident to renounce it in no uncertain terms for what it truly is, an act of bigoted anti-Semitism, an act of violent extremism and plainly and simply a hate crime,” McRobbie said. He said that the rise of hate crimes is an ongoing national tragedy. “We cannot and we must not hide from our responsibility as a community to confront and condemn such acts of anti-Semitism and all forms of hatred whenever and wherever we find them,” he said. Student president of Hillel Brad Sadoff summed up

his feelings about the shooting in one word: appalled. “But even that falls short of conveying the extreme emotions I felt as the news broke,” he said. He encouraged students to fight against hate to shape a better future and said Hillel was here for anyone who needed it. Dean of students Dave O’Guinn said seeing all the people there together warmed his heart. Other speakers, including Rabbi Yehoshua Chin-
cholker, encouraged those in attendance to practice mitzvah in honor of those lost. Mitzvah is the Hebrew word for a good deed or a religious duty. Those in attendance were led in the traditional prayer of mourning called the Mourner’s Kaddish. Rabbi Ron Klotz, who led the prayer, pointed out that it is tradition to never say it with fewer than 10 people, showing that Jewish people never mourn alone. Through the event, the
IU Jewish a capella group Hooshir sang religious songs. To close, the members asked everyone in attendance to join in singing Shalom Rav, a song of peace. People joined in, the room lit by a few lights and 11 candles, each honoring one of the people killed.

An off-campus IU fraternity party called “A Nightmare in B-Town” left one man dead Sunday. Two other people were also shot, including one who remains in critical condition. “Something that was supposed to be fun turned deadly,” Monroe County Sheriff ’s Office Sgt. Steve Hale said. Gunfire rang out around 12:30 a.m. Sunday at the Eagle’s Nest, a popular venue for events at the Eagle Pointe Golf Resort near Lake Monroe. The party was put on by the IU chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi. Sheriff Brad Swain said police believe the shooter is from out of town, and there is no immediate danger to anyone in Bloomington. He said there were four unarmed security guards present at the party. Kemontie Johnson, 21, died at the scene. He was shot eight times. The Monroe County coroner confirmed a shot to the neck killed Johnson. He also suffered gunshot wounds to his back, left shoulder, left hand, right forearm, nose and legs. The Sheriff said the caliber of bullets found indicate the shooter used a semi-automatic handgun. Rayshawn Walker, 19, was shot in the head once during the altercation. He was flown to IU Health Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis, where Swain said he remained in critical condition Wednesday afternoon. David Walters, 20, was treated for a gunshot wound to his arm after the party but was released from Monroe Hospital in the same day. None of the three men shot were IU students, according to a University spokesperson. According to a GoFundMe page started by Kilroy’s on Kirkwood, Johnson worked at the bar. Kilroy’s donated $10,000 to his family for funeral costs. As of Wednesday night, the page had raised $13,924. The goal is to raise $20,000. If the page raises more than that, the rest of the money will go to helping to prevent gun violence in his honor, according to the page. Police said 300 to 400 people attended the party, and many were trampled as they ran from shots. “There are a lot of possible witnesses, but there’s
reluctance to come forward with information,” the sheriff said. Detective Mason Peach was on scene after the party cleared out and police tape went up. He said pieces of costumes lay strewn about the venue when he arrived. IU’s National Pan-Hellenic Council, which Kappa Alpha Psi is a member of, released a statement Sunday night saying the council is saddened by the weekend’s events. “At times like this, it is important that we stand together as one IU and progress forward,” the statement read. A Monday night vigil honoring Johnson drew a crowd of about 300 people. They lit candles, said prayers and remembered Johnson. They lined the rim of Showalter Fountain, packed its stairs and spilled out into the street.
“I know the power and the strength of the people standing here tonight. I know you will get through this.” Lauren Robel, IU Provost
One man hummed hymns to himself as he waited for the vigil to begin. “I sing the gospel when I’m nervous,” he said. Candles of all sizes were passed out. One woman began burning sage. A woman led the crowd in a rendition of “Amazing Grace”. Around 10 people took turns speaking about Johnson and what he meant to them. The IDS was asked not to publish those comments. Before the crowd dispersed, IU Provost Lauren Robel spoke. “I know the power and the strength of the people standing here tonight,” she said. “I know you will get through this.” The Provost’s office sent a message to students Monday offering resources to students who were present at the shooting. “My thoughts are with all of our students who witnessed or were present at this terrible event and with the families of the victims,” Robel said in the email. The message also encouraged those affected to contact IU Counseling and Psychological Services. CAPS services in response to the weekend’s violence are free, the Provost said.
Bloomington sees school shooting threats TY VINSON | IDS
By Peter Talbot pjtalbot@iu.edu | @petejtalbot
Two Bloomington students made unrelated threats against Bloomington High School North and Jackson Creek Middle School that alluded to school shootings happening Oct. 31. Both students were suspended. Bloomington Police Department officers were posted at Bloomington schools Wednesday morning in response to the threats. The students were still on suspension as of Wednesday morning, BPD Sgt. Dana Cole said. BPD was notified Sept. 26 when three North students reported suspicious
behavior to the school principal, Cole said. The girls said a 15-year-old student told them Bloomington High School North would experience its first school shooting Oct. 31. When his mother arrived at school that day, she said her son was a loner who is bullied at school, Cole said. The mother said she feels he is an easy target for other students and that this is a case of bullying. The student in question denied making the statements and told police he told the girls Oct. 31 was his favorite day of the year because people dress up for Halloween and scare people. The school told the stu-
dent’s mother that he needed to be seen for a mental health evaluation before being readmitted to school. He was still suspended as of Tuesday morning. Police were notified Oct. 30 by a student at Edgewood High School in Ellettsville, Indiana, that he heard from a student at North that the same student was making posts on social media alluding to a school shooting. Cole said the student has pointed at other students with finger guns in the past and said things that alluded to a shooting. Cole said what the student has been doing is disturbing, but isn’t criminal. Police were notified Tuesday night of a Jackson
Creek Middle School student who posted a Snapchat of what appeared to be a rifle with the caption “Getting it ready for tomorrow… wear blue.” Police were uncertain why the student said to wear blue. The student told the school’s principal that his Snapchat had been hacked. The principal placed the student on suspension and notified the police, Cole said. Cole said a detective went to speak with the student and his mother Wednesday morning, and the student admitted he posted the picture and said it was a photo of a friend’s pellet gun.

Senate candidates face off in final debate By Lydia Gerike lgerike@iu.edu | @lydiagerike
INDIANAPOLIS – Candidates for Indiana's open U.S. Senate seat debated birthright citizenship, foreign policy and climate change Tuesday night during one of their last appeals to voters before the Nov. 6 midterm election. Incumbent Democratic Sen. Joe Donnelly, Republican former state legislator Mike Braun and Libertarian candidate Lucy Brenton faced off at the Newfields arts center in Indianapolis during the final debate. The debate may be one of the deciding factors in a race that is still uncertain less than a week before Hoosier votes are counted. Donnelly talked about the legislation he has sponsored during his two Senate terms to help prove his records on bipartisanship and tangible change, but Braun said his Democratic opponent doesn’t know what is really going on in the state because of his time spent in Washington, D.C. “I’m fed up with business as usual in D.C.,” Braun said. Nearly all questions during the debate were submitted by Indiana residents. Some of the questions were asked by people in attendance at the event, while others were read by moderator Amna Nawaz of PBS NewsHour. Nawaz told Braun multiple times he needed to answer the question given to him after he failed to provide

specific, policy-based responses. During a question on climate change, Donnelly and Brenton put their support behind ethanol and hemp, respectively, as alternate sources of fuel. At first, Braun talked about his time as a tree farmer and said it was important to take care of the earth, but didn’t offer a specific solution. After Nawaz pointed this out to Braun, he eventually said the country needs to focus on finding the fuel that is the cleanest and least expensive. Braun also deflected during the discussion about U.S. foreign policy regarding Saudi
Arabia, which admitted involvement in the the death of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi. Trump has been criticized for continuing to work on an arms deal with the foreign power during its attempts to cover up and deny the incident. Braun said he supported the president’s efforts, but tried to pivot to the Iran Nuclear Deal and Donnelly’s support for it, despite the topic of the question. “I think this is an issue about leadership and if you’re happy with the old dynamic,” Braun said. Donnelly said he wanted to temporarily cut off the
arms deal because he believes the Saudi government helped kill Khashoggi, who was a graduate of Indiana State University. “He’s a Sycamore,” Donnelly said. “He lived in Virginia, and they murdered him.” The discussion also touched on birthright citizenship, which became an issue the morning of the debate after President Donald Trump told Axios on HBO he wanted to end the practice. Most legal scholars believe the 14th Amendment of the Constitution gives citizenship to any child born in the U.S., but Trump claimed in the interview he had the option to reverse the practice through
executive order. Donnelly said the issue should be handled by Congress, but it is important to make sure any legislation was constitutional before changing anything. Birthright citizenship is part of larger problem of poor immigration policy, Braun said. By bringing the issue to light, Trump is helping change the way politics and immigration are typically handled. “Finally, we’ve got a leader in the White House that is doing something about it,” Braun said. The race is currently leaning toward a Donnelly win, according to poll numbers
collected and analyzed by FiveThirtyEight as of Tuesday night. If he does secure a win, it may be a narrow one, given that Braun has polled in the lead for six of the last 10 polls gathered by FiveThirtyEight, including the four most recent. The site lists Brenton’s chance of winning as less than one percent. Brenton told reporters after the debate that the Democratic and Republican candidates need to appeal to voters instead of feeling entitled to votes because they are supported by a major political party. “I’m the first loser,” she said. “The second loser will know they lost because they missed the mark on what Hoosiers want.” At a post debate conference, Donnelly spoke about that morning’s fatal collision in Rochester, Indiana, where three children died after a pickup truck driver blew a school bus stop sign while the children tried to cross the street. Donnelly said the town was special to him because he used to represent Rochester when he served in the House of Representatives. “Our entire state loves you, has your back and will be with you every step of the way,” Donnelly said. Afterward, he called Braun an “errand boy” for the Republican senate leadership Braun did not attend the optional post-debate appearance.
City deals with new transit
Scientists get into politics

Before Pace bikes arrived in June, the City of Bloomington and IU spent months deliberating on a partnership. Zagster brought 150 bikes for its Pace dockless bike share in June. But in September, with little or no time to prepare, hundreds of scooters arrived without any protocol. “It’s an unprecedented situation,” city spokeswoman Yael Ksander said. Bloomington’s strong infrastructure for biking helped Pace start smoothly. Zagster, Bloomington and IU spent months deliberating on an agreement before the launch. Amanda Turnipseed, director of Parking Operations for IU, said the University has not had any issues with the Pace program. Since starting, Pace has acquired 2,905 members and has an average of .49 trips per bike per day. Bird deployed about 100 electric scooters in September and Lime dropped off 450 of its electric scooters later that month. The turmoil caused by the scooters reminded Ksander of the arrival of Uber and Lyft a few years ago. All the companies represent an unprecedented form of transportation with remote operations. “We have to be flexible,” Ksander said. Karl Alexander, market manager at Zagster, said
In the wake of the 2016 presidential election, scientists at IU began to worry. On the campaign trail, then-candidate Donald Trump promised to “cancel” the United States’ involvement in the Paris Climate Agreement and claimed climate change was a Chinese hoax. IU scientists organized an open meeting to discuss science under the new administration on Feb. 8, 2017. They were surprised when almost 200 people showed up. “Within a few weeks, Concerned Scientists at IU was born,” said Michael Hamburger, a geological sciences professor and a founder of the science advocacy group. Concerned Scientists is a group devoted to strengthening the role of data and research-based decision making in public policy. The group advocates for science in legislative processes, organizes community events to discuss science in policy making and educates IU and Bloomington community members. Scientists trusted politicians and decisions-makers to support science-based policy, regardless of political leaning, Hamburger said. Now powerful, rich sources have tried to marginalize the role of science, particularly in regard to climate, environmental and agricultural policies. “Scientists have been slow to push their way back to the

it’s too early to tell whether scooters have affected the program’s numbers. As temperatures drop, bike use is expected to decrease. But he said it’s no secret scooters have higher ridership than bikes. Lime has clocked more than 100,000 trips since its arrival, according to an email from Lime spokeswoman Lara Beck. Collaboration with local communities is a central component of Zagster’s business model. Alexander said the company will work with Lime and Bird over the next year to develop partnerships. “It takes a village to be able to implement new transit solutions in the community,” Alexander said. Bird deployed its scooters with no warning. Lime contacted the city about 10
days in advance. “This is a situation where technology is outpacing legislation,” Ksander said. Several city departments started working to form interim operating agreements with Bird and Lime about a week ago, Ksander said. The agreements would stay in effect until city council passes an ordinance. The draft agreements would make the scooter companies responsible for injuries and subject to fines for reckless scooter incidents. Because the scooters operate on city roads, the agreements would also include a compensation fee. “They’re taking advantage of our amenity, our common good, our right of way,” Ksander said. "That right of way requires a certain amount of expense."

table, to take part in these critical decisions,” Hamburger said. While Concerned Scientists at IU is not officially associated with the University, its student chapter, Concerned Student-Scientists at IU, is an official student organization. The student group was created to directly involve IU students in science advocacy and to create a strong sense of community among student members, said member and student Adrienne Keller. “I think that students are looking for that in a different way than maybe some of the community members or faculty would be,” Keller said. She said when she saw research on issues such as climate change and gun control being ignored in policy decisions, she felt she could not longer just sit in the lab. Paula Madetzke, a junior pursuing a degree in physics, said she joined Concerned Student-Scientists because she felt a moral and civic obli-

gation to advocate for science in the wake of the election. “Our democracies don’t work unless the people in them work to maintain their democracy,” she said. Medetzke said public support of science has been strong in the past, particularly during the Space Race in the 1960s. Now, she said scientists have become removed from those who don’t study science. She said scientists need to be better about reaching out to the public and demystifying science. Both Concerned Scientists and Concerned Student-Scientists welcome non-scientists as members. Keller said the groups need members who come from different backgrounds in order to effectively advocate for change and strengthen bonds between the groups. “By being interdisciplinary, we can sort of bridge those divides,” Keller said.

MEN’S BASKETBALL
Takeaways from first basketball radio show By Cameron Drummond cpdrummo@iu.edu | @cdrummond97
With the 2018-19 IU men’s basketball season about to officially begin Thursday with an exhibition against Southern Indiana, IU Coach Archie Miller found himself in a familiar spot Monday night. The second-year Hoosier coach sat in a chair next to IU radio announcer Don Fischer for the new season’s first episode of “Inside IU Basketball with Archie Miller.” Here are three notable moments from the hourlong show, which also featured an appearance by graduate forward Evan Fitzner. 1. IU played well in a closed-door scrimmage against Loyola-Chicago. It was known as a secret scrimmage, but word got out earlier this month that IU and Loyola University Chicago would play a scrimmage closed to the public Oct. 28 in Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. IU won the scrimmage 70-48. Senior forward Juwan Morgan scored 13 points and had 16 rebounds, while freshman guard Romeo Langford had 19 points and 10 rebounds. IU led 36-15 at halftime and finished the game with 47 rebounds to Loyola’s 27. Last season, the Ramblers were the surprise story of the NCAA Tournament, reaching the Final Four before losing to the Michigan Wolverines. “We got our money’s worth,” Miller said. “We had to guard an extremely skilled team that ran really good stuff and spaced the floor.” Miller said Loyola challenged IU’s on-ball defense, ball-screen coverages and IU’s general ability to play really hard. But, he said the Hoo-

siers were bigger and more athletic than the Ramblers, which allowed Miller’s team to get more rebounds. On offense, Miller said IU wasn’t “as fluid as we want to be,” and the team still has a long way to go in terms of chemistry. In particular, he used IU’s half-court offensive execution as an example of something IU must improve. Defensively, Miller said Loyola “did things we never saw before.” He was pleasantly surprised by the effort level from IU on defense. “We held a good offensive team to a really poor day,” Miller said.
2. Miller provided injury updates on De’Ron Davis, Devonte Green and Race Thompson. Depth has been a major talking point for the Hoosiers this offseason, and it looks like it will come into play at the start of the season. Both junior guard Devonte Green and redshirt freshman forward Race Thompson did not play in IU’s scrimmage against LoyolaChicago due to “some nagging injuries,” Miller said. Miller also said IU may have to go a little bit of time without Green and Thompson. Langford and sopho-
more guard Al Durham were expected to compliment Green and senior guard Zach McRoberts to start the season, but Green’s injury opens the door for freshman guard Rob Phinisee to get more immediate playing time. At the forward position, the recovery process is continuing for junior De’Ron Davis. A torn Achilles tendon ended his 2017-18 season in January, and Davis is still trying to get back to full speed for the upcoming season. Miller said Davis was given full clearance to practice without restrictions last week, and then he practiced several days in a row and in five-on-five drills.
Davis played about 10 minutes in Sunday’s scrimmage, but he didn’t play more than two minutes in a stretch, Miller said. As IU enters the bulk of its Big Ten Conference schedule after Christmas, Miller said Davis hopefully will be playing himself back into shape. 3. The way the Hoosiers practice is important to Miller. Between incoming freshmen and the addition of Fitzner as a graduate transfer, IU is adding six new players to its roster. With IU’s “first true film session” set to occur in the next few days, Miller said he
hopes IU’s new players will be able to see the good and the bad things so far. “If you ask me one thing about this team, what’s one hope?” Miller said. “I hope we’re a great practice team. I really hope that our team embraces the practice sessions.” Miller said there will be opportunities for players to jump into “impact moments” during the season — whether due to injuries or foul trouble for other Hoosiers. “They won’t be ready unless they do it,” Miller said. “To do it, they have to be really getting after it every single day with the ability to put pressure on each other.”
Men’s basketball to play Thursday By Ben Portnoy bmportno@iu.edu | @bportnoy15
For the first time this fall, IU Coach Archie Miller and company are welcoming an opposing team to Bloomington. Those lucky visitors are the University of Southern Indiana Screaming Eagles. Outside Hoosier Hysteria and a secret scrimmage victory against 2017 Final Four participants Loyola University Chicago last Sunday, this will be the first “competitive” contest for IU this season. “They were ready to go on Sunday when we scrimmaged,” Miller said. “Which sometimes in a closed scrimmage, you don’t get that intensity because there’s no people there. But I thought we did a pretty good job of just having a pretty good mindset.” Since 2004-2005, IU is 25-0 against non-Division I teams. That likely won’t change Thursday. But, Southern Indiana senior guard Alex Stein will pose a defensive test for IU’s backcourt. Named an honorable mention All-American by Division II bulletin in 2017, Stein has the size at 6-foot-3, 190 pounds and scoring prowess, with 17.5 points per game last season, to put IU’s smaller defenders on their heels. Sophomore forward Emmanuel Little and junior Kobe Caldwell are two other names to watch for the Screaming Eagles. Little is fresh off a season where he averaged 9.1 points and 6.9 rebounds per game, while Caldwell is a junior transfer from Utah who is immediately eligible. Southern Indiana will have issues rebounding, though. IU’s frontcourt of senior Juwan Morgan, freshman Race Thompson, graduate Evan Fitzner and sophomore Justin Smith should find themselves stronger than the smaller-bodied Screaming Eagles. As for the main attraction, it will be the first public, live

game action for freshman Romeo Langford. At 6-foot6 and 215 pounds, Langford is a physical specimen for a shooting guard. With athleticism and a scoring prowess, expect him to light up the scoreboard. In the scrimmage, Langford tallied 19 points, 10 rebounds and two assists. We should see more of the same Thursday. “He’s probably been as highly publicized, or at least
as watched and as hyped from a ninth or 10th grader as there probably has been a guy,” Miller said. “So I think just in terms of in his experience, he’s used to a lot of eyes on him. He’s used to media attention. He’s used to, so to speak, hype.” With as many as 14 players who could factor into the rotation, the USI matchup is a chance for Miller’s bunch to get some much-needed cohesion heading into a non-
conference schedule that does them no favors. IU should win comfortably, but this game is more about pieces. Following Thursday, we’ll have a legitimate idea of how Miller’s team will look in the early going of 2018. “For us, we always have that all-hands-on-deck mentality, and it doesn’t really matter,” Miller said. “We’ve got to work to get the job done.”
Several changes are occurring this season to the way IU students receive tickets to home men’s basketball games. In the past, tickets have been mailed to the residence hall or off-campus address where a student lives. Instead, for the 2018-19 season, the tickets will be delivered electronically. Last week, students with a season-ticket package received an email from the IU Ticket Office with details. The email said student tickets will be delivered via email to be used on mobile phones to enter Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. According to the email, students can expect game tickets to be delivered no later than 48 hours prior to the start of home games that are part of their ticket package. The email also included a link that directed students to a list of the 12 home games that are part of their ticket allotment, as well as their seating assignment for each game. The email said that due to student ticket purchasing demand, each student was allocated a 12-game student ticket package instead of the 16-game package student tickets were initially sold as. The 12-game package is a
$240 value compared to the $320 value of the 16-game package, and refunds for the difference will be issued within the next two weeks to students via their original method of payment, such as credit card or bursar account. Additionally, IU Athletics announced Monday a new seat upgrade program at men’s basketball games for students. The Crimson Guard Seat Upgrade features a section of 200 court-level, bleacher seats behind the south basket at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall that will be reserved for general admission student ticket owners for each home game. According to the announcement, at noon two days before each home game, students with general admission tickets will receive an email with an offer to upgrade to the section. The first 200 students to complete the free upgrade process will be notified that they have been upgraded. Students selected to sit in this section will be required to arrive at least one hour before the start of the game to keep their seat and will also receive a free giveaway or free concession when arriving. The first game featuring the upgrade process will be Thursday night’s exhibition against Southern Indiana.

Hoosiers finish in fourth place at Steelwood Collegiate By Declan McLaughlin dsmclaug@iu.edu- @DickyMclaughlin
The Hoosiers placed fourth in Loxley, Alabama, on Sunday at the Steelwood Collegiate Invitational as junior Brock Ochsenreiter posted his best career round in the team’s final competition of the year. The team finished behind No. 7 Wake Forest, Mississippi State and Kennesaw State. The Hoosiers posted a team score of 869, just three strokes away from the third place Owls and nine away from the second place Bulldogs. “Some really bright moments,” Coach Mike Mayer said. “Then, some moments we need to work on and get better.” The team got off to a slow start at this competition. Only one player on the team shot under-par at the par-72 course. “We put ourselves a little bit behind,” Mayer said. That was then remedied by a second-round, eightunder-par 64 by Ochsenreiter, two strokes better than his previous best at 66. Ochsenreiter hit nine birdies and one bogey that round. He led the tournament in birdies with 15, two more than the next best golfer. According to Mayer, Ochsenreiter’s hot putting was a key part of his career day. “The young man has no fear,” Mayer said. “That’s what

it takes to shoot a number like that.” With that round, Ochsenreiter shot up to the top spot at the competition, but he
ultimately finished second after reaching par in the third round to finish two shots behind the winner. The underclassmen of the
team bounced back as well, with freshman Harry Reynolds and sophomore Ethan Shepherd both getting under par in the second round.
Shepherd turned in a score of 71 while Reynolds turned in a 70. They both dropped out of the top 25 by the third round, as Reynolds tied for 49th and
Shepherd tied for 27th. Reynolds dropped 31 places in the final round after shooting 10 over-par. “Harry Reynolds is still a freshman, and he played like a freshman today,” Mayer said. The Hoosiers’ next best placement was senior Jake Brown. Brown wasn’t a part of the second round bounce back. He shot one under-par his first round and then hit two bogeys on his way to a four over-par second round. He rounded out the tournament with another one-under par showing, getting him in the top 25 at tied-for-22nd. Lastly, junior Even Gaesser finished above Reynolds at tied-for-47th. Gaesser posted a two-under, fiver-under and a three-under par score at each round respectively. This event was the last tournament for the Hoosiers in 2018. The team will pick up its clubs again next year on Feb. 8. Mayer said the team has had an all right fall showing, but the ultimate goal of postseason golf isn’t secured yet. “We know what we have to do in the spring,” Mayer said. “We have to come out in the spring and play really solid golf, no more slip ups, no more mistakes, can’t afford to have any more bad finishes, but we’ve definitely put ourselves in a position to have something good happen to us.”
CAM’S CORNER
Memorial Stadium renovations don’t guarantee success for IU football Cameron Drummond is a junior in journalism.
Construction crews descended on Memorial Stadium last year with a simple task — to build a lavish new toy for IU’s athletics department. The stadium’s south end zone was enclosed with the building of the Excellence Academy, a $53 million project featuring an academic and medical facility for IU studentathletes, which is also used by IU to generate revenue during football games as a place any patron with a ticket can watch the game from. “It’s important that Indiana University has a football program worthy of our brand of being excellent,” IU Athletic Director Fred Glass said earlier this year. “More importantly, to have a football program worthy of having the respect of Indiana University and our fans.” But, one question remains with the facility now in use — was this a good investment by IU in its football program? Within the context of the stratified landscape of college football, IU is firmly in the
middle tier of Football Bowl Subdivision programs. Taking a look around the country at similar programs to IU, the answer of whether the stadium renovations were a good investment isn’t clear-cut. Over the last 10 years, seemingly every FBS program has upgraded its stadium. I researched which college football teams which have been members of the FBS for the last 10 years, and from 2008 to 2018, 52 of these schools, including IU, implemented a renovation project of more than $10 million on an on-campus football stadium built before 2008. Not all football programs or stadium upgrades can be analyzed the same, though. The S&P+ rankings are a defining statistic to compare teams in a sport like college football, where no two schedules are equal. The rankings use five factors from a team, such as how efficiently it scores points and how consistently its defense stops opponents, to rank all 130 FBS programs against one another regardless of record. The University of Mary-
land began a $50.8 million renovation project at Maryland Stadium in 2007 and also spent $200 million to convert an old basketball gym into the football team’s new indoor practice facility. These projects occurred as Maryland changed conference affiliations. Maryland averaged an S&P+ ranking of 75.2 during the last 10 seasons after the renovation began, winning just two bowl games. Furthermore, after the stadium renovation project, the Maryland athletic department has operated at a deficit after the cost to maintain facilities more than doubled from 2010 to 2015. Vanderbilt University spent $50 million on four different projects from 2008 to 2011 to give Vanderbilt Stadium a facelift, but the Commodores only have an average S&P+ ranking of 77 from the 2012 season to now to show for it. Rutgers University, the laughingstock of the Big Ten, owns an S&P+ ranking of 80.8 during the last decade and had to borrow $102 million in

bonds and low-interest commercial paper to expand the seating capacity to 52,454 at HighPoint.com Stadium in 2009. During the 2017 season, Rutgers averaged fewer than 40,000 people per game. Given this information, it’s impossible to say the money invested in stadium upgrades
results in more wins. IU is making a respectable effort to try, but facility improvements can only do so much for the team’s fortunes on the field. The quality of the fan experience at Memorial Stadium will increase thanks to the new south end zone complex,
but that’s all that can be guaranteed by the new stadium renovations. The wins haven’t followed for Maryland, Rutgers or Vanderbilt, and it remains to be seen if they will for IU. @cdrummond97 cpdrummo@iu.edu

Greenhouse used for research and education By Joey Bowling jobowl@iu.edu | @jwbowling08
The air is humid with thick leaves swaying in the air. Green hues reflect off of the flora. Welcome to the Jordan Hall greenhouse. The greenhouse has served as an education center and a research laboratory for decades. Now, it tries to focus more on community outreach and interactive involvement. The research side is focusing on immune systems in plants and reducing plant interactions with pesticides. Greenhouse assistant Tom Pirtle said the greenhouse
looks to acquire endangered, rare and unusual plants as part of a conservation effort. The ground-level greenhouse is used for community outreach and visiting classes. The rooftop greenhouses are used for research. There is a lot of push against removing plants from the wild, but Pirtle said when it’s either removal or extinction, the options are limited. Pirtle said there are numerous species in the Jordan Hall greenhouse that are extinct in the wild. The Venus flytraps currently housed in the greenhouse are nearly extinct in the wild. The orchid Paphiopedilum, character-
ized by multiple flowers ranging from scarlet to yellow and sometimes called the Venus slipper, is extinct in the wild, Pirtle said. Pirtle said he hopes the greenhouse will be more interactive soon. He wants to add codes to the plant tags. The tags will allow visitors to come to the greenhouse, scan the code and learn information about the plants. A lot of his work within the greenhouse is behind the scenes. He mostly works inside the research greenhouses maintaining the plant collection there. When he comes down to the bottom greenhouse, he helps repot
plants and sweep the floors, Pirtle said. Roger Innes, IU biology professor, said the largest science research project that uses the greenhouses looks at how new plant species evolve and adapt to a changing environment. The research done inside the greenhouse would have been called botany in a different time. However, botany is a more outdated or traditional term and has been replaced by the term plant sciences, Innes said. He said he thought the change came mostly due to marketing reasons. “Botany started to, in the
general public’s mind, refer to people who liked looking at flowers,” Innes said. “Plant scientists are more interested in how plants work at a molecular and cellular level.” Innes said his research mostly focuses on the immune system of plants and the long-term goal of developing crop plants that have a heartier immune system. “Right now, our entire food supply is heavily dependent on growing crops using large amounts of pesticide,” Innes said. “It would actually be really hard to currently feed the world’s population if we weren’t using all these pesticides.”
There is a tradeoff, Innes said. The pesticides lower insect diversity, pollute waterways and make humans come into contact with more toxins. “Most plant research is ultimately aimed at trying to improve agriculture in a way that reduces its impact on the environment,” Innes said. Pirtle said you don’t have to be a researcher to enjoy the greenhouse. He said he hopes people will walk through the greenhouse and absorb as much information as possible. “We just want people to come through and enjoy the plants,” Pirtle said.

Volleyball’s freshman class excels on court By Stefan Krajisnik stefkraj@iu.edu | @skrajisnik3
Freshmen Breana Edwards, Lexi Johnson and Abigail Westenhofer have already proven to be key pieces in IU volleyball’s turnaround. They consider themselves to be normal freshmen as they get more comfortable with campus, deal with the struggles of classes and learn to live away from home. “It’s mentally draining,” Johnson said. “On top of adjusting to the new coaching staff and college volleyball, we still are college students which is really hard.” Starting for IU on a regular basis, they have helped the team go from 1-19 in the Big Ten last year to a 6-7 conference record now. “This is going to be a consistent thing with our freshman classes coming in and having an impact on the program,” Edwards said. “It’s fun to be the first class.” Edwards and Johnson both committed to IU before Coach Steve Aird was hired. When he was brought in, both of them met with him and knew that they would stick around to play for the new staff. Aird followed that up by bringing in Westenhofer after she was on the 2017 Under Armour AllAmerican Second Team. “Coaching-wise, they care, but as people off the court, they care about us,” Johnson said. “Something I really like about them is how competitive they are, because all three of us are pretty competitive and want to win just as much as they do.” The high school success the trio brought was quickly transferred to collegiate play as the team has dealt with injuries that have forced the freshmen to get more playing time than most newcomers in the conference. It took time to adjust to the collegiate level, but they said they feel more comfortable now.
Lexi Johnson
“The speed of the game is so much different in college,” Johnson said. “The adjustment was so different, but the team helped us so much with that transition over and make it way smoother and easier for us.” However, the development process came with and will continue to contain obstacles. “Coach takes into consideration that we are freshmen, and we make freshman mistakes,” Westenhofer said. “No one is perfect. He understands that and works with us a lot better than other programs do with their freshmen.”
“This is going to be a consistent thing with our freshman classes coming in and having an impact on the program. It’s fun to be the first class.” Breana Edwards, IU freshman
Westenhofer has split much of her playing time with junior setter Victoria Brisack. Despite less playing time than she would get as the lone setter, she has learned a lot from Brisack and appreciates the guidance. “Tori is very supportive,” Westenhofer said. “She is very specific in telling me advice or what she knows and sees.” For Edwards, a lot of advice has come from junior outside hitter Kendall Beerman — who is out for the remainder of the regular season with a torn ACL — and assistant coach Krista Vansant. Vansant was the 2013 National Player of the Year while playing at University of Washington and was brought in by Aird. “It’s good to hear from a National Player of the Year that she went through the same stuff,” Edwards said. “It’s always good to be reminded that everyone goes through hard times and bad
games.” Along with the coaches and players they spend nearly every day with, the trio continues to get help from back home. Westenhofer and Edwards both have parents that have played collegiate volleyball, while Johnson has a sister that plays at Oregon. Westenhofer’s mom played volleyball at Western Kentucky, and has been able to give her advice in ways that most parents cannot. “It can be a curse at sometimes, but it’s a blessing in disguise,” Westenhofer said. “After games she’s not like normal, clueless moms that are like ‘good job, way to spike.’” The most successful athlete of that group of parents is Randy Johnson, who was inducted into the MLB Hall of Fame in 2015. “Since he comes from such a high level of athletics, it’s nice to talk to him after having a bad game,” Lexi Johnson said. “He’s such a supportive dad, so I feel like I can always go to him.” All of this advice and guidance will now be put to use even more as IU finds itself in postseason contention for the first time in years. However, with such successful high school careers, the freshmen feel prepared to play in important matches, even if the competition level is significantly higher. “For me, it’s all I’ve known,” Westenhofer said. “My high school and club was really competitive. It’s obviously different because it’s bigger and better, but I’ve never came from a team that lost a lot, so it’s second nature.” But at the end of the day, they said they will remember that it is about much more than volleyball — which is something they have taken from Aird. “Volleyball, obviously, is up there in priorities, but in the bigger picture it’s about you and growing as a person,” Westenhofer said. “If you’re not in the right state of mind, you shouldn’t be doing this on top of it. He cares about you as a person growing.”

‘Spamalot’ finds its holy grail By Robert Mack rsmack@iu.edu
Based on the classic comedy film, “Monty Python and the Holy Grail,” “Monty Python's Spamalot” was performed at 8 p.m. Oct. 30 and 31 in the IU Auditorium. In the musical, King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table set out on a quest to find the mythical “holy grail.” Monty Python, a British sketch comedy troupe, is known for its television show “Monty Python’s Flying Circus,” and its feature films “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” and “Monty Python’s Life of Brian.” When “Spamalot” first appeared on Broadway in 2005, it won the 2005 Tony Award for Best Musical. The original production, which ran for 1,575 performances, featured Tim Curry as King Arthur and original Monty Python cast member John Cleese as the Voice of God.

What’s the best way to read all of “Paradise Lost” or “The Brothers Karamazov?” Listen to the audio book? Read an abridged version? Tim Federle’s “Tequila Mockingbird: Cocktails with a Literary Twist” contains an interesting solution — cocktails. The 2013 release is the first in a line of literary and film-inspired cocktail recipe books. Each drink is titled after the name of a literary work, such as “Brave New Swirled” and “A Midsummer Night’s Beam,” and each comes with a recipe. A relief is that many of drinks don’t call for intense, highly specific ingredients. Though “Drankenstein” required melon liqueur, this is unusual and most cocktails draw from a common collection of liquor, beer and wines college students would be familiar with. Smaller ingredients, such as mint, club soda or frozen lemonade, are easy to grab on your next grocery run or excluded altogether if one is feeling too lazy to follow the recipe to the letter. Grab a book, mix a drink and cozy up by the fireplace. Here is a sample of Federle’s recipes to help get you through the majority of “Moby Dick” that has nothing to do with narrative.

RPS dining services have room for improvement

Paralyzed under the fluorescent lights of Wright Food Court, tray in hands, Crimson Card at the ready, skeptically scanning my options, price is the least of my concerns. I do not bother to stop and turn items over to see how much they cost. After cluttering my tray with options, I make my way to the register to pay, unaware of exactly how much I’m about to spend, because frankly, I couldn’t figure it out beforehand if I tried. I have to stand there and watch them ring up a lunch that is all marked up to be marked down and converted to I-Bucks, despite the fact I view the total in what I understand to be real bucks. It’s because RPS wants me to be standing there, feeling exactly how I’m feeling: clueless and confused enough to blaze through a meal plan my parents are paying for without questioning it. A far superior system is staring us in the face, seen at Purdue University, Ball State University and countless other universities. Meal swipes. They allow students to swipe their card once for a meal and walk away with as much food as they want as long as they don’t leave the dining hall with the food. Meal swipes are a less exploitative approach, and they ensure that students won’t skip meals to save points or ignore spending and hope for the best.
One thing I have noticed living in the Southeast neighborhood of campus is the lack of vegetarian or vegan options at the dining halls. I can order a sandwich without meat on it, but ultimately the only option for vegetarians or vegans is a pile of vegetables and maybe some bread. Forest’s dining hall, for example, is praised by many as the best on campus, however, each concept in Woodland Restaurants only has one or two vegetarian options. Vegans who eat in the dining halls run out of new things to eat very quickly. And, with the blandness of much of IU’s vegetarian options, this gets frustrating very quickly. When it comes down to it, IU needs to do better than supplying unseasoned vegetables or a veggie burger. Vegetarian and vegan proteins are sorely needed. This means seitan, tempeh or even tofu that’s actually seasoned. A great example of what IU’s vegetarian options could be is The Traveler in Goodbody Eatery. About once a week it provides an all-vegan menu that often includes vegan protein and isn’t just vegetables and rice. Vegetarian and vegan students shouldn’t have only one day a week where they can eat good food that is actually filling, so if IU applies the concepts at The Traveler to its other eateries, the options would be infinitely better.
Personally, I am not a very picky eater. I can eat just about whenever, wherever and whatever. To me, food is just one of those little things that reminds you that life is worth living. Furthermore, I am irresponsible enough to not really recognize every time I am being ripped off because of the price of the food I am buying. What I can’t stand, however, is waiting for my food. And it’s not because I am some irritable food mongler, but rather because I am just a college student. I don’t have a lot to time to wait in line when I have only one hour in between my classes to finish my readings, run across campus and eat a quick meal to make my grandmother stop nagging me. My biggest problem with dining on campus is that the vast majority of RPS employees are students, and these students work in different locations across a dining hall each day, rendering it quite impossible to adequately train them. One day I will see that cute girl making my bean bowl at Caliente in Forest, then the next I see her making my coffee at The Round. Both times she takes much longer than she logically should just because RPS keeps moving her around to where she is needed, but ultimately it just results in a poorly trained staff and me being late to French class.
The food in IU dining halls is overpriced. Sandwiches, burgers and burritos tend to be upward of $8. A single slice of cheese pizza is at least $4, and one with toppings is above $5. Once you add in a side and maybe something to drink, you’ll find that it’s hard to get a full, balanced meal for under $10. But wait a minute, what about the deep discounts students get through RPS meal plans? Those so-called “discounts” are completely bogus when you get the “I-Bucks 60 Standard” plan. Students get $1,400 in meal points with a 60 percent discount off posted prices. The price of the plan is $3,500, with $2,100 going to “operational costs.” $2,100 just so happens to be 60 percent of $3,500. In other words, students are paying the exact posted prices, dollar-for-dollar. Flex Bucks work in a similar way. There is a slight discount, but it’s mostly offset by the mysterious “operational costs.” Students can get some genuine discounts with the larger, expensive plans, but all of the discounts are deceptive. The University is taking advantage of the fact that many students are spending their parents’ money, so they’re willing to pay high prices. This doesn’t turn out well for those of us who have to spend our own money.
As someone who has had the misfortune of navigating food allergies in college, I can honestly say that RPS does nothing to ease the stress of finding food that I can eat. Almost every RPS restaurant is crawling with cross-contamination, and even if they have allergen-free options available, they’re excruciatingly limited. Even if the employees go so far as to ask if it is a dietary choice or allergy, they disregard the answer. My gluten sensitivity is high enough that if I eat something that is prepared on the same surfaces as foods with gluten are, my body notices. After looking an RPS employee dead in the eyes and telling them that I need them to use the glutenfree toaster they provide, I watched them toast my gluten-free bread in the same toaster oven, on the same tray, as somebody’s sandwich with regular, gluten-filled bread. I’ve worked in food service before and I know that the work can be draining, overwhelming and especially not well-paid, but if the university can’t make allergen-free options readily available everywhere, they should at least train the staff at their one restaurant to understand severity of food allergies. We pay so much money in tuition, even more so in meal points and living arrangements, the least IU could do is make it possible to eat for everyone.
MATT-ER OF FACT
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Enjoy random performances across campus
Reader suggests Intramural Center be named for Garrett
Matthew Waterman is a senior in jazz studies and theater.
I recently did something surprisingly rare among students of the Jacobs School of Music. I went to a stranger’s recital. I happened to have a free evening. I had homework to get done, but nothing that would take me all night. So I went to the event calendar of the Jacobs School, found the recital of a random master’s student in composition and went. I had a great time. The music was surprising and inventive, and the talented performers handled it very skillfully. I ended up feeling regretful over the fact that I had never once done that before. I had been to plenty of recitals, but only ones by my
friends and classmates. The Jacobs School offers many concerts and fullystaged operas. The vast majority of performances, including virtually all recitals, are free. For ones that do cost money, there are usually reasonable prices for student tickets. This means that on just about any day throughout the entire year, you can just go on the Jacobs School website and find a free concert to attend. The Jacobs School is a high-quality institution, so odds are that the music will be played thoughtfully and masterfully. It’s true that most of these performances are of classical music, and maybe that isn’t your taste. But it’s not all classical. Try going to a jazz per-
formance; you might be surprised by what you hear. Check out Afro-Cuban Ensemble, Soul Revue, the Singing Hoosiers or AfricanAmerican Choral Ensemble. It doesn’t end at the Jacobs School. Music may be the most common type of performance at IU, but it’s only one of many types. The Department of Theatre, Drama and Contemporary Dance has a mainstage season that includes two musicals, two dance concerts and at least six plays during each academic year, plus two more musicals and two more plays every summer. On top of that, students of the theater department stage independent productions in the theater building throughout the year. These are always free, and you can find out when
they’re happening by visiting the theater building and looking at what’s being advertised on the cork boards. Plenty of performances aren’t even associated with any academic department. There are six comedy groups at IU that frequently present free performances of improv and sketch comedy. Going to performances isn’t just about supporting your friends. It shouldn’t be an obligation. It’s something most IU students rarely do, if ever, even if they find it rewarding. Next time you have a free evening or weekend afternoon, or any opportunity to take a break from schooland work-related responsibilities, go to a random performance. I doubt you’ll regret it. matwater@iu.edu
ASKING ALVARO
The Parker Solar Probe is a big deal for scientists Alvaro Michael is a senior in computer science.
You may remember that NASA launched their new Parker Solar Probe back in August to “touch the sun.” If you were lucky or smart enough to be in the know about this launch, you might have submitted your name in March or April, along with 1.1 million others, to have it added to a memory card aboard the probe so that you too can touch the sun. Unfortunately, I was neither lucky nor smart, so my name remains here on the rocky planet. As it speeds through deep space, it has just broken the record for the closest spacecraft to the sun. In November, it will begin collecting data as it makes its first fly-by. This probe is a really big deal. There are two big questions that the Parker Solar Probe will help scientists answer. One is the so-called coronal heating problem. Oddly enough, the sun’s corona, its outermost layer, is actually millions of times hotter than the sur-
face, which seems like a contradiction. After all, if you moved farther and farther away from a campfire, you wouldn’t expect to get warmer. Why this phenomenon occurs is still unknown, although there are at least two theories that have risen to the top among scientists. One possibility is that the energy comes from waves generated by the sun’s plasma. Another is that the heat could be a result of electric currents induced by the sun’s magnetic field. Right now, it’s hard to say. The Parker Solar Probe will provide newer, more detailed numbers on the sun’s magnetic and electric fields, as well as its composition, that will allow scientists either to confirm one of the current theories or to develop new ones. The other big question has to do with solar wind, which refers to the charged particles constantly emanating from the sun and which fills the Solar System. Considering the fact that these high energy particles can cause great damage to the satellites orbiting Earth, it is essential for us to un-
derstand their cause. Additionally, if we want to send manned missions to other planets, we need to know how to protect astronauts during their journey. An improved knowledge of solar wind will probably help us predict the onset of a solar storm, giving us time to prepare in order to minimize harm and damage to our equipment and ourselves. In order to do its job properly, the probe will make use of Venus’s gravity to bend its course towards the sun. Having just recently passed Venus, the probe is set to pass through the sun’s corona for the first time and offer a glimpse of this star like we have never seen before. What is interesting about the mission is the fact that the scientists originally thought that it could only be successful by passing Jupiter — this would have permitted only two solar passes. However, by redesigning the mission to involve several assists by Venus instead of a single assist by Jupiter, NASA’s scientists will achieve 24 solar passes,
which means much more data. The Parker Solar Probe, at its closest, will be just 3.8 million miles from the sun’s surface. Mercury never gets closer than 28.5 million miles. This means that the probe will experience insane radiation, protecting itself with a large, thick heat shield that will keep the instruments in its shadow. Because the probe will have to make adjustments on the fly, it cannot always depend on instructions sent from Earth — instead, it uses sensors to determine where it is in relation to the sun and adjusts automatically. Once it is oriented properly, the instruments will function seamlessly, picking up particles and detecting the sun’s magnetic and electric fields. We have no idea what new things we’re going to learn from this mission, which is what makes it all the more exciting. Lots of cool data will be coming in soon, so be on the lookout for any new reports. It’s going to be big, and it’s going to be beautiful. alvmicha@iu.edu
In his letter of Oct. 22 “Rename the Intramural Center after Taliaferro,” Andrew Shaffer suggests the Intramural Center be renamed to honor George Taliaferro. We disagree. George Taliaferro figures prominently in our book “Getting Open” for he was a star athlete, a leader among black IU students in the 1940’s and a mentor to Bill Garrett. He was a constant source of encouragement and information during the seven years we researched and wrote the book, published in 2006. No one knew the segregation of the IU campus and Ora Wildermuth’s role in it better than George Taliaferro. He had lived it. George Taliaferro also was an enormously admirable man: a trailblazer and star in the NFL, a social worker, a popular IU instructor, an advisor to IU presidents and a mentor of students. But the Intramural Center should not be renamed for him. It should be renamed for Bill Garrett. Here is why. The Intramural Center is the “old fieldhouse.” It is where from 1948 to 1951
Bill Garrett set IU scoring and rebounding records, became an All-American and much more. He broke the agreement that had barred blacks from Big Ten basketball and — as the only black player in the Big Ten during his IU career — he set such an strong example that there were seven AfricanAmerican players on five Big Ten basketball teams the year after he graduated. The respect and popularity he held among IU students and fans helped accelerate integration of the campus during his IU years. Great as he was, George Taliaferro does not have this historical connection with the fieldhouse. He deserves to be honored on his own: the football playing field? the IU School of Social Work? Something like that would keep clear link between the persons, the histories and the honors. Surely, IU can honor both Garrett and Taliaferro without having to decide between them and without “stacking” their names together out of convenience.

Ron Osgood, IU professor emeritus and documentarian completed his documentary in August 2017 telling stories from those involved in the Vietnam War. Now, over a year later, he is touring the country and screening his film for hundreds of people. “Just Like Me: Vietnam War Stories from All Sides,” a 2018 Emmy award-winning documentary, tells the stories of veterans, civilians and refugees from both sides of the Vietnam War. The inspiration for the documentary came from another documentary about the Vietnam War that Osgood produced, “My Vietnam, Your Iraq,” which featured interviews of families who had relatives involved in both Vietnam and Iraq wars. While interviewing American veteran Arthur Barham for the documentary, he told a story about finding letters in the possession of a dead enemy soldier. When his platoon translated the letters, they found that there was one written by the soldier himself. When Barham read the letter, he found that the dead combatant was talking about things he and his fellow American soldiers also wrote in their letters. Reflecting back, Barham told Osgood he realized the enemy was just like him. They were both just trying to get home. In the following years, Osgood would go on to conduct more than 150 interviews with veterans of both sides and civilians who were affected by the Vietnam War. He wanted to create a documentary that humanized both sides of the conflict and showed people they have a lot in common. "I want them to gain an understanding of their fears of the unknown," Osgood said. "We don't know the person we fight against." He said that he has learned through his interviews and travels to Vietnam that people are capable of putting the past behind them and moving forward. Although he submitted his documentary to a few film festivals and submitted it to PBS for a documentary series, he eventually realized that the screenings would be more effective in
» SPAMALOT
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 haven't seen it. Houston-native actress Leslie Jackson plays “Lady of the Lake,” a character who doesn’t appear in the film, yet makes an appearance in the musical. The difference the Lady of the Lake makes for the musical is she tells King Arthur where to find the Holy Grail and serves as his love interest. “It’s a lot of fun,” Jackson said. “You’ll laugh a lot.” Jackson said playing a comedic part has been a fun challenge for her and she said she’s found her own style to be more understated. “You have to stay so true to comedy,” Jackson said. Toms, who said he is a Monty Python fan, saw the
university and museum settings. “I like taking it to universities because it’s a chance for young people to learn a little bit about this particular time in history, especially since my content talks about humanizing the former enemy and being able to look at the differences in culture and accept someone for who they are,” Osgood said. From this tour, Osgood has learned that his audiences, young or old, have found at least one way to connect with one of the stories included in his documentary. Although at times it can be challenging to show this film to a younger group, he said he believes that getting them to watch will help open their eyes to the struggles men and women go through during war. During his stop at Radford University in Virginia, on the weekend of Oct. 6, he talked to five different classes about the Vietnam War. Talking to the classes allowed the students and him to learn new things and experience the story from different perspectives. He described the visit as a very rewarding experience. While on the trip, Osgood also received some news about another opportunity for his documentary. His film will be shown Jan. 3, 2019, at the National Archives in Washington, D.C., as the closing event for the Remembering Vietnam exhibit, which began in 2017. “I am humbled and excited,” said Osgood. “This is, for me, one of the best opportunities that I have had in my work.” The original version of the documentary is available for purchase through IU Press, and there is a copy located in the Bloomington Public Library and Wells Library. Additionally, there will be a showing of Osgood’s documentary at 11 a.m. Nov. 10 in Bloomington City Hall, sponsored by the City of Bloomington. “With this program, we hope to honor individuals who have served their country or been touched by war, express our gratitude for their service, extend our compassion for their suffering and learn from their experience,” said Bloomington Mayor John Hamilton in a press release. show on London's West End and at the Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles. “When I saw it in the Pantages, some of the people who are in the cast now were up on stage,” Toms said. Doug Booher, executive director of IU Auditorium, said he was excited to bring “Spamalot“to Bloomington. “Monty Python revolutionized comedy in the 20th century and we are very fortunate to be able to bring a piece of that onto the IU Auditorium stage with ‘Spamalot,’ Booher said in a press release. “Both comedy and theatre lovers will be able to appreciate the playful parody, hilarious songs, and lavish costumes and set pieces that set the scene for King Arthur’s quest with his Knights of the Round Table.”
