Breach affects local Jimmy John’s From IDS reports
Jimmy John’s announced Wednesday a data breach affecting approximately 216 locations nationwide, including the East Third Street and Kirkwood Avenue locations in Bloomington. The data breach would have affected debit and credit cards used at the locations. Potentially compromised information includes payment information, such as the cardholder name, debit or credit card numbers, expiration date and verification code, according to Jimmy John’s. While the news is just now being made public, Jimmy John’s has known of a possible security threat for more than a month. Officials from Jimmy John’s said the company learned of the possible security breach July 30, according to a press release. Officials also said that upon discovering the potential threat, they immediately hired third-party forensics experts, though they have not confirmed the identity of that party. “While the investigation is ongoing, it appears that customers’ credit and debit card data was compromised after an intruder stole log-in credentials from Jimmy John’s point-of-sale vendor and used these stolen credentials to remotely access the point-of-sale systems at some corporate and franchised locations between June 16, 2014, and September 5, 2014,” the release said. Customers should feel free to use their credit and debit cards at Jimmy John’s locations, the release said. The company says it has taken steps to prevent this type of event from occurring in the future. Officials will not contact customers who may have been affected. Customers should check their credit card statements for suspicious activity and report any incidents to their bank or credit card company, the release said.

The kitchen clock strikes midnight, and the schoolteacher is halfway finished making spicy chocolate ice pops. Linda Lewis pours melted chocolate into a pot of simmering milk, sugar and spices. Usually her husband, Iuri, helps, but he has had less time for popsicles since he was hired as a taxi driver. Tonight, it’s just her, the rows of empty moulds, the hum of the ice machine and the clink of the metal spoon as she stirs the mixture. “I’m just eyeing it,” she says, trying to divide the liquid evenly.

Iconic recording artist Rosanne Cash is bringing the sounds of the South to IU today. The country singer-songwriter and author will perform at 8 p.m. tonight at IU Auditorium. She will promote her newest album, “The River and the Thread,” and some of her classic material, which will all be a part of her concert tour, according to the auditorium’s website. Although Cash is classified as a country artist, she also plays other genres such as folk, pop, rock and blues and has crossed these styles in her music. “Rosanne is a real quality singer and songwriter, and she has a career that is 30 years deep in country, folk and roots music,” Danny Kahn, Cash’s manager, said. “She is a wonderful singer and has a fantastic band and fantastic body of work. There’s nothing not to enjoy.” She has performed for more than three decades, recorded 15 albums and reached musical achievements such as a Grammy, 21 Top 40 hits and Americana Honors and Awards’ Album of the Year Award.

The recipe for an IU win in 2014 has been to play solid in defense and hope for a goal. That narrative was broken Wednesday. IU won by a score of 4-2 against Central Florida in a match that saw IU give UCF plenty of chances to score in the first half. “It was a different night,” senior defender Patrick Doody said. “We just weren’t at our sharpest. We put one in early and instead of putting the pedal down, we let off.” After Jamie Vollmer’s goal 2:41 into the match, IU started to sit back and defend. Except UCF had no intentions of the match ending 1-0. UCF has lost by the score line of 1-0 three times this season. UCF found a goal 11:01 into the match after what seemed like the Knights’ first good spell of possession. A corner kick curled into the box. It was bounced outside the box, where junior Jake Weiss hit it off the half volley off the underside of the crossbar and into the goal. UCF did not stop there, creating three or four more quality scoring chances in the next 10 minutes that left IU feeling fortunate to still be level. “We like to press, and at times we can be our own worst enemy,” IU Coach Todd Yeagley said. “As a staff

Uighur scholar Ilham Tohti was convicted and given a life sentence in prison by the Chinese government this week. Tohti was convicted of “separatism,” according to a Sept. 16 release made by international humanitarian organization Amnesty International. Separatism is defined as advocating or practicing against a group of people and, in this case, the Chinese government. Previously, Tohti was traveling with his daughter to IU as a visiting scholar with the Institute of International Education when he was detained in February 2013. While Tohti never made it to IU, Land said his daughter has remained in Bloomington since. “He’s not a radical guy at all, but he’s been charged with stirring up trouble for the government and between ethnic groups,” said Mark Land, associate vice president for IU communications.

we need to do a better job recognizing that and not being stubborn with how we want the game to go.” However, with how often UCF was sending numbers forward, it left its defense lacking numbers. IU took advantage with two goals within 40 seconds of one another. The start of the second half saw UCF create a good amount of chances resulting in a goal from junior Romario Williams four minutes into the half. “He’s a good player,” freshman Grant Lillard said. “He’s very ath-

Conference aids students from abroad By Ashleigh Sherman aesherma@indiana.edu | @aesherma
International students gathered Wednesday to learn the differences between domestic and international student life, as well as how to navigate their college experience. The Office of International Services hosted the First Year Success Conference on Wednesday in the Indiana Memorial Union Whittenberger Auditorium, where first-year international students attended opening remarks and two sessions of their choice. The conference was divided into seven parts: College is More than the Classroom; How to Take Notes, Read, and Study; Successfully Navigating the IUB Classroom Culture; Managing Academic Stress; Getting Started on Your Research: Navigating the Library; Cultural Adjustment and Tips for Spoken English: from Conversation to Presentation. Each session was designed to teach international students how to create short-term and long-term goals, deal with failure and identify resources, said Chelsea Carroll, assistant director of orientation and outreach at the Office of International Services. “I want to be successful in my college life and through my college life because it is my first time studying abroad,” said JJ Park, a freshman from South Korea. “So when I read the brief information about this, I thought I might use this to get better.” Though in domestic classrooms students are expected to actively communicate and participate, in many international classrooms students are instead expected to sit and listen, passively understanding, but not questioning the information, Carroll said. “It’s more about active collaboration between the student and the professor or even between students within the classroom,” she said. “That can sometimes be jarring for students who haven’t grown up in academic environments that really foster that type of learning.” Complicating matters further, international students often do not receive the same parental support that domestic students do, Carroll said. “They don’t necessarily have the culture capital at home,” she said. “So they
don’t have people at home guiding them and helping them figure out what that next step is now that they’re here.” This leads to a misunderstanding about the purpose of higher education in the United States. Because faculty from many international institutions of higher education help students find a job following graduation, a degree from an international institution of higher education often guarantees a job, Carroll said. “As most American students know, it’s degree plus experience or internships or leadership experience while you’re here that will translate into actually getting a job,” she said. Carroll said the language barrier can be stressful. “Speaking English is the most difficult (challenge),” Park said. “Some students are having problems listening to the professor and what she or he says. And some professors have their different pronunciations, special pronunciations, so it’s really hard to understand. And I just want to know how I can solve these problems.” Carroll said the Office of International Studies tries to solve these problems by ensuring students know where to go for language support. “We also try to remind them that we know that this isn’t necessarily your native language if you’re coming from a non-English speaking country,” she said. “You don’t always have to be perfect, but the more you practice, the more you just get out of your comfort zone and speak in English, the better you’ll become over time.” Last year, the Office of International Services divided the conference into several one-hour sessions, held once every two weeks throughout the fall semester. “We just found that it was difficult for students to make all of the different, discrete sessions, because (students) are busy with classes and a million other activities and a million other ways of being involved,” Carroll said. Carroll said she hopes international students will continue to succeed at IU. “I am so impressed with the caliber of international students we have and the level of involvement many of them are willing to take on,” she said.
Kelley announces new Rose-Hulman partnership From IDS reports
Students at the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology can now earn a master’s degree from IU’s Kelley School of Business in one year thanks to a partnership between the two institutions. Rose-Hulman is the No. 1 ranked undergraduate engineering college in the country, with approximately 2,000 undergraduate students, according to the University. Many of these students will be able to earn a master of science in one year from the Kelley School of Business after receiving their undergraduate degree from Rose-Hulman. Students will also have the option of applying for deferred admission to the business school’s full-time MBA program. Recent studies have shown that, while engineering degrees from top schools such as Rose-Hulman are valuable, employers are particularly interested in engineers with business knowledge, according to the University. The one-year master’s program will accelerate the degree process by one year, according to the University. A master’s degree takes 30
credit hours to complete. Students can earn an inresidence master’s degree in accounting and information systems or online master’s degrees in information technology management, entrepreneurship and innovation, business analytics, finance, global supply chain management, marketing and strategic management. The online master’s program involves both in-residence and online components. All Rose-Hulman students participating in the program will be required to take a business core class during the spring semester of either their junior or senior year. Upon the completion of the core requirement, students can begin their business coursework, according to the University. The business school has a similar program in place for students in IU’s College of Arts and Sciences. Rose-Hulman has a similar agreement with the IU Maurer School of Law, which also has programs in place with Princeton University, Georgia Tech and Knox College. Anna Hyzy

Students discuss racial identity By Steven Johnson stetjohn@indiana.edu | @stetyjohn
A group of students clustered in the living room of the IU Asian Culture Center, cups of tea in their hands and race on their minds. The discussion, part of the center’s Over Tea series, focused on a National Public Radio article published earlier this year about changes in self-identification shown in the United States Census. “Race and ethnicity are difficult categories that are mutually overlapping and in flux,” said Holly Schreiber, a graduate student from the Center for Research on Race and Ethnicity in Society, who led the talk. The census, as a quantitative survey, comes in constant conflict with the
changing racial attitudes and politics of its time, she said. The conversation focused on what NPR reporter Gene Demby called “racial churn” among Hispanics, or the shift in how people identify themselves on the census, often crossing lines and checking different boxes decade by decade. The 2010 census in particular recorded a notable increase in Hispanics marking themselves racially “white.” Schreiber noted the census’ macroscopic view often does not match individual perspective. “The method used to gather the information affects the information,” Schreiber said. “This article may frame the census as a part of human experience, like you’re marking your

identity when checking the boxes.” Even whiteness is not so clear-cut in the American mind, Schreiber said. “What does it mean to be white?” she said. “That’s such a historically fixed thing. What does whiteness mean? The Irish is a very famous example. That there was an assimilation process, that when they first came over they were not considered white. People didn’t always see race and ethnicity in the same way.” Students questioned whether the gap between government and individual could be fixed by adding more racial categories to the census. “I don’t know if it’s even doable,” student Janaki Patel said. “You’re trying to quantify something that’s qualitative. It’s never going to be perfect.”

The discussion comes in a time of high speculation about the country’s changing racial profile, as it makes changes in the coming decades in majority/ minority diversity. The students said they often hadn’t thought about the difference between ethnicity and race and how their place fit in national categories. “I started to identify more with my racial identity after joining HoosierRaas at IU and developing interests in my culture,” IU student Kavita Dedania said. Dedania came to the event with other members of Gujarati dance group Raas Royalty. After an hour of difficult definitions and discussion, one student offered a summary: “The census doesn’t work as well as I thought it did.”

A young volunteer hands out free water to residents of Cracolândia on Saturday evening. The volunteer group Instituto Construir, or Construction Institute, makes soup in bulk every Saturday night and distributes it to the homeless living in the center of São Paulo.
Homelessness, protests contrast from US Last week, protesters set fire to a public bus less than five miles from where I live and go to school. It was the latest in a series of conflicts between police and various homeless organizations around São Paulo. In this instance, the Shock Police were attempting to evict homeless families from an otherwise unused building in the center of the city. Despite the proximity to my usual area of town, I wasn’t in the least bit afraid. My day proceeded normally, aside from an advisory email saying it was best to avoid the conflict. This is characteristic of what living in Brazil can be like. For the most part, rampant poverty, homelessness and the social unrest that accompany them stay out of sight and out of mind for the growing middle class. In 2009, 53.4 million out of a population of close to 200
million were living with less than $4 a day. Many of the homeless in São Paulo have adapted to their conditions by living in one of the many abandoned buildings around the city. The buildings are easily identifiable. Their exteriors are covered with graffiti and, usually, huge banners hang outside declaring the buildings to be property of one of the homeless movements. What the rest of the world saw in the news during the World Cup were mostly protests orchestrated by groups such as these. During the World Cup, there was a general feeling of bitterness from these organizations toward the Brazilian government. The government scaled up attempts to pacify these groups and the homeless in general in anticipation of a storm of foreign tourists. Of course, not all of the homeless in São Paulo live in
abandoned buildings. Last weekend, I took a trip as a media volunteer to a part of town nicknamed Cracolândia. You could probably guess the translation — “Crack Land.” This is a highly concentrated community of homeless people living in the center of São Paulo. Despite the fact that the police patrol the area regularly, its residents are largely drug abusers. The cycle of poverty was very visible there. People wandered aimlessly through the street, crack pipes in hand, while three or four bored-looking police officers observed. More disturbing were the children, usually without shoes, walking the filthy roads with nothing to do. The sheer number of people was probably what shocked me the most. In the United States, while we still

have a homelessness dilemma, you would never find so many people in the same place living without basic necessities. I got back to my apartment that night, bingewatched “Breaking Bad” and fell asleep for a long time. It seems there is no solution for Brazil’s chronic homelessness problem. After seeing Cracolândia, I couldn’t help but feel that no amount of government aid or volunteer programs could lift these people out of poverty. The best hope for the impoverished is that the government will finally start allocating more funds toward infrastructure and social programs. Until then, I expect the buses will keep burning. marwilde@indiana.edu
Domestic violence shelters State medical incident eligible for more funding report shows increase From IDS reports
The Indiana Criminal Justice Institute announced Tuesday that the 43 domestic violence shelters it serves will be eligible to receive an additional $740,426, according to a release from the institute. This funding will be in addition to any funding already approved by the ICJI’s Board of Trustees last week. The amount will be added to the Domestic Violence Treatment and Prevention Fund, which provides assistance and short-term support to victims. The total amount of funding for domestic violence programs increased by $1.5 million this year, ICJI’s Executive
Director Mary Allen said. This year’s total funding comes out at $4.2 million. The DVTP Council’s role includes developing a statewide domestic violence plan, as well as working with individual shelters to develop their budgets. The board voted Friday to provide the same amount of funding as in 2013, as well as make an additional $1.1 million available to the 43 current DVTP shelters and additional domestic violence programs served by the fund. Tuesday’s announcement signifies that the amount of DVTP funds have nearly doubled since last year. Holly Hays
From IDS reports
The number of medical errors in Indiana increased in 2013, according to a report released today by the State Department of Health. In the 2013 Indiana Medical Error Reporting System’s annual report, a total of 111 incidents were documented. That number is up slightly from the 100 incidents reported in 2012. Of those incidents, 45 were pressure ulcers, also known as bed sores, while 27 were related to foreign objects retained in a patient following surgery. Eighteen of the reported incidents involved surgeries that were performed on the wrong part
of a patient’s body. A total of 293 hospitals, surgery centers, abortion clinics and birthing centers were surveyed as part of the report. Indiana was the second state in the country to adopt the National Quality Forum’s reporting standards in 2006. The reporting standards are not comprehensive but allow for a broad oversight of medical issues in Indiana. “This is part of the Indiana State Department of Health’s continuing efforts to improve health and care for Hoosiers,” State Health Commissioner William VanNess said in a statement.

Area codes in central and southern Indiana will undergo new changes soon due to a swiftly decreasing supply of phone numbers with 317 and 812 area codes in the state. The 812 area code, which has remained unchanged since 1947, will be joined by Indiana’s newest area code, 930, which began its transition period March 1. This trial period is serving as a way for callers in the 812 area to adjust to dialing 10-digit numbers, according to an Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor press release. “Without 930 the supply of available numbers for southern and south-central Indiana would run out in 2015,” according to the website. The 317 telephone area code, which serves the Indianapolis region, is projected to run out of numbers in 2017. To remedy this issue, the Indiana telecommunications industry asked the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission on July 10 to add a new area code to the 317 region. This request is currently pending, according to the IOUCC website. Testimony from the IOUCC will be due Jan. 6, 2015. “The IURC will consider and determine when and how a new area code will be implemented for the 317 area,” according to the website. The North American Numbering Plan Administrator is the body that “oversees and assigns telephone area codes in the United States,” according to an IOUCC fact sheet. It filed the July 10 petition and suggested an overlay of all services. A geographic split, which is sometimes offered as an alternative to a service overlay, was not mentioned as a possibility in the NANPA petition. Both the 812 and 317 area code transitions will likely be dealt with through overlays, which means existing customers will keep their same phone numbers. “All new area codes introduced in the United States since 2008 have used the overlay method,” the website states, and that will include Indiana’s upcoming transitions. In the case of an overlay, the IOUCC website states that changes will likely be
implemented in 2015. Callers will need to dial 10 digits for local calls once changes are made and existing 317 phone numbers will not change, according to the website. Three-digit calls, such as emergency service 911, will remain the same. These regulations will work the same way with the 812 region, according to the website. Following the addition of a 930 area code to the 812 region, the 930 and 812 area codes are projected not to need additional changes for another 71 years. Although the 812 area code shift is already underway, the long-term solution to the 317 area code problem is still pending approval. Anyone who is interested in commenting about the issue and giving advice may submit written comments to the IOUCC or attend one of the several IURC public field hearings listed below. To learn more about the area code changes and remain updated on the situation, visit www.in.gov/oucc.
WHAT CHANGES ARE COMING TO YOUR AREA? Because of the limited number of 812 and 317 phone numbers available, new area codes are being introduced to the area. Individuals with existing phone numbers will be able to keep their numbers and area code. To make local calls, residents will now need to dial 10 digits.

The racial discourse paradox
Genius or gimmick? RILEY ZIPPER is a junior in English.
NANCY WU is a senior in English.
There has been a lot of controversy regarding the use of the word redskins, a racist slur toward Native Americans. The term is used in the name of the NFL team the Washington Redskins and roused a lot of attention earlier this year when people of Native American descent convinced the United States Patent and Trademark Office to cancel the team’s trademark registration. Last month, the team sued five Native Americans, insisting there has been a mistake and Redskins is, in fact, not racially offensive. And now the issue has gained popularity, causing widespread attention and influence. The Washington Post opinion page has recently decided to stop using redskins, and editors at a Pennsylvania high school student newspaper found themselves at odds with school administrators when they were punished for refusing to use the term redskins. While I’m all for antiracism, there is something disheartening about this whole ordeal. The banning of the word itself is enough to show that something has already gone wrong. It shows that we are, inevitably, still engaging in derogatory racial discourse. Now people may think this is no surprise. Words convey meaning, and certain words are necessarily negative and offensive in nature. Thus, it’s only reasonable that words like redskins should be banned. But I would like to argue from a different perspective. It is not the words themselves that carry some inherent meaning. More often than not, it’s the connotation and sentiments we attach to them that make them derogatory. If people only associated the term with a popular sports team and not a racial slur, then none of this trouble would’ve occurred in the first place. The football team would be right: redskins would, in fact, not be racially offensive. The controversy about the redskins, however, just proves that these racial slurs and racist discourses are still present. And here, I am not sure if putting a ban on such words is a viable solution to the problem. For there can always be the next Rword, the X-word, the Pword, call it whatever you like, that participates in the same discriminatory discourse. And even worse, in banning the word, we may be adding to the problem by creating a distinction between what’s racist and non-racist, accentuating and appropriating the fact that certain words are racially discriminative and that such concepts exists and will continue to exist. Although I don’t have the solutions to the problem of the racist discourse, I do believe the day when racism is gone would be the day when the ban on words like redskins would be lifted. Perhaps then, in the path to creating a colorblind society, we need first be colorblind ourselves. nywu@indiana.edu

Taking it back WE SAY: You should have checked sooner The federal government announced Sept. 15 that about 115,000 Americans will be losing their health insurance obtained through the Affordable Care Act on Oct. 1 due to their failure to submit proper documentation regarding their legal status. While the government has a right to deny its services to those who are not legally in the country, the abrupt termination of health insurance does not address the issues that the 115,000 Americans could be facing in trying to keep their health insurance. The ACA, signed into law in March 2010, outlawed many existing practices such as life limits on healthcare coverage that inhibited Americans from obtaining insurance. However, implementing a wide-scale program such as the ACA has cost a substantial amount of taxpayer money. The Washington Post reported that the website alone, healthcare.gov, has cost nearly $320 billion in maintenance between its launch between October and December 2013. With an investment as large as the ACA, it is fair that the federal government should require those obtaining its benefits to possess lawful status in the United States. However, the situation of 115,000 potentially undocumented Americans suddenly losing their coverage raises several concerns. First, the situation begs the question of
how exactly 115,000 potentially undocumented Americans obtained health insurance through the federal government in the first place. According to healthcare.gov, participants must meet three requirements. One of which is lawful residence in the United States. How allegedly illegal immigrants got healthcare is a fair question. Additionally, the New York Times reported that the affected applicants have struggled with submitting the requested paperwork through the ACA site. The inability of Healthcare.gov to process documentation requested by the federal government is another setback in the string of glitches the website has had since its launch. If 115,000 potentially undocumented residents were able to find a loophole and obtain health insurance for nearly one year while others are unable to submit documents declaring their lawful status, what does that say about the federal government’s ability to oversee the distribution of the country’s resources? Secondly, the federal government has been ambiguous regarding the demographics of the 115,000 who will lose their health insurance. In 2010, approximately 1 million undocumented children resided in the United States. Because they do not have autonomy yet, these children have the right to receive primary and secondary education, placing them in contact with potentially hun-
dreds of students throughout the course of a school day. Aside from the apparent moral implications of denying services to an individual that does not have the capacity to choose whether he or she is undocumented, children pose a particular risk to public health due to their sheer proximity in the school environment. Guardians of undocumented children would face additional barriers in obtaining the necessary immunizations required to enter school, disenfranchising the youth for the rest of their lives. Seasonal illness could also pose a serious threat to the ill child, his or her family and the children around him or her. This year alone, the nation has seen a spike in hospitalizations among children who have become sick with a strong strain of a common virus called enteroviruses. Seasonal illness and basic immunizations should not be factors that guardians of undocumented children worry about when caring for their child. If children are among the 115,000 that will lose coverage Oct. 1, the federal government should have a plan in place to address the healthcare needs of undocumented minors other than the termination of their coverage. While the federal government has the right to oversee who receives the services provided by the ACA, the American people also have the right to trust that their elected officials are competent enough to do so.
GUENTHER WITH AN ‘E’
What do the DOE and guns have in common? It seems I have to keep writing columns about how overmilitarized our country is, and yet no one really seems to pay attention. Well now it seems the government has gone so far as to give bookkeepers submachine guns. After Sept. 11, the United States went insane trying to cover every security loophole to protect the public from potential terrorist threats. Part of this panic included passing the 2002 Homeland Security Act. In addition to creating a new bloated, bureaucratic federal department, the Homeland Security Act also gave nearly every existing federal department military capabilities. Essentially, the United States moved toward arming nearly all federal employees. It’s becoming a pestilence so pervasive even the Depart-
ment of Education’s Office of the Inspector General has requested 27 shotguns for its auditors. That’s right. The people in charge of making sure elementary schools spend money correctly could be armed with shotguns. Besides the general insanity that must accompany this logic semiautomatic submachine guns, the process is also quite secretive. Rep. Chris Stewart, R-Utah, said Congress doesn’t know how many or what types of weapons these agencies are stockpiling. Stewart went on to say, “Americans don’t see why dozens of federal agencies need their own highly armed police forces with the authority to raid homes and businesses,” according to CNN. Prior to the passage of 2002 Homeland Security Act, agencies could request the
use of weapons on an ad hoc basis, meaning the requests had to be renewed. After the law passed, however, these agencies began operating under a “Don’t ask, don’t tell” policy in regard to weapons procurement. The Social Security Administration has 290 investigators who carry weapons but, in the past 20 years, they’ve only ever fired their weapons twice. Meanwhile, in 2011, the Food and Drug Administration performed armed raids of Amish farms. The charges? The farms may have been violating regulations related to the production and sale of raw milk. There have also been reports by the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund, according to CNN, that the Food and Drug Administration has raided unarmed food producers at gunpoint because they were suspected of

violating permits. When your government begins stockpiling weapons to hold up people accused of picking fruit out of season, you have a problem with fear in your country. Now we’re experiencing the consequences of letting a federal bureaucracy become so consumed with fear that it arms elementary school inspectors. We can’t win the war on terror if we give up freedoms We have to stand strong and resolute in our fight against terror by protecting our people, upholding human rights abroad and retaining our rights here at home. ajguenth@indiana.edu

Imagine watching your favorite movie in black and white without dialogue. What would change? You would certainly notice things you hadn’t noticed before: the nuance of the actors, the subtlety of the director’s choices in lighting, staging, etc., the austerity of the colorless world in which the film exists and many other things. Or you would get bored. This is precisely what director Steven Soderbergh did to the 1981 Spielberg classic “Raiders of the Lost Ark.” This raises the question: is it a gimmick or an act of genius? I say it’s genius. In the humanities, we’re constantly challenged with the idea of different perspectives toward a work of art, whether that art be a painting, novel, film or something else. Time and time again, I’ll read something a critic or a peer says, and it makes me think about a work of art in a completely different way. What Soderbergh did is exactly this. Except he went about it in an unusual way. Instead of writing an essay about the complexities of the mise-en-scène during the fight on the Flying Wing, he’s showing us how and why it is complex. This showing and not telling is something that’s nearly impossible to do in criticism. In narrative, writers are constantly told to show, not to tell, but how can you do that in a critical essay? Just like this. And it’s a whole lot more fun than an essay. It’s more informative, too. But it’s not like a lot of people are going to watch this. Soderbergh didn’t make this cut for its entertainment value. This is for critics and super-fans who’ve seen the original cut hundreds of times. So we need to be aware of the context and remember this isn’t an entertainment piece. Whenever you rewatch a movie, you will no doubt notice things you didn’t notice before. Soderbergh’s cut just amplifies this. It gives viewers a new window to look through. It’s like reading a classic like “Great Expectations” then reading a bunch of Marxist theory, then reading the novel again. Your perspective will change a bit. You’ll be enlightened. There are a lot of different perspectives out there. We’re just too stubborn in our own ideologies to listen to most of them. The fact that Soderbergh had to edit his own cut of a classic film kind of speaks to this. Humans are a pretty self-important species. We tend to think our own opinions are the only ones out there or, at the very least, the best ones out there. Soderbergh’s cut of “Raiders of the Lost Ark” is available for free on his website extension765. com. I encourage you to watch just a few minutes of it, and I guarantee you’ll find something new. zipperr@indiana.edu

Hoosier offense nets most goals this year By Andrew Vailliencourt availlie@indiana.edu | @AndrewVcourt
The Hoosiers had only tallied four goals in their first six games. After No. 17 IU’s 4-2 win against Central Florida (UCF) on Wednesday, the team topped that mark with six goals in its last two games. The scoring output Wednesday was the highest number of goals scored by the Hoosiers since Oct. 23, 2013, against Evansville. The IU men’s soccer team had not scored more than one goal in a game entering play Saturday when the team took on Rutgers. After struggling to score goals early on in the season, IU appears to have broken through and opened the flood gates by scoring twice in its win against Rutgers and the four goals against UCF. IU Coach Todd Yeagley and his players remained confident the goals would come, and they have. “I’m really happy that we got not only four goals but four good goals,� senior
defender Patrick Doody said. “That’s a very positive step.� Senior midfielder Jamie Vollmer opened up the scoring Wednesday just three minutes in as he put back a cross from junior Matt Foldesy into the net from just inside the six-yard line. Freshman midfielder Trevor Swartz netted IU’s second goal at the 32-minute mark, as he put back a shot by junior Femi Hollinger-Janzen and put it right over a diving Knights goalie. IU’s third goal was drilled in on a rocket of a shot by Doody from about 25 yards out. It came just one minute after Swartz’s goal and gave the Hoosiers a comfortable lead going into halftime. “(Doody’s goal was) a great goal,� Yeagley said. “Patrick has worked his tail off on those types of scenarios. That’s not a fluke for him. He’s worked really hard.� The goal was assisted by sophomore Billy McConnell. “We didn’t create as many good looks as we have
in some games,� Yeagley said. “I thought all the goals were very well done.� The final goal came from freshman defender Grant Lillard. It was his first career goal and was the second assist for McConnell. The goal gave IU a two-goal lead, which it would not give up. “It was nice,� Lillard said. “I feel like I’ve missed a lot of opportunities this year so it was good to get the first one and get the goal-scoring going.� While the Hoosiers tallied their highest scoring mark of the season, they also allowed the most goals they have given up in a single game all season. Yeagley said he is confident in his defense, which has been a strong point all year so far. “I think we were just a little lazier and slower on our team defense throughout the field,� Lillard said. “It’s the first time we’ve given up two goals, which isn’t a bad thing. We’ve done pretty well on the defensive end, and it doesn’t hurt our confidence at all.�

Eight months after falling to Stanford in the NCAA Regional final, IU baseball will open its 2015 season with a trip to Palo Alto, Calif., for a rematch. The program announced its 2015 schedule via its Twitter account Wednesday afternoon. IU will play its first competitive games with new coach Chris Lemonis in a three-game series at Stanford, which is part of a 12game stretch on the road to begin the season. IU’s non-conference schedule is strong, with perennial powers Long Beach State, Cal State Fullerton and Louisville joining Stanford to test the new-look Hoosiers. As part of their non-conference schedule, the Hoosiers will play in the Snowbird Baseball Classic in Port Charlotte, Fla., from March 6 to 8. The annual classic brings together Division I and Division III teams from across the country for a series of competitive early-season contests. The Hoosiers will return to Bart Kaufman Field on March 10 with a two-game weekday series against Northern Illinois before opening Big Ten play two weeks later. IU’s attempt at a thirdconsecutive conference championship kicks off March 20 to 22 when it travels to Penn State for a weekend series. The Big Ten Tournament is scheduled for May 20 through 24 in Minneapolis, with the NCAA Tournament regional round beginning May 29. Alden Woods

asking him to sell them weed. Santos calls to potential customers, sashaying up and down while Lewis mans the cart. She clucks her tongue when the Rasta Pop sign comes disconnected from the umbrella. “I see there’s a benefit in every job in life,” Santos says, watching his wife pull out frozen money from the cart to make change. Their 10-yearold daughter, Zara, and 13-year-old son, Zeca, run by. “I left a lot in Brazil,” Santos says. “For my children, you have got to live a different life. Here I find ways to bring it with me. Without these things, it would be a lot harder to be here. That’s what keeps me alive.” A red pick-up truck rolls by, almost shaking the little cart with its bass music. “Rasta Pops,” the driver says, mimicking Santos’ Brazilian accent.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Lewis is concocting the batch for Rasta Pops, the Brazilian-inspired popsicle cart her family recently started. Three nights a week, she rents the kitchen space from One World Commissary, which owns Pizza X and Lennie’s. Pushing up her cheetahprint glasses, the 47-year-old mom peers closely at the recipe she created. It’s been a long day. After working at Harmony School, she pushed her cart to Bryan Park to sell as the sun set, then came here to whip up more popsicles. “I taste-test them all,” she says. “I feel like I’m very particular.” In one short month, Lewis has found herself in a world of itinerant merchant licenses, minus 20-degree freezers and dreams of $12,000 Finamac Turbo 8 popsicle machines. “We were just looking for another source of income for our family,” Lewis said. “We thought it would be a nice way for Iuri to work for himself.” *** Lewis and Iuri Santos met in Salvador, Brazil, when she took a yearlong sabbatical to teach English. Watching bloques roll down the street during Carnival of 1998, her friends joked about which men they found attractive. Lewis pointed to the handsome martial art instructor atop the capoeira float. “Just leave that one alone up there,” she said. Three months later, the couple was married and

It was Santos’ first time in the United States. “She was the one who came after me,” Santos said. “That’s what made me want to stay with her.” Santos is a self-proclaimed Rastafarian. He doesn’t cut his waist-long dreadlocks and rejects ideas of materialism. In Bloomington he teaches capoeira, a Brazilian martial art that combines elements of dance, acrobatics and music. It’s an identity that encourages the same question, whether he is driving his taxi or pushing the popsicle cart: “How much weed, man?” “Rasta Pops don’t get you high,” Santos said, laughing.

The University also expressed concern for some IU faculty members who are having trouble currently traveling in China. “We’re obviously monitoring these sort of situations very carefully,” Land said.

“I wish they could.” The couple was inspired to open the cart by the popsicle vendors who crowd the streets of Brazil. “In Brazil in every park, and then on the sidewalks in town, everywhere, people are selling popsicles,” Lewis said. “It’s kind of a favorite memory for my kids when we go to Brazil because you’ll be in the house and hear the guy outside, ’Picolé, picolé,’ and then the kids go running to their parents for money. It’s just like the ice cream man here.” Lewis was the one who began researching Brazilian recipes, gourmet popsicles and natural ingredients. About $8,000 later, the family owns its own freezer in speaking out in what is thought to be an unjust resolution, Land said. “We believe very strongly that part of academic freedom is to go where you need to go and do what you need to do, to collaborate with your academic colleagues,” he said.

Rather it was the inability to hold possession in the midfield consistently that hurt the Hoosiers. “We just weren’t connecting passes well,” Yeagley said. “If you open the field up and you can’t connect, they are really ready to go again, and that’s where we got hurt tonight. They weren’t great chances but they were more dangerous than I would have liked them to have been.” It was a pair of defenders who added a fourth to the
IU tally, however. Sophomore Billy McConnell’s cross found the head of Lillard, who slotted the ball into the far post for his first career goal. “We always feel confident regardless of how much we’re scoring or what the other team is doing,” Doody said. “This was probably one of the flukier scores we’ve had all year. So the fact that we still got the result without our best performance is important.”

Live from Bloomington ‘Saturday Night Live,’ ‘Anchorman’ star David Koechner talks to the IDS about comedy, his career and his Comedy Attic performances this weekend By Ike Hajinazarian ihajinaz@indiana.edu | @_IkeHaji
It’s been more than a decade since “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy” was released in theaters, yet its quotes are still used in daily banter — signs of a comedy that has stood the test of time. Much of the comedy’s hilariously over-the-top absurdity can be credited to the acting of its four leads, one of whom is coming to a Bloomington comedy club. David Koechner, famous for playing the role of Champ Kind in the “Anchorman” movies, is performing at the Comedy Attic tonight, Friday and Saturday. “I love performing, so to me it’s just a beautiful treat to get up and entertain people,” Koechner said in a phone interview. “I look forward to it any time I get the opportunity to do it.” He has plans to tape a comedy special, so now he’s touring the country with his act to hone it into a better performance. This show is something of a return to his roots for Koechner — he’s a Midwesterner born in Missouri. Koechner’s comedic style is riffing on things people can all universally relate to. “You try to do your own honest reflection on whatever’s happening,” he said. *
*

Before being known around the world by millions for roles such as Champ Kind or traveling salesman Todd Packer on “The Office,” Koechner was a Midwestern college student studying political science, a path that’s seemingly pretty far-removed from comedy. “But after three years studying political science, I realized a) I never had been on a golf course,
so I didn’t have that money and that connection, and b) I wasn’t from a political family and c) I wasn’t the smartest guy in any room I walked into, which I think is the other prerequisite if you don’t have the necessary funding or backing,” Koechner said. Koechner made his big realization while visiting a friend in Chicago. He went to see world-renowned improvisational comedy troupe the Second City, and it was there that Koechner saw that the troupe taught classes. Koechner was already a fan of sketch comedy. He said he was shaped by works such as “Saturday Night Live” and the “Monty Python” films. “(‘Monty Python’ films) are the ones that blew my mind when I was a kid, and I’d always try to use that as a gauge of how great comedy could be,” Koechner said. He then moved to Chicago and began taking improv classes at ImprovOlympic. In 1995, Koechner made his big comedic break on “Saturday Night Live.” *

“Everyone was literally crying. It was nearly impossible — thank God they were shooting with three cameras so they could cut around the guys that were laughing too hard to be filmed.” That’s how Koechner described the “Anchorman” sequel set during filming of the “lighthouse” scene in which Will Ferrell’s titular character is blind. A couple of decades after Koechner began dabbling in comedy, he’s in the same boat as massive stars such as Steve Carell and Paul Rudd. But as well as being an actor-comedian in hit movies and television shows, Koechner also knows his way
around a stand-up microphone. It’s an art form that he says is “like jazz” when well done. Even though Koechner is one of the most famous comedians currently in the industry, he still takes time to watch other comedians, such as Bill Burr, whose work he’s currently lauding. “Oh my god — he’s so smart. I think he’s the best working right now. I don’t think anyone beats him,” he said. Koechner said he believes budding comedians should learn from experience, study the work of greats before them and not let anything get in the way of their success. “You got an obstacle? Knock it down. If you’ve got an opportunity, make the best of it,” Koechner said. He said he believes it’s easy to see whether or not one’s comedy is working. “Get on stage. They’ll let you know if you’re funny or not.” Along with the comedy special Koechner will be taping, he also has a few other projects in the works. He said he’s developing a sitcom with Adam McKay, co-writer and director of “Anchorman.” “We’re hoping that we, you know, get further with it,” Koechner said. He’s also writing a movie and developing two other television projects. *

Opened in September 2008, the Comedy Attic is an intimate comedy club that attracts stars. “We’re building towards being thought of as a major tent pole of the city, and in only six years, we have kind of made a pretty lasting mark on this town,” said Jared Thompson, owner of the Comedy Attic. Thompson said the Comedy

Attic has been “obsessed” with bringing Koechner to Bloomington for years. “The people that live in Bloomington have been asking for him for quite a while now,” Thompson said. Thompson said the Comedy Attic’s reputation is the reason Koechner would choose to put a city smaller than his average tour stops on his itinerary. Thompson also said Tom Brady, whom he claims to be Bloomington’s first and only born-and-raised professional comedian, will perform with Koechner this weekend. Koechner’s performance tonight is as a headliner for the Comedy Attic’s sixth anniversary,
a show that will offer 100 percent of ticket sales revenue to Monroe County Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children. In the past few years, the Comedy Attic has given to various charities for its opening and anniversaries and has raised just short of $25,000. While tonight’s anniversary show at the Comedy Attic hosted by Mayor Mark Kruzan and benefiting CASA is already sold out, limited quantities of tickets are still available for the 10:30 p.m. Saturday show. “Come out, come out wherever you are,” Koechner said. “This show would be better than church — especially if you don’t like church.”

NOT A MISSION TRIP
More than 40 percent of hospitals had an arts program in 2007, according to NBC. The Cleveland Clinic found that more than 60 percent of patients reported a stress reduction from the hospital’s contemporary
art collection, according to NBC. The pieces create a natural focal point and an incentive to walk down the hall, said Joanne Cohen, executive and curator at Cleveland Clinic’s Arts and Medicine Institute.
IU alumna’s novel due out in October Natalie Birzer pens story about high school struggles By Elena Maresh emaresh@indiana.edu
CAROLINE ELLERT | IDS
The sun sets over Kigali, Rwanda.
Kigali: ‘Exotic and tart with a little bit of a crunch’ Living in Kigali is like living in any big city. There are bustling people, traffic, lots of shopping, good food and touristy sites to see. It’s like any other big city, except when it’s not. Every city has its own flavor, its own vibe. If Kigali, Rwanda, was a food, I would characterize it as passion fruit with a few potatoes and maybe some rice. And beans. But maybe its because that’s practically all I eat here. In the United States, passion fruit is that flavor in a lollipop or Capri Sun, but the one you’ve never actually had in its natural form. Here, I can attest that passion fruit is indeed of a vine species, not just a synthetic factory-produced flavor. And it’s good. I can eat several in one sitting. Kigali, the capital of Rwanda, is different from other parts of the country and probably different from your average, stereotypical image of Africa. The streets are cleaner than any American city I’ve seen, with barely a scrap of trash in sight, even in the busiest areas.
Interestingly, though, I have yet to see a public trashcan or really any trash can at all. It’s unusual to have wastebaskets in homes as well. Which leads me to wonder: are Rwandans magical people who don’t accumulate trash? Or are they merely very good at hiding it? The main roads are good, well-paved and flanked with hedges and plants. Palm trees line the roads. Flowers bloom nearly year round, too, which is an extra plus that comes with warm, but mild, weather. The average maximum temperature while I’m here is about 82 degrees. As a result, everything is green and lush. Neat hedges are common but so are a variety of other plants. Although the practical construction of roads and modern buildings in cities usually sacrifices color, Kigali still blooms. If you’re not paying attention when riding around the city in a car, bus or moto, it’s easy to just stare straight ahead at the pavement in front of you. Looking out the window is one of the best ways to experience the city. Rwanda is known as the
Caroline Ellert is a junior in political science and English
“land of one thousand hills,” and I’m starting to think that’s an underestimation. In the gap between buildings and small shops, the many hills of Kigali peek through. No matter where you go, there’s always a view. The side of the road drops off into a sea of hills, each one rolling onto the next until they turn into misty figures hidden in the distance. The hills are dotted with tin roofs, greenery, churches and schools, signs of life. Every Sunday, I can hear singing and children playing outside from miles all around me. It’s difficult to feel isolated in Kigali. There’s noise and color and excitement all around. When the sun sets, it throws a dim orange light over the city, which only sleeps for a minute. Now that I think of it, if Kigali were a food, it would be a passion fruit. It’s exotic and tart, with a little bit of crunch, and is unlike anything you will find in the U.S.
After she graduated in 2013, IU alumna Natalie Birzer spent a year and a half waiting. Not waiting for a job opportunity or finding the perfect place to live but waiting for the publication of her novel, “Mission Hills.” Natalie Birzer said she did not realize how long the process of publishing a book would take. “It’s a really slow process that I need to learn to be patient because I’m ready for people to be able to read my work and give feedback,” Natalie Birzer said. “I would rather wait and have it turn out how I would want it to rather than rush it.” It was originally her father, Kevin Birzer, who gave her the initial push and inspiration to write a novel. He gave her a list of 20 things she should do before she started her full-time job and writing a novel was one of them. “(The list contained) everything from learn Spanish better to help at a soup kitchen,” Kevin Birzer said. “One of the ideas was to write a book. She always wanted to, so I think she took that opportunity to do it.” The story is about three girls in high school and their struggle to climb the ranks and attain popularity. The book plots out their experiences with the dramas of high school. “Everybody has insecu-

Throughout the month of October, Upland Brewing Company will travel back in time. In August, Upland celebrated the 16th anniversary of its opening. To celebrate its Bloomington expansion, the brewery, also known as Bloomington Brewpub, will release a special burger menu that lists all food items at their original 1998 prices. This pricing will last through the month of October. Currently, Upland has 42 brews in its repertoire. Winner of multiple awards in the Indiana State Fair Brewers Cup through the years, Up-
land is proof of increasing craft breweries nationwide. There has been a 17.2-percent increase in craft beer sales nationwide from 2012 to 2013, according to the Brewer’s Association. Indiana has 63 craft breweries, making it 14th in the nation in number of craft breweries. According to the Brewer’s Association, what defines a true craft beer is its maker. The brewer that makes the beer must be small, independent and traditional. The majority of Americans live within 10 miles of a craft brewer. Currently, Upland has remained small, with locations only in Indiana and
distribution in Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois and Wisconsin. Four out of five of those states rank at the top of the Brewer’s Association rankings. Wisconsin, Illinois and Ohio rank 10th, 11th and 12th, respectively, in the nation for their number of craft breweries. Bloomington Brewpub will celebrate its expansion Oct. 10 with giveaways, music, food and beer, according to Upland’s blog. The space will include a new bar, new bathrooms and a new custom community table created by local artisans Siosi Design + Build.

it published. The entire publishing process took a little more than six months. According to the Association of American Publishers, trade publishing, publishing of general interest books for adults and young adults, is on the rise. Books like “Mission Hills” amongst others which are sold to the general public are in fact selling, despite the drop in brickand-morter bookstores. “I didn’t know what to expect going into it,” Natalie Birzer said. “Everyone told me it wouldn’t really be able to happen. But for me, there was a lot of persistence and not giving up.” Birzer added that she doesn’t know exactly when “Mission Hills” will be released but said it will come out sometime in October. Birzer said she is excited for her friends and family to read it, and she is considering writing a sequel.

rities, and there are things everybody doesn’t feel comfortable and love about themselves, but just be confident and nice to everyone, and you don’t necessarily need to put on a front,” Natalie Birzer said. After two months of writing and four months of going back and editing her work, Birzer did not know what else she had to do. She then turned to Google figure out what needed to be done to get her book on bookstore shelves. She found out she needed to write an inquiry letter and then send that and the first three chapters to 50 publishers. The first publisher she signed with went out of business a few months after Natalie Birzer signed with them. “It was such heartbreak, and I learned the importance of making sure a publisher is reputable,” Birzer said. “I guess I was a little too trusting.” Once a different publisher showed interest and Birzer signed with them, the publisher’s editors went through her manuscript and sent it back for her to make revisions. “They found a lot of good changes, but it was definitely hard to trust them because I worked on it so much,” Birzer said. After she made her revisions, the publisher sent her a layout and then a copy proof, which would look exactly like the real novel once

“Monkey Magic: Chinese Story Theatre” will take the stage Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the Ivy Tech John Waldron Arts Center. The performance is being produced by Stages Bloomington, a local group that gives kids, grades first through 12th, music, dance and theater experience. The group formed in 2005 after a short performance and later expanded to longer ones. After these initial perfor-
mances, the group decided to give children experience, according to the group’s website. This weekend’s performance is based on Chinese folklore and features colorful short plays with comedy, adventure and tragedy. A group of children from Stages Bloomington will perform the plays with puppets and other props. The show also includes poetry, music and mime.

Plot twists galore As days pass, and the family becomes reacquainted, current personal dramas are brought to light, secrets are revealed and issues they never resolved are brought to the surface. Jason Bateman gives a solid performance as Judd Altman, the stoic, tight-laced brother struggling to keep himself together as his life falls apart around him piece by piece. Bateman’s dry and simple delivery suited the character’s tempered personality perfectly. But it’s a personality Bateman has played several times in “The Switch” and “Horrible Bosses.” He’s practically the Liam Neeson of comedy. Comedy queen Tina Fey gave her all in the role of Wendy Altman, Judd’s younger sister and closest friend. Fey was able to deliver comedy flawlessly. But Wendy was more than the sister with an arsenal of quick comebacks and masturbation jokes. Wendy
“This Is Where I Leave You” BFamily is complicated. If I learned one lesson in “This Is Where I Leave You,” that was it. “This Is Where I Leave You” is the story of four siblings, Paul, Judd, Wendy and Phillip Altman. They’ve all grown up and gone their separate ways into the world of adulthood, getting married, having kids and finding a career. When their father dies, the four are called home. The last request of their father is that his family perform Shiva. Shiva is a Jewish mourning ceremony that calls for all first-degree relatives to stay together under one roof for seven days. Somewhat begrudgingly, the four comply with their father’s wishes and prepare for a week in their mother’s house.
was given a deeper back story, but in those emotional moments, Fey’s performance almost seemed sarcastic. The plot of “This Is Where I Leave You” is complex. It is not your typical family comedy where everyone learns to understand and accept one another, and everyone gets a happy ending. The movie is riddled with plot twists coming from left and right field so fast, whiplash is a strong possibility. The pacing of the film is quick and so smooth that you never become bored or too comfortable. It is by no means a simple comedy. There are some deep, emotional moments and controversial issues that could lead you to question your own morals. You will definitely laugh, possibly cry and likely yell at the screen. You might not leave fully satisfied, but you won’t regret it. Lexia Banks
Not Neeson’s finest work “A Walk Among the Tombstones” D There’s an adage that is associated with cinema, among other forms of media: “You’ve seen one, you’ve seen ‘em all.” For better or worse, that phrase is pretty accurate for the most part. Whether it’s Arnold Schwarzenegger, Will Ferrell or, god forbid, Michael Bay, you know what you’re getting as soon as you walk in the theater. Liam Neeson can also be included on that list, as “A Walk Among the Tombstones,” his latest film, validates that claim. Neeson stars in the film “A Walk Among the Tombstones” as an ex-cop-turned-privateeye named Matt Scudder, who is contacted by a local drug trafficker requesting his services to track down the people who murdered his wife. As Scudder digs further into the grim and filth of New York City, he comes to the realization that this crime is no mere coincidence and
could lead to something more sinister. Based on the Lawrence Block novel of the same name, the film is an amalgamation of “No Country For Old Men,”“The Silence of the Lambs” and “Man on Fire,” minus the subtle psychological and emotional effect, dread and tension of the former two, as well as the gripping motivation for revenge and resolve of the latter, exaggerations aside. This is the result of writer/director Scott Frank’s indecisive, awkward tonal shifts, ham-fisted writing and flat, one-dimensional performances with a lackluster climax as an added bonus. That being said, there are some moments that evoke an ominous, intrusive atmosphere, undeniably credited to the surprisingly exceptional cinematography. The use of shadows, framing and appropriate editing complement the film’s more intense moments and make the anticipation for what happens next almost palpable. Unfortunately, these moments are too few and are thoroughly wasted by the aforementioned problems the film suffers from.
Referring to the phrase above, this is another Neeson outing, which is usually not a bad string of words when aligned with the actor. Whether he’s punching wolves in the face (“The Grey,” and no, that isn’t hyperbole), saving his daughter from sex traffickers (“Taken”), saving his wife from said traffickers (“Taken 2”) or saving an airplane (“NonStop”), you can always expect an exaggerated, yet somehow subtle, enjoyable performance from Neeson. “A Walk Among the Tombstones” is an exception (see: flat, one-dimensional). The most damning thing about “A Walk Among the Tombstones” is that it achieves a goal that no film, let alone any form of entertainment, should reach for. It’s bland. If this film were to be described as an edible substance, it would be like eating a rice cake sandwich made out of cardboard with a Styrofoam salad on the side. That part is somewhat hyperbolic, but you get the idea. Forgettable, formulaic and dull, just like an unmarked grave. How ironic. Dylan Corbeill

Dylan O’Brien and Kaya Scodelario star as Thomas and Teresa in “The Maze Runner.”
O’Brien plays a new kind of hero “The Maze Runner” B Nothing says “instant blockbuster” like the end of the world. At least, that seems to be the trend these days. “The Hunger Games,” “Divergent” and “Ender’s Game” are just a few of the sneak peeks into what a society scarred by war or epidemic would look like. And now ready to play the game we have “The Maze Runner.” “The Maze Runner” is about a group of boys trapped inside a giant maze. Their only safe place is the very center, called the glade. Some of the boys have been there for up to three years. Trapped in the glade, they build their homes and grow their own food. Every month a new boy arrives with a month’s worth of provisions. The boys arrive with no knowledge of who they are, where they’re from or why they’re there. The only piece of information they eventually gain is their first name. MTV’s “Teen Wolf” star Dylan O’Brien plays Thomas,
the newest boy to arrive in the glade. Thomas isn’t like the others. He’s curious. He wants to know what’s in the maze, who trapped them there and why. In a matter of days Thomas manages to change the game of the maze. A new arrival shakes the peace of the glade, the rules of survival shift and new enemies rise. O’Brien’s performance is stellar. He pushed the boundaries of the typical pretty boy teenage actor. His role was not that of a beautiful, brooding hero. Thomas is vulnerable, scared and curious, and O’Brien showcased these expressions and emotions brilliantly with every facial tick and stutter. Not a single dime was wasted on the production of “The Maze Runner.” There were a variety of camera shots that provided the audience in-depth views of the glade and the maze. Special effects were tasteful and not overwhelming. The sound design was pleasing. There were no melancholy songs with words to distract from the action. My biggest issue with the
film pertains to the hair and makeup department. We’re dealing with a large group of teenage boys living in little huts, yet they were all clean, shaved and maintaining fabulous haircuts. A little more effort in that area could have greatly increased the sense of authenticity of the situation the boys were in. The ending was frustrating. It felt as though the writers were rushing to answer several questions while trying to tease for the next installment. You’re not given enough time to process the scenes before it’s moving on to something else. I didn’t have high hopes for “The Maze Runner,” but I found it compelling. You’ll leave with many questions. And if those questions don’t drive you to see the next film, I congratulate you, because I will be going crazy for the next year. In the meantime, O’Brien’s career is definitely something to keep an eye on. I look forward to seeing him branch out of the science fiction world to see what he’s really made of. Lexia Banks
