Williams is rated as the 83rd prospect according to Draft Express and is projected to be drafted 47th next year. Williams is scheduled to graduate in May and flirted with leaving for the draft after last season. He averaged 13.3 points and 5.9 rebounds this season and helped IU win a second Big Ten title in four years and reach the Sweet 16. If Williams does leave, IU will have an open scholarship next season. “Coach Crean is always supportive and makes sure that you have the best information to help you make a decision like this, and I value his input,” Williams said. “I’m excited to go through this process.” VICTOR GAN | IDS

Return to paradise As he returns to IU to receive an honorary doctoral degree and speak as part of IU Day, celebrated “Breaking Bad” actor and IU alum Jonathan Banks reflects on his years spent in Bloomington. By TJ Jaeger TJaeger@indiana.edu | @TJ_Jaeger

n the mid-1960s, Jonathan Banks stepped onto IU’s campus. Having grown up on the northeast side of Washington D.C., he said coming to school felt like paradise. “I thought I’d come to a resort,” he said. “I thought this was the most beautiful place I’d ever seen. And you know what? My opinion never changed. I love this place.” Nearly 50 years later, Banks was invited back to his alma mater to receive an honorary doctoral degree. Banks’ acting career has spanned the past five decades. Recently, he received recognition playing Mike Ehrmantraut in “Breaking Bad” and “Better Call Saul.” Today, he is speaking at the IU
Cinema as part of the annual IU Day celebrations. However, his schooling at IU almost never happened. His grandfather highly valued education, he said. “He was forced to drop out of school in the sixth grade, while his itinerant preacher father went out and saved souls and made him run the farm,” he said. “Education was everything to him.” Eventually, his grandfather began working in the limestone quarries and helped lay Franklin Hall, he said. With the money earned, he said his grandfather paid for all of his kids to go to college, except for his youngest, Banks’ mother. After trying to put herself through IU, Banks said his mother became anemic.
“It was basically shorthand for that she was starving,” he said. Eventually, the University found a job for his mother with the Department of the Navy, he said. Growing up in the home of a single mother who was going to school, he said he spent most of his time on the streets of D.C. Banks said he wasn’t a bad kid, but the streets taught him a lot. After graduating high school in 1966, he was prepared to join the service with his friends, he said. However, after his mom begged him to try going to college, he was convinced to come to IU to study theater. “I wouldn’t have come to school at all if theater hadn’t been in my life,”

Jesse Eisenberg speaks on domestic abuse in Bloomington on Monday evening during a Q&A at Woodburn Hall. Eisenberg, who has just completed his “I’m with Jesse” campus campaign, has brought attention to the local non-profit Middle Way House. He said the dedication of IU students was a major inspiration for him.
Bussick said. “This issue is something that touches a huge amount of people,” Bussick said. “I had a friend in high school myself who was in a domestic violence situation, and I never knew how I could help her. I was blown away by

The blue lights are unevenly distributed, and campus-crime hot spots are far from the lights, according to IU Police Department crime data mapped by the Indiana Daily Student from Oct. 1, 2015, to April 4, 2016. There are 56 emergency phones that dial IUPD when pressed, according to documents from Building Systems, the campus unit responsible for maintaining the blue lights. Most lights are bunched in the southern academic part of campus. There are some scattered across the northern part of campus where most residence centers and apartments are located, but roughly twice as many are in the southern half of campus. More than half of the lights are in parking lots or garages on campus. Female faculty surveyed in the 1980s identified these areas as ones in which they felt particularly unsafe. The placement of the blue lights is inconsistent with crime trends on campus in the last six months. Crime tends to cluster around McNutt Quad, Wright Quad, Willkie Quad, the School of Public Health and greek houses. There is only one blue light in the northwest neighborhood where Foster Quad, McNutt Quad and Briscoe Quad residence halls are located, one light diagonally across the street from Wright and one emergency phone on the northeast side of the School of Public Health. There are no blue lights on North Jordan Avenue, home to many fraternity and sorority houses, and none in any athletic complex areas, including Memorial Stadium and Assembly Hall. Although IUPD does not have primary jurisdiction off campus, about 10 percent of the crimes answered by IUPD since October occurred outside of campus boundaries. No blue lights exist off the main campus, except for outlying IU properties and in the downtownKirkwood area. In addition to off-campus crime, much crime occurs indoors, usually perpetrated by someone the victim
Fundraising contest winners meet Eisenberg In the past few months, Bloomington women’s shelter Middle Way House has seen a surge in donations from all over the world, including a student group in India, a man in his seventies who had never made a donation before and hundreds of IU students. The donations have rolled in as part of the “I’m With Jesse” campaign, a fundraising partnership between Middle Way House and actor Jesse Eisenberg. Students who donated to the fundraiser met Eisenberg last night for a question-and-answer session and a screening of his movie “Zombieland.” “The students here were not just responsible and savvy in helping with it, but also incredibly engaged in the ethos of the campaign,” Eisenberg said. “They seemed to be doing it not just for the celebration of helping a local organization, but for actually building awareness and passion for the organization’s cause.” Students from the organizations that contributed the most money were invited to the event, including Kappa Delta, the overall winners of the student campaign.
