For senior center Collin Rahrig, individual success can’t be measured by numbers on a piece of paper. Nor can it for junior tackle Jason Spriggs or senior guard Bernard Taylor. There are no statistics to distinctly establish one as a standout from the next. As a collective group, though, the offensive line anchored an IU offense that set records in nearly every major offensive category during the 2013 season. The key to their success: five players working as a single unit. It’s a five-man operation at every snap, offensive line Coach Greg Frey said. “You need five O-lineman to block, and if not, you’re going to struggle offensively,” Frey said. “You got four guys blocking, one guy goes the wrong way and it’s minus three.” In Frey’s three years at IU, he has seen an offense go from one of the worst in the Big Ten to one of the best. From 2011 to 2013, it went from scoring 257 points to scoring 461, a 17-point-per-game increase. Last season, it averaged more than 300 passing yards and 200 rushing yards per game for the first time in school history. Spriggs said those new records set a standard for the coming season. “We want to re-break them,” Spriggs said. “We had a good season last year as an offense, but we have to have a better season as an offense this year.” “We can never settle,” Rahrig added. “Be happy with what you’ve done. This is a brand new year.” Spriggs has started at left tackle

Living Learning Communities welcomed unexpected guests this semester as some students were placed on LLC floors as a result of housing consolidation. This year, roughly 20 students were placed in learning communities they did not apply for. These students were placed in whichever community matched their requested neighborhood. This was a result of strategic consolidation in response to last year’s housing gaps, said Sara Ivey-Lucas, assistant director for Housing Assignments. Last fall, nearly 200 vacancies occurred across campus after the first week, Ivey-Lucas said. This is because of “no show” students. Residential Programs and Services was slower to assign lateapplicant freshman this year and quick to fill in any spaces left by cancellations, Ivey-Lucas said. RPS offers 10 learning

SHOWING IU STUDENTS THE WAY IU Guides answer questions, help students find their way through campus and the bus system By Anna Hyzy akhyzy@indiana.edu | @annakhyzy
With a freshman class of 7,708 and nearly 2,000 acres of campus at IU, the first day of classes can leave a lot of students turned around. That’s where the IU Guides come in. Clad in red, standing behind a long table, Matt Razek and Laura Slabaugh manned an IU Guides station outside the Indiana Memorial Union and Ernie Pyle Hall. “I was an orientation leader, and our program kind of continues into Welcome Week and beyond,” Slabaugh, a sophomore studying marketing and French, said Monday. Orientation leaders, he
added, are encouraged to remain involved in campus life after the school year begins. Razek, a second-year graduate student studying higher education and student affairs, works as a graduate supervisor in Teter Quad. This year was both of their first years as guides. After less than an hour at their station, Razek said they saw 20 to 30 students. “This is only my second year here, and I didn’t realize how many people would take advantage of it,” he said. Slabaugh said working as a guide gives her an ego boost by showing just how well she knows the campus. IU Guides are volunteers
IU professor to release, sign history book From IDS Reports
Author James H. Madison will be signing copies of his book “Hoosiers: A New History of Indiana” Sept. 17 at the Lilly Library, according to a press release. The book is a co-publication between the Indiana University Press and the Indiana Historical Society Press. Madison aims to answer fundamental questions about what it means to be a Hoosier and tell the stories of Hoosiers, according to the release. The book explores the history of Hoosiers, from the settlers two centuries ago to the present. Madison is the Thomas and Kathryn Miller profes-
sor emeritus of history. He has written seven books prior to this, according to Madison the Department of History’s website. Madison’s most recent book was titled “World War II: A History in Documents,” which was published in 2009. Madison’s research areas include World War II, 20th century American history and Indiana history, according to the website.

Both guides said they enjoyed their shifts. “I love answering questions,” Razek said. Aside from directions, students asked Razek and Slabaugh about how to put money on Campus Access cards and where to find the closest food spot on campus purchasable with meal points. While these questions aren’t for particular directions, both Slabaugh and Razek said most students they encounter are inquiring as to where a campus

Kentucky study to use data from IU dual credit classes From IDS Reports
IU’s dual credit program will be scrutinized this year as the Center for Evaluation and Education Policy begins to collect data for a Kentucky dual credit study. It’s becoming more and more common for high schools to encourage their students to take dual enrollment and dual credit courses not only to prepare them for college course loads but to help them earn early college credits, according to a University press release. “In Kentucky, there has been a recent push to think about how to support college and career preparation, not unlike the rest of the country,” said Mary Piontek, senior research associate at CEEP and co-principal investigator on the study, in the release. In 2009, the Kentucky state legislature passed leg-
islation aimed at increasing the number of students prepared for college and postgraduate employment. The study is currently underway at Regional Educational Laboratory Appalachia in CNA Corporation. It is designed to show how both dual enrollment and dual credit programs have been designed and implemented in six non-urban school districts, according to the release. The REL Appalachia supports the education system with practice-based research, joining with educational organizations such as schools and state education departments. Made up of 10 laboratories, the REL Appalachia is federally funded through the U.S. Department of Education’s Institute of Education Sciences. “The study will gather information about the nature
of the partnerships between districts and post-secondary institutions, the types of courses, the types of students enrolled, who teaches the courses, student recruitment strategies and funding sources, in addition to other characteristics about the dual enrollment and dual credit programs,” Piontek said in the release. Data collection will include phone interviews with stakeholder groups, demographic information about participating institutions and documents and materials related to the design and implementation of dual enrollment and dual credit programs, according to the release. Data collection will begin this fall, and the report will be released following review by the Institute of Education Sciences. Kathrine Schulze

IU geologists conducted research that could help restore at-risk freshwater river deltas. The study, “Optimum vegetation height and density for inorganic sedimentation in deltaic marshes,” reveals an intermediate amount of vegetation is the optimum level to stabilize river deltas. The study’s authors are assistant professor Douglas A. Edmonds and former postdoctoral fellow William Nardin, both in the Department of Geological Sciences. Nardin relocated to Boston four months ago, but said he is still working on vegetation and deltas. Edmonds said the study was prompted by the recognition of endangered river deltas, which are landforms that form at the mouth of rivers where they empty into larger bodies of water. “Sea level rise is threatening to drown the river delta,” he said. Edmonds said the presence of sediment — sand and mud — in the endangered river deltas is critical to the delta’s preservation because it prevents their drowning in the sea water. “Sediment is sort of the lifeblood of the river delta,” he said. Edmonds explained that when sediment is delivered, the positive outcome is that it will be retained in the river delta, and the negative outcome is that it will go right through the delta and exit to the ocean. “Anything we do to disrupt the natural environment limits the amount of sediment that gets down to the river delta,” he said. River deltas often house large and complex ecosystems and are home to about 10 percent of the world’s population, according to a press release. Edmonds said vegetation in the river deltas physically slows down the flow of water and increases the deposit of sediment. According to a press release, Edmonds and Nardin conducted 75 simulations with varying combinations of vegetation height, density and water flow rates to see how exactly vegetation affects sediment transport and deposition. Edmonds said the process took about a year and a half and the results were surprising, Edmonds said. “You might predict that the more plants the better, but it actually doesn’t work that way,” he said. Edmonds explained that if there is too much vegetation on the delta, the sediment bypasses the delta and stays in the river channels. Edmonds said scientists call the kind of results revealed in his study the Goldilocks principle. “You can’t have too much or too little,” he said. “It has to be just right.”

Workshop aims to help first-time home buyers By Tori Lawhorn vlawhorn@indiana.edu | @torilawhorn
Out of the 9,365 owneroccupied houses in Bloomington, only about 800 firsttime home buyers per year go through the Home Buyers Club workshop, according to City-Data.com. This workshop, created in 2002 by the City of Bloomington Housing and Neighborhood Development Department, is designed to help first-time home buyers. “It helps people understand how to buy a house, especially lower- to middleincome buyers, and supports with down payments,” HAND assistant director Marilyn Patterson said. “Having home buyer education is invaluable for a number of reasons.” Patterson cites lack of information as a potentially detrimental factor to the home-buying process. “It’s difficult to buy,” she said. “Lots of people don’t know anything about it so they get lost and don’t always make the best decisions.” In order to help the home-buying process for first-time buyers, Patterson said the workshop primarily focuses on credit scores, interest and loans.

The Bloomington Home Buyers Club helps prepare local first-time home buyers to enter the market.
“We want to be able to help them borrow more money, so we teach them how to improve their credit scores and eventually pay a lower interest,” she said. The workshops occur four times a year, two Saturdays each. The next workshops will be from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sept. 13 and from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sept. 20. Patterson
said every workshop usually reaches capacity, averaging about 28 people per session. Topics covered in the workshop include home ownership, developing a household budget, the process of purchasing a home and the mortgage application process. Each participant will receive a certificate of comple-
tion. This certificate will allow the participant to qualify to apply for down payment assistance if they apply through Federal Home Loan Banks, she said. Lori Abram, broker and owner of Choice Realty and Management, said most first-time home buyers she has worked with are at least somewhat educated thanks
to the Internet. “Most of them are more educated because of the Internet,” she said. “A lot of them look and research using online websites like homefinder.org.” Abram closes anywhere from 20 to 40 houses a year, she said. Her first-time home-buying clients are typically 25 to 35 years old.
Though first-time buyers do not have the experience that seasoned buyers have, they are not at a complete disadvantage, she said. “A first-time buyer isn’t any less capable than these two-, three-, four-time buyers,” she said. For those who do not attend the workshop, Patterson had one piece of advice she said she believes every home buyer should abide by: request a home inspection before purchasing. “I’ve heard horror stories from people who didn’t have a home inspection,” she said. “They’re always the most interesting to hear about.” Many volunteers that teach the workshops have shared their personal misfortunes, hoping the attendees will learn from their mistakes, Patterson said. “No houses are perfect and everyone knows that, even the new ones,” she said. Though this workshop is specific to Bloomington, Patterson says there are similar workshops nationwide. “I believe this is necessary everywhere,” she said. “We need home-buyer education all around the country. Any time someone can become educated in something foreign to them, they’re going to be more successful.”
2014 Indiana graduates beat national ACT pass rates By Tori Fater vrfater@indiana.edu | @vrfater
This year’s Indiana graduating class beat the national pass rate for every portion of the ACTs, according to a press release from the ACT organization. ACT administrators set benchmark scores every year that represent the academic level students need to reach to succeed in college. For example, the reading benchmark is a score of 22 on the reading portion of the ACT. According to the ACT website, act.org, students who achieve that score are expected to have a 50 percent chance of earning a B or higher and a 75 percent chance of earning a C or higher in corresponding first-year college classes.
In Indiana, 70 percent of ACT-tested high school grads met the English college readiness benchmark, compared to 64 percent of ACT-tested high schoolers nationally. According to an ACT press release, there’s an even wider gap between the proportion of Indiana students and U.S. students overall meeting the math benchmark — about 52 percent of Indiana students passed while only 43 percent of students passed nationwide. The ACT tests college readiness in English, reading, math and science. About 32 percent of Indiana students met benchmarks in all four subjects on the ACT, compared to 26 percent of students nationally. Nationally, about 57
Drugs seized after reports of shots fired on north side From IDS Reports
Bloomington police officers responded to a call reporting the sound of gun shots 11:15 p.m. Saturday in the parking lot of Country View Apartments, Bloomington Police Department Sgt. Pam Gladish said. The call reported a dark, silver vehicle leaving the parking lot after shots were heard. Police then pulled over a gray four-door Pontiac driving northbound from the apartment complex. Officers questioned driver Alexis Johnson and passengers Ronnie Burrus and Kyombe Bolden. All three individuals said they heard the shots fired but said they did not know anything else about the incident. Burrus told officers he had a small bag of marijuana in his pocket. Officers also found a Glock 19 magazine. When asked, he led officers to the weapon, located under the driver’s seat. However, the gun was not warm, which would have indicated it had recently been fired. Johnson, whose address is listed as the Country View Apartments, admitted to having a bag of marijuana under her shirt, which police confiscated. Burrus and Bolden were both arrested on preliminary charges of visiting a common nuisance, while Johnson was arrested on preliminary charges of maintaining a com-
mon nuisance. Johnson was also arrested on preliminary charges of carrying a handgun without a permit and dealing synthetic cannabinoid. Burrus was also arrested on preliminary charges of dealing a synthetic cannabinoid. The three individuals were booked in Monroe County Jail. At 2:45 a.m. Sunday, BPD received a call from Taiveon Taylor, who said they were “probably looking for him.” Taylor’s name was reportedly mentioned during questioning of Johnson, Bolden and Burrus. Police responded to the call at the 2400 block of Winslow Court, where they saw three men walking in a parking lot. One, they found, was Taylor, who fled once the officers identified themselves. While running, Taylor was carrying a brown case, which he threw under a car. Taylor was eventually stopped by the officers. The officers found the brown case containing a 22-caliber handgun and unloaded one magazine. Taylor had no answers to the officers’ questions and told them to put him in jail. He was arrested on charges of possessing a firearm without a permit and resisting law enforcement and was booked in Monroe County Jail. BPD is still investigating the shots fired. Sarah Zinn

Wonder Woman costume party We asked our Editorial Board about the superhero’s new costume. TRACY’S TURN
JOSH SAYS
Wonder Woman’s new bra
Reality vs. fantasy
TRACY JOHNSON is a senior in English.
Superhero movies command the attention of audiences everywhere. They are action-packed and filled to the brim with dazzling special effects as our favorite heroes save the universe from certain destruction. What’s not to love? Perhaps the way female superheroes are portrayed. There are many critics who have voiced the opinion that the new Wonder Woman costume and the costumes of other beloved female superheroes have been overly sexualized. The costumes paint the women in these roles as sexual beings rather than women with the power to save the world. But I don’t see why we can’t have the best of both worlds. There’s no reason why sexuality and power must be separate entities. It should be possible to advocate for pride in our sexuality as well as pride in our abilities. I’ve noticed women with a certain degree of power face multitudes of criticism when even the slightest whispers of a sexual presence arise. Powerful women should not have to hide their sexuality, because it is part of what makes them human. The expectations society has for powerful women are unrealistic. They are placed on a pedestal of virtue and chastity with a hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil outlook. But when these powerful women show a little skin or reveal themselves to be sexual beings, their pedestals are taken away from them, and they are shamed. Sex isn’t shameful. And neither is power. A woman should not have to sacrifice one for the other and neither should a female superhero. I think it is encouraging to young women to see female superheroes displaying their sexuality, without shame, while also saving the world. It shouldn’t matter if Wonder Woman wears a Wonderbra. She has confidence in both her abilities and her sexuality, and that is something to be admired. These female superheroes have the potential to be role models for young women. They can teach sex-positive values and trigger a social reform in which sex is no longer something shameful or unattainable for powerful women. DC and Marvel have brought these women to life who have lived only within the pages of comic books for so long, fighting crime, saving the world and just generally looking amazing. And they have brought them to life on the silver screen by endowing them with all the qualities that were originally given to them in the pages of their books. The sexy costumes they wear are only a part of who these women are as a whole, but their sexy costumes are closely tied to their superpowers and their world-saving abilities, which places the female superhero in a sex-positive position, bringing power and sex together in a positive and shameless fashion. johnstra@indiana.edu

What’s wrong with Wonder Woman Perhaps the most prevalent example of over-sexualization in our culture, redesigns of comic characters, are at it again. Wonder Woman will be featured in a new DC movie that potentially pits Superman and Batman against each other, according to CinemaBlend. com. DC and Marvel Comics have made a successful living on the over-sexualization of their comic book characters since their 1934 and 1939 founding. Their depictions of superhero anatomy can reach comedic levels of distortion. Bicep muscles the size of watermelons, breasts the size of bicep muscles. Although society is radically different 80 years later, somehow we still find our-
selves gaping at the newest redesign of one of the two comic companies’ signature characters. That brings us to today’s debacle, in which Wonder Woman finds herself as this year’s contestant for yet another waist shrinking and chest expansion. I’m not a prude. I’m also not one of those women who don’t shave their legs or shop because it’s “antifeminist” or whatever. I understand that in the world of market and design, female characters will be designed attractively. The same goes for males. However, DC and Marvel Comics have both taken this concept and gone too far with it. Wonder Woman is a female superhero. There are two parts to the title.
Yes, of course she should be designed and illustrated in a way that does depict she is a woman, but how in the world is she displayed as a superhero, a fighter of worldwide crime? The cape attached to her back and the insignia on her uniform does just about as much for her credibility as her left foot. She’s fictional, obviously. Many people out there don’t see this as an issue of great importance because, yes, Wonder Woman does not exist. However, the boys and girls who read these comics or attend these films won’t see Wonder Woman for what she could be — a female equivalent to Batman or Spiderman’s integrity and resilience — but a hot brunette with a small waist, huge boobs and a strapless swimsuit for a uniform.
CLAIRE MCELWAIN is a sophomore in journalism.
I mean, I wore strapless to the prom one year, and I could barely dance and make it in and out of the limo without adjusting it no less than 200 times. Wonder Woman sure couldn’t save the world like that, now could she? I appreciate the constant redesign of classic characters. But it’s time to give her an outfit and a realistically proportional body so we can all focus on the magic of her golden lasso and leave the sexualization unillustrated. cnmcelwa@indiana.edu

Mo’ costumes mo’ problems Superheroes have been a fixture of mainstream American culture for more than 100 years. Characters who dish out vigilante justice without regard to the rules of traditional law enforcement are popular in a relatively repressive society like ours, although less repressive than what it once was, of course. Superheroes’ costumes, on the other hand, can sometimes seem oddly repressive, for all that they are supposed to uplift their wearer. All superheroes serve about the same purpose, and that’s part of their charm. We know what to expect from them. They all act the same, but, more importantly, look the same: attractive, muscular, tall. And their clothing fur-
ther emphasizes these positive physical characteristics, whether they are male or female. One thing remains the same: sex sells. And when the majority of superhero fans are straight, white men, female superheroes are going to be scantily clad. But what exactly is wrong with that? Shouldn’t we allow women to dress however they wish? Or, let me rephrase, shouldn’t we not care about how a woman wishes to dress because it’s nobody’s business but that woman’s? Tight outfits with minimal fabric are the norm when it comes to the costumes of superheroes. The male superhero is almost always shown shirtless
at least once in all contemporary portrayals of superheroes, whether it’s a graphic novel, comic strip or a film. Female superheroes are less common, especially in the past when women were seen as less dominant and more passive, but they’re becoming more prevalent. Their bodies are just as perfect as their male counterparts’, and of course their clothing shows this off. One should consider that the majority of comic book and superhero movie fans are men, which helps to explain how the majority of superheroes in the past were male, because God forbid a man looks up to or aspires to be a woman. But this is changing. Society is becoming more and more equal each day.
RILEY ZIPPER is a junior in English.
Female superheroes are empowering to everyone, especially young women, as they see that even fictional careers shouldn’t be boys’ clubs and there’s always a place for women outside of the home.

The new Wonder Woman and her costume have been criticized as overtly sexual. Lady superheroes are supposed to save the world. How DC and Marvel depict them while still maintaining the integrity of the original character and her costume shouldn’t be a problem. The new Wonder Woman and her costume are sexualized — very few things aren’t, nowadays. It seems to me that sexualization is primarily criticized because it objectifies women. It, either directly or implicitly, suggests that women are valued only as sexual objects rather than as people existing in their own right. I don’t believe the sexualization of Wonder Woman does that. I don’t think she is somehow minimalized because she is wearing a skimpy outfit, because that is not her defining characteristic. Her defining characteristic is that she is a superhero and, while I won’t go so far as to say this is somehow empowering for women, it definitely doesn’t appear demeaning. The defining characteristic of superheroes in general is their physical form and prowess. I hazard to say the sexualization is more of a physicalization — rather than highlighting the sexual aspects of a woman, it highlights the physical aspects. In that regard, the physicalization places the bodies of superheroes on par with the bodies of athletes, in whom we admire the sheer physical talent. If we accept that, we have to consider that other superheroes are subject to the same kind of physicalization as Wonder Woman. Superman wears a tight outfit, and the Hulk goes shirtless. These physical aspects are not construed as sexualization, because they’re not. The public is primarily concerned with objectification and sexualization of women, even though men are sexualized as well. If we want to argue that Wonder Woman is being sexualized, then we also have to argue those other superheroes are sexualized. Then, if we do not feel compelled to accept that, we would at least have to concede that most superheroes represent an idealization of the physical form and, by extension, Wonder Woman’s figure is the idealization of a woman’s body. Idealization is not the same as sexualization. I don’t see anyone complaining that the marble statues of ancient Greek goddesses, who represent the idealization of a woman’s figure, are sexualized. The only way to determine if Wonder Woman is sexualized is to determine if the woman’s physical ideal that this whole society has, beyond what is portrayed on television, is sexualized. We have no one to blame but ourselves if the ideal that comes to mind is the picture of an extremely thin woman rather than a form similar to that of an Olympic athlete’s. allenjo@indiana.edu

for 24 consecutive games, including all 12 games his freshman year — an IU true freshman record. That’s just one piece of an exceptionally experienced offensive line. Only one of the projected five starters enters the year with less than two years of collegiate experience. Rahrig and Taylor each have three years under their belts. With that maturity comes confidence, Spriggs said. “I think now the biggest difference is the fact that we know we have the talent to be a good team and be a good O-line,” he said. “Now it’s the mindset of pushing that and being physical and getting our jobs done.” Not only did the linemen contribute to one of the most explosive offenses IU football has seen, surpassing previous records in total points, yards and touchdowns, they protected the quarterback nearly as well as any team in the Big Ten. They didn’t allow a single sack in six games and averaged just one sack allowed for every 26 passes. And that was with a broken line that lost then-sophomore Dan Feeney and then-junior Peyton Eckert to injuries during preseason camp. This year, both Feeney and Eckert return healthy. With

Consolidation is also due to the large freshman class, as well as the closing of Brown Hall in Collins, Gowin said. The students now have three options — to stay on the floor and join the community, to remain on the floor without being in the community or to request a room change in two to three weeks. These students will receive priority if they choose to move, Ivey-Lucas said.
them back, IU will not only have a solid five starters but the potential for a consistent nine-man rotation. Reserves Ralston Evans, Wes Rogers, Jake Reed and Jacob Bailey will add depth to the front line. “We have a lot of guys that have been out there,” Rahrig said. “We just need to keep pushing and seeing what we can do out there as a group.” Rahrig added that although it’s an experienced squad, the younger players who have only recently arrived in Bloomington are already showing maturity. With no glaring problems to fix before Saturday, Spriggs said physicality is the one thing that’s been emphasized over and over. “Especially for the returners, physicality is something we need to come back to,” Spriggs said. “You kind of lose it when you pop your pads in the summer, and it’s something you have to regain. “The other side of that is the mindset of playing physical and finishing through the whistle.” Frey has shown he’s not afraid to play several men. Last year, he played nine different linemen and experimented with seven starting lineups throughout the season. No matter which five step on the field Saturday, Rahrig expects them to play together as one.

Marshall Lewis will release his debut EP, “Higher Nature”, on Aug. 26 through Highwire Records. Lewis is a 19-year-old singer-songwriter from Bloomington.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 six songs. Lewis said the genre of indie folk has always influenced him and his writing, by showing his more personal side when performing. “Every song I wrote came from something going on at a time in my life,” Lewis said. “‘Higher Nature’ has a lot to do with maturing and what I was going through. During that time, I took a look at myself and my surroundings and just wrote about it.” The songs on the EP contain different uplifting messages that influenced him in high school. The album was produced by Lewis, using instruments such as the acoustic guitar, electric guitar, piano, organ
and banjo, and six musicians were added to help bring in texture. “The basis and idea of struggle is you just have to push through it,” Lewis said. “The song ‘Chapters’ on the EP has to do about the chapters in life from how you move from one way to another.” Lewis’ musical influences include Ben Howard, Bon Iver, Dave Matthews and the Roots. His love for their music brought the love to his songwriting for “Higher Nature.” The EP was also co-produced by Highwire Records owner and manager Kevin Flick. He was previously a vocalist, which led to his interest in audio engineering and releasing the audio magazine “Puddlegum” in
1997. “Marshall’s music is intriguing with the way he writes honest thoughts, which is musically what I enjoy,” Flick said. “He is really developing into a great songwriter. His songs really hit and touch me personally.” Flick has been working with Lewis since January 2013 and posting all of his songs on his SoundCloud. Flick decided it would be best for him to release his music professionally under a label name, and they started Highwire Records. “We just wanted to create a platform to release his music to the Bloomington public, since there’s so many great bands in this creative college town,” Flick said. Lewis and Flick have
begun producing his first full-length album. The record label plans on further promoting Lewis’ music to magazines, radio and blogs through grassroots and public relations marketing. Lewis will be promoting “Higher Nature” on Aug. 29 at Birdy’s concert venue, along with other artists such as the Dappers and Carey Goodspeed. With “Higher Nature,” Lewis hopes to send a positive message to listeners about how life’s struggles can shape them as better people. “There are seasons in life when things are coming down on you and you have a loss of what to do,” Lewis said. “Remember the truth, and hold on because things come in cycle and come through.”

The look of justice MICHAEL HOMAN is a senior in journalism.
Wonder Woman hit the comic scene in the early 1940s, brandishing killer looks to complement her killer moves. She became a cultural icon for young women and for everyone who enjoyed the objectivist theme underlying many a superhero psyche: be bold, brave and just. Fast-forward nearly 70 years. Wonder Woman’s mantra may fall prey to the most exhausted of female role model clichés. You can do anything you set your mind to so long as you look good doing it. What about law enforcement or “doing the right thing” necessitates being sexually anything? Why does a woman who fights crime or is dangerously smart and has a moral center have to look sexually appealing? Quite simply: because it sells. And until it doesn’t sell so well, strong female characters will always have to succumb to being sexy. But it has been done before. Take for example our Hogwarts friend, Hermione Granger. Before blossoming into the Emma Watson we know today, young Watson was just a kid playing a kid in a movie. And she nailed it. Young girls all over the world fell in love with Hermione for her myriad characteristics, sharp intellect, punctuality, independence and conciseness. But one thing Hermione never had to be to become an international role model was “sexy.” The Wonder Woman revamp could be considered offensive to all women, because for a long time it took DC to catch up with the times. But more important to the younger generations, as this celebration of hegemony leads them to conclude that not only can justice be sexualized, but that a woman using her sexuality as a means of fighting crime is more effective than a woman who doesn’t. Young girls, before being introduced to the concept of appearing alluring or sexually attractive, who have a naïve passion for suppressing crime, will suddenly be called upon to validate the franchise and buy into justice looking a certain way. A way they will come to know as sexy. So what’s the worst that can happen? Firstly, “doing the right thing” risks being typecast as an act only performed by beautiful people. If it doesn’t come from someone with perfect teeth, shining hair or a cleft chin, there’s reason to be suspicious and perhaps a little creeped out. Secondly, bright young women may get the idea that there’s nothing outstandingly immoral or unethical about that cultural anomaly — that outward beauty is something to aspire to but never to be achieved in reality. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to be pretty or handsome. I think it’s a healthy awareness to have of oneself. But not to the extent that flawless perfection is the only option 100 percent of the time. Because it’s not. Preserving cultural icons is important for a culture to see what ground has been tread and to show what paths have yet to be explored. But the challenge doesn’t come in revering old things past. It’s accepting them for their time and moving on. But I doubt much will change. We like to tout ourselves civilized and think we can put a female in a lead role and not sexualize her, yet Hollywood gives the people what they want. If that isn’t feigning civility, I don’t know what is. ILLUSTRATION BY GRIFFIN LEEDS | IDS

CHILLIN’ IN CHILE
Finding ‘the balance’ in one of Latin America’s largest wine producers One thing that doesn’t change from university to university is balancing a schedule between school, sleep and fun. Though I am a study abroad student and am currently taking classes, hence the “study” abroad part, I’m also in a beautiful new country with lots to see. So finding that balance has been an interesting journey. I thought registering for classes at one university was hard until I had to register for classes at three. That was fun. Now that registration is over, I’ve had ample amounts of time to explore my new home. Last weekend, some friends and I took a small trip to Viña Concha y Toro, home to the “Casillero del Diablo,” or “Devil’s Chamber,” where hundreds of barrels of wine are stored for aging. Concha y Toro is one of Latin America’s largest wine producers and is spread throughout major wine regions in Chile. We visited the headquarters in Santiago. The vineyard was founded by Don Melchor and his wife, Emiliana Subercaseaux, in 1883. Though the vineyard began with only a few grape varieties brought from the Bordeaux region in France, it now is home to several different grapes, which produce different wines. The winery is most famous for its red wine varieties, including Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenere. Our tour lasted for an hour, and our guide took us from place to place explaining the depth of the beauty we encountered at the winery. Grape vines stretched for miles. They were empty of course, as it is currently winter here, but signs located at the head of the vines told us what types of wines the grapes produced. When our guide took us to the main establishment, we tried three different wines. One of the wines we were able to taste was a Carmenere, called the Gran Reserva.

From the vine to processing, from processing to the barrel, from the barrel to the bottle, the wine grape begins its arduous journey already marked for what wine it’s going to become.
The wine tasted very smooth with various hints of berry. To get flavors such as strawberry, blueberry, etc., into the wine, our guide told us the flavors were smoked into the giant wood barrels in which the wine is stored for months before bottling to infuse the flavors. Following our visit to the winery, we ate at a local Chilean restaurant. The huge yellow building that housed the restaurant was styled to appear more as a comfortable home that most visitors pass by since they are enticed by eateries located closer to the winery itself. For an appetizer, I got local Chilean olives, something for which the region is well known. Decorated with various herbs, the initial bite was slightly bitter but morphed into a strong, yet
smooth finishing taste. Some of our group ordered “Pollo del Diablo,” or “Devil’s Chicken,” a moist piece of breast meat cooked in local Chilean spices, which tinted the chicken an unusual red color. The chicken was accompanied by a popular local sauce, ají. While somewhat similar in taste to sriracha, ají boasts a slightly spicier tang. The rest of the group ordered a traditional Chilean dish, choclo, a type of corn pie. Its name is based on the Quechan word for “tender corn,” or “new corn.” The top part of the dish is a sweet corn paste and the inside contains “pino” a popular Chilean filling also used for empanadas. Pino contains beef, onions and spices and is placed in the bottom of the choclo dish along with olives, slic-

es of hard-boiled eggs and raisins. The taste of the dish is an interesting combination of sweet and salty, as the corn paste is extremely sweet and the pino is salty and contains the flavors of several different spices. With full stomachs and content demeanors, we hopped on the bus back to the metro station, where we all went our separate ways home, most of us carting bottles of Carmenere, a wine that was too delicious for me.

Lowery to demonstrate pot throwing at the Venue By Victoria Lutgring vlutgrin@indiana.edu | @vlutgring
Rebecca Lowery, a local ceramics artist, will demonstrate how to throw pots on the wheel Tuesday at the Venue, Fine Art & Gifts. The Venue has been connected with Lowery for about two years, said David Colman, the Venue curator. Lowery is a ceramicist and will bring clay to demonstrate the craft of creating pots. She will also narrate to explain the process and instructions as she works the wheel. The Venue is a gallery where artists can show their work for visitors to browse and purchase. The Victorian-style building has five individual showrooms that allow the owners of the business to display a variety of styles, so everyone can find
something that stands out to them. “We also encourage people to stroll through the gallery to see what other work we have, as well,” Colman said. The Venue has housed some of Lowery’s work and provided space for her demonstrations in the past, which Colman said were appealing to different age groups. “Her demonstrations are very kid-friendly,” Colman said. “It’s a good opportunity for kids and people who don’t know anything about ceramics to learn how to do it and see what it looks like.” Lowery has frequented the Venue many times. She is known to be a professional in the art of ceramics. She received her bachelor’s in fine arts and spent four years in the ceramics apprenticeship program at
Berea College. After she graduated, she spent time teaching and working on her craft in Kentucky, as well as Maryland. “It was very well-received two years ago when she did it,” Colman said. “It’s fun to watch, and I think everyone else enjoyed it, as well. It helps promote her. We sell her work, but she sells her work separately, as well, so it’s sort of a promotion of her work.” Currently, Lowery’s studio is in Bloomington. Her handmade pottery is known for its unique quirks, and she displays much of her work at arts shows and festivals throughout the year. Lowery also offers private lessons to other artists and anyone just wanting to learn. Lowery’s demonstration will begin 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Venue.

IU coach Kevin Wilson announced the depth chart Monday, leading up to the football team’s season opener against Indiana State on Saturday.
Opening week depth chart announced By Sam Beishuizen sbeishui@indiana.edu @Sam_Beishuizen
IU Coach Kevin Wilson announced his week-one depth chart Monday in preparation for the Hoosiers’ first game at noon Saturday at Memorial Stadium against Indiana State. The lineup features seven freshmen as either first- or second-string, including five on the offensive side of the ball. Among the freshmen listed is a trio of freshmen receivers — Dominique Booth, Simmie Cobbs and J-Shun Harris — who have garnered praise from senior wide receivers Nick Stoner and Isaiah Roundtree throughout camp. “The freshmen are the real deal, man,” Roundtree said of the trio. “It gets hectic, man. We go fast. But these freshmen are definitely going to play, and they’re going to play at a high level.” Stoner said he was impressed with the young players’ ability to come in and learn IU’s complex offense. He said their transition into playing roles has been quicker and smoother than expected. “Those guys came in just ready to learn,” Stoner said. “They’ve done a great job learning, and that’s what’s going to help us. Because the less you have to think, the more fast that you can play. Those guys are doing a great
job of that, and they’re ready to play football.” Two starting positions are still undecided heading into opening weekend. At tight end, redshirt junior transfer Michael Cooper and freshman Jordan Fuchs are listed as co-starters. On the defensive side, sophomore Ralphael Green and freshman Nate Hoff are listed as co-starters at nosetackle. The backup quarterback job is also still undetermined. Junior Nate Boudreau has more experience with the offense, but freshman Zander Diamont is listed along with him as a second-string option. Next in line to replace four-year starter and current Denver Broncos kicker Mitch Ewald is freshman Aaron Del Grosso. As a senior at Hobart High School in Hobart, Ind., Del Grosso hit 16 of 20 field goals and was a perfect 42 of 42 in extra points. Wilson said he was pleased with how healthy his team was coming out of camp, but he noted that senior linebacker Steven Funderburk and freshman running back Tommy Mister will miss the entire season due to injury. “Fortunately, those are two positions where we’ve got six running backs on scholarship and a lot of linebackers,” Wilson said. “You don’t like it for those guys, but I think the team will have the depth to overcome that.”
Volleyball to air on BTN once in upcoming season From IDS reports
The IU women’s volleyball team will appear on national television once this season. The Hoosiers will play the Michigan State Spartans at 8 p.m. Sept. 26 in University Gym, and the game will be broadcast on BTN. There will be other chances for Hoosier fans to see IU volleyball play this season, as seven of its other home games will be broadcast on BTN Plus, which is a live streaming video service offered by BTN. The student pricing rate is $14.95 a month or $119.95 annually for access to the entire Big Ten Conference on BTN Plus. To subscribe to BTN Plus for only one particular school, the options are $9.95 a month or $79.95 annually for the service. IU is coming off having just gone 1-19 in the Big Ten. The year before, it went 4-16 in the conference. Overall, since IU made
the Sweet 16 during the 2010 season, the team has gone a combined 6-54 in the Big Ten, good for just a .100 winning percentage in the conference. There are three other schools of the 14 programs in the Big Ten who also have just one game on national television: Maryland, Iowa and Rutgers. The teams who appear the most on national television are Penn State, who won the national title last season, and Nebraska. The Huskers and the Nittany Lions appear on national television eight times during the season. No other Big Ten team appears on national television more than five times. IU begins its season on the road against Central Connecticut on Friday. Its first home game is against Miami of Ohio on Sept. 5, and it begins Big Ten play Sept. 26 against Michigan State.

IU Athletics Director Fred Glass announces changes to the football gameday experience Aug. 26, 2013, at Memorial Stadium. Glass was responsible for the IU “Student-Athlete Bill of Rights” that gives student-athletes more benefits at school.
Fred Glass is the Steve Jobs of athletic directors Faced with the unenviable task of taking over right after former Athletics Director Rick Greenspan’s resignation and the basketball recruiting fiasco involving The-Head-CoachWho-Must-Not-Be-Named (Kelvin Sampson), IU Athletics Director Fred Glass immediately made the department’s integrity his No. 1 priority. His attempt was to build the program’s image into something enviable and cutting-edge, just like the Apple mogul did back in the 1980s. It worked. Since Glass’ first year in 2009, he’s overseen 15 Big Ten conference championships and three of his coaches have won National Coach of the Year honors. Last fall, 94 student athletes earned Academic AllBig Ten awards. That’s a school record. He’s consistently adjusted to the ever-changing landscape of college athletics without losing his connection to the students and the community. He’s done it by providing an earnest voice for the department
and improving facilities campus-wide. So to say he’s been doing a good job would be an understatement, especially when you consider most athletic directors across the country communicate with lawyer-speak and are about as transparent and accessible as the director of the CIA. Fast forward to June 27, 2014. The IU Athletics’ official website announced a “Student-Athlete Bill of Rights” drafted by Glass himself, the first of its kind in the country. It lays out a number of assurances to prospective, current and past student athletes, promising a four-year commitment regardless of injury or performance, top quality facilities and staff and academic support. It also outlines an opendoor policy that allows student athletes to voice concerns and offer suggestions. There are a couple of things I love about this bill of rights, the first of which being that it’s a huge breath of fresh air.
The NCAA and its member schools have developed a bit of a reputation for shady dealings and a cold, impersonal stance on the athletes themselves in recent years, as sanctions for schools such as Southern California and North Carolina have piled up. This bill of rights removes all the questions and misconceptions about what a student athlete should expect from his or her school. It lays out clearly and concisely what exactly an athletic scholarship covers, how it relates to the student’s academics and what opportunities it can present. I personally found it pretty shocking that this document was the first of its kind in the country. It speaks volumes about Glass that he’s innovative enough to put Indiana at the forefront of this new policy of openness before other schools from across the nation. And honestly, that should’ve been common nationwide 10 years ago. It sets the table to deal with the changes the NCAA

is facing right now as litigation begins to loosen the Iron Sheik-like Camel Clutch the Association currently has over student athletes and schools alike. And in the end, it’s going to help bring even more top-tier talent to Bloomington. Recruiting is all about selling the program to parents as well as athletes, and positioning the school at the forefront of student athletes’ rights will set it apart from the rest by a wide margin. There’s no way that doesn’t help. Oh, and the free iPads don’t hurt. To me, it’s amazing just to be a part of a school that’s put itself at the forefront of an issue as big as this. And as a student, it’s hard not to be proud of that. aknorth@indiana.edu

Where are they now? Former Hoosiers attempt NFL careers Wide receiver Cody Latimer The Denver Broncos chose the former IU receiver in the second round of this year’s NFL draft with the 56th overall pick. In three preseason games, Latimer has two receptions for 50 yards. He made his first touchdown catch in a preseason game against the 49ers last week. With quarterback Peyton Manning’s main target, Wes Welker, out indefinitely with a concussion, Latimer will look to get more playing time going into the regular season. In three seasons at IU, the 6-foot-3-inch, 215-pound receiver made 135 catches for 2,042 yards and scored 17 touchdowns.
Tight end Ted Bolser Former IU tight end Ted Bolser was drafted by the Washington Redskins in the seventh round (217th overall) of the 2014 NFL draft. Bolser opened his NFL career with a seven-yard touchdown catch during the Redskins’ first preseason game, a 23-6 win over the New England Patriots. At IU, Bolser set career tight end records with 117 receptions, 1,337 yards and 15 touchdowns.
Wide receiver Kofi Hughes Nine days after being signed by the Chicago Bears to a one-year contract, Hughes was cut Sunday. It was part of a nine-man roster cut to trim the roster to 75 players before the 3 p.m. Tuesday deadline. Hughes has been on three different teams since originally signing with the Washington Redskins on May 15. Hughes finished his IU career with 132 receptions for 1,956 yards. He scored 13 touchdowns in 45 career games.
Kicker Mitch Ewald Late last month, former IU kicker Mitch Ewald rejoined IU teammate Cody Latimer when he was signed to the Denver Broncos. Ewald arrived in Denver as a backup, serving as competition for starter Matt Prater during preseason camp. Now, Ewald will have the opportunity to take Prater’s spot after Prater was suspended for four games for violating the league’s substance abuse policy. Ewald is 1-for-2 on field goal conversions. As a Hoosier, Ewald became IU’s all-time leader in field goals, field goal percentage and extra points. He scored 320 points in his career, second-most all time at IU. Reporting by Grace Palmieri
