OG Anunoby worked on his game long before the first fans arrived. After a strong freshman campaign, the sophomore forward was shooting 3-pointers before the first game of the season. In the first exhibition game of the year, Anunoby lived up to the offseason hype and helped IU defeat Hope College, 98-65, on Tuesday. The sophomore forward finished the game with 16 points, but the biggest surprise came from the fact he hit four of his seven 3-point attempts. The 3-point shot was something Anunoby worked tirelessly to add to his game this offseason. “OG spends as much time in the gym as anybody we’ve had here at his age,” IU Coach Tom Crean said. “If that continues to keep up, he will be in a really good place.” Sophomore forward Juwan Morgan knew that Anunoby’s shooting would help IU’s offense open up. “I think it’s been a real big focus,” Morgan said. “Just adding another element to his game, like tonight he was on fire. As soon as he got out there, he was just knocking down shots. When he knocks down shots, it open things up for Thomas (Bryant).” It wasn’t just on the offensive end where Anunoby shone — he continued his development on the defensive end. IU’s defense was in mid-season form as the Hoosiers held the Flying Dutchmen to 31-percent shooting. The Hoosiers’ length frustrated the Dutchmen all night long, finishing with six blocks by game’s end. However, Morgan said he thought the defense could be even better. “Not nearly what it needs to be,” Morgan said. “We had some lapses just as far as switch game and communication on that end. Especially in the first half, when we came out, they hit some pretty easy baskets just because of a lackadaisical mindset on our part.” With the slue of offseason injuries, IU hasn’t had all of its players back

‘It ain’t over’ Players Pub announces closure, but looks to reopen By Eman Mozaffar emozaffa@indiana.edu | @emanmozaffar

On their supposed last night of business, Players Pub was overflowing onto the streets. Loud voices drained out the clatter and tumble behind the bar. Waitresses weaved past booths and tables, hoisting trays of burgers and beers over their heads. Joe Estivill, the owner of Players Pub, walked onto the stage at the front of the bar. A hazy purple light enveloped the platform as he looked out on a full crowd. “This is hopefully not our last night,” Estivill said. The management staff of Players Pub announced Tuesday on Facebook that they would be closing permanently. After barely making enough to scrape by for two months, Estivill and his wife Vicki decided they couldn’t run the business any longer. The evening advertised as the last night was a Tuesday, which meant it was Blues Night. The James Plessinger Trio tuned their instruments and tested their equipment as Estivill gave a short speech. It wasn’t his night to work, but he showed up anyway to greet the regulars and his supporters. “It’s been borderline the last couple years, and we were doing well until last year, but September and October

sucked,” Estivill said. “We’ve made enough to pay off the crew and for an encore tonight, but we need more help.” In order to keep the bar open, Estivill and his crew launched a GoFundMe page, with a goal of raising $55,000. They’ve also started selling gift certificates, so the regulars can get some in-house credit in exchange for some support. “I’m optimistic we can pull it together,” Estivill said. His daughter, Marie Estivill-Kilmer, rushed onto the stage and grasped his hand. He waved, and was met with thunderous applause as he looked down at the floor and stepped to the back of the bar. Many Bloomington residents frequent Players Pub, and when they heard it was closing down for good, they showed up for one last meal as a commemoration of all of the memories they’ve had in the cozy, dimly lit building. In a corner of the pub, Kevin Macdowell and his 11-yearold son Sylvan perched over a high table. As they finished their dinners, consisting of a burger for Sylvan and some smothered fries for Kevin, they talked about the pub’s place in the community. Kevin played music at Players Pub once a month, sometimes more. He also showed up for the food with his son, who asked Kevin to take him there that night to support SEE PLAYERS PUB, PAGE 5

Students Against State Violence share protest tips By Lydia Gerike lgerike@umail.iu.edu | @lydi_yeah

When Students Against State Violence met Tuesday night in Ballantine Hall, the 24 attendees reached their arms out and tried to focus their peripheral vision on their outstretched, wiggling fingers. The exercise was part of the meeting’s purpose: to educate protesters on their rights during demonstrations. “No matter what, you’re not alone,” graduate student Billy Hudson said. Hudson used this lesson on peripheral vision to emphasize the idea of protesters being aware of what is going on in their surroundings. This included police officers, journalists, the crowd’s overall preparedness and the mood of the bystanders. He discussed both how to keep a protest running smoothly and what to do when the police become involved. “Curate an attitude that is as un-paranoid as possible,” Hudson said. He brought up a recent situation in which he said the actions of Black Lives Matter protesters were taken out of context. In a video that surfaced online, the demonstrators appeared to be attacking a car, but

the footage failed to show the vehicle trying to accelerate through the crowd. He suggested reaching out to the protesters who seem afraid, even if they are strangers. “Offer a drink of water, something like that,” Hudson said. Hudson also stressed the importance of the protesters sticking together. He said everyone should attend a rally with a small group and use the buddy system. This way, everyone has support whether they are just moving to a different part of the crowd or facing arrest. One speaker, who was not a student and refused to give her name to the group, talked about the basic outline for stages of arrest. As a precaution, she said that what she planned to talk about next might not apply to every individual the same way because police have been known to apply laws differently to different people. “I really disapprove of the onesize-fits-all, know-your-rights trains,” she said. In any case, she emphasized the lines between each phase can be murky but that each one still needed to be addressed. The speaker said the first phase, consent, means a protester has free rights to do and say almost anything they want. The detention phase occurs

once the police have reasonable suspicion, she said. She suggested protesters be polite and said they must provide the police with some form of identification. “Be nice, because you want to leave and you want to be unhurt,” she said. The third and final stage is arrest. Here, police can search for any possessions on a protester or in a bag, excluding only cell phones. During this phase, protesters should take full advantage of their Fifth Amendment rights. “Take this time for meditation, personal reflection, because it’s the right to remain silent,” the speaker said. She said after invoking the right to remain silent, a protester has to keep that precedent until they are finally able to talk to his or her lawyer, which is also part of his or her rights. However, a protester simply saying he will not talk does not protect any statements said after that.

ELECTION 2016

Bernie Sanders supporters look ahead to next week’s vote By Katelyn Haas haask@indiana.edu | @khaas96

With the election approaching next week, Bernie Sanders supporters in Monroe County say they guess they’re with her. Sanders, a candidate for the Democratic nomination for president until he lost in July to Hillary

Clinton, has not lost any love in Bloomington, though many supporters have decided to vote for Clinton in the general election. Mark Fraley, chair of the Monroe County Democrats, said Democrats are mainly backing Clinton given the choice between the two main candidates. “There’s a lot of people who have

been really enthusiastic supporters of Bernie Sanders who realize what’s at stake in this election,” Fraley said. “I don’t think most Bernie supporters find this to be a very difficult decision.” Sanders won against Clinton in the Indiana Democratic primary but lost the overall nomination. Sanders tallied 335,074 votes with

Clinton trailing behind at 303,705 votes, according to the state’s primary election results. Monroe County had a 35-percent voter turnout, with 15,166 votes for Sanders and 8,063 for Clinton. There has not been much movement toward independent candidate options. Fraley said during the summer

when Sanders lost the nomination there was some attempt of organization with the Green Party. Jill Stein, the current Green Party candidate, will not be on the ballot in Indiana this election. He said he heard of people trying to organize a local Green Party in SEE BERNIE, PAGE 5

IU STUDENT ASSOCIATION

IUSA president vetoes homelessness bill By Chris Mura cmura@indiana.edu| @chris__mura

IU Student Association President Sara Zaheer vetoed an IUSA Congress resolution to decrease panhandling on Kirkwood Avenue because she said it didn’t represent the community engagement and outreach IUSA should embody. “Obviously we care about the issue, but I vetoed it because that’s not what I would like for IUSA to be putting out there,” Zaheer said. Congress passed the resolution 21-3-1 on Oct. 25. The resolution centered on working with the mayor’s

office to increase student safety by addressing panhandling on Kirkwood Avenue and in Peoples Park. The resolution was partially influenced by an online petition written by an IU student that sought to find a place in Bloomington where the homeless population can have “proper shelter and care.” So far, 685 people have signed the petition. Zaheer attributed the passing vote to a sense that others would vote against the bill and that it would not be passed. She said members of Congress didn’t realize that their votes mattered dur-

ing the voting session, even though there were many fewer representatives present at the meeting than there are active members of Congress. “We thought that it wasn’t going to pass because we thought people would realize this isn’t the best thing to do,” she said. “It’s not as informed as it should have been. I didn’t realize that we had a smaller number of people voting that session.” Zaheer said the Congress members also don’t want to hurt other representatives’ feelings by voting against a bill that someone has put work into before bringing it

to the floor. “You don’t want to kill somebody else’s work,” she said. “Somebody put time and effort into it. People in the room just assumed that there were enough people to vote against it.” Zaheer said at the time of voting, Congress had already scheduled a meeting with Bloomington Mayor John Hamilton to discuss possible collaboration between IUSA and the mayor’s office to address panhandling on Kirkwood Avenue and in Peoples Park. She said she discussed with the bill’s primary author vetoing the bill after its passage. Author Mi-

chael Schommer, agreed to the veto. Schommer and the Student Life Committee plan to revise the bill to focus more on the well being of the entire Bloomington community, including the homeless population, instead of making the dominant issue student safety. “This was to address a problem that people often turn their heads to, which is the homeless problem,” Schommer said. “The majority of Congress supported the idea behind the resolution, however we now realize it didn’t really show the entire picture behind it.” In the future, Congress

members will undergo training on parliamentary procedure so that none of the representatives feel too intimidated to engage in discussion instead of moving so quickly to vote, Zaheer said. She said Congress will also bring speakers to their meetings, such as Mayor Hamilton, in order to discuss bills that would affect certain populations instead of assuming what a certain community wants or needs. “We’re trying to take this and do something productive and good with it,” Zaheer said. “It’s a nice reminder that they’re people, not just an issue.”

BLOOMINGTON FACULTY COUNCIL

BFC clarifies bylaw on liaisons PHOTOS BY MARIAH HAMMOND | IDS

Provost Lauren Robel discusses the Officer’s Report with the other Bloomington Faculty Council members.

A change to the Bloomington Faculty Council bylaws was passed at the BFC meeting Tuesday. The bylaw covers the election and duties of liaisons to school policy committees. By Bailey Cline baicline@iu.edu | @baicline

Council liaisons act as communicators, sharing information from the school that pertains to the council. Liaisons are elected by the Nominations Committee for schools with more than one representative, and those involved with the school’s policy committees are generally preferred. For the College of Arts and Sciences, the representative is elected from the college at large. This was made clear in the revision. “The primary purpose of the proposed revision was to clarify language,” said Colin Johnson, parliamentarian and chair

of the Constitution and Rules Committee. He told the council there had been confusion with the previous wording. In the revision, the role and election of liaisons is explained in more detail. Johnson told the council that concerns had been raised by representatives from new schools at IU about if the proposed structure is sufficient. Three weeks ago, professor Jon Simons requested to postpone the vote until a later date. Simons works in the College of Arts and Sciences, and because the revision specifically mentions this college, he asked for more time to speak with his colleagues. The

vote was postponed Tuesday’s meeting. “I feel in some ways I should apologize to this body in this was the reason we didn’t vote on this last time,” Simons said. “I wanted more time to consort with my school’s policy council.” Johnson told the council if the revision was not passed, the Nominations Committee would have to interpret the bylaw as it was written, which was the reason the revision was made. After a brief questioning period, the council voted and passed the revision. In other business, some of the BFC Standing Committee Chairs gave updates to the council.

IUPD makes 29 adult arrests from Friday to Monday By Emily Miles elmiles@iu.edu | @EmilyLenetta

Several young men in bicycle helmets lingered outside a house lit with a purple glow just south of Atwater Avenue. A few minutes before midnight on the Saturday of Halloweekend, they gripped skateboards and ranch dressing. “You tryna take a pull of this ranch?” one shouted at a couple on its way into campus. “Come on, take a pull of this ranch!” He raised the bottle of Hidden Valley above his head. The couple did not accept his offer.

With the pleasant weather, there were a lot of people out for Halloween parties, IUPD Capt. Andy Stephenson said. Overall it was a pretty safe weekend. From midnight Thursday to midnight Monday, the IU Police Department made 29 adult arrests. In the same time span the week prior, they made 9. The week before that they made 11. “My, my, simple sir, this ain’t gonna work,” floated from the speakers of a redglowing house a few blocks away from the ranch dressing. “Mind my wicked words and tipsy-topsy slurs.” The Glass Animals song

complemented crashing skateboards and police and ambulance sirens wailing from no direction in particular. They seemed to be everywhere. As Saturday ticked toward Sunday, a man in a nondescript costume that resembled bacon lay on the stone wall approaching Indiana Avenue on Third Street. A partially consumed bottle of Captain Morgan waited at his feet. “Hey, keep on going on, trooper,” a cowboy said to him. “All right?” As the Night Owl pulled up with its cramped contents of cats, Pikachus and the undead, a swarm descended

upon it. And off they went to countless parties celebrating the holiday that wouldn’t come for more than 24 hours. As the bus turned the corner, the students inside chanted something, muffled by one another, the vehicle walls and inebriation. Just around the corner, near the Sample Gates, a man emerged from a small congregation of bikers in cutoffs, members of the Cubs and various other young people. A voice from within the group heckled him. “Let’s go follow him,” the voice said. “Let’s go get that guy!”

That guy, in his plain clothes, looked over his shoulder as he hurried away. “He’s drunk,” a second voice said of the first. “He’s drunk, but he ain’t kidding!” Of the 29 arrests, 21 were attributed to the illegal possession and misuse of alcohol. Another five cited drug paraphanalia, and the rest included bicycle theft and beating a skunk to death. Shortly after midnight, as police cars and ambulances rushed around campus, the McNutt Quad circle drive played home to two delivery cars for Baked, one for Pizza X, one for Papa John’s and an Uber.

IU study shows change in attitudes toward bisexuals From IDS reports

A new study done by researchers from the IU Center for Sexual Health Promotion shows a change in attitudes toward bisexual men and women. Positive attitudes toward gay men and lesbians increased in recent decades, but attitudes toward bisexual men and women went from negative to neutral, according to a Monday release. Brian Dodge, associate professor in the Department

of Applied Health Science and associate director of the Center for Sexual Health Promotion, led the study. “That nearly one third of participants reported moderately to extremely negative attitudes toward bisexual individuals is of great concern given the dramatic health disparities faced by bisexual men and women in our country, even relative to gay and lesbian individuals,” Dodge said in the release. The research showed more than one third of male

and female respondents were most likely neither to agree nor disagree with attitudinal statements toward bisexuals. Nearly 40 percent of respondents said they neither agreed nor disagreed to the statement that bisexual men and women have the capability to be faithful in a relationship. In general, attitudes were more positive toward bisexual women than bisexual men. In the release, Dodge said bisexual men and women face a disproportionate rate of physical, mental and other

health disparities in comparison to exclusively heterosexual or homosexual people. He said negative attitudes and stigma could play a role. This study is the second of its kind. It explored attitudes toward bisexual men and women in a sample representative of the United States, according to the release. Dodge said he wants the results to show the need to decrease negative stereotypes toward bisexual individuals.

Between McNutt, Foster Quad and Briscoe Quad, 12 incidents were reported to IUPD, and half of those resulted in an arrest. Back on Atwater Avenue, a young man towered atop a porch at 1:30 a.m. and rapped about how he ordered fast food all by himself. His hype man wore a onesie and begged passersby for applause. A few blocks away, a pack of young women, some clinging to the backs of others, headed westward on Third Street. “Give me a sign,” they howled into the darkness. “Hit me, baby, one more time.”

Number of educator licenses up across state From IDS Reports

On Monday, Glenda Ritz, Indiana superintendent of public instruction, announced Indiana has seen significant gains in the number of educators earning initial practitioner licenses, according to an Indiana Department of Education press release. After recent years of drops in the number of initial practitioner licensees being issued, Indiana saw more than an 18-percent increase in the number of license recipients in the past year. “A great education begins with great instruction, and great instruction starts with great teachers,” Ritz said in the release. Ritz said she was excited to announce that after years of these declining numbers Indiana saw this significant increase, according to the release.

“With a majority of school corporations reporting a teacher shortage in their district, now more than ever, Indiana needs more individuals to choose teaching as a profession,” Ritz said in the release. “While today’s numbers do not fully solve the shortage, they reflect our strong state commitment and work to support the education profession over the past four years.” In 2012, new high stakes such as teacher pay were tied to student performance on inefficient tests like Indiana Statewide Testing for Educational Progress-Plus. ISTEP+ is an annual standardized test designed by the Indiana Department of Education to measure students’ mastery of basic skills, particularly reading, writing and mathematics. In addition, Indiana also changed its compensation structure for educators by

taking away local control and flexibility. The state immediately began to see a decline in the number of individuals entering the teaching profession. Ritz formed the Blue

when Ritz came into office, according to the release. “Before I was elected, Hoosier teachers were under attack, and it is clear that those attacks took their toll,” Ritz said in the release.

“While today’s numbers do not fully solve the shortage, they reflect our strong state commitment and work to support the education profession over the past four years.” Glenda Ritz, Indiana superintendent of public instruction, in a press release

Ribbon Commission for the Recruitment and Retention of Excellent Educators. After one year of the commission and Ritz’s advocacy on behalf of the profession, Indiana is now seeing an increase in its number of teachers. Many of the initial licensees in this data were likely freshmen in college

“Today’s numbers show that the first steps of healing have begun, but we have more work to do.” Ritz said she looks forward to working with the legislature and the next governor to ensure every Hoosier student has access to an excellent educator by systematically addressing the needs of the teaching

profession, according to the release. Between 2012 and 2015, Indiana saw more than a 34-percent decline in the number of individuals receiving initial practitioner educator licenses. The new data shows that for the first time in four years, Indiana has seen an increase in the number of individuals earning an initial practitioner license. The state saw a 20-percent decline from 2014 to 2015. Earlier this year, Ritz directed the Indiana Department of Education to implement the recommendations of the bipartisan Blue Ribbon Commission after the legislature failed to address the teacher shortage in a meaningful way during the 2016 legislative session. Since that time, the department has established the Indiana Center on Teacher Quality at IU using

a $5 million State Personnel Development Grant. This will work to increase the number of high quality teachers in Indiana by providing current and prospective teachers with support and resources to be successful in the classroom, according to the release. The department expanded its work under the state’s nationally recognized Educator Equity Plan. Since its development, the department has released updated guidance to the field in the area of teacher leadership. The department also awarded $24,000 in grants to educators last year to support National Board Certification. Due to the success of this program, the department has opened a second opportunity for teachers to pursue this grant, according to the release. Alyson Malinger

Local Democrats, Republicans release solidarity statement By IDS Reports

The Monroe County Democratic and Republican Parties released a joint press release on the integrity of the electoral process. The statement is in response to the Democratic and Republican Parties of

Wayne County, Indiana, issuing a statement affirming the integrity of the same process. “We wish to echo that sentiment and assure voters that our system of elections is secure,” said Mark Fraley, chairman of the Monroe County Democratic Party,

in the release. There is no basis to suggest anything otherwise, according to the release. Regardless, both parties wanted to show their bipartisan election board works diligently with poll workers recruited by both parties and early and absentee vote

workers appointed by representatives of both parties. The boards execute their tasks in consultation with the bipartisan representatives of the state Election Division, according to the press release. “Our unwavering devotion to a fair, open and un-

hampered electoral process is a profound source of national pride,” Fraley said in the release. “It is why we, as a nation, have had 216 years of peaceful transitions of power.” Although the two parties disagree on a great number of different policy matters,

including the best ways to make elections free, fair and accessible to all, the commitment to the voting process is unimpeachable, according to the press release. “Every vote counts,” Fraley said in the press release. Alyson Malinger

Confederate flag banned at Take classes that Bloomington high school transfer to IU! By IDS Reports

The flag will not fly. Student activism won in favor of tolerance and respect at Bloomington High School North on Oct. 26 after a protest against the use of Confederate flags at the school. BHSN Principal Jeffry M. Henderson said students are not to wear or display the Confederate flag on any item on the student’s person in a letter published for the parents and guardians of students. The controversy about whether or not students had the freedom to wear or have the Confederate flags surfaced earlier this month when students wore Confederate flags as capes during school hours. Many students said they felt unsafe. Some

even left school. On Oct. 26, a protest at the Monroe County Community Schools Corporation administration building had a group of about 30 students and faculty members voicing their concerns to the district superintendent, Judith DeMuth. After the forum led by the superintendent, the letter sent home to students’ families was read to the protesters. Henderson said the Supreme Court Case Tinker v. Des Moines established a test when schools have the right to limit student expression. This case established the standard that when students’ actions cause substantial disruption to the educational environment, the school can intervene and limit the stu-

dent’s expression, according to the letter. The letter stated the Confederate flag was banned from the school, schoolsponsored events and functions. Henderson said one of the educational institution’s main focuses is teaching tolerance for opposing points of view and civil discourse surrounding controversial issues among students. He said balancing the First Amendment rights of all people in a democracy is challenging, but doing so with teenagers can be even more challenging. “The safety and well-being of all of our students is always at the forefront of everything we do as a school,” Henderson said in the letter.

Is it a ‘rouguer’ nation? The mystery behind Indiana’s nickname

ILLUSTRATION BY MERCER T. SUPPIGER | IDS

Goodbye, old friend: A world without Vine We’re lost without our daily dose of six-second clips – R.I.P to the greatest app of all time Vine, which was acquired by Twitter in Oct. 2012 shortly before its launch, announced recently that it will be discontinuing its mobile app. The social medium was long beloved for its endless loops of six-second video content, which created the ideal time-suck for those of us avoiding homework or studying. It was different and simple all at once. The idea of an extremely short video looped repeatedly seemed almost too easy and therefore unattractive. However, Vine appealed to many users — primarily young people — for that reason. Anyone can think of something creative for six seconds. The app gave small-scale fame to some who became famous on a larger scale later. Melissa Villaseñor, one of the newest Saturday Night Live cast members, gained fame as a viner. However, the app has been losing its steam for a few years now due to other competitors

like Instagram so maybe it finally is time to lay Vine to rest. Some well-known viners like Obi Nwosu gave Vine up before the app even announced it was terminating its services. Nwosu, a current IU student from Carmel, Indiana, said he deleted his Vine account about six months ago. For him, Vine seemed more like an attention-grabbing competition than a platform for comedic creation. He said it was “nice to feel like people noticed me and depended on me for laughs,” but ultimately Vine’s tendency to breed vanity is what made him leave. That and that the quality of a lot of the content on the app seemed, at only six seconds long, rather cheap. “It was reductive. It took so many aspects of comedy — the vulnerability, the risks, the investment, the honesty — and zapped them away.” Though he does admit that the mere fact that Vine was online could have something to do with why the comedy on

there felt so lacking. “I generally believe that most everything we enjoy in real faceto-face human interaction is cheapened when we experience them through a phone app,” Nwosu said. So perhaps with the fall of Vine we may see some rise in the market for other, more human forms of comedy, like live sketch, standup and improvisation, or a larger quantity of video web content that is a bit longer. It is important that we do not dwell on Vine’s death; rather, we should celebrate the good times we had and the laughs we shared. Besides, Vine did confirm all of the pre-existing vines would still be available online. If you’re ever feeling sad or moody you can go to the Vine graveyard and pay your respects. Vine was a weird, small six-second blip on our world’s social media and communication timeline, but it was our weird small blip. Rest in Paradise, Vine.

A resident of Indiana is known as a Hoosier, but the origin of this word has been in dispute for a long time. Jeffrey Graf, a reference associate from the Herman B Wells Library at IU said evidence indicates that the term originated from the Upland South region of the United States, which includes Virginia, the Carolinas and Tennessee. Professor Robert Botne from the IU Department of Linguistics said the term was used in Indiana back when Kentucky became a wealthy state and many poor workers who couldn’t afford to live in Kentucky moved to Indiana. They were referred to as Hoosiers, which denoted a backwoodsman: a rough, uneducated and uncivilized countryman. The first documented use of the term in reference to Indiana’s residents dates back to 1833, when John Finley wrote a poem for the “Indianapolis Journal” titled “The Hoosier’s Nest.” The term later came into general usage in the 1830s, notes Graf. The attempts to explain the meaning of this word gave way to a large number of very creative explanations. Authors Robert and Max Aley explained in their book, “The Story of Indiana and Its People,” Joseph A. Wright, the 10th governor of Indiana, believed the word Hoosier was a distortion of “Who’s here?”. Graf said it may derive from the Saxon word “hoo” which means cliff, ridge, rise or hill, and therefore is related to the concept of mountain people. Another theory argued by William Piersen, a history professor at Fisk University, connected its origin to the black Methodist minister Reverend Harry Hosier, who lived from 1750 until 1806. There is also a theory, developed by Robert and Max Aley, that said it could be a mispronunciation of Hussar, a type of light horsemen established in the 15th century in medieval Hungary and later reused in the early 1800s in France and Latin America. This theory suggests that the nickname is a form of self-glorification, but it does not speak to the fact that in the early history of Indiana and of other states, Hoosier was a

pejorative term. More recently, in 1987, when IU won its fifth NCAA Championship in men’s basketball, people started asking themselves the meaning of the team’s nickname. Graf said among the theories that emerged at the time, there was one that said it derived from the French last name Huissier. This explanation tried to clarify the fact that the ending “-ier” is very unusual in English. After reading about the importance of France and its language in Indiana’s early history, and considering that almost a third of English words come from French, we should not be surprised that the word Hoosier might in fact come from the French language. But which French word? I will ask you to do a little activity: go to your computer or grab your phone and search for a translation engine or website that will pronounce words out loud. Then type the word “redness” and search for its French translation “rougeur.” Listen. Boom! As many of you may know, “rouge” in French means red, and you are probably also aware that red is a color associated with indigenous people, pejoratively called “red men” or “red skins.” This color has also been associated with poor white people by calling them “red necks.” Furthermore, a similar word in French is “rougeaud” which means ruddy, ruddy-faced person or blowzy. The word rougeaud can therefore indicate having red cheeks which could be caused by cold weather, physical labor under the sun, excessive alcohol consumption or simply because of skin complexity. Does Hoosier mean redness or red-faced? It is a possibility, and although the origin of the word is most likely pejorative, modern-day residents of Indiana revindicated the meaning and transformed it to be able to say with pride: I am a Hoosier. jorsanta@umail.iu.edu

BLOOMINGTON MAG

Sexual assault is inescapable even in a virtual reality world Virtual reality gaming is intended to be an escape from everyday life. Often, the games take place in fantastical landscapes, where players complete tasks and perform feats they never would have been able to do in reality. However, there are some nasty realistic things that exist even in digital worlds where you have to fight off zombies from castles and fortresses. Jordan Belamire, a woman playing the game QuiVr, reported she was virtually sexually assaulted within minutes of testing out the gameplay. Another user virtually

rubbed her character’s chest and grabbed at her butt and genitals. He chased her when she ran away and ignored her when she told him to stop — all within the game. The reason? While her character looked just like every other character in the game, other players in the multiplayer version could hear her voice. Her femalesounding voice. Virtual reality, or VR, glasses and gaming systems make every experience in the game seem as real as possible, as players control their characters with their own bodies and

see everything from a firstperson perspective. That made the other player — comically and almost too perfectly called BigBro442’s — groping seem just as real as it would have been if they were on the sidewalk instead of in the forest. Upon hearing about Belamire’s experience, QuiVr developer Jonathan Schenker instituted a “personal bubble” setting to protect players. Anyone who plays the game can set their ideal distance to maintain around themselves. If another player got too close to them that player would

simply “fade out of existence.” If only it were that easy in the real world. The biggest issue here is that there is literally no safe space from the threat of sexual assault. Even when you are alone in your house playing video games, someone can reach out and “touch” you inappropriately. The culture that makes it OK for women to be objects of these kind of inappropriate actions simply because they are women pervades even into a world completely different from our physical world.

It’s scary to think that within VR, often a mechanism for people to play out fantasies and adventures, someone’s idea of a good time is to assault a woman. Online, there are no rules. The worst that could happen is they may be kicked out of the game. Many have attributed VR sexual assault to the fact that gaming is often a male-dominated activity. But women ages 18 and over make up about 31 percent of the gaming world, according to the Entertainment Software Association. So the problem is not be-

cause there are men online. The problem is that people do not feel like their actions have repercussions online, even though they may still be able to traumatize others. Assault is not OK anywhere. Not at school, not at work and not in virtual reality. meickhof@indiana.edu @maggie_eickhoff

There is currently a Monroe County Green Party. “If you go down to Election Central, there is one homemade sign that says Bloomington Green Party,” Fraley said. “But if there is a group I’m guessing it’s just a couple of people, but there doesn’t seem to be any sizeable mobilization.” Fraley said. Robert Deppert, chair of Democracy for Monroe County, said he first saw Sanders speak at a convention in Fort Wayne, Indiana, a

few years prior to his run for the Democratic nomination. He’s supported Sanders’ efforts ever since. Deppert, an at-large alternate delegate at the Democratic National Convention this summer, said he decided he would vote for Clinton if the race was close in Indiana. “I saw quite a few polls that had Indiana close between the two candidates,” Deppert said. “I felt obligated to try to help the Democratic ticket.” Deppert ran as a delegate at the state convention and later was chosen as an at-large alternate delegate at the national convention.

At-large delegates are allocated proportionally based on the statewide results in the primary. He said he felt the Democratic Party did not have respect for Sanders’ delegates throughout the convention process. “I understand Bernie was not a Democrat all his life. You’re going to expect the Democratic party to lean toward a Democratic candidate,” Deppert said. “But in a primary, the party should never play a role in putting one candidate over another.

practicing for that long. Crean said it affected the defense as everyone was working to gain comfort playing with each other on the defensive end against Hope. “The intensity definitely picked up as we got more comfortable with that,” Crean said. “But, I thought our intent was very good from the beginning, which is what you want.” The Hoosiers’ defense buoyed the team in the first half as IU held Hope to 25-percent shooing. It wasn’t all smooth sailing for the Hoosiers offense, however, as the Flying Dutchmen remained close the entire first half. Hope capitalized on IU’s 18 turnovers, but a 20-5 IU run helped provide some separation and at halftime the Hoosiers

led 43-29. Hope remained in the game after half time, but once IU’s defense settled back in the Hoosiers were able to crack the game back open. The defense led to offense, as the Hoosiers were extremely efficient in the second half, shooting 66.67-percent and hitting six of 10 3-point attempts. Crean was able to get his freshmen significant action in the first game of the their careers, and freshman guard Devonte Green had an impressive night with 17 points off the bench. The Hoosiers finish off their slate of exhibition games Saturday against Bellarmine. “We just got to take it game-by-game really,” junior guard James Blackmon Jr. said. “Pick up on things from this game that we can get better and follow it up into Saturday.”

Estivill’s business. “It didn’t take much convincing,” Kevin said. Players Pub has music shows seven nights a week, with the set lists spanning all genres. Kevin said he enjoys playing there because it’s a place that is accepting and friendly. He and Sylvan also love the food, and because they said they feel it’s such a big, family-friendly part of the community, they’ll have trouble if they see it all end. “I hope it’s not the last night,” Kevin said. “It’s hard to run businesses, but we can all help Joe and Vicky to keep it running.” Estivill’s had music shows booked into January, and he said he thinks the turnout means they might go on after all. After seeing how many people showed up to support his business on what was supposed to be its last night, he had a renewed sense of optimism. As he stood outside of Players Pub, watching Marie run about and climb a lamppost, he greeted everyone who passed by. Everyone stopped to give him their support. A small group walked out of the alley, heading toward the main entrance. “It ain’t over,” they called to him, waving and grinning. “We’ll see another day.” “That’s what I’m aiming for,” Estivill said, smiling back.

He said he wants Democrats and progressives to have an influence in Washington, D.C, but he has not been as active in campaigning for Clinton as he said he would have been for Sanders despite his support for her. “I really don’t approve of her politics, but I also think Donald Trump is a lunatic,” Deppert said. “You got the choice between somebody you don’t trust and a lunatic, VICTOR GROSSLING | IDS you choose the ones you have Bernie Sanders fires up students at a rally in April.

Relics of

remembrance Offerings of crayons, tequila, Jell-O decorated Day of the Dead altar By Sanya Ali | siali@indiana.edu | @siali13

The candles on the large table set-up surrounded a myriad of seemingly unrelated items: a box of crayons, a wooden rooster, small bottles of tequila, newspaper clippings and drawings. These were just a few of the offerings community members have left for loved ones through the years for the Día de los Muertos altar lighting. The annual Day of the Dead Altar closing ceremony, which took place Tuesday at the Mathers Museum of World Cultures, signifies the final day of the altar’s month-long presence at the museum. After Tuesday, coordinators Rachel DiGregorio and Michael Redman box up the offerings and preserve the messages left for family, friends and public figures who have died. DiGregorio has a box of Jell-O at the altar as a representation of her dead loved one. “One of the highlights is seeing people come back and see things that they’ve left in the past and realizing that we really do keep everything,” DiGregorio said. “I was just talking to someone a little while ago who said, ‘Oh, there’s my green tea bags I left last year.’” DiGregorio said Redman scans the notes left by members of the community and places them in a binder at the center of the altar each year for attendees in future years to see all in one place. Some of the unsigned notes were short, with pithy messages such as “always in my heart” or “love never ends.” Some were written by adults, others by children

Sarah Hatcher, head of programs and education for the museum, said she remembers one year she was touched by a photographic connection. “I was giving a tour one year, and a little boy pointed to a photo on the altar and said, ‘That’s my brother,’” Hatcher said. Christine Marie Evangelista, a member of the community, said she has left several items on the altar in the past six or seven years. The most recent was last year for a young friend of her son. “It’s a remembrance and an honoring of their lives and what their lives meant to us who remain here,” Evangelista said. “It was always beautiful, but there is definitely a change, the amount of offerings on the altar and how many people consider it a loving thing to do.” In terms of the various items on display, DiGregorio said her offering of a box of Jell-O has meaning for the person she left it for, as do many of the other food and non-food items left each year. “It’s amazing to see other people who see an offering and know who it’s left for — that’s sometimes really moving, too,” DiGregorio said. “One of my favorite SEE DEAD, PAGE 11

COLIN’S CORNER

Dark jokes aren’t meant to offend, they’re meant to incite laughter There are few arts quite as controversial as comedy. Given the inherently polarizing and shocking nature of humor, it’s no surprise people don’t always respond well. Even the most renowned historical jokesters have been subject to criticism for their jokes, like Jonathan Swift was after his “A Modest Proposal” suggested eating Irish babies to combat famine and poverty or Mark Twain was for the racism within “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.” This legacy continues, even today. Off-color comedians like Louis C.K. or Anthony Jeselnik continue to make fun of anything and everything, but it seems the criticism toward this sort of humor has increased in recent years with

the growing politically correct movement and the push for social justice. So I’d like to present a light defense of dark humor. Now I’ll be the first to admit there are some limits to how far you can go with dark jokes. First and foremost, you can’t believe what you’re saying. If you’re talking about doing something terrible or perpetuating a stereotype, you’re assuming a persona, and in doing so, you create a divide between your opinions and the opinions that you’re spouting. This is crucial, and it’s what differentiates the racism in “Huckleberry Finn” — a commentary insulting racist attitudes — from the racism spouted by your Uncle Dave

during Thanksgiving dinner. More importantly the joke has to be funny. If it’s not, you’re just saying something disturbing, and there’s nothing to be gained there. This means telling these jokes is a carefully balanced art form. You have to be able to discern when your comment is too much and when it’s got that necessary bit of acerbic wit. A great example of this is comedian Michael Richards. To most, Richards is simply known simply as Kramer from “Seinfeld”. That’s because of his great acting on the show but also because of how his career faltered afterward. After Seinfeld’s conclusion, in 2012 Richards was doing a stand-up routine in a comedy club when some black view-

ers sat down. To mock them for being late, he started to call them the N-word as a joke. Realizing no one found this funny, he doubled down, trying to emphasize the fact that he was joking. The result was a racist rant that contributed enormously to the death of his career. Now this instance was not good, I completely agree. Richards misjudged the situation and, in doing so, said things that were awful and unfunny. Admittedly, it’s a fine line between “Oh my god, that’s hilarious” and “I’m calling the bias response team.” In telling these jokes, you have to judge your audience and gauge their reaction. While Richards didn’t have intent to be racist, he wasn’t

funny, and that’s what matters when telling this sort of joke. Much like an Allen Ginsberg poem, not everyone enjoys dark humor, and that’s fine, I’m not telling you what to like or dislike. My only request is pointed towards the social justice community. The next time you hear someone tell an offensive joke, ask yourself “Do they actually believe this?” and “Was it clever?” If both are true, realize they’re not insulting or targeting anyone. It’s not about racism, 9-11 or Princess Diana. It’s about comedy. ctdombro@indiana.edu @DoctorThaddeus

BUT THAT’S NOT MY BUSINESS

Are millennials using social media sites wisely and effectively? Chances are, you’re a social media user. Whether it’s Instagram, Twitter or Facebook or something else, you may have a profile or two. It’s nothing to be ashamed of, but there are a few things to be weary about. Are social media sites taking over the world? Is the electronic apocalypse about to commence? No, they aren’t. At least not that I know of. However, the generations before us may think differently. Now, I personally don’t see anything wrong with being a part of Tumblr, Instagram, Twitter or Facebook. If you want to post your daily adventures on Snapchat, that’s perfectly fine. It’s the equiva-

lent of our parents taking Polaroids. As young people, we’ve witnessed this rise since its inception roughly a decade ago. By the time we got into high school, Snapchat, Twitter and Instagram were just starting to become popular. Crazy, right? I grew up with parents who didn’t want me to constantly be online. I wasn’t superglued to my phone at the family dinner table, and I wasn’t posting a new status on Facebook every 20 minutes. If you’re one of those people, that’s perfectly fine. To each their own. Social media allows us to justifiably waste time. I know sometimes when I should be doing homework,

social media lets me procrastinate even more than I already have. The effects of social media on college students were studied in a research paper by Qingya Wang, Wei Chen and Yu Liang of Johnson & Wales UniversityProvidence. In the study, 35 percent of subjects were undergraduate students and the rest were graduate students at the university. Out of those participants, 45 percent admitted to spending between six and eight hours per day checking social media sites. That seems crazy to me, and it gets even crazier. In the same study, 23 percent of the students said that they spent more than

eight hours per day on social media. That’s equivalent to the time spent at a full-time job. I had no idea people spent that much time on social media. It’s none of my business what you choose to do with your time, but are we, as a generation, using it wisely? Maybe our coursework or jobs would go better if we spent a week not having any access to social media. Especially if we spend this much time consuming it. Personally, I think I spend less than two hours per day on social media. However, I do spend several hours per day listening to a YouTube channel in the background of my homework and while I’m

sleeping. Are those hours included in the aforementioned study? If they are, then I suppose I fall into this category of heavy social media users. If you aren’t harming or bullying anyone and you’re happy with your life, then you keep on being you and doing what you do. I don’t think our generation should be ostracized for taking advantage of the technology available to us. Do whatever you’d like. It’s not my business. bnbauern@indiana.edu

FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH

The Comey controversy won’t have an effect on the election outcome In the wake of FBI Director James Comey’s untimely decision to announce his intention to conduct an investigation into newly discovered emails related to Hillary Clinton’s use of a private server, Democrats are up in arms about what seems to be a politically-charged action that some believe could change the course of the election. The hoopla surrounding the reignited controversy, though, is overblown. Those who detest Hillary Clinton won’t detest her any more than they already do, and those who say #ImWithHer will continue to stand by their candidate. According to Comey’s critics, the announcement directly violates a longstanding unwritten rule that states the FBI must abstain from making these types of disclosures within the last two months of an election

unless charges are imminent. This is in place to remove the possibility of such a disclosure influencing an election outcome, as critics contend will be the case in this situation. However, Donald Trump supporters who were salivating over the thought of a letter rife with evidence of Clinton’s savage criminal intent were disappointed. The FBI was not even sure “whether or not this material may be significant,” and left open a very real possibility that these emails, contained on a computer belonging to former United States Representative from New York and serial sexter Anthony Weiner, could be nothing more than duplicate emails that have already been examined. So why the fuss? To those who viewed Clinton as a corrupt career politician, she remains a corrupt career

politician. To the huge number of begrudging Clinton supporters, she’s still better than Donald Trump. As part of his testimony after the initial investigation into Clinton’s doings, Comey pledged to inform Congress of any new developments in the case. In doing so he made it explicitly clear the new material may or may not be utterly useless. During the investigation, the FBI failed to identify evidence of a criminal motive on the part of Clinton. There’s no reason to believe this will change with the new findings. To those who whine of Comey’s adherence to his pledge, what was the alternative? Waiting until after President Clinton is inaugurated in January to announce the new developments or, worse, having details of the renewed investigation leak to the public?

Were either of these scenarios to occur, the reaction would be magnified — even the possibility that incriminating evidence was discovered prior to the election would enrage conservatives, who would rally behind a perceived liberal conspiracy to elect a criminal. Republicans in Congress would refuse to cooperate, and what started out as a probably harmless examination of new evidence has now become a huge scandal that seriously undermines Clinton’s ability to lead. According to a POLITICO/Morning Consult poll taken this weekend, Clinton’s and Trump’s shares of support proved to be largely unchanged by Friday’s revelations. Clinton’s 3-point lead in the four-way race remained the same, and her lead in a head-tohead matchup with Trump shrank from 5 points to 3

points. The poll’s margin of error is 2 points. Nearly 40 percent of all voters said the events had no effect either way on their vote. Around one-third said it made them much less likely to support Clinton, but many voters in this group already despised her to begin with. This late in the game, it’s doubtful an issue like this will change the election’s outcome. Comey’s nebulous letter to Congress was not rich with detail, but I’m able to extract a few certainties — those who stood by Trump and Clinton will probably continue to do so. dkill@indiana.edu @daniel_kilc_

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

STEVE’S CONSERVATIVE CORNER

Expect a Young victory STEVEN ARANYI is a senior in history.

The Indiana Senate race is a pure toss-up. When Evan Bayh entered the race July 11, this was unthinkable. Up 21 points in an internal poll, Bayh seemed to be on course for an easy victory. By Monday, this lead had been entirely erased. Bayh and his challenger, Rep. Todd Young, R-9th District, are even, and the Young campaign has the momentum going into the last week of the campaign. Young has been absolutely relentless in his charge back from certain defeat. It would have been naïve to assume the spread would have remained at 21 points. However, it’s still quite impressive that Young has bridged the gap. This has happened because Young’s campaign has controlled the campaign’s narrative and has capitalized on negative media coverage of Bayh’s scandals. Bayh has been embroiled in numerous scandals, including, but not limited to, using $200,000 of taxpayer funds for personal travel, a votes-for-hire scandal, being an inactive voter in Indiana and more. Bayh wouldn’t have even attained in-state status if he were a student at IU. Even worse, he didn’t even know his address in Indiana. To add to Bayh’s conundrum, he claims he never left Indiana. It turns out that he did. As a member of the House of Representatives, Young has also been a great advocate for the constituents of the 9th District. By proposing good legislation, such as the Act and fighting for the repeal of the medical device tax, which killed hundreds of jobs in the district, Young is a true civil servant. Bear in mind that Bayh cast the deciding vote for the law that killed those jobs. Bayh passed a measly two bills in his 12 years in Senate. Voters deserve to know about these facts before casting their vote at the ballot box, and Young’s team has ensured they are well aware. The Bayh family is a political dynasty in Indiana, and the Young campaign has absolutely dismantled Evan’s positive image. To add to Bayh’s scandalladen campaign, Young’s ground game has been far superior to Bayh’s. This will be absolutely key to an Election Day victory for Young. The Bayh campaign is in absolute turmoil. With almost no momentum going into the final week of the election, I can’t foresee any scenario in which Bayh blows out Young. There is no question that the race is extremely close. I predict whoever wins will do so by no more than two points. However, I believe Young will be victorious. The baggage Bayh carries with him is simply too heavy for him to pull this out. With less than a week to go, there is little time to turn things around. On Monday, a new article from CNN said Bayh had his campaign fundraiser sit in on official meetings with lobbyists, corporate executives and campaign contributors in his Senate office, a severe ethics and campaign finance violation. Hoosiers deserve better than Bayh, and that’s what they will get on Election Day. Young will serve Hoosiers admirably, just like he served the constituents of the 9th District for the past six years. staranyi@indiana.edu @TweetsByAranyi

Overall effort aids turnaround year for Hoosiers By Cameron Drummond cpdrummo@iu.edu | @cdrummond97

The concept of experience was a motif for the IU women’s soccer team this season. Whether it was used in highlighting the youth of a team that included 11 true freshmen, or when discussing the leadership offered by the team’s three seniors, experience at the collegiate level was a defining factor for IU. However, IU Coach Amy Berbary said she feels the experience gained by this year’s team will only be to its benefit in future seasons. “We are only losing three players and remaining with 24 from this year’s team, which is pretty rare,” Berbary said. “We need to run with that this offseason. We were very young this season, and with experience, things begin to happen.” To a significant extent, big changes already occurred within the program this season. After winning three conference games in 2014 and zero last season, the Hoosiers responded with a 4-4-3 record in Big Ten regular season play. This represented the most conference wins for IU since 2013, the last time IU reached the Big Ten Tournament before this season. It took contributions from nearly every member of IU to reach the Big Ten postseason as the final seed. Sophomore forward Mykayla Brown recovered from an ACL injury last season to score eight goals. Freshman defender Meghan Scott, one of three freshmen to play in all 20 matches for IU, starred in her role as the team’s set-piece specialist and led the team with seven assists. The most noticeable performance from an incoming player came at the goalkeeper position. Freshman Sarah L’Hommedieu beat out freshman Bristal Hadley-Mautino for the starting job early in the

season and showed no signs of relinquishing it. L’Hommedieu tallied 93 saves, the most saves of any goalkeeper in the Big Ten through the first round of the conference tournament. Despite this, Berbary said she feels it was the difference made by each of the team’s three seniors that helped make a return to the postseason a reality. “Our seniors have set such an example on the field and off the field,” Berbary said. “They’ve set the bar very high. Their leadership has been incredible, and the younger kids want to emulate that.” Berbary’s praise for IU’s seniors, defender Marissa Borschke, midfielder Veronica Ellis and defender Ari Kowalski, comes as a result of the commitment they showed to her and the IU program. This senior class was the first to be coached exclusively by Berbary after her appointment in February 2013. As such, those three experienced both the highs and lows of the team during their time as Hoosiers, although Berbary knows they will always be a part of the program. “Marissa, V and Ari will be watching from afar for sure,” Berbary said. “Whether they’ve known it or not, they’ve left such a lasting impression.” Ultimately, it was a combination of the guidance from IU’s veteran players and the spark from its newcomers that allowed the team to thrive in Berbary’s fourth year as coach. Given the amount of youth on the team, its transformation into a Big Ten Tournament team after being selected to finish 12th in the conference was a sizeable achievement for Berbary and her staff. With many players from this year’s group returning next season, things are looking up for the Hoosiers. “The future is bright,” Berbary said.

MEN’S SOCCER

McConnell still at the forefront of IU’s defense By Josh Eastern jeastern@iu.edu | @JoshEastern

IU senior defender Billy McConnell has flown under the radar during his last season in Bloomington. McConnell has had quite the senior season. He has just one goal, but he paid the price for it. The IU right back scored against Michigan on Sept. 14 and had his ankle stepped on by a UM defender, which made him miss a few matches. Through all of that, McConnell has brought a certain sense of consistency to this team. With IU’s success, he says it’s been all good, but has yet to get back to 100 percent. “It’s been up and down,” McConnell said. “With injuries, my ankle is not fully healed, and I still have tape on it. Everyone has been working their tails off, so it’s been hard work. So far, it’s been good.” McConnell has been a staple in IU’s backline since arriving in Bloomington as a freshman in 2013. He made eight starts that year and has had more every year except for this season, because of injury. Nonetheless, McConnell will be missed after this year. IU Coach Todd Yeagley had nothing but praise for his senior right back. “He brings a lot of experience, and he’s very tough. He’s one of our best defenders,” Yeagley said. “He brings a presence to our team and continues to get better every year with his distribution and his technical side of his game and that’s shown this year. The injury was not great time, right in the middle. When he’s not on the field, we miss qualities that he brings to our team.” IU had its Senior Day celebration Sunday in the win against Michigan State. With that win, the team gets to play one more game at home. McConnell said it will be tough to say goodbye to a

field he has called home for four seasons. Sunday’s match against Northwestern will be the last match of the season at Jerry Yeagley Field. “Oh man, it’s going to be a sad one, but it’s going to be exciting,” McConnell said. “We’re going to hopefully end on a good note.” Another memorable day came Sept. 4, a day that even made Deadspin. The Hoosiers were taking on defending national champion Stanford Cardinals at home. The game ended in a 0-0 draw, but things got out of hand for a moment. The game was physical throughout, and the Hoosiers had gone down to 10 men because of IU junior defender Grant Lillard’s second yellow card. With the physicality came a shot below the waist from Stanford player Foster Langsdorf on McConnell. It was a bush-league shot, but the senior kept his cool. “A lot of different things, like maybe I should get up and punch this kid in the face,” McConnell said. “Throughout the years, coaches have told me to keep your cool and don’t retaliate because you’re always going to be the one that gets a card for retaliating.” That moment was just part of the crazy season it has been for McConnell. When he was out, the Hoosiers stayed afloat, but something seemed to be missing. The senior brings a lot to the team that doesn’t always show up in the box score. Yeagley called this senior class eclectic and will miss the experience a few of them bring from winning it all. “This is a really fun group,” Yeagley said. They are all pretty different. I like that. You try to recruit some of those qualities. The one consistent thing is that they’ve really put the program in a good place for the time that they have been here, and that’s what I’m proud of.”

Junior running back Devine Redding, seen here in action against Maryland, has had a reliable backup in Mike Majette for the past two years.

Stability key in IU backfield By Taylor Lehman trlehman@indiana.edu @TaylorRLehman

In October 2015, IU Coach Kevin Wilson called upon running backs Coach Deland McCullough for another reliable back. Former Hoosier Jordan Howard was injured two weeks before Homecoming and left IU’s matchup with Penn State early due to the same injury. The Hoosiers needed a change-of-pace running back as Rutgers was visiting Bloomington with thensophomore Devine Redding as the only consistent running back with experience on the roster. McCullough responded with No. 24, Mike Majette. “You recruit the guys that fit a certain personality, intellect and toughness,” McCullough said. “That’s why when the situation came up last year when (Wilson) was like, ‘Hey, who would you be interested in bringing in?’ I knew it would be Mike.” Then a freshman from

Woodbridge, Virginia, all anyone knew about Majette was that his name matched his skillset. He was fast, shifty — like a jet. The freshman saw his first action on the field against Rutgers, and the Hoosiers went right to him. He ran for 11 yards. Then five yards. Then a reception for eight. IU kicked a field goal on that drive before losing to Rutgers, 55-52, in historic fashion. Majette recorded 118 total yards and a receiving touchdown. Majette gave Hoosier fans an exciting playmaker out of the backfield with a skillset Howard and Redding didn’t have. He saw more action throughout the season and finished with 181 rushing yards and 44 receiving yards. Through eight games this season, Majette already has 180 yards rushing and 87 yards receiving. McCullough said Majette is a good example of a running back who took advantage of the opportunity that was given to him

in 2015 and created a spot for himself in the backfield for 2016. “They know it’s a perpetually expanding role,” McCullough said. “It never is, ‘Man, coach, I’ve been here four years, and all I’ve been is a guy that gets 10 plays a game.’ That’ll never happen. Everybody gets more, more, more, more.” Everybody wants more. This season, Redding has taken the majority of the carries, redshirt freshman Devonte Williams has returned from injury and true freshman Tyler Natee has been featured in his own package for his 275-pound frame. Touches have become scarce for the running backs, such as sophomore Alex Rodriguez and sophomore Ricky Brookins, of last season. It’s been tough for Majette to get his touches too. “Sometimes it’s just circumstances,” McCullough said. “I talked to that whole room. I said, ‘You’re slated to go in there, and you may go

in, and we go three-and-out. That’s the set.” McCullough said it’s not that the Hoosiers are designing running backs out of touches, it’s just that assigned drives may not be as successful for one running back as they are for others. “That’s the luck of football,” McCullough said. The coaching staff knows the skillset of Majette and his teammates in the running back room, McCullough said. It’s shown, as five Hoosiers scored rushing touchdowns against Maryland last week, an occurrence that is believed to have never happened in IU football history. For Majette — who ran for 45 yards on five carries and caught one ball for 11 yards against Maryland — the coaching staff is still trying to determine the sophomore’s highest potential. “His skill set is still a highend set,” McCullough said. “It’s just maybe packaging it up the right way and doing different things and then ultimately getting more opportunities for him.”

Two Hoosiers earn Big Ten honors From IDS reports

IU senior midfielder Tanner Thompson and senior goalkeeper Christian Lomeli has been named Big Ten co-offensive player and defensive player of the week, respectively. This is Thompson’s third award this week after tallying four goals a week ago in a 5-0 win against Saint Lou-

is and a 2-1 win over Michigan State. That includes a hat trick versus Saint Louis. He is co-offensive player of the week with Maryland’s Gordon Wild, who also tallied four goals this week. Thompson also earned player of the week honors from Top Drawer Soccer and College Soccer News. Top Drawer included the midfielder on its team

of the week, as well. The Loomis, California, native now has eight goals on the season. As for Lomeli, this is his first award of the season since taking over for senior Colin Webb in goal against Wisconsin on Oct. 21. The senior has allowed just one goal and has already racked up two clean sheets in three starts.

The Crown Point, Indiana, native and IUPUI transfer has eight saves in his three starts. IU is the two-seed in the upcoming Big Ten Tournament and will face off against Northwestern in a quarterfinal match 1 p.m. Sunday at Bill Armstrong Stadium. Josh Eastern

Poll ranks IU in top 25 for 1st time in program history From IDS reports

IU women’s basketball garnered more national attention Tuesday when the preseason AP poll was released with the Hoosiers checking in at No. 23, the first preseason ranking in program history. Expectations are high for a team that returns all five starters from an NCAA Tournament run last season. Last week, IU was picked to finish third in the Big Ten by both coaches and media, with junior guard Tyra Buss chosen as preseason first team AllBig Ten. The Hoosiers are ranked for just the fourth time

ever since poll records have been kept, which began in the 1992-93 season. In the preseason coaches poll released last week, IU received the second most votes of teams outside the top 25. Notre Dame sits atop the preseason AP rankings, with fellow Big Ten members Maryland and Ohio State checking in at No. 6 and No. 7, respectively. IU will play its first and only exhibition game 2 p.m. Sunday against the University of Indianapolis at home. The Hoosiers’ first official game will also be at home against Presbyterian at 7 p.m. Nov. 11. Jake Thomer

Trump’s clothing line proves clothes don’t make the man

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump arrives for a tarmac rally at Orlando-Sanford International Airport on Oct. 25 in Sanford, Florida.

checkered, button-down dress shirt and pair of gray cotton slacks could easily be the perfect outfit for a day on the campaign trail. His line also meets the requirements for more formal events, such as a presidential debate. Row after row of charcoal gray, dark navy and deep black variations of suits scream a politician’s uniform. The perfect imitation is complete with any of Trump’s wide array of striped, checkered or solid colored ties matched with cuff links. Trump is well aware that his line fits the look of a politician. He even wore his own electric blue signature Donald J. Trump Collection necktie during the first presidential debate.

Before Donald Trump decided to run for president in the 2016 race after his first attempt in 2000, he had a few other ventures — Trump Hotels and Trump International Realty among other moneymaking businesses — going on in his life. He seems to have tried everything, from being a reality television star to a presidential nominee, so it comes as no surprise he took a swing at his own clothing line, the Donald J. Trump Collection. A quick glance at Trump’s apparel collection tells even the most untrained eye this man wanted to run for president. His clothing line has the proper attire for nearly every phase of running for office. Trump’s yellow and blue

Horoscope

Yes, Trump, if this were a race determined by who dresses like the next president, perhaps you’d have a solid chance of winning. However, while your attire eerily resembles the appearance of a politician, clothes can only cover up so much. Indeed, Trump’s selection of a navy suit, a signature Republican red tie and that timeless American flag pin placed over his heart looks like the attire worn by countless candidates, such as George W. Bush or Mitt Romney, before him. The differences between Trump and Bush may not be noticeable by Trump’s convincing physical appearance as a qualified politician. However, unlike Bush,

Trump wasn’t a governor of a state for five years before running for president. In fact, he hasn’t been any type of elected official to prepare or quite frankly even be qualified to take on the job as the next president. Beyond the fact that no matter how fancy a dress shirt or shiny a shoe he produces, he doesn’t have the qualifications to be the president of the single most powerful country in the world. It’s his perspective that is even more worrisome about putting the future of the United States in his hands. In the description of Trump’s fragrance Success it says, “Success By Trump captures the spirit of the driven man.” Is this what you consid-

er yourself, Trump? A driven man? While, yes, our future president should be driven, perhaps Trump’s definition of this word is very different. If a driven man is a man who is driven to grab women inappropriately, driven to build a wall to solve problems and driven to bully others on social media as a form of selfdefense, then neither Trump nor his clothing line and fragrances actually fit the bill for the next president of the U.S. Trump, please don’t dress the part if you can’t play the part.

things, unexplained, is the jar of capers. Who knows why that means something to the person who left that or the person they’re leaving that for?” The quantity of the different offerings has grown through the years, as has the perspective that seems to be represented by the items and those leaving them, Evangelista said. “What I noticed this time is there’s a certain kind of humor in some of these things, which is kind of nice to see because traditionally it is a serious ritual,” Evangelista said. “There needs to be a levity with it. It needs to be not about the people being dead but going on a further journey.” The connection to humanity is something DiGregorio said really stands out to her during each Day of the Dead altar at the museum. “The one thing that I think of every time I interact with the altar is that we’re all human and we have one thing in common. We’re born, and we die,” DiGregorio said. The event invites participants to contribute to a larger community project and share in a memorable experience in a way they may not realize, Evangelista said. “It’s interesting that probably 99 percent of the people who have things on the altar I don’t know,” Evangelista said. “Yet we’ve all come together in some way to pay our respects. That’s so inclusive — we’re all connected in some way, even if we will never know how.”
