Albrecht Holschuh

TO OUR READERS Sometimes it feels easy to focus on the negatives. Journalism gets a bad reputation for it.

It can be hard not to.

This semester, after three student deaths, rapes, assaults, an alumni sentenced to years in prison for child pornography and having sex with minors and a fraternity disbanded because of a video which showed members participating in sex acts with strippers, it was admittedly difficult to find the light.

Now, looking back at my last semester in college, it is easy to.

I look out at an unlikely group of friends who willingly participated in a group project each night here at the Indiana Daily Student and I understand where the light is.

We are all fighting through difficulties in life, and while we’re reporting on it, we’re supporting each other.

We, here at the IDS and the greater IU community, are experiencing problems together and loving each other through it.

It might seem counter-intuitive for me as the editor to say it isn’t about the news each day, but it isn’t.

It’s about the people who make the news, the connections they’ve made and our human experiences that are much more inner connected than we realize.

Thank you for sticking by us this semester — this crazy band of editors, writers, reporters and friends who have made me prouder than I have ever been before — as we’ve navigated the tough stuff with you.

A walk in solidarity Volunteers at Planned Parenthood protect women’s legal right to abortion

By Carmen Heredia Rodriguez caheredi@indiana.edu | @caheredia21

Protestants in the alley, Catholics on the sidewalk.

Albrecht Holschuh can’t remember a Thursday when he wasn’t met by protesters on the periphery of Planned Parenthood in Bloomington while arriving for his shift.

He’s done the drive to the clinic at least once a month for more than a decade now, choosing to spend his time in retirement escorting women from the footstep of their cars to the doorstep of the facility without fear.

A car swung into the south entrance.

Holschuh walked forward as a woman parked and stepped out.

They walked together to the clinic doors against a backdrop of men, women and children holding signs urging the woman to reconsider.

“Just took the abortion pill?

You can still change your mind.”

In the alley, a baby dozed in a woman’s arms. A fussy toddler lay squirming at his mother’s feet.

The mothers and their babies pressed the woman entering the clinic to consider the possible future of the cells dividing inside her — they were living proof that there was another option.

A pastor, a friar and a male doctor stood among the dissenters. They, like Holschuh, cannot bear children. * * * The square of asphalt is a microcosm of a national debate that has raged since the Supreme Court deemed abortions legal in 1973. Since then, medical advances have pushed the point of viability earlier, complicating the definition of when life begins.

Although women are directly affected by abortion regulation, men play dominant roles in

pushing the cause at a local level and passing legislation affecting access nationwide.

Thursday, Dec. 3, the Senate passed a budget bill that would defund Planned Parenthood, 43 days after the Bloomington City Council voted unanimously in favor of a resolution supporting the clinic and six days after a gunman shot and killed three people in a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado. In both the local and national voting bodies, women made up less than a quarter of the representatives.

Though only women are directly affected by changes in access to abortions, the fabric of each side is woven with the voices of sons, fathers and grandfathers.

Holschuh is among them. * * * He never got the sex talk.

A 19-foot tall unfolding dollhouse complete with a staircase makes up only one piece of the set for Cardinal Stage Company’s production of “Mary Poppins.”

“There’s the chimney units and the park units, there’s a bank, a cathedral, a nursery, every single room you could think of, and it all miraculously fits in that tiny backstage somewhere,” said IU student Elaine Cotter, who plays Mary Poppins. “It’s magical.”

The show opens at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. Dec. 19 at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater. Subsequent performances will take place at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. Dec. 20, 23, 26 and 27 and Jan. 1 and 2.

Reid Henderson, a New Yorkbased actor who plays Bert, said the intricate set design by David Higgins makes the stage look like a storybook.

The set pieces, the cast of more than 40 actors and the technicality of the production all contribute to making “Mary Poppins” an impressively complex show to put on, Cotter said.

“When you think of really big shows, you don’t necessarily think of ‘Mary Poppins’ as a huge musical theater production,” Cotter said. “You think of ‘Wicked’ and ‘The Lion King,’ these massive shows, but I honestly think that ‘Mary Poppins’ is on that caliber.

What makes it exciting is that the story is larger than life.”

Cotter suggested she could be an angel or a witch who retains human qualities. Throughout the course of the show, this question is never truly resolved.

“Mary is this presence that is always around and can kind of sense when something is awry, and she shows up to fix it,” Henderson said.

Comparing Mary Poppins to Krampus, the anti-Santa Claus, Henderson said both figures know when families do not have the right spirit, and they come to teach a lesson.

Cotter said Mary’s role in the show contributes to the overarching themes of family, love and morality.

“Mary has this ability to oversee and bring everyone together, and Bert is her accomplice in that the whole time,” Cotter said. “They both leave at the end and leave the family perfect.”

Black IUnity protests racism

By Carley Lanich clanich@indiana.edu | @carleylanich

There were no posters, signs or chanting, only silence, as supporters of Black IUnity crossed through campus.

Starting at the Sample Gates, they marched in two lines, single file, down Indiana Avenue and Seventh Street to the Neal Marshall Black Culture Center.

The silence was a sign of community and togetherness, as planned by organizers, exceeding their expectations.

Before the march began, those in attendance were reminded that this would be a planned demonstration, not a protest.

Supporters of the Black IUnity movement dawned matching black long-sleeve shirts with #blackexcellence written on their backs, as a part of their march to build a more amicable environment for African-American students on campus Saturday.

At the Sample Gates, representatives from the IU Black Student Union, the NAACP, the Indiana Memorial Union Board and more addressed about 180 demonstrators. However, senior Trey White, one of the event’s organizers, said the demonstration was not meant to be attended by any organizations in particular, but to be a march for black students as individuals to connect under one united front.

“We are not representing an organization with this,” White said. “We are coming together as black students at IU.” Compelled by the recent racial unrest at the University of Missouri, White said he felt the march would address similar issues within the IU community.

“Obviously racism and microaggressions and slander and things like that — racially charged remarks and acts — aren’t new to IU’s campus,” White said. “But they were definitely heightened as a result of the national attention that Mizzou got. What I wanted to do was kind of bring the attention to our campus.”

Before leaving the Sample Gates, coordinators urged demonstrators not to react to any potential negative slurs or agitations that may occur throughout the march. Organizers wore yellow duct tape armbands to distinguish themselves should anyone need help along the course.

Yet, the armbands were unneeded. With the exception of one SEE IUNITY, PAGE 2

Students find magic during annual Yule Ball

By Sarah Gardner gardnese@indiana.edu @sarahhhgardner

Purple lighting, candles hanging from the ceiling and orchestral music transformed the Alumni Hall into something more magical Friday night.

The second annual Yule Ball, sponsored by the Union Board, took place Friday night in the Indiana Memorial Union’s Alumni Hall. The dance is open to all students and is inspired by the dance of the same name from the “Harry Potter” books and movies.

“Part of our mission as the Union Board is to try to cater to lots of different groups of people,” said Travis Stevens, student director of the Union Board Late Night program.

“This event has had a great turnout this year and last year, and it seems to be really engaging for a lot of students.”

Alumni Hall, which can seat up to 400 people, was filled to capacity at last year’s ball, prompting the event’s organizers to open up the Solarium this year as well, Stevens said. If attendance is encouraging again this year, they might consider looking for a larger venue in the future, Stevens said.

Freshmen Madeline Wolf and Trevor Woodall were among the first students to arrive. Dressed in black-tie attire, they stood at a table ad-

miring the lights and decorations in Alumni Hall.

“You know, you don’t get the opportunity to get dressed up very often,” Wolf said. “You just sort of assume that high school prom is the last time you’ll do that. It was fun to be able to get ready for this, and it really does feel kind of magical in here.”

The event offered dancing, games and food, as well as performances from the IU ballroom dance team, the IU Ballet and the break dancing club.

“We’ve been a little tied up with the Nutcracker, so we didn’t create the dance until earlier today,” sophomore ballet dancer Mackenzie Allen said. “But we did this last year and loved it, and I think being asked to perform for events like this is a lot of fun.”

The Yule Ball was run as part of the Late Night program with the Indiana Memorial Union and the Union Board.

The IMU has an event every Friday night, with the Union Board planning a larger Friday night event once a month.

“When we do things with the Union Board, it’s meant to be something fun and different to liven up what a Friday night can be,” Mara Dahlgren, IMU program coordinator, said. “This event in particular, as well as most of the things we do with the Union Board, are great ways to meet new people and create a fun experience for a group of friends.”

Food, dancing and live music were presented in this events.

The Union Board also collaborated with the Student Cinema Guild and the IU Harry Potter Society. Profits from ticket sales served as fundraising for these organizations as well as covering the cost of the event. Students from the Cinema Guild dressed up as some of the

more recognizable characters from the Harry Potter series, acting in character whenever they interacted with other students.

“The Harry Potter books and movies were such a defining part of our childhood, and a lot of people our age grew up with them,” said

Emma Maidenberg, a Student Cinema Guild officer dressed in a cape and witch’s hat. “I think that makes something like this, where it’s an event straight from the series, seem really exciting to a lot of people.”

As students in suits and full-length gowns continued

to flood into Alumni Hall, a student dressed up as Albus Dumbledore from “Harry Potter” addressed the crowd from the stage. After welcoming the students and introducing the performers of the night, he only had four more words for the crowd.

IUSA plans to implement resolutions Professor talks alternative forms of government

By Nyssa Kruse

nakruse@indiana.edu | @nyssakruse

After a semester of surveys, research, outreach and discussion, the IU Student Association executive branch is planning for the implementation of various initiatives and ideas on campus during the spring semester.

“A lot of what I expect for this semester is that we carry over all of the discussions we’ve been having now and actually put together a list, whether it’s of improvements to be made or implementing the ideas we’ve come up with so far,” Sara Zaheer, IUSA chief of staff, said.

One event set for the spring semester is a student organizations conference planned for next January or February in conjunction with Student Life and Learning, Chief of Outreach Rebecca Yeakey said.

The goal is to create an environment where student leaders can more easily discuss with one another what is and isn’t working on campus as well as to increase IUSA’s visibility, Yeakey said.

“We’re hoping to kind of use the student ‘org’ conference as a spring board, in a way, for students to become more familiar with IUSA and also the work we do with one another,” Yeakey said.

IUSA executives will also continue work on a resolution asking for the publication of the cost of course material prior to registration, Zaheer said, adding that one meeting already occurred wherein this idea was discussed with Provost Lauren Robel.

Zaheer said Robel suggested asking professors to disclose this information before registration, as opposed to Congress’s suggestion of adding a question to online

course evaluations for students to estimate how much they spent on the course.

Zaheer said IUSA will also try to spend up to half of the funds the organization has in reserve. Spending down these reserve funds was recommended by the Committee for Fee Review last spring after the CFR discovered IUSA had about $60,000 in reserve.

The CFR is the body which recommends how funds from the student activity fee are distributed. The IUSA budget was cut this year from the usual $100,000 to $60,000 with the expectation IUSA would spend some of its reserves.

The expectation is that once the reserves are gone, IUSA’s budget will be restored to $100,000.

Zaheer said IUSA wants to be careful spending the money, though, and ensure it’s not wasted.

As part of trying to spend this money, Zaheer mentioned the idea of co-sponsoring events with other student organizations on campus.

She said this can be complicated though, because if the event is receiving funds from Funding Board, contributing IUSA funds would double-dip into the student activity fee.

In contribution to spending goals, more money has been allocated to the marketing department as its members are working on rebranding IUSA, Zaheer said. Zaheer said she feels the entire brand of IUSA was damaged last spring after election issues caused the ticket with the most votes to be disqualified.

Additionally, many students do not know IUSA is their student government, which is addressed in new logos created this year that show the slogan, “Your Student Government,” Zaheer said.

Other efforts for next se-

Important IUSA Bills IUSA Congress members meet to vote on legislation biweekly. These are some of the most notable resolutions passed this semester presented by meeting.

Sept. 15 Resolution passed asking that the Office of Parking Operations give ticket notification in ways beyond a physical ticket. This could mean a phone call or email to ticketed students.

Sept. 29 Resolution passed asking that staplers be placed at certain printers across campus.

Oct. 13 IUSA Congress failed to meet quorum and could not vote on any resolutions.

Oct. 27 Congress elected a new parliamentarian and filled vacant seats.

Nov. 10 Resolution passed changing quorum requirements so

mester will be following up on safety issues and initiatives for diversity and inclusion, both of which IUSA initially explored through several student forums and surveys this semester.

Zaheer said one idea IUSA looks toward is the University of Iowa’s implementation of a required diversity course, which she said is intended to encourage constructive discourse on issues related to diversity.

“That’s something we might want to think about at least, and if University of Iowa has done it, we should be able to, too, if that’s something students here want,” Zaheer said.

He will use these feelings to help him as he assumes his new role as the associate vice John provost for fac- Nieto-Phillips ulty development and diversity on Jan. 1.

Nieto-Phillips will work with the Office of the Provost

and the Office of the Vice President for Diversity, Equity and Multicultural Affairs to focus on creating a more inclusive faculty.

that only half of active members must be present at a meeting to vote.

Dec. 1 Resolution passed condemning anti-Semitism, ensuring IUSA would cut ties with any organization or entity considered anti-Semitic as defined by the United States State Department.

Resolution passed asking for the creation of a program to support international students with Bloomington residents, wherein residents would voluntarily invite international students to things such as sporting events or holiday dinners.

Resolution passed requesting cost of course materials be published before students register for classes.

well as working to add lighting requirements to city code for landlords of off-campus areas.

Safety and diversity have become issues important to students during the past few months given recent events on and off campus, IUSA President Anne Tinder said.

Although her ticket campaigned on a platform largely focused on mental health, Tinder said the IU Health Center and Counseling and Psychological Services has shown internal initiative to improve and expand their services, so IUSA shifted some of its focus to other issues.

“It’s more about putting our resources in places there are not resources,” Yeakey said. “It’s maximizing the impact IUSA can have.”

READ RECYCLE DID YOU KNOW?

If every U.S. newspaper were recycled, 250 million trees would be saved each year.

By Julie Masterson julmaste@indiana.edu

In a system where much of the decision-making process is obscured by shadows, one professor aims to shed light on who is responsible for what.

Professor Guy Peters spoke with students, faculty and staff about the various “shadows” affecting United States governance at noon Friday in the School of Public and Environmental Affairs.

Peters’ talk, “Governing in the Shadows: Alternative Forms of Governance,” was part of SPEA’s Governance and Management faculty group speaker series.

Currently serving as an adjunct professor at the University of Pittsburgh’s Graduate School of Public and International Affairs, Peters specializes in comparative public policy and administration and American public

administration.

“We can think about governance as being performed by a variety of different actors,” Peters said. “The state, the market, the society and expertise.”

Developed by German political and legal scientist Fritz Scharpf, the term “shadow of hierarchy,” in essence, refers to the implicit threat of legislators to enact adverse legislation if the potentially affected actors do not alter their behavior to meet the legislators’ demands.

Through this pressure, which is usually not actively introduced, the shadow of hierarchy generates important incentives for cooperation from non-state actors.

“If we want to think about how this works, we have to think about the actors involved,” Peters said. “How do the actors involved deal SEE GOVERNMENT, PAGE 3

with these alternative forms of governance, how do we make choices?”

During his talk, Peters discussed the different roles of these individual actors and the ways in which their respective “shadows” influence, both positively and negatively, the decision-making process.

“The individual actors construct — or alternatively deconstruct — the options of alternative forms of governance,” Peters said.

This view is different from those put forth in much of the literature on governance through networks and other social actors, such as Scharpf’s argument that the delegation to these actors is all conducted in a “shadow of hierarchy.”

Peters said society, or other social actors of a variety of forms, provides alternative forms of governance.

“They may not have formal authority, they usually don’t, but they have other resources they can use for governance.”

“A lot of the involvement of social actors comes as the result of state failure,” Peters said. “But we’re not just talking about Somalia here.”

Peters said state failure often occurs in smaller but meaningful ways when it cannot provide adequate government or adequate social services.

Both historically and currently, Peters said much of the decision-making process in governance is actually done by market actors and business corporations.

When they want some type of stable form of government or social and educational services the state is incapable of providing, market actors will step in and cover the cost.

passerby on a motor scooter, the march saw no negative reactions.

“You could tell that it was received by the Bloomington community and the IU community that was present today very well,” White said.

The route of the march was planned specifically for that reason, beginning at the Sample Gates to attract the attention of both communities.

Organizers said the march exceeded far beyond their expectations.

“This was laying the groundwork for us to be able to have a platform so that we are sufficiently united so that we can go up to administration and speak to the University,” said senior Luqmann Ruth, who also helped plan the march.

Provost Lauren Robel and Dean of Students Harold “Pete” Goldsmith marched at the back of the two lines in a show of solidarity.

“This march is an incredibly positive show of unity of the members of our community,” Robel said. “I hope simply to show the students that they are valued and appreciated by the leadership of our University.”

Senior Megan Smith, an organizer of the march, said the administrators’ presence spoke volumes.

“For me personally, it says a lot,” Smith said. “Honestly, it’s not their job and they don’t have to be here, but for them to continually show up and to continually show that they are supporting us, it’s refreshing.”

Once at the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center, demonstrators filled a room inside, participating in an icebreaker activity where participants shared interests and linked arms to show how people from different parts of campus are more similar than would be perceived.

The march came among recent efforts of minority students to express concerns of safety and the culture climate on campus this semester.

Last month, Goldsmith organized a town hall-style meeting at the Indiana Memorial Union after a threat circulated on the anonymous social media app Yik Yak. Robel and IU Police Department Chief Laury Flint were also in attendance at the forum put on to encourage dialogue about the University’s racial climate.

White said that while he believed the intention for the meeting was good, it wasn’t what many students had expected. Some students believed the meeting brought false promises.

Some of his goals include measuring success in hiring and retaining minority faculty and women. The University is currently beginning a diversity assessment that will help Nieto-Phillips and his colleagues create a baseline to use to track these successes.

Adjunct professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Pittsburgh Guy Peters presents his lecture titled “Governing in the Shadows: Alternative Forms of Governance” Friday afternoon at the School of Public and Environmental Affairs.

“These market actors place limits on governments and what governments can do and how effectively they are able to pursue their own goals through public sector action,” Peters said.

Though market actors often provide funding for services that benefit society at large, Peters said there exists the possibility for a negative side as well, particularly corruption as a form of economic governance.

Next, Peters discussed the shadow of expertise.

“The notion here is that we are sometimes quite willing to allow the state to delegate the expert organizations, that may be quasi-public or may be private, to deal with government issues,” Peters said.

Peters said this often occurs in part because of the information asymmetry that exists between the government and expert organizations.

“They may be willing to delegate simply because they do not have the information to govern effectively,” Peters

said.

Peters said a negative aspect of the shadow of expertise is the potential for technocracy, or the government or control of society by an elite of technical experts.

“Even in normal democratic systems and representative democracies, we’re dealing with a lot of information asymmetry, so, again, we may be delegating an awful lot,” Peters said.

Ultimately, Peters said his research is exploring the various instruments at work in these theories.

“The fundamental argument that I would make is that a lot of these choices are trying to find hybrids,” Peters said.

Peters said movement and interaction between actors was the result of sheer necessity in most of the cases he has observed, but he is more interested in voluntary interaction between actors.

“I’m trying to tease out the utility behind these notions of hybrid forms of government and how we move back and forth among the alternatives,” Peters said. “Hopefully it’s a

way to deal with some of the issues in contemporary government.”

Thomas Rabovsky, an assistant professor of public management at SPEA, serves as the coordinator for the Governance and Management Faculty Group speaker series.

“One of the goals of the talk is for us to learn more about the cutting edge of research in our field, and we encourage them to think of the talk as an opportunity to get feedback or suggestions regarding new or developing research,” Rabovsky said.

As a result, Rabovsky said speakers typically present a new project they are working on, rather than something that has already been completed and widely read.

“Public affairs, like most academic disciplines, is really as much a social community as it is a scientific discipline,” Rabovsky said. “Getting to know these scholars as people and establishing a personal connection with them can be really helpful, particularly for our graduate students.”

He added that it is important to ask if they are doing all they can to keep the current faculty and if they are developing a comprehensive road map for the future.

“Diversity is fundamental to our mission and our responsibility as a public university,” he said.

Nieto-Phillips will also be working closely with Eliza Pavalko, vice provost for faculty and academic affairs.

Pavalko said she, along with Nieto-Phillips, James Wimbush, vice president of DEMA, and IU-Bloomington Provost Lauren Robel, has ambitious goals for what they hope to accomplish.

“A key objective set in IUBloomington’s strategic plan is to make IU-Bloomington a campus that attracts and retains a talented, diverse faculty across all fields,” Pavalko said.

Nieto-Phillips’ focus in particular will be on working

with various schools and the College to develop strategies to attract a more diverse faculty to campus, she added.

One of Nieto-Phillips’ first priorities will be to reach out to faculty to learn more of what aspects of campus are supporting their teaching and research and what aspects make it more difficult for them to do their best work.

Pavalko said Nieto-Phillips will be building on existing ways of developing a strong sense of community among faculty and will also develop ideas to increase that.

“My hope is that John helps our office become an even better resource for all faculty,” Pavalko said.

Nieto-Phillips is the ideal person to fill this position, Pavalko said, because he has devoted his entire career to the study of race, ethnicity and identity.

“John cares deeply about the well-being of all faculty,

and I think he is someone faculty will feel very comfortable working with,” Pavalko said. “He will be an outstanding resource for our faculty.”

Nieto-Phillips said students and faculty, at IU and around the country, are frustrated about the continuing under-representation of minorities in higher education, as well as gender inequities.

Student interest in diversity is evident in growing enrollments in classes that deal with race and ethnicity. Scholarship about race and ethnicity has also grown exponentially in the recent years. However, IU’s hiring needs to respond to that growth, Nieto-Phillips said.

“The disparities are not acceptable,” he said. “I think we all bear a responsibility to be active and find solutions. I hope that in my new capacity I can do that. It’s part of my personal mission.”

the productivity that was intended,” White said. “It didn’t generate the outcome that most of us sought.”

A student-organized event Tuesday allowed IU students to meet and discuss such concerns, as well as discuss the death of IU student Joseph Smedley.

Jessica David, who led the event called “The Critical Conversation: Joseph Smedley and the Aftermath,” encouraged those in attendance to support one another in making sense of sensitive topics.

“I believe it’s long overdue,” David said of the conversation. “We’re holding it to give students a space to process this openly and freely, and to help them find their voices, because I feel like it’s been silenced for too long.”

In the two-hour-long session, students broke into small groups and discussed fears of underrepresentation of minority races.

David, along with a team of Counseling and Psychological Services staff and representatives from CAPS’ Diversity Outreach Team, provided information for resources such as the IU Health Center and the Center for Human Growth Counseling Services on campus.

Each group of students developed action plans for moving forward, such as planning to attend one of IU’s 2016 Martin Luther King Jr. Day events or Saturday’s march.

White said the march was just the first step needed to unify black students on a solitary platform.

Next, he said the students hope to advocate for action on the part of the IU administration.

Students of the Black IUnity movement said they would like to see adversity programs put in place and more cultural events attended by all on campus to ensure greater understanding of cultural differences and to improve the retention rate of black students.

White said the movement is accepting support from all students on campus, but that the movement’s goal is to specifically focus on the issues of the 4 percent of black students that make up IU’s student body.

“It’s easy for us as black students to come together and be on one accord because we understand each other and the struggle and strife that we face on a daily basis,” White said. “But to get outsiders to realize and respect that is a whole other task in and of itself, so I feel like this is a really great starting point to kind of diminish some of the tension on campus.”

Red Cross faces holiday blood shortage The American Red Cross has a greater need for blood donations during the holidays.

The number of donations decreases during the holidays because of holiday festivities, winter weather and seasonal colds and flu, according a press release.

One pint of blood can save up to three

lives.

Donors who give blood between Dec. 23, 2015, and Jan. 3, 2016, will receive a longsleeved Red Cross T-shirt.

The Red Cross needs donors of all blood types, and types AB, O, B negative and A negative are especially needed.

Local farmstead hosts holiday event

By Cora Henry corahenr@indiana.edu | @coraghenry

The Hinkle-Garton Farmstead welcomed the community to its property during a holiday open house at the Queen Anne house Saturday.

“A lot of the community is just now noticing (the farmstead),” Museum Committee Chair and volunteer coordinator Danielle Bachant-Bell said.

The farmstead is 11 acres, and it holds two homes, four outbuildings, orchards and gardens, according to its website.

The farmstead usually has open hours the last Saturday of every month. In December, the last Saturday is between Christmas and New Year’s, so the volunteers planned an event earlier in the month to draw the community into their hands-on museum.

The food provided at the holiday event was made from ingredients grown on the farm. Volunteers make syrup from the maple trees on the property during the winter. In January and February, visitors can see the tapping, flowing and bottling.

Other events at the farmstead teach Bloomington residents to cook and garden.

Bloomington Restorations has owned the farmstead since 2004, and they have organized the fall open house for the past three years.

“The story of the HinkleGarton Farmstead is the story of changing ways in the Midwest for the past 150 years,” a sign in the house said. “We’ve

gone from a farming and small town lifestyle to what we know today.”

Daisy Hinkle-Garton donated the farmstead to Bloomington Restorations in 2004.

“She was a very active person in the community, and she wanted this to be Bloomington’s farmstead,” BachantBell said. “She wanted this to be a part of the community.”

Daisy Hinkle-Garton made provisions to ensure the property would remain a farmstead.

“She knew that if she did not leave her property in a trust document, the land would be developed,” Bachant-Bell said. The land is protected in three ways: H-G placed it in her trust, it’s a local historic place and it’s on a National Register of Historic Places.

sit in that chair, as long as it doesn’t break, that’s fine,” Bachant-Bell said. “We want people to use it.”

Freedom Indiana is planning meetings across the state to boost support to add protections for gender and sexual minorities to Indiana’s existing civil rights legislation.

Indiana’s civil rights legislation already protects race, religion, age, disability and sex.

Bloomington residents wrote out their support for LGBT civil rights at the Freedom Indiana community meeting Thursday night.

The meeting was one of five in different Indiana cities.

Previously, the advocacy organization had visited Columbus, Indiana, and Indianapolis.

Freedom Indiana Campaign Manager Chris Paulsen said the goal of the meeting was to build a community that supports LGBT advocacy in Bloomington.

“We find, usually, that the people who come to the first meetings are the core (of support),” Paulsen said. “They form the core, then bring their friends.”

The organization opposes Senate Bill 100, the Indiana Republican Senate’s attempt to extend protections for LGBT Hoosiers while maintaining religious freedom.

At the beginning of the meeting, which was at Upland Brewery, advocacy organizer Meaghan Lanane encouraged attendees to tell each other their names, preferred pronouns, identity in the LGBTQcommunity and reason for involving themselves in the civil rights battle.

Lanane, who identified herself as an ally in the LGBT community, said the plan was to activate a base of support in the city that could reach out to other organizations.

“We need to make relationships with you guys, build them and let you know how to help,” Lanane said.

Lanane said some of Freedom Indiana’s goals for mobilization are to engage members of the religious community and empower transgender people.

“I love Bloomington — lived here for eight years — so I have so much faith that we ... can reach out to other communities and send a message that we’re not okay with discrimination,” Lanane said.

During the meeting, the advocacy organizers manned a large pad of paper, on which the group brainstormed possible organizations to contact to generate support for Freedom Indiana’s goals.

Names of Bloomington churches, campus organizations and individuals with connections to local businesses were all added to the paper during the meeting.

When Bloomington civil code was brought up, Lanane

pointed out that the city’s municipal code already protects LGBTQ workers.

However, Senate Bill 100 as proposed would have jurisdiction over local and county legislation.

“That’s part of the problem with the Senate bill — it would actually override the good work that’s already been done,” Lanane said.

After brainstorming, the attendees were equipped with paper, the names of state representatives and instructions to write a persuasive letter to their senators.

Carrie Ganote, an IU student and employee, penned a letter to Senator Mark Stoops.

For her, letter-writing has been a way to make her opinions heard, even when the state as a whole appears not to support what she thinks.

“At least I’ve said something,” Ganote said. “Even if you say that ... my voice is overridden by the rest of the state, I feel like I have to say something.”

Ganote said while she is proud of the U.S. for addressing the issue of gay marriage, a pervasive intolerance against members of the LGBT community is still in place.

“I don’t know what that’s based on, whether it’s religious (or not),” Ganote said.

“But to bring that into law and policy seems, to me, kind of irresponsible.”

Ganote also filled out Freedom Indiana’s postcards expressing support for LGBT non-discrimination.

“While I don’t have a lot of time for a leadership position or volunteer work, I can certainly write signatures,” Ganote said.

Freedom Indiana delivered more than 5,000 letters to the Statehouse in mid-November, on the same day Bill 100 was proposed.

Paulsen said the next round of letters, collected from the community meetings and other letter-writing campaigns, will probably be delivered on the first day of the new legislative session Jan. 5.

As the Indiana Senate is controlled by a Republican majority, Paulsen said the letters and other advocacy efforts would have to sway many to their cause — although she said Freedom Indiana has met with some Republicans who agree with their line of thinking.

Paulsen said even if LGBTQ nondiscrimination were added to civil rights legislation, common fears like churches being forced to have same-sex weddings would not be realized.

“A lot of (the concern) is misinformation, and we’re here to help with that,” Paulsen said.

Freedom Indiana will meet in Valparaiso, Indiana, on Dec. 14 and Terre Haute, Indiana, on Dec. 17 to complete its tour.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 from holes in the walls dimly illuminated the room.

There in the room lay a fetus on top of a stained, makeshift bed of newspapers.

Holschuh and his friends glanced in the room, ran out of the bunker and never talked about it.

He grew up attending a Protestant church, but religion never educated Holschuh on sex.

Even so, he remembers recognizing the corpse as the possible remnants of a clandestine abortion. * * * Deborah Meader, Holschuh’s wife, didn’t fully learn about her body until she was 25 years old, married and trying to conceive.

Although she’s an escort and a former counselor at Planned Parenthood in Bloomington, no one taught her about sex at home or school.

Meader grew up before Roe v. Wade, a time when women were whisked away at the hint of an illegitimate child or found dead in a back alley procedure gone wrong.

As Meader searched for materials to help her conceive, she found “Our Bodies, Ourselves,” a book published in 1971 dedicated to female sexuality. The book was a revelation.

Maybe women like Meader could soon express their sexuality without fear of judgment. Without hesitating to visit a male physician to ask about sex and Planned Parenthood. Without needing to wear a fake wedding ring so she wouldn’t be hassled when she asked for birth control like Meader wore when she was 18. * * * It was the pastor who told Holschuh’s parents that he had left the Protestant church.

As Holschuh finished university in Germany and absorbed more about religion, he became convinced that man created God to

manipulate other men.

To Holschuh, pregnancy is not a divine gift. It is a feat of biology.

“It really becomes a decision of society where to draw the line between the higher individuality of the potential mother and the incipient individuality of the developing future child,” he said.

Holschuh has met little opposition to his support of abortion rights outside of the clinic. But, he remembers one instance when he volunteered at a voting station.

A colleague turned to him in the hallway during a break and said, “You come from Germany with all that past. How can you support Planned Parenthood that kills babies?”

“A fetus is not a baby,” Holschuh replied. * * * By the time women met with Meader on Thursday mornings, they had usually made up their minds.

She worked as a counselor at Planned Parenthood for three years, advising women of their options before the procedure.

Meader needed to know the patient understood her choices: keep the baby, put the baby up for adoption or terminate the pregnancy.

Every session, Meader had a checklist she followed.

Introduce self and role.

She looked for any sign of distress. Distress could be hesitation. And hesitation is not an option when deciding what cannot be undone.

Meader sent a handful of women home.

Validate and confirm patient’s choice.

Meader has seen hundreds of women. Like the woman who opted for a surgical abortion but needed to work second-shift that night.

Or the stay-at-home mom with a stable husband and two kids who were about to pay off the car and house.

Another baby would have caused too much financial strain.

Or herself.

She was a single mom earning her undergraduate with the hope of continu-

ing to a master’s degree. She lived paycheck to paycheck, finding part-time jobs at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee to sustain herself and her daughter.

She was uninsured and had put off school before to get married. Her closest family was in California. Her life couldn’t handle another baby.

Meader looked to Planned Parenthood for support in terminating her pregnancy. * * * Pro-life protesters on the right. Planned Parenthood supporters on the left.

The groups had come out to champion their causes at the entrance of City Hall in anticipation of the City Council’s reading of a resolution supporting Planned Parenthood in Bloomington.

The protesters stood in silence. Adults and students from neighboring high schools stood together holding signs.

“Their blood is on your hands.”

“Adoption: Loving option.”

Four children all in a row each held one yellow poster with a letter. Four men behind them did the same.

“LIFE”.

On the other side of the brick landing, a throng of pink-clad men, women and children stood in contrast to the auburn sunset. A giant birth control wheel was passed among the electric pink crowd.

A child clung to her mother’s back, wearing a pink Planned Parenthood shirt with matching pink leopard shoes.

Holschuh and Meader stood among the crowd of 50, hugging and chatting with other Planned Parenthood supporters.

“Testing!

Treatment!

Planned Parenthood!”

As the chanting began, Meader shouted the rally cry.

Holschuh stood as if guarding the flock, part of the chaos yet removed from it. He stood at the front, arms crossed, facing the crowd and mouthing the words.

» VICTORY

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 rebound, then another. On the second, he was fouled and went to line for two free throws.

When the first shot went through the net, the Assembly Hall crowd roared louder than it had all night — and maybe all season.

Although Priller’s contribution of two points, two boards and two steals was well above his average, it had little effect on the final outcome as the Hoosiers dominated the Cowboys on Saturday night.

“I thought our guys played an impressive game from start to finish,” IU Coach Tom Crean said. “We did a lot of good things tonight ... and I thought everyone contributed.”

Crean said defensive effort and ball movement on offense was key in the win.

IU accomplished a season-low in turnovers, with nine, while forcing McNeese State into 19.

Thirty IU points came from takeaways.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Cotter said. A few new songs were written specifically for the musical adaptation, but the standards including

James Blackmon Jr. attributed this to an aggressive mindset and sticking to the scouting report.

Blackmon, who scored a game-high 24 points on 9-of-17 shooting, was one of five Hoosiers who scored in double digits against the Cowboys.

Freshman center Thomas Bryant showed marked improvement on the stat sheet from Wednesday night’s IPFW game, when he had just four points and two rebounds.

On a perfect 7-for-7 shooting night, he collected 18 points and nine rebounds Saturday night.

Crean said the fact that Bryant didn’t show up on the stat sheet as much a few nights ago didn’t concern him. He knows his team is better when Bryant plays well, but praised his overall performance and said he’s still improving.

“He’s worked hard,” Crean said. “We got some extra work in with him today before walk-through, which was good.”

Bryant gave his team a boost at the beginning of each

half, crashing the boards and being aggressive at the rim on the offensive end.

He scored on back-toback plays to open the first half. Then, at the start of the second, sophomore guard James Blackmon Jr. bounced a pass to a cutting Rob Johnson, who handed it to Bryant under the basket.

After one dribble to dodge his defender, Bryant went up with it for the bucket and foul.

Other statistic leaders included senior guard Kevin “Yogi” Ferrell with seven assists and junior forward Troy Williams with seven rebounds.

IU is nearing the end of the non-conference portion of its schedule. IU is off for a week before competing against in-state rival Notre Dame at the Crossroads Classic on Dec. 19.

Blackmon said that game has already been talked about.

“Coaches talked about how (tonight) is practice for Notre Dame, so we wanted to come out and make a statement a little bit,” he said.

“Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” remain.

Henderson said the familiarity of the songs and the story will have even those who are not usually fans of musical theater

tapping their feet.

“I think it’s one of those shows that makes you always feel like a kid,” Henderson said. “It brings those feelings to whoever’s watching it.”

Parting thoughts from an opinion editor

ILLUSTRATION BY MORGAN ANDERSON | IDS

Smothered in smog WE SAY: We need change now more than ever The government of the world’s most populous country, China, issued its first ever “red alert” for the city of Beijing last week, closing schools, shutting down factories and halting outdoor construction because of poisonous air quality, according to the New York Times.

Smog coated Beijing, bringing the city to a standstill.

The municipal air quality index reached up to 308, a rating marked “hazardous” by the United States and “we’re screwed,” in sanity’s standards.

Essentially, people were warned not to step foot outdoors.

The thick smog certainly caused an inconvenience for residents, but it shines a flashing red light on the environmental catastrophe that has been building in the Communist nation for decades.

And the red alert was issued just in time for the Paris climate deal, which was reached this Saturday.

The 31-page document

details a landmark agreement that “could be a turning point in the struggle to contain global warming,” according to the New York Times.

World leaders from 195 countries struck an accord, committing “to lowering planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions to help” ward off climate change.

The agreement calls for participating countries to “reach global peaking of greenhouse gas emissions” as soon as possible, according to the New York Times.

This vague language is questionable, but they agreed to return with plans for tougher policies every five years after the year 2020. Countries must report how they are reducing their emissions in comparison with their targets by verifying, monitoring and publicly reporting those levels.

However, even if everyone plays nice, the goals set at the Paris agreement might not be enough to prevent the “catastrophic effects of climate change,” according to the Washington Post.

Forces might already be set in motion, according to new science, that might be irreversible.

Though previous climate agreements required developed countries like the U.S. to reduce emissions, it exempted developing countries like China and India from this obligation, according to the New York Times. This new agreement has dropped this dynamic and now requires action from every country in some form.

This is a good first step.

U.S. conservatives are also not the biggest fans of policies that have been proposed to fight climate change. Instead of negotiating such policies, they block them by attempting to undermine science.

But the Editorial Board, and certainly Bill Nye the Science Guy, have grown tired of hearing problematic rhetoric from conservatives and others who don’t support efforts to combat climate change.

Even Indiana has its own reputation for pollution.

Earlier this year, the Hoosier

Nation was ranked the fourth worst state for overall environmental quality. We don’t have smog, but we certainly have a problem.

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Gina McCarthy and Chinese officials have consulted at the negotiations about how the current agreement would improve China’s air quality by limiting the amount of pollutants and carbon emissions from the country’s power plants, according to Yahoo News.

She said the deal reached in Paris will need “a strong system of emissions monitoring, reporting and verification to ensure countries meet” their commitments.

And the U.S., she said, certainly still had plenty of room to broaden the scope of emission cuts beyond just vehicles and power plants.

Climate change is a global issue, and we can only hope the climate agreements reached this weekend will bring positive change and cleaner air into our earth’s atmosphere.

OUT OF THE WOODS

Keeping our Muslim neighbors safe from harm If you’re not Muslim and/ or if you don’t look like you might be Muslim, you have an important job to do.

It’s on you to help keep our Muslim neighbors safe.

This is not a safe time to be a Muslim in the United States. Anti-Muslim rhetoric from politicians, including Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, has created an environment in which bigots feel not only justified but even morally obligated to hate and attack Muslims.

It isn’t only right-wing politicians who have contributed to this atmosphere of hate.

President Obama supports legislation that would restrict the visa waiver program for people who are considered citizens of certain Muslimmajority countries, even if they have never been there.

In the month since the Nov. 13 Paris attacks, there have been 34 acts of discrimination and hate crimes against Muslims in the U.S., according to BuzzFeed. In a six-day span alone, 19 hate crimes were reported, according to U.S. Uncut.

These attacks include

threats to firebomb and “shoot up” mosques, verbal harassment and intimidation of individuals going about their daily lives, death threats (including against one of the only two Muslim members of Congress), vandalism, bombing and shooting.

Muslim women who cover are particularly vulnerable, since their religiously informed clothing choices make them highly visible targets. The night of the Paris attacks, a man shouted racial slurs and pushed a stroller into a pregnant woman’s abdomen in San Diego. The woman was wearing a hijab.

Even non-Muslims are being victimized. In California, a Sikh temple was vandalized by people too ignorant to comprehend that Sikhs are not Muslims and too full of hate to care.

Anyone with brown skin or who looks even slightly “foreign” is a potential target.

Do you remember reading about Kristallnacht in high school? Pogroms? It is no exaggeration to say that we’re not far from that.

So what can you do?

Speak up if you see someone being mistreated. The experience of two young American Muslim women who were verbally assaulted and told to “go back to Saudi Arabia” at Kerbey Lane Cafe in Austin, Texas, was made many times worse by the silence of the other patrons and the refusal of the waitstaff to publicly censure the man who insulted and harassed them.

One of the women, Sirat al-Nahi, wrote on Facebook, “As we turn to leave, Leilah, in tears, says, ‘Just go. Everyone knows we were told very racist things, and this restaurant doesn’t feel the need to address it because who cares about us?’ And somebody called out, ‘Nobody.’ And we left. Because it was true.”

Speak up if you hear anti-Muslim remarks. If you don’t look like you might be Muslim, people who harbor anti-Muslim sentiments will generally feel fairly comfortable sharing those views with you, assuming you will smile and nod in agreement.

Don’t agree, even tacitly through your silence. Don’t

smile or nod. Tell them you don’t share their bigoted views. Try to clear up any misperceptions they might be expressing.

And inform yourself.

Learn some basic information about Islam. There are numerous classes you could take at IU, but you could also just read a book (there are several good introductions to the religion available through the IU library) or get to know Muslims on campus. The IU Muslim Student Union often has events and seems full of friendly and welcoming people.

The more you know about Islam and Muslims, the better equipped you will be to shut down Islamophobic rhetoric when you hear it.

Together, we can help keep our Muslim neighbors safe. woodsmj@indiana.edu @miriamjwoods

When 2016 starts in January, it will be the first time in recent memory where I won’t think of the year in terms of spring and fall semester. It’s going to be a consequential year for multiple reasons; it’s going to be a consequential year for me.

Staring at adulthood feels pretty surreal while you’re trying to process four of some of the most formative years of your life, in a place that’s gradually become a safe constant and a community of which you’ve become a part.

But before I’m no longer an undergraduate, I have to say this to you, IU: thanks.

Here’s to you for being a microcosm of the world.

When you go to a school of this caliber everyday, it’s easy to forget not every university can do what ours does on a regular basis. Thank you to the institution, the departments, the faculty.

Thank you to Bloomington for being a beacon of progress in a state so often lacking it. It’s because of the people of Bloomington — many of whom are brought here because of the University — that the city is so culturally open.

And it is in this openness that I’ve been able to be the most honest version of myself, which is more than I could say growing up on the east side of Indianapolis.

Thanks to Collins LLC for making my freshman year unforgettable. Not only in making my time there feel like I was living in a smaller version of Hogwarts Castle — with its correspondingly ornate dining hall buffet — but more so

Eduardo Salas is a senior in public management.

for helping me understand the value of authenticity.

Here’s to the greek system, for personally teaching me about the intersection of class, race, gender and privilege. It’s funny to think just a couple of years ago how oblivious I might have been to a stratified ecosystem on campus that reflects the real one outside IU’s gates — and the need to continually challenge both.

Thank you to Student Life and Learning for giving me a shot, my first job and skills I’d later apply interning in Washington, D.C. Thank you to all the forces that be for allowing me to have an impossibly perfect internship that, by extension, gave me the insight into how the big boys and girls play in the District.

Thank you so much to my friends and family these last four years for genuinely shaping — in countless ways — who I’ve become and how I see the world.

And of course, thank you to the Indiana Daily Student.

It’s through this platform that I made my voice heard (as can attest the people in positions of power I pissed off throughout the years).

But more importantly, it’s through this platform that I found it.

None of this could have happened without you, IU. Thanks. edsalas@indiana.edu

DOWN WITH DEWITT

The error of finals After 15 strenuous weeks, we are in the final stretch as only one week of final exams stands between us and winter break, Hoosiers.

Exams, for most of us, will count up to 20 to 40 percent of our final grade. A semester full of homework, presentations, projects, essays, pop quizzes and tests comes down to a two-hour exam that measures our knowledge of the material.

But do final exams really measure how much we’ve learned, or do they measure how good our rote memorization skills are and our ability to cram information?

The bottom line is final exams are not an accurate representation of the work a student puts in during the semester, and they certainly are not representative of a student’s learning and retention.

So why do they have the potential to make or break someone’s grade?

My freshman year, I took a course where my final exam was worth 46 percent of my final grade. If that doesn’t have the potential to make or break a grade, I don’t know what does. I’m no math wiz, but I don’t think two hours is proportionate to 15 weeks of work.

Needless to say, I spent the weeks leading up to the exam in a frantic state of studying, crying and consuming my weight in coffee. I finished the class with a B. Fast forward one year and I can confidently tell you that I remember nothing about the

No IU, this was not something that could be fixed by a cuddle session with puppies, no matter how cute they are.

I spent an entire semester too worried about the weight of exams to actually learn anything in the class. Valuable learning time and money was wasted all because of an exam worth half my grade.

I’m not saying we should do away with finals completely, as we need some form of assessment of our knowledge.

I’m saying that instead, these finals should be in the form of a project, presentation or paper where students can show their ability to apply concepts rather than spit out information like a robot.

These alternative forms of finals give students the opportunity to apply their knowledge in a way that pertains to them personally, which is much more meaningful than any test could ever be.

Tests may be a useful tool in determining what students have learned in some cases, but when the test is worth such a significant portion of the final grade and covers 15 weeks worth of material, it isn’t a conducive learning environment for anyone. tatadams@indiana.edu @TatianaDeWitt

KICKBALL

PHOTOS BY GREG GOTTFRIED | IDS

Known as the “Mustache Team,” Derby Sanchez puts a mustache on its jersey in order to play on the sexual term that the team name is based on.

UNDEFEATED AND

UNAPOLOGETIC Many remember kickball as a carefree children’s game. Derby Sanchez doesn’t see it that way.

By Greg Gottfried gigottfr@indiana.edu | @gott31

The unfathomable is happening. Derby Sanchez is losing. After just one inning in the kickball championship, a team that is 440 — a team that has never trailed in its entire history, a team that is known for its merciless domination over every rival — is down two runs.

Nov. 5 has been a historically bad night for Derby Sanchez. After barely reaching the championship game, squeaking by 10-8 in the semi-finals of the Bloomington kickball league, the players are livid as they have just given up more runs than they ever have before. They appear shellshocked. The players are quiet, their eyes glaze over as if they have just stared into the abyss.

To spur themselves on, the players crank up their Bluetooth speakers to blare Drake and Lil Wayne’s “I’m Goin’ In.” Bad to the bristle Hat to the rizzle.

I’m so official all I need is a whistle.

Derby has redefined kickball at Olcott Park. In four seasons, the players have taken home four trophies and are planning to add one more tonight. Along with their prizes, they recruited a former NFL player, whom they recruited through the former Arizona Cardinal’s friend. One evening, after running up the score, the umpire requested the team just kick leftfooted. They didn’t miss a beat and continued the route.

Look at where I landed.

You would think I planned it.

I’m just doing me and you can never understand it.

It’s dark and it’s raining, and Derby is currently struggling to survive. The brashness and confidence the players usually exuded has disappeared. Earlier in the season, when asked whether they would take home the trophy again, without a beat, multiple players said yes. Derby is finally digesting the fact that it might not stay undefeated for long.

“Time to step up,” yells one of the players.

“Let’s fucking go,” cries another.

* * * Derby Sanchez doesn’t play the kickball you remember from elementary school recess. When the players take the field, it’s no longer just for fun and exercise.

This form of kickball is still fun, but it’s a different sport.

With Derby, it’s war.

The Bloomington Adult Sports Club kickball league was originally created for those in the area to make new friends and get some exercise, but Derby’s dominance has fostered competitiveness, a tension that would otherwise not exist. Its game is all about the beauty of ruthlessness.

Other teams use endearing slightly racy names like Pitch Please and Ballz to the Wallz, but Derby’s name is clearly filthy, playing off of a sexual euphemism for something that probably shouldn’t be described in print. Even the squad’s shirts play into the vulgar name. The players don pink short-sleeve shirts emblazoned with “Derby Sanchez.”

The black lettering creates the outline of a mustache.

Entering the 2015 fall Thursday night kickball season at 36-0, Derby Sanchez had already collected four championship belts and had the motto “45-0” as its fuel for the upcoming season.

Alongside a playground — usually populated by toddlers and children from Jackson Creek Middle School — lies the “Play Fields” where Derby Sanchez thrashes its foes.

Every Thursday, Derby tramples other teams like a giant in a Grimm fairy tale. The team finishes the regular season with the scores of: 19-0, 23-0, 19-0, 2-0, 182, 12-0 and 17-0.

Fee-fi-fo-fum. * * * It’s only two runs down, but giving up that much is incomprehensible for the four-time champions.

After getting two players on base, Derby scores on an outfield error and brings its deficit to just one. The inning ends, but at least Derby has something now.

The apprehension that was once prevalent has seemed to wilt. Just scoring one run has reminded Derby of its supremacy in this league. On the Derby sideline, the dead are waking. * * * “I started this team at a Kentucky Derby party,” said Derby Sanchez catcher Audrey Brown.

“I kind of threw it out there. ‘Wanna play kickball?’ And everyone said, ‘Yes.’” Built around a core group of players from their mid-20s to late30s who come back every season, the team has a mythology of its own, built from countless stories of Derby’s swagger and dominance.

Early on in the season because of its tremendous lead, Derby was asked by the umpire to kick left-footed. To the other team’s dismay, the players were just as good and continued to run up the score.

These truths built upon the lore from past seasons, such as when Derby decided a Bluetooth speaker wasn’t enough for July 4.

“They had a professional DJ bring his two big speakers up on the side that Derby was playing,” said Steve Casper, commissioner of the Adult Sports Club kickball league. “They had walk-up music and then played the national anthem.”

The team recently added Ted Bolser, a former tight end for IU football and the Arizona Cardinals practice squad, just a year ago.

“Kevin Powell texted one of my buddies that they needed some bodies,” said Bolser. “They pretty much recruited me. It’s fun, different obviously, but I couldn’t ask for a better team and better people to play with.”

Derby also has some members who can only play in the spring because they’re busy coaching IU football during the fall months. Carter Whitson, senior director of football recruiting; Ryan McInerney, quality control recruiting/defense; and Kasey Teegardin, graduate assistant, have all played for the team and will continue to do so during

Top Derby’s Nate Pope kisses the championship trophy after a 3-2 victory.

Bottom As a show of respect, players on both teams high-five one another after the game.

the college football offseason.

Throughout its undefeated streak, Derby has surely joined the ranks of teams that are spoken about reverentially. * * * After two innings, Derby Sanchez is still down 2-1 against The Btown Kicks, a team its only beat 3-1 in the preceding championship game.

“Come on, guys,” says Kris Scrimager while pacing the sidelines. “This is the top of the lineup, where we should get going.”

In the bottom of the fourth inning, Bolser, who changes the scope of the game with just one kick, boots a low-flying ball that drops right over the head of the third baseman. With the outfielder picking up steam as he throws the ball to second, Bolser’s slide sprays the dirt around him. He touches the base before the ball hits him.

Stress instantly vanishes from the Derby sideline and a few minutes later, an error trying to peg Bolser sends him and fellow base runner Powell home. Now, all Derby needs to do is hold onto the 3-2 lead. * * * These two playoff games are anomalies for Derby’s season where it throttled teams from the get-go. The mercy rule for the league is if a team is up 10 after four innings or 15 after five innings, the leading team wins.

Derby experiences this scenario often.

Playing the Balltenders earlier in the regular season, Derby led 9-0 after two innings, which prompted a member of the opposing dark green team to inquire with the ref about the specifics of the mercy rule. After being told SEE KICKBALL, PAGE 16

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Hoosiers use free throws to defeat Bull Dogs

By Taylor Lehman trlehman@indiana.edu @trlehman_IDS

NOBLE GUYON | IDS

Sophomore guard Tyra Buss rushes towards the basket in the first half against Samford. The Hoosiers beat Samford 65-56 in overtime on Friday at Assembly Hall.

IU beats Samford after rally

By Teddy Bailey eebailey@indiana.edu @TheTeddyBailey

Once the buzzer sounded after IU’s 65-56 victory against Samford, the Hoosiers captured their seventh victory in a young season.

Not many of those victories have been easy for IU Coach Teri Moren and her team, though. IU (7-2) began the season with a rout of inferior Tennessee State in the first round of the Preseason WNIT before surprising No. 24 Chattanooga on its home floor. After a tough loss at No. 19 DePaul in the semifinals of the tournament, the Hoosiers battled to a 79-72 win at IPFW; a pair of games that included a combined 44 turnovers.

From there, IU’s offense sputtered against a talented Ohio team in the Vanderbilt Thanksgiving Tournament before shooting the lights out against Austin Peay in a 90-58 drubbing of the Governors.

The Hoosiers stood at 5-2 after defeating Georgia Tech in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge at home, a win that is expected to stand out at the conclusion of Moren’s second season in Bloomington.

In Moren’s return to the Indiana State sidelines on

Tuesday, IU’s offense sputtered in the fourth quarter despite having a 48-36 lead after three quarters of play.

The Hoosiers were forced to overcome adversity, as Moren’s squad was unable to make a field-goal in the fourth quarter, scoring just five points in that timespan.

The Hoosiers were able to breathe a sigh of relief when the Sycamores’ missed a game-winning 3-pointer.

On Friday night against Samford, IU was forced to play through adversity once more. The Hoosiers trailed by as many as 11 points with four minutes remaining in the third quarter against a Southern Conference team.

IU’s full-court press, courtesy of sophomore guard Tyra Buss and junior guard Alexis Gassion, jumpstarted a 10-0 run that allowed the Hoosiers to take a 46-45 lead entering the final ten minutes of regulation. Though both teams struggled to score down the stretch, IU bounced back from converting just one field goal in the fourth quarter to outscoring Samford 13-4 in overtime.

“One thing that I was really happy with was how we pulled together at the end,” Cahill said. “Last year, when we’d get in these types of

situations down the stretch, we’d kind of pull apart. Today, we really stuck together and that’s something that we’ve been working on.”

Friday represented yet another gritty win the Hoosiers have been able to pull out, regardless of the opponent. A season ago, IU played just two non-conference games that were decided by single digits. However, in 2015-16, the Hoosiers have played six games within an 11-point scoring margin, winning five of them against stronger opposition than last year’s team.

“A big thing to owe that to is chemistry,” Cahill said.

“We’ve been spending a lot of time together off the court.

As we keep going, it’s a good feeling to know that we can stick together toward the end and pull out a win.”

Sophomore forward Amanda Cahill, who tallied her first double-double with 19 points and 11 rebounds, and Buss have led the charge in rallying the team together.

Buss, despite shooting just 3-of-12 from the floor, finished with 15 free throws en route to a game-high 21 points on the night. Cahill played Friday’s game with stitches in her top lip and braces on her teeth after

physical play against Georgia Tech and Indiana State.

Cahill, Buss and Moren all mentioned the importance of IU’s chemistry that has allowed the Hoosiers to rally together during frustrating stretches of games.

“This is a tremendous group,” Moren said. “You can just see that they really enjoy each other. At Indiana State, they were starting to get the disease of me. It was nice to learn that lesson tonight. We saw a completely different team in how together they were.”

The Hoosiers will rest up during finals week before traveling to Miami next weekend for the Florida Sunshine Classic. IU will be presented with tougher challenges in Miami and West Virginia, but as this past week has showed, the Hoosiers might not necessarily be playing the prettiest brand of basketball, but they’re playing a winning brand of basketball.

“We’ve played a lot of games in a short period of time,” Moren said. “We’re going to take a couple days off to allow them to rest. We have finals this week, so we’re going to practice throughout, and we look forward to going down to Florida at the end of the week.”

Sophomore point guard Tyra Buss stood at the freethrow line with the fate of the Hoosiers’ game against Samford resting on her shoulders.

IU was down 52-50 with 11.1 seconds remaining in regulation, and Buss had just been fouled hard on a drive to the basket. IU hadn’t scored a field goal in 4:40, and Buss was now staring at the rim with Assembly Hall silent.

She put the ball up, and it floated silently toward the basket and fell in, making a splash of bright white net as it went. The crowd erupted for a short moment before going silent again.

Buss hit the second free throw to force overtime, and the Hoosiers would go on to defeat the Bulldogs, 65-56.

“Tyra Buss’ free throws there at the end were probably the biggest of her career here,” IU Coach Teri Moren said. “That was huge for us.”

The Hoosiers found a surge in offense in the third quarter, after entering the second half with a six-point deficit, ending with a 10-0 IU run that was capped with a Buss reverse layup to take a one-point lead in the fourth quarter.

The teams scored a combined 13 points in the final quarter.

After going 4:51 without a field goal in the fourth and only shooting 29 percent from the field throughout the entire game, IU went on to outscore Samford 13-4 in the five-minute overtime period to secure its seventh win of the season.

“I don’t know — you tell me,” sophomore forward Amanda Cahill said about the scoring drought in the

fourth quarter. “We were just really struggling.”

IU missed 11 consecutive field goals going into overtime, but it was the free throws that contributed to a large part of its scoring, as 27 of its 65 points came from the line — after IU only recorded nine free-throw attempts against Indiana State on Tuesday night.

Even Buss, who scored a game-high 21 points, only made three field goals. The rest of her points came from 15 free throws.

“We’ve been working on free throw shooting,” Buss said. “Our percentage is not what it should be, so we’ve just really been working on free throws in practice. We’re good free throw shooters.”

Moren said after the near-loss to ISU on Tuesday that IU didn’t push the pace as quickly as she wanted it to, and she also stressed that it needed to get the ball into the post more often, get high percentage shots and reduce turnovers.

Though the shots weren’t falling for the Hoosiers early on, Moren said she told them to continue to attack the basket after they went 0-for-10 from 3-point range.

This resulted in two and-one layups for Cahill and fewer turnovers in transition, as the Hoosiers only turned the ball over 14 times Friday night.

Moren said it was the hustle plays, like Cahill recording five consecutive points, the guards forcing turnovers in transition and Buss hitting two free throws when the result of the game weighed solely on her shots.

“I stepped up there with confidence,” Buss said. “Our team really needed those free throws, so I made sure to take my time, tie it and go to overtime.”

Scoring drought in the 4th At 10:00, Start of the 4th quarter Score: 46-45 At 8:37, Samford layup Score: 49-47 At 4:51, Samford 3-pointer Score: 50-50 At 0:11, Buss free throws, End of regulation Score: 52-52

MEN’S BASKETBALL

IU finds plethora of 3-point opportunities in victory

By Michael Hughes michhugh@indiana.edu @MichaelHughes94

Near the end of the first half Saturday night, junior forward Collin Hartman missed a wide-open 3-pointer. But because he was so wide-open when the ball bounced off the rim to his side of the court, he was able to punch it to sophomore guard Robert Johnson for another wide-open 3-point attempt.

Johnson would make his shot to extend an already large first-half lead against

McNeese State in a 105-60 win in Assembly Hall. IU finished the first half shooting 7-of-13 from behind the arc.

“It was ball movement,” sophomore guard James Blackmon Jr. said. “Our whole team was moving the ball well and that’s something we said at halftime we should keep doing.”

The Hoosiers finished Saturday night making 13 of their 28 3-point attempts, eight of which were without a defender anywhere near the shooter.

The open shots came in a variety of ways. Some were

started with an IU guard like senior Kevin “Yogi” Ferrell driving toward the basket and kicking it out to an open shooter.

With about eight minutes left in the first half, Ferrell was dribbling along the baseline. He was drawing a crowd of defenders, which left his teammates open.

One of those teammates was Blackmon Jr., who was wide open in the corner. He made the shot without any defender close.

Others came in transition, like when Ferrell threw a

half-court pass to senior guard Nick Zeisloft in the corner.

“We had no answer once they started raining threes,” McNeese State Coach Dave Simmons said. “They got the ball out so quick in the transition game and pretty much beat us down the floor and shot open shots.”

One of IU’s first 3-pointers of the game came in transition. Ferrell was dribbling up the court and McNeese State was doing everything it could from stopping him from penetrating the lane.

As a result, Hartman was

left wide open on the wing where he made his only 3-pointer of the game.

Ferrell had seven assists Saturday, four of which led to wide-open 3-pointers.

Blackmon Jr. finished with a game-high 24 points, thanks to shooting 5-of-10 from 3-point range.

One of his 3-pointers in the second half came because of ball movement. Ferrell found junior guard Troy Williams, who was cutting from the corner toward the basket.

Williams beat a man, but still found himself surrounded by

IU 105, MCNEESE STATE 60 Points Blackmon, Jr., 24 Rebounds Bryant, 9 Assists Ferrell, 7

defenders.

So he looked to pass and found Blackmon Jr. wide open in the opposite corner. With no one around, he made the 3-pointer easily.

“It was spacing,” Blackmon Jr. said. “We try to work on that together, so we were talking about that more.”

FOOTBALL

Development under Frey shown in awards

By Brody Miller brodmill@indiana.edu | @BrodyMillerIDS

IU players often say offensive line coach Greg Frey’s greatest attribute is taking players where they can’t take themselves.

Guys like senior left tackle Jason Spriggs say Frey is so good at reading players — regardless of the type of person — and identifying exactly how to get them to their potential. Some people need to be yelled at. Others need to be talked to.

“I definitely needed a kick in the rear,” Spriggs said.

Now, despite the different roads they might have taken, Spriggs and junior guard Dan Feeney are both second team All-Americans, and the coach who helped them get to that point was a semifinalist for an award honoring the best assistant coach in college football.

Spriggs is one of the best examples of development under Frey. IU Coach Kevin Wilson recollected eating lunch with Spriggs before his first game as a freshman.

Spriggs was a 6-foot-6 true freshman who moved from tight end to left tackle before the season. He was about to play against Indiana State, which Wilson said had a highly-touted defensive end facing off with Spriggs.

“I go, ‘Four years from now when you’re playing in the NFL you’re going to go back and remember how bad you were crapping your pants before you played your first game,’” Wilson remembered telling him.

Forty-seven games later, Spriggs is an All-American, and NFL Draft expert Mel Kiper Jr. ranks him as the fifth-best left tackle going into the draft this spring.

Spriggs said he wouldn’t be anywhere near where he is now if he didn’t have a coach like Frey who is prepared to stand up and yell at a player for the player’s benefit. He said Frey doesn’t gain any-

thing from yelling at players, he just likes them enough to push them to improve.

“It can get frustrating, but it’s good,” Feeney said. “You want a coach like that will keep pushing you, that will keep wanting you to do better for yourself.”

But Frey’s techniques are not always aggressive. Sometimes, Frey will bring in milkshakes to reward a good performance on Saturdays. It can be a motivational tool.

“Definitely wanted to get that milkshake,” Feeney said.

Feeney is a player who Wilson often calls the most consistent player on the team.

He came in with the same class as players like Spriggs and senior quarterback Nate Sudfeld. Just like Spriggs, he started all 12 games on the line as a true freshman. But Feeney suffered a seasonending foot injury during the preseason of what would have been his sophomore season.

So he might still have another year playing under Frey.

Frey coaches the offensive line under a man whose reputation began with the same thing. Wilson came up as an offensive line coach at Miami of Ohio University and coached the position group at Oklahoma as well.

Wilson said many people think it can be difficult to coach the area the head coach is known for, but he doesn’t think that’s the case with Frey.

“Greg does an awesome job,” Wilson said. “I don’t walk into his wheelhouse.”

When sitting in front of the media Saturday to discuss Spriggs’ and Feeney’s honors as well as the upcoming bowl game against Duke, Frey joked about how he wished his other linemen were up there with Spriggs and Feeney.

Gone are the days of true freshmen like Spriggs and Feeney starting the whole season. Now, Frey and Wilson

have recruited well enough to have depth and a culture of guys who are capable of stepping in when someone goes down or graduates.

Yes, there are two AllAmericans now, but there is also junior right tackle Dimitric Camiel, who has at least appeared in 36 straight games. There is senior center Jake Reed, who has been entering games at several different positions in his time at IU. “I know you guys are talking about what it’s like having two All-Americans,” Frey said. “Well, it’s competitive. It’s who gets the most knockouts? Who has the best bench? Who ran the fastest?

Who jumped the highest?”

Spriggs and Feeney smirked at each other as he said this.

Frey talked about the culture of people learning under some of the veterans. He said freshmen often come in thinking they work hard and play hard, then realize they aren’t even close.

But then come the moments like earlier Saturday, when Frey said freshman lineman Simon Stepaniak

had an unbelievable one-onone block in practice.

“I’m talking about firing up some fifth-year seniors, which is hard to do,” Frey said.

Part of why the honors for Spriggs and Feeney are considered so impressive is that were awarded to two offensive linemen on a 6-6 team.

Wilson said offensive line honors often go to players on

really good teams because people don’t truly study linemen as much. There are hardly any statistics quantifying their production.

“I think it just shows that our team is doing well enough and growing on that people got some respect for them,” Wilson said. “Those are two really, really good players.”

It is the first time since 1945 that IU has two AllAmerican offensive linemen. And when Frey talks about the development of these guys, he gives credit to them for coming in with self-confidence.

“They came in, they had a vision and a dream, and man they pursued it,” he said. “And it was fun to be a part of.”

Jenett Tillotson sews the ends of an oversized T-shirt as she attempts to make it into a shopping bag during the Discardia Mending Day Saturday in the Monroe County Public Library.

Project uses discarded fabric

By Brooke McAfee bemcafee@indiana.edu | @bemcafee24601

The sound of multiple sewing machines filled the room. Using material from bags overflowing with fabric, both adults and children sewed and worked on projects for Saturday’s Mending Day at the Monroe County Public Library.

Mending Day is a monthly event hosted by Discardia, which is a project for sustainable living.

“Our main goal is to divert textiles from going in the landfill,” Discardia committee member Gail Hale said.

Discardia is part of the Center for Sustainable Living, a nonprofit organization in Bloomington.

The project helps people mend existing clothing or create new clothing from discarded fabric, Hale said.

“It’s all about creative problem solving,” Hale said.

It also encourages the use of reusable bags to prevent the waste from plastic bags. Hale said they create bags made from recycled fabric so they can supply reusable bags for those who cannot afford to buy a more expensive one.

Discardia has played host to Mending Day for over two years, Hale said.

“If people can repair something that they have that fits them well instead of buying new, that keeps the cycle open,” Hale said.

“If you love this shirt, but it doesn’t fit you quite right, make it fit you so you can enjoy it and just make the most of the resources you have available.”

Discardia member Jeanne Smith said she has been involved with the group from the beginning.

Smith was involved with the first Trashion Refashion Runway Show, an annual fashion show that uses discarded materials. Discardia used to have a retail store called ReBoutique, and it evolved into the group gathered at Mending Day, Smith said.

“I like the people I’m around,” Smith said.

BloomingLabs, a maker’s space for community members to build projects, collaborated with Discardia for Saturday’s Mending Day. The two groups often work together, BloomingLabs board member Jenett Tillotson said.

“They are on the same kind of page that Bloominglabs is,” Tillotson said.

“Their goal is to divert materials from the waste stream and find other uses for those materials, and BloomingLabs is all about that — finding

new uses for things and turning them into other things.”

Tillotson said she comes to Mending Day as much as possible to hang out with people and work on creative projects.

At Saturday’s Mending Day, Tillotson created a shopping bag from an old T-shirt.

“I just like to make stuff,” TIllotson said. “Anytime I can make stuff, I’m having a good time.”

Hale said Mending Day has many regulars, and the event is an opportunity for people to be together for four hours each month.

“It’s like a sewing bee, like in the olden days when people really didn’t have all the electronic entertainment and they used to do things by hand,” Hale said. “It brings people together, and it’s something that benefits the community.”

It was just an ordinary night.

We ordered hamburgers, turned on a movie and sat on the two cream-colored couches in the family room. The only exception was the newly added Christmas tree, with its multi-colored lights twinkling in rhythm.

But as I walked up the stairs to have one final night in my room, the butterflies finally began to flutter and I realized my time in Seville, Spain, had finally come to an end.

As I snuggled into my bed, staring at the Marilyn Monroe portrait hanging on the pale blue wall, a flood of images ran through my head.

I rode a camel on the coast of Tangier, Morocco, and enjoyed a day of feasting, dancing and henna tattooing in the mountainous town of Chefchaouen.

I hiked the coast of Italy, a place I always dreamed of visiting as a kid. I saw the tombs of three prominent historical figures — Christopher Columbus, Queen Isabella I of Castile and King Ferdinand II of Aragon.

I tried octopus and snails (which are actually quite delicious, by the way). I learned how to make a Spanish tortilla. I graffiti painted along the river.

I saw the famous Alhambra I spent last semester studying. I finally had my Lizzie McGuire moment and rode around Seville on the back of a motorcycle.

I conducted my first interview in Spanish and wrote my first bilingual story.

I met a fashion designer from Germany, who reminded me of the importance of humility.

I learned how to adapt to

LAUREN SAXE is a junior in journalism.

different countries, different cultures and different values. My language partner became one of my best friends in Seville.

And above all, I now have a second family who has assured me I have a home here forever, and I can return whenever I please.

It seems a little strange to use the saying, “It’s not about where you are, it’s about who you’re with,” to describe a study abroad experience. I mean, the whole point is about where you are, right?

Wrong.

In my short life, I have been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to travel to five of the seven continents. I have collected a handful of countries, but more importantly, I have collected a handful of friends.

“Having a goal is generally deemed a good thing, the goal of something to strive toward,” Ryszard Kapuscinski said. “This can also blind you, however: you see only your goal, and nothing else, while this something else — wider, deeper — may be considerably more interesting and important.”

One of my teachers started and ended the semester with this quote. We always seem to put emphasis on knowing early on what exactly we want to do in life, having a plan to do it and sticking to said plan.

But sometimes, when we enter a situation with absolutely no idea what it is we’re looking for, is when we find the most.

Thank you, Seville, and see you soon.

Student film festival to return for creative third year

By Jack Evans jackevan@indiana.edu | @JackHEvans

When the Student Cinema Guild founded its Crimson Film Festival in 2013, the goal was to create a place where students could show off their work, SCG co-President Victoria Lacy said.

Now, Lacy said she hopes the festival — which returns for a third year this week — can change the popular perception of student film.

“The student films have a reputation for being rushed — something made for class or for a first project — so when people hear it’s a student film festival, people have an aver-

sion to going to see them,” Lacy, a senior, said. “But there’s a lot of films of great quality and filmmakers who have a chance to move on with the industry.”

The SCG will present this year’s Crimson Film Festival at 9 p.m. Tuesday at the IU Cinema. The festival is free but ticketed.

The festival will feature 12 films all of which are shorter than 10 minutes, co-President Benjamin Nichols said. Nichols, a junior, said he supports longer student films, and he’s in post-production on his own feature-length film.

While he said he’d like to see a student festival for features

and anthologies in the future, the SCG set a 10-minute time limit to fit the Cinema’s tight schedule.

Otherwise the SCG refrained from setting guidelines for the films, which come from independent work rather than class projects, he said.

“We want people to be as creative as possible,” he said.

“When you’re in a class, there are so many stipulations ... that you don’t get to be as creative as possible.”

In order to accommodate filmmakers working on longer projects, Nichols said the festival will show trailers for such projects — including the new

film in Matthew Brezina and Emelie Flower’s “Vanguard” series — before the festival entries.

The festival isn’t necessarily limited to entries from IU students and they’ve received outside submissions in the past, but all 12 films screening this year are from IU students, Nichols said.

Lacy said she’s interested in the idea of working with student filmmakers and organizations at other universities.

That could be useful in a state like Indiana, she said, where student filmmakers don’t have access to the media resources of major cities like Los Angeles, Chicago and New

Italy is

York City.

Nichols said Bloomington reminds him of Austin, Texas, another city outside of major media centers that has a strong arts culture. Filmmakers like Richard Linklater and Robert Rodriguez helped make Austin a filmmaking hub, he said, and he could see something similar happening in Bloomington.

“In Bloomington, the town is liberal and quirky enough for that to happen, but it hasn’t happened yet,” he said.

“We haven’t had that superstar filmmaker yet, but the conditions are there.”

He said he hopes the Crimson Film Festival can

show students it’s possible to make a film in Bloomington, even though its film culture hasn’t reached the level of a city like Austin, and making a film in Bloomington can give it a flavor specific to the city.

Lacy said she anticipates this year’s festival to be the biggest one yet.

“I think we’re expecting a bigger turnout than we’ve had in the past, and last year, we saw people bring their friends and families instead of just their film crews,” she said. “My favorite thing is when people get to watch the films on their films on the screen and see people’s reactions, and they’re glowing afterwards.”

IU student predicts celebrity baby names

By Jack Evans jackevan@indiana.edu | @JackHEvans

When rapper Kanye West and reality television star Kim Kardashian West announced the birth of their first son, Saint, Dec. 7, social media filled with reactions — many of them to the child’s name.

Kanye and Kim didn’t release their son’s name until after his birth, but Beth Delany had already known for almost six months.

Delany, a senior journalism student and freelance writer, pitched an article on potential West-Kardashian baby names shortly after Us Weekly reported the couple was expecting a boy. The resulting article, which ran on womensforum.com, suggested Saint as one of 10 possible names for the child.

And even though Delany had several names in mind, she said she was most sure of Saint — “so much so that, when he was named, I felt like I cheated,” she said.

Delany said womensforum.com doesn’t timestamp its articles, but she posted the article to her Facebook page as early as June 16 — nearly a week before Twitter user @KILLRudy predicted the name in a now-viral tweet.

While Saint West is Delany’s latest correct celebrity baby name prediction, it isn’t her first. In 2011,

she won a contest on babynaming website nameberry. com when she correctly predicted two parts of the name of Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck’s second daughter, Seraphina Rose Elizabeth.

Since then, she’s also correctly guessed the names of Jessica Alba’s second daughter, Haven Warren, and Liev Schreiber and Naomi Watts’s second son, Samuel Kai Schreiber.

She said she’s started texting predictions to her friends in advance in case she needs evidence later, and she’s had mixed reactions to her knack for predicting baby names.

“My dad is really proud of me — really oddly proud,” she said. “The people who I applied for jobs with think it’s cool. Other times, people don’t believe me and think I grabbed names from websites. I could do that, but I like to do my own research and find patterns.”

Delany, who’s interested in entertainment media, said she added her baby-naming history to her job résumé.

She said the talent might have helped her land an internship at E! News in 2013.

She got her job at E! because of her answer to their last question, she said.

“They asked if I could name all of Angelina (Jolie) and Brad’s (Pitt) kids, and I named them in order with all

IU senior Beth Delany guessed the name of Kanye and Kim Kardashian West's baby, Saint, months before the couple announced it.

their birth dates and places they were adopted from.”

Delany said her track record on predictions isn’t perfect, but even when she incorrectly guesses a name, she feels like she should have known the correct answer.

Her misses often come when a celebrity has a child for the first time, she said, like when she guessed “Lux” for Kim and Kanye’s first child, North.

And even though her predictions are fairly recent, she

said she’s been fascinated by both celebrities and baby names for most of her life.

She’s been able to remember celebrity baby names and birth dates since she was young, and she can remember where she was at the times of celebrity births, she said.

“And I realize this is really rude now, but when I was little, I used to give random pregnant people name suggestions,” she said.

She’s not particularly in-

terested in the idea of having her own children, she said, but her friends already anticipate having her help in naming their kids.

The only time her talent has resulted in any material gain was in thenameberry.com contest win, with an award of several baby name books signed by writers Linda Rosenkrantz and Paula Redmond Satran, Delany said.

And as far as she knows, she said the knack doesn’t

extend past celebrity baby names.

“Maybe one day something will happen and I’ll realize my powers go beyond (baby names),” she said.

“But I do have confidence this will get me somewhere, because I have put a lot of time into it.”

As for the name Saint, Delany said she likes it — and thinks people tend to be too hard on celebrities for what they name their kids, anyway.

Modeling troupe takes audience on fashion road trip

By Sanya Ali siali@indiana.edu | @siali13

Epiphany Modeling Troupe has been IU’s premiere modeling group for almost a decade. It welcomes an array of models from across cultures to show their style and share a love of fashion.

EMT played host to a fashion show Saturday night in the Wilkie Auditorium in celebration of its ninth year. “Rip the Roadway” was a performative fashion experience, involving a prerecorded narrative storyline to introduce each part of the eight-act show.

President Cora Wells and Vice President Alexis Burrus acted as emcees for the event, incorporating the audience and other performing arts styles, such as spoken word, song and dance.

During the introduction, Burrus said LaTroy Hampton founded the troupe, and Wells elaborated on some of the goals.

Members of the group learn methods to market and promote clothing, makeup, accessories and other products and are trained in runway, posing and attitude.

“We work on encouraging girls to come out of their inner selves, if you will,” Wells said. “We teach them different poses, we have three, one of which is commercial where they express facial expression, any type of emotion. Another is catalogue.”

Burrus added the last category.

“The last one is couture, which is high-fashion,” Burrus said.

The recorded storyline

introduced the concept of a fashion road trip to New York. The two girls on the track delivered lines that hinted at the type of clothing the models would wear in each act.

“Let’s see what all we have,” the recording said.

“Gas, music, how about heels? I think we’re ready to hit the road for the road trip.”

The looks of part one, titled “PREParation,” celebrated a preppy style, with skirts, sweaters and collars.

As the show progressed, models often played off one another, sometimes walking in pairs and striking poses back-to-back, sometimes taking out a cell phone to “selfie.” A runway attached to the regular Wilkie Auditorium stage provided plenty of room to work the looks.

During breaks, Wells and

Burrus gave many opportunities to engage the audience and award prizes. They drew names from a hat for a raffle and allowed audience members a chance to show their personal style on the runway.

Styles worn throughout the show included business professional, formal eveningwear and many others to show the range of poses models perfected throughout their time with EMT. There was great diversity within the other acts throughout the show.

Marselis Byers read aloud a spoken word poem, titled “My Wife,” which covered a heavy topic.

“Don’t you dare touch my wife,” Byers began. “I will defend her to the grave. Kill any who disrespect her, y’all best get out my way.”

The piece went on to

highlight the different roles of the man and wife in the black community, from the days of slavery through civil rights up to present day.

Byers concluded with an important piece of advice for his peers.

“I am the black man and she is the black woman, but when respect fades, black love becomes nothing,” Byers said. “When I think about the past and all the things that we survived and all the pain that we’ve endured, it brings a tear to my eyes.”

One act of the show celebrated models who also work as designers, such as Arriel Vinson and Dai’Chelle Weatherly.

Members of previous executive boards also attended, along with many veterans of EMT. Each had the opportunity to strike their

own poses and show off the confidence that came from their time with the troupe.

Near the end, former vice president Nichelle Harlan took the microphone and introduced the executive board’s finale performance.

“This has been an amazing trip, hasn’t it?” Harlan asked. “As we know, all good things do come to an end, but here at EMT we definitely do not end on a low note or a bad note.”

The finale show is a way to celebrate the hard work of the senior members of the group.

“Typically, we have a scene which features our e-board members, because I bet you all wonder who taught these beautiful models everything they know — that’s the e-board, and they’ve been working very hard this year,” Harlan said.

Freshman Markevious Roach finished the 500-meter dash with a time of 1:02.88. This breaks the meet record for the Hoosier Open.

IU freshman breaks meet record in Hoosier Open

By Zain Pyarali zpyarali@indiana.edu | @ZainPyarali

Freshman sprinter Markevious Roach was 15 meters behind the pack of three runners ahead of him, including his teammate sophomore Daniel Kuhn.

With 150 meters to go in the 500 meter dash Roach started to gain some ground on the field. He hawked down the entire pack with 20 meters left to go in the race as he crossed the line in first place.

Roach’s winning time of 1:02.88 broke the previous meet record for the Hoosier Open — set last year by Kuhn — by more than half a second.

Kuhn finished second after leading most of the race with a time of 1:03.20 which was also better than his meet record that was set last year.

“I didn’t expect to win but coach told me to get my mindset together to believe I can win,” Roach said. “I just followed my coach’s training and did what he told me.”

With that time Roach sits at No. 1 in the nation on the young season in the 500 meter dash. Roach admitted that the accomplishment was surprising and never really thought he would be in this situation so early in his collegiate

career.

IU Coach Ron Helmer talked earlier in the week how he was intrigued to see how his large freshman class would respond and to see how the upperclassmen would lead them.

“Cornelius went out and did what seniors are supposed to do,” Helmer said. “Daniel Kuhn in the 500 was right behind Markevious. He did a great job of patting him on the back telling him nice job you just beat me, I respect it.”

On the women’s side, junior middle distance runner Madison Stenger finished third in the 1,000-meter run behind two unattached runners with a time of 2:49.71 second best in school history. The Hoosiers distance team was the bright spot on the women’s side with redshirt sophomore Corrine Cominator winning the mile with three Hoosiers trailing right behind her.

“I think we did really well and I think the freshman surprised a lot of people which is cool cause it’s always really fun to have people to race against and push you to be better,” Stenger said.

Redshirt sophomore Jordan Huntoon burned the field in the final 200 meters in the men’s 1,000-meter run

MEN’S 500-METER DASH Roach 1:02.88 Kuhn 1:03.20 Cogdell (TU) 1:03.37

to win the race with a time of 2:27.52. Freshman Willie Morrison also got high praise from Helmer on his performance in the shot put where he placed second with a toss of 17.76 meters.

In the men’s 5,000-meter run, athletes from various schools outside the full squads of Purdue, Tennessee, Kentucky and IU partook in the race. Northern Arizona’s Futsum Zienasellassie thought he had the race won with marginable lead on the rest of the field until Portland’s William Kincaid kicked it in the final lap to chase down Zienasellassie with 20 meters left to win the race stunning the crowd.

“We had some places where I felt like we got exactly what we were hoping to get competitive spirit and other places where we didn’t and that’s kind of what you expect in a December meet,” Helmer said. “We want to have a good meet, and it’s everybody’s job to get ready and a number of people did just that.”

they were on their way to achieving this goal, the player replied, “Ah ... shit.”

In order to play close and not be embarrassingly blown out, members of rival teams have asked Casper how his teams have done so well. His team, Ballsagna, only lost 2-0 to the champs.

“We try to keep a lot of people in the infield because they place the ball so well,” said Casper explaining his strategy. “The big thing is getting their guys out and not letting them get on base because they’re fast, they’ll slide and you have to try to slow them down.” * * * The end of the championship is wet and filled with tension. A member of the crowd matter-of-factly states, “I could pee myself so much out here and no one will notice.” Derby takes the field with energy, teammates running and yelling to pump each other up. The players know how close they are to finishing off another perfect season.

To ensure maximum control, pitcher Brian Crooks wipes the kickball

with a white — eventually brown — towel before every pitch that he tucks into the front of his pants.

Depending on who’s kicking, the infielders and outfielders back up or move in regards to the kicker. One who bunts merits a few steps in, while a player with a big leg requires someone to holler, “He went deep last time, move back.”

Ahead 3-2 at the top of the seventh inning, with Derby just three outs away, a fly ball is easily caught by infielder Powell. “Great fucking catch, man,” Bolser yells. “Needed that.” This is promptly followed by a bunt that sends a girl to second. On the next play, the ball lofts in the air, Bolser dives from shortstop to make a Superman-like snag. He nonchalantly tosses the ball to first, as the runner doesn’t realize the catch was made.

Fin. * * * After Derby escapes with the 3-2 victory, one of the initial responses from Nate Pope and a few other teammates is to take a photo kissing the trophy.

“This is the fourth time he’s taken this picture,” Pope’s girlfriend says. He kneels on the ground and kisses

the trophy. This time, after three other instances of this embrace, the trophy finally breaks.

The uppermost piece, a tiny cup atop the award, falls to the damp grass, but Derby doesn’t flinch.

The players laugh, because it’s not like anyone else will take home the trophy in the future. The broken piece will hopefully forever be theirs. They take the mandatory championship picture, holding up five fingers in case anyone forgets.

Before the parks department shuts off the lights, Derby players make sure to quickly and boisterously work their way over to huddle around a Ford truck parked right by the park’s entrance. The truck lights are the only way for the players to see as the overarching floodlights give in to the darkness.

The celebratory hoots and hollers continue.

The champions stand there drinking Miller Lites, out of the bottle or a Pizza X cup, just talking. About the game, about the season, about whether or not they could go to the Video Saloon and use their $100 bar tab kickball winnings.

They gather around with the front-lights illuminating their faces gold.

2 offensive linemen earn national recognition in All-America honors From IDS reports

Senior left tackle Jason Spriggs and junior right guard Dan Feeney earned All-American honors for the 2015 season.

Spriggs earned second team honors from the Walter Camp Football Foundation while Feeney received second team recognition from CBS Sports.

This is the first time since 1945 two IU offensive linemen have earned All-America honors, when

Howard Brown and Russ Deal earned All-America recognition.

The Hoosiers have had three players earn national All-American status in the last two seasons, since former Hoosier running back Tevin Coleman earned the honor in 2014.

Spriggs has started 46 of his 47 games at left tackle and is one of six players to be named a finalist for the 2015 Outland Trophy. He has also allowed just two sacks in 431 pass attempts in 2015.

Feeney hasn’t allowed a sack in those same 431 pass attempts, and he has allowed just one in all 36 starts at right guard. Feeney was named to the First Team AllBig Ten team.

Though the Hoosiers rank 10th nationally in sacks allowed with 13, they lead the Big Ten in total offense, scoring offense and passing offense. They rank second in the conference in rushing offense.
