When inmates need help
By Ashleigh Sherman
T
he jail had a perfect record. For almost 30 years, there were no suicides. When two correctional officers rushed into Jeffrey Dugan Jr.’s jail cell at 11:30 p.m. Sunday, the streak of success was broken. He was hanging by a noose made from pieces of his mattress top. The officers lowered his body and tried to resuscitate the 33-yearold, Sheriff Brad Swain said, but the man was already dead. Before the incident, no one suspected anything. Dugan’s fellow inmates said he seemed fine, though he had just broken up with his girlfriend. Attempts are common in the jail setting, but since 1986, they have all been unsuccessful, Swain said. All the right steps were being taken to prevent suicides. Monroe County Jail administration even exceeded expectations when it hired a full-time psychologist to handle mental health issues in the jail.
Don Weller counseled hundreds of inmates for suicide in his first year working as the jail’s counselor. Jail officers screen inmates carefully when they are booked, trying to determine who might be at risk. But some slip through the cracks. ‘The new mental health hospitals’ Jails are intended to deter people from committing crimes, not act as mental health hospitals. But in Monroe County, now more than ever, people experiencing mental illness are winding up in jail, blurring the line between healing and punishment. Power holders of the correctional community — the jail commander, a public defender, a circuit court judge and others — can’t pin down why they are seeing so many inmates who experience mental illness. They can’t be expected to, with no way of tracking the population, no checkbox for a jail officer

In his first year alone, Weller saw 1,180 inmates for mental health concerns, an amount which represents about 20 percent of people booked into the jail annually.

RUGBY
Club team prepares for national championship By Alison Graham akgraham@indiana.edu | @AlisonGraham218
Three minutes remain until practice begins. Players sit on metal bleachers, lace up their cleats and wait for the coach to arrive. Three of them try to kick a ball into a trash can and laugh when they miss. Another player makes a Spongebob reference. IU Coach Sopa Enari walks up the hill to Evan Williams Field where his team is waiting for him. After a quick scrimmage, he brings his team in for some pointers, especially about defense. “You have to think, ‘what is the best decision that you can make?’” he tells them. Those decisions will play a large part in the IU rugby team’s next big championship, which is only four weeks away.
After winning the Big Ten Rugby Sevens Tournament on April 18, the rugby team qualified for the Penn Mutual Collegiate Rugby Championship and the College Sevens National Championships. But the team’s success didn’t always come easy. After 2006, the rugby team consisted of good players, but they weren’t going anywhere. They stopped advancing in competitions, Enari said. Enari had coached the rugby team from 1994 to 2006 before he left to work on the West Coast. He was asked to return as coach in 2013. The team went undefeated in the first season. “The boys wanted their rugby career at IU to mean something,” SEE RUGBY, PAGE 6
The Bloomington Faculty Council approved a policy addressing the creation, reorganization, elimination and merger of academic units and programs, or CREM, during its last meeting of the semester Tuesday. Ilana Gershon and Jon Simons, associate professors in the Department of Communication and Culture, and Cassidy Sugimoto, professor in the School of Informatics and Computing, presented the proposed policy. With the proposal, University, campus or school administrators, faculty through their governance bodies and students through their governance bodies may initiate a CREM. These interested parties must provide a prima-facie case explaining why the CREM is desirable and feasible. If all interested parties accept the prima-facie case, the affected faculty, staff, undergraduate students and graduate students, elected by the deans of the individual schools and by their representative bodies, will form an internal review committee, which will then make recommendations on the CREM. Individuals not employed by IU, elected by the deans of the individual schools and by the internal review committee, will form an external review committee, which will also make recommendations on the CREM. Eligible voting faculty affected by the CREM will then vote to proceed or not. If the affected faculty vote to proceed with the CREM, ex officio members of the offices of the deans of the individual schools and affected faculty, staff, undergraduate students and graduate students elected by the internal review committee will form a planning committee, which will make the final proposal for

Residential Programs and Services recently voted to terminate the lunch buffet hours at the Edmondson Dining Hall at Collins Living-Learning Center, and students have expressed concern regarding the vote.
Collins fights to keep lunch By Bridget Murray bridmurr@indiana.edu @bridget_murray
Residents of Collins Living-Learning Center hosted a town hall meeting last Thursday evening to determine the fate of the lunch buffet in the Edmondson Dining Hall. Vice President of Internal Affairs at Collins Stephón Gilder said Residential Programs and Services recently voted to terminate the lunch buffet hours. He said Edmondson Dining Hall has been operating in the red for the past 15 years. “We’re buying healthier food, and healthier food tends to be more expensive,” Gilder said. Food waste and salaries are other contributing factors. Gilder said a large part of their dining staff is comprised of full-time employees whose pay tends to be larger than student staff. As far as budgeting, Collins dining spends about 40 percent of their budget on buying food when they should be spending 30 percent, and about 50
percent of their budget on salaries when they should be spending 40 percent, Gilder said. The meeting was called because residents felt underrepresented by the decision made by RPS, Gilder said, and was used to propose alternative solutions. “It sort of determined that for the next few years we will be working closely with them to monitor the financial state of the Edmondson Dining Hall just to make sure that we aren’t sort of in this situation again,” Gilder said. A team is being assembled to draft five proposals that will be presented to RPS, Gilder said. He said residents felt a lack of communication between Collins and RPS and that he hopes to maintain more continuous communication with RPS about this issue. Marcy Simpson, director of finance for RPS, said the meal plan committee that made the decision had representatives from Collins but understands why most residents might feel partial toward keeping the hours. Collins is a special

community, and the dining program only adds to it, Simpson said. She said it’s a program RPS is proud to support. She said cutting back on hours and food waste will be the beginning of stabilizing the financial state of Edmondson Dining Hall, which is something RPS has done through the years with other dining facilities on campus. “We still have work to do,” Simpson said. “By changing the setup for lunch and offering a different food option, it will cut back on waste.” Although the buffet hours may be cut, Gilder said, there will still be lunch options at Collins. Gilder said he hopes to come to a conclusion with RPS that will keep Edmondson Dining Hall sustainable. “For residents at Collins, it is more than just an eating facility,” he said. “It’s part of our culture; it’s part of how
we build community here.” Collins resident assistant Megan Day, a junior, said she agrees. As a previous resident of Foster Quad, she said she feels a sense of community in Collins that a student cannot find in other residence halls. Day said the dining hall only enhances that experience. “It is essential to create that sense of community,” she said. “It’s the last traditional dining on campus. If we start taking away hours, it makes me wonder where that’s headed.” Simpson said the decision regarding Edmondson Dining Hall hours should be made by fall 2015. According to the RPS website, the buffet currently operates 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Sunday through Friday for lunch and 5-7 p.m. Monday through Thursday for dinner.
Rent-A-Puppy aims to relieve stress By Alyson Malinger afmaling@indiana.edu | @aly_mali
Because the week before finals is stressful, several groups on and off campus try to combat stress with events and activities for students to enjoy. The Lutheran Campus Ministry at IU, partnered with the Monroe County animal shelter, will host its fourth annual RentA-Puppy event Thursday in Dunn Meadow. About 15 puppies from ages two and three months and seven to eight other dogs will be available to play with from 1-5 p.m. within the perimeters of Dunn Meadow. All dogs must stay within in the boundaries of the area. Although the event is geared toward amending students’ stress, anyone with a valid student or state ID is welcome to play with the dogs. It is $5 to rent a puppy to play with for a half-hour allotted time slot. People sign up on a firstcome, first-served basis, filling up the time slots that are available. When a participant’s time slot is scheduled, the animal shelter volunteers will give the person a dog in exchange for the valid ID. Participants receive their ID back once their half-hour has allotted, and the dog must be returned. Proceeds are split between the two organizations evenly. In the past, however, the Lutheran Campus Ministry has donated significant proceeds of their total back

The 2015-16 IU-Bloomington Patten Lecture Series announced its lineup of speakers for the upcoming school year. The William T. Patten Foundation presents the lectures under the auspices of the Office of the Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs. The series brings scholars of national and international distinction in the science, humanities and arts to the IU-Bloomington campus. Three distinguished scholars in each of their respected fields have been selected to speak about the newest revelations in a variety of sectors including the sciences, the humanities and the arts. “William Patten established this foundation,” Indermohan Virk, executive director of the foundation, said. “His gift to the University was to bring the best and the brightest to campus from writers, scholars, musicians and so on.” The lecturers for this upcoming year will include Nancy Folbre, James Scott and Jill Lepore, all experts in their respected fields of economics, political science and history. Folbre, professor emerita of economics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, explores the relationship between the political economy and feminist theory, with a focus on caring work and other forms of non-market work. Her research has prompted a fundamental reevaluation of the way economists, sociologists and other social scientists think about the meaning of labor and about the linkage between family and the economy. She has published more than 10 books, including “The Invisible Heart:
Patten lecture info Visit patten.indiana.edu to learn about the history of Patten lectures Economics and Family Values” and “Greed, Lust and Gender: A History of Economic Ideas.” James Scott, the Sterling Professor of Political Science at Yale University, has research focusing on an analysis of the state, resistance and anarchism, and a reimagining of the history of mainland Southeast Asia. His books include “Weapons of the Weak: Everyday Forms of Peasant Resistance,” “Domination and the Arts of Resistance: Hidden Transcripts” and “Seeing Like a State: How Certain Schemes to Improve the Human Condition Have Failed.” Jill Lepore, the David Woods Kemper ‘41 Professor of American History at Harvard University, is most known for changing public opinion by challenging the official version of historical events. Much of Lepore’s research, teaching and writing explores absences and asymmetries of evidence in the historical record. Her current work concerns the histories and technologies of evidence and privacy. Lepore’s books include “The Name of War: King Philip’s War and the Origins of American Identity,” “The Story of America: Essays on Origins” and “The Secret History of Wonder Woman.” In addition, Lepore is a staff writer at The New Yorker. All lectures are free and open to the public and intended for speakers to both engage with audience members and feel welcomed by the IU and Bloomington community. “What I always hope to see is a greater attendance,” Virk said. “That is the hope of the foundation.”
IU4Nepal to host forum Thursday discussing last week’s earthquake From IDS reports
IU4Nepal is hosting a public forum Thursday to discuss the earthquake that struck Nepal last weekend. The event will be at 7 p.m. in the Grand Hall of the NealMarshall Black Culture Center, according to an IU press release. The forum will include speeches by IU faculty and administrators as well as Nepali students and faculty, according to the release. There will also be a candlelight vigil after the event at Showalter Fountain to honor those affected by the quake. “Our students were eager to help as soon as they heard about the devastating earthquake in Nepal,” said Melanie Castillo-Cullather, director of the Asian Culture Center and lead organizer of the event, in the release. “We immediately received emails from students, faculty and community members offering
to collaborate and help in organizing a response.” As of yesterday, 4,682 people have died and another 9,240 people were injured by the 7.8-magnitude quake, according to the release. Speakers at the forum will include Samrat Upadhyay, a professor of English; Santosh Adhikari, a doctorate economics student; and Michael Hamburger, a professor of geological sciences, according to the release. The forum will connect people with ways to contribute to relief efforts. “All of us at IU-Bloomington are deeply saddened by the earthquake in Nepal,” Provost Lauren Robel said in the release. “Our campus community stands ready to aid the Nepali people as they undergo their cultural, economic and environmental recovery from this terrible disaster.” Suzanne Grossman

to the animal shelter. “It definitely brings joy and comfort to campus during a very stressful time for students,” said Haley Garl, IU sophomore and member of Lutheran Campus Ministry. Garl assisted in the planning and execution of the event last year and is volunteering Thursday as well. Once the event is done and all the animals have been put back into their respective cages, the dogs are open to the public for adoption. Many dogs have been
adopted after the event in the past, Garl said. Lutheran Campus Ministry urges interested participants to come before the event starts to sign up for a time slot. With more than 1,000 confirmations of attendance on the Facebook event, they are expecting large amounts of people to play with the finite amount of dogs. In efforts to advertise the event, various photos of the puppies up for adoption have been posted sporadically on the Facebook event page to generate coverage.

Students, volunteers awarded for service By Lyndsay Jones jonesly@indiana.edu | @lyndsayjonesy
A buzzing BuskirkChumley Theater filled with Bloomington volunteers Tuesday evening as they gathered to celebrate the 2015 Be More Awards. For the past 32 years, the Be More Awards have honored active volunteers and nonprofit organizations that have committed themselves to community service. Joe Hren, one the event’s master of ceremonies alongside Bet Savich, urged people to consider the necessity of those who sacrifice their time for the community. “It’s a common mistake to think volunteering is just about ‘doing something nice,’� Hren said. He went on to explain Bloomington’s volunteers fill gaps in the system — that they support those without a support system. Savich agreed, and imagined what the community would look like without its volunteers. “Think about ... what basic needs would go unmet,� Savich said. In total, 57 groups and individuals were nominated for the Be More Awards, including a group of Eigenmann Hall residents for the Be More Involved Award for their off-campus service. The awards spanned 11 categories, each focusing on a community need. Those needs ranged from literacy, animal welfare, health and wellness
to environmental stability and arts and culture. Often, each award had several nominees. Both the Be More Knowledgeable Award and the Be More Creative Award had 18 nominees. The Be More Knowledgeable Award was the first presented. The Crane Chapter of Blacks in Government took it home for their work with high school youth. Brian Price, the CEO of IU Credit Union, explained why. “This year’s winner provided free SAT test preparation, and if you’ve had to take it, you know it’s hard,� Price said. “This group is small in numbers but large in impact.� Only two of the chapter’s members were able to walk onstage, but they cheered loudly when they heard their name called and passed the octagonal glass plaque around proudly as it glinted in the stage light. Throughout the ceremony, a range of community needs were mentioned because of the volunteers honored. Audrey Jo Williams won for her work with the Bloomington Symphony Orchestra. Williams works with orchestra to collect used instruments, repair them, and give them to children or schools in need. Before she left the stage, she leaned into the microphone halfjoking, half-serious. “If you have any used instruments in your closets at home, call me,� Williams said. “I’ll find a home for it.�

NAACP holds candidate forum for mayoral race By Neal Earley njearley@indiana.edu | @neal_earley
Just one week away from the primary election, the Monroe County Chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People met with Bloomington’s three mayoral candidates in a forum Tuesday night at the Second Baptist Church. The candidates, John Hamilton, John Turnbull and Darryl Neher, took turns standing in front of the attendees, introducing themselves and answering questions. Each candidate had about 25 minutes to speak. Hamilton was the first to speak. He discussed his background as a state government official under Gov. Frank O’Bannon and as a community organizer while he was living in Washington, D.C. “I thought ‘What do I want to do in this city of Washington, D.C.?’� Hamilton said. “I’m a white guy from Indiana and I moved to D.C. ... I didn’t want to work in national government. I wanted to work in the city of Washington, D.C.� Hamilton talked about his work with City First Enterprises, a non-profit bank holding company. Hamilton discussed how he saw the issue of redlining — the practice not lending money to people in poorer neighborhoods — while he
lived in Washington D.C. and how he believes the digital divide is a new form of redlining. Hamilton said Bloomington residents rely on Comcast or AT&T to build the digital infrastructure for their neighborhoods. Hamilton is proposing a plan for community owned broadband throughout Bloomington. Hamilton was asked about the issue of homelessness and if the city suffered financially from acting as a hub for struggling people seeking social and government services and improving mental health and public education. Next to speak at the forum was John Turnbull, the only Republican candidate for mayor. Turnbull currently works as the sports division director for the Bloomington Department of Parks and Recreation. Turnbull talked about coming from a diverse and racially tense high school in Michigan. “I am determined to recruit the most diverse and talented senior management team the city of Bloomington has ever seen,� Turnbull said. Turnbull said the issues in Bloomington are not political ones. He mentioned the missing case of Lauren Spierer and the parking meters ordinance, among others. Turnbull said these issues are about
management, not politics. Turnbull addressed the issue of diversity in the Bloomington Police Department, how he thinks the state government is attacking public education, his support for the Affordable Care Act and networking with IU. Last to come to the microphone Tuesday night was city council member and Kelly School of Business senior lecturer Darryl Neher. Neher talked about his working class background coming from North Manchester, Ind. Neher said he was encouraged by current mayor Mark Kruzan and said his platform was based upon doing the essential task of the city government right. “First and foremost I’m running on a platform that says we have an obligation to get the basics right,� Neher said. “You expect us to deliver the essential public services that you use every single day.� Neher addressed issues such as affordable housing and how it relates to poverty in the city. Neher answered question on infrastructure, the city’s character and how he wants to see the space currently occupied by Bloomington Hospital be used after the IU Health move from Second Street to near the Indiana 46 Bypass. The primary election is Tuesday.
“This has been a great experience for me and for these people,� she said. “I’m definitely looking forward to being in it again since I’m only in seventh grade.� Perhaps one of the most inspiring winners of the evening was Wain Martin, who took home the Be More Phenomenal Award. Martin is a board member of New Leaf, New Life who has been volunteering for the Monroe County
Correctional Center for the past nine years. He has hosted bingo nights for those who are incarcerated and provided some with toiletries as well. That was in addition to volunteering with Meals on Wheels and working with his own church. When Martin took the stage, the audience stood in respect for the first time. Martin was short, with a curvature in his back. But he wore a smile and grasped
everyone’s hand onstage in a genuinely thankful way. “I feel like the tip of the iceberg: the spokesperson makes me look good,� Martin said. “It’s a marvelous opportunity that I have.� Mayor Mark Kruzan took the stage to close out the evening and deliver the last award. “Think about the untold stories and thousands of hours (of the volunteers),� Kruzan said.
Indiana one of worst states for environmental quality By Annie Garau agarau@indiana.edu | @agarau6
Indiana is on track to become infamous as one of the lowest ranked states for environmental quality. The Hoosier state was named 43rd for environmental quality and 47th for eco-friendly behaviors in a recent study conducted by the financial website WalletHub. Indiana also came in 47th for median air quality. “I knew it would be bad, but I guess I wanted to be optimistic and think we weren’t that terrible,� junior Meg Owens said about the rankings. “I think a lot of people wouldn’t know just how bad it is. I feel like that’s a job for our government and other people in power to make it known that it’s a pressing issue.� For the environmental quality calculations, all states were evaluated based on factors such as municipal solid waste per capita, public exposure to particulate matter, water quality, the median pH of soil and carbon dioxide emissions. “I think in terms of air quality, that’s related to our fuel mix, which is very high in carbon content,� IU Director of Sustainability Bill Brown said. “So the states that burn a lot of coal are going to be ranked pretty low in terms of air pollution because of that, whereas the states that have hydro or a lot of renewable energy are going to have less air
pollution.� Brown said he also feels economic and cultural norms in Indiana might have influenced the ranking. “There is a lot of manufacturing in Indiana,� he explained. “States with more manufacturing use the most electricity and burn the most fuel. We’re also more rural, so people can’t walk everywhere. We drive long distances and also use a lot of gasoline for agriculture.� To determine the most eco-friendly states, the researchers looked at indicators such as the number of Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design certified buildings per capita, energy consumption, gasoline consumption, water consumption, green transportation and recycling rates. Brown was less confident about using this set of criteria. “There’s a lot of different variables in all of those things,� he said. “Any kind of metric or ranking is open to interpretation, so I think you have to be careful about extrapolating behavior from numbers like that. In terms of environmental quality, though, that’s something you can measure so that part of it is pretty clear.� Climate change is already effecting the state. In fact, Indiana climatologists are predicting that by 2050, Hoosiers will likely walk out of their doors and into a climate much like that of Alabama or Texas today.
MOVIES • LIVE MUSIC • BOWLING • BILLIARDS • CRAFTS... AND MORE!
“The idea is known as spatial analog and is based on the expectation that Indiana’s climate will become warmer over the coming decades,� said Scott Robeson, a climatologist in the Department of Geography. He explained that, along with increased temperatures from higher greenhouse gas concentrations, Hoosiers should also expect heavier rainfalls. “The temperature changes will likely increase the length of the growing season, but increases in precipitation are expected to occur in winter and spring and therefore may not coincide with crop and residential needs,� Robeson said. Experts do not think it’s too late for Indiana to turn its sustainability performance around. “We’re one of the leading wind states in terms of new wind production, so that’s an option,� Brown said. “Bloomington also happens to have one of the highest concentrations of residential renewable energy in the state, so locally our renewable energy mix is probably higher than statewide.� Owens said he felt studies such as the WalletHub report are good for motivating people to take action. “It’s just embarrassing,� she said. “It’s like us being the fourth fattest state, too. It’s those kinds of statistics that make people ashamed and make them want to try and change things.�

EDITORIAL BOARD
Taking back apologies “I’m sorry!” I find myself saying this phrase for just about anything these days. After I state a strong opinion in class, I’d apologize for it immediately without anyone ever voicing that it was wrong or offensive. I’d even apologize for asking questions. When I thought I was in someone’s way, I’d apologize up and down. Throughout my day, I apologize so many times that I completely exhaust the word “sorry.” When I realized my apologetic habit, I looked around and noticed that other women had the same strange habit. They were also sorry for things that seemed insignificant. In times when an apology was necessary, many of us tend to over-apologize. I was often told, “OK, I get it. You’re sorry. That’s enough. You can stop now,” by people I spent my exhaustive apologies on. As women, our society has seemed to ingrain a strong submissive behavior in us. Many of us panic at the thought that we are personally offending someone. We have a habit of assuming they are offended by us stating an opinion or asking a question. If the person doesn’t appear to be offended, we still apologize. Men do not seem to have this problem. We as women need to break this habit. When I realized how frequently I apologized for insignificant things that didn’t offend anyone at all, I attempted to break that habit.
Elisa Shrack is a senior in human development.
When I raised my hand in class, I asked the question directly without being sorry. If I had an opinion, I stated it unapologetically. I began to save my apologies for situations in which people told me they were offended. When I broke my “sorry” habit, I found many situations I apologized for before didn’t actually offend anyone. I realized how unnecessary it truly was. It turned out that one “sorry” was enough, and a whole slew of apologies wouldn’t have improved the situation any more. Without all our petty and unnecessary apologies, we sound more confident. I started to help my fellow unnecessarily apologetic lady friends. When they would drop an irrelevant “I’m sorry,” I simply asked them why they were so sorry. A surprising number of them realized they didn’t know why they were. I told them not to apologize for anything unless they have obviously hurt someone or a person had voiced an offense. Not being sorry has been completely freeing for me. When we ask a question or state an opinion, let’s do it with complete confidence. Who we are and what we do is not greatly offending anyone. We don’t have anything to be sorry for. Let’s stop apologizing for who we are. eshrack@indiana.edu
SHELLING IT OUT
A White House address Most people can only dream of the honor of being invited to the annual White House Correspondents’ dinner. But this year, Saturday Night Live star Cecily Strong made that dream a reality. Strong was noted as the fifth woman to host the dinner and gave a risqué speech that left the audience in awe. “Feels right to have a woman follow President Obama, doesn’t it?” is the statement Strong chose to open her speech with, but that was only the beginning of a long span of racy discussion. From making fun of the vice president to addressing the stereotypes of each of the news outlets that were represented at the dinner, Strong did not hold back from addressing any issue or individual. She even made a point to address some “taboo” topics that made the audience gasp. “I promise, since I’m only a comedian, I’m not going to tell you politicians how to do politics or whatever,” Strong said. “That’d be like you guys telling me what to do with my body. Can you even imagine?” Strong’s sarcastic tone and witty commentary got the audience hooked as she continued. With the excessive amounts of police brutality in the world today, it’s no surprise Strong made it another talking point. “Let’s give it up for the Secret Service,” Strong said. “They’re the only law enforcement agency in the country that will get in trouble if a black man gets shot.” Strong eventually addressed President Obama and thanked him “for taking time away from Jimmy Kimmel to be here,” which even made the president himself chuckle. My favorite part of the address, though, has to be when Strong was talking about the candidates who had just announced their

presidential campaigns. She asked all the media correspondents in the room to raise their right hand and repeat an oath for the election season: “I solemnly swear not to talk about Hillary (Clinton)’s appearance, because that is not journalism.” Although Strong might have made some people feeling uncomfortable, the speech was backed by nothing but truth and good intentions. The media was buzzing when Clinton announced her presidential candidacy, mostly because she is the first woman trying to be the leader of the free world. With any woman in mainstream popular culture, it’s more common to have them featured on a segment like “Fashion Police” instead of in primetime news networking. Unless we’re about to start debating Marco Rubio’s suit choices and lack of appealing tie colors, Clinton should be treated just like any male candidate running for office. Strong’s addressing of this issue was one that needed to be made and got the point across respectfully and lightheartedly. Overall, I believe Strong’s White House Correspondents’ dinner speech was right on the money. She said what many Americans have been thinking, and she addressed hard issues with humor and grace. It takes a lot of courage to stand before the most powerful individuals in the United States and several hundred of their closest friends and speak — and joke — about issues that have been strongly debated for months. Strong’s full-length speech can be found and glorified on YouTube. snvanden@indiana.edu

Age of ultimate sexism WE SAY: Female superheroes have a long fight Jeremy Renner and Chris Evans are both in hot water after some sexist remarks during an interview with Digital Spy this past week. In the interview, the two “Avengers: Age of Ultron” actors were asked why Black Widow, played by Scarlett Johansson, gets romantically involved with so many of the Avengers. In a show of simple-minded humor, Renner and Evans joked that Black Widow was simply a “slut” or a “whore.” Now, we here at the Editorial Board are all for cheap laughs. The low-hanging fruit might not be the most sophisticated humor out there, but it certainly isn’t beyond us. However, there is a line, and these actors both crossed it. Of course, neither actor meant any sort of real harm with his comments. Chris Evans actually issued an apology, stating he had “answered in a very juvenile and offensive way that rightfully angered some fans.” Though it’s nice to know Captain America didn’t mean anything sinister with his comments, the fact still
remains that this is a major problem with the world we live in. The problem here is the same sort of slut-shaming we see every day in modern society. Had the actors been asked about Tony Stark’s many sexual escapades, the actors probably would have joked about how much of a man he is because of how many women he sleeps with. But the second a female character shows some sort of sexual endeavor, she’s instantly branded a slut and a whore. This is taken to an entirely new level when you realize Black Widow barely gets any merchandise of her own. Fans of all Avengers from Iron Man to the Hulk can find a wide variety of their favorite character’s merchandise. Hoodies, costumes and a variety of other items can be found with these familiar faces on them. But dedicated fans of Black Widow are left out in the cold.
From the official Marvel store, Black Widow only has a mug, mousepad and T-shirt available. Honestly, we don’t really care that Marvel isn’t attempting to cash in on one of its trademarked characters. What bothers us is the fact that women are basically left to be background characters in movies such as this. And unfortunately, it is nothing new in the superhero world. Black Widow is allowed to be portrayed as a sexual object or even a romantic one, but she isn’t allowed to be cool enough to warrant her own merchandise. Her character has such a fascinating story and background, but the guys at Marvel would rather spend their time focusing on who she has feelings for. Evans and Renner definitely weren’t trying to hurt anyone with their comments, as shown by Evans’ truly sincere apology. However, their inappropriate and ill-mannered jokes definitely show that we still have a lot of work to do.

A curious look into a whole new world In a statement that has made me nerd out hard, NASA has announced it will create a multidisciplinary team in order to continue its search for alien life. The Nexus for Exoplanet System Science, or NExSS, will bring together experts in planetary science, heliophysics, astrophysics and many other disciplines in order to understand how life could form on other planets. As readers of my column will know, I am a huge fan of space exploration. Ever since I was a kid, I dreamed of being able to fly off into the stars to find new and interesting worlds. Though we aren’t really ready for intergalactic travel, this endeavor seems to be our best shot so far at finding extraterrestrial life. NExSS will be using the Kepler spacecraft, a telescope of sorts that was
launched in March 2009. Since its launch, Kepler has discovered more than 1,000 alien worlds, with more than 3,000 other “candidate planets.” That fact alone is enough to blow my mind. In six years, this spacecraft has found up to 4,000 planets orbiting around stars just like our sun. Of course, just because they are planets doesn’t mean they can sustain life. However, if we could find so many planets in such a short time, how many are we missing out on? These are the kinds of questions that interest me, and it seriously hurts to think about how many people are bored with news like this. A man-made device has been launched into space, an area of the universe that was completely out of our
grasp only a few decades ago, and people are bored by it. Will NExSS solve the energy crisis or stop world hunger or end all the wars currently being fought? Probably not, but that’s not its point. NExSS is the epitome of human curiosity. It doesn’t ask questions in order to find answers that can better our situation. No, it asks questions simply because they need to be asked. Where do we come from? Who are we in relation to the universe? Are we alone? These are all questions that have driven the human race for eons. Religions have been formed about these questions, and entire lifestyles revolve around them.
Kevin Jackson is a senior in English.
In an essence, they represent who we are as a species. I have no idea what kind of information NExSS and the Kepler spacecraft will come across. I can’t possibly know if we will ever find a world like ours or if we can ever even dream to find intelligent life outside of our own planet. What I do know is the search for this knowledge is what makes us human. Asking these tough questions and working toward finding the answer is the core of who and what we are. kevsjack@indiana.edu

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Secrecy plus ‘fast track’ doesn’t equal free trade United States Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., wants President Obama to declassify details of an upcoming “free trade agreement,” the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Obama’s response incorporates two mutually exclusive claims: first, that the deal isn’t secret and that Warren’s just tub-thumping to rouse her progressive base; second, that OK, yes, parts of it are secret, but the secrecy is necessary. Setting aside Obama’s poke at her motivations, Warren is right. The TPP is a bad deal. The secrecy surrounding some of its components is there for a reason — most of us won’t like what’s in it. That’s also why Obama is pushing the U.S. Senate to give him “fast track” authority, giving him a straight up-or-down vote as soon as he unveils the treaty instead of having to justify its details and face the possibility of amendment demands. The first and most important thing to understand about the Trans-Pacific Partnership is that, no, it’s not a
“free trade” agreement. Even if we knew none of the details of TPP (we do know some of them), we could reach that conclusion by noticing how lengthy, complex and detailed the negotiations are. Free trade is simple. All it requires is for the involved governments to forswear restrictions on commerce between their nations. Heck, it could even be done unilaterally. The U.S. could simply announce it’s lifting all tariffs, quotas and limits from imports and exports and invite other nations to do likewise. If worry-warts want a poison pill provision for “balance,” that’s easy, too. Just mandate that if any nation imposes restrictions on American goods, the worst of those restrictions will be mirrored for all goods originating in the offending country. TPP isn’t “free” trade. It’s “managed” trade. Its managers are industry lobbyists and their pet politicians. They don’t care a fig for freedom. Their priorities are easy profits and
political advantage. We already know that in at least one sector — so-called “intellectual property” — TPP is the opposite of free trade, or for that matter, freedom of any kind. We know this because whistleblower group Wikileaks procured and released a copy of the treaty’s draft chapter on IP. That chapter would impose the worst parts of America’s draconian Digital Millennium Copyright Act, patent system and other anti-freedom, anti-innovation laws on all parties, globally damaging the ability to copy, to improve, to innovate — and bringing de facto Internet censorship into force — all so Disney can wring a few more bucks out of its 88-year-old mascot mouse and Big Pharma can hold the world’s patients hostage to high drug prices for a little bit longer. TPP is a bad deal for producers and consumers worldwide. Let’s demand REAL free trade instead. Thomas L. Knapp media@thegarrisoncenter.org
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Tips for living with confidence in yourself Fear, insecurity, self-doubt and the like can be the biggest obstacles many of us face in life. In order to overcome that negativity, many people turn to unhealthy behaviors, such as overeating or alcohol abuse. “Compulsive or addictive behavior may temporarily numb that negativity, but it won’t put you on a healthy and wholesome path,” says Darlene Hunter, a renowned speaker and author of “Win-Ability, Navigating through Life’s Challenges with a Winning Attitude,” found at www.darlenehunter. com. “While some people buy very expensive things to feel more confident, there’s an affordable way to yield the same result — positive thinking.” The power of positive thinking has been well publicized. Recently, the Dove beauty experiment in which women wore a “beauty patch” yielded multiple positive behaviors. Positive thinking gained scientific credibility in 1985 when Michael F. Scheier and Charles S. Carver published their seminal study, “Optimism, Coping, and Health: Assessment and Implications of Generalized Outcome Expectancies.” Since then, hundreds
of academic papers have been published in support of positive thinking. “Confidence starts with your attitude; expensive purchases aren’t required,” says Hunter, who maps a path supporting the living-with-confidence lifestyle. • Do what you love doing. What is that thing that you love doing? At the end of the day, would you miss doing it if you could never do it again? You get a great sense of accomplishment and joy when you do what you love doing or, as some say, what you were born to do. It could be baking, cooking, taking care of children, writing, drawing, dancing, anything at all that makes you happy as you travel through your life. • Pursue your passion. Your passion is what you will do even if you do not get paid for it. Following your passion allows you to gain skills in areas that you are already strong in and will push you to become better. You will gain a great sense of accomplishment, satisfaction and joy in doing what you love and doing what you were born to do. Once you discover what you are passionate about, it generally connects with your purpose.
• Be true to yourself. Do not set your career path in a certain direction based on what your friends or family members want for you. If you dream it, you can live it. Do not let fear turn you around. It is also important for you to be honest about your resources, skills and abilities, what you have and what is needed to help you move forward. Do not think you have all of the answers. Be open to suggestions and advice from others who are already doing what you are trying to do. • Stay the course. Be resilient. Never give up. No matter what you might be facing at the current time or the challenges that are ahead of you, as you move forward in your quest to accomplish your goals and dreams, you must stay the course. As you set forth to achieve your goals and your dreams, you cannot be thin-skinned. You must be durable, strong with a determination that you will get to where you want to go. Quitting is not an option, and failure is not a word that you should use when you are seeking to reach your goals and dreams. Darlene Hunter www.darlenehunter.com
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Earth Day on the Floridian River of Grass The Everglades are among the last subtropical wilderness areas in the United States. Their Floridian air is thick with humidity, but a cool breeze is commonly felt from both the fresh and saltwater systems that spread throughout the landscape. Open prairies provide relief from the dangers of the swamp. A mosaic of forest, from pinelands nourished by ancient limestone to tropical hardwoods, coral reef communities and mangroves, supports an incredible array of wildlife. These unique systems are habitat for numerous endemics including aquatic birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians — of which many are endangered or threatened. It’s hard to think of a landscape quite like the fragile Everglades, but it is politics that brought President Obama to such splendor on Earth Day. In the backyard of Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush — both Republican presidential contenders with checkered environmental legacies — Obama talked of climate change effects on the imperiled wetland community. He went on to highlight the 100-year anniversary of the Park Service, coming up in 2016, and a new report that notes National Parks store 14 million tons of carbon each year. Point after point was made for conservation. It’s hard for me to argue with his rhetoric. It’s easy for me to recognize his insincerity.
Obama did not mention his administration’s new push for offshore drilling, limited funding for national parks, the leasing of natural lands to oil and gas companies or the permitting of mountaintop removal coal mines. No commander-in-chief will ever mention their extensive, carbon-burning wars. No executive will talk poorly of the state economic system nor their policies that encourage the growth machine. National monuments are good; I have a fond place in my heart for the national parks, but state archism trends toward violence and the mass consumption of resources. This will not change. We see the failures of state decisions everywhere. From sprawl and drought in the Southwest, industrial disasters in the Midwest, Cancer Alley along our coasts, the destruction of Appalachian mountain ecosystems and so much more. Natural resources are terribly mismanaged. As a result of state decree and the rise of hegemonic corporations, we are in the midst of a sixth great extinction. The age of the Anthropocene is upon us. If we are to be serious about climate, conservation and environmental health, perhaps we should investigate best management practices. Perhaps we should explore our individualist spirit. A radically different social order is necessary if we are to permit a life worth living to our posterity.
Imagine a world without archism, a place where human beings are free to bring their inclined labor to one another in mutual account. Imagine such liberty. Decisions regarding climate, thus how to allocate resources across social and economic systems, should not belong to a few decision makers. Furthermore, the populace should not be held hostage by internal political bickering among Republicans and Democrats in the halls of power. These decisions should be made democratically, in common, where power is equally distributed among all stakeholders. Thanks to the work of famed economist Elinor Ostrom, we know that governance of this type is not only possible but incredibly successful. With such polycentric decisionmaking, human beings are not subject to the wishes of the state but instead to community needs. Here, resources are distributed by need as opposed for the sake of growth. Let’s reclaim the power that is rightly ours and build a society worthy of our future generations. Without collective action, we remain at the mercy of systems of power and domination — wild places, like the River of Grass, are doomed. Without wild lands, we are doomed as well. Grant A. Mincy media@c4ss.org
We all remember the horrors of freshman year. Well, at least I do. It mainly consisted of feeling overwhelmed with course requirements and prerequisites and having to pick a major that would lead to a sensible career path. Looking back, I think part of it had a lot to do with the general university setting. It intimidated me — having to think about how the next four years of my life would be, on the same campus, in similar buildings, finding the intellectual topics I want to commit to for who knows how long. But guess what? Arizona State University has recently announced its plans to offer its freshman year online through the nonprofit website edX. Though I’m all for inclass learning, I think the online format will ease some freshman anxieties and solve problems with large college courses. But before we go into that, there are other benefits to the program, too. It seems to take a more open approach to education. “Leave your GPA, your SATs, your recommendations at home,” said Anant Agarwal, chief executive of edX. “If you have the will to learn, just bring your Internet connection and yourself, and you can get a year of college credit.” If this doesn’t sound appealing, consider the affordability of the program: a year of credit will cost less than $6,000. To qualify, students only need to pay a $45 fee to verify their identity. A tuition of about $200 per credit is charged only after passing a proctored final exam. But some remain skeptical of the online approach. Many argue these massive open online courses are more about advertising brands than offering an education. These skeptics believe the online format fails to deliver the student-professor interaction required in college education. Yet most large freshman lectures already lack

student-professor interaction. I’m willing to bet that everyone in college has had more than one large lecture course in which little student-professor interaction took place. There’s the big lecture room, the professor in the front and the students on their laptops who are aimlessly scrolling through social media accounts or doing who knows what. In those cases, who is to blame? Professors worry about giving meaningless, boring lectures and yapping away about something their students could fall asleep to, while students worry about their limited attention spans and how rude and stupid they are for not finding anything interesting. I think these scenarios make both parties uncomfortable, and people are often dismissive. “My professor sucked,” students complain. “The students don’t care,” professors say with a sigh. But maybe it’s none of that. Maybe it’s the format of the large lecture room with many chairs and the lone professor in the front who is trying to out-voice the divergent chatter from many feet away. In these cases, maybe online education is, in fact, a better approach. It offers a more interactive way of learning where at least students need to be actively on their computers to progress through the course. Though it might not be all that much, it’s at least a little more personal and interactive than the dreaded large lectures three times a week, filled with the occasional snoring and the everso-determined professor, continuing on, pretending not to hear it, pretending not to know. nywu@indiana.edu
MATTERS BY MATTHEW
The myth of dead week What do a six- to eightpage paper, a final project and a weekly reading response have in common? “Dead week,” that’s what. Whenever I talk with people who aren’t college students about “dead week,” their first response is usually something along the lines of, “Oh, I guess you won’t be very busy then? It is dead week, after all.” Typically my first response is to nervously chuckle, then point out the large, gaping flaw in their logic. “Dead week” is a myth for the majority of the IU student population. In order to stop the perpetuation of this falsehood, I will not use the phrase for the rest of my column. This past semester going into my first week before finals, I didn’t have many expectations. Maybe a little less homework, since a bit more free time would be welcome, but not much more than that. That week, I had at least one major project due, as well as a variety of other small assignments. It was around this time I first realized the truth about the week before finals. At the very least it is a misnomer, and at worst, a conspiracy to keep students complacent with a system in which professors don’t seem to be able to schedule projects to be due at any other time of the year. This semester is much worse. The examples I provided in the rhetorical question at the beginning of this column aren’t even the full extent of my schedule for the week. So today, I wish to discuss why this myth still exists, even though for many students this week is more stressful than finals week. The groups of students without major assignments

due this week are a contributing force to the perpetuation of the myth. In all fairness, most of these students recognize their luck: this isn’t their first rodeo, so to speak, just a happy coincidence. No, their contribution lies in forces outside of their control — in their parents, coworkers and others who are outside of IU. Their perception of this week is fueled by the fact that “my son/daughter doesn’t have any work this week, so that must be an accurate representation of the experiences of other students.” These can’t be the only groups to perpetuate the myth, however. All too often, I have heard what might be the most harmful fallacy of all: “Because professors aren’t allowed to assign anything the week before finals, that particular week must be easier, on average, than others during the semester.” The main flaw here is this is essentially untrue; professors can potentially assign anything this week. The trick is they generally don’t, but that doesn’t stop half of them from making the culminating assignments of the class due this week. My caution to you, dear reader, is to stay informed. Know when the assignments in your classes are due and try not to procrastinate too much because they will most likely all be due by noon on the same day. It’s the home stretch, and though it seems like your professors are trying to kill you, you can survive the week before finals. mccinkos@indiana.edu

AN EMMA DILEMMA
Discussing the safety of sex toy use Kinsey Confidential is a service of the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction. For more good sex information, podcasts or to submit a question, visit us online at kinseyconfidential.org. I have already had some sexual experience with partners. And recently I inserted a sex toy into my vagina, and although there was no pain, there was a little blood afterwards. Is this harmful? What should I do? More than half of women and nearly half of men in the United States have used vibrators, and many women and men have used other sex toys, too, such as dildos, butt plugs, anal beads and other sexual enhancement products. It is not uncommon for women to notice small amounts of blood after vaginal penetration, especially if they were not well lubricated during penetration or if they accepted something into the vagina that was fairly large for the vagina. There is nothing necessarily harmful about using sex toys or about other types of vaginal penetration, and there are several steps you can take to make vaginal penetration safer and more pleasurable in the future. These steps can also reduce friction, which can reduce the chances of creating small vaginal tears that can cause vaginal bleeding. In the future, when you try vaginal penetration with a sex toy or perhaps a male partner, you might find it helpful to use water-based
lubricant. This can help to decrease friction. My research team has also found lubricant use to be associated with more pleasurable vaginal sex, anal sex and masturbation — including masturbation with a sex toy. You might also try waiting to use the sex toy until you are feeling aroused. When a woman is feeling aroused, her vagina may expand in size through a process called vaginal tenting. You can learn more about this natural process in the book “Because It Feels Good: A Woman’s Guide to Sexual Pleasure and Satisfaction.” Arousal can also enhance a woman’s natural vaginal lubrication which, again, can help make penetration more comfortable and pleasurable. If you have any questions about your vaginal health or if the bleeding continues or is ever heavy or consistently occurs after penetration, I would encourage you to check in with a healthcare provider. You can learn more about vaginal health in “Read My Lips: A Complete Guide to the Vagina and Vulva” and in “The V Book: A Doctor’s Guide to Complete Vulvovaginal Health.” Debby Herbenick, Ph.D., MPH is an associate professor at IU and a research fellow and sexual health educator at The Kinsey Institute. She’s the author of six books about sex; her newest is “The Coregasm Workout.” Follow Kinsey Confidential on Twitter @ KinseyCon and visit us online at www.KinseyConfidential. org.

Effect of the stained glass windows shows on the inside of the Sagrada Familia.
Visiting the Sagrada Familia church Barcelona is, from what I’ve seen, possibly Spain’s most famous city. There’s the food, the ocean, the culture and the churches. This past weekend, the friend of one of the program’s participants visited, to introduce her to Spain, our group decided to go see the city and get a little bit of warmth. Madrid is in full spring mode, but it can still get pretty cold, so we all agreed it was time to visit one of Spain’s warmer cities. There’s an abundance of things to do in Barcelona, so time had to be carefully planned. Much as it was in Paris, we had to pick and choose which things we could see and those for which
we would have to come back. As I’m quickly learning, at the end of the day, there just isn’t enough time to see a whole city in two days.More reasons to come back. But if you decide to go to the city, please, for the sake of the traveling gods, see the Sagrada Familia. It is a cathedral, a massive, beehive-looking structure in the southern part of the city. When you walk up to it, certain parts look careworn and faded, and certain parts look brand new. That’s because it was started in 1882, according to its website, and is still under construction. It was designed by Antoni Gaudi. His buildings, easily recognizable for their incred-
ible detail, size and creativity, are all throughout Barcelona. The Sagrada Familia is his most impressive, but more so, in my opinion, for what is inside rather than what is out. The walls of the cathedral are lighter and whiter than is typical. Massive stained glass windows line the altar and walls, and the way in which the sunlight hits them floods the 150-foot-tall inside of the church with colored light.

We can construct something as serious as a medieval cathedral, and something as light as the Sagrada Familia. It’s the same task but with two very different outcomes.

Hoosiers’ struggles continue at Evansville IU loses 8-4 in third straight loss despite outhitting Purple Aces By Andrew Vailliencourt availlie@indiana.edu @AndrewVcourt
Horrible. That’s what IU Coach Chris Lemonis called his team’s performance against Evansville on Tuesday night. Despite collecting more hits, IU fell 8-4 at Braun Stadium to the Purple Aces. The Hoosier offense could only scatter their 11 hits, while the Purple Aces took advantage of their eight. “The bad thing is when you get 11 hits you should score more,” Lemonis said. He said IU not getting the run in the first inning has been its Achilles Heel. Evansville scored seven of its runs in the first four innings, capping it off with four runs in the fourth off of IU junior Evan Bell. Bell came in as relief for starter junior Christian Morris. Only two of the four runs off Bell — who only lasted a third of an inning — were earned. Morris pitched three innings and allowed three runs, all earned, on four hits. He also struck out three. His ERA ballooned to 6.53 on the year. “I feel like it’s groundhog day,” Lemonis said. “We continue not to produce offensively and just execute. Today we didn’t pitch well, which is very uncharacteristic for us. You can hit us a little bit, but usually we throw strikes, but we had guys that just would not command the strike zone today.” Lemonis did like what he saw from junior Will Coursen-Carr, who pitched 3.2 innings in relief, allowing one run while striking out six. “He was good, he was really good,” Lemonis said. “Will pitched great.” Senior second baseman Casey Rodrigue carried the offense, going 3-for-5 with a double, an RBI, a run and two steals. Sophomore outfielder Craig Dedelow and senior catcher Brad Hartong also each
EVANSVILLE 8, IU 4 Hits Rodrigue, 3 RBIs Multiple, 1 Losing Pitcher Morris had two hits. IU (23-18, 6-10) made a late run, scoring two in the seventh and one in the eighth, but it was not nearly enough to make up the deficit. Senior Ryan Bilo started for Evansville (23-18). He pitched seven innings and gave three runs, two earned, and struck out two. “He had a lot of armside run, and when you don’t stay on it, it’s pop-up central,” Rodrigue said. “We didn’t stay on it.” Bilo was able to hold IU when it had runners on base. “He pitched well, he threw strikes and pitched under pressure,” Lemonis said. “He got outs when we had guys out there. We never got the big hit.” The top three in the order accounted for seven of the 11 hits. Lemonis hasn’t been able to be very flexible with the bottom half of the order because of the limited results. “Our bench guys haven’t had a lot of production lately,” Lemonis said. “It’s been very limited.” The Hoosiers haven’t been able to get that one big hit in the past couple weeks. It’s been a pattern one run at a time instead of scoring in bunches, something that has been getting to the players. “They’re not going to groove one in there for you, you have to have good focus and look for a good pitch,” Rodrigue said. “We’ve been getting 10-plus hits, and we score two or three runs.” IU has now lost three straight and is back in action today against Indiana State in Bloomington. Freshman Brian Hobbie will get the start. “It’s frustrating, losing is never fun,” Rodrigue said. “We’ll be stuck in a funk and then get some momentum and then can’t capitalize on it. Maybe it’s a lack of focus or something, but it’s frustrating.”

IU fails to take advantage of opportunities, strands baserunners in loss By Michael Hughes michhugh@indiana.edu @MichaelHughes94
From the third base coaching box, Chris Lemonis watched. He watched his team ground into double plays, ending potential scoring chances. He watched potential RBI base hits go just foul. He watched Hoosiers strike out and pop up with runners in scoring position. He watched IU lose 8-4 Tuesday at Evansville, and he watched many IU hitters fail to have quality at-bats. Lemonis has tried to get IU to focus on having quality at-bats, selfless at-bats. “Maybe not as much doubles, or triples or home runs,” IU senior infielder Casey Rodrigue said. “Just trying to grind out and get on base.” Rodrigue was one of the few Hoosiers who did this Tuesday night. He went 3-for-5, with one run scored
and another run driven in. The first of Rodrigue’s hits, a double, led off the game. He then watched the next three IU hitters try and fail to drive him home for the first run of the game. The batter after Rodrigue, sophomore outfielder Craig Dedelow, grounded out to second and moved Rodrigue to third base with less than two outs. A quality at bat. But the next two hitters, seniors Brad Hartong and Scott Donley, each popped out in the infield and Rodrigue was stranded. IU had a chance to score in the first inning and didn’t. Evansville scored in the bottom half of the first and never trailed Tuesday. “We just didn’t get the run in in the first inning,” Lemonis said. “That’s really been our Achilles heel.” Another area in which Rodrigue led IU was on the base paths, where he stole second base twice.
Lemonis has been trying to instill a renewed sense of aggressiveness in his team. This aggressiveness helped IU score its first run. After a two-out single by Rodrigue, Lemonis gave IU’s leading base stealer the sign to steal. He slid in successfully, knocking the ball of the Evansville shortstop Stewart Nelson’s glove in the process. Then, a batter later, sophomore outfielder Craig Dedelow grounded a ball back up the middle. The ball was bobbled by Nelson, allowing Dedelow to reach safely, but then Lemonis made a choice. Rodrigue was running hard from second base as soon as the ball was hit since there were two outs. Lemonis could have made the safe and obvious decision and held Rodrigue at third base. But instead, despite the ball bouncing only a foot or two from Nelson, Lemonis sent Rodrigue
home in an attempt the tie the game. Rodrigue scored, despite the throw to the plate beating him, by sliding around Evansville catcher Billy Lipari. “We were just trying to get something going there,” Lemonis said. Other than that instance in the third inning, IU was unable to do much. Rodrigue was the only Hoosier who attempted a stolen base. Many IU baserunners watched as their teammates failed to drive them home. Individually, these moments aren’t much. But put together, they represented multiple missed chances for IU to score. They represented multiple opportunities for IU to beat Evansville on Tuesday. “Taking the little momentum pieces during the game and keeping ourselves feeling good, and we haven’t been able to do that,” Lemonis said.

IU offense shut down in 6-inning loss to in-state foe Indiana State 9-1 By Michael Hernandez micbhern@indiana.edu @AceOfSpades1213
Indiana State allowed just three hits while recording seven strikeouts as it earned a 9-1 victory against IU in just six innings of play. The Sycamores threatened to take the early lead in the bottom of the first inning, but a failed suicide squeeze play ended the inning. It was the Hoosiers who struck first in the top of the second inning on a lead off home run from junior Kelsey Dotson — her 13th of the year — to give the Hoosiers a 1-0 lead. The home run from Dotson extends her hitting streak to four games. However, Dotson’s homer would be the only run the Hoosiers would be able to push across the board as the Sycamores went on to score nine runs in the next five innings to win the game.
The Sycamores got on the scoreboard in the bottom of the third. An attempted bunt scored a run and almost allowed another run to score with an error from the IU defense, but a great defensive play from the Hoosiers picked off the Sycamore runner at the plate. After the great defensive play, the Hoosiers would be taken off guard again by the next batter, who attempted yet another suicide squeeze. This time she laid it down perfectly as the Sycamores took the lead 2-1. In the fifth inning, the Sycamores would load the bases on three straight singles to begin the frame. A two-run RBI single, another bunt to score a run and a pair of RBI base knocks increased Indiana State’s lead to 7-1, putting the game out of reach. Sophomore Erin Lehman got things started in the sixth inning for the Hoosiers with a double to center, thus extending her hitting streak to six games. IU then got three
consecutive outs, leaving Lehman stranded at second. This left the score 7-1 as the Sycamores had the chance to end the game in their sixth inning at-bats. A single and another defensive throwing error put an Indiana State runner on second, who was later plated on a single that deflected off of senior Lora Olson’s glove. The Sycamores took the 8-1 lead, one run away from ending the game on the run rule. Olson tossed 5.2 innings, giving up nine runs — seven earned — on 15 hits with two strikeouts. Sycamore pitcher junior Taylor Lockwood tossed a complete game, giving up just one run with seven strikeouts and limiting the Hoosiers to just three hits the entire game. Looking forward to the Big Ten Tournament, the Hoosiers failed to move up any spots. They will have one last chance as they travel to Columbus, Ohio, for the last regular season series of the year against the Ohio State Buckeyes.

percent of local jail inmates have a mental disorder, a higher rate than both state and federal prisons. Weller puts the current estimate for Monroe County between 35 and 40 percent, though he said the guess might be low. Inmates sometimes struggle to get the prescriptions they need or think they need. Many are overcoming substance abuse. Far too often, they are not fully aware Weller can help. “Unfortunately,” Weller said, “jails are becoming the new mental health hospitals.”
prescription. Substance abuse in county jails is estimated to be as high as 90 percent. Because of this, Caldwell said care providers are encouraged to be conservative when prescribing medications for mental and emotional disorders, which are addictive in nature. People booked into jails might appear to be battling mental illness, while in reality they could be recovering from drug or alcohol abuse. Mental illness and substance abuse often intermix. For many, the jail serves as a stable place to detoxify and rehabilitate. Weller knows the administration is concerned that if prescriptions are handed out, everyone will want medications they don’t have prescriptions for. He also knows the inmates with the most profound mental health problems are usually not the ones asking for medications. If someone remembers being uncomfortable in jail, there is a better chance they won’t re-offend. But as the inmates’ counselor, Weller wonders whether offering some medication might take the edge off the frustration, sadness or anxiety someone might feel in the jail. He did not agree with the decision to deny a prescription to a 32-year-old man who he suspects has had depression all his life. Stereotypes of medical staffs in jails might suggest they are uncaring and reluctant to prescribe medications. But Caldwell feels most medical staffs in jails are cautious with prescriptions because most medications, even painkillers like Advil, come with serious side effects. “We are very conscientious prescribers,” Caldwell said. Jails can serve as places to keep people safe and help them recover from their maladies, and Weller understands
lestation, for example, can be a struggle. Weller sees the man once a week. He said he likes the man, but he knows he’s done some awful things. Still, everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, Weller said, and part of his job in the jail is to advocate for people who cannot advocate for themselves. Not every person with a mental illness in the jail is going to get Weller’s help. Sometimes they don’t know he’s available. More often though, people with mental illness don’t seek out help

The team decided to focus its attention on the competition in Philadelphia, which will include 20 teams. The tournament will have a higher level of competition, Campbell said. After finals and graduation, the team will have two practices per day to prepare for the tournament, which is May 30-31. “We hope we’ll compete

Along with its regular Big Ten competition, the team is scheduling matches with varsity teams from across the country. Those teams recruit players from around the world and can provide more competition, Campbell said. The team is trying to beat the best competition in the country. Enari said he expects the team to compete well again next season. “Success generates success,” Enari said. “If they put in the work, they can do it. Their hard work has given them the confidence to win.”

BFC members approved the amendment. Leslie Rutkowski, assistant professor in the School of Education, introduced a motion to vote by paper ballot rather than by hand vote. “As a junior faculty, I felt a lot of pressure given the controversial nature of this proposal, and it would give me security to vote my conscience on the vote,” she said. Members approved the motion, and the policy passed 30 to 18 with two abstentions. Members also approved proposed policies regarding the role of shared governance at IU-Bloomington. Sugimoto and BFC President Emeritus Herb Terry proposed the policy. Proposals include
creating a BFC compensation committee to provide stipends for BFC officers, including the president, president emeritus, president-elect, secretary and parliamentarian, BFC standing committee chairs and the BFC executive committee. The policy also recommends adding a policy officer to assist with drafting new polices, tracking existing policies and articulating new policies with existing ones and adding a communications officer to assist with disseminating BFC information. Proposals also include encouraging the BFC executive committee or the BFC long-range planning committee to create a strategic plan or a legislative agenda for the next academic year. Many of the proposals require BFC approval. “As the incoming president, I appreciate a charge, and that’s what this is,” Sugimoto said. “This is a charge to the BFC for next year, and I think that’s exciting.”
