Students carry signs and march on campus during the Reinvest IU-organized march from the Sample Gates to Showalter Fountain in support of the environmental movement Wednesday.

Chief Michael Vargas of Sacred Nations Cultural Center squinted into the sun before a crowd of signholding students, faculty and community members. Showalter Fountain flowed in the background, filling the pauses in his speech.

“You are the caretakers of the earth,” he said.

Vargas said we, as human beings, are the keepers, the custodians, the defenders of earth.

“Those in power’s time on this planet is less than yours,” he said, specifically addressing the students. “What are they doing with

their time?”

He said people in power are complacent, exploiting fossil fuels for monetary gain.

“Speak out,” he said. “Be responsible. Make some noise.”

Reinvest IU led the Hoosiers’ Climate March from the Sample Gates to the fountain Wednesday. The group’s goal is to persuade the IU Foundation to divest from fossil fuels and reinvest in clean alternative energy.

At the ending rally of the march, Vargas was not the only person advocating to stand up to those in power.

IU wins Big Ten opener against Northwestern 3-1

By Spencer Davis spjdavis@indiana.edu | @spencer_davis16

Hoosier volleyball displayed remarkable consistency once again Wednesday night as it faced its first Big Ten opponent of the season in Northwestern.

To compound a recurring issue, the Hoosiers dug themselves into an early hole in the majority of the sets tonight, yet they still came out with a four-set victory over the

Wildcats.

IU (12-2, 1-0) was able to gain separation toward the end of the first two sets, winning by scores of 25-16 and 25-19, respectively.

“It’s a bummer because we talked about jumping on them right at the beginning, and we didn’t do that,” IU Coach Sherry DunbarKruzan said. “We talked about imposing our speed and our aggressiveness, and we were imposed upon. It’s something we need to work on.”

Freshman Kendall Beerman touched the court during set two for the first time in two matches

and quickly made her presence felt.

The outside hitter recorded back-to-back kills upon entering and played well enough to earn the start in the third set. She finished with eight kills and two digs.

“The match was a must-win for confidence because we know what is ahead of us,” Dunbar-Kruzan said. “Northwestern got a lot better as the match went along, but we needed to find a way to end it and we did, so I’m proud of them.”

In unlikely fashion, senior setter Megan Tallman led the Hoosiers in kills with seven heading into the third set. The co-captain contribut-

ed on a multitude of fronts tonight and finished with 46 assists, a .467 hitting percentage, eight kills, eight digs and three service aces.

Tallman’s fellow co-captain, senior libero Taylor Lebo, led both teams with 17 digs. Northwestern’s leader in the category, senior outside hitter Rafae Strobos, notched just six digs.

However, freshman Hayden Huybers shined brighter than the rest in her Big Ten debut. The middle blocker tallied 10 kills and a flawless 1.000 hitting percentage SEE VOLLEYBALL, PAGE 6

Bluegrass festival brings international acts, audience

By Austin Faulds afaulds@indiana.edu | @a_faulds9615

Music fans from across the world gathered Thursday in Bean Blossom, Indiana, to celebrate bluegrass culture in a town many refer to as the “Mecca of bluegrass.”

For the 42nd year in a row, Bean Blossom put on the famous four-day Bill Monroe Hall of Fame and Uncle Pen Days festival at the Bill Monroe Music Park and Campground. The festival will continue through Sunday.

The bluegrass festival is the longest-running in the world, park and campground owner Dwight Dillman said.

Dillman said between 15,000

and 20,000 people come together to attend the festival on average. That’s about half as many as the summer Bean Blossom Bluegrass Festival in June, which reached its 50th anniversary this year.

While the majority of the audience was elderly, a younger demographic was represented in the audience as well. Dillman said the Hall of Fame and Uncle Pen Days festival is the type of event all people should attend at some point in their lives, regardless of their interest in bluegrass music.

In an effort to keep Indiana’s 9th congressional district in the hands of a Hoosier, Shelli Yoder is running for Congress again.

Yoder, the Democratic candidate, first ran for the position in 2012, but lost to Rep. Todd Young, R-Bloomington. However, Young is running for the senate this year, which left his 9th district seat open and Yoder with the chance to run again.

Yoder, who was born in Shipshewana, Indiana, and crowned Miss Indiana in 1992, has lived in the state most of her life. Her opponent, Trey Hollingsworth, is a multimillionaire businessman from Tennessee who moved to Indiana last year.

“It’s outrageous,” Yoder said of Hollingsworth running.

Hollingsworth should not brag about coming into a state he moved to last year and claiming he knows how to represent it, said Mark Fraley, chair of the Democratic Party of Monroe County.

However, William Ellis, chairman of the Monroe County Republican Party, said he does not feel this information is relevant.

Hollingsworth has created jobs in Indiana, and that’s what is important, he said.

Yoder currently teaches at the Kelley School of Business and serves on the Monroe County Council, and she said she hopes to continue her work and be an advocate for Indiana in Washington, D.C. “We can’t leave the 9th district behind,” Yoder said.

Rural counties that make up Indiana’s 9th District are the backbone of America and the economy, which is why the government needs to do everything in its power to support them, Yoder said.

Creating infrastructure, investing in education and creating an environment where small businesses can grow are key, she said, especially developing broadband internet across the more rural parts of the district.

The Cooks started their family business, Cook Medical, out of their garage, Yoder said. Access to broadband internet across the state will allow other Hoosiers to start their own small businesses like this more easily.

Support of Donald Trump illustrates the feeling many rural Indiana residents have that they have been left behind by their government, Yoder said.

The access to jobs has not been keeping up with the demand, she said. As an educator, Yoder said she emphasizes to her students what skills they need to possess and how they can best market themselves. The Indiana school systems need to do the same with all kinds of jobs, particularly trade.

Above all, Yoder said her intentions are clear, while her opponent Hollingsworth’s are not.

In the spirit of transparency, she has released her tax returns from the last five years, however, SEE YODER, PAGE 6

NMBCC throws house party

By Sarah Verschoor sverscho@iu.edu | @SarahVerschoor

A long line of students stood waiting in line for for food and chatting at the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center on Wednesday at the Mid-Day House party.

The monthly event takes place all around the second floor of the NMBCC. Students line up for the food buffet and sit with friends and other people at the event.

The event is also an opportunity to talk to staff from the center.

This was the first MidDay House party of the year.

NMBCC Director Monica Johnson said this is the purpose behind the event.

“We just want students to come, get some food and be yourself,” Johnson said.

The food is a drawing factor for students at the event.

Junior Keira Bible said she came for the free food, among other reasons.

“It is very convenient,” Bible said. “I was on campus and already here.”

Junior Sydney Smith, who has come to this event in previous years, also said she was interested in the food but came for the atmosphere at the NMBCC. “I’m definitely here for the free food, but Neal-Mar-

shall is a cool place to hang out,” Smith said. “It is definitely chill and laid back.”

Smith said being at the Neal-Marshall Center is like being at a home on campus.

At these events, Smith she often comes with friends but also gets to meet new people.

“The freshmen are the new faces,” Smith said. “But it is comfortable because you know everybody.”

Bible said she feels similarly about the event.

She said Mid-Day House parties have a very welcome, open and family-like

environment.

Johnson said that the Mid-Day House Party is a great way to see a lot of students and develop a community.

“People get to connect with other folks that are not in their schools,” Johnson said.

Smith said too that the event is important because it is a good way to de-stress during a busy time of the school year.

“If you have exams, you can come wind down for a bit,” Smith said.

Associate Research Scientist Elizabeth Watts Malouchos discusses Mississippian culture and archeological findings in southwestern Indiana on Wednesday at the First Nations Educational and Cultural Center as a part of the lunchtime speaker series.

Native archaeological sites discussed

By Bailey Cline baicline@indiana.edu | @JustKeepWritin

Though there is not a large population of Native Americans in Indiana today, information is still being discovered from Native archaeological sites such as Angel Mounds in Evansville, Indiana.

Associate research scientist Elizabeth Watts Malouchos, a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Anthropology, spoke on the topic of Native American architecture Wednesday afternoon as a part of the First Nations Educational and Cultural Center lunchtime speaker series.

The Mississippian period

preceded colonization in North America. Malouchos focuses on architecture and archaeological artifacts in Indiana and is researching possible connections between several different excavating sites in southwestern Indiana.

“We’re still trying to tease apart the connections in southwestern Indiana, the connections between these different cultures we’re trying to identify,” Malouchos said.

Typical characteristics of Mississippian culture included earthen mound structures, wall trench architecture, ceremonialism, maize agriculture and shell tempered ceramics.

Earthen mounds are piles of soil raised above the ground on which significant members of Native American communities would live. Wall trench architecture supported the structures the people built.

Ceremonies were performed by the Native Americans to honor their culture and traditions, and corn comprised a large portion of people’s diets. At Angel Mounds in particular, red pieces of pottery with designs were found.

Three main excavations sites in the past have led to huge discoveries, such as the pottery and architectural designs in the Mississippian

The IU Student Association Diversity and Inclusion Department is creating a student committee made up of representatives from various cultural and religious centers and student organizations to influence policy and make sure all students have a voice in student government.

Eric Gu and Ryan Arick, the heads of the Diversity and Inclusion Department, sought to include all types of students and make policy a more collaborative effort.

Gu and Arick reached out to centers like the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center and GLBT Student Support Services, among others, to send representatives to the committee.

They also approached religious student organizations to ensure that everyone’s interests were properly represented. The committee will meet regularly to discuss how to integrate cultural interests into student government.

“We want to reach out the students with disabilities office and the veteran students office,” Arick said.

“They’re kind of overlooked sometimes, and that’s really unfortunate.”

In the past, the Diversity and Inclusion Department worked with cultural centers to bring in speakers.

One of the department’s largest goals this year is to have a town hall where all cultural centers can address the administration at once.

“We feel like town halls are sometimes sort of reac-

tionary and only happen after something big happens,” Arick said. “So we want to be proactive and hear all the student voices on campus.”

By having a town hall, cultural centers could bounce ideas for what they need off each other and the administration.

“Each cultural center has their own discussion talks, and it would be better if we put everything together so administration would know what everyone needs rather than specific groups,” Gu said.

They also want to offer a social justice event during New Student Orientation in order to broaden the cultural horizons of students who may not have previously interacted with minorities or students very different from them.

Arick said that having a social justice or diversity aspect of orientation is a good way to reach the whole student body at once.

Arick and Gu stressed that the committee did not have a fixed number of members and that anyone who wanted to have their voice heard within student government and bring new suggestions to the table was welcome.

Gu said he hopes that creating a space where all students feel welcome and represented will be beneficial to students who may have trouble assimilating to IU’s culture, especially international students.

“There’s so many problems that they’re facing but we didn’t know about, and I really want to fill that gap for them,” he said.

culture.

“Most of what we know about the Mississippian occupation comes from the large-scale excavations at Angel, the large-scale excavations at Southwind and these small excavations at Ellerbusch,” Malouchos said.

Malouchos said she has been fortunate in her own excavations. The owners of the land she has searched have been open, even offering for her to look at items they have found.

“I have some fantastic land owners, and I personally have only had very wonderful reactions,” Malouchos said.

“That’s not the case all the time.”

Union Board offers variety of free films to students weekly

By Christina Winfrey cawinfre@iu.edu | @WinaTinfrey

The Indiana Memorial Union is typically home to a variety of club and organization meetings, studying students and those looking for a quick bite to eat. But on the weekends, it’s transformed into a cinema.

Each week, the Union Board presents a new movie in the Whittenberger Auditorium. At 8 p.m. or 11 p.m. on Thursday, Friday or Saturday, students can gain free admission to the movie with their student ID. “Movies are expensive, and it’s nice to just go out for a movie with your student ID and not have to pay anything,” junior Jessica Fogarty said.

Fogarty has seen multiple films at the Union and said “Now You See Me 2” was her favorite.

Yasmine Raouf, Union Board director of films, said the committee decides which movies to play. The usual choices are blockbusters from the past three to four months because recent movies tend to be the biggest hit with students.

“It’s also about making sure we don’t show too many animated films together or too many action films,” Raouf said. “It’s about doing a good, even spread so people will

want to come out.”

Raouf and the committee use sites that work with college students across the nation to allow to buy movie rights for a precise number of showings, she said.

The money to purchase movie rights comes from Union Board’s budget, which is comprised of funds from the Student Activity Fee. Profits from concessions sold at the movie, as well as the $2 entrance fee without a student ID, go back toward future films or other Union Board events.

For most new releases, the weekend screenings cost $1,000 to $1,200, she said.

When Fogarty attends a movie, she said she enjoys that the films are typically those newly released on DVD. She likes to go watch the movies on Thursdays or Fridays after her classes.

“It’s a good way to go hang out with friends, relax and have something to do on campus,” Fogarty said.

Raouf said the Union Board strives to provide activities like this to students.

Without a large cinema presence in Bloomington, she said she believes having films at the Union is a great resource.

“It’s a way for you to become a part of the community and get to know people,” Raouf said.

[CASS]TING THE VOTE

Sharing the lasting effects of politics Cassie Heeke is a senior in journalism.

Sometimes I’m amazed at how little my peers know about current events and political issues.

It’s not a judgmental, ‘how-do-you-not-knowthis, what-are-you-doing-with-your-life’ sort of amazed, because part of me understands. It’s a lot easier to float through life focusing only on your own spheres of school, friends and family and ignoring the things that don’t seem to have any immediate effect on you.

It’s easy to choose entertainment over news, to keep the bigger issues out of your mental newsfeed.

It’s easy, but it’s also — I would argue — wrong.

Hi, I’m Cassie. I’m a double major in journalism and political science with a minor in sociology, and I think the issues are important. I think it’s imperative that we 20-somethings start paying attention to who governs us and how they govern us, and we need to do it now.

That’s why I’m writing this column. I want to use my knowledge in the spheres of politics and journalism to help people understand how what happens in Washington, D.C., can have lasting effects on their lives.

I want people to realize that the suits on Capitol Hill aren’t spending their days figuring out how to govern themselves — they’re figuring out how to govern us.

By electing them, we’ve not only given them a title, but power over our lives.

Our democracy wasn’t given to us freely. It was fought for and decided on and honed for decades to make it work the way we wanted it to. It’s a government run by representatives of the people, and it only works if the people vote.

But it’s also my belief that voting is a privilege and should be carried out by people who have done their research and know the plans each candidate has for running the county, state or country.

So what I’m saying is this: get informed and go vote. But if November comes around and you have yet to figure out what’s what, stay home and give up your right to voice an opinion for the next two to four years.

I’m going to urge you again, though: If we don’t pay attention to what those 436 people are doing, they’re going to notice.

If we start caring only about how they’re perceived in whatever news channel we tune in to or their familial scandals, you better believe they’re going to play to that.

They’ll divert your eyes from the substance of their campaigns and speak only about superficial issues that don’t have anything to do with legislation.

The first 2016 presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump is Monday, and I’m predicting both will shy away from substance. They won’t want to talk about their policy plans — Clinton because she’s divisive, and Trump because he hasn’t got much in way of logistics.

Both candidates will boast their past accomplishments and assert the past failures of the other. Clinton will highlight Trump’s failed business endeavors, while Trump will attack Clinton for her email scandals.

We’ll turn off the debate and feel either angry or confused, but not hopeful, because they’d have to discuss what they plan to realistically accomplish as president to give us hope.

Please, pay attention.

Don’t stop caring. Because our democracy will fail to help us if we fail to recognize it. cnheeke@indiana.edu

Donald Gentry, 66, was found dead Sept. 12th in his home by his girlfriend. He lived at 4537 S. Walnut St. in a rental trailer.

Man murdered was trying to improve self

By Dominick Jean drjean@indiana.edu | @Domino_Jean

Donald Gentry tried to turn his life around before he was murdered.

Before his death on Sept.

12, Gentry, 66, seemed to have changed since his time in prison for charges of dealing methamphetamines in August 2009. During that investigation, police found $11,000 in cash, drug paraphernalia and a loaded pistol in his home in Martinsville. He was then convicted on charges of dealing meth and sentenced to 10 years in prison.

After serving only three years and eight months of a 10-year sentence, Gentry petitioned Judge Teresa Harper to reduce his sentence. “In those three years and eight months I’ve served, I’ve had no write ups or conduct reports,� Gentry said.

During his sentence, Gentry went through — and passed — an eight-month substance abuse program, and court records show that Gentry had maintained his sobriety for at least three years after his 2012 release from prison.

Gentry wrote several letters to Judge Harper asking for early release based on good behavior so he could return to his family and be accepted into the Community Transition Program. “I was hoping to be at home for Christmas this year,� Gentry wrote on Dec. 16, 2011.

CTP provides assistance to criminals who are returning to society as they try to adjust and reacquaint themselves with life outside of prison.

Upon his release in 2012, Gentry was under supervised probation for 10 years, but he only had to serve three years of that proba-

tion, since there were no reports of misconduct. Gentry seemed to have turned his life around like he said he would when he wrote to Judge Harper in 2011. “I’ll do my best to not let you down in your decision for helping me,� Gentry said.

Before his imprisonment for dealing meth in 2009, he had numerous other prior charges, including possession of marijuana and methamphetamines in 1996 and possession of marijuana in 2004.

Gentry pleaded guilty both times.

However, after his latest release in 2012, Gentry seemed to have changed.

Judge Harper released him from supervised probation after only three years because Gentry had, according to court documents, “multiple health issues to be managed.�

Gentry suffered from diabetes, which made it difficult and even painful for him to walk, former neighbor Angela Walker said.

At the time of his death, Gentry was living alone in a mobile home at S. State Road 37. His neighbor at the time of his death, Kathy Mobley, said Gentry was a kind man and he would do anything for anybody.

He often allowed Mobley to borrow pots and pans as well as use his lawn mower to keep their yard clean-cut.

The only witness to the murder was his dog, a pug named Starbell, who was run over by a Duke Energy truck on Friday.

Gentry was killed Monday, Sept. 12. He suffered from multiple beatings to the head. Monroe County Coroner Nicole Meyer said there was no way to determine which blow was fatal.

The Monroe County Sheriff ’s Office is still investigating Gentry’s murder.

The Monroe County Community School Corporation not only provides English learning education for students within their district, but for the adults in the community as well.

The English Language Learning office serves as the information center for students and their families’ questions and concerns regarding school life in the community.

The information includes enrollment, English language instruction, relations with peers and staff, financial issues and counseling for newcomers during their time in the school system.

The ELL Office also organizes resources on issues of diversity, providing information to MCCSC staff on a respectful learning environment, and promoting cultural sensitivity in the education community, according to the MCCSC website.

Choonhyun Jean, ESL coordinator for MCCSC, coordinates programs for students from elementary to high school age.

Andrew Clampitt, MCCSC public relations and information officer, said the district wants to support students. “We have a vast array of resources for students where English is a second language to them.�

Clampitt said.

Not only do students within the district have the resources available to learn English as their second language, the Broad-

view Learning Center offers classes for adults within the community as well.

Directly associated with MCCSC, the learning center focuses on teaching those students and community members who want to learn English as a second language.

Prospective students are initially given a test and an interview.

Then they are evaluated and placed in a class that best suits their English proficiency level. All classes are free.

Diana Hoffman, one of the three staff members running the learning center, said there is new registration every week that school is in session.

The classes range from English as a Second Language Beginning, ESL Intermediate, ESL Advanced and even an English to Go class for people who cannot attend class regularly.

She said this class meets for 12 hours and from there work off-site.

They can come in once a week for private conversation.

The new class has five students enrolled this semester.

But the entire ESL program had 502 students last year, and Hoffman said the office is hoping to bring this number up to 600 this next semester.

She said the learning center is also trying to get more involved in outside things in regards to immigrants and refugees in the community. “There’s been several meetings to help Syrian refugees come to Blooming-

“We have a vast array of resources for students where English is a second language to them.�

ton,� Hoffman said. “We’re working on that, maybe help those people come to class here and learn.�

Hoffman said the educators and volunteers working with these adults learning English not only teach English classes but also take the students on field trips around the community.

These include going down the B-Line Trail, Monroe County Public Library, and generally showing them around the community. “We have a big Thanksgiving celebration here and international students bring food from their countries and share it,� Hoffman said. “They’re not only learning about the United States, but the countries their fellow students are from.�

She said recently one of the ESL students got an award with her English speaking certificate to get her hair done, but was too nervous to go alone so one of their aides volunteered to go with her. “I think that when people first come here everything is foreign to them, of course, there’s a lot to adjust to,� Hoffman said. “They have to adjust to not only our language, our culture, it’s a big change.�

THE COFFEE CHRONICLES

The death of a giant

ILLUSTRATION BY MERCER T. SUPPIGER | IDS

The case against Italy’s National Fertility Day To combat tanking birth rates, Italy turns to intrusive advertising A few years ago, a Danish travel agency started a campaign to encourage people to have children.

Dubbed “Do it for mom, do it for Denmark,” it encouraged young couples to have children, using funny ads offering discounts on vacations and baby supplies.

Over the past decades, Denmark’s birth rate has been dropping, and for a country, that means no next generation to keep things going. But this isn’t a problem only plaguing Denmark. All of Europe has been suffering from low birth rates.

Italy is no exception to this trend. In fact, today is a special day for Italian child bearers.

Last month, the Italian Minister of Health announced Sept. 22 as National Fertility Day and started an ad campaign to encourage women to bear children. But unlike the Danish campaign, this one wasn’t in such good humor.

Some ads featured the

phrase “Don’t let your sperm go up in smoke” in Italian beneath a picture of a smoldering cigarette, while others showed a woman holding an hourglass with the slogan “Beauty has no age limit.

Fertility does.”

Though this campaign had good intentions, these ads don’t come across very well, and many people were quick to denounce them on multiple fronts.

Firstly, some people look to this campaign and find it offensive to those unable to have children. After all, for someone who’s bothered by the fact that they can’t have kids, seeing these sort of ads could be just another reminder of that heartbreak.

But, while that is tragic, the government’s concern is valid. A country needs children to function, and in this case, concern over the future generation outweighs a bit of emotional distress. But, more valid concerns are the way Italy lacks adequate support for families with children and

how its economy isn’t particularly robust.

The Editorial Board interviewed Sara Dallavalle, a grad student here at IU who’s lived much of her life in Italy and has connections to people living there.

“The main issue here is that our generation does not have a lot of job opportunities,” Dallavalle said. “Many young people go to university to spend some time before looking for jobs, but eventually they end up being unemployed.”

She described it as a “vicious cycle — no jobs, no opportunity to buy or rent a house, no money to take care of children,” and the result is that “young people fear not to have enough to sustain a family.”

Many of her female friends on Facebook were furious: “Every girl felt outraged by such a stereotypical campaign.” They particularly resented the “ticking clock symbolizing the expiration date of your reproduction potential.”

“It’s not a question of laziness, or people in their late 20s wanted to be Peter Pan forever. It’s that money is not enough,” Dalavalle said.

This seems to strike the heart of the issue.

Italy doesn’t offer much in terms of child care, and many young people lack the financial stability required to start a family. If they really wanted to encourage people to have children, the Italian government would need to provide support for these families, not just a sense of urgency.

So while we liked the Danish campaign for keeping a humorous tone on a legitimate issue, this Italian Fertility Day oversteps its bounds and goes from being encouraging to intrusive.

Dallavalle put it best when she said, “Overall, I consider this a very poor attempt of raising awareness, an attempt that tried to use young people’s language, but failed to realize the source of young people’s concerns about the future.”

MULLING IT OVER WITH MERM

Don’t shy away from donating your plasma I stepped out of my comfort zone this week. A friend of mine told my roommate and me about how she donated plasma the previous week and how simple the whole process was.

I’ve never been a big fan of needles, but I also have never been terribly afraid.

The idea of something going back into my body, though ... that was what wigged me out the most. I couldn’t even think about having blood sent into my arm through a tube without shuddering.

Watching people give blood at blood drives, or even watching someone receive a shot, could make me cringe, as if a tarantula had just crawled past my toes.

When compared to the benefits of donating plasma, though, I became less squeamish and more interested.

I discovered that America is the leading country in plasma supply. This is because incentives come with donation in many places.

Locations that offer donations typically offer money

reward for the time it takes to donate, as well as for the plasma itself. I figured the reward would be about ten or fifteen dollars, but most places go for fifty dollars a donation — or at least around that range.

Fifty dollars just to sit and watch blood leave your body then get it back? I could get past my fears for that.

It’s very important to for medical officials to have plasma because it holds infection-fighting cells and helps rebuild an immune system.

People who have suffered blood loss trauma greatly need plasma donation as well as blood donation.

Donating helps your health as well as other people’s health. When you donate plasma, you are removing the white blood cells from your blood stream. This causes your body to produce more white blood cells, thus recycling and renewing your circulatory system every time you donate.

On top of which, the process to determine if you can donate requires testing for

specific diseases that can be transferred through blood.

If you were unaware of having such a disease, you would learn at the screening.

Also, if you become a regular donor, the screenings are basically regular checkups on your circulatory system.

Of course, there is always a negative side to something good.

After donation, you will feel fatigued or dehydrated and even sick. You have just removed and replaced a pretty large amount of blood.

I donated 690 milliliters when I went this week. It may not sound like a lot, but if you sit and watch it leave like I did, it changes your mind about how much you are donating.

If you decide to become a donor, you have to donate at least twice in order for your plasma to be usable. A good chunk of your first donation goes to testing and sampling to determine if it is safe to use.

Before I could donate, I had to answer several questions. Some of them are mun-

dane, but others are more serious and more intrusive.

Just like with donating blood, if you are a homosexual male, you cannot donate plasma.

It’s sad to think about not being able to help others just because of your lifestyle or sexual preferences, but in the past, many gay men did not know they carried HIV/AIDS and ended up spreading it.

Overall, I had a pretty great experience with donating. I felt good afterwards, too. Not only was I helping other people, but I had found a quick way to make some extra cash each month.

I highly recommend donating if you are able to. It helps so many people as well as yourself.

Also, then you can tell your parents you sold (parts of) your body in college. mmgarbac@indiana.edu

I want to assert that I don’t support the coal industry. I think the usage of coal has contributed to climate change, as coal-fired power plants were the main source of CO2 emissions in the United States in 2007.

I support renewable energy and subsidies for wind, solar and nuclear energy. However, coal miners have been hurt by members of both political parties and are evidence of the dangerous trend of making political promises that can’t be kept.

The National Mining Association reported in 2014 that 74,931 people worked as coal miners. The majority were in the Appalachian region, specifically West Virginia and Kentucky. This number has drastically decreased from previous years and is at its lowest point in 35 years, with major coal companies like Arch Coal declaring bankruptcy and 191,000 layoffs in the last two years.

The coal industry is slowly dying. This is due to various reasons, including higher regulation standard imposed by the Clean Power Plan; a shift to natural gas; and the price of the products and competition, both local and domestic. This decline means that more coal miners are losing their jobs and likely means that this trend will continue in the future.

The future for coal miners is bleak. Unless you ask Trump, that is.

Trump said he was “the last shot for the miners.” His plan is to remove regulations on coal.

However, this doesn’t address the fact that other energy sources have become cheaper and it would need subsidies in order to become competitive.

Hillary Clinton’s plan is to retrain workers and offer better education, disregard-

ing the fact that the average age for a miner is 55 and that job retraining’s success is iffy at best.

The coal industry is in trouble, as are its workers.

For years, coal has brought well-paying jobs to primarily rural areas, but it’s not a sustainable option anymore.

It’s right to acknowledge that and recommend that people go into different fields. However, it’s the political manipulation of miners that is cruelest.

The industry will continue to lay off workers because it is not as profitable as it was before. There will be fewer miners in the future as new sources of energy arise, and it will likely not be as profitable job in the future.

It’s ok to tell people that. Instead of promising jobs that Trump cannot bring back or retraining that will likely not work, politicians should acknowledge this to their constituents. Even more, promising good things to come is both cruel and manipulative.

Because it’s an election year, everything is a political move. With that being said, I think targeting a vulnerable group like miners is cruel.

Politics should be about what we can do better for the next generation. The next generation is going to have fight the effects of climate change as well as deal with being able ta afford to power the rest of the country.

Coal does not appear to be a viable option anymore, and I think that coal miners can acknowledge that fact as well. Let’s not treat them as though they are children and give them false hope. npatwari@indiana.edu

GETTING IN THE GROOVE

The original sugar daddies A 50-year-old study recently rediscovered by researchers at the University of San Francisco gives an entirely new meaning to the phrase “sugar daddy.”

Back in the 1960s, the sugar lobby — specifically, a group called the Sugar Research Foundation — paid off three Harvard professors in the equivalent of $50,000 in today’s money to publish falsified research that would reject the notion that high amounts of sugar consumption lead to heart disease and other health issues.

According to the authors of the 1967 study, sugar was by no means the health culprit. Instead, they claimed that “the only dietary intervention required to prevent coronary heart disease was to reduce dietary cholesterol and substitute polyunsaturated fat for saturated fat in the American diet.”

As modern research has shown us, this is not necessarily the case.

Today, scientists acknowledge that some fats can actually be good for you.

In fact, healthy amounts of unsaturated fat — like the kinds found in fatty fish and walnuts — can actually decrease your risk of heart disease.

We now know that there’s a fairly certain link between sugar consumption and obesity, heart disease and other health problems. Our society is becoming more and more cognizant of that fact, but sugar still finds its way into almost every processed food out there.

While the 1967 study may seem irrelevant today, it really is important. That study helped shape the perception millions of people had — and continue to have — about what constitutes a healthy diet.

I think the takeaway from these revelations, though, is that we must always face the information we encounter with a healthy amount of skepticism.

It’s fairly easy to be

Anna Groover is a freshman in English and political science.

suspicious about a claim that a politician makes, because we know that politicians by their very nature have an agenda. They have a list of policies and initiatives they want to implement, and one reason for that is the outside interests influencing them with money.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve always regarded science — and, by extension, research — with a kind of reverence.

Science, ideally, is governed entirely by fact, logic and data, and there’s beauty in that. A sanctity, even.

You might even say that the word “science” holds connotations of truth and credibility. We can find comfort in aligning with a belief that has scientific support.

Like, for example, the notion that, yes, a large Coke, a steak with a generous helping of barbecue sauce and a big slice of chocolate cake sounds like a nutritionally sound meal.

As it turns out, maybe we can find ignorance and complacency in said belief, too.

Again, the impact of the sugar lobby on health research isn’t just a thing of the past. It’s a thing of the present, too. In 2015, the New York Times published an article showing that Coca-Cola funneled millions of dollars into funding “research” to “prove” that obesity is a result of a lack of exercise and diet has little to do with it.

The upshot is this: we need to continually question, challenge and test our most deeply held beliefs and ideas — even the ones to which we’ve strongly adhered for generations. We might just discover that they’ve been sugar-coated all along. acgroove@indiana.edu

FOOTBALL

IU looking for better finish on its defense

By Taylor Lehman trlehman@indiana.edu @TaylorRLehman

IU Coach Kevin Wilson said he felt no threat from Ball State in the Hoosiers’ 30-20 victory.

He had heard others comparing the game to 2015’s meltdown against Rutgers on Homecoming Weekend, when IU surrendered 22 fourth-quarter points and lost 55-52.

But he didn’t see the comparison.

“Rutgers, we didn’t stop them,” Wilson said. “Ball State scored one touchdown, so I kind of felt like we were in control of the game. Would have been nice to have been cleaner.”

Being clean is something the Hoosiers have struggled to accomplish in recent history, and it’s something they are working on improving by Saturday’s home against Wake Forest.

In 2015, while they nearly defeated top-15 ranked teams like Ohio State, Iowa and Michigan — losing to each team by one score — the Hoosiers allowed nonconference opponents to remain competitive.

IU only defeated Southern Illinois, Florida International and Western Kentucky by a combined 18 points.

In those three nonconference games, IU allowed an average of 544 total yards and surrendered a combined 13 offensive touchdowns. Of

those three teams, only Western Kentucky played in a bowl game that season.

To Rutgers alone, the Hoosiers allowed 596 total yards and seven offensive touchdowns. To Ball State this season, though, IU let the Cardinals score one offensive touchdown on 371 total yards.

In the second half, when Ball State recorded 210 total yards, scored a touchdown off a blocked punt and recorded

its only offensive touchdown, IU had begun subbing in second-team players to build the depth the coaching staff has desired all offseason.

It was just the dissipating 30-point lead that had many thinking about Rutgers.

Sophomore receiver Nick Westbrook said postgame that the Hoosiers became complacent — something former Hoosier Nate Sudfeld mentioned last

season, and Wilson and senior receiver Mitchell Paige mentioned.

IU defensive coordinator Tom Allen said he does not want complacency in his defense. He does not want to surrender 25-point leads like IU surrendered against Rutgers in 2015.

“We didn’t have that killer instinct that you have to have to be a great defense,” Allen said. “To me, that’s a sign of

maturity. We’ve got to grow in that area, the ability to consistently and repeatedly do the little things over and over again.”

That killer instinct is what Wilson and Allen are coaching in the wake of a 3-0 Wake Forest team coming to Bloomington on Saturday.

Wilson said he understands that human nature tells competitors to relax when they have a large lead, but

they have to keep competing.

Wilson credited the balance in football to upsets around the nation and why winning in college football is becoming more and more difficult.

To Wilson, no lead is safe — not a 14-point lead, not an 18-point lead, not a 25-point lead.

“No lead is safe,” Wilson said. “You’ve got to play smart. You’ve got to play hard.

You’ve got to finish.”

IU’s ‘best player’ hasn’t seen the field yet, but could soon

By Jordan Guskey jguskey@indiana.edu @JordanGuskey

Camion Patrick had yet to play a down for the Hoosiers when IU Coach Kevin Wilson took a moment after IU’s win over Purdue in 2015 to call him the best player.

Patrick came to Bloomington last year by way of a transfer from East Camion Mississippi Patrick Community College, where he caught 42 balls for 631 yards and 12 scores in 2014 and contributed to back-to-back national

championship teams.

Although an academic issue kept him on the scout team, he made the most of his opportunity and by year’s end was named the offensive scout team player of the year.

The praise continued for Patrick throughout the offseason as the now-junior recovered from a knee injury sustained during spring ball. Originally, the target date for his return was Oct. 1, IU’s Big Ten opener against Michigan State.

But his presence in practice and in warmups for the home opener against Ball State could signal an earlier start.

“He’s no different than Dan,” Wilson said, referenc-

ing senior offensive guard Dan Feeney, who’s recovering from a concussion.

“We’re waiting for the doctors to clear him. So he’s practicing. He’s cleared for practice. And you know, it’s not my call. It’s those guys that determine that.”

Wilson has said when Patrick does return to the field he would likely start out at wide receiver. The move will allow the junior college transfer to build up his stamina and strength if he does make his home with the running back group.

Neither offensive coordinator Kevin Johns nor running backs coach Deland McCullough would commit to a definite position for Patrick. Both did reference the

already deep running back group, however.

Injuries to two receivers in sophomore J-Shun Harris II and junior Simmie Cobbs Jr. could necessitate Patrick’s use at receiver. He definitely comes in highly regarded by IU coaches and players alike.

“He can bring a lot,” junior running back Devine Redding said. “He can bring excitement, he can bring physicality. He brings a lot to the offense that we need and can help us.”

Senior wide receiver Mitchell Paige said Patrick adds another big, fast body on the outside that’ll take attention away from his fellow receivers and allow everyone to play faster. Paige

also noted Patrick’s good hands, as did junior cornerback Rashard Fant.

Fant said he’s been going against Patrick for a year now, routinely matching up one-on-one against him, and attributes his success during Big Ten play in 2015 to that practice.

“That made me better because he’s so physical, so he brings that physical presence,” Fant said. “But, then he has strong hands, when the ball hits his hands he’s not letting go so you’ve got to be even stronger. And his route running — he’s faster than what you’d think.”

Fant said Patrick ran a 4.38 40-yard dash during spring ball, and was impressed he was able to do so

at 225 pounds.

McCullough also discussed Patrick’s size and speed combination, but said Patrick isn’t hanging his hat on all the praise coming his way. Patrick wants to get on the field and make plays in a game, McCullough said, and ensure any tag placed on him is justified by game performance.

Still, that doesn’t mean Fant isn’t going to sing his praises.

“He’s ready to go and I can’t wait to see him out there because I’ve been going against him for a whole year and people don’t even know how good he really is,” Fant said. “I don’t think he knows how good he really is and can be.”

GOTT TAKES

Not Practice, We Talkin’ ‘Bout A.I. Shaquille O’Neal was there. So were Yao Ming, Tom Izzo and Sheryl Swoopes. Essentially a practice for Sept.

10’s Hall of Fame Enshrinement Speech, Sept. 9 was the day for the future Hall of Famers’ Press Conference.

Allen Iverson’s chair remained vacant.

Apparently, A.I. had missed his initial flight to Springfield, Massachusetts, but I’d like to think that this was the final exclamation point on his eminent 2002 speech. Iverson had always hated practice; it seemed only right that he would show up late to his final one.

It’s easy to overlook Iverson, both in stature and play.

As a 6-foot point guard, Iverson was almost always the shortest on the court.

The 2001 NBA’s Most Valuable Player never won a title. He bounced around the league after his ten years in Philadelphia.

He was never a pure point guard, nor was he a pure shooting guard. In fact, we still don’t know what he was. .

A.I. is perhaps the most polarizing player in NBA history, and I loved him for it.

There are two reasons I got into basketball. The first is because I always wanted to play, even if I had to wear rec-specs along the way. The second is because I always wanted to watch Iverson.

No one made basketball more fun and entertaining than A.I. Every crossover, ankle-breaker and fearless drive into the land of giants became must-watch television.

After being drafted in 1996, Iverson won the scoring title in 1998-99, and again in 200001, 2001-02 and 2004-05. His playoff career scoring average of 29.7 points per game is second of all time to Michael Jordan.

Without Iverson, there’s no way we would currently have point guards who look to score first. A.I. was the trendsetter in a league full of trendsetters.

With all of his accomplishments on the court, Iverson’s lasting impact is probably best found off of it.

In a write-up about Iverson’s career, Bethlehem Shoals truly isolated what made the Sixers’ leader so important.

“At the risk of sounding corny, he made it OK for players to be themselves, a form of empowerment that directly fueled say, LeBron James’ insistence on exerting control over all aspects of his career

in every situation imaginable,” Shoals wrote. “Oh, and lest we forget, James is covered in ink and nobody even blinked an eye at it. Different as the two may be basketball-wise (and as public figures), you can draw a direct connection between Iverson and LeBron.”

At Allen Iverson’s Hall of Fame Speech on Sept. 10, A.I. spoke about many things: “The Chapelle Show,” Jadakiss, his love for his teammates and coaches, and his dedication to basketball. He choked up throughout his speech, and the emotion in the room was palpable.

A.I. may have been late for the Hall of Fame “practice,” but he definitely showed up when it counted ... his career in a nutshell. gigottfr@umail.iu.edu

“We came out aggressive in all aspects,” Huybers said.

“It was critical to win because our goal is to go to the NCAA Tournament, so every Big Ten game is very critical.”

The third set was a nail biter as the lead kept switching sides down the line. Northwestern came out on top 2725 in its only set win.

Contrarily, the fourth set was a completely different story as the Hoosiers never trailed from start to finish. The last tie stood at 11-11 before IU moved into its second gear and broke the game open.

The Hoosiers would close out the match with a 2520 win in a set that hardly seemed that close.

“It makes me feel good as a coach that they are able to stay mature and calm in a stressful situation,” Dunbar-Kruzan said. “There really is no easy Big Ten win.”

With a difficult slate of Big Ten games approaching, Huybers said the team collectively breathed a sigh of relief to be in the win column as the season gets underway.

sisters who didn’t have much of a choice but to stand up against the energy transfer company,” sophomore Students for a Democratic Society representative Stanley Njuguna said. “Let me hear you say stand up.”

“Stand up,” the crowd called back.

“Let me hear you say fight back,” Njuguna said.

“Fight back!”

IU junior and event organizer Kristen Billings said she came to both logistically support the march and fight for fossil fuel divestment.

“That’s the main goal,” she said. “Really, I think the consequences are not only for our future, but for all generations, all posterity. We’re just trying to combat envi-

ronmental degradation and climate disruption.”

IU graduate student Traci Jordan said she came because she is native and involved with the Dakota Access Pipeline.

“These lovely people are connecting the groups because they are connected,” she said of Reinvest IU. “The divesting from fossil fuels is a key step into moving away from the sorts of things we see happening with all the pipelines, illegal infrastructure being dug on tree land, on sacred land.”

As Reinvest IU encouraged attendees to donate to the Standing Rock Sioux, Jordan brought a carload of items she had collected. Vargas said his personal friends would take the donations directly to North Dakota.

“Like many of you here to-

day, I’m here because I’m fed all the way up,” Njuguna said.

“The lack of progress isn’t just frustrating. It is incredibly dangerous. We simply cannot afford to drag our feet when we are on a freight train heading off the climate cliff at full throttle. It’s about time our leaders shift the conversation accordingly.”

Most marchers looked hopefully to the future.

“Imagine what would happen if we take a stand and say, ‘You are not going to get away with this’,” IU graduate and Reinvest IU member Wes Cammenga said. “I suspect it would change everything.”

“We don’t need a crystal ball to tell us what’s going to happen,” Vargas said.

“We know what’s going to happen.”

IU physics professor Ben Brabson said if students here

do not mobilize, suffering will continue after this August, the hottest month on record.

But the rally wasn’t where marchers planned to end.

“Rallies are really fun social events,” Njuguna said.

“You get to scream and shout and dance about things that you’re really passionate about, but at the end of the day, each and every one of us is going to go home.”

He said everyone must look at themselves and ask difficult questions.

“We’re going to have to decide whether or not we’ve had enough,” he said. “We’re going to have to decide whether or not we’re ready to be the revolution. Hoosiers, are you ready to be the revolution?”

“Yes,” the crowd resounded.

The festival drew in acts from around the world, including Canadian bluegrass band the Spinney Brothers.

“We love coming to Bean Blossom,” band member Gary Dalrymple said. “There’s just so much history and people here.”

Famous bluegrass musician Bill Monroe was hailed by many as the father of bluegrass before his death in 1996, Dillman said. It was Monroe who coined the term “bluegrass,” and he shaped the genre into what it is today.

In the late 1940s, Monroe bought the park and campgrounds that eventually became the festival’s venue, Dillman said. Monroe loved the landscape of the park because it reminded him of Kentucky, Dillman said.

Monroe is presented as a highly respected figure among many of the performing groups. Monroe’s involvement with both the festival and the park is why Bean Blossom is considered the “Mecca of bluegrass,” and the Spinney Brothers even sang a

Throughout the fourday festival, many popular bluegrass acts are scheduled to perform, including the Larry Stephenson Band, the Spinney Brothers and Jesse McReynolds and the Virginia Boys.

However, the musical performances are not the only attractions featured at the festival, Dillman said.

The Bluegrass and Country Hall of Fame, which Dillman said is popular among many of the attendees, is adjacent to the festival.

Many of the performing artists will also be putting on workshops to help amateur musicians learn how to play and work in a band, Dillman said. All around the campgrounds, trailers are set up where people camp, cook out and play together in jam-bands, and the standard gift shops and food stands to be expected at a festival can be found.

Despite their success and prominence within bluegrass culture, Dillman said many of these artists cite the festival as their favorite place to perform.

“I’ve been told by several musicians that it means more to them to play on that stage than at the Grand Ole Oprey,” Dillman said.

HE THRON T H C T E WA With the decade’s reigning power couple no longer, what pair will rise to become the next Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie?

Weekend staff discusses the possibilities.

E ELL H C MI

K RAC A B +

Alicia Vikander and Michael Fassbender Alicia Vikander’s career has been eerily similar to Angelina’s since day one — even down to breaking out with an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress and taking over the “Tomb Raider” franchise.

She and partner Michael Fassbender met and fell in love on the set of a movie, and they are notoriously private about their relationship. Sound familiar?

Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling Rumors are swirling that these two tied the knot this week, just as Brangelina officially broke up.

Is there some sort of celeb power couple balance, where if one couple breaks up, another is added?

If so, Gosling and Mendes may be the universe’s unofficial successors to Brad and Angie.

Michelle Obama and Barack Obama They’re already the most powerful couple in America, and in a few months, they’re going to have a lot of time on their hands.

In case it wasn’t clear that Hollywood is obsessed with the Obamas, they just made a critically acclaimed movie about Michelle and Barack’s first date, “Southside with You.” Brangelina who?

CHRIS SY + J OHN

Ellen Degeneres and Portia de Rossi Ellen Degeneres married Australian actress Portia de Rossi in 2008, and they have no qualms about publicly proclaiming their love.

De Rossi is currently stirring things up on “Scandal,” while the queen of daytime TV is doing just fine in her own right.

Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux You could argue that she’s been acting royalty all along, but it seems only fair that Jen and Justin should get their own shot at the ultimate Hollywood power couple mantle.

We all know Jen is qualified, but no scrubs for this girl: her husband is a critical favorite on HBO’s fantastic “The Leftovers” and stars with Emily Blunt in the upcoming “The Girl on the Train.”

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend He ate a plate of chicken wings off of her butt.

From the “All of Me” music video to trolling haters on Twitter, these two are strong contenders.

But, to be honest, the chickenwing-butt photo may be the best part of their relationship.

David Beckham and Victoria Beckham Contrary to popular belief, not all British royalty wear a crown.

David and Victoria Beckham are

going strong 17 years into their relationship, and their brood of adorable kids rivals even that of the Jolie-Pitt family.

If the Beckhams ever decided to stage a hostile takeover of American pop culture, there would be little resistance from us.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Kimye could soon be rising through the ashes of Brangelina’s marriage to take their place as America’s Best Couple.

Fashion designer, mogul, rapper, reality star, parents — this couple has something for everyone.

(Also, they had sex on the back of a motorcycle for a music video, which some could argue should make them win by default.)

Amal Alamuddin and George Clooney When it comes to taking over the “pretty boy actor and hardcore activist wife” dynamic, who better than George and Amal?

Hollywood’s favorite bachelor settled down with Lebanese lawyer, activist and author Alamuddin in 2014, and they’re still going strong.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z Who are we kidding? Recent rumors aside, Bey and Jay are already the ultimate worldwide power couple. Even Brad and Angie could hardly keep up.

Fresh faces give Emmys a makeover As recent controversy would suggest, it can be next to impossible to get an award show right.

From questions of diversity to overlong shows and boring bits, the very mention of an awards show brings with it a certain sense of resignation.

That’s why, on Sunday night, it was so rare that the 68th Emmy Awards managed to get just about everything right. Hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, the show awarded both deserved veterans and a variety of diverse first-time winners.

It also clocked in at just under three hours, which is as blessedly short as any awards show in recent history.

The top prizes, though merited, weren’t as new and exciting as many of the acting awards. HBO reigned supreme yet again as “Game of Thrones” and “Veep” took home Outstanding Drama Series and Outstanding Comedy Series respectively.

HBO’s popular drama “Game of Thrones” tied its previous record of 12 Emmy wins in one year and has now won 38 overall, making it the most awarded scripted primetime series in history.

Jeffrey Tambor also picked up a consecutive win for his performance as transgender matriarch Maura Pfefferman in

“Transparent.”

He took the opportunity to address recent controversy over the casting of transgender roles, saying, “I would not be unhappy were I the last cisgender male to play a female gender on television. We have work to do.”

Mr. Robot’s Rami Malek was awarded his first Emmy

for his work in “Mr. Robot,” joining a bevy of other firsttime winners.

Fan-favorite Tatiana Maslany’s surprise win for “Orphan Black” was one of the most shocking, crowdpleasing moments of the night, and SNL alum Kate McKinnon also upset her category to take home the gold.

Although many would argue that she was a lock, Sarah Paulson’s Emmy for “The People v. OJ Simpson: American Crime Story” was long-deserved and oh-so satisfying. Paulson brought Marcia Clark herself as her date, and she used her speech to apologize for unfairly judging Clark during the Simpson trial, as many

Americans did.

This year’s show rewarded a number of minority nominees, including Courtney B. Vance and Sterling K. Brown for “The People v. OJ Simpson,” Alan Yang and Aziz Ansari for “Master of None,” Regina King for “American Crime,” and two female TV directors (who are a minority in their own right.)

As Brown put it, “A lot of you may not have known who I was, but you checked the box anyway, and that makes me very happy.”

Granted, not all the winners were particularly popular; after a lengthy bit about how she never deigns to show up to the Emmys, Dame Maggie Smith won yet again for her role as the Dowager Countess on the final season of “Downton Abbey.”

Kimmel stormed the stage and took her trophy, joking that she could pick it up from the lost and found.

Considering that she was up against Lena Headey, Maisie Williams and Emilia Clarke, Smith had better watch her back — the last season of “Game of Thrones” would suggest that they’re not the most forgiving group.

Usher is not hard to love on newest album ‘HARD II LOVE’ Usher

B+ The cover of Usher’s latest LP, “Hard II Love,” features a Grecian bust of the singer-songwriter. However, it’s not by any means a perfectly-crafted sculpture. It’s weathered-down with several pieces either tarnished or broken off completely.

Despite obvious influence on the artwork from Jay-Z’s “Magna Carta ... Holy Grail,” the album’s cover still perfectly embodies the no-filter, brooding feel of the record inside of it. It’s a type of beauty that only comes from hard labor — rugged hands, sweaty brows and wrinkled skin.

“Hard II Love” is Usher at his most vulnerable and soulful. In a world where R&B has been reduced to some weird blend of hip-hop and occasional falsetto vocals, we have artists like Usher who bring it back to its roots while

also managing to cater to a modern audience.

Considering how unfathomably commonplace “Looking 4 Myself” and “Versus” were, this LP is a blessing.

Usher not only steps up his game lyrically but also provides some of the best beats all year on songs like “Bump,”

“No Limit” and “Tell Me.” For the last few years, Usher has been known as a sort of optimistic-sounding R&B artist, with songs like “O.M.G.” and other singles in his recent repertoire. Not anymore.

“I fucked up / I’m man enough to admit it.” Whoa.

That’s how “Hard II Love” opens.

Who would have expected that?

It’s clear Usher really prioritized instrumentation as much as his vocals and lyrics on this LP. Most of these songs would be able to easily

stand on their own as instrumentals, especially “Downtime,” which has an eerie Cliff Martinez vibe to it.

Musically, Usher seems to have opened himself to other genres as well. “Champion,” which was featured in the recent sports movie “Hands of Stone,” has a strong Panamanian influence that is helped by Latin pop singer Rubén Blades.

Of course, in traditional Usher fashion, Blades isn’t the only featured guest on this LP. Lil Jon gives one of his most impressive performances in years on “Bump,” while Future and Young Thug remind us just how dull and overrated they are on “Rivals” and “No Limit” respectively.

But their general lackluster personas are beautifully reimbursed with one of the best songs of Usher’s career, “Tell Me.” When I first saw this track was eight-and-a-half minutes long, I groaned. Songs exceeding five minutes in

length are for heavy metal and avant-garde performers, not pop stars. I was under the impression this would be Usher trying to be unique and simply failing at it.

Fortunately, I was wrong.

Usher’s percussion rhythm has a Swedish electronic vibe to it like something from Fever Ray’s self-titled debut album. Blend that with Usher’s lovely falsetto and newfound grimness, and you have a track worthy of the utmost praise.

Not only is it the sexiest song on “Hard II Love,” but it is also the most ingenious performance on any Usher track.

“Hard II Love” is a record that, like the Grecian art it so boldly compares itself to, looks to the past, present and future in equal lights. Perhaps too it will stand just as boldly after its 2,000-year reign.

Indie folk rock band takes Buskirk stage tonight From IDS reports

RACHEL ROSENSTOCK | IDS

Street art in the old Panier Quarter of Marseille. Fishing and trade via the Old Port was the traditional way of life in Marseille, and they are both still tied to the image of the city.

Bloomington is the fifth stop on indie folk rock band Mountain Goats’ tour of its new album, according to a press release. The band will play 8 p.m. Thursday at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater.

“Beat the Champ,” released in April, is a collection of 12 songs about professional wrestling. John Darnielle, the band’s founder and songwriter, drew inspiration from the sport because it was a method of escaping reality for him when he was a child, he said in the release.

“I wrote these songs to re-immerse myself in the blood and fire of the visions that spoke to me as a child, and to see what more there might be in them now that I’m grown,” Darnielle said in the release.

While Darnielle founded

MOUNTAIN GOATS 8 p.m. today Buskirk-Chumley Theater the band in 1991, it only found its final member and became a quartet a little more than a year ago, according to its website. “‘Never do things too fast’ has always been my motto: write a lot, release a lot, but only change up your game when it feels right,” Darnielle said on the website.

The years leading up to the current tour have built up a loyal fanbase, Darnielle said. Groups on tour with the band mention how great the audience members are.

“You rule the hills like great ancient kings,” Darnielle said. “May we be worthy of your reign.”

A first taste of France’s most famous seaside city DreamWorks Animation Even though I’m halfway across the world, I can’t help but draw parallels between my life in Bloomington and my new life in Aix-enProvence, France.

Just as Bloomington is a typical college town only a short drive away from a bigger city, Aix-en-Provence has the same relationship with Marseille, France’s second largest city.

This past Saturday, my academic program took a day trip to get our first taste of the metropolis.

The Greeks founded Marseille around 600 B.C. Even today, signs of ancient life linger in the Old Port, in the medieval forts and cathedrals right off the shore and in the architecture within the older arrondissements, districts of the city.

We stepped off our bus just below Notre Dame de la Garde, a basilica built on the remains of an ancient fort located at Marseille’s high-

est point of elevation.

At the lookout points, we saw the city stretching off into the mountains farther than the eye could see. We also got a bird’s-eye view of the Frioul archipelago, the most famous of its islands being If, where the fortress Château d’If is located.

As a longtime fan of the story “The Count of Monte Cristo,” whose setting is the 16th century fortress, my heart skipped a few beats finally seeing it in person.

I hope that on my next trip to Marseille, I can take the ferry out to the island and explore.

Descending the long and steep hill down to the city proper, we stopped by Four des Navettes, the oldest bakery in Marseille. Open since 1781, it is almost as old as the United States.

It’s not every day you have pastries baked from a recipe almost as old as the Constitution.

We walked along the Vieux Port, where thousands of yachts and boats were docked, swaying in the wind.

So close to the sea, I was worried about being blown into the water because the wind was so strong.

I read about the famous Mistral wind that blows down from Russia and tears through this region, and, since it only just started to cool down here, I can’t even imagine what it will be like as the wind gets even more powerful during the winter.

We left Marseille a few hours later, after walking through the old Panier Quarter and back down to the steps of Fort Saint-Jean, where the new Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilisations is located.

While the Panier Quarter represents old Marseille, the museum represents the revamped and remolded part of the city, a result of

global head to appear at IU From IDS Reports

Marseille being chosen as a European Capital of Culture in 2013.

Our professor told us that Marseille was very much a different city and less of a destination just four years ago, and the negative attitudes toward the city linger for many French people.

The rivalry between Aixen-Provence and Marseille is fierce, with Aixois labeled bourgeois, or middle class, and the Marseillais generally considered lower class.

I can’t pretend to understand the rivalry completely enough to agree or disagree, but the reactions garnered by mentioning either city to a French person are stored in my memory bank as a useful way to learn more about the culture of Southern France. rarosens@indiana.edu

Jim Fielding, global head of consumer products for DreamWorks Animation, will present the film “Kung Fu Panda 3” at 3 p.m. Sept.

23 at the IU Cinema, according to a press release from the Media School.

As an IU alumnus, Fielding’s participation with the screening is a part of the CINEKids International Children’s Film Series. This series is geared toward exposing children to international films including animation, comedy and drama features.

Because of the event’s international focus, “Kung Fu Panda 3” will screen in Mandarin Chinese. For non-Mandarin speakers, English subtitles will be provided.

Using his background in international cinema,

Fielding will lead a discussion about the modern business of film and how DreamWorks, in particular, is working to expand its content to international audiences. According to the release, this expansion has a direct focus on large markets like China.

The film screening and talk are free events, but tickets are required to attend, which are available on the IU Cinema website or at the IU Auditorium box office.

Earlier in the day, Fielding will also participate in a roundtable breakfast talk with Media School students. Because he started out in a similar position as a student at IU, attendees can learn about his career path and specializations in media management and integrated marketing.

Blues band to play Buskirk

By Emily Abshire eabshire@indiana.edu | @emily_abs

For fans of the Rolling Stones, Cream or Fleetwood Mac, there’s at least one man to thank for his hand in their successes.

John Mayall — nicknamed the Godfather of British Blues — founded the Bluesbreakers, which over the years included the Rolling Stones’ Mick Taylor, Cream’s Eric Clapton and Jack Bruce, and Fleetwood Mac’s Peter Green and Mick Fleetwood.

The blues singer, guitarist, organist and songwriter will roll into the Buskirk-Chumley Theater at 8 p.m. Sunday Although Mayall’s music career has spanned more than 50 years, he plans to incorporate new elements into his fall tour.

For the first time, he will

be performing as part of a trio, according to a press release from Mark Pucci Media. He will be joined by bassist Greg Rzab and drummer Jay Davenport, who have backed him for eight years.

“Having never performed anywhere or at any time without a guitar sidekick, I found that I was able to explore new territories in a trio configuration playing organ, keyboards, harmonica and guitar,” Mayall said in another press release from Mark Pucci Media. “Needless to say, I was surprised at how different and stimulating the experience was for me as a performer.”

Even with the new format, Mayall said the band will perform his old and new music. Mayall’s discography boasts 64 albums, including Bluesbreakers material, live albums, solo work and other

compilations.

“Every show is a crosssection of all periods of my career,” Mayall said.

The band tries to represent the entire catalog within one show, he said.

However, it’s a different performance every night of the tour. It also keeps it interesting for the performers.

Mayall’s 2015 studio album “Find a Way to Care” parallels his live show with its mix of original songs, and covers that nod to the past.

Mayall said he finished recording a new album about a month ago called “Talk About That.” It features guest guitarist Joe Walsh of the Eagles, and took one week to record.

Both albums were recorded with Forty Below Records, which Mayall signed to in 2013.

His prior company would

JOHN MAYALL 8 p.m. Sunday Buskirk-Chumley Theater leave big gaps in between producing records, he said, which were filled by releasing live albums. When the company didn’t want to produce studio albums anymore, he signed with Forty Below.

“We get things done, that’s for sure,” he said.

Audience members for Sunday’s show will experience Mayall’s music discography from 1965 to present day.

They might even get a glimpse into the future, if he previews any songs from “Talk About That,” slated to come out in early 2017, according to the release.

“The blues is alive and well in different interpretations,” Mayall said.

Documentary captures Fab Four in prime ‘THE BEATLES: EIGHT DAYS A WEEK – THE TOURING YEARS’ Ron Howard

BWhen Ron Howard was a young boy, he could have sworn to you he was the biggest Beatles fan in the world.

He was one of 73 million people in the United States gathered around his TV watching the band on “The Ed Sullivan Show,” and for his 10th birthday, he requested a Beatles wig.

After 56 years and two Academy Award wins, Howard finally got his chance to meet the remaining two members of the band and direct his very own documentary of the greatest band in the world.

“The Beatles: Eight Days a Week – The Touring Years” — my God, what a title — is the latest of what is probably hundreds of documentaries about the Fab Four. It explores the band during their touring years, particularly in America, from 1963 to their final tour in 1966.

The movie was released in theaters last Friday, and was dropped on Hulu the very next day.

In order to keep the theater incentive strong, however, Howard has included more than 30 minutes of footage from the legendary Shea Stadium concert from 1966 in the theatrical version.

MOVIE STILLS DATABASE

“The Beatles: Eight Days a Week – The Touring Years” focuses on the band from 1963 to their final tour in 1966.

The documentary features interviews from Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Whoopi Goldberg, Larry Kane, Kitty Oliver and many others.

The true star of this documentary, however, is the absurd amount of rare and never-before-seen archive footage and home videos of the Beatles.

Whether you’re a Beatles fan or not, you’re going to want to watch John, Paul, George and Ringo banter back and forth in that classic

Horoscope

“A Hard Day’s Night” style we all fell in love with.

Something I have never quite before seen in a Beatles documentary that I particularly loved in “Eight Days a Week” was an exploration on how Beatlemania had an effect on race in America.

This includes the band’s refusal to play for segregated audiences in the south. Goldberg also described the band as being “colorless.”

With that said, I was really hoping a documentary prom-

On top of that, the majority of information given in the documentary is so surfacelevel that even casual Beatles fans will probably have already heard the majority of stories told in the 100-minute runtime.

Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band bring “The River Tour” to Philadelphia Feb. 12 at the Wells Fargo Center. Springsteen has a compilation album due out Sept. 23 and an autobiography to be released Sept. 27.

Springsteen prepares album, book releases

Friday, September 23 2:30 - 5 p.m.

IU School of Public Health on the lawn near the tennis courts

1025 E. 7th St. Across from the Indiana Memorial Union

Every decade has its own king and queen ruling over its era of music.

Elvis Presley and Aretha Franklin conquered the 1950s, Bob Dylan and Diana Ross reigned the 1960s and David Bowie and Donna Summer dominated the 1970s.

For the 1980s, it was Bruce Springsteen and Madonna we hailed as our musical saviors. So, when the former announced a new autobiography, fans were thrilled.

“Born to Run,” more than 500 pages of pure, unadulterated prose from “the Boss,” will be released on Sept. 27.

Such a massive length may be a happy surprise to most Springsteen fans.

Despite his monumental success, he has always been a rather mysterious figure in the public eye. No scandals or horrendous deeds haunt this man. He’s simply Bruce — no more, no less.

However, in some recent interviews with CBS’s Sunday Morning and “Vanity Fair,” Springsteen has revealed that even “the Boss” is not impenetrable to demons.

For the past decade,

Springsteen said he has been suffering from severe clinical depression. While never directly affecting his work, it was a personal hell that drilled him into one of the deepest holes of his almost 67-year life.

“It lasted for a long time — it would last for a year, and then it would slip away,” Springsteen said on Sunday Morning. “Then it would come back for a year and a half.”

Going even further back, Springsteen had an angry and abusive father who Springsteen claimed to have loved him as much as despise him. No doubt this influenced his paternal-like music and care for his fans.

On a lighter note, the book undoubtedly will contain hundreds of pages of content describing Springsteen’s iconic relationship with E Street Band saxophonist Clarence Clemons, a talent who would put Bobby Keys to shame.

This could perhaps be the greatest rock autobiography to hit bookshelves since Bob Dylan’s “Chronicles: Volume One” or Keith Richards’s “Life.”

There are many rock stars who write memoirs

and autobiographies as a sort of cash grab and typically don’t even write it themselves. Those usually turn out to be total gray or a blinding flood of deceitful neon.

We don’t expect that from Springsteen.

In fact, I think it would be impossible for the man to even conjure up such a loathsome idea.

Remember this is the man who voluntarily performs four hours a night at every single one of his concerts and enjoys every second of it.

If the book somehow isn’t enough, it will be preceded by a new compilation album by Springsteen called “Chapter and Verse” on Friday, Springsteen’s birthday.

The record will feature 18 handpicked, favorite songs from Springsteen, including five previously unreleased tracks from The Castiles, Steel Mill and the Bruce Springsteen Band.

In other words, Christmas is coming early this year, and we couldn’t have asked for a better gift.

W | UNCOVERING BLOOMINGTON

Enjoy ice cream, games, prizes and a fun photo booth. Special guest Mayor John Hamilton will read a proclamation declaring the fourth Friday of September IU School of Public Health Day.

How to choose between the city’s pizza options It’s getting to the time in the semester that involves late night pizza purchases.

So, to make your life easier, I’m going to dissect the good, the bad and the ugly of Bloomington pizza.

I am from the Chicago area, so I consider myself a self-proclaimed pizza snob.

I like deep-dish pizza and saucy, Chicago thin crust, which actually compliments my attitude quite well.

But in Bloomington, I’m just not going to find those amazing options and tastes I’m used to, so I’ve had to settle and try many, many places to get the best bite.

Here’s the top three places you must go — one for price, one for flavor and one for convenience.

Rockit’s Famous Pizza is the cheapest and arguably best pizza you can find in Bloomington. The ultra-thin crust is more in vein of New York-style pizza but the balanced sauce and not too sweet, perfectly browned cheese complements the palate. It’s located on North Walnut Street, right by Blue-

bird Nightclub and other local bars.

At Rockit’s you can buy it by the slice. It also has the best breadsticks one can find. They are crunchy on the outside but baked warm and soft on the inside. Skip the Pizza X breadsticks that often come doughy and barely baked. Grab these if you’re on that side of town.

The best place for flavor is Mother Bear’s Pizza on East Third Street. There are numerous options and combinations, so you’re not stuck with your standard red sauce and meat pizza.

The bread on the pizza is thicker, but the toppings tend to cover the crust. This is considered a deep-dish pizza, but it’s more bread than toppings in comparison to traditional deep dishes.

I recommend anything with their BBQ sauce. And don’t skip the breadsticks here either. They rival Rockit’s with their seasoning and are always warm and cooked to perfection.

Mother Bear’s has won

multiple awards and also has weekly specials to make it affordable for your pocket.

The Munchie Madness deal is one of the best ways to grab pizza in Bloomington.

Finally, Pizza X is your place to grab pizza for convenience. The pizza is subpar but it will soak up whatever you’ve got going on. It has a convenient location across from the residence halls on Tenth Street, and it has the Big X Bargain and Little 5 deals to help you save money.

The nacho cheese dipping sauce offered for breadsticks is the best dipping sauce at any pizza place in Bloomington, but be warned, sometimes the breadsticks are not fully cooked.

If you’re not splitting this or taking advantage of one of Pizza X’s deals, you may want to try somewhere else as the normal prices are overpriced for the quality.
