What seed will IU be?

By Michael Hughes michhugh@indiana.edu | @MichaelHughes94

With all the major conference tournaments underway, the NCAA tournament field is close to being finalized. Leading up to the selection show Sunday, IU is a lock for the NCAA Tournament. What is still undecided is both where IU will be playing and what seed it will be.

Winning the Big Ten Tournament and the right sequence of events could have the Hoosiers as a No. 2 seed playing the first weekend of

the tournament in St. Louis or Des Moines, Iowa, and potentially their Sweet 16 and Elite 8 games in Chicago or Louisville, Kentucky.

But an early exit from the Big Ten Tournament and well-performing teams below them could mean the Hoosiers dropping to a No. 4 seed and traveling to Denver; Spokane, Washington or Providence, Rhode Island, for the first weekend and then the Anaheim, California or Philadelphia for any potential Sweet 16 or Elite 8 games.

IU rises to 2-seed IU wins Big Ten Tourney For this scenario to be possible, IU will most likely need to win the Big Ten Tournament. Most projections have IU as a No. 3 seed right now, but as one of the lower No. 3 seeds.

So, the Hoosiers will need a couple more signature wins to move up a seed line and then hope for some teams above them to falter in their conference tournaments.

Notre Dame plays well This is important for a couple reasons. One, it means the Hoosiers’ win against the Fighting Irish in December gets stronger and stronger.

Two, many of the teams Notre Dame could play in the ACC Tournament are currently projected ahead of or at the same level as IU.

Xavier loses early The Musketeers are squarely in as a No. 2 seed right now but a bad loss in the Big East Tournament could change that. They are also in the same geographical region as the Hoosiers, meaning they will be fighting each other to stay close to home for the first couple rounds of the tournament.

Oregon stumbles early The Ducks are projected as a No. 2 seed right now, but an early loss in the Pac-12 Tournament could change that. Especially since Oregon’s first game will be against Washington, a team currently projected to not make the NCAA tournament.

IU remains a 3-seed IU wins at least one game For the Hoosiers’ seed to remain static, they can’t lose in their first game of the Big Ten Tournament.

What might vary is where IU plays.

A loss in the semifinals might send the Hoosiers away from home for the first round. A loss in the finals could send them somewhere closer to Bloomington.

Michigan State wins Big Ten Tourney If the Spartans win the Big Ten Tournament, that could mean wins against Maryland in the semis and against Purdue or Maryland in the finals, all teams trying to catch the Hoosiers in terms of seeding.

Kentucky doesn’t win the SEC Tourney The Wildcats are another local team who could take a Midwest site from the Hoosiers. But any loss in a weak SEC Tournament will most likely keep Kentucky as a No. 4 seed.

Utah plays well in the Pac-12 Tournament The Utes are also a No. 3 seed right now, and a nice run in the conference tournament should keep the Hoosiers behind them. This most likely involves beating a Cal team in the semifinals who is surging right now.

IU falls to 4-seed IU loses first game of Big Ten Tourney If IU loses to either Michigan or Northwestern, they could be in trouble.

Not only could they drop a seed line, but they might also find themselves traveling a ways for the opening weekend.

Purdue wins Big Ten Tourney If the Boilermakers win in Indianapolis, it means they picked up a lot of quality wins along the way. Potential wins against Iowa in the quarterfinals, IU in the semifinals and then a potential win against Michigan State in the finals could have Purdue’s stock skyrocket.

Iowa wins Big Ten Tourney Essentially the same scenario as Purdue, but with the Hawkeyes winning in the quarterfinals. This one is a longshot, though, with the Hawkeyes down to a No. 6 seed after losing four of its last five to close the season.

Maryland wins Big Ten Tourney Maryland is coming from the other side of the bracket, so this would mean wins against Wisconsin in the quarterfinals, Michigan State in the semifinals and beating either Iowa or Purdue in the finals. The Terps are currently a No. 5 seed.

Former IU player arrested for OWI From IDS reports

Former IU defensive lineman Darius Latham was arrested Wednesday morning for operating a vehicle while intoxicated.

Police saw Latham drive a vehicle without his headlights on at the intersection of East 10th Street and Indiana Avenue.

A report by IU Police Department Officer Mat Lewis said Latham failed both a preliminary breath test and field sobriety tests. He was transported to the IUPD where he failed to provide a sufficient breath sample during a chemical test.

A warrant was then obtained for a blood test, and Latham was taken to IU Health Bloomington Hospital.

Lab results, which will determine his blood-alcohol content, are pending.

Latham was booked into Monroe County Jail at about 5:40 a.m. on the OWI charge, a class A misdemeanor.

Latham declared for the NFL Draft on Dec. 30, 2015, foregoing what would have been his senior season with IU. He was a 4-star recruit out of high school and was one of major recruiting victories for IU Coach Kevin Wilson.

He had a tumultuous 2015 season at IU. Latham was one of several IU players to be suspended for the season opener Sept. 5, 2015 for an undisclosed violation of team rules.

Latham was then suspended indefinitely Sept. 29, 2015, pending the results of a proceeding with the Office of Student Ethics. He missed the Oct. 3, 2015, matchup with Ohio State and returned the next week.

Former professor files suit for unlawful dismissal and lack of due process

By Eman Mozaffar emozaffa@indiana.edu | @emanmozaffar

Matthew Moeller, former assistant professor at IU-Purdue University Indianapolis, filed a suit Feb. 26 against the University system on the basis of violation of civil rights.

Moeller, who was accused of sexual assault by a student, went through an appeals process in which IU president Michael McRobbie decided to terminate Moeller’s contract with the University. Moeller said the Office of

Equal Opportunity and the Faculty Review Board unlawfully dismissed his grievances, and it was detrimental to his reputation.

“I was prohibited from learning the identity of those who raised concerns or any specifics that would allow me to defend myself,” Moeller said in a press release. “I was told by Dr. Kirkland, the Director of the OEO, that telling me ‘the who, what, where, when’ is just never going to happen.”

Universities across the United States, along with the Office of Civil Rights, have been under scrutiny

for their overreaching methods of processing sexual assault cases.

Moeller said he was fired, despite the positive findings from the Faculty Board of Review, and the clear violations of his rights.

According to the Boys and Men in Education database, there are currently 110 existing due process lawsuits against higher education institutions across the U.S. In 2011, the U.S. Department of Education released a statement that changed the way administrators determine whether a defendant is guilty or innocent of

sexual assault.

These methods are independent of the criminal justice system’s sexual misconduct ruling procedures. If administrators feel the probability of a crime’s occurrence sits above 50 percent, they are able to find the party guilty.

Moeller said he was denied fair treatment from the University in this regard, both when he was initially given the information that he was accused of sexual assault and when he filed for his case to be reviewed through the Faculty Grievances Process.

The initial complaint of sexual assault, which said Moeller participated in inappropriate touching behavior, was sent October 2014, and McRobbie administered his final decision to fire him Feb. 3.

In November 2015, an IU Faculty Board of Review looked at Moeller’s case and concluded the University failed to honor his legal rights during the investigation, and the cause for dismissal should be reconsidered. According to a press release, they suggested Moeller SEE MOELLER, PAGE 2

Moeller said in the release he refused to leave on this basis and proceeded to sue for defamation and negligence of his basic rights as an employee and a citizen.

“The process is governed by the Faculty Grievance Process,” Moeller’s lawyer John Mercer said. “Dr. Moeller maintains that the Faculty Grievances procedures were not followed.”

Mercer said the Faculty

Grievances Process allows faculty to be paid until the conclusion of the process.

However, he said Moeller did not receive any payments during this time.

The case is an active legal matter, and therefore the University doesn’t have any comment at this time, IU spokesperson Mark Land said.

Kegan Ferguson, president of College Democrats at IU, speaks on why Donald Trump should not be elected as president Wednesday at Wylie Hall Room 015. College Democrats at IU had Trumpocalypse 2016 event to discuss issues of Donald Trump's presidential campaign.

College Democrats fear Trump

By Erica Gibson ecgibson@indiana.edu | @ericaclare_05

It’s not a joke anymore.

Bee Smale, vice president of the IU College Democrats said they’ve stopped laughing at Donald Trump.

Last semester, the College Democrats put on a Trumpapalooza event to poke fun at Trump’s bid for the White House. This Wednesday, after Trump’s recent primary victories in Michigan and Mississippi, the College Democrats organized the Trumpocalypse.

At Trumpalooza, blindfolded players pinned toupees on Donald Trumps. Attendees ate cookies, watched Saturday Night Live skits mocking Trump and took quizzes attributing quotes to either Trump or a James Bond villain.

At Trumpocalypse, 20 IU students discussed their worst fears about a Trump presidency. They didn’t play games. There were no snacks.

Donald Trump leads the Republican primaries by

99 delegates and is gaining support from Republican establishment members like New Jersey Governor Chris Christie.

“He’s winning primary state after primary state,” Smale said. “We have to take him seriously.”

IU College Democrats President Kegan Ferguson led a PowerPoint presentation on why he believes Donald Trump should not be president.

Ferguson began the presentation by listing several of Trump’s failed business ventures, including Trump University, Trump Vodka, Trump Airlines, Trump water and Trump steaks. Ferguson also said Trump’s real estate business has filed for bankruptcy.

Sophomore Sean Hall, who identifies as conservative and will vote in the Indiana Republican primary in May, said he was surprised

by Trump’s record.

“He’s not as business savvy as he makes himself seem,” Hall said.

Ferguson then asked

students to name the most offensive thing they’ve heard Donald Trump say.

“That’d he’d bring back torture, even if it doesn’t work.”

“How he’s basically been at war with the other candidates.”

“The weird stuff he’s said about wanting to bang his daughter.”

Many of the students at Trumpocalypse said they were concerned with what they perceive as his racist rhetoric.

“Donald Trump rallies are basically becoming white nationalist congregations,” Ferguson said.

He then played a video about a Muslim woman named Rose Hamid evicted from a Donald Trump rally.

Ferguson tied Trump’s rhetoric to violent incidents against Muslims in Indiana, including the recent murder of three Muslim teenagers in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and a death threat received by Rep. Andre Carson (D-IN), one of two Muslim Congresspeople.

“This issue is never going to get better,” Ferguson said. “ I think we’re going to see more and more incidents at his rallies and more and more violence as he continue to legitimize hate in his campaign.”

The PowerPoint concluded with a list of international leaders who have publicly condemned Donald Trump. In addition to Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto, who compared Trump to Hitler, the leaders of the United Kingdom, France, the Netherlands, Israel and Iran have all spoken against Trump.

“You know when Iran and Israel agree on something, it’s a big deal,” Ferguson said.

Attendees of Trumpocalypse 2016 were invited to take pictures with “Never Trump” signs to explain why they would never vote for Donald Trump.

“We want to get as many IU students as possible to say they would never vote for a racist, sexist bigot,” Ferguson said.

Greeks educated on media relations

By Austin Faulds afaulds@indiana.edu | @a_faulds9615

After several years of working as the University spokesman, Mark Land said he understands crises are sometimes unavoidable, especially with a campus of IU’s size.

Greek members were educated Wednesday night on how to use these guiding principles as a way to build a better image and handle organizational problems.

“The odds of someone doing something stupid on campus is relatively high,” Land said.

However, he said understanding what he refers to as guiding principles, which are the values and beliefs of an organization, could lessen further crises.

One primary method of maintaining a better image in the greek community is through a positive social media image, said Christine

Zetzl, the digital marketing manager of tourism website Visit Indy.

Those wishing to have a better image should clean up their social media pages and stray away from negative posts, Zetzl said. She said this can prevent future conflict with employers and media.

While Land said he admits social media allows users to reach a larger audience, he thinks those posting should be careful to represent their organization’s beliefs and values.

“Social media is the greatest threat and the biggest opportunity to telling our stories,” Land said.

This level of professionalism must be maintained when networking, Zetzl said.

“You need to know the difference between who you can text and who you can email,” Zetzl said.

On top of this, Zetzl said she encourages those

attending to be active in making their dreams a reality by networking and communicating.

“You are what you repeatedly do,” Zetzl said.

Along with building a positive image, the discussion also educated on how to handle future greek-related crises.

Establishing a connection with someone in the media is important, said Myra Borshoff, founder of public relations agency Borshoff.

This contact is someone the chapter can trust with information, Borshoff said. She added journalists will understand not all questions can be answered, but would appreciate receiving as much information as possible.

“You may not be able to answer every question, but you should be able to give them some sort of response,” Borshoff said.

Otherwise, Borshoff said, the journalist can get

frustrated and try to seek out the information in other ways.

In response to this, Land said when a crisis occurs, members of organizations should discuss not posting on social media or giving miscommunication to the media or inquiring friends.

“If there’s a crisis, you need to make sure the people in your house know what or what not to say,” Land said.

After the guest speakers finished, the attendees participated in an activity where each table was given a potential crisis situation such as racial hate-speech and harassment.

Sophomore Matt Braschi said he came to the event because he believes it is good to be informed of how to present the positive aspects of greek life.

“We’ve been trying to get involved more, and we think this is a great way with moving forward,” Braschi said.

IU biologist awarded $750,000 national science grant From IDS reports

Erik Ragsdale, an IU biologist, has been awarded a $750,000 research grant from the National Science Foundation.

His research will focus on identifying a genetic mechanism that allows genetically identical species to develop totally different characteristics based on their environment.

This phenomenon is known as polyphenism.

“Despite the potential evolutionary consequences of developmental plasticity, such as polyphenism, we still don’t know much about the genetic mechanisms of the switches controlling it,” Ragsdale said

in an IU press release. “This research project will be a genetic analysis of how polyphenism responds to input from the environment and how its regulation changes over evolutionary time.”

Through his research, Ragsdale will study nematode worms. Similar to how the finches studied by Charles Darwin had beaks specifically suited to different types of seeds and insects, nematode worms have a wide array of mouthparts, perfectly tailored to certain types of food.

“These worms lead virtually every lifestyle known to animals, based upon shapes of their mouths,” Ragsdale said in a press release. “They

can be vegetarians, meateaters, omnivores, bacteriafeeders and parasites.

In nematodes with polyphenism, their feeding structures are a response to specific environments, not totally pre-determined by genes.”

The worm species in the IU study, Pristionchus pacificus, can develop different types of mouths, despite possessing the same genome, based on their environment.

If they live and grow in an environment rich in food and space to grow, P. pacificus will grow a narrow mouth for peaceably grazing upon bacteria.

Likewise, if they live and

grow in an overcrowded or starved environment with limited resources, they will grow a wide mouth with large, moveable teeth, which allows them to consume other worms.

As a postdoctoral researcher at Germany’s Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology in 2013, Ragsdale was part of the team that first discovered the gene that acts as the switch in these worms, according to an IU press release, triggering the “irreversible decision” determining how the worms will feed during their lifespan.

Abdulrahman Kurdi talks about his faith at the Speed-Faithing event on Wednesday evening at the Indiana Memorial Union Dogwood Room. This event was sponsored by Indian Student Association and Muslim Student Association.

Speed-Faithing events prompts religious talks

By Emily Abshire eabshire@indiana.edu | @emily_abs

On the 8-minute “dates,” participants of Speed-Faithing attempted to answer religions’ major questions.

Believers from a variety of religions sat in assigned groups in the Indiana Memorial Union’s Dogwood Room Wednesday night and discussed questions posed by the cultural and religious organizations sponsoring the event.

“Interfaith events give people a chance to speak with and learn from individuals of other faiths, something that is harder to do in other scenarios,” event creator and sophomore Aatif Basher said.

“This is an event where everyone comes for the same reason, making it easier for individuals to ask questions.”

In the first round, a woman studying in a Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) seminary asked about the basic tenants of each religion.

A Roman Catholic man explained the differences in Catholic and Protestant traditions and scriptures.

Lutheran junior Lauren Krull added her opposing perspective on the distinctions.

Abdulrahman Kurdi, a Muslim master’s student, talked about the portrayal of God in Islam.

Krull said she was intrigued by comparisons between Islam and Christianity, specifically relating to sin and forgiveness.

She said the event was overall informational because the structure let people share their personal perspectives instead of a leader speaking about generalities of a religion.

“I hope that participants

will learn something about a faith that is different from their own and something interesting about practices that are different from their own,” Basher said. “I hope that they will gain a deeper understanding of others around them.”

Kurdi said he gained a new perspective of not only other religions but also his own.

“God is not an easy thing to understand,” Kurdi said.

“It’s not easy for the limited human mind to grasp or experience that concept.”

This was the first year for Speed-Faithing, but Basher said there have been other interfaith events in the past, most recently last November. Basher said this new event allowed participants to interact with more people, ideas and faiths with the new structure.

The event was organized

by Indian Student Alliance, Chi Delta Phi, Muslim Student Association, Bhakti Yoga Society, Lutheran Campus Ministries and UKirk Ministries.

Basher is religious chair for the Muslim Student Association. He said he wanted people to know Islam is a religion of peace and to counter the perception created by small groups of violent radicals.

When people don’t understand other religions, they make assumptions based on stereotypes and judge others, Kurdi said.

Those judgments can lead to fear of people and faiths.

Kurdi said attending interfaith events such as this helps to educate people and stop negative stereotypes from spreading.

“We hope that through events such as this, it will take our large IU community and make it a little bit smaller and help unite us, despite differences that we may face,” Basher said.

Local artist works on non-profit decorations

By Anne Halliwell ahalliwe@indiana.edu @Anne_Halliwell

On Gail Hale’s workshop table lay strips of white, lavender, teal, aqua and periwinkle, hand-sewn back together.

The sheer fabric was discarded after a sorority dance, Hale said. She was patching it up to use as backing for the waterthemed Trashion ReFashion show at the Buskirk Chumley Theater, an April 10 event that will showcase designs made from recycled materials.

Hale, a textiles artist, reuses fabrics and fabric-like materials in virtually all of her projects.

“I’m not a seamstress, you know,” Hale said. “I’m an artist. It’s not that I know everything about fabrics or sewing. I just try to be creative with solutions.”

Hale is a member of Discardia, an artistic non-profit that collects materials that drape and can be sewn for reuse, and holds monthly sewing days where community members can come use sewing machines to repair their own clothes or ask an artist for help.

As a former committee member for Trashion ReFashion, she has helped organize and decorate the stage every year.

Recently, Hale helped create a sustainable decoration collection designed for long-term use by Bloomington nonprofits.

The nylon organza streamers, edged with ribbons in orange, purple, green and blue, can be reused in different color combinations for years, Hale said.

The entire collection is currently rolled into several flexible, dollar-store laundry baskets under Hale’s workroom table.

The streamers are made from nylon organza, a stiff, sheer fabric that is transparent enough to create different shades and color effects

when the fabrics are laid against one another.

“We made them so you could keep using them in different orientations,” Hale said. “And then you’ll see the colors flowing and floating.”

Keith Romaine, another textile artist who teaches at Ivy Tech, originally used the white fabric to decorate Blueline Media’s Bliss Christmas event.

Romaine dyed some the organza orange and used it again for a Pride event, then dyed more for Pride Summerfest and the Pride Film Festival in January of this year.

He approached Hale about decorating for the Hoosier Hills Soup Bowl Benefit, which was held Feb. 21.

“One of Gail’s things is always to have decorations, backdrops, fabric that can be used in multiple areas,” Romaine said. “And it’s mine too. I like to reuse things as well.”

The formerly-white organza strips were dyed two different citrusy oranges, deep purple and grassgreen for the Pride events.

“The bigger an impact you can have with color, the more you change a space,” Romaine said. “So our goal is to have as much impact as possible, as compact as possible and to be reusable in multiple spaces.”

Thanks to a $500 donation from her doctor, Mary Mayhern, who merely specified that Hale “find a good cause,” Hale bought several new colors for the Hoosier Hills Food Bank fundraiser.

Hale had already wanted to create decorations the Soup Bowl could reuse from year to year.

“I thought we could do a lot of colors and have a lot of different options,” she said.

Hale said she supplemented the strips with other organza in fuchsia, teal and lavender from Gifts International Inc., a site that normally sells lengths of fabrics for wedding decoration.

Gail Hale shows a recycled fabric, picked up at a sorority house Tuesday at her house. Hale has been using recycled materials to create art objects ever since she was young. She helped design a background stage at TedXBloomington by using recycled materials in 2012. She plans to use it for upcoming the Trashion and Refashion event.

Though the list price for most of the colors on the website are $35 per bolt, Hale said, she got the new colors for significantly less — only $9.50 for 25 yards.

“Because it was 38 cents a yard, that gave us enough money to get enough fabric that we could fill the convention center very reasonably,” she said.

Hale and Romaine attached lengths of ribbon to each piece of fabric so they could be tied to poles or other fixtures.

As the Bloomington Monroe County Convention Center where the Soup Bowl is held has steel i-beams, Hale used magnets to hang the colorful streamers from the ceiling.

Hale said a person could also use magnets to bunch or twist the fabric and fix it

in a given shape, as organza doesn’t drape as readily as other fabrics.

“It’s flexible,” Hale said.

“It’s kind of like using the nature of the fabric to its best advantage.”

Romaine said another benefit to the fabrics is knowing what they have to work with before event planning really begins.

“When we make something, we have it around and can plan new ways to use it,” Romaine said. “But when we work with new materials, we don’t know what we’re getting.”

Hale and Romaine hold the decorations now, though Romaine said they’re open to other nonprofits using the materials for events.

“It seems foolish and wasteful to use them only once,” he said.

Sanders fans won’t vote for Clinton

By Annie Garau agarau@umail.iu.edu | @agarau6

Eating biz fries in an empty room at Nick’s English Hut, three women clad in Bernie Sanders apparel make it clear that being a Sanders supporter — a true, full-blooded, Bern-feeling supporter — is about much more than checking a box on a ballot.

The media and the establishment politicians have scoffed. They’ve called him unelectable and called his policies unpassable. Hillary has the funding, the experience, the endorsements and the women. And if she wins the primaries, many have assumed she’ll have the Sanders supporters too.

Not necessarily, these women say as they wait for Wednesday’s Democratic debate to begin.

“I don’t care what happens,” said Ruth Simcox, one of the many Sanders supporters and also whom has never been involved with a political

cause until this campaign. “I will not vote for her.”

The women said they don’t like how she takes money from Wall Street and the banks and they don’t like that she copies Sanders’ policies.

They also said they dislike that she hasn’t called for a ban on fracking or that she hasn’t specified what she plans to do with trade deals.

Even if Clinton does win the nomination, these women predict she’ll only get half of Sanders’ supporters. They plan on voting for Green Party candidate Jill Stein or not voting at all.

“Voting for her would, in a way, go against everything we’ve fought for,” said Jessica Martlage, the administrator of the Indiana for Bernie Sanders group.

They know that could mean giving Trump the presidency. If that day should come, they said they might start packing.

“I’m about to get a passport and move to a democrat-

ic, socialist nation,” Martlage said, adding that she’d start a GoFundMe to get her over the border and out.

“Canada’s not looking too bad,” Simcox said.

Up until two months ago, these two women were strangers. Now, Martlage says, she considers Simcox to be one of her closest friends.

“This campaign isn’t about Bernie Sanders,” Martlage said. “It’s about our friends, our family, our neighbors, all of us fighting for our rights.

And that bond runs deep.”

Those bonds would carry on even if Sanders doesn’t get the presidency, Simcox said.

His supporters would continue to fight to change the system and take down the Democratic National Committee.

But that won’t be necessary, Simcox said.

“Because it hasn’t been publicized, a lot of people don’t know how strong Bernie people are,” she said. “He’s gonna win. I’m gonna tell you, he’s gonna win.”

Police arrest 3 men for theft from cars From IDS Reports

Police chased down and arrested three men for breaking into cars 2 a.m. Wednesday on East 19th Street.

Bloomington resident Jordan Breedlove, 18, faces charges of theft, resisting law enforcement, unauthorized entry into a vehicle and possession of marijuana. Servonte Gilkie, 18, was arrested on charges of theft, resisting law enforcement, unauthorized entry into a vehicle and possession or consumption of alcohol as a minor.

Breedlove and Gilkie are both being held at the Monroe County Jail, Breedlove in lieu of $2,500 bail and Gilkie in lieu

of $1,500.

A 16-year-old in the group also faces charges of resisting law enforcement and was released with a juvenile referral, Bloomington Police Department Capt. Steve Kellams said.

BPD responded to a 2 a.m. phone call in reference to three men who were looking into cars on the 200 block of East 19th Street and possibly breaking into them.

When the first officer arrived, the men began running away. The Indiana University Police Department provided reinforcement, helping BPD officers set up a perimeter to apprehend the men. It took about a half hour to chase

them down, Kellams said.

The men admitted to breaking into three cars, Kellams said. They stole mostly change from the cars, as well as a jacket.

Kellams said police knew of the men from previous incidents and thefts. Breedlove is already facing misdemeanor charges of theft and unauthorized entry of a motor vehicle in a separate pending case from December, according to court documents.

Thefts from vehicles are a constant concern for BPD, Kellams said, and a great deal of these thefts could be prevented if people locked their doors.

In 2015, more than 45 per-

cent of thefts from vehicles took place in cars that were either open or unlocked, Kellams said. Additionally, about 29 percent of reported burglaries occurred in unlocked homes.

“Especially with spring break coming up, people need to remember to lock up their houses and cars,” Kellams said.

Despite the higher temperatures, Kellams discourages residents from keeping their windows open for extended periods of time.

“It becomes an open invitation for thieves,” iKellams said.

STEVE’S CONSERVATIVE CORNER

Thoughts on CPAC

ILLUSTRATION BY EMILY TATUM | IDS

Prosecution and protection WE SAY: Russia should protect the members of all religious groups, not only Christians If you’ve ever heard of the punk-art group Pussy Riot, then you may already know about Russia’s controversial law that prohibits anyone from “offending the sentiments of Orthodox believers.”

The law was implemented in 2013 after three members of Pussy Riot were convicted of offending Orthodox believers during a performance at the Orthodox Church in Moscow.

Now Viktor Krasnov, who is from Southern Russia, faces a one-year prison sentence for the same crime because he wrote, “there is no God” during an online conversation on a humorous website.

Considering Russia’s constitution has a section about religious freedom, the Editorial Board thinks Russia needs to protect the feelings of all religions, not just Orthodox Christians.

The Editorial Board understands the value Russia

places on the feelings of Orthodox Christians.

We simply think Russia needs to take the next step and extend that value to the feelings of all religious groups. Russia should probably start with protecting the feelings of atheists.

Krasnov was charged with this religious crime after one of the people Krasnov was speaking to online accused him of “offending the sentiments of Orthodox believers.”

As if being accused of the crime and facing prison time weren’t enough, Krasnov had to spend a month in a psychiatric facility after making his atheist comment online.

Krasnov was released after he was pronounced sane.

It is safe to say that Orthodox Christians were persecuted for their religion during the Soviet regime. It’s also understandable for Orthodox Christians to be sensitive about what others say about

their religion.

That being said, it definitely is not okay for the Russian government to legally protect the feelings of Orthodox believers and not the feelings of other religions.

Although Russia has no state religion, the dominant religion is the Russian Orthodox Church, which is a branch of Christianity.

As of 2008, 72 percent of Russia’s population reported as Orthodox Christian according to the Pew Research Center.

While Orthodox Christian is currently the dominant religion, it is important to note Russia’s tumultuous religious history to fully understand why Orthodox Christians get special treatment from the government.

Orthodox Christianity was dominant in Russia for centuries until the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution and state propagation of atheism.

From 1917 until the dissolution of the USSR in 1991, the Russian state imprisoned many Orthodox priests, demolished or converted churches into government buildings and essentially blacklisted people from obtaining prominent jobs for professing non-atheist religious sentiments.

Once the USSR was dissolved and Russia became the Russian Federation in 1991, the Orthodox Church was rebuilt, and the number of Orthodox Christian believers rose significantly.

After all, there is no state religion in Russia, and the freedom of religion is in their Constitution.

There is also no indication that Krasnov was trying to offend Orthodox Christians specifically.

If anything, Krasnov’s “there’s no God” comment offends all religious beliefs other than atheism.

CRAZY IS MAJORITY RULES

On the decline of American idealism A recent column that appeared in the New York Times suggests that “American idealism” is failing.

The article cited examples from this season’s presidential candidates and a few dismal facts and figures about the general state of our country in support of its claim.

“We are witnessing the dissolution of an idea that was once America,” columnist Charles M. Blow said.

The way it is described in the article, these ideals are crucial to the survival of our society, the “center” around which our culture revolves.

The writer believes that, if our ideals disintegrate, there will be no more façade to provide our country with the necessary drive to maintain its perceived position of power.

I agree things in our country could be a lot better.

I disagree in that I think if this were true, and so-called “American idealism” really were on the decline, it could conceivably be a good thing.

We want to take pride in our country, but sometimes idealism isn’t of practical use.

High ideals can lead to disappointment, and in some extreme cases, despair.

It’s true that having a definitive set of ideals can help people in many cases, and often when people abandon their ideals like this they become rather dispirited.

If we’re wise about it, though, we’ll interpret it instead as an opportunity to form a more realistic view of our country that would allow us to take less emotionallycharged approaches to decisions in the government, such as elections.

We’d recognize no single presidential candidate realis-

tically represents the doom or salvation of our country.

As a result, we’d be able to weigh our options more carefully instead of throwing all of our ideological weight behind a single candidate based on pathos-laden appeals to the ideals we hold valuable.

Instead of becoming disillusioned as a result of our country’s deficits, we would be able to make peace with the fact that they exist and attempt to fix what we can.

We would also retain realistic ideas as to our limited ability to create the “America” represented by lofty ideals.

Not to mention even if we ventured away from these ideals more than one might consider healthy, it would leave us with a clearer mind to contemplate other ideals, ones that don’t receive as much attention from typical American culture.

JACOB WORRELL is a freshman in neuroscience.

If “the idea that once was America” does indeed dissolve, we might be better able to assimilate new ideas into it.

This might lead us to a more idealized America.

Since it emerged from this break in idealism, it may allow us to maintain healthy emotional distance from and rationality to public affairs.

The essential point really becomes that the end of our characteristically “American” ideals in no way implies the decline of our society.

It simply reflects a transition into a new, possibly ideologically healthier, time period. jcworrel@indiana.edu

Last weekend, I attended a Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C. CPAC was one of the best political experiences I’ve had, and I had the wonderful opportunity to meet and network with other conservatives from around the country, but also met some of my favorite personalities from the world of conservative politics.

There were several fascinating speakers, from experts, journalists, congressmen and senators to presidential candidates.

Because of the election year, the presidential candidates naturally took center stage.

One thing I will say is that for a political junkie like me, watching the candidates speak was an incredible experience.

Of the remaining Republican candidates, I was most impressed with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’s address.

His speech was dynamic.

He was eloquent in his address, and as an audience member, I genuinely felt like Cruz understood the problems that faced the country in the coming cycle.

He clearly outlined his policies, and he had the crowd on its feet for several different points that he made.

I was also impressed with Florida Sen. Marco Rubio.

In comparison to Cruz, Rubio’s address was more personal.

Rubio addressed issues that the millennial generation wanted to hear about.

At the convention, the Millennials I’d spoken with almost universally supported Rubio.

This showed during his address.

The room was packed to the brim with standing room only. During the speech, the crowd was electric.

Rubio commented on how he felt that Donald Trump was doing so well because the media continuously directs attention to him. He called for it to end.

STEVEN ARANYI is a junior in history.

I was amused with Ohio Gov. John Kasich as well.

Kasich’s speech wasn’t as dynamic as Cruz’s or Rubio’s, but Kasich was quick to point to his proven conservative track record and his history of gaining results using conservative policy, even when the odds were stacked against him.

At the end of the day, though, Kasich’s address wasn’t engaging enough in my opinion, but he did make some good points throughout.

Dr. Ben Carson’s dropped out of the presidential race during his address.

I thought it was really neat to experience this in person.

Trump, who is not a conservative, was scheduled to speak.

However, Trump canceled his speech at the last moment because there was a protest planned during his speech.

The straw poll taken during the convention was won

by Sen. Ted Cruz, unsurprisingly, with a total of 40 percent of the vote.

Rubio took second with 30 percent of the vote.

Trump only received 15 percent.

I also had the pleasure to meet conservative media personalities, such as Mark Levin, Michelle Malkin and Guy Benson.

Thousands of students from around the country flocked to CPAC as well, and I made some valuable connections that may have ended up helping me down the road.

I encourage any person who has conservative principles to attend CPAC in the future, especially young conservatives.

It was a wonderful experience for me, and I plan to attend for years to come. staranyi@indiana.edu

MAGGIE, SHE WROTE

A tax with a target Menstruation: it’s an uncomfortable, messy and expensive time of the month for women.

Periods are an inevitable part of a woman’s life.

For the majority of women, they come every 28 days, and every 28 days they must shell out six or seven dollars plus tax to control them.

Since other medical products like treatments for yeast infections or erectile dysfunction are exempt from sales tax, feminine hygiene products should be exempt as well.

According to NPR, sales tax can “add an upwards of 66 cents per box” of tampons or pads, depending on the state where they are sold.

The Food and Drug Administration even considers tampons and pads to be medical appliances.

So why, then, should women be expected to pay an added sum for their tampons?

According to many opponents of the tax elimination, feminine hygiene products are an unnecessary extravagance.

You know, because women buy tampons just to treat themselves.

These products are just as necessary for women as Viagra is for some men — except that a much larger amount of women are afflicted with a menstrual cycle than men are with erectile dysfunction.

Without these products, women would be subjected to more discomfort than they already are.

In addition, they may have to spend even more money to replace undergarments or clothing items that are ruined in the fray of a period.

NPR reports that ten

MAGGIE EICKHOFF is a sophomore in international studies.

states in total have removed sales tax from tampons, pads and liners.

Five of these states do not tax them just because they do not have sales tax on anything.

Representative Melissa Sargent from Wisconsin seeks to make her state the 11th.

However, she is being faced with a lot of push back from legislators who favor the ideology that the products are luxuries.

The obstruction of her bill, which would remove sales tax for feminine hygiene products, likely stems from deep-rooted menstrual shame and gender inequality.

People, let alone lawmakers, don’t want to talk about periods.

They’re gross, right?

Passing a bill would require them to have a deeper discussion about a lady bleeding.

Women don’t even want to talk about their periods. If we continue to treat tampons and pads as unnecessary by not taxing them it makes periods seem much less natural and more shameful.

No other sales tax directly targets a gender like this one.

These are products only women need therefore only women are affected.

Legislators need to realize feminine hygiene products are just as necessary as other medical supplies that go untaxed. meickhof@indiana.edu @maggie_eickhoff

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Morgan has a separated shoulder, ball skills

By Michael Hughes michhugh@indiana.edu @MichaelHughes94

NOBLE GUYON | IDS

Freshman forward Juwan Morgan goes up to the basket to attempt a layup Feb. 17 at Assembly Hall. In IU’s last game against Maryland, Morgan played point guard for a few possessions.

At IU’s last game of the regular season, Maryland point guard Melo Trimble was guarding freshman forward Juwan Morgan.

This didn’t come after a switch. Trimble was supposed to be guarding Morgan. This was strange to most people in Assembly Hall because it looked like the Hoosiers had five forwards on the court.

IU Coach Tom Crean saw things differently.

“We did have a guard — Juwan.” Crean said. “We play him at the point in practice about five to eight, maybe 10 minutes a day. We’ve been preparing.”

With IU’s injuries at the guard position, the Hoosiers have needed to get creative about how to manage the times when senior guard Yogi Ferrell needs a rest.

Sophomore guards James Blackmon Jr. and Robert Johnson are injured. Blackmon Jr. is out for the year and Johnson’s status for IU’s opening game of the Big Ten Tournament is still undetermined.

This means Crean has been working on turning Morgan into a consistent ball handler who can run the offense. He’s done the same with freshman guard Harrison

Niego, and junior forwards Troy Williams and Collin Hartman.

“Juwan wasn’t handling the ball by accident,” Crean said. “That’s what we do in practice. Harrison can, Troy can easily do that. Collin can do that. But we’ve been planning that the last couple of weeks. Especially with Rob’s injury, we’d have to have more ball handling and use those the lineups.”

But Morgan’s status is also undetermined for Friday’s game. He dislocated his shoulder in IU’s win against Iowa on March 1 and re-injured the shoulder against Maryland.

Crean said the injury against Iowa was due to contact. He collided with a player and his shoulder popped out.

Against Maryland, Crean said, his shoulder wasn’t forced out by contact, meaning Morgan’s shoulder popped out on its own.

But Morgan isn’t likely to sit out. He didn’t miss a game after the first time his shoulder popped out, and he hasn’t missed any practice since it popped out the second time.

“Juwan is better even though I’m being extra cautious with him,” Crean said. “At the same time, he’s basically doing everything that we’re doing right now, so we fully expect that not to change.”

This is expected, Crean

said, because of the kind of person Morgan is. That’s why the Hoosiers have so much respect for the freshman.

Something else that was expected, Williams said, was Morgan playing well when he was inserted at point guard.

“He’s just now coming out, but we’ve been working on it,” Williams said. “It’s not anything new or nothing that we just came up with on the spot. We’ve been putting him in those situations.”

Williams also said the Hoosiers, not just Morgan, practice without positions. Instead, they work on spots. Any situation or spot on the floor a Hoosier might find himself in, he’s prepared to do whatever’s necessary.

That’s how it’s been all season. So when alternative sources for ball handling became necessary the Hoosiers were prepared.

Now, if Johnson is able to return for the Big Ten Tournament, or if he waits until the NCAA Tournament, the Hoosiers have another proven player who can run the offense.

“It definitely adds versatility to us,” Williams said. “It shows that we can have more than just one, two, maybe three ball handlers. It shows we have another person who can make reads or decisions on the fly.”

IU nearly no-hit at Kentucky in 17th straight road game

By Jake Thomer jjthomer@indiana.edu @jake_the_thomer

IU traveled to play No. 17 Kentucky on Wednesday confident and riding a hot streak, but lost 3-1.

IU’s offense struggled against Kentucky left-handed pitcher Meagan Prince, who entered the game with a 1.97 ERA and a spotless 8-0 record and came two outs away from a perfect game.

Prince entered the final frame having retired the first 18 batters, but senior Kassi Farmer and senior Kelsey Dotson put a pair of hits

together and got a run on the board for the Hoosiers.

Prince ended the game with 6.2 innings pitched to go along with a single run and two hits.

Freshman pitcher Tara Trainer matched Prince’s scoreless frames throughout the first four innings for IU, but flirted with danger several times early on.

Ultimately, she gave way to fellow freshman Josie Wood to start the sixth inning after allowing three runs on five walks and five hits.

“I thought our pitching did a good job keeping us in a good position,” IU Coach

Michelle Gardner said.

“Tara worked her way out of a few tough spots but we just couldn’t get it going offensively.”

Trainer, who fell to 5-6 on the year after the loss, allowed a solo home run to the leadoff batter in the fifth inning to break the scoreless tie.

But after a pair of singles, a walk, a sacrifice fly and some clever base running by the Wildcats, the Hoosiers found themselves down 3-0.

With the tough loss, the Hoosiers completed a stretch of 19 games in a row away from home to begin

Hoosiers set to compete in Zones Diving Championships From IDS reports

Four Hoosiers will have a chance to qualify for the NCAA Championships, depending on how they perform at the Zone C Diving Championships beginning today in West Lafayette, Indiana.

For the women, senior Lacey Houser and junior Michal Bower are looking to make a return trip to the NCAA Championships.

For the men, both junior Joshua Arndt and sophomore Cody Caldren are trying to qualify for the NCAA Championships for the first time.

There are six total events,

three each for the men and women, that will take place during the three-day competition.

Today will feature the 1-meter dive for the women and the 3-meter dive for the men. Tomorrow will feature the 1-meter dive for the men and the 3-meter dive for the women, and Saturday will feature the platform dive for both the men and women.

The qualifying standards are different for each event.

For the men, a diver can automatically qualify for the NCAA Championships if he finishes in the top seven of the 1-meter dive, the top nine of the 3-me-

ter dive or the top eight of the platform dive.

For the women, a diver can automatically qualify if she finishes in the top 12 of the 1-meter dive, the top seven of the 3-meter dive or the top 10 of the platform dive.

If a diver automatically qualifies in any event, he or she also qualifies for the NCAA Championships for every other event as long as he or she finishes in the top two and post a zone-qualifying score prior to the NCAA Championships from March 16-19 in Atlanta.

The offense seems to have suffered the most from being on the road, as Indiana has only scored more than five runs on three occasions this year.

“We’ll need to quickly move on because we play again in a few days,” Gardner said. “We’re looking forward to being at home and playing in front of our crowd.”

Up next for IU is its own 2016 Indiana Classic, from March 12-14.

The tournament will feature the Evansville, Ohio and Drake.

The following weekend,

the Hoosiers will welcome three more teams to Bloomington for the 2016 Hoosier Classic.

That tournament will be followed by three consecutive home series to begin Big Ten play.

Last weekend in Auburn, Alabama, junior CaraMia Tsirigos said the team was excited to start playing home games.

“We’ve got five weeks at home now, and that changes everything,” Tsirigos said.

ONE NATION. UNDERWOOD. WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.

Season four of ‘House of Cards’ starts off strong ‘HOUSE OF CARDS’ Kevin Spacey, Robin Wright

A“House of Cards” has always been good with beginnings.

Protagonist Frank Underwood’s first monologue expertly defined his character.

The second season premiere was one of the most memorable starts to a television season I have ever seen.

The season four premiere is a fast-paced and well-acted return to this world of political intrigue and darkness. Claire Underwood, Frank’s wife, has left him and is considering

a run for Congress. Frank is trying to get re-elected as the President of the United States, but the release of an old enemy from jail promises to complicate his efforts.

The characters in “House of Cards” are far from moral, but they are interesting. They’re intelligent, quick-witted people who are good at political maneuvering. It’s always a pleasure to see them wheel and deal.

That’s why one of my favorite scenes takes place between Claire and Congresswoman Doris Jones, played by Cicely Tyson. Tyson’s a natural for the blunt yet layered dialogue written by “House of Cards” SEE CARDS, PAGE 9

f all the world’s a stage, then Washington, D.C. is the mighty Globe Theatre itself.

Need proof? Just turn on the TV and flip to any news broadcast. Reality stars, family disappointments and absurd Zodiac killer connections are just a few headlines that stem from what Rolling Stone affectionately calls the “GOP clown car.”

Not to romanticize the left either. The reincarnation of Eugene V. Debs and a representative of Wall Street are certainly shocking choices

for candidates, as well.

None of this is new, either.

Washington, D.C. has had a devilishly affectionate history with melodrama. Don’t forget fiends like Richard Nixon, Andrew Jackson and Harry S. Truman have served time in office.

This sort of political lunacy has been best represented in the popular Netflix original series “House of Cards,” which has recently released its fourth season for streaming.

Joseph Bernard works at his workbench. Bernard is an experimental filmmaker and is giving a lecture at the IU Cinema, which will be followed by a screening of his short films.

Filmmaker to present series

By TJ Jaeger tjaeger@indiana.edu | @TJ_Jaeger

Because he often doesn’t plan his films, Joseph Bernard said he begins making an experimental film by simply looking through the camera’s viewfinder until he finds something he likes.

Bernard, a Detroit-based filmmaker, painter and photographer, is presenting his film series “Prismatic Music: The Short Films of Joseph Bernard (1978-85)” on Friday at the IU Cinema.

After decades of work, Bernard said he recently began digitizing and archiving his films.

“My films have been sitting in the basement for 40 years, and that’s not good,” he said.

“Prismatic Music” is a collection of 12 experimental short films by Bernard, each ranging from two to 16 minutes long.

Because all the films are silent, Bernard said the title “Prismatic Music” is ironic.

“And yet, if they have any strands, it’s in that they are prismatically charged,” he said. “They’re not narrative films. They’re things that have to do with light and color and movement.”

The 90-minute program is a longer timeslot than he’s used to, he said.

Bernard said the films are dense in content, which leaves for a lot to take in.

Bernard spent 35 years teaching at Detroit’s College for Creative Studies.

Throughout his career, he said he launched several film courses and became close with many students.

“The idea of trying to repay what’s been given to me is part of what teaching is all about: trying to save people some time, primarily, trying to help them not make the same mistakes I did,” he said.

Bernard said he advocated teaching independent, non-narrative film because he didn’t want his students to compare their work to

multi-million dollar Hollywood films.

During his time teaching, Bernard said one of his students Jeffery Plansker, encouraged him to digitize his films.

As a result, Bernard said he and Plansker flew out to Los Angeles to digitize 40 out of more than 100 films through the company Cinelicious Hollywood.

While in Los Angeles, Bernard said he met members of the Motion Picture Association of America, who offered to house his films in their vault for safekeeping and study.

Even though he still loves the aesthetic of physical film, he said he has quickly become a fan of the digital medium.

“I don’t have to worry about putting them on a projector and have the projector eat the film,” he said.

“It’s so convenient to drop a disc in a Blu-ray player.

The ease, it means so much to me. It takes away all the

Noise rock band to perform

WAXEATER’s album art, tour van and frontman’s forearm tattoo have something in common — Anne Frank.

Lead singer and guitarist Rob Montage founded his noise rock band in Bloomington over a decade ago and traveled in a tour van called “Vanne Frank.” The band and van will return to Bloomington on Thursday to play a show at the Back Door.

Montage is currently on his third “Vanne Frank,” he said. He also used the name for the first WAXEATER van, back when he had a different rhythm section.

“I think that’s funny enough to repeat over and over again,” he said.

WAXEATER has comprised the same three members for the past six years, Montage said. After living 13 years in Bloomington, he moved to Louisville, Kentucky, where drummer Aaron Sortman and bassist Elliot Turton both lived.

He said the move was partly caused by feelings that he had outgrown Bloomington’s college-aged crowd, but that Louisville also offered an audience for WAXEATER’s music.

“Louisville has a long history of sort of noisy rock,” he said.

While Montage now plays more bars than house shows, he said he doesn’t mind the shift, since WAXEATER never really fit in with Bloomington’s folk punk scene.

“I don’t think what we

did was their style,” he said.

“We were always friendly.

We would play some of those shows, but we were not the kind of music they were seeking out and vice versa.”

Even in Louisville, Montage said his brand of music is lost on most people.

“We’re just making weirdo music,” he said. “There’s a niche 300 people in the United States that are really into it.”

He said he and his bandmates never sought out fame or crossover appeal.

“I know damn well the music that we’re making is not for everybody,” he said.

Playing music is really just a hobby for the trio, he said. They’re all in their thirties with families and full-time jobs to schedule around.

While these other commitments often mean WAXEATER can’t tour for more than two or three days, Montage said he’s satisfied with the lifestyle.

“This is not us trying to be Coldplay or something,” he said. “It’s something we do because we care about it,

UNIONS WITH MAPLE STEVE AND WAXEATER 9 p.m. Thursday, the Back Door and it turns into a vacation for us.”

Right now, the band is trying to find time to record two songs for a seven-inch vinyl release, he said.

Both tracks comment on popular misconceptions of WAXEATER, he said. People see the tattoos, hear the noisy guitars and assume these guys were born and bred punk musicians.

“We’re like the least punk rock people in the world,” Montage said. “I drive a Prius and teach English.”

As far as Thursday’s show goes, he said he’s excited to reconnect with old friends and show off WAXEATER’s development.

“WAXEATER hasn’t played in Bloomington since I moved away almost two years ago, so I think it’ll just be nice to come back and let people see how we’ve changed and grown a little bit,” he said.

Although he has received little encouragement throughout his career, Bernard said the kindness of students like Plansker give him hope to keep creating art.

Bernard said anybody can make films if they are passionate about it.

“You have to figure out what makes your heart beat a little fast,” he said. “What are you attracted to? What means something to you?”

Likewise, he said being genuine has helped him succeed as an artist.

“Whether you’re a filmmaker a painter, a sculptor, a dancer, it should be personal,” he said. “It should be almost embarrassingly personal. Let that be what pulls you.”

and no people showed up.”

One thing led to another.

They met several more times and were soon married, Krupoves said. Berg, a renowned doctor in Bloomington, Bedford and Batesville, died in January 2015. He founded Promptcare Physicians Clinic in 1984, which is now IU Health Urgent Care Center.

“It was a big love,” Krupoves said. “Especially during the last years of his life, everyone could tell that my husband looked like a happy man.”

Krupoves has arranged a memorial concert, “I Love You More Than Much,” for her late husband at 7 p.m. tonight at the Ivy Tech John Waldron Arts Center Auditorium. Joining her onstage will be Shaun Williams on the cimbalum, Tomas Lozano on guitar and hurdy gurdy, Svetla Vladeva on the bayan accordion and Diederick van Wassenaer on the violin.

The concert consists of Jewish music mixed with songs from other European countries. Hebrew prayers, Yiddish songs from Eastern Europe and Spanish ballads are all on the program.

“It creates a very special kind of beauty when two different cultures or faiths meet and become transparent to each other,” Krupoves said.

“It shows what is common to all the people, but it also shows the uniqueness of every culture and the ability to create a new beauty.”

Krupoves said Berg enjoyed this kind of music and always supported Krupoves in her musical career. His family and friends would make jokes about how whenever Krupoves would sing, Berg would hush ev-

eryone in the room and sit in rapt attention.

“Most of the songs are about heavenly love meeting with earthly love in the most profound and beautiful sense,” Krupoves said.

Berg was a doctor who cared deeply for his patients, Krupoves said. He knew each of his patients by name and even knew their pets by name. He treated everyone with respect and often would treat patients free of charge.

Krupoves said she admired Berg for being like a noble knight, even when he was tired or not in a good mood. He was ready at all times of the day or night for the call to help people.

Vladeva said she first met Berg at a party, and she was telling him about her daughter’s medical problems, that caused them to travel to the hospital every week for treatment, when he touched her heart with a kind gesture.

“I was sharing that anxiety that I had in my life at the time, and Daniel gave me his phone number and said, ‘You call me, even if it’s in the middle of the night.’” Vladeva said. “That was the first time we met, so it just brought me to tears. What a wonderful man.”

His patients would always remember Berg, Krupoves said. After Berg’s death, a group of patients Berg had treated sent Krupoves a card calling him “amigo con todos,” or the friend of everyone.

Krupoves said she hopes everyone who knew Daniel, especially his former patients, will come to the concert.

“I’m expecting people to remember the goodness of someone who’s not here, to see the fruits of good deeds and to celebrate love,” Krupoves said.

The filmmaking in this episode is a reminder that the craftsmanship of “House of Cards” is still excellent.

The yellow lighting is a great leftover from when David Fincher was directing episodes.

A Fox News broadcast is used to comment on the episode’s action in the way minor characters did in Shakespeare’s plays.

Though based in fiction, the plotlines of “House of Cards” don’t deviate too far from the events occurring every day in the American Rome.

In fact, like the United States capital, the TV show has roots dating all the way back to the works of William Shakespeare. “Richard III,” “Julius Caesar,” “Othello” and “Macbeth” make up the primary influences of the show.

We also cannot deny their distinct parallels with political figures of past and present.

Let’s look at Frank Underwood, played by Kevin Spacey. This bloodthirsty, power-hungry tyrant no doubt takes his influence from likable Shakespeare villains like Richard III, Macbeth and Iago.

All three of these characters, like Frank, consistently break the fourth wall by talking to the audience in soliloquies. Just like the villains’, his are also cryptic, nihilistic and threatening to characters surround him.

Much like Macbeth and Richard III, Frank only desires one thing: power.

He mentions this often throughout the show, as well as how he loathes and distrusts those who do not share the same passion.

Most of all, Frank is a cinematic embodiment of former president and fellow majority whip Lyndon B. Johnson.

I would call Frank a caricature of Johnson, but if even half the rumors surrounding Johnson are true, then Frank is the PG version.

Last month, a series of tapes released revealed former first lady Jackie Kennedy believed the assassination of John F. Kennedy was orchestrated by Johnson.

He is also possibly connected with at least 17 murders committed to cover up corruption, bribery and voter fraud.

This allegedly violent connection with Kennedy only makes the comparison between the assassinated president and Garrett Walker, played by Michel Gill, who served as president for the first two seasons.

Garrett is the type of Boy Scout president who you expect only wants to do what is best for his country and will take the flak whenever something goes wrong.

His naivety, like Kennedy’s, ultimately leads to his downfall. While Garrett isn’t killed, his career is tarnished when he’s framed and impeached.

Such boyish ignorance could compare him to similar sympathetic fools, like King Duncan in “Macbeth” and the titular character in “Othello.”

Claire Underwood, played

by Robin Wright, as first lady and wife to Frank, is truly one of the most complex and impressive female TV characters in the past decade.

Her only real competition is Skyler White in “Breaking Bad” and Daenerys Targayen in “Game of Thrones.”

Comparing her to anyone grounded in reality is no easy gig. The most reasonable analogy would be to current Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. Both share great political secrets as well as a domineering presence over

This is a loose comparison, however. If you want the best, and perhaps most intended, allusion of Claire, look no further than in the character of Lady Macbeth.

Like Lady Macbeth, Claire is just as, if not more so, power-hungry as her husband throughout the first two seasons. However, also like the Shakespearean character, Claire begins to experience a dramatic guilt trip that eats away at her happiness.

Frank’s political opponent for the past two seasons, Heather Dunbar, played by Elizabeth Marvel, is without a doubt the Brutus of “Julius Caesar” to this story.

Originally working for Frank as Solicitor General, Heather announced her candidacy against Frank once she became aware of his corruptness. She is viewed through the lens of the show as a traitor, just like Brutus.

Et tu Dunbar?

From a political standpoint, however, she is perhaps modeled after one of the most celebrated left wing politicians of this generation: Elizabeth Warren.

Both politicians endorse highly liberal political stances, especially in regards to women’s rights. Just like Warren, Heather is often seen advocating for gender-equal pay in the workforce.

Regardless of their crooked connections, the characters of “House of Cards” are some of the best TV has seen in years.

If perhaps you think it is wrong to hold such villains in high regards, remember what Frank said: “Of all the things I place in high regard, rules are not one of them.”

Musicians for politicians

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Presidential candidates Sen. Bernie Sanders, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

et’s face it: music is the rebels’ playground.

I’ve always believed that as long there is art, there will be politics and vice versa.

None of this is new either. The interbreeding of revolution and music has gone back centuries. Protest songs have dated back to the 17th and 18th centuries.

However, this art was perfected in the 1960s in the genre we needed more than ever: punk rock.

Punk rock was a genre called to arms by songs like the Kinks’ “You Really Got Me,” the Rolling Stones’ “Street Fighting Man” and the Who’s “My Generation.”

The answer: the Ramones, the Sex Pistols, the Clash and Television.

This genre, of course, grew over time on more extreme levels, creating some of the most memorable and middlefinger-happy acts like GG Allin, Black Flag and the entire riot grrrl movement of the 1990s.

In fact, the ’90s is perhaps best known as being the kick-start to where all musicians, not just the punk rockers,

raised their voice in concern for society.

How could we forget when Sinéad O’Connor ripped up a picture of the Pope on Saturday Night Live and said “Fight the real enemy,” or Fiona Apple’s “This world is bullshit” speech at the MTV Video Music Awards?

These are pop stars, by the way. They weren’t obligated by genre to act in a controversial manner, and both of the artists’ careers suffered tremendously because of these acts.

Fortunately, it takes much more today in order for a star to throw away his or her career, and that is why our artists have decided to be more politically active than ever.

Thanks to social media, we now live in a time when, if you raise your voice, you will be heard by millions of sympathetic fans. There is very little reason to remain closeted.

Why is this important? Musicians are some of the most iconic people in the world, holding perhaps more influence than politicians, writers or other celebrities.

Their encouragements for

individuality, peace and activism have proven effective again and again.

In the charge for liberty, fraternity and equality, musicians are carrying the rally flag.

Perhaps the hyped and recent example would be Beyoncé’s performance at the Super Bowl halftime show where she and a large group of dancers dressed similarly to Black Panthers and raised their fists in the black power salute.

Regardless of whether or not you approve of this, you have to admit it’s pretty brave. Could you imagine Nina Simone, Diana Ross or Tina Turner doing this? Of course not.

What really seems to be bringing musician input more than ever recently, however, is the upcoming 2016 presidential election.

Musicians who are “Feeling the Bern” for Sen. Bernie Sanders include the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Dave Matthews, Neil Young, Tyler the Creator, Ezra Koenig and longtime endorser Killer Mike.

Beyoncé, Katy Perry, Ariana Grande,

Clay Aiken and Ellie Goulding have all said they are ready for Hillary Clinton.

Even if they are unable to agree on which candidate they prefer, most musicians can agree on one thing: they really hate Donald Trump.

Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters has called Trump “pig ignorant,” which any Pink Floyd fan will know is an insult of the highest degree.

Pop star Miley Cyrus, an animal rights activist, said she plans on leaving the country if Trump is elected because of his pro-hunting views.

Trump has at least a couple of musical supporters: Ted Nugent and Kid Rock.

Are you surprised? Didn’t think so.

So whether you are ready to rebel against what Green Day called “Idiot America” and save us from total anarchy or just to preach for gender equality, remember the only way towards progression is to be the real punk of society.
