Nurse Brittany Combs searches for supplies through the back of the SUV used for the needle exchange program Feb. 3 in Austin, Indiana. The SUV contains all the supplies the needle exchange hands out to participants.

The woman in the van Two years ago, Brittany Combs would have been scared to drive into neighborhoods populated by drug addicts. Now she’s there every week trying to save their lives.

AUSTIN, Indiana — She looks for the addicts every Friday on the north side of town, in a neighborhood that has crumbled into an apocalyptic landscape.

They are camped more than 10 at a time behind shattered windows and boarded-up doors inside houses with no electricity or running water. Sometimes they huddle inside garages or sleep in cars.

When Brittany Combs pulls up in the white minivan with the health department logo on the side, she often sees no one at first. They’ll find her.

She parks the minivan in a gravel driveway. Two years ago, before the outbreak, she would have been terrified to drive into this neighborhood. Now she calmly leans against the side of the van, crosses her arms over her red windbreaker and waits.

Three people approach her a minute later, each holding a bright red box labeled “BIOHAZARD” full of used syringes.

Scott County’s HIV cases According to the Indiana State Department of Health records, the Scott County’s HIV rates started skyrocketing Feb. 2015.

After the start of the county’s needle exchange Apr. 2015, rates of diagnoses eventually began to level off.

to get them from the health department themselves.

“Well, you can be my middleman, then,” Combs suggests.

“Well, sure,” Fred says. “But I ain’t no drug dealer.”

At the house next door, a couple sitting on their porch glare in their direction. A police car rolls by.

Combs hands him the package of 140 new syringes and three naloxone kits.

“Of course you’re not, Fred,” she says. “We’re saving lives.”

The IU Delta Omicron chapter of Delta Delta Delta was revoked Saturday after the groups’s national organization said the IU members’ “activities” clashed with Tri Delt’s “high standards” and “purpose.”

President Kimberlee Di Fede Sullivan wrote in a statement Saturday that the decision was based on an investigation into IU members’ activities that “violated the chapter’s previous probation terms, though the statement did not specify the activities or the probation terms.

“We are deeply disappointed in the choices made by members of our chapter at Indiana,” Sullivan said in the statement. “The decision to withdraw Delta Omicron’s charter was made by the Executive Board, in concert with chapter volunteers, and with heavy hearts for all involved. We will work closely with our collegiate members, loyal alumnae and Indiana University through this challenging situation.”

The statement did not go into detail about what will happen with current members or those who currently live in the Tri Delt house, located at 818 E. Third St., on the south side of campus.

According to a private document sent out to individual members and posted on Facebook on Saturday, Tri Delt was already under “disciplinary review” for unspecified activities.

According to the letter, members found in violation of Tri Delta’s obligation of membership will be sanctioned and may be terminated as members.

Members still in good standing will not be allowed to represent Tri Delta in any capacity at IU, but they can still be alumnae when they graduate.

The Indiana Daily Student will continue to update this story.

Students for Life of America and Students for Life at IU rallied at the Sample Gates on Saturday afternoon to protest a request for injunction that the University filed last May in response to Indiana House Enrolled Act 1337. Among other actions, HEA 1337 prohibits the transfer or acceptance of fetal tissue remains, which are used in medical research.

Signs provided for the event by Students for Life of America read “Expose Indiana University for trafficking babyparts,” and some protesters brought other handmade signs saying “Human Beings Aren’t Test Subjects” and “IU says it needs brains? Why not use the ones they’ve got,” which they displayed to passing cars and pedestrians on Indiana Avenue.

The plaintiffs in IU’s case argued the statute’s restriction on fetal tissue is unconstitutionally vague and deters research and interstate commerce, “which is not outweighed by any benefit of the Enrolled Act.“ The legal and factual basis in the complaint explains how IU and the primary researchers for the School of Medicine’s Stark Neurosciences Research Institute do not use intact fetuses, which are regulated differently.

Saturday’s rally opened and closed with prayer and featured six speakers, including Students for Life at IU president Jenna Fisher, a representative from Students for Life of America and two IU professors.

“My Indiana University, my IU, is misrepresenting what it means to be a Hoosier and conducting research that is both unethical and illegal,” Fisher, a sophomore studying community health, told the crowd.

The disputed fetal tissue is purchased from the University of Washington’s Birth Defects Research Laboratory, which sources

The No. 23 IU wrestling team placed 13th out of 14 teams at the Big Ten Championships this weekend in Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. With the effort, four Hoosiers are headed to the NCAA Championships for the first time since 2014.

IU Coach Duane Goldman said he was proud of the way the Hoosiers competed but hopes this experience will show his squad just how competitive each of them has to be for every second of every match. ***

to purchase fetal body parts, but the videos were found by private research company Fusion GPS to be selectively edited to skew facts and statements.

The Texas grand jury tasked with investigating the allegations made by the Center for Medical Progress cleared Planned Parenthood of wrongdoing and indicted the producers of the video on felony and misdemeanor charges, which were later dropped.

Fisher said the perceived benefit from using aborted fetal tissue for research makes society more accepting of abortion procedures, which she called a horrendous wrong. The University’s involvement in this research makes it guilty of propagating an abortion industry, she said.

“Indiana University does not buy fetuses or fetal body parts,” University spokesperson Margie

Seven-seed and 125-pound sophomore Elijah Oliver made the podium and placed sixth at the Big Tens.

Oliver got off to a strong start and defeated Michael Beck of Maryland, 3-2, to advance to the quarterfinals.

In the quarterfinal bout, Oliver took down Ben Thornton of rival Purdue, 5-3.

The win against Thornton advanced Oliver to the semis and punched his ticket to this season’s NCAA Championships, where he went 1-2 last season.

Oliver was unable to win his semifinal match and lost to three-seed Tim Lambert of Nebraska, which sent Oliver to the consolation bracket for the final day.

Despite that loss, Goldman said he was pleased with Oliver’s day to lock himself into NCAAs. “He had a good day,” Goldman said. “In the semis, he has had trouble with Lambert before. Unfortunately that trouble continued, but he is in a good position.”

After dropping his consolation semifinal match to four-seed Ethan Lizak of Minnesota, Oliver had one more match — a bout for fifth place that he and the coaches would go on to forfeit due to a knee injury.

With this weekend’s effort and place in the NCAA Championships,

material from aborted and miscarried fetuses. The tissue is used to derive mixed cell cultures that aid in the current federally funded study of Alzheimer’s disease.

About 40 people, including families with small children, were in attendance despite posts from the opposition on the event’s Facebook page that varied from mocking the groups’ statements and requesting unbiased evidence to asking the organizers not to come to Bloomington.

Fisher asked the crowd to imagine a financially strained woman taking her 2-year-old child to a clinic and paying them to handle her burden by terminating it. Fisher then said the crowd should imagine the toddler being dismembered and its parts sold off for research.

“This is happening right now, except the children are smaller, weaker and more vulnerable than the toddler in this hypothetical

situation,” she said.

The national debate on the use of fetal tissue for medical research was catalyzed in 2015 by a series of videos by the Center for Medical Progress which purported to show top Planned Parenthood executives haggling over the prices of fetal tissue. Laurel Spencer, president of Advocates for Life at IU’s Maurer School of Law, opened her speech by saying these videos jolted the country into reality.

“I don’t know that much about those videos, if they were edited or just cut, but I think there was real evidence presented there,” Fisher said after the rally.

Despite its name, the Center for Medical Progress website describes the organization as “a group of citizen journalists dedicated to monitoring and reporting on medical ethics and advances.”

Sigma Pi’s John Panos faces off against Phi Gamma Delta’s Dwight Hall during the “Last Man Standing” boxing event Friday evening in the Warehouse.

Alumni provide career advice on liberal arts degrees

Greeks box for cancer charity

By Larmie Sanyon lsanyon@indiana.edu | @LarmieSanyon

As the bell rang at the end the first round, John Panos from Sigma Pi returned to his corner. He had water poured on his skin and in his mouth as one member of the medical team took a quick look at him. He had been hit too many times.

The fighters returned to the center of the ring, and the crowd still cheered “Panos.” They applauded and chanted, but it wouldn’t be enough. Panos was struck on his arm, and his facial expression changed completely. The audience cringed.

Sigma Pi’s annual “Last Man Standing,” a philanthropic boxing event where men and women from different greek organizations are paired and trained to fight, took place Friday.

Half of the proceeds will be donated to the Warehouse, a local nonprofit and recreational center, and the other half goes to the American Cancer Society.

Panos said he wanted to experience something new.

He wanted to see what boxers go through and get a glimpse of the pain cancer patients endure through his training. That’s why he joined the fight — to push himself.

“This was definitely one of the bigger goals of my college career,” Panos said.

“If your goals don’t scare you, then they are not big enough.”

Panos said his training was about more than himself because he would represent his fraternity and honor his fraternity brothers, Joseph Smedley and

Nicolas Smith, who died within the last two years.

Two days before the fight, Panos paced in the lounge area of the Sigma Pi house on North Jordan.

He was wearing a blue print dress shirt, black dress pants and a gold chain. He was getting ready to face his opponent.

There was a stage with a projector screen, a banner with the sponsors on it, and a reserved seating section just below it.

The fight was only 48 hours away, and Panos said he did not know how to feel.

“It’ll hit you Friday,” one of his fraternity brothers said.

Panos laughed and agreed.

As people piled into the lounge area and began to gather outside, the music started. A$AP Rocky blasting through the speakers.

“Are you guys ready?” the announcer Nicole Krasean, an IU journalism student and former Indiana Daily Student editor, said.

The cheering crowd, mostly the Sigma Pi brothers, stomped on the deck, barked and growled.

Krasean announced the first fighter, Dwight Hall, of Fiji. The crowd booed him because of who he would be fighting — John Panos.

Panos was brought from the lounge on a wooden chair by three of his brothers.

The crowd roared as he approached the stage.

He got out of his chair and walked up the few steps to the stage.

Hall and Panos were asked to describe each other in three words.

Panos’ fraternity

brothers drowned out Fiji’s smack talk with their disapproval.

Then it was Panos’ turn.

“Tall. Lanky. Fiji,” Panos said to a chaotic response from the audience.

At 5:45 p.m. Friday evening, before Panos had stepped into the ring, he walked around the open floor space of the Warehouse in a black tank top, shorts and socks with red wireless headphones around his neck.

The ring took center stage with a VIP section forming a circular shape around it separated by orange and white barricade blocks. Before the guests arrived, Panos talked to his brothers and the Warehouse staff to make sure everything was ready for the fight.

“Hell yeah,” Panos said.

“I’m ready to roll.”

He kept his statements to the point as he moved between his locker room and the main room.

After acknowledgments and the national anthem, it was time for the first fight.

Panos versus Hall. Sigma Pi versus Fiji.

The arena erupted as people pounded tables, stood on chairs and screamed until their faces matched the color of their purple Fiji shirts.

It was not long until Hall was sitting disappointed on the side of the ring. He sat down to watch the next fight after his ended abruptly.

“It’s kinda sad how it ended,” Hall said. “It’s not how I wanted it to end.”

With his longer arms, Hall had better reach and made a lot of contact with Panos’ face and body. This

frustrated Panos, he said.

He jumped up and down, rolled his shoulders and smacked himself in the face to get back in the game, but the fight didn’t go in his favor.

His shoulder had popped out. The referee stopped the fight.

Medical staff rushed to check on Panos. The fight was over. Panos was yelling and crying in pain, and his face was red as the man in scrubs took care of him.

He had lost in a minute and a half.

Panos said he knew his shoulder would pop out because it had happened twice before in the last six months. However, he said he got himself fired up anyway and fought because it was about more than him.

At one point Panos said he was in so much pain that he couldn’t think of anything or anyone else other than Smith and Smedley.

“I think they are the reasons I kept going,” Panos said. “They both lived up to the warrior definition. This was my way to show that it’s not about you but others.”

He said the pain was unbearable even after having his shoulder put in place, but he said it was worth it.

His parents drove him to the emergency room, leaving the ring and the rest of the fighting behind them.

At the end of the day his fraternity raised around $30,000 and had around 2,000 people attend to raise money for those with cancer.

“I was close to calling it and throwing in the towel,” Panos said. “People with cancer don’t throw in the towel. They keep going.”

Club to offer case competition tonight

By Sarah Verschoor sverscho@iu.edu | @Sarahverschoor

Net Impact IU is focused on making positive changes for the environment, but the group’s work isn’t centered around environmental activism or influencing policy policy. Instead, the student group works to create solutions to environmental challenges using businessfocused solutions instead of political ones.

Co-president of Net Impact IU, Kinny Liu, said thatother than addressing the problem, they try to motivate their members to think about the solution.

“When you let them know that they can make a difference through events, through projects, they can influence their friends and think about how that will make a change,” Liu said.

Net Impact will offer an event at 7:30 p.m. Monday in Global and International Studies 1128. The Food Solutions Challenge was initiated by the national organization, and 50 other Net Impact chapters will participate. First, they will teach attendees about the feeding a growing world and food production then analyze a case study about corn production at different stages, from farmer to consumer.

The case study teams will pitch their ideas, and the winning group will get the chance to compete against the other Net Impact chapters for the chance to win $5,000 and a paid trip to the food solutions challenge conference in Wisconsin.

Net Impact is a national non-profit organization with a chapter at IU that helps students come up with ideas for social and environmental change and put them into motion in their future careers.

Net Impact is working on eight long-term projects this semester. Liu said their two biggest are From Pond to Plant and working with Greening Cream & Crimson.

From Pond to Plant, led

by Megan Yoder, the club’s other co-president, involves researching and creating algae bioreactors to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from IU’s heating plant. Net Impact worked with the Greening Cream & Crimson last semester and are continuing their work this semester analyzing trash at IU athletic complexes.

Bethany Holland, Net Impact’s Vice President of Operations, said while working through climate change issues can be daunting, focusing on solutions is less overwhelming.

Holland’s family home is on a ranch outside Austin, Texas. Even as a young girl, she has always been in touch with the environment.

Some nights, she and her father would go to count deer.

Holland would sit on the window of the car and hold out the a flashlight so they could spot them.

“Growing up in that environment, I’d always thought about animal conservation or water pollution,” Holland said.

Particularly in her hometown, she said she noticed the droughts and competition over water.

Now at IU, Holland is a supply chain management and sustainable business major working with Net Impact member education.

“As a supply chain major, it is all about reducing waste, and I think that can play well with sustainability,” Holland said. “I think it’s the future of business.”

Not all Net Impact members are Kelley School of Business or School of Public and Environmental Affairs students. They draw many students from the School of Informatics as well as the College of Arts and Sciences, Liu said.

“I don’t have to be majoring in this to do something about it,” Liu said.

“That’s why we’re opening these doors to IU students so that while they’re doing something that they’re passionate about, they can have the resources to learn about sustainability.”

Liu started working with Net Impact IU as a freshman. She comes from southern China, and she said the weather there is like Florida’s climate. Liu said China faces issues with heavy smog because the country is focused on industry, but where she lives there is less smog.

“On the days when the smogs are heavy in some cities, you can’t even imagine running on the street,” Liu said. “I cannot imagine a future if there’s no improvement.”

Liu said she thinks educating people through real and persuasive data will make people and businesses think more consciously about the environmental effect they leave.

“Normally, businesses don’t think about environmental issues when they’re started,” Liu said. “People think about profit first because you need to make sure the company sustains, but when it comes to sustainability, you need to consider protecting the resources you use.”

A stay at home jeweler, a Nike account executive, a news anchor and a research specialist by day and actress by night were just a few of the IU alumni who had doled out their personal career advice to current IU students Friday in the Indiana Memorial Union.

The Walter Center for Career Achievement invited more than 20 distinguished alumni to Connect 2017, a conference-style program, which demonstrated, in contrast to the common cliche, the opportunities a degree in the liberal arts and sciences can provide students as opposed to degrees in other fields.

Recruitment coordinator, Rhian Buchol, said the intention behind Friday’s program was to help students find the value in their degree by encouraging them to network with alumni who have utilized theirs.

“We’re trying to find a way to show students they have options by bringing in alumni who have been in their shoes,” Bucholz said.

Some degrees provide college students with a sense of security because the outcome is more established but students in the College of Arts and Sciences do not have this security, Bucholz said.

Although students are learning a wide breadth of skills, she said they often don’t know what career path they should take. Bucholz said this variety of options can lead to them feeling lost and confused about the career path they should take.

“We’re trying to provide close, personalized environments, so students don’t get overwhelmed,” Bucholz said.

Friday’s program had five sessions, each with three seminars. The seminar topics ranged from entrepreneurship, internships, gender in the workplace, overcoming failure and artistic careers.

In one of the sessions about artistic careers, the alumni discussed combining their interest in the arts with a practical career, which helps them to sustain their livelihood.

All of the present panelists were artists, but the way in which each of them

“If you can’t get where you want right out of college, that’s okay. If you can get somewhere that’s going to take you to the next level, do it.”

Katie Fagan, manager at Prescription Songs

incorporate it into their lives was different from one another.

Katie Fagan, artists and repertoire manager at Prescription Songs, emphasized the importance of creating relationships through networking because she said the connections students make can help them in the future, even if they don’t realize it now.

“If you can’t get where you want right out of college, that’s okay,” Fagan said. “If you can get somewhere that’s going to take you to the next level, do it.”

Fagan, who graduated in 2010 with a bachelor’s degree in popular vocal music, said she came to the realization that her major was not the most sustainable.

She said her natural reaction was to panic because she didn’t know how she would apply it to the real world.

“I had no clue,” Fagan said, “I was like, there’s no chance. I’m never going to get out of IU.” Fagan said the connections she made her senior year ended up helping her get her current position.

By reaching out to people who had connections in the music industry, she was able to create her own connections.

Ultimately, she got her job because she was persistent, yet respectful, a combination she said is important when reaching out to new potential employers.

Laura Fonseca, Walter Center for Career Achievement’s senior associate director, said the program was created by the center’s team after reaching out to other alumni and students to understand their preferred networking methods.

“Alumni can provide additional insight into industries and career paths,” Fonseca said. “Research tells us networking continues to be incredibly important for any job seeker.”

CORRECTION In Friday’s edition of the Indiana Daily Student, a story titled “Syrian family builds life in Indy, amid strife of Trump polices” falsely referred to Lina al-Midani as a Syrian refugee.

She is a Syrian immigrant. The IDS regrets this error.

‘Taste of Bloomington’ fundraises for Exodus

By Christine Fernando ctfernan@indiana.edu | @christinetfern

Community members walked in with signs reading “Refugees Welcome,” “I stand with refugees” and “Compassionate.” Inside, a musician tuned a citar while volunteers set out trays of tabouli, lentil patties and falafels.

Volunteer musicians and organizers were preparing for “Taste of Bloomington: Refugee Resettlement Fundraiser,” which took place Saturday at Pourhouse Café. The event was organized by No Lost Generation at IU, an activist group focused on those subjected to violence from the Syrian refugee crisis.

The event was part of efforts to raise funds for refugee resettlement programs like Exodus and Catholic Charities affected by recent budget cuts.

In 2016 alone, Exodus welcomed 947 refugees in Indianapolis. Including all resettlement programs, more than 2,000 total refugees arrived in Indiana in 2016 according to Indiana Public Media. But Marine Brichard, a fundraiser with No Lost Generation, said she fears this number will plummet in 2017.

The 60 refugees who were slated to arrive in Bloomington at the beginning of the school year no longer can because of budget issues,

according to Indiana Public Media. Catholic Charities expected 290 refugees to arrive in Indiana through their program, but now their statuses are also on hold.

Brichard said she hopes No Lost Generation’s efforts will help resume progress toward welcoming refugees in Bloomington.

“We want to fight the potential loss of an entire generation of children affected by violence and the refugee crisis going on right now,” Brichard said.

The event was also in response to President Trump’s recent executive order limiting refugees and banning entry to the United States from seven Muslim-majority countries. While the initial order has been overturned, Brichard said they are expecting a new version and want to be prepared.

She said the order has already affected funding for Exodus and Catholic Charities, two of the resettlement programs the event supports.

Exodus has already had to lay off employees, Brichard said.

The new barriers put up by the executive order add to problems caused by lack of funding, Brichard said.

“If we want to support these refugees and give them the case management, medical, mental wellness, education and housing support

they need, we need to work for it,” Brichard said.

Mathi Tamilmani , attendee and IU sophomore, said she was excited for the food but was mostly there to support refugees, which she sees as vital in the current political climate.

“We need to create an environment for refugees and immigrants to feel welcome because I think that can be difficult to achieve because of politics right now,” Tamilmani said while piling Russian salad onto a paper plate.

For Jackie Baumann , an attendee and IU senior, supporting refugees has a personal significance. Baumann said her family members were German immigrants two generations ago. Now she said she wants to give refugees the same opportunity her family had.

“I want them to be able to make a home for themselves here, despite all the biases against immigrants today,” she said.

Bausmann said she wanted to continue these efforts after moving to Indianapolis, but many of the refugee resettlement programs weren’t accepting more volunteers.

More people were volunteering than the programs could handle, she said.

While she was disappointed she couldn’t volunteer for her chosen programs, she said she was happy to see so

much support.

“It’s great to see the community really banding behind these refugees,” she said.

Brichard said it was also rewarding to see all the community members come out and to see all the restaurants, including Anatolia’s, Sofra Café, Pourhouse, Little Tibet and Falafels Middle Eastern Grill, donate food.

“It’s so encouraging and unexpected to see the turnout,” she said. “It just started out with a few phone calls, and now we have a community behind us.”

Tamilmani said starting at

a local level is the best way to bring about tangible change.

She said she is happy organizations like No Lost Generation are fundraising for refugee resettlement programs while spreading awareness of refugee struggles throughout the community.

Tamilmani said the community as a whole must also be educated about what the immigration process is really like for refugees.

Brichard said she’s seen a lot of local efforts through Exodus and Catholic Charities and said Bloomington has even more potential to make a difference.

“Bloomington is such a diverse, multicultural community with so many resources that we would be perfect to host refugees down the line,” Brichard said. “I hope that we can make that happen.”

Above all, Brichard said reaching Bloomington’s full potential to make a difference as a community involves holding onto hope.

“It’s easy to hear the stories and see the photos and feel helpless,” she said. “But we need to keep up hope, and we need to stay informed, to share facts instead of fear.”

CITY COUNCIL

Feminist group discusses City and council officials how to take political action answer annexation questions

By Brooke McAfee bemcafee@indiana.edu @bemcafee24601

Reproductive rights.

Economic and racial justice.

LGBT rights. There are an overwhelming amount of issues that Elizabeth Jacobs said she wants to take action on in this political climate.

She came to “Day of Action” to find out how she can become politically involved.

The Monroe County chapter of the National Organization for Women presented the event Saturday at First United Church in Bloomington for people to learn about ways to take political action.

NOW is a feminist advocacy organization focused on six keys issues, including reproductive rights and justice, ending violence against women, economic justice, racial justice, LGBT rights and constitutional equality.

The event included multiple stations for people to write letters to legislators and letters to newspapers, brainstorm issues for the group to address and participate in a campaign to encourage Rep. Trey Hollingsworth, R-9th District to come to a town hall.

Monroe County NOW leadership council member Elizabeth Winchester said the organization provides the opportunity to get involved with all the different issues women face in the current political climate.

“You don’t feel like you have to spread your energy across too many different organizations, so that is a really useful thing,” she said.

At one station, people

wrote down ideas and suggestions for what they wanted to see change on a federal and local level and how NOW could improve.

“Save federal protections for transgender people,” one person wrote.

“MUST find ways to connect with women of color and support them in taking leadership of this initiative,” said another.

At one station, Cathi Crabtree , who is a member on the NOW leadership council, gave people information about how to write to legislators and discussed bills the organization is concerned about on issues of abortion and gun control.

“I think it’s critical to write, to support them when they vote the way we want, but to also let them know how we would like them to vote on other issues,” she said. “You know the other side is doing that, so we need to be on stronger ground from the grassroots than they are.”

Laura Collins, who formed Monroe County NOW, shot videos of people asking Hollingsworth to attend Monroe County’s 9th District Town Hall.

“Hey Trey, let’s talk,” Brenda Stern, 60, said as she faced the camera, holding up a sign featuring a picture of Hollingsworth with the words #HeyTrey.

Monroe County NOW plans to cosponsor the town hall with Indivisible Bloomington. The organization is still planning the event, so the date has not been announced.

Collins said she plans to create a 30 second promo

“I think it’s critical to write, to support them when they vote the way we want, but to also let them know how we would like them to vote on other issues. You know the other side is doing that, so we need to be on stronger ground from the grassroots than they are.”

Cathi Crabtree, NOW leadership council member

video to share on social media. She said she wants the video to be shared across various social media platforms.

“I’m just trying to draw attention to the fact that Trey Hollingsworth is avoiding people’s emails and phone calls to set up a town hall,” she said. “I sort of want to take it up to the next level.”

The organization plans to have the event whether he shows up or not, so it could be embarrassing for Hollingsworth if he does not appear, Collins said.

She said she is concerned that Hollingsworth is not representing the 9th District as a whole, and she wants him to listen to the people who did not vote for him.

“We didn’t necessarily vote for him, but he represents us, and he needs to listen to us and he needs to talk with us,” Collins said. “How can you ignore us if you’re supposed to represent us?”

Suspect at large after Big Red robbery From IDS reports

Police are seeking a suspect after a robbery Saturday night at the west side Big Red Liquors.

Police were called at 10:48 p.m. to the store on the 2400 block of West Third Street, where they found employees in the store’s back room, Bloomington Police Sgt. Pam Gladish said.

The employees told police a man had come into the store at about 10:45 p.m. and displayed a semi-automatic handgun, which he kept out but did not point at the employees.

The suspect is described as a black man, about six feet tall, wearing silver-rim

glasses, a gray hoodie and a white St. Louis Cardinals jersey.

He told the clerk to empty the register and put the cash in a bag.

The suspect then ordered the employees to go into the store’s back room, where he forced them to open a safe and remove the money from it.

The suspect left the back room but told the employees to stay there.

Shortly after, they heard the bell of the front door and, assuming the suspect had left, called police.

Neither employee had ever seen the man before, they told police.

Police do not believe the suspect took anything

Mayor John Hamilton met a few of his potential new constituents last weekend, but the future relationship has gotten off to a rocky start.

Hundreds gathered Saturday afternoon at the auditorium of the Monroe County fairgrounds to ask officials from the City of Bloomington, Monroe County and Van Buren township questions about potentially becoming official city residents through an annexation project proposed by Hamilton on Feb. 3.

The annexation proposal was for the addition of seven areas, totaling 10,000 acres and 15,000 people, in and around the city of Bloomington last month. These seven areas, which are currently unincorporated, would be official parts of the city. City services do not currently extend to these areas. Bloomington is the closest municipality to the people in the proposed annexation areas.

Hamilton said at his public proposal Feb. 3 the annexation “will allow all those households and businesses in the community to be a part of the same future of Bloomington.” If the annexation is approved, it would not take effect until Jan. 1, 2020.

The crowd heckled and shouted over officials attempting to answer

questions at the hour-anda-half-long forum regarding tax increases, public safety, city transit and sewer systems. People took turns asking questions and were often critical of the process.

Diana Igo, a resident in an annexation area, addressed Hamilton in her statement by his first name as she called him a liar and not transparent for proposing annexation without consulting county and township officials.

“I don’t care if you were running for dog catcher, I will never vote for you, John,” Igo said, followed by cheers and applause.

Most concerns regarded tax increases for services, such as private trash services.

People in annexation areas already have township fire departments and county law enforcement.

Van Buren township is located on the western edge of Bloomington. One woman who spoke up at the meeting made a case as to why people in the area chose not to live in the city.

“They rent here on the west side, and they shop in our shops, and they drive on our roads and go to our schools because they can’t afford to live in the city of Bloomington,” she said.

Hamilton, Monroe County council member Geoff McKim, Van Buren township trustee Rita Barrow and Monroe County

commissioner Julie Thomas took turns answering public comment.

Hamilton said in an interview after the meeting he expected this kind of feedback from residents in the annexed areas but was thankful so many people came to ask questions.

“It’s not surprising that people who are right next to a city don’t want to be annexed into a city and pay the taxes associated with the city,” Hamilton said after the meeting.

Given that the Bloomington city council has to approve annexation, city council president Susan Sandberg said after the meeting that it was a useful and informative meeting for council members. They want to hear constituent concerns before they make their decisions, she said.

“What makes sense will go forward and what doesn’t will not,” she said.

Hamilton told the crowd the city has annexed “a few hundred times” in its 199year history, but no annexations have taken place in the last 15 years. Hamilton said he was confident that despite the emotional build up people have about annexation, the city will still grow.

“We’ve been doing it for 200 years, and we’re going to keep doing it,” Hamilton said.

“We’ve annexed our history, and we can do this again.”

IU students perform ‘Milk and Honey’ on stage

By Brooke McAfee bemcafee@indiana.edu @bemcafee24601

In the small theater, a woman cried onstage as she leaned against a stack of blocks. One by one, she toppled each one to the ground with a loud clang, and she performed a poem through the process.

“I was made heavy / half blade and half silk / difficult to forget but / not easy for the mind to follow,” she said, reading a poem from Rupi Kaur’s book “Milk and Honey.”

IU senior Melanie McNulty directed “Milk and Honey,” a production of Kaur’s book of poetry. The production took place Friday and Saturday in the Lee Norvelle Theatre and Drama Center’s Studio Theatre.

The performance featured a cast of seven women, and it was divided into four parts: “The Hurting,” “The Loving,” “The Breaking” and “The Healing”. As the ensemble read Kaur’s poems, it performed a series of short scenes to illustrate the words.

Kaur’s bestselling book

“Milk and Honey” consists of short poems and illustrations addressing topics like femininity, relationships, abuse, love and heartbreak.

The poems featured in McNulty’s production emphasized themes like selflove and solidarity among women.

In her director’s note, McNulty said she wanted to recreate the visceral response she had to Kaur’s poetry in a stage production. She wanted the audience to understand how she felt when she read the book.

“Through Rupi Kaur’s writing, I relived blissful memories with a smile on my face,” she said. “I unearthed deep-rooted pain, which left me to dry leftover tears I didn’t know still lingered in me.”

Megan Garrett, assistant director at IU Hillel, said she had read some of Kaur’s work before seeing the production, and she enjoyed watching the interpretations of the poetry.

“I thought it was absolutely beautiful,” she said.

“It was almost like a dance on stage. I was expecting more like a monologue

experience, but it was actually like they created a dance and movement associated with all these emotions and things that Rupi Kaur is expressing.”

The beauty of Kaur’s work is how people can easily relate to her poetry, Garrett said.

“I think we all experience the human experience as love, pain, healing,” she said. “It’s all stuff that you go through.”

Senior Keri Weitzel said she had been excited to see the production because she had read the book “Milk and Honey.”

“I really love ‘Milk and Honey,’ so it was cool to see her vision come to life of what the poems are,” she said.

She said she enjoyed seeing how the production took Kaur’s words off the page.

Weitzel said she enjoyed the last section about healing the most because of its expression of girl power.

Senior Sophia Garofoli was part of the ensemble in “Milk and Honey.” She said she was not familiar with Kaur’s work before working

on the show, which was one of the reasons she chose to become involved in the production.

She said the emphasis on self-love is one of the most important messages of Kaur’s poetry and McNulty’s production.

Performing in “Milk and Honey” was an emotional

experience for the ensemble and on a personal level, she said.

“It’s definitely very much an ensemble piece,” Garofoli said. “It’s also a way to get to know yourself.”

Senior Ellen Takagi said McNulty’s production expressed vulnerability and was beautifully brought to

life.

“It’s insane to me how every single person sitting in this audience can relate to some part of the play in some form or another,” she said. “I thought Melanie did an incredible job at bringing so much rawness of human life to the form of this production.”

10 move forward in Campus Superstar competition

By Christine Fernando ctfernan@indiana.edu | @christinetfern

Clad in a black suit, a contestant stepped up to a microphone to sing Michael Bublé’s “You & I” as three judges listened from a panel beside him. Behind him was a silver star with the words “Campus Superstar” written in purple.

“In my mind, we can conquer the world,” he sang, as audience members hollered.

Campus Superstar is a vocal talent competition open to students from any college or university in Indiana. The semifinal competition took place Sunday evening at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater.

The finals will take place April 9 at the Toby Theater in the Indianapolis Museum of Art.

After Sunday’s semifinal round, judges narrowed the field of contestants down from 20 from across eight campuses to ten. Attendee Corey Jeffries’ daughter, Taira Beverly-Jeffries, was one of the semifinalists.

“She’s been practicing all day,” Jeffries said. “I’m excited to see her up on that stage.”

Each contestant only had 90 seconds to show off their talent to their judges and win a spot in the finals.

But Jeffries said he wasn’t worried. Jeffries said when his daughter is on stage, she becomes a different person.

“She can be quiet, but when she gets on that stage, she just has a fire,” Jeffries said. “She has an amazing enthusiasm. You can see

how much work she puts into this.”

Attendee Juan Rivera was a Campus Superstar contestant in 2013. Now he said he is just excited to see the new contestants’ talent and hard work pay off on stage.

He said he also loves the variety of genres represented in Campus Superstar every year.

“You get opera and rock and just everything in between,” Rivera said. “It’s interesting to see that wide array of genres.”

Terri Stephany, mother of contestant Leigha Stephany, said while viewers gain from the entertainment value of the performances, the Helene G. Simon Hillel Center will also benefit from

the event.

The funds raised by the $5 entry fees go toward supporting the Hillel Center in efforts to develop diversity at IU. “We are dedicated to developing a strong Jewish community and supporting the leaders of tomorrow,” said Sue Silberberg, rabbi at the Hillel Center.

While the Hillel Center and the audience benefit, Stephany said the competitors have the most to gain from the experience.

She said she hopes her own daughter will be able to gain skill and an understanding of her own abilities by competing.

“I want to see her shine,” Stephany said. “I want her

to leave that stage with confidence in her voice.”

Ten of the current semifinalists were chosen to move onto the final round for a chance to win the $5,000 first-place prize.

From there, judges cut the pool down to five contestants, and the audience chooses the final winner.

The audience choice from the semifinals will also automatically move on to the finals.

As a result, Rivera said it is important for the contestants to connect with the audience in order to earn their slot in the finals.

“This isn’t the auditions when you’re just trying to impress the judges,” Rivera said. “This is real. This is

about working the audience and winning them over.”

He said the first step to winning over the audience is to have the vocal skill.

The next step is to have personality.

“It’s the semifinals, so everyone here can sing,” he said. “What makes you stand out is your personality.”

As an audience member, Jeffries said he is looking for personality, but he mostly wants to see how much effort contestants put into preparing. He said he wants to see enthusiasm.

“Just get up on that stage and give it your all,” Jeffries said. “Don’t hold back.

This is your chance to show everyone what you’ve got.”

First Thursday lecture celebrates women, power and arts

By Noelle Snider nmsnider@indiana.edu @snider_noelle

In celebration of Women’s History Month, the Eskenazi Museum of Art planned a lecture for First Thursday, which worked to link ideas of women and power with the arts.

Tavy Aherne, the Eskenazi Museum of Art’s senior academic officer, took the audience on a tour of five different pieces of art.

Aherne connected the pieces through different ideas and themes.

One common theme throughout the works of art

was the respect women had in society. The first piece of art was the “Lidded BirchBark Box” created by Rose Kimewon Williams.

“She herself would create through these boxes and the training of other women and these boxes economic success for these women,” Aherne said Aherne said Williams was Ottawa and Canadian.

Williams created the birchbark box as a way to revitalize her culture and promote themselves as powerful and creative. Birch-bark was a fundamental material used for canoes, housing, cooking and storage in the

s e n a L c i s s s a e L C n a L c i s Clas

community.

Along with creating economic success for the women around her, Aherne said Williams also used her economics to help children in the community as well.

“She was fundamental in this idea of co-opting the power, the agency, of rewriting your own history, your own identity,” Aherne said.

While Williams helped her community by teaching them to make artistic boxes, Aherne said based on one’s class standing in the South Pacific, a male priest would make a weaving peg for a woman. Weaving was considered a sacred art.

“This woman weaver actually would have been trained in a house of learning,” Aherne said. “She would have undergone initiation and specific ceremonies.”

This idea of a woman’s society and training was also seen in the Sande Society in West Africa. Aherne said the Sande Society was a preparation for women to go into their future and adulthood.

The only public aspect of the society was shown through the masks that others occasionally saw. Aherne said the masks would come out during special political events

of initiation. The mask highlighted the women’s beauty both morally and physically.

“It’s rather like a fraternity or sorority where you have membership that separates the us from them,” Aherne said. “Where knowledge within that society is secret and not shared with outsiders.”

Aherne said Sande elders were the people the women of the community looked up to. They would teach young women about societal relationships and how to associate with men. Since women and men worked together the Sande elders were complementary to the male association Poro.

“Women are seen as the height of civilization and the height of beauty,” Aherne said.

Freshman studying journalism Jessica Prucha experienced Aherne’s “Women, Power and the Arts” talk with a couple of friends. She said she wanted to come to the event because she was inspired that it was for Women’s History Month.

“I thought it was really interesting to see the comparison between the women in the societies involving this art and modern day society,” Prucha said. “I was just inspired by how valued they were and their interactions and involvement in society.”

EDITORIAL BOARD

Argentina faces a crisis In her dining room, my home stay mother in Buenos Aires, Argentina, has a 10-year-old photo of four Latin American leaders interlocking hands — Néstor Kirchner of Argentina, Hugo Chávez of Venezuela, Luiz Lula of Brazil, and Evo Morales of Bolivia.

The photo captures an amazing moment in the 525year history since Christopher Columbus initiated the pillaging of the New World.

These four leaders were not only democratically elected, but represented a newfound independence on the continent that dismissed the marching orders of the United States and other colonial powers. Today only Morales remains in power.

Kirchner and Chávez are dead, while Lula’s successor Dilma Rousseff was ousted in what amounted to a legislative coup before the 2016 Olympics, and replaced by CIA stooge Michel Temer.

The crumbling of Latin American populism and the overall rightward shift of the continent has plunged Argentina into a political crisis not seen since its economic collapse in 2001. Work is hard to come by and more than 40 percent inflation is strangling the average citizen’s wallet. But to listen to the country’s right-wing businessman president, Macuro Macri, who gave a joint address to the legislature last week, his tenure has been a huge success.

“I don’t hate people,” Ana Laura Lobo, my study abroad group’s academic director said. “But I hate him.”

To give an idea to readers back in the United States how out of touch the Argentine president is, at the end of his speech a protester threw a bag of marijuana at him. Obviously not knowing what was in his hand, Macri held up the bag and proclaimed “a gift.”

The situation is intensifying in Argentina’s capital, as mass protests are scheduled for this week, including the international women’s strike this Wednesday. Women face the direst of situations in

Lucas Robinson is a senior in English and political science.

Argentina, and some of their demands for the strike include equal pay, legal abortion and an end to Femicide, as extreme violence toward women is a huge epidemic in Argentina.

All of this is occurring amidst what my home stay sister calls a “new Operation Condor.” For those unfamiliar with Operation Condor, it was the installing of national security dictatorships across Latin America in the 60s and 70s. To crush dissent and opposition, these states engaged in systematic torture, assassination and forced disappearances. The death toll in Argentina alone stands at 30,000 according to the National Security Archive.

Unsurprisingly, this happened with the guidance and insistence of the U.S. government. Now known through declassified transcripts, when the Argentine military launched a coup in 1976, then Sec. of State Henry Kissinger was told to expect “probably a good deal of blood, in Argentina before too long” and to wait before backing the new military junta, yet Kissinger replied it was “in our interest” and that “they need a little encouragement from us.”

Just as it was then, installing right-wing, pro-business governments in Latin America is in the best “interest” of the U.S. The U.S. has become so isolated from its own backyard, its planners had to make a concession to maintain its earliest foreign policy strategy, the Monroe Doctrine.

Thus, President Barack Obama’s thawing of relations with Cuba. This is only a stop-gap measure, as surely there is a plan to restore proU.S. cohesion on the continent. Thankfully resistance is strong here in Argentina and will not disappear anytime soon, much to the chagrin of U.S. officials. luwrobin@umail.iu.edu

NO HOT TAKES

Fight, flight or freeze Accompanying unsolicited questions about lack of clothing and alcohol consumption, survivors of sexual assault and rape are often asked why they didn’t do anything to stop their attacker.

That a person amid danger could freeze up and involuntarily release control is scary and difficult for most people to wrap their mind around. But it’s a naturally occurring response that we forget to talk about when dealing with assault. Adopting the freeze response into the conversation will help explain misconceptions about rape and sexual assault and lessen the stigma toward those who’ve faced it.

Many psychologists understand the binary fightor-flight response as old and not explanatory for cases where victims freeze. In a 2015 Washington Post article, James Hopper, Ph.D., explains the freeze response is “a brain-based response to detecting danger, especially a predator’s attack. Think deer in the headlights.”

While the body is prepared to attack or flee, when freezing occurs, “neither fight nor flight necessarily follows,” he writes.

Acknowledging assault in terms of the freeze response can stop the people from imagining a hierarchy of sexual assault and rape, which labels attacks by opportunistic predators as real crimes and attacks by lovers, friends or acquaintances as less serious.

Data updated in 2015 from the National Sexual Violence Resource Center found that in eight out of 10 cases of rape, the victim and assailant previously knew each other.

That means the vast majority of cases deal with survivors who had an established relationship with their attackers as opposed to those

Pence’s private emails found Former governor’s private email server makes him look hypocritical The Republican ticket for the 2016 presidential race ran on the premise that its opponent, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, was corrupt.

Clinton was characterized as such largely because of her ongoing email controversy, in which the politician used a private email server when conducting official government business.

Now Vice President Mike Pence faces a scandal similar to the one that had people chanting “lock her up” at GOP campaign rallies, and it makes the White House look hypocritical.

The Indianapolis Star reported Friday that Pence routinely used a private email account for public business while serving as Indiana governor and was hacked last summer.

The vice president used his personal AOL account to communicate with top advisers in Indiana politics on matters deemed confidential by the state, according to

Julia Bourkland is a sophomore in philosophy and political science.

assaulted by a stranger lurking in the middle of the night.

Think about how realistic it would be for a victim to use the fight-or-flight response if attacked by someone they knew.

Think about how strange and shocking it would be to experience the normalcy of a human relationship replaced by a criminal overstepping of boundaries. Unfortunately many, including victims, aren’t able to comprehend this.

Hopper writes that victims “blame themselves for ‘failing’ to resist. They feel ashamed,” according to the Post. “They may tell no one, even during an investigation.

Sadly, many investigators and prosecutors still don’t know some or all of these brain-based responses.”

Freezing out of shock or fear is a justified reaction.

When we begin to accept the freeze response as common, we’ll start to understand reactions to sexual assault and rape better and take all cases of these crimes more seriously.

For the assault cases where victims flee or fight back, there will be many more where victims will freeze.

The ordinariness of the response is evident not only in the psychology of danger but also in our culture’s tendency to wonder why the victim did nothing to stop it.

Next time you hear of a sexual assault or rape report, stop yourself from stooping to skepticism over the survivor’s response or pointing out what she or he failed to do. Refining your thinking will lessen the blame placed on sexual assault victims in the long run. jsbourkl@umail.iu.edu

Tony Cook at the IndyStar.

The Editorial Board believes the inarguable parallels between Pence and Clinton’s email scandals as well as lacking transparency by the former governor make Pence and the current administration undoubtedly hypocritical.

While Pence spent a lot of time criticizing Clinton for increasing her risk of being hacked with a private server, Pence actually was hacked.

Specifically, by a scammer who sent a mass email to Pence’s contacts claiming the former governor and his wife were stranded in the Philippines and in desperate need of cash, according to the IndyStar.

Among the 13 boxes of emails Pence’s team turned over to the Indiana Statehouse Friday was information as relatively benign as issues pertaining to the Indiana Governor’s Residence to matters as confidential as security and the Islamic State.

Although Pence claims there is “no comparison” between his case and Clinton’s, the use of a private account to handle confidential government information displays laziness on behalf of the former governor.

Not to mention this practice is much less secure than the appropriate government email accounts.

Indiana law prohibiting government officials from using email accounts has been historically interpreted to mean that state business done through personal emails must be retained for public record. Pence’s personal emails were not immediately caught on state servers to be retained for public record, creating a transparency issue for Hoosiers.

Pence criticized Clinton on the campaign trail for her email use many times over.

In an interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press” last year, Pence claimed Clinton was

escaping transparency and accountability.

“What’s evident from all of the revelations over the last several weeks is that Hillary Clinton operated in such a way to keep her emails, and particularly her interactions while Secretary of State with the Clinton Foundation, out of the public reach, out of public accountability,” Pence said in the interview.

Pence did just this by denying Indiana residents timely access to transparent public records by not immediately turning over all emails.

Pence was irresponsible, lazy and not transparent by using a private email account as Indiana governor and his hypocritical actions will taint the current administration’s image as well as leave Hoosiers retroactively questioning his efficacy as governor with this unearthed information.

Any claim by his team that Pence’s activity was justified while not granting Clinton the same courtesy is hypocritical.

CONVERSATIONS WITH KATE

Scientist names moth after President Trump A newly discovered species of moth was recently christened “Neopalpa donaldtrumpi,” not only because the yellow scales that crown the moth’s head resemble Donald Trump’s characteristic hairstyle, but because species naming has become a political statement.

Evolutionary biologist Vazrick Nazari chose this name as a creative response to President Trump’s not merely lacking, but openly antagonistic, environmental policy — a last-ditch effort to make him take an interest in endangered wildlife.

Policymakers need to privilege biodiversity over monolithic agendas that ignore long-term environmental consequences.

The threatened moth’s habitat straddles the southern California border and extends farther south into the Baja California Peninsula of Mexico. The border, while a potent marker of human national

divisions, signifies nothing to the fauna that dwell in its proximity. The construction of a border wall would exact an immense environmental toll and would accelerate extinctions on both sides of the border.

House speaker Paul Ryan and a cohort of fellow lawmakers toured the southern border in a helicopter about two weeks ago, surveying the landscape from altitudes much higher than a moth will ever reach.

The aerial view shows the lay of the land, but wildlife remains invisible to the human eye from such lofty heights.

According to a preliminary report from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the proposed border wall would disrupt the habitats of 111 endangered or threatened species and interfere with the routes of 108 varieties of migratory birds.

The report contains a litany of names, some exotic, some familiar, some with

traditional Latinate names, and some named for celebrities.

Scrolling through the 33page bureaucratic register feels interminable, like reading a memorial for something not yet gone.

As the newly classified “Neopalpa donaldtrumpi” reveals, countless species remain unidentified and unnamed. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s estimates are likely gross underestimates when we take into account species not yet identified or classified as at-risk.

Current biodiversity is not even completely measurable, and scientists’ estimates of the total number of species in the world vary by tens of millions.

Although “endangered” designates a species seriously at risk of extinction, endangerment is often trivialized.

Yet, extinctions remain not only real, but increasingly rapid in the face of urbanization and globalization.

Kaitlynn Milvert is a senior in English.

Furthermore, the classification of a species as endangered does not guarantee any legal protections. The only legal obligation under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 is that proposed federal projects review their potential effects on endangered species and evaluate ways to minimize the detriment.

As a result, current policy only perpetuates a cycle in which newly threatened species replace now-extinct ones on the federal register. Government agencies should instead assess the environmental effects of projects before species make it onto the endangered species list.

In other words, Trump needs to save his moth. Preserving biodiversity is crucial for species both known and unknown. kmilvert@umail.iu.edu

for lice.

Combs still does the disaster prep and the lice checks.

But that’s only half the job now because two years ago, everything she knew about her work changed. In February 2015, 30 people were diagnosed with HIV in Austin, Indiana, a city of about 4,000 people. Just one month later, the number rose to 55. Within a year, nearly 190 people had tested positive for HIV. The Centers for Disease Control called it the worst outbreak in the United States in at least two decades. HIV infection rates in Scott County have rivaled those in sub-Saharan Africa.

Scott County has the highest early death rate in Indiana. The coroner orders autopsies for about 90 percent of deaths. Even with the prevalence of naloxone, which keeps many overdoses from becoming fatalities, plenty of people in Austin die from their heroin addiction.

They are often young. Those mourning them are usually young, too, and at risk of dying next.

“This town has been through far too much in the last two years,” Combs said. “I don’t know what else I can do besides going out there and just asking what they need.”

Now Combs runs the county’s needle exchange, handing out packages of clean syringes and disposing of used ones in the hopes of keeping the HIV epidemic contained. Combs can’t cure HIV, reverse an overdose or bring the dead back to life, but she’s doing her best to slow it all down.

“The drug-using population in Austin has been neglected for so long,” said Jackie Crane, Scott County’s second public health nurse who usually rides with Combs in the needle exchange van. “And Brittany was really the first person to take her concern for what was happening to them and put it into real action.”

In Austin, about 500 people are enrolled in the needle exchange program and about 200 people have HIV. But in the first year of the outbreak, there were 188 HIV diagnoses; that number has risen to only 215 since the needle exchange began in April 2015.

Thanks to Combs’ work, the spread of HIV has nearly stopped. * * * Combs grew up in Scott County and still lives here on 10 acres of land with her husband and two children.

Her husband works for the local gas company. Her son is 8 and her daughter is 6.

In the semifinals of the ninth-place bout, Danishek dominated in a 7-1 win over 13-seed Justin Alexander of Maryland, setting up a match with 11-seed Jake Ryan of Ohio State for a spot in this year’s NCAA Championships.

Danishek took shot after shot trying to get takedowns, and Ryan’s defense held tough through regulation.

After the first seven minutes, the score was tied at one and the match was headed to sudden victory.

With his high school

would mean trawling slowly down pothole-ridden streets to look for addicts. Her husband worries she might get hurt. She is so busy that she doesn’t know who is going to stay home with her kids when they’re too sick for school.

Combs has become consumed by the needle exchange. She read that the relapse rate for heroin addicts is about 80 percent. She learned that fentanyl and opana, also opioids, were flooding the county, too. She listened to people say that before they could get clean needles, they would use a syringe up to 300 times, filing it down sharper and smaller until it broke off in their arm.

“Nobody in their right mind would do that to themselves,” Combs said. “When you hear those stories or see that happen, that’s what’s hard to get out of your head.”

Combs doesn’t pretend that all her clients are getting clean. She takes the used needles, hands over the new ones and leaves.

She goes home and tries to forget what she has seen.

She plays with her dog. She helps her kids with their math homework. Sometimes they ask her about her job.

“Mommy helps people who are very sick,” Combs tells them. She does not get more specific.

Combs is exhausted. She keeps forgetting to move the bins of dirty needles out of the back of the van. The naloxone kits she ordered weeks ago still aren’t here. She runs out of clean needles in the middle of a trip. She hears that someone else has overdosed. She watches a police car drive by and knows it’s following her van.

“Looks like they’re on a mission,” she says to Crane, who is sitting in the passenger seat. “Maybe one of these days we should follow them.”

Crane tells another story about the city’s treasurer badmouthing the needle exchange. He stood up at a public meeting in front of the rest of the city council and some representatives from the health department. He said what Combs was doing was making Austin’s drug addiction problem worse.

Combs is sure she’s making things better, but she wishes she could do more.

She helps some addicts once and then never sees them again. She doesn’t know if that means they’ve gotten clean or if they’ve overdosed and died. She begs strangers to get tested monthly for HIV. She wishes she had the time to drive someone to a rehab center each time they inevitably ask.

One Friday last fall, she got out of the van and slammed the door shut behind her. For a second she stood alone inside the health department building.

A man had overdosed earlier, and the people with him had not wanted to call an ambulance. He would later die in the hospital.

“I am so tired of going to funerals,” she said.

* * * Not even Indiana’s governor wanted Scott County to try stopping HIV’s spread with a needle exchange.

Until the approval of Scott County’s program, all needle exchanges in Indiana were against the law. Possessing a syringe without a prescription was a crime. Former Gov. Mike Pence, now the vice president, said that passing out needles encouraged addicts. It took a year of watching the HIV epidemic spread, a year of health experts around the country growing more and more alarmed and nearly 200 diagnoses before Pence decided Scott County could give it a try.

Even at the local level, addiction in Austin is viewed as a crime, not a disease. Combs herself thought at first that a needle exchange wouldn’t work.

“I’m a nurse, so I know addiction is a health problem,” Combs said. “But I still wondered whether a needle exchange would just enable people.”

Despite the program’s progress fighting HIV, many are still suspicious of it and the people it aims to help.

A mailman in Austin calls Combs personally every time he sees a needle in a ditch.

A couple sits on their porch, next to the houses of those struggling with addiction. When asked about the needle exchange, they say they don’t want their tax dollars to pay for drug habits.

They gripe that legal punishments for drug users aren’t tough enough.

“Druggies and hookers walking up and down the street all day and night,” the man says. “That’s all we ever see here now.”

The local police chief didn’t respond to interview requests from the Indiana Daily Student, but the receptionist at the police department’s front desk laughed when asked about the needle exchange.

“Now, there’s a big ordeal,” she said. “That’s not going over too well.”

Austin clerk-treasurer Chris Fugate keeps standing up at meetings to denounce Combs’ work. He argues that the needle exchange doesn’t deserve the credit for preventing the spread of HIV. “I think HIV just ran out of drug users to infect,” Fugate says. “I think it stayed within those circles, and nobody else has been exposed since they’ve been infected.”

CDC studies show, however, that needle exchanges are the most efficient way to stop diseases spread through needle sharing.

It seemed to Fugate that filling the market with even more needles would just make things worse.

“And quite frankly, I don’t think these people care if they’re using clean needles,” he says. “They will beg, borrow, steal, whatever just to get their high. So if they don’t care if they get HIV, I don’t know.”

His voice trails off. * * * One evening in late December, Combs walked into Buchanan Funeral Home yet again. It was the fourth visitation she had attended that year for an addict she knew.

Combs didn’t recognize many of the people who had come to pay their respects., but she knew the man they were mourning — a shy man she had known for a year and a half, who visited the van. He was in his late 20s. He usually showed up at the needle exchange van with his brother.

Combs looked around the funeral parlor, filled with flowers and photos.

In some of the photos, the man was hunting with his brother and other relatives. She hadn’t known that he liked to hunt, that he even knew how.

The room was full of people. Many were friends, all young, some in danger of overdosing like him. Combs heard someone say the man’s two kids were here. She looked at the few small children and wondered which were his.

When Combs saw the flowers, the photos, the mourners, the children, she knew, suddenly, that even though she had known the man for a year and a half, his

whole life had been hidden from her. He had been more than addiction. He had been loved.

Combs walked up to the open casket. She didn’t look at his arms or his hands or his feet. She kept her eyes on his face. * * * Kevin Collins was Scott County’s coroner until 2012, but when overdose deaths began flooding the morgue, he quit.

“You start to get callous when you see it so often,” he said. “You start to think, ‘It’s just another drughead.’”

He didn’t want to stop thinking of them as mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, and he could find no way to stop the endless march of death or the erosion of his own capacity to care. So he left.

He has been relieved, he said, to see the needle exchange picking up speed. He thinks the city should try everything possible to keep the bodies of young, addicted, infected people off the coroner’s cold table. * * * Another Friday afternoon, another afternoon in the heart of the epidemic.

Skatzka got off to a strong start by defeating nine-seed Micah Barnes from Nebraska, 10-4, to advance to the quarterfinals with a bout against one-seed Bo Jordan of Ohio State.

Skatzka had a 7-4 lead after two periods against Jordan but was unable to complete the upset and surrendered two takedowns in the final period.

But on this February afternoon, Combs is parked on Paulanna Avenue and can’t figure out why nobody is coming outside.

She squints through her glasses and twists around to look behind the van. Nobody.

She sees one frequent client on a nearby sidewalk, but instead of stopping, he tugs the hood of his sweatshirt up onto his head and jogs away.

“What is he running from?” Combs asks. “What’s going on?”

She glances around again and then she sees it, in a nearby driveway — a black police car with an officer watching.

Combs ignores the officer. She walks briskly to the back of the van and opens the trunk. Slowly, uncertainly, her people show up. Some emerge from the abandoned garage. Some climb out of a nearby car. Many are looking over their shoulder toward the patrol car still idling nearby.

dium in his first appearance at the Big Ten Championships and a berth to NCAAs. *** The Hoosiers’ leader, 184-pound senior Nate Jackson, entered the tournament as a three seed.

Jackson dominated his first match by securing seven takedowns, an escape point and four back points in less than two periods, leading to a 19-3 tech fall victory over Idris White of Maryland.

In his next match, the quarterfinals, Jackson defeated six-seed Emery Parker of Illinois, 6-4, but with consequence. In the last minute of action, Parker got aggressive

with a move, and the ref was unable to stop action in time before Jackson’s knee was hurt.

“It was disappointing in the quarters when the guy at the end of the match got a little overaggressive and the ref was not able to stop it in time,” Goldman said. “It’s not too serious I don’t think and I think he will be ready for Nationals.”

Despite the injury, Jackson gave it a go in the semifinals against two-seed Sammy Brooks but was unable to come away with the victory.

Due to the injury, Jackson was kept out of competition on day two, forfeited his matches and came away with a sixth-place finish.

The team has preached improvement all season long to get to this point, and the use of the Big Ten Championships gives them an imitation of what the NCAA Championships bring.

“It gives me a smaller imitation,” Oliver said. “It’s a smaller mini-tournament as far as having a lot of people and getting all those matches in. It’s definitely an advantage for us Big Ten wrestlers.”

Eric Rasmusen, a professor in the Kelley School of Business, said if the IU researcher in question, Debomoy Lahiri, wanted to stay out of jail, the University could request University of Washington not send remains derived from aborted fetuses.

“Why doesn’t IU just tell them to give you miscarriage parts, not abortion parts, and save us all the money we incur by filing a lawsuit, especially when Planned Parenthood is already suing, so IU’s participation is not all that important for the objective Planned Parenthood is seeking?”

Rasmusen said.

Late-game letdown Hoosiers ousted after first game of Big Ten Tournament despite having halftime lead

BOBBY GODDIN | IDS

IU huddles up before the start of the second half against Purdue on Friday in Bankers Life Fieldhouse. The Hoosiers lost to the Boilermakers 66-60 in the Big Ten Tournament.

By Josh Eastern jeastern@indiana.edu | @JoshEastern

I

NDIANAPOLIS — With IU’s NCAA Tournament hopes riding on the final result, Friday’s game was one the Hoosiers could ill afford to lose.

It was one of the best starts imaginable. IU played solid defense, clean offense and had momentum.

Against a team of Purdue Boilermakers playing its second game in as many days, the Hoosiers couldn’t have asked for much more. Everything clicked for IU until, all of a sudden, it didn’t.

After leading by 17 points, IU couldn’t hold on in the second half and fell out of the Big Ten Tournament with a 66-60 loss to Purdue at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

Junior guard Tyra Buss said there was a stark change in the way IU played after halftime.

“I think we just were careless with the ball in the second half, especially the start of the third quarter,” Buss said. “We just didn’t come out with the energy we had in the first half.”

During the week, IU Coach Teri Moren said her team was getting up a lot of shots in order to avoid an offensive funk.

The shooting percentage on the road for IU hasn’t been anything to brag about lately. In the early going Friday, it was. At halftime, the Hoosiers were shooting 50 percent both overall and from 3-point range.

IU’s big three of Buss, junior forward Amanda Cahill and senior guard Alexis Gassion paced the Hoosiers early on.

Buss had four first-half 3-pointers as part of her 14 first-half points. The Hoosiers led by 15 at the intermission, and it looked like nothing was going to stop

this team from moving onto the Big Ten Tournament semifinals.

Purdue, on the other hand, wasn’t going down without a fight. Its fight showed in the second half, and the Boilermakers senior guard Ashley Morrissette said her coach Sharon Versyp was the key to sparking the team.

“Coach came during halftime, and she gave us a choice: Go home or come out and win or come out, have some pride on defense,” Morrissette said. ”Purdue is known for defense. In that first half we had

“We just didn’t hit shots. We really didn’t.

We had great looks. The third quarter… we shoot 12 percent. We’re 2-for-17. We got the shots. We just didn’t hit them, and that’s the frustrating thing.”

Teri Moren, IU coach

very little. So I think that’s a big reason everybody responded.”

Once the second half started, it was a different story. The shots that were once falling for IU were not. The shots that weren’t falling for Purdue started to fall. On the defensive end, Purdue switched one through four and caused IU some trouble. The Hoosiers couldn’t get into the lane and into the post for senior forward Jenn Anderson. That disrupted the flow IU had in the first half.

Buss’ first half was impressive, but her second half was not. She scored just two points in the second 20 minutes, and that bucket came with 2:11 left in the

game.

Once things started going awry, Moren said the game plan was to continue to attack and get to the free throw line.

That plan didn’t work either. Because of Purdue’s change in game plan, IU was suddenly running into issues. IU went more than seven minutes scoreless in the third quarter while Purdue ripped off a 16-2 run.

“We just didn’t hit shots. We really didn’t. We had great looks,” Moren said. “The third quarter… we shoot 12 percent. We’re 2-for-17. We got the shots.

We just didn’t hit them, and that’s the frustrating thing.”

As bad as the third quarter was, IU still had a lead entering the final quarter of play. Purdue tied it up at the 7:09 mark, but IU still was able to keep the score in its favor. As the quarter kept progressing, the game slipped away. Shots kept falling for the Boilermakers while shots weren’t falling for IU. The Hoosiers scored 39 points in the first half and just 21 total in the second half. That was the difference.

The Hoosiers are now in a bit of a waiting game until selection Monday on March 13. Moren said she thinks the Hoosiers have scheduled well enough to earn an NCAA Tournament bid.

She also tried to talk up the Big Ten and lobbied to give the conference an extra bid or two.

Regardless, IU had a chance to control its own destiny and couldn’t take advantage. Moren ultimately acknowledged the uncertainty her team faces due to the loss, saying she truly didn’t know whether the Hoosiers would end up on the right or wrong side of the bubble.

“I would like to think that 20 wins in a really good conference, 10-6, getting the double bye here this afternoon, on paper looks good, I think,” Moren said.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

IU wins final regular season game in shootout

By Zain Pyarali zpyarali@iu.edu | @ZainPyarali

96-92 COLUMBUS, Ohio — During the season, no lead has been safe for IU men’s basketball. Saturday afternoon at Ohio State wasn’t any different.

At the under-12-minute media timeout in the first half, the Hoosiers had missed just two shots and had a commanding 17-point lead against the Buckeyes.

IU took a 14-point lead into the half with four starters already in double figures.

In the second half, the Buckeyes battled back, and the Hoosiers let their oncesizable lead slip away, but IU wouldn’t let this game get away on the final day of the regular season.

The Hoosiers executed down the stretch and pieced together a key run when they needed to and edged out the Buckeyes, 96-92, to end the regular season at 17-14 overall and 7-11 in the Big Ten. “I’m proud of the way our players played,” IU Coach Tom Crean said. “Their engagement was high. Eight o’clock this morning, we could have tipped it off then, and those guys would have been ready to go. They were fantastic.”

IU couldn’t have asked for a better start offensively Saturday at Value City Arena. The Hoosiers scored on 92 percent of their possessions in the first seven minutes of the game and only committed one turnover.

aided Johnson in the first half, and the Hoosiers moved the ball efficiently, which led to open looks from everywhere on the court.

“They were making tough shots and hitting threes, and that kind of killed us,” Ohio State sophomore guard C.J. Jackson said. “We knew that they were a good team that could make shots, and that started off early.”

The Hoosiers shot 65 percent in the first half. Sophomore center Thomas Bryant also had 14 points to join the trio of junior guards in double-digit scoring.

IU’s blistering shooting percentage in the first half would only get the Hoosiers so far because they came out flat to start the second half.

Ohio State used a 22-7 run and made eight of 11 shots out of the halftime to take a 62-61 lead with under 12 minutes to play.

However, the Buckeye lead didn’t last long. With the game tied and fewer than nine minutes to play, Johnson caught fire once again.

A jumper and a 3-pointer

by Johnson on back-to-back possessions extended the IU lead to five. Sophomore

forward Juwan Morgan built off Johnson’s play by going on a 5-0 run by himself to boost the IU lead back to 10.

“It was good for our guys to see that we could make the stops when we needed,” Crean said. “They were really locked in. The first step on defense and the ball movement were great. They never brought any panic and showed tremendous confidence.”

IU was able to maintain its lead down the stretch and didn’t turn the ball over in key situations like the Hoosiers have all year. Johnson

Robert Johnson breaks out of slump

By Andrew Hussey aphussey@indiana.edu @thehussnetwork

COLUMBUS, Ohio — The slump finally ended for junior guard Robert Johnson.

After struggling with his shooting for the past month, Johnson exploded Saturday in the last regular season game for IU men’s basketball.

Johnson’s game-high 26 points helped IU close out the regular season on a high note by beating Ohio State, 96-92, at Value City Arena.

“You could say that he was due, and you would be right,” IU Coach Tom Crean said.

“It’s just an anomaly that he has not played as well with his shooting.”

Johnson made his first six shots of the afternoon. Three of those shots came from beyond the arc.

“I think my teammates did a good job of finding me and getting me involved early,” Johnson said. “I just wanted to come out aggressive and try to attack.”

Since scoring 27 points in a triple-overtime victory against Penn State in early February, Johnson had gone 20 of 67 from the field.

In his last four games, Johnson missed 17 of his last 20 shots from three, but against Ohio State, he made five of eight from deep.

Through Johnson’s dry spell in

GREG GOTTFRIED | IDS

Junior guard Robert Johnson attacks the rim in the first half against Ohio State. The Hoosiers shot more than 60 percent from the field in the first 20 minutes. The Hoosiers defeated the Buckeyes 96-92.

February, his teammates said they remained confident in Johnson’s abilities.

“None of us were worried about his shot at all,” junior guard James Blackmon Jr. said. “So today felt like we all were in movement, he was in movement and he was just in a flow.”

Johnson was an integral part of one of the best IU offensive efforts in months, as his six assists were also a team-high.

The Hoosiers shot 58.6 percent from the field and made 12 threes against the Buckeyes, in part because of the strong ball movement of Johnson and

company.

“I think I was just in the flow of things, offensively and defensively,” Johnson said. “I think I had the right mindset today from start to finish.”

During his recent struggles, Johnson was prone to turning the ball over. For the first time since the Jan. 21 victory against Michigan State, Johnson had zero turnovers Saturday. He had been averaging more than three turnovers a game in the last nine contests.

Ohio State Coach Thad Matta had high praise for Johnson but said the slump-busting performance was nothing new

for a Buckeye opponent.

“We’re a get-well card for guys,” Matta said. “You’re struggling? Play Ohio State and get out of your slump.”

Johnson can break through his struggles right at the perfect time for the Hoosiers, with IU headed into the Big Ten Tournament next week.

“Really happy for him because that’s the kind of player that he is,” Crean said of Johnson. “It’s unfortunate that’s not always seen when he’s missing some shots. He’s a humble guy. He’s a team guy. It was absolutely fun to watch him play today.”

BASEBALL

IU drops rubber match at Samford on Sunday afternoon From IDS Reports

IU’s sluggish start to the season continued as the Hoosiers dropped two of three ball games in Birmingham, Alabama, to Samford this weekend to fall to 4-6-1.

The Bulldogs, now 5-5, claimed the rubber match Sunday and defeated the Hoosiers 5-3 while outhitting the visitors 10-7.

Seven Hoosiers got into the hit column, but not a single one was able to record multiple hits in the final game of the series, and once again, the team struggled to rack up hits in bunches.

IU went 2-18 with runners on base, 2-13 with runners in scoring position and 1-9 with two outs. The Bulldogs, on the other hand, went 6-14 with

two outs.

Getting on base to start innings wasn’t an issue for the Hoosiers, who saw five of nine leadoff batters reach base. The problem that has stuck with the team thus far this season has been converting on these opportunities when runners are on base.

IU left 11 batters stranded on base during the game, eight of which were left in scoring position.

Sophomore pitcher Stephen Jones picked up the win for Samford, pitching five strong innings and giving up four hits and just one run, which was unearned.

On IU’s side, freshman pitcher Andrew Saalfrank earned the first official decision of his college career in the loss. He also lasted five innings

and gave up four hits; however, he allowed two earned runs and three total.

Senior pitcher Luke Stephenson returned from a day-to-day injury, a blister on his finger that had sidelined him since his last appearance against Gonzaga on Feb. 19.

He was only able to record one out but loaded the bases and allowed Samford’s fifth run to score on a bases-loaded hit by pitch. Junior Austin Foote entered the game to relieve Stephenson and escaped the jam by forcing a fly out, then a strikeout.

Samford junior Wyatt Burns collected his fourth save of the year in a long outing for a close. The righty finished with 2.2 innings pitched and struck out three Hoosiers, including setting down IU

junior right fielder Logan Sowers then sophomore catcher Ryan Fineman consecutively to end the ballgame.

IU’s bats were on fire to begin the series and the team scored double-digit runs in a convincing 10-5 win Friday in the weekend’s opener.

The Hoosiers were in prime position to clinch the series victory Saturday afternoon when they got off to a 5-0 lead over the Bulldogs. But, Samford chipped away starting in the sixth inning and went home with a 6-5 victory after a walk off three-run home run .

After dropping the rubber match Sunday, IU returns to the field Tuesday in Evansville, Indiana, as it takes on the Evansville Purple Aces.

Spencer Davis

said limiting turnovers is one of the main points for them down the stretch if they want to string some wins together.

The IU starters accounted for 93 of IU’s 96 points Saturday. A lone 3-pointer from freshman guard Devonte Green was the extent of the bench production. Johnson led IU in scoring with 26 points while connecting on five of eight from beyond the arc, and Blackmon Jr. added 22 of his own.

With the win Saturday, IU leapfrogged Ohio State to get to 10th place in the Big Ten

standings. Nebraska’s loss at Michigan on Sunday guranteed IU a first round bye in the Big Ten Tournament, and the Hoosiers will face the No. 7 seed Iowa Hawkeyes on Thursday.

IU faced Iowa once earlier in the season, and lost the matchup at Iowa, 96-90, on Feb. 21 in overtime.

The Hoosiers are confident they can be difference makers in Washington, D.C., next week.

“With a team like us, we can get hot fast,” Blackmon Jr. said. “It can be a start to a run if we all buy in.”

GOTT TAKES

IU finally wins on the road after early lead against Ohio State COLUMBUS, Ohio — They nearly did it again.

Eleven. That’s how many points the Hoosiers led by after the first 138 seconds Saturday.

Three 3-pointers by the junior guard trifecta of James Blackmon Jr., Robert Johnson and Josh Newkirk accompanied by a Blackmon layup put IU in the driver’s seat.

It should have been heartening with the Hoosiers up by double-digits for the majority of the first half, but anyone who has watched IU men’s basketball this season was far from comfortable.

Iowa.

Minnesota.

Many a game this year saw the Hoosiers take an early lead and fumble it away with careless passes and lackluster defense.

The question wasn’t whether or not IU, leading by 14 going into the second half against Ohio State, would blow the lead. Instead, it was how the Hoosiers would do it.

On Saturday, it was the defense that nearly did the Hoosiers in.

A 10-0 run by the Buckeyes closed the gap in the second half, and Thad Matta’s crew eventually took the lead.

It was going to happen again. The Hoosiers came out firing on all cylinders but would peter out in another devastating loss.

The column had written itself.

“Hoosiers repeat their mistakes, and we’ve all had enough.”

That column never came to fruition.

Instead of dying out, the Hoosiers fought back.

They didn’t shoot 64.7 percent from the field like they did in the first half, but they scratched and clawed and emerged from the muck with a much-needed 96-92 victory in the regular season finale.

It would have been admirable if it wasn’t their own mistakes that nearly sunk them in the first

place.

There are positives to be found for sure.

Sophomore forward Juwan Morgan attacked the rim like he was possessed, and the Hoosier bench came to life late in the game with an energy that was absent to start the second half.

IU had the free-throw advantage in the last 20 minutes, a concept that has been foreign to Hoosier faithful lately.

It took every bit of vigor, a bit of luck and the vital resurgence of Johnson and his 26 points, but the Hoosiers won on the road.

There were so many caveats, of course, as this Hoosier season has been wont to elicit.

Ohio State is also in a down year. The Hoosiers needed to shoot better than 50 percent from behind the arc to take down the Buckeyes.

IU’s defense can still be found on a milk carton underneath the word “missing.”

However, the Hoosiers did enough to win Saturday in Value City Arena.

IU now sits at 17-14, 10th place in the Big Ten and a near lock for the NIT. This is a phenomenal drop from where they were expected to be at this time, but we all know that by now.

What we can further analyze is how the team is improving.

This time they didn’t give up. This time, the Hoosiers were the team winning a back-and-forth game.

This time, it was the IU players smiling in the postgame handshake line. This time they did it.

The Hoosiers finally realized they had to play all 40 minutes to win. gigottfr@indiana.edu @gott31

Hoosiers win fourth in a row

By Dylan Wallace dswallac@iu.edu @Dwall_1

For the first time this season, IU Coach Ramiro Azcui had all nine players at his disposal for the Hoosiers’ final dual match before conference play. But even with a full lineup, things started out a little shaky.

In their first match against West Virginia, the Hoosiers dropped all three doubles matches to the Mountaineers, giving WVU a 1-0 advantage.

Despite things starting out shaky, the Hoosiers were not thrown off. Seniors Kim Schmider and Paula Gutierrez and sophomore Natalie Whalen won their singles matches to put the team up 3-1. The Mountaineers cut it to 3-2 before sophomore Caitlin Bernard scored an 8-6 tiebreaker in her second set

ADELINA JUSUF | IDS

IU freshmen Emma Love and Anna McCoy lost their doubles match against West Virginia on Saturday in the IU Tennis Center.

to clinch the match. IU won 4-3.

“I don’t think we came with the same energy in the doubles that we usually come with,” Azcui said. “I told the team that they would have to be ready to play in singles and they accepted the challenge and played really strong.”

IU took that momentum

and carried it over to its second match two hours later against Southern IllinoisCarbondale and picked up a 7-0 victory.

This time around, all three of IU’s doubles teams won, and from there the singles were able to use the momentum and clinch the match.

“We knew we were go-

ing to be more tired in this second match,” Whalen said.

“But we wanted to stay focused and after getting that first win everyone played a lot more loosely. I think the confidence increased after that.”

After these two wins, the Hoosiers picked up their fourth consecutive victory and improved their record to 9-5 on the season.

Whalen said the team looks to use their momentum from these wins and carry it over into the Big Ten season.

The Hoosiers will travel to Iowa City this Saturday to take on the Hawkeyes and begin conference play.

“We knew that this was a big weekend for us in order to be able to go into the Big Ten,” Azcui said. “We’re excited to get ready for an Iowa team who is very good. I like the way the team responded today and I think we’re ready.”

Fans wearing cream and crimson gear covered the stands Sunday during the entire length of IU’s second matchup of the weekend.

They knew Sunday’s matchup had a different meaning than all the others of the season and conference.

It was their rivalry match.

On Sunday No. 37 IU came back from losing the doubles point to beat Purdue 4-3 at the IU Tennis Center after losing earlier in the weekend 4-0 to No. 18 Cornell at home.

IU Coach Jeremy Wurtzman said he thought his team was over-hitting the ball and making too many errors against Cornell.

“On Saturday we worked on our quality of ball and that lead into us playing really well against Purdue,” Wurtzman said.

The match began with a lot of intensity Sunday, but the Boilermakers were better at finalizing points in the doubles matches.

With wins at positions two and three, Purdue secured the doubles point and led the matchup 1-0 ahead of the matchup’s singles play.

Senior Stefan Lugonjic and sophomore Antonio Cembellin were playing well and leading at position one, but their match went unfinished after Purdue won the doubles point.

But No. 125 singles player Cembellin took the momentum from his good play in doubles to his singles match and led the

Hoosier comeback with a 6-4, 7-5 win at position one singles.

“It just shows how resilient we are,” Wurtzman said. “To lose a doubles point to a very good team, one of our biggest rivals, but it just shows that we can play with any of these teams and still come away with four singles points.”

Like Cembellin, senior Matthew McCoy, sophomore Oliver Sec and freshman Zac Brodney got victories playing at Nos. 3, 5 and 6 respectively.

McCoy and Sec won their matches in straight sets.

Brodney clinched IU’s ninth win of the season by winning his matchup in three sets 6-4, 2-6, 6-2.

“It is amazing,” Brodney said. “It is always good with the history of Purdue just to come up with a win and be there with my teammates because it is a team effort. Just use this as confidence going forward.”

Earlier in the weekend Friday, IU was host to No. 18 Cornell at the IU Tennis Center.

The Hoosiers battled at all positions but were not able to notch points in doubles and singles.

After Cornell won the doubles point and its three singles matches, they chose to not finish the remaining matches.

Up next for IU is a spring break road trip to California to face Texas Tech at San Diego on March 16.

“It is going to be a lot of fun,” Sec said. “A lot of our players are good outdoor players as well too, not just indoors. I think we are going to look for a big W out there.”
