For 150 years, generations of Indiana Daily Student staffers have made it their mission to bring the news to campus and the Bloomington community. We were there when Herman B Wells took over as president of the University, when the University celebrated its sesquicentennial and for all the NCAA championships. We were there when football Coach Terry Hoeppner died, when Lauren Spierer went missing and when Hannah Wilson was murdered. We've been there through it all. Our online archive and the University's archive could show all those stories millions of pages the IDS has printed in a century and a half. As of this semester, the IDS will cut three days of print in favor of semiweekly printing on Mondays and Thursdays and 24/7 online coverage. Despite the decrease in ink-on-paper news, our coverage will not waver. Our website, idsnews.com, will have fresh stories every day. We are making an active push to meet our audience where they are – social media. All of this means we are exploring different forms of storytelling to ensure we are telling all stories the best way we can. The IDS is as dedicated to keeping up our tradition of excellence as we were when we printed five days a week. I would even argue we are perhaps more dedicated. We want to deliver the news to our audience – you – where you are. Let us know what you think. Reach out to us with story ideas. This will be an interesting semester inside our newsroom and outside in the world. Let's tackle it together.
Many young players get an opportunity for playing time in first exhibition By Josh Eastern jeastern@umail.iu.edu | @JoshEastern
The youth movement is in full effect in Bloomington. At least, at Jerry Yeagley Field, it is. IU enters the 2017 season looking to replace former midfielder Tanner
Thompson, fill voids at goalkeeper and in the wide positions and provide depth to the squad as a whole. Coach Todd Yeagley went out and brought in the fourth-best recruiting class in the country, according to Top Drawer Soccer. Those young players provided
quality minutes as the Hoosiers earned a 3-1 win against the Xavier Musketeers in the first exhibition match of the season. “We got a lot of guys minutes tonight, that was one of the goals, just to

President McRobbie emphasizes diversity By Christine Stephenson cistephe@iu.edu | @cistephenson23
In an Aug. 16 school-wide email addressing the “deeply disturbing” protests in Charlottesville, Virginia organized by white nationalists, IU President Michael McRobbie stressed the importance of supporting students of all backgrounds. Although people in some parts of the country are speaking out against inclusive environments, IU is becoming increasingly diverse. The percentage of minority undergraduates has nearly doubled in the past 10 years, according to University Institutional EMILY ECKELBARGER | IDS
Citizens gathered at the Monroe County Courthouse on Sunday evening for a vigil and protest against recent events in Charlottesville, Virginia. Local leaders gave speeches urging attendees to be proactive in fighting against racism.

In this case, the term minority includes AfricanAmericans, Asian-Americans, Latinos, American Indians, Native Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders and all multiracial students. Following the pattern of a small but steady increase every year, the class of 2021 is expected to be the most diverse of all, said John Nieto-Phillips, vice provost for educational inclusion and diversity. He said this has been accomplished through academic programs, cultural centers on campus and an overall welcoming environment. “There is absolutely no room at IU for discrimination or harassment based on anyone’s actual or perceived race, color, religion, creed, sexual orientation, gender identity or national origin,”

Welcome Week officially began Aug. 16, and includes events such as CultureFest, RecFest and the IU Block Party. While the Block Party is usually a popular event for incoming students, this year the concert sold out for the
first time by selling 6,000 tickets total. This year the IU Block Party includes performances by official Indiana Pacers DJ Niko Flores, DJ Craze and Four Color Zack, rapper/singer Post Malone and DJ/ producer RL Grime. The Union Board is one of three sponsors for the event, in
addition to Residential Programs and Services and the Residence Hall Association. Union Board President Josh Thomas said each year Union Board and the other sponsors have the responsibility to provide a lineup of performers who are current and exciting to students. “IU has a smart music audi-

Council member questions and public comment at Tuesday night’s Bloomington city budget hearing revolved around one main sentiment: more police officers. Initially, Bloomington Police Department Chief Mike Diekhoff presented the 2018 fiscal year budget. He explained the differences in this year’s proposed budget, which included a request for two more officers, six new dispatch positions and a new civilian employee position. In addition to answering the city councilmembers’ questions about the requested budget items, he also explained how the department was working to be more effective with the resources they already had. “We really focus on technology in the cars to allow officers to do more on the street,” Diekhoff said. Despite their best efforts, he said the department’s dispatch was understaffed and BPD was down 11 positions in total. City Council President Susan Sandberg said she wanted to compliment the integrity of the department, but like other council members, also wanted to know

Kilroy’s Recess to open for 18-and-up crowd Samantha Hayes samahayn@umail.iu.edu @sammyymae
Kilroy’s Dunnkirk will reopen this month as Kilroy’s Recess, a new nightclub for patrons 18 and older. The new nightclub will be open at 10 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 23 with a show by an EDM DJ, SNBRN. “18-year-olds have nowhere to go,” Kilroy’s Director of Marketing Nicole Freeman said. “If you’re not involved in greek life and you don’t want to go to house parties, what can be an alternative option? A dance club.” The idea to transition from a bar to an 18-and-over nightclub stemmed from a partnership with IU’s Kelley School of Business, Freeman said. As their semester-long project, marketing classes thought of ways to rebrand Kilroy’s Dunnkirk when the idea for an 18-and-over club transpired. The bar has been undergoing renovations on and off over the last year. Research shows that electronic dance music is the most popular among college-

aged adults right now, Freeman said. Focusing on this trend, improvements like a brand-new sound system and a $40,000 light show have been installed to create a fun environment for club-goers. “I go out a lot and my
friends and I go to a lot of EDM shows,” junior Cecily Dronebarger said. “They’re a great time.” However, in an emailed statement, Mayor John Hamilton said he does not support the age change at the
new club. “I am deeply concerned about a large, 18-and-over club, especially one located next to one of the highestgrossing college bars in the nation and practically on the front steps of Indiana Univer-
sity,” Hamilton said. “While I understand this may be a legal endeavor, personally, I don’t believe it is a good idea or in the best interest of public — especially student — safety.” Though this is a new proj-
ect for the owners of Kilroy’s, management has done extensive research and traveled across the country to observe other 18-and-over nightclubs. Freeman said they are working closely with both IU Chief of Police Laury Flint and Dean of Students Lori Reesor to take care of concerns as well as speaking to Mayor Hamilton about any issues. “Our main focus is providing a fun and safe environment that keeps people excited to go out,” Freeman said. The club will be using wristbands to distinguish between people under and over the age of 21 along with security throughout the club and in the bar area. Freeman also said students can look forward to live shows and events such as themed parties and DJ battles. The cover charge will vary depending on the day and the event, but on normal nights it will be between $5 and $10. While management completes the new website, more information can be found on the new nightclub and their upcoming events through Facebook, Twitter or Snapchat @kilroysrecess.
Student trustee offers fresh vision Sorority, fraternity members move into new houses Rebecca Ellis

From studying as an undergraduate at IU-Bloomington to working as graduate student in Muncie and now as a part of the administration, Zach Arnold has experienced many facets of IU. Arnold began his term as a student trustee on the IU Board of Trustees on July 1. He attended his first trustee meeting Aug. 10 and 11 and said it was a great experience that allowed him to bring his distinct perspective to the trustees. Arnold, a second-year medical student at the IU School of Medicine in Muncie, said his desire to become a trustee came from his experience at IUBloomington before grad school. “I had this incredibly positive experience at IU as an undergrad,” Arnold said. As a kid, Arnold said he came to the Bloomington campus for football and basketball games with his parents. This was his first experience with the University. However, he said attending IU as a student caused him to grow spiritually and emotionally as well, which was a very different experience. Arnold said he experienced this relationshipbuilding on the IU Student Foundation as they prepared for the Little 500. He said he sees being a trustee as a way of giving back to the campus that gave a lot to him. In attending a different IU campus than the main Bloomington campus for grad school, Arnold said the dual experience gives him a greater perspective as a trustee in seeing how things are run on a smaller IU campus as well as the

larger Bloomington campus. Arnold also said being the youngest trustee offers him a fresher perspective than some of the other trustees whose graduation dates were much less recent. “When you’re closer to the product that’s being put out, you see things that others don’t necessarily,” Arnold said. Arnold still has connection to Bloomington and the other IU campuses rather than just the Muncie campus, which furthers his perspective. “I still have an ear at each campus to see how things are going, and I get an honest perspective,” Arnold said. At the August meeting, Arnold said he brought a fresh perspective — especially in reference to the new Academic Health Center — which was approved by the trustees to go next to the IU golf course. The center will combine outpatient and inpatient services and health sciences education
and research. “There were just some logistics things that come from being at IU-Muncie,” Arnold said. He said he added input about the parking situation at this center and housing for the students who would be moving to Bloomington to study at the new academic health center. He said he also led discussion on what the board would do with the vacant buildings on the five other campuses once the Bloomington health center was opened. “It was an awesome experience,” Arnold said. “I can’t say enough about how much fun it was and how much I learned.” Arnold said he enjoyed seeing the work being done out of the public eye at the University and the love that the trustees have for IU. “Whether it’s publicly or behind-the-scenes, IU is always looking for a way to improve itself,” Arnold said. Arnold said the other trustees were very welcoming to him and that the ex-
perience is going to help him in his future. “I think it’s going to be a wonderful experience in building leadership skills and giving lessons about running an educational institution well,” Arnold said. In a press release, President Michael McRobbie spoke of the promise that Arnold brought to the trustees. “I am delighted for the opportunity to work with Zachary, whose appointment continues the practice of choosing IU’s most impressive students to provide a student perspective on the board,” McRobbie said. Arnold said he had plans for his future as a trustee in addressing how to make higher education more accessible and further adding value to IU’s education. However, Arnold said the one thing he always keeps in mind is that he wants to make IU continue to excel. “My goal in the future is what we can do to improve upon the product we’ve been given,” Arnold said.
While many students will move into residence halls and apartments this fall, others will live in their sorority or fraternity’s new home. Starting this year, several greek organizations on campus will experience housing changes. Theta Phi Alpha can hold all their functions this year in their new house located at 1431 N. Jordan Ave. After nearly six years on campus, the sorority will have a house after acquiring a newly renovated home from Delta Tau Delta. In January, Delta Tau Delta received a five-year suspension from their national chapter. The fraternity had recently invested nearly $600,000 in renovating the home from 2008 to 2013. Executive members from Theta Phi Alpha met with Delta Tau Delta in February to discuss acquiring the home which they finalized in March. Before this, Theta Phi Alpha was unhoused. Starting this fall, many members will live in a sorority house for the first time. Alpha Gamma Delta will be reopening its house this fall after a yearlong renovation. According to a press release from Alpha Gamma Delta Fraternity Housing Corporation, this house will include a library, a bike room, a senior wing, get-ready rooms and enough space to house 122 women. The changes to the house will provide the members with competitive housing, life-safety systems and an improved aesthetic, according to the release. Phi Kappa Sigma has a new house that they built off
campus due to a need for living space, according to a statement released by public relations chair Patrick Ford. They will be moving from their previous home located at 1708 N. Fee Lane into a house on 1000 Atwater Ave. The new home will have 21 bedrooms, as opposed to their old five-bedroom location. This fall, around 30 members will be living in the new home. Although Phi Kappa Sigma will be performing all of its functions out of the new Atwater Avenue location, the fraternity will be keeping the old location, with several members staying in the house. It will be kept in case the fraternity wants or needs to move back. The home was previously used by another fraternity, Sigma Alpha Mu, Ford said. After fraternity members heard about the property and the previous fraternity’s lease ending, Phi Kappa Sigma spoke to the landlord, who was interested in leasing to them due to the fraternity’s good behavior record with the University. Ford said he believes that the move into this 8,000-square-foot home will improve the fraternity over all and create a positive culture for its members. “It will give everyone a bigger sense of frat life on campus, even though we will be living off campus,” Ford said. “It’ll be good to have a central location for everyone to hang out at or study at. I’m confident that the quality of brotherhood will improve even more than it already was having this new location.” Jaden Amos

Messer launches senate bid From IDS reports
Rep. Luke Messer, R-6th District, officially embarked on his U.S. Senate campaign Saturday at the sixth annual Messer Family Barbecue in Morristown, Indiana. Messer is one of five candidates so far to announce their candidacy for the 2018 Republican primary. Republicans hope to unseat incumbent Democratic Sen. Joe Donnelly, who is vulnerable in a state President Trump carried by al-
most 19 percent in the 2016 general election. “Friends, it’s really pretty simple,” Messer said in his speech. “Hoosiers need two senators who will vote yes for Indiana’s working families.” He cited Donnelly’s health care voting record and accused him of not being genuine in his representation of his constituents. In May, Messer voted with a majority of House Republicans to pass a repeal of the Affordable Care Act. The vote took place before the
Congressional Budget Office released its analysis of the repeal bill’s effect. In a fundraising email Tuesday, Donnelly appeared to express anxiety about the race, citing a CNN story which named his seat the third most likely to flip in the 2018 election. Messer’s congressional district was previously represented by former Indiana governor and current Vice President Mike Pence. Greg Pence, the vice president’s brother, serves as the Messer
campaign’s finance chair and spoke at the barbecue. “Luke Messer is the only candidate who can unite our Party, defeat Joe Donnelly, and help President Trump and my brother Mike Pence deliver results for Hoosiers,” he said. Other contenders in the Republican primary include Rep. Todd Rokita, R-4th District, a fellow graduate of Wabash College in Crawfordsville, Indiana. Jesse Naranjo
State reclaims I-69 highway project By Katelyn Haas haask@umail.iu.edu | @khaas96
The long, winding I-69 Section 5 project stretching between Martinsville and Bloomington might have an end in sight. The project, which began in 2014, will now be finished by August 2018. The state is now returning direct control of the project to the Indiana Department of Transportation INDOT communications director Scott Manning said the state decided to give them control after assessing the developer’s
performance. The state planned for the project to finish in 2018. “It had evolved to a point where the state did not have the confidence they were able to complete the project in the timeline,” Manning said. INDOT and Indiana Finance Authority reached an agreement Aug. 14. The settlement will end the contract between private firm I-69 Development Partners team and the state. This will reimburse the developer’s bond holders for $246 million and give back direct control of the project to
INDOT. Gov. Eric Holcomb released a statement Monday on the change. “The State is officially in charge of this important project,” Holcomb said in the release. “Our focus is to complete this crucial stretch of roadway that provides a promising path to economic growth for Hoosiers and businesses in southern Indiana.” INDOT is working with I-69 Development Partners and Walsh Construction to assess the work already completed and identify checkpoints to keep the
project on track, according to the release. INDOT commissioner Joe McGuinness said the department negotiated more than a dozen subcontractor agreements to retain most of the contractors who worked on the project under the previous agreement. Manning said these assessments have not currently halted any construction to the interstate. “Now that the termination is in place, official work can continue just as it has been,” Manning said. “What people can expect is the work accelerating.”
Guoping Wang Former IU Jacobs School of Music instructor Guoping Wang was charged in July 2016 with sexual battery and criminal confinement in connection with a 2015 assault of an IU ballet student. Wang allegedly brought the student into his office to practice stretches. He began to kiss her, and she pushed him away. She stood to leave, but Wang closed the door and blocked her from exiting. He then allegedly sexually assaulted her with his hands before a noise distracted him, and the student ran away. Wang entered a plea of not guilty in July 2016 and was released on bond, but online court records show that he will have change of plea hearing at 9 a.m. Oct. 11. Brittany Sater murder trial Three people were charged with the 2016 burglary, robbery and murder of Bloomington resident Brittany Sater. Johnny T. Moore, one of the three alleged coconspirators, was tried and convicted of all charges in April. He was sentenced to 77 years in prison in May. He has since filed an appeal. The other two alleged co-conspirators, Edison and Webb, both initially entered pleas of not guilty. However, Edison is scheduled to have a change of plea hearing at 11 a.m. Oct. 4. Webb pleaded guilty to murder and robbery in July as a part of a plea deal. He will be sentenced at 9:30 a.m. Aug. 31. Whisper Four men, including two IU students and one IU graduate, were arrested in February on charges of child molestation after allegedly having sex with a 13-year-old girl they met on the social media app, “Whisper.” Police evidence suggests they knew she was underage. Matthew Filipek and George Pearcy were IU students at the time of their arrests. Thomas Snape graduated from the IU Kelley School of Business in 2015 with a degree in accounting, according to his
LinkedIn page. Filipek entered a plea of not guilty in February. He is scheduled to appear in court at 3:15 p.m. Oct. 10 for a pretrial conference, a proceeding where the defense and prosecution update the court on the status of the case. Pearcy also entered a plea of not guilty in February. He is scheduled to appear in court at 2:30 p.m. Sept. 11 for a pretrial conference. Snape also entered a plea of not guilty in February. He was scheduled to appear in court at 2 p.m. Aug. 15 for a pretrial conference. Daniel Messel The man convicted of murdering IU student Hannah Wilson was charged with a 2012 rape in the fall of 2016 after he was linked to the case by DNA evidence. Daniel Messel had begun serving his 80-year sentence for Wilson’s murder when he was charged with rape. He tried unsuccessfully in 2017 to appeal his murder conviction. The prosecution for the rape charge said during a pretrial conference Tuesday that the case will need to go to trial. Messel’s attorney, Patrick Schrems, said he will seek a change of venue for the trial. Schrems said the request will be made formally during Messel’s next court appearance scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Oct 10. In the 2012 case, a student reported that a man she did not know offered her a ride after she had been out drinking, according to the probable cause affidavit. He drove her to a secluded parking spot in the woods near Griffy Lake, where he forced his penis into her mouth. She tried to fight him off, and he hit her so hard it “knocked the contact out of her eye and she was spitting blood,” according to the affidavit. The man drove away, and the student found help from residents nearby. The woman’s underwear was found at the scene the next day. After reading a news story about the Wilson case, the 2012 victim felt her case was “eerily similar” and called the IU Police Department to say she believed Messel might be her attacker. DNA collected in 2012 from under her fingernails was compared to Messel’s, and the samples matched. Messel was charged in 2016 with the rape a few months after his conviction for Wilson’s murder.

ROBINSON’S REASONING
Colin Dombrowski is a sophomore in marketing.
TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
Fight Bloomington’s anti-homelessness politics I remember an acute sense of shame as a friend and I drove past a line of homeless people on Kirkwood Avenue this past June. I'd returned only weeks before from studying abroad in Argentina and hadn't seen Bloomington since early February. I had seen this sight countless times in Buenos Aires – people living out of makeshift structures of trash, shopping carts and possessions – but never had the homeless situation in Bloomington looked this noticeably serious. Later at lunch, a friend caught me up on the drug overdoses that made national news and the consequential police ordinance to clear out People's Park. The compassion extended to the homeless population in Bloomington has always been the city's silver lining. It was proof that the alleged liberal values of the community didn't ring totally hollow. This ordinance, which calls for increased downtown police patrols and citations, changes
this. The police might state the action is intended to address complaints of "nuisance behavior, aggressive panhandling and drug abuse," according to WISH-TV, but the ordinance simply transfers these problems away from People's Park. The cleansing of the park is motivated purely by an aesthetic choice. The police action seems to indicate Bloomington condones class antagonism against the less fortunate. These people would rather have the homeless out of sight and out of mind than burden themselves with solving the systematic causes of homelessness. We also cannot decontextualize Bloomington's ordinance from the national trend towards the criminalization of homelessness. Numerous selfreinforcing factors have created the crisis of homelessness in the U.S.'s major cities since the 1970s. It is not accidental that the rise of homelessness coincides with the beginning of what serious historians un-
derstand as the neoliberal era, which was marked by a reduction in government spending and a move towards privatization. In cities, expensive housing along with the gutting of municipal services and public housing synthesized with the 2008 housing crisis to create our current situation. The Annual Homelessness Assessment Report found that about 600,000 people are homeless every night. Homelessness in major U.S. cities is even more shocking. In 2015 rates rose 12 percent in Los Angeles and 14 percent in Washington, D.C. Cities in turn respond by passing antihomeless ordinances and redesigning urban surroundings. Around the world, governments have altered benches to prevent people from sleeping and outlawed pushing shopping carts and sleeping in cars. These factors combine with the malice felt towards the homeless in the general population, which is, unsurpris-

ingly, generated by television and film stereotypes. Progressive news magazine Mother Jones recently published an article titled "Are People Disgusted by the Homeless?" evoked backlash from the very academics cited within it. The Mother Jones writer attempts to reconcile the study's contradiction that people simultaneously support public aid to the homeless and bans on panhandling by concluding the homeless are disgusting. The academics posted a retort, claiming the writer had misconstrued their arguments to prove the opposite of their intention. I ask anyone angered by this to support Bloomington's homeless by whatever means, materially or politically. There are also campus groups, like Students Against State Violence, that work for the rights of the homeless in Bloomington.
NOT HOT TAKES
Reporting public harassment can provide restitution Any woman who dares to exist in public spaces can recount dozens of instances of sexual harassment. From leering and whistling to stalking and groping, all are damnable and all too familiar. Women can, however, take actions to achieve some restitution. I found several stories of harassment boil to the top of my brain while engrossed in “Everyday Sexism” by Laura Bates, the book inspired by the Everyday Sexism Project website. In a chapter on sexism in public spaces, Bates recalls a harassment case from the early morning hours of a workday – yes, sexism never sleeps – on her bike ride to the office. Mid-pedal, she is yelled at by a group of men at work along the sidewalk and, as a result, almost ends up in a car wreck. Shaking,
she stomps over to call their supervising manager by the number on the company vehicle. Luckily, the manager on the end of the line takes her report seriously and files the incident. I slammed the book shut and looked up at my sister sitting across the table. “Did you know you could report a catcalling case by a construction crew by calling a managing officer and it would, at least … count for something?” I asked. “I’d never thought of that,” she said. Neither had I. Supposedly the phone number of a building company exists on the side of a semi truck in 256-point type for a reason, but I often don’t recognize the need to report cases of public sexual harassment the same way I might with other sex discrimination
cases, even though they are just as serious. When sexual harassment happens, I recognize the bitter taste in my mouth and the anger in my heart. More often than not, though, I see it as another bullet of rape culture that someone as small as myself could never patch. Worst-case scenario, I feel as though there was something I must have done to deserve an unwanted comment, wink or touch. Comments from the women in my life such as: “Are you sure you want to be wearing that in public? You don’t want to hurt yourself,” or, “Don’t forget to bring your mace – don’t want to put yourself in a dangerous situation,” only fuel a fear that a catcall is my fault or, in fact, a compliment. But sexual harassment is neither of these. Sexual ha-
rassment in public spaces is a violation of consent and a form of sexual violence. No matter if the harasser physically grabs someone or stares predatorily, they overstep the boundaries of individuals trying to go about their day. Hollaback!, a global organization fighting street harassment, defines sexual harassment in public as “a power dynamic that constantly reminds historically subordinated groups (women and LGBTQ folks, for example) of their vulnerability to assault in public spaces.” This produces a feedback loop of sexual objectification in otherwise ordinary areas. No one consents to this type of behavior in any form, and it shouldn’t be seen as tolerable in any light. Stop Street Harassment, another organization that

fights public sexual harassment and catcalling, commissioned survey research that found that 65 percent of American women had experienced street harassment. Among reporting women, 23 percent had been sexually assaulted, 20 percent had been stalked, and 9 percent had been coerced into sexual activity against their will. Public sexual harassment is nonconsensual and a form of gendered violence. Public sexual harassment is a part of our sexist, rape culture society — but it can be countered with small steps. If you don’t consent to comments or actions from others, then such behavior is never invited.
In a recent move to increase safety in the downtown community, the Bloomington Police Department has increased its presence in Peoples Park and instituted a zero-tolerance policy for drugs, alcohol and violence. Hiring new cadets and redoubling their efforts to corral crime downtown, BPD is also investing in new security cameras and trimmed hedges to help deter crime in the first place. Given the sizable homeless population in the Bloomington community, these kinds of measures are all the more important. With Kirkwood perceived as an affluent area, displays of public violence hurt Bloomington’s image, as well as IU’s. Frankly, this is a good move by Bloomington police. While I firmly believe the government gets too involved in people’s lives when it comes to drugs and alcohol, I think there’s enough public need to warrant this sort of increase in surveillance. One of the biggest concerns Bloomington officials expressed was violence erupting. While I don’t think public intoxication alone hurts people, public violence does. Innocent people can get caught up in fights and some of the perpetrators are homeless and unable to pay medical fees. That either pushes the burden onto the hospital or could prove to have long-term consequences for the homeless. Either option is undesirable. Further, violence harms Bloomington and IU’s reputation. If touring students see brawls, they’re less inclined to come to IU. That hurts the local economy. This proves there’s enough of a reason for the police to step up their presence. I do, however, disagree with the means by which they’re increasing this presence. Their initiative focuses on putting more officers on the streets to patrol the area. While this is undoubtedly effective, it only works while the officers are nearby. Should the police be out of sight, violence once again has the potential to erupt. The focus should instead go on to infrastructure such as cameras. While surveillance cameras can prove expensive, they’re excellent deterrents. They record 24/7. As a result, they’re capable of demonstrating Bloomington is in control of the situation. Additionally, paying officers is a repeat expenditure. Salaries have to be paid each year, whereas a camera is an smaller investment that can act as a deterrent for years. However, patrols do have a certain charm to them the city of Bloomington likely appreciates. Officers provide a sense of security cameras don’t. For much of the population, seeing a policeman or policewoman is reassuring things are going to be OK. While cameras might prove to be more effective, this security theater quells constituent concerns in a very visible way, as opposed to the subtly of surveillance cameras.
THE SCIENCE OF THINGS
Taking the lawn into our own hands: using green spaces more productively A symbol of colonialism, waste and environmental decay may exist right now in your backyard. In fact, it is your backyard. The lawn, an aesthetic remnant of an unsustainable American dream, is losing its foothold in a greener, more sustainably minded nation. Historically, lawns were communal areas primarily used for grazing livestock. They later evolved into status symbols for the aristocratic class. The size of the field represented the num-
bers of cattle, sheep or servants they owned to keep such a landscape trim and clear. The purpose of lawns today is not much different. While they may provide curb appeal or a place for seasonal social gatherings, they also use 30 to 60 percent of urban fresh water and ten times the amount of pesticide per acre compared to farms to properly maintain – and could easily be repurposed for more useful things. The cycle, promoting
growth through irrigation and fertilization only to cut the plants down when they’ve grown too much, seems ludicrous. The United States has as much land allotted to turf as it does to the top four agricultural plants combined, yet we grow no agricultural product on turf. With pollinator populations diminishing and runoff contamination on the rise, it is time for our generation to question how we will invest in the land we have been given.
Homeowners of the Southwest are planting native flora, which help pollinators and prevent the spread of invasive plants and animals. In other areas, including the South Lawn of the Obama-era White House and our very own Bloomington community, lawns are being repurposed into fruit and vegetable gardens to mitigate the growing food desert crisis and provide nutrient-dense produce to populations usually reliant on heavily processed foods.
Even in areas where fresh food is available, gardens create opportunities for education, autonomy and exercise – additional benefits a farmers market or grocer doesn’t provide. Many community gardens provide a welcome respite from canned goods and frozen meals by donating unused produce to local food banks and shelters. Locally, volunteer opportunities exist on campus at the Hilltop Gardens as well as off campus at Winslow

Hoosiers’ schedule announced From IDS reports
IU Coach Archie Miller’s first Big Ten Conference schedule was unveiled Wednesday along with the rest of the Hoosiers’ nonconference slate for the upcoming season. Miller’s first game as the coach of the Hoosiers is Nov. 10 against Indiana State at home. This is IU’s first meeting with the in-state Sycamores since 2006. Hoosier Hysteria is October 21. IU’s first Big Ten game will be on the road against Michigan on Dec. 2. The Hoosiers return home to play Iowa on Dec. 4. Those conference games
are earlier than normal due to the Big Ten Tournament being moved up a week so it can be played in Madison Square Garden. The Big East Conference plays its conference tournament there, forcing the Big Ten Tournament to be earlier. Following those two games, IU heads on the road to face Louisville in a nonconference matchup. A week later, IU plays in the Crossroads Classic in Indianapolis at Bankers Life Fieldhouse against Notre Dame. Other marquee nonconference games are at Seton Hall for the Gavitt Games and also against Duke at home in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.
“I think we have a challenging schedule that gives us a lot of opportunities to become a better team,” Miller said in an IU Athletics press release. “As I said before, scheduling is the second most important thing we do besides recruiting. Our goal is to create a schedule that has our fans excited. We have the No. 1 team in the country (Duke) playing their only road game prior to conference play in our building and that speaks for itself, but with the two exhibitions and games against Indiana State and Fort Wayne, I’d expect there would be great interest in visiting Simon Skjodt As-
sembly Hall this year.” Miller’s first matchup is against Purdue at home Jan. 28. IU’s last conference game of the season will be Feb. 23 against Ohio State. To close out its nonconference slate, IU will play Fort Wayne, Tennessee Tech and Youngstown State. IU and Fort Wayne will finish its three-year agreement a year earlier as the teams were originally scheduled to play in 2018. IU will play two other instate foes in its exhibition games as IU will host both Marian and Indianapolis. Andrew Hussey

Rankings place Hoosiers at the bottom of Big Ten From IDS reports
With opening night nine days away for the IU volleyball team, the Big Ten Conference has released its preseason rankings. After finishing the season with a 17-16 record last year, the Hoosiers are predicted to finish second to last in the Big Ten this upcoming season. IU graduated five seniors during the offseason, IU also gained five new freshmen for the 2017 season. With only one senior on the roster, inexperience could be the reason why IU was picked to finish 13th in conference by Big Ten vol-
leyball coaches. Penn State was selected as the preseason favorite to win the Big Ten after finishing with a 24-10 record last season. The American Volleyball Coaches Association has the Nittany Lions ranked No. 6 in the NCAA to begin this season. IU begins its season at home in the University Gym at 7 p.m. Aug. 25 against Ball State at 7 p.m. Big Ten Conference coaches picked #iuvb to finish 13th out of 14 teams in the conference preseason poll.

Women’s soccer prepares for the season From IDS reports
The 2017 women's soccer season is nearly underway as IU is set to open its regular season Aug. 18, with the Hoosier Challenge Cup. The No. 13-ranked Clemson Tigers, Cal Poly Mustangs and Southern Illinois University – Edwardsville Cougars will join IU in the tournament, during which each team plays two games. The Hoosiers home opener will be 7:30 p.m. Friday night against Cal Poly. IU wraps up the weekend against No. 13 Clemson at 1:30 p.m. Sunday. Earlier this week, the Big
Ten Conference released the 2017 women's soccer preseason coaches' poll. According to the conference's 14 head coaches, the Penn State Nittany Lions are this year's favorite to take home the Big Ten title after earning a share of the conference championship last season. IU has been selected to finish ninth in this year's preseason poll. The Hoosiers ended the 2016 season in ninth place after posting an overall record of 7-9-4 and going 4-4-3 in conference. Several Hoosiers were named to the preseason honors list for the Big Ten. Red-
shirt junior forward Mykayla Brown, sophomore midfielder Allison Jorden and sophomore defender Meghan Scott were recognized by the conference ahead of the upcoming season. Jorden and Scott both started every game for the Hoosiers last season as freshmen. Jorden scored a pair of goals in 2016, while Scott tallied seven assists to lead the team in that category. Brown led IU in scoring in 2016 with a total of eight goals, including three gamewinning goals. Austin Ghirardelli
IU cornerbacks coach Brandon Shelby wants everybody to play. What may be different this season, though, is Shelby’s confidence in the depth of defensive backs on IU’s roster. “You look at last season, we’re playing in a bowl game with only two guys, two corners had to go the whole game,” Shelby said. “This is the first time in a long time that we’ve had the depth we have.” IU Coach Tom Allen’s 4-2-5 defensive scheme demands effective coverage of wide receivers by the secondary, a group entering the season with significant experience. All five starters from last season’s secondary return: senior cornerback Rashard Fant, sophomore cornerback A’Shon Riggins, junior safety Jonathan Crawford, senior safety Tony Fields and sophomore husky Marcelino Ball. But it isn’t just the returning players receiving praise from Allen and Shelby. Sophomore cornerback Andre Brown Jr., who played extensively as a freshman in 2015 before suffering a season-ending injury prior to last season,
has impressed his defensive coaches. Freshman cornerbacks Raheem Layne and LaDamion Hunt have also been praised for their aggressiveness and receptiveness to coaching. “I really love their attitude, love their skill set, more than anything their mind-set,” Allen said. “You got these certain guys who come here ready to play.” As little as eight months ago, Layne wasn’t slated to be a part of IU’s secondary. The Florida native was committed to the University of Minnesota before re-opening his recruitment following a coaching change at Minnesota. By late January, Layne selected IU, and now looks set to receive playing time during his freshman campaign. “What we have to make sure is as the season goes these guys are getting reps,” Shelby said. New things are also expected of Shelby in his seventh season with IU. During the offseason, Shelby became the latest IU coach to benefit from the Bill Walsh NFL Minority Coaching Fellowship. As part of the fellowship, Shelby spent time in June with the Houston Texans, specifically Houston defensive coordinator Mike Vrabel.
Former IU running backs coach Deland McCullough also participated in the fellowship last offseason. Shelby said he was both appreciative and fortunate to receive the invite to the fellowship. “Great communication down there,” Shelby said. “Those guys are pros. They hold each other to a great standard.” With the season opener against preseason No. 2 Ohio State just two weeks away, Shelby is also looking to cut down on penalties in the secondary. One way he is trying to remedy what he describes as “a holding problem” is to have cornerbacks practice while wearing mixed-martial arts gloves, with only players’ thumbs sticking out. “It cuts down on the holding penalties,” Shelby said. “Sometimes it’s kind of a grabbing match out there. We don’t want to give up any cheap penalties.” Fant and Riggins may be the top-two cornerbacks on the roster, but Shelby is counting on contributions from all players for IU to continue its defensive improvements. “Hopefully we play all of them,” Shelby said. “In this day and age with so many people kind of going hurryup, you’re going to need everybody.

I’m really pleased overall where we are at this point.” The medium-sized crowd that took in the exhibition match at Bill Armstrong Stadium on Monday night saw new faces on the pitch. Yet, the new faces provided excitement. Freshman forwards Mason Toye and Thomas Warr left an impression, along with freshman midfielder Griffin Dorsey and freshman

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 why more officers couldn’t be hired. She asked whether negative portrayal of law enforcement made recruitment difficult. Diekhoff said this portrayal of police did contribute to the issue but there were other factors at play, including low entry-level salaries for officers. He said the department raised its starting salary years ago to better match national standards. Soon, the discussion turned to Bloomington’s growing homeless population. Diekhoff said addiction made the task of helping those who are homeless more complicated, but that recent drug distribution arrests and the presence of resource officers downtown were followed by a decrease in reports of aggressive behavior and other crimes.
goalkeeper Jacob Gruber, who played the full 90 minutes. Gruber said he knew he’d get to play 45 minutes coming in, with a possibility of another 45 minutes. Warr may have left the biggest impression of the night by scoring his first goal as a Hoosier. Dorsey struck a ball from outside the 18-yard box, and Warr happened to be in the right place at the right time to redirect it in. Yeagley said it was nice to see the two freshmen connect. “It just kind of happened,” Warr said of the goal. “Everyone’s still working each other out, it’s not just a freshman thing. Luckily I got on the
end of his shot, good bounce and it went in.” Warr got the start for the Hoosiers and alternated minutes with Toye. Dorsey played the majority of the match as well. Yeagley said he was pleased with all of their performances because they can all bring something different to the team. Warr, Toye and Dorsey are all in positions that have returning upperclassman players. It’s Gruber who is vying for a spot where there isn’t a returning starter. “It’s hard because coming in as a freshman you want to get right into it,” Gruber said. “There’s a lot of guys who are good. Everyone’s fantastic,
we push each other every day for that starting spot.” The squad, like last year, will be competitive to find starting spots. That’s what Yeagley said he wants to happen. Warr and Gruber both said the competition within the group is intense. There will be the usual names of senior defender Grant Lillard, junior left back Andrew Gutman and junior midfielder Trevor Swartz to name a few, but don’t be surprised to see a few new names in the mix throughtout the season. “It’s early, but I think there will be several that have big roles,” Yeagley said of the freshmen.
Ultimately, Diekhoff said the downtown area was a better place now than the beginning of the summer. Then came time for public comment. Bob Costello, a local business owner and president of the Kirkwood Community Association, read from a statement in which he thanked Diekhoff and the department for the work they had done improving conditions in Peoples Park and the surrounding area. He said his group was not just there to express gratitude, but also to request more officers be hired and more be placed on duty in a single shift. His group suggested 130 officers in total, 34 more positions than BPD’s current employment, in order to meet national standards. Others echoed Costello’s statement. Gabe Coleman, another local business owner, said he saw nine years of es-
calation, but looked to the future. Police had disrupted the drug trade downtown, he said, and overdoses went down from June to July. “When we come together to talk about this, we don’t call it a homeless problem,” Coleman said. The term was divisive and he preferred to see it as an addiction and mental health issue, he said. Some citizens who spoke said they lived by the Shalom Community Center on South Walnut Street and believed the homeless population who moved off Kirkwood Avenue had inhabited their street. One person who said she owned property near the center said the discussion wasn’t about being against any certain group, but rather that the neighbors felt threatened. The father of a BPD officer spoke before the council went back to deliberating the budget. The man said
his son worked overtime frequently. If the department could hire more officers, his son wouldn’t have to work so many shifts. Before the public comments, Diekhoff had told the council he understood there was only so much funding to go around and BPD was only a piece of the city’s budget. Most council members agreed with the sentiment that more officers were needed than the city had resources for. Some questioned what the point of increased funding was if the department wasn’t able to hire more officers. Councilman Stephen Volan, who represents District 6, said they were more than willing to fund the hiring of more officers, something he said the council had been working on for years. Others concurred. “There are only so many pieces of the pie we can distribute,” Sandberg said. “That said, this is a critical piece.”
McRobbie said in the email. Academic achievement is the primary goal for all students, Nieto-Phillips said. “We’ve created a number of programs not only to recruit students, but to retain them, as well,” NietoPhillips said. These programs, such as the Groups Scholars program, provide intensive tutoring, student mentoring and financial support to ensure all students graduate in a timely manner. Eighty percent of Groups Scholars are underrepresented minorities, Nieto-Phillips said. A scholarship was created in 2013 to support student minority participation in studying abroad. In addition to academic support, there are five culture centers spread throughout campus, the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center, the Asian Culture Center, the First Nations Educational and Cultural Center, La Casa Latino Cultural Center and the LGBTQ+ Cultural Center.
» BLOCK PARTY
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Our partnership with RPS and the Residence Hall Association is what allows us to create lineups of artists that students love year after year.” In previous years, the IU Block Party has had performers such as electronic musician Zhu and rapper B.o.B. The work to find wellknown artists each year begins with people like Union Board’s Director of Music Mark Matsuki. Matsuki, an IU junior, said finding out what music and artists are resonating with students starts with his own form of research as a DJ. “I actually DJ a lot around here in Bloomington and around the country at a lot of different night clubs, festivals, and I actually performed at last year’s block party as one of the acts,” Matsuki said. “So that gave me a lot of perspective as to what it is that people are listening to. It gives me the ear to the ground to get an idea of what people are interested in.” Matsuki said that brainstorming potential artists comes from those who are charting on Spotify and the radio. From there he said the next step is see what’s possible. “It never happens the way you intended it to hap-
“We’re really working to be attentive to every student’s needs,” Nieto-Phillips said. Freshman Quang Hoang is from Vietnam. He participated in the Intensive Freshman Seminars, which are part of a 16-day summer school program. As an international student, Hoang said he came to IU a week earlier than domestic IFS participants so that he could begin to adapt to America. “Everyone here is so supportive and friendly so my transition has been pretty smooth,” he said. As of 2016, international students represent 150 countries from across the globe. IU takes pride in its many cultures and strives to provide the same respect to every person, regardless of if they are involved with IU or not, McRobbie said in the email. “IU stands in solidarity with citizens and groups across our nation who oppose a supremacist ideology of bigotry, hatred, violence, intimidation and assault on our liberties,” McRobbie said in the email. pen off the gate,” Matsuki said. “We were actually in talks with a lot of different artists as far back as February of this past year, so that’s between six or seven months in advance. We started off with one artist and then that didn’t work out, then it goes to your A and your B and your C, D, E, F options, but you really want to make sure it comes out just right.” Matsuki said Post Malone is the artist he is the most excited about. “I know a lot of students are really excited about him as well,” Matsuki said. “His radio single has been charting like crazy, same thing on Spotify.” IU is not the only school acquiring big acts for its welcome week concert. According to Ohio State’s student newspaper, the Lantern, Zedd will be performing at the university’s welcome week concert and Wiz Khalifa is performing at the University of Mississippi, according to its website. “For us as a whole it’s our responsibility to really put together something that gets students excited about what’s happening on campus and continues to put us on a national radar,” Matsuki said. “The goal each year is to get bigger and better. We’re going to bring acts that continue to resonate with our student body and continues to build out year after year.”

CelestFest to educate students on solar eclipse By Annie Aguiar aguiara@indiana.edu | @Annieinfi nitely
starry sky, twilight and a partly covered sun will greet students walking to their classes at 2:25 p.m. the first day of the fall semester, Aug. 21, as the first total solar eclipse in the United States since 1979 occurs over their heads. The path of totality, the area where people can see the moon's shadow completely blocking the sun, is only 70 miles wide and will stretch from Oregon to South Carolina. As viewed from IU, close to 94 percent of the sun will be obscured from sight as the eclipse reaches its peak.

Guide to the Solar Eclipse What to know for Monday’s natural phenomenon.
Earth
Sun Moon
What it means
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon comes between the sun and the earth, which casts the darkest part of its shadow, the umbra, on the earth.
How to view Bloomington
Why it’s cool to be in Bloomington
Because looking directly at a partially eclipsed or uneclipsed sun can damage your retinas, be sure to protect your eyes while observing. IU guides will be passing out pairs of eclipse glasses, so you can view safely and in style.
Where to go In addition to CelestFest, which takes place at the Conrad Prebys Amphitheater on campus, you can also attend a viewing party from noon to 2:30 p.m. at Monroe Lake’s Paynetown State Recreation Area by Swimming Beach.
While Bloomington isn't quite in the path of totality, where the sun will be completely covered, it's not far from it. Hoosiers will be able to enjoy a 94-percent partial eclipse from campus.
When to observe Set the tone
The eclipse will last 2 hours, 51 minutes, 47 seconds. Here are key times to watch for during its journey.
12:57 p.m. Partial eclipse begins
2:25 p.m. Maximum coverage
3:49 p.m. Partial eclipse ends

» CELESTFEST CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 or those wanting to know more behind the science of the eclipse, hear a Pink Floyd cover band or score some free Moon Pies, the Office of Science Outreach and the Council for Arts and Humanities collaborated to organize CelestFest, a solar eclipse watch party at the Conrad Prebys Amphitheater from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., accompanied by a concert that night from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. "CelestFest is our way of celebrating the natural phenomenon of the solar eclipse," said Teddie Phillipson, the associate director of the Office of Science Outreach. "First day of classes, we're going to see a natural phenomenon and just get to know each other. There's a lot of time for networking and to build those relationships right before the academic year." The eclipse will be the first coast-to-coast total solar eclipse since 1918. The last time this happened, it

happened over a world that hadn't yet invented handheld hair dryers, movies with sound or penicillin. "This is, while not quite exactly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, it's a very rare occurrence and I'd like people to really learn from it," IU Physics Club faculty adviser Fred Luehring said. Viewing the eclipse directly is dangerous, as the sun's rays are so concentrated that they can concentrate in the back of the eye and damage the retina without proper protection. Straight lines turning wavy and spotty or blurred vision are signs of eclipse-induced damage, but may manifest hours or days later after exposure, the Office of Science Outreach said on its website. To ensure safety for those viewing the eclipse, IU will distribute 10,000 pairs of solar eclipse viewing glasses at First Year Experience Guide Tables and at the Conrad Prebys Amphitheater on a first-come, first-serve basis. Other ways to view the eclipse safely at home, like pinhole projectors, can be

made with materials like aluminum foil and a cardboard box. "Please, please, please, don't look at the goddamn sun," Luehring said. CelestFest will feature eclipse-related demonstrations from multiple academic departments like Biology, Physics and Public Heath, eclipse-inspired celestial poetry activities and more. In the nine months of planning, the 12-person core committee worked to create the event's interdisciplinary nature. "To communicate better what all of us do, including science, we need arts and humanities. There's nothing like art to communicate good science," Phillipson said. Phillipson said she expects 300 people attending the event, watching demonstrations or networking with professors and peers. She said one of her goals for CelestFest is to build connections between new people on campus and a sense of community overall. "I'm sure we'll have a lot of freshmen and sopho-

mores who haven't declared a major yet, and they might interact with history and philosophy or with someone in the sciences and say, 'Oh, I never knew science was like that, I always thought it was very rigid and full of terms,'" Phillipson said. A complete view of the eclipse is possible from Hopkinsville, Kentucky, 167 miles southwest, where the University's astronomy department will go to view totality. In place of the astronomy department, Luehring and the physics club are stepping in to provide science content for CelestFest. He said that he hopes the event will bring a better understanding of science to people. "Understanding the solar system and the fact that the solar system is not the center of the universe is one of the greatest human intellectual accomplishments," Luehring said. "If you stop and think about it, it's really amazing that some people were able to calculate to the second when the eclipse will occur." For Phillipson, she said
CELESTFEST Viewing party 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., Monday, Conrad Prebys Amphitheater Concert 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., Monday, Conrad Prebys Amphitheater
she hopes CelestFest will help decrease a recent backlash against science and intellectualism, reaching out to those with the misconception that science is rigid and inaccessible instead of tentative and ever-changing. "There are people on campus who might feel that science isn't for them because maybe they got a bad grade once in high school or maybe they didn't get a blue ribbon in a science fair or something," she said. "To bring them back around to view a natural phenomenon that can be explained by science or by other disciplines, they might be able to find themselves and feel more apt to instead of saying 'science isn't for me,' realize that science is for everyone."

Adelaide: city of churches, bars Australia is not an easy place to reach. Approximately 9,950 miles, separate Australia from Indiana University, my home these past three years. I spent more than 22 hours traveling from my home in southern Indiana to this mysterious land 'down under.' If you've never flown on an international, overnight flight then you may not understand the line between sanity and insanity. On my flight from Los Angeles, I watched eight movies and read two books. I saw the sun rise in gold and orange hues across the southern hemisphere as it chased us across the sky. I was also cramped, unable to sleep and down right restless. My saving grace on this flight happened to be a man by the name of Ian Hutchinson, a native Australian and a teacher who was returning home. He, and the Atlantic magazine I picked up at LAX, helped keep me sane. We talked about his perspective of the United States, and trust me most Aussies are fascinated by things going on in the U.S. right now. He also helped explain at least some of the intricate slang which litters the Australian vocabulary. Words like "arvo," "brekky" and "Macca's" probably don't mean much to must folks from the U.S., but they're quite common in Australia and utterly confusing at first.

The River Torrens runs its course through Adelaide, Australia, and is one of the reasons the city was planned in its current location. University rowing teams practice on the river most days and individuals walk and run along its banks.
Also please do not, ever, use the word "root" when cheering for a team. Trust me. Anyway, I could've kissed the ground when we set down in Adelaide, Australia finally. I almost did, but felt the people behind me would've been disturbed by my emotional response. Adelaide, for those who don't know, is the capital of the South Australia.

Adelaide and my residential college, down into the heart of Adelaide, they're everywhere. The stone faces of soldiers, rearing horses and statues of men pointing into the distance, surround pedestrians. Maybe it's my small-town mentality, but I find myself constantly looking up in amazement at these grandiose memorials. While, I've waxed glowingly over much of the city and some of the differences between the U.S. and Australia, there are a lot of similarities. Similarities in politics, problems and personality. Right now, Australians are having a "non-compulsory" postal vote on whether or not they're going to allow same-sex marriage. This is an issue that hit its height in the U.S. a few years ago but still sparks debate and controversy between progressives on the left and social conservatives on the right. It's doing the same thing in Australia. So while much is different or new, there is much that is the same. We're living in a global world now after all. And before you ask, no the Aussies do not ride kangaroos around town.

Frontman “Uncle Sex” of Rod Tuffcurls and the Bench Press sends shockwaves through the crowd as he attempts a split during a guitar solo at a 2013 performance at the Bluebird Nightclub. The Chicago-based cover band performed songs from artists like Carly Rae Jepsen and Cee Lo Green.
Off-campus acts to see By Adele Poudrier apoudrie@iu.edu | @AdelePoudrier
While the IU Block Party is a huge event for incoming freshmen, welcome week performances exist beyond the limits of the Sample Gates for off-campus students. For upperclassmen and especially those who are 21 years old and older, venues across Bloomington continue the excitement of this year’s commencement with various acts, musical and more. Singer-songwriter Clayton Anderson is bringing country music to the Bluebird Nightclub during welcome week. According to the Bluebird website, Anderson has
opened for country stars Jason Aldean, Eric Church, Jimmy Buffet and Kenney Chesney. One of Anderson’s most recent appearances was at the Indy 500 Legends Concert with Keith Urban and Dustin Lynch. Anderson will perform at 9 p.m. Aug. 18 at the Bluebird located at 216 N. Walnut St. Those who want to hear well-known hits live can catch cover band Rod Tuffcurls and The Bench Press at the Bluebird as well. According to Rod Tuffcurls and the Bench Press’s website, no genre is off limits. The cover band performs a repertoire that varies from Taylor Swift and Queen to Wilson Philips and Hall & Oates. Attendees might also hear selections from a vari-
ety of shows and movies, like “Les Miserables,” “The Golden Girls,” and “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.” Rod Tuffcurls and the Bench Press play at 9p.m. Aug. 19 at the Bluebird, located at 216 N. Walnut St. Those looking for laughs over melodies can find comedian James Davis at the Comedy Attic. On June 28, Davis’s own show “Hood Adjacent with James Davis” premiered on the Comedy Attic, following his time writing for “The Late Late Show with James Corden” and acting in Kevin Hart’s show “Real Husbands of Hollywood.” According to Davis’s website his comedic style falls between urban and mainstream comedy, lending his perspective on

contemporary topics. Davis will perform at 8 p.m. Aug. 17 and 8 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. Aug. 18 and 19 at the Comedy Attic located at the corner of Fourth Street and Walnut. For those interested in alternative and underground music, Cincinnati band the Tillers are playing at 8:30 p.m. Aug. 18 at the Bishop located at 123 S. Walnut St. According to the Bishop’s website, the band was awarded CityBeat Magazine’s Cincinnati Entertainment Award for best Folk and Americana act for five consecutive years. According to the Bishop’s website, though the Tillers’s music is classified as folk, their punk influence sets them apart from other folk acts.

my culinary experiments with an audience that can identify with the wants and needs of college students. In a few years (or in my case two short semesters) we will all be living on our own without the fallback of dining halls or on-campus quick fixes. We need the tools to make meals and hopefully enjoy the process just a little bit. In addition to trial-anderror cooking in my own kitchen, I want to test out the Bloomington restaurant scene. Yes, like most IU students I already have my personal favorite spots downtown, but this is an opportunity to try out the restaurants I breeze by in favor of familiarity, or the ones I need to reexamine with the space of a year behind me. Just because we're young doesn't mean we have to settle for mediocrity (not that I think many local restaurants are) and at the very least we should be able to decide what we like or don't and more importantly articulate why. This semester promises to be different from my last, but I hope to be able to use some of my food knowledge gained in France for self-improvement here and share whatever is useful. Learning to cook and love food is a journey I'm just at the beginning of, but I'm excited for what the future holds.

A year ago, I couldn't have described or even recognized what my relationship with food was, much less anticipate that now it has totally transformed and is still changing. Almost exactly a year ago, I left for a study abroad program in the south of France, and I got back at the end of May. I had 10 months of adventures in travel, education, language and, most importantly, food. In France, food is considered an art. There, it is valued and is never something to simply brush aside. Living there started a shift in my own perception of how I, as an American and a growing food-lover, regarded this art. Studying abroad certainly wasn't the only thing that sparked this change. Starting sophomore year I've been cooking for myself. Since then, I’ve been attempting to figure out what it takes to be an independent person. Knowing how to sustain yourself is a huge part of a journey to adulthood that is often overlooked in the stress of getting high grades and job searching. It doesn't help that we live in a country where nutrition and quality often take a backseat in the face of speed and availability. It's a problem that existed before millennials were old enough to take a spin around the kitchen, but I'm encouraged every day by the ways people are innovating to make quality cuisine within reach of those willing to try. This semester I'm excited to use this food column as an opportunity to share
