Provost: mumps return to IU From IDS reports

Five cases of mumps have been confirmed on IU’s campus since December, according to an email Wednesday from Provost Lauren Robel. The Centers for Disease Control has reported mumps cases are at a 10-year nationwide high with cases in 46 states in the last year.

Symptoms include fever, headache, muscle aches, tiredness, loss of appetite and swollen salivary glands under the ears. Students with symptoms, even if they’ve received a Measles Mumps and Rubella vaccine, are encouraged to stay home and call the IU Health Center at 812-855-5002 or 855-303-2631 after hours.

The disease can be spread through contact with an infected person when they sneeze or cough.

The infection can spread for two to five days after the first sign of symptoms. Symptoms appear for about 16 to 18 days but can still occur after that point.

Treatment for those already infected with mumps is focused on alleviating symptoms. Bed rest, a diet of soft foods and pain relievers are recommended.

IU is taking precautions to stop the spread of mumps. These precautions include offering immunizations to people who may have been exposed, according to Robel’s email.

Vaccination is the most effective method for preventing the spread of mumps. Being vaccinated with two doses of the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine or MMR provides some protection, but according to Robel’s email, those two doses are only around 90 percent effective.

The IU women’s basketball team rushes the court against Iowa on Wednesday in Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. IU defeated the Hawkeyes in double overtime 80-77.

SENIOR MOMENT Hoosiers notch important double-overtime win over Hawkeyes on Senior Day

By Josh Eastern jeastern@indiana.edu | @josheastern

Assembly Hall stood silent as the ball drifted through the air.

With her team down three with three seconds left in regulation, junior forward Amanda Cahill caught the in-bounds pass.

She took one dribble left and released. It was a shot IU needed.

The Hoosiers had an NCAA Tournament bid on the line. Cahill’s shot needed to find the bottom of the net. It ultimately did. That was just the start of what turned out to

be 10 minutes of extra basketball.

It took two overtimes, but IU got a win over the Iowa Hawkeyes they so desperately needed by a score of 80-77 Wednesday night at Assembly Hall.

“They just maintained that attitude and that persona through timeouts,” IU Coach Teri Moren said. “Resilience, toughness, we’re coming off of a tough, bitter loss at Nebraska. We wanted to get this one tonight, we knew we had to.”

Both sides went blow for blow all night. Iowa would hit a shot,

80-77 then IU would answer back. For nearly 50 minutes they went back and forth.

In the final quarter, the lead was no bigger than four points in IU’s favor. With the game on the line, the Hoosiers needed someone to step up. That happened to be Cahill. After Iowa knocked down a 3-pointer with three seconds left, the Clyde, Ohio, native

It was tied at 64 and overtime was on the horizon. Moren said the play was designed especially for Cahill and the junior did what the team needed.

World-renowned artist Beili Liu discusses her life in China and showcases her organic art style during her presentation Wednesday evening in the School of Fine Arts building. Liu’s presentation was in preparation for the Friday launch of her exhibit “After All (Mending the Sky)” in the Grunwald Gallery of Art.

Artist shares organic art style

By Noelle Snider nmsnider@indiana.edu @snider_noelle

The Henry Radford Hope School of Fine Arts welcomed guest artist Beili Liu to speak Wednesday night about her work as an installation artist.

About 50 students and IU faculty members watched Liu’s presentation of her many installations.

The common themes shared throughout her works were culture, female empowerment and connection, she said.

Liu said she connects with the art she makes by following two lines throughout her process. The

first idea she incorporates is playing with different materials. The second is looking at her cultural history and experience with China.

“This is the underlying theme of my practice, where I am looking at those small human connections,” Liu said.

Beginning with all three ideas she had of connection, culture and women empowerment, Liu said one of her earliest projects was spent on the Art Farm in Nebraska.

Liu created a replica of her parents’ home when they lived in the rural countryside of China.

The type of house Liu crafted was the same as a first house a Chinese man would build for himself,

she said.

“As a Chinese daughter it was really empowering to come up with this idea and build it on my own,” Liu said.

For Liu’s second project she followed the idea of building a house for the installation “Recall.”

However, Liu said instead of using common materials like the adobe brick from the first house she used paraffin wax.

Liu said she loved watching people walk through the exhibit, noticing their movements and emotions as they experienced her artwork.

The Department of Homeland Security released documents Tuesday that highlighted the Trump administration’s plans to hire additional border agents and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and allow state and local law enforcement to act as immigration officers.

These new guidelines, which have already affected IU and Bloomington, open up the potential for a vast increase in the number of people who will be deported.

Willy Palomo, a second-year master’s student and president of UndocuHoosier Alliance, an organization that provides resources such as legal and financial help to undocumented students, said ICE raids have increased nationwide and Bloomington is no exception.

“It’s a huge mismanagement of resources and an irresponsible use of power,” he said of the new guidelines.

Priority for deportation has been placed on those living here illegally who have been convicted of a criminal offense.

However, the language has shifted from Obama administration immigration policy, which placed priority on those who have been convicted of violent crimes, to include anyone who has been charged with or convicted of any criminal offense.

There could also be a potential for more unauthorized

immigrants to be sent back through expedited removal, meaning some people will be deported without being able to see a judge.

Immigrants who arrived in the United States as children are currently under the protection of the Obama-era program Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA. For now, the Trump administration has left DACA alone and does not have plans to eliminate the program at the moment.

However, these new orders open up a larger potential for mixed-status families to be separated than before. Palomo said there are many IU students who are protected from deportation but fear for parents, siblings and other family members who are not.

“Families are going to be torn apart, which is a huge tragedy,” he said.

Christie Popp is an immigration lawyer in Bloomington.

Ever since Trump took office she has seen an influx of students and residents who are worried about their fates under the new administration, she said.

Popp raised concerns about the practicality of deporting more immigrants when immigration courts are already extremely backlogged, she said. Many cases take four to six years to be heard.

She also believes that the Obama administration’s policies, while not perfect, provided SEE TRUMP, PAGE 6

IU researchers study bacteria

By Emily Berryman eberryma@indiana.edu | @Ember_Otter

Antibiotic-resistant infections strike 2 million Americans each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control.

Around 23,000 of those 2 million, die as a result of the infection.

IU researchers recently conducted a study that may help to change those numbers.

Michael VanNieuwenhze and Yves Brun, IU researchers in organic chemistry and microbiology re- Michael spectively, VanNieuwenhze conducted a joint study with Harvard University where they discovered Yves Brun the way bacteria replicate and create cell walls.

They were able to identify the proteins necessary for replication and what they did.

“As the cell prepares to divide they require many different proteins, and this is a carefully regulated process,” VanNieuwenhze said He said researchers and doctors could specifically target one of the proteins required and halt replication because they now have a better understanding of how the cell divides.

VanNieuwenhze started this research in 2005 when he began working with probes, which are chemicals that

target and identify proteins and markers within cells.

The two won the Outstanding Collaborative Faculty Research Award from IU in the award’s inaugural year, 2014.

It was not long before the work was picked up by Harvard researchers who began collaborating with VanNieuwenhze and Brun.

“The initial work was done here, thanks to the collaboration between Yves and I,” VanNieuwenhze said.

“Yves and I are indebted to the excellent work by our grad-students and research groups.”

Erkin Kuru and Yen-Pang Hsu, grad-students who worked in VanNieuwenhze and Brun’s lab, were integral to the discovery.

The findings discovered proteins that guide the construction of the cell wall.

The cell wall is built in rings on the inside of the cell, and, during division, the proteins guide the construction into a spiral pattern that forms a disk, splitting the cell in two.

“None of us anticipated the impact our research was going to have,” VanNieuwenhze said. “I certainly was not expecting it, I was coming from a chemistry angle, not biology.”

VanNieuwenhze said research is going to continue even though they have finished with this portion. He and Brun are continuing to create probes in different colors for more antibiotic discovery.

“We are funded through grants from the National Institute of Health,” VanNieuwenhze said. “We still have about two years on the grant.

Then we will be reapplying.”

US policy figure to speak at IU twice From IDS reports

The editor at large of The Weekly Standard and figure in United States political and policy circles for more than a quarter century, William Kristol, will be visiting IU-Purdue University Indianapolis and IU-Bloomington for two events this week.

Kristol is a regular on ABC’s “This Week” and often appears on TV news and programs about political commentary programs, according to an IU press release. In 1995 he founded The Weekly Standard and was its editor through 2016. Prior to 1995, he was the chief of staff to Vice President Dan Quayle and led the Project for the Republican Future.

Feb. 23, 2017 Kristol will speak at an invitation-only luncheon at IUPUI sponsored by the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy and the Center on Representative Government and titled “Whatever Happened to Civil Society — and What Can Be Done About It?” Feb. 24, 2017 Kristol will participate in an IU-Bloomington panel discussion from 1 to 2:30 p.m. in Alumni Hall of the Indiana Memorial Union. IU political science professor Aurelian Craiutu will moderate the panel, and Paul Helmke of the School of Public and Environmental Affairs will be a panelist for the discussion:

“Where Do We Go From Here: A Conversation With Bill Kristol.” The Tocqueville Program, which will be host to the event, focuses on the contemporary legacy of 19th-century French political philosopher Alexis de Tocqueville.

Also providing support to Kristol’s visit are the Ostrom Workshop, the Center for Representative Government and the IU-Bloomington Office of the Provost and Executive Vice President.

At the talk, he will respond to observations that the social fabric has become frayed, according to the release.

March 24, 2017 The Tocqueville Program and the IU-Bloomington Office of the Provost and Executive Vice President will present a discussion involving the moderation and civility with Teresa Bejan, associate professor of political theory at Oriel College at the University of Oxford, along with IU-Bloomington faculty members Craiutu; Jeffrey Isaac, a professor of political science; and Allen Wood, a professor of philosophy, according to the release.

The panelists at this discussion will talk about Bejan’s new book, “Mere Civility: Disagreement and the Limits of Toleration,” and Craiutu’s recent book, “Faces of Moderation: The Art of Balance in an Age of Extremes.” The time and location of this event are to be announced.

Terry Anderson, a fellow at the Hoover and the Ostrom Workshop is met with opposition from protestors during Anderson’s “Who Owns the Environment” lecture Wednesday evening in Woodburn Hall.

Anderson met with protests

By Kelly Evans evanskn@indiana.edu | @knickle5

Amongst the rows of students and visitors crammed in Woodburn Hall 120 on Wednesday were a few handwritten signs and an occasional shout from the audience, adding tension to the sixth official speech of SustainIU Week.

Posters were emblazoned with messages including “PERC took ¼ million dollars from Koch industries since 1997” and “Shame on SPEA.” This year marks the ninth annual celebration of sustainability on IU’s campus.

This year’s topic focuses on the theme “A Changing Climate, a Changing Conscience,” according to the Office of Sustainability website.

On behalf of the Ostrom Workshop, guest speaker Terry Anderson spoke Wednesday debating the issue of environmental responsibility and how the local community up to the federal government can influence it.

His speech was inspired by the career of Elinor Ostrom, a former political scientist at IU. Ostrom’s legacy is primarily connected to her interpretation of “managing a commons,” or the way in which communities dealt with and managed their allocated set of finite resources.

Anderson stressed the idea of how many different hats society wears and sees in its community members, as he literally switched into different hats in his outfit depending on what societal role he discussed.

Through the sharing of customs and cultures, Anderson said it will be easier to build institutions to manage shared resources.

Anderson concluded his speech with the discussion of what he called the biggest environmental problem of our time — global warming.

“Global warming is the mother of all the problems that we face,” Anderson said.

The PowerPoint slide behind him read “Locally, what

can we do? Adapt, adapt and be adept.”

Despite his current interest in environmental debates, Anderson was orignally an economist.

In his speech introduction, he even made a joke about his profession.

“You know what an economist is, don’t you?” Anderson asked. “Someone who’s pretty good with numbers but isn’t good enough to be an accountant.”

Anderson is well known for his disbelief in climate change and the negative environmental predicament which populates political discussions over the course of the years.

In one of his own articles featured on the Fox News Opinion website last year, he said environmental discussions these days are entirely too focused on the negative.

“Discussions of climate change almost always include terms such as catastrophic, irreversible, and irreparable,” Anderson wrote

Professors voice concerns on immigration ban

By Kaleigh Howland kbhowlan@iu.edu | @Kaleighbleu

Islamophobic and racist groups have been emboldened with Trump’s order temporarily barring refugees and immigrants from seven Muslim-majority nations, said Ishan Ashutosh, an assistant geography professor at IU. Discrimination against Muslims is increasing, according to a Pew research Center study from January 2016. The study showed 76 percent of Americans believe discrimination against Muslims is increasing.

Trump’s order temporarily barring refugees and immigrants from seven Muslim-majority nations has dangerous implications for America’s present and future, said IU professors of geography, political science and international studies.

“Executive Order: Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States” has been popularized as the “Muslim Ban.” But Ashutosh said the ban marginalizes more than just Muslims.

“What concerns me the most is that the executive order, while listing those seven

countries, actually goes far beyond that by putting all immigrants under suspicion,” Ashutosh said.

This is not the first time America has subjected Muslims or immigrants to scrutiny.

Political science associate professor Abdulkader Sinno said that returning to the days of discriminatory laws, like the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, would be an “absolute disaster” he said.

The Patriot Act, issued under President George W. Bush, eased restrictions on surveillance on those suspected but not proven of links with terrorism.

Sinno said this legacy of discriminatory laws and “bans,” paired with Trump’s Islamophobic campaign and current administration, makes hateful people feel that the government backs their attack on Muslims.

This hatred of Muslims and refugees is based on a narrative of fear told by the Republican party to maintain power, argued both Sinno and Elizabeth Dunn, international studies and geography associate professors.

“They see it as in their political self-interest to present some clear and present

danger that the current administration can somehow save us from,” Dunn said.

“But they can’t save us because there is no danger.”

The Cato Institute, an independent research organization in Washington D.C.,reported in September 2016 an American has a 1 in 3.64 billion chance per year of being murdered in a terrorist attack by a refugee.

Dunn cited this negligible threat alongside Canada’s reception of 40,000 Syrian refugees with no terrorist repercussions as further proof that refugees do not endanger the receiving country.

Moreover, Islamist groups have no interest in radicalizing refugees, whose admissions process can take up to 18 to 24 months, Dunn said.

Trump’s order shrinks the amount of refugees allowed in to the U.S. from President Obama’s proposed 110,000 to 50,000 after the 120 day ban, 30,000 of which have already been admitted.

“This is the biggest migration crisis since the end of World War II, and our answer is that we are doing nothing,” Dunn said.

Dunn visited refugee camps in Germany last year.

Black cops do not result in fewer police-related homicides From IDS reports

Research from IU’s School of Public and Environmental Affairs found that hiring more black police officers will not result in fewer police-related homicides of black citizens.

Professor of Political Science Sean Nicholson-Crotty, Associate Professor Jill Nicholson-Crotty and Associate Professor Sergio Fernandez began their research concluding that cities needed a massive increase in the

percentage of black officers to make a real difference. They found that adding only adding a few could make matters worse.

“There may be other good reasons to have a police force that is more representative,“NicholsonCrotty said in the release. “But there is little evidence that more black cops will result in fewer homicides of black citizens.”

If the number of black officers surpassed 35 to 40

Students specifically interjected during his denial that data exists supporting the increase of global temperature in a negative way.

Sophomore Stanley Njuguna said he and a group attended the speech after learning from a friend at Greenpeace about Anderson’s upcoming appearance on campus.

“We did some research about his statements, about PERC, we watched interviews of his,” Njuguna said.

“We took particular attention to his position on the Dakota Access Pipeline and we thought, this is egregious, this is intellectually dishonest, this is dangerous, this needs to be opposed.”

Anderson’s speech concluded with a chant from Njuguna himself — “IU, who do you think you fooled? Anderson works for fossil fuels.”

percent, there was a chance it could be associated with a lower number of police-involved shooting of black citizens. The article, “Will More Black Cops Matter? Officer Race and Police-Involved Homicides of Black Citizens” will appear in the March/April issue of Public Administration Review as part of a symposium on race and policing, according to the release.

The researchers used data from Mapping Police Violence, an advocacy group

that developed a database of police homicides in the 100 largest American cities in 2014 and a Washington Post collection of data on policeinvolved homicides to reach their conclusion, according to the release.

The authors say more investigation is necessary to understand the relationship between race, protection of peace and administration of justice.

showed how awful living conditions were there. “it’s horrible to condemn people to live like this,” Dunn said.

The order, in her opinion, will lead to the direct deaths of many refugees.

But Ashutosh said he fears that while the order sparked outrage, it could lead to a subconscious acceptance of racist behavior.

“It’s not that my students will become rabid racists, but my fear is that what will become acceptable will change,” Ashutosh said.

Ashutosh urged IU students to show solidarity with Muslim and undocumented students through greater activism.

Dunn expressed the acute financial need of refugee resettlement agencies, like Exodus Refugee Immigration Inc. in Indianapolis.

Sinno said he believes education and outreach are effective solutions for combatting raism and Islamaphobia.

“Once this kind of discourse becomes dominant, people seek to educate themselves about the topic,” he said. “And that creates more awareness that over time hopefully makes a difference.”

Food delivery restaurant to open in town

By Brooke McAfee bemcafee@indiana.edu @bemcafee24601

An Indianapolis-based business is bringing a fusion of specialized software and fresh food to its new Bloomington location.

Food delivery restaurant ClusterTruck started beta testing for its new Bloomington location at 2618 E. 10th St. Monday, and it will officially open to the public Thursday. Its first restaurant opened last April in downtown Indianapolis.

The Bloomington location includes both carry-out and delivery options. Customers can order online and the food is delivered free of charge. The menu includes a variety of options, including pizzas, hamburgers, salads, tater tots, tacos and rice dishes.

All of the food is made inside the restaurant, ClusterTruck digital marketing specialist Gwen Ragno said.

“What that means is that for every meal that we serve, we do our best to make it just about as fresh as it would be if you were sitting at a restaurant,” Ragno said.

ClusterTruck approaches delivery from a software perspective, CEO Chris Baggott said in a press release. He is also the co-founder of technology companies ExactTarget and Compendium Software.

“We asked the question: How can we solve the time problem?” Baggott said in the release. “Let’s deliver food

that isn’t 30 minutes old before it even gets into the hands of the delivery person.”

After people order online, the employees do not begin preparing the food until a driver is assigned to a specific delivery. The restaurant also only delivers to areas the drivers can reach in six minutes or less.

ClusterTruck’s specialized software and delivery method allows employees to get the timing right and ensure the

food is fresh when it arrives, Ragno said.

“What makes us special is that we are able to streamline the entire process to make sure that it is as fresh as possible, which makes for better food,” Ragno said.

As the kitchen staff rolls out pizza dough, flips hamburgers and prepares other meals, they are also keeping track of orders on a computer screen in front of them.

General manager Brian

Pickett said the software, which is installed on computers at every station in the kitchen, allows ClusterTruck to perfect the food preparation and delivery.

While the restaurant does not have any actual food trucks, its food is organized into different sections on the menu inspired by food trucks and street vendors. The Taqueria Rapido section, for example, has Mexican street food like tacos and burritos,

and the Baked Mac section has variations of macaroni and cheese.

Ragno said the variety of the menu is one of her favorite parts about ClusterTruck. This is helpful for groups of people who have trouble deciding on a particular restaurant. Ragno is a vegetarian, but she said both she and her meat-loving friends have plenty of options.

Man shot gun, unaware it was loaded From IDS reports

A Bloomington man arrested on a reckless homicide charge Tuesday told police he had not believed the rifle with which he shot his friend was loaded.

Malik Parker, 21, allegedly shot 18-year-old Anthony Andrews in the neck with a .22 caliber rifle while the two hung out at Andrews’s home.

Bloomington Police Sgt.

Dana Cole said the shooting occurred in the downstairs bedroom of the house on the 2500 block of South Camden Drive. Parker and Andrews had been smoking shatter, a potent drug with high THC content. A 17-year-old juvenile was also present.

Andrews and Parker sat on the bed, as did the rifle, Cole said. Parker saw the gun on the bed, picked it up, commented on its

heaviness and noticed it had a magazine. He did not check to see if the gun was loaded or ask if it was loaded, and he later told detectives he didn’t think it was loaded. The juvenile, who was also in the room, told police his back was turned when Parker fired the gun.

When he turned around, he saw Andrews, bleeding from his mouth, stand up and walk to the bathroom, where he collapsed.

The teenager called 911 and placed a towel on Andrews’s wound. After being interviewed by police, he was released to his parents.

Parker was arrested and taken to the Monroe County Correctional Center, where he’s held without bond.

The juvenile also lives in the house where the incident occurred, Cole said, but is not related to Andrews.

Mix of politics, religion controversial

By Christine Fernando ctfernan@indiana.edu | @christinetfern

When senior Tyra Meely slipped into the pews beside her family at her old church several years ago, she didn’t expect politics to be involved.

“He deserves our vote because he’s a patriot, and he supports life,” the pastor said about anti-abortion Vietnam War veteran John McCain during his 2008 campaign for president.

Meely said during the sermon the pastor told listeners that as Christians they should vote for McCain. A religious leader making a voting recommendation was something she saw as inappropriate for a religious organization.

“It didn’t rub me the right way at all,” she said. “It felt so uncomfortable.”

Meely said religious organizations that endorse specific candidates create a toxic environment for believers, which divides the community and alienates its members.

Like Meely, 66 percent of Americans believe houses of worship should not favor one candidate or another, according to a study by Pew Research Center released earlier this month.

In fact, in some cases, it is illegal for churches to endorse candidates. While churches are offered the First Amendment right to speak out on issues, churches that have filed as a nonprofit are barred from endorsing candidates in order to keep their tax-exempt status.

Rabbi Sue Silberberg said while she refrains from endorsing candidates in order to keep the Helene G. Simon Hillel Center’s nonprofit status, she also morally opposes such endorsements.

“It’s okay and inevitable for religion to affect political views, but never should a religious leader tell someone who to vote for,” Silberberg said.

However, Americans are more divided about whether or not religious organizations should give statements about political matters at all.

While 49 percent of Americans say houses of worship should stay out of politics, 47 percent say they should express their views, according to the same Pew research study.

Senior Arielle Martin said she is happy with how her own nondenominational Christian church, City Church For All Nations, approaches political issues.

While it does not pressure students to vote a certain way, Martin said it also does not shy away from speaking about politics that relate to Christian doctrine and directly affect believers.

“They’re not scared of having those necessary conversations,” Martin said.

As Chi Alpha treasurer, Meely said Chi Alpha, like City Church, does discuss politics. However, it speaks about political ideology in a general sense rather than bringing up specific policies and candidates.

Chi Alpha often speaks as a proponent for diversity and the Black Lives Matter movement, Meely said.

However, it does not directly oppose politicians or policies that may not adhere to the same principles of diversity.

“It’s our responsibility to call attention to general issues and make sure our members are knowledgeable of the issues,” Meely said. “But we don’t want to go and attack certain politicians and push away some of our members.”

On election day this year,

Meely said Derek Britt, the director of Chi Alpha, gave a speech about why some Christians voted for Hilary Clinton while others voted for Donald Trump. At the end of the speech, he revealed that he didn’t vote at all.

Meely said she’s not sure if she thinks religious leaders should tell members how they did or didn’t vote, but she said what most listeners got out of the speech was an understanding of both sides of the political divide.

“He did a great job bridging gaps, which is necessary to build a strong community and is the responsibility of religious groups dealing with all that political divisiveness,” Meely said.

Silberberg, on the other hand, said she feels strongly that she should not reveal how she voted to students so she can separate herself as a citizen from herself as a religious leader on campus.

However, Silberberg said she is also happy to approach politics in a general sense.

Unlike some faith communities, she also accepts religious groups speaking out about specific policies that don’t adhere to their religious principles as long as they don’t call out specific politicians. Most recently, Silberberg stood in direct opposition to President Trump’s recent travel ban on individuals from seven Muslim-majority countries.

She has also supported the formation of Students United Against Hatred, a campus organization meant to combat intolerance in the current political climate.

“We’re not anti-any candidate or anti-any politician,” Silberberg said. “But if there’s some policy that is against what we fundamentally believe to be right and

just, we will fight against it.”

Silberberg said the divisive nature of the current political climate means there is even more responsibility for religious organizations to speak directly about politics.

“With all that’s going on, it’s even more important for us to speak and educate people in our religious communities,” Silberberg said.

“It is a moral obligation and a responsibility to promote what’s right and just.”

She said many religious leaders, especially recently, take this too far by backing politicians themselves.

For example, Wayne Grudem of the Southern Baptist Church and Jack Graham of Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano, Texas, endorsed Trump while Thabiti Anyabwile of Anacostia River Church in Washington, D.C., claimed Trump’s presidency would be “catastrophic” in a blog post.

Since his inauguration, many religious leaders have continued to be vocal in their support and opposition to Trump, which Silberberg said can be problematic.

“If a politician does something that goes against our values, we will oppose it,” Silberberg said. “But I wouldn’t feel comfortable opposing a specific politician as a representative of Hillel as a whole.”

Meely said she also recognizes this increasingly blurry boundary between religious organizations and outright support or opposition to politicians.

“We should be discussing the big-picture issues,” Meely said. “Not attacking politicians and alienating people but engaging them in difficult conversations and having a real back-andforth discussion on what we believe.”

get my Thai red curry,” she said. “Everyone’s happy.”

Ragno said the restaurant has received positive response in Indianapolis, which allowed them to quickly expand. She said ClusterTruck plans to open more locations later this year.

“We wanted to try out a college campus town,” she said. “It will be different than who we are serving in Indianapolis. It will be a learning experience.”

The Bloomington Common Council’s weekly session Wednesday was a committee of the whole and considered two ordinances to pass at a later session.

Historic home preservation A house at 1033 S. Ballantine Road has been the subject of historical preservation. House owners Eric and Lee Sandweiss petitioned to have the ranch-style house be considered for historic preservation and named after the builder Nathan Silverstein.

The house, built in 1951, is

located in Maxwell Manors, which Silverstein helped develop, among other housing developments.

The Sandweisses said they believe the house is representative of architecture of the time period. The council recommended they pass the ordinance 8-0.

Medical development A property at 4023 W. Third St. has been proposed to be for commercial use instead of private development. The petitioner, GMSPavilion Properties, wants to open a dialysis center and another medical facility on the property. The council recommended they pass the ordinance 8-0.

MULLING IT OVER WITH MERM

EDITORIAL BOARD

We really are addicted to our phones

ILLUSTRATION BY MERCER SUPPINGER | IDS

Save dogs trapped in hot cars New law will allow good Samaritans to rescue dogs from locked cars A “Good Samaritan” bill recently passed through the Indiana House of Representatives that allows people to rescue dogs trapped in hot cars.

Many other states already have a similar bill in place, and the Editorial Board is happy to see Indiana taking action.

Currently, people who try to rescue pets from cars can be charged with damage of private property, but this bill will let them do this legally.

The Editorial Board feels this is an important and beneficial bill. Hundreds of dogs die annually because their owners leave them in cars while they run errands, which is cruel and unjust. The Fort Wayne Animal Care and Control Center received 269 calls

about dogs abandoned in cars from May 1 to September 30 in 2016. Temperatures in cars are much hotter than those outside. Eighty-six degrees outside can translate to up to 130 degrees inside the car in prolonged, direct sunlight.

This is extremely dangerous to dogs, essentially subjecting them to heat stroke.

They can suffer from brain damage and die in only 15 minutes, so it is important that people can rescue them from these cruel situations.

The bill takes a lot of circumstances into consideration. People must call 911 before breaking into a car to rescue a dog. While this law will help a lot of pets, people should still proceed with

caution. There is currently no legal precedent for what should happen if the rescued dog runs away or bites the person who rescues it. If the window is smashed, it could gravely injure the dog in the car. Therefore, the actions should be planned carefully, and it would be extremely beneficial for someone to help rescue the dog and not attempt to do it alone.

If you see a dog trapped in a hot car, there are still steps you can take before this bill is passed. Note the model, color and license plate number of the car so you can ask the store where the car is parked if you can use their intercom to notify the owner. If you cannot do this, call the police or

local law enforcement. Whatever happens, for the sake of the dog, it is necessary to stay at the scene until it has been resolved and the dog is rescued. If the owner cannot be contacted, the authorities take too long and the dog’s life is in imminent danger., you can still attempt to rescue the dog.

You must, however, have multiple witnesses who can attest to the urgency of the situation and you wait for authorities to arrive after you are done.

If this bill passes, many dogs will be rescued from potentially fatal situations. The Editorial Board is a strong proponent of the well-being and happiness of all dogs, so overall, this bill is great for keeping Indiana pets safe.

As I scrolled through BBC News the other day, I saw an article titled “Why are we addicted to our smartphones?” and my first thought was: “Oh jeez, not this again.”

Once I read the article, though, I changed my mind.

The article explained how we become addicted to social media and our smartphones and then explained how this negatively affects our life.

For once, I agreed with this type of article.

Alina Dizik, the author of the article, claims social media and smartphones in general give us a larger sense of anxiety than we realize.

Reading the article made me think about how I spend my time when I’m not in class.

When I get out of class, I immediately turn my phone on and check my notifications. When I get out of work I, again, turn my phone on and check my notifications. The act of checking missed notifications can take up to 30 minutes of my day. Those 30 minutes could be half of an episode of a Netflix original, or even a workout at the gym.

Dizik challenges readers to log off every once in a while, but she also acknowledges the anxiety that comes with that.

We fear missing out on some funny meme or lifechanging announcement our twice-removed cousin may make on Facebook.

Before I sat down to do my homework, I decided to put my phone on silent and set it far enough away from me that I wouldn’t grab it out of habit.

I began feeling anxious that I was missing an important phone call or maybe my roommate dying somewhere. I even felt itchy.

Miranda Garbaciak is a junior in creative writing.

The need to check my phone was so great that I used changing songs as an excuse to give in to the urge.

That’s ridiculous.

Yes, the anxiety of missing something on our phones is intimidating, but with that comes a constant anxiety about how you’re spending your time.

I know I have spent many nights bemoaning my procrastination yet there I sat tweeting about it.

Now I’m imagining what I can do with all the free time I will have once I finish my homework in a decent amount of time.

All throughout college, I thought I was doing alright because I had enough restraint to turn my phone off during class, a movie or some other social event.

I found myself being that person who was annoyed when I saw other people on their phones during a comedy show.

But I can’t even restrain myself from constantly checking my phone when I’m at home.

We spend so much time fearing what we might miss out on online that we miss out on doing well in school, having fun with our friends or experiencing the outside world.

Dizik said if we turn our phones off or log out of social media more often, the anxiety will lessen and we will begin to feel better and more productive.

She even said spending less time on social media or feeling anxious about social media can lessen depression.

I know we all don’t want to be depressed or anxious, so maybe we can help each other out. mmgarbac@umail.iu.edu

COLIN’S COLUMN

Fixing the cost of college

Trump’s America looks dystopian

College students are a diverse group of people from an assortment of backgrounds. However, there are a few topics that can easily unite us. From the simplicity of alcohol or free pizza, to the sweeping relief of class being canceled, certain concepts can bring us together.

One striking example of this is tuition.

Take a group of students, complain to them about the rising costs of college and you suddenly have a room full of friends. College costs are a problem that everyone acknowledges, but very few people work to solve, and oftentimes when we do broach the issue, we address the symptoms, not the roots.

This was evident in last year’s election. College students were some of the most ardent supports of Bernie Sanders because he wanted to provide free college to students and completely mitigate their debt burden.

Though on paper this sounds good, in practice this only exacerbates the problem. College costs are rising because we’ve shifted our perspective to view a bachelor of science or bachelor of arts as a necessity. As the adage goes, “A college degree is the new high school diploma.” This has resulted in

pressure on our high school graduates to go to college as a necessary step to attain success.

While it might seem strange to think of more educated citizens as a problem, this college-focused system has significant drawbacks.

Because the market is saturated with college degrees, they become a requirement for jobs, and more students take out loans. But simply making this free would mean that more students would go to college, further saturating the market.

This also means that students who don’t feel like they belong in college enroll simply out of social expectation, resulting in rising rates of dropouts. Plus, students end up going to graduate school to stand out, resulting in loans despite this policy. This process in which degrees become worth less and less is called “degree inflation,” and this is the root problem that forces this debt burden upon students.

But tuition costs aren’t the only problem derivative of degree inflation. In recent years internships have become a must in the working world. This is because the degrees themselves aren’t worth what they used to be, and because for all the

benefits of college, it oftentimes doesn’t give you actual experience in a workplace.

In reality, that’s what’s important. That’s why I advocate more internship opportunities out of high school, and not just for technical careers. I’m an advertising and marketing major, and it seems as though spending four years working in an advertising firm would be more useful for my career than four years listening to lectures.

Rather than spending millions to pay public universities to give out increasingly worthless degrees, the United States should have programs incentivizing businesses to hire interns out of high school. This would give high school graduates job experience and a feel for what it’s like to be an adult, while allowing those students who really want to go to college to do so. I love college, and I know a lot of people who do, but we need to stop acting like post-secondary education is a onesize-fits-all mold for society. ctdombro@umail.iu.edu @doctorthaddeus

In times of political hostility with a president that seems to somehow become more unfit to lead every single day, many comparisons are made between the Trump era and a “1984”-esque Orwellian dystopia. With a closer analysis, many shocking comparisons can be drawn between the current political climate and our favorite dystopian novels.

George Orwell’s “1984,” perhaps the most famous dystopian novel of all time, is a favorite for modern comparisons.

Recently, the media has been outraged over the emergence of fake news, fabricated stories with the goal of political gain, including stories that Hillary Clinton was running a child sex ring out of a Washington, D.C., pizza shop and that Donald Trump’s inauguration saw record-breaking attendance.

In Orwell’s “1984,” the Party releases fake news all the time in its attempt to brainwash its citizens.

News is released that Oceania is allied with Eastasia in a war against Eurasia, when a few days earlier they were allied with Eurasia in a war against Eastasia.

The government says the chocolate ration is increased to 20 grams, but it is actually a decrease from the former ration.

In the book the government uses fake news for its political advantage.

Another famous dystopian novel is Ray Bradbury’s “Fahrenheit 451.”

Books are burned regularly, withholding information from the people.

President Trump recently ordered communications lock downs on federal agencies like the EPA and the USDA, effectively withholding information from the people.

Many of these agencies, such as the National Parks Service, created “alternate” Twitter accounts as a means of protest and finding a way to continue to share the truth with the public.

This is too close to government censorship for comfort.

“It was a pleasure to burn” may now apply to our volatile climate change.

Margaret Atwood’s “The Handmaid’s Tale” is another dystopian novel from which we can draw modern day comparisons.

In the novel, the government is replaced by reli-

gious fanatics that restore order by grossly suppressing women’s rights.

President Trump recently signed an executive order that cuts off funding to women’s health organizations worldwide if they advocated for abortion access of any kind.

We are already seeing a regression of women’s rights under Trump, especially regarding abortion access.

His cabinet has the least amount of women a presidential cabinet has seen in the past 40 years.

At least the government is still allowing women to read, which is more than we can say for the government in Atwood’s novel.

Authors take inspiration from their surroundings and cultural climate, so it is no surprise legitimate fears that authors predicted have started to take root.

Luckily, circumstances in real life are nowhere near extreme as the cases in our favorite dystopian novels, but I would still keep a look out just in case Big Brother is watching. emmagetz@umail.iu.edu

Dalesandro proving key for IU

By Ben Portnoy bmportno@indiana.edu | @bportnoy15

Though senior swimmer Gia Dalesandro struggled to maintain mental game, she’s learned not to care.

“I think the mental part is the hardest part,” Dalesandro said. “I definitely used all my resources to help with that.”

In her freshman year, Dalesandro came in with a carefree and loose mentality that allowed her to excel in the pool. In her first season as a Hoosier, Dalesandro was named Big Ten Freshman of the Year and won the conference championship in the 200-yard butterfly with a Big Ten record of 1:53.95. Dalesandro also earned honorable mention All-America honors in the 200- and 400-yard medley relays.

However, in both her sophomore and junior seasons, Dalesandro’s mental state changed. She said she became more focused on the times and numbers as opposed to the actual swimming.

Although she was still posting solid results and earning postseason honors, including four All-America honors at the 2016 NCAA Championships, Dalesandro said she didn’t feel that she was swimming to her full capability.

“I think freshman year I was so good because I was so naïve,” Dalesandro said. “I was just like ‘yeah, this is fun.’

Then sophomore year I kind of elevated my expectations of that. I was worried about the numbers, stuff like that. Then my junior year I think I was just kind of going through the motions.”

As Dalesandro began to

lose her mental edge, she decided to take a step back going in to her senior season. After the 2016 Olympic trials Dalesandro spent the summer at home and took a break from swimming.

“Then I came back, and I was refreshed and excited to be back,” Dalesandro said. “I was happy to be here, instead of being like, ‘Oh I’m being forced to be here.’”

Thanks to the time off and help from her high school club coach Dave Krotiak, Dalesandro was able to refocus herself in preparation for her final year of competition.

“Our goals are always the same, which is that use the opportunities that you have,” Krotiak said. “She has swam at a high level, I’ve coached at a high level, and we both know what’s expected from each other, and so it’s an easy fit when she’s able to roll in and out of town. I usually ask her who she’s had in her season, what her needs are and then I try to accommodate those.”

For Dalesandro, Krotiak has proven to be a rock to lean on both as a swimmer and as a mentor not only last summer but throughout her career.

“He’s been such a resource to me,” Dalesandro said. “And so whenever I go home for Thanksgiving or Christmas or even last summer, for the whole summer he was working with me before trials. So he always has an open door.

I can always go in and either train with him or chat with him and we have a great relationship.”

Thus far, Dalesandro has lived up to all the expectations she had for her senior season

and has done so by keeping it simple.

“I haven’t put a whole lot of pressure on myself, just a couple minor goals,” Dalesandro said. “I’ve kind of just enjoyed the year, and I think that that’s really, really helped.”

This season Dalesandro won both 100- and 200-yard butterfly against Purdue and was named the Big Ten Swimmer of the Week on Jan. 24 by collegeswimming.com. Dalesandro also finished third in the 100-yard butterfly and second in the 200-yard butterfly at the USA College Challenge, a meet in which Team USA took on a squad of Big Ten All-Stars.

“She’s a leader by example,” IU Coach Ray Looze said.

“She wins a lot of races and just has a really good competitive engine.”

And with all the success Dalesandro had during the dual meet season, the Big Ten Championships last week offered a glimpse into what Dalesandro is capable of. At the Big Ten Championships, Dalesandro was named FirstTeam All-Big Ten after a number of high results including the defense of her 200-yard butterfly crown, an event she’s now won four years in a row.

But the real highlight of the week for Dalesandro came in the 100-yard butterfly, an event the Illinois native really didn’t have expectations for.

Dalesandro was matched up against Ohio State’s Zhesi Li, a Chinese swimmer who was banned from the sport in 2013 for a positive drug test. Looze said Li seemed to have 40 lbs on the much smaller and shorter Dalesandro.

“I said, ‘You know, Gia,

you’d really ruin her meet if you actually beat her,’ and she goes, ‘Oh that would be hilarious,’” Looze said.

Dalesandro took her coach’s remark to heart and swam an IU, conference, Big Ten meet and Boilermaker Aquatic Center record of 50.45 seconds.

“That hundred fly was so far and away on another level,” Looze said. “I mean, it was nice to see her defend her title in the two-fly and win four straight years — that’s incredible in and of itself — but watching that was unbelievable. I’m rarely surprised when I see a time.”

While Dalesandro still has the NCAA Championships ahead of her, she’s not as worried about the results, but simply swimming stress-free as her swim career nears its end.

“This is going to sound really bad, but not putting stress on yourself and not really caring about the outcome has been so nice for me,” Dalesandro said.

After NCAAs Dalesandro will take a health care recruiting job in Chicago. She will leave her stellar swim career behind her but not without a winning legacy.

“I will go and work and be a real-life person come May. I’m not sure if I’m looking forward to it or not, but it’ll definitely be different,” Dalesandro said.

As Dalesandro’s IU career winds down, Looze recognizes the strides she’s made during her time in Bloomington.

“Perseverance gets rewarded in the end,” Looze said. “And it was nice to see that happen to Gia,” Looze said.

IU running backs coach Deland McCullough has left IU to take the same position at Southern California, FootballScoop.com reported Wednesday morning.

McCullough, who began his tenure in Bloomington before the 2011 season, Deland has coached McCullough three running backs at IU who moved on to play in the NFL. After playing at IU under McCullough, Stephen Houston broke into the NFL with the New England Patriots and is currently competing for a job on the Baltimore Ravens roster.

Former Hoosier running back Tevin Coleman rushed for 2,036 yards during the 2014 season and was named an All-American. He now plays for the Atlanta Falcons and recently lost Super Bowl

XLI. Jordan Howard rounds out the trio of professional running backs influenced

by McCullough, as he ran for 1,213 yards in his one season at IU after transferring from Alabama-Birmingham.

Howard now starts for the Chicago Bears and was named to the 2017 Pro Bowl.

Recently-departed Hoosier running back Devine Redding rushed for 1,000 yards for two straight seasons in 2015 and 2016 for the first time in IU history since 1990-91.

After Kevin Johns, Shawn Watson, Greg Frey and James Patton left the program, McCullough was the last offensive coach remaining from former IU Coach Kevin Wilson’s staff.

New offensive line coach Darren Hiller will be replacing Frey as run game coordinator, but there have been no names mentioned as a possible replacement for the running back coach position.

TRACK & FIELD

Hoosiers get Big Ten athlete of week honors From IDS reports

The Big Ten announced Wednesday IU junior Katherine Receveur and freshman Kyle Mau were named the conference’s track athletes of the week.

This was the third week in a row the IU track and field team has had an athlete win the honor.

Both Mau and Receveur played crucial parts in securing the wins for their distance medley relay teams during the weekend at the Alex Wilson Invitational in South Bend, Indiana.

Receveur finished out the women’s distance medley relay with a mile split of 4:33.4. Mau also anchored for the men’s distance medley relay with a mile split of 4:00.3.

Seniors Taylor Williams and Olivia Hippensteel and junior Brenna Calder helped Receveur in recording the second-fastest time in the NCAA this season.

The Hoosiers broke the Big Ten Conference record

with a time of 10:55.94.

This is the third time this season that Receveur has won the weekly award, and each time she has broken a school record before being honored.

This is the first time in his career that Mau has been named Big Ten Athlete of the Week.

Joining him in the men’s distance medley relay were juniors Joe Murphy and Daniel Kuhn and sophomore Markevious Roach.

The men’s side finished first in the event with a time of 9:28.14.

That time currently ranks as the fastest in the NCAA this season, as well as the second fastest in school history.

The men’s and women’s track and field teams will compete in the Big Ten Championships this weekend.

The conference tournament takes place at the SPIRE Institute in Geneva, Ohio.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Seniors come up big in home finale

By Jake Thomer jjthomer@indiana.edu @jake_the_thomer

On a night when IU women’s basketball honored its five seniors, it’s only fitting that the veterans spearheaded the Hoosiers in a thrilling double overtime victory.

It’s difficult to pick the one senior who left the biggest mark on Wednesday’s 80-77 win over Iowa that propelled IU to a 9-6 record in the Big Ten, but each got her moment to shine on Senior Day. Three fourth-year Hoosiers started the game — guards Karlee McBride and Alexis Gassion, and forward Jenn Anderson. All three were on the court for at least 38 minutes each, and the trio combined for 42 points.

Two other seniors, guards Amber Deane and Tyshee Towner, were both on the court in the closing seconds of the game as Iowa attempted to battle back from a deficit in the second overtime.

“In a game like that, everyone that comes in plays a big part,” junior forward Amanda Cahill said. “That just goes to show a lot about the senior class this year and how versatile they are and how much they give to the team.”

Aside from Cahill’s miraculous 3-pointer that sent the game into overtime, it

Anderson, who finished with 20 points in 41 minutes, made IU’s first basket of overtime and set the tone the rest of the way. She finished the game with 10 makes in 16 shot attempts and collected six rebounds.

McBride scored 12 points, but her game-tying 3-pointer as IU’s shot clock expired with 30 seconds left in the first overtime was one of the biggest shots of the game. Moren said McBride’s drive to win was on full display.

“We had good juice from Karlee, I thought her leadership really showed for her teammates,” Moren said. “She and Tyra are so competitive, and just desperately wanted her teammates to get stops.”

When junior guard and IU’s leading scorer Tyra Buss fouled out with just more than two minutes remaining in the second overtime period, it was Deane who checked in to replace her, and Gassion who took the game over.

Seconds after Buss fouled out, Gassion hit a layup to

extend IU’s lead to five points.

When Iowa had the ball with less than 30 seconds to go and trailed by just three points, it was Towner, a defensive specialist, who checked in to help stifle the Hawkeyes.

At the end of the game, an eight-minute tribute video to the seniors was shown on the scoreboard at Assembly Hall, and coaches and players alike

sat sprawled along the Hoosier bench, reflecting on the quintessential Senior Day victory — won by the seniors, for the seniors.

“I’m really, really pleased that we made it possible that they have not just a memory, but I think a very special memory that we created tonight for those guys,” Moren said.

That was just the beginning. The first overtime was much like regulation — back and forth. Iowa got its lead out to 72-66, but IU wasn’t going to let this game slip. Not on Senior Day, not with an NCAA Tournament bid on the line. IU rallied behind all three of its senior starters to tie it up at 73 and sent it to another five-minute overtime period.

In the second overtime, IU took control, but things got quite interesting inside Assembly Hall when junior guard Tyra Buss fouled out with 2:22 left. She left with a team-high 21 points. She had played the entire game.

Now, IU would have to go on without its point guard and go-to player. They were up three at the time, and from there were able to hold off a stingy Iowa team.

“That wasn’t the plan, but I wouldn’t have wanted to go out any other way,” IU senior Karlee McBride said.

“Fans stayed in it, we stayed in it and to feel that feeling of being in Assembly Hall, the game was on the line.

That’s something you dream of.”

Moren thanked the crowd in her postgame press conference after the game and said they were tremendous. She praised the resiliency of her team, which was down 6-0 early and only led for just more than nine minutes compared to Iowa’s 27 minutes. In a split decision, the Hoosiers just

“It tells you a little bit about who we are as a team,” Moren said. “We’ve had some peaks and valleys.

OSCARS 2017

Predicting the major categories

By Kate Halliwell khalliwe@indiana.edu @Kate__Halliwell

This year’s Academy Awards have been as competitive as ever, and while “La La Land” may seem to have a lock on some of the major awards, upsets are never out of the question. While contenders like Damien Chazelle and Mahershala Ali almost certainly will win their categories, who should win?

Best Picture Oscars night is going to end with a “La La Land” victory, and there’s nothing anyone can do about it.

While a few critics are making a last minute stand for “Moonlight” or “Hidden Figures,” the odds that either of those films can overtake “La La Land” are incredibly slim.

That said, a victory for “Moonlight” would go down in history as not only deserved, but necessary. Keep hope alive.

Will win La La Land Should win Moonlight Best Director Even more of a lock than a Best Picture win for “La La Land” is a Best Director win for Damien Chazelle.

Weekend would love to see “Moonlight” director Barry Jenkins slip in and upset, but Chazelle is an exciting, talented young director, and the Academy won’t miss this opportunity to reward him.

Will win Damien Chazelle Should win Barry Jenkins Best Actor in a Leading Role Casey Affleck had a lock on his Oscar until the very last minute, when Denzel Washington surprised everyone by beating him at the Screen Actors Guild Awards. Both men gave incredible performances in their respective films, but the controversy surrounding Affleck’s past sexual assault allegations may finally have turned the tide in Washington’s favor.

Considering that Washington gave his best ever performance while directing “Fences,” few could complain about a win for him. That said, our money is on Affleck to power through the backlash and take home gold.

Will win Casey Affleck Should win Denzel Washington

Best Actress in a Leading Role The Best Actress category is overflowing with talent this year, from Natalie Portman in “Jackie” to Ruth Negga in “Loving.” Isabelle Huppert received her first ever Oscar nomination this year for “Elle,” and a win for the delightful French actress would please even the stodgiest of critics. Even so, Emma Stone has dominated awards season so far, and will almost certainly do the same on Oscars night.

Will win Emma Stone Should win Isabelle Huppert

Game of Thrones +H¶V D PLV¿W²EXW LV KH D PXUGHUHU"

Best Actor in a Supporting Role It’s Mahershala Ali’s world, and we’re all just living in it. Not only did Ali give a painfully real performance as drug-dealer Juan in “Moonlight,” but he blessed us with his presence in “Hidden Figures” as well. There’s no way he doesn’t win his first Oscar this year — the other Supporting Actor contenders have surely accepted it by now, and so should we.

Will win Mahershala Ali Should win Mahershala Ali

Best Actress in a Supporting Role Should the other nominees even bother to show up? Viola Davis has had this category locked down for months. Our only regret is that she’s nominated in the supporting category, when her role in “Fences” was clearly a lead. But hey, any Oscar for Viola is better than an Oscar for anyone else.

Gather begins pendulum-making classes

By Liz Meuser emeuser@umail.iu.edu | @Liz_Meuser

Three women gathered Wednesday night at Gather :homemade shoppe & Co., a local retail gift shop in Fountain Square Mall, for the first Copper Electroformed Pendulum jewelry making class.

The event was taught by jewelry designer and certified crystal healer Jessica Ann Miller, who guided participants in choosing a gemstone and creating their own pendulum.

Miller began designing jewelry four years ago when she created her jewelry business Wood Merkaba and began teaching classes when friends started asking her how she created her pieces. She now leads events at Gather once or twice a month.

Miller creates her jewelry through a process known as electroforming — a form of

modern alchemy that creates a copper coating over stones through electrodeposition.

Jewelry pieces are placed in a bath of copper sulfate liquid with electricity running through it. Through an attraction of particles, the copper then grows over the gemstone creating a metal plating effect.

Electroforming is Miller’s outlet for creating. She uses pendulums and crystals frequently in her practice of alternative medicine, as a healing modality in working with the human electromagnetic field, or auras.

“The pendulum is a tool that I use, and a lot of other people use, as a healing modality,” Miller said.

According to Miller, crystals help balance personal energies or chakras.

“In general, crystals are the purest form of color vibration,” she said. “So they can hold the vibration of that

chakra better than any other material there is.”

Miller wears a fluorite stone, known for its absorption of negative energies, in a necklace she designed that she uses as her personal pendulum.

“The green fluorite also connects to the heart so it has that kind of love energy, but it helps me just have a clearer thought process,” she said.

Pendulums are typically held in the dominant hand, between index and thumb fingers hanging free. The process begins by ‘cleaning it,’ wringing out the chain of old energy.

By Miller’s instruction they asked the pendulum to show them what ‘yes’ and ‘no’ means by asking it questions out loud or mentally. The more specific the question, the more evident the pendulum’s answer.

After the demonstration,

Farewell tour of ‘Mamma Mia!’ visits IU Auditorium

By Sanya Ali siali@indiana.edu | @siali13

The final run of Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus’ “Mamma Mia!” will come to IU this week.

The first show of this farewell tour took place Wednesday, and the second and final performance will happen at 8 p.m. Thursday at the IU Auditorium.

Maria Talbert, managing director of the IU Auditorium, said the show’s return was well anticipated. “‘Mamma Mia!’ is a Bloomington favorite and consistently one of our most requested events,” Talbert said. “We are thrilled we were able to schedule them for one more visit during the tour’s farewell year.”

The show follows the story

of Donna, single mother to free-spirited Sophie, who is preparing for her wedding.

As Sophie prepares to walk down the aisle, she decides to embark upon a journey to figure out the identity of her birth father.

The musical celebrates the music of ABBA with hits such as “Dancing Queen” and “Take a Chance on Me.” Niki Badua, who plays Lisa in this production, says she has never performed this show at the IU Auditorium.

“I am very excited to perform here,” Badua said. “I am looking forward to the beautiful theater — I’ve seen photos, and the house looks gorgeous. I’ve also heard that the audiences are really wonderful at IU and that’s always fun for us because we feed off the energy of the audience.”

ROOKIE ARTIST

Classroom without pressures of grades can refresh students I never really considered myself to be type A until I arrived in Florence.

Like many students, school has been a huge priority for me. For as long as I can remember, my brain has been wired to know it’s important to do well in school.

Obviously, my drive comes from wanting to have a career, but at times I am guilty of just wanting the satisfaction of an A on my transcript. I didn’t realize how hung up on the alphabet I truly am until I began to feel my grasp on straight As in Florence slip in the most unexpected class: watercolor painting.

It was the second week of class, and our first assignment was due in just a couple days. I had to recreate four postcards with watercolors. I was more panicked than I had been for an exam or assignment in a while. We started out simple, by drawing bottles and mixing colors, but I found myself constantly comparing the work of other students to mine. I hadn’t painted or probably even colored since middle school, so I was extremely intimidated.

I decided to come into the art studio outside of class to catch up. My art professor, Jamie Morris, came up to see what I wanted to work on. Before I knew it, a jumble of words were flying out my mouth, saying everything from “I am so bad at art” to “I have no idea how I will finish all of these postcards on time.”

When I finally took a breath Morris glanced down at me and said, “I seriously recommend you just calm down. Just start painting.” I went to say something about having a bad grade, and she rolled her eyes and said, “Oh, just have fun!”

Before I could say anything else a paintbrush was in my hand, a bucket of water to my left and a blank canvas in front of me.

Morris had walked away so my nervous breakdown about my inability to even draw stick figures was over whether I

liked it or not. I had nothing left to do other than complete the task.

I felt myself being hesitant at first, thinking that mixing the wrong colors or using too big of a brush would lead to imperfections. I quickly realized perfection isn’t the goal in watercolor painting, in fact it’s letting the mistakes turn into something unexpectedly distinct.

As I put in my ear buds and allowed myself to paint not because I wanted an A or because I wanted my paintings to be a replica of the postcards I purchased, I found bliss.

Morris’s rather blunt advice to just calm down became evident with each new stroke

MAMMA MIA! Tickets $22 –48 for students 8 p.m. Thursday IU Auditorium

The farewell tour is one that leaves cast and crew with mixed emotions, Badua said.

“For one, we are so blessed to be part of something so iconic like “Mamma Mia!” and to be the last cast that gets to perform this version of it is really an amazing overwhelming sensation,” Badua said. “There is a little bit of sadness knowing that this is the last year, but because we know we’re all doing this together it feels like a huge celebration of years and generations of hard work.”

Badua said what she will miss the most about this show is its ability to take people on a journey full of nostalgia and an escape from the mundane.

“I think that what will be missed the most is the light and energy that a show like

“Mamma Mia!” brings no matter where we go,” Badua said. “We could be in the middle of nowhere or in a big city and the happiness this show brings to the audience, even just for a moment, is a surreal experience.”

The tour has given cast and crew the opportunity to see all parts of the United States and Canada, and Badua said she has appreciated the opportunities to discover new cities along the way.

“Some of my favorite highlights as we’ve traveled through the country is finding all these towns that I never knew existed and

really falling in love with them,” Badua said. “It’s always the smaller towns that we’re in for one night or two that show us so much love.

The audiences go crazy during the final bows and it always reminds me that I truly have one of the greatest jobs out there.”

IU art museum temporarily closing

By Nick Trombola ngtrombo@indiana.edu

Starting May 14, the Eskenazi Museum of Art will close for renovations and will potentially not reopen for at least two years.

The renovations will include a variety of technical changes to the building, director David Brenneman said.

“The museum was fully opened in 1982, and buildings of course get old, and their systems for regulating temperature and humidity begin to fail,” Brenneman said. “So, first and foremost, we need to replace those to maintain the integrity of our collection.”

Exchanging electrical systems is just one part of the renovations. The museum also plans on expanding into the fine arts library, creating a new education center, emphasizing their conservation center, and revitalizing underused and under-appreciated collections, Brenneman said.

“We plan on bringing forward and highlighting several museum functions, like the conservation and education centers, to help enable both

students and teachers to really engage with our collections,” Brenneman said.

While Brenneman said he believes the museum’s plans will ultimately prove beneficial to the University and visitors alike, some people are not as enthusiastic about the renovations as others. Undergraduate student and museum regular Evan O’Neal said he is dreading the quickly approaching closure.

“I know that these renovations will probably be worthwhile when they’re finally done,” O’Neal said.

“But this year I’ve been going at least once or twice a week, and I obviously won’t be able to study or look around anymore once it closes. I’m a sophomore now, too, so I might graduate and already be gone before it’s even finished.”

However, the museum is aware of the inconveniences the renovations will produce for frequent visitors like O’Neal and will provide several large events to compensate. Along with weekly and monthly functions, new exhibitions will consistently be featured at the museum

EXHIBITIONS OPENING SOON “A Step In Time, Across the Line: Recent Work by Chee Wang Ng” A contemporary artist from New York, Chee will use largescale photography, video and art installations to shed light on Chinese culture.

“Abstract Painting in Europe, 1949-1968” American post-war abstract art is widely known, but this exhibition will instead showcase paintings from its lesser known European counterpart, as well as provide context as to what affect the Second World War had on art in Europe.

“MFA Thesis Exhibitions” There will also be three individual rounds of exhibitions from graduate MFA candidates. Information on which artists will be featured will be released at the end of February.

until the closure.

“If you have to pick a day to go, the first Thursday of every month this semester is the best time to visit the museum,” manager of museum public relations and marketing Abraham Morris said.

The appropriately named “First Thursdays” are free festivals in the Showalter plaza and feature live music, local food and museum activities.

March and April focus on Women’s History Month and contemporary Chinese culture, respectively.

In addition to First Thursdays, there will be a round

“excellent, inventive, impressive”

of special exhibitions this spring, happening March 11 until May 7. These exhibitions include the photography of Chinese artist Chee Wang Ng, post-World War II abstract paintings and collections from IU MFA candidates.

“The events we have planned will be a solid way to send us off, but I don’t want to focus too much on the farewell aspect,” Brenneman said. “Instead I’d rather look to the future of the museum, and I have really high hopes of what we’re gonna achieve through the renovations.”

of the paintbrush. My obsession with the grade got in the way of the reason I even decided to take art in Italy, to have fun.

Four weeks later, and now I giggle to myself as I just heard a fellow watercolor painting student say, “I hate how this isn’t graded objectively.”

Perhaps the opinion and approval we seek is too often from parents, professors or whoever else, and not the person we are always around, ourselves. I know my postcards aren’t a masterpiece, but I smile when I look at them, and quite frankly that’s all that matters. apoudrie@umail.iu.edu

Diverse nominees don’t fix #OscarsSoWhite

By Taylor Hurt tasihurt@umail.iu.edu @TaylorHurt_

Awards season is upon us, and with each passing week, viewers are dazzled by one red carpet after another. But there’s more to the awards season than gowns, red carpets and acceptance speeches.

For many, it’s about a country that can’t divest itself from racism, even in art.

Last year, editor and activist April Reign, known on Twitter as ReignOfApril, created the hashtag #OscarsSoWhite to illuminate the lack of diversity at the Academy

An infographic cited by CNN shows that from 19272015, 98 percent of producers and writers and 88 percent of actors in the various branches of the Academy were white. So the Oscars, historically and up to the modern day, have indeed been “so white.”

But this year, it appears the tides are changing. Seven actors of color are nominated for awards, including Octavia Spencer, who is gunning for her second win.

storytelling of people of color, especially black artists, are just as poignant and relatable as the art of white creatives. Art is the creative expression of the human experience.

It is not only important that these stories be told and nominated, but also that they be awarded. Not just for the sake of recognition, but because they are worthy. It is condescending to nominate people of color for awards as a means to pacify. So when the Oscars nominate and award actors and creators of color solely for their art, then there can be a new hashtag.

Until then, #OscarsSoWhite it is.

OSCARS 2017

The case for each Best Picture nominee “ARRIVAL” The year’s most grounded study of human relationships and the connections between them also included alien visitors and time travel. Historically, major awards shows hesitate to honor science fiction films with nominations, but “Arrival” transcended.

Amy Adams’ performance blends introspection and insight, which earned her a nomination.

She also managed to find pathos while playing opposite giant, multi-limbed special effects creatures. Her “Enchanted” and “The Muppets” roles may have given Adams a leg up on carrying imaginary conversations, but there hasn’t been a human-CGI relationship this meaningful since 1984’s “The NeverEnding Story.”

There are few things moviemakers love more than delving into the past and the thin filaments that separate what was from what is. Director Denis Villeneuve manages to avoid most, if not all, of the tropes associated with time travel and retrospection, even as he weaves together a storyline that is as circular as its aliens’ language.

— Anne Halliwell “FENCES” Anyone who took an AP English class in the last few decades has probably read “Fences” by August Wilson. The play, which was written in 1983, details the struggle of a black family in 1950s Pittsburgh.

Former on-stage “Fences” alumni Denzel Washington and Viola Davis returned to the roles they played on the stage as Troy and Rose Maxson. This familiarity with their roles may have contributed to their on-screen performances, and at least Davis will almost certainly walk away with an Oscar for her work.

Wilson’s words are just as relevant today as they’ve ever been, and the way Washington

has brought them to life is a masterclass in faithful stageto-screen adaptation. While “Fences” may not be as uplifting or cinematically exciting as other 2017 Best Picture nominees, it’s one of the most important films of the year.

— Kate Halliwell “HACKSAW RIDGE” “Hacksaw Ridge” is the most recent directorial effort from Academy Award winner Mel Gibson, following 2006’s “Apocalypto.” This film stars Andrew Garfield as Desmond Doss, a young man living in Virginia when WWII starts. With his strong morality and passion for doing good and helping others, he enlists to join the army, becoming one of the greatest soldiers the world has ever seen, winning a Medal of Honor — without ever firing a single bullet.

“Hacksaw Ridge” is the best superhero film of the year, hands down. Gibson’s film “Braveheart” won his previous Best Picture Oscar in 1996, and his return to the war genre is just as powerful as his previous efforts. Garfield gives a career-defining performance as Doss, and viewers will have a hard time looking away, even during hard-to-watch moments.

— Blake Schwarz “HELL OR HIGH WATER” What I expected going into this film: a pretty good heist movie with some decent, but forgettable characters. What I got: an absolutely hilarious, action-packed film about two bank-robbing brothers with an incredible amount of depth, and two lovable officers of the law who have to catch them.

Both of these groups of people are ones you want to side with in the movie, and they’re both equally well-written and performed. The chemistry between the characters is highly

Nine films will compete for the Best Picture Oscar Sunday night. Although “Moonlight” and “La La Land” are most critics’ bets for the top award, none of the contenders deserves to be overlooked. Below, the arguments for each of the nominated films.

entertaining and the dialogue keeps the film going until the very end. This is the underdog film of the year, and it’s one for the ages as well, solidifying Taylor Sheridan’s reputation as a writer to watch out for.

— Blake Schwarz “HIDDEN FIGURES” “Hidden Figures” is one of the most necessary and entertaining movies of 2016. It is a great portrait of the strength of the human spirit in the face of systemic prejudice. This movie deals with heavy issues without being dour.

Excellent performances, writing and production design contribute some great entertainment value.

This film is based on the true story of three black women who worked for NASA in the early 1960s. They aren’t recognized for their brilliance in a country that treats them as second class citizens. Nevertheless, they use their intelligence to achieve professional satisfaction.

The story of “Hidden Figures” should be more well known.

Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson had to fight against great prejudice as they advanced America in the space race. This film does a service simply by telling a story that should be a part of every United States history class.

— Jesse Pasternack “LA LA LAND” “La La Land” has the opportunity to make Oscars history. With 14 nominations, it could tie the record for most Oscar wins with “Ben-Hur” and “Titanic.”

Those films have 11 Oscars each, which means that “La La Land” could actually set its own record on Sunday.

If “La La Land” wins Best Picture, it will be the first musical to do so since “Chicago” in 2003. It also could be the first musical that was not based on a stage show to win

Best Picture since the 1944 movie “Going My Way.” But “La La Land” is more than just a potential name to know for pop culture trivia night. It is also the most entertaining and audacious of the Best Picture nominees. The toe-tapping melodies by Justin Hurwitz will stay with you long after you leave the theater. No other movie in 2016 could match its ambitious set pieces. Whether with a jam-packed opening number on a freeway, or a dance among the stars, “La La Land” displays a great ability to astonish.

— Jesse Pasternack “LION” Every year, the Best Picture race has at least one crowdpleasing tearjerker. This year, Garth Davis’ “Lion” filled that role to the extreme. Based on the autobiographical novel “The Long Way Home,”“Lion” tells the true story of Indian orphan turned Australian adoptee Saroo Brierley.

“Lion” may be labeled a tearjerker, but beyond its emotional pull, it’s an artistic and impressive adaptation of Brierley’s story. With capable directing from Davis, not to mention a gorgeous score and some of the most beautiful cinematography of the year, “Lion” isn’t just in this race for sentimentality’s sake.

It’s just as deserving as any other film in the Best Picture race, and if its nomination means we get to see Sunny Pawar and Dev Patel together onstage to adorably present their film, all the better.

— Kate Halliwell “MANCHESTER BY THE SEA” “Manchester by the Sea” is an original movie by writer/ director Kenneth Lonergan about a handyman named Lee, played

by Casey Affleck, who loses his brother to heart disease and then has to step in to care for his nephew.

This movie works because of the characters and the performances that bring them to life, keeping them feeling like real people removed from the audience only by a screen.

The story, told partly through flashbacks, jumps around in time and is never easy to predict.

Watching Lee grow as a character in the present and the past was a great experience.

“Manchester by the Sea” is raw, real, honest and true, and although it won’t be everyone’s favorite, it’s definitely one that you should watch when you get the chance.

— Blake Schwarz “MOONLIGHT” “Moonlight,” an anthology film written and directed by Barry Jenkins, is a story about a gay black boy who grows into a man and struggles to find his identity in the world. Jenkins and the cast did a beautiful job in capturing this story; everything from the writing to the directing and editing was marvelous and emotionally powerful.

In a narrative technique similar to “Boyhood,” the audience visits the lead character only during key moments in his life, which separate the film into its effective threeact structure. With each act, lead character Chiron advances further along in his life as the world forms him into something new. Jenkins’ vision was outstanding, which is apparent from the very first scene and some breathtaking rotating camera work. The story is not only timely, but incredibly beautiful.

Simply saying that “Moonlight” is moving is criminally understating the emotional impact this film has on the audience; it’s heartbreaking, as well as heartwarming, and easily one of the most unforgettable films of 2016.

— Blake Schwarz
