As a pre-service teacher, Katie Russell often reads to the class. So far, while she’s been at Templeton Elementary, the class has read several “Junie B. Jones” books.

ROOM L9
IU senior to enter profession in the midst of a state-wide teacher shortage By Alexa Chryssovergis aachryss@indiana.edu | @achryssovergis
On her first day in Room L9 at Templeton Elementary School, Katie Russell is all soft smiles and soothing, soprano tones. She watches from the sidelines in Room L9 with a bemused expression crossing her face, smiling at kindergarteners — 5-yearolds with energy levels too high — as they walk into the classroom. It’s her first day of field experience as a senior at IU. Every Wednesday for the semester, she’ll come into the same room and greet familiar faces. The field experience is required of education students and is meant to prepare them to lead their own classroom. Russell is 21, and within a year she’ll begin a career in a struggling field. She said she has known she has wanted to teach since freshman year when she changed her major, even though it meant summer classes and six semesters jammed with at least 18 credit hours so she could graduate on time. Nearly every teacher she’s encountered — and people who know teachers, too — has warned her against this job. You want to be a teacher? Don’t do this. Don’t throw away your life doing this. You’re going to regret this decision. It’s not worth it. You don’t want this job. *** There’s a teacher shortage in Indiana. Schools are in need, and the job is harder than ever. Russell is well aware of the struggles teachers face: an overload of standardized tests, poor pay and general lack of community respect. On her first day at Templeton, she will learn more about the obstacles to being a good teacher and a happy person at the same time. Though she said she knows what’s at stake, that doesn’t stop her from assuming her coddling voice. It is in stark contrast to the strictly serious voice of the Jen Waltz, the kindergarten teacher whose class she’s observing. “Hi,” Russell says softly, as she smiles and
waves to the kids as Waltz bustles around setting up activities for the day. “Miss Waltz, do we have gym today?” asks a girl with a long black ponytail. “Look at the board,” Waltz answers without glancing up. The girl skips over to the whiteboard, ponytail swinging, and sees “physical education” under the date — Sept. 23, 2015 — in kindergarten teacher handwriting — crisp and pointy and curvy all at once. Under the board, a table is set back from the rest of the room. Russell said she later noticed it was filled with stacks of common formative assessments, or CFAs. Russell said she knows the heavy focus on standardized testing can be problematic for schools, but she doesn’t know much about CFAs. After subbing for three years and being in several classrooms, relating to the kids is easy. It’s the classroom management that might not be so simple. The day starts with breakfast — eaten in the classroom, free for many students, just like lunch, because of the low-income population at Templeton. The rest of Waltz’s students trickle in and begin practicing their J’s. Some have already begun to master their letter-writing. Others have wobbly J’s. Russell walks around, taking notes and smiling. Nonsensical chatter percolates throughout the room. “One-two-three, eyes on me!” Waltz says, and it’s clear she’s practiced this many times. “One-two, eyes on you!” her class says back. The talking stops. Russell notices Waltz knows how to recognize problematic situations and easily sidestep them. She knows when a temper tantrum is just for attention or when her kids are tired or cranky. “Down here, you’re teaching them how to be learners, you’re teaching skills,” Waltz says to Russell later in the day. Normally, the day is split up so students are in “small group time” for 25 minutes followed by a 90-minute literacy block. After that, Wednesdays consist of lunch, then math, Spanish, specials, snack and time Waltz typically spends reading from a
chapter book or watching a short video. “Can I please have hands up in a bubble?” Maybe half the class responds by raising their arms in a “bubble” shape, and Waltz isn’t satisfied yet. She asks again. “If I have to ask a third time, it’s a clip move.” At the threat of a dreaded clip move, the class obeyed. It is the first time all day Waltz has brought up the clips, but it won’t be the last. Every student in the class has a clip on a green slot — “READY TO LEARN.” If they do something good, they can be rewarded by having their clip moved to “GOOD CHOICES”, “GREAT JOB” or “FANTASTIC.” As a consequence for bad behavior, Waltz can move a clip to “THINK ABOUT IT,” “TEACHER’S CHOICE” or “PARENT CONTACT.” The kids alternate between stations to practice phonetic skills before it’s time for lunch, which means another several minutes of scrambling and another “one-twothree, eyes on me.” Through the chaos, Russell smiles softly and continues taking notes. *** On this Wednesday, Waltz doesn’t have recess duty, which means lunch to herself followed by planning time. She normally eats lunch with her closest colleagues, Margaret Shields and Chloe Nelson. The three are the only teachers at Templeton who focus only on kindergarten. However, on this Wednesday, Waltz spends her free time asking Russell if she has any questions. Russell asks about the school’s report card, which has gone through a recent revamp, leaving teachers confused and frustrated. Instead of running on a letter scale, it’s based off of a 4-point scale. Teachers are expected to rate their students’ abilities at the beginning of the year and then again at the end. Russell listens as Waltz explains her concern the teachers don’t have enough
It’s 8 a.m. Thursday. Students living in Read Center slowly scatter to their respective classes while appearing overwhelmed and tired. Signs posted on the glass doors leading to the Curry wing read “Last night’s false alarm was pulled by a fellow resident ... tonight’s ‘false alarm’ could kill.” Workers in Read’s Crimson Cafe fire up the grill and sell cups for the cafe’s self-serve Hubbard & Cravens coffee. “The fire alarms have been going off,” one said to another. “They went off in the rain the other night. My roommate’s definitely sick because of it.” Buildings have been evacuated sometimes multiple times a day throughout the past week. Early Wednesday morning alarms sounded three times. Sophomore Anna Mayfield lived in Forest Quad last year and said she enjoyed her residence hall experience — having food prepared for her and living close to academic buildings on campus. Mayfield has been doing anything she can to get some sleep before her 9 a.m. music theory class, one she struggles to stay awake during on a normal day. This week she has crashed in both an off-campus hotel and an apartment and opted not to sleep in her own room in Read. “It’s hard to stay focused on a normal day,” Mayfield said. “But with the lack of sleep, it’s awful. It’s everything I have to keep going.” IU spokesperson Mark Land said the alarms are primarily being set off in Read’s Curry wing. There have been more than 20 false alarms in seven days, likely caused by disruptions to smoke detectors in the building’s sprinkler heads. Land said in some instances it appeared that white spray, possibly deodorant or an aerosol spray, was used to trigger the alarms. When sensors are triggered in the Curry wing, the whole building must leave — displacing about 500 students from their rooms for sometimes more than 30 minutes at 3, 4 and sometimes 5 in the morning. Each alarm must be treated as if it were real. “We know that this is inconvenient,” Land said. “We know that nobody wants to get out in shorts and T-shirts at 4 in the morning when it’s 50 degrees outside. We’re asking that people bear with us as much as possible because we’re treating every one SEE ALARMS, PAGE 6

Alarm timeline FIELD HOCKEY
Hoosiers battle Scarlet Knights in finale By Zain Pyarali zpyarali@iu.edu | @ZP_IDS
The senior class had two career conference wins coming into this season. Now it’s going for the program’s single season conference win record Friday. Due to a complete turnaround this season, led by first-year IU Coach Amanda Janney, Hoosier field hockey is a prominent contender in the Big Ten once again. To find where the success comes from, look no further than the team’s hard-working seniors who used Janney’s on-field philosophies and watched the positive results trickle down as a result. “Just to be at the very beginning of this and to be a senior, to know that the girls behind me are going to experience this for the rest of their careers, I’m very jealous,” senior defender Sydney Supica said. “Also, at the same time I’m very happy that I could be at the start of this.” IU (8-9, 4-3) will play Rutgers (79, 0-7) in pursuit of its fifth conference victory of the season after tying the all-time program record of four conference wins in a season, which was last done in 2009. The matchup against the Scarlet Knights will be the regular season finale for the Hoosiers, marking senior day.
IU (8-9) vs. Rutgers (7-9) 3:30 p.m. Oct. 30, IU Field Hockey Complex Supica and fellow senior forwards Nicole Volgraf, Rachel Stauffer and Karen Lorite will be recognized as their Hoosier careers dwindle down. These four play a key part on the field and their knowledge and leadership have been instrumental in the success of the team this year. “They’ve been great leaders by example both on and off the field and also just with the intangibles of leadership and experience,” Janney said. “It’s really clear where they’ve been and what they’ve been through in terms of not getting as many Big Ten wins in the past, they’ve been able to bring experiences they’ve had in the past and inspired us to do our very best this year.” Rutgers enters its final Big Ten contest with a winless conference record. Rutgers was able to snap a four-game losing streak while earning its first road win of the season by defeating American University, 2-1, in its last game. IU dropped its last game to American in double overtime. After dropping two overtime

matchups on the road without top goal-scorer sophomore Maddie Latino, IU is back in the comfort of its own home, a place where it has won five of the last six games with one loss against No. 1 Syracuse. Latino is recovering from a foot injury, and Janney said she is anxious to get her top goal scorer back into the lineup this weekend. “Maddie suffered a little injury a couple weeks ago so we’ve been resting her,” Janney said. “It was unfortunate to play Maryland without her because she’s been such a dynamic scorer for us, but she’s back
to practice this week and we expect her to do well this weekend.” This will be the final tune-up prior to the conference tournament next weekend that the Hoosiers will play host in. Team members said they feel confident they can take the home success and turn it into a deep tournament run. “We get to practice on this field every single day so having the tournament here is going to be huge,” Volgraf said. “I just think it’s fun. We definitely have an advantage, and I hope we can use that and really have a fun time.”

IU freshman Kyla Jackson and her diabetic service dog Caper have been together since July and go everywhere together. “I don’t know how to describe it, but it’s the look she gives me sometimes that she knows and understands how much I love her, “ Jackson said about Caper.
From pet to protector Service Dog saves freshman’s life every day by helping regulate her diabetes By Lanie Maresh emaresh@indiana.edu | @lanie_maresh
When Kyla Jackson opened her eyes, she knew she was dying. Her throat was constricted as though something was jammed halfway down. Black dots sprinkled her vision, and the world seemed to whirl around her as she slipped toward unconsciousness. When her mother came into her room, she grabbed Jackson’s diabetic finger-stick test and pricked her finger to test her blood sugar level. The normal level is 100. Hers was 13. Zero means death. She drank a glass of carbrich grape juice and waited. An hour later, she said she felt stable enough to go back to sleep. No symptoms bothered the high school sophomore the next day, but a sense of fear had begun to form that would stay with her for years. “It was pretty scary, especially when there is a zero that you can reach,” Jackson said. “When there’s nowhere else to go besides that zero.” * * * Three years later, Jackson walked into Starbucks on campus, a leash wrapped around
her hand. Two-year-old mutt Caper barely reached her knees standing in line. Caper’s dark black and gray beard brushed against the IU freshman’s leg while she ordered a grande mocha Frappuccino. The pup was alert, scanning the room until Jackson stroked her head. Understanding the area was safe, the certified service dog sat down. It is Caper’s job to monitor Jackson’s diabetes at all times of the day. With diabetes rapidly tripling — from 5.6 million diagnoses in 1980 to 20.9 million in 2011, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website — a need for extra assistance with regulation is necessary. Though dogs were trained to assist the visually impaired in the 1930s, diabetic-alert dog training programs only emerged in the past few years. Jackson found Caper through a program called Heads Up Hounds. Operating since July 2013, this program has already trained and matched 47 rescue dogs with people to help them manage their Type 1 diabetes. Having this type means Jackson’s body is unable to produce the hormone insulin that allows her body to turn glucose into
energy. She uses synthetic insulin through a pump but needs Caper to alert her when the level of insulin gets too high or too low. Although Jackson said she has only been with Caper for nearly four months, the dog’s help on a daily basis is giving her the confidence and freedom to fully appreciate college life. During the spring of Jackson’s junior year in high school, she knew she needed extra help with her diabetes. A family member told Jackson of a girl in Bloomington with a diabetic service dog from Heads Up Hounds. Jackson and her mother contacted the Nebraska-based company, and within a year they were on their way to meet Caper and trainer Joe Cook. Just before noon on July 18, Jackson leaned into an oversized hotel chair and fanned the tears away from her eyes as she prepared to meet her new dog. “Hi,” she said in a high-pitched voice. Across the room, Cook poured creamer into his coffee as Caper lay at his feet. “I’m trying really hard not to cry now,” Jackson said, looking away from the pup in a red work vest. “So I’m going to look over

here.” “Yeah, you’ll make it for about the first four hours,” Cook said. “And then when I hand you the leash it will be all over.” Cook finished stirring his drink and brought Caper over to join Jackson and her mom. Minutes later, Caper started bumping Cook’s hand as he was explaining how a service dog would change Jackson’s life. Caper’s bumping grew more persistent. Finally, Cook told Jackson she should check her blood sugar. Cook used samples of
Grant funds business research center From IDS reports
The Economic Development Administration has awarded nearly half a million dollars to the Indiana Business Research Center at the Kelley School of Business. The $499,977 grant will allow the center to maintain and expand its statsamerica. org databases and website, according to an IU press release. It will also allow the
center to develop a new digital resource library with access to important reports, planning guidelines, best practices and overall related materials. Statsamerica.org is used by economic development practitioners, planners and researchers nationwide, according to the release. “We originally developed StatsAmerica as a robust and convenient information resource for use by economic development professionals,”
said Jerry Conover, director of the Indiana Business Research Center, in the release. “Over time, it has become one of the most widely used sources of detailed data for every county in the nation, including demographic, workforce and economic statistics.” Statsamerica.org also features interactive tools that provide users with information on the industries and occupations most important to their regions,
according to the release. “StatsAmerica brings a powerful suite of data tools to the fingertips of economic developers and policy-makers across the nation,” said Bryan Borlik, director of performance and national programs at the United States Economic Development Administration, in the release. The information it provides is critical, Borlik said in the release. Ashleigh Sherman

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 Jackson said. “I just got this glimpse of it. This glimpse of this security and peace and protection. It was amazing.” * * * Diagnosed at four years old, Jackson said growing up with diabetes was never easy. Before the insulin pump was available, Jackson and her parents had to watch her every move to ensure her blood sugar level wouldn’t get out of control. She counted carbs at every meal, and pricked her finger up to five times a day to check her levels. Over time, tiny bumps covered the tops of her fingers. If her levels were abnormal she wasn’t allowed to go out and play with her friends. Jackson said her mom told her she grew up really fast because she had to. “A lot of kids think they’re invincible,” Jackson said. “I never thought I was because I always knew how fragile it all could be. It’s constant vigilance and responsibility even so young.” Jackson wasn’t the only one with hefty responsibilities and stress. Donna Martin, Jackson’s mother, said she distinctly remembers the time she and her family stopped at an ice cream shop on vacation. The rest of the family wandered off and left Martin to juggle two ice cream cones while putting Jackson into her booster seat. When she tried to check her daughter’s blood sugar level, the 5-year-old’s Zanzibar chocolate ice cream
splattered onto the sidewalk. Martin immediately started to cry. “The incident wasn’t a big deal in and of itself, but I think that was the first moment as a parent that I realized that this was forever,” Martin said. “Here we were on vacation letting go of the cares of regular life and diabetes is still there.” * * * The fear Jackson said she felt on her bedroom floor three years ago is gone. Kyla said each moment she spends with Caper reminds her how lucky she feels to have the immense support now. “With Caper I’m outgoing, living on campus, sociable, have friends and I have a life,” Jackson said. “I don’t know how to describe it, but it’s the look she gives me sometimes that she knows and understands how much I love her. It’s not like she’s a pet — it’s like she’s a friend.” Eating her dinner in a booth at a dining hall on campus, Jackson calculated in her head the amount of carbs in the pasta, broccoli and milk. Moments later, Caper jumped onto the seat next to her and inched toward Jackson’s mouth. Caper uses Jackson’s breath to detect her blood sugar level. Jackson describes the smell of her breath to Caper as “a fire hose exploding with this scent.” She immediately checked her insulin pump, noticed her blood sugar level was high and made the needed adjustments. “Thank you, good girl,” Jackson said. “Thank you.

Revisions added to Lifeline Law Carley Lanich clanich@indiana.edu | @carleylanich
With Halloween weekend approaching, the IU Student Association said it wants to set the record straight. Any intoxicated minors calling for help in a medical emergency will be immune to criminal prosecution. It’s spelled out in the Indiana Lifeline Law, which carries protections for minors drinking, transporting and possessing alcohol. Though the Lifeline Law is not new, freshman IUSA intern Olivia Malone said she fears unfounded hearsay regarding the law may keep people from calling police in a situation. “I just know that coming onto this campus and going to the IUSA orientation and having Culture of Care talk, we had a lot of questions and a lot of them were really valid,” Malone said. After several weeks of planning, IUSA has launched a campaign via
social media and speaking tours to help expel common uncertainties about the law. “It’s important to talk about before Halloween obviously,” Malone said. “Because it’s going to be a crazy weekend, and just in general because, from a freshman perspective, if you tell people this is how it works, they can spread that around to their freshmen friends.” According to IU Police Department Lt. Andy Stephenson, the Lifeline Law prohibits arrest and prosecution for public intoxication, minor alcohol possession, minor alcohol consumption and minor alcohol transportation as long as those making the call to police stay on the scene and fully cooperate with officers. If those at the scene refuse to cooperate with officers and become disorderly, they may be arrested on a separate charge. The Lifeline Law does
not offer protections for providing alcohol to minors, operating vehicles while intoxicated or possessing a controlled substance. “It’s only alcohol,” junior IUSA chief of staff Sara Zaheer said. ”We want people to call, but we don’t want people to expect to be protected for drugs.” While the Lifeline Law currently does not provide immunity for drug-induced issues, it was recently revised in July to provide immunity to intoxicated minors when reporting an instance of sexual assault. Stephenson said IUPD had similar procedures before the Lifeline Law. “Lifeline Law had absolutely no impact on the Indiana University Police Department,” Stephenson said. “None, because that’s the way we operated anyway. If somebody calls for help, we’re not going to arrest them.” Stephenson advised students use common sense
“Just be responsible. “If you’re at parties and you go to a party with a group, leave the party with the same group.”” Lt. Andy Stephenson, IUPD
during Halloween weekend like removing masks when walking, driving or entering a store or business. “Just be responsible,” Stephenson said. “If you’re at parties and you go to a party with a group, leave the party with the same group.” He also warned students not to take drinks from strangers and to drive safely, as pedestrian traffic will be heavier this weekend. In reference to Halloween weekend, Zaheer urged students to keep the Lifeline Law in mind. “Just make the call,” Zaheer said. “Look after your friends and yourself and have fun.”

From IDS reports
Kristina Houston, 24, has been arrested after allegedly crashing her car into Bloomington Bagel Company at about 8:45 p.m. Wednesday. Police were notified by a female witness who said a gray Ford station wagon hit the restaurant at 113 N. Dunn St., Bloomington Police Department Capt.
with failure to secure a child. One girl, age 6, was bleeding from the mouth. She told officers that her head had hit the seat in front of her. In the midst of all the commotion and before officers had arrived, Houston’s husband arrived at the scene. It was reported that the couple attempted to flee the scene down a nearby alley with the daughter.
Qualters said the crowd at the scene did not allow the woman to leave and helped “corral” all of the children. After an officer arrived at the scene, he was directed to Houston, who was then leaning against a telephone pole. Houston was reportedly slurring her speech and could barely keep her eyes open. The officer had to hold her arm to keep her standing. The
officer did not see signs of alcohol, so he suspected drugs were involved. Upon searching the vehicle, he found a green metallic smoking device under the driver’s seat that he said smelled strongly of marijuana or spice. The woman and the children were taken by ambulance to the hospital. Child Protective Services had been notified ahead of time by of-
ficers and met them at the hospital. Houston, whose residence was listed as Middle Way House, received six total charges including failing to secure a child, driving while intoxicated, driving without insurance, possession of paraphernalia and attempting to leave the scene of the crime. Annie Garau

HARD WORKING By Emily Beck |

ix years ago, James Bradley hated power tools. Now a drill press, table saw and matching mustard-yellow planer and joiner surround him in his shop. He’ll open Bloomington WoodWorks, a woodworking cooperative, Nov. 1. The 950-square-foot space will offer woodworking classes, professional tools and open shop hours. He started woodworking about five years ago when he quit his job to fix damages done to his house after workers abandoned the project. He had to teach himself to build. It was a big change from his previous job at a Snorkel-Mart loading dock. As he learned to build, Bradley said he realized he liked it. He said he believes in working to make real furniture that will last. He even had the words “Work Hard” tattooed across his knuckles. “I actually enjoyed it as I got over my fear,” he said. “I really geek-out on woodworking.” He never went back to Snorkel-Mart. Instead, Bradley began building things for people he knew and eventually started working as a professional furniture maker for Indiana designer Nathan Hunter. Now he said he wants to teach others how to woodwork. He said he feels teach-
ing people empowers them. “A couple years ago, I coached roller derby and just kind of realized ... it was the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done,” he said. “I kind of realized I want teaching to be a part of my life in some form.” Bradley has a few different plans for the space. He’ll offer classes and open shop hours, and he said he hopes to use the shop as a meeting place for a woodworking interest group. Bloomington WoodWorks will have two different levels of membership. A $40 monthly membership geared toward more experienced woodworkers will include access to open shop hours on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays and a discount on wood and classes. A $10 per month membership will include the discounts on wood and classes. Bradley said his classes will mainly be for beginners. They’ll make simple things but use all of the tools in the shop.

His wife joined the class, and he said teaching her something new made him remember why he loves woodworking. “For me, this is all kind of old hat,” he said. “To see her learn every process and be really excited about it, it makes me look at woodworking differently. And it kind of brings the newness back for me.” The cooperative received interest from people of varying backgrounds, Bradley said. He said he hopes to have a mixture of people in the shop – men and women, young and old – and he wants to connect other area woodworkers with each other. “So far the response to this has been really good,” he said. “I’m hoping it will be a very eclectic place.”
Young and old meet to battle on the pickleball court By Javonte Anderson ja69@indiana.edu | @JavonteA
Andrea Marsh gripped the paddle and lunged to her right, eyes fixed on the incoming plastic ball. She cocked her arm back and with subtle force delivered an underhand stroke, tapping the ball over the net. Game point. She and her partner were victorious. After learning to play the sport last September, Marsh and Denise DeMars were the duo to win the First Intergenerational Pickleball Tournament at the Boys and Girls
Club Thursday afternoon. “It was pretty easy to learn how to play, and it’s really fun,” Marsh said. Pickleball, played with a paddle and plastic ball, combines elements of tennis and ping pong, which require the participants to volley the ball back and forth over a net. During the past two months, a group of seniors from the Twin Lakes Recreational Center have been going to the Boys and Girls Club to teach the students how to play the game of pickleball. The lessons culminated with a competitive tournament. “We wanted to educate
the youth on how to play pickleball,” said Marsha Hankins, co-coordinator of the tournament. “The goal is to keep them interested.” For the tournament, seniors paired with students from the Boys and Girls Club. The First Intergenerational Pickleball tournament is a part of a larger initiative to promote and inform the community about the burgeoning sport of pickleball. “Did you know that pickleball is the fastest growing sport in the country?” said Robert Schull, co-coordinator of the tournament. Pickleball’s popularity in
Bloomington began six years ago when a visitor from Arizona attended a senior volleyball program at the Twin Lakes Recreation Center and invited everyone to play the game, Schull said. “It caught on immediately here in Bloomington and has grown steadily,” he said. What started six years ago has grown into a sizable contingent of pickleball players. There is an email list of 75 people, and up to 30 people play regularly three to four times a week. “It’s fairly easy to pick up,” Schull said. “It’s far less demanding than racquetball,
and it’s a social sport.” The growing popularity of pickleball prompted RCA Community Park to install two permanent pickleball courts in August 2014. Schull said RCA will be converting two more tennis courts into pickleball courts as well. “The sport is bigger than tennis here in Bloomington,” Marsh said. DeMars said she likes that pickleball requires a lot of skill, the speed of the game and that anyone of any age can play. “You have to be physically fit,” Hankins said. “We love it. It’s in our blood.”
A proposal to turn a vacant patient home formerly known as “Jill’s House” into a new one was the only order of business at Wednesday’s common council meeting. The ordinance proposed a new use for the building at 751 E. Tamarack Trail near North Dunn Street and east of Meadowood. James Roach, a development services manager, said the Planned Unit Development proposal for the building was extremely specific. The new proposal requests the building’s potential uses include “assisted living home” and “nursing/covalescent home” because a potential buyer plans to make the home into a memory care facility. Julie Hunt, who represented the three private partners who make up Jill’s House LLC, said an unnamed organization from Indianapolis plans to create the memory care facility. She said the facility could treat “Alzheimer’s patients, or patients with dementia who need a facility where they can get up and move around and enjoy their environment but also need some oversight.” Hunt is an administrative assistant for JPF Properties, one of the Jill’s House partners. The profit from the building sale, she confirmed, will go to JPF Partners and its two fellow Jill’s House LLC organizations. The city’s Plan Commission recommended unanimously that the city vote pass. Beth Rosenbarger, a zoning and long range planner for Planning and Transport, spoke for the neighborhood adjacent to the plot of land. She said although the neighborhood supports finding a new use, the current proposal does not allow a buyer to add to the building or construct a new one on the land. In order to build, the prospective buyer would have to submit a new PUD. Rosenbarger said the neighborhood hoped to “preserve that space while still utilizing it as best as possible.” Rosenbarger said the property has about 40 rooms. Kitchen renovation and landscaping along the sides of the home are necessary to ensure it is compliant with city standards. “This building has been sitting vacant,” Rosenbarger said. “It was closed in 2014 and, in order to actually use it, someone had to put in a PUD.” Jill’s House boarded patients at the Midwest Proton Radiotherapy Institute in Bloomington. When the institute closed, the nonprofit located in Jill’s House did as well. Council members expressed a desire for more information about the Indianapolis buyer at the next council meeting, especially as the organization may not be a nonprofit. Councilmember Susan Sandberg, D-District 2, said she wants know “who they are (and) who they serve.” Councilmember Chris Sturbaum, D-District 1, said he supported the proposal because it would make use of the space without immediately allowing more construction. Four members voted in favor of the proposal and three passed. The council will hear the proposal again.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 training yet to fully comprehend the new system. “I’m confused, and I put the grade in,” Waltz explains to Russell. “I should know what it’s trying to tell me.” Through the Early Childhood Education program at IU, Russell has learned to be apprehensive about standardized tests. Waltz has to give her kids 13 pre- and post-assessment math and language arts CFAs. They’re repetitive and slowgoing because she has to do them with each child, one-byone, she said. She just finished the preliminary assessments, and it is already time for her to test again. Russell leans closer to Waltz as she scribbles notes. I keep more data than what’s in the gradebook CFAs — common formative assessments corporation-wide -6 weeks one-on-one assessment -helpful that these are created for trickier standards -some are unrealistic Now is when Russell learns about the more complicated aspects of the job. Beyond juggling the attention of nearly 20 5-year-olds at once, beyond dealing with irritated parents, beyond being on her feet all day and working in a place that constantly smells of dirty feet, sweat and cafeteria food, there are bigger challenges. It’s not the first time Russell has heard the frustrations — how could it be, with a declared statewide teacher

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 of these like it’s the real thing because that’s what we need to do.” In a statement sent to Read residents Tuesday, IU Provost Lauren Robel said only Read residents have access to the residential floor where alarms have been triggered and, therefore, there must be residents with key information leading to those responsible for the alarms. “As hard as we’re working at it, it’s really going to take our students and our residents there to help us put this to an end,” Land said. “The more
shortage? But she’s seeing it through fresh eyes. Waltz still makes her classroom the best it can be. She improvises and adapts directives to fit her students’ needs. The tests are nice to show parents benchmark numbers of their kids’ progress, but it’s hard to show progress when there isn’t sufficient time for that progress to occur. It’s hard to test kids who want to color and share stories and dance. “How are we going to make growth if we haven’t had the time to do the teaching?” Waltz asks. Russell nods like she understands. She writes down what she hears. I wish they would trust my professional judgment. *** On the way to pick up the kids from recess, Russell asks Waltz if she thought her schooling prepared her to manage her own classroom — an especially relevant question because Waltz graduated from IU only a few years ago. “Education is changing all the time,” Waltz says. It was impossible for the School of Education to fully prepare her, she adds. When Waltz was in school, the required literacy block did not exist yet, so it was difficult to adjust to. The state mandate, approved in March 2011, stipulates the full 90 minutes be dedicated to phonics, vocabulary and comprehension — not writing, which can complicate the day’s schedule, Russell learns. It must be uninterrupted — no bathroom breaks. information we get, the sooner we can get this taken care of.” Extra IU Police Department patrols have been placed in the residence center, and Residential Programs and Services has been working closely with IUPD and several other offices to find those causing the disturbances. Robel advised in her statement that those responsible for false alarms could be suspended and immediately removed from housing. “When we find who is responsible — and we will — for tampering with fire equipment, pulling fire alarms or having any other involvement

After this semester of field experience, Russell will do a semester of student teaching in Piñon, Arizona, and then it’s into the real world and a real classroom all to herself. She isn’t naïve. She said she knows even after full workdays, she will have to plan lessons and she will be tired and probably cry a lot during her first year. But she said she’s a geek at heart and loves a good challenge. Her dad works 60-hour weeks as a truck driver, and he hates his job. All he ever wanted for her and her brother was for them to find jobs they would love. And as often as those voices play in her head — “you don’t want this job” — she knows they’re wrong. When she reaches the kids on the playground to lead them back inside to their classroom, some of them are already giving her hugs. *** After recess comes math. The kids get squirrely when Waltz brings out colored cubes and lets them build. Soon, some begin singing. “It’s a hard-knock life for us,” one sings. “The sun will come out tomorrow,” sings another. After Spanish and a snack, the kids are tired. Waltz reads to them from “Junie B. Jones and Her Big Fat Mouth,” wherein, at the moment, Junie B. is conflicted because she wants to do three different jobs when she’s older. Her solution is to create a job that has everything she wants — saving people, making art and carrying important keys. with this situation, that person or people will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, and kept accountable through the university conduct system,” the statement said. Meanwhile, students still lack sleep. When Mayfield returned to Read last Friday morning to take a nap to catch up on lost sleep, the alarms went off. “Really? Again?” she thought to herself. Each time she has to evacuate, she moves a little more slowly. Grabbing her shoes and a blanket, she can’t help but think, “Here it goes again.” “It affects everything,” she said. “It affects classes. It

On the board is a lineup for the school day, including what specials students will have and clips Jen Waltz can move to enforce good behavior.
But when Big Fat Jim says that job isn’t real and asks Junie B. what it’s called, she doesn’t know what to say. Waltz asks her class what Junie B’s problem is. “Big Fat Jim is being mean!” Yes, but what else? “She doesn’t know what the name of the job should be.” Almost there. “She doesn’t know what job she wants.” Exactly. *** During the writing portion of the day — separate from the literacy block — the students write about Russell. Waltz writes on the board a few phrases for them to copy on their own papers.
affects lifestyles, everything. It’s ruining some students’ lives and it’s keeping us from staying in the dorms that we paid for.” A leader of Chi Alpha Christian Fellowship, Mayfield said she is thankful to have a fellow leader in the organization who will let her stay in her apartment at Campus Corner. Before that, Mayfield and four other girls in her fellowship stayed at the Courtyard Marriott on Third Street. “That’s probably what angers me the most is that these are freshman girls that I have in a group that I am trying to lead,” Mayfield said. “And
This is Miss Russell. Her birthday is May 1. She will be 22. She likes to read. They slowly scratch the phrases into paper. Some are quicker than others and spend more time on their picture at the bottom of the page, which is supposed to reflect something Russell likes to do. Waltz encourages them to draw something other than Russell reading. “Miss Russell, what else do you like to do?” a blonde girl asks as the kids grovel around Russell for her attention. The day ends with a “brain break.” Waltz plays dancing videos on her projector screen, and the kids somehow still have energy to prance around and sing. They know the words, and this is the most coveted part of their day. they’re going through this horrible thing that’s messing with their lives and it just angers me so much because I don’t want them to be affected that way.” While some are trying to take the events of the last week in stride and giving the unknown perpetrator nicknames like “the fire bandit,” others have been left frustrated. Sophomore Bethany Hagin and her roommate have been staying with friends in Forest Quad and University East Apartments. A friend has dubbed the two girls “Read-fugees.” “We like to be positive
“Are you gonna dance?” a girl with a brown-haired bob asks. Russell blinks, caught off guard. “Should I?” Moxie nods furiously, but Russell is uncertain. To Russell, the teacher shortage is terrifying. The teacher situation in Indiana in general is terrifying. The poor pay is one thing, but already she has experienced people looking down on her because of her career choice. They treat her like she doesn’t know anything. Everybody thinks they can be a teacher, but no one is doing it, she says. It’s a pivotal moment, she says. Either it’s going to change now or it’s not. Someone has to be a good teacher. So why not her?
people generally,” Hagin said. “But it’s hard to relax when we’re here because we feel like we can’t get anything done.” Hagin said when the second and third alarms sounded Friday night with an exam, an early morning lesson and a midterm paper due the next day, she was close to tears. “I was in just a state of panic,” Hagin said. Mayfield said she wouldn’t return to spend the night until those responsible are caught. “I don’t know how to truly sum up just how irresponsible and wrong it is,” Mayfield said.

Members of the men’s cross country team run up a hill during the Indiana Open on Sept. 5. Both the men’s and women’s teams won by large margins and allowed the runners to compete for the first time this season. Nine IU men’s cross-country runners will compete in the Big Ten Championships on Sunday in Evanston, Illinois, along with nine IU women’s cross-country runners.
Hoosiers look to maintain identity in preparation for championships By Andrew Hussey aphussey@indiana.edu @thehussnetwork
“Be who we are.” That is what IU Coach Ron Helmer is preaching to his team as it travels to Evanston, Illinois, for the Big Ten Championship meet. “We are talented enough and well-prepared enough to represent ourselves really well,” Helmer said. “It can be a high-pressure meet as it is championship time.” Nine runners from the men’s and women’s teams will be running in the race. Helmer said he is running the top five runners from the Adidas Invitational and the top four runners from the Pre-Nationals meet for both the men’s and the women’s teams. “I like the group we have, and I like the group that they have become,” Helmer said. “They have taken control of their own locker room and set goals for themselves. I like their potential and what they are starting to become.” Helmer said the team might not have fully recognized its potential, but he said he is hoping to see another big step forward Sunday. On the men’s side, Michigan is the favorite to win the championship, as it is the No. 5 team in the country. Other nationally ranked teams on the men’s side include No. 19 Michigan State and No. 27 Wisconsin. IU is ranked 28th in the country but beat Wisconsin at the Adidas Invitational two weeks ago. “We have had some
BIG TEN CHAMPIONSHIP Evanston, Illinois 11:45 a.m. Saturday pretty good races so far, and we are feeling good coming in,” redshirt junior Mark Chandler said. “We want to do what we are capable of as a team.” Chandler said if the Hoosiers run well they have the potential to win. Regardless of whether they run well, Chandler said there are some really good teams to counter their performances. “We have been focused and have accepted the challenge in front of us,” Chandler said. The women’s Big Ten Championship has five ranked teams, the highest being No. 2 Michigan. The others are No. 15 Penn State, No. 21 Michigan State, No. 22 Minnesota and No. 30 Purdue. “Our team has a really good shot at doing well this weekend,” freshman Maggie Allen said. “I’m excited to see what all of us can do and know that we are prepared to succeed.” Allen said they are starting to work even better as a team in the weeks leading up to the Big Ten meet as she said they’re finishing workouts together in practice like Helmer hopes they will do in the meet. “If we can stick together, we can get to where we want to go,” Allen said. As a true freshman, this is the biggest meet Allen has ever raced in, but she said she isn’t too nervous.
Freshman Maggie Allen runs the last leg of the Indiana Open on Sept. 5. Both the men’s and women’s teams won by large margins and hope to continue these successes at Big Ten Championships this weekend.
“I am a freshman, but this isn’t a freshman meet, “Allen said. “I have to buckle down and not act like a freshmen. I am a little nervous, but it’s more of a nervous excitement.” It is a big stage for the freshmen, but Helmer
said he is confident in this group’s ability to handle the pressure. “Their confidence has risen,” Helmer said. “I’ve seen their relaxation level rise as well, and those two things go together well to help you in high-pressure situations.”

Australian accent might be booze-induced Let’s be honest for a minute: we all think Aussies sound weird. They sound like imposter English, but with crazier phrases like, “A dingo ate my baby.” But Australian researcher Dean Frenkel is claiming this odd slant is caused by alcohol.
“Our forefathers regularly got drunk together and through their frequent interactions unknowingly added an alcoholic slur to our national speech patterns,” he wrote in the (Melbourne) Age. We have to admit, it’s a kick-ass theory, mate.
EDITORIAL BOARD
OUT OF THE WOODS
Justice for Yaolin Wang New details have emerged about the tragedy of IU student Yaolin Wang’s death Sept. 30, and they paint a grim picture. Even before Wang was killed by her abuser, our University and community had failed her. We have not, as a community, engaged in the difficult but potentially life-saving conversations about domestic abuse and relationship violence that might have helped Wang escape the man she called her “nightmare.” We all share in this failing, but the ultimate failure is at the level of the University itself. Required by federal law to provide a safe learning environment for all students, IU has instead demonstrated a failure of leadership. Rather than face the enormous challenge of addressing these issues, IU has engaged in — and continues to engage in — the bare-bones minimum the government requires of it — and sometimes not even that much. While campus sexual assault, including rape, dominates Indiana Daily Student headlines, domestic abuse and relationship violence continue to quietly destroy lives. Though sexual assault and rape remain a huge problem in our community, we are at least beginning to have conversations about them. As clichéd as the term might sound, awareness of these issues appears to be increasing amongst IU students. However, when it comes to abuse of the sort that led to Wang’s murder, our campus — and our administration — is disturbingly silent. According to an IDS report on the abuse leading up to Wang’s death, her friends repeatedly discouraged her from calling the police for help. Her roommate reportedly told her in a message that because Wang and her abuser were “both students who have

to go to school,” she should avoid getting police involved. Her roommate’s response to the situation might appear naïve in hindsight. But, unfortunately, such attitudes and responses are all too common. Abuse is often minimized by friends and family who don’t understand its seriousness or its potential lethality. Wang’s roommate and friends are also victims. They are now saddled with intense feelings of guilt about Wang’s murder. One of her friends, Xu Gao, has decided not to pursue counseling services because she feels that she must “have a scar to remind me not to make the same mistake again,” according to the IDS. Nancy Stockton, director of IU Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), said in the IDS that victims rarely come forward, saying, “The abuser’s control over the woman is nearly absolute.” But is CAPS even prepared to recognize and appropriately respond to abusive situations when victims do come to CAPS for help? Having been told by a senior CAPS counselor that the individual “didn’t know” I was being abused, even after my abuser stated outright in a couples counseling session that he had hit me, I can only think that the answer is no. We can stop this from happening again. The University must demonstrate leadership — through adequately training CAPS counselors, through working to raise student awareness of abuse and through starting and facilitating a campus-wide discussion. No one else needs to die. woodsmj@indiana.edu @miriamjwoods
THE SCIENCE GUY
The theory of everything As physicists ambitiously search for the most fundamental particles, we get closer and closer to understanding the science of all matter. According to Columbia University physics professor Brian Greene, “the ultimate theory would provide an unshakable pillar of coherence forever assuring us that the universe is a comprehensible place.” But is such a thing even possible? While preparing for an evening lecture, 19th-century Danish physicist Hans Christian Ørsted watched his compass needle change direction when it was close to an electrical battery. Understanding how electricity affected magnetism led to the discovery of electromagnetism, a force that unified electricity and magnetism. Physicists began to wonder if they could unify all the forces this way, and perhaps, create a theory of everything. The universe has been expanding from a hot dense state of matter for about 13 billion years. Throughout time, everything that makes up atoms came about from interactions between light and quarks, particles that compose protons and neutrons. The force that made this happen was separated into fundamental forces along the way. And we’ve come a long way in trying to unify those forces. These four fundamental forces are electromagnetism, gravity and strong and weak nuclear force. Most people are familiar with electromagnetism, the force between electrically charged particles, and gravity, the force between mass (but also energy). The latter two affect quarks and similar particles that comprise subatomic particles. In the second half of the 20th century, physicists subsequently discovered relationships unifying electromagnetism with the nuclear forces. But their relationship to the gravitational force remains a mystery. In addition, our theories of quantum mechanics
Hussain Ather is a junior in physics and philosophy.
and general relativity are incompatible with one another. Our Standard Model of particle physics explains these unified forces, but to understand what everything is made of, we need to unify all the four forces to obtain a theory of everything and resolve these differences. So what’s the issue? On a large scale, theories are riddled with randomness, uncertainty and inaccuracy. We can always cast off events as outliers and limitations. For physicists, we can’t simultaneously know the position and momentum of a particle. Theoretical physicist Lawrence Krauss writes in his article “The Trouble with Theories of Everything,” that “there is an inherent uncertainty in energy and momenta that can never be reduced.” The ways physicists describe the universe have limits. Some scientists, such as Greene, argue replacing point-particle material with microscopic physical processes of strings (known as string theory) would explain everything. The same way the strings on a guitar vibrate to create chords and melodies, strings would create matter and forces. But string theory’s main issue is it doesn’t have empirical (or observable) evidence. Simply put, it works on paper, but not in practice. What if there is no theory of everything? As 20th century American physicist Richard Feynman speculated, it is possible there is no theory that applies everywhere all the time. Even if we don’t know everything, we do know some things. While scientists continue to debate, mother nature will work while we watch in wonder. sather@indiana.edu @SHussainAther

A different gender gap WE SAY: We can help our sons and brothers There is a growing gap between girls and boys — and no, we’re not talking about the wage gap. According to the New York Times, many studies have shown that boys are less likely to graduate from high school and attend college than girls. They are more likely to get in trouble as well, which can limit their potential careers. It is easy to say that “boys will be boys.” However, a recent study seems to point to another cause: “boys are more sensitive than girls to disadvantage.” Detrimental environments such as growing up in poverty, in a bad neighborhood or without a father are more likely to negatively affect boys. Conversely, the study also found that boys were much more responsive to parental interaction. This gender gap also affects black, Latino and immigrant children more than
their white counterparts. The differences between boys and girls can be observed as early as kindergarten where boys “are already less prepared than their sister,” according to the New York Times. The Editorial Board believes these effects of disadvantages on boys is terrible and probably stem from a variety of factors. Many lowincome families are led by single mothers, which studies have shown to affect boys differently than girls. A lack of positive male role models could help boys conclude that many of the men around them aren’t working or good fathers, affecting their motivation to succeed. Standards of masculinity are a further hindrance to the personal growth of boys in the United States, almost as damaging, we believe, as the objectification of women and social norms for women. From a young age, boys are told to be “tough” and
swallow their emotions. Many boys suffer to reconcile this image of masculinity with their own feelings, and the Editorial Board feels this often leads to aggressive behaviors and violent outbursts. According to these studies, a bad start early in a child’s educational career without intervention can lead to further issues including being suspended, performing poorly on standardized tests, dropping out of high school, committing crimes as juveniles and developing behavioral or learning disabilities. Men in our society are often referred to more favorably if they are seen as successful in their careers, as well as when they are financially successful. When a boy’s family isn’t financially stable or well-off, they might feel that hardship more acutely because of these societal pressures. The Editorial Board
believes one way to combat this gender gap is to encourage boys, as well as girls, to express their feelings in healthy, positive ways instead of resorting to violence or aggression. Research indicates that early interventions through programs such as high-quality preschool and providing mentors for at-risk boys go a long way to helping boys succeed later on in life. Finally, the data indicates there is a huge reward when parents spend more time with their children of all genders, but especially their sons. This is not always possible, especially for those working full-time or more to make ends meet, but it’s important to make a commitment to try. Ultimately, reducing income inequality and the gaps that exist between genders, races and socioeconomic classes will benefit some of the most vulnerable, youngest members of our society.
KARL’S CORNER
World Health Organization creates meat madness The third game in the 2015 World Series will begin Friday night. Although riveting, watching the Mets and Royals duke it out wouldn’t be complete without some quality snacks. Viewers should indulge in a quality hotdog while the fanfare unravels. Much to my dismay, these famed ballpark dogs have recently been slandered and denounced in the World Health Organization’s cancer report. The WHO categorized processed meats, of all things, in Category 1, sideby-side with tobacco and rotting asbestos. The report stated bacon, hot dogs and your grandmother’s delicious honey ham can cause bouts of colon cancer. Before I got ahead of myself, I took a look at the facts. According to the New York Times, “a person’s risk of colorectal cancer rises by a
factor of about 1.1 or 1.2 for every serving of processed meat consumed per day.” In reality, this isn’t a huge number — lung cancer rises by a factor of 20 for those who smoke. Even so, Oscar Mayer is probably crying on Nathan’s Famous’ shoulder. The phrase “don’t go bacon my heart” has never been more applicable. Just a few weeks ago, I was finding love on an app for bacon lovers called “Sizzl,” and now I’m shedding tears for all of the uncooked, dejected bacon that will never be fried by over-concerned mothers. Love is dead. A few years ago, I remember my health-conscious mother telling me not to put butter on my movie theater popcorn because it causes cancer. Did I deny myself true buttery indulgence? Of course not. In February 2013 I
tweeted, “I just witnessed a guy at the movie theater treat the butter machine like a water fountain. Dude they’re NOT the same #gross.” This is about the same time when I lost all faith in humanity. It’s these situations that make me wonder if all of the scientific research on health is blown out of proportion. I completely understand why drinking butter or consuming mass amounts of bacon cheeseburgers could lead to health problems down the road. But what about a few slices every now and then? Redundant, but true, the saying “everything in moderation” is probably what we need. Unfortunately, I don’t think I can withhold myself from my second serving of bacon at an unlimited brunch buffet. Restraint is easier said than done. Honestly, I feel that life without bacon is a life not

worth living. When I die, I will die young, my demise being owed to none other than the saturated bottle of bacon grease that sits next to my sink. When my grandpa, Sam, finishes a satisfactory meal, he says, “This stuff will kill you, but what a way to go.” He’s doing great, although he checks the newspaper obituary every day to make sure his name isn’t there. Ninetythree years of age will do that to you. Imagine if someone told you Chipotle causes an increased chance of cancer. What would you do? jlkarl@indiana.edu @jkarl26

Tune-Yards bassist continues solo project By Jack Evans jackevan@indiana.edu | @JackHEvans
Nate Brenner usually doesn’t have to drive. The bassist tours often as one of the two core members of experimental indie-pop band Tune-Yards, but the band has reached a level of success that allows them to have drivers. When he’s not on the road, he lives close enough to the band’s Oakland, California, home studio to walk to work. Brenner, a Bloomington native, is touring behind “Mister Divine,” his second album of his solo project, Naytronix. The tour brought him back to Bloomington on Wednesday to play a show at the Velvet Onion. When Brenner, 32, started touring behind his solo project earlier this month, he was alone — no bandmates, no managers, no drivers. So he flew to New York and rented a car, and as he got behind the wheel, he said, the endorphins of being on the road — and of being alone for once — hit him. “I’m on the highway listening to whatever I want,” he said. “I can crank it up. I usually don’t talk on the phone because it’s weird. I’m unreachable — no one can email me,
text me, I don’t talk to anyone for hours, and I’m like, ‘This is amazing.’ ... I wish I could do that every day.” The Bloomington stop was Brenner’s second in his hometown in as many months — Tune-Yards played the Lotus World Music and Arts Festival in September — but because of his busy schedule in Tune-Yards, he said he rarely gets an opportunity to return to Bloomington. Now that he has time to himself, he said he intentionally routed the tour through Bloomington, especially after a positive experience at Lotus Festival. “I’m really surprised that when we came back to Lotus I was kind of expecting some sort of weird nostalgia, and everything just felt really fun,” he said. “I was proud of myself for not being weirded out.” Brenner left Bloomington in 2002 after a year at IU. He then transferred to Oberlin College to study jazz before moving to Oakland in 2005. He still has family in town, though, and he said he hopes to visit more often as TuneYards take a break between album cycles. Touring with Naytronix has meant playing significantly smaller venues than TuneYards usually does, including
houses like the Velvet Onion, he said. He said he doesn’t remember Bloomington’s house show scene’s being as vibrant when he was growing up as it is now, but he said he does remember Bloomington being conducive to his growth as a young musician, from shows at Rhino’s All Ages Club to school programs. “We had the University, obviously, to pull from, with these professors that would come and give master classes,” he said. “The schools here are very supportive of the arts, too.” Brenner said he does wish he’d been able to diversify his artistic abilities in his youth, which he said he has been thinking about often as he focuses on solo work. While Tune-Yards requires one artistic mindset — helping frontwoman Merrill Garbus meet her artistic goals — he said working largely on his own offers a different dynamic. “I went to a music conservatory, so at first I was kind of like, ‘How do I communicate?’” he said. “I haven’t spent a lot of time writing aside from a tiny bit of lyrics, so there’s that side. There’s the music videos. It’s like, all the sudden, ‘I’m an actor. I’ve never acted in my life.’ And
then design, album art, fliers and posters — there’s all these things that all the sudden you’re just like, ‘Go.’” In addition to adapting to the various facets of being a solo artist, Brenner said he’s used the project to push himself musically. While working on “Mister Divine,” he began taking voice lessons to extend his range, and Garbus has assisted him on refining melodies. Naytronix’s pop, funk and rhythmic style has partially grown from a resistance to Brenner’s own instincts. He said his background in jazz means he sometimes feels a need to write overly complex passages or strive for technical greatness. However, he said he’s grateful for the skills his jazz education has given him — intense understanding of chord progressions, improvisational abilities — and he’s realized it’s less important to “prove” something or reinvent the wheel than it is to feel confident in his own music. “I’ve noticed, especially in a solo performance, if you don’t think it sounds good it starts going downhill,” he said. “You really have to believe in COURTESY PHOTO yourself and your music be- Bassist Nate Brenner splits his time between the indie-pop band Tunecause there are a lot of times Yards and his solo project, Naytronix.

IU Cinema to celebrate Sinatra’s 100th birthday From IDS reports
The IU Cinema will commemorate Frank Sinatra’s 100th birthday beginning Monday with a film series, “Sinatra at 100,” highlighting his work. Sinatra, born Dec. 12, 1915, was a singer, actor and producer. He used his global fame to fight bigotry and racism on a personal and international scale, according to an IU Cinema press release. He died in 1998. The first film will be a Monday matinee with “Guys and Dolls” at 3 p.m. The film, released in 1955, is a comedy/musical/ romance based on a 1950 Broadway show about a professional gambler under scrutiny by the police. Next will be “The Man with the Golden Arm,” a drama/romance about a card dealer and heroin addict who was recently released from prison. The film will be shown at 3 p.m. Nov. 14. “From here to Eternity” and “The House I Live In” will play at 3 p.m. Dec. 5. “The House I Live In” is a 10-minute film created in 1945 to oppose anti-Semitism and racial prejudice at the end of World War II, according to the release. It will precede “From Here to Eternity,” which is centered on the lives of those in the Schofield Army Barracks in Honolulu,
Hawaii, around the time of the attack on Pearl Harbor. The film won eight Academy Awards in 1954 including the award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role, which went to Sinatra. Finally, “Ocean’s 11” will play at 7 p.m. Dec. 12, the same day as Sinatra’s birthday. The 1960 film is a comedy/crime about the largescale theft of five casino vaults in Las Vegas. Tickets for each film are $3 and may be purchased online then picked up at the IU Auditorium box office during regular hours or 60 minutes prior to any screening, according to the IU Cinema website. The cinema will have four events today, beginning at 3 p.m. with a lecture by Roger Hallas titled “A Medium Seen Otherwise: Photography and Documentary Film.” Hallas is an associate professor of English at Syracuse University and the author of “Reframing Bodies: AIDS, Bearing Witness and the Queer Moving Image.” The lecture is free. Next will be the “Experimental Hitchcock Shorts Program,” which will include four experimental creations made from the works of Alfred Hitchcock: “2 Spellbound,” “4 Vertigo,” “Hitchcock Trilogy” and “Psykho III The Musical.” It will begin at 6:30 p.m.

As a professor of flute in the Jacobs School of Music’s woodwind department, Kathryn Lukas does not often perform concerts with other faculty. Friday’s Woodwind Faculty Chamber Music Recital is a rare Kathryn opportunity Lukas for her to perform with her colleagues, she said. “I just love to play with other people,” Lukas said. “We are so busy in different directions that we don’t get to play together very much.” The recital is at 8 p.m. Friday in Auer Hall. The recital features Lukas and Thomas Robertello on flute, Roger Roe on oboe, Howard Klug on clarinet, William Ludwig and Kathleen McLean on bassoon, Jeff Nelsen on horn and Jacob Coleman on piano. Klug, a professor of clarinet, said he always enjoys faculty recitals. “The collaboration is wonderful,” Klug said. “I love just being able to make beautiful music together.” Lukas said Ludwig, the chair of the woodwind department, and Coleman, a
post-doctoral scholar and visiting assistant professor of collaborative piano for the department, arranged the concert. In addition to the performances of the music school faculty, the recital will showcase Coleman’s abilities, Klug said. The program includes “Two pieces for bassoon and piano (1996)” by Jean Françaix, “Sonata for clarinet and piano (1970)” by Carlos Guastavino, “Andante et rondo, Op. 25” by Franz Doppler and “Quintet in E-Flat major for piano and winds, K.452” by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Lukas will perform Doppler’s piece with Robertello. She said the music is fun and romantic and it has a fast, dance-like section with a Hungarian flavor and a slow section with beautiful melodies and intertwining flute parts. “It’s not your deep type of music that is cerebral in any way,” Lukas said. “It’s charming.” Lukas plays the second flute part in the piece, but the two flutes are equally balanced, she said. Although two flutists might not always be compatible, Lukas said she and Robertello have different voices of flute performance that go well together. Lukas said she likes putting these voices together and creating emotion, whether it is a dance or a lyrical feeling.
WOODWIND FACULTY CHAMBER MUSIC RECITAL Open to the public 8 p.m. Friday, Auer Hall “With the flute, you don’t want to be bored, making a pretty sound and nothing else,” Lukas said. “You want to bring some variety to your performance.” Many members of the public tend to come when they see a faculty recital advertised, Lukas said. “We wanted to blow our horn a bit better to the public,” Lukas said. The recital can also set an example for the students because it is more effective if the students can see their teachers perform, rather than simply telling them to play a certain way, Lukas said. This helps the students improve their musical skills and see the professors in another light, Lukas said. The woodwind students perform in front of eleven faculty members for exams, so it helps to see the professors play at a recital. “I recommend to them: you’ve got to come to this concert and see how everyone makes music and how much they love music,” Lukas said. “They are actually wanting you to be as musical as they are and to succeed in your efforts to bring that piece to life.”

Wylie House to have lecture on shawls few specific shawls from the museum’s archives and develop an imaginary narrative around them. “The three I chose are early enough to potentially have belonged to Margaret Wylie, the wife of the first president of IU,” Hart said. “From this realization, I am pretty much constructing a kind of fantasy, based on reality, of what Margaret wore.” Hart said she loves the bright colors and asymmetrical designs of the shawls. As aforementioned, Hart has her own collection of shawls, which she said exemplifies the Western love of the “other” oriental style, the rise of industrialization of textiles and the way fashion has become internationalized over time. “Textiles are an important part of our material culture,” Hart said. “The diffusion of style is a particular interest of mine in the study of important theorists of art history, hence this study is an extension of my interests. Plus, they are gorgeous.” Though the lecture itself will be more hypothetical, based on bills and receipts as well as the artifacts themselves, Hart said she learned a lot about what the Wylie family specifically valued when it came to their aesthetics. “I’ve found that the Wylie’s bought muslin, a very fine white cotton fabric used in early shawl and dress and

Textiles of the past have the ability to reveal historical trends other artifacts may not highlight as clearly. The collection of textiles at the Wylie House Museum demonstrates this quality, particularly its collection of shawls from the period. Some of the shawls might have belonged to the Wylie family or just donated to the museum. Joan Hart, Ph.D. in philosophy, art history, criticism and conservation, will discuss the communicative power of the shawl and other textiles during her lecture at 3 p.m. Friday. Carey Beam, director of Wylie House, said she looks forward to hearing Hart’s insights on the topic. “Shawls were a common article of clothing for women in the 1800’s,” Beam said. “When I met Joan Hart, who has an incredible background in textiles as well as her own shawl collection, I hoped Wylie House could benefit from her knowledge.” The pieces Hart will discuss represent a distinct moment in fashion history: the rise of the shawl. “Wylie House has a small collection of shawls, most of which do not have a Wylie provenance but are beautiful and representative of the later 1800’s,” Beam said. Hart said she will look at a

JOAN HART Open to the public 3 p.m. Friday, Wylie House undergarments, throughout their lives,” Hart said. “I will be showing items that they might have owned similar to dresses, spencer bodices and shawls.” Hart said she will show photographs and related imagery from the 19th century that she has not shown in previous discussions on the topic. The images further demonstrate the shawl and muslin fashions of the time period, she said. The Wylie House Museum provides the University community the opportunity to examine these sorts of materials and the Wylie family, Hart said. “Wylie House has become such a great focus for all kinds of discussion about IU, early Bloomington history, the material culture of the town and area and how the University grew,” Hart said. Community education on the 19th century is one of the foundations and guiding purposes behind the talks at Wylie House. “Wylie House benefits from local experts — we are able to better interpret the museum as a result of their information and insights, and we can engage with community in learning with us,” Beam said.

A former local band will return at 9 p.m. Friday to the Bluebird stage — a stage where the band first found its sound and scored a record production deal. The Main Squeeze was born in Bloomington from a collaboration between five IU students — two of whom remain in the group — in 2010. Ben Silverstein, the band’s keyboard player and an original member, said the band wrote and played on stages around Bloomington during its first years until it reached a level of acumen where a Midwest tour seemed like the logical next step. Silverstein said the “old-school rock-funkrap-meets-new-elements” band sees old friends and fans each year it returns to perform in Bloomington. “That’s where we started, it will forever be a very important part of our career,” he said. In 2012, the Main Squeeze’s members moved to Chicago, where they could be part of a larger music scene but stay close to their backgrounds in Indiana. “We didn’t want to just leave after putting in all of that work,” Silverstein said. Two years ago, music producer Randy Jackson of “American Idol” flew into Indianapolis, then drove issues demand attention. Use charm and a sense of humor to defuse a tense situation.

The Main Squeeze, a band formed in Bloomington, will return to the Bluebird for a concert Friday night.
to Bloomington, where he watched the Main Squeeze perform at the Bluebird, Silverstein said. Jackson produced the band’s second fulllength album, “Mind Your Head,” which came out in September. Silverstein said listeners at the Bluebird who are familiar with the Main Squeeze’s music will hear a “maturation” in the band’s sound since its original work. “It’s not a shift (in sound) so much as the next step in what we’ve been going for,” Silverstein said. Working with Jackson meant the Main Squeeze spent much of the past two years in Los Angeles, where they plan to move soon, Silverstein said. “We’re ready to just dive in headfirst,” Silverstein said. The band’s web page describes the music of The Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Today is a 7 — There may be too much of a good thing at home. Humility is a virtue. Don’t provide frills or extra treats.

Consider potential problems before stepping out. How far do you want to go? Take a creative tack to minimize risk. Wait for the dust to settle. Avoid power struggles.

Main Squeeze as “Stevie Wonder meets (the) Red Hot Chili Peppers.” Silverstein said he hadn’t chosen that descriptor and in fact would hesitate to choose two bands to sum up the band’s sound. “It’s tough to put a band like ours in a box like that,” Silverstein said. “I would probably name, like, 10 bands if I have to, but at the same time we want to be our own thing.” Take extra care around someone with a short temper. There’s no accounting for taste.

IU prepares for top-10 national competition By Hailey Hernandez hmhernan@indiana.edu | @haileyh27

Freshman Austin Panchot gets ready to strike the ball during a game against Michigan last Saturday night. IU won the game 1-0.
IU to play final home match By Lionel Lim lalimwei@indiana.edu | @lionelimwx
IU’s match against Wisconsin at Bill Armstrong Stadium marks its last home conference game of the season before the Big Ten tournament begins Nov. 8. “We not only want to win because it’s the only last home game of the season — a win would also improve our (Big Ten) standings and RPI, and that could possibly result in some home games for our postseason,” IU junior midfielder Tanner Thompson said. Wisconsin is the second team in a run of three Big Ten games for IU, who won the first of those three matches last Saturday when it beat Michigan 1-0. A win Saturday could
see the Hoosiers climb the Big Ten standings and simultaneously earn a better seeding for the Big Ten tournament. The Hoosiers no longer occupy the bottom spot of the conference standings, a spot now filled by Wisconsin, whom IU will face Saturday. The Badgers have six points and have only won one game and drawn three others. They also have the lowest overall RPI in the Big Ten with .344; however, the last time the Hoosiers beat the Badgers was in 2012. The Hoosiers lost their 2013 matchup 4-3 and tied the Badgers 2-2 last year. IU Coach Todd Yeagley said he is not underestimating the task at hand as he said he believes records can be misleading. “It’s going to be a tough
game,” Yeagley said. “They are going to be much better than what the records suggest because there have been some close games.” To Yeagley, every Big Ten team presents a different threat, and Wisconsin will be a different challenge compared to what IU faced against Michigan on Saturday. Michigan had a pacey forward line, and, though the Badgers may not have similar terms of pace, they make it up with a number of big guys. “They’re a team that has some big guys, they’re physical, but they’re fair,” Yeagley said. “However, we too have some big guys and are not afraid of a physical game either, and I think it’s important when it comes to establishing the hold on the game.”
IU (9-4-2) vs. Wisconsin (4-9-3) 7 p.m. Oct. 31 Bill Armstrong Stadium Because this is the last home game of the regular season, Yeagley said he is also looking at some of his senior players to put in a good shift and he thinks he can expect a good performance from them. Thompson, who scored in last year’s tie against Wisconsin, said he believes IU has a chance of winning as long as it wins the physical battles. “I think if we match (Wisconsin’s physicality) we can come out on top in the game,” Thompson said. IU plays one more game at Michigan State before the end of the regular season.
When making the swimming and diving schedule, IU Coach Ray Looze said he wanted to start the season with meets against competitive programs to demand attention and respect from the beginning. IU will be tested yet again when it competes against three more ranked opponents — Kentucky, Tennessee and North Carolina — at home Friday at the Counsilman Billingsley Aquatic Center. Both teams have moved up in the rankings, as the IU men are currently No. 9, and the women are sitting at No. 14. “This is another great opportunity to showcase to our competition that we can handle a tough schedule,” Looze said. “It’ll be a good progress report of how our teams match up against three strong opponents. Having a competitive schedule works in our advantage because it’s good preparation.” After facing top-10 teams in Florida and Texas, IU recorded 11 NCAA B-cut qualifying times and had another two weeks to prepare for their next matchup. “It was good to have the break in between meets,” sophomore Blake Pieroni said. “We needed two weeks with hard training to get ready for Friday. It was a good amount of time to prepare, and now we are anxious and ready to go.” The Hoosiers will have three dual meet scores Friday against teams all ranking in the top 30. For the men’s side, SEC teams No. 14 Kentucky and No. 11 Tennessee have shown big improvement throughtout the year, Looze said. For the women, Kentucky is ranked No. 28, and Tennessee is No. 9.
IU (1-4) vs. Kentucky (0-0) 2 p.m. Oct. 30 Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatic Center “All of the events will have tough matchups,” Looze said. “We faced Kentucky and Tennessee last year, and those teams have improved and come a long way. We’re looking for time drops, consistency and victories to compete with them.” The third opponent for IU this weekend is ACC standout North Carolina. The Tar Heels’ men’s program is ranked No. 10, and the women are at No. 4. Both the men and women are looking forward to seeing their hard work pay off against steep competition at home. After six weeks of conditioning, the team is moving toward a different part of the season as they train for a heavier load of competition in the form of weekly meets. “It’s going to be awesome competing at home again,” junior Gia Dalesandro said. “For the women’s team, we do better when we’re loud, cheering each other on, even a little obnoxious. So it’ll be helpful to have our home crowd there with family, friends and fans.” For both the men and women, it’s important to get used to facing such a high level of competition from day one to move past the intimidation to realizing both the men and women can and are expected to compete at this level, Looze said. “I like having a tougher schedule and starting out with big competition right away,” Dalesandro said. “It’s better to compete with a higher level because it challenges us to be better. Everyone needs to bring their A-game. It has taught me to never be satisfied
