State joins in Obama lawsuit From IDS reports

Dakota Walker, a Bloomingfoods employee who works in the produce department, leads a pro-unionization march from the Bloomingfoods store on Sixth Street to the Bloomingfoods Administrative Office on South Gentry Street on Oct. 7. “What do we want?” he said into the megaphone. The protesters responded, “A union.”“When do we want it?”“Now.”

Fighting to be heard

Gov. Mike Pence joined 17 other states in a lawsuit seeking to have President Obama’s executive action ruled unconstitutional. The president’s action grants undocumented immigrants who meet certain criteria a temporary stay from Pence deportation.

The suit was filed Wednesday, according to a news release from Pence’s office.

In a letter to Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller, Pence said the president’s decision to act without input from Congress circumvented the democratic process.

“While reasonable people can differ on ways to improve our nation’s broken immigration system, the President’s unilateral action was an unacceptable end run around the democratic process and joining other states in pursuing legal recourse to challenge this action is the right thing SEE LAWSUIT, PAGE 6

Bloomingfoods workers seek change to preserve co-op values

By Kathryn Moody kammoody@indiana.edu | @katmmoody

It seems like a normal November day at Bloomingfoods East.

Employees wheel boxes of produce past lines of chatty customers during a fairly busy midmorning rush.

But change is coming, and no one is quite sure where the chips will fall.

In five days, Kaisa Goodman, a Bloomingfoods employee, will know whether the union spirit she’s tried to foster since September will take hold. The workers will vote.

Bloomingfoods, a cooperative, prides itself on being a socially conscious bastion of organic produce and community values, but some of its workers feel slighted and unheard. Unanswered grievances came to light, much to the confusion of a city that cherishes Bloomingfoods as one of its most progressive institutions.

Kaisa said she wonders if they’ll finally have a voice.

Someone was cut from the schedule this week without much warning. Kaisa, 21, is a full-time employee, but managers have been trying to convince her to drop down to 34 hours a week, two hours less than full-time. She’s defended her managers because they’ve done right by her and the unionization effort, but now she’s being told she’s uncooperative.

She sits down with potato soup from the commissary during her break from cashiering and pulls her long, springy hair back.

She has too many things to do and a long list of things to say. She’s not afraid to talk about the unionization effort in a booth right by the cashier lanes.

She thinks the union will protect employees and restore the communal spirit of the store they all love.

“I’m trying to get a response from the managers,” she said. “I mean, isn’t this weird?”

Take one for the team, they say.

“No,” she said. “Take one for the workers.”

She thinks she’s taken enough for the team.

A manager walks by. She suddenly falls silent, looking at the table. * * * Tension skyrocketed when the workers announced their intent to unionize in September. Rumors broke that the store met with Nathan Baker, a union-busting lawyer from Indianapolis — and at a bad time.

Competition had been creeping in. Lucky’s Market, another natural food store, will open in spring 2015, and Whole Foods is rumored to arrive in 2016.

Tim Clougher, president of the Bloomingfoods Board, speaks to member-owners about the successes and failures of Bloomingfoods stores during the past year during the annual meeting Oct. 16 at the WonderLab Museum. George Huntington, general manager of Bloomingfoods, standing behind Clougher, later announced that Bloomingfoods administration would remain “neutral” throughout the remainder of the unionization process.

Kaisa, her husband, Dakota Walker, 24, and their rallying troop of friends believe if Bloomingfoods is to survive, everyone will have to see how the sausage is made.

At the annual meeting in October, the board announced no grievances had been filed in the past year. However, many workers felt the grievance system was broken.

They provided a laundry list of alleged issues to the United Food and Commercial Workers Union — verbal abuse, inappropriate behavior, poor standardization of raises — and said they felt they had “hit a brick wall” when they tried to report anything.

The grievance process requires employees to speak with the person who wronged them and then work their way up the managerial hierarchy until the issue is resolved.

Human Resources is considered an option at all times. But if you have a grievance with HR or any members of the hierarchy, where do you go?

George Huntington, general manager of Bloomingfoods, said issues might have been exacerbated by failures of communication on both sides.

“As our organization has grown, we’ve made efforts to strengthen our resources,” he said.

Jeff Jewel, branding and communications director, said he felt the system in place would be effective if given the chance.

Process of unionization Workers contact and meet local union.

Show proof that 30 percent of the workers are interested with a petition or filling out authorization cards.

Petition the National Labor Relations Board to conduct an election.

An election occurs. A simple majority is required for worker and union partnerships.

“People didn’t give the procedure a chance to operate,” Jeff said.

“They’re making a judgment that it doesn’t work without trying it.”

Kaisa and Dakota decided to approach UFCW in August.

Dakota, an IU alumnus who studied social work, is deeply centered and thoughtful. He usually defers to Kaisa when they talk. But he’s not afraid to speak up when the time is right.

He also happens to have a wife who was raised on the bread and butter of unions. Kaisa has SEE UNION, PAGE 6

Ferrell named to Naismith watch list

By Alden Woods aldwoods@indiana.edu | @acw9293

Junior guard Kevin “Yogi” Ferrell has been named to the 50-player Naismith Trophy Watch List, the Atlanta Tipoff Club announced Wednesday. Ferrell The Naismith Trophy is given annually to the country’s most outstanding player. It is named after Dr. James Naismith, the inventor of basketball.

Ferrell, who in October was named to the Preseason All-Big Ten first team, has averaged 17.1 points, 5.6 assists and 3.6 rebounds per game this season. He has continued his role as the focal point of IU’s game plan on both ends of the floor despite a lowered usage rate, which is how often he’s involved in the play, this season.

Before the season, Ferrell and IU Coach Tom Crean both spoke of a slight transformation of the guard’s role. A season after attempting a program-record 220 3-pointers, Ferrell needed to become more of a facilitator.

Too often last season, the ball stuck in Ferrell’s hands. For IU to work in its new shooters, ball movement was key.

“Coach is going to make you do it, or you won’t even be in the game,” Ferrell said at Big Ten Media Day on Oct. 16. “Coach is always talking about moving the ball.”

Crean said his star guard needed to keep his teammates involved while maintaining his own production.

Shoppers look through hand-crafted jewelry at the Fair Trade Holiday Sale in the Indiana Memorial Union on Wednesday. The sale includes handcrafted gifts from all over the world and will continue today from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Fair trade holiday sale comes to IMU

By Kathrine Schulze schulzek@indiana.edu | @kas_schulze

Handcrafted gifts from across the globe are available for sale this week at the 10th Annual Fair Trade Holiday Sale.

The sale, which began Wednesday and continues through today in the Georgian Room of the Indiana Memorial Union, features items from local Bloomington stores Global Gifts and Stone Belt.

Jana Surigao, development and marketing associate at Stone Belt, said the turnout so far has been favorable.

“It’s been pretty good, I

think,” she said. “It’s been kind of a steady trickle, and there’ll be little spurts in between classes and meals.

People have been in here a little more than usual.”

Most of the items for sale at the IMU can also be found at, among other places, Stone Belt’s location in the lobby of the Bloomington Playwrights Project, Surigao said.

Stone Belt, which serves the Bloomington, Bedford and Columbus communities, works toward preparing, empowering and supporting persons with developmental disabilities and their families to participate in the life of the community,

according to Stone Belt’s website.

All of the artwork at the holiday sale comes from south central Indiana, Surigao said.

Senior Amelia Shroyer and freshman Wes Wagner work as volunteers for the Global Gifts table.

Global Gifts, a fair trade store, is part of the Fair Trade Bloomington group.

FTB was incorporated in October 2007, according to the FTB website.

Their goal is to increase the availability of fair trade products in Bloomington.

As of 2013, Bloomington became Indiana’s first Fair Trade Town, according to

the FTB website.

Now, FTB is trying to make all of IU Fair Trade certified as a university, Shroyer said.

“Basically, the goal of fair trade is essentially to give workers a fair deal for the product that they’re making,” Shroyer said.

Instead of remaining strictly local, Global Gifts buys products from several different countries and cooperatives.

Global Gifts has several locations, but only one in Bloomington, at 122 N. Walnut St. “It’s not necessarily a local focus,” Shroyer said. “It’s kind of a global scale.”

Spanish majors honored in Indianapolis

By Lindsay Moore liramoor@indiana.edu @_lindsaymoore

Four IU students gathered in Indianapolis last month to be recognized as some of Indiana’s Outstanding Students of Spanish, as presented by the Indiana Chapter of the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese.

Eight students from schools across the state, including Purdue University, University of Notre Dame and Ball State University, were recognized for their outstanding academic achievements and involvement within the Spanish major. Students were required to meet a minimum GPA requirement of 3.7, as well as take part in clubs or travel courses related to the language.

After being nominated

by Israel Fernando Herrera, lecturer in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese and newly appointed president of the AATSP, students were required to submit a résumé and transcript to an AATSP committee for review. Herrera looked for candidates who demonstrated leadership skills and passion for the language. Students who take the initiative to further their language skills inspire other students to do the same, Herrera said.

SBOE acquires more control of school takeovers

IU sophomore Andrew Ireland reads a message protesting against the executive order on immigration issued by President Obama on Wednesday.

The group gathered in front of Rep. Todd Young’s Bloomington office and was organized by the Bloomington Grassroots Conservatives.

Group protests Obama action

By Neal Earley njearley@indiana.edu

Protesters gathered outside the office of Rep. Todd Young, R-9th District, Wednesday afternoon to express disapproval of President Obama’s executive order on immigration.

The protest occured right before it was announced that 17 states, including Indiana, are suing the Obama Administration over what they consider an executive overreach on the issue.

Robert Hall, leader of the Bloomington Grassroots Conservatives, organized the protest. Hall, among others, delivered a letter to Young’s office asking him to take action against the president because of his Nov. 20 executive order, which granted a temporary stay from deportation to undocumented immigrants who qualify.

“We’re frustrated with what Obama did last week,” Hall said. “His action is totally lawless — it’s unconstitutional. It goes against the core of

our country.”

About 17 people gathered inside the lobby of the office building outside Young’s office on Eighth Street. Many of the protesters carried signs, American flags and typed letters, which a few read aloud.

Some of the signs read: “No to Amnesty,” and “Obey law, Obama.”

Hal Turner, the district officer for Young’s office, came outside to listen to the concerns of the congressman’s constituents.

Turner said he would see to it personally that Young received the protesters’ letters and respond.

“I’m concerned about a double standard,” said Amy Jen, a counselor and reverend in Bloomington. “This is one of the very important laws of immigration because everyone wants to come to the United States.”

Jen, who emigrated to the United States from Taiwan, said she believes that those who want to come to the United States should follow immigration law.

“I went through four hurdles,” Jen said. “From F1 student to H1 temporary worker to green card, permanent residence until citizenship.”

According to the U.S. State Department, immigrants who want to permanently move to the United States must obtain a visa by being sponsored by a family that has U.S. citizenship, a lawful permanent resident or a prospective employer.

Under President Obama’s executive order, undocumented immigrants who are younger than 16 will not be deported.

In addition, the order also allows for undocumented immigrants who have at least one child who is a U.S. citizen or legal resident to be granted the same protection.

“I’m pro-immigration — there’s nothing wrong with immigration — frankly that’s one of the things that has made this country so great,” said Andrew Ireland, a sophomore at IU and member of Young Americans for Freedom.

Ireland said he thinks Obama’s executive action is unfair to immigrants who have spent a long time going through the United States’ immigration process.

Young, who was not present at the event, earlier criticized the president for what he considered to be an overreach.

“Our country must address illegal immigration, but unilateral action by the president that only addresses a fraction of our problems is the wrong way to go about it,” Young said in Nov. 20 statement on his Facebook page.

Obama’s order has caused controversy in Washington with some Republican lawmakers discussing legal recourse against the president.

Right now, it is uncertain what action the new Congress will take in January.

“I’m hopeful that he will receive our message,” Hall said about his inquiry to Young. “I’m hopeful he will do the right thing, I’m hopeful he will stand up and fight what the president is doing.”

The State Board of Education voted Wednesday to move more control of school takeovers from the Department of Education to the board.

The SBOE proposed managing intervention in failing schools eligible for state takeover, as well as establishing contracts with companies to run the schools.

Next year, the board will push for a legislation change that would allow the SBOE to have access to financial and data resources related to school turnarounds.

The meeting, which lasted longer than seven hours, included now-common bickering between State Superintendent of Public Instruction Glenda Ritz and other members of the board.

Much of the legislative agenda, which was approved by board members at the Wednesday meeting, is devoted to clarifying the SBOE’s authority in relation to the state DOE. The board and Superintendent Ritz, who serves as head of the DOE, have clashed multiple times regarding each agency’s jurisdiction, as the SBOE is overseen by the Center for Education and Career Innovation rather than the DOE. Ritz said she sees the legislative and practice recommendations regarding school turnarounds as a move to make the Department of Education obsolete.

“That’s why the conversation is important, because this is way beyond school turnarounds,” Ritz said. “You are actually recommending that the State Board of Education be the state education agency.”

District 3 Representative Cari Whicker said the board is responsible for ensuring the quality of Indiana’s schools and needs

to have more oversight.

“There has to be some ability to have some input into what happens there,” she said.

The board voted 9 to 2 to approve recommendations from the School Turnaround Committee.

SBOE approval means those recommendations will be sent to the governor and legislature for consideration.

The board will also pursue legislation that would allow the state to take over schools that have F grades after four years instead of six.

School districts with one or more failing schools could also become eligible for state intervention as well.

The legislative agenda calls for a statute clarifying the SBOE’s right to approve state models for teacher evaluations as well as establishing oversight to ensure the compliance of local evaluation models.

The board will also recommend a statute that will ensure the SBOE’s authority to establish Indiana school standards and assessments and check their validity.

Board members also discussed giving schools the option of making up snow days with e-learning days, in which students attend class online rather than going to school.

The DOE created a policy in September that would allow schools to implement the e-learning strategy.

Board members voted to adopt a resolution to ask the office of Gov. Mike Pence for legislative guidance on the policy.

The DOE was directed to give a presentation at the board’s next meeting with information regarding requirements and standards for the e-learning days and how they will be implemented.

The SBOE will convene again Jan. 7 for its first meeting in 2015.

Council postpones food truck decisions

By Emily Ernsberger emelerns@indiana.edu | @emilyernsberger

Following hours of discussion last night, the Bloomington City Council opened the floor to for public comment on postponing votes on two ordinances regulating mobile food vendors in the downtown area.

Members are unsure when to expect the vote, and as of press time Wednesday night, were still hearing public comment.

“We have a very complicated ordinance which will affect sensitive areas of downtown Bloomington, an area we’re bound to protect in every way,” council member Martin Spechler said. “We need to hear from other stakeholders.”

The first ordinance discussed Wednesday evening edited the city’s definitions of

mobile vendors, revised the process in which these businesses gain permits and expanded regulations.

No more than four food trucks and 12 pushcarts will be allowed on the Courthouse square. No more than five food trucks and 10 pushcarts are to be located between the Courthouse square and the Sample Gates.

Mobile food vendors would also be restricted to operating in commercial zones and would have to be located at least 50 feet away from the facade of a building where food and beverages are sold.

Amendments made to the first ordinance, since it was discussed at the Nov. 19 meeting, include choosing an enforcement officer for regulations, removing the cap on the total number of licenses that can be issued and adjusting hours of operation.

Vendors will not be allowed to operate from 4:30 a.m. to 6:30 a.m. on public property but will be allowed to operate 24 hours on private property.

A full audience was present at Wednesday night’s meeting. Prior to the meeting, local food truck vendors handed out free items from their trucks in order to rally support against the ordinances.

Food truck operators Jackie White of Gypsy Moon and Jackie Howard of Bea’s Soda Bar said regulations are necessary but there should be more compromise in the ordinances.

“We want laws,” White said. “We want to know exactly what we can and cannot do.”

Both women said the biggest issue was in regards to parking. Food truck vendors

are required to park in certain city lots and pay parking meter fees for the length of time they are parked.

This, Howard said, is difficult when the specified lots are taken by other automobiles.

“Do you think I would come down at 7 a.m. to park in an illegal spot on purpose?” White said.

One proposal made by various food truck vendors is a food truck lot for the businesses to operate.

Parking limitations change operating hours for mobile businesses, the women said.

Howard said regulation has been an issue since the summer. The vendors were given notice and a draft of the ordinances in July, and received the final draft two days prior to it being sent to the city council.

GUENTHER WITH AN ‘E’

Grand jury votes not to indict NYPD officer Earlier this year, Eric Garner, a black man, was killed by an New York Police Department officer who placed him in a chokehold. Unsurprisingly, a Staten Island grand jury decided not to indict the police officer who killed him.

The NYPD has spent days preparing for any possible riots.

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder is opening a federal civil rights investigation into the case, according to the Washington Post.

CARMEN DIOXIDE

IDS EDITORIAL BOARD

Race is my reality

Optional fees must stay optional

CARMEN HEREDIARODRIGUEZ is a junior in journalism.

ANDREW GUENTHER is a sophomore in political science.

The Indiana Daily Student ran an article Oct. 24, 2014, about a legislative resolution that was proposed and written mainly by the Indiana Public Interest Research Group that strove to change the way optional student fees are implemented.

Currently, student groups on campus who wish to be placed on the Optional Bursar Fee listing must gain signatures from 25 percent of the student body. Those organizations that are successful must then receive funds from at least 10 percent of the student body to remain on the listing.

Students are presented the list of organizations when they register for classes. The current organizations on the list are IU Dance Marathon, the Red Cross, the Sexual Assault Fund and the Student Sustainability Council.

With more than 750 student groups on IU’s campus and only four being serviced by this option, it’s clear there needs to be a change.

The change offered by INPIRG, however, is not the change we need.

In its vision, INPIRG would have the student fee listing be an opt-out option.

This means that students would have to unselect optional fees they don’t wish to pay, as opposed to selecting optional fees they wish to pay. It preys on students who don’t pay attention.

I understand calls from the other side that say those students ought to be more careful when clicking through screens that may impose fees. However, relying on psychology and trickery to force students to either pay attention or accidentally incur fees they may not be able to afford is not serving our students well, nor honestly.

My concerns are echoed by a supermajority of the IU Student Association Congress, of which I am a part, which voted to table the resolution offered by INPIRG. The resolution has all but died since, as in my mind, it should.

Monday, the IUSA Student Life Committee passed my resolution for a new student fee system that would allow student organizations to gain signatures from 10 percent of the student body. After doing so, these organizations would be placed on the IUSA ballot as a referendum. They must receive 20 percent of the student body’s vote to be placed on the Bursar list.

They will then remain on the list for 3 years.

By doing so, I hope organizations will get involved with IUSA, students will pay attention because of organizations and clubs they’re a member of and democracy will once again flourish at IU. Most importantly, there would be no risk of students accidentally being charged money they did not select to pay themselves. Those in opposition will say this will not yield sufficient funding for clubs. However, I uphold democracy and honesty above all else.

The resolution will go before the IU Student Association Congress on Monday. I plan to speak on behalf of my resolution, because democracy must be optional for it to be a true democracy. ajguenth@indiana.edu

ILLUSTRATION BY JOEL BUSTAMANTE | IDS

A waking nightmare WE SAY: Universities aren’t doing enough Meet Jackie, a freshman at the University of Virginia. She just got asked to a fraternity party by a really cute guy she knows.

Long story short, Jackie says she spent hours preparing for her date only to be gang raped for hours by seven men in her date’s fraternity, Phi Kappa Psi, according to a Rolling Stone article.

Meet Jackie’s three friends, who tell bloody-clothed and abused Jackie to second guess going to the hospital because they worry “she’s gonna be the girl who cried ‘rape,’” and they fear they’ll, “never be allowed into any frat party again.”

Aside from the obvious rape issue that has repetitively come to surface at many universities across the nation, the ignorance toward rape has seeped into the minds of the students attending these schools.

Jackie’s friends told her not to go to the hospital simply because her reputation would be tainted.

This opinion is mirrored when Jackie went to the head of UVA’s sexual misconduct board and asked why she couldn’t find campus records for sexual assault.

Dean Nicole Eramo simply answered, “because nobody wants to send their daughter to the rape school.”

Hiding rape statistics isn’t a little white lie.

By skewing and concealing these facts, the administration harmed both the students’ and the university’s reputation.

Jackie says she was sexually abused in 2012. Her story wasn’t released by UVA’s administration — it was told by a journalist at Rolling Stone.

Sure, all is fine and dandy when the real information is shoved in a closet or hidden behind a curtain. But one article like this can open the floodgates to countless sexual violence protesters, opinionated bloggers and political leaders.

In some ways, today’s media enables stories like this to be heard by many ears, therefore causing a school administration to submit a formal apology.

But an apology isn’t action — it’s just words.

The action the university took was the suspension of all campus fraternities until Jan. 9.

A childish time-out for all brotherhoods is too small of a penance for such a serious issue. Instead, the government should step in to call into question the ethics that are instilled on campuses such as UVA. Although one — or seven — man’s actions can’t speak for an entire university, it can speak for an entire culture. This common culture that exists among many university campuses is accepting of rape,

and it has got to stop.

First and foremost, the UVA administration should have the inherent moral commitment to protect its students, not misguide its future ones by putting on a façade of not being a “rape school.”

Though the media has gotten the ball rolling, it’s the government’s job to keep the same ball rolling by implementing policies regarding campus sexual misconduct.

It makes one wonder how many untold stories are out there and people who believe that telling their story “isn’t worth the hassle.”

Admitting you’ve been sexually assaulted shouldn’t be a burden, but the reality is some of today’s policies surrounding rape don’t exactly warmly welcome the victims.

Instead, the process and stigma associated with admitting you’ve been raped is almost sympathized to a point where onlookers perceive them as “wounded victims.”

The Rolling Stone article and its effects prove UVA’s administration isn’t equipped to properly handle instances like this one.

Universities should become more detached from the rape arbitration process, and the government needs to get involved.

ZIPPER UNZIPPED

Startup macho culture needs to change We already know how terrible everyone’s favorite ridesharing service Uber is. From reports of women being kidnapped to threats of digging up dirt on predominantly female journalists, it’s clear drunk 20-somethings who need to get home should instead call up the original ridesharing service: a taxi.

But yet another tech startup has come under fire this week. Online real estate database Zillow has been accused of subjecting female employees to “sexual torture.”

A California lawsuit describes plaintiff Rachel Kremer’s experience at Zillow as disturbing and yes, even torturous.

According to the lawsuit, Kremer’s male supervisors sent her pictures of their penises, ranked her according to her breast size and demanded sexual favors in order for her employment to continue.

Kremer was afraid that if she didn’t comply with their inappropriate advances she would be terminated.

Eventually, she was.

Zillow then attempted to cover up its conduct by forcing Kremer to sign a confidentiality agreement and release, according to the lawsuit.

In case you haven’t heard enough already, the lawsuit also includes some text messages that will be sure to churn your stomach.

In one message, Kremer’s supervisor Gabe Schmidt said, “Call me. Matt is showering. Thinking 333 dinner drinks and your smooth vagina.”

In another, sales manager Cody Fagnant said, “I have a great opportunity that just opened up on my face in the 92660 market.”

These go on and on, but I fear writing any more of this stuff down will summon a Silicon Valley “brogrammer”

to challenge me in a game of beer pong.

This scandal and Uber’s point to a larger problem in startups, especially tech startups in Silicon Valley, which must be addressed: a culture of misogyny.

These companies are predominantly run by men.

This creates a macho culture that isn’t accepting to women.

Women don’t apply for these jobs because they don’t want to be victims of the “sexual torture” that Kremer endured.

When women don’t work these jobs, this macho culture gets even worse. Add this to the past longstanding discouragement of women to enter careers in science and tech fields, and it seems like the cycle will never end.

However, the tide is slowly shifting.

Google and Facebook both joined with the Anita Borg Institute and the Na-

tional Center for Women and Information Technology to support women in tech. Google now has a program for school-age girls promoting coding skills.

But this isn’t enough. Kremer’s lawyers said she reported sexual harassment to Zillow, but no action was taken.

These companies need to support women before and after they are hired. They must take swift action against offenders when cases like Kremer’s arise instead of sliding them under the floorboards.

If these changes don’t happen soon, the startup boy’s club will exacerbate and everyone, not just women, will suffer. zipperr@indiana.edu

The editorial board comprises columnists contributing to the Opinion page and the Opinion editors.

Following the grand jury’s decision to not indict Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson for the death of Michael Brown, experts and amateurs alike have analyzed the issue from countless perspectives.

Although I also possess an opinion about the legality surrounding the grand jury proceedings, I will not delve into the mechanics of the death of Michael Brown, as others with more expertise and sophisticated prose have done so.

All I have to offer is my experience with the concept of race.

I have never fully understood race. As a firstgeneration American born to what the United States would call a “white” mother and a “black” father, I grew up in a family composed of a kaleidoscope of hues.

My parents sought to instill in me a pride for the Dominican culture that defined their identity. They raised me with a mentality that despite being born an American citizen, I would root my identity in the nationality of my family, not my skin tone. They hoped I would not lose my ability to speak Spanish.

They prayed that I would say I am not black, but Dominican.

Thus, when I moved to Indiana at age 4, I didn’t understand that my cinnamon skin and tight curls had a different connotation in this new land. In my young mind, “black” and “white” were colors, not people.

In the late 1990s, my ability to speak Spanish captivated most people in the Midwest, protecting me from the majority of the discrimination I could have faced. However, due to my unique heritage, I never properly fit into any group.

Black girls perceived me as pretentious. White girls shied away from my mother’s home cooking. While some Hispanics were easier to relate to, the majority banded together in their shared Mexican heritage.

It was not until middle school that I began to understand the relevance of race in my life.

People began asking me what I was, and I would answer Dominican.

More frequently, they would assume that I am “black.” I, now knowing that the word “black” is heavily correlated with African-American, would correct them and state my ethnicity.

Their rebuttal usually used the color of my skin and the curl of my hair as evidence to support their theory about my identity.

I am not black, and I refuse to be categorized by a society too ignorant to realize the lunacy of grouping humans into groups based on skin color.

As I watched hundreds protest in the streets of Ferguson following the grand jury’s announcement, I realized race, while not real to me, defines most people in my surroundings.

Black and white are no longer colors, or even labels for different groups, but words laden with ideas of historical, socioeconomic and social significance. I, by proximity, am associated with the trials and achievements experienced by African-Americans.

Although I do not fully understand or prescribe to the color codes of American society, as a dark-skinned American, race is my reality. caheredi@indiana.edu

Laughter echoes down the backstage hallway of the Musical Arts Center as upbeat music plays, preparing the dancers for another dress rehearsal.

Costume racks line both sides of the narrow hall, and people with perfect hair and makeup rush back and forth with their arms full of clothing.

A number of children also bustle around backstage as they prepare for a show that will soon be for them what it is for most of the other dancers: a tried and true classic.

“The Nutcracker” cast rehearses Monday at the Musical Arts Center. The ballet will be performed throughout the weekend.

* * * * * * IU’s Ballet Department will perform “The Nutcracker” at 7 p.m. Thursday, 8 p.m. Friday, 2 and 8 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday at the MAC. For dancers such as senior Matthew Rusk, performing in “The Nutcracker” has become something of a Christmas tradition.

Rusk performed in the show with a variety of groups every year since he was 8 years old, including all four years at IU. It was the first ballet he ever saw.

The show has inspired other dancers as well, such as senior Maura Bell and junior Alexandra Hartnett.

Bell said “The Nutcracker“ was also the first ballet she saw, and it made her want to be a dancer. She has performed the show about 15 times since then.

Now, she said she hopes this performance will inspire people in the same way.

Hartnett said she had a similar experience, first seeing “The Nutcracker” at age 8 when her friend’s older sister was performing.

“That was when I decided I loved to dance,” she said.

Hartnett said performing the show is nostalgic for her now.

“The main thing is that it’s kind of one of those traditions,” Hartnett said.

Dancers in wide party dresses trudge up the narrow spiral staircase. They struggle to hold up their skirts as they ascend to the stage and take their places in the wings behind the MAC’s deep purple curtain.

Whispering back and forth as the orchestra warms up and tunes, directors and tech operators sit at a tech table in the house.

A voice booms over the speaker system. It welcomes an imaginary audience to the show and makes the dress rehearsal feel even more like the real thing. * * * Rusk, who is performing six different roles, said one of the most challenging roles for him is the Cavalier.

This is the second time he has performed this role, he said, and despite its challenges, the feeling of accomplishment is amazing and makes the time spent rehearsing worthwhile.

He said it is one of the most challenging roles a male ballet dancer can take on because of the technique required to execute it.

The dancers have spent up to 25 hours a week working on technique and rehearsing the show since the beginning of October.

A typical day consists

of technique practice from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and then rehearsal of the show from 1:30 p.m. to 5:45 p.m. after a brief lunch break.

Rusk said the rehearsal process for this show is different from others because it is such a classic piece.

Learning the choreography takes a day or so, and then the focus of rehearsals falls on clarifying the details and perfecting the technique used in the show, Rusk said.

After that, full runthroughs happen regularly, even though the dancers don’t start performing onstage until the week of the show.

Hartnett said she is also in a repeat role as a sugar plum fairy.

Hartnett said one of her goals is to embody the character more while also working on the Arabian, a role that is completely new to her in terms of style and movement.

Hartnett said a dancer is worrying not just about herself, but also about all the other moving parts and people onstage with her.

She said every little detail is important. * * * “For me, the energy is always very exhilarating,” Bell said. “We’re really tight-knit, super supportive,” she said.

“We love dancing with each other,” she said.

Rusk also shared his perception of the performance.

He said when he gets on the stage, he senses the audience and feels their support, as well as the support from the other dancers.

“It’s just a really powerful experience when you’re in it,” he said.

Rusk also said he was sorry to perform his last version of IU’s “Nutcracker” and plans to give the best performance he can.

“I’m really sad this is my last year doing this particular version,” he said.

Though Hartnett is not graduating yet, she said IU’s ballet is wonderful for the community.

It is good to use as an introduction to ballet, and the fact that it happens on campus makes it even more accessible to students and people in the community, she said. * * * A party is in full swing onstage. Children play with toys, and dancers act as dolls, putting on a show for them.

Adults glide gracefully across the floor, long skirts dusting the ground around them.

When the nutcracker is presented to the children, they show wild enthusiasm, especially Clara, the nutcracker’s proud new owner.

Soon, the party draws to a close after a festive celebration.

Guests clear off the stage, and two servants seek a drink from glasses not fully emptied.

The stage falls nearly silent as a single light rests on the nutcracker.

Clara creeps back on stage in her nightgown and looks at the figurine.

She takes him with her back to her room and falls asleep, not knowing that even more Christmas magic is yet to come.

NOT A MISSION TRIP

Redefining the idea of being free Many Rwandans I have met speak very good English, but sometimes things translate a bit differently.

The best one: When many of our host families were trying to tell us to “feel free” to do something, they would say, “Be free.”

The phrase soon became the motto of our trip.

It’s a contradictory phrase for this particular journey.

This semester I’ve been studying post-genocide restoration and peace-building.

The idea that we should all just “be free” oversimplifies the idea of freedom.

Survivors of the Rwandan genocide can’t suddenly be free from the physical and psychological trauma they endured.

The children forced to go to war in Uganda can’t just

decide to be free.

And black Americans can’t just be free from decades of discrimination and mistreatment, something I’m reminded of as I prepare to go home shortly after the Ferguson verdict.

The “free” sentiment has come up often in this trip.

A couple months ago, my class met with a women’s cooperative formed of widows of the genocide or the wives of genocide perpetrators. The point of the cooperative was to forgive each other — one woman, for example, had to forgive the wife of the man who killed her son.

Another woman told us, “You have to forgive to feel free.”

Those women were the most free people I had ever met, and I was floored by their wisdom and bravery.

Rwanda taught me about constantly changing my perspective.

Those women taught me about forgiveness, and so many have taught me about what it’s like to live after trauma.

It has also taught me that humanity has limitations.

There are extremely kind and giving people in Rwanda, just like there are extremely kind and giving people in America.

Similarly, there are very bad people in Rwanda, just like there are very bad people in America, or anywhere else.

We’re all just people.

There’s equality in that — we all feel pain, we all laugh, we all make mistakes sometimes.

Yet there’s an inequality in the environments we grow up in.

We’re victims to circumstances outside our control.

I feel free by coming

to Rwanda.

I feel free because I understand a little bit more about this country and a little bit more about the rest of the world.

But I also know that there are a million more things I need to learn because every single person I have met in Rwanda has shaped my perspective in some way.

Truthfully, I took more from Rwanda than I could give to it. I can’t count how many times people assume I’m on a service or mission trip.

Those are honorable endeavors but not what I was here for. Rwanda gave me much more than I could give back. cjeller@indiana.edu

War changes people.

It can affect their family, lives and aspirations. It can take over citizens and divide friends and family members.

War, and its effects on countries and people, is the theme of the University Players’ final show of the semester, “Honey Brown Eyes.”

The play, written by Stefanie Zadravec, takes place in Bosnia in 1992, the first year of the Bosnian war.

During the war, more than 100,000 people were killed in acts of genocide, the worst act of genocide since the Nazi regime.

The first part of “Honey Brown Eyes” takes place near the border of Serbia, and the second half is set in the capital city of Sarajevo.

“The focus of the play is on these normal people who have these extreme circumstances thrust on them,” said Jackson Goldberg, who plays a character named Dragan.

Dragan is a 22-yearold soldier who fights for the White Eagles military group, a group that was responsible for the majority of the genocide.

Before the war, Dragan performed in a rock band with another character named Dennis.

He dreamed of being a famous rock star, but the band broke up when the war began.

“The play is about who these people were before the war and who they are now,” Goldberg said. “All of these people are trapped into this situation where they’re either a soldier or a victim.”

Goldberg said one of the biggest challenges was to put himself into that situation and portray the feelings correctly. With such a heavy play and one about a real-life event, he wanted to do it justice.

“Because this really happened, it seems so important to honor these peoples’ stories and portray what

they went through,” Goldberg said. “It’s just about getting everything right.”

Junior Catherine Bustos, who plays Zlata in the production, felt the same pressure.

“There’s a lot of pressure to take these true accounts and put them into a character,” Bustos said. “To not do it justice is almost shaming their memory.”

Getting everything right didn’t come easy to the cast, who has only had about two weeks to put together the show.

They’ve only been working in the theater with the costumes, lights and set for a week, putting intense pressure on the actors to focus and work hard.

“Even though the hardest part is getting it right, it’s also the big thing that makes us work harder,” Goldberg said. “We all feel we have a bit of an obligation to the people that really went through this.”

Bustos’ character is only 12 years old, and getting into such a young mindset proved to be a challenge.

To prepare, Bustos talked to her younger cousins to learn about their opinions and how they look at things. She also read “The Diary of Zlata Filipovic,” which is a diary account of a young girl who lived during the war.

In the play, there are very few details about Zlata, so Bustos had to channel what she learned through the novel and her cousins.

“She didn’t really have a background,” Bustos said. “She didn’t really have a childhood. It’s been stripped from her growing up in the middle of this.”

“Honey Brown Eyes” will be performed at 8 and 10:30 p.m. Friday and 8 p.m. Saturday in the Lee Norvelle Theatre and Drama Center.

The performances are free and open to all. After the closing performance on Saturday, the University Players are hosting a gala featuring Eastern European appetizers from Anatolia.

“We were the perfect people at the perfect time,” Dakota said.

They’d been burned, too.

Dakota constantly fights to maintain full-time status in the face of labor cuts. Kaisa had been convinced to move to the Elm Heights store on a promise that she’d get promoted. But after she brought it up to her manager multiple times without avail, he screamed at her on the store floor and accused her of making it up. Feeling like she’d been tricked to work hard for someone else without recognition, Kaisa moved back to East.

They know that if the union effort fails, they will quit. They might not have a choice. * * * The unionization effort goes against the trend happening right here at home, said Joseph Varga, professor of labor studies at IU. Indiana is a Right-to-Work state, meaning that even if a union is elected by the workers, workers are allowed to opt out and not pay dues. Unions still support workers who do not pay dues within their store, but companies only have to satisfy the demands of a majority of dues-paying workers.

ny has to negotiate contracts.

Bloomington was once a hub of unionization. At the city’s unionization peak in the 1960s, about 4,500 factory workers, working at plants such as Westinghouse, RCA, General Electric and Otis Elevator, were part of a union.

Now, that number is about 400 unionized workers, mostly at the GE plant that was just sold. Everything else has closed down and moved out.

What happened? The oil embargo in the 1970s, Varga said. The panic forced companies to find profits in new ways. In the age of globalization, relocating to a country with cheaper wages became the favored solution.

But Bloomingfoods is part of a union awakening in the service industry, the only sector that’s making any union growth, Varga said. You can’t outsource service work. These unions are gaining steam as workers across the nation demand a higher minimum wage.

“People know the system is unfair and unsustainable,” Varga said. “They instinctively know that.”

But sometimes that doesn’t matter.

The Nestle plant in Anderson, Ind., was said to have fired all seven workers who approached them about unionizing. They budgeted for lawyers instead. * * * Dakota and Kaisa listed out their friends in order of whom they could trust.

— Bailey McAden, Lia Hirst and Andy Marrs — first, since Dakota and Kaisa knew those coworkers wouldn’t turn them in.

The stress was agonizing.

Kaisa wouldn’t eat. Dakota lost five pounds in two weeks and only slept four or five hours a night.

They contacted 20 similar trustworthy people in the first week alone. They spent Kaisa’s birthday driving around and talking to fellow workers.

By the end of two weeks, they had 80 union authorization cards signed.

Not everyone is on board.

The unionizing committee received hate mail and angry comments on its Facebook page, Unite Bloomingfoods.

Dakota had to block people from the page. One person came into his store and accused him of censorship.

“Whatever,” he said. He walked into the back office.

Workers on the clock can’t talk back to customers. * * * Tensions came to a head at the Oct. 7 board meeting.

The office is tiny, meant for only 40 people, but at least 50 made the march from the Monroe County Courthouse to the administration office on South Gentry Street.

In a co-op, everyone buys in and owns a piece of it, meaning all member-owners are welcome at these meetings. But only about 200 of the 11,000 member-owners voted in the August board elections.

That day, things changed.

Angry epithets were hurled by

those not let in. In the meeting, member-owners had a two-minute chance to speak each. Many questioned the administration’s stance on the unionization effort.

It was at this meeting that Bloomingfoods confirmed they had met with the unionbusting lawyer.

They announced they’d never had him on retainer — merely contacted him as part of their investigation into union practices. They’d reached out for advice across the spectrum, Jeff said, and had talked to retired union workers and other co-op managers who had been through the process to get a sense of what to expect.

The anger was palpable, but momentarily stilled.

The annual meeting had a considerably cooler atmosphere. People were calm but clearly curious. The crowd lined out the doors and down WonderLab Museum’s winding staircase.

That evening, George spoke to the member-owners about the challenge of balancing their co-op values.

“Deciding how to best allocate our resources is not an easy task,” he said in his speech. “We may have let the balance shift too far in the other direction.”

They announced an official agreement of neutrality that night. * * * When George started in the early 1990s, Bloomingfoods was worth about $2 million and employed about

30 people. Now, it spans five locations, 300 employees and $25 million.

George argued that for Bloomingfoods to continue serving the community, growth is needed.

“We can do better and more if we grow,” he said. “It’s a twist on the conventional business model.”

Growth doesn’t come without pain. Elm Heights, the most recent expansion, experienced more losses than expected when it opened due to a number of extra wrinkles, including diverted attention to the unionization effort, George said.

In a conventional business, a store is out to make money for shareholders. A coop exists to provide business that member-owners want.

Jeff and George both noted that the relationship with the UCFW organizers, especially Scott Barnett, was positive.

“We took the most agreeable road possible,” Jeff said.

“A lot of people wanted to turn this into a battle, and it never was.” * * * It’s silent in the lobby of the Marriott Hotel on College Avenue. After months of work, the decision comes down to 15 minutes of counting votes.

Kaisa dwells on the possibility that they could lose.

What would they do then?

Quit. But after that?

More member-owners attended the recent meetings than they have in years. The store has taken steps to be more open with its customers.

Regardless of the outcome, things have already changed.

Dakota emerges first, face steady. He is absolutely cool.

“88 to 23. We won.”

Kaisa comes out on the verge of tears.

Kaisa immediately begins calling the stores, winded, as if she’d been waiting until now to take a breath. * * * It isn’t over.

Kaisa and Dakota are sitting at a table at the upper balcony in Elm Heights on their day off.

“Everyone is kind of in a funk,” Kaisa said.

The negotiating team was chosen. Dakota is an official member, and Kaisa is not. It’s probably for the best, she said.

“I wanted to be involved, but then people would say, ‘But it’s just those people again,’” she said.

She is taking every opportunity to learn about interestbased negotiation. She might have the opportunity to work for UFCW on union leave — a privilege for union member employees so they can still have an income while they do union work in other places.

They have other dreams.

Kaisa wants to go back to school to study geology and chemistry. Dakota wants to start a one-man bonsai nursery.

Exposing the truth mattered. But it was also hard to watch.

“We’ll never be promoted,” Kaisa said.

“But we knew that,” Dakota said. “It was worth it to us.”

The action also expands the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which allows children who entered the U.S. before 2010 to apply for relief.

The action was designed to help immigrants create businesses and receive jobs to maintain their visas and work permits, as well as foster educational opportunities for foreign students.

Junior guard Kevin “Yogi” Ferrell passes the ball underneath the basket during IU’s game against SMU on Nov. 20 at Assembly Hall.

» FERRELL

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Through seven games, Ferrell has done that.

Ferrell is taking 23.7 percent of IU’s shots this season, down from his 27.9 percent rate last season. With the scoring burden no longer solely on his shoulders, Ferrell has found his teammates more often this season, tallying almost two more assists per game than last season.

As a result of his altered role, Ferrell’s efficiency statistics have skyrocketed. A

season after shooting 41 percent from the field and 40 percent from 3-point range, Ferrell’s numbers have improved to 47.5 percent and 46 percent, respectively.

Defensively, he has solidified his position as one of the most effective defenders in the Big Ten. Crean often calls the 6-foot Ferrell his team’s best post defender and one of its most difficult one-on-one matchups in practice. Often undersized, Ferrell uses his quickness and instincts to lock down his man.

In February, Crean assigned Ferrell to guard 6-foot6 Michigan guard Nik Stauskas. Ferrell held the eventual Big Ten Player of the Year to just six points on 1-of-6 shooting in IU’s upset win.

“We have nobody that’s defending with the intent that he’s defending, at the level he defends,” Crean said. “He can defend anybody. That’s why I think he’s one of the better guards in the country on both sides of the ball.”

The Naismith Trophy Watch List will be trimmed to 30 players in February.

You all had an awesome Saturday night, and they’ve got to hit the road at 10 a.m. Sunday. You all wake up at 9 a.m. and head down Kirkwood to the best breakfast hub in town — the Village Deli.

There may very well be a wait — the restaurant is often completely packed, note

the slogan, “Eat and Get Out!” — but it’s entirely worth it.

From the restaurant’s “famous, colossal, huge, ginormous, fresh” pancakes to the cheese- and gravy-topped Paxton’s Potatoes worth waking up at dawn for, the Village Deli is the perfect spot for brunching with friends.

Best coffee Soma

2. Starbucks 3. The Pourhouse Café

Be still, my cheesy heart.

Whether you’re stumbling out of Kilroy’s at 3 a.m. or going for a stroll down Kirkwood with your significant other at noon, there’s no better option than the Big Cheeze.

You can get the classic “Mac Daddy,” a grilled cheese filled with mac and cheese, the “Vatican,” a mozzarella grilled cheese filled with sausage, pepperoni and marinara, or even the “Momma Smacker,” a smoked gouda grilled cheese with barbecue pulled pork and caramelized onions.

Whatever you get, it’s a guarantee you’ll leave with a huge smile on your face.

It’s always exciting to see the little guys win.

In a society over-caffeinated and overcharged by the big coffee chains, Soma has broken through the mold with its two Bloomington locations, one off Kirkwood and one at the corner of Third Street and Jordan Avenue.

Aside from its full menu of coffee varieties, Soma also offers specialty drinks, teas, smoothies, juices and baked goods.

Choose from the adorable downtown shop or take a seat in the southeast location overlooking the Jacobs School of Music — either way, you’ll get the feeling of coffee shops of days gone by, with a delicious warm beverage in hand.

Best ethnic food Anatolia

Best place to workout SRSC

2. My Thai 3. Taste of India

2. Wildermuth Intramural Center 3. Anytime Fitness

Nestled squarely among the veritable United Nations of restaurants that compose Bloomington’s incredibly diverse Fourth Street, Anatolia takes the crown this year because of the outstanding quality of the restaurant’s food.

Featuring a menu of classic Mediterranean and Turkish dishes, from kebabs and moussaka to stuffed eggplant and baked dolma, Turkish stuffed grape leaves, Anatolia is authentic Turkish fare right here in southern Indiana.

Whether you’re looking for a nostalgic taste to remind you of home or a meal that breaks out of the everyday humdrum, the quaint and cozy Anatolia is the spot to get the best ethnic food in town.

Serving students for nearly two decades, the Student Recreational Sports Center (SRSC), located towards the northwest end of IU’s campus, is the spot to workout.

The $22.5 million facilities include strength and cardio areas, a spot for group exercise and yoga and even racquetball and squash courts. The SRSC also has gyms, basketball courts and an indoor track for running or walking so you can still get in your workout during those awful Indiana winters.

The one part of the SRSC that wasn’t completely student-funded is the Counsilman/Billingsley Aquatic Center – an Olympic-sized pool open to students right on campus. The best part: cost of entry for the SRSC is just your student ID.

Former Hoosier signs with Indianapolis Former IU offensive tackle and Indianapolis native Andrew McDonald signed with the Indianapolis Colts on Tuesday.

McDonald started 25 games for IU in his Hoosier career. He started the last 23 at left

tackle. The 6-foot-5, 317-pound lineman graduated in 2012 and was most recently with the Seattle Seahawks.

He also played with the Miami Dolphins, Panthers and then ending up in Seattle.

Hartman makes return following ACL recovery

By Sam Beishuizen sbeishui@indiana.edu @Sam_Beishuizen

BEN MIKESELL | IDS

Sophomore forward Collin Hartman goes up for a shot against North Carolina Greensboro on Friday at Assembly Hall.

SPORTS FROM THE NORTH

IU going the extra mile to protect its sense of tradition If there’s one thing that IU prides itself on, it’s tradition.

From the world-famous basketball student section (the largest in the country), to the sculptures of famous IU presidents and other greats, to all the tradition involved with the Sample Gates on Kirkwood Avenue, it’s almost impossible to ignore.

Heck, President Obama attended the women’s race at Little 500 back in 2008 during his run for the presidency.

So, it’s easy to see how that focus on tradition would naturally spread to the athletic program.

The school’s hosted superathletes like Mark Spitz — the original Michael Phelps — as alumni, in addition to sporting legends like Isiah Thomas, Steve Alford, George Taliaferro and Cynthia Potter.

The center of this sports tradition, though, is Assembly Hall — the crown jewel.

In a state that eats, sleeps and breathes basketball, that court is nationally regarded as hallowed ground in the basketball world.

It’s consistently ranked as one of the top three home court advantages in college basketball, and anytime IU’s players step onto that hardwood, they’ve got a solid shot at a W no matter the competition.

Just look at 2011, when a talented, young Hoosiers squad took down Anthony “The Unibrow” Davis and his No. 1 ranked, eventual NCAA champion Kentucky Wildcats with a buzzer-beater that won an ESPY for the best play of the year.

The following month, they managed to defeat No. 2 Ohio State and No. 16 Michigan in Assembly Hall in back-toback weeks.

So it’s only natural for a little apprehensiveness to arise when the University announces a $35 million plan to renovate the stadium like it did in July, which would remove a room containing more than 60 years of memorabilia and replace it with an elevator shaft.

IU, very conscious of its rich tradition, found a unique solution that would digitize the box scores, game pamphlets and coaches’ resumes the athletic department has accrued through the years with the help of the school’s library department.

Put simply, the things there are invaluable.

The memorabilia was highlighted in a story by the Indianapolis Star and features such gems as a team photo with Coach McCracken and Bobby “Slick” Leonard, a play-by-play sheet from

AUSTIN NORTH is a senior in journalism

IU’s Rose Bowl appearance in 1968 and Eric Gordon’s freshman student-athlete questionnaire.

The photos will be stored in a temperature and humidity controlled room offcampus, safe from decay and everyday wear and tear.

The fact that IU has gone to such lengths to protect its traditions while at the same time improving its own facilities for the future says a lot about the integrity of the University, not just in athletics.

The school could easily just remove the memorabilia without a second thought in anticipation of the exciting new renovations, but instead, it values its past and embraces it.

That history means as much, if not more, to the State of Indiana and its people as it does to IU, and that’s a breath of fresh air given how bureaucratic and cold higher education can be.

Now, if only we could get Coach Knight to come back to Bloomington. aknorth@indiana.edu

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

IU picks up ACC/Big Ten Challege win From IDS reports

IU found itself up by about 10 points close to halfway through the second half for the second consecutive game.

Against Indiana State, IU collapsed. The Sycamores rallied and handed IU its first loss of the season.

Tuesday against Boston College, that changed.

IU led wire to wire in a 7667 win against Boston College as part of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.

“I think the big thing for us is we were in the same situation tonight as we were a few nights ago against Indiana State,” IU Assistant Coach Todd Starkey said on 105.1 FM after the game. “We handled ourselves in tight situations better than we did.”

After being held to just 10 points on 2-for-11 shooting against Indiana State, freshman guard Tyra Buss bounced back to score a career-high 24 points to lead the Hoosiers.

The win improves IU’s all-

time Challenge record to 5-3.

The Hoosiers (5-1) have now defeated their ACC opponents for three consecutive seasons.

The victory was IU’s first road win of the season in the team’s first opportunity.

“It’s going to be a learning process throughout the season, especially in these road games when it’s going to be difficult, so I’m really proud of how we played,” Starkey said.

Sam Beishuizen

Collin Hartman acknowledges that maybe he has surprised a few people with how quickly he returned from an ACL injury.

The sophomore forward suffered a torn ACL in his right knee March 15 when he incorrectly planted his leg in a drill at practice. He went into surgery to repair the torn ACL on March 26.

Because the injury occurred at the end of last season, IU Coach Tom Crean didn’t expect Hartman to return so quickly from his injury, despite doctors telling Hartman it was realistic to be ready for the start of the 201415 season. IU’s first game was nearly eight months after Hartman’s surgery, but Crean wasn’t as optimistic that he’d be in shape to play basketball.

“Frankly, if I had to look at this a couple months ago and say we would have had him for the exhibition games, even though the doctors were optimistic, I wouldn’t have shared that same optimism,” Crean said. “Fortunately, I was wrong.”

Hartman was cleared to play shortly before IU’s first exhibition game to start the season. He’s suffered no setbacks thus far and is averaging 4.7 points and 3.9 rebounds per game.

It’s a partially unexpected surprise for Crean, who said Hartman is playing the way Crean imagined when he recruited him. An ACL injury, although increasingly common among athletes, takes months for recovery, and that’s without considering the time it takes to get into

playing shape.

But for now, the only outside indication of his injury is the heavy black brace he wears on his knee.

Surprised by the recovery?

Hartman isn’t.

This has been the plan all along.

“The day that it happened, I actually kept telling myself, ‘I’m going to be back next season,’ because it was a sixmonth period, six-and-a-half months away,” Hartman said.

“I always thought (recovery) was six to nine months, so I just shot for six months.”

The 6-foot-7 Indianapolis native brushed off most of the credit for his unexpectedly quick recovery, passing off the credit to IU’s team surgeon Steve Ahlfeld, team doctor Tim Carl, strength coach Je’Ney Jackson and his team.

At home, Hartman said his family was his strongest support, but he wasn’t about to receive any pity from them.

His mother has had six knee surgeries of her own, and his stepfather has had a complete knee reconstruction surgery.

He said the mental strain was the toughest part of the recovery. While his teammates practiced on the court, he was spending two-hour sessions in rehab that he said tested his mental endurance.

“We talked about a little bit, just having something taken away from you kind of makes a whole new mindset for you because you don’t know what you’ve got really until its gone,” Hartman said.

“I’d never really not had basketball. Just not being on the court, not being able to work with the guys and do everything everybody else does.

It kind of just gave me a new

hunger almost to just get out there and just be aggressive (and to) be able to help the team.”

What had junior guard Kevin “Yogi” Ferrell talking the most about Hartman was not the fact he was on the court, but how he was playing on it.

Hartman scored just 11 points all of last season and went 0-of-3 on 3-pointers.

He spent ample time taking regular sessions with “The Shot Doctor,” better known as Assistant Coach Tim Buckley.

Buckley significantly improved Hartman’s form. He used to shoot with his elbow out, but now he has it more tucked underneath the ball.

Hartman said he’s fading away too much when he jumps but that his mechanics are as good as they’ve been.

Crean doesn’t label Hartman as a spark off the bench or a point forward. Crean described Hartman as simply “a basketball player.”

Right now, the basketball player is finding his groove and his role in IU’s rotation.

Whether it be scoring a few points or grabbing a loose ball, Hartman said he’ll do whatever the team needs.

Ferrell played against Hartman in both AAU and high school and has spoken highly of Hartman’s confidence and abilities. He said he wasn’t surprised with how quickly he recovered and added he’s glad he did.

“Yeah, he’s kind of looking like his old self a little bit,” Ferrell said. “I think the thing is, his confidence got up, and I think that is the biggest part.

If he just does everything that coach says, he can get out there on the court and definitely contribute for us.”

2011 MacBook Pro 13” $700; 4 GB Ram; 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5; 250GB SSD. I upgraded the hard drive to a 250 GB Solid State DriveSSD ($180 value). It is super fast with the SSD, literally it is faster now than when I first bought it.

I have never had a problem with viruses.

I’ve had a hardcoverblack case with it since I bought it, so it has been protected at all times. I’ve never dropped it. I am the first owner. Everything will be wiped from the computer, and it will feel like a brand new computer, with a few blemishes. LOCAL PICKUP ONLY. Also, I’d be happy to let you test it out first, because I won’t be wiping the hard drive until I have a confirmed buyer.

Example: It will open Microsoft Word in 2 seconds and photoshop in 4 seconds. (812) 212-5269

Fantasy epic proves to be best of 2014 ‘Dragon Age: Inquisition’ A “Dragon Age: Inquisition” is a glorious return to form from BioWare and ensures this franchise is here to stay.

You play as the Inquisitor, a human/elf/dwarf/Qunari who is the lone survivor of a cataclysmic event known as the Breach — a tear in the boundary between Thedas and the spirit world.

It is up to the Inquisitor and the people standing behind him to solve who did it and why. Playing the previous two games is not

necessary but knowing the backstory is.

Make sure to set up your world state through Dragon Age Keep to customize decisions from the past two games without having to purchase them.

“Dragon Age: Inquisition” is not like “The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.”

Despite the stylistic similarities, the games have much more different focuses. “Skyrim” is all about the importance of self and giving a vast open world to explore.

“Inquisition” focuses much more on the characters and overarching plot.

Unlike the traditional

BioWare party-based game, the motley band of followers is now its own faction that has to step into the power vacuum that resulted from the Breach.

The vacuum happened over a conclave of some of the most powerful and influential people in Thedas.

Several large and open areas serve as much of the game’s side-questing areas, though major campaign events happen in selfcontained areas as well.

Advancement is tied to power, earned from doing side-quests as well as main story missions.

Once you earn it by completing sidequests, you

have to spend it judiciously.

Power can be used to unlock new areas to explore in.

A mind-bogglingly comprehensive crafting system for weapons, armor and your own personal castle in addition to the wide variety of materials make this the most customizable “Dragon Age” game to date.

Every companion in the game is uniquely fleshed out, and they encompass a wide variety of viewpoints and backgrounds, from the no-nonsense Cassandra contrasting the brash and free-willed Sera.

Gameplay is a nice blend of the styles of “Dragon Age:

Origins” and “Dragon Age II.” The reintroduction of the tactical camera is a plus, as well.

Graphics and visuals are beautiful here, with the Frostbite 3 engine being used to great effect. A bevy of small audio glitches and framerate hikes are noticeable, but for a game this size, it is to be expected.

PlayStation 4 players need to update their console’s firmware to version 2.02 in order to avoid gamebreaking crashes.

“Dragon Age: Inquisition” stands out for all of the reasons a BioWare game is worth playing: wellstructured narrative, fully

fleshed out characters and an immersive universe to get lost in. It’s my pick for Game of the Year 2014.

I think you should buy buy this game.
