There were boos as the IU men’s basketball players ran off the floor. Boos as No. 17 Maryland celebrated on the court. Boos as Maryland sophomore forward Jalen Smith slapped the IU logo at midcourt and head coach Mark Turgeon pulled his star away from taunting the IU crowd. What seemed to be a game where the Hoosiers would complete the type of large national statement suddenly devolved into the exuberance of an opponent rejoicing on the hardwood of Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. There was supposed to be a celebration for a second upset win in as many games. There was supposed to be a celebration for a surefire spot in the AP Top 25 come Monday. But the attitude of a boisterous Assembly Hall crowd flipped in an instant.

Night Moves, the only strip club in Bloomington, opened the doors to its new location Thursday evening at 3160 S. Walnut St. The club is for the old and the young, the lonely and the horny. The club has been around since 1993, co-owner Rodney Domer said. The city bought the club’s former building further south on Walnut Street in 2017 as part of its plan to build Switchyard Park. Domer, 53, said it was difficult finding a new location due to the city's zoning rules for adult-oriented businesses. Still, he said reopening night was a success. The club advertised its reopening on social media, but he said most awareness is by word of mouth. “If someone wants to go to a place like this, they’ll find it,” Domer said. Customers can get a lap dance for $20 or go to the VIP room with a dancer for $150 per half-hour. Domer said the new location has more space, and the layout allows for more privacy, whether for lap dances or plain old conversation. “Some guys come in here because they’re lonely,” he said. “Sometimes they just want to talk.” On the club’s doors and awning, the Night Moves logo of a woman lounging on a yellow crescent moon, breasts bared, welcomed guests to a night of boobs, beer and dollar bills. Inside, the smell of fresh paint and the sound of nervous laughter floated through the air, and scantily clad women sashayed around the club. A dancer who asked to be identified by her stage name, Jazz, has worked at Night Moves for five months. She said she would miss the old location because it’s where she learned to pole dance. “It’s bittersweet,” she said. SEE NIGHT MOVES, PAGE 6

IU returned home this weekend to compete in the Gladstein Invitational. The Hoosiers dominated their competition, taking home multiple first-place finishes. The smaller invitational included Ball State University, Butler University, Taylor University, the University of Southern Indiana, Northwood University, Grand Valley State University and Miami University at Ohio. “We need to get something out of everything we do. We can’t just go to the well with high-level competition every weekend,” IU head coach Ron Helmer said. “These meets allow us to get more attempts in field events because we’re going to make the finals.” The Hoosiers won 10 different events Friday. Sophomore Arjun Jha won the men's mile with a time of 4:00.84. Sophomore Alexis Hill tied for first in the women's weight throw with a distance of 20.69 meters. Freshmen Lauren Thomas and Grayson Rolen won their first ever events. Thomas won the 400-meter dash with a time of 57.37 seconds, and Rolen won the high jump with a mark of 2.02 meters. “They get to see that their work is paying off,” Helmer said. “That journey from being a good high school kid, to competing at a Big Ten school at a high level, is a fairly long journey, and they need these smaller victories to keep them motivated.” Senior Adam Coulon continued his four-meet winning streak

Students organize rally over US-Iran conflict By Joey Bowling jobowl@iu.edu | @joeybowling8

Dressed in heavy coats and jackets, about 20 protesters stood in a circle, looking at the speaker and trying to keep the blood flowing to their extremities. Shouts of “No justice, no peace, no U.S. in the Middle East” rang across the square, prompting bewildered looks and wary gazes from those outside the circle of protesters. IU student groups Young Democratic Socialists of America organized a rally with Students for Peace in the Middle East Saturday, protesting the ongoing U.S.-Iran tensions. They also discussed how Iran's history contributed to its current situation. “Memories in the U.S. are short,” said rally organizer Jessy Tang, who uses they/them pronouns. “We have a responsibility here, today, to remember the history." Linda Stewart, a 57-year-old protester, railed against Republicans and Democrats during the rally, calling both parties “bullshit,” and saying neither are good options for voters. She said she hoped people would continue fighting against senseless war. “I am for humanity,” Stewart said. American citizens also become pawns to be used by governments, said Hamish Munro, a member of Democratic Socialists of America,

The U.S. military is seen by many as the only way to pay for college or get a liveable wage, and he said it exists as a way to funnel bodies to the frontlines in order to fight for corporate interest. The benefits veterans receive after serving are twisted as well, Munro said. The military adver-
