‘Everyone’s against hate’ Bloomington United’s rally was supposed to show community solidarity in the fight against hate, but it wasn’t well-recieved by all. By Lydia Gerike lgerike@iu.edu | @lydiagerike
Bloomington United’s Evening of Solidarity brought about 200 people Tuesday evening to the Monroe County Courthouse, but not everyone who showed up was in support of the rally. Rabbi Sue Silberberg, executive director of the Helene G. Simon Hillel Center and one of the co-directors of Bloomington United, was interrupted as she spoke to the crowd about how Adolf Hitler normalized the persecution of Jewish people. “Over the past two years, we’ve been watching a similar phenomenon here in America,” Silberberg said. Toward the front of the crowd, someone yelled out. “No, we have not,” David Majercak Sr. said. Silberberg continued to talk. Majercak tried to yell over her. “You’re the Hitler,” he said. As he walked away from the square, Majercak told the IDS he originally thought the rally was against President Trump, who Majercak consid-

ers to be a great president. He found out it was against white supremacy, which he is also against, but still thinks the rally’s general anti-hate message is weak. “Everyone’s against hate,”
he said. But Silberberg and co-director Doug Bauder, also director of the LBGTQ+ Culture Center, said the event was particularly important right now because of recent community

The IU Health Center has stopped writing verification of visit slips for students suffering from short-term illness, injury or mental health problems who miss classes, assignments or tests. The new policy went into effect Aug. 1. There will be exceptions made for students who have ongoing serious illness, injury or disability, which will be determined on a case-by-case basis by the medical providers, said Pete Grogg, executive director of IUHC. “It really kind of relies on the communication between the student and the provider and the provider’s judgement whether or not they get this exception,” Grogg said. An announcement regarding the policy, found on the IUHC website, lists reasons why the IUHC instituted this new policy. One of these is that the medical providers at IUHC have no verifiable way of knowing if the student was actually ill enough to seek care. IUHC providers are not tasked with figuring out who actually is or isn’t sick, said Beth Rupp, medical director of IUHC. “I am not going to say they’re lying,” Rupp said. “That’s not my job, we were just giving a form saying they were seen here that day.” Last school year, the health center began conducting random surveys. One question asked them to indicate the reason they attended the health center. Around 4.83% of students who completed the survey from December to April said the main reason for their visit was to obtain a verification of visit note. “Some people would do that, they would walk into my office and sit down and say, ‘I am just here for a note,’” Rupp said. Another reason cited in the announcement is how the $45 cost of visiting IUHC can put those with lower incomes at a disadvantage from their peers. IUHC only accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield or Anthem insurance to offset the costs. Bo Slade, president of Culture of Care, a student-led group which works to instill a campus culture in which students care for one another, cited the cost of the visit as a reason to approach the IUHC in 2018 to discuss the removal of the verification of visit forms. “For some people the idea of going to the health center and paying $45 for a check-up is no big deal, but for others that’s a lot of money,” Slade SEE HEALTH, PAGE 9

IU Athletics releases alcohol sales regulations By Will Coleman wicolema@iu.edu | @WColeman08
Joining six other schools in the Big Ten, IU Athletics announced this past spring it would be making beer and wine available for purchase at home football games starting this season. The athletic department released details of the plan Tuesday afternoon. With other collegiate programs such as Louisiana State University joining in on this revolution, IU athletic director Fred Glass is all for the move and thinks it will positively influence game days in Bloomington. “We have worked closely with our campus leadership throughout the planning stages to put together a thoughtful plan for beer and wine sales,” Glass said in a press release. “Our main goals with this initiative have been to enhance the gameday experience for our fans and reduce alcoholrelated incidents in and around the stadium. I believe our plan will accomplish that.” After an intensive procurement process with the university, IU Athletics teamed up with local company Upland Brewery for its alcohol-sale pilot program at Memorial Stadium. At most of the general concession stands and a number of new kiosks throughout the stadium, fans will be able to purchase alcohol through the end of the third quarter of home games. Domes-

The Eskenazi Museum of Art recently received a gift from IU alumni Luzetta and Del Newkirk to go toward the museum’s newly-renovated cafe and gift shop, which will then be named after the Newkirks. Members of the museum’s National Advisory Board, the Newkirks are also lifetime members of the IU Alumni Association and longtime advocates for the local art community, including that of IU. During her time as an IU student, Luzetta was a journalism major and worked for the Indiana Daily Student on the arts desk. Since then, she has spent 14 years as a member of the museum’s docent corp, where members volunteer as educators and guides for the museum. In 2017, The Eskenazi Museum of Art began a $30 million renovation to provide students a more engaging art experience. The new expansions have created spaces for education and an arboretum entrance that acts as a welcome to the museum. The museum also supports a new graduate program offering students hands-on experience in a wide array of business, merchandising and hospitality realms. The Luzetta and Del Newkirk Cafe and Gift Shop will be reopening November.

Local Democrat runs for city council as an independent By Lydia Gerike lgerike@iu.edu | @lydiagerike
A Bloomington Township board member running for city council is facing backlash from the Monroe County Democratic Party for filing as an independent candidate in the race. During a Monday evening meeting, a group of of the county party’s precinct chairs and board members discussed publicly denouncing Marty Spechler, who serves on the township board as a Democrat, for his independent run for Bloomington City Council District 3. Many members also stressed making a stronger party push or public statement of renewed support for District 3’s Democratic nominee, Ron Smith. They said Spechler’s ties to the party might be confusing to voters since he is not endorsed by the Democrats, although he tried to convince them to back him. Spechler said he still considers himself a moderate Democrat and is only running independently because he missed the deadline to file with the party. “I’ve been a Democrat all my life,” Spechler said. Spechler originally supported Jim Blickensdorf for the nomination, he said. Blickensdorf withdrew from the race in March after the Herald-Times reported on lawsuits related to a Bedford, Indiana, strip club he purchased. Because Blickensdorf dropped out, Spechler said he thought he would be the

next-best person for the job. He previously served as a council member from 2012 to 2016. “It’s an anytime job,” Spechler said. “I’m a person who’s available anytime.” Randy Paul, formerly the precinct vice chair for Bloomington 21, resigned from his position last week after he heard Spechler’s campaign was being questioned. It was the breaking point after a string of growing issues Paul said he’s seen in the party over the years. Paul said in a Saturday interview it seemed like the party didn’t understand Spechler was running independently because of deadlines and that Spechler’s political beliefs weren’t in question.
“He’s never left the Democratic party,” Paul said. Paul originally said he believed the Democrats would try to push Spechler to resign from his township position. On Monday, meeting leaders made it clear that they could not force Spechler to resign and said they weren’t asking him to. However, Bloomington Mayor John Hamilton, who attended the meeting as chair of the Perry 14 precinct, said he thought resignation was the right move for Spechler. Hamilton said Spechler was elected as a Democrat and is now not running as one, and he had an equal opportunity to register for the original party deadline even though he chose not
to because of Blickensdorf’s candidacy. “I’m a party person,” Hamilton said. “I think parties are important.” No decisions were made at the meeting. Some members were not able to attend or comment, and officers were still considering who would be involved in the final process. Smith, also present at the meeting, said he thought it was important to continue acknowledging that he is the Democratic nominee but wasn’t entirely opposed to Spechler continuing his campaign. “I’ve thought a lot about this in the last week or so, and I have no problem with Marty running,” Smith said. “Let the voters decide.”
Singh named Distinguished Undergrad By Jeramie Hatcher jeramiehatcher@gmail.com @jeramiehatcher
Arjun Singh, a member of IU’s chapter of Delta Upsilon was recently named 2019 Distinguished Undergraduate for the Delta Upsilon International Fraternity. Daniel Ladendorf, a mentor for Delta Upsilon, nominated Singh for the award. It’s the highest recognition that the Delta Upsilon International Fraternity gives out at the Leadership Institute to undergraduates. Ladendorf feels this recognition helps reveal the positive traits of greek life at IU. “These young men are academically gifted, serviceoriented, and philanthropically inspired,”Ladendorf said. “Arjun’s accomplishments and this award showcase one of the best of the best in the Greek community at Indiana University.” Singh, a member of the class of 2019, graduated with a degree from the Kelley School of Business with a 3.9 GPA. Singh worked as a consultant for 180 Degrees Consulting, an affiliate of the business school that consults non-profit organizations. He served as vice presi-
Organizations and nonprofits around Bloomington are always in need of help from volunteers, and the new director of the Volunteer Network said she is looking to streamling getting involved in the community. The city is ushering in Lucy Schaich, an IU graduate, as the new director for the City of Bloomington Volunteer Network. She is stepping into the role after serving as assistant director for 18 years. “I’ve been doing a little bit of everything as I’ve worked through almost two decades, so I come with some experiences,” Schaich said. The Volunteer Network is nested under the Community and Family Resources Department, which contains multiple, separate advocacy commissions to address community issues. Some of these groups include a commission for the status of black males, women and children and youth. “We work to help connect our residence and families to resources and give them an outlet for advocacy,” said Beverly Calender-Anderson, the director of the Community & Family Resources Department. “Lucy’s main goal is to connect volunteers of all ages with opportunities to serve.” People looking to get involved can go to the Volunteer Network website to see what opportunities are available . The Volunteer Network offers opportunities for all ages, with some projects welcome volun-
teers as young as 10. The network also helps student groups get involved as well, especially students involved in greek life. “We want to connect people of all ages because we believe that service helps you become a part of the community,” CalenderAnderson said. Schaich has been a part of that community for a while. Calendar-Anderson said Schaich’s personality will help her succeed in the position. “She brings a wealth of experience working with agencies and working with young people,” CalenderAnderson said. Schaich has completed work with Wonderlab, a science museum in Bloomington. “Lucy is a champion for civic engagement and community connections,” said Wonderlab Volunteer DirectorJeanne Gunning. Gunning said she appreciates how Schaich keeps all the volunteer positions current on their website. “It’s a really robust system,” Gunning said. Although nothing has been completely set in stone, the department is currently examining some changes to be made to the Volunteer Network, such as making it more tech-friendly. Schaich said they are exploring how they can keep up with the needs of the organization as the technology changes. “When I started, everything was on paper,” Schaich said. “The way that groups want to engage is always changing, and now there’s more options than ever.”

dent of the Corporate Strategy Club, an organization run out of the Kelley School of Business that coordinates workshops to help shape students of any majors into better leaders. Singh also was a mentor for the Investment Banking Workshop, an organization that offers courses to high achieving finance and accounting students at the school. “He was a regular volunteer with the chapter’s Home Fire Safety Campaign with the American Red Cross and even assisted the Delta Epsilon Educational
Foundation with its Founders Day of Giving fundraising efforts,” a press release from the Delta Upsilon International Fraternity said. Another important position Singh held during his time at IU started his sophomore year. Singh served as vice president of external relations for the IU chapter of Delta Upsilon. Delta Upsilon has faced internal issues. According to IU’s website for the division of student affairs, the fraternity is currently on disciplinary probation for Dishonest Conduct.
According to Ladendorf, after the disciplinary action was taken, the fraternity underwent external changes to its leadership and reform to the morals and ethics of the chapter. Singh has served in leadership since then and is largely credited with the return of the fraternity to good standing. “I had the pleasure of working with Arjun and his peers to successfully navigate the chapter back into good standing, to grow its membership and to set it on a path toward success,” Ladendorf said.
Man arrested for string of car thefts By Grace Ybarra gnybarra@iu.edu | @gnybarra
The Bloomington Police Department arrested a 27-year-old Indianapolis man Friday evening for the alleged theft of eight cars out of the parking lot at The Fields apartment complex. BPD Lt. John Kovach said Aaron Johnson owns Integrity Cleaning, a Bloomington cleaning company hired by The Fields to clean the apartments before new tenants moved in for the start of the school year. Johnson told police while working at The Fields, he overheard that international students leave their vehicles in the lot over the summer. He told police he looked for vehicles with expired plates in the lot to identify ones that belonged to international students. He then hired a tow company to transport the vehicles out of the parking lot to various locations in Indianapolis. Vehicles began to disappear at the beginning of August. An individual whose car had been stolen reported to police he received an unidentifiable phone call from someone who claimed they would return the vehicle for $800. A stolen 2015 white Dodge Charger was found at the College Mall and the 2015
silver Audi A3 was found on Downey Avenue in Indianapolis. During the investigation, BPD detective Chris Scott spoke to the manager of The Fields and discovered they had no towing contract and did not call to have any vehicles towed. An employee told BPD he remembered seeing a tow truck and gave them the name of the company. Another tow truck was spotted in the parking lot Aug. 22. BPD arrived and questioned the driver. The tow truck driver said he was called by an individual to pick up a 2014 white Audi Q5 from Rock Maple Drive in Indianapolis and return it to The Fields. The driver later called BPD to tell them he was called again to return a 2018 white Dodge Challenger to The Fields. Scott posed as a tow truck driver and accompanied the driver to pick up the vehicle. A female came out to pay the driver $250 for the tow. After being arrested, the woman told Scott that Johnson was driving around a red Pontiac Grand Prix. He was later found and arrested. Seven out of the eight stolen vehicles have been recovered. A 2013 white Chrysler 300 valued at $15,000 has not yet been recovered. Matt Rasnic Editor-in-Chief Christine Fernando & Ty Vinson Managing Editors

Local fire protection districts may merge By Mel Fronczek mfroncze@iu.edu | @MelissaFronczek
In August, Van Buren and Bloomington townships each held public meetings to make the public aware of a proposed merger of the townships and the Monroe Fire Protection District. The merger would give fire departments more resources, at the cost of a slight increase in property taxes, said Dustin Dillard, Monroe Fire Protection District fire chief. The proposed merger would take effect Jan. 1, 2021, and incorporate Van Buren and Bloomington townships into the district. The district serves Perry, Clear Creek and Indian Creek townships, sending 5 vehicles when responding to calls in those townships. It also contracts with Salt Creek and Polk townships, sending 3 vehicles and receiving resources like water from the Pleasant Run Volunteer Fire Department in Lawrence County. Van Buren and Bloomington townships each have their own fire departments. County commissioners will hold a meeting Sept. 11 if more than 50 people object to the merger. They will meet again Sept. 18 with their final decision, regardless of any objections. Dillard said the merger

The City of Bloomington Fire Department sits with its doors open Aug. 28 on East Fourth Street. This year, the Monroe County Fire Protection District may be merging. A proposed merger would incorporate Van Buren and Bloomington townships and the Monroe Fire Protection District.
would increase the county fire department’s staff by about 75%. He said the departments are now chronically understaffed. “The county fire departments were operating with personnel numbers that were really 20 or 30 years behind,” he said. Dillard said personnel are already busy because fire departments are treated like a “community toolbox.”
“If you can’t find the department that’s supposed to fix it, you call the fire department,” he said. The merger would eliminate township lines when it comes to fire protection. Though the firehouses would stay, there would be new station response zones to ensure the closest station responds to calls. Dillard said response time should stay the same if
the merger takes effect, if not quicker. He said he thinks about 20% of the district would see a shorter response time. Bloomington Township trustee Kim Alexander said the merger would depoliticize emergency services by giving more control to the county, rather than the township, such as having the budget approved by the county council.
“The fire department belongs to the county,” she said. Van Buren Township trustee Rita Barrow said the merger would standardize procedures across all fire departments. “They need to know how to respond to calls efficiently,” she said. “That way, they can help the most people and hopefully save their lives.” The merger would come with an increase in property
taxes. Dillard said a third-party consultant estimated that a $100,000 home would incur a maximum increase of about 14% in property taxes. “It most likely will not be that high, but it’s a worst-case scenario,” Dillard said. Alexander said Bloomington Township residents would likely fluctuate, then end up about the same amount they are now in three years. Barrow said Van Buren Township residents would only have about a 3% increase in property taxes, which would be gradual throughout the first few years after the merger. Along with the increased taxes, Dillard said people have also expressed concern about the status of the fire district in the case of annexation, if the city increases its jurisdictional boundaries. He said they worry about paying for something that may stop applying to them. “Once you’re in the fire district, you’re not going to be annexed as far as fire protection,” he said. “The city can annex, but the fire district’s still going to be your fire department.” Alexander said this is due to a state law allowing townships to join a district without giving up their tax moneyfor fire departments.
IU political activity policy SCOTUS may have to decide unifies department policies if electors can be restricted Tribune News Service By Eries Smith eriesmit@iu.edu | @smith_eries
Students and staff at IU are under the authority of the policies and codes that govern the University even as they get reviewed, changed and updated. In addition to the university’s policies, IU students have a code outlining their rights, responsibilities and conduct. The code states that some rights include engaging in discussion, expressing thoughts and opinions and assembling, speaking, writing, publishing or inviting speakers on any subject. The student code also outlines responsibilities including behaving with dignity and respect and in a way that upholds academic and professional standards. Faculty and staff also have outlined IU policies to abide by, but the Political Activities of Academic Personnel policy was recently rescinded.
After the policy was rescinded, a different policy, the Political Activities policy, covered the political activities of academic personnel. Since early spring of 2019, political activities are in one central policy that covers all of IU. “The evolution of the policy is to distinguish the line between an individual’s political activity and political activity that might implement the University,” said Brad Boswell, assistant director for government relations at IU. Boswell said that these efforts are to avoid stifling political expression of IU’s affiliates. “The purpose of the policy is to protect the University interests from becoming entangled in private personal political activity,” Boswell said. IU’s chief policy officer, Kip Drew, said in an email that the University encourages student
involvement in policy implementation and review. “Students are important stakeholders, but they are not policy owners,” Drew said. A recent example of student input affecting policies is the recent changes to the Sexual Misconduct policy. The recommendations for the policy changes were facilitated by the IU-Bloomington Sexual Misconduct student working group. Drew said in the future, policies will be reviewed at least every five years. The Policy Advisory Council, made up of members from multiple campuses and administrators, is tasked with reviewing new and revised policies and will continue to meet regularly. “In addition, students are always welcome to provide input on existing, new, or updated policies via the website, either through a dedicated email or our policy feedback form,” Drew said.
Waitress tracks down purse stolen from The Tap in Bloomington By Ben Price beprice@iu.edu | @benprice789
Rebecca Schmidt was arrested Tuesday on preliminary charges of theft for allegedly stealing a Kate Spade purse full of gift cards and cash. The victim of the theft is a waitress at The Tap, a bar in downtown Bloomington. She told police she left
her purse in an upper office during her shift. The purse contained gift cards, credit cards, a shirt, her car keys and $550 of cash. She looked at her credit card statement and noticed a fraudulent charge for a hotel room at a Courtyard Marriott. The woman went to the hotel and asked the clerk for the room number that was
purchased using her card. The woman confronted the suspect at the hotel room, demanding her stolen items back. Schmidt returned most of the waitress’ belongings but had already spent $310 of the cash. Schmidt told police she spent the money on items at CVS and gave the rest of it to a friend to purchase meth.

Heading into what looks to be a hard-fought presidential election, the Supreme Court will probably be asked to resolve a lingering but fundamental question about the creaky, littleunderstood electoral college system adopted in 1787. At issue is whether states can require their appointed electors to cast ballots for the candidate favored by most of the state’s voters on Election Day, or if electors may instead choose whomever they wish when convening a few weeks later. Rebellions by state electors have been a rarity in history, but a recent court ruling gave electors greater freedom to vote their conscience, and that could tip the outcome in a close election. Article II of the Constitution created the electoral college to elect the president, rather than relying on a direct vote of the people. It says that states “shall appoint, in such manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a number of electors” that reflects the population of the state. Those electors in turn would vote for the president and vice president. Since the early 1800s, this system has operated as “largely a formality,” the Washington state supreme court said in May. The electors, by pledge and often by law, cast their votes based on how their states vote. The candidate who wins the most votes in the state wins all the electoral votes, with the exception of Maine and Nebraska, where electoral votes can sometimes be split among candidates.
But last week, the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver upset the conventional understanding by ruling the electors have a “constitutional right” to vote as they wish for president, even if state law requires them to abide by the people’s choice. The appeals court ruled for Micheal Baca, a Democratic elector in Colorado, who in 2016 cast his ballot for Ohio Gov. John Kasich, even though Hillary Clinton won the majority of Colorado’s votes. He was among several so-called faithless electors who in 2016 voted against the choice of their state’s voters. Writing for a 2-1 majority, Appellate Judge Carolyn McHugh focused on the words used in 1787. “The definitions of elector, vote and ballot have a common theme: They all imply the right to make a choice or voice an individual opinion. We therefore agree with Mr. Baca that the use of these terms supports a determination that the electors, once appointed, are free to vote as they choose,” she said in Baca vs. Colorado. “The text of the Constitution makes clear that the states do not have the constitutional authority to interfere with the presidential electors who exercise their constitutional right to vote for the president or vice president candidates of their choice.” Colorado’s secretary of state, Jena Griswold, said the decision “takes power from Colorado voters and sets a dangerous precedent.” State officials said they expect to appeal. Los Angeles lawyer Jason Harrow, who represented
Baca and the group Equal Citizens, said he will appeal the issue to the Supreme Court in a similar case from Washington state that resulted in an opposite ruling. “We now have a split, and there’s no need to wait longer,” he said. “We want a decision before the 2020 election, and the sooner the better.” Unlike the 10th Circuit, the Washington state supreme court said the Constitution “gives to the state absolute authority in the manner of appointing electors ... . The power of electors to vote comes from the state, and the elector has no personal right to that role.” By an 8-1 vote, the state court rejected a constitutional claim brought on behalf of Levi Guerra and two other Democratic electors from Washington who were fined $1,000 because they did not cast their ballots for Hillary Clinton, who had won the state. Harvard law professor Larry Lessig, who founded the Equal Citizens project and argued the Washington state case, said the aim is to “reform” the electoral college. “We know electoral college contests are going to be closer in the future than they have been in the past, and as they get closer and closer, even a small number of electors could change the result of an election,” he said in response to the Colorado ruling. “Whether you think that’s a good system or not, we believe it is critical to resolve it before it would decide an election.” By David G.

Democratic presidential candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden poses for selfies with supporters Aug. 8 at the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines, Iowa. Biden’s lowest suggested donation is $250, although some reach $2,800, and he remains friendly toward traditional power centers such as Wall Street.
To judge candidates, study their donor bases Bryce Greene is a columnist for the IDS.
In electoral politics, candidates live and die by fundraising. The 2016 general election cost a total of $6.8 billion among all of the candidates. The presidential race accounted for $2.8 billion. All political figures understand that where candidates get their money has a profound effect on his or her actions while in office. As the race for the 2020 nomination continues, where candidates get their money says a lot about whose interests they will favor as president. In 2008 Barack Obama ran a campaign of “hope” and “change” that some described as an “unprecedented” grassroots movement. Other observers noted Obama’s massive corporate support and expressed skepticism at his high-minded rhetoric. Former New York Times writer Chris Hedges predicted that under the Obama presidency, “corporations would continue their ruthless drive to disempower the citizens, to protect an entrenched American oligarchy and to subvert what is left of
our faltering democracy.” His prediction ended up coming true. After accepting millions from big pharma and the health insurance industry, Obama gave them a gift of a healthcare plan pulled from right-wing think tanks. After taking millions in Wall Street donations, he staffed his White House with Wall Street personnel and failed to take serious action against those responsible for the 2008 crash. During his presidency, incomes for the bottom half of Americans continued to stagnate, and a massive amount of wealth was transferred to the ultra-wealthy. Obviously Hillary Clinton was a better option than Donald Trump, but a Clinton presidency would not have looked too different from Obama’s. In 2016, the landscape shifted. Bernie Sanders challenged Clinton, the queen of big money, with a campaign entirely financed by individual contributions. His campaign explicitly rejected corporate or PAC money in favor of a mass donor base. The fact that it was successful was a watershed moment for American politics.
For 2020, we see many candidates attempting to tap into the progressive passion that Sanders popularized. All top candidates have rejected the use of corporate PACs and signed a pledge rejecting fossil fuel money.This does not mean the wealthy are being ignored in the primaries. A key driver for many of the candidates has been private events to court wealthy donors. Front-runner Kamala Harris even rejected an appearance at the candidate climate forum in favor of one such event. Harris later reversed her rejection after public outcry. Joe Biden of course is as devoted as ever to his base of political insiders and large corporations. The lowest suggested donation for his fundraisers is $250 while some go as high as $2800. He remains friendly to big pharma, Wall Street and many other traditional power centers. When asked in April, the Buttigieg campaign sent the Center For Public Integrity a list of 23 bundlers that included a former Goldman Sachs and British Petroleum lobbyist. The list also included members of the Pollack family, one of America’s
wealthiest. Only Warren and Sanders have rejected use of bundlers and fancy fundraising events. Both have the highest proportion of small to large dollar donations of the top candidates. Sanders still dominates the field of individual contributions with 950,000 donors contributing millions since his announcement. He is keeping to his small dollar donation strategy that he used in 2016. Warren has earned about half a million donors since she announced her run. However, she has said her grassrootsonly strategy is only for the primaries rather than an attempt at changing the way politics is done. It will be interesting to see whether or not she sticks to the same anticorporate rhetoric should she win the nomination. Money is the lifeblood of our politics. It matters a great deal who it goes to, where it comes from and what powers it represents. Getting money out of politics has always been a line used to earn easy applause, but some candidates are more serious about it than others. greenebj@iu.edu
IAN’S INSIGHTS
World leaders miss the mark at G7 summit Ian Nowlin is a sophomore in international studies.
Last weekend’s Group of Seven (G7) summit coordinated economic policies among seven industrialized democracies – Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States. However, this tradition of cooperation was turned upside down by President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who looked to further their nationalist agendas. Protectionist trade policies dominated the conference, including Trump’s escalating trade war with China, France’s proposed sales tax that would target American technology corporations such as Facebook and Apple, and threats of retaliatory American tariffs on French wines. Johnson failed to reach an agreement on Britain’s exit from the European Union. The clock continues to tick until October 31 when Britain will exit the EU with or without an agreement. If a deal cannot be made, the U.K., our closest ally, will plunge into economic turmoil. These heads of state seem to have forgotten the original purpose of the G7 summit. It was created in 1975 to provide a venue for the noncommunist powers to

address pressing economic concerns, which, at the time, were rampant inflation and a global recession. Nationalist leaders like Johnson and Trump will continue to place populist demands over international cooperation. Other world leaders should not give into these demands. Instead, they should find a way to work around nationalist sentiments to benefit the greater good. We are at the brink of another global recession that is only exacerbated by America’s trade war with China and fears of a no-deal Brexit. Corporate insiders have sold $600 million of stock per day in August,
a rate that closely resembled the months leading up to the Great Recession in 2008. However, last Tuesday, before the G7 summit, Trump insisted “I mean, our country is doing very well.” While that might be true for now, several major countries have reported slow growth—including our fifth-largest trading partner, Germany. The United States would face the disastrous consequences of a major recession regardless of whether or not it started in another country. International cooperation would make a recession shorter and milder. Despite
this, Trump refused to even acknowledge the possibility of a recession, which was a highly irresponsible decision. The G7 Summit is a place where the most powerful nations can work together to solve global problems. Yet Johnson and Trump sought to distance themselves from international organizations that promote collaboration among countries. Johnson spent most of his time at the summit courting Trump in the hopes of achieving a post-Brexit trade deal. This would alleviate the consequences of a no-deal Brexit on the U.K. but leave France and Germany in the dust to hold up the EU. Unfortunately, on other global issues such as climate change, Trump has also kept his America-first agenda. On Monday, he skipped a meeting on the Amazon forest fires, and one member of the president’s staff even referred to climate change as a niche issue. International politics should be thought of in terms of partnership, not winners and losers. To avoid economic and ecological disasters, other leaders cannot participate in Johnson’s and Trump’s zero-sum game. Although we must recognize when they are unsuccessful, Americans should not lose faith in international forums and institutions. ianowlin@iu.edu
In 1919, a handful of architects, designers and craftsmen started the Bauhaus design school in Germany to change the world. They wanted to modernize architecture and product design by stripping away old-fashioned ornamentation, streamlining elegant design, and making it available for all people. If they could have hopped into a time machine and traveled 100 years ahead and visited any Target, IKEA or highrise office building, they would have been astonished how thoroughly successful they were. My Bauhaus-educated parents had a hand in this transformation, though my younger self struggled to understand their passionate opinions about design. I remember back in 1983, when my architect father traveled all the way from New York City to Columbus, Ohio, to visit my first apartment. The ratty brick house cost less to rent than my parents’ parking spot. My father stepped into my beige-carpeted room and said, “These old places sure do have a lot of molding.” I commented, “It’s kind of sweet, isn’t it?” He turned pale. “If you like molding, you are a fool and a failure.” The profound disappointment in his voice made the charge sting even more. He had dedicated his life to Bauhaus values, and he had evidently raised a daughter who, tragically, didn’t seem to share them. But my life started out with molding. After they married, my father had moved into my mother’s apartment, where she was raising a son from an earlier marriage. I grew up loving the Venetian blinds, the hissing radiators, the exposed brick ... and the molding. I still look at photographs of that old apartment sentimentally: the bentwood rocker, the round dinner table made of curly maple, the vase of anemones on the windowsill. They sing to me like an origin story from the old country. At my father’s insistence, we moved when I was 6. My brother was 14 and needed his privacy. My father was 41 and needed his modernism. We followed the moving van to a brand-new apartment building in Chinatown, on the day of the New York City blackout in 1965. There was no molding, no wood, no brick. The junction of wall to ceiling was crisp and simple and white. The windows had nautical rounded edges and no sills. Form equaled function. It has taken me most of my life to figure out what is “good,” design-wise, from the amalgam of my parents’ tastes. I remember asking myself as a kid, over and over inside my head: “Am I supposed to like this?” I still ponder that question when I find an object that pushes the crafty boundaries of art. My parents’ opinions are sometimes surprising. They loved Shaker furniture. They disliked Andy Warhol. They loved “Yellow Submarine.” They hated black velvet paintings. They loved laboratory glassware. Designer clothes were stupid. It was all so hard to figure out! In the second half of my life, I’ve worked to communicate their fine-tuned aesthetic to my children and now my wife, Peggy, who asked, while we were first dating, “Who is this Mr. Bauhaus?” Modern design is the family shield, a family crest. I was not only born of my mother and father; I was born of Black Mountain College and the Institute of Design — two Bauhaus schools established by artists escaping Germany after Hitler shut down the Bauhaus. Mom
went to Black Mountain in North Carolina in 1947. Dad went to the Institute of Design in Chicago in 1950. They met when my mom hired my dad to build her a geodesic dome studio in the woods of Connecticut. It became the first residential geodesic dome in the world. It has been our summer house and perpetual work project over the last 62 years. With my childhood came the task of understanding and distilling their aesthetic. Learning its contours, its history and its sense of humor. Why a squashed metal garbage can found on the street belonged on our wall. How the shape of a vintage toy top seemed to bring my dad more joy than some works of architecture. My parents weren’t elitist. They liked “outsider art” and childish drawings more than any art in a frame-store window. When I went to private school in Brooklyn, I had trouble reconciling our aesthetic with my friends’ homes. “Why can’t we get curtains? Everyone at school has curtains!” I begged. There were other things my friends had: peaceful homes, no fighting, salad on the dinner table, pillows on their couches, everyone pitching in with the dishes after dinner. But here’s what my family had: My parents and their friends were creating what would be the cusp of 20thcentury modern art. My father gave up almost everything to catch the golden ring of modernism. He left his family’s modest apartment in the Bronx, with its tchotchkes, to go to Cornell University. He lost any chance of his father’s approval when he majored in ornamental horticulture. After a four-year interlude fighting Germans and freeing Jews in Europe, he returned to Cornell and tried to finish his horticulture degree. But he gave that up to start all over in architecture at the Institute of Design. He gave up two wives — one sweet, one impossible — because he was so devoted to drafting Platonic-solid-based domes. And then he found my mother, who seemed to speak his language, who understood the new look of this 20th century, who was painting large abstractions of the horizon, trees, the moon, and time’s passage, and who wanted a dome studio. My mom didn’t have to give up as much; her bohemian family loved that she went to Black Mountain, even though it wasn’t accredited. They even sent her to Paris on a troop ship the summer before college to study art at the Academie Julian. It was there that she met her first husband, Bob Rauschenberg, and brought him back with her to Black Mountain. I didn’t let them browbeat me out of molding. I live in a 1906 house with plenty. I’ve spent much of my life figuring out my own path as an artist. But the Bauhaus family traditions persist. I gave birth in my art studio to my daughter, who just graduated from art school. I raised a son who repainted his gray walls white. I reflexively know what Mom and Dad and the soul of the 20th century would like. The Bauhaus turns 100 this year. My father, Bernard Kirschenbaum, passed away three years ago at age 91, leaving his brilliant life work of minimalist sculptures. My mother, Susan Weil, is 89 and having a show of her work in Munich this summer. My brother, Chris Rauschenberg, who also lives in a house with molding, has a fantastic photographer’s eye. I am writing essays about it all. Fools and failures, none. Sara Kirschenbaum Los Angeles Times

An assortment of garlic cloves is sold from Living Roots Ecovillage on Sept. 1 at the 2018 Bloomington GarlicFEST. The 2019 Bloomington GarlicFEST will start at 11 a.m. Aug. 31 and Sept. 1 outside Waldron Hill Buskirk Park.
Labor day weekend brings festivals to Bloomington By Pooja Jeyakumar pjeyakum@iu.edu
This Labor Day weekend, multiple festivals will take place in Bloomington, including different types of entertainment such as jazz music to diverse cuisines to bubbles. There are so many options for how to spend this Labor Day weekend around downtown Bloomington, but here are a few worth mentioning. B’Town Jazz Fest From noon to 10 p.m. Saturday, various musical acts will perform in the Monroe Convention Center downtown. Admission and parking are free, but donations are accepted, and there will be food, drinks, artist CDs and more for purchase. The lineup consists of the Crossroads Quintet, Rachel Caswell Quartet, Char-
lie Ballantine Quartet with Amanda Gardier and more. In between each of the 45- to 50-minute acts, high school combos will also perform. Fourth Street Festival of the Arts and Crafts This festival is from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. The festival will take place across all of Fourth Street; however, a landmark location would be Taste of India as the festival runs from Indiana Avenue to Grant Street. The festival is free to enter and, due to the busy schedule of the other three festivals, visitors can find parking at the Convention Center and use a shuttle service to get to Fourth Street. Food from local restaurants can be found lining both sides of Fourth Street, which is known as a hub for international food in Bloomington.
Bloomington GarlicFEST At 11 a.m. Saturday and Sunday outside of the Waldron Hill Buskirk Park, GarlicFEST will feature a cooking contest, local artists, a kid zone, healthy eating education and more. The festival lasts until 10 p.m., has free admission to the public and will take place outdoors. The entire celebration is to promote a healthier lifestyle, while supporting Bloomington’s local musicians and artists and bringing the community together. PRIDEfest The sixth annual PRIDEFest will take place from 2 to 11 p.m. Saturday, taking place on East Kirkwood Avenue between Walnut and Grant streets. The festival will have live entertainment, vendor booths from local organizations and businesses,
activities for children, food and more. Some performances from artists include Lucy Stoole, Tenderoni and The Wanting. Although PRIDEfest is on Saturday, Pride events have been scattered through Bloomington all month, and the festival will be a culmination of Pride month. BubbleFest This three-day festival will take place from Saturday to Monday at WonderLab Museum of Science, Health & Technology. Museum hours include Saturday through Monday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m, with general admission tickets priced at $9. BubbleFest takes place from 1 to 5 p.m. on all three days. Some activities include a bubble engineer station, billowing bubble sculptures and glowin-the-dark bubbles.
This September, the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival will feature a documentary about an IU Professor of Folklore entitled “Henry Glassie: Field Work.” The documentary showcases the professor’s life’s work in studying the artistic works of various ethnic and cultural groups around the world. “I don’t study people,” Glassie said in the documentary. “I stand with people and study the things they create.” The documentary follows the director, Pat Collins, and Glassie as they visit artists and artisans in Brazil, Turkey, Ireland and North Carolina and interview them about their craft. In the more than seven decades of his life, Glassie has made it his personal mission to document and explore the artisanship and artistry of cultures whose stories aren’t well known in the United States. Glassie’s work has brought him into contact with innumerable distinct craftspeople, from Brazilian sculptors and metal workers, to rug makers and weavers in Turkey. Collins became famil-
iar with Glassie’s work through an interview on an Irish radio station. Glassie’s knowledge and articulation enchanted the filmmaker, who began corresponding with Glassie for years before meeting in person and proposing the idea to make a film. The documentary, which is ostensibly about observing the artistry of many cultures, is told through the lens of Glassie’s unparalleled experience and insight. Glassie was initially hesitant to appear in the film himself, as he wanted the documentary to focus solely on the works he had been studying for decades. “Though I did convince him to sit down for one interview, it wasn’t until we reached his home in Bloomington, Indiana, that we sat him down and spent two days asking him questions,” Collins said in a press release. “Henry’s ideas were the glue that would bring the film together.” “Henry Glassie: Field Works” will be shown as part of the “Contemporary World Cinema” program at the Toronto International Film Festival, which will take place from Sept. 5–Sept. 15.

Three things to know as IU takes on Ball State By Caleb Coffman calcoffm@iu.edu | @CalCoff
It’s finally time for football to return to IU. Once again, IU fell one game short of bowl eligibility as the Hoosiers ended their 2018 campaign with a 5-7 record and only managed two wins in the Big Ten. IU now looks to get off on the right foot against Ball State University as they strive to become eligible for a bowl for the first time since 2016. IU kicks off its 135th season of football Saturday against Ball State in Lucas Oil Stadium. After losing three straight meetings to Ball State in 2008, 2011 and 2012, IU has won the last two matchups in 2016 and 2018 by a combined 38 points. The last time the two teams met at Lucas Oil Stadium was in 2011, where Ball State took the win 27-20. Here are three things to know about the Cardinals as the Hoosiers go for their third straight win in the series. The Cardinals are an experienced team Ball State comes into the season returning 20 starters from last season and has a veteran core with 41 upperclassmen on their roster. On the offensive side of the ball, the Cardinals bring back eight starters, including the entire offensive line who have a combined 98 career starts. Included in the returners is senior Andrew Poenitsch, who was
named to the preseason Rimington Trophy watch list for the most outstanding center. “It’ll be a challenge,” IU head coach Tom Allen said. “We got a lot of young guys, new faces and new opportunities, but yeah, that’s where the game is won and lost is up front.” On defense, Ball State is just as experienced, bringing back nine starters from last season. Seniors Ray Wilborn and Jacob White, alongside juniors Jaylin Thomas, Christian Albright, and Bryce Cosby all started at least eight games for the Cardinals last season. That core of five upperclassmen accounted for 37.8 % of Ball State’s tackles last season and half of the Cardinals’ interceptions. Ray Wilborn has the potential to be a real problem Last season, Wilborn was one of the most productive players on the Ball State defense. The Garden City Community College transfer had an instant effect for the Cardinals as he quickly asserted himself in the linebacker group, starting all 12 games. Wilborn led the way for the Ball State defense with a team high of 83 tackles, 10.5 tackles for loss and two interceptions. He also finished second on the team in both sacks and forced fumbles with two apiece. Wilborn looks to take another step in his junior season for Ball State as he will attempt to disrupt the revamped Hoosier offense.
With IU’s offensive line giving up the 90 most sacks per game and also the 81 most tackles for loss, Wilborn’s size and speed on defense may prove to be a tough challenge for the Hoosiers as they try to keep him out of their backfield. Ball State has a new gunslinger With Riley Neal transferring to Vanderbilt, there was a hole at quarterback that was quickly filled by junior Drew Plitt. Plitt played in eight games last season and took the reins as the starter for the final three games of last season following an injury to Neal. During his limited action, Plitt threw for 1,008 yards, six touchdowns and eight interceptions last season and was awarded the Ball State Ray Louthen Award as the most improved player. The Loveland, Ohio, native is looking to shine in the spotlight in his first year as the starter and improve upon an up-and-down sophomore season. IU will need to prove they have taken a step forward from last season, or else a veteran Ball State team will have an opportunity to spoil the Hoosiers’ opening weekend. “Our word for this week is prove,” Allen said. “We’ve had a long time to let this fester and let our guys really, really work hard to create change in this program, both in recruiting and now player development. Now, we get a chance to go out there and prove it on the field.”
A look at the Hoosiers’ defense By Will Coleman wicolema@iu.edu | @WColeman08
IU football is one season removed from being the No. 81 team in the nation in scoring defense. The Hoosier defense, however, generated 2.2 turnovers per game last season, good for ninth best in the country. Fast forward 10 months, and IU’s defense has a new look. Head coach Tom Allen handed over play calling responsibilities to defensive coordinator Kane Wommack, and IU’s highest-rated recruiting class in program history boasts a lot of talent on the defensive side of the ball. There’s unquestioned depth at each position, and Wommack is exuberant about the potential and identity of his ‘Swarm D’ unit. Allen has never been shy of his lofty aspirations of coaching a Top 25 defense in the country, but this season could be his next step toward that. Here’s how the defensive line and linebackers break down. Defensive line The Hoosier defense wasn’t stellar covering the opposing ground game in 2018, but the defensive line showed its flashes. IU let up 183.2 rushing yards per game last season but also averaged 1.1 fumble recov-
eries per game, one of the 11 teams in the nation with as many takeaways in that fashion. The defensive line lost seven athletes, four of which started in multiple games last season, to graduation and they combined for 89 tackles and six sacks in 2018. Sophomore Alfred Bryant and senior Allen Stallings IV will likely slot in at the defensive end spots while junior Jerome Johnson returns to the interior. Beyond that, there are some holes to fill for the Hoosiers. IU might not have as much of a veteran presence on its defensive line this season, but it’s a line with a sizeable short-list of young reserves waiting to get on the field and make a name for themselves. Sophomore Juan Harris, who came back to IU after transferring to Independence Community College for the 2018 season, will surely factor into the rotation with sophomore Demarcus Elliot, a Garden City Community College transfer, right behind him. Senior Gavin Everett and sophomore James Head Jr. will return to the fold with play time at the defensive end, but a number of others may decrease their play time. Redshirt freshman Madison Norris and freshman Beau Rob-
bins have a lot to prove out of fall camp, and there’s a good group of underclassmen that can fill in at multiple spots on the line. Linebackers Allen likes to throw two linebackers out at opposing offenses. After making 10 starts and recording 36 tackles last season, it would be hard to imagine not seeing senior Reakwon Jones as a routine starter. Aside from Jones, however, IU’s linebacker room is left in a heated competition for play time. The favorites to be the second starting linebacker are sophomores Thomas Allen, Cam Jones and Micah McFadden, in addition to redshirt freshman James Miller. McFadden exceeded expectations and played in all 12 games last season, but Miller shined in his three appearances before ending the season as a redshirt. The Hoosiers will ultimately get all of those players involved and even leave some opportunities available for redshirt freshmen Aaron Casey and Robert Tolbert IV as well as freshman D.K. Bonhomme. With Wommack set to take over on defensive play calling, Allen’s defense could begin using packages with additional linebackers. It could be the only way to get all those players involved.
OPINION
Michael Penix Jr. was the right decision for the Hoosiers as quarterback Jack Grossman is a senior in sports media.
In what was perhaps the most important decision of Tom Allen’s three-year tenure as the IU head football coach, redshirt freshman Michael Penix Jr. was named the starting quarterback for the Hoosiers on Monday afternoon. Penix fits new offensive coordinator Kalen DeBoer’s scheme better than junior Peyton Ramsey and freshman Jack Tuttle because he places a large emphasis on explosive and dynamic plays. With a stronger arm, Penix is more fit to take shots down the field to one of the many members of IU’s talented receiving corps. Penix is also more mobile than Tuttle, who is known to be more of a traditional pocket passer. With a cannon of an arm to go along with a strong running option, Penix is the type of dual threat quarterback that has flourished in modern day college football, as well as the type of signal caller that excels in DeBoer’s offense. “If you just talk about him at that position with his arm talent and his legs, you know,” Allen said. “Those are two pretty obvious things that can create that [explosive plays].” While choosing the returning starter Ramsey would have been the safe decision, Penix provides a higher ceiling for the Hoosiers as quarterback. He also gives IU a better chance to win games against the multiple ranked teams in the Big Ten. Even though Ramsey has thrown for over 4,100 yards in his first two years in Bloomington, he has always struggled against strong competition. Since taking the starting job midway through his freshman season at IU, Ramsey has started 10 games against unranked teams and six contests versus top 25 foes. Against teams that were unranked, Ramsey threw for 245 yards per game with 17 touchdowns, 1.7 per game and an average passer rating of 138.2. Against ranked foes, those numbers dropped to 194 yards per game with seven touchdowns,
1.16 per game and an average passer rating of 111.3. With Ramsey under center, IU went 0-6 against ranked teams. While it is completely unfair to pin the losses on one player, too often would the Hoosier defense keep IU in the ballgame against a top team. Then, IU would fail to see the lack of dynamic plays from anyone other than sophomore running back Stevie Scott which would see an upset bid fall short. Eventually the opposing offense wears down the Hoosiers’ defense and either comes back to take the lead and breaks the game open late.
“If you just talk about him at that position with his arm talent and his legs, you know. Those are two pretty obvious things that can create that.” Tom Allen, coach
There are exemptions to the trend, Ramsey’s 322 passing yards, three touchdown performance at Ohio State last season comes to mind, but other than a few isolated moments, Ramsey just is not dynamic enough to win games against the best in the Big Ten. Yes, the jury is still out on Penix. But his pure talent and explosive style offers the higher ceiling that is needed to have a chance to not only beat at least one of the five preseason top 25 teams on IU’s schedule, but to get the Hoosiers to a bowl game for the first time since 2016. “To me it’s not about throwing the ball 60 yards down field,” Allen said. “It’s the placement of the football to create the space for an underneath route that creates the separation by ball placement and velocity to be able to get him in position to take it and run with it after he catches it. And that to me are the variables that he brings to the table.” jegrossm@iu.edu @JackGrossman97

IU volleyball head coach Steve Aird instructs the team Sept. 21, 2018, at the game against Northwestern University at University Gym. With year two of his coaching tenure about to begin, Aird said he is happy with the direction his program is headed.
Steve Aird is to begin 2nd year By Luke Lusson llusson@iu.edu | @LukeLusson
As IU volleyball head coach Steve Aird enters his second year at the helm, he has related his experiences to those of head men’s basketball coach Archie Miller, who just finished up his second year at IU. Aird mentioned how he watched Miller’s press conference a year ago but now he knows how he feels. “He said it was great to kind of know what’s going on, where to go and have his feet underneath him,” Aird said. “At the time I was insanely jealous because I felt like I was in a tornado of things going on. Now my kids are in school and we found a place to live. The staff and I have had a year under our belt. It feels like home.” With year two about to begin, Aird is happy with the direction his program is
headed, knowing that there is still plenty of room to improve. “I think we crossed off a lot of the big rocks in the first 16 months,” Aird said. “We’re in a position now where I feel pretty good about where we’re at. I think we’re a little ahead of where I thought we’d be in year two.” While Aird and his entire staff will be the same as last season, the IU roster brings with it a lot of new faces. Nine new players will join the team along with nine returning players from last year’s team, which finished 16-15 overall and 7-13 in conference. The 16 wins were four better than the 2017 win total. Among the returning players is fifth-year senior Kendall Beerman, an outside hitter whose 2018 season was cut short due to an ACL tear. An official timetable for Beerman’s return has
not yet been decided. “She says she feels great,” Aird said. “She’s been participating in camp. It’s just one of those things that you don’t want to rush.”
“We’re in a position now where I feel pretty good about where we’re at.” Steve Aird, head coach
As for the newcomers, Aird pointed out freshmen Emily Fitzner and Haley Armstrong as two players ready to play for his team. Fitzner, a setter from San Diego, was committed to the University of Southern California until a coaching change switched her mind. As for Armstrong, she’ll look to help IU as a defensive specialist. “Those are two freshmen kids with elite skill sets that are going to play a lot,” Aird

said. 2019 will mark the first full IU volleyball season to be played in Wilkinson Hall, which opened in January. The new 3,000-seat facility will also play host to IU’s wrestling program. Aird certainly believes the new building has and will continue to have an enormous influence on the IU program. “I think the first thing you notice when you come into this building is that it’s impressive,” Aird said. “It’s got Olympic-style courts. The lighting is great. As a student-athlete you get excited every day to come to the building.” IU’s season kicks off Aug. 30, where the team will play a double header against Florida International University and the University of Tennessee Martin. Both games will take place at Wilkinson Hall.
With the first win of the Erwin van Bennekom era in the books, the women’s soccer team now sets its sights on Friday’s matchup with the Murray State University Racers. Both teams sit at 1-1-0 on the season, but for the Hoosiers, “winning ugly,” as van Bennekom described Sunday’s game against the University of Illinois-Chicago, will not be an option if this team hopes to pick up its second straight win. While IU prepares itself for Friday’s game, a 4 p.m. eastern start from Murray State, here are three key factors to know about the Racers. Class of their conference Murray State finished last season with a record of 13-5-1 and, 7-3-0 in conference, winning their conference tournament and garnering an NCAA Tournament bid. The fact that the Racers attained that much success in head coach Matt Lodge’s first year on the job makes Murray State’s consistent success stand out even more. The Ohio Valley Conference’s preseason poll predicted the Racers would win the conference for a fifth straight year, and Murray State will look to build on another winning season to grab a third straight NCAA Tournament berth. Watch out for the Wat-Shot IU men’s basketball fans are familiar with the legendary Christian Watford buzzer-beater to defeat the University of Kentucky back
in 2011. However, IU will need to be wary of a different Watford on Friday. Murray State senior forward Miyah Watford is the key cog in the Racers offense with three goals in just two games. She was named to the OVC Preseason Player to Watch list after a dominant junior campaign in which she led the team with 10 goals and led the entire conference in shots with 84. Her 10 goals were also tied for second in the conference, and her performance overall was enough to land her a spot on the 2018 All-OVC First Team. High-octane offense Although it shouldn’t be all that surprising given Watford’s accolades, Murray State plays an offensiveminded game. In each of the team’s first two contests, it cracked double digit shots and had five goals on 13 shots on goal. Before assuming the head coaching role, Lodge was an assistant for four years with the Racers. According to the team’s website, he’s been crucial in the development of their offense, creating a scheme that over his four years as an assistant averaged about 1.58 goals per game. However, in each of their first two games the Racers have allowed 22 shots. While the team was able to pitch a shutout against Samford University on Sunday, it coughed up a 3-1 lead in their season opener and lost in double overtime to Xavier University 4-3. That little discrepancy could open the door for an IU upset, but for now all the Hoosiers can do is wait for Friday.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 having ties to white nationalism. “We sort of see ourselves as a response team for hate,” Bauder said. Bloomington United is about 20 years old, but the group had a large period of inactivity until a couple years ago. Now they are trying to address the increased number of hate incidents that seem to be occurring. “We all sort of thought things were OK, which they never are,” Bauder said. IU senior Ashlynn Patterson was at the rally with classmates as part of a field trip on the first day of an organizational theory class. Patterson said she is aware of some of the growing tension in Bloomington, especially because of the KKK fliers distributed in the city and how they have put her and other members of IU’s small black community on alert. “Black IU is small, and anytime anyone sees something, we all send it around to each other,” Patterson said. She said people were reminding one another not to be out too late and to stay in groups because of the flyers. Before being sent with her class, Patterson said she hadn’t heard about the rally.

She didn’t know what kind of difference it would make because most people who were there likely already supported the cause, and those who might be ignorant about the issues probably weren’t there. “If people are angry, they’re always going to be angry,” Patterson said. After the rally, Majercak returned and approached Silberberg about her speech. He told Silberberg he didn’t like what she said and viewed it as anti-Trump rhetoric. Additionally, he told Silberberg that she is not Jewish. Someone who is Jewish, he later told the IDS, wouldn’t be comparing Hitler killing millions of people to anything Trump has done. Although she mentioned the current political climate in her speech, Silberberg said she didn’t mention Trump in her speech but still thought Majercak had a right to his opinion. She also confirmed to the IDS that she is Jewish. While Silberberg said she believes everyone has the right to free speech, she said it is important to speak against hateful ideas and the anger from Majercak and others. “People like that make our responsibility to stand up for what we believe even more important,” Silberberg said.
