Residents of Foster Quad’s Harper Wing’s floor seven open their bids at Sorority Bid Night on Tuesday in the IU Tennis Center.

The bid reveal

After weeks of recruitment, women receive bids from sororities

Jennifer Vukas survived weeks of running up and down Third Street and Jordan Avenue in the cold to get to this night.

She shook anxiously as she held her envelope, which contained her future. A 10-second countdown began, and Vukas screamed. At the end, she ripped open the envelope and, like everyone around her, was lost to the chaos of the crowd. She hoped for her first choice, Alpha Phi. “It was like a scene from a movie,” Vukas said.

This was bid night Tuesday at IU. Hundreds of sorority hopefuls packed into the Tennis Center and awaited invitations from the chapters that would become their homes. The Panhellenic Association planned and organized the event. Some of the thousands of women who rushed received bids to chapters. The lucky ones got the chapter of their dreams. For everyone, the evening was emotional, and for Vukas, it was a defining moment of her college career.

About 7:30 p.m., an hour before the countdown and when Vukas opened her envelope, sorority members had already marked and separated their sections of the tennis courts. Organizers from IU’s

Panhellenic Association scrambled to make last-minute changes.

Questions and comments were thrown left and right as women continuously piled into the Tennis Center. As women entered, the distinction between hopefuls and greeks was unclear at times, but it just required a closer look. Greeks entered the building looking ahead to find their sisters at their own paces. Rushees entered in packs, moving at the same speed with hesitation. Vukas said they weren’t confident about where they belonged, so they moved in unison.

Panhellenic got things going moments later by blaring “Closer” by the Chainsmokers, a familiar anthem for IU tailgates and parties.

Panhellenic members jumped, sang and clapped to elevate the seemingly infinite energy of the room.

By 7:45 p.m. women had piled in by the dozens. The yelling increased, the temperature grew hot, and eventually the surfaces of the tennis courts disappeared beneath the crowd.

One potential new member, freshman Nora Pearson, danced around as she awaited the news of her bid.

“Rush has been a long process, but I think it’s worth it in the end,” Pearson said.

“It’s exhilarating.”

Pearson had a cluster of friends and peers around her who were equally excited. Krijn Schwartz jumped up and down while her eyes rapidly sought to observe everything around her.

“It has been really exhausting these past two weeks, and it has been the only thing I can think about,” she said over the blaring speakers. “It has been awesome!”

Cameras flashed and selfies were taken as women posed in front of the silver balloons that read “Bid Night.”

Around 8 p.m. senior Paige Dausinas, Panhellenic’s recruitment organizer, spoke from the disc jockey’s booth.

“Hello, ladies,” Dausinas said. “Welcome to bid night! Who’s excited to find what chapter they’re going to?”

Everyone was seated except for some women wearing matching blue hoodies.

They were gathered just below the disc jockey’s booth. These are the Rho Gammas. Rho Gammas are disaffiliated women from each chapter who helped hopefuls through the process. Rho Gammas did not reveal what house they belong to until Dausinas called them up to collect their envelopes of bids.

First up was Alpha Chi Omega. The Rho Gammas were huddled together and

The last four meetings between IU men’s basketball and Penn State were decided by five points or less.

On Wednesday night in State College, Pennsylvania, it was no different.

It didn’t look like the contest would come down to the wire with IU up 13 points with five minutes to play in the game, but a Hoosier meltdown including three turnovers in the final minute and nine seconds allowed the Nittany Lions to tie the game at 75 with four seconds to play.

Junior guard James Blackmon Jr. took the inbounds pass at the Hoosiers’ free throw line, slipped past his defender, raced down the sideline to right wing, spotted up from beyond the arc with a defender in his face and nailed the game-winning bucket at the buzzer. IU survived at Penn State, 78-75, improving to 3-3 in conference play and 13-6 overall.

While many will be anticipating the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump on Friday, businesses and protest organizers in Bloomington are aiming to make the historic day one of resistance.

Inaugurate the Revolution is a city-wide event bringing in workshops, teach-ins, discussions and projects.

Many events, such as letterwriting for prisoners, discussions on support for indigenous people after Standing Rock, and lectures on public schools and conditional inclusion, are free and open to the public.

Most deadlines to register for workshops — on topics such as feminist activism, refugee crises, media literacy and climate change — have passed, though a few are still open.

Look at the entire list of event descriptions at https://www.inauguratetherevolution.com/workshops.

Events will last between one and two hours, though some may be extended.

Organizations present at the event include the IU Black Student Union, National Lawyers Guild, College Democrats at IU, Prism Youth Community, Bloomington Food Policy Council and the Bloomington Green Party.

Bloomington Solidarity Network, a volunteer network to support tenants and employees, has planned to lead a march at 12 p.m. from the Monroe County Public Library to the office of an unnamed landlord to demand compensation.

Businesses involved include Boxcar Books and the Back Door.

The event will wrap up with a march at 5:15 p.m. through downtown Bloomington and a rally with performances and speeches from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater. Both are free and open to the public.

Stanley Njuguna, sophomore and event organizer, said he came up with the idea after the election and sought to be different from other local protests.

“It was initiated by the idea that I had to do something on Inauguration Day beyond the typical protests I kept seeing in Bloomington,”

Blackmon’s basket lifts IU against Penn State “That wasn’t the Watford shot, but it was the same play run on a different side,” IU Coach Tom Crean said on the IU basketball postgame radio show with Don Fischer. “Literally, Thomas Bryant did the Cody (Zeller) screen, and James just came down that side of the floor, and what I told James after the game is that his footwork was perfect, his dribbles were perfect, the follow through was perfect and he stayed in his shot.”

The game was closely contested to start, with each team leading for nine minutes and change in the first half. IU started to pull away in the final five minutes of the first half and led by seven at the break, but the Hoosiers lost an important piece of their team with fewer than 10 seconds remaining before halftime.

Sophomore forward OG Anunoby buckled his right knee on a non-contact injury underneath the basket moments before halftime. Anunoby remained on the floor in serious pain while both teams headed the locker room.

Eventually, the sophomore from Jefferson City, Missouri, was helped off the floor by fellow sophomore forward Juwan Morgan, who was out with a foot

A woman who reported being sexually assaulted by a friend doesn’t want to press charges, police said Wednesday. She wants an apology.

Police responded at about 2:50 a.m. Tuesday to the 700 block of North Walnut Street, where a 21-year-old woman told them she’d been fondled by a 25-year-old male friend, Bloomington Police Department Detective Sgt. Dana Cole said.

The woman told police she and the man had been out for dinner and drinks and returned to her apartment for more drinks. At some point she felt unwell and went to her room to lay down. He followed her in, laid down next to her and began touching her.

When she confronted him, he left, Cole said. When police interviewed the man, he denied touching the woman. She told police she doesn’t want the man to face charges, but she does want him to apologize to her.

IU legal services discuss First Amendment

By Cody Thompson Comthomp@umail.iu,edu @CodyMThompson

On a crooked projection screen inside the Asian Culture Center on Wednesday, students viewed a presentation on First Amendment rights.

The presentation, given

by Stacee Williams, director of Student Legal Services at IU, took place at noon.

It outlined details of the First Amendment and certain restrictions the government can place on individual freedoms.

“Part of our mission is education, and part of that is giving information to students so they can make better decisions moving forward,” Williams said.

The first guest arrived at 11:56 a.m. By the time the event started — a few minutes after noon — there were three total guests.

Two of them were part of the Asian Culture Center.

The first guest outside the center to arrive was Neil Klein, a tutor at IU. He heard about the event in a newsletter.

“I thought it was an interesting event in light of everything going on right now,” Klein said.

Williams began by introducing herself while Klein

and the other guests sat and ate food provided by Jimmy John’s and Turkuaz Café.

She told them she was excited about this presentation because it was new for her.

She launched into her presentation with a quiz.

It asked how many freedoms were protected by the First Amendment.

The small crowd murmured and reached a quiet consensus of the answer five. Williams informed them they were correct.

The first freedom Williams discussed in her presentation was of religion.

She included complex cases of school-sponsored prayer and other blurry areas of religious freedom.

“There’s a lot of gray area and variation in our constitutional protections depending on your situation,” Williams said.

The guests grew to six after the event had started. The crowd was mostly quiet.

Klein answered most of the questions on the quizzes Williams had spread periodically through her presentation.

Williams, using a joke, explained how the courts consider more than vocal statements to be speech.

“I could get up and do an interpretive dance right now,” she said. “That may be

offensive to your aesthetic sensibility, but it is protected under the First Amendment.”

After her lecture on First Amendment protections nationally guaranteed, Williams explained some of IU’s specific policies on assembly.

She informed the students that as long as their protests are peaceful and don’t interrupt school function they are free to assemble.

She gave those in attendance a pamphlet noting IU’s policies on free speech,

demonstrations and political campaigns.

She opened the last few minutes up to questions and answers, where she received some questions like what is considered disturbing school functions.

During her presentation,

when explaining how courts come to their conclusions, she told her guests about the complicated process, about what they have to weigh and individual rights against government interest.

“Courts do a balancing act,” she said.

Group speaks out against sexual assault Trans activist calls for unity in a divided climate

By Larmie Sanyon

lsanyon@indiana.edu | @LarmieSanyon

The journey to becoming one of two directors for Men Against Rape or Sexual assault started with a realization for Will McElhaney.

It was a realization that came after a close friend revealed she had been recently sexually assaulted.

McElhaney listened to her story, internalized the message and went to talk to the president of his chapter, Kappa Delta Rho, about what he could do.

MARS provides sexual assault prevention training and discussion sessions to fraternities and their members.

The goal is to have a civil and educational discussion session where greek men can talk about the misconceptions, questions or general concerns they have about sexual assault prevention.

McElhaney said he was enticed by the comprehensive MARS program and how it opened his eyes to the magnitude of the problem.

“I met the organizers,

had an interview and got involved,” he said.

McElhaney, a freshman at the time, said it took him a few days to apply at MARS after meeting its members. It would be another two weeks until he would get the job.

After being behind the scenes for a couple of years, McElhaney and his codirector will have the ability to put forward their goals.

McElhaney said he intends to continue the fight against sexual assault.

“I want to keep letting people know the options, like consent, and spread awareness about how to go forward filing a complaint,” he said.

MARS emphasizes preventing sexual violence rather than reactionary solutions.

That is why MARS mandated each chapter send 15 percent of its incoming pledge class to a training session starting fall 2016.

McElhaney said the intention of the mandate is the few members attending will learn a lot and take the

lessons back to their respective chapters. The lessons primarily focus on bystander recognition and prevention.

“If you have people in bystander prevention at your event they can identify risky situations,” McElhaney said.

“It keeps people safe.”

IU’s Interfraternity Council is on board with the mandate.

Jack Polte, the vice president of IFC’s Board of Standards, said he fully supports MARS. “To us MARS is a valuable resource to the greek community and the education of young men around the matters of sexual violence,” Polte said.

McElhaney and Polte sought to emphasize that sexual assault doesn’t benefit anyone and therefore, needs to be tackled head on.

“The concerns of sexual assault are a national issue and our campus is fortunate enough to have a program like MARS and dedicated professionals to continue the education of young men on ways to combat sexual

violence,” Polte said.

McElhaney said IU could do more to prevent cases of sexual assault, but he did point out that IU’s greek community has fewer sexual assaults than the national average.

However, he said simply being below average is not good enough because there are still dozens of cases every semester at IU. McElhaney said MARS aims to let people know that they’re not alone.

However, he did address the issue of growing rates of reported sexual assaults on campus, and nationwide. He said each community has its own reasons but there is a growing trend.

“A lot of people don’t know that the amount disclosing is actually going up,” McElhaney said.

He agreed with Polte about the efficacy of conversations taking place at organizations like MARS. He said the work it continues to do helps prevent sexual violence in the greek community.

College Democrats plan for spring

By Joy Burton joyburt@umail.iu.edu | @joybur10

Gender equality, climate change, refugees and antiMuslim bigotry were only a few of the many topics discussed at the IU College Democrat call-out meeting.

The responses and topics sped onto the monitor as President Terry Tossman and Vice President Javier Fuentes-Rohwer questioned students on which issues the IU College Democrats should focus on this semester.

Tossman said he felt the meeting was a very good sign of things to come especially with the encouraging turnout in mind.

“It’s great to see everyone changing all the depression of last year’s loss to passion and desire to do more,” Tossman said.

The meeting occurred Wednesday. It was short, came with free pizza and had more people in attendance than there were chairs. Tossman and Fuentes-Rohwer spoke to the future members about the IU Democrats’ values and goals.

They also introduced the club officers, who spoke about their plans for spring.

One of Tossman’s goals is to get more people in the College Democrats no matter their political backgrounds.

He said the IU Democrats work to make civil participation less daunting.

Brooke O’Connor, director of outreach for IU College Democrats, encourages student leaders to collaborate during the IU College Democrats’ callout meeting Wednesday evening in the Psychology Building. College Democrats aimed to encourage college students to engage politically.

Samantha Ainsworth, a first-year graduate student, attended for the first time.

She said that it was well put together and organized and had speakers with a lot of great things to say. She said she plans to come back.

“I was definitely impressed, especially for a college group, it was really wellorganized. It seems more like a professional organization,” Ainsworth said.

One of the event’s speakers was Paige Settles, the political affairs director of the IU College Democrats. She said watching responses on what students want for this semester was particularly informative and exciting to her. She also said the group is fun-loving and referred to the moment when Fuentes-

Rohwer discussed one member’s silly yet witty tweet that mentioned Chipotle and Democratic beliefs.

“Being able to joke and use humor as a coping mechanism is a big thing that we all tend to share. I think this group is not just something we work hard at but also an outlet for a lot of people,” Settles said Besides the jokes, the speakers mentioned some events that took place last fall and what they plan for this semester. A big focus right now is on contacting government officials about current issues. The students began encouraging government action even at the callout meeting, passing around a petition to save President Obama’s health care law.

Although lobbying and directly contacting officials is important, the goal to reach out to the Bloomington and IU community is just as big of deal. They will continue to encourage involvement from students and work with other organizations, including IU Republicans, freshman Reagan Davis said. The group laughed throughout the meeting.

While humor is the group’s coping mechanism, last semester’s election loss is this semester’s motivation and encouragement.

Perhaps this is why FuentesRohwer and Tossman ended their presentation with the Hillary Clinton quote, “Every moment wasted looking back keeps us from moving forward.”

The arrival of Kate Bornstein to campus had been advertised with levity. A photo of Bornstein on the Facebook event page for her “A Queer and Pleasant Danger” lecture showed her smiling largely with her head thrown back like the photographer had caught her mid laugh.

However, the atmosphere at Whittenberger Auditorium on Wednesday night was sober.

Bornstein, a long-time transgender activist and author had come to IU to talk about various theories, including those of gender and sexuality, and how studying and awareness of them could lead to more peace.

“I would hope tonight will help you through the hard times coming,” Bornstein said. “Changing of the guard on any level is difficult.”

Bornstein was referring to the incoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence, but she refrained from saying the names out loud. When talking about Trump, she called him “he who must not be named,” and the audience laughed and nodded knowingly.

Otherwise, there was silence.

The themes Bornstein explored in her lecture were themes she has been studying for years, but the tone was urgent.

She praised democracy as a system of government in its original form, which she said allowed for many voices to be in charge of determining who has access to what resources in society. However, she said modern democracy in the United States in particular has become problematic.

“Democracy has seen better days,” Bornstein said.

Now the president-elect has caused such a large divide between people that she is unable to identify it with specific terms, she said.

“It’s not Republican versus Democrat,” Bornstein said. “It’s left versus right. We know that much.”

The divide comes from forms of societal oppression, such as gender, race, class and ability, which were among 15 causes of oppression that Bornstein included in her PowerPoint. Together the “vectors of oppression” create a hierarchy, she said.

“There’s nothing wrong with hierarchy as a tool,” Bornstein said. “But as soon as we say, ‘This person is the best at everything and has all the power,’ we’re fucked.”

The hierarchies present in modern society have divided people even among groups that were previously more unified, Bornstein said. She said she has seen in-fighting among members of LGBT groups and called it unnecessary.

“We cannot afford to do this anymore,” Bornstein said.

Faye Glessier, an associate art professor at IU, said she had come to Bornstein’s lecture for inspiration.

“Now is a good time to be around people who are inspiring,” Glessier said.

Bornstein said a new generation of activists sat before her in the auditorium. She said she hoped those who pursued activism and societal change would pursue activism that included everyone and used coalitions unified against oppression in all forms.

“That’s hopefully your generation’s work in the face of the changing of the guard,” Bornstein said.

Jews see Judaism as heritage, study says

By Christine Fernando ctfernan@indiana.edu | @christinetfern

For the first 15 years of his life, Ethan Brown kept kosher.

He refrained from eating meat with dairy and only ate meat killed in accordance with Jewish law. He even kept from using electronics during Shabbat from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday.

However, during his freshman year of high school, Brown, now an IU junior, realized he did not believe in a monotheistic god.

“My parents really wanted me to stay keeping kosher, but as my own beliefs evolved, it really didn’t make sense to me anymore,” Brown said.

Despite his lack of religious conviction, Brown said he still identifies as Jewish.

However, a non-religious Jew may not be as much of an oxymoron as one might think. In fact, according to a 2014 Pew Research Center study, two thirds of the United States Jewish population say a person can be Jewish without believing in God. Likewise, 60 percent see Judaism as mostly matter of culture and ancestry, and only 15 percent see it mainly as a matter of religion.

To Sue Silberberg, rabbi and director of IU Hillel, Judaism is a combination of culture, ancestry and religion that culminates in a way of life.

“Judaism has never really

been just a religion,” she said.

“In history people would live in context with the Jewish community, and they would live and practice together in this whole comprehensive way of living life.”

Instead of culture and ancestry, Silberberg said it is a set of shared values that takes precedence in her personal connection with Judaism.

These values are rooted in tzedakah — the Hebrew word for righteousness and justice.

This concept involves valuing efforts to make the world a more fair and just place.

“We do have fundamental beliefs, but it’s probably even more so about your values and how you life your life,” she said. “If you honor the sanctity of life and serve others, you will get a lot out of Judaism regardless of how deeply religious you are.”

On the other hand, while Jewish IU graduate student Yael Litwin said these facets of Judaism are indeed interwoven, she said she sees Judaism as a relationship with God. “Everything we do is for God, for his plan for the world and creation,” Litwin said.

“There’s always a purpose to bring godliness down to the world and the physical realm.”

However, Brown, like many other American Jews, sees Judaism as a culture rooted in shared traditions and values rather than a connection to God.

As a result, Brown said he recognizes that there is a trend in Jews relating to Judaism in less and less of a religious way.

“In America I think a lot of Jews, especially younger ones, tend to be less religious but still very culturally Jewish,” he said. “They still form that Jewish community that’s a really big thing in Judaism.”

While Litwin said she agrees Jews can identify as Jewish regardless of religious conviction, she said culture is not a shared experience among Jews. Instead Litwin defines Judaism as much broader than a specific culture.

“A Jew from Yemen is going to eat very different things from a Jew from Poland or Brazil,” she said. “It’s something that’s happened in America, where we view Judaism as a culture because a lot of Jews came from Europe.

Judaism is rooted in religious text, ancestry and values, but culture is something more specific to where the Jew came from.”

Like Litwin, Silberberg also said once you are Jewish, you will always be Jewish if you choose to identify as such. She said this also applies to Jews without religious convictions.

“Traditionally if you’re born of a Jewish mother or convert to Judaism, you are Jewish no matter what,”

MARLIE BURNS |IDS

she said. “You don’t just get kicked out. Judaism doesn’t say you must believe in XYZ, which is why some people see it as a heritage, although we do have many religious principles as well.”

Despite this inclusion of non-religious Jews, Litwin said the trend toward reduced religious connections may be rooted in a history of oppression that keeps Jews from fully immersing themselves in every aspect of Judaism.

“A lot of years of oppression make people want to stay

away from what got them oppressed,” Litwin said. “They say family trauma is in your DNA, and we’ve had thousands of years of trauma and exile. It can be off-putting.”

Brown, however, said the trend may be due to the Jewish value of allowing exploration and openness to contrasting perspectives.

“No one is telling me that I shouldn’t read the Quran or the New Testament,” he said. “No one is saying you shouldn’t explore other ways of thinking. I think because

of that a lot of Jews feel more comfortable developing their own religious views that may be separate from Judaism.”

Silberberg said regardless of why students may or may not connect with Judaism on a religious level, it is important to accept them.

“We honor students for who they are,” Silberberg said.

“We don’t make it our goal to make someone start practicing this or believe that. We really just want people to explore and interact with their Judaism.”

Prosecutor reprimanded Columbus North band to join inauguration parade for conflict of interest

By Taylor Telford ttelford@indiana.edu | @ttelford1883

A prosecutor who pursued a book deal about one of his cases before the case closed won’t be suspended but was publicly reprimanded last week by the Indiana Supreme Court.

Keith A. Henderson, the elected prosecutor in Floyd County, Indiana, is the Indiana representative for the National District Attorneys Association and the chairman of the ethics committee for the Indiana Prosecuting Attorneys Council.

The Indiana Supreme Court determined the book deal he pursued was an ethical conflict of interest with the unfinished case.

The case concerned David Camm, a former police officer who was charged with murdering his wife and two children. Camm was convicted twice, but his convictions were reversed on appeal. He was acquitted in 2013.

The case dragged on in Indiana courts for 13 years and received national attention. It got frequent play in newspapers and on cable news and was even the subject of an episode, titled “Murder on Lockhart Road,” on CBS’ “48 Hours.” Henderson prosecuted Camm’s second trial and, according to Indiana Supreme Court documents, entered into an agreement with a literary agent to write a book about the case just days after a jury found Camm guilty for the second time.

Henderson continued

to work the case as it trickled into post-trial proceedings and then signed an agreement with a publisher.

Shortly after the Indiana Supreme Court overturned the conviction of the second trial and remanded for a third trial, Henderson wrote his literary agent asking for a “pushed back timeframe” and for the agent to “push for something more out of the contract,” according to Indiana Supreme Court documents.

“This is now a bigger story,” he wrote.

Rather than expand the contract, the publisher terminated it.

When Henderson refiled murder charges against Camm for the third trial in December 2009, Camm requested a special prosecutor to replace Henderson. The court denied his request.

Camm appealed the decision, and Henderson was removed from the case in 2011.

Henderson did not respond to a request for comment.

After he was acquitted, Camm filed a $30 million lawsuit against Floyd County that alleged malicious prosecution. Henderson was named in the suit, which was settled in August 2016, and the state awarded $450,000 to Camm.

There are explicit rules about professional conduct with book deals for legal counsel, said professor Charles Geyh, who teaches judicial conduct and ethics in the Maurer School of Law. Lawyers are allowed to

pursue book deals about their cases — and it’s not uncommon to do so — but the rules dictate they should wait until after the case is completely finished.

“You want to represent your client to the best of your ability without being compromised by your own interests, and in the case of a prosecutor, the client is the public,” Geyh said.

Once there’s a book deal on the table, the lawyer could make decisions that lead to a better book rather than swifter or truer justice.

“The worry is you’ll be more motivated by the theatrics that sell books than what best serves the case, which in some cases may be dull or dreary things,” Geyh said.

In a written public order, the Indiana Supreme Court found Henderson’s behavior with the book deal “adversely affected the administration of justice” in Camm’s case.

Although the disciplinary commission had recommended Henderson be suspended, the Indiana Supreme Court ordered a public reprimand.

Although the Indiana Supreme Court chose a less severe punishment, Geyh said the reprimand will be “a black mark” on Henderson’s record that could cost him in the future.

It may have done so already — Henderson lost a race for a judge’s seat in Floyd County Circuit Court in November after the disciplinary commission recommended his suspension.

One day remains before Columbus North High School’s marching band makes its way down Pennsylvania Avenue in the inauguration parade for Presidentelect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence.

The high school, Pence’s alma mater, was asked to march in the Jan. 20 inauguration parade in late December. Director of bands William Stultz and State Rep. Milo Smith, R-Columbus, were two key players in getting the band to the parade.

Smith said he and Stultz were acquainted through a local church. Stultz asked Smith, who knows Pence, if he would consider asking the vice president-elect if the band could join the inauguration parade. Smith said he agreed and used an opportunity at Camp Atterbury, Indiana, to speak with Pence about the band.

“Mike just lit up from ear to ear,” Smith said. “He said, ‘That would be great. Make it happen.’”

Smith said he then realized significant fundraising would be necessary to get the band to the capital because the trip costs $625 per student and per chaperone.

“I hate raising money,” Smith said. “I just don’t like doing that at all.”

But when he knew he would need to cover $125,000 to pay for about 200 band members and staff, he went to work. Two weeks after he began fundraising in December, Smith said he had $110,000 pledged from donors.

The band had less than a month to prepare for the march. Stultz, who has been a band director with the school for 26 years, said the lack of time wasn’t a worry for the band members.

The band’s reputation for excellence has resulted in invitations to march at

prestigious events such as the Rose Bowl parades in the past, Stultz said, so most students were already prepared to be in the spotlight.

The invitation to the inauguration was the most prestigious invitation the program has ever received and the decision to join the parade was apolitical, he said.

“We’re not looking at it as supporting any candidate,” Stultz said. “We’re looking at it as a historical chance.”

Smith said the band has since been invited by an inauguration committee to play Jan. 18 and CNN and Fox News will be recording footage.

“Now I have to go raise an additional $17,000 dollars today,” Smith said.

The band left Jan. 18 and will return on Jan. 22.

Songs the band will play as it marches in the parade include “America the Beautiful,” “Battle Hymn of the Republic” and a drumline cadence.

Stop stigmatizing mental illnesses Critics and horror buffs are buzzing in anticipation for the new psychological horror film “Split.”

The movie features a villain suffering from dissociative identity disorder with 23 different personalities. In short the message rings loud and clear: Mentally ill people are scary.

A movie we all know and love, “Fight Club”, also features a main character suffering from dissociative identity disorder.

This movie differs from “Split” because it presents its protagonist as a cool guy, hardened by his illness in an artistic and romantic light: Mental illnesses are cool. To be fair, these messages probably were not the intention of the creators of either film, and my critique on their portrayals are in no means critiques of the films.

The characters’ mental illnesses are used as plot devices in their own rights, which I believe is important. Mental illnesses are prevalent, important and honestly interesting, but even though it was not intentional, these messages behind using mental illness as plot ring loud and clear.

Mental illnesses are stigmatized in both negative and romantic ways, which are both harmful.

Obviously, this doesn’t just include dissociative identity disorder. It happens with all kinds of different mental illnesses, finding their ways into many media tropes.

How many books, movies and shows have you seen with the romantic, brooding protagonist suffering from depression?

How many horror movies feature the crazy victim dealing with psychosis?

The media is sending two very clear and very harmful messages.

Either mental illnesses are cool and everyone should want one or they are horrible and everyone who has them is scary and dangerous. Both of these ideas are equally harmful.

According to statistics from the World Health Organization, one in four

EMMA GETZ is a freshman in history.

individuals in the world suffer from mental health illnesses.

The general population should view mental illnesses as exactly what they are, conditions that one in four people on Earth have and deal with every single day.

They should not be romanticized or demonized because they can have horrible effects on people’s lives, but this says nothing about them as a person.

They are suffering from something they cannot control. Stigmatization in the media comes down to something very simple.

There needs to be more public discussion about mental illness. People suffering from mental illnesses are taught to keep it to themselves or perhaps only discuss it with medical professionals.

Due to the general silence and taboo regarding mental illness many people are never even diagnosed because they don’t know to seek help in the first place.

Something that affects a quarter of the world’s population should surely be something we can discuss honestly and openly. I would like to see a character in media presented as someone with mental illness and simply living their life with no demonization or romanticization.

It doesn’t have to be the focal point of the character because someone’s illness does not define them.

I disagree with many others that critique the use of mental illness as plot device outright.

I think it can be very interesting and insightful if done well.

For accurate portrayals of those suffering we need to take the leap and start conversations about the mental illnesses facing so many of us, so let’s talk about it. Silence is the worst option for everyone involved. emmagetz@umail.iu.edu @emmaagetz

New tech for nursing homes Artificial intelligence shows promise for those in assisted living Grandma and grandpa are finally gaining knowledge about technology, but it’s not in the situation you would probably prefer.

Let’s face it: visiting family members and loved ones who are living in nursing homes or assisted living communities can sometimes be unpleasant.

Because of this, the elderly are becoming more lonely and depressed than ever before. We have all seen the heartbreaking stories on the news about elderly people that are forgotten or ignored by their family members. Finally, technology is attempting to alleviate the issue.

To remedy this loneliness, an artificial intelligence called Elli.Q has been created to keep the elderly company when we don’t go visit him.

The system will play games with them, remind them to take their pills

and generate made-up conversation to exchange with them.

This AI could teach the elderly how to operate more complex operating systems such as a smart phone or a high-functioning computer.

After gaining technology skills, the elderly could learn how to communicate online with real people and no longer feel lonely.

While this is innovative and a great idea in thought, it is also really sad.

It says something that about us, however, that someone felt the need to create a technology to keep our loved ones from becoming too lonely in nursing homes.

A potential downfall of this is the elderly may become too frustrated while trying to operate the AI that they will feel discouraged and will no longer want to try.

However, if it were to succeed and they did be-

come interested in technology, maybe they would stop picking on us for being so involved with technology and our electronic devices.

This could also be better implemented at assisted living homes because these members are more independent and capable of using the AI more effectively.

A trial phrase will launch in San Francisco in February this year.

In other places in the world this AI for the elderly program has been tried.

However, these programs are in response to the staff not having enough time to care for all the residents.

Japan has created a robotic seal that helps the elderly wash their dishes and keeps them company.

Many people believe this will create a false sense of dependency for the elderly, and others think this is a cheap shot to engage older citizens with society.

MULLING IT OVER WITH MERM

COLIN’S COLUMN

No, Tomi Lahren, not all liberals are special snowflakes to be mocked Tomi Lahren is someone who spends all of her time looking for ways to make fun of a vast majority of people.

I’m talking about you, special snowflake.

That’s a term that news reporter for The Blaze— I say that loosely — Tomi Lahren uses to describe Democrats and liberals. Every time something terrible happens, she claims the liberals are being special snowflakes and are offended by the simplest things.

Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, but it’s just annoying to see someone consistently pick on a whole political party who is protesting out of pain and fear.

If anything, Lahren is getting offended by the actions and protests of the liberals more often than liberals getting offended by some asinine statement made

by President-elect Donald Trump or any of his cabinet members.

She spends so much time trying to backpedal and claim she’s not racist by

showing she’s friends with black people.

I wish I could support Lahren. Her accomplishments are incredible, and I admire how she has risen to become a popular news media host at such a young age while being a woman.

Recently, Twitter users have been digging into Lahren’s past tweets to see if she truly is the hypocrite she seems to be.

Lahren has spoke negatively of Beyonce and the praise she received from First Lady Michelle Obama. Users dug up a tweet from Lahren about going out to clubs and how she was going to “#popthatp.” Of course, this was a shock and source of critique from liberals all over Twitter.

More tweets have proclaimed her disapproval for the president-elect who she now praises on the social media site. Of course everyone has said things on social media that they aren’t proud of.

Digging up old, potentially problematic tweets is a popular and beloved past

We think it’s a pretty harmless idea that could benefit more so than harm people. The pros outweigh the cons, and what’s the worst that could happen?

Grandma becomes better at phone games than you do?

She’ll be able to tag you in embarrassing pictures on Facebook?

While the AI is certainly a positive development, the real solution is for individuals to take greater responsibility and visit their own family members more often.

After all, which will be more fulfilling, actually seeing your grandchildren or playing electronic games with an artificial intelligence?

The editorial board applauds the efforts of those that are trying to lessen people’s loneliness, but we must urge everyone to take greater care and responsibility with their family members.

time on Twitter. We’ve seen it done multiple times with Trump, and it has showcased how quick he is to change his mind.

Some people may see this as cruel and an invasion of privacy, but it’s put on the internet, where nothing is private.

Lahren spends so much time being offended by people who are offended or, dare I say it, triggered that she has no time to report on things that could make the Republican Party look more pleasant or likeable to liberals. I think both parties could take some time to try and understand the positives that come from each other.

Lahren could use her platform and following to expose people to both sides of our bipartisan government.

Not only would this help our political culture, it would make Lahren a better news anchor as well. mmgarbac@umail.iu.edu

Overreach fuels ‘alt-right’ With the results of the United States presidential election about to take effect, it can be easy to focus on the future of American politics. However, it’s not just the U.S. that’s facing significant political change.

France will have elections for president next year, and one of its candidates, Marine Le Pen, is politically similar to Donald Trump. Leading the National Front, Le Pen represents France’s nationalist movement.

And this is a movement that seems to be gaining steam. Recent polls have placed her ahead and have left many French liberals worried.

Though France is significantly more liberal than the United States, alt-right politics are still a particular source of contention. If she wins, there’s the potential for France to leave the EU and push back against refugees, alongside other policies.

These policies seem controversial, and living in a fairly liberal

college town, it can seem as though she’ll just be pushing her party’s radical agenda if she wins.

However, the fact is these “alt-right” movements are gaining steam.

It’s easy to look at Trump and see an unqualified businessman seeking the office simply for the office’s sake, but the fact is people voted for him because they’re frustrated with liberal policy. Though on campus it seems like progressive values are rosy and the ideal, in reality not everyone is happy.

This is what makes Le Pen so relevant. It’s not just Americans — across the world people are getting fed-up with progressivism.

Voters aren’t satisfied with the left, they don’t trust the right, so they’re turning to alt-right candidates to represent them.

It’s that simple.

This is bad, certainly, but the way to solve it isn’t to decry those people who support Trump or Le Pen. The way to solve this is by compromising and working with the other side.

COLIN DOMBROWSKI is a freshman in advertising.

While I don’t agree with conservatives, I understand that if you keep ramming liberal legislation down their throats, inevitably they’ll end up fighting back.

That’s what’s happened on the global stage. Liberals make progress and push back their opposition. This results in frustrated conservatives backing candidates like Trump or Le Pen, so don’t be deluded. The nationalistic “alt-right” isn’t the result of Trump’s erudite speaking.

This is a movement of people who’ve felt legitimately unheard politically and are latching onto whoever they can to get their voice through to the establishment.

We have to remember that as important as progress is, for every push we make to the left, we might make one step toward the “alt-right.” ctdombro@umail.iu.edu @doctorthaddeus

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Trio of freshmen step up as injuries mount

By Andrew Hussey aphussey@indiana.edu @thehussnetwork

Heading into the game against Penn State, IU was already missing sophomore forward Juwan Morgan, who left the previous game against Rutgers with a foot injury.

With just a few seconds left in the first half, sophomore forward OG Anunoby fell to the ground with an apparent knee injury.

The injuries piled up, but IU still notched its first road win of the season and beat Penn State, 78-75.

The Hoosiers needed three of their freshman to step up and play bigger roles Wednesday. Forward De’Ron Davis and guards Devonte Green and Curtis Jones were called upon with Morgan and Anunoby out of the game.

The freshmen’s continued development is key for the Hoosiers, and IU Coach Tom Crean praised their growth Sunday after the win against Rutgers. Crean also said they had room to grow.

In IU’s win against Penn State the freshman trio got extended minutes. The three combined for 42 minutes.

Even though IU had 17 turnovers, the trio only combined for one turnover the whole game.

“A bunch of young guys stepped up,” Crean said in the IU radio post-game show with Don Fischer. “Like I

said to Curtis, we wouldn’t have been in position to win the game earlier in the game without the way Curtis played in the game. The missed free throws are a part of the game. I wouldn’t trade putting him back up there either. At the end of night James Blackmon missed two free throws.”

Davis fouled out of the game, but he was critical in providing a presence both with and without sophomore forward Thomas Bryant on the court. Davis was strong in the post once again. He scored seven points and skillfully drew contact. He drew three shooting fouls and made five of six free throws.

His defense was also strong, and he went plus 12 against the Nittany Lions for the Hoosiers’ highest plus/ minus.

While IU’s junior guards Rob Johnson and Blackmon helped the cause with 17 points apiece, whenever they needed a rest, IU turned to Green and Jones.

The offense didn’t miss a beat when the youngsters were in the game, and they helped IU turn the tide in the first half when the offense was struggling through another slow start.

Green came into the Penn State game averaging 12.1 minutes and 3.8 points per game. After only playing 6 minutes in the loss to Butler, he has played double-digit minutes in six of seven games. His role has

increased, and he has done a good job running the offense as a point guard when he is on the court.

Green finished with five

points and one assist, and Jones finished with four points. Jones had the second best plus/minus, a plus nine, for the Hoosiers on

Wednesday.

All three will have to continue to play significant minutes with the health of Morgan and Anunoby being

big question marks moving forward.

“We earned this,” Crean said. “We beat a good team.

We overcame a lot.”

IU set to be host to rival Purdue on Thursday

IU freshman wrestler Devin Skatzka prepares for wrestling practice. Skatzka is 18-6 with two wins against ranked opponents and two podium finishes already this season.

Through his success, wrestler stays humble

By Ryan Schuld rschuld@indiana.edu | @rschuld

Freshman IU wrestler Devin Skatzka had a laundry list of accomplishments during his time at Richmond High School in Richmond, Michigan.

He won four individual state titles and two team state titles and set a school record for number of pins.

He was a three-time FloWrestling All-American and a letterman in three other sports, including football, for which he was named AllState as a running back.

In his first year at IU, wrestling unattached, Skatzka led the Hoosiers with 12 pins and has added nine more to that list this season.

Wrestling unattached means to take the mat in open tournaments while not officially representing the school.

The success Skatzka had in high school and to begin his college career might give an athlete a sense of entitlement, a reason to boast or belief that he is better than everyone else, but that’s not how Skatzka operates.

His high school coach, Brandon Day, described him in one word.

“Humble,” Day said. “He did so many amazing things in high school, and he’s doing great in college now. Sometimes getting a word out of him was so hard, and he made the things that seemed unattainable to some people where they would be going

crazy, but Devin was always humble and samiling.”

Day said Skatzka was never looking for attention and was always more excited about what the team accomplished rather than what he was able to accomplish individually.

Despite his humility, there is no hiding Skatzka’s athletic ability and wrestling prowess on the mat.

Last season, wrestling unattached and using the season to redshirt, Skatzka went 25-8 and finished on the podium in five different tournaments, including the Eastern Michigan Open, where he finished second.

He also came within one match from being on the podium in one of the best tournaments, the Midlands Tournament, of the season.

Day said he remembers Skatzka making things look easy in high school even if they weren’t.

“He’s strong and explosive,” Day said. “Devin is a finisher. He’s truly strong, probably the strength of a 197-pounder wrestling 184 in high school. Sometimes it was just unfair. He was ripping kids’ arms off and making it look easy. It was not easy. He is just that special.”

When deciding where to attend college Skatzka first had to decide whether to pursue football or wrestling at the college level.

“I could have played college football at Central Michigan,” Skatzka said. “Other than that probably some

smaller schools. I had a lot more success in wrestling and figured I could get to a higher level in wrestling.”

When wrestling became his choice, plenty of schools, including IU, saw how special he could be.

Day said it was the connections Skatzka built at IU that made his decision final.

Skatzka was able to make vital connections with IU sophomore Cole Weaver and Associate Head Coach Nick Simmons during his recruitment process because both are from Michigan.

Day said IU offered Skatzka the same values and morals he was raised with at Richmond and made him feel at home and comfortable right away.

Now in his first season officially representing the Hoosiers, Skatzka finds himself leading the team in pins and getting a taste of the national rankings.

He is 18-6 with two wins against nationally ranked opponents and two podium finishes at the Navy Classic and the Midlands Tournament.

Skatzka has plenty of accolades to his name already.

In his three-plus remaining years at IU he said he is eager for more accomplishments.

“This year is the NCAA Championships and an AllAmerican,” Skatzka said.

“That’s the ultimate goal.

From then on I just want to get better each year, be AllAmerican each year and get to the top of the podium.”

The IU women’s basketball team is in need of a slump-buster.

The past two games have been a struggle for IU, which has lost a pair of road games at Michigan and Northwestern. In both games IU battled but fell behind by double digits and couldn’t muster enough of a comeback.

Thursday night’s game is a chance for the Hoosiers to get back on track inside Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.

IU will be host to its instate rival, the Purdue Boilermakers, at 8 p.m.

“It’s going to be a big game no matter what. Coming off our losses, we need to bounce back,” senior center Jenn Anderson said. “Coming from Indiana, you have two Big Ten schools you can choose from, and I obviously chose to come here. It’s kind of a big deal to show that I made the right choice in coming to Indiana.”

The Hoosiers find themselves at a bit of a crossroads in the season. They sit at 2-3 in the conference while the Boilermakers sit at 3-2. A win could get the Hoosiers back in the race and help their spot in the Big Ten standings. With

a loss the season could start to get away from a team that had high expectations coming in. IU was picked to finish third in the Big Ten but is currently tenth.

Junior guard Tyra Buss played 38 minutes for IU in Saturday’s loss to Northwestern, the bench scored just nine points, and IU senior guard Karlee McBride, a starter, failed to score.

Anderson said the rivalry game is a good way for IU to get some energy back within the team.

“It gives you that extra it’san-in-state-rivalry-and-wewant-to-win,” Anderson said.

“Going up to Purdue last year we didn’t do our best, and now we want to bounce back.

We know if we come together — we’re glad to be back in Assembly, and we somehow always play better when we’re here. We’re ready for a big game tomorrow.”

Defense will likely be a big key for both teams Thursday night. When scoring at least 70 points, the Boilermakers are 6-0 this season. When they hold their opponents to 60 points or fewer, they are 11-1. Purdue features one of the best defenses, which holds opponents to 55.7 points per game, in the country and the best in the

Big Ten. Senior guard Ashley Morrissette leads the Boilermakers in points per game with 14.3 and in assists with 83 in 19 games played. Purdue is also good on the boards.

The Boilermakers feature four players who average 4.8 or more rebounds per game.

IU has had trouble with post defense in earlier games, and Thursday’s game will be another test.

“They got off to a slow start, but they finally found their groove,” IU Coach Terry Moren said of Purdue. “They aren’t deep, but the seven that they’re playing are really talented, and the thing I’ve been impressed in just watching and prepping for them is their execution.”

Moren is a Purdue graduate and played for the Boilermakers while at school. If she wants to beat her alma mater, her team will need production from everyone, especially the big three of Buss, junior forward Amanda Cahill and senior guard Alexis Gassion, that sees action on the court.

“There is truth to fresh minds and fresh bodies perform at a high level,” Moren said. “Sometimes the game, for us, we have to have one of the big three on the floor at all times.”

“I have no update on him or other than he certainly couldn’t have returned to the game and we’ll take the next step when we get home.”

With the Hoosiers without two of their crucial big men, Anunoby and Morgan, due to injuries, IU was slim at forward for the remainder of the game.

IU’s largest lead in the second half was at 14 with nine minutes to play, and they continued to lead up 13 points with fewer than five minutes remaining. However, the Nittany Lions never backed off.

Although IU was leading big in the second half, the turnovers had all of a sudden become an issue for the Hoosiers once again. After

to an intense response from the hopefuls they oversaw.

In alphabetical order, the Rho Gammas were called up and revealed, followed by screams from the women they oversaw.

Finally Zeta Tau Alpha presented their Rho Gammas and that phase was over.

The introductions and reveals finished, and it was time to open the envelopes.

committing five in the first half, IU coughed up the rock 12 times in the second half in addition to racking up fouls and putting Penn State in the bonus with nine minutes to play.

On the flip side, the Nitanny Lions weren’t playing a clean game either. They had just a few less mental lapses and only two fouls called against them in the first 18 minutes of the second half which helped Penn State claw its way back into the contest.

Freshman guard Curtis Jones was put on the free throw line twice in the final minute of the game and missed both front ends of one-and-one situations, which could have potentially been four points for IU. Jones’ missed free throws coupled with three turnovers by the Hoosiers in the final minute and nine seconds allowed the Nitanny Lions to tie the game at 75 with four seconds remaining.

Dausinas offered a warning before any envelopes were opened.

Dausinas was back on

The young ladies jumped up and down.

“OK, ladies, we are going to start the countdown,” Dausinas said. “10, 9, 8,...,” and in a matter of seconds the already ear-deafening building reached entirely new heights.

There was screaming, envelopes being tossed in the air, running, jumping

and so much more.

Vukas ripped open her envelope and read the letters — Alpha Phi — she had hoped for.

This is what she had dreamed would happen.

Phones were pulled out to make calls, send messages and take more photos.

The only woman around Vukas who had also opened an Alpha Phi bid was her floormate.

said this at halftime but our poise miss or make was really good and there’s been times when we get our heads down when we don’t make shots,” Crean said.

“Our transition wasn’t as good as it needed to be defensively, but we had good poise and that’s the sign of a growing team.”

When it came down to it, IU’s big three combination of sophomore forward Thomas Bryant, junior guard Robert Johnson

and Blackmon was strong enough to overcome any adversity that happened in the game. Each one of them netted 17 points Wednesday night, but no bucket was bigger than Blackmon’s at the buzzer.

“Coach just told me ‘I don’t care if you miss it, just do what you do and shoot the same shot you do every day in practice’,” Blackmon said to Big Ten Network postgame. “And I got my feet right and knocked it down.”

he said.

Though Trump is not explicitly named in any of the event’s promotion, the event’s website states it declines to inaugurate a new president. Avoiding his name is deliberate, Njuguna said.

“One of the core goals of Inaugurate the Revolution is to refocus the power to the community,” Njuguna said.

“He’s going to be all over the media, all over the press, and he feeds off that.”

Njuguna said he was lucky to have worked with people who could assist in quickly organizing this event after the election. He has been managing student involvement for the event and said he encourages any student who has any degree of rejection of Trump to participate.

“We don’t want this just to be an opposition or antiTrump event but a show a strength of unity and affirmation of our principles,” he said.

“SPLIT” Jan. 20 Three young women try to escape from a kidnapper named Kevin, who has multiple distinct personalities.

This movie has a great cast led by James McAvoy as Kevin and rising star Anya Taylor-Joy as one of his victims. This looks like it will be the best M. Night Shyamalan movie in years.

Deliciously depressing success ‘A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS’ Neil Patrick Harris, Patrick Warburton, Malina Weissman

B Dear Reader, Do not read this review of “A Series of Unfortunate Events,” a Netflix original based off a popular children’s novel series. It will not give you any more joy than simply watching the show. You would be better off if you stopped reading now, logged in to Netflix, and began watching the long-form television series that captures the grim whimsy of its beloved source material.

If you can’t, my deepest condolences. Here’s the gist: after the Baudelaire siblings — Klaus, the smart one, Violet, the other smart one, and Sunny the other other smart one — learn that they’ve lost their home and parents to a mysterious fire, they’re spirited away by the well-meaning but incompetent banker Mr. Poe and placed in the hands of the despicable theater actor Count Olaf.

Written by Daniel Handler under the pseudonym Lemony Snicket, the book series, equal parts tragedy and comedy, was a rare work of young adult fiction. Some readers might have been too young to appreciate the dark humor, but it’s hard to imagine someone too old for the series’ clever writing and steady pacing.

The Netflix adaptation, written by Handler and directed mostly by “Pushing Daisies” mastermind Barry Sonnenfeld, generally captures the dark comedy of the books. While the ghost of Jim Carrey’s singular 2004

Patrick Warburton, as private eye-cum-narrator Lemony Snicket, is the real treat, however. Pitch-black and pitch-perfect, Warburton’s author-avatar delivers grim exposition and hints at tantalizing conspiracies —

including a subplot involving super spies in Peru — while capturing the droll humor of Handler’s prose perfectly.

The orphans are an interesting counterpoint to Snicket. Whereas Snicket seemed like an extraneous plot device in the first couple of books, here he’s employed almost immediately as a legitimate character, complete with his

own compelling motivations and stake in the story.

At the end of the first episode, the orphans, looking at the squalor of Count Olaf’s mansion, ask themselves if their new home is “better than nothing.” Klaus seems to believe it is despite a smack across the face from his new guardian minutes prior.

Violet and later Snicket say otherwise and argue that in

especially grim circumstances, nothing can be preferable to something.

Not such a bad beginning after all, the Netflix adaptation’s early episodes, with their all-star creators and generally great cast, are definitely better than nothing.

Asian Culture Center offers henna workshops

By Noelle Snider nmsnider@indiana.edu

At 12 years old, Risana Malik sat in her home in Bangladesh and squeezed blobs of green-brown henna paste onto her hands.

As she started experimenting with henna, Malik said she often became frustrated when her designs didn’t work as planned.

“There were a lot of tears,” she said.

Now, 12 years later, Malik taught her first henna workshop as the Asian Culture Center henna workshop facilitator Wednesday.

“I think it can be really cool to get people involved in henna design,” she said. “A lot of people are drawn to it because it’s a kind of body art, but they don’t know where to start or may not know where it comes from culturally.”

These cultural roots stem from countries in South Asia and the Middle East, including India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Iran, Egypt and Morocco, among others.

Malik said henna has a distinct cultural significance in each of these countries.

“It’s particularly done for festivals and weddings and cultural events, which kind of gives it a cultural significance,” she said. “It adds a bit of glamour or beauty, and it really is an art with a lot of respect culturally.”

ACC graduate assistant Dillon Smith said he want-

ed to learn these cultural roots as an attendee of the workshop.

“I’ve seen some henna,” he said. “The first wedding I ever went to was a Hindu wedding that involved henna, but I never really knew how it tied in with the culture. I was really looking to hear about its cultural connection and how it varies in different cultures.”

Despite this cultural significance Malik said it was henna’s role as a cosmetic art that drew her to it.

“To me it’s a distinctive form of cosmetic art or body art,” she said. “I was drawn to it because it was really, really pretty and just relaxing to do, and it was a part of fashion and cosmetic beauty for weddings and festivals. The cultural significance became incidental, not really what drew me to it initially.”

As Smith practiced his designs he said he was trying to capture the intricacy that he associated with henna.

“The henna I’ve seen has been pretty intricate,” he said. “I know a lot of henna has a lot of little details and symmetry, so I was kind of looking to emulate that.”

While intricacy is a significant aspect of traditional henna, Malik told attendees that there is more to developing henna designs than just intricacy.

“Intricacy is one aspect that draws attention but equally important is using the white space,” she said.

YULIN YU | IDS

Resana Malik leads participates in creating henna on paper Wednesday evening in the Asian Culture Center. Malik said henna is frequently used in wedding and festival decoration.

“So how the design and white space complement each other to form a comprehensive design is very important visually.”

These designs and styles also vary from country to

country, Malik said.

“Some countries use thinner lines and more intricate patterns,” she said. “Others may use thicker lines and more white space. Some even use it as a hair dye or

accessory.”

Malik said it is important to practice in order to find where your own style falls along the spectrum of others.

“You just have to practice the motifs that make up the

larger designs until you get a better handle on it,” Malik said. “With practice then you can develop your own distinctive style that may play on the styles of other countries.”

‘Noon Talk’ at Bluegrass band comes to Bluebird Eskenazi deals with art, religion

By Sanya Ali

siali@indiana.edu | @siali13

nmsnider@indiana.edu

The Eskenazi Museum of Art invites speakers to discuss their takes on art exhibits in front of students and members of the Bloomington community in its “Noon Talk” series.

The most recent Noon Talk took place Wednesday and featured Sonia Velázquez, assistant professor of religious studies and comparative literature.

She gave a 45-minute presentation during which she discussed two drawings from Domenico Tiepolo’s 12-drawing New Testament series.

From the start of Velázquez’s talk, her personality and sense of humor showed through.

Audience members were encouraged to laugh and participate the entire time.

She began her talk by making a disclaimer about her cold.

“This talk is sponsored

by Kleenex,” Velázquez said while holding tissues in her hand.

Focusing on two drawings of the series of Paul’s conversion, Velázquez opened with an excerpt of Derek Walcott’s poem “Tiepolo’s Hound.”

The poem was a preface for the rest of the talk — partly focused on the use of transition, light and darkness in Tiepolo’s drawing.

Beginning with the drawing “The Conversion of Paul,” Velázquez first described the importance of knowing Paul’s background before he became a Christian and changed his name from Saul to Paul.

“Saul is a Jewish officer, and he is zealously defending his faith and doing what he thinks is right by prosecuting Christians,” Velázquez said.

In “The Conversion of Paul” his change of faith begins and is shown within the drawing.

Paul’s conversion begins when he is blinded by light and a voice.

For three days he could not see and did not drink or eat.

“How are we going to represent something that is not visible?” Velázquez said.

Velázquez goes on to help the audience see what

is not visible through the different symbols and representations found in the drawing.

Paul’s past was shown as the sturdy horse falling to the ground.

His transition to Christianity and the experience of being blind and without food or drink was represented by the sunlight and

“Not only do we get a domestic scene of a chair and a table, but we also get a door that contrasts with the open window. This is the past and the present.”

Sonia Velazquez, assistant professor of religious studies and comparative literature

clouds that appeared as smoke in the drawing.

From there Velázquez began the comparison between “The Conversion of Paul” and “Ananias Restoring Paul’s Sight.”

The drawings take place only three days apart, yet they convey very different meanings.

While “The Conversion of Paul” shows how Paul was falling because he was not a believer in the Christian faith and was killing those who were, ”Ananias Restoring Paul’s Sight” is different because it reveals his recent conversion to Christianity in numerous and symbolic ways.

Instead of a horse in the second drawing, a dog represents Paul’s new obedient nature contrary to his former dominance.

Along with this there is both a closed door and an opened window to represent the hope for new beginnings.

When asked why Velázquez chose “The Conversion of Paul” and “Ananias Restoring Paul’s Sight” instead of the other 10 drawings, she said it was because of her fascination with conversions.

“Not only do we get a domestic scene of a chair and a table, but we also get a door that contrasts with the open window,” Velázquez said. “This is the past and the present.”

time jobs in 2015.

“The majority of the band were already full-time musicians — myself and Peter, our mandolin player, were the only ones that still had our day jobs,” Ziegler said. “We decided to take the leap at that point in time.”

The Railsplitters’ sound is one Ziegler said is hard to define, though right now they have at least a temporary label.

“The best that we know of yet, our music is ‘unconventional bluegrass,’” Ziegler said. “It’s not traditional bluegrass by any means — we use bluegrass instrumentation — we

definitely take influence from those bluegrass roots and also from many other genres as well.”

The instruments included in the Railsplitters’ collection include upright bass, mandolin, banjo, fiddle and more.

Rider writes the songs, and Stovall provides the main vocals.

The band recently released its latest record, “The Faster it Goes.”

Ziegler said the band has been touring solo and had stops in Des Moines, Iowa, and Winona, Minnesota, and will perform in Chicago Wednesday before joining up with Yonder

The Bluebird Nightclub’s January lineup will include the addition of music that falls under the category of bluegrass and beyond.

Yonder Mountain String Band will perform at 8 p.m.

Thursday in the Bluebird, and the band’s openers, the Railsplitters, will visit as part of their first-ever Bloomington performance.

Leslie Ziegler, the Railsplitters’ bassist who also sings harmony, said the band — made up of Ziegler, Lauren Stovall, Dusty Rider, Joe D’Esposito and Peter Sharpe — is approaching its fifth year of performing together after meeting in Colorado back in 2012.

“We all met at jams around the area of Boulder,” Ziegler said. “Lauren, our lead singer, got a show that was just supposed to be a solo show, and she asked myself, Dusty and Pete if we wanted to do the show with her. We had so much fun we thought, ‘Hey let’s keep this going, do some more shows and see what happens.’”

Ziegler, a classically trained musician, said she moved out to Colorado for another job but found herself moving toward the bluegrass music scene once she arrived.

Now all five members of the band have committed themselves to the group, which required Sharpe and Ziegler to quit their full-

HELLO FROM THE OTHER SIDE

The Florence Cathedral is more than just the center of town think of the one in Milan, Italy. However, the Florence Cathedral is well deserving of its own recognition.

While Florence is home to the famous Ponte Vecchio bridge over the Arno river and the sky-high Galleria Degli Uffizi art museum, it wasn’t these places that were truly this city’s staple.

On my first day in this region of Tuscany, Italy, as soon as I turned right onto the street Via dell’Oriuolo and saw a glance at the orange bricks at the top of the Cathedral, it already brought me, a stranger to this town, a sense of understanding about this new city.

The Florence Duomo is a time machine that reminds any visitor Florence didn’t just appear. It’s a city with a history.

According to the Visit Florence website, it took two years for the cathedral to be considered finished.

Now it represents a symbol clearly reflected in the city and its never-ending commitment to honor its traditions and history.

From rich gelato and unbeatable cappuccinos found on every block to the stunning Basilica di Santa Croce church, which houses the serene burial place of

When we think of our hometown, no matter how small or how big, there is some sort of building or monument that makes that place complete.

Florence, Italy, is no different.

When one types “Paris, France” into Google, about 15 of the initial images are of the Eiffel Tower.

On the Rick Steves “Rome 2016” guidebook, we see the Colosseum on the cover.

If we turn to American culture, we know touring New York City isn’t complete without a ferry ride out to the Statue of Liberty.

On the West Coast, Los Angeles wouldn’t be its glamorous self without the large white word, “Hollywood,” decorating its hills.

If you think of this in terms of your own home, perhaps it’s an old fancy courthouse or a statue that rests in the center of town.

In Bloomington it’s Sample Gates sitting at the front of a university that’s nearly two centuries old.

The duomo in Florence, Italy, is an aesthetic and cultural center in the city.

Michelangelo and Galileo.

The way the duomo unexpectedly offers a wide array of colors from green to pink on the outside seems to reflect its distinct dimension within the people of this town.

As I speak to my landlord I see an Italian woman who has an unbelievable amount of passion for the Florence she has called home for years, and then I walk to class to meet a professor from Cleveland who visited

Italy on a whim and 30 years later has yet to move back to Cleveland.

New pope has surprising scope ‘THE YOUNG POPE’ Jude Law, Diane Keaton, Silvio Orlando

AThe Young Pope” is an unpredictable and dazzling new TV series from HBO. It may have been hard to cope with the endless memes that preceded this dramatic soap, but consider the scope. Those who give the show a chance, rather than just mope, will find it goes beyond tropes.

The bottom line? This pope is pretty dope.

This series is about Lenny Belardo, who has just been chosen as the new pope.

As the title suggests he is the youngest pope in history, but his youth masks a scheming mind that seeks to battle the established church hierarchy. He quickly proves he’s more likely to say nope to the various church leaders who just can’t cope rather than focus on hope.

Jude Law gives a compel-

ling performance as Belardo.

His take on an American accent makes him sound like Bill Murray, but he nevertheless does a good job at delivering menacing monologues.

Law’s range is on display throughout the first episode and especially in scenes where he employs a rope-adope strategy by letting a rival dictate terms of his pontificate.

“The Young Pope” also has a lot in common with an azeotrope, a mixture of two liquids that has a constant boiling point. This series is basically a mixture of a European filmmaker’s imagination and “House of Cards.”

The constantly boiling high stakes and characters’ passions threaten to spill over.

Power can be a slippery slope.

Acclaimed Italian filmmaker Paolo Sorrentino created “The Young Pope.” He directs every episode and brings some great visual strangeness to this series. The aerial shots of Rome will delight even the most unhappy

misanthrope.

You do not have to be Catholic to enjoy “The Young Pope.” The emphases on intrigue and Machiavellian ruminations make its appeal universal. The scheming that goes on is as interesting as that of “The Sopranos” or “Game of Thrones.”

The music of this series is eclectic. Music supervisor Lele Marchitelli makes great use of xylophones and didgeridoos to create a unique sonic environment.

It is a good avant-garde counterpoint to Sorrentino’s decadent color palette and scope.

The supporting cast is excellent. Diane Keaton shines as the kind Sister Mary. Silvio Orlando is a great antagonist as Cardinal Voiello. Marcello Romolo plays a simple priest that Belardo manipulates into serving as his spy.

This series is not for everyone. Sorrentino’s surrealist imagery and serious themes might put off viewers hoping for a lighthearted romp.

Humor on this show comes

MOVIE STILLS DATABASE

Paolo Sorrentino makes his television debut with HBO’s “The Young Pope.”

in small, striking doses. My favorite example is Belardo’s favorite breakfast: a cherry Coke Zero.

“The Young Pope” places a stethoscope to the heart of

a dark yet intriguing protagonist. I do not know what lies in that heart, but Sorrentino makes me anxious to learn what Belardo intends to do. I have hope the rest of this se-

ries will be at least as dope as its first episode.

The xx returns with refreshing album Nicole Krasean nkrasean@imail.iu.edu @NicoleKrasean

The xx leaves you brooding and bold with its third album.

The first time I saw the xx perform on “Saturday Night Live” I was mesmerized.

The English band performed its new single, “On Hold,” and grooved to the music as if it was just

jamming out in a member’s basement. I had heard the band’s music before, but this was the first time that I felt a rawness and depth in the lyrics that spoke to me and blended so nicely with the pop beats.

I was happy to find out that much of the band’s third album, “I See You,” which was released Jan. 13, is as passionate and pretty as “On Hold”.

Throughout the album’s track list the xx is able to connect with listeners by appealing to deep and sometimes dark thoughts that speak to nearly anyone.

T he lyrics paint a vivid picture of what it means to fear, to struggle, to take chances and to love.

The song “Performance” starts out with the lyrics “If I scream at the top of my

lungs / Will you hear what I don’t say?” which suggests an inability to communicate fully in a relationship and a sense of being muted despite having a lot to express.

One of the slower songs on the album, “Test Me,” also speaks to the brooding cloud that sometimes hangs over a relationship with lyrics like “I’ll take it out on you / It’s easier than talking it through.” The frus-

tration transmitted in these words and the minimalistic acoustics in the background leave listeners with a sense of exposure into the stripped-down minds of the musicians.

The revealing and affectionate themes of “I See You” are something that aren’t as common in indie pop nowadays, with the rise of electronic dance music and pop funk creating a

culture of shallow lyricism and repetition that really reveals nothing of a connection between the artist and the listener.

For anyone looking to have an intimate look into a band’s heartstrings and have their own pulled through the vulnerable and bright tones, the xx is just what should be playing on their walk to class or during their late night study session.
