Lemarquist McClee, 46, from Gary, Indiana, was charged with three counts of rape in the past week. All victims were 22-yearold women. The first woman told officers Wednesday at the Bloomington Police Department she was raped the previous night by McClee. Police located him quickly and arrested him. Officers obtained a search warrant for McClee’s cell phone Thursday and discovered videos of the alleged rapes of two other women. The first victim said she had met McClee at Brother’s Bar and Grill the night the rape occurred. She said she knew him through mutual friends but not well. McClee bought her a drink and offered to drive the woman and her friend home from the bar that night after they had both had multiple drinks. They accepted his offer, but

IU administration released a “Return to Campus Guide” for the fall semester last week with details of how different parts of the university will operate under new COVID-19 restrictions. According to the new guide, facial coverings must be worn in buildings, on public transportation and outdoors if social distancing is not possible. Every IU student and employee will receive two facial coverings from the university when they return to campus. Handmade cloth masks and surgical masks are also acceptable face coverings if students or employees would prefer to wear their own. The guide’s instructions include washing hands frequently, cleaning work areas more often and more intensely, sanitizing mail and packages and physically distancing at least 6 feet from others whenever possible.

Taste of Bloomington replaced with Taste to Go By Jaden Amos jamamos@iu.edu | @jadenamos

Due to COVID-19 the traditional celebration was canceled, according to a release, and replaced with a week-long “Taste To-Go” event from June 20 to June 26. Taste of Bloomington is an annual one-day festival in June celebrating local food, drink and music. Typically, the festival draws thousands downtown to eat from some of Bloomington’s most popular restaurants, drink and socialize. During this week, people can order to-go food from participating restaurants. The full list of participating restaurants is to be announced soon, according to the SEE FOOD, PAGE 3

A statement made by the market's Broadening Inclusion Group on Facebook drew criticism from the community and led to the dissolution of the group after a vote from the Farmers’ Market Advisory Council.

Advisory council dissolving Broadening Inclusion Group By Lauren McLaughlin lrmclaug@iu.edu | @l_mclaughlin8

The Farmers’ Market Advisory Council voted to dissolve the Broadening Inclusion Group in a meeting Monday evening attended by over 150 people. The Broadening Inclusion Group, a subcommittee of the council made up of volunteers, received widespread criticism over a statement posted on the market’s Facebook page addressing the death of George Floyd and other Black people killed by police. The statement also condemned Blackon-Black violence, which was the source of the criticism. Council member Janice Lilly made the motion to dissolve the Broadening Inclusion Group. She said she thought the best decision is to start anew. “I believe the name ‘Broadening Inclusion’ unfortunately now is probably not usable because of the statement that was published and the fact that it’s been on social media,” she said. “That statement has caused a lot of pain and a lot of conflict.” She said some vendors also

wanted to see the group dissolved. The vote was 6 to 1 with two council members marked as abstaining because they did not respond over Zoom. Council member and chair Cortland Carrington moved to suspend the Broadening Inclusion Group until the council writes a charter detailing how the subcommittee should work. “I believe the B and I mission is too important to abandon and my concern is that by dissolving it, it appears that we’re abandoning it,” he said. “I believe we need input from civic leaders and citizens alike as we equip it with a right and proper charter.” The motion failed with three council members in favor and six opposed. Before the council voted on each of these motions, council members were allowed to comment on the motions. Council member Lynn Schwartzberg commented on her concerns about the Broadening Inclusion Group’s statement and the importance of listening to others. “It concerns me very deeply that the reactionary behavior of

our community can cause such upheaval,” she said. “I think one of the biggest challenges as a society that we are living in right now is that we must all learn to listen to one another because we are all completely different people. We all come from completely different places, and we all see the world differently, and we must learn to close our mouths, which I will do now, and listen.” Council member Suzanne Mann said she also wanted to hear from the public but drew criticism in the chat when she characterized the public’s reaction as “emotional.” “This is moving very fast,” she said. “We react so quickly and it’s an emotional reaction, and I would like to have a little more cerebral activity.” Community members were then allowed to comment. About 30 community members publicly commented, including community activists and three IU professors.

Bloomington couple struggles to keep B&B alive By Wei Wang daviwang@iu.edu | @DavidWazman

It was supposed to be their last job before retirement. A last big endeavor after a life full of adventure that had brought them from Indiana to the Rocky Mountains and back. But Zack and Donna Malham, resident hosts of Wampler House Bed and Breakfast, now have their only source of income on the line. Having closed the house on March 17 due to coronavirus, the 68-year-old couple now live off social security while mostly relying on government grants to keep their business. Located south of Bloomington, the Wampler House is a historic property built in 1857. Zack and Donna acquired the house in 2015 before they learned it was less than a quarter of a mile away from where they lived as newlyweds in 1977. Bloomington was where the couple first met, dated and got married. Here, Zack studied under a professional chef for three years, whom he said catapulted his career into becoming a corporate chef without attending culinary school. “That just doesn’t happen anymore,” he said. “Opportunities like that don’t present themselves anymore.” Zack got a chef position in Denver, Colorado, and he and Donna spent 40 years in the restaurant industry there. They dictated their own schedules, worked long hours and rewarded themselves by traveling across the United States. But in these 40 years of what Donna calls a “side trip” in the West, the couple had always thought of Bloomington as home.

The Wampler House Boutique Hotel Bed & Breakfast Inn is located at 4905 S. Rogers St. Government emergency relief grants have helped resident hosts Zack and Donna Malham keep the business afloat.

Having planned to run a bed-andbreakfast for 20 years, they decided to return to Bloomington in 2015. Before long, they purchased the eight-room Wampler House, already a B&B under its previous owners. “That’s an absolute full circle – Halley’s Comet,” Zack said. “I mean, this was just meant to be.” For the past five years, Wampler House has welcomed regional guests as well as Bloomingtonians looking for a stay-cation. The couple lives on-site, and Zack said although there are high and low seasons, the business usually keeps them busy. As the COVID-19 pandemic spread across the U.S. in midMarch, the couple had to shut down the B&B, both being in the high-risk age group for the virus. Brandon Howell, lecturer in the Department of Health & Wellness Design at the School of Public Health, said hospitality workers are frontline workers because

they deal with the public directly. B&Bs also have more intimate settings than hotels with tighter living spaces and hallways and more interaction between the customers and innkeepers which makes it harder to socially distance. Andrew Butters, assistant professor at the IU Kelley School of Business, added that B&Bs might be less well-funded to meet rising cleanliness standards and social distancing protocols. For Wampler House, the couple’s only reasonable choice was to shut it down. Now entering the third month of the house being closed, Zack and Donna are struggling to balance their risk of exposure and running dry on money, like many small business owners throughout the country. Zack calls this “panicking in place." “Without heads in beds, we’re dead in the water,” Zack said. “We have no revenue.” The couple’s personal living costs are now entirely dependent

on social security, which includes mortgage and utility bills for their own residence separate from Wampler House. “The meter kept running,” Zack said. The expenses include money owed to vendors, utility companies, insurances, mortgage plans and internet costs. Zack said he has tried to be transparent and reach out proactively to these businesses. Talking to people about money has become his daily routine. But there have been glimmers of hope. Zack said people have been forgiving about money challenges. “Everybody’s working with everybody to get people through this because this is real," he said. "This is not a test." With the help of government emergency relief grants, they have managed to keep their business. A small proportion of the relief came from the federal Payment Protection Program, but Zack said what really took the pressure off of them has been the Monroe County Food & Beverage COVID-19 Virus Relief grant. It has substantially helped the couple pay for the mortgages and utilities of Wampler House. “We are both prayerfully optimistic that we are going to be able to survive and ride out the pandemic,” Zack said. Howell said that before the pandemic ends, the B&B experience will suffer from stricter health protocols. “What’s sad about the whole thing is that hospitality is based on experience,” he said. “The people who work in these places are the product.

CROSS-COUNTRY

Course to be named after coach Sam Bell By Tyler Tachman ttachman@iu.edu | @Tyler_T15

IU’s new cross-country course will be named after the late Hall of Fame coach Sam Bell, IU athletic director Fred Glass announced Tuesday morning. During his 29-year stint with the Hoosiers starting in 1970, Bell led the track and field and cross-country teams to a total of 26 conference titles, the most of any coach in IU Athletics history. He was also named as Big Ten Coach of the Year six times while coaching 20 individual NCAA champions. “Sam was a legend in his profession and an extraordinary teacher and mentor to hundreds of students and colleagues during his 29 years at Indiana University,” Glass said in a release. “His impact on his students extended well beyond their time in Bloomington, and his impact on Indiana University extended well beyond his coaching tenure. He is very deserving of this recognition and honor.” Before his time with the Hoosiers, Bell led the 1961 Oregon State University men’s crosscountry team to a NCAA championship. He also coached the U.S. Olympic men’s distance running team in 1976. Bell was inducted into the U.S. Track Coaches Hall of Fame and the National Track and Field Hall of Fame before his death in 2016. “The Indiana University cross country program has been synonymous with success on the Big Ten and NCAA levels,” IU Deputy Director of Athletics Scott Dolson said in a release. “I am excited not only to see Sam honored in this way, but also for what the completion of the Sam Bell Cross Country Course means for our current students. They now have an exceptional course to compete and train on, one that also now honors the rich tradition of our program.” The new $540,000 trail covers 40 acres east of the 45/46 bypass. The layout was designed by Bloomington resident Bledsoe Riggert Cooper James. It can be used as a 3K, 2K and 1K course. Glass noted that a formal announcement of the honor will be planned for a later date depending on the future complications of coronavirus. The IU men’s cross-country team finished 13th in the NCAA championships last year, while the women’s cross-country team took 19th.

Residents of the Autumn Hills Alzheimer's Special Care Center smile for a photo. The center received one of 14 iPads that University Information Technology Services donated to hospitals and nursing homes in Monroe County.

UITS donated 14 iPads locally By Grace Opinker gopinker@iu.edu

When Henry Gabriel saw organizations in Italy donating iPads to local hospitals and nursing homes, he decided he wanted to do something similar in Bloomington. “I thought this was the perfect opportunity to be able to help out local community members,” said Gabriel, associate director of finance for University Information Technology Services. Gabriel started talking to other UITS employees and working with people throughout the department to organize the donation. In total, 14 iPads were donated to hospitals and nursing homes throughout Monroe County.

UITS collected iPads of a couple different sizes from students and faculty who were no longer using them and refurbished them to ensure they were in working condition. As long as iPads weren’t shattered or didn’t have any internal issues, they were accepted. Jackie Routt, Autumn Hills Alzheimer’s Special Care Center administrator, said she was notified a month before the nursing home received the iPad. “When we were first informed about receiving an iPad, our patients didn’t necessarily understand what they would actually be receiving,” Routt said. “Since we’ve received them, there’s been a notable difference with our patients.” Autumn Hills received

the larger iPad model, and Routt said the size is beneficial to the patients because it makes it easier for them to see things on the screen. Alzheimer’s can cause patients to be confused and troubled by problem solving, time and place, and comprehending images and relationships. Routt said allowing residents to FaceTime with their family members and friends has calmed confusion and anxieties. Routt didn’t know whether UITS was letting Autumn Hills borrow the iPad or keep it permanently. Gabriel clarified that it is for them to keep. “The iPad at Autumn Hills is a donation, and we don’t want them to worry about having to return it to us,” Gabriel said. “We de-

cided we wanted them to keep it because then we don’t eventually have to worry about tracking them down or worrying about if it has been dropped and shattered.” The iPad is one of the few sources for contact between residents and family members right now. Visitors were only allowed to visit with Autumn Hills residents through the window for many weeks. Routt said visits are slowly returning to normal because Monroe County is now in stage four Indiana’s reopening plan. Visitors are now allowed to sit outside with residents as long as social distancing is enforced. “The iPads will continue to keep loved ones connected as long as the pandemic continues,” Routt said.

MCCSC to provide in-person, online options in the fall By Cate Charron catcharr@iu.edu | @catecharron

The Monroe County Community School Corporation announced Friday they are finalizing plans for the 2020-21 school year and will provide both inperson and online instruction options, according to a MCCSC Facebook post. The post said they received guidance from the Indiana Department of Education, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Indiana State Department of Health to make decisions about next year. The school year will begin Aug. 5 as previously planned. People responded in the comments saying they are glad there are different options while others asked questions that have yet to be answered such as whether school breaks will be cancelled like IU's. Multiple Indiana state

departments gave suggestions to schools in a report titled Indiana’s Considerations for Learning and Safe Schools COVID-19 Health and Safety Re-entry Guidance. The report includes safety protocols schools can adopt to limit the spread of COVID-19 and how to deal with students or teachers becoming sick. It said schools should pay attention to their own ability to maintain a healthy environment and the status of COVID-19 in their community. Notable recommendations including wearing masks depending on state and local guidelines, not using water fountains except for filing individual water bottles, minimizing the number of students in school at one time and keeping the same group of students with the same staff members as much as possible.

IU Trustees discuss plan to improve diversity, inclusion By Lauren McLaughlin lrmclaug@iu.edu | @l_mclaughlin8

The IU Board of Trustees approved new degrees, administration appointments and the renaming of the Intramural Center at its meeting Friday. Here are the highlights. Diversity and inclusion Trustee Quinn Buckner addressed the death of Chris Beaty, a former IU football player who was killed in the Indianapolis protests about two weeks ago. The board took a moment of silence to remember Beaty’s life. IU President Michael McRobbie read his President’s Report in which he addressed nationwide protests over George Floyd’s death and named five changes IU will make to increase diversity and inclusion. “We must join together as a strong and vigorous educational community to be inclusive, supportive and welcoming to all,” McRobbie said. African American and Hispanic communities have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic, McRobbie said in his report. For this reason, IU will use $1 million to create the Pandemic Health Disparities Fund, which will provide public health programs for African American and Hispanic students’ pandemicrelated needs in the coming semester. The Health Resources and Service Administration awarded the IU School of Medicine a grant to fund a

program that will educate medical students about caring for disadvantaged communities. IU faculty will have the opportunity to receive funding for racial equity and social justice research through the new Racial Justice Research Fund. McRobbie also said the university administration will reevaluate diversity policies relating to staff, students, faculty and the IU Police Department. Lastly, the Board of Trustees approved renaming the Intramural Center. It is now called the William Leon Garrett Fieldhouse to honor William Leon Garrett, the first Black basketball player at IU and in the whole Big Ten. He started playing for IU in the late 1940s, a time when integrated sports teams were uncommon. The Intramural Center was named the Wildermuth Intramural Center after a former trustee, but the Board of Trustees removed the name in 2018 after reviewing Ora Wildermuth’s racist remarks in historical documents. “Recent events in our country have demonstrated once again the awful weight that racial discrimination has placed on our citizens, and how that legacy can be perpetuated through those we choose to honor, in our public art, our icons, and the names we put on buildings,” McRobbie said. IU will also review the names of other campus buildings and their namesakes’ history, McRobbie

Brownsburg man arrested for stealing By Tristan Jackson tripjack@iu.edu | @tristan_jackso

Bloomington police arrested a Brownsburg man early Monday morning for allegedly stealing over 100 wooden pallets from Rural King, Bloomington Police Department Capt. Ryan Pedigo said. Around 2:30 a.m., an officer was on an unrelated call in the Rural King parking lot when a U-Haul sped off from behind the store down Hick-

ory Leaf Drive, Pedigo said. Police pulled over Darren Helvey, 57, in the northbound on-ramp to I-69 at Bloomfield Road and searched the U-Haul after Helvey gave police inconsistent statements. Police said they found 111 wooden pallets in the back of the U-Haul, which Rural King employees said are sold for $7 each. The man was arrested and is being charged with theft and criminal trespassing.

Employees are not required to participate, but they are required to sign a “Community Responsibility Acknowledgement” that outlines the seriousness of the coronavirus and the importance of each person doing their part to prevent its spread. The document states that cleaning procedures will occur more frequently in university buildings and other shared spaces. The university also encourages each employee and student to proactively disinfect their own work areas. Hand sanitizer will be available inside most building entrances and at the exits of high-traffic elevators. Socially distant procedures are required for all university work areas, including staying 6 feet apart from other people, separating work stations 6 feet apart or with physical barriers, reducing large gatherings and physical contact and staggering work schedules.

On the other hand, Butters suggested people might substitute plane travels with short weekend drives to closer, regional locations, which B&Bs are well-suited for.

Randle El makes College Hall of Fame ballot By Caleb Coffman calcoffm@iu.edu | @CalCoff

Former IU quarterback Antwaan Randle El is listed on the ballot for the College Football Hall of Fame’s class of 2021. This is the ninth-consecutive year that Randle El has been listed on the ballot.

Randle El played for the Hoosiers from 1998-2001 and earned All-Big Ten honors in 1999, 2000 and 2001. He was also named a first team AllAmerican and Big Ten MVP his senior year, finishing sixth in the Heisman Trophy voting for college football’s most outstanding player.

The Riverdale, Illinois native was the first player in NCAA history to both pass for more than 6,000 yards and rush for more than 3,000 yards in his career. Randle El finished his career at IU with 7,469 passing yards and 42 touchdown passes, while adding 3,895 rushing yards and 44 touchdowns on

the ground. Randle El was taken in the second round of the 2002 NFL draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers and played 10 years in the NFL with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Washington Redskins. In 2006, he won a Super Bowl with the Steelers. In 2018, Randle El received

IU’s top ﬁve team seasons from last year Rowers named AllAmerican

By Tyler Tachman ttachman@iu.edu | @Tyler_T15

The Indiana Daily Student sports desk revisits the top Hoosiers seasons from last year. All spring sports are not being considered due to the small sample size of games that were played. 5. Men’s swimming and diving Coming off of a 2018-19 season where the men’s swimming and diving team captured a Big Ten title, last year was a little bit of a disappointment. As a heralded program with 27 Big Ten championships, high expectations are the norm every year. The men’s team underperformed to its usual standards, placing third in the conference championships, despite hosting the event in Bloomington at the CounsilmanBillingsley Aquatic Center. Regardless, the men’s team still earns a spot at No. 5 on this list. IU finished with an overall record of 8-3. The Hoosiers defeated four ranked opponents, including No. 12 the University of Notre Dame, No. 6 Michigan and No. 23 Iowa. Eleven swimmers qualified for the NCAA championships on March 25-28 in Indianapolis, before it was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. 4. Men’s cross country Senior Kyle Mau led the men’s cross country team to a 13th place finish in the NCAA championships last fall. Individually, Mau placed 12th in the event and earned AllAmerican status. To start the season, IU took first place in the Miami Opener on Aug. 30. Later, the Hoosiers placed second in Vanderbilt’s Commodore Classic. The Hoosiers ranked second at the Big Ten conference meet with performances from junior Ben Veatch, who finished fourth, and Mau, who finished sixth. IU continued its momentum in the Great Lakes Regional as a part of the NCAA Championships, finishing fourth and advancing to the national meet. 3.

ended the year with an overall record of 8-5, its first winning mark since 2007. Four of IU’s five losses came against ranked opponents. The Hoosiers were drubbed by No. 6 Ohio State 51-10 at Memorial Stadium on Sept. 14. IU was toppled by No. 13 Michigan and No. 9 Penn State by a combined score of 73-41. After freshman quarterback Michael Penix Jr. suffered a seasonending injury in the Nov. 2 game against Northwestern, junior Peyton Ramsey stepped into his place. The efforts of Ramsey, sophomore running back Stevie Scott and junior wide receiver Whop Philyor helped the Hoosiers bring the Old Oaken Bucket back to Bloomington with a 44-41 double-overtime victory against Purdue in the last game of the regular season. In the postseason, IU escaped the frigid temperatures of Bloomington and traveled to sunny Jacksonville, Florida where it earned a matchup with Tennessee in the Taxslayer Gator Bowl. From there, the Hoosiers blew a 22-9 lead with only four minutes left in the game. The Volunteers raged back to complete a 23-22 upset. Regardless, it was the Hoosiers’ most successful season of the decade. 2. Men’s soccer To say the IU men’s soccer

season started off in dramatic fashion would be an understatement. All of IU’s first five matches needed extra time to be decided, four of which went to doubleovertime. The Hoosiers prevailed in three of the five occasions, with the other two finishing as ties. The top-tier program turned in another impressive season, ending with a 15-4-3 record and 7-1 mark in the Big Ten. The Hoosiers took a regular season conference crown and fought their way to a Big Ten tournament title after beating Michigan in, yes, penalty kicks. Fittingly, the Hoosiers luck in extra time finally caught up to them. In the second round of the NCAA tournament, IU was upset by the University of California at Santa Barbara 1-0 in double-overtime with a walkoff goal at Bill Armstrong Stadium. The season didn’t end with IU’s ninth NCAA championship, but it was yet another solid showing for head coach Todd Yeagley’s squad. 1. Women’s basketball This season, the IU women’s basketball team was likely headed to the NCAA tournament for the seventh time in program history before the coronavirus pandemic ended its hopes. It would have been only the second time the team made the big dance in back-to-back seasons. Two years removed from a NIT championship, head coach Teri

Moren has continued to push the Hoosiers in the right direction. Entering last season, the Hoosiers had eclipsed the 20 win mark in each of the last four years. IU continued its streak in the 2019-20 campaign, posting a 24-8 record and a 13-5 conference clip.The Hoosiers reached No. 12 in the country during a stretch of games in January. Junior guard Ali Patberg led the way in scoring for IU with 15.6 points per game and sophomore Grace Berger added an average of 13.1 points per game of her own. The Hoosiers built momentum early in the season with a victory against top-10 ranked the University of South Carolina. Though the Hoosiers dropped some games in the conference season and finished fourth in the Big Ten regular season standings, they were still in a strong position to earn another bid in the NCAA tournament and get past the second round for the first time in school history. But, the coronavirus robbed the chance for it to come to fruition. The Hoosiers will be loaded again with both Patberg and Berger returning next season. Behind the leadership of Moren and the experienced roster, the Hoosiers may be destined for their first sweet sixteen showing next spring.

Two IU women’s rowing members were listed as College Rowing Coaches Association All-American nominees and eight IU rowers were listed for the scholar athletea award, the CRCA announced Monday. Senior Abigail Bogovich and junior Jordan Miller earned All-American nominations. Bogovich was a second team All-American last year. “It was disappointing that the season didn’t play out as expected,” Bogovich said. “But it’s still an honor to be recognized.” Both Miller and Bogovich will be both returning to the team next year. Scholar athlete award recipients from IU include sophomore Libby Brown, junior Nicole Conway, senior Antonia Frappell, sophomore Ruby Leverington, senior Liz Saunders, sophomore Kaylynn Scher, senior Paige Spiller and sophomore Victoria Vicory. Scholar athlete award recipients in 2020 were required to be in their second, third or fourth year of eligibility and to obtain a 3.5 cumulative GPA or higher in their career. They were also required to rank in the top 50% in either their team’s performance or in the “NCAA Squad” depending on which of the two is smaller, according to the website. The team finished the season with a 3.707 combined average GPA with 11 team members posting a 4.0 GPA. “We had the highest team GPA that the team’s had in a long time this season,” Spiller said. “It’s awesome to see.” Bogovich said the team is conducting Zoom meetings to stay motivated, set goals and conduct individual workouts throughout the summer. “We’re staying ambitious for next year,” Bogovich said. In the 2018-19 season, IU women’s rowing placed fifth in the Big Ten Championships and 12th in NCAA championships. The IU rowing team appeared in the NCAA rowing championships for six straight years prior to 2020.

BASEBALL

2022 pitcher Aydan Decker-Petty stays home with IU By Tyler Tachman ttachman@iu.edu | @Tyler_T15

When Aydan DeckerPetty looks back on attending IU baseball games at Bart Kaufman Field a few years ago, one specific thought pops into his mind. “I just remember them winning,” Decker-Petty said. Decker-Petty, a righthanded pitcher and rising junior at New Castle High School, verbally committed to the IU baseball team Monday night on Twitter. Decker-Petty, who stands 6-feet 5-inches and weighs 170 pounds, is the No. 4 player in the state of Indiana and No. 270 nationally in the class of 2022, according to Prep Baseball Report. Decker-Petty’s choice to attend IU runs deeper than just a winning culture. Decker-Petty’s grandfather, who was his T-ball coach, loves the Hoosiers. DeckerPetty’s brother, who has coached him since he was 7or 8-years-old, is an IU graduate. As a kid, Decker-Petty and his family would make the trip to Bloomington to watch games in the electric atmosphere of Assembly Hall. Naturally, as he grew up, cream and crimson became prevalent in his life. As Decker-Petty turned into a budding prospect on the diamond, his Hoosier origins paid off for the IU baseball program. “It’s the place for me,” Decker-Petty said. As a freshman in high school, Decker-Petty was already 6 feet 3 inches tall and his fastball was registering at 80-81 miles per hour. Then he started working out at the Passion Resilience Process sports facility in Noblesville, Indiana. He would frequent the gym almost every day, except on Fridays when he had a team practice. The first hour train-

in the mid-200-pound range. Last weekend, he repped 315 pounds three times. “I’m going to keep grinding in the weight room,” Decker-Petty said. Decker-Petty continued to put himself in position to be recruited by IU. Last fall, his travel team played at Bart Kaufman Field. He also at-

ing consisted of throwing weighted balls on the turf area to increase arm strength. The second half of the workout took place in the weight room where he would push through sets of squats, dead lifts and bench presses. When Decker-Petty first started, the maximum weight he could dead lift was

tended two of IU’s showcase camps, hoping for a chance to become a Hoosier. Meanwhile, he grew another two inches. Decker-Petty’s gains with the iron became apparent on the mound. At a Prep Baseball Report event in March, his fastball popped the catcher’s mitt at 89 miles per

hour. A video shows him on the mound, coiling his arms toward his body while raising his left leg. Then, he sinks down in a balanced position and explodes with force toward the plate. In the clip, he also showed his repertoire of secondary pitches: a slider and a change-up. The slider

cut sharply toward the leftybatter’s box and reached 78 miles per hour. His changeup, which sat at 75-76 miles per hour, offered a solid difference in speed to his fastball. Earlier this spring, Decker-Petty caught the IU staff ’s attention. He started talking with IU pitching coach Justin Parker. Parker would give Decker-Petty different aspects of his game to fine tune. Then, Decker-Petty would report back to Parker. Before Decker-Petty made his decision public, he called his grandfather. Decker-Petty wanted to speak to the man who guided him in his T-ball days. Soon, Decker-Petty’s next stop is the turf at Bart Kaufman field. “He couldn’t believe it,” Decker-Petty said. “He was so excited.” Decker-Petty marks the fifth prospect in the 2022 class to commit to play for IU head coach Jeff Mercer and the Hoosier program. So far, he’s the only pitcher in the group. Considering Decker-Petty is only a rising junior in high school, his velocity and development of pitches should continue to grow in the next two years. There is plenty of room for him to fill out his lanky stature. If he is able to add weight, Decker-Petty’s velocity should climb into the 90s, and his potential will skyrocket. Decker-Petty is planning to make a visit to St. Elmo’s Steak House in Indianapolis along with his brother. Decker-Petty will order a “big ‘ol steak” to celebrate his announcement, he says. After years in the making, Decker-Petty will officially be a part of the Hoosier family. “I just can’t wait to be on the field at the college level,” Decker-Petty said. “And hopefully get some rings while we’re at it.”

8 Hoosiers join Anti-Hate and Anti-Racism Coalition By Luke Norton lcnorton@iu.edu | @lcnorton31

The Big Ten conference released details Monday on the new Anti-Hate and AntiRacism Coalition on Monday. Members of the coalition include student-athletes, coaches, athletic directors, presidents, chancellors and faculty members. Each Big Ten university, the conference’s administration, university alumni and the Big Ten Network have representation on the coalition. There are eight members from IU. IU’s representatives are incoming athletic director Scott Dolson, senior associate athletic director Anthony Thompson, senior associate

ties to work together to counter racism and hate. “The events in our country and around the world during the past few months have strengthened my fundamental belief in our need to develop tangible and actionable efforts in a collective manner and provide viable solutions addressing the issues of hate and racism in our society,” Warren said in a release. “We have the distinct opportunity and responsibility through our Coalition to continually encourage, educate and empower our student-athletes as we embrace transparent and much-needed dialogue regarding meaningful issues that have impacted race relations for many years.”

athletic director Mattie White, faculty athletics representative C. Kurt Zorn, wrestling head coach Angel Escobedo, volleyball head coach Steve Aird, women’s swimming and diving junior Savanna Spears and men’s basketball junior Race Thompson. “I am grateful to have the opportunity to use my platform as a student-athlete to combat hate and racism in our country,” Spears said in a release. “It is so important that we go out and vote so that all our voices can be heard.” The coalition was first announced June 1 in an open letter from Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren. The purpose of the coalition is for members of Big Ten Universi-

HILLS TO DIE ON

ILLUSTRATION BY MADELYN POWERS | IDS

Engaging in difficult conversations is more useful than unfriending people Kaitlyn Radde (she/her) is a rising junior in political science.

You’ve probably seen some variation of the “unfollow me if you don’t support Black Lives Matter” post on social media in recent weeks, almost always posted by a white person, at least in my feed. While I understand the urge to cut people out of your virtual or real life if they do not understand Black Lives Matter, this attitude doesn’t help anybody. We live in a fundamentally white supremacist society that politically, economically, aesthetically, socially and psychologically rewards whiteness. We are all individually responsible for being more ethical than the society that raised us. But if your family has not raised you to be anti-racist

— most white people can’t see or don’t acknowledge continuing racial injustice due to colorblind narratives that start in childhood — and your friend groups and neighbors agree with you, where do you start, especially if everyone posting “woke” things on your feed is saying you’re beyond help? There are three reasons that white disengagement from online racism is problematic. First, as this Instagram post argues, it exempts the person posting it from confronting racism and from using their privilege to begin to change someone’s mind. Those conversations are anti-racist actions which we should commit to, not just on social media but in our predominantly white homes, classrooms and workplaces.

Second, it reduces those people’s exposure to antiracist ideas and closes them off from change, whether or not they ever discuss the posts. In other words, your infographic about systemic racism has more potential to help your implicitly or explicitly racist followers than it will for your “woke” friends. Third, it implicitly asserts that no one ever had to help you overcome a bias or problematic behavior or belief. Maybe that’s true, but most of us have needed help at one point or another. In my high school paper’s newsroom, I was the only conservative person as far as I can recall. The product of a Fox News devotee household, I entered high school holding views I now believe are deeply problematic. Instead of treating me

with hostility, my peers engaged with me about what I believed when politics came up in the newsroom — so, every day. I often felt embarrassed, not because they were hostile, but because they often showed me logical and factual flaws in my belief system. I don’t remember all of the things I said, but looking back, I’m sure some of them were rooted in inexcusable ignorance of systemic and overt racism. It was uncomfortable and frustrating for me, and I’m sure it was uncomfortable and frustrating for my friends. By the time my dad and I got home from our lastminute trip to the Iowa caucuses in February 2016, I knew that it was no longer accurate to call myself conservative. My friends’ willingness to enter into discomfort left

nagging doubts that became impossible to overcome. However, I wasn’t willing to admit that I had been wrong or to confront what to do about it. For over a year, I continued to behave in writing and in conversation as if my beliefs hadn’t changed. When I look back, I am ashamed not because I had to grow and change, but because I refused to admit that I had done so. Looking back at those disingenuous pieces I wrote is much harder than looking back at pieces I disagree with but that my former self argued in good faith. If you are a reader in a position like I was, remember that you don’t owe the world a gradual shift. Continuing down a path you believe or suspect is wrong for the sake of your pride is not worth it. Admit that you were wrong, change course

and commit to doing better. Remember: Google is free. If you are a reader in a position like my friends were, remember that “ally” should be a verb, not a selfproclaimed label. Discomfort is a fundamental part of progress and therefore a fundamental part of allyship, no matter what type of bigotry you are confronting. Something you can do in this moment to make the world better is to try to bring other white people around to anti-racist ideas and actions, even though it would be easier to simply disengage. As Ray Bradbury asserts in “Fahrenheit 451,” “If you hide your ignorance, no one will hit you and you’ll never learn.” Plenty of people aren’t bothering to hide their ignorance. The least you can do is hit them. kradde@iu.edu

The Comedy Attic set to reopen June 24 By Jaden Amos jamamos@iu.edu | @jadenamos

The Comedy Attic is set to reopen June 24, according to a Facebook post by owner Jared Thompson. The club’s opening night will be the 12th annual Bloomington Comedy Festival. The club will reopen with new, strict guidelines to promote safety and decrease the spread of COVID-19. Patrons must purchase tickets beforehand and bring their own masks and wear them the entire time. Facial coverings can be moved for brief periods to eat and drink, but they are not allowed to take them off entirely. Tables will be bare, and there will be QR codes that lead people to the comedy club’s menus. Patrons must sit six feet from one another, and temperatures will be checked at the door. Thompson said the comedy club will operate at a 50% capacity for the foreseeable future, even if government guidelines allow businesses to accept more.
