Adam DeVine is scheduled to come to campus in February. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday. The show will be 8 p.m. Feb. 25, 2015. Geoff Ferguson, the 2015 director of the performance and entertainment committee at Union Board, said in an email the event will focus on stand-up comedy. “Students in attendance should expect a stand-up comedy show that displays Adam DeVine’s unique and hilarious style of humor, exemplified by his performances in ‘Workaholics,’ ‘Pitch Perfect,’ ‘Modern Family’ and ‘Adam DeVine’s House Party,’” he said. DeVine was made famous as the co-creator, writer and leading actor of the Comedy Central show “Workaholics.” He was also involved in “Pitch Perfect,” where he played “Bumper Allen,” leader of the all-male campus singing champions. While filming the movie, he worked with Anna Kendrick, Brittany Snow and Rebel Wilson. He has just wrapped up production in “Pitch Perfect 2,” to be released May 15, 2015. People will also be able to see DeVine in Nancy Meyers’ “The Intern” opposite of Anne Hathaway and Robert DeNiro. He is also featured in “Final Girls” opposite of Nina Dobrev and Thomas Middleditch, according to the release. Brett Bassock, the current director of live entertainment at Union Board, said the show “fit” campus

IU (6-1) vs. Pittsburgh (4-3) W, 81-69

When Pittsburgh pulled in offensive rebounds on each of its first four possessions Tuesday night, it looked as if IU was on its way to being dominated inside yet again. The game wasn’t yet two minutes old, and IU Coach Tom Crean was already concerned. “Hey, take away the mid-

dle,” an exasperated Crean yelled down the court. IU listened. What happened from there was just that — Pittsburgh finished with 25 offensive rebounds, but IU rode 48 points in the paint to

Freshman Emmitt Holt ‘forgives himself,’ leads team scoring in win By Sam Beishuizen

2-3 zone or man-to-man?

Columnist Casey Krajewski says with Holt playing well, IU should use the 2-3, page 9

Following his team’s loss to Eastern Washington, IU Coach Tom Crean said he was reluctant to play freshman forward Emmitt Holt because the game was going “too fast.” Tuesday night, Holt caught up. The Webster, N.Y., native

had 15 points off of 6-for-6 shooting and five rebounds to lead IU (6-1) to an 81-69 win against Pittsburgh (43) in the Hoosiers’ ACC/Big Ten Challenge matchup at SEE HOLT, PAGE 6

IU experts offer input on 2014 UN Bloomington Housing Climate Change Conference talks Authority to open waitlist akhyzy@indiana.edu | @annakhyzy

We can only warm the Earth two more degrees Celsius by 2100 without facing serious consequences, according to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. If that limit is surpassed, we risk melting all of the planet’s ice and creating a world so different that it’s hard to imagine what it would look like or if it would even be habitable. Right now, we’re on track to warm our planet by approximately four degrees Celsius. A United Nations Climate Change Conference is taking place in Lima, Peru, this week, according to the UNFCCC website. The more than 100 nations attending the conference are discussing the possibility of an international agreement to lower carbon emissions in an effort to combat climate change. “These are things that we basically should have gotten a handle on 20 to 25 years ago,” said James Barnes, professor of law and public and environmental affairs. Barnes served as deputy administrator in the United States Environmental Protection Agency in the late 1980s. Past attempts to reach international agreements on carbon emissions have been unsuccessful. “I think there is a perceived conflict between what people perceive to be as their short-term economic interests and what are, I think, the realities and risks in the long run if we don’t take action to address this uncontrolled experiment we’re running with the atmosphere,” he said. In recent years, both the United States and China — two of the largest producers of carbon dioxide emissions — have committed to lowering

Change in Earth’s surface temp.

The Earth’s surface temperature from 1950 through 2013, relative to the average surface temperature from 1951-1980, has risen distinctly in recent decades.

The Bloomington Housing Authority will open the waiting list for Housing Choice Vouchers beginning Dec. 9. The list will remain open until further notice. A five-day notice will be given prior to the list’s closing, according to a BHA news release. The BHA has three housing communities and provides more than 1,300 Housing Choice Vouchers, known as Section 8, which allows low-income families to rent homes in the private market. Section 8 housing is funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, according to the HUD website. The Bloomington HCV waiting list will not be filled on a firstcome, first-served basis. Rather, those seeking a spot on the list will be ordered and ranked by preference points which must then be verified by the family. Preference points are awarded to applicants in order to give priority to serving families that most closely meet that criteria. For example, applicants that reside in Monroe County will receive more preference points than those who reside in a neighboring county. Additionally, victims of domestic violence within the past

their emissions, which Barnes said is a step in the right direction and somewhat of a reason to feel better about these talks. He also said the U.S. and China’s plans are not nearly enough, as they don’t leave room for any other countries to produce carbon emissions. “I’d say on a scale of one to 100, it’s about a two,” he said. Philip Stevens, professor and faculty department chair in environmental science in the School of Public and Environmental Affairs, said the agreements by China and the U.S. are vital steps. “It’s a symbolic and important start because it’s the first time that both the U.S. and China have committed to emission reductions,” he said. A challenge facing the negotiators is deciding when to begin regulating developing nations, since SEE CLIMATE, PAGE 6

six months will receive two preference points, though evidence the family has been displaced as a result of leaving a violent situation must be submitted. Applicants may receive points for the number of hours of work completed each week as well as veteran or disability status. A pre-application will also be used to determine eligibility for the HCV program and placement on the waiting list. The HCV pre-application will be available on the Bloomington Housing Authority website and the authority’s office at 1007 S. Summit St. The applications will be accepted Tuesday mornings from 8 to 11 a.m. and Thursday afternoons from noon to 3 p.m. At the time of application, a government-issued photo ID matching the name of the head of household listed on the application must be presented in order for the application to be accepted. After being submitted, any changes to the document must be submitted in writing to the authority. If the head of household is elderly or disabled, they may complete an affidavit for someone other than the listed head of household to apply on their behalf.
