By Audrey Perkins audperki@indiana.edu | @AudreyNLP
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 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

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

BFC votes on fossil fuel divestment By Ashleigh Sherman aesherma@indiana.edu | @aesherma
The Bloomington Faculty Council addressed fossil fuel divestment at a meeting Tuesday. The BFC voted to endorse an IU Graduate and Professional Student Organization proposal that calls for the IU Foundation to divest from the top 200 fossil fuel companies within the next five years. Brady Harman, GPSO president, and Jeffrey Meek, former GPSO sustainability officer, met with Gary Stratten, IU Foundation vice president and chief investment officer, in March. “Unfortunately, this meeting didn’t go as well as we hoped it would,” Harman said. Harman and Andrew Bredeson, current GPSO sustainability officer will get a second chance to make their case during a conference call with the IU Foundation investment committee Dec. 17. The All University Student Association, the Environmental Management and Sustainable Development Association and the Indiana University East Student Government have already shown their support of the initiatve. The IU-Southeast Student Government, the IU Student Association, the School of Public and Environmental Affair’s Graduate Student Association and the Sustainability Council have also shown their support .

The Bloomington Faculty Council discussed and voted to support the divestment from fossil fuels in the Indiana Memorial Union on Tuesday.
The BFC has now also shown its support of the initiative, adding faculty support to already abundant student support. “We ask IU to be a leader, set an example, protect its investments and do the right thing,” Bredeson said. Dennis Groth, vice provost of undergraduate education and co-chair of the general education committee, and Robert Botne, co-chair of the general education committee, also presented on general education requirements. Of this year’s first-year class, 9.5 percent arrived with sophomore status, up 255 percent from before the implementation of general education requirements, Botne said. Eighteen and a half percent arrived halfway to sophomore status, up 130 percent from before the implementation of general
education requirements, Botne said. Groth addressed concerns that the quality of credit from high school or community college courses does not match the quality of credit of IU-Bloomington courses. “(General education is) something that we saw as a foundational and essential element of the IU experience,” he said. “It really raises the question, can it really be an IU experience if it’s largely taken elsewhere?” Similarly, Groth addressed concerns that the students with lower-level credit from high school or community college courses are not as prepared for higher-level courses as students with lower-level credit from IU-Bloomington courses. “The outcome has shown that there are differences, but not major differences,”
he said. Groth and Judith Ouimet, associate vice provost for curricular development and assessment, also presented about online course questionnaires. Since the partial introduction of online course questionnaires, as opposed to paper questionnaires, response rates from students in large classes have increased, while response rate from students in small classes have decreased. Concern remains that the students responding to the course questionnaires, online or paper, do not accurately represent all students in the class. The students that respond to the course questionnaires tend to receive high or low grades, Ouimet said, whereas the students that don’t respond to the course questionnaires tend to receive average grades.
NEA chair to speak at 2014 winter commencement From IDS reports
The winter commencement address for 2014 will be delivered by IU alumna Jane Chu, the 11th chair of the National Endowment for the Arts. The 2014 winter commencement is scheduled for Dec. 20. Doors will open at 8 a.m., with procession beginning at 9 a.m. and the ceremony scheduled to start at 10 a.m.,
according to an IU news release. “As one of the nation’s top arts leaders, Jane Chu performs a critical role in ensuring Jane Chu the continued support of artistic excellence, creativity and innovation nationwide and helping all of us understand the value and meaning the
arts have in our everyday lives,” IU President Michael McRobbie said in the release. Chu earned her doctorate in philanthropic studies from IU’s Lilly School of Philanthropy at IU-Purdue University Indianapolis, according to the University. Before coming to IU, Chu received a bachelor’s degree in piano performance and music education from Ouachita Baptist University.
Chu was nominated to the NEA by President Obama in February. Before joining the NEA, she served as CEO of the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts in Kansas City, Mo., where she oversaw the $414 million project to build the center that now houses the Kansas City Ballet, Kansas City Symphony and Lyric Opera of Kansas City.

Though preparing for a dynamic and dangerous situation such as an active shooter on campus is extremely difficult, Debbi Fletcher said. The IU-Bloomington campus took another step toward ensuring students’ safety in an active shooter exercise that took place during the recent Thanksgiving break. Fletcher, director of emergency management and continuity for the Bloomington campus, said more than 150 people were involved in the exercise, including both first responders and student volunteers. She said they decided to place the exercise during a break as to avoid disrupting or causing unnecessary concern among students on campus. The first responders consisted of police, firefighters and EMS, as well as campus leadership such as people from Residential Programs and Services, communications and executives within the University, Fletcher said. Along with first responders, students from ROTC programs and Kelley School of Business were actors in the exercise, taking on the roles of those injured, killed and in direct contact with the shooter. At 9:30 a.m. Tuesday Nov. 25, the exercise began at Hodge Hall with a hypothetical situation consisting of a shooter entering the building and opening fire on multiple individuals, she said. Once calls and an IU Notify message went out, police went into the building and shot the shooter, she said. There was only about a three-minute gap between police entry and the securing of the situation. “The polices’ response was really good,” Fletcher said. Because IU is part of the Bloomington community, both IU Police Department and Bloomington Police Department officers were on scene for the exercise, as well as some officers from other jurisdictions, she said. The campus is lucky to have access to this kind of departmental collaboration. The police practice tactical work that ranges from their entry into a building to their approach of the situation at hand, she said. The full scale exercise, involving this incident and then the work necessary to aid the wounded and being an investigation, ended at about noon, Fletcher said. There was even an emergency operations center running at the time. “We were trying to make this as realistic as possible,” she said. Following the exercise,

the participants gathered together and had a debriefing as well as a table top discussion in which they reviewed the exercise’s successes and shortcomings and discussed further what the campus would need to do in the days following a tragedy. “Obviously, we don’t ever want anything like this to happen,” Fletcher said. Overall, she said the exercise went well, but there was room for improvement. “We do always strive to do better,” Fletcher said. Better, in this case, means faster responses and an improved line of communication, Fletcher said. Communication is the most important thing, she added, and possibly one of the easiest things to mess up. People want to know how first responders react in this kind of situation, Fletcher said. Though a large amount of time is dedicated to tactical work, very little is spent on recovery. Not as much time is spent on determining what people will want or need from the University three or 10 days after this kind of tragedy strikes, Fletcher said. This exercise allows IU to determine what needs to be added to training. For example, in this hypothetical situation, a basketball game scheduled for the day of the shooting was supposed to be cancelled, and they realized the necessity of ensuring athletes and ticket holders find out about the situation immediately, she said. This was the first active shooter exercise on Bloomington’s campus, she said. In the past, other full scale exercises have been conducted, and they tend to cycle through what appear to be pressing situations that require this kind of attention, Fletcher said. A lot of things are similar no matter what the emergency is, she said. The situation must be addressed immediately and the people must be protected. Fletcher said some people asked why the exercise wasn’t announced to the general public. That would be because the activity was specifically for the first responders made it more important that they were prepared and present. It also prevented any kind of miscommunication about what could be an extremely serious situation. The focus, she said, is safety and security on campus. Because this was such a dynamic situation, Fletcher said she encourages students to remain informed and go to protect.iu.edu to learn more about this and other dangerous situations.

Krampus comes to town for parade, bazaar By Amanda Marino ammarino@indiana.edu @amandanmarino
In Alpine folklore, while St. Nicholas rewards the good children of the world with gifts, the naughty children are punished by the Krampus, beastly monsters who scare them into good behavior. This year, the Krampus will travel from the Alps to Bloomington to frighten naughty children and adults who brave the parade and Krampus Bazaar Saturday, Krampus Legend and Arts Workshop Director Kel McBride said. There is a lot of history to the lore, she said. The Krampus website refers to the character as the “Christmas devil,” the “dark companion of St. Nicholas.” McBride said she learned about the Krampus for the first time from a friend. “I thought Bloomington would be a great place to
“It’s very familyfriendly,” she said. Those wearing a “nice” sticker will receive candy and treats from St. Nicholas and his angels, while those wearing a “naughty” sticker will be taunted and teased by the prowling Krampus. After the festivities have ended, the Krampus will roam free in Bloomington, sneaking up on unsuspecting people out on the town, according to the Krampus website. “It’s high energy,” McBride said. “It’s wild.” In 2013, about 1,000 guests attended the festivities despite the 15-degree weather and seven inches of snow on the ground, she said. A similar turnout is expected this year. People enjoy the accountability of the legend, McBride said. She said it draws them back every year as a Christmas tradition that both teaches good and bad and provides for a fun
host this tradition,” she said. Bloomington’s Krampus is one of about 20 others that happen nationwide, she said. Several of the other events are conducted by groups more focused on German folklore. Volunteers and Krampus monsters, who McBride said are two very different things, will help run both the Krampus Bazaar and parade. The bazaar is 5:30 to 7 p.m. Saturday in Showers Common. Vendors will sell food and merchandise and performers will roam the streets. The parade begins at 6 p.m. and travels north from Fourth Street to Showers Common on Madison Street, McBride said. People of all ages are welcome to participate in the parade, and each will receive either a “nice” or a “naughty” sticker, McBride said.

night out. “People appreciate that philosophy,” she said. Krampus events will be taking place across the

Eli Lilly and Co. working with AstraZeneca on drug trial From IDS reports
Eli Lilly and Company announced the enrollment of their first patient in a drug trial of a potential new treatment for Alzheimer’s disease Monday.

Under the agreement, Lilly will be in charge of clinical development while AstraZeneca will be in charge of manufacturing. Both will be responsible for commercial-
ization. The two-year treatment period aims to enroll 1,500 patients in 15 countries. Alzheimer’s is fatal and accounts for 60 to 80 percent of dementia cases. An estimated 5 million Americans age 65 or older have Alzheimer’s. Currently, the United States spends around $203 billion a year in direct expenses associated with Alzheimer’s, and that number is expected to grow to more than $1 trillion by 2050.

Low gas prices mean extra savings across United States By Holly Hays hvhays@indiana.edu | @hollyvhays
Noticing cheaper prices at the pump? Nationally, gas prices have been dropping for several months and are expected to continue to do so throughout the holiday season, according to the AAA Daily Fuel Gauge Report. In fact, the national price per gallon average has fallen for 67 consecutive days, amounting to a total drop of 58 cents, according to a press release from AAA. In the last week, the national average has dropped another four cents. The average price is now the lowest it has been since Oct. 7, 2010. Americans who traveled for Thanksgiving purchased gas at the lowest retail
average at Thanksgiving since 2009. The average price per gallon was sitting at $2.74 in Indiana as of Dec. 2, according to Gas Buddy. The average in Monroe County is just slightly higher at $2.77. What kind of savings does all of this add up to? Economists at Goldman Sachs estimate the savings from gas prices thus far are the equivalent of a $75 billion tax cut for U.S. households, according to a report from Market Watch. For the average family, that means saving anywhere from $700 to $1,100 a year if petroleum prices maintain their current levels. This is due to a continued drop in oil prices that began in June, hitting a fiveyear low — and prices might
go lower. If petroleum prices remain at about $60 a barrel, the price of regular gas could fall within $2 to $2.50 at the pump, which would mean big savings for families, according to the Market Watch report. The typical family purchases about 1,200 gallons of gas per year, and if gas averages $2.80 per gallon, that means up to $700 in annual savings. If gas prices continue to fall and reach $2.50, that total could increase to $1,100 in savings. Need more context? If the price of a chicken burrito from Chipotle is about $6.44 — without guacamole — that means drivers could save up to the equivalent of nearly 171 burritos. That’s a lot of beans.

‘Hands up, don’t shoot’
ELISA SHRACK is a senior in human development
LEXIA BANKS is a junior in journalism.
“Hands up, don’t shoot” became the unifying cry of every Ferguson protester after 18-year-old Michael Brown was fatally shot by police officer Darren Wilson. It was allegedly what Brown cried as he was shot down: “My hands are up, don’t shoot.” Whether marching down the streets of Ferguson, Mo., or around downtown Indianapolis, you’ve heard the phrase or seen it online, even read it on Tshirts. Even some St. Louis Rams players walked out onto the field with their hands up, a sign of solidarity with the protestors. You could also read it on signs displayed on Indianapolis City-County Councilmen’s seats during the Aug. 18 council meeting, according to an Indianapolis Star report. While some might have found the signs supportive or endearing, some chose to find offense in them and decided to raise a complaint. Republican Councilman Jack Sandlin noticed the signs on five other council members’ seats and found them disrespectful toward police. He claimed City of Indianapolis employees and residents found them offensive. And so to protect their delicate sensibilities, he authored an ordinance to ban the signs from the council dais. However, his views were not shared by his colleagues. Sandlin’s fellow council members called the ban an “unwarranted attack” on the First Amendment and asked just what about the signs was offensive, according to the Star. Monroe Gray Jr. was one of the five council members who displayed the sign. In its defense he said he didn’t find it any more offensive than “some of the votes Sandlin had taken that evening,” according to the Star. In the end, the ordinance was defeated in a 20-8 vote. “Hands up, don’t shoot” is not an insult to police, though I can see where Sandlin would get that idea. Ferguson has brought up many questions about the ethical procedures of police forces and concerns of police brutality and racism in the justice system. People, especially those of color, have lost trust in those who are supposed to protect the public. And as more bodies of unarmed black men hit the ground, the anxiety and distrust grows and has evolved into acts of violence. “Hands up, don’t shoot” is not causing these issues — it’s drawing attention to them. The fact that a black man or woman feels it is necessary to hold their hands up in the air and chant this line while crossing a street in order to keep their life casts a dark shadow on the state of our country. Our people don’t feel safe, and that’s the meaning behind “hands up, don’t shoot.” Instead of taking offense to this phrase, Sandlin should recognize it as an inspiration to make sure people in his state never feel the same way again. lnbanks@indiana.edu

The first rule of gun club WE SAY: Stop glamorizing weapon ownership There is a country club in Centennial, Colo., where rich people may pay to enjoy cigars, drink fancy cocktails and relax on leather sofas. They also shoot guns for sport. The New York Times reported last week that members sometimes pay upward of $10,000 to enjoy the luxury of a country club with firearms. At these establishments, many members stop by for lunch and target practice before heading back to work. Some establishments even offer enclosed safaris. Leave it to the wealthy to turn something once used only for war or survival into a “sexy” sport for the elite. Glamorizing weapon ownership is not only irresponsible but just plain nonsensical in nature. Owning a gun is not something that should be cool or exciting or even interesting. Gun ownership is a serious responsibility and requires the utmost care, attention and safety. In reality, owning a gun is the right of every American under the Second Amendment in the United States Con-
stitution. However, with that right comes an understanding that we must treat guns with the respect they deserve, meaning we have to be careful. By essentially fetishizing gun ownership, the rich elite are supporting the idea that gun ownership does not come with responsibility but rather glamour and an easygoing lifestyle. Now, is it the fault of these people for wanting to join a gun club? Absolutely not. The concept of gun clubs within itself is detrimental to the culture of the United States. It’s important to note the Indiana Daily Student Editorial Board is not opposed to the Second Amendment or gun ownership in general. We are opposed to anything that threatens the lives, safety or protection of others. And by degrading the idea that gun ownership is a serious responsibility to take on, these gun clubs are telling children and adults alike that handling a gun is the “cool” thing to do. It’s telling millions of Americans that
having and shooting a gun is a privilege that is accompanied by expensive cigars and liquor. We live in a society that has a problem with mass shootings and gun violence in general. Part of this problem is undoubtedly rooted in the carelessness many have embraced when it comes to owning, operating and storing firearms. Lowering gun violence ought to be a priority of all citizens. This means that all citizens ought to treat firearms as what they are — dangerous weapons designed to kill living creatures. No matter how fancy you dress up while you shoot or how expensive your membership fee is, a gun is a deadly weapon that people use to slaughter others every single year in this country. Gun clubs do nothing but treat them as toys that the rich are privileged to play with. Spend your money how you like, but don’t make light of the weapon you are holding.
AN EMMA DILEMMA
Who are you calling ‘politically challenged?’ A student organization called Politech, based out of Texas Tech University, went out on its home campus a few weeks ago to see how politically and culturally savvy students were in a video called “Politically Challenged: Texas Tech Edition.” The video quickly went viral, with upward of 1 million views on YouTube. The group asked students from a variety of majors questions such as “Who won the Civil War?” and “Who is the vice president?” The students interviewed couldn’t answer most political questions, but they did know to whom Brad Pitt is married. While the video is upbeat in tempo and the students appear to be having a good time, for many it seemed to be a confirmation of just how stupid millennials are, and I have a problem with that. It is reminiscent of the
Jimmy Kimmel videos that attempt to catch people unaware with questions that are not often asked on subjects that are not often thought about. The Jimmy Kimmel videos even had similar questions about Joe Biden (the answer to “Who is the vice president?” in case you weren’t sure). Of course these videos wouldn’t show the people who got the questions right, only the seven or eight who got them wrong and couldn’t answer. Moreover, on Texas Tech’s campus of just fewer than 40,000, I find it hard to believe all of the people interviewed don’t know who the vice president is. These sorts of videos promote a sense of superiority that I react very strongly against. I don’t like walking around feeling like I’m smarter than most, and I don’t like people feeling su-
perior to me because it prevents growth and creates barriers between groups of people. And it seemed quite a few of the students in the video actually knew the answers to the questions, even though they had trouble recalling the answers initially. Making other people feel stupid excludes them from learning and stunts the growth of an individual to cater to the entertainment of an audience. It promotes the idea that younger people are inherently more culturally and politically clueless, which is not true. If we want to look at basic numbers, 75 percent of the freshmen admitted to Texas Tech were in the top 50 percent of their high school classes, according to collegedata.com. The average GPA of an IU freshman is 3.62.
EMMA WENNINGER is a junior in English.
I don’t think the video was necessarily made to humiliate other students but to simply see how much people knew. But the reaction to the video is wrong. College students are not focused on who the vice president is. Generally saying young people and millennials are stupid because they can’t answer questions on things they are not focused on is demonstrative of poor critical analysis on the part of the viewers. College students are not stupid. There is a desire to learn on campus. There is intelligence on campus. And we all know who won the Civil War, so relax. ewenning@indiana.edu

Congressional aide Elizabeth Lauten has resigned from her position after posting online complaints about the demeanor of President Obama’s daughters, Malia, 16, and Sasha, 13, and I absolutely think she should. She attempted to chastise the two girls online by saying their behavior during Obama’s turkey pardoning speech was less than appropriate for a formal event. The two girls appeared to look rather bored during Obama’s speech and seemed to be exchanging looks that looked as if they did not support what their father was saying, or at least were not interested in it. In her posts, Lauten said Malia and Sasha needed to “act like being in the White House matters to you.” Lauten needs to understand the Obama girls are simply teenagers and not solely political figures. The president’s children should not be held to the same standards as his cabinet members. Yes, they must act appropriately, but it’s hardly surprising that they looked less than enthusiastic during a speech that was not politically charged. While her observations of the girls’ less-thanenthusiastic expressions may have been correct, she failed to see the girls as teenagers, teenagers who are not particularly intrigued by speeches composed of some cheesy jokes about turkey. Really, who is? It is not exactly right that they didn’t look happy to be there. However, it is completely understandable why they would not feel very excited about the event. And the allegations that their behavior somehow undermined Obama’s speech is the media grasping at straws. Malia and Sasha did not choose to be in a political family. They were born into one. Because of their lack of control in their situation and their age, they do not deserve to be criticized. Their age and typical behavior should not be the center of political criticism. If their behavior is to be discussed at all, the fact they appear to be like many other teenagers should be appreciated. Having family members of the president behave like typical teenagers makes the family seem more relatable. The pressure these girls are under, only because of their father’s political status, needs to be acknowledged as well. They have countless events to attend and likely have to handle many security issues. On top of these pressures, they carry the responsibilities of any typical teenager, such as doing well in school and extracurricular activities. Taking all of this into account, if the girls do not appear to be enthusiastic about standing in front of the media while their father talks about turkey, it is understandable. Malia and Sasha are the daughters of the president. They have enough pressure. Let the teenagers be teenagers. Do not criticize them as if they are political figures. eshrack@indiana.edu

WHIZZES AND BANGS
The growth of chick lit I’ve been known to be a bit of a book snob. My literary roots — i.e. my major is English and all I do is read — have given me some sort of complex where I think certain books are beneath me. Much of my scorn has been directed toward popular series such as “Twilight,” “Fifty Shades of Grey,” “The Hunger Games” trilogy and the like. I find myself instinctively rolling my eyes whenever these books come up in conversation. I’m not exactly sure what it is about these books that I find so off-putting, but I think it has something to do with the commercialization and them being mainstream. But my real enemy in the world of books has always been chick lit. For those who don’t already know, chick lit is a fictional genre that addresses modern womanhood, usually with humor or some lightheartedness. Chick lit has always been full of annoying tropes such as the overbearing mother or the overweight and funny friend. It all seemed so regressive to me. By that I mean it seemed as if chick lit novels were casting women back into definitive and weak gender roles. It was as if the chick lit novel were undoing all the hard work and social reform that was achieved through each of the feminist movements and encouraging women to have low selfesteem and lack confidence in their bodies and sexuality. However, during the course of the semester, I have done a great deal of research on chick lit novels and female representation. My findings have shown me a new perspective on chick lit, a perspective that allows me to appreciate the work the writers are doing. Chick lit developed out of the need for girls and young

women to learn about their bodies and sexuality. In the 20th century, there were many more freedoms for women in terms of their bodies and sexual expression, but it was a topic that was nearly impossible to discuss. As a result, many young women growing up didn’t know what to expect as their bodies changed and they sexually matured. As a response to this, female authors began writing first-person narrative novels so young women could easily relate to the characters and learn from their experiences within the novel. With the progression of time and the development and expansion of the chick lit genre, there has been a shift to addressing the same issues with humor and a certain lightheartedness that makes the issues far less daunting than they would be in a more “sophisticated” piece of writing. I’ve realized chick lit doesn’t put women in inferior roles to undo feminism but rather chick lit places women in these situations so the everyday reader can easily relate to the characters and their problems and make light of things that have no substance, such as calorie counting or worrying about being forever alone. The chick lit genre has a lot to offer a reader, and I admit to having judged too soon. It might not be “sophisticated” like many of the pieces I tend to be drawn to, but chick lit has a way of dissecting social issues with humor and making them relatable to a broad audience, and that is to be commended. johnstra@indiana.edu
MIND THE GAP
Good cop, bad cop I’ve spoken to an on-duty police officer maybe three times in my life. Each time was a traffic stop. Outside those 15 minutes, my primary understanding of the police comes from television. And let me tell you, broadcast news and cop dramas are telling two starkly different tales. If you’re only watching the dramas, you’re sure to get the wrong impression. More and more police officers can be heard bemoaning the public’s distaste for them. On the website policeone. com, “The One resource for Law Enforcement online,” columns questioning “Why are cops so easy to hate?” and “Are America’s officers at war?” engage with a real fear that uniformed police officers are now subject to systematic and overt discrimination. It’s a feeling that’s hard for me to understand when shows such as “NCIS” have dominated television ratings for years and “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” won two Golden Globes. In the world of scripted television, law enforcement officers are likable and attractive. They’re moody and clever with a thirst for justice. And they’ll do anything — anything — to catch their man. These are the rogue agents we root for, often at the expense of anything resembling protocol or rule of law. Imagine a stark interrogation room. Two police officers, or whatever unlikely cop-civilian duo is popular this week, are asking the tough questions. They have the perp right where they want them, until she says those words deadly to an investigation, “I’m not talking until I see my lawyer.” In real life, this request should cease questioning until an attorney is present. In TV land it’s a suggestion that’s usually ignored, followed by a tearful confession. Picture the same scene, but the investigators are getting a little hot under the collar. Their suspect won’t talk, even though they know he

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
The state as stay Puft Marshmallow Man I’m usually pretty optimistic about the day after tomorrow, but sometimes when I get depressed by NSA surveillance, drones and the corporate state’s manufactured aura of inevitability, I need a story to cheer me up. Here it is: A Canadian artist copyrighted his land as a work of art to thwart construction of the Northern Gateway Pipeline across it. Think about it: “Intellectual property” is the single most important stateenforced monopoly at the core of corporate capitalism. And here’s a guy using it to sabotage a pipeline, which exemplifies the other major structural component of state capitalism: massive state subsidies and land theft to promote energy and other extractive industries. He’s using state capitalism to fight state capitalism. I’m still laughing. Sometimes the capitalist state’s internal rules and procedures, created to serve an economic ruling class, in specific cases wind up sabotaging the very interests they were created to serve. Much like the Catholic doctrine of concupiscence (the “war within my members” St. Paul wrote about), the legal framework and administrative

knows something. So, they decide to beat it out of him. Yeah, that’s not allowed either. And of course, every once in a while an agent goes rogue, with little evidence and even less legal standing, and takes out the bad guy by any means necessary. Even though our protagonists blatantly flout protocol, we cheer for them. They’re good. They’re just. They’re our friends we check in with every week. Of course, more nuanced portrayals of the police do exist, but let’s be honest: comparatively few people are lying in bed bingewatching “The Wire.” In the real world, there’s a reason rules exist. We can’t trust a writer’s room to assign benevolent goodness to anyone in uniform. Instead we’re stuck with real people. People who get tired. People who make mistakes. People who are not morally incorruptible. People who break protocol, not always in the name of justice. People whose interpretation of justice strays from yours or mine. But these shows ask us to blindly trust law enforcement, and some of us do. Those of us who don’t interact with police very much sometimes let this blind trust bleed into real life — the police must have had a good reason to shoot 12-year-old Tamir Rice within seconds of arriving on the scene. Eric Garner must have done something to deserve a deadly chokehold. We don’t have a script to make sense of the Daniel Holtzclaws of the world, a policeman who sexually abused 13 women. We have an extensive propaganda machine telling us not to worry, because the boys in blue are on our side. Often that’s the case. But when it isn’t, people are left with little recourse. casefarr@indiana.edu
machinery created to maintain capitalism takes on a life and internal logic of their own. Or if you’re more familiar with Ghostbusters, when the destructor assumes a form it’s limited by all the weaknesses the laws of its own nature impose on that form. Authoritarian hierarchies will die because they’re built on conflict of interest. They can’t trust their subordinates with discretion to use their own judgment or situational knowledge, so they create standard operating procedures, “best practices” and Weberian work rules that degrade everybody’s effectiveness. In order to limit the discretion of subordinates to harm the system, they must limit their discretion to use their own knowledge most effectively. The system doesn’t know what the system knows; the whole is less than the sum of its parts. At the same time, as Vinay Gupta once argued, the same kind of internal concupiscence, or what psychologists call “cognitive dissonance,” means subordinates carrying out the system’s dirty work cannot be trusted with full
awareness of the real nature of what they’re doing and the purposes they serve. And many of those who suspect the nature of the system suppress their knowledge for their own peace of mind, as a defense mechanism that enables them to keep doing their jobs. The networked resistance, on the other hand, is made up of people who fully understand the nature of the system they’re fighting and that of the system they’re trying to supplant it with. We fight a system whose very nature is defined by exploitation, extraction and conflict of interest, which can therefore only function by deceiving its component members, threatening them with force or impeding their use of their own full knowledge and judgement. We, on the other hand, fight to supplant it with a system based on reciprocity, solidarity and self-determination and on the willing and fully informed participation of everyone involved. Who will win? It’s no contest. Kevin Carson Center for a Stateless Society
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Saudi Arabia versus the Keystone Pipeline Wow, I had barely recommended repealing the laws that restrict United States oil exports as part of an overall ramping up of competition in global oil markets when news hit that the Saudis were cutting the price of oil shipped to the U.S. The price of oil has been zigzagging downward since then — much to the benefit and delight of American motorists, who have seen gasoline prices fall and to the angst of oil producers as lower prices squeeze profit margins. Some may think that the Saudis are targeting American producers by cutting the price of crude oil shipped to the States even as they raised their price to Asian markets where the supply/demand balance is more in the Saudis’ favor. However, Stansberry and Associates resource analyst Matt Badiali points out the sour crude that the Saudis are shipping here doesn’t compete directly with the light sweet crude coming out of American shale. The Saudis are competing with Canadian producers to whom, as Badiali shows, they have been losing market
share. Of course, there are multiple factors here which make predicting the long term problematic: How much longer can the Saudis maintain their rate of production? How fast are the Canadians achieving economies of scale and advancing along the learning curve to reduce the cost of extracting oil from tar sands? Can the Saudis make up in increased sales volume the profits that they lose as the price of oil declines? What geopolitical events might throw a monkey wrench into the Saudis’ strategy? Indeed, the Saudi decision to drive down oil prices in North America means that the future prospects for the economic viability of the Keystone project need to be reexamined. President Obama has stubbornly refused to give the green light to Keystone. Wouldn’t it be ironic if, after squandering so much political capital on his obstructionist position, it turns out that market prices kill or continue to delay the project? So, what now?
Should the Keystone Pipeline be built? That’s not for me to say and, frankly, I don’t see the future clearly enough to know whether it will be economically viable in the coming years. Policy-wise, the president should simply get out of the way, call off his regulatory dogs, tell his green constituents to sit on it, and let entrepreneurs decide what risks they wish to incur. If they build it and lose money, well, it’s their money that’s being lost. The oil market is working. We consumers — thus, society as a whole — are benefiting. In the competitive scramble to serve us, some producers will succeed while others fail. We should be grateful for them all, winners and losers, for each one of them, in their attempt to earn profits by supplying our needs, has added to the competitive pressures that have pushed down oil prices. The cheaper oil gets, the more our prosperity will increase. Dr. Mark W. Hendrickson The Center for Vision and Values
GUEST COLUMN
A step forward on countering global warming Global warming talks in Paris next year have a better chance of reaching a productive conclusion now that the two biggest economies in the world, which also happen to be the two biggest climate polluters, have promised to curb greenhouse gases dramatically by 2030. But the questions other nations will be asking as they analyze the forwardlooking agreement reached by President Obama and China’s President Xi Jinping are exactly how they intend to achieve these ambitious goals and, indeed, whether they will be able to carry out their promises. The latter question applies especially to Obama, who already faces opposition to the deal from Republican lawmakers, who will soon control both houses of Congress. Though the president has been accelerating the nation’s battle against climate change, particularly targeting emissions from coal plants, there are limits to what he can achieve through executive action without cooperation
from Congress. What’s more, there are no guarantees that future presidents will adhere to his nonbinding commitments. It is in ways easier for China, which is now by far the biggest emitter of greenhouse gases, to meet its goals. The country is already under pressure from its own citizens to clean up its terrible air pollution problems. It has been building solar energy capacity at a fast pace, so meeting its goal of 20 percent renewable power by 2030 should be achievable. It would also have to cap greenhouse gas emissions by that year. Xi also has more flexibility than Obama; China is not a democratic power, which means that Xi doesn’t contend with term limits or open elections. That might not make for good government, but it does make his job easier. On this side of the Pacific Ocean, incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who represents the coalproducing state of Kentucky, already is complaining that China doesn’t have
to do anything for 16 years under the deal, while the U.S. is making more immediate commitments. That’s neither fair nor accurate. It will take tremendous planning for China, which has been increasing its reliance on coal along with its commitment to solar, to start applying the brakes to that momentum. Conservative Republicans seem to see the battle against climate change as a costly and unnecessary war on cheap and plentiful energy. Then, of course, there’s Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., who has called the very idea of man-made climate change a hoax, and who is about to take the chairmanship of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. In truth, there is a dollar cost either way, and studies estimate that the price of ignoring climate change — in the form of flood, drought, crop loss and so forth — is far higher than that of doing something about it.

an 81-69 victory in the ACC/ Big Ten Challenge. Crean had repeatedly stressed the importance of rebounding against Pittsburgh, calling the Panthers one of the country’s premier teams on the glass. On Tuesday, IU allowed those offensive rebounds but kept the overall margin close — 36 rebounds to Pittsburgh’s 44. “Our numbers weren’t reflective of how hard we worked on the backboards, but the points in the paint certainly were,” Crean said. He added that much of his team’s success in the paint came by way of unlocking Pittsburgh’s 2-3 zone. In recent seasons, IU has struggled to score against zone defenses. IU’s 2013 NCAA Tournament loss to Syracuse is the most prevalent example. On Tuesday, the Hoosiers appeared unfazed by the Panthers’ zone, finding their way to the basket with ease. Crean said his team’s willingness to move the ball and the threat of outside shooting were the keys to finding success against the zone. The extra passes worked. IU, the nation’s 208th tallest team, according to kenpom. com, scored 48 points in the paint against Pittsburgh, who ranks No. 19 in height.
Assembly Hall. “I guess it just came out of the blue,” Holt said. “Tonight, my team did a great job finding me in the alley ... I was there open.” Holt checked in a little more than four minutes into the game after junior forward Hanner MosqueraPerea picked up his second early foul. He was slow to adjust into the game but soon found himself frequently around the ball. Holt gave IU a 25-20 lead when he skied for an offensive rebound, turned across the lane and laid the ball in while drawing a foul. He connected on the ensuing free throw to complete a three-point play. Just a few possessions later, Holt cut along the baseline to catch a pass from freshman guard Rob Johnson. Holt gathered his composure, pump-faked and finished with a layup and converted another and-1 opportunity. Holt finished the night 3-of-4 from the free-throw line. “Certainly Emmitt did a fantastic job tonight,” Crean said. “Emmitt’s gaining confidence and I think that’s the huge thing because he just didn’t have the game experience.” Holt’s IU career began surrounded by controversy and a four-game suspension after his involvement in a Nov. 1 car accident that sent sophomore forward Devin Davis to the hospital with a serious head injury. Off the court, coaches and teammates have said Holt has struggled to deal with the incident. Holt said he has learned from what happened on Halloween night. Part of what helped him the most was the support from Davis’ family. “The first thing (Devin Davis’ parents) did was forgive me,” Holt said. “That was the biggest thing for me ... From then to now, I think I’ve made tremendous

Freshman forward Emmit Holt has his shot contested during IU's game against the Panthers on Tuesday at Assembly Hall. Holt finished with 15 points and five rebounds in the win.
“Tonight their zone was extended,” Crean said. “We were able to get it inside because of that extension, and that’s where having really good shooters comes in. They couldn’t stay back at the three-point line because of those guys...The ball never stopped all night.” The emergence of freshman forward Emmitt Holt helped the Hoosiers dominate the interior. In 19 minutes off the bench, Holt scored a teamhigh 15 points on 6-of-6 shooting, adding five rebounds and two blocks. Only three other Hoosiers scored in double figures, with
freshman guard James Blackmon, Jr. and junior guard Kevin “Yogi” Ferrell tallying 13 and 11 points, respectively. Sophomore forward Troy Williams scored 10 points. Freshman guard Robert Johnson once again contributed aside from scoring, adding nine assists and three rebounds to his six points. On the defensive end of the floor, IU used a zone defense of its own to stifle Pittsburgh. With leading scorer Michael Young relegated to the bench because of foul trouble, the Panthers’ offense slowed to a crawl in the first half.
Pittsburgh shot just 36 percent from the field. Johnson said it was a change in effort levels that made IU’s defense so effective tonight. “I think it all started when we picked up the intensity,” he said. “That’s one thing we talked about, coming out early and setting the tone as far as defensive intensity.” Crean said he’ll use the win as a teaching point, but he doesn’t believe it’s a sign his team has turned a corner. “I don’t know if you can say that with youth,” Crean said. “I think you keep holding them accountable. I think they see it more and more.”
effect for 20 to 30 years, which he feels is too far off. “I’ve got three daughters and a grandson, and I really do worry,” he said. Stevens said he firmly believes it is never too late, but the sooner emissions begin to lower, the better. He said the temperature is going to rise, but it is a question of how much we limit the effects of this change, such as extreme weather and rising sea levels. Other challenges facing the movement away from fossil fuels are the uncontrollable market forces driving prices, he said. The price of oil is falling. “Now that it’s dropping, there is some concern that
people will not be buying hybrids or using public transportation as much,” he said. The largest source of emissions is the burning of coal for electricity. He said that, ideally, people would move from coal to natural gas and from natural gas to renewable energy. “I don’t see any silver bullets,” he said. “I think the people that have pushed for there to be increased use of alternative renewable fuels are taking steps in the right direction.” Both Stevens and Barnes acknowledged that it can be challenging to pass legislation on the issue of climate change because many people still doubt the science.
Stevens said the discussion has become too much about politics when it should be about science. Stevens said it is important that students and young people educate themselves on climate change. He said change takes time and an educated public is the best way to spur a government into action. “I was always hopeful that my generation would be the one to do something about it, but it looks less and less likely that my generation is going to be able to do something about it, and that means most of the impacts are going to be felt by your generation and your children’s generation,” he said.
progress.” On the court, the suspension put him even further behind in his development, which was already stunted considering he didn’t join the program until mid-August. Tuesday was only the fifth game Holt was active. Entering the game, Holt had played just 17 minutes all season. Against the Panthers, he played 19 minutes, 12 of which came in the first half. Crean was emotional talking about Holt. He paused for five to 10 seconds at a time as he gathered his composure and thoughts before answering questions. He said after the accident, IU’s staff didn’t allow Holt out of their sights for 48 hours unless he was in the shower or using the restroom. Less than five weeks later, he was on the floor leading the team. “I look at him and I think he’s out there playing hard, and I see Devin there who wants to play so bad,” Crean said, holding back tears. “I think they’ve learned when something’s taken away that they haven’t had taken away, they’re going to have to respond to that.” With Mosquera-Perea, IU’s only experienced true post player, the question surrounding IU throughout preseason and in the early games is where IU will go next. Whether or not Holt inevitably is that second post option remains to be seen. But as of Tuesday night, Crean has shown he’s confident enough to let him try. “We had not seen Emmitt quite like that,” Crean said. “That’s a pretty good Emmitt right there.” The last month has been a process of steps forward for Holt. Basketball is a way for him to heal. When he brought up the Davis family forgiving him, a reporter asked about another person needing to be forgiven. “Have you forgiven yourself?” Holt was asked. Holt didn’t hesitate. “Yeah.”

McCraney’s play follows protagonist Oya, played by IU alumna Patricia Millard, as she pursues her goal to become a track star while navigating the complex path to adulthood. Director David Koté said he chose this show because of a positive experience with author McCraney when Koté taught at a high school in Atlanta a few years back. Koté said he originally wanted to take his students to see the show at Alliance Theatre, but were unable to attend. “Tarell McCraney came and spoke to my students as part of community outreach,” Koté said. “What happened is, my students were supposed to go to a matinee at the theater but weren’t able to make it out to the show. (McCraney) had the cast come to the school and do the show for my students.” Koté said some of the actors in that production were alumni of the high school, making it all the more relatable for his students. “It made the play resonate more because you took it out of the elements of theatrical space and did it in this high school,” Koté said. Koté said this is his first main-stage show, though he has directed other IU productions before. He said his greatest hope is the production attracts both aficionados and those new to theater because of its nontraditional approach to a classic plot. “The show is kind of an interesting play because it’s something in a different kind of way,” Koté said. “To tell a story that you don’t normally see here, it’s got the draw to the theater who wouldn’t normally come because they see something that’s reflective of their experience. Basically, (the goal is) to bring a different theatrical experience to the IU stage.” Koté said he also wants both the cast and theatergoers to truly connect with Oya through the successes and struggles. “I think just the show is an opportunity for the actors and the audience to kind of come together in a place that makes the theater come alive with energy,” Koté said. “Theater is best when audience gets to be part of the storyteller.”
Oya, left, played by Patricia Millard, performs with Shango, played by Ian Martin, during the dress rehearsal of “In the Red and Brown Water” on Monday.
Choreographer Kenneth Roberson said he always has fun throughout the show process: teaching, learning and even the hiccups along the way. He couldn’t pinpoint just one “favorite” aspect of the show. “My favorite part of anything is the process,” Roberson said. “Working with this young director who is so passionate and has so much knowledge about this piece, it’s really not a traditional work. It speaks to such young characters. It’s just so different than anything I’ve done. But the process is still the process. The journey always excites me.” Roberson, who has worked around the globe and on Broadway productions for the past 20 years, said he came to IU to help inspire young thespians to embrace their creative potential. “I felt this aching that I needed to share my experience with young people at this age and I needed to obtain a little more structure in my life as an artist and everything converged and led for me to come here,” Roberson said. Roberson said everyone should come see this production because it bridges the gap between theater and life.
“INTO THE RED AND BROWN WATER” 7:30 p.m. Friday, Saturday Wells-Metz Theatre “It’s theater like no one has ever thought about,” Roberson said. “The way it’s staged, the way it’s written: it speaks to the youth. It will speak to young, college-age students and college-age lovers of new frontiers. If people feel that they are not into coming to theater, coming to drama, this would change their mind.” Junior Yusuf Agunbiade plays Elegba in the show. He said aspects of the show look through a different cultural lens than other IU productions. “The play is molded in a sense of theatricality, reminding the audience that they are a part of the theatrical experience,” Agunbiade said. “The play heavenly incorporates traditional Yoruba beliefs, given that all of the characters are representations of deities or facets of the Yoruba culture.” The Yoruba originate from southwestern SEE WATER, PAGE 8

John Waldron opens December exhibits By Alison Graham akgraham@indiana.edu @AlisonGraham218
Ben Pines trekked to the fields more than 15 times this past spring. Armed with a portable easel, paints, a canvas and a bottle of water, he climbed the steep hill on 14th and 15th streets to paint outdoors in the fields of Bloomington. “When I first came to Bloomington, I thought it was neat that just on the other side of the train tracks there were open fields,” Pines said. “They’re really peaceful and a nice place to be. It’s not like where I’m from.” After multiple journeys to the fields of Bloomington and other locations around town, Pines has 37 paintings of the city. All 37 can be seen in the Ivy Tech John Waldron Arts Center’s December exhibits, which open this Friday. The John Waldron is opening four new galleries that will be on display from Friday to Dec. 27. The four new galleries include printmaking work by IU art students, photos from the IU Neuro-Imaging Group, sculptural pieces by local artist Lance Pruitt and Pines’ landscapes. The December show is Pines’ first all-landscape exhibit. “I want for people to enjoy the landscape as I do,” he said. “It’s a great feature of living in Bloomington. We have so much natural beauty here.” Pines said he often walks around the tailgate fields and the beautiful homes around the city and on campus, seeing trash and waste all over them. The nature of Bloomington is something that is often taken for granted, especially with the beauty just beyond the

Nigeria and southern Benin and they are one of the most populous ethnic groups in Africa. Junior Kevin Renn said the tale also includes a romantic subplot in which his character is caught in the middle. “I play Ogun and I’ve known (Oya) for a long time and I’m trying to get her interested in me, in a way, and there’s sort of a love triangle
railroad tracks and so close to downtown, Pines said. Although he thinks of these ideas while he is painting, he isn’t necessarily trying to put these themes in his paintings for viewers. “Nature is still strong and vital here,” Pines said. “I just hope they will get a feeling of freedom and enjoyment and want to enjoy the paintings more.” Each of Pines’s landscapes are available for purchase, as well as some of the prints in the exhibit by IU students. Printmaking student Jason Wonnell is exhibiting nine pieces in the December show. He has a number of twodimensional, framed prints, as well as larger sculptural pieces. One piece is what appears to be a pallet of boxes but is actually one large cube made of plywood. Although the piece looks like a pallet of individual commercial boxes, it is one single object. Wonnell also posted commercial advertising slogans on top of landscape-style paintings. “I’m trying to strip away literal signifiers of what the product may actually be,” he said. “I’m trying to accentuate an innate understanding we have in our culture about design tendencies and the world around us.” His theme of commercialism extends into his work that shows large woodcut, cartoon hands he displays on the wall. The hands can be associated with cursors on computers or directional signs you see in airports, for example. “The idea is about agency and authority and the idea that we take orders and directions easier from something that is not a threat to us and something that is cartoony,” he said.

between Ogun, Oya and Shango, who is played by Ian Martin,” Renn said. “My character in this, I’m very enthralled by her and wanting her affection.” Renn said he had not read the script before deciding to audition, and advises any prospective audience members to come in without any preconceptions. “This is one of those shows that, it’s very beautiful to read but it’s even more beautiful to see on stage,” Renn said. “A lot of people I know have
not read the production. They want to go in with an open mind because there’s a lot to it. It’s a very complex show. There’s nothing subtle about this show whatsoever.” One of the challenges Agunbiade said he faced was breaking from the traditional realist approach to storytelling and fully immerse in the spiritual approach. “I think one of the big challenges that I, as well as the cast, have found with this play is that it doesn’t follow the common structure of lots

But Wonnell added the human aspect back into the pieces by including wrinkles and knuckles, making them more life-like. Wonnell said he has always been fascinated by the way consumerism and symbols play a larger role in our lives, which served as the inspiration for his work in the exhibit. Second-year printmaking master of fine arts student Raphael Cornford is also displaying work in the printmaking exhibit. He is showing about nine pieces, most of them etchings with big stripes of colors, he said. His pieces are meant to explore the in-between times we experience in life, which was inspired while standing at a bus stop one afternoon. “You’re not doing anything there,” he said. “You’re just waiting for something else. It explores what it means to want to go somewhere but not actually going there.” The project first began as a stop motion animation but eventually turned into an etching project. The big jump in media was a challenge for Cornford, who had to decide what the best medium for his theme would be. “Hopefully it provokes for viewers a human moment when they think about that time,” he said. “What it’s like to be in those in-between times.” The John Waldron will host an opening reception from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday in the gallery space. The event and exhibits are free and open to the public.
It’s normal for my boyfriend to watch porn a few times a week, right? I feel like I am overreacting to it. I feel more insecure about my body, but sometimes I think maybe it’s more of a trust thing ... like I am worried he is cheating because he is watching this when I am not around. But I know he is home every night with me, he always tells me he loves me and he enjoys spending time with me. I worry that it’s going to interfere in our personal life. Should I be worried? Some people don’t like porn and never watch it. Others rarely watch. Some like porn and watch on occasion or even regularly. Some people integrate porn into their relationships in positive ways and others don’t. This suggests it’s not porn itself that’s the problem but how people feel about it and do or don’t talk with their partner about it. For example, you mentioned your boyfriend watches porn a few times a week, but you also said he watches porn when you’re not around. So how do you know he watches it a few times a week? If he knows you don’t
like porn and as a result he only watches it in private when you are not there, he may be trying to be sensitive to your feelings and keep it away from you. He gets to enjoy porn (likely as a part of his masturbation) and you don’t have to watch it or hear it or otherwise be exposed to it. As long as you don’t quiz him about his private porn watching or masturbation details, it doesn’t have to be a part of your life. The fact that your boyfriend loves you, spends time with you and is home with you are all good signs of a healthy relationship. If you can express your insecurities and concerns with him, without making him feel guilty, those are also parts of a healthy relationship. If you have concerns he is cheating, I’d encourage you to ask yourself why. If the only reason you are worried he is cheating is because he watches porn, then rest assured that watching porn is not a sign of cheating. On the other hand, maybe you’re worried about cheating because you’ve been cheated on in the past, or because one or both of your parents cheated or because

of other plays, it being that it’s not molded in complete realism, rather it’s a mixture of that, spiritualism and theatricality,” Agunbiade said. Renn said his greatest challenge was connecting with his character’s true motivations and internal struggles, but motivation from Koté to look within helped him reach that understanding. “David Koté, our director, has been really pounding on us to really think about your character and what they want
and what they’re trying to go after,” Renn said. “He makes you really rethink the play. And if you can’t figure it out and ask him, he’ll say ‘You have to figure it out yourself.’ It’s really fun when it just dawns on you. You’re like, ‘OK, now I get it.’” Agunbiade said the experience has increased his teamwork skills and made him a stronger actor in the process. He looks to an old adage for what he hopes people take away from this production.
“There’s a saying that you’ll understand Shakespeare more when it’s performed rather than reading the play by yourself,” Agunbiade said. “I believe this play adheres to that notion a little bit. In order to fully experience this play, one needs to see it staged, one needs to see it in full production, because generally the playwright writes the play with the intention of it being produced. The production is the final ingredient.”

you’ve seen it happen often enough in your friend group or in the movies. If any of these are the case, try talking with your boyfriend about your insecurities and what could help you to feel more confident in your relationship. Finally, if porn use is truly a deal breaker for you but he wants to watch it, then maybe this isn’t the relationship for you. There are some men out there who don’t watch porn, and if that is very important to you, you may want to look for those men and be open, early on, about that mattering to you.

The Student Cinema Guild and IU Cinema are working together to present the second Crimson Film Festival at 7 p.m. Dec. 9 at IU Cinema. The ticketed event will be free. The Crimson Film Festival is designed to celebrate the work of IU students and local filmmakers, according to IU Cinema. The Student Cinema Guild is an organization that provides students with space to collaborate and gain the experience and preparation they need to step into the entertainment industry. “Students write, direct,
produce and showcase their films and work together to learn and grow as media creators,” according to IU Cinema. The Student Cinema Guild provides students with support, equipment, monthly workshops and networking sessions for members. Last year’s film festival featured 13 films that ranged from science fiction to romance to stop-motion video. However, the complete program and list of film titles for this year have yet to be released. Submissions for the festival were due Nov. 30, according to IU Cinema. Audrey Perkins

SWIM CLUB
Student-run swim club at IU expanding By Shelbey Vandenbroucke snvanden@indiana.edu | @shelbeyvan
Almost every night, the Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatic Center is bustling with swimmers completing sets of laps and interval sprints. When the IU swim team isn’t practicing, the IU Swim Club takes over. A student-run club sport, IU Swim Club has been one of the important components of IU aquatics for more than 13 years. Since the club started in 2001, Director of the Aquatic Institute Bill Ramos has been the club’s “adviser, coach and friend,” helping to keep consistency within the everchanging student rosters, he said. The team started with 12 members — the Dirty Dozen — and soon expanded to the roster of today, with more than 100 students actively involved in the club. “(Swim Club) is a time for
me to see students other than (those) in my department,” Ramos said. “It’s a way to have a pulse on campus.” Swim Club is designed in a way to accommodate all different types of swimmers. From those who swam leisurely in their childhood to competitive high school swimmers, the club has a place for everyone. “It’s a home for former swimmers and people that enjoy swimming in a group atmosphere,” Ramos said. “The workouts are written to accommodate three different levels of swimmers, from beginning to people who come after grad school. Everyone seems to get along well and it all works (out).” Ramos also emphasizes one of the club’s underlying mottos, “swimming for a lifetime,” because he believes that keeping people in the water after high school is important in maintaining the skill for a lifetime.
Swim Club president Samantha Erny has been a part of the club throughout her college experience thus far. As president, Erny is in charge of organizing socials, competitions, swim meets and philanthropy events. Additionally, she serves as the primary contact for the club. The junior elementary education major has credited a large portion of her college experience to Swim Club and all it has done for her. “Without Swim Club, I wouldn’t have the friends that I have,” Erny said. “(The club) helped me to grow socially, too, and (gave) me opportunities I never thought I would get.” Prospective members are welcome and encouraged to join the club at any time throughout the school year. “Just show up to practice,” Erny said. “We can get you set up there and get your waivers and forms ready to go.”

IU looks to bounce back in 1st game vs. Boston College By Sam Beishuizen sbeishui@indiana.edu @Sam_Beishuizen
RACHEL MEERT | IDS
Freshman guard Rob Johnson defends during IU’s game against Pittsburgh on Tuesday at Assembly Hall.
Hoosiers need to stay in the 2-3 zone Much has been made of the importance of IU junior forward Hanner Mosquera-Perea’s role on this year’s team. IU’s only post player with any experience has to learn to control the paint and consistently alter shots. Or so they said... I don’t want to jump to conclusions after one game, but freshman forward Emmitt Holt looked like the real deal in IU’s 81-69 defeat of Pittsburgh on Tuesday night in Assembly Hall. He’s good enough to be considered a potential starter moving forward. The only problem: He’s 6-foot-7, undersized for a Big Ten post player. One-on-one, teams with a talented big will dominate him down low. That isn’t to say Mosquera-Perea would become obsolete. He is an important piece on this team and will continue to get minutes, but with the emergence of Holt, his role in a manto-man defense isn’t as essential. “Not only did Emmitt play very well, but I thought the fact that Hanner came back in the second half after playing so few minutes because of the foul situation,” IU Coach Tom Crean said. “That’s the sign of consistency that we have to get from him.” So IU needs to play Holt more but doesn’t want him matched up down low in isolation situations. The clear solution: playing the 2-3 zone that Crean has tried to implement for years in Bloomington. And he might finally have the team that can be successful with it. If Holt can keep contributing defensively the way he did against Pitt in the 2-3, IU’s defense might not be the liability everyone predicted it would be at the beginning of the season. Crean seemed to realize that as well. The Hoosiers spent the entire second half in the 2-3 and allowed 32 points. However, 11 of those points came on fastbreaks before IU could get back to set up the defense. “The key for us was we wanted to take away penetration as much as possible,” Crean said. One of the benefits of a 2-3 zone is that driving lanes close as soon as they appear. Pitt didn’t have any success driving and most of their points in the paint came from offensive rebounds. Pittsburgh looked lost when they had to set up offensively. Time after time, the Panthers took the ball down the court and passed around the perimeter trying to get an angle for a

post touch, only to realize there was just five seconds on the shot clock. Situations like that lead to a lot of forced 3-pointers. The best way to break the zone is shooting over it and, granted, the Panthers are not a great shooting team. They hit just seven-of-26 three-point attempts against IU. IU has more long, athletic guards than previous years, causing more difficult entry passes and faster close-outs. The fact is, if IU can establish their zone early on in games, it would take a lot of pressure off Mosquera-Perea’s shoulders. He and Holt would have backside help if the ball-handler spins to the middle of the paint. There are teams on IU’s upcoming nonconference schedule that could pose a problem for the Hoosiers if they don’t go to a zone-based defense. Louisville will be a problem for IU regardless of defensive strategy, but they will obliterate the Hoosiers if IU stays in man-to-man defense. Nobody on IU can match up defensively with the Cardinal’s junior forward Montrezl Harrell. He would dominate one-on-one against any Hoosier. Georgetown will also pose a problem inside. Senior Hoya center Joshua Smith stands a monstrous 6-foot-10 and weighs 350 pounds. He actually lost weight in the offseason, so he’s even stronger than he sounds. Holt and Mosquera-Perea, who both give up 125 pounds to Smith, would obviously have trouble matched up with the Hoya Hulk. But it’s dangerous to get ahead of ourselves. Frankly, IU looked reminiscent of the Sweet Sixteen game against Syracuse two years ago. In that matchup, the Orange, notorious for their 2-3 zone, hounded the Hoosiers inside and forced contested threes as the shot clock wound down. IU isn’t as good as that Syracuse team, but their defense could be a poor man’s version of that unit if they keep playing like they did tonight. And if they do play like they did tonight, and the offense stays hot, watch out. This team will surprise people. crkrajew@indiana.edu
Last season, IU didn’t know how a loss felt until early January. The Hoosiers started the season with 14 consecutive wins before dropping their first contest. That’s not the case this season. IU (5-1) will look to bounce back after suffering its first loss of the season last Sunday to Indiana State when the Hoosiers travel to Chestnut Hill, Mass., to take on the Boston College Eagles (4-2) at 7 p.m. tonight as part of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. IU had an uncharacteristically sloppy game in a loss against Indiana State that saw the Hoosiers commit a season-high 22 turnovers while only shooting 33 percent from the field in a 65-61 overtime loss. When IU struggled during the last season and a half, it relied on its 3-point shooting. Sunday, the shots from long range weren’t falling. IU only shot 23 percent from beyond the arc. Although the game ultimately goes down as a loss, IU Coach Teri Moren said experiencing the adversity of letting a potential win slip away could prove beneficial for her young team. “There’s always lessons to be learned in losses — far

more than you gain in wins sometimes,” Moren said after the loss. “We’ve been winning by (scoring) a lot of points. We’ve yet to be in a situation where our backs are against the wall.” The matchup between the Hoosiers and Eagles will be the first between the two programs. Sophomore guard Kelly Hughes leads the Eagles with 16.7 points, 6.8 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game. Behind her is an offense that has spread the ball fairly evenly this season. Seven Boston College players are averaging more than seven points per game. IU is 4-3 all-time in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge and has won three of its last four Challenge games, including the most recent two. Last year, IU picked up a 71-65
IU (5-1) at Boston College (4-2) 7 p.m. tonight, Boston College win against Virginia Tech. With tonight’s ACC/Big Ten Challenge matchup and a Big Ten conference slate looming, sophomore guard Larryn Brooks said the loss was the type of game IU needed before the stiffest games in the schedule. “I think it’s really great for us to have one of these games now just to get us ready for the Big Ten (season),” Brooks said Sunday. “I can tell you right now that’s how it’s gonna be every night when we get in conference play ... You never want to lose, but I think we’ll take a lot of things from it, learn from it and move on.”

2011 MacBook Pro 13” $700; 4 GB Ram; 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5; 250GB SSD. I upgraded the hard drive to a 250 GB Solid State DriveSSD ($180 value). It is super fast with the SSD, literally it is faster now than when I first bought it. I have never had a problem with viruses. I’ve had a hardcoverblack case with it since I bought it, so it has been protected at all times. I’ve never dropped it. I am the first owner. Everything will be wiped from the computer, and it will feel like a brand new computer, with a few blemishes. LOCAL PICKUP ONLY. Also, I’d be happy to let you test it out first, because I won’t be wiping the hard drive until I have a confirmed buyer. Example: It will open Microsoft Word in 2 seconds and photoshop in 4 seconds.

Sophomore midfielder Tanner Thompson looks to get a shot off on Wednesday at Bill Armstrong Stadium.
Thompson named Hermann semifinalist Thomspon was also named to the All-Big Ten first team. He was one of two Big Ten players named a semifinalist along with Michigan State’s Jay Chapman. Of the 16 players named semifinalists, Thompson was one of four sophomores and one of five midfielders. The trophy is awarded to college soccer’s best player. The trophy used to be awarded as two separate awards, the Hermann Trophy and the Missouri Athletic Club Player of the Year. In 2002, the two awards combined along with the NSCAA Player of the Year award to make a unified
From IDS reports

Marshawn Lynch is playing hard ... to get. After being fined $100,000 dollars for failing to make himself available to reporters, the Seattle Seahawk was coy with the media following a win against Arizona. The running back was asked a total of 22 questions. He responded with 50 total words, 12 of them being “yeah.” “How does that defense compare to others that you’ve seen this year?” one reporter asked. “Yeah,” Lynch said. “How does your back feel, Marshawn?” another asked. “Yeah,” Lynch said again. “Marshawn, can you talk about the Cardinals’ defense?” “Ye — you get the point.” It’s not as if this tactic is new to reporters. New England Patriots Coach Bill Belicheck is often terse with the media, repeatedly answering questions with, “On to Cincinnati” after his team suffered a 41-14 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs this season. From a simple snicker to “R-E-L-A-X,” NFL coaches and players have their own unique way of dismissing questions. But Lynch never wants to answer questions — not directly, anyway — and apparently, that’s a problem. I say, Lynch’s attitude is refreshing.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Today is a 7 — Deadlines are looming, so better get back to it. Work slowly and methodically. Changes are required. Talk in generalities at first. Choose boldly, after consideration. Be sensitive to a loved one’s wishes. Don’t throw your money around. Think over repercussions and outcomes before acting. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Today is a 7 — Don’t go anywhere. Slow down and take it easy. Stay calm. Talking with friends today and tomorrow clears up a concern. Emotions could overflow. Moderate a clash between normally gentle souls. Your team

For all the players who crave the limelight, here’s a running back — one with the most touchdowns in the league, no less — who doesn’t want any part of that. “Beast Mode” simply wants to play football, doing his talking the way he does best: on the field. I say, let him. Lynch just happens to be one of the few players whose personality and style of play speaks for itself. His teammate Richard Sherman, on the other hand, can talk enough for the both of them. Sherman’s antics became infamous after his team beat the 49ers in last year’s NFC Championship game. On the sideline, Sherman wasn’t celebrating the victory but instead shouting about how Michael Crabtree was a “sorry receiver.” It’s that boisterous and showy manner fans have come to expect from the corner, and it works for him. But the truth is, not every star athlete is meant to be a star personality. So when did we start expecting them to be? In college football, loud personalities are tamped down in order to promote a team mentality, and young athletes are often shielded or withheld from the media’s prying eye. IU football’s own freshman quarterback Zander comes to your rescue. Sometimes the best action is no action. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 7 — There’s fun and positive career mojo ahead. Move quickly to stay in the loop. Listen to the unspoken as well as what gets said. Take on new responsibilities today and tomorrow. Avoid arguing over silly stuff. Social events capture your attention now. Share private information. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is an 8 — You can take new ground over the next two days, but you may not follow the route originally intended. Remember to consult with your partner. Look before leaping. Expenses may be higher than expected. Plan a bold adventure from the comforts of home.

Diamont was made unavailable to reporters for two weeks (one game), most likely because he was thrust untimely into the spotlight. An Old Oaken Bucket, a cigar and an Instagram post later, Diamont seems more than comfortable in his new role. But some athletes never want the spotlight to shine off the field. Those players enter the NFL, a job earned on talent alone, and they are thrown to the wolves. Talent becomes a token to celebrity, and personalities become inflated personas, with drama off the field meant to mirror the drama on it. Cleveland Browns Johnny “Money” Manziel is a prime example of a player who thrives under these circumstances, because in the end, money is what it’s all about. The bigger the personality, the bigger the endorsements, the bigger the paycheck. Meanwhile, Lynch is content to eat his Skittles quietly on the sideline — business, as usual. vziege@indiana.edu Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 7 — Work out the numbers and sign papers today and tomorrow. Don’t buy toys. You theory could get challenged. Think of possible back doors and come at the idea from different angles. Figure out your plan today for action tomorrow.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is an 8 — You have more help over the next two days. Try to understand other people’s feelings. Learn by listening. Enjoy a partnership phase. Put energy into a team effort. Delegate what you can. Talk gets farther than action today. Take passion behind closed doors. © 2014 By Nancy Black Distributed by Tribune Media Services, INC.
