Woman reports sexual assault
Saddened, not shocked
From IDS reports
A 21-year-old woman reported a sexual assault Monday that allegedly took place after a party Friday in the northeast part of Bloomington. The woman is taking steps to pursue a criminal investigation through the Bloomington Police Department, BPD Sgt. George Connolly said. The case remains active. Capt. Steve Kellams said he has reason to believe the people involved in the sexual assault were IU students. The woman told police she had invited a group of friends over to her house on Friday night, beginning at about 7:30 p.m. The friends were playing a drinking game that involved removing clothing when a player lost, Connolly said. The woman became extremely drunk and went upstairs to a bedroom and was followed by one of the male guests, who was about the same age as her. They curled up in bed, and he began touching her, Connolly said. She didn’t immediately object because of her intoxication level, Connolly said. “She feels she was too drunk to have said no,” Connolly said. She objected soon after, and the man left the room, went downstairs and slept on the couch for the rest of the night. The woman reported the sexual assault to the BPD at about 4:30 p.m. Monday.

HARTSVILLE, IND. — A 6-year-old boy playing in a house littered with toy guns accidentally picked up a loaded .38-caliber revolver and shot and killed his father. Moments later, neighbors saw the child running and screaming barefoot in the front yard. “I didn’t mean to!” he said. “I’m sorry! It was an accident!” Neighbor Tracee Heslop, seeing the distraught boy, brought over a blanket and wrapped him in her arms. She didn’t know what else to do, so she prayed. “Your daddy’s going to be OK,” Heslop told him. He was sobbing when sheriff ’s deputies and paramedics arrived around 9:15 p.m. He wrapped his arms around their legs, trying to hug them. “I didn’t know,” he told them. “I’m sorry.” James Lonaker, 62, was sitting at his desk Sunday night and did not see his son pick up the handgun, which was lying on either a table or a mini refrigerator in the same room, according to the Bartholomew County Sheriff ’s Department. Authorities did not release the boy’s first name. The boy’s mother was in the house in Hartsville, Indiana, which is about an hour east of Bloomington, with her 1-year-old
son when she heard a “pop.” Lonaker, shot once in the upper chest, spoke to family and neighbors who rushed to help him. He was alert enough that they thought he would survive as emergency workers loaded him into a medical helicopter. But he died en route to Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis. Bartholomew County Sheriff Matt Myers said he has heard too many cases of children picking up a loaded gun and accidentally shooting themselves or others. The story is getting old, he said. “This tragedy has been told again and again,” Myers said. “Please keep your guns in a secure location.” Spare gun locks, issued by the federal government to promote gun safety, sit in Myers’ office. In an interview with the Indiana Daily Student, he used his own .38-caliber revolver to demonstrate how easy it is to wrap the thick wire of the gun lock through the opened cylinder. Downstairs by the front desk, there is a box of gun locks. They are free, but the box is nearly full. Not enough people are picking them up, Myers said. “It’s sad to say, but I’m surprised we don’t have more of this,” Myers said Gun safety education has been a priority in his county. In 2015, 521 gun permits were

“We as adults have to practice proper storage. It’s easy to set a gun down and forget about it. Those are costly mistakes.” Matt Myers, Bartholomew County Sheriff
issued in Bartholomew County. The number of gun permits issued has risen dramatically during the past few years. People are carrying guns more now than ever before, Myers said. An increase in national mass shootings and anticipation of tighter gun reform may be why so many more people are buying and registering guns, Myers said. The sheriff said he hopes gun
owners take Lonaker’s tragedy to heart. “We as adults have to practice proper storage,” Myers said. “It’s easy to set a gun down and forget about it. Those are costly mistakes.” When the deputies walked inside the yellow house on Clinton Street, they noticed the toy guns lying around the room.

IU (18-10) at Nebraska (17-10, 8-8) 7 p.m. Lincoln, Nebraska
With two games remaining in the regular season, IU (18-10, 10-6) sits in prime position to lock up one of the four double-byes guaranteeing a spot in the quarterfinals of the Big Ten Tournament. The Hoosiers, tied for fourth in the conference, were projected as a 10seed in this week’s ESPN bracketology for the 2016 NCAA Tournament. Before playing at home with No. 11 Penn State to finish the season, IU will face Nebraska (17-10, 8-8) at 8 p.m. Wednesday in Lincoln, Nebraska. The last time the two teams played, almost three weeks ago, the Hoosier defense stifled the Huskers 59-47 at Assembly Hall. A big reason why IU was able to hold Nebraska at less than 50 points was the Hoosiers’ game plan against star freshman Jessica Shephard. At 6-foot-4, Shephard is the frontrunner for Big Ten freshman of the year. The Nebraska native averages 19.9 points and 8.7 rebounds per game. On Feb. 8, IU Coach Teri Moren primarily chose junior center Jenn Anderson to defend Shephard. Anderson frustrated Shephard with 11 turnovers and four fouls. Though Shephard still finished with 18 points
and 13 rebounds, it wasn’t enough for Nebraska to threaten IU’s lead. “Shephard is a tremendous post player in this league,” Moren said after the first meeting. “I thought Jenn Anderson did a really great job of making her uncomfortable. She had 18, but it was a well-earned 18 because of Jenn’s focus to keep her at bay and off-balanced.” Since its first meeting with IU when it stood at 7-4 in the Big Ten season, Nebraska has lost three of its last four games. Three of those games were played against teams in the Big Ten’s top four. Shephard scored a game-high 26 points in a 73-66 upset against No. 17 Michigan State last Sunday. Nebraska most recently lost to Purdue at home Sunday, 68-50. IU, meanwhile, looks for its third Big Ten road win of the season. After snapping its 1-36 mark in Big Ten road games against Northwestern earlier this year, IU has only defeated last-place Illinois away from Assembly Hall.

Frances Quinlan doesn’t need to know what the characters are thinking. The vocalist of Philadelphia indie rock band Hop Along, which will play Wednesday night at the Bishop, often writes narrative songs. Quinlan said her songwriting has been influenced by writers who spent little time vocalizing their characters’ thoughts, who show rather than tell. That includes authors like Ernest Hemingway, whom she finds alternately problematic and admirable, Flannery O’Connor and Cormac McCarthy. “I wanted to be a short story writer when I was growing up, so that definitely comes through,” she said. Hop Along’s second record, “Painted Shut,” came out in May, but Quinlan has been writing songs for the project since it started as a solo endeavor in 2004. Some of the songs on “Painted Shut” see Quinlan drawing from history. On “Buddy in the Parade” and “Horseshoe Crabs,” she chronicles the ill-fated lives of musicians Buddy Bolden and Jackson C. Frank, respectively. Elsewhere, she’s a passive character in her own stories, as she witnesses child abuse in “Powerful Man” and dodges an unwanted customer in “Waitress.” “That’s where a lot of personal humiliation comes from — that feeling of being a bystander in your own life,” she said. “I don’t mean to address humiliation so much. It’s just a part of what enriches experience.”

IUSA passes three resolutions at meeting By Laurel Demkovich lfdemkov@indiana.edu @laureldemkovich
The IU Student Association Congress passed three resolutions that elected new representatives, requested better warnings at railroad crossings and requested clearer sidewalks on 10th Street, respectively. IUSA Congress met in Hodge Hall Tuesday for their second assembly session of the semester. Nate North, Teter representative, and Matt Cabo, Read representative, along with Craig Douglas, off-campus representative and the Student Life Committee sponsored a resolution to enhance safety at campus railroad crossings. This resolution requests flashing lights or sounds to be placed at railroad crossings to increase the safety of students, faculty and others on campus. After a personal incident with a dangerous railroad crossing, North decided to bring this issue to Congress. About 20 seconds after driving over a set of railroad tracks, North noticed that a train passed shortly after he crossed. Currently, railroad crossings near the Student Recreational Sports Center, Hodge
Hall and North Walnut Grove are only marked by a sign. One of the reasons the resolution’s sponsors brought this bill to Congress was because of a train and car collision that happened last year. In April of last year, a train collided with a car at the tracks on Union Street. Although this resolution is a request to research this issue and attempt to find a solution, Douglas said some sort of warning system needs to be in place to increase the safety of both pedestrians and drivers. Douglas, along with North and Cabo, sponsored another resolution supporting the clearing of sidewalks on 10th Street. Overgrown bushes obstruct the sidewalk along the Geology and Psychology buildings, according to the bill. This resolution formally requests that the University use its ground-keeping personnel to trim these bushes to reveal the entire sidewalk or to look into other ways to fix this problem. The sidewalk should allow about four people to pass, but because of the bushes, only about two are able to walk, Douglas said. Douglas said this resolution is simply a request for the University to try and find

some way to fix it. “It’s very easy to do, and it’s very annoying,” Douglas said. Both of these resolutions are requests to look further into these issues, and there is no set plan for implementing
them. However, IUSA Congress adviser Steve Browne said his job is to help a bill’s sponsor work to come up with that plan. It isn’t necessary for sponsors to have a full plan of how
to tackle the issue when they first present it to Congress, Browne said. They should just have a loose plan with which Browne can work to fully develop and implement with them.
North said both his and Douglas’ bills won’t be too hard to implement. “Both of these resolutions aren’t demanding, and they have a positive impact on campus,” Douglas said.
9 IU students compete in International Ethics Bowl By Carley Lanich clanich@indiana.edu | @carleylanich
Nine students competed in the Association for Practical and Professional Ethics’ national Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl in Reston, Virginia, during the weekend. The young team, which had six freshmen and only two members returning from last year’s team, survived three preliminary rounds and advanced to quarterfinal competition before being eliminated by Oklahoma Christian University. “Any outcome that doesn’t have IU hoisting the cup is a disappointment,” IU Coach Joe Bartzel said in a press release. “But we’re a young team with a sky-high upside, and I can’t wait to see
the core of this team return next year.” The Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl, unlike a debate tournament, encourages a discussion without arguments and promotes the idea of civil discourse, team captain and junior Ali Henke said. The Ethics Bowl was created at IU with the goal of expanding the options beyond those provided in speech and debate contests, she said. “We didn’t have what we would consider realistic and metaphysical discussions,” Henke said. “So we didn’t have these discussions that prompted greater ideas, we just had sort of these very confrontational interactions surrounding facts, figures and research and how many words you could say per
minute.” The team prepared for five to 10 hours a week for the competition, which consists of 15 different cases related to topics like minimum wage, universities’ handling of cyber security and the California water drought. Reyan Coskun, a freshman member on the team, is a biochemistry major and focused her studies for the competition on animal rights issues. “It was definitely interesting to be with so many other schools,” Coskun said. “There were a bunch of schools I had never even heard of, but they were really, really good.” At the competition, the team presented the 15 cases, which they were given six to eight weeks in advance. The
IU team competed against schools including Tufts University, St. Mary’s College of Maryland and Macalester College. Coskun said she felt the team knew the case material well, but the most difficult part of the competition was maintaining endurance throughout the contest. “You need a lot of endurance to stay awake during the whole thing because it’s a daylong competition, and you have to be on during all of it,” Coskun said. Each round of the contest lasts an hour with two teams given the opportunity to present its case, respond to the opposing side and rebut the opposition’s response. “We competed straight for basically three or four
hours,” Coskun said. The team advanced to the national contest after winning its regional division last fall against a group of 30 schools from Indiana, western Ohio, northern Kentucky and eastern Illinois. The regional division in which IU competes is one of the most competitive in the nation, Henke said. This semester’s national competition placed a heightened focus on law and policy, she added. “The questions revolved around how these ethics relate to policy and law, which was different from normal, as we usually just come to some ethical conclusions,” Henke said. In last year’s national competition, the IU team
advanced to the semi-final round and was given the Spirit of Robert Ladenson Award, which is presented to teams that exemplify respect and civility. Henke said her involvement in Ethics Bowl has allowed her to more easily have conversations with others who hold opposing views. “One of the most important things, in my opinion, is I am able to have conversations with people with whom I disagree with,” Henke said. “It’s just realizing in order to figure out where people are coming from, there are a lot of different facets to conversation, and the number one thing is to not get angry but that you’re always open to having the conversation.”
Cybersecurity measures increase at IU By Eman Mozaffar emozaffa@indiana.edu @emanmozaffar
As an institution that has 115,000 students, 9,000 faculty members and 11,000 staff members across eight campuses, IU is full of online targets. The University is constantly in need of a more complex, multi-layered cybersecurity policy, one that adapts to the ever-changing landscape of information technology, said Eric Cosens, University information policy officer. A significant sector of Protect IU, a group focusing on all areas of campus public safety, is concerned with online security. “Technology continues to be a permeating force, and the scope of our work has grown, it feels, at an exponential rate,” Cosens said. “The resources we provided have not kept pace, and we are working on multiple projects to reverse this.” The offices of information security and policy work together to implement administrative changes, as well as make IU safer digitally. A recent development includes a policy draft that requires the intense vetting of all third parties that have expressed interest in exchanging information with the University. “We’re primarily documenting a process we’ve been using for some time, as it is on the cusp of being approved,” Cosens said. “We want to solidify IU’s
relation with cloud providers, so we ensure the information we’re sharing with these groups is secure and protected.” Another area of focus is the Cyber Risk Mitigation Responsibilities Policy, or IT-28. The policy, which was implemented in May 2013, outlines the University’s efforts to minimize the ability of outside threats to target IU’s servers, or the systems of devices that help IU’s networks function. Initiatives of IT-28 include centralizing systems, reducing the number of servers on campus and rearranging departments for efficiency. Cosens said the more servers the campus houses, the greater chance hackers and outside threats have to breach the system and target the campus. The offices are constantly working to decide which databases and programs can be run locally or centrally, he said, and which units can be shut down altogether. “There is no way you can ever eliminate risks entirely,” said Daniel Calarco, chief of staff of the Office of the Vice President for Information Technology. “We can, however, have University-wide policies like IT-28 that significantly reduce the likelihood of cyberattacks.” Cosens said a persistent threat to students, faculty and staff is phishing, or attempts to solicit sensitive information — often personal information — typically for self-serving purposes.
For example, a student may receive a seemingly official email sent by a scammer, asking for his or her credit card information and IU passphrase, or informing them their passphrase is no longer secure and needs to be changed. The offices take reports of phishing seriously and respond to the risks by examining the attacks. “We sinkhole the phishing link, so it redirects to one of our pages,” Cosens said. “We also look through the logs to see who may have posted their credentials, so we can message them and tell them to change their passwords.” Falling for online scams and clicking on bad links are common mistakes and can be easily prevented, Cosens said. He said preventative measures are one of the most effective ways to maximize campus cybersecurity. The Committee of Data Stewards, a group responsible for developing guidelines on IU’s data, recently launched Data Management at IU, a website that details cybersecurity efforts, policies and advice. The website has been well-received, Cosens said, and provides an invaluable resource for students who want better understand what they can be doing to make themselves feel safer online. “It’s important to remember that a good security posture protects both you and the University,” Cosens said. “Configure

your mobile devices, don’t open questionable files and keep your software updates patched.” Cosens said the technology sector has seen great change, more so than most other fields. From the increase of mobile device usage to the sophistication of the University’s server system, this series of advancements has arrived with both benefits and challenges that must be dealt with. “Developing new security standards for devices and drafting policy for recurring and future problems are just some of the concerns in our office,” Cosens said. “With the way technology is evolving, however, we’re working to keep up with whatever comes next.” For more information on cybersecurity, in-depth terminology and data management governance, visit datamgmt.iu.edu.

Volunteers send books to prisoners By Cody Thompson Comthomp@indiana.iu.edu @CodyMichael3
There were about 1,561,500 prisoners in the United States as of 2014, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics website. Due to recent prison facility restrictions, books are becoming a difficult commodity for prisoners to acquire. Pages for Prisoners is one group trying to help prisoners obtain as much literature as possible. The Bloomington-based initiative is centered in the nonprofit Boxcar Books and Community Center and has workshops five days a week for volunteers to assist wherever necessary. Pages for Prisoners is a volunteer-based organization started in 1995 that sends books to prisoners in 11 states. “I have a lot of friends and some family that are
incarcerated and understand one function of prison is isolating people from society and from their support networks,” volunteer monitor Sam Harrell said. “I feel that anything I can do to minimize that isolation and communicate across bars is really important.” One of the most commonly requested books is a dictionary, Harrell said. Many prisoners request a dictionary because they are working toward a GED diploma. Dictionaries are the only books Pages for Prisoners purchase. Vocational, medical and criminal law books are books commonly requested for the prisoners’ education, Harrell said. The majority of books the program sends are donated by the local community and are completely free for the prisoners. The program began serving prisoners throughout
the U.S. but eventually dialled back to 14 states and is now at 11, Harrell said. This cutdown is due to the assistance of other upcoming books-for-prisoners projects across the country, which allows for faster response times. “I did time myself,” volunteer Ross Berg said. “I did one year, and I am empathetic to what it’s like to have your rights taken from you and to be stripped of your individuality, and just the awful, ugly monster of the prison system is just horrible.” The Pages for Prisoners space, where volunteers meet and store the program’s books, is behind the shelves of Boxcar Books. The program has many bookshelves of its own that hold books on a wide variety of topics, Harrell said. Pages for Prisoners puts on volunteer orientations from 6 to 8 p.m. every
second Sunday of the month at Boxcar Books, Harrell said. “I think volunteers come in here and are surprised by the amount of requests that are very functional and practical, not just, ‘I want to read the new James Patterson novel,’ but, ‘I have cancer, and they’re not letting me see a doctor,’ and, ‘I am studying for my GED, and I don’t have a dictionary,’” Harrell said. Berg has been a volunteer for about a month and a half, putting in four to five hours a week writing to prisoners. “Just walk in and check it out,” Berg said. “They do this almost every day. The times are on the chalkboard in front of Boxcar.” When she is not volunteering with Pages for Prisoners, Harrell is a social worker in various capacities, one of which is helping prisoners re-enter society after their incarceration. She said
this is her favorite part of volunteering with the group — hearing how much it mattered to the prisoners. “Unlike a lot of our volunteers, I get the privilege of hearing from people when they get out about the books we send and the difference they make,” Harrell said. “There are a lot of different ways you can get engaged in Bloomington, but this project can feel very directly and immediately meaningful. It’s very tangible.” For Berg, he said the project is not for him, but for the prisoners, and his favorite part of volunteering is when he can send someone exactly what they ask for. He said it’s a way to let them know someone is thinking about them and cares about them. “The most satisfying part is sending the package — just writing, ‘Hey, you’re not forgotten. We know you’re in there. Enjoy this book,’” Berg said.
Evansville’s City Council amended its human rights ordinance during a Monday night meeting. The original ordinance included a section that gave the Evansville commission limited power to accept complaints about discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity. The amendment deleted this section, which also limited the commission’s authority to notify respondents of the complaint and attempt voluntary investigation or voluntary mediation, according to the ordinance. “This is a big step in the right direction at the local level, but it’s also a continued sign that we need to have strong statewide protections in place,” said Chris Paulsen, Freedom Indiana campaign manager, in a press release. The Council voted 7-2, according to the Freedom Indiana press release. The ordinance prohibits any discriminatory practice but excludes any nonprofits organized for fraternal or religious purposes, any school, education, charitable or religious institution, or any exclusive social club, corporation or association not organized for profit and not open to the general public. Evansville scored a 47 on the Human Rights Campaign’s 2015 municipal equality index. The City lost points in the category of non-discrimination laws, scoring only 15 out of 30. “Without statewide protections, gay and transgender people have to depend on a patchwork of protections in places like Evansville,” Paulsen said. “Unfortunately, once they leave Evansville or any of the other cities and counties that have HROs, they’re once again subject to legal discrimination based on who they are.” Lindsay Moore
Former Brown County resident killed in Michigan By Samantha Schmidt schmisam@indiana.edu @schmidtsam7
One of the six people killed in a shooting spree in Kalamazoo, Michigan, this weekend was 74-year-old Dorothy “Judy” Brown, a former resident of Nashville, Indiana, and director of the Brown County Chamber of Commerce. Brown was described by her local friends as a caring community member who served as an ambassador for Nashville tourism, helped women enter the work force in the 1980s, and provided in-home assistance for the elderly. Barb Brooke Davis, a Brown County resident and Brown’s longtime friend, said Brown was a fun-loving, “classy lady.” “She was very devoted,” Davis said. “Whatever she did, she jumped in with both feet.” Brown was killed Saturday evening in the parking lot of a Cracker Barrel restaurant in Kalamazoo, Michigan. She was in the back seat of a Chevrolet Cruze when a man approached the car and shot her, along with the three other people in the vehicle. The man also shot the driver of an Oldsmobile in the parking lot. Four of the people shot were killed, and a 14-year-old girl was put into critical condition. Police have charged Jason Dalton, 45, in connection with the shooting, which was the last of three separate shoot-
ings that left six people dead. All three were connected to Dalton, according to Michigan State Police. For the last 15 years or so, Brown lived in Battle Creek, Michigan, where her brother and other relatives lived, Davis said. Before, she spent about 25 years in Nashville. She moved to Nashville with her then-husband, whom she later divorced and who has since died, said Stefanie Gore, Brown’s friend and Nashville resident. Brown also had two adult sons, both of whom were living on their own when Brown moved to Nashville, Davis said. As director of the Brown County Chamber of Commerce, Brown spoke with tourists and other visitors of Nashville, answering their questions and providing information about the city, Stephen said. Prior to this role, Brown helped run the South Central Community Action Program, which provided low-income housing and other financial assistance to struggling local residents, Stefanie said. One of the programs she helped coordinate was a federal initiative that subsidized wages to incentivize companies to hire women who were new to the work force. “She was very caring, sweet,” Stefanie said. “She wasn’t judgmental.” Later on in her years in Brown County, Brown began offering in-home aid for local elderly residents. She continued doing similar work after
moving to Battle Creek, where she helped elderly individuals with their finances and medications, Davis said. She did all this despite her own medical challenges, Davis said. Brown battled emphysema, a lung disease. Brown also attended the Unitarian Universalist Church of Bloomington, Davis said. Davis said she was Brown’s close personal friend during her time in Nashville. They participated in a Tea Society of seven women, three of which have now died, Davis said. The two friends remained in close contact even after Brown moved to Michigan. Davis visited Brown and the two made a point to call each other on birthdays and holidays. The last time Davis spoke to Brown was this past Christmas, she said. “When I first heard there were shootings in Kalamazoo, my first thought was, ‘Judy lives in Battle Creek, where is that?’” Davis said she only knew of two people who lived in Michigan. She would later find out through other local Nashville residents watching the news that Brown was among the shooting victims. Davis said she plans to organize a local memorial for Brown’s friends to commemorate her. The Gores said Brown’s death was a shock to the local people who knew her. “It was just awful,” Stefanie Gore said. “She really made a big impact on this town.”

Starbucks’ new low-fat rewards program Starbucks has revamped its rewards program, and its 11 million rewards program members are about to feel it. Starbucks now requires its members earn 125 stars, or the equivalent of $62.50, before receiving a complimentary drink.
This is more than twice as much as the rewards program previously required, so those who buy less expensive drinks will lose out. So unless you are a fan of a double caramel low-fat latte, Starbucks may no longer be the coffee shop for you.

The GOP’s swan song The GOP is dead. According to economist Robert Reich, the GOP no longer resembles a viable political party in the United States. Chief among the reasons for this is in-fighting between different groups, Reich said. These include libertarians who are opposed to any and all government regulation, Evangelicals who take hardright stances on social issues and wealthy Wall Street types who hope to use the government to advance their own interests. Let’s look at what happened to the Republican Party in this election cycle. The Tea Party was shortlived in its scope, as evidenced by the 2012 election, in which it won only four of the 16 candidates for the Senate it sponsored during that election, according to Infoplease. However, the movement ultimately left a message for the party that continues to exist to this day. That message is to be wary and distrustful of government at all costs. As a result, members of the Tea Party oppose any government spending on almost everything, including major health care programs. Two events contributed to this wariness. When President Obama and Democrats passed the Affordable Care Act in 2010 and bailed out the financial industry following the 2008 recession, the Tea Party was convinced the government had to be reformed. The only way to do that, they reasoned, was taking the government back into the will of the people, à la the Patriots dumping tea into the Boston harbor in 1773. This message still resonates today because it reflects an angry and restless Republican electorate dissatisfied both with the Democratic Party and

moderate Republicans. Much has been and continues to be written about businessman Donald Trump’s foray into politics in his crusade for the Republican nomination. But I will give him credit where credit is due. He was able to take advantage of the current electorate’s mood in a way few other Republican candidates, if any at all, have been able to do so far. Take Jeb Bush. In any other election year, he would’ve been a perfect fit for the Republican nomination. He had a home-base advantage in the crucial swing state of Florida, due to his previous experience as governor there for eight years. He is the son and brother of former presidents. He was the living, breathing face of the Republican establishment, and was able to raise roughly $150 million for his campaign, according to Politico. Yet, in a cycle where anything resembling previous experience with the government was a sign of weakness, Bush paled in comparison to Trump, who has never held public office before and has largely self-funded his campaign. When the establishment candidate bows to a major party outsider in the race for the highest office in the U.S., one knows shifts in the political party are coming. What’s next in the mainstream GOP’s evolution, if it exists after this cycle? Only time will tell. But I hope the outsiders can consolidate themselves with the moderates in the party, for its own future’s sake. ttfitzpa@indiana.edu @tfitzwrites
CRAZY IS MAJORITY RULES
The science of the individual in education The notion that education needs to become more individualized is hardly new. In the face of standardized tests and conventional systems of grading, this hardly seems like a point of debate. However something interesting has recently surfaced amid the commentary, and it has some wellsubstantiated and specific contributions to the debate on standardized education. This idea is known as the science of the individual. The science of the individual is a branch of mathematics and psychology that demonstrates the flaws in drawing inferences about a single individual by simply taking a summary statistic for a population. With the science of the individual, no single person is average in any real population of individuals. At first this seems like a bit of a banal observation, and possibly even counterproductive. If we’re supposed to observe the atomic components of any system because conclusions are harder to form at higher organizational levels, we’ll wind up examining everything too closely to draw any meaningful conclusions at all. This argument has merit — it often happens that the desire for objective accuracy gets bogged down in detail as we successively break the world around us down into more fundamental units. In education, this would show if we obsessively tried to examine a child’s needs too closely.
Danielle Rindler is a sophomore in journalism.
Really, there is no such thing as a “perfect education,” and we’d likely end up with paradoxical notions as to what is best for any given child. In the end, we would have to strike a balance. The science of the individual is a step toward that balance; in today’s group-focused climate, it offers the insight that simply averaging across populations doesn’t give us the information we need to form curriculum that works for students. In education this is all too apparent. It has, unfortunately, harshly run against the prevailing trends in standardized curriculum. Advocates of the science of the individual call for the end of this juxtaposition. A strong leader in this movement is Todd Rose, author of “The End of Average” and a teacher of educational neuroscience at Harvard. He advocates specific methodologies, such as competency-based learning, which move us toward a more individualized take on education. Rose and others advocating the science of the individual often reference a particular example of averages profoundly failing to account for individual differences. In the 1940s, jets were designed for the Air Force based on the average size of a pilot. Pilots would lose control of their vessels at an alarming rate with this design. SEE SCIENCE, PAGE 5

EDITORIAL BOARD
Trump goes after the Pope WE SAY: Trump doesn’t speak for Christianity, his response to Pope Francis was hypocritical After Pope Francis claimed Donald Trump was not a Christian for wanting to erect a wall between the United States and Mexico, Trump fired back by saying “No leader, especially a religious leader, should have the right to question another man’s religion or faith.” This might seem pious of Trump. Even Jesus said, “Judge not, that you be not judged ... Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?” But his pious image is tainted because just six days earlier Trump tweeted, “How can Ted Cruz be an Evangelical Christian when he lies so much and is so dishonest?” The Editorial Board believes the word “hypocrisy” no longer describes
Donald Trump. That word has become so prevalent and overused in our society, the welldeserved sting of calling someone a hypocrite has lessened. Since we lack any other word, we’re stuck with this label for Trump — an insult we’re sure he’s been called many times before and would easily brush off — but let us add his hypocrisy is of the worst and highest degree. If hypocrisy is measurable, Trump’s comments are off the charts. He claims to follow the word of Jesus but does exactly what Jesus said not to do. It is the belief of the Editorial Board that a person who openly and unrepentantly disobeys one of the clearest teachings of Jesus Christ is not Christian.
Though we understand Trump is not a Catholic, we would like to add that his disregard and lack of respect for the person who is arguably the greatest living authority on Catholicism on the planet was appalling. We don’t suggest every Christian, Catholic or otherwise, has to agree with the Pope simply because he’s the Pope, but we do believe the attacks in Trump’s response were entirely inappropriate, if not down right hypocritical. Trump began with the statement, “If and when the Vatican is attacked by ISIS,” then went on to claim the Pope only knows one side of the world’s sociopolitical issues and called him a pawn after suggesting he had no authority or right to question a person’s practices of Christianity.
We were disappointed in Trump’s lack of respectful disagreement with the man who holds the highest office in one of the world’s major denomination of Christianity. However, we can’t say we were surprised; Trump seems to have the same level of regard for the highest office in this land, the Presidency. The Editorial Board condemns Trump’s hypocrisy on this issue and urges the American people to reconsider nominating, let alone electing, a man who contradicts and embarrasses himself in this fashion. We especially urge the Christian electorate to reread the Gospels and determine what Christ-like characteristics Donald Trump possesses, as we’re certain there are few.
SLICE OF SOMETHING REAL
Foodie magazines, don’t hate on millennial foodies I’m a Millennial foodie. I love food, food culture, buying new, foreign ingredients and making items like kombucha from scratch. I subscribe to the magazine Bon Appétit, a magazine that celebrates all the joys of food, dining and cooking. In their recent culture centered issue, the magazine that once captured all of my love and devotion betrayed me by poking fun at our generation and its obsession with food. I can take a good joke but I’m tired of hearing and reading the same spoof on food-loving Millennials again and again. Bon Appétit devoted an entire issue of their magazine to current food culture, including a page detailing the highly generic “Anatomy of a Food-Obsessed Millennial.” What looks like an innocent and playful jab at a generation’s food mania turns into an unoriginal, hypocritical review of what the average Millennial
foodie spends their grocery money on. The anatomy chart features a Millennial woman dressed in a floral jumpsuit, holding a tote bag featuring the Serial podcast monogram that is full of the spoils from a trip to the market. All around this generic female Millennial are examples of her favorite foods items and food habits. For example, one detail states, “Check out her Instagram for #AvocadoToastTuesdays; last week’s had 200 likes”. Avocado toast — a recent food trend of Millennials — has recently been subject to undue and frankly ridiculous scrutiny. Avocado toast has also been reported on by Bon Appétit January 2015. Another highly hypocritical point of criticism aimed at this fictional Millennial female is the example that states, “She spent three hours and $45 tracking down cardamom pods and corn flour to make
corn cookies — more than it would have cost to buy a dozen at Milk Bar.” Honestly, if this all-encompassing food-obsessed Millennial woman was trying to find ingredients for a corn cookie recipe, she probably got the recipe from Bon Appétit or a similar source. I don’t understand why any of this is funny anymore, or why critiques of the fascination Millennials have with food are as ubiquitous as Millennials themselves. Making fun of avocadoloving, kombucha-making, vegan Millennials isn’t enough of a critique. It doesn’t matter Millennials are obsessed with food production and culture. Millennials are spending 14 times as much money on food as the average middle class family and their spending their money on food that’s produced in ways less harmful to the environment. Overall, Millennials are

spending $96 billion a year on food. I don’t care if the baby boomer generation thinks we’re food-obsessed and spend too much money on food and dining out. I enjoy the increased interest in global cuisines and the focus on sustainable farming practices from people my age. There’s nothing wrong with eating consciously or pretentiously. Food is not just food anymore due to all sorts of gene modifications, pesticides and farming practices. People can criticize Millennials and our fascination with food all they want. I’ll be over here enjoying my farmraised meat and heirloom vegetables. rcm2@indiana.edu @RachelCMiller1

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4 Upon examination of each individual, it was found that no individual was truly “average,” and thus the cockpit was not truly well-suited to a single pilot. The solution was to make the cockpit seat orientation adjustable, so the pilots could fly in a way that suited
them without costing much extra effort in the manufacture of planes. This is the balance the science of the individual seeks to strike. It establishes sufficiently generalizable methodologies that allow us to reliably individualize education and other areas of human endeavor. jacob.worrell@gmail.com
ZACH’S WEEKLY WISDOM
Affirmative Action needs more precision The Supreme Court is set to rule on the contentious topic of affirmative action. In Fisher v. University of Texas at Austin, the justices are asked to consider a public school’s use of racial preferences in admissions decisions. When this case was at the Court before, the justices settled for sending it back to the Fifth Circuit for heightened review. This meant the university’s argument could still prevail, but would just have to face a higher Constitutional standard. This is not the terrible outcome many believe it is. This time, the justices are deciding whether higher standard has been met by the university. If it has not, then the use of racial preferences in college admissions will be deemed unconstitutional under the Equal Protection Clause. Affirmative action has been broken for quite some time and needs a radical revamping for the 21st century. As originally envisioned, affirmative action was designed to ensure blacks gained representation in the face of outright discrimination and legal barriers to their success. This was a blunt weapon wielded against a problem that really required a scalpel, and affirmative action has only become more distasteful as the situation for blacks has improved. The problem with affirmative action is that it assumes race is the sole cause of disadvantage in life. When stated this plainly, the absurdity of this proclamation comes to light. Just as there are wealthy, advantaged blacks, there are poor, disadvantaged whites. Particularly concentrated in Appalachian

regions, white poverty goes largely ignored in the media, despite the almost thirty million white Americans living in poverty. With this in mind, an affirmative action based not on racial point accumulation but rather on economic factors makes more sense. The new affirmative action could take into account an applicant’s family wealth and income, crime and graduation rates in their county, city or state. By taking into account personal and localized factors that also has influence on an individual’s overall experience and chances at attending college, the students that truly need a leg up can be given one. The stated purpose of affirmative action in college admissions is to increase “diversity,” which will provide students a better educational experience. Were colleges to use an income based affirmative action, they would still be able to accomplish this goal. Not only would racial diversity be achieved through this program, as black and Hispanic students are disproportionately poor, colleges could also capture economic diversity. At UT-Austin, for example, 40 percent of the school’s 2014 admitted class were from households with an income of $100,000 or up, with an additional 20 percent not reporting their household income. With better affirmative action, help can be concentrated towards students that need it most without the racial resentment the current system engenders. zaochamb@indiana.edu
FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH
The art vs. the artist When hip-hop juggernaut Kanye West released his seventh solo album, “The Life of Pablo,” on Feb. 14, fans reacted with excited fanfare. The album has received widespread acclaim. Critics like the New York Times’ Jon Caramanica have lauded West’s perfection of the “art of aesthetic and intellectual bricolage” on his latest project, and many have echoed this praise. Last week, West surprised no one by taking to social media for one of his infamous stream-of-consciousness Twitter rants. After pleading financial insolvency, he admonished his followers for not supporting “real artists” before posting a tweet that read “you’d rather open up one school in Africa like you really helped the country...” Listening to “The Life of Pablo” didn’t feel right that day. West’s implication that his priorities are more important than educating children is nothing short of insulting, even if they are children from the fictional country of Africa. West’s egomania has manifested itself constantly over the last decade, but in the wake of his latest tirade, I’ve realized I don’t have to admire West the man to love West the artist. I don’t even have to like him. Some of history’s great writers, musicians and leaders were despicable people. This shouldn’t devalue the quality of their work. Short story writer H.P. Lovecraft was incredibly racist. He believed people of English descent to be superior to all others. He also produced some of the greatest horror fiction of the early 20th century, influencing the likes of Steven King and William S. Burroughs. Film icon John Wayne was an admitted white supremacist. To him, taking land from
DANIEL KILCULLEN is a sophmore in marketing and sustainable business.
Native Americans was justified because “there were great numbers of people who needed new land, and the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves.” Despite his incorrect worldview, Wayne popularized Western film and earned countless awards with his calm machismo. And let us not forget about filmmaker and actor Woody Allen. He was accused in 1992 and again in 2014 of sexual abuse by his daughter and is currently married to a woman he and his ex-partner, actress Mia Farrow, raised as a child. Still, Allen’s 40-plus films have earned many awards, amusing audiences with his trademark slapstick humor for nearly five decades. These facts are troubling and may cause you to think twice before you spend your evening reading Lovecraft or watching a film featuring Wayne or Allen. But enjoying their art doesn’t require us to condone their actions or respect their beliefs. It requires little more than an appreciation of their craft. Even the most wholesome artists and musicians have qualities that some may deem unsavory. This shouldn’t depreciate their creative contributions to the world. Separating art from the artist is difficult, but there would be little left to enjoy if we rejected everything created by someone who held questionable beliefs. It’s important that we consume art based on its creative value, not the things we like about its creator. So the next time you listen to West’s latest album, let the music speak for itself. dkilcull@indiana.edu
Jordan River Forum LETTER TO THE EDITOR Recently, Congressman Todd Young’s Senate campaign defeated a significant challenge to his candidacy. Despite challenges by opponents in the Democratic and Republican Parties, the Indiana Elections Commission found Young had met requirements to be on the ballot. This was not surprising to me since Young is a former Marine, and Marines are expected to hold themselves to
the highest ethical standards imaginable. Because of this, I believe we can take his word. However I believe this event shows his opponents know Young can win, and are looking for a way to remove him from the race rather than having to face him. During Young’s race for Representative in 2010, he beat then incumbent Baron Hill, the current candidate for Senate. Likewise, during the 2010 election, he defeated a
former Congressman in the primary; so we know that he can beat elected officials as well. Since we know he can win under such circumstances, we should take it that this shows he will probably win both the primary and the general election. This gives his opponents incentive to try to remove him from the ballot to make their potential elections easier. Nevertheless, Young is a former marine, which
shows he’s a fighter and can take whatever his opponents throw at him. He made it through the ballot challenges, he will make it through the primary and he will make it through the general election. I look forward to Young becoming our state’s next Senator, and to the coming election. Brett Heinisch 574-529-5004
LETTER TO THE EDITOR When interviewed for article, IU Foundation launches bicentennial campaign, I was asked how the For All campaign would benefit the organizations I represent. This is not an unusual question, nor is it something I haven’t been asked before. Nevertheless, it made me pause. Of course, as someone who is a part of a minority religious group, I benefit from a more inclusive campus. However, when we talk about inclusivity and diversity in these terms, when we question each individual’s personal stake in the matter, we end up missing the point. When those of us in the For All campaign say
diversity and inclusion is not just for racial and gender minorities, we do not mean to delegitimize the grievances of minority groups. On the contrary, we mean to say that the grievances of minority groups are the same grievances we all ought to have. A lack of diversity and inclusion hurts not just the minorities that are underrepresented, but also those from majority groups who are denied the opportunity to interact with and learn from students of different backgrounds. We need to change the way we view diversity as a society and as a campus. We need to go beyond
seeing it as a quota in need of filling, and more as a measure of how connected we are as a student body made up of individuals of different backgrounds. We need to recognize how integral diversity and inclusion are to a holistic education that prepares students for the real world. The For All campaign is about recognizing that a diverse and inclusive campus is something that benefits all of us, and it’s something all students should strive for. The For All campaign is about celebrating and embracing differences, not erasing them. It’s about realizing learning is sim-
ply better when it involves interaction with students who have unique perspectives and experiences. We’re so excited to make this student-driven campaign a reality, and we hope you’ll be too. The inclusion of Black students on our campus enriches my education. The inclusion of Jewish students on our campus enriches my education. The inclusion of students of different socioeconomic backgrounds, genders, geographic locations, orientations and educational interests enriches my education. Dana Khabbaz dkhabbaz@umail.iu.edu
LETTER TO THE EDITOR Speaking in front of a filled Alumni Hall on Monday night, Ilyasah Shabazz, daughter of the famed political activist Malcolm X, served as what many believed to be the focal point of an evening of black history presented by the Indiana Memorial Union Board. Shabazz’s words struck a powerful chord with the audience, whose eager buzz provided an atmosphere of acceptance and fervor. Yet it was a message delivered before Shabazz ever graced the podium that generated the atmosphere in which desire for reform became palpable. The words of Marselis Byers, a fifth-year senior majoring in history, were able to elegantly divulge the often ignored sentiments of black students. Byers performed a spoken word poem, which he titled “By Any Means.” The poem, achieved with a fluid increase in intensity and volume, spoke to the many facets of modern life for black Americans.
As the rhythmic structure of the poem developed, the audience was granted the privilege of a deeper insight into the frustration filling Byers. The poem conjures an image of a single, black mother. It illustrates her struggles to position her son in a place where he could succeed, before, in a fervent climax, the son is shot dead by police. This ardent reminder of the seemingly oh-so-popular black narrative forced introspection upon those present within Alumni Hall. Byers never explicitly mentioned IU-Bloomington’s campus as a contributing source of society’s treatment of blacks as secondclass citizens, leaving it open to interpretation. Perhaps some figures will help. At a University that was called home by 36,364 undergraduates in fall 2015, a miniscule 4.2 percent, or 1,381 students, were African-American. Monday night’s program acknowledged the sad truth;
black students are tired of being mistreated, sick of their humanity going unrecognized. They remain below whites in an unofficial hierarchy, and it must not endure. Following recent demonstrations on campus that were part of a #BlackLivesMatter campaign, the stage is set for a much needed evaluation of black equality in Bloomington. Black students want their lives to matter. This requires an alteration of systemic practices. Yet, while the system is not easily refined, the college town atmosphere of Bloomington serves as the possible ideal reformation ground. Bloomington maintains a supposed sense of magic, though it is perhaps invisible at times. College campuses live as the birthplace of movements that foster the furtherment of civil rights. Through an appeal for black equality, let’s recapture that elusive ability of sweeping reform that occasionally allows
us sparring glances at its majestic powers. Nowhere else are the conditions for society-altering change constructed so perfectly as a largescale college campus. A ready army of nearly 40,000 wait to find their battle call, coded within the mistreatment of black citizens. Visions of the future are not strange to the college student, it is most everyday they are reminded of the up-and-coming. But this time, abandon the constant visions of one’s self in the future and adopt visions of the community. Picture a people desperate with a craving for equality finally acquiring just that. Be the change that transforms Bloomington to a truly incredible place, one that is home to equality as a result of students who forever transform the landscape of society. It only takes one.

NEVER TELL ME THE ODDS
Dishonesty is sinking the Cruz campaign Ted Cruz has already lost. Sure, his supporters still admire his rigid beliefs and fiery passion so much so they symbolize his campaign as a “Cruz Missile.” But I think his campaign is better described as stuck in “Cruz Control.” Not long ago, he was flourishing. In the three months leading up to the Iowa Caucus, Cruz saw his national support for the GOP nomination soar from 7 percent to 20 percent, according to the RealClearPolitics poll averages. This dramatic rise, coupled with his surprising win in Iowa, could have solidified his stance as the main rival to frontrunner Donald Trump. Instead, Cruz’s image faltered. News quickly emerged that members of his campaign sent messages to Iowans alleging Ben Carson was suspending his candidacy moments before
the Caucus. The Cruz camp urged Carson supporters to switch their votes. Carson, as we know, stayed in the race, leaving us with a salvo of headlines that painted Cruz in a very negative light. Last week, Cruz’s image collapsed further. His campaign released a clearly doctored photograph that showed his opponent Marco Rubio shaking hands with President Obama as they supposedly agreed on a secretive trade deal. Cruz’s downward spiral accelerated when his thendirector of communications circulated a video with fake subtitles that attempted to depict Rubio insulting the Bible. America is much better served by legitimate debates than by lies and personal attacks. I’m appalled by the Cruz camp’s willingness to resort to an unprincipled
win-at-any-cost strategy. Cruz’s rivals reacted to these stories with similar exasperation. In a tweet, Trump blasted Cruz for sinking to “dirty tricks,” and an official memo from the Rubio camp spoke out against Cruz’s “campaign of lies, falsehoods, and underhanded tactics.” Trump and Rubio are right. The blame for the corrupt culture in the Cruz campaign ultimately falls to one man: the candidate himself. A man who won’t lead an honest campaign can’t be trusted to run an honest government. Although Cruz did eventually dismiss his embattled communications director, this came too late to salvage his reputation. After news of the Iowa scandal broke, Cruz’s national support in the polls flattened. His supporters may rationalize the deceitful tactics, but the other 80 percent

of Republican voters haven’t been so forgiving. Americans will never connect with Cruz’s message of resisting the “Washington cartel” when they see him as just another do-anything-toget-ahead politician. As a result, Cruz’s campaign efforts are now futile. Dishonesty should carry a heavy cost. That’s why I’m encouraged to see most Republicans didn’t turn a blind eye to the Cruz campaign’s actions. What remains to be seen is how long Cruz drags this out. For the good of everyone, I hope he humbly admits his mistakes and steps aside sooner rather than later. mitcchri@indiana.edu @AtlasMitchell

IU Opera’s production of “Carmen” features famous music and emotional plot.
By Maia Rabenold mrabenol@indiana.edu | @maialyra
In the streets of 19th-century Seville, Spain, gypsy girl Carmen seduces Cpl. Don Jose. From the moment she, in red, layered skirts with a shawl and fan, lies across his desk and tosses a rose his way, he is smitten. IU Opera’s production of Georges Bizet’s “Carmen” will open Friday. Carmen’s love affairs only last a month or so at a time, and despite her flighty personality, she is a businesswoman, said Patricia Illera, a first year master’s student who plays Carmen in the upcoming production. “She knows how to move people. She knows how to manipulate everyone to get whatever she wants,” Illera said. “Maybe that’s a little cold, but it’s very modern for her time. She’s free and independent. She’s strong.” This take on femininity, which was considered scandalous in Bizet’s time, keeps the story relevant today, Illera said. The feelings that are portrayed onstage are real feelings that remain unchanged by time. Despite the name of the show, much of the plot is driven by the development of Don Jose’s character, said Justin Stolz, a first year performance diploma student who plays Don Jose. “It’s an emotional rollercoaster for him,” Stolz said. “She gets bored of him and tosses him aside, which makes him go crazy. Everyone is brought on his journey and sees how such an innocent soul can deteriorate so quickly.” While there are deeply emotional songs, the music of “Carmen” also contains some of the most well-known operatic arias in history, director Jeffrey Buchman said. “It’s lyric, it’s sexy, it’s passionate, it really has everything.” Buchman said. “It’s got anger and rage in it, it’s got deep emotion and it also has exhilarating tunes that are so easily accessible that many people already know the tunes. They’re just so memorable, they stick in your brain.” The popular melodies like “Habanera” and “Toreador Song” make “Carmen” the perfect choice for novice opera-goers, Illera said. The intense, fast-moving plot and catchy music allow the audience to understand the action even without the surtitles translated from French.

Hoosiers trying to build on opening weekend By Zain Pyarali zpyarali@iu.edu | @ZainPyarali
Dropping two of the first three matchups was not what IU had in mind for its opening weekend against Middle Tennessee State. Getting back into the feel of the game and taking what’s given to the Hoosiers is a main key IU Coach Chris Lemonis touched on regarding his club. The Hoosiers plated 14 runs in the first game of the series but then faltered on day two, dropping both games of the double header in extra innings and scoring just six runs in the two games. “We’re just inexperienced,” Lemonis said. “We did a really good job on Friday, it’s just how the game is played, and you get into one day where you play 21 innings, and it’s like a snowball, it just kept going. Hopefully it won’t be as big of a deal this upcoming weekend.” While the Hoosiers start just one senior in the field, its offensive identity is still yet to be found, Lemonis said. Sophomore outfielder Logan Sowers and junior outfielder Craig Dedelow led the charge for the offense this weekend, combining for three home runs and seven RBIs. IU struck out 29 times at

the plate and also left a total of 36 runners on base in the three game series with quality scoring opportunities. Focusing on having quality at bats in key situations is one thing the Hoosiers can improve on from this past weekend, Sowers said. “We left way too many runners on base,” Sowers said. “We had too many strikeouts. We need to do a better job of the inside game of just getting ground balls to the right side and scoring the runner from third base. It’s a huge part of the game.” The Hoosier starting pitchers, with the exception of senior Kyle Hart, were outstanding until their final inning of work. Hart was the opposite as he started the game off by loading the

bases but then retired his final 15 batters in a row. Senior pitcher Evan Bell tossed four innings of shutout ball before getting roughed up in the fifth inning and replaced. Senior pitcher Caleb Baragar held the Blue Raiders hitless for the first four innings of the game until he allowed a base runner in the fifth and ultimately replaced
after 5.1 innings. “I think if you ask every starter, they say ‘Maybe I had the one inning I could have improved on,’” Hart said. “I think Caleb would’ve liked to get six and Bell would’ve liked to get five. There’s just a few pitches in that game where each guy would’ve liked to get back, but it was a really good basis for us.”
The IU defense was solid for the most part with diving plays made by Dedelow in the outfield, junior second baseman Tony Butler and junior first baseman Austin Cangelosi. Three errors were made all series by the Hoosiers, but two were costly. Both games that were lost in extra innings were because of Hoosier
throwing errors to let Blue Raiders cross the plate in walk-off fashion. Lemonis said the IU practice was a little crisper Monday following the series defeat. “We’re a better team than we showed last weekend, and we know that,” Dedelow said. “We’re going to prove it to ourselves and the rest of the nation this weekend.”
MEN’S SOCCER
IU announces spring schedule, including Mexico match By Michael Hughes michhugh@indiana.edu @MichaelHughes94
The spring season is already underway for the Hoosiers, with a number of high-profile matches still to come, including a match against the Mexican Youth National Team. The Hoosiers played a pair of exhibition matches this past weekend at Mellencamp Pavilion against Xavier and Valparaiso. Both matches were played with nine men a side. IU next plays Indy Eleven
in a closed scrimmage Friday at Mellencamp. The match is closed to the public due to space limitations. “These matches provide our staff with an opportunity to evaluate our positional depth, as well as experiment with players playing in new roles and positions,” IU Coach Todd Yeagley said in a press release. “The quality opponents we face this spring will provide our team with an honest assessment as we prepare for our 2016 fall season.” The Hoosiers lost both their options at forward for next season, with Femi
Hollinger-Janzen drafted by the New England Revolution and Ben Maurey set to graduate in May. His replacements could include sophomore Cory Thomas, who saw time at forward last season, or sophomore Jordan Kleyn, who also played sparingly atop IU’s formation. Midfielder Matt Foldesy will also need to be replaced. His most likely replacement could be sophomore Rece Buckmaster, who often replaced Foldesy when he was hurt last season and could only play portions of matches. IU will also play Southern
Illinois University-Edwardsville in an exhibition April 2 at Bill Armstrong Stadium in a match that is free and open to the public. The Hoosiers will play Butler in a match April 15 in Westfield, Indiana. IU also plays its annual spring game against Notre Dame as part of the Shindigz National Soccer Festival on April 19 in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Ticket information for the entire festival can be found at nationalsoccerfestival.com. “The quality opponents we face this spring will pro-
vide our team with an honest assessment as we prepare for our 2016 fall season,” Yeagley said. “We are also able to play in large crowds on the road up in Indy and Fort Wayne, two great cities that allow our IU alumni to come out and support their IU Soccer team.” But the highlight of the spring season will be the annual matchup against the Mexican Youth National Team on April 24 at Bill Armstrong Stadium. Tickets prices will be announced in the coming weeks, according to the press release. This is the 10th meeting
between IU and the Mexican Youth National Team, with Mexico leading the alltime series 6-3. Mexico won last season’s matchup by a score of 2-1. “We are very excited to once host this incredible event here on campus,” Yeagley said. “It’s a big challenge for our team to compete against some of the best young professional players from Mexico. The game day atmosphere is electric and we encourage everyone to come out and enjoy an International match at Armstrong Stadium.”
SWIM AND DIVE
IU men aiming to improve from women’s Big Ten performance By Hailey Hernandez hmhernan@indiana.edu @hmhernandez10
A second place Big Ten performance by the IU women left the team and IU Coach Ray Looze wanting more. The No. 6 IU women are back in the pool and beginning to gear up for NCAA Finals, but Looze said he had to shift gears a little bit. The other half of his team still has work to do in the pool at the men’s conference finals. Competition in the Big Ten Championships begins Wednesday night in West Lafayette, Indiana, with the conclusion of the meet Saturday night. Again, IU will have to face a tough Michigan team if it has any hope of bringing home a Big Ten title. “We’re going to come out with a tenacious will to win that is uncommon to mankind,” Looze said. “Will it be enough to overcome Michigan? We’ll find out.” The Wolverines, 2015 men’s Big Ten Champs, are setting out to win their sixth consecutive Big Ten Championship. Last year, Ohio State finished second, followed by IU in third. With two of the men’s top divers competing this year for spots on the 2016 Olympic Team, IU continues to look for ways to
create depth in its roster. Junior diver Joshua Arndt and sophomore diver Cody Coldren have done a good job filling these roles so far, Looze said. Their performances have the potential to earn some much-needed points for the Hoosiers as they begin the four-day meet. Last weekend, a group of swimmers from the men’s team traveled to Purdue to compete in the First Chance Invitational. Coach Looze and his staff needed one more look to determine the two athletes who would complete IU’s roster for the conference meet. The final spots went to freshman freestyle swimmer Joey Snodderly and freshman Wilson Beckman, who competes in multiple events. They earned the chance to travel back to Purdue to swim for the Hoosiers this weekend. “I give a lot of credit to them,” Looze said. “I think they have the ability to score some points for us, so that will be another key in creating that depth.” With a team as talented as this one, leaving some good athletes behind is all part of the process, Looze said. But he’d rather have too much potential than not enough. The story remains the
BIG TEN CHAMPIONSHIPS Wednesday-Saturday West Lafayette, Indiana same as it has all year. The Hoosiers’ key to success for the men will be to have a high percentage of people competing at their highest levels. The men’s team needs to score points wherever they can find them, whether it is through the championship A finals or the other finals. “It’s not so much the number of athletes you bring, but its what those athletes can do,” Looze said. “As long as we get guys to come out and swim and record as many personal bests as they can, we’ll see if we can’t manage to shake Michigan a little bit.” Wednesday night’s event finals include the 200-yard medley relay and 800-yard freestyle relay. Preliminary heats begin Thursday and continue Friday and Saturday as well. Championship finals will then follow each night as the Hoosiers hope to bring home a collection of medals. “Bottom line is we just need to have all cylinders rolling,” Looze said. “I think our men have the potential to be a deeper team than our women, so we’re just going to have to see how it all plays out. We are more than ready to go.”

Philadelphia indie rock band Hop Along plays Wednesday night at the Bishop. It released its second album, “Painted Shut,” last year.
» HOP ALONG
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Songs often kick around Quinlan’s head for a while before they’re fully formed, she said. She witnessed the events of “Powerful Man” as a teenager, for example, but didn’t address them until “Painted Shut,” and she first read and wrote about Buddy Bolden in school nine years ago. Even “Sister Cities,” the “Painted Shut” closing track that first surfaced as a single in 2013 was reformed with additional lyrics and music for the album version. “Lyrics, for me, kick around for years,”

Quinlan said. “I keep a lot of journals. I’ve been keeping journals since I was 18. I keep them around and have a look and see if I’ve had any great ideas.” Hop Along has existed in some form for more than a decade, originally under the name Hop Along, Queen Ansleis. Quinlan released an album, “Freshman Year,” under that name in 2006. A few years later, she shortened the name and expanded the band, which now includes her brother Mark on drums and former Algernon Cadwallader guitarist Joe Reinhart. The songwriting process has since become more collaborative, she said, but she
still tends to write on her own and bring skeletons of songs to the band. “I kind of have to come up with stuff on my own,” she said. “I don’t spend a lot of time just playing guitar. I’m generally writing when I’m playing.” Quinlan said the nine months since the release of “Painted Shut” have seen the band touring more than ever. And whereas she said the band’s first full length, 2012’s “Get Disowned,” built interest through word-ofmouth, “Painted Shut” received acclaim in places like Rolling Stone and New York Magazine. “It’s kind of steady in terms
of building fans,” she said. “It’s the first time I’ve met people who said they just heard our band that day.” The band plans to write more music this year, Quinlan said, but for now, the focus is on touring. She still has to figure out what to write about. “I want to write good records,” she said. “I want to make music I can stand behind. I would love to make something and say, ‘That’s exactly what I meant to do,’ but that never happens. But who does that happen for?”
Lonaker family with a crime. The Department of Child Services has been notified. When Myers learned about the shooting, he thought about the boy, how he’ll be devastated by this tragedy for the rest of his life. Then Myers said he thought
about his own children. He has three sons, 8, 10 and 12 years old. They’re fascinated by their toy guns. When he got home from work Monday, Myers told his sons about what had happened to Lonaker, even though it was difficult.
The sheriff struggled with his words but ultimately emphasized just how deadly and lethal their own father’s guns are. “Of course, they had a lot of questions,” Myers said. “I just tried to tell them, ‘Once a bullet leaves a gun, it’s gone.’” has the advantage.

cedes, adds another layer of authenticity, she said. Mercedes, who is from Spain, taught the singers the basics of flamenco to better portray their roles as gypsies. “What I try to give the singers is a vocabulary where they can move and understand the body language of the roles they play,” Mercedes said. Mercedes has been working with the singers for barely three weeks. Some of them had never danced before in their lives, she said. Despite the short amount of time available, the singers have successfully grasped the fundamental movements essential to the dance, Mercedes said.
One of the greatest aspects that make up Sevillano culture is its large tie to the Catholic religion. On my walk to class on an average day, I pass about six churches. The city shuts down on Sundays in observance of the Sabbath, with family and faith as the main priority. At first I thought the integration was fascinating, as I saw everyone pass the memorials to Christ with such grandeur and respect. I have never really been exposed to the Catholic religion — or to Christianity, for that matter — so it was definitely an adjustment, to say the least. It is a rarity that my host mother does not attend church. For others, the norm is to go two or three times a week. There are times when I am walking past a church during evening mass and the entire street is filled with the sounds of hymns, making my walk to meet my friends something I could rarely experience in the states. This past weekend, I took a day trip to Granada, only a three hour train ride away
from my home in Seville. One of my friends had done some research to find the top attractions to fill our day. Her results included the Alhambra, a series of ancient Muslim palaces and gardens, and La Catedral, another church representing the Spanish Renascence. When visiting Seville, one of the top attractions is again La Catedral. This one is much larger and more intricate, with strong connections to Christopher Columbus, but in the end it is another church. Yes, both buildings are gorgeous with the complex, detailed decorations and paintings on the walls. Every aspect was done by hand, from the painted flowers on the edges of a book to the subtle engravings within the organ piping. I just couldn’t believe that the churches I had visited in two of the major cities in Spain were known as the top tourist attractions. In the United States, when someone visits a new city for the first time, there is always a list of activities in mind. Very rarely, at least in my experience, does that in-
clude a tour of the religious buildings within that area. While visiting Granada, I started asking a question regarding all of the different alters and memorials. I was told they were the different saints chosen by God that all specialize in a certain aspect of a person’s life. So if you wanted assistance in that certain aspect, you would pray to that specific saint instead of God for support. This idea shocked me somewhat, because it sounded like people in the Catholic religion prayed to many “idols,” something strictly forbidden in Judaism, which Catholicism streamed from initially. Who would have thought I would be receiving an entire theology lesson in the middle of a more than 450-yearold building in a city I knew little about? That is again the definition of abroad, or at least how I have continued to define it this entire experience. If you stop asking questions, the adventures will cease shortly after.

“It’s a feeling, it’s a posture, it’s lots of hand movement and some footwork,” Mercedes said. “It’s the way they clap, and how to embrace rhythms they’re not used to.

It’s a very complex and passionate art.” The choreography, the costumes, the music and the emotion behind it all come together to tell an intense story of seduction and betrayal, Illera said.

Having grown up watching 1980s fantasy films like “The NeverEnding Story” and “The Dark Crystal,” Brittany Friesner said she is just as excited for the IU Cinema’s screening of “Labyrinth” as anyone else. As part of the cinema’s CINEkids International Children’s Film Series, Friesner, associate director of the cinema, programmed “Labyrinth” for 3 p.m. Saturday. The 1986 fantasy follows teenager Sarah, played by Jennifer Connelly, as she attempts to solve a maze and save her younger brother from a goblin king, played by Toby Froud and David Bowie respectively. Friesner said the film was programmed prior to Bowie’s death in January as a way to commemorate its 30th anniversary. “Our initial hope with this screening was to celebrate a milestone anniversary for a classic kids film, and to give adults who grew up with the film the ability to see one of their childhood favorites on the big screen,” she said in an email interview. “With Bowie’s passing, we certainly want to be respectful and honor his legacy.” A Bowie fan since she was 5 years old, IU alumna Amanda Zuicens-Williams said the CINEKids film series helps expose younger audiences films they wouldn’t otherwise see. “I’m hoping the audience includes kids who will be discovering David Bowie for the first time and walk out of at the end of the movie as Bowie fans,” she said. “I hope they go home and start listening to other Bowie songs and albums.” Jon Vickers, founding director of the cinema, established the CINEKids International Children’s Film Series the cinema’s opening year. Each semester, Friesner
said they strive to program a mix of international films for children, as well as classic films in animation, drama and comedy. In recent years, Friesner said some of the most popular films in the series include “The Goonies,” “My Neighbor Totoro” and “The Sound Of Music.” Friesner said the IU Cinema includes the CINEKids series to accommodate a wide range of audiences. “We are especially interested in helping to cultivate and educate the next general of filmgoers,” she said. “We find it considerably important to offer children’s programming throughout the semester as a gateway for kids to explore different types of cinema they may not find at the local multiplex.” As of Monday, Friesner said there were only 80 tickets remaining of the 260-cap theater. She said she is anticipating the screening to sell out. The film stars David Bowie, the iconic musician, actor and record producer. More than a month after the news of his death, Zuicens-Williams said she is anticipating an emotional screening. “I imagine watching Bowie on the big screen will still be a bit sad,” she said. “I’m definitely bringing some tissues with me. I’m guessing my tears will start about one minute into the opening credits of Labyrinth when Bowie starts singing the words, ‘It’s only forever, not long at all.’” Following Bowie’s death, Friesner said the community’s excitement for the screening was noticeably higher. “We always anticipated this would be a popular screening, as most of our CINEkids screenings attached a good audience,” she said. “But following Bowie’s passing, we knew the screening might attract more non-families given the desire to memorialize such an amazing and visionary artist as Bowie.”
