Students in residential life now have the opportunity to live across the gender and sexual spectrum as one community.

A new thematic community, Spectrum, will be available on the Residential Programs and Services housing application for next school year. It will be located in Teter Quad, which is located in the central neighborhood.

Its mission, according to a press release, is “to create a supportive, engaging and enriching living and learning community for students who identify across the gender and sexual orientation spectrum.”

Barry Magee, assistant director for residential life at RPS, said Spectrum provides a safe place for students to express or develop their identity.

He said the community was proposed last year and was met with a positive response.

“This is just another opportunity for students who are interested in or who feel like they need some kind of support that they may not find somewhere else,” he said.

Senior Ethan Jackson sent a letter of support as part of the Spectrum proposal. He said he identifies as a transgender student and supports the community’s mission to provide an area for anyone interested in being a part of the GLBT community.

Spectrum Thematic Community is open to students who identify with any gender or sexuality and their allies. While it is inclusive of all identities, amenities for GLBT-identifying students are provided.

The floor will consist of mixed gender double rooms with singleoccupant pod bathrooms.

Twenty-eight bed spaces are available on the Spectrum floor. Potential residents must submit a specific application through the RPS website.

Magee said the application asks more in-depth questions about the

When museums highlight world cultures, they often display paintings, sculptures and scripts.

The artistry of clothing and hats, however, often goes unnoticed.

That’s what Brittany Sheldon hopes to change. As a Ph.D. student in art history, Sheldon has dedicated herself to Brittany learning about art Sheldon forms across Africa, concentrating on Ghana, in order to foster awareness of the vast art landscape.

“There’s sort of a view given by the media about Africa, that it’s this mysterious, monolithic place,” Sheldon said. “West and Central Africa and those areas have been connected to Europe and Asia for centuries.”

Sheldon brought her expertise to the IU Art Museum this fall as a graduate assistant to Diane Pelrine, curator of the Arts of Africa, Oceania and the Americas.

Most graduate assistants take charge of at least one exhibit during their time with her, Pelrine said.

Archie Dees kept hearing about a girl named Tyra Buss.

Two close friends from Mt. Carmel, Ill., told him about the high school girls’ basketball phenom.

When Dees, now 79 years old, got the chance to make the 110-mile trip from Bloomington back to his high school stomping grounds, he knew immediately what he saw was special.

“She scored 40, 50 points a game,” Dees said. “Stop and think about that for a minute. I don’t care if you’re playing mumblepeg, that’s a lot of points.”

Dees’ reaction to Buss is the same she has received from the entire town of Mt. Carmel. The now-IU freshman guard set Illinois high school records in several scoring categories, including a 45.8-point per game average her senior season. She went on to set the all-time

career scoring record with 4,897 points.

Dees cheered from afar.

With the exception of his five-year professional career, he has lived in Bloomington since attending IU in 1955. Then-IU Coach Branch McCracken promised Dees if he came to IU, he’d be an All-American. And he was. Dees was also a two-time Big Ten Conference MVP his junior and senior seasons.

Dees started an insurance business in Bloomington. He married his wife, Lori, and had three kids here, two sons and a daughter.

Sixty years after Dees set the Illinois high school scoring record, he heard from Bloomington that Tyra Buss had set one herself.

He never thought his Mt. Carmel record would be broken by a girl — her 40-plus points per game were twice what he scored, Dees said. That brought a smile to his face.

“She did it in style,” he said.

Buss always knew about Archie

Dees. Though he grew up in a small town in Mississippi, Dees’ basketball career took off when his dad moved the family to Mt. Carmel. He became a town legend.

When Buss moved to Bloomington last summer, she got to meet Dees for the first time.

The two formed an immediate friendship. Now, Buss visits him as often as she can, she said, usually on game days. Dees had a plaque made for Buss with their high school scoring careers — and a picture of each of them — side by side.

Global warming could cause more precipitation Snow does not disprove climate change Molecules of water are in the atomosphere as water vapor.

When the global temperature is raised one degree Fahrenheit, the atmosphere is able to hold 4 percent more water.

This increase in water vapor causes more heavy precipitation, including snow.

As students hurry from class to class, shielding their eyes against gusts of snow, they’re probably not thinking about global warming.

However, scientists across the country are saying these blizzards and snow days sweeping the nation may actually be results of a heating planet.

“It is not inconsistent with a warming world to have more frequent and more extreme events with rainfall and snowfall,” said Philip Stevens, a professor at the School of Public and Environmental Affairs.

“One weather storm does not indicate climate change, but if this

continues for years and years, then we’ll be able to say it’s a sign of climate change.”

According to the Second Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change published in 1995, winter precipitation has increased by 10 percent in the last 100 years.

This trend is presumably caused by the rising temperatures in the ocean, which causes increased evaporation and larger amounts of precipitation.

“If you boil water, it will stay warmer longer than if you heat up a piece of toast,” Stevens said of the differing effects of global warming SEE SNOW, PAGE 6

Oscar nominee gains attention for Estonians

YE WANG | IDS

Trenton Fulton, on the IU Auditorium “AudSquad” team, bowls at the Bowl for Kids’ Sake event at the Indiana Memorial Union Bowling and Billiards alley Monday. The event raised money for Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Central Indiana.

From the red carpet in Los Angeles to Bloomington, Estonians are getting attention across America this week.

Students and faculty celebrated Estonian Independence Day yesterday at the Indiana Memorial Union. Following the celebration, many people walked to IU Cinema to view a 2015 Oscar nominee, “Tangerines.”

“Tangerines” is an Estonian-Georgian film about an Estonian during the 1990 war in Georgia who stays behind to harvest tangerines. The story unfolds as he takes care of a wounded man who was left behind.

Estonian film recently

celebrated its 100th anniversary, recognizing about 250 feature films produced over the century.

“Tangerines” brought attention to Estonia this year at the Oscars, breaking away from the typical documentaries and slowmoving films the country has produced in the past.

“Estonian filmmakers are more poets than epic storytellers,” said Department of Central Eurasian Studies Languages Coordinator Piibi-Kai Kivik.

The budget for “Tangerines” was 600,000 euros, or about $680,000. Kivik said many gossipers in LA were surprised to see “such a low-budget film” at the Oscars.

Students bowl for charity

By Bridget Murray bridmurr@indiana.edu @bridget_murray

Gaby Morales stood at the microphone as 11 participants released their bowling balls down the lanes of the Indiana Memorial Union Bowling and Billiards alley at 6 p.m. Monday.

“One, two, three ... bowl,” said the IU senior and vice president of Big Brothers Big Sisters at IU. The first bowlers started their frames bowling backwards, per Morales’ instructions. Morales’ T-shirt, underneath her shimmering cape, bore the 2015 Bowl for Kids’ Sake logo.

Bowl for Kids’ Sake is the largest source of funding for Big Brothers Big Sisters of

South Central Indiana, President of BBBS at IU Kaitlynne Silvers said. This year, the event is at 6 and 8 p.m. Monday through Wednesday at IMU Bowling and Billiards.

Mark Voland, program director for BBBS of South Central Indiana, said IU Bowl For Kids’ Sake is solely driven by the efforts of student organization Big Brothers Big Sisters at IU. “The whole IU Bowl for Kids’ Sake program really is about IU students giving back to the community youths here in Bloomington,” he said.

The fundraising goal this year is $20,000, a $10,000 increase from last year. According to bigsindiana.org, IU Bowl for Kids’ Sake has raised $17,572 as of Monday

night.

The 8 p.m. session teams, Zeta Beta Tau fraternity, Delta Zeta sorority and the AudSquad, IU Auditorium’s team, were major contributors. Voland said these teams had potential to break the fundraising record for one session, previously standing at $4,500.

The three teams combined raised $5,915 for their session.

Meeting the goal of $20,000 would alow BBBS of South Central Indiana to match 20 students with 20 youths, Voland said.

The money is used to fund the process of matching a Little to a Big, Voland said, including interviews of the volunteers and their prospective pair family, background

checks, training, providing match specialists and events for matches.

“The money raised — it develops that relationship between mentor and mentee,” he said. “The main part of it is support, the support that we provide those relationships.”

Beyond fundraising, Voland said Bowl for Kids’ Sake is a way to promote participation and awareness for the BBBS program.

“It creates more awareness of who we are and what our needs are,” he said.

Freshman Maddie Higgins is involved with the fundraising committee for BBBS at IU. She said she personally raised $150.

Fraternities fundraise for cancer charity

By Brett Dworski bworski@indiana.edu | @BrettD93

The fifth annual “Dropping the Puck on Cancer” will begin Thursday at Frank Southern Ice Arena.

Collegiate Charities, an organization aimed at assisting nonprofit organizations with fundraising and event promotions, will promote the event.

Dropping the Puck on Cancer is a series of hockey games played between fraternities to raise money for the American Brain Tumor Association. It began with a single game played between Sigma Chi and Beta Theta Pi in 2011.

Lucian Soro, Sigma Chi’s Dropping the Puck chair, said there are now four games, each with different fraternities.

Last year, the competition brought Sigma Chi against Beta Theta Pi and Kappa

Sigma playing Delta Tau Delta.

This year, Phi Delta Theta will compete against Theta Chi and Lambda Chi Alpha will face Delta Upsilon.

Soro said Dropping the Puck on Cancer also hosts percentage nights at local restaurants and sorority events.

He said participation and funds raised by these events has increased every year.

In their first year, Soro said they only raised $2,000. They raised more than $43,000 last year.

Kappa Sigma Co-Chair for Dropping the Puck on Cancer and IU Hockey player Kyle Donelson said the event brings opposing fraternities together to support a cause greater than themselves.

“Dropping the Puck on Cancer channels rivalries throughout the Greek system and uses them to support a great cause,” he said.

“It also helps to support local hockey in the Bloomington area by donating some of the proceeds to the Bloomington Blades, who volunteer at our event.”

Dropping the Puck on Cancer is one of the fastest growing organizations on campus, Soro said.

“We perform great work and donate our proceeds to an extremely important cause,” he said. “Fundraising aside, Dropping the Puck is different from almost everything else at IU. We’ve combined philanthropy and healthy athletic competition to grow our appeal from year to year amongst several organizations on campus.”

Donelson said the event does a great job of attracting attention toward brain cancer as well as having a profound effect on the future.

Nearly 700,000 people in the United States alone are

being treated for brain tumors, Donelson said.

“Dropping the Puck is just another example that shows that greek life isn’t just about the social life,” he said. “It’s a beautiful thing seeing 18- to 22-year-olds come together to play a sport they love while also raising money for something that will indeed affect a lot of us in our lifetimes.”

Soro said the goal each year is to beat last year’s total raised amount. Another major goal is to make the other games as recognized as the Sigma Chi-versus-Beta match.

Dropping the Puck has expanded to other universities such as the University of Michigan, the University of Illinois, the University of Minnesota and more, with an ultimate goal of becoming nationally recognized.

“We understand that will come in due time,” Donelson said.

IU receives grant for antibiotics research

By Hannah Boone hanboone@indiana.edu @hannah_boone

A group of six IU researchers was awarded $3.3 million Feb. 5 by the National Institute of Health to continue studies in antibiotic resistance.

Biologists Yves Brun, Malcolm Winkler, Dan Kearns and Sidney Shaw have joined with chemists Michael VanNieuwenhze and Stephen Jacobson to analyze the cell walls of Bacillus subtilis, E. coli and Streptococcal pneumonia, some of the most studied bacteria that represent families of major pathogens that cause many human diseases.

Their recent advances involve using microscopic probes to tag single cells of

bacteria with fluorescent dyes and observe each cell with high-resolution microscopes to better understand how bacteria build their cell wall, peptidoglycan.

Understanding how the cell wall is built and how it replicates and divides is the next step in new drug development.

“If you can see how something is being built, you have a better chance of being able to develop ways to interfere with the building process,” VanNieuwenhze said in a press release from the University.

Winkler, a professor of biology, specializes in S. pneumoniae and its increasing multidrug resistance. Winkler said cell walls have been the most druggable, or easily treated, part of any bacteria thus far. But that doesn’t

mean the methods currently in effect will work forever.

“I think the cell wall is a complicated molecule. To really get progress and then push things along, you need to have teams of people working to solve problems nowadays, because the problems are hard,” he said. “But, the beauty of it is, the problems have always been hard but the technology is pretty amazing.”

IU’s Light Microscopy Imaging Center houses some of those new technologies, namely 3D-SIM microscopes that allow the research team to observe bacteria at high resolutions in three dimensions. In the past, that has been hard to do since bacteria like S. pneumoniae are one micrometer in diameter, or 0.00001 meters.

Using these microscopes, the team has found ways to chemically synthesize the fluorescent dyes so that they appear only when cells begin the process of replication.

“So, if that happens, then the only place you’re going to see fluorescence is where it binds. And that’s very cool,” Winkler said. “It will allow a lot of different kinds of experiments to be done much easier.”

Another goal of the project is to be able to synchronize the bacteria — basically, to hold the bacteria into little channels and watch a single cell tagged with these dyes divide from one to two to three to four to five in liquid medium.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 Language Film, she said she is happy the film was nominated and that Estonia was represented Sunday night.

Estonia is a small country in the northeastern borders of Europe, just south of the Gulf of Finland.

Its independence was originally established Feb. 24, 1918, then reestablished in 1991 after breaking away from Soviet control.

“We are celebrating a tradition that many natives dreamed about, shed tears about, but could not celebrate for so long,” Kivik said.

She said the celebration of their independence would result in serious consequences, likely death, under the control of the Soviet Union in the mid-20th century.

Only two American universities have a curriculum solely dedicated to Estonian studies: IU and the University of Washington.

Kivik said she takes pride in the curriculum at IU because students can receive a complete education of the language.

The only two undergraduate students of the language program, sophomores Ty Debes and Chelsea Bonhotal, recited traditionally-known poems of Estonia.

“If there were more students in the program, you would have heard a lot more poems tonight,” Debes said, laughing.

These poems were not translated into English because there are no English versions available.

Kivik said poems and literature from Estonia

are rarely translated at all, which is “more incentive for people to learn Estonian.”

There are close to 1 million speakers of Estonian and only about 35 universities across the globe that teach the language, which is why Kivik said she wants to bring more attention to the program on campus.

Ain Haas, previous president and current treasurer of the Estonian Society of Indianapolis, played a kannel for the audience.

A kannel is a string folk instrument, native to Estonia and surrounding countries, played in traditional settings.

After closing the ceremony with the Estonian national anthem, traditional food dishes like kringel, pirukas, potato salad and rosolje sat on the table for attendees after the short program.

Kringel is a sweet bread and “an absolute must for holidays and celebration,” as deemed by Kivik.

Pirukas are a meat-filled pastry, commonly seen on coffee tables and at traditional gatherings in Estonia. Rosolje is a beetroot herring, which Kivik said requires a desire for a “very specific taste.”

Kivik decided to commemorate the holiday a day early this year so the celebration would coincide with the film showing. She said Estonia has had a very good year.

Jamsheed Choksy, Department of Central Eurasian Studies chair, said he was happy to see students involved in the celebration of Estonian independence once again this year — pirukas and potato salad in hand.

Tight. Teter Thompson 2 is Tighter.”

Higgins said she is involved in the organization because she hopes to be paired with a Little in the future and knows the costs included in that process.

“I wanted to get a big team going just to come out and bowl and support a

really good cause,” she said.

Silvers said she has no doubt Bowl for Kids’ Sake will surpass its fundraising goal, but does not want the success to stop there.

“For me it’s just a way to engage other people in the IU community in a cause they wouldn’t otherwise be involved in,” she said.

“Ideally, I just want it to keep growing and growing.”

Bowl for Kids’ Sake has grown to a record number of 44 teams this year. Students are still able to register for the event on its webpage.

For next year, Silvers said, “We’ll probably need even more nights of bowling.”

The Monroe County Humane Association defeated West Lafayette’s Almost Home Humane Society in a competitive fundraiser this weekend.

Donations totaled about $1,200, with Monroe County raising $780.

Everyone wins in this rivalry, though. Donations in Monroe County went toward the spay and neuter assistance fund for the Humane Association, while donations collected in West Lafayette went toward the treatment of flea and heartworm fund for the Almost Home Humane Society.

Rebecca Warren, executive director of MCHA, said it was a “battle of the fans.”

“So if we win, their executive director or communications manager would take a pie in the face,” Warren said before the winners were announced. “If they win, I take a pie in the face.

It’s bragging rights and humiliation — it’s a lot of that.”

Liz Stamper, executive director for AHHS, took a pie to the face Friday morning to mark the end of the competition.

“We’re always accepting donations for our animals, and while we came up short for this fundraiser, we always look forward to the different ways we can get others involved in what we do,” Stamper said.

A video of Stamper’s pie in the face can be found on the AHHS Facebook page.

donation can, and everyone else is already beating me,” Warren said at the start of the fundraiser.

The MCHA’s donation can had close to $100 after the first day of the fundraiser, not including online donations or donations collected from the cans located around the community.

“We’re gonna spend most of tomorrow pushing it before the game starts and collecting the donation cans that are out there,” Warren said.

Warren joked about wearing a giant dalmatian costume to bring in lastminute donations before the results were tallied after the game.

AHHS also participated with donation cans around the West Lafayette community and online fundraiser donations.

“We dressed up our dog statue inside the lobby in Purdue gear with hopes that people would fill up his belly with coins and treats for the fundraiser,” Stamper said.

MCHA’s $100 was trailing West Lafayette’s $336 until it received a check in its mailbox with “GO HOOSIERS,” written in the memo, which put it back in the competition.

“It doesn’t matter who wins,” Warren said. “Both organizations will win because we will be able to raise a bit more awareness about our cause, get some more donations directed towards our cause and have a little fun with the challenge at the same time.”

MCHA has enough to provide spay and neuter assistance to more than 20 animals in the Bloomington area thanks to its fundraising efforts, Warren said.

The team has already begun to get results. Several studies that had started before the grant was being reviewed are in the process of being published fairly soon.

“Our goal is to understand the process at the fundamental level but also to shed light on the ways we can study and find new targets. As we understand the dynamics of these new tools, we may end up finding ways to inhibit peptidoglycan,” Winkler said.

Phone books unwanted, but still delivered

By Annie Garau agarau@indiana.edu | @ agarau6

When Jessica Wilson opened her door, she was surprised to see four yellow phone directories sitting on the front steps.

“That seems like such a huge waste,” Wilson said. “I can’t even imagine why they still exist. I’ve never heard of anyone I know using them.”

The company that owns the Yellow Pages, Local Search Association, would beg to differ.

According to the company’s own research, 60 percent of consumers still use the print directories to find local businesses. Based on these numbers, the company continues to print more than 115 million directories every year in the United States.

These numbers have gone down in recent years, but the books are still used by many senior citizens as well as the millions of Americans with no access to Internet, said Wesley Young, the company’s vice president of public affairs.

LSA’s catering to an older crowd is implicit in the abundance of advertisements for back pain relief, electrical stairlifts and Lifeline Medical Alert programs in its phone books.

On the other hand, some investors continue to place ads simply because they

always have.

“We’ve been placing ads in the Yellow Pages for 35 years,” said Larry McConnaughy, president of the Irish Lion Restaurant and Pub. “We’ve downsized significantly. At one point we used to have two whole pages.

Soon we probably won’t have any ads at all.”

LSA said every ad dollar spent on yellow pages advertising generates $21.74 in income. Though McConnaughy said the directory ads aren’t cheap, he thinks they continue to be worth the cost.

Unlike other paper advertising, the phone directories are meant to stay in the house for a year at a time.

Thus, some advertisers feel it’s a stronger investment than a daily newspaper.

That logic can only be applied, however, if the books make it into the house in the first place.

“I just left them sitting out there,” Wilson, an IU senior, said. “I see them when I get home from class and I’m tired, and I’ve got a lot of things on my mind.

Phone books just aren’t one of them.”

Many of the books travel directly from the stoop to the recycling bin.

“Every once in a while I see a big spike in phone books,” said Chad Roeder, owner of the Downtown Bloomington Recycling

Center. “We typically get more right after they do their drop-offs.”

Roeder estimates the center receives 20 to 25 phone books every week.

“That’s about 40 or so pounds a week over 52 weeks,” he said. “So that’s over one ton of phone books each year, and that’s just the ones that are getting recycled. I bet at least half of them are ending up in the trash.”

Because trash isn’t sorted, there is no way to know how many phone books actually end up in landfills each year.

The EPA formerly estimated the directories make up less than 1 percent of solid waste.

It has now stopped measuring the amount of directories.

Some cities, such as San Francisco, have attempted to make phone books available by request only.

When the legislature was written, the Yellow Pages sued the city on the grounds that prohibiting them from distributing their product to everyone was a violation of the First Amendment.

The court upheld the company’s views, and the directories continue to be automatically distributed to all residents, unless the subscription is canceled.

Young justified the company’s desire to maintain its policy of automatically delivering directories to each

While usage has gone down in recent years, phone books are still used by senior citizens and those without Internet access.

household.

“When you say that you won’t get a book unless you ask for one, you lose a significant number of people with that step,” Young said.

“That sort of opt-in policy would also be discriminatory against the people who need the yellow pages most.”

Young said people who do not need the yellow pages are typically technologically

savvy and have reliable access to Internet.

For this reason, it is easier for them to request that the phone book deliveries stop than it would be for someone who actually needs the directory to go online and ask that a phone book be delivered, should the company start providing books on a request-only basis.

Wilson thinks there are

other methods of solving the problem of unwanted phone books.

“I feel like they could just start by sending out a piece of paper with a number to call for requesting the books,” Wilson said.

Opting out of phone book deliveries takes only about two minutes. To stop directory deliveries, visit www.yellowpagesoptout.com.

By Brian Gamache bgamache@indiana.edu | @brgamache

Positive economic activity marked the beginning of 2015, with employment and consumer confidence rising, according to recent reports.

Nationwide employment rose by 257,000 for January, according to a Feb. 6 report. by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The consumer confidence index, a measure of consumer optimism in the economy, also grew in February, according to Nielsen. The index rose from 93.1 in December 2014 to 102.9 in January, the highest level since August 2007, according to the Nielsen report.

In addition to overall consumer confidence, specific portions of consumer confidence in business, labor market, earnings and shortterm economic conditions all increased from December to January as well.

The index is compiled by the Nielsen Conference Board and is generally accepted as an accurate measure of economic expectations.

Higher consumer confidence correlates with increased consumer spending, which contributes to higher economic growth rates.

The employment situation also appeared promising for the first month of the year.

Despite the increase in the total number of employed individuals, the unemployment rate showed little change, staying at 5.7 percent, as did the total number of unemployed at 9 million.

The unemployment rate has remained relatively consistent since October 2014.

The increase in employment did not decrease the unemployment rate because the labor force participation rate, defined as the proportion of able-bodied adults

actively seeking work in the last four weeks, rose by 703,000 in January.

This increased the labor force participation rate to 62.9 percent, an increase of .2 percent.

Though the unemployment rate represents all those who are looking for work and cannot find it, the labor force participation rate measures how many adults in the U.S. choose to look for work and includes the category of discouraged workers.

Discouraged workers are defined as those who want to work and have searched for work in the last six months but have stopped actively looking for work because they believe no jobs are available. These workers are not counted in the unemployment rate.

Because of this, an increase in total jobs and the labor force participation rate, coupled with a constant

unemployment rate, is a positive economic sign.

The number of long-term unemployed, those not holding a job for 27 weeks or more, remained unchanged.

The retail, construction, health care, financial and manufacturing sectors were the main contributors to the job growth, according to the report.

Retail contributed 46,000 jobs, health care 38,000 jobs, financial 26,000 jobs and construction 22,000 jobs during the course of the month, according to the report.

The full employment report can be accessed at the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ website under the employment and unemployment section of economic releases.

The consumer confidence report can be accessed at www. confidence-board.org under the view data and analysis section.

Man arrested for alleged residential entry, battery From IDS reports

Yeyi Ma, 21, was arrested on preliminary charges of residential entry, intimidation and battery early Sunday morning, according to a Bloomington Police Department arrest report. BPD officers were dispatched to the 3100 block of East Stratum Way regarding an assault and intimidation with a knife, Capt. Joe Qualters said.

A male complainant told officers that he was having a party when a neighbor, Ma, asked him to turn his music down. Ma then reportedly entered the apartment without invitation. Ma reportedly grabbed a knife in the apartment and held it to his throat, saying “Kill me, kill me,” Capt.

Qualters said.

Ma then waved the knife around in the kitchen and couldn’t be contained by the

party’s attendees. A male attempted to calm him down in the apartment’s living room, then Ma struck the man’s girlfriend in the left side of her face with his fist and punched and kicked the man, Capt.

Qualters said. The woman reportedly had a visible injury and swelling on her face.

Ma sat in front of the apartment door and wouldn’t leave until he was forced out. When officers arrived and talked

to Ma, he said he had gone downstairs to ask them to turn down their music when one of the men at the party said “Fuck you,” Capt. Qualters said.

Ma reportedly denied ever punching anyone or picking up a knife, but the clothing he was wearing matched the description the complainant provided, Capt. Qualters said.

The value of college, the importance of timely completion and the need to show knowledge are the three issues driving Indiana’s redesign of education.

Indiana Commission for Higher Education commissioner Teresa Lubbers emphasized these issues in Monday’s State of Higher Education Address.

While the value of a college degree is coming under more scrutiny, she spoke about a number of benefits of attaining a post-secondary education.

“Education is about preparing people to live meaningful, fulfilling lives,” Lubbers said.

Purdue University, in partnership with Gallup and the Lumina Foundation, developed the Gallup-Purdue Index, a system of measuring the satisfaction and well-being of college graduates. Its first report, which studied more than 30,000 higher education graduates, concluded “students get the most value out of their degrees when we give them the experience to succeed in the modern economy.”

Lubbers said college graduates earn an average of $20,000 more per year than non-college graduates.

Lubbers also acknowledged another issue many college students face: being able to graduate on time.

“The most affordable degree is an on-time degree, and piling on debt by delaying graduation is a serious problem,” Lubbers said.

“Borrowing money and not graduating is disastrous.”

She focused on a number of policies many universities and colleges have implemented to counteract this and mentioned a project the ICHE has implemented, the 15-to-Finish Campaign in Indiana.

The 15-to-Finish Campaign highlights the importance of graduating in four years and encourages students to enroll in 15 credit hours each semester. Lubbers announced the progress the campaign has made.

“Just one year after financial aid reforms went into

effect, we are already seeing double-digit improvements in the number of students enrolling and completing 30 or more credits per year,” Lubbers said. “This is a giant step towards better graduation rates, more affordable college degrees and a stronger Hoosier workforce.”

To address the need to show more knowledge, Lubbers said there is a growing necessity for students to be able to partake in internships or work-based learning while studying at a university.

“What we’re witnessing in Indiana is a blurring of the lines between education and employment,” Lubbers said in her address. “A small — but growing — number of young students are receiving post-secondary education and job training at the same time, and more older adults are deciding to return and complete their education while working.”

Lubbers credited the state’s universities for working to adapt degree programs to fit the needs for employers in today’s economy but said she didn’t think colleges and universities are taking it far enough.

“We need our institutions to identify and face the needs of our modern economy head on, and that means a determined departure from the insulated world of academia,” Lubbers said. “Building on what has been the most successful higher education system in the world, we are facing new demands from employers.”

Recently, employers have begun to demand more educated and trained employees.

“It should be the rule and not the exception that students have quality, workbased learning,” Lubbers said.

This builds upon the goal that has been set by Gov. Mike Pence, Lt. Gov. Sue Ellspermann and the IHCE to add 10,000 more internships in the state of Indiana.

“It’s time for Indiana to increase efforts that give more Hoosiers the education tools they need to live meaningful lives,” Lubbers said. “Our state depends on it.”

Immigration nation WE SAY: Executive order is needed to end delay Once again, President Obama is in the news for attempting to keep one of his campaign promises.

This time, Obama is under fire for using executive orders to push forward immigration reform, a process which has many Republicans yelling cries of “tyranny” and “dictator” from the rooftops.

U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen, from Brownsville, Texas, ruled last Monday that Obama exceeded his legal authority when he issued an executive order to defer deportations for immigrants.

We on the Editorial Board believe strongly that our nation’s immigration system is broken.

It is a system that has fragmented, figuratively impaling the dreams and hopes of millions of immigrants with the splinters of a series of cracked, imploded policies.

It is a system that has torn apart families, forced millions of immigrants to live in secrets and caused the deaths of countless others.

It is inhumane, it is unintellectual and it does not work.

Thus, it’s no surprise that Obama wants to push forward immigration reform to try and better the system as it currently stands.

As any successful leader should, Obama is not settling for the status quo of immigration policy as it stands, which is to more or less capture immigrants and escort them out of our country.

Putting aside the irony of Americans, those of a land created entirely by illegal immigrants, being opposed to allowing immigrants to stay in our nation, it’s amazing that both Democrats and Republicans say again and again that our immigration system is broken.

And yet we, as a nation, have delayed immigration reform extensively enough that it’s become necessary for the president to invoke his power of executive orders.

This is not a question of democracy being side-stepped or overthrown.

This is not a breakage of the chains that bind our three branches of government to one another to protect the people. This is an example of a president desperate to keep his nation moving forward to avoid stagnation and, as a result, decay.

The Obama Administration has begun seeking an emergency court order to move the executive order on immigration forward, despite Judge Hanen’s ruling.

If the court order is accepted, Hanen’s ruling will have no effect on Obama’s immigration orders.

If Speaker of the House John Boehner or Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell are serious about passing immigration reform legislatively, they ought to work with Congressional Democrats to pass a reasonable piece of legislation rather than continuing to stonewall the President at every turn.

As a result of their continued stalling, our immigration system has only continued to splinter and collapse in upon itself, suffocating millions of immigrants in the process.

And we as a people must stand up and demand more than that from our government.

We deserve a government that works together to get policies passed to better our nation. We must demand that Congressional Democrats and Congressional Republicans work together to pass comprehensive immigration reform.

Barring that, we deserve a president who will stand up and take action when no one else will. And that’s what we got when we elected President Obama.

And if you don’t like that, pass a law.

Shoutout to the hard-working professors of IU Last week, one of my managing editors told me I should write about something happy for a change.

I must admit that writing about my qualms with social injustices or complex world issues can be cumbersome.

So, I thought I’d give it a go.

After racking my brain — yes, this took some thinking — I found something ‘happy’ I could write about for my column this week.

So, I’ve decided to take this time to express my gratitude and appreciation for all of the hard-working, passionate and dedicated professors here at IU. Our professors are one of our most important assets as college students. And too often, I think we undervalue them.

We may not truly realize just how much time and energy our professors

will put into the lesson plan for each day.

Just like learning necessary skills is our job as students, it is our instructors’ job to help us gain those skills. It is their job to challenge us, question us and prepare us for that everdaunting thing called the real world. Let’s give them some credit for it.

I’ve had professors who I know I’ll remember 20 years down the road; I’ve also had some I will probably not remember in that time. But for the teachers whose influences are life-changing, I think that is something to celebrate.

When registering for classes each semester, I always look at the instructors’ reviews on RateMyProfessors.com. The reviews are usually accurate and I can gain a sense of what kind of professor I’ll be spending an entire semester with in the

classroom. I’ve based many of my decisions for which classes to take from these reviews. And I’ve been pretty satisfied with my professors in my three years at IU. And when you have a professor who you just know is going to make a long-term impact on your life, it’s a pretty good feeling.

It’s those professors who push us, who drive us to be the very best of ourselves.

It’s when you can see the passion in their voice and the fire in their eyes when they are teaching, and when you can feel it ignite that passion in yourself as well.

It’s about the feeling I get when I walk out of class every day, learning something I hadn’t known when I walked through the door an hour beforehand.

I remember becoming genuinely upset once last semester when the professor of my favorite class

canceled the lesson one day. But we had so much to cover. But I wanted to learn.

The professors who put their faith in us, who encourage us to voice our opinions because they genuinely believe that our voices matter, are the people we should be celebrating.

They are here to help us learn from our mistakes and to see us grow. And surprisingly enough, they care about us, too.

They are our educators, our guides and our motivators to learn all that we can in our four short years as students. Let us always remember this and thank our professors profusely. nrowthor@indiana.edu

The editorial board comprises columnists contributing to the Opinion page and the Opinion editors.

The casual social observer needs little prompting to realize members of our culture are taught subconsciously to over-apologize.

This issue has been shown to take an especially heavy toll upon women, compelling them to apologize for completely reasonable acts such as doing their jobs, seeking clarification or simply occupying a seat or space.

In September of 2010, the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada, published two small studies about men and women’s experiences with apologies.

In the first study, men and women were asked to keep a diary and record every instance where they either committed or were on the receiving end of an offense, followed by noting whether or not an apology was issued.

The second study presented participants with a variety of scenarios and asked them to predict how they would typically respond.

The results of these studies show that while both men and women are fine with apologizing when they deem an action worthy of contrition, women are markedly more likely than men to feel the need to apologize.

Pantene released a powerful video, “Not Sorry,” in June 2014.

The first portion of the clip draws our attention to everyday scenarios when most women find themselves needlessly apologizing, such as asking a colleague a question.

During the second half of the video, the same actresses reenact the scenes using assertive language that is polite but confident.

This video highlights the

pervasiveness of over-apologizing, both in women and in our culture as a whole.

There is no need to say sorry for occupying space on a public bus or asking a professor a simple question.

Exchanges of this nature are meant to be neutral, equal interactions; however, we tend to automatically add a power dynamic by apologizing immediately.

Superfluous and immediate apologizing can also harm an individual’s credibility.

By beginning a presentation, interview or meeting with some variation of “sorry,” we mark ourselves as uncertain and imply a possible lack of experience.

Instead, let’s encourage our peers, colleagues and selves to project surety in our work.

While we do not want to develop arrogance or false security, good things can come from an employee, student or friend who is willing to communicate clearly and assertively.

Whether we realize it or not, the language we use paints a picture of our thoughts and feelings.

When speaking on behalf of ourselves, we are our own best advocates; no one else can understand our perspectives and reality better.

Commit to contemplating the words you use in everyday scenarios — perhaps you’ll find a need to speak with more assurance. sjdickma@indiana.edu

GUENTHER WITH AN “E”

Religiously discriminatory I am a man of faith and, as such, I am a man of compassion and a man of empathy.

I try everyday to treat people as my equal, and I try to live by the golden rule.

I also support the right of millions of Americans to express their religious identity and to live their life by their own standards, so long as those standards don’t infringe upon the life, liberty or property of others.

In our state legislature, there is a piece of legislation progressing that seeks to place the religious liberty of the many before the personal liberty of the few.

Senate Bill 101, deemed the “religious freedom” bill, passed the Senate Judiciary Committee in a vote of 7-0, with no Democrats present to oppose the bill.

Sen. Scott Schneider, R-Indianapolis, is pushing hard for the bill in the Senate, saying “The right of each person to practice his or her religious faith is one of America’s foundational principles.”

While I don’t argue this is true, I do contest there must be a limit placed on the religious liberty exercised by entities such as businesses.

As former Star Trek actor George Takei said in a speech to Butler University, “If you’re opening up a business, you’re opening up a business to do business.

And that’s with everyone in your community.”

This is larger in scope than a bakery refusing to bake a cake for a same-sex wedding.

While hurtful emotionally, that type of discrimination does not have the same effect as, say, a pediatrician refusing to treat a child of a same-sex couple.

Michigan has no laws protecting gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender people from discrimination.

Jami and Krista Contreras, a married, lesbian couple in

Andrew Guenther is a sophomore in political science.

Oak Park, Mich., took their daughter, Bay, to a pediatrician’s office several months ago.

After arriving at the pediatrician’s office, Dr. Vesna Roi, their chosen doctor, was not present.

Instead, one of Roi’s colleagues told the couple that “after praying on it,” Dr. Roi has decided she would not care for the child.

Dr. Roi send the Contrerases a letter saying she felt she would not be able to develop the same personal patient-doctor relationship that she normally would with her patients.

In other words, Dr. Roi would be unable to treat her patients as all doctors ought to treat their patients — as human beings.

If Senate Bill 101 passes through the Senate and then through the House, I have no doubt Gov. Pence will sign it into law.

And this will open the floodgates for discrimination to crush the lives of thousands of LGBT individuals and couples across this state.

I love Indiana, but I cannot stand by her as her legislators consistently try to make it harder for people like myself to live our lives.

If patients can be denied medical care for being LGBT, what’s next?

Can utility companies refuse to provide LGBT homes with water or electricity?

Can schoolteachers refuse to teach the children of LGBT parents?

This much will be uncertain under Senate Bill 101.

LGBT Hoosiers need more protections from a tyrannical majority, not less. ajguenth@indiana.edu

He gives me advice. He knows what it’s like to play in the Big Ten, and he knows what it takes to be a student-athlete.”

With the last couple of weeks of the season approaching, Buss has started every game as a freshman, averaging 11.4 points per game while also making a difference on defense with 58 steals, the most for a freshman in the Big Ten. She never has a shortage of fans at home games. Buss chose to attend IU in part so her parents wouldn’t have too far to travel to see her play. As it turned out, that was a plus for the whole town. Her fans aren’t just relatives. They’re former elementary school teachers. They’re young girls who aspire to be like her.

After every game, Buss is the last to leave the court because of the mass of fans swarming for her autograph.

final display, Sheldon said.

“I first started out with what would be the most visually interesting, but I also wanted to get a good geographic distribution,” Sheldon said.

Sheldon added the goal is to show the association between this art form and a common form of commerce in Africa.

“The overarching theme behind this show, the way that I’ve tied them together, is through a history of trade and how the material used to makes the hats has been connected,” Sheldon said.

Sheldon said the materials used to make the hats can inform viewers about the wealth of the person trading them.

These range from beads, a common form of currency, to more valuable material.

“One of the hats has

metal components,” Sheldon said. “It has a metal disk on it that represents wealth.”

Sheldon, who graduated with a master’s degree from IU in 2009, said she also put together a display of photographs for the Mathers Museum of World Cultures earlier this year with guidance from Manager of Exhibitions Matthew Sieber.

Sheldon said art has been a part of her life since she was young, though her own artistic experience is limited.

“My father is an artist and an art teacher,” Sheldon said.

“I grew up going to museums and galleries. It’s my world.”

Hats, Sheldon added, are a good introduction for those interested in learning more about how art and commodity converge in some parts of the world.

“I tried to make it a good

entry point,” Sheldon said.

“It’s through something people can relate to. You can see the variety of forms that exists, and through that audiences can learn about complex histories of trade and contact with outsiders.”

Pelrine said another point is to ensure students like Sheldon have the opportunity to experience putting an exhibit together start to finish.

“In giving Brittany the chance to organize this exhibition and write a brochure to go with it, the museum offered her a valuable educational and professional experience,” Pelrine said.

“Offering students that sort of opportunity and guiding them through it is an important part of what the IU Art Museum, as a university art museum, is all about.”

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 on water versus on land.

According to the Union of Concerned Scientists, the atmosphere is able to hold 4 percent more water every time the temperature rises by 1 degree Fahrenheit.

As the planet heats up, the atmosphere holds more water and then proceeds to dump it on the ground in the form of torrential rains and snowfalls.

In the Midwest, the number of days with heavy precipitation has increased by 27 percent in the past 50 years, and scientists predict the pattern will continue.

The 2009 Midwest Climate Change report from the Union of Concerned Scientists estimated Indianapolis will see a 35-percent increase in heavy rainfalls in the next few decades alone.

Though the increasing number of snow storms seems to serve as evidence of climate change, scientists caution against reading too much into the data.

community will decide how the money is spent, guided by the principles of what the floor is about, Magee said.

Magee said the community should be rooted in helping marginalized students be successful.

“This might be a small group of people,” Magee said. “But majority doesn’t rule.”

He said identification is not just male and female anymore, and more residential living should be able to accommodate for that.

“Allow the box to be broader, or just blow the box apart,” he said.

Jackson said operating on campus for transgender students can be difficult.

Magee said the community should allow residents to be comfortable sharing their differences and diversity and feel validated in doing so.

“Those conversations can be so rich,” he said. “If we’re willing to have them.”

Dev Niyogi said snow can be tricky to research.

“It’s really difficult to say what’s causing increased snow because precipitation depends on a large number of factors,” Niyogi said. “It’s not just what happens on the surface, but what happens above the surface where the clouds are formed as well as how much moisture is in the air and a host of other things.”

Niyogi did concede some evidence suggests shifts in precipitation types resulting in heavier rains and more extreme weather.

Though these changes might make us shiver through the winter, Stevens said it’s important to think of the bigger picture.

“I think it’s common to see that it’s cold in your backyard and think, ‘So how can we have global warming?’” he said. “The key word is ‘global.’ Temperatures in the U.S. are not necessarily indicative of what’s happening on a global scale.

When you look at the world as a whole, it’s warmer than average.”

Losing focus in the gun debate WE SAY: Preventing sexual assault is an illegitimate excuse for the argument to arm students on campus If you have been following along in the news from state legislatures lately, you are probably under the impression that there has been some kind of epidemic of crime on college campuses.

Students are organizing protests to allow more guns on campus and to allow concealed carry permits to apply to college campuses.

And gun rights advocates and legislators are going around spouting theories of how guns can prevent crimes common on college campuses.

One of the most prominent organizations, Students for Concealed Carry, was formed in response to the Virginia Tech mass shooting in 2007. It claimed armed students could have helped stop the massacre sooner.

This organization, along with one of its executives, IU senior Crayle Vanest, was recently featured in the New York Times for its push to expand concealed carry onto IU’s campus.

As Oklahoma State University professor and National President of sexual assault prevention organization One in Four John D. Foubert said in the article,

“If you have a rape situation, usually it starts with some sort of consensual behavior, and by the time it switches to nonconsensual, it would be nearly impossible to run for a gun.”

The evidence shows rape and sexual assault is not likely to occur in a context that a gun would be useful, meaning sexual assault has no place in the concealed carry debate. This misunderstanding of crime in general, and sexual assault specifically, is why the Editorial Board cautiously stands against this proposal.

“The most important thing about concealed carry isn’t the gun,” Miles Vining, President of IU’s chapter of Students for Concealed Carry said. “The gun is just a tool, and the tool won’t be useful to you without the right mindset.”

Vining also made a point to emphasize the organization’s activities to increase situational awareness and a defensive mindset, which he described as the true virtue of concealed carry.

This raises a question of the organization’s priorities. If the true virtue of concealed carry is really in the mindset

and not the gun, why not focus advocacy efforts toward defensive training?

Training people to be more aware of their surroundings and better prepared to defend themselves could be a legitimate solution many of the issues Students for Concealed Carry is passionate about — but we don’t hear any of them in the policy discussion, nor is this mindset a requirement in obtaining a permit.

The Editorial Board is not in favor of meritless bans, but instituting concealed carry while ignoring what the organization itself believes to be the real benefits is just bad policy work.

Sound policy is made through identifying a clear problem, evaluating evidence, forming an informed solution and balancing that solution’s costs and benefits.

In the eyes of the Editorial Board, Students for Concealed Carry and campus carry advocates have not gone through this process, and until they present a policy that lines up with the priorities they have publicly, we will continue to stand against them.

IU alumnus finds style in London ‘Shades of Music’ to take stage at Buskirk-Chumley

By Nicole Goldman goldmann@indiana.edu

Dennis Mu, former Fashion Design and Apparel Merchandising student at IU, brought his creative expertise to London this semester.

Mu’s work at IU has been admired by many. Students in the Fashion Design program have praised him as their teaching assistant in years past.

Today, Mu is enrolled in the fashion design program at Central Saint Martins, a school within the University of the Arts London and one of the most prestigious fashion schools in the city.

“I came to IU for Kelley,” Mu said. “I was told to do so since high school.”

This was until the second semester of freshman year.

“When I realized I could do business and fashion,” he said. “I thought, ‘amazing.’”

Some of his fashion influences include Deb Christiansen and Kate Rowold, professors from the Apparel Merchandising and Interior Design Department.

“I admitted my love for fashion at IU,” Mu said.

Mu took that love for fashion overseas.

London Fashion Week began Friday. The shows are held in the Kensington Gardens until today. Mu said he hoped to attend some of them before Fashion Week ended.

British style is very different than American style, Mu said. He talked about his new style appreciation for the posh and polished look of the Brits.

Mu said being in one of the fashion capitals of the world has been a part of his creative journey, but learning about merchandising brought his design process full circle.

Last summer, Mu interned for Michael Kors in New York City. He worked on the Men’s Collection Team doing merchandise planning. He also worked inside the showroom and helped research inspiration for the coming season.

From there, he moved upstairs to Oscar de la Renta’s studio and atelier.

la Renta’s new collection.

He brought individual garments to life from sketches.

“Couture is about the culture, the spirit, the garments as a piece of art,” he said.

De la Renta is remembered as one of the largest influences in the industry.

“He’s the last one from that classic period,” Mu said.

Mu is one of few in his generation to have experienced working with such an influential character in the

business before de la Renta’s death in October 2014.

The fall 2015 collection “is so Oscar de la Renta,” Mu said. “I’m sure Mr. de la Renta would have loved it.”

During his internship, Mu helped the newly appointed creative director, Peter Copping, source materials for one of the looks in the fall collection.

The experience working with de la Renta has left a mark on Mu, who said he looks forward to having his

own collection some day.

“I will make what I want to make, I’ll bring my fantasy to real life,” he said.

Mu said he wants his future brand to be couture, and he feels most inspired

by Paris Fashion Week, the city of haute couture.

Paris Fashion Week starts March 4.

“I want to have fun,” he said. “I love what I do, and that’s what keeps me getting up in the morning. I never feel exhausted a single day.”

The Bloomington Symphony Orchestra will take concert goers on a virtual vacation.

Moving through Spain to central Asia, the concert is aimed to help temporarily take audience members away from the cold and snow.

Featuring a variety of internationally inspired and historical music, the BSO’s upcoming concert “Shades of Music” will take place at 7:30 p.m. Saturday in the Buskirk-Chumley Theater.

This concert was originally rescheduled for a later date due to inclement weather last weekend.

Adam Bodony, the artistic director of the orchestra, said “Shades of Music” accumulates compositions from nationalistic composers that incorporated hints of other cultures into their music.

One example of this is Alexander Borodin’s “In the Steppes of Central Asia.”

Bodony said the song was created to celebrate Alexander II’s expansion of the Russian empire.

So Borodin included two intermingling melodies into the musical score. There is a Russian melody, and there is an oriental melody.

Bodony described a specific scene he imagines when thinking of the song: there is a caravan crossing the steppes of central Asia. It’s accompanied by a Russian guard. As the two melodies pass back and forth, eventually combining into one, he said he envisions the communities uniting.

“We have this sense that this group is traveling, mingling together,” he said.

Donna Lafferty, executive director and trombonist in the orchestra, described the song as having an exotic atmosphere about it.

“It absolutely transports you,” she said.

Other songs in the concert will be “España” by Emmanuel Chabrier, “Adagio for

BLOOMINGTON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Buskirk-Chumley Theater Strings” by Samuel Barber, “Masquerade Suite” by Aram Khachaturian and “Slavonic Dance No. 1” by Antonín Dvorák.

The concert’s set list is made to take listeners up and down emotionally. While Lafferty said the last song, “Slavonic Dance No. 1,” is uplifting, she also said “Adagio for Strings” has been called the “saddest piece of music ever written.”

Regardless of emotion, Lafferty said she prefers to play songs with strong melodies, even if she is not the one that’s performing them. As a trombonist, she acknowledges that she rarely gets the melody of a song. However, she said she does not mind.

If people focus on only the individual of an orchestra, Lafferty added, it’s not possible to pull together in the music.

Lafferty said she likes soulful music. There has to be parts that build, that swell in volume until there is this accumulation of sound.

“It gets me most when everybody pulls together,” she said. “You don’t get this massive wall of sound (with a solo).”

This atmosphere is made in part because the BSO is a community orchestra. People come together simply to play music.

Lafferty described one moment that happened during a rehearsal.

“There was one rehearsal where we had a violin and flute do a duet,” she said. “Everybody in the orchestra was motionless watching this.”

In the moment, she said she could only think one thing.

“Oh my God,” she said.

“This is what it’s all about.”

Lafferty said she wants people to not only listen, but to also feel. Her hope is that people leave the concert thinking, “Holy cow, that was amazing.”

Your day, your way.

IU Cinema to present sci-fi film series From IDS reports

Ray Bradbury will be the focus of a special four-day film series at IU Cinema beginning March 24.

The series, titled “Ray Bradbury: From Science to the Supernatural,” is intended as an exploration and celebration of his works on screen.

The series, which includes lectures and panel discussions, was programmed by the Center for Ray Bradbury Studies, part of the IU School of Liberal Arts at IU-Purdue University Indianapolis.

From March 24-28, the IU Cinema will present the following films: “Bradbury TV and Shorts Program” at 7 p.m.

March 24, which will include a gathering of short subjects such as “Icarus Montgolfier Wright” and “The Twilight Zone”; “It Came From Outer Space” at 7 p.m. March 26; “A Sound of Different Drummers” at 6:30 p.m. March 27;

“Fahrenheit 451” at 9:30 p.m.

March 27; “Moby Dick” at 3 p.m. March 28; and “Something Wicked This Way Comes” at 6:30 p.m. March 28.

IU Cinema Director Jon Vickers has worked closely with Jonathan Eller, the Bradbury Center director, to develop the program for the Bradbury film series. Eller is also an IUPUI Chancellor’s Professor, the editor of Bradbury’s early collected stories and author of two Bradbury biographies.

“Every session has fascinating cultural connections,” Eller said in the release. “The Academy Award-nominated ‘Icarus Montgolfier Wright,’ a story of our quest to reach the moon, was screened in the Kennedy White House just as those dreams were beginning to move toward reality.”

Vickers has also worked closely with Phil Nichols, the Bradbury Center senior adviser, to put together the series.

Nichols is also a well-known

“These screenings offer the first curated overview of Bradbury’s legacy in film and television,” Nichols said in a press release. “Selecting the films for this event has been a challenge because of the range and diversity of Bradbury’s work.”

In addition to the screenings, discussion panels will take place March 27 and 28.

There, Nichols will reveal some of the findings from his research among the papers in the Bradbury Center.

All events are free and public, but they are ticketed.

Freshman gains more playing time

By Brody Miller brodmill@indiana.edu | @Brody_Miller_

Ask Jess Walter to describe her personality. The freshman guard will laugh and delegate the question to a teammate walking by.

“Hey Kar, how would I describe my personality?”

Sophomore guard Karlee McBride doesn’t waste a second.

“Goofy.”

McBride pauses.

“She’s very sweet, she’s genuine, she’s smart,” she says. “I’m going to give you a lot of adjectives.”

Walter is a former Michigan Miss Basketball runnerup who, in her first season at IU, has been gradually increasing her role in a guardheavy lineup. She also has a reputation as the team clown.

Whether getting pied in the face on team road trips or

launching blogs with her freshmen teammates, Walter seems to be a non-stop source of entertainment for IU. “She’s one of my best friends,” freshman forward Amanda Cahill said. “One funny thing about her is she doesn’t know her geography very well. Or her left and right. We always laugh about that.”

Cahill said Walter once asked if Rutgers was a state.

When Walter is driving, teammates have to point her in the right direction.

Although Walter goofs around when they are hanging out, she works hard at everything else she, Cahill said.

Walter said she gets her sense of humor from her parents, who are also outgoing.

Her older brother, though, is more shy, and she said she took it upon herself to get him

to open up more.

“I usually try to make people laugh,” Walter said. “I know some days are harder for other people, but I think in the grand scheme of things you have to remember that we are here to have fun with it too.”

Walter describes her affable demeanor as confidence and said self-assurance is important to have on the court.

Like most freshmen on a Division I team, Walter said she is used to being the star of her team. She set school records at Midland High School for points, 3-pointers and assists in a single season.

The difficult adjustment for her, Walter said, has been transitioning from the leading scorer to a role player on a Big Ten team. She said this year has been a good test of her confidence.

“It has been a transition,”

Walter said. “And it is definitely not the end goal to keep coming off the bench.”

Recently, the young guard has seen her role increase in a lineup that consists of six guards getting ample time on the floor. In non-conference play, Walter was playing just above 12 minutes per game.

That number has risen to 20 minutes in Big Ten play.

“Jess has continued to develop,” IU Coach Teri Moren said. “Jess gives us a different pace and tempo ... I thought against Illinois she was playing some really, really good minutes for us. She’s a kid that’s constantly in here working on her game.”

Walter’s improvement can be measured by her performance on and off the floor.

When walking out of practice two weeks ago, the first thing Walter said was she just did 10 pullups.

She was full of excitement, because she wasn’t even able to do one when she first came to Bloomington. Working with strength and conditioning coach Tom Morris can do that for a player, she said.

Averaging 7.3 points per game, Walter said Moren asks her to be the spark off the bench and bring aggressiveness when she comes in.

Walter said she will do anything asked of her, and right now that means being a burst off the bench. The guards are always pushing each other, she said, and she is constantly working on her game.

“She’s awesome,” Cahill said. “She cares a lot about basketball, and she just is always giving it her all and working really hard to get better. I think she’s just a really good teammate. She’s always encouraging.”

In the first game of the First Pitch Invitational against Presbyterian, sophomore Craig Dedelow was batting sixth and playing first base for IU. In the third and final game of the Invitational against Xavier, Dedelow was playing left field and batting second.

During the three-game Invitational, Dedelow went 3-for-12, including a home run.

“I was seeing the ball a little bit better this weekend,” Dedelow said. “I was also just waiting to get my own pitch so I could hit the ball hard somewhere.”

This season Dedelow is batting .286 with two RBIs. He has also drawn a team high six walks, giving him the second highest on base percentage on the team with .444.

Last season, Dedelow hit .232 in 35 at bats without a home run.

His promotion to second in the batting order gives IU Coach Chris Lemonis something he said he didn’t have when senior Will Nolden was batting second.

“When (Casey) Rodrigue gets on, it’s nice to have a guy standing in the box that gives us a little bit better chance to run,” Lemonis said.

Not only is Lemonis talking about Dedelow’s bat control, which he praised, he’s also talking about his size and which side of the plate he bats from.

Dedelow is 6-foot-4 and bats left-handed, giving a subtle but important advantage to any base stealer on first base while he is at the plate.

All catchers are right-handed, meaning that their throwing hand is on the same side as a left-handed batter. Add in DeSEE SHIFTING, PAGE 11

Hoosier relief pitcher embracing his role in bullpen

By Michael Hughes michhugh@indiana.edu @MichaelHughes94

Being the long man in a bullpen can be hard.

You might go a week without pitching at all if your team’s starting pitchers do well. Or you might be called on for extended appearances on back-to-back nights if they don’t last long.

For sophomore Thomas Belcher, the latter was true last weekend.

After pitching three shutout innings Saturday night to

extend the game into extra innings, he was called on to pitch two more innings Sunday, allowing one run.

“He’s been really good,” IU Coach Chris Lemonis said.

“Usually we use him in that two-to-three inning role, and that’s how we’ve been using him. He’s becoming the goto guy because he just makes pitches under pressure.”

Last season, Belcher posted a 1.91 ERA in 33 innings and 15 appearances. His ERA was third-lowest on the team, and he recorded four saves, second highest on IU.

This season, Belcher has posted a 1.12 ERA in eight innings pitched. The one run he allowed Sunday is his only blemish.

“I try not to let the situation get to me or let the pressure come to me,” Belcher said. “I just try to focus on the hitter and get him out as best as I can.”

Lemonis has put an emphasis on his reliever’s ability to attack hitters, especially the first batter of the inning.

Of the eight innings Belcher has pitched this season, the first batter he’s faced

has only reached base twice.

One reason for Belcher’s success this season is the improvement of his pitches, particularly his slider.

“My stuff ’s probably the best it’s been in my career here,” Belcher said. “Coach (Kyle) Bunn helped me out with certain things, especially my slider.”

Belcher said that this weekend he used his slider as the put-away pitch for three of his five strikeouts. This season Belcher has six strikeouts, tied for second on the team.

Not only is his stuff more

explosive, but he’s more comfortable throwing all of his pitches for strikes.

If Belcher ever gets behind in the count he has the ability to throw his slider for a strike when the hitter might be expecting a fastball.

This gives Belcher more freedom against hitters. Not only can he use a variety of pitches, but he never has to give into a hitter. He doesn’t need to throw a first-pitch strike, because he said can throw his slider for a strike whenever he wants.

After Sunday’s outing,

Belcher said he felt great and wanted to pitch Monday if IU needed him. If IU needs him to pitch out of a jam in the fourth inning and pitch until the eighth, he can do that, too.

This means Belcher feels no added weight because Lemonis named him his “goto guy.” To Belcher, it’s still baseball, it’s still pitching and there’s only one thing he really needs to do — get hitters out.

“I’m perfectly fine with whatever role they throw me into,” Belcher said. “I’m just going to go out there and get outs.”

Notebook: Hartman “day-to-day”

By Sam Beishuizen sbeishui@indiana.edu | @Sam_Beishuizen

Collin Hartman is “dayto-day” after a knee-to-knee collision with Rutgers’ Junior Etou, which caused him to miss the final 15 minutes of IU’s 30-point win against Rutgers on Sunday.

IU Coach Tom Crean said the sophomore forward was held out of practice Monday and is still sore. His status for Wednesday’s game against Northwestern is now in question.

“His status is really a little uncertain right now,” Crean said.

Etou’s right knee struck Hartman’s left knee on a layup attempt in the opening minutes of the second half. Hartman, in visible pain, spent time favoring his knee on the ground before limping off the floor.

The IU medical staff gave

Hartman ice for his knee and continued to check in on him in the time since.

Hartman tore the ACL in his right knee almost immediately after last season ended and has been wearing a brace on it all season. Sunday’s injury occurred on the other knee.

The ACL injury has caused Hartman to be limited in practice already this year. Crean said he was “never really fully healthy” to begin with.

Now he’s nursing a second injury to the other knee as well.

“He’s still very sore,” Crean said. “We’ve just got to continue to kinda wait and see.”

The Big Ten is discussing a “year of readiness” proposal mandating redshirts for freshmen basketball and football players, but Crean would rather the plan go away. And he’s not alone.

There were mixed results when Big Ten coaches were

asked about the proposal — first reported by Maryland’s independent student newspaper, the Diamondback — but the majority of the coaches were against it.

The Big Ten’s proposal isn’t clear just yet and there is still a long way to go, but it’s mere existence has sparked conversation across college basketball.

Syracuse Coach Jim Boeheim is among the public critics so far, as is Michigan State Coach Tom Izzo. Purdue’s Matt Painter was open to discussion and said it was worth at least taking a look at.

But Painter agreed with Crean in saying he wouldn’t support the league’s proposal unless it were adopted by conferences across Division I. “The initial response is that if it was something that the SEE NOTEBOOK , PAGE 11

The short time it takes for the catcher to adjust to get the throw comfortably past Dedelow could be enough to allow a base stealer to reach second base safely.

Lemonis also praised Dedelow’s base running ability which, when coupled with his above-average speed,

increases the number of possibilities IU has to score runs.

Sunday, Dedelow scored the winning run when he scored from first base after Xavier’s catcher threw the ball up the right field line.

Dedelow’s speed also gives IU an advantage on defense. At first base, his speed and range was somewhat neutralized. In the outfield, his abilities are highlighted.

entire body of college athletics did — in the sense of college basketball and college football — then that’s what it is,” Crean said Monday. “But to look at it in the sense that it would potentially be for a selective conference, I don’t think that makes a lot of sense in the world we live in.”

The Diamondback reports a theory from the proposal that a mandatory redshirt season would benefit the players in the classroom.

It also brought up that an NCAA rule prohibited true freshmen from playing in all sports up until 1972.

Crean refuted the classroom benefit, saying the current academic structure allows athletes to enroll in summer school while doing summer workouts to make up any lost ground in the season.

Crean’s Hoosiers have historically done well in the classroom with a handful of players graduating early.

“That’s a real carrot in front of them to do well academically in the summer,” Crean said. “I feel really good about what we’re doing, and I’m sure I have a lot of colleagues out there who feel good about what they’re doing.”

IU will finish off its road schedule Wednesday when the Hoosiers play the Northwestern Wildcats at 7 p.m. in Evanston, Ill. Crean applauded the improvements Northwestern has made in the recent weeks.

It’s coming off a blowout win against Iowa, and Crean described their recent play as “tremendous.”

“It is going to be a battle,” Crean said. “They’re playing extremely well.”
