Leaders without limits Best Buddies gathers for 28th annual leadership convention By Hannah Reed hanreed@indiana.edu | @hannahreed13
The energy level was high in the IU Auditorium on Friday as attendees to the 28th annual Best Buddies Leadership Conference screamed chants and waved glow sticks, and ushers and volunteers gave high fives to participants as they entered. Thousands gathered at IU for the conference this year, the theme of which was “Pass the Torch,” emphasizing the importance of preparing and empowering future leaders. Best Buddies International, a nonprofit with more than 2,300 chapters in nearly 50 countries, is dedicated to creating opportunities for one-to-one friendships, integrated employment and leadership development for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. “Best Buddies is so great because it provides opportunities to so many different kids, adults and teens that might not have had the chance to make friendships with so many different people,” said Katie Nettee, a peer-buddy from Maryland. The organization was founded by Anthony K. Shriver in 1984 and provides eight flagship programs that affect more than 1.1 million individuals with and without disabilities worldwide, according to its website. SEE BUDDIES, PAGE 3

Sean Spicer resigned from his position as White House press secretary Friday. Spicer’s resignation comes in response to President Donald Trump’s appointment of New York financier Anthony Scaramucci as communications director. Spicer had been acting communications director since Trump took office. Spicer will be replaced by current deputy press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Spicer will continue serving as press secretary through August, according to a statement from Trump. Spicer was named press secretary for the Trump administration last December. Spicer also served as communications director after Trump campaign spokesman Jason Miller refused an offer for the position. Spicer served six months in the dual role before his resignation. Although six months is an unusually short term for a press secretary, the job typically has a much higher turnover rate than other executive positions, said Nicholas Browning, an assistant professor of public relations in the Media School. And it’s a grueling job, Browning said. “When there’s a failure of getting a clear message out, that secretary — being the face of what that message is — is necessarily going to be the one who faces the brunt of the criticism,” he said. “And not just from the press, but from the president.” Spicer’s duration as press secretary was marked by conflicting messages from the White House communications team and the president himself, who frequently used his Twitter account to deliver messages. William Ellis, the county chair for the Monroe County Republican Party, saw Trump’s use of Twitter as a good thing. “Sean Spicer was a traditional press secretary, and Trump was not a traditional president, and I think they butted heads on that,” he said. “Trump bypasses the traditional messaging. He uses social media to get it directly to the people.” The combativeness of the Spicer-era could increase with Scaramucci as communications SEE SPICER, PAGE 3
Arena will give wrestling, volleyball a home on campus By Austin Ghirardelli aghirard@imail.iu.edu | @a_ghirardelli
IU’s volleyball and wrestling teams will soon have a home on campus in the form of a new 3,000seat, $17 million arena. The new venue will be located on the northwest corner of 17th Street and Fee Lane, next to Cook Hall and near IU’s other athletics facilities. Vice President of Capital Planning and Facilities Thomas Morrison said the idea of a new arena for the teams has been in the works for quite a while. “This has been part of the University’s master plan for a long time,” Morrison said. “We’ve been trying to relocate all the athletic programs on to the athletic district. Volleyball and wrestling have been competing in a building in the technology park. It is far away from the rest of the athletic complex.” Morrison said this was the last relocation needed in the athletic master plan. IU volleyball head coach Sherry Dunbar-Kruzan said this move is something that she has also been looking forward to.
“Excited would be an understatement,” Dunbar-Kruzan said. “This will be my 11th season here and it’s something we’ve talked about pretty much my entire career here. After seeing the kind of arenas in the Big Ten and the ones they are currently building, we thought it was not only wanted, but needed to keep us competitive in what’s considered best conference in the country for volleyball.” The new arena’s location was highly discussed when planning the move, Morrison said. Dunbar-Kruzan said she believes the change of scenery could help increase attendance at games. “Our location is not good,” Dunbar-Kruzan said. “We are off-campus so we have great community support, which we are hoping to maintain in the new arena, but we lack student support because of the inconvenience of having to get to the games. I think if they can walk and know exactly where it is, they will come.” Morrison said students were the top priority when planning the move.
“The student-athletes are much closer to all their other services like athletic training, nutrition and academic services,” Morrison said. “It’s also closer to where the students live, making it easier to get to.” Dunbar-Kruzan said moving closer to IU’s other athletics facilities will make everything more convenient for the student-athletes. “There’s no better location for it,” Dunbar-Kruzan said. “They looked at a lot of places and of course I would have been supportive of them all because we are getting a new gym, but this is by far the best location I could have dreamed of. It’s right across from the Briscoe dorms and it’s right in the middle of the activity.” Morrison said the process of getting the venue built usually takes about a year to plan before getting approved and about another year to build. “It’s been through the design approval,” Morrison said. “We would hope to start construction this fall and we think it should take about twelve months. It’s not a very compliCOURTESY PHOTOS cated building to build so we expect Renderings show the exterior and interior of IU’s planned volleyball and wrestling arena, to be built adjacent to other IU Athletics facilities on campus. it to be done in the fall of 2018.”

While volunteers from Farm Credit MidAmerica bag potatoes, Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch and Julio Alonso, Hoosier Hills Food Bank Executive Director, discuss how fresh fruits and vegetables are donated to the food bank. Many local farmers from the Bloomington Community Farmers’ Market contribute. The Hoosier Hills Food Bank feeds 26,000 people per year from Bloomington and the surrounding counties.

Crouch toured the warehouse on Friday and spoke with Alonso about ways to solve this summer shortage. Left IU intern Ryan Mccauley leads Crouch into a cold room where volunteers bag potatoes. The Hoosier Hills Food Bank has 2,000 volunteers per year. The food bank has six IU interns this summer who help the 14 staff members run the facility.

IU researchers receive $1.8 million in grants From IDS reports
The National Science Foundation awarded $1.8 million in grants to three IU researchers. Julia Arciero, Kylie Peppler and Adam Ward received Faculty Early Career Development Awards, IU announced last Thursday in a press release. The grants will be used for the researchers’ projects in disease treatment, com-
puter science and river pollution. NSF CAREER Awards are intended to support earlycareer faculty in building a foundation for lifetimes in academics, according to the release. “NSF early-career grants are among the most competitive research awards available to scientists launching their independent research careers,” Vice President for Research Fred
Cate said in the release. “Recipients are widely recognized as leaders charting new paths in their respective fields.” Arciero, an assistant professor of mathematical sciences at IU-Purdue University Indianapolis, received nearly $600,000 to study peripheral arterial disease. The disease affects more than 10 million Americans and is expected to affect more over time. A five-year
project on the disease began in May, according to the release. Peppler, Julia Arciero an associate professor of learning sciences in the School of Education at IU-Bloomington, received nearly $500,000. She researches the equity of computer and information science programs
with a goal of balancing the gender makeup in computing by improving learning envi- Kylie Peppler ronments. Her fiveyear project began last August. Ward was awarded more than $700,000 to study hydrologic exchange processes in river corridors. He
Chemical compounds in water test higher for June From IDS reports
Disinfection byproducts in Bloomington’s water increased during the month of June. However, the amount of DBPs, which are chemical reactions between organic and inorganic materials, remained beneath allowed levels. DBPs occur when organic materials react to chemical treatment agents that are added during the water disinfection process. The concentration levels of DBPs were measured at eight test-
ing sites and conducted by a private, independent laboratory, according to a City of Bloomington press release. The water tests conducted by City of Bloomington Utilities measure the concentration of two types of DBPs, haloacetic acid and trihalomethane. Haloacetic acid levels in June ranged from 24.1 parts per billion to 38.6 ppb. The maximum allowed amount of haloacetic acid is 60 ppb. Trihalomethane levels ranged from 48.8 to 69.6 ppb, below
the allowed maximum of 80 ppb. “Warmer weather causes more organic material in the water, to which the chlorine binds,” City of Bloomington Utilities Deputy Director John Langley said in the press release. “It is typical to see increase in the summer months.” Testing of water to track DBPs began in January 2016 in order to monitor water quality in Bloomington. Operators at CBU have also been trained to run calculations to
reduce the presence of DBPs in the water, according to the release. “Utilities staff continues to work proactively to keep our DPB numbers well within allowable limits,” Mayor John Hamilton said in the release. “Hot summers, and this year a warm spring, make those numbers more challenging to control, so we will continue to closely monitor and measure our progress.”

days of charity work, the days of ‘oh how can I help them get ahead, how can I hold their hand, how can I set the table for them,’ those days are over,” Shriver said in his speech as the audience cheered. Shriver touched on the this year’s theme, saying that passing the torch is important because it is inclusive. “Everything that we’re doing in our organization is led by, driven by, inspired by, motivated by and energized by the brain power, the will, the drive and the determination of our special friends,” Shriver said before introducing Megan Bomgaars. Bomgaars is featured on the A&E TV show “Born This Way”, and was the first cheerleader in Colorado to compete with Down syndrome. Bomgaars was visibly nervous, taking deep breaths before beginning her speech. The crowd jumped in to reassure her. “You got it Meg!” someone yelled from the back of the audience as members cheered for her. After a few deep breaths and the encouragement of her peers, Bomgaars began her speech. “It is a big honor to be here speaking with Best Buddies today,” Bomgaars said. “I want to share with you my dreams and goals.” Bomgaars, 23, and a student at the University of Colorado - Colorado Springs, talked about her experiences paying her own taxes and writing an upcoming book called “Don’t Mimic Me.” Mikayla Holmgren and Marlana Vanhoose were among the other speakers and performers at the conference.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Best Buddies Jobs is one of those eight programs. It is a supported employment program that secures paying jobs for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, enabling them to work as respected individuals. Wayne Reed, a Best Buddies ambassador and member of the jobs program, has spoken at previous leadership conventions. “This summer is the upcoming anniversary of five years since I’ve done my first award-winning speech in front of everybody in the auditorium,” he said. “I couldn’t have done it without the help of the state of Maryland, my fellow staff and my teachers supporting me.” At an opening ceremony, a DJ from Florida played loud, energized music as attendees already inside danced and sang along to songs like “All I Do is Win” by DJ Khaled and “Cupid Shuffle”. Purple spotlights flashed on the stage, and moving colors on the wall created a soft atmosphere, though the energy was anything but. “Everybody’s hands go up,” T-Pain sang on the track as members of the audience collectively raised their hands. Once 8 p.m. hit, the lights dimmed and intense music started to play. Four Buddies walked out carrying torches as peer-buddies accompanied them with flags. After the music stopped and they paused on stage, sparks flew and Shriver walked out to say a few words. “The days of feeling sorry for our special friends, the

Holmgren competed in the 2017 Miss USA pageant as Miss Minnesota, and took the stage wearing a white dress and a flower crown. She performed a dance to the song “Beautiful Me” by Nichole Nordeman. She incorporated gymnastics into her dancing, and received a standing ovation from the crowd as she bowed. Marlana Vanhoose, born with Cytomegalovirus, performed a musical number. Doctors discovered that she was blind when she was only a few weeks old. She was also diagnosed with mild cerebral palsy, according to her website. Her voice pierced a silent crowd as she played the piano and sang “Rise Up” by Andra Day. The audience swayed together, using cellphone lights and glow sticks to light up the crowd. Her second song, “Celebration” by Kool & The Gang, had the audience clapping while standing on their feet. “Bring your best friends and your leaders too, we’re gonna celebrate Best Buddies with you,” Vanhoose sang to the tune. Vanhoose wasn’t the only musical act to perform. Sam Piazza, a Best Buddies Ambassador, introduced reVoiced, an a capella group. The group is an avid supporter of Best Buddies and had Piazza star in one of their music videos, which they showed to the audience. The group emerged on a rising stage as their music video ended and performed “Get Ready” by The Temptations, as well as “Happy” by Pharrell Williams and “I Won’t Give Up” by Jason Mraz.

During the opening ceremony, awards were presented for things like Outstanding High School Chapter, Outstanding College Chapter and Best Buddies Job Employee of the Year. A torch sat front and center on the stage as a reminder of the conference’s theme as the speeches and awards were given. “Even though I have disabilities, I have abilities,” Best Buddies Ambassador Katie Meade said in her speech. Best Buddies is an inclusive group, and is still working to expand and reach more people. By the end of 2020, Best Buddies hopes to have offices in all 50 states and expand to 100 countries, the organization said in a press release. “I’ve been in a lot of clubs. I’ve done a lot of things.

ers completed earlier for the administration, and said her appointment was a good move. “You’ve got the news media trying to drive the narrative so the administration definitely has to have someone in the media to push back,” Ellis said. Mark Fraley, the county chair for the Monroe County Democratic Party, said he thinks the problem is with the administration’s policies, not its communication. “I think that the key thing here is this is a fundamentally flawed administration with some really perverse ideas,” Fraley said. “There’s no amount of communication shake-up that’s going to change that. If the product is bad, there’s no amount of advertising that’s going to sell it.” Fraley said things like the ongoing healthcare debate are more important. “What’s really going to have an effect in Monroe County are the policies coming out of the administration,” he said.

SWIMMING AND DIVING
World class IU divers succeed at World Championships, swimmers prepare for competition From IDS reports
The two-week 2017 FINA World Championships, the global swimming championships run by France’s International Swimming Federation, reached their halfway point as the diving portion of the competition came to an end Thursday. The swimmers are set to be in action this week in Budapest, Hungary. IU has been well represented so far with four Hoosier divers. Eight more Hoosiers will represent their countries in the upcoming swimming events. With the Championships being halfway complete, here’s a look at how the IU athletes have done so far. Along with four Hoosier divers, IU diving coach Drew Johansen attended the World Championships as the head coach for Team USA. IU divers combined to reach a total of six championship finals. Redshirt senior Michael Hixon had a busy week on the boards as he competed in three different events. His highest finish was fifth in the 1-meter dive. The All-American also finished sixth in the 3-meter synchro and also placed 20th in the 3-meter dive.
Redshirt junior James Connor finished ninth overall in the 3-meter final with a total score of 453.80. He scored 71 points or higher on all six of his dives. Connor also took 26th place in the 1-meter dive. Incoming freshman Andrew Capobianco placed 10th in the mixed 10-meter synchro with a total score of 300.12. In the women’s 10-meter synchro, redshirt junior Jessica Parratto finished sixth overall in the world with her score of 306.96. Parratto also took 11th in the women’s platform dive. The swimming portion of the FINA World Championships are already underway, with eight current and former Hoosiers representing their home countries. The swimmers are joined by their head swimming coach Ray Looze as he will be serving as an assistant coach for Team USA. The list of current IU swimmers competing consists of seniors Blake Pieroni, Ali Khalafalla and Josh Romany, as well as juniors Mohamed Samy and Lilly King. IU will also be represented by postgrad-swimmer Zane Grothe and IU alums Cody Miller and Marwan Elkamash. Austin Ghirardelli

MEN’S SOCCER
WOMEN’S SOCCER
Recruits ranked fourth best From IDS reports
The IU men’s soccer team finished the 2016 regular season ranked No. 9 in the country under head coach Todd Yeagley. The Hoosiers record of 12-2-7 earned them a spot in the NCAA Tournament for the 30th consecutive season. With last season in the books, Yeagley is set to reload his roster with a very talented recruiting class coming in. IU will have 10 new Hoosiers join the team for the new season in hopes of yet another solid year. According to Top Drawer Soccer, IU will be bringing in the No. 4 ranked class in the nation. A few of the incoming freshmen have already started taking summer classes in Bloomington, some have played for their academy teams and others have suited up
for their countries. As these recruits prepare for the upcoming season of IU soccer, here’s a few of the names that Hoosier fans will want to know. For the expanded, full breakdown of the incoming recruiting class, check idsnews.com. Griffin Dorsey A 6-foot, 160-pound forward from Evergreen, Colorado. Top Drawer Soccer labeled him as a four-star recruit and ranked him as the No. 18 player. Top Drawer Soccer also ranked him as the No. 1 player in the Rocky Mountains & Southwest Region and the No. 4 forward in the country. Dorsey has played three seasons with the Colorado Rush in the U.S. Soccer Development Academy. He was named to the
U.S. U18 Men’s National Team and played with the team in Slovakia and Portugal. Jacob Gruber A 6-foot-1, 190-pound goalkeeper from Fishers, Indiana. A three-star recruit by Top Drawer Soccer, Gruber ranked as the No. 32 defender in the nation and the No. 12 player in the Great Lakes Region. He played two seasons at Cathedral High School in Indianapolis before playing his final two years for the Indiana Fire of the U.S. Soccer Development Academy. Gruber helped Cathedral win a state championship before departing from his team. Trey Muse A 6-foot-4, 195-pound goalkeeper from Louisville, Kentucky. He was ranked
as the No. 88 recruit in the nation by College Soccer News. He has played for the Seattle Sounders FC in the U.S. Soccer Development Academy and is a member of the U.S. U18 Men’s National Team. This summer he was named the U.S. Soccer Development Academy West Conference U-17/18 Player of the Year. The Hoosiers will start the 2017 preseason with an exhibition game against Xavier on August 14 at home. After two additional exhibition games, the regular season will begin with the Mike Berticelli Memorial Tournament in South Bend, Indiana, at 5 p.m. Aug. 25 against Cal Poly. Austin Ghirardelli
Hoosiers use social media to celebrate 25th year From IDS reports
IU women’s soccer will play in its 25th season in program history this fall. The Hoosiers will be celebrating a quarter-century’s worth of IU women’s soccer history in the 25 days leading up to the team’s first game of the season. A social media countdown highlighting a different memory, player or coach from the program’s 25 years will begin August 24. Fans can follow along with the countdown on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. The women’s soccer team went from club to varsity status in 1993. After spending many seasons working with the women’s club team from 1977 to 1992, former IU soccer player Joe Kelley was named head coach in the Hoosiers’ first season.
Kelley went on to coach the team for nine seasons, eight of which were played in the Big Ten Conference. In the program’s fourth year, he led the Hoosiers to their only Big Ten Championship in 1996. More than 250 players have suited up for IU over the years and this countdown will reflect on those players and their moments in Hoosier history. IU’s season opener will be against Cal Poly at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 18 at Bill Armstrong Stadium. Admission to all women’s soccer games is free. Redshirt junior Mykayla Brown led the team in scoring in 2016 with eight goals from the forward position. The Hoosiers finished last season with a 7-9-4 overall record and went 4-4-3 in conference play. Austin Ghirardelli

‘Dunkirk’ cast set for fame It may seem like the only people in Christopher Nolan’s new World War II film “Dunkirk” are Mark Rylance, Tom Hardy and, of course, Harry Styles. Headlines surrounding the film have been overwhelming with phrases like “Yes, Harry Styles Can Act!” and “Can Tom Hardy Win An Oscar for Dunkirk?” Upon seeing the film, which is absolutely Nolan’s best, it becomes clear that there is no real lead in “Dunkirk.” The story is split between three storylines that star various floppy haired Brits with impeccable bone structure, many of whom will look infuriatingly familiar to anyone who has ever watched a British period drama or BBC miniseries. While the more wellknown actors like Rylance, Hardy, Kenneth Branagh and Cillian Murphy add gravitas to their various storylines, it’s the younger actors who make the film what it is. So for a moment, let’s forget about Harry Styles – who, for what it’s worth, is very good – and focus on the other young actors who are likely to jump from “Dunkirk” to stardom. First up is Fionn Whitehead, who is as close as “Dunkirk” comes to having a lead role. In his first film role, Whitehead’s character — officially listed as Tommy, though we never hear his name — represents the

everyman soldier, terrified for his life and desperate to survive. The role is the opposite of showy and yet Whitehead stands out in his subtlety, especially compared to Styles’ more talkative character Alex. Irish actor Barry Keoghan has one of the more sympathetic storylines in the film as George, an eager 17-year-old who hops onto Rylance’s boat as it sails to Dunkirk to pick up stranded soldiers. While his role in the film is small — as are all of the roles, arguably — Keoghan brings emotional resonance to one of the film’s biggest twists. Fans of indie film will be seeing his face again soon, as he stars in director Yorgos Lanthimos’ “The Killing of a Sacred Deer,” which is out later this fall. Aneurin Barnard is one of many period drama and miniseries veterans in “Dunkirk.” Viewers may recognize him from BBC’s recent, highly underrated “War & Peace” adaptation or from Starz’s “The White Queen.” He speaks only a few words in “Dunkirk,” but like many of his colleagues, his physical and nonverbal performance is as memorable as they come. Scotsman and BBC veteran Jack Lowden is on

the cusp of a major Hollywood breakthrough, and “Dunkirk” may be the final stepping stone that gets him there. An Olivier-winning stage actor, Lowden starred with Barnard in “War & Peace” and also made an appearance with Rylance in BBC’s “Wolf Hall.” His role as a Royal Air Force pilot in “Dunkirk” is one of the more thrilling performance – he and Hardy swoop through the clouds in pursuit of Nazi bombers in a particularly thrilling scene. Lowden will join Saoirse Ronan and Margot Robbie in “Mary Queen of Scots” next year and play the Smiths’ frontman Morrissey in the upcoming biopic “England Is Mine.” These main characters
aren’t the only ones who may look annoyingly familiar to fans of overseas productions. Michael Fox of “Downton Abbey” has a bit role as a Dunkirk engineer, and Kevin Guthrie of “Sunset Song” and “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” plays a highlander who joins Tommy and Alex in their crusade to get off the beach. In short, “Dunkirk” is a thrilling cinematic achievement that may serve as a boost to a number of talented young actors. But, if you have trouble telling generically attractive white boys apart, good luck. khalliwe@umail.iu.edu @Kate_Halliwell
Luc Besson’s ‘Valerian’ is beautiful but empty If you’re going to see Luc Besson’s latest sci-fi flick, make sure you’re in it for the visuals. For all its CGIed splendor and action sequences, the movie itself feels curiously empty. Let’s start with the good. “Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets” had one major task to accomplish. In order to secure its place in movie history, it had to deliver on the colorful, trippy alien exotica represented in the comic books Besson loved. It does this in spades. Between eye-popping computer generated images, sequences and extremely creative space-age technology, there’s a lot to look at in this movie. Early coverage of the movie was absolutely correct in stating that there would have been no way to make the film 10 years ago. But as a tour de force, “Valerian” leaves much to be desired. One thing is certain, Luc Besson should not write his own scripts. The dialogue between Valerian and Laureline ranges from flat to downright cringe-worthy. Dane Dehaan
is one of the most talented actors of his generation, but he couldn’t possibly elevate this material. It’s telling that the most enjoyable parts of the movie occur when aliens are speaking in their own native tongues or not speaking at all. Besson’s characterization is also woefully inconsistent. He can’t seem to decide which of his characters is the heart of the team and which is the head. Part of this problem may be based in Besson’s source material. The “Valerian and Laureline” comics, written in the 1960s and onward, featured a classic, retro pairing — the square-jawed man of action and his smiling, sexy female counterpart. The 2017 iterations of the characters fall into more modern roles, but have a distinctly trope-y feel to them. This Valerian is a wise-cracking womanizer who spends the entire movie trying to convince Laureline, his more committed, stereotypically temperamental counterpart, that he’s ready for a serious romantic relationship. It’s a boring but ac-
ceptable central relationship. However, midway through the movie, Besson appears to forget which version of Valerian and Laureline he’s working with. Valerian is simultaneously a maverick and a soldier committed to maintaining the universe’s status quo. Laureline goes from kickass, brilliant warrior girl to confused damsel in distress and back so fast it’ll make your head spin. And from scene to scene, the two swap roles in the eternal battle between pathos and logos. Every emotional milestone feels both shocking and completely unimportant, because there’s usually nothing to indicate that it was coming up in the first place. Perhaps Besson hoped to hide his inconsistent characterization in the maze of tangentially-related plot points. The overarching storyline in the movie is actually fairly simple and reasonably interesting. But the titular characters have to stumble their way to the movie’s climax almost by accident after rescuing each other from a se-

ries of expensive-looking but bland alien critters. While Valerian and Laureline play around with the computergenerated residents of Alpha, other people move the plot forward. Ultimately, the story is where Besson fails. The cardinal rule of sci-fi and fantasy writing is that something about the plot must be more interesting than the setting. Sure, spaceships, phasers, lightsabers and aliens in prosthetics are fun to look at, but we return to the worlds of “Star Wars,” “Harry Potter” and “The Lord of the Rings” because we care about the Jedi, wizards and hobbits within them, not because it’s neat to watch a million lightsaber, wand and sword fights in a row. Besson got so caught up in his own set dressing that he forgot to give this movie a heart. arts@idsnews.com @Anne_Halliwell

Exploring the Multiverse: advice for reading comics Between the success of “Spiderman: Homecoming” and “Wonder Woman” at the box office, the upcoming Marvel and DC mega-movies in the fall and winter, and the slew of comic book adaptation trailers that came out of San Diego Comic Con last weekend, it’s clear that comic books are having a moment. Or maybe comic books’ moment arrived in 2009, when Heath Ledger won a posthumous Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his performance as the Joker in Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight.” Or in 1992, when “Maus” became the first graphic novel to win a Pulitzer. In 1991, when Neil Gaiman’s “Sandman” series won the World Fantasy award. Somewhere in the midst of the ’70s and ‘80s’ comic and animation booms. Comics are the official retcon-and-reboot genre, and with an entire generation of comic books to catch up on, picking up your first volume can be tricky. Trying to purchase entire runs of a series is expensive. These things work in tandem to discourage millennials from trying out the genre at all. The secret to breaking into the world of comic books isn’t to cast a wide net and hope for the best. In order to break into worlds that have been expanding, condensing and overlaying one another for longer than our parents have been alive, it’s actually better to start small — really small — and then work outward. Comic books stretch all the way back through the 20th century, with the two big publishers, Marvel and DC, gaining their footing around the 1950s. Production companies have managed to reboot the live-action Spider Man film franchise three times in the last 15 years, but that’s nothing compared to the number of Spider Man series that exist in print form. Here are a few tips for navigating the superhero world without breaking the bank. Picking up volumes from a series or full graphic novels is an easy way to get used to the comic book format without stacking up millions of thin comic books. While the most recent story arcs will be in comic book form at your local store (hi, Vintage Phoenix!), looking for compilations is usually more rewarding and easier to navigate for those used to reading conventional print novels. While we’re at it, libraries usually stock at least a few volumes from popular writers and artists. Check there for a free, easy way to narrow down what you like. And don’t feel wedded to superheroes — autobiographical options like
Anne Halliwell is a recent journalism graduate.
“Fun Home” or “Maus” can be as good an introduction to comics as Superman or Thor. Or just pick out whatever series have the most consecutive issues in a row and start reading (If they have “Locke and Key,” grab it). “Doctor Who” is actually a helpful reference point for superhero fans looking for an easy entry point. Every so often, a new writer takes over a comic book property for several issues and publishes a complete storyline with that world and those characters. Finding a well-respected run in your favorite world isn’t hard – Joss Whedon’s “Astonishing X-Men” takes place in a future world where many mutants have been wiped out, but still features favorites from the movies like Cyclops, Kitty Pryde and Colossus. Frank Miller’s “Batman: Year One” is almost universally respected and recounts the Caped Crusader’s first steps fighting crime in Gotham. Start with a favorite hero or team, then check the handy-dandy interwebs for recommendations. Roxane Gay’s recent “World of Wakanda” series was brilliant, and there are plenty of offerings by acclaimed authors out there. Although Marvel and DC comic books are far more commonly adapted for the big screen, there are plenty of smaller comic publishers out there with equally good offerings. Image Comics (the best!) and IDW Publishing do a way better job of representing minorities in their comics than the big publishers, which is hugely important to keep in mind if you’re already tired of seeing straight, cis white men on your TV and movie screens. Dark Horse Comics has the Hellboy and BPRD properties. They’re all worth a quick browse. Smaller publishers can afford to go “niche” with their offerings, which means some incredible, imaginative series can make it onto our shelves. Speaking of which, Image Comics and IDW also show up on Humble Bundle periodically, where interested customers can pay a few dollars for 30 to 40 PDFs of recent volumes and issues. If you’re not wedded to reading hard copies, they’re a ridiculously affordable way to try out hundreds of series from smaller publishers. Just beware getting addicted to more than a few new series at once — it’s how they’ll hook you. arts@idsnews.com @Anne_Halliwell

EDITORIAL BOARD
The Trump administration is sinking Members of the administration are jumping ship in droves
T
he Trump administration is laughably out of control, barely held together by one pair of tiny hands. Jokes aside, the six-monthold administration is looking increasingly like a longrunning television series with hardly any of the original cast members. Sean Spicer resigned Friday as White House press secretary after President Donald Trump appointed New York financier Anthony
Scaramucci as the new communications director, a post vacated by Michael Dubke in May, according to The New York Times. Trump’s personal attorney of nearly 20 years Marc Kasowitz was outed by Trump, also on Friday, preceded by a resignation from Kasowitz’s spokesman Mark Corallo, according to CBS. All of which comes after Trump expressed regret for hiring Attorney General Jeff Sessions in an interview with The New York Times last week because Sessions recused himself from the FBI’s Russia probe. Sessions, the brave soul, has chosen to hang on for the time being. Also in the same interview, Trump told reporters if Special Counsel for the FBI Robert Mueller looked into his finances as part of the investigation, he would
right now, might well be a choice the president would make to save his children from prison, and himself from future prosecution,” Bobbitt wrote in the Evening Standard. The Editorial Board would like to stress two things. The first is that we don’t want the president to resign. We have no desire for a President Pence. Instead, we would rather Trump transform his leadership style from one of demanding loyalty without returning the favor to one of humility and collaboration. Instead of contradicting the statements and policy proposals from your staff and Cabinet, as he’s done many times, he should ensure everyone is working toward the same goals. The second is that this situation has nothing to do with the politics of Trump’s policies. Our rebuke of the Trump administration is solely because of his inability to govern and to lead, regardless of what he believes. But given the pressure of the constitutional crisis created by his son and the impending FBI investigation, we doubt the president will heed our warning. As the Editorial Board and many other sources have noted previously, impeachment is entirely unlikely for a variety of legal and political reasons. But if this train wreck of administrative leadership continues, a self-imploding White House may very well become part of our nation’s history.
consider it a violation of Mueller’s charge. Bloomberg later confirmed that Mueller is indeed investigating Trump’s financial records and business transactions as they relate to Russia. Meanwhile, although this is old news in Trumpland, Donald Trump Jr. tweeted out two weeks ago the entire email chain of his contact with a Russian attorney who promised him “dirt” on thenpresidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Trump Jr. met with these Russian contacts in June 2016, though no information was actually given about the former secretary of state, according to CNN. However, the eighth person to attend the meeting — a roundup that included Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and former campaign manager Paul Manafort — was identified late last week as Irakly Kaveladze and revealed to have ties to Soviet intelligence, attracting the interest of Mueller, according to The Guardian. All of this leads Philip Bobbitt, a leading professor of law at Columbia University, to predict that Trump will resign “as a consequence of his family member’s being prosecuted,” according to The Independent. “Resignation, as remote as it seems

SHOWALTER’S SHOW-AND-TELL
The federal minimum wage shouldn’t be a uniform standard for the US In the eight years since the last federal minimum wage increase, liberals and conservatives have shouted at each other from across the aisle, or across the dinner table, over whether the current rate of pay is appropriate. The arguments from both sides are generally faulty and neither are discussing the minimum wage from a policy perspective. Behind all the buzzwords that make campaign commercials sexier and the simple solutions that are easy to grasp, there’s a boring, complicated, mathematical approach to calculating an effective minimum wage. According to The New
York Times, throughout the 1960s and 1970s, the minimum wage was around 48 percent of the nation’s median income. The average minimumto-median ratio in countries that are members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development is also about 50 percent. Today, using the median income of full-time wage and salary workers, that ratio in the United States is around 34 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, down from 36 percent in 2015 when the U.S. placed last in that category among its OECD counterparts. Were the minimum wage
still at 50 percent, the federal rate would be $10.79-anhour. Not so coincidentally, the buying power of 1978’s $2.65 minimum wage would be $10.39 in today’s dollars. So the federal minimum wage should be higher, but both of those figures are a far cry from the left’s $12$15 proposal. And I’m not even suggesting that the minimum wage should be raised to anywhere between $10.39 and $10.79. On the contrary, because the federal minimum wage would apply to all states, it should be set with consideration for the income of the poorest state. Mississippi, which has a
median income of a mere $30,000 according to the BLS, and the lowest cost of living among all 50 states, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, would have a minimum wage of $7.11 if the 50 percent ratio was used in that state. However, Mississippi is among a group of five states that have the highest number of minimum wage workers and also has the nation’s highest poverty rate at 22.6 percent, according to CNN. So the $7.25 minimum wage isn’t appropriate here either, but it may not be economically sound to raise it to over $10 in that state. Instead, policymakers at every level should be taking the initiative to set their
own minimum wages. States with higher median incomes and higher costs of living should set their minimums accordingly. They should do so with respect for the 50 percent minimum-to-median ratio and the regional price parities of their city or state. RPPs measure the cost of living in a given place as a comparison to the national standard. For instance, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the RPP for San Francisco is 121.9 percent of the national level, while the RPP for the state of California is 113.4, which means the city of San Francisco should have a slightly high-

er minimum wage than the state level. This way, the minimum wage would be set to somewhere between $12 and $15 for the cities that truly need it and where it would be economically reasonable, but it would avoid making it a federal mandate for places where such a level could be economically devastating. But as our nation’s partisanship widens and we focus less and less on actual policy issues, this may be a daunting, if not impossible task. thshowal@indiana.edu @TherinShowalter
