SEXUAL ASSAULT AT IU IDS INVESTIGATES

IDS PHOTOS BY TAE-GYUN KIM | IDS

Lyndsay Jones, 22, stands in front of the Pourhouse Cafe, located on Kirkwood Avenue, where she occasionally hangs out with her friends. About a year ago, Lyndsay reported being sexually assaulted to the Office of Student Ethics and participated in a hearing in the hopes of holding her alleged rapist accountable.

‘I am not afraid to tell my story’ When Lyndsay Jones reported she was raped, she turned to IU for justice. But cases like hers aren’t that simple.

By Lyndsay Jones jonesly@indiana.edu

Fairness. Dignity. Integrity.

I stared at the words printed on the wall in front of me. I was in the hearing room in the Office of Student Ethics. To my left sat the first friend I’d made since moving to Bloomington that fall — the man who, several weeks after I met him, raped me.

This hearing would determine whether IU would hold him responsible. I wanted him suspended or expelled. We sat at the same table but were separated by a divider that prevented us from seeing each other. Three panelists who would decide the case sat across from us.

He was there to make the case that the sex between us was consensual. I was there because it wasn’t.

I read my statement.

“I am here because I was involved in sexual activity against my will. I am here because I have been greatly wronged, and I live with the consequences of that every day.

But I should not be the only one burdened with the consequences of such actions.”

I looked across the table at the panelists and searched their faces for understanding. But the room was silent, and I saw nothing. * * * Above all else, I am a writer. So when trying to make sense of what happened, I turned to what I knew best. When I started writing this

piece eight months ago, I was a reporter at the Indiana Daily Student.

This fall semester, I took a break from school and plan to return in January.

I knew it would be difficult to share my name, and at first I was reluctant to be photographed, but it’s worth it. By going public, I can give depth and credibility to an issue usually shrouded in anonymity.

I am not afraid to tell my story. I have nothing to hide.

My first few weeks at IU, in early fall 2013, were a blur of loneliness.

I met the man two weeks into the semester at a call-out meeting for a campus group. Like me, he was a transfer student. He was 25. I was 21. We shared a sarcastic sense of humor. I welcomed his company.

The suddenness of our friendship made me question what had started. He was flirtatious at times, but I reminded him I had a longdistance boyfriend. I wasn’t looking for anything — or anyone — else.

I texted him one night to ask about his intentions.

“My goal,” he said, “is not to fuck you.”

A month or so after meeting him, I went to his apartment. It was a Sunday night after work, and he had asked me to come over. He wasn’t doing much, he said, just homework and watching “The Walking Dead.”

I was already at home. I had just showered and put on a tank top and my monkey-print pajama pants for the night. But I wanted company, so I drove over. I didn’t change my clothes because we

were just going to hang out.

So we sat on his couch talking — about everything and nothing, how my job as a delivery driver was horrible, how stupid his assignments were in one of his classes. Then he changed the subject.

“You like it when people cut the bullshit and get to the point, don’t you?”

I laughed. “Yeah,” I said.

He said it again. “When people cut the bullshit and get to the point.”

The smile I’d been wearing glazed.

He stood up and leaned over me as he put his hands on either side of the couch. His arms walled me in. Suddenly he kissed me.

“What are you doing?” I asked.

He looked at me.

“You knew if you came here, this would happen,” he said. He looked supremely confident.

He asked me to make out with him a little more. His week, he said, had been stressful, and he needed it. That was all I would have to do.

“OK.” I didn’t want to, but I supposed I could — if it would get me out of there. Besides, he had told me before that he had anger issues as a young adult. I didn’t want to upset him.

“Go to the bedroom,” he said.

This change of scenery seemed excessive for people who were “just going to make out for a few minutes.”

But I trusted him, so I went and he followed.

Amid a federal review of IU’s handling of sexual assault, Lyndsay’s account raises questions about University procedures

By Carolyn Crowcroft

Limits of the law, page 7

ccrowcro@indiana.edu | @carol_crowcroft

Restrictive record policies meant to protect student privacy cost some sexual assault survivors closure.

Lyndsay Jones’ first-person account is striking because of her willingness to share her story on the record with her name and photo. By talking openly about a subject that is normally cloaked in anonymity, she shines a light on difficult issues of sexual assault that are common across college campuses.

Midway through her first semester on the Bloomington campus, she trusted a male friend — another student — who she says raped her in his apartment. After reporting the incident to the Bloomington Police Department, Lyndsay became so disillusioned with the attitude of the officers and detectives that she withdrew her complaint.

When Lyndsay reported the sexual assault to the Office of Student Ethics, she wanted justice, she said.

She was devastated when the hearing panel reached a decision of no finding, choosing not to discipline her alleged perpetrator.

The man Lyndsay accuses of raping her is still an undergraduate student at IU. The issues raised by Lyndsay’s account are especially relevant now, when the U.S. Department of Education is investigating IU for its handling of sexual assault complaints.

How is consent defined, by the University and by students? How qualified are the staff members who sit in judgment on these cases? How fair are IU’s ethics hearings and

investigations, both to the accuser and the accused? Can the University provide the justice that Lyndsay and others seek?

The questions at the heart of Lyndsay’s account cannot be ignored. * * * It is an especially important time to analyze the way IU handles sexual assaults. In May 2014, IU was revealed as one of more than 50 schools under investigation by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights for possible violations of Title IX, a federal law that in part dictates how universities should handle sexual misconduct complaints. Emily Springston, chief student welfare and Title IX officer, said IU was chosen randomly for the review, and there was not a specific complaint that led to the investigation.

“My guess would be they’re trying to do a good cross section of different types of schools,” Springston said.

However, a spokesperson from the U.S. Department of Education said these reviews are not random.

While he did not share what specifically led to IU’s review, a spokesSEE SEXUAL ASSAULT, PAGE 5

Dunnkirk to feature IU set to play in Jimmy V Classic ‘Game of Thrones’ DJ

From IDS reports

Actor Kristian Nairn, who plays Hodor in the hit HBO series “Game of Thrones,” will be DJ-ing Tuesday at Kilroy’s Dunnkirk.

After completing season four of the show, Nairn set out on his “Rave of Thrones” tour in Australia and across the United States.

Nairn’s character, Hodor, will not appear in season five of the show to allow other story lines to catch up to Bran and Hodor’s.

With the extra time off, Nairn decided to take his year off to travel the world and continue DJing, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

Nairn has worked as a DJ in Northern Ireland for the past 11

years. He doesn’t identify with a single genre of electronic dance music, but plays mostly house music, according to Rolling Stone.

Nairn’s music is available to stream on soundcloud.com/kristiannairn.

Tickets for the show at Dunnkirk are no longer available online, but some tickets may still be available at the doors before the performance.

Attendees are encouraged to dress in “Game of Thrones” costumes and other attire.

After Bloomington, Nairn continues his tour Wednesday in St. Louis, Thursday in Cleveland, Friday in Nashville and Saturday in Orlando.

IU lacks size in the post. That much is known.

The frontcourt is inexperienced. That too, has been concluded.

But the Hoosiers haven’t dwelled on it. They’ve, instead, opted to embrace playing a small-ball lineup consisting mostly of four wing players and one relatively undersized big man.

Questions surrounding IU’s post play and depth have been looming. The concerns grew louder after allowing 138 points in the paint over a three-game stretch, highlighted by an 88-86 SEE BASKETBALL, PAGE 6

IFC Executive Board discusses goals

By Lindsay Moore liramoor@indiana.edu @_lindsaymoore

The 2014-15 Interfraternity Council Executive Board was elected Nov. 17 by the President’s Council.

The current IFC Executive Board interviewed all candidates who applied, 2013-14 Vice President of Communications Greg Ruffini said. Of the 16 candidates, eight were slated by the IFC. Four candidates chose to run off the floor, meaning they were not slated by the IFC. Below are the new executive board members who were voted in by the President’s Council.

Sam Snemis Junior Delta Tau Delta President Snemis “I am honored to serve the community as IFC president and work with the new executive team, as well as all chapter presidents, to create positive change. IFC hopes to be a resource to the rest of our chapters and to be trendsetters in discussing the challenges we face as IU students. We hope to promote a system of growth by rewarding our high-achieving chapters, as well as work with the rest of IU community to create a better Hoosier experience.”

Cameron Dark Sophomore Sigma Phi Epsilon Dark

Vice president for community programs “I want to highlight the positive impact our greek students make on those around them and introduce a variety of philanthropic initiatives to bring the greek community as a whole closer together.”

Joey Shin Sophomore Lambda Chi Alpha Vice president of recruitment Shin “I am looking to optimize the recruitment process for both potential new members and chapters.

As a member of the IFC Executive Board, I hope to increase awareness and knowledge about sexual assault/bystander intervention within the greek community as a whole.”

Jesse Scheinman Sophomore Delta Sigma Phi Scheinman Vice president of membership development “As VPMD, I would like to work as an adviser to each chapter to create individualized strategic plans that are designed to benefit both the fraternity as a whole and its individual members. A big focus of mine is to help each chapter be representative of the values that they were founded on, because I believe if we as fraternities live by our values we can

serve as a force for a positive college experience that benefits both the individual and the community.

Overall I would like to use this position to help each chapter be the best that they could be, tackle the human issues that affect the community and break down the barriers between greeks and non-affiliates.”

Joe Weber Junior Theta Chi Vice president of standards Weber “As vice president of standards, I hope to work actively with all 33 fraternity chapters to develop a culture of accountability at IU. In my specific role, I will help chapter leaders improve their risk management, health and safety and general organizational policies to help ensure all greek men conduct themselves in a positive and safe manner, on and off campus.”

Quint Barr Junior Phi Delta Theta Vice president of finance Barr “I hope to bring transparency, efficiency, fiscal responsibility.”

Quinn Rusnak Junior Sigma Chi Vice president of risk

management “As vice president of Risk for the IFC, I hope to provide a safe environment for all IU students. By working closely with my fellow IFC officers, chapter presidents, as well as my counterparts in Panhellenic Association Executive Committee, we hope to provide the safest and most enjoyable experiences to all members of greek life. I look forward to developing relationships with university officials as well as other students. I’m excited for the opportunity to represent my fellow students.”

Brian Singer Junior Sigma Alpha Mu Vice president of communications “If there is one message I can get across while serving my position as vice president of communications, it is that IFC is a resource for all. I am here as the liaison between IFC and the other members of greek life, but we as a whole are here to help anyone who may wish to seek it. I will be as transparent with the community as possible when it comes to interacting with the public. We’re all on the same team. We’re all one family.”

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning students may soon have a home at IU in the form of a thematic dorm community.

Barry Magee, assistant director of residence life, has introduced Spectrum to IU. Spectrum is a proposed thematic community specifically designed to house those who identify as LGBTQ. Magee said he hopes to create an environment where those who identify with the LGBTQ community, as well as allies, can come together and have comfortable conversations. He said Spectrum will ideally be a community where these students will learn while living within the community.

He said he hopes Spectrum will create an environment in which students leave IU more knowledgeable about themselves and those who surround them daily.

Before proposing this idea to the university, Magee asked the coordinator of IU GLBT Student Support Services, Doug Bauder, to write a letter of support for Spectrum as a floor fellow.

Expanding their intentions, Magee and Bauder said they hope this community will create a safer atmosphere on campus for the people in this community by bringing them together.

Bauder, while also serving on the GLBT Anti-Harassment Team, said he still has students who experience harassment for their identities.

“I feel that people of a minority value and need, at this point in our development as a culture, some space that is uniquely theirs,” Bauder said.

“When it comes to feeling comfortable and safe in your own room and your own home, I think it is important for us to be able to provide that.”

Magee has already presented the idea to the

Academic Information Services Advisory Committee, and he said there seemed to be unanimous support from the committee. He said they are looking to present the proposal to the executive director of Residential Programs and Services next.

If Spectrum is given the green light entirely, Magee said he hopes to create a committee of advisers that includes Bauder and himself. This committee will decide the housing arrangements and the assignment of resident assistants within the thematic community.

It is proposed that Spectrum will be a thematic community within Teter Quad because there are individual, locking bathrooms available.

Because this community includes those who are on a gender, identity and sexuality spectrum, it would be difficult to divide the community into single-gender roommate arrangements.

Bauder said there will be an effort to room students of similar identities together.

The proposal is that Spectrum will be up and running by the 2015 fall semester.

Once the community is officially approved, the promotion of Spectrum will begin.

Magee said he hopes the approval will happen in time that the option to live in this community will appear on student housing applications for the upcoming year.

Magee and Bauder both said they are optimistic about the success of this community, and they hope to see it grow in a positive way. They also said that only time and the efforts of students will determine how Spectrum develops moving forward.

“Ultimately we are hoping that this thematic community will transition into being a living-learning center, and that it will be in collaboration with our gender studies department,” Magee said.

The state of Indiana made more than $1 billion in general fund revenue in November.

While this is a $47.8 million decrease from estimates made in December 2013, this is an $86 million increase for the year-todate revenue since October, according to a news release from Gov. Mike Pence’s office.

It is also a $116.6 million increase from revenue received in November 2013.

The state has received approximately $5.4 billion this year, but that is $282.4 million less than expected so far.

The largest source of income for the revenue was in sales tax, adding $582.9 million, which is more than $6 million more than the estimated amount for the month. However, this

is the lowest that sales tax revenue has been for the 2015 fiscal year.

Individual income tax revenue was also lower than estimated for the month.

The state received $386.5 million in income tax, a nearly 10-percent decrease from what was expected. This revenue is 27 percent more than what was received in November 2013.

Corporate tax collections garnered $4 million this month. Corporate taxes have brought in 3.2 percent more revenue than what was expected since July.

However, it is 8 percent lower than what was received during the same period last year.

Corporate taxes have brought in $261.9 million throughout this fiscal year.

Bloomington police provide winter weather driving tips From IDS reports

As winter approaches southern Indiana, the Bloomington Police Department has released several tips for motorists to keep in mind while traveling.

Driving too fast for the weather conditions is the largest cause of traffic crashes during the winter season, according to a BPD

news release.

To stay safe, drivers should adequately prepare their cars for the wintry conditions and brush up on their winter driving skills.

Stopping and turning in wintry conditions is especially hazardous, and drivers are reminded to brake prior to turning to reduce the likelihood of skidding.

If the car should begin

to skid, drivers should apply the brakes and turn the front wheels in the direction they want to travel.

The release also included several vehicle preparedness tips for the approaching winter.

Tips include keeping tires at the manufacturer’s recommended pressure and routinely checking tire pressure during cold weather, making

sure windshield solvent is full, keeping new wiper blades, removing snow and ice from lights, windows and the license plate before driving, checking lights to make sure they’re still working and allowing extra time to reach the planned destination.

Drivers are also advised to prepare a winter driving survival kit to keep in their cars.

Items advised for inclusion

in the kit are an extra winter coat, pants, hat, boots and gloves, as well as a blanket, nonperishable food items, a flashlight with extra batteries, salt, matches, jumper cables, a tow strap, first aid kit, a spare tire and a jack and road flares.

Additionally, if drivers become stranded in their car for any reason, they are advised to not leave their vehicles and to wait for help.

Road condition information is available via the Indiana Department of Transportation, which can be reached at 800-261-7623.

Drivers should use the INDOT website or travel hotline before calling the police for information. Additional information can be found online at in.gov/isp/2332.htm.

‘The Newsroom’ pisses off the world “The Newsroom” has found itself under fire after Sunday night’s episode, concerning campus sexual assault.

In the episode, Don Keefer pre-interviews a rape victim and admits to feeling “morally

obligated” to believe in the innocence of her alleged rapist.

“The Newsroom” writer Alena Smith tweeted that when she argued against the scene she was kicked out of the writer’s room.

ONE MORE THOUGHT

Not so humanely raised after all

We are in danger of losing the person

NATALIE ROWTHORNE is a junior in journalism.

Imagine a chicken farm in Who Knows Where, Middle America, where an abundance of healthy, happy chickens frolic about in the open air as they peck and scratch about to their heart’s content. When it’s time to die, they skip gleefully down the conveyor belt to await slaughter.

Now imagine instead an enormous warehouse in which chickens are condemned to a short life in overcrowded conditions.

Their raw, fleshy undersides lack feathers from contact with the excrement beneath their feet from the thousands of other birds that came before them.

After reading Nicholas Kristof’s op-ed from the New York Times about these claimed-to-be “humanely raised” chickens, I found it all too much to stomach.

Somehow, the farm industries that breed these chickens for consumption manage to get the “raised cage-free” and “humanely raised” labels undeservedly stamped onto their products, even though it’s far from reality.

As a meat-eater and conscientious consumer, I was even more upset to find that the whole “cage-free” claim was a tactic used by farmers such as Jim Perdue, company chairman of Perdue Farms, to mislead consumers.

In a promotional video, Perdue discusses his belief in “doing the right thing,” which includes humanely raising chickens in a cagefree environment and feeding them a 100 percent veggie diet. His video paints a pretty, yet deceitful, picture of how chickens are raised in his “farms.”

Animal welfare group Compassion in World Farming accurately documented the living conditions of these birds. The chickens suffer from illness and genetic issues. Thousands die. The surviving birds squat most of their six-week lifespan because of their inability to carry the weight of their disproportionately large breasts.

The inhumane practices of intensive farming will continue as long as they are unknown to consumers. I would argue most of us prefer animals to be humanely raised. However, the harsh realities may cause some to turn a blind eye.

Converting to veganism is not a realistic goal for me, and it certainly wouldn’t be for many other meat-lovers.

However, it puts us in quite a predicament.

Compassion in World Farming urges consumers to look for labels such as “certified humane” or “animal welfare-approved.”

Unfortunately, such products will likely cost more and might be difficult to find.

Bloomington residents and IU students alike should support local farms and buy locally whenever possible. Organic chicken producers are more likely to adhere to humane practices than their non-organic counterparts.

These chickens live to be consumed, but that does not mean they should be treated like they are nothing.

As consumers, we should know exactly what we are so insatiably consuming.

We are what we eat, after all. nrowthor@indiana.edu

Ending campus rape WE SAY: It’s up to us to terminate sexual assault Together, we know a lot of victims of rape and sexual assault.

Curiously, none of us seem to know any rapists.

Considering sexual assault is a problem that conservatively affects about 1 in 5 women and 1 in 71 men — an estimate of almost 24 million Americans in total — it’s odd that we don’t know any of the perpetrators.

But the archetypal rapist is almost created to be someone we couldn’t know.

He’s ugly.

He’s friendless.

Cruelly sadistic, completely unsociable.

Likely in and out of jail.

He’s a straw man those who do commit sexual assault can easily hold up and say, “look, guys, that isn’t me.”

According to a 2002 study by David Lisak of the University of Massachusetts in Boston, and Paul Miller of the Brown University School of Medicine, about 6 percent of college men surveyed — 1 in 17 — are rapists.

This study might not be representative of college men nationally, but it does give an indication of how widespread the problem can be.

Women do commit sexual assault, but it is comparatively rare.

Nearly 98 percent of all sexual assaults are committed by men, according to a report by the White House Council for Women and Girls published in January 2014.

Who lurks behind the straw man?

They can be attractive.

Often, they have a consenting sexual partner. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, 22 percent of incarcerated rapists are married.

After all, rape isn’t really about sex, it’s about power. Compared to men who do not rape, those who do are often motivated by a need to dominate, in part to reaffirm their hyper-masculine attitudes and beliefs.

They can be your friends.

A 2005 DOJ study indicates that 73 percent of assailants are known to the victim. Of these, 38 percent are a friend or acquaintance, 28 percent are an intimate partner and 7 percent are a relative. Maybe we just know them from class.

Maybe we only ever see them at

parties. Maybe we live with them.

Maybe we talk to them every day.

If 1 in 17 college men has committed a sexual assault, this is a statistical inevitability.

They can be calculating.

Taken together, 76 of the admitted rapists in Lisak and Miller’s study enacted 439 attempted or completed rapes, averaging 5.8 assaults each. These men made up 4 percent of the entire sample. Following this data, the overwhelming majority of men are not rapists, but most rapists are serial rapists.

In a paper about these serial “undetected rapists,” Lisak concludes that they are strategic in their selection and grooming of potential victims. They only use enough violence to be successfully coercive and rarely resort to actual weapons. Instead, they use abusive psychology and alcohol to weaken their victims.

They’re running free.

An estimated 60 percent of rapes are never reported, according to DOJ data collected between 2008 and 2012. Of those reported, only 10 percent lead to a successful felony conviction. Even fewer lead to any prison time at all.

These data paint a bleak picture, but they’re not insurmountable. Though administrative and legal changes could help, simple behavioral changes can too.

Stop treating women like objects.

The phrase “hit it and quit it” literally refers to your sexual partner as a thing, not a person. So does the word “target.” Reexamine party themes that denigrate women, like the various iterations of “men and a not-so-clever pun on hoes” parties.

Be more accepting.

LGBT-identified people experience higher rates of sexual assault, in part because they are still marginalized by society at large. Transgender people are particularly vulnerable. Sixty-four percent of trans people have experienced sexual assault in their lifetimes, according to the National Center for Lesbian Rights. Sometimes these assaults are a manifestation of hate toward LGBT-identified people.

Don’t haze.

Sometimes hazing is simply a euphemism for sociallysanctioned sexual assault. IU

fraternities and sororities are officially banned from hazing and have actively organized against the practice.

Reject current norms of masculinity.

Social standards of masculinity are too-often divorced from what real men are or want to be. Pinning one’s manhood on heterosexual success is not only homophobic, it discourages male victims of rape from reporting. Male rapists are also more likely to adhere to a standard of hyper-masculinity.

Don’t laugh at rape jokes.

Jokes targeting victims of rape — most often women and prisoners — aren’t funny, they’re threatening. Laughing at rape jokes tells any “undetected rapists” in your vicinity that rape is no big deal. It tells rape victims that their trauma is laughable.

Keep people safe.

At parties, help make sure everyone gets home safely. Find ways to take care of anyone who might have had too much to drink. In the same way you would take away a drunken person’s keys so they wouldn’t drive, try to safely step in when you think someone might be too drunk to consent.

Believe victims.

At some point in your college career, one of your friends might disclose to you they were raped. It is true that sometimes people make false claims, but the number of real sexual assaults far outstrips imagined ones. As a friend, your default should be to believe.

Shun rapists.

Your friend might also disclose the identity of their attacker, who could be someone you know.

Stop hanging out with this person. Stop inviting them to parties where they might prey on other people you know. At the very least, avoid inviting the victim and the accused to the same event.

Call out anyone contributing to rape culture.

All of the above are recommendations to combat rape culture, or societal acceptance of the attitudes that make rapists think what they’re doing is OK. We’re not being overly politically correct. As long as so many of our peers are raped at IU every year, we’re being practical.

This will be my last column of the semester.

I thought I would end with a somewhat alarming, somewhat conspiratorial thought I have on the state of our world.

There is no doubt that this year has been eventful.

To name just a few: We have seen the creation or attempted creation of a radical terrorist state in the Middle East; the discussion of sexual assault has rightly been placed more prominently in the sphere of public view; and there is undoubted racial tension within the United States and a corresponding civil rights energy.

Our beloved, or formerly beloved, Bill Cosby is front and center a mile deep in rape accusations; Ukraine essentially dissolved as a nation overnight only to be reborn and pit Putin’s Russia against the West; our very own University has dealt with the loss of life; and scandal after scandal has plagued almost every area of public life. It sadly goes on and on.

There are those who say things are worse than they have ever been.

They preach a nostalgia for “better times” that is understandably tempting and alluring. They certainly do not lack evidence, at least for the problems of this current age.

I am not sure if things are actually worse, and in fact I doubt it is even possible to know such a thing.

But I do know something.

I do know that even if the unrest, for lack of a better word, is the same as it has been, how we perceive it seems to be quite different.

We appear to forget and to miss the person behind the events.

For example, when we are confronted with someone who has done something horrible, we immediately jump to analyze and dissect the web of causations that entangle us all.

We look for the psychological answers, the socioeconomic reasons, the perpetrator’s emotional state and his family life.

These are all good things and they tell us plenty about some of the factors that influence people, but they don’t tell the whole picture. Sadly, and I firmly believe this, people sometimes simply do what is wrong.

People are imperfect — they make mistakes. And sadly, sometimes those mistakes are awful.

Sometimes they hurt people, and they hurt society — they have no excuse and they have little reason for what they do, but they still do it.

As pessimistic as that sounds, I truly think coming to terms with this harsh reality is the only way to combat it.

My hope — it may be a fool’s hope — is that this upcoming New Year will be different and we will make progress in alleviating some of the problems we are faced with.

But I believe this is only possible if we stop trying to explain and start trying to heal — if we stop looking for all the reasons and start looking for the person. cgerst@indiana.edu

For a while, everything went as he had said. There was only kissing. But after a few minutes, he paused. “Can you have sex?”

He knew I had a boyfriend.

The question was a request for consent.

“I can’t have sex with you,” I told him. I said it a few more times. He remained unfazed.

“Here’s what we’re going to do,” he said. “I’m going to give you a turn of oral, then you’re going to give me a turn.”

I didn’t answer. I had just said I couldn’t have sex with him. It didn’t make sense that this was still happening.

So I froze. Physically. Mentally. For a while, I couldn’t speak. I wanted to run out of the room, but I was too afraid of what would happen if I did.

He suddenly bit me during oral sex, hard enough that I yelled.

“You liked that,” he said.

Later, he bit my nipple.

In return for the oral he gave me, he told me to do the same to him. But as I prepared to go down on him, he suddenly got much closer. He started going inside of me. The situation seemed out of my control. I did nothing to stop it because I didn’t know what to do. I just wanted it to end.

“This was your fault,” he announced. “You were on top of me, and I just couldn’t control myself.”

Almost immediately after he finished, I ran to my car. My hands trembled as I texted my friend David.

“What is rape?” I typed.

“Like, do you have to be screaming and fighting the whole time?”

When David met me at my apartment, I began to cry.

Then I laughed to keep from crying. Crying made me feel weak.

Although I was incapable of telling a coherent story, David heard enough to confirm I’d been raped. He wanted me to call the police, but I wasn’t ready.

David said he was going to step outside for a cigarette.

When he came back in, we didn’t speak. Ten, maybe 15 minutes had passed when I heard steps thumping up the stairs.

The Bloomington Police Department had sent two men to my apartment.

They began asking basic questions. What happened, who was involved, what time was it?

Then one of the police officers asked me if I had ever been attracted to the man. In that moment, I didn’t know.

But what did it matter?

“I don’t know, maybe,” I said. “I didn’t want to have sex with him tonight, if that’s what you mean.”

“I’m just trying to figure out if a crime was committed,” the officer said.

The two officers stepped outside to talk. I sat in a corner, my knees to my chest, thinking I could never be so humiliated again.

When the officers came

person said these investigations can be initiated based on statistical data on sexual assaults, individual allegations and prior complaints filed to a university.

Sexual assault is a complicated crime that is often under-reported. According to a White House Task Force report, one in five women will be sexually assaulted while on a college campus.

If that projection is true at IU-Bloomington, with a female population of over 18,000, over 3,700 of those women will be a victim of sexual assault on IU’s campus.

The University insists it takes the cases that reach them seriously. According to Office of Student Ethics records obtained by the Indiana Daily Student between July 1, 2011, and Dec. 31, 2013, 195 sexual misconduct cases were reported to the Office of Student Ethics, and 53 of those cases led to a hearing.

Two cases resulted in deferred suspension of the accused, 20 ended in expulsion and 22 led to suspension.

Nine cases, including Lyndsay’s, resulted in no finding against the accused.

When making decisions on cases, the Office of Student Ethics rules based on a preponderance of the evidence presented. If 50.01 percent of the evidence shows the respondent is responsible, serious sanctions can be im-

back inside, they stood by the door.

“If you think you were raped, you need to go the hospital,” one said.

If you think you were raped. The words rang of disbelief. * * * At the hospital, I went through another round of police questioning. My patience was thinning.

“Look, I need you to communicate with me,” a new officer said. “If you don’t tell me anything else, I can’t help you.”

I chose to open an investigation, so when the uniformed officers finished questioning me, they called in a detective.

It would be about 45 minutes before he arrived. In the meantime, a nurse began asking questions for the rape kit.

Each question referred to a different part of the body and a different action. For each one, the nurse said the name of the friend who had forced himself on me. I was hearing it over and over again.

Did he bite, suck or grab my breasts? Did he bite or suck my labia?

Eventually, the detective arrived.

“If I seem a little out of it, it’s because I was in bed,” he said.

He was apologizing, but I was offended.

“Sorry to have dragged you out here,” I said.

He took my story and then asked if I wanted him to pursue a criminal investigation.

Theoretically, it seemed like a good idea. But now I was starting to understand how exhausting it would be.

If he was put in jail, what would he do if he got out? I imagined he would be livid.

The possibility was frightening.

I told the detective I had changed my mind about pressing charges. I made excuses. The detective told me he would close the case and left. I continued with the rape kit.

I held up a paper with my name and patient information posed on the student, said Jason Casares, assistant dean of students and director, deputy Title IX coordinator. However, when a student is not found responsible, like in Lyndsay’s case, no sanctions are imposed.

“We’re not saying that nothing happened,” Casares said. “We just didn’t have enough information to meet the burden of proof.”

Intensive interview processes are held with the respondent, the complainant and any witnesses. Panel members volunteer from different campus departments serve on hearing panels.

Currently, 23 staff members from the Bloomington campus serve as panel members, more than half of whom work for Residential Programs and Services. The rest come from the Student Union, the Kelley School of Business, Student Life and Learning and Emergency Management and Continuity, as well as the Office of Student Ethics.

In order to serve on these hearing panels, staff members must complete more than 50 hours of training, including reading material on sexual assault research and attending in-person seminars taught by professionals who work with sexual assault victims.

This training is more comprehensive than the two-hour training mandated before 2011. That same year, the U.S. Department of Education issued a Dear Colleague letter to college administrations

for a camera while the nurse snapped my picture. Another nurse undergoing training stood near, observing and stepping in when needed.

I peed in a cup and took a pregnancy test. The nurse asked me to swab the inside of my cheeks and gums for the man’s DNA and run a piece of plastic under my fingernails to search for traces of his skin.

She told me to take off my clothes and stand on a piece of paper to catch any of the man’s DNA that fell off me.

The nurse and her trainee turned off the lights and shined a UV light over my skin. They searched every inch of my body for the glow of semen. When they found some on my legs, they took samples with cotton swabs.

When this part was over, I laid down on an exam bed for the vaginal exam. The nurse inserted a speculum into my vagina. She said she was going to press on my cervix and that it might be a little painful. She pressed harder and harder until I finally cried out. * * * He started to call me every day. When I didn’t pick up the phone, he texted. He wanted to see me again.

He hadn’t reached out to me so frequently before. I couldn’t understand it. I asked my counselor, a sexual assault specialist, why this was happening. She told me his behavior was typical for a rapist.

“He wants to control the information you have,” the counselor said. She suggested getting a no-contact order from the Office of Student Ethics.

I had made up my own explanations for why he was reaching out to me with such urgency. Maybe he liked me and had wanted a relationship. The thought made me feel guilty.

I wanted more than anything to pick up the phone and find out why he had done this to me. I wanted to understand why I missed him when I

hoped to never see him again.

But I knew talking to him wouldn’t help me make sense of anything. So I ignored him.

This was successful until I ran into him one day. I was at Baja Fresh in the Indiana Memorial Union, ordering quesadillas, when he joined the line.

We spoke briefly. About what, I can’t remember. I was preoccupied with seeming normal but failed miserably. While he waited for his food, I shuffled away. He ate with another girl, and when he finished, he came over and sat in the chair across from me.

“So,” he said, without any lightness in his tone, “tell me the real reason you got all weird on me.”

I felt his anger, the heat of it, radiating from his body to mine. Eventually, I shrugged.

“I don’t ... I don’t know.”

He stood, and the chair skidded back from him. When he was gone, I fled to the Office of Student Ethics.

Later, the student ethics office issued the no-contact order against the man and began looking into the case. Because I was reporting a sexual assault by another IU student, a three-person panel would hold a sort of “trial” to determine if disciplinary action was necessary. As the complainant, it was my job to offer enough evidence to prove that my story was true. * * * The hearing was that December, during finals week.

The two of us took our seats on either side of the divider.

My skin crawled every time I heard him shift in his chair or speak aloud.

We sat across from Jason Casares, the associate dean of students, as well as two other IU staff members, both women. Everyone had copies of the information that had been gathered — my medical reports, notes taken from phone calls and in-office meetings, our written statements. My typed statement in the file was

across the country, stating universities’ obligations in responding to sexual violence.

Debbie Melloan, a licensed clinical social worker for IU Counseling and Psychological Services, has taught seminars at these training sessions. She said while training is important, human nature can still play a role in the decision-making process.

If panel members have never been in situations where they have felt a loss of control, they could reach inaccurate conclusions, she said.

“People tend to just react out of their own life experiences,” Melloan said.

The University defines consent as an “agreement or permission expressed through affirmative, voluntary words or actions that are mutually understandable to all parties involved.” This means

that a verbal “yes” clearly understood by both parties signifies consent. In cases lacking a verbal “yes,” Casares said there are some actions that could also express consent.

He said panel members analyze these actions on a caseby-case basis.

Melloan said she sees a great deal of miscommunication in these cases.

“One person might assume that person is interested in them sexually without it ever being discussed,” she said.

Melloan said it is typical for victims to freeze in the moment of their assault, as Lyndsay did. She said this frozen mentality usually comes when a victim is being assaulted in a situation where they thought they were safe, such as when the perpetrator is a friend.

“They could be intimidat-

roughly two pages. His statement was in pencil, one paragraph on wide rule paper.

Amber Monroe, the investigator assigned to the case, had written a summary of her first call to the man I’d accused. Immediately after introducing herself, she said, the man had begun cursing at her.

Minutes later, he apologized and said he was a veteran.

Casares explained how the hearing would unfold. I could give an opening statement.

The panel would question me.

Any witnesses I had would come into the room and make statements. The panel would question them. Then the accused would have his turn.

“Sexual consent,” I said, reading from my statement, “is defined as being a direct verbal confirmation — a voluntary yes — and something that can be described as active and enthusiastic.”

I had never given consent, I told the panelists. They asked why I went to his apartment.

They asked how my nipple had been bitten. Had I taken off my shirt voluntarily, or did he remove it? I told them he had rolled up the shirt.

I didn’t really understand how these questions made a difference.

When we came back, David, my only witness, had arrived.

“I knew something was really wrong,” he said, describing my behavior that night. “She kept acting like ... like a cornered animal.”

The accused made his statement next.

“I thought Lyndsay was a beautiful, intelligent girl, and I saw sex as a natural progression toward a relationship,” he said.

For a moment, I almost believed him. I had the urge to rush over and hug him, to say I was sorry. But there was a catch. People don’t rape people they like.

The thought of saying sorry or hugging him vanished. In fact, the thought repulsed me.

“Why did you invite her ed or too impaired to be able to speak up,” Melloan said.

“That could stop them from saying ‘yes’ or ‘no.’”

Problems with communication are not limited to consent. When Lyndsay initially reported a sexual assault, the police instructed her to respond casually to her alleged perpetrator if he ever reached out to her after the incident.

The detective wanted to see if she could get him to admit any remorse for that night or indicate that he knew the sex was not consensual.

While she continued talking to him, Lyndsay remembers almost longing for the friendship they had before the incident. This response is not uncommon, said Rene Henry, assistant director of the Student Advocates program.

The trauma of a rape, Henry explains, can affect victims in unusual ways, and victims might feel like reaching out to their rapists to help them make sense of their assault.

“Every person has their unique responses to what happens,” Henry said.

“They’re all normal reactions to abnormal situations.” * * * Since the announcement of the Title IX investigation, IU has made strides to improve its platform on sexual assault awareness and prevention.

But the University’s hearing process draws mixed reactions from people who work with victims.

5 over to begin with?” Casares said.

“I wanted to kiss her,” he said.

Casares had told me he was going to try to generate a reaction from the accused that would “break him.” Now Casares asked him if his time as an Army Ranger might sometimes make him come across as forceful or demanding.

“There was no way my words could have come across as demanding,” he said.

Casares asked him if he had noticed any hesitancy from me. At first, the man said no. He said our sex was as comfortable as “between husband and wife.” But eventually, he admitted he had noticed my reluctance. Twice.

“Everyone is hesitant when they have sex with a new person, though.”

Soon it was time for closing statements.

I told the panel, once again, that I was looking for a suspension based on IU’s standard of consent.

“Sexual consent is defined as a verbal yes. In this hearing, neither side has testified that I said yes, because I didn’t.”

Two weeks later, I was called to the ethics office to learn the panelists’ unanimous decision: “no finding.”

“I know this may not be what you wanted, but we just didn’t think there was enough evidence to determine what happened,” Casares said. “I really did try to break him, but I couldn’t.”

I appealed and was granted a second hearing during the spring semester. A new trio of panelists listened to the recording of the first hearing and read the documents.

When the office called with the ruling, I couldn’t bring myself to pick up the phone.

A voice mail told me the news.

Another no finding.

Two months later, I stood at an X-bus stop near the Indiana Memorial Union as I waited for the ride back home.

I was listening to a Fall Out Boy song when I saw my rapist.

He was unshaven and his hair was longer, so it took me a second to register who he was.

He was walking up to the bus stop with a friend who’d been his witness at the hearing.

When he saw me, I froze again. I locked eyes with him and waited for him to break the gaze. He stopped speaking abruptly, then told his friend, “Keep going.”

I assumed he and his friend would wait for the next bus, because he was under a nocontact order. But to my surprise, they got on the bus. I sat in the back, and he stood up front. I stared at him. He never looked back. The whole bus ride I shook and burned with anger. He was standing there, not doing anything to me, but doing everything all over again and getting away with it.

When we came to my stop, I was one of the first out the middle door.

As the bus pulled away, we walked in opposite directions.

When I turned around, he was looking at me, watching me walk home.

Toby Strout, executive director of Middle Way House, works with victims of sexual and domestic violence in the Bloomington community.

Strout said many students she works with are unhappy with IU’s process. She often sees them leaving the campus system feeling tarnished.

“They feel that they’re going to go through a long period of recovery, and that they end up carrying a burden from somebody else’s criminal intent,” she said.

Jawn Bauer has worked on and off as a volunteer attorney for Middle Way House for nearly 25 years, providing legal consultation and representation for victims of sexual and domestic abuse. Bauer has found it is important to remain patient with clients to help them become comfortable enough to speak openly.

“This is a person that has been traumatized, and you have to empathize with that,” Bauer said. “You have to understand that it may cause them problems in communication.”

Strout said she does not believe the University should be hearing these cases. But she understands the University may have no choice.

“The University operates more like a business,” she said.

“It’s not in its best interest to make it clear how much sexual assault there is on campus.

For that reason, they should take people out of the process for whom that’s going to be paramount.”

IU to face Cardinals’ defense Alden Woods aldwoods@indiana.edu | @acw9293

There isn’t a defense like Louisville’s in college basketball. IU is about to experience it firsthand.

The Cardinals are a defensive paradox: big and fast, technical and physical, pressing in the full court and swarming in the half court.

Statistically, Louisville isn’t the best defensive team in the country — kenpom.com ranks it at No. 2 in adjusted defensive efficiency — but the Cardinals’ frantic brand of defense is unmatched.

Turn on the tape and it becomes clear — there are no easy possessions for its opponents this season.

The Cardinals press the entire length of the court and often put four players in the opponent’s half to create pressure. Once in a half-court set, Louisville presses up on ball handlers, because 6-foot8 forward Montrezl Harrell or 6-foot-10 center Chinanu Onuaku can protect the rim if necessary. That pressure has forced opponents into 19.6 turnovers per game. Louisville is keeping opponents to just 49.3 points per game and 31.2 percent shooting.

“They have as good of a pressure of a defensive team as I have seen to this point,” IU Coach Tom Crean said.

“And they don’t let up. The bottom line is, they never go away and they don’t let up.”

Louisville’s pressure on ball handlers stifles their ability to shoot. Cardinal opponents have shot just 22.8 percent from 3-point

range this season, more than 5 percent lower than the national average.

That could create a problem for an IU team that picks up almost 32 percent of its points from deep. IU has knocked down nine 3-pointers per game this season and has made at least seven in every game. Louisville has allowed opponents to make just four 3-pointers per game.

Whether or not IU can create enough space for its shooters could decide Tuesday’s game. Once again, IU will have to compensate for its lack of size inside.

Harrell, Louisville’s preseason All-American, will be the biggest threat to IU’s interior. The 6-foot-8, 240-pound Harrell could create havoc for

a shallow IU front line that has yet to receive consistent minutes from any one player.

Harrell has averaged 16.1 points, 9.4 rebounds and a block per game. IU will likely turn to a combination of junior forward Hanner Mosquera-Perea and freshman forward Emmitt Holt to slow him down.

The Cardinals score the bulk of their points inside, either through their slashing guards or Harrell’s post presence. Turn them into a jumpshooting squad, and they could struggle to score.

Crean said one of Louisville’s biggest strengths is its comfort playing in any style of game. That strength is a byproduct of Louisville Coach Rick Pitino, he said.

quarterback Marcus Mariota and Wisconsin running back Melvin Gordon are the three finalists.

Coleman finished the 2014 season with 2,036 yards on 270 carries.

MEN’S BASKETBALL (7-1) vs. No. 4 Louisville (7-0) 9 p.m., Dec. 8, New York “So I think the thing I can say best about (Pitino) is that he is comfortable with the game in the 70s or 80s and is comfortable if the game is in the 40s or 50s,” Crean said.

IU faces a team unlike any other Tuesday night. For the first time this season, the Hoosiers enter a game as heavy underdogs — kenpom. com gives IU just a 16 percent chance of victory.

Crean didn’t dance around the difficulty of pulling off an upset.

“For us, we are going to have to play out of our minds,” he said.

upset loss to Eastern Washington.

Eventually, the Hoosiers were going to be tested again. Tonight, that test comes from the No. 4 Louisville Cardinals and the frontcourt and the one-two punch of junior forward Montrezl Harrell and 6-foot10 freshman center Chinanu Onuaku.

The Hoosiers (7-1) and Cardinals (7-0) will tip off at 9 p.m. at Madison Square Garden as part of the Jimmy V Classic.

IU Coach Tom Crean spoke highly of the matchup against Louisville Coach Rick Pitino, mentioning previous battles the two have had during Crean’s time at Marquette. The two were together in October co-chairing the Indiana Derby Horse race and have split their 14 matchups against one another.

“The bottom line, Rick is one of the best that’s ever done it,” Crean said.

“There’s no way around that.

If he had not gone to the NBA with the Knicks and the Celtics, he could be sitting right there with Mike Krzyzewski getting ready for his thousandth win.”

For Crean’s Hoosiers to hand Pitino’s team its first loss of the season, the Hoosiers will need to limit Harrell and Onuaku.

The two combine to present a challenge IU has yet to see this season, but the Hoosiers will need to get used to with a Big Ten schedule featuring post players like Wisconsin’s Frank Kaminsky and Michigan State’s Branden Dawson.

The 6-foot-8, 240-pound Harrell is averaging 16.1 points and 9.4 rebounds per game and enters the Garden having recorded three consecutive double-doubles for the undefeated Cardinals.

The preseason All-American has scored at least 12 points in every game and had as many as 30 against Minnesota.

“Montrezl Harrell is much like their entire team, he is relentless on both ends of the court,” Crean said.

“He can run the floor. He can score at the rim and he can shoot the ball. And he can really rebound it. He causes tremendous problems because of his length, but their entire team does the same thing.”

Onuaku is lesser known,

Read what columnist Casey Krajewski has to say online.

Casey Krajewski gives his take on IU’s matchup with Louisville and the Hoosiers’ chance of an upset in New York against the Cardinals at idsnews.com having only appeared in seven games, but he is averaging 6.1 points and seven rebounds thus far.

He made 18-of-23 shot attempts while also adding 2.7 blocks per game. For reference, freshman forward Emmitt Holt leads IU averaging 1.5 blocks per game.

Junior forward Hanner Mosquera-Perea and sophomore forward Troy Williams will likely be tabbed with guarding Onuaku and Harrell, respectively, but the Hoosiers might once again rely on a pair of bench forwards who have taken on significant roles early on.

Sophomore forward Collin Hartman and Holt have both taken minutes when Mosquera-Perea has struggled and have responded well. The two combined for 15 points and 10 rebounds in Saturday’s blowout win against Savannah State.

“We’ve got to keep developing that,” Crean said.

“Collin and Emmitt are getting so much done because of the hustle game.”

The question of whether or not IU’s lack of post depth will undoubtedly continue past Tuesday, but the matchup with Louisville may at least partially answer any concerns.

IU’s guards have proven they can score in bunches at home. IU is averaging 88.4 points per game, good enough for fourth in the nation. But if IU plays without a frontcourt presence, there’s only so much the guards can do, especially on a neutral environment in IU’s first game away from Assembly Hall.

The trial by fire rotation of Mosquera-Perea, Williams, Hartman and Holt has mostly worked thus far, and Crean will once again look for the latter two to contribute tonight against the biggest frontcourt test to date.

“I think our team is really excited about playing on such a big stage,” freshman guard James Blackmon Jr. said. “We have a lot of respect for Louisville and a game like this will help us get ready for what we will see in the Big Ten.”

SEXUAL ASSAULT AT IU IDS INVESTIGATES

“Under FERPA, a school must provide an eligible student with an opportunity to inspect and review his or her education records within 45 days following its receipt of a request.

A school is required to provide an eligible student with copies of education records, or make other arrangements, if a failure to do so would effectively prevent the student from obtaining access to the records.

A case in point would be a situation in which the student does not live within commuting distance of the school.”

Sexual assault survivors say restrictive campus and legal policies meant to protect privacy cost them closure and may re-open emotional wounds.

n a private room within the Office of Student Ethics, Rachel relived the moments when she was raped in a campus fraternity house.

Across a study table from her, an investigator sat and monitored Rachel while she read the contents of a disciplinary file that included a personal statement about the encounter from her rapist.

She could only get through one sentence of the man’s account before closing the file and pushing it back across the table, too angry to finish.

Rachel, now an IU junior, was sexually assaulted her freshman year and decided to pursue a sexual misconduct hearing through the IU Office of Student Ethics. She spoke to the IDS and asked that she only be identified by her first name because her rapist returned to campus this year after being suspended.

Several times before the hearing, she reviewed materials in a judicial file that collected all the information from the investigation. Rachel wanted a chance to read the personal statements in the comfort of her home, without supervision. She wanted to discuss the information openly during a phone call to her sister for advice.

“I just honestly didn’t want to read it there,” Rachel said. “It was just super uncomfortable for me, and that’s something I would’ve rather read in private.”

But the office staff couldn’t let her take a copy home with her. An IU

policy prohibits students — including those who report or are accused of sexual assault — from obtaining copies or taking photos of disciplinary files that include identifying information about other students. Rachel could only look at the judicial file for her own case during certain hours of the day and under supervision in the Office of Student Ethics.

IU’s policy is in line with that of other universities and follows federal law on the curation of student records, but some sexual assault victims say the policy works against them.

Students such as Rachel and Jen Miller, a 33-year-old IU student who was sexually assaulted two and a half years ago, said restricted file access costs them closure and could re-traumatize some victims by only allowing them to work through the information under supervision.

Though this policy is meant to protect students’ privacy, it means victims no longer have control over their own information. Once a sexual assault is reported to the Office of Student Ethics, that information effectively belongs to IU, not the student who submitted the complaint, Associate Dean of Students Jason Casares said.

Arica, Chile is known as the city of “eternal spring,” for its constant sunshine and the fact that it never rains.

Looking at the final days in South America It’s truly hard to believe that my last week in South America has arrived. As I sit underneath a glowing sun, my feet pointed toward the Pacific Ocean, my heart grieves at the thought of the chilly winter I know awaits me back home.

For the past week, I’ve been in Arica, Chile, a coastal city in the Atacama Desert.

Every day the sun shines brightly, and there is always a brisk sea breeze blowing, keeping everyone cool and the humidity at bay.

It is called the city of

“eternal spring.” According to my hostel owner, Franklin Bright, a California native and Vietnam War veteran, it never rains in Arica, and he’s never seen it get below 55 degrees.

As I’ve been enjoying the incredible weather, learning how to surf and exploring the city, I’ve discovered it has a rich history and is a huge point of pride for a lot of Chileans.

Arica is Chile’s northernmost city and used to be a part of Peru. The city functions as an important port for an expansive inland

region of South America.

Its advantageous location made it much coveted.

Peru lost Arica to Chile following the War of the Pacific. The Treaty of Ancón, signed in 1883, officially relinquished control of the city to the Chileans.

Today, on top of the “Morro,” a steep hill in Arica, sits a museum detailing the War of the Pacific and Chile’s involvement.

There is a large statue of Jesus Christ on top of the Morro with his arms stretched out to the Pacific.

Upon further exploring,

I discovered that the Museo Arqueológico de San Miguel de Azapa in Arica is home to some of the oldest examples of artificially mummified human remains in the world, the Chinchorro mummies.

Books serve as perfect holiday gifts during her walks each day.

A physical book wouldn’t fit her needs.

For those relatives who keep their eyes glued to their tablet, a gift card to their favorite online bookstore will brighten their winter months. Just remember to buy the correct gift card for the tablet i.e. iTunes for iPad, Amazon for Kindle and Barnes & Noble for Nook.

But if your recipient brags about their stuffed bookshelf and you’ve heard them describe the smell of book pages, a physical book is the better option.

Recently released books are the best option if you’re unsure what your recipient has read. If it’s in the newly released section, chances are they haven’t had the chance to devour it.

If you’re unsure what type genre of book to choose, think about the person’s likes and dislikes.

Thanksgiving night, I visited the local Target near my home (which was shockingly not crowded) and came across the last copy of Amy Poehler’s new book “Yes, Please.”

It had been on my Amazon wish list since it was available for pre-order. I noticed that this copy was an “exclusive” signed first edition.

Amy Poehler is one of my favorite funny ladies and I’m currently trying to convince my family to start watching Parks and Recreation. I couldn’t pass up the wonderful opportunity of having this copy, so I bought it, brought it home and asked my father to give it to me for Christmas.

Though it seems silly to have bought my own present, I’m a firm believer that if you buy something before the holiday, you should

After the expiration of his contract on Bloodshot Records and a short relationship with Communion Records, he signed to Vagrant Records shortly before the release of the album.

“Single Mothers” was intended to be a double album.

“It was a conscious decision just to kind of break them up and not pile too much on people at once after, you know, two and a half years or so of not making records,” Earle said.

The second half of the set, “Absent Fathers,” is intended for release Jan. 14.

“There’s a definite downside to the first record, ‘Single Mothers,’” Earle said. “It’s still kind of grasping for some control after all those years, basically. Then the second one, it’s seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. It’s nowhere near it, I mean, it’s still a pinhole in the distance, but you can see it at least.”

The Bluebird’s doors open at 7 p.m. and the show will begin at 8 p.m.

Tickets are available in advance through the venue’s website, thebluebird.ws or at Earle’s personal website, justintownesearle.com.

How to look nice, warm for exam week

BY THE BOOK

Before you can even settle down to digest the mountain of food you ate during Thanksgiving break, the winter holidays are upon you.

If your holiday traditions include gift giving, this year, discover books as the perfect present. They especially come in handy when you’re at a complete loss of what to get someone.

Some of my favorite gifts have been books, especially for the holidays when boredom seems to creep into the school break.

Last year, “The Bell Jar” was one of my gifts from my mother and I read the entire thing in one day. I convinced her to read it while we drove my caravan of winter clothes back up to IU last January.

The format of the book is a decision worth thinking about for your recipient.

My grandmother prefers audiobooks she listens to on her way to work and

After a tour with a full band in the fall, singer-songwriter Justin Townes Earle will perform a solo acoustic show in Bloomington.

Earle will perform at 8 p.m. tonight at the Bluebird Nightclub.

“It’s gotten to be that my fans do expect a certain number of solo shows a year,” Earle said.

He also said small clubs such as the Bluebird with more intimate crowds are often better for acoustic shows like the one Earle is set to be doing.

“I have had the issue in larger cities these days where the rooms are getting big enough that I’m having a problem with a bit of a disconnect with the crowd, so it is fun to get back into a regular club where you can see everybody and judge their reaction to the songs,” he said.

Earle hasn’t played in Bloomington since a house show he did about 14 years ago.

Because of his unfamiliarity with the area, he said he expects his visit to be a “pleasantly surprising” experience.

His most recent album, “Single Mothers,” was released Sept. 9.

wait until then to have it.

The point of gifts during the holidays is the kindness and selflessness in the form of giving. A personal gift, a book you’ve researched, looked for and wrapped is personal.

If you feel you’re in the giving mood, donations pop up around this time of year. Donate a children’s book to Toy’s for Tots. Your gifts to children don’t always have to come in plastic packaging with twist ties.

A book isn’t flashy, expensive and it’s hardly materialistic.

Books involve learning and discovering of a new world. You’re not just giving someone paper with words printed on the pages — you’re giving them an experience. maehogan@indiana.edu

After three semesters of college, I’ve pretty much nailed down the anatomy of the typical exam week look.

Leggings or oversize sweats, Uggs or Hunter Boots, some form of Indiana sweatshirt and if you’re lucky, maybe a hint of makeup.

I get it, exam week is rough. Do I put a lot of effort into my appearance that week? Not so much. But I’ve figured out little ways to cheat the system and get by looking like I do make an effort.

And while exam week is a time when you will mostly be studying, keep in mind that you will be several times more likely to bump into people you know at the library or other studying hot spots.

Last week I went to bed with my hair up in a bun and didn’t touch it until the next night. And no one could tell. All I had to do was put a dress and earrings on, and it looked like I had dressed up

for the day.

Looking nice isn’t always about the amount of time you put into it but rather how you style yourself.

In the midst of these last two weeks, not only will we be dealing with finals, but we will also be entering the heart of winter. And while I actually enjoy the winter, I understand the vast majority is not with me on that one.

ON SAVING TIME Tip #1: Dresses People always ask me when I wear a dress, “What are you dressed up for?”

The honest answer? I either didn’t have any clean pants that day or didn’t feel like wearing them.

While it may seem like the opposite, dresses are perfect for exam week, because you don’t have to match them with anything SEE EXAM WEEK, PAGE 9

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 to their education records — including disciplinary records — to inspect and correct errors in the materials.

“Under FERPA, a school must provide an eligible student with an opportunity to inspect and review his or her education records within 45 days following its receipt of a request,” according to the most updated FERPA guidance from the U.S. Department of Education’s website.

“A school is required to provide a student with copies of education records, or to make other arrangements, if a failure to do so would effectively prevent the student from obtaining access to the records.

A case in point would be a situation in which the student does not live within commuting distance of the school,” the guidance states.

Aimee Burkert Oestreich, assistant general counsel at IU, said the University would not mail a copy of the student records but would opt to make other arrangements. She said she could not give an example for privacy reasons.

“The University would evaluate what other arrangements may be appropriate on a case-by-case basis as such arrangements would be case-specific,” Burkert Oestreich said in an email. “Accordingly, we cannot effectively speculate about an example.”

For misconduct complaints, the IU Office of Student Ethics keeps a centralized judicial file, which includes all information generated from the original complaint to the final decision at a campus judicial hearing. A judicial file might include the original complaint of misconduct, personal statements from the complainant and defendant and sometimes police reports, if the alleged victim reported their assault to law enforcement, as well. If a victim had a rape kit done, hospital and medical records may be included, then removed after the campus judicial hearing — again, to protect student privacy.

Rachel’s file included statements from her attacker and the witnesses he called for the hearing. When she read through her file in the office room, she would skim through any new information and hand it back so the staff member supervising her could leave.

“They say take as much time as you want to read your stuff, but with everyone sitting in there, you feel bad taking up their time,” she said. “I would feel them standing near me, eager for me to be done.”

The day before the hearing, a nervous Rachel called her sister about the investigation. But without her file with her at home, she would forget details included in the materials, which left her feeling less prepared for the hearing.

During the hearing, Rachel felt as though she was hearing the information for the first time. She felt blindsided and frustrated, she said.

Both the alleged victim and the alleged perpetrator,

Jason Casares, associate dean of students, opens a divider in the Office of Student Ethics’ conference room that, during hearings, acts to separate complainants from respondents. Neither side can see the other, but they can hear each other’s voices during the hearing. Both students can review judicial materials before the hearing, but only during certain hours and under supervision in the Office of Student Ethics.

“Someone who has recently been through the trauma of an assault may not be in the mindset to sit down and copy by hand the relevant information in the files. If she could obtain an electronic copy, that would be far less re-traumatizing than having to read every word and write it down.”

team. Ball State University does the same.

One exception is the University of Michigan, which allows students to take copies out of the office at any time, spokesman Rick Fitzgerald said in an email.

The Bloomington Police Department has procedures similar to IU. Investigatory records are not available for public access in Indiana, and BPD considers sexual assault victims as members of the general public under this rule. They are not able to see their full case file during or after the investigation, said Joan Manning, BPD Records Division Supervisor.

Manning said BPD generally evaluates requests on a case-by-case basis. Victims can sit down with an officer and look at a file, but they can’t remove files or request copies of full case reports.

This is an institutionalized policy that has become common for the way sexual assault investigations are carried out in university and criminal settings.

Jen Miller, who was involved with an IU sexual assault support group for more than a year, agreed with Rachel that privacy is important when victims of sexual assault review their information.

She said allowing victims to look at investigation materials on their own time could be better for their peace of mind.

“Someone who has

reply from the Office of Student Ethics after three calls.

Casares has previously said students who aren’t in commuting distance of the university, such as Janda, would not be able to receive a personal copy of their case file. Instead they would have to make other arrangements to review their file.

Distance is not an exception to the University policy.

Janda said she sees the policy as a restriction on complainants and respondents so the University can avoid litigation. After the results of her hearing and subsequent appeals, for which her rapist was sanctioned with one year’s suspension, she and her parents filed a request with the federal Office of Civil Rights to investigate IU for a possible Title IX violation.

“The more victims with their judicial files, the more opportunities for lawyers, litigators and advocates to review those files, judgments and injustices,” she said in an email. “The more documents out there ... the more opportunities for victims, parents and even attorneys to find legal standing against the university.”

Though her complaint went to a campus judicial hearing in 2006, before Casares or Land worked at IU, the same policies regarding student record access were in place.

“Honestly, I believe both claimants and respondents, regardless of guilt, should be

furnished with a copy of their files without even asking,” Janda said. “It should be standard procedure. That way if a defendant is in fact innocent, they are then afforded the same opportunity to review the facts, correct the record ... or seek legal counsel.”

Though she has problems with IU’s policy, Rachel said office staff were helpful and tried to make her more comfortable. She acknowledges it’s hard to balance protecting student privacy and a victim’s comfort.

“It’s a sticky situation,” she said. “There’s no easy way to do that.”

After Rachel was assaulted, she wrote letters to her attacker. She never sent them, she said — her therapist suggested writing them to help her cope with her feelings.

When she re-read them recently, two years after she was assaulted, Rachel realized she forgot how traumatized she was at the time.

She said sometimes she thinks she made too much of the incident, that her attacker was really a nice guy.

“Now I remember he ruined my freshman year,” she said.

A copy of her file, Rachel said, could give her a sense of closure just like the letters did.

“If I had those files, maybe I could remember what I would feel like,” she said.

“Even though it’s not something I want to remember ... you should remember how it affected you.”

elaborate mummification process that lasted for thousands of years.

Turns out, South American mummies are quite a bit older than the Egyptian mummies.

While the mummies discovered in Egypt were dated about 3,000 B.C., the oldest mummy from the Atacama was dated about 7,020 B.C. The oldest discovered Chinchorro mummy was dated about 5,050 B.C. It was a child found about 60 miles south of Arica in the Camarones Valley.

Though this week of exploring, learning about mummies and traveling has been interesting, and I have learned a lot about the culture and history surrounding Arica, it has been a bit scary at times, being a lone traveler.

Still, I will remember my trip to Arica as one of my favorites, as I’ve made more Chilean friends and friends from all over the world through surfing, another

referred to as the complainant and respondent, respectively, can review the judicial file related to their case as the misconduct investigation progresses, Casares said.

They can take notes and are allowed to inspect the file with an advocate, but they can’t make copies or take photos. Office staff are assigned to supervise each student to make sure no one removes or copies parts of the file.

“IU has a responsibility to protect the privacy of all those involved in a student judicial proceeding, not just the individual who has filed the complaint,” IU spokesperson Mark Land said in an email.

IU’s policy means a limited number of people can access private information related to the judicial proceedings, Land said, and those people can’t make copies.

Casares said the two students involved have equal opportunities to inspect their files.

“Everybody has the same access to the same information,” Casares said.

IU isn’t the only university to have this policy. Ohio State University only allows files outside its Office of Student Conduct if the files are subpoenaed — a policy that is legal under FERPA. Even then, information that could identify students outside the scope of that investigation is redacted by OSU’s legal

recently been through the trauma of an assault may not be in the mindset to sit down and copy by hand the relevant information in the files,” Miller said. “If she could obtain an electronic copy, that would be far less re-traumatizing than having to read every word and write it down.”

Frank LoMonte, executive director of the Student Press Law Center, told the IDS there’s legally no difference between allowing a student to inspect their judicial file on-site and allowing them to take a copy home.

“The Department of Education has been asked whether a student can make copies even if there is no obstacle to the student reviewing the records on-site, and the Department’s answer was yes, a student has that right,” LoMonte said.

Miller said not allowing victims access to copies of the paperwork creates barriers to self-advocacy and defense.

“Not only does this prevent a victim from actively participating in her hearing at IU, if she decides later to pursue criminal charges outside of the university, she is less prepared to do so,” Miller said.

Margaux Janda, a former IU student whose complaint against the University over the short disciplinary sanction for her rapist made national news in 2010, tried to request her file at the IDS’ request but did not receive a

hobby I’ve picked up here in Arica.

Yes, I am going to miss this country very much. I am going to miss all the new friends I’ve made and might never see again. I’m going to miss the smell of the Pacific Ocean. I’m going to miss bustling to class in Santiago. I’m really going to miss

traditional Chilean food such as empanadas and choripan.

Looking back now, I see there were some rough points, some points I really wanted to give up and go home.

Now that I’m at the end, however, I’m glad I stuck with it.

If I hadn’t, I would’ve missed out on so much.

I would’ve missed out on this experience of a lifetime.

Now, though my sights are set for home, I will look back and remember all the sunny days I spent in Chile, all the wonderful memories I made here and dream of the day I get to go back.

Tip #2: Long tunic Yeah, I’ll admit it. I’m a sucker for leggings, too. Who isn’t? But there is a simple way to take them from “I just woke up” to classy.

Wear a nice, long tunic over them with boots. It will cover your backside and look better than a T-shirt or sweatshirt. I’ve seen largecollared sweaters all over the place this season. Be the first to try the growing trend.

Tip #3: A hint of makeup As mentioned above, half of the battle is how you style yourself.

You don’t need to take more than a couple of minutes, but take a moment to freshen up and apply whatever it is that makes you feel ready for the day. Maybe that’s just washing your face in the morning, or maybe it’s a swipe of eyeliner.

ON STAYING WARM Tip #1: Double layer pants You may feel silly doing it, but trust me, this one is pure gold. Take a thin pair of leggings or tights and layer them underneath your jeans, sweats or pants.

So many pants aren’t made of heavy material, and it doesn’t take long for your legs to start to freeze.

They won’t be seen, and you’ll have an extra layer of warmth.

Tip #2: Pack the extras But will I really need it?

This is what I always ask myself when I’m questioning whether or not to bring a hat or scarf with me to class.

Please, just do it. You’ll thank yourself later.

Keep a few extra things in your backpack for the constantly shifting temperatures.

Neutral-colored accessories are good picks, because you can wear them with anything and everything in your wardrobe.
