New cases decline at IU By Matt Cohen mdc1@iu.edu | @Matt_Cohen_
IU’s COVID-19 dashboard reported a decrease in new cases and positivity rates for the third consecutive week in its Wednesday update. This week’s update included data from Sept. 2026. The overall mitigation testing positivity rate across all IU campuses was 1.3% last week. In Bloomington alone, that rate was 1.43%. Both are decreases compared to what the previous update reported. The highest single-week positivity rate in Bloomington was 7.26%, which PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY CARSON TERBUSH | IDS

We Rate Covid Dashboards, a group of Yale University professors and medical students that evaluates university COVID-19 dashboards, assessed IU’s about a week ago. It got a C+. “That’s a horrible dashboard,” said Howard Forman, professor of public health and director of Yale's health care management program, immediately after pulling up IU’s COVID-19 tracking website on his computer. “I mean, come on, they’re a big state university, why would they have such limited information? That’s disappointing.” Forman, who founded We Rate Covid Dashboards with a colleague, said the site grades dashboards based on nine categories, including if they are easy to read, updated daily, provide separate student and faculty data, state how often people are tested and give a summary of how the campus is handling the coronavirus. IU scored only five out of 13 possible points. While easy to read, the dashboard is not updated daily, does not include city or county data, does not state how soon tests come back and

does not give a summary of the campus status. Within the Big Ten, 11 of 14 schools scored a B — seven points — or higher, and IU had the worst score of all schools in the conference except Northwestern University. IU’s infrequent dash-
board updates aren’t due to a lack of COVID-19-related data points. The university just won’t release them to the public. Aaron Neal, associate vice president of enterprise systems at University Information Technology Services, oversees IU’s internal COVID-19 dashboards. Neal said his team built and maintains multiple internal dashboards to update public health experts on testing. This internal data, including multiple metrics not present on the publicfacing dashboard, flows into the internal ones as fast as Neal’s team can manage, often almost in real time as soon as COVID-19 test results are processed by Vault Health and other testing facilities. But IU’s public-facing dashboard is only updated once a week. While the dashboard was originally updated each Monday, IU announced Sept. 11 in an email it would move all future updates to Wednesdays to provide its public health experts more time to “analyze results and provide important context.” This means weekly data doesn’t reach public eyes until four days after the last day of testing included in it. Asked repeatedly by the
Indiana Daily Student, university officials have maintained a weekly COVID-19 update is the best way to present data to the public given IU’s mitigation testing of testing certain groups on a week-to-week basis. “We would like to really focus on giving a much more accurate and reliable picture with the context of a week-to-week, which is a better way of looking at this through the public eyes, but also as an institution,” IU spokesperson Chuck Carney said. Dr. Aaron Carroll, IU’s director of mitigation testing, agreed with Carney in a Sept. 16 webinar, adding daily data comes in “haphazardly,” not in regular batches. “We have almost all of them back by Monday evening, then we can look at them holistically, make analyses, discuss changes, we get everything together for Tuesday, it goes up Wednesday,” Carroll said in the webinar. “I know people want more, but more isn’t necessarily better.” Forman said IU’s claims that weekly updates are “more accurate” are untrue. “To say that I’m going to give you less information because you don’t know how to use it is to infantilize
people,” Forman said. “I think everybody has a right to be able to see the information.” Forman said daily fluctuations in data are evident in nearly every COVID-19 dashboard, including state and national ones. He said releasing seven-day rolling averages each day can compensate for day-to-day discrepancies while still providing more frequent updates. Carney said IU does not plan to release daily updates incorporating a seven-day rolling average. “To just simply throw numbers up every day is not necessarily going to be helpful,” Carney said. Despite IU’s C+ dashboard rating, Forman said the university’s mitigation testing strategy is a good public health approach. Forman co-authored a medical paper published in May with recommendations for communities like universities on how to monitor COVID-19, and he said IU’s response closely follows processes laid out in that paper. “From what I can glean, IU has a strategy that is based in good public health science, but the lack of SEE DASHBOARD, PAGE 4
Students share job experience at art bookstore By Haley Ryan haryan@iu.edu | @haley__ryan
A typical day at the Friends of Art bookstore used to start at 9 a.m. with set up, bagels and coffee before the first rush of students came in for their morning classes. But even with the coronavirus pandemic altering every aspect of student life, three students are still showing up to work. The Friends of Art Bookshop is described as a welcoming environment and a cornerstone to the fine arts community at IU by student employees. The Friends of Art Bookstore is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and is located on the second floor of the Fine Arts Building. Grace O'Brien, a junior studying theater, drama and East Asian languages and cultures, has been working at the Friends of Art Bookstore since she was a freshman. “I had never been there,” O’Brien said. “I never heard anything about it, but I just applied because, again, I loved art.” After stepping out of her first interview, O’Brien said she knew it was the place

in terms of what we do,” O’Brien said. “It's just the amount of people that we see that has changed a lot.” O’Brien has been a staff member since her freshman year due to the supportive and flexible work environment at the bookshop. She said during inperson classes, having the shop on campus made it convenient for her to run from classes to work. She also said management was willing to work around her class schedule which made balancing school and work easy. “I'd say that the people really make the environment of the bookstore one that I wanted to keep being involved with, because I mean I've met so many cool people just from working there,” O’Brien said. “I don't think I would have ever run into them if I hadn't been in that spot.” Daria Johnson, a sophomore studying comprehensive design and sociology, also has experienced the strong community and supportive environment of the Friends of Art Bookshop while working there.

IU President Michael McRobbie is recommending the removal of former IU President David Starr Jordan’s name from Jordan Hall, the Jordan Avenue parking garage and Bloomington’s Jordan River at the upcoming Board of Trustees meeting on Oct. 1 and 2, IU spokesperson Chuck Carney said. McRobbie will recommend the buildings and river be given placeholder names until new names are selected. Jordan Hall would be temporarily renamed the Biology Building, the Jordan Avenue parking garage would be temporarily renamed the East parking garage and the Jordan River would be temporarily renamed the Campus River, Carney said. Many people have objected to Jordan’s name on some of these buildings due to the former president’s involvement with eugenics, a movement encouraging the selective breeding of humans, Carney said. “It runs counter to the longstanding values and the core visions of IU,” Carney said.

Local multi-house fire under investigation By Lauren McLaughlin lrmclaug@iu.edu | @l_mclaughlin8
The Monroe Fire Protection District is still investigating a Sept. 21 house fire on South Wickens Street that caused damage to four other homes. Investigators have pointed to the air conditioning unit at 3533 S. Wickens St. as a possible cause for the start of the fire, according to a post from the MFPD Facebook page. Fire officials believe the fire spread from the original house at 3533 S. Wickens St. to two other nearby houses and damaged the siding on two others. The homes, while built to code, do not provide much fire protection to stop the spread from one house to another, the post said. Emergency services were not contacted until about 10 minutes after the fire started, according to wit-
nesses’ videos and photographs. Melissa Chestnut, a neighbor of the affected residents, told the IDS on Sept. 21 at the scene that she saw flames on the side of the first house near the air conditioning unit and meters. Investigators will look further into it, but new information about the air conditioner may not be found for months. The Indiana State Fire Marshal’s Office and private insurance companies are investigating in addition to members of the Monroe County Fire Investigator Task Force, according to the post.

IUSG election results released By David Wolfe Bender benderd@iu.edu | @dbenderpt
The IU Student Government Election Commission released the preliminary list of the 57 candidates who will be seated in the 2020-21 IUSG Congress. The elections were held last week. Two coalitions, ReviveIU and ReImagineIU, endorsed a large set of candidates, with ReviveIU endorsing more than 50 candidates and ReImagineIU supporting more than 30. ReviveIU-endorsed candidates won 23 of the seats, including quite a few of the residential seats. Those 23 seats make up just less than half of the total candidates the coalition endorsed for the election. ReImagineIU’s candidates had a very strong showing, specifically in seats open for those living off campus. Of its endorsed candidates, 17 won their elections, which is more than half of the candidates it endorsed. Together, the two coalitions’ picks make up all but 10 of the candidates who were seated in this year’s
IUSG Congress. IUSG announced on social media that voter participation quadrupled for this year’s congressional election. The election commission sent the results to the IUSG Supreme Court and it approved the election on Sunday. The Supreme Court also said there are no outstanding appeals before it or the election commission in the statement.

The Monroe County Public Library reopened Monday with limited in-building services. After being closed for about six months due to the coronavirus, people can browse the shelves for books once again. Patrons can now use computers, scanners, fax machines, copiers and printers in the building. They can choose books and pick up holds. Seating has been removed to encourage shorter visit times. “The big thing that is important for people to understand is that the social component of what people know and love about libraries is really what will be missing,” said Mandy Hussey, communications and marketing manager of the Monroe County Public Library. The first hour of each day will be reserved for high-risk customers because that's when the library is the cleanest, Hussey said. “Libraries are about being inclusive and we recognize that there is a significant portion of the population that we’d like to have come into the library that have different needs,” she said. All customers are asked to observe social distancing and masks will be required. Disposable masks are available for people who don’t have one.

IU CAPS sees an increasing demand By Brandon Barnes bbarnes1@iu.edu | @brandon_barnes_
Requests for mental health services administered through IU’s Counseling and Psychological Services are rising for students dealing with anxiety due amid the COVID-19 pandemic. “Our utilization is continuing to increase from week to week, which is pretty typical for the semester,” said Chris Meno, associate director of CAPS. Although the number of overall CAPS visits does not drastically differ from prior semesters, the reasons behind many of these visits are prompting new concerns. “What students are talking about is certainly different,” Meno said. “Some schools are feeling like there’s more severity in what people are talking about.” The overall increase in demand for mental health services can be attributed to the high levels of anxiety students are experiencing due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the lifestyle changes, said Kirk White, co-chair of the IU-Bloomington COVID Response Unit. “We’re trying our best to
keep up with all of that, but there certainly is a higher level of anxiety and manifestations that high levels of uncertainty bring,” White said. One noticeable stressor has been the COVID-19 mitigation tests, which will continue weekly for all students in Residential Programming Services housing for the remainder of the semester, White said. “The level of testing is causing students a lot of anxiety because they get tested and then they’ve got two days to wait and see if they test positive,” White said. “It’s raised this level of stress throughout the campus where all of our students are nervous about their results.” Despite these concerns, White said mitigation testing is not a form of punishment and allows the university to isolate outbreaks and keep students safe. The average wait time for a one-on-one session at CAPS, which is currently offering all virtual services, is approximately two to four business days, even with this increase in demand. Provost Lauren Robel exempted the IU Student Health Center from the campus hiring

There will also be a soft limit of one hour for indoor browsing, Hussey said. Throughout the past six months, the library has implemented new ways to operate during the COVID-19 pandemic. Materials are now quarantined for four days once they’ve been returned. Drive-up pickup will replace curbside pickup Monday. Curbside pickup was implemented at the beginning of the pandemic to allow people to check out books online, but it still required people to go inside the library. There is plexiglass put in place at the drive-up window and masks will be required for customers. Customers may also walk or bike to the drive-up window, Hussey said. People may also get a library card online, Hussey said. This gives people access to Kanopy, Hoopla and other online streaming platforms. “There’s all sorts of things they can do that are very fun and useful with their library card without even coming into the building,” Hussey said. The library got rid of late fees in March. Hussey said this is because fines can be a barrier for some people and the library wants to be more inclusive. Hussey said the primary purpose of being inside of the library right now should be to pick up books, browse the library materials and technology use.

freeze over the summer to ensure vacancies were filled, White said. For the future, Meno wants to hear student feedback and make sure appointments are readily available for new and returning patients. Although CAPS offers a variety of services, including free workshops via Zoom and the WellTrack app, the most important things students need to do is reach out to their support system when they’re struggling and check in on those around them, Meno said. “We need to reach out to our friends, even if we think they’re probably okay,” Meno said.
Other positive mental health practices include setting a routine, keeping up with physical health and taking breaks from the news and social media, Meno said. New CAPS patients can schedule their first appointment online and all other appointments can be made by calling the CAPS office. Additionally, private spaces equipped with computers are available at the Student Health Center for students in Bloomington who otherwise may not have access. For urgent mental health support, call the 24/7 CAPS mental health crisis line at (812) 855-5711 and choose option one.

Students respond to David Starr Jordan name removal By Helen Rummel hrummel@iu.edu | @helenrummel
When IU senior Sam Reitenour learned David Starr Jordan’s name would be removed from campus last week, his first feeling was one of relief, and then disappointment. David Starr Jordan, president of Indiana University from 1884–1891, had a role as a prominent eugenicist following his career at IU. IU President Michael McRobbie recommended Sept. 24 to remove Jordan’s name from campus, including from Jordan River and Jordan Hall, IU spokesperson Chuck Carney said. Reitenour said he was grateful to see the name finally stripped from campus but expressed disappointment that decades had passed before action was taken from the administration. Even two years ago, Reitenour said he did not understand how the name remained. “I looked him up and I was just flabbergasted that someone of that reputation could possibly still have their name plastered not only on campus buildings, but the river and a street in Bloomington,” Reitenour said. “His name is everywhere.” Ky Freeman, president of IU’s Black Student Union and IU senior, said his organization put forward a list of names to replace Jordan in June to John Applegate, executive vice president for University Academic Affairs. There was no response from the IU administration to BSU’s proposal at the time. A petition was created over the summer in collaboration with Megan Chapman, an IU Maurer School of Law student, to engage the student body in a name change. The petition received more than 4,000 signatures. “We did stuff behind the scenes to try to get names

in there and that didn’t happen,” Freeman said. “So of course I’m sitting up here and I’m pissed.” Freeman said he is happy to see Jordan's name taken down but is not optimistic the university will choose a name before he graduates. Regardless, BSU will continue to push multiple names to replace Jordan’s. A top contender, according to BSU’s proposal, for the new name of the Biology building is Ezra Dee Alexander, a Bloomington native and a founder of the Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Incorporated. Alexander received
his Doctor of Medicine from IU in 1919 after attending the university for his undergraduate degree. BSU is pushing for Campus River to be named in honor of the Potawatomi, Miami or Delaware people. Freeman hopes the name could honor the history of Indigenous people he believes do not receive adequate attention. “This is the land in which this institution is built on and still barely gets any credit,” Freeman said. Following McRobbie’s decision, IU Student Body President Rachel Aranyi pro-
posed Thomas Atkin’s name as a replacement title. Atkins was IU’s first African American student body president. She said she hopes students can play a part in the renaming decision as well. “We would love for students to be represented in the renaming process in a formal capacity,” Aranyi said. Reitenour said he is ashamed IU promoted Jordan's legacy before others he finds more deserving, but he thinks the renaming is an opportunity to right that. “The way that a student becomes acquainted with
the famous graduates of that university is by the campus naming things after them,” Reitenour said. “For all these years, they’ve chosen to give a platform to David Starr Jordan over anyone else.” Many readers have shared their ideas with the IDS for a new name. These include former athletics director J. Terry Clapacs and former Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg for Campus River and former botany professor Ralph Cleland for the biology building. Of those suggested, sev-
IUDM raises $493,564.23 on virtual fundraising day By Christina Avery averycm@iu.edu
IU Dance Marathon’s Day of Hope was held virtually this year from midnight Sept. 24 to midnight Sept. 25. Participants raised $493,564.23 this year, all through donations and funds raised by committee members, greek life dancers and other student participants. “Day of Hope is the biggest fundraising day for all of IUDM,” said Liam Moore, a junior on the IUDM Morale committee. “Think of it like the Super Bowl, while the marathon itself is the postgame celebration.” Day of Hope, which started in 2016, serves as a way for students and committee members to raise money for Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis and get excited about the dance marathon in November. Senior Ella Garrison, fundraising chair for the Hospital Relations committee, said one aspect of the “hype” is that Day of Hope is inclusive of everyone. “It’s really just a really hype day for us to get ready for the marathon, and it’s really fun because even dancers and greek life, freshmen, and other clubs participate in it,” she said. “It’s not just committees.” While Day of Hope is normally held all day in person around campus, because of
the coronavirus it was forced to go online this year. Zoom calls and livestreams replaced physical group meetings and celebration, and some of the major aspects were changed to work for an online environment. The “Hype Room,” Alumni Hall in the Indiana Memorial Union, is typically the hub for Day of Hope activities. Olivia Hempleman, a senior on the Special Events committee, said when people walked into the room in previous years, they would “explode with happiness.” Committee members found new ways to work toward their fundraising goals. “Our committee has had Zoom meetings throughout the day, and we’ve done little trivia games and little dollar games just to kind of build our culture throughout the day,” Garrison said. Hempleman said while people weren’t together, it still felt connected. “It was very split up, but it was honestly so united and super awesome because we still all were able to come together,” she said. One of the biggest and most symbolic parts of Day of Hope is the bell ringing. Normally, for each $100 raised during the event, the fundraiser would go up on stage in the Hype Room and ring a bell, reminiscent of the bell cancer patients ring after they finish treatment.

“We encouraged people to send in videos of them ringing either a bell at home or just making noise in the Zoom call,” Garrison said. “We had a bell graphic today
to kind of represent that part of the marathon, and it was filled with little small donations, so once you got one of those donations you got to check it off the bell.” Social media played a large role in Day of Hope as well. IUDM posted hourly challenges on Instagram periodically throughout the day, such as the “Early Bird Challenge,” where every donation received between 7 a.m.-8 a.m. entered the donor into a raffle to win a bowling shirt, and the “Family Hour Challenge,” which encouraged people to reach out to relatives for donations. There was also “Alumni Hour,” sponsored by the IUDM Alumni 30th Anniversary Planning Committee. The committee matched all donations made

by alumni during this hour, up to a total of $6,500. Livestreams were hosted along with scavenger hunts that could be done virtually or individually. IUDM posted updates and a “Dine and Donate” schedule on its Instagram story, and student posts and advertisements pertaining to Day of Hope were shared. IUDM’s 2020 motto is “Built by Legacy, Uniting for Purpose.” Despite not having the opportunity to have an in-person experience, Moore said the lack of human interaction was the only real difference he felt from years past, and that the relationships and sense of community helped keep members going. “Whether it be Zoom or in person with masks, we’re still the same enthusiastic and energetic goofballs dedicated to making a difference,” he said. Hempleman said Day of Hope was not only a motivation to raise money, but also a way to show the effect participating can have. “It made me really aware that there are people who come into this world and aren’t super healthy, and it kind of just makes you realize how privileged you actually are,” she said. “It’s like, I have the privilege to be healthy, so you also have to help others who didn’t get the privilege or the right, you know?”
eral such as Martha Bernal, IU alumna and the first Latina to receive a Ph.D. of psychology, and Douglas Bauder, former LGBTQ+ Culture Center director, represent minority communities. “I think that’s the least they could do honestly,” Reitenour said. “If you have had this name of someone who has contributed to such great racism up on this building for the longest time, I think the least that they can do is to name it after somebody who would have been a victim of his line of thought.“

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 transparency makes it hard for me to know if it’s working or not and how effective it is,” Forman said. Forman said if IU released data more frequently, not only would people living on and around campus be able to understand the health risks of the area where they live, but other universities could learn from IU. “I think everybody deserves to know and it also helps other institutions,” Forman said. “It would be nice if IU shared that information so that other places could say, ‘Hey look, it’s working here, let’s model ourselves after them.’” Forman said since We Rate Covid Dashboards was created, several institutions that initially received low ratings have improved their dashboards. “If you agitate for change and you believe in something enough, people are going to respond to it,” Forman said. In his weekly webinars, Carroll has frequently mentioned a goal of eventually testing students, staff and faculty one to two times every week after three new IU labs are added in October, allowing coronavirus tests to be processed locally. This would increase IU’s average weekly mitigation test load from around 10,000 tests per week to at least 40,000. Testing every student at least once a week would provide a much more comprehensive picture of the state of COVID-19 at IU. Despite this, Carney said IU does not plan to update the dashboard more frequently even if Carroll’s goal is met. Forman said he understands why IU would not want to release daily data because a spike in cases or other negative developments in the university’s COVID-19 situation could result in negative publicity. “You want to be able to put fires out before anybody notices that there was a fire,” Forman said. “It doesn’t make them bad people to respond that way, but it’s why we have our Twitter, it’s why we have our website: We’re trying to shine light on this.”

remain on quarantine. Additionally, some houses have had large numbers of students leave to comply with Monroe County’s policies on total capacity in communal living, which is capped at 75%. Greek students living out of the houses had a 5.3% positivity rate last week of 263 tests, which is a slight increase from 4.9% the week prior. All other off-campus students had a 0.8% positivity rate last week. Dorm residents — which received the largest percentage of
the total tests last week — had a 1.5% positivity rate, which is down from 2.2% the week prior. IU also reported a 0.3% positivity rate among staff and faculty last week. Symptomatic positivity rates had another sharp decrease, with a 19.67% positivity rate in Bloomington last week. That’s down from 28.35% the week prior and 41.65% the week before that. IU-Bloomington’s quarantine and isolation facilities are at 14% capacity. That is after the capacity remained at 21% for the two
previous weeks. IU calculated a 0.9% COVID-19 prevalence rate in Bloomington, which is a decrease from last week’s dashboard update, too. According to the weekly briefing on the dashboard, students should expect an increase in mitigation testing with flu season and colder weather. Dr. Aaron Carroll, IU’s director of mitigation testing, has said for more than a month he plans to test every student one to two times per week once IU’s own labs open, which is expected to happen mid-October.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 the COVID-19 pandemic , Johnson typically assisted customers during morning rush periods and set up the shop. “This bookshop specifically is kind of like a heart piece to the fine arts program and the building. Because we’re actually involved with the major, you
know people who are in our school, you know some of the students that come, it’s kind of like a family,” Johnson said. Johnson has been working for the bookshop for a year as a part of IU’s workstudy program and described the shop as “aesthetically eclectic” due to the range of items and styles in the shop. Ashley Less, a senior in
the environmental and sustainability studies program, has also experienced changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic while working at the bookshop. “It's always something you think about, because you are in a public setting, but I feel like we do a pretty good job at keeping on top of cleaning things and always wearing masks,” Less said. Less began working
at the bookshop and has been for two years now after wanting to stay involved with the fine arts community on campus. “I personally really enjoy art, but it's not my major so I felt like it was a good kind of way for me to keep in that community and mindset and still be around the fine arts,” Less said. “I also really enjoy books, so I felt it was a perfect fit.”
Less said the variety and authenticity of products sold at the Friends of Art Bookshop combined with the relaxing atmosphere sets the bookshop apart from other stores on campus. “A lot of the things there have a lot of heart put into them,” Less said about the artwork. “They’re from people who really love their work. It's a very authentic, personal environment.”

SARAH’S SIDE
Bloomington’s Kirkwood Avenue should stay car-free Sarah Waters (she/her) is a freshman pre-law student in law and public policy.
Kirkwood Avenue, the epicenter of IU’s off-campus student life, has been closed to cars from Thursday to Sunday since June, and the Bloomington City Council recently voted to continue these closures through December. Closing Kirkwood to cars on the weekends to make space for expanded outdoor dining has made the street more pedestrianfriendly, conducive to social distancing requirements, economically vibrant and environmentally sustainable. Reopening Kirkwood on weekdays does away with the safer and more pleasant Kirkwood that Bloomington residents get to experience on the weekends. Bloomington should keep Kirkwood closed to cars to preserve the safest, healthiest and most environmentally friendly Kirkwood possible. Other cities have repeatedly demonstrated the myriad economic, environmental and health benefits of car-free streets. All Bloomington has to do is make these already popular changes permanent. The most pertinent benefit of Kirkwood’s closures on the weekend is that it allows pedestrians and outdoor diners to maintain a greater social distance,
keeping Bloomington safe and decreasing the risk of the spread of COVID-19. Reopening Kirkwood to cars pushes pedestrians to crowd together on sidewalks, and the lack of outdoor seating on weekdays forces diners indoors. Eating inside restaurants has been repeatedly demonstrated to be one of the most dangerous activities someone can do during the pandemic. Closing Kirkwood to cars permanently would allow Bloomington to join the growing cohort of cities embracing car-free streets as a way to make their streets safer, more accessible and more environmentally friendly. Even megacities like New York have closed streets to decrease congestion, promote pedestrian safety and reinvigorate modes of public transportation. The case of 14th Street, which is now a vibrant hub of pedestrian life, provides a valuable example in the quest to make our cities less transportation-heavy. What used to be another congested street in New York City is now known as a “speedway” for buses and pedestrians, improving Manhattan’s public transportation and pedestrian safety. Instead of disrupting traffic, the street’s closure has caused an increase in bus ridership, a decrease in
travel times and has made buses more likely to be on time. Since fewer vehicles are present, the street is now a safer environment for pedestrians. Although some car owners are quick to complain about increased congestion in the city, adjacent streets are no more congested now than they were in years past. As a result of New York City’s bold decision, Manhattan is now more accessible to the majority of residents that do not own a car and is more environmentally sustainable. The conversion of 14th Street from a gridlock of cars to a thriving hub of pedestrians, cyclists and public transportation has made residents happier, according to a Bloomberg article from 2019. The success in New York City convinced San Francisco residents that Market Street, one of their busiest hubs, should be more pedestrian-friendly. Just a few months after Market Street closed to cars, ridership on public transportation increased by 24% on weekdays and 30% on the weekends. Bus trips were 10 minutes shorter on average than before the street’s closure. Promoting public transportation, as New York City and San Francisco have done, is one of the most effective ways cities can pro-

mote sustainability. Carrying many passengers on a single vehicle — as public buses and trains do — reduces tailpipe emissions and helps passengers lower their individual carbon footprints. This will also decrease smog and improve local air quality. Citing economic and sustainability benefits, fellow college towns like Charlottesville, Virginia, and Boulder, Colorado, have copied this move. Charlottesville’s downtown is now centered on eight blocks of car-free streets, which draws more pedestrians to local stores, restaurants and bars.
Pearl Street, Kirkwood’s equivalent at the University of Colorado Boulder, has been closed to cars since the 1970s. Rather than depriving local businesses, the street’s closure brought Boulder back from an economic brink. The street has turned into the cultural center of the city. Keeping Kirkwood a pedestrian-friendly street all the time will make Bloomington a more enjoyable place to live — one that prioritizes residents and their health, economic resilience and the local environment over cars, traffic and congestion. Long after the pandem-
ic is over, the sustainability and economic benefits of keeping Kirkwood a pedestrian and public transportation hub will persist. Bloomington has a choice to make: We can continue to be on the forefront of urban design and expand this bold, progressive policy, or we can say goodbye to the more sustainable, safe Kirkwood that so many of us have come to love over these past few months. The city council has already extended the closures through December. The right choice is to make the policy permanent. watersar@iu.edu

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
D.J. Fox, right, holds a sign encouraging people to complete the 2020 census and waves to passersby Sept. 4, in Des Moines, Iowa.
RAMA’S TAKES
Trump tried, failed to gerrymander districts to disenfranchise voters Rama Sardar (she/her) is a freshman in media.
U.S District Court Judge Lucy Koh in California ruled Saturday the 2020 census will continue through October and rejected the Trump administration’s attempts to cut the response deadline of the census one month early. This will ensure the headcount, which will affect residents for the next 10 years, will be accurate. Koh said the Trump administration’s attempt to shorten the response timeline for the census would have produced inaccuracies in the headcount and negatively affected communities for the next decade. Additionally, they failed to provide any sensible reason for wanting to rush the census. The U.S. census, which takes place every 10 years, helps communities get funding for important and necessary services. It’s also used to allocate seats for the U.S. House of Representatives. To put it in straightforward terms, the actions of the Trump administration were a blatant attempt to disenfranchise already underrepresented communities of color. Although the official announcement to cut the response timeline short came from the U.S. Census Bureau, the internal watchdog for the Commerce Department reported the decision to shorten the response deadline was not made by them. This led some officials to believe the White House was directly responsible for the decision. This theory would not be out of the ordinary since President Donald Trump has previously tried to sup-
press the political representation of vulnerable communities. On Sept. 10, the Trump administration’s order to prevent undocumented immigrants from being included in the census was blocked by a federal court. Additionally, the National Urban League sued the Trump administration for rushing the census timeline, accusing them of attempting to alter the U.S. House of Representatives for their own benefit. Pushing the census response deadline up one month may not seem like a big deal to some Americans, but it is a major problem for already underrepresented communities. For example, Native Americans were the most underrepresented population in the 2010 census and would have been severely affected by this decision. People in tribal communities largely depend on census takers to conduct “nonresponse follow-ups,” but because of the COVID-19 pandemic, nonresponse follow-ups have been delayed, and workers are relying on the census being extended to conduct these important in-person interviews. The need for in-person follow-ups is primarily because census takers have difficulty reaching some communities through the internet, by mail or by phone. Because census data is used to create congressional districts, the fewer minorities or underrepresented individuals counted in an area equates to less congressional representation for these groups. The Trump administration’s attempts to cut the
response timeline short was outright unconstitutional and illegal. By knowingly trying to not include millions of individuals who are in minority communities from the census, Republicans were blatantly attempting to rig elections in their favor for the next decade. Additionally, Trump admitted he would refuse to accept the results of the 2020 election if he loses, suggesting officials should “get rid of the ballots.” While some may not take the president’s statements seriously, it is important to note this is not the first time Trump has vowed to disrespect the American election system that has been in place for centuries. During his first speech at the Republican National Convention, Trump encouraged his crowd to chant “12 more years,” insinuating he should be allowed to serve longer than the allotted two terms. His remarks do not sit well with me, as the U.S. is edging closer to an authoritarian government than it ever has. The decision to keep the census extended through October will ensure an accurate headcount of all residents in the U.S. Although the pandemic delayed much of the census operations and prevented residents from responding to the census, one can only hope this extension will do justice to all of our communities. As an IndianAmerican, I am proud to say another one of the Trump administration’s attempts to sideline communities of color did not succeed. rasardar@iu.edu
Since its inception and arguably to this day, the Kelley School of Business has been an exclusively white, male space. It feels like the public only knows a fraction of what goes on in Kelley’s underbelly. Are controversies within the business school indicative of a larger issue, or are these situations not representative of the entire school? As a Black student, multiple professors’ discriminatory comments tells me diversity is only important when it directly benefits those already in power. They are a detriment to administrators’ efforts to recruit underrepresented groups. Their comments establish Kelley as inhospitable and unwelcoming to minority students. These professors are not outliers in their school. They pose a problem with Kelley that needs to be addressed to create more empathetic graduates from the school. IU made national news a year ago when one of its professors, Eric Rasmusen, tweeted an article detailing why women are not suited for academia. Other professors within the business school have made similarly insensitive comments. “Here’s how to make money on racism in the U.S.: buy property next to a black person,” Professor Charles Trzcinka tweeted in June during the historic Black Lives Matter protests. “In Bloomington, I bought next to a black family, she’s a doctor, he was an IU football coach. The market discount was about 10-15%. As society becomes less racist your property values rise.” Trzcinka also tweeted about Bloomington BLM members spray-painting the mural in People’s Park. He said the vandalism was arrogant and intolerant, in the now-deleted tweet. Trzcinka had the audacity to claim the Black Lives Matter movement is arrogant. It’s preposterous someone can genuinely think this about a movement centered around justice for an overpoliced population. “It felt like a gut punch,” Jordan Davis, who was the vice president of outreach for the Kelley student gov-
ernment, told the Indiana Daily Student in June. Davis wasn’t surprised, though, she said. I am not a Kelley student, but as a Black woman, my heart would break if I heard an instructor in my school express those views. Other professors have made comments voicing their critiques on affirmative action and the existence of the talent pool of underrepresented minorities. Despite the business school making great strides in recruiting minority students — something the administration should take great pride in — their administration’s efforts are somewhat sullied by some professors’ public disapproval of affirmative action. “Google’s business is serving its constituency, its target markets,” Benjamin Schultz, a senior lecturer at Kelley, said in a February letter to the editor. “If they were forced to hire based on ethnic and cultural criteria, then their employment base would have a desirable diversity, but would they still be able to deliver the same level of shareholder value to their stockholders?” While not overtly racist, Schultz’s letter highlights the issues with the culture at Kelley. It is worrisome that our future business professionals are being taught to think about diversity in such a callous, self-serving way. Rasmusen’s thinly veiled misogynistic comments were justified with faux intellectualism, claiming women are not predisposed to being geniuses like men are. However, the outrage in response to Rasmusen’s egregious sexist remarks did not match the outrage about his racist remarks he made shortly after the controversy sparked. “The whole idea of affirmative action is that too few black students (would) get in without racial preferences, so we need to lower the standard for them and accept that they will do worse academically,” Rasmusen said in 2019. Perhaps it was easy to advocate for women, particularly white women, because the marginalized group in this case is a majority. This reaction could be due to timeliness, but it is important to consider how stu-
dents and faculty handled previous situations of professors saying questionable things Idie Kesner, dean of the Kelley School of Business, wrote a heartfelt blog post urging people not to judge the school based on the actions of one faculty member. I agree with the assertion that not all Kelley professors hold these same views. However, it is also important to note it is not just one faculty member. It is not enough to simply avoid racism in our present circumstances. You have to be anti-racist. I want the business school to be better, and it seems like they are making powerful strides in the right direction. After Rasmusen’s comment, the Women in Business club initiated a campaign to combat his views. They began selling “Female Genius” sweatshirts so people can show support for women in business. I am proud the business school is taking a strong stance against misogyny. It sets a precedent for future empathetic classes of business students, and I hope this momentum is kept through the following years. In the future, I hope to see the school and its students advocate for more difficult issues. Despite lingering systemic sexism in our country, Rasmusen’s overtly misogynist comments are not often seen anymore. It is easy to denounce them. It is harder, however, to denounce his comments about affirmative action, something that has been debated for years. His comments — while using a political buzzword — were racist, and it is the job of the majority to protect underrepresented minorities he targeted with his comments. Advocacy is not always easy. It takes personal effort, as well as dismantling personal biases and structural barriers. It is easy to advocate for a cause you have a personal investment in, but it is important to protest injustices that do not benefit you. Don’t ask what racism can do for you, as Trzcinka did, ask what you can do to stop it. daelmoor@iu.edu

Marcelino Ball suffers torn ACL, out for season By Evan Gerike egerike@iu.edu | @EvanGerike
IU football defensive back Marcelino Ball will likely be out for the season after tearing his ACL with a typical recovery time of four to six months. Ball, a redshirt senior out of Roswell, Georgia, was expected to start for IU at husky, a hybrid linebackersafety position. Ball totaled 47 tackles and two sacks in 13 games
for IU last season. He was third on the team in tackles in 2018 with 59 on his way to an All-Big Ten honorable mention. In 2016, he finished third on the team with 75 tackles in 12 starts and earned an AllBig Ten honorable mention and was named to the Big Ten All-Freshman team. Ball started the first three games of the season in 2017 before he suffered an injury and received a medical redshirt.
IU looks to depth chart for support in 2020 season By Evan Gerike egerike@iu.edu | @EvanGerike
The IU football depth chart is going to be put to the test early and often in the 2020 season. With redshirt senior Marcelino Ball out for the season after tearing his ACL, head coach Tom Allen said in a press conference Monday the team will have to look for others to step up on the defensive side of the ball, both in their play and as leaders. Allen said junior Bryant Fitzgerald will likely be the starter at husky this season for the Hoosiers, replacing Ball. Sophomore D.K. Bonhomme and junior Jamar Johnson will be taking reps in practice to prepare for
games as well. IU will also have to face the potential of a coronavirus outbreak in a pandemicshortened season. Allen said the team has discussed how they’d react if players or coaches tested positive and were ruled out. “You’re hoping that the rapid daily testing would eliminate that from happening as much,” Allen said. “We’ll find out once we start playing the season what the numbers look like.” IU Athletics has administered 1,200 daily rapid coronavirus tests so far and has had one positive test, which wasn’t a player or full-time staff member. With different eligibility rules this season, Allen said

the roster has opened up for younger players who would normally be redshirted to get some opportunities. In a typical year, they would have a list of guys who are limited to four games in order to be redshirted, but they don’t have to worry about that this season since the NCAA approved a blanket waiver allowing all 2020 fall sports athletes to retain a year of eligibility. Allen said he also expects sophomore Tiawan Mullen to step up for the team after a freshman season that got
him named as an All-Big Ten honorable mention. The team has been doing 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills in practice, all with no contact and only helmets. Allen said they will start full-contact practice with pads Wednesday as they work toward the first week of the season. IU starts against No. 10 Penn State, so it will have to be ready off the bat, but it has experience opening the season against a highlyranked Big Ten opponent after playing No. 2 Ohio State to begin the 2017 season. The
Hoosiers lost to the Buckeyes 49-21 in the opener of Allen’s first full season as head coach. “There’s no ramping up on your schedule this year,” Allen said. After watching the first few weeks of games in other conferences, Allen said he’d point to special teams as one of the main areas he thinks IU needs to be ready for. IU has had special teams meetings every morning, showing clips from games that were played the previous weekend. Building toward offense
on game day has been steady, with redshirt sophomore quarterback Michael Penix Jr. coming back from injury and Nick Sheridan taking over as offensive coordinator. Allen said the team has been able to make up for lost time over the last several weeks through drills and live reps after not being able to work over the summer. “Every year it’s a different group,” Allen said. “Even though we got a lot of guys back, it’s still never going to be the exact same as it was the year before.”

anesa Quiroga strutted down Kirkwood Avenue in her purple quinceañera gown. It had been eight years since she wore the fluffy birthday dress for a crowd, which had been tucked away in the back of a closet. Quiroga, a 2020 IU graduate, and eight women modeled their quinceañera gowns around noon Saturday for the Fiesta de Otoño, a community event organized annually for National Latinx Heritage Month by the City of Bloomington community and family resources department. IU senior Jocelyn Euceda worked with Josefa Luce, Latino programs coordinator at the City of Bloomington, to put together this event. Euceda said Fiesta de Otoño provides information about different Latinx organizations in Bloomington and Latinx culture to celebrate the community’s presence in Bloomington. “That’s just the first step, you know?” Euceda said in an interview. “Opening someone’s mind.” Luce and the planning committee chose a quinceañera theme for this year’s Fiesta de Otoño, meaning fall festival in Spanish, to match the 15-year anniversary of the event. Quinceañeras are a birthday tradition and a rite of passage traditionally celebrated by Latin American and Latina girls for their 15th birthdays in the U.S. and Latin American countries. Contemporary quinceañeras involve DJs, event planners and makeup artists, according to the New York Times. Backstage, Quiroga and the quinceañera models reminisced on their own 15th birthday celebrations. One girl wrapped her hair around a hot curling iron. Quiroga said she couldn’t sleep before her quinceañera. It was a big deal. The Fiesta de Otoño took place on Kirkwood Avenue between Lincoln Street and Grant Street, a section set to stay closed for pedestrians through December to allow for socially distanced seating during the coronavirus pandemic. Audience members had to RSVP to the Fiesta de Otoño to allow for proper social distancing, and were required to wear masks. The festival started at 10 a.m. Pedestrians circled around the block to hear the Mariachi Perla del Medio Oeste perform around 11:30 a.m. Euceda, a social work major, said this is the second Fiesta de Otoño she has helped plan. She remembered her older sister’s quinceañera, for which they traveled to Puebla, Mexico, from Indianapolis to celebrate. The event brought together Euceda’s family members from across the U.S. and Mexico. Similarly, the Fiesta de Otoño’s

quinceañera brought together Latinx people in Bloomington. “Just seeing everyone show out like that meant a lot,” Euceda said about her sister’s quinceañera. Before this event, Quiroga said she never thought she would wear her birthday gown again. It’s like a wedding dress, she said — a gown
so special, it’s only worn once. “You associate it to one memory and one memory only,” Quiroga said about wedding and quinceañera dresses. Quiroga remembered giving a speech in memory of her deceased grandma during a mass before her quinceañera’s recep-

tion, and burning her fingers while handmaking capias, or pin-ons, for the event with her mom. Quinceañeras are a meaningful event, where traditions are preserved and adapted to suit contemporary times. Quiroga said It’s important for
people in Bloomington, a predominantly white town, to attend culturally diverse events such as these to understand people are empowered by their differences. “They’re not here to set us apart,” Quiroga said. “They’re here for us to learn from one another.”

Pili’s Party Taco truck expands Mexican food scene By Celeste Ovelton covelton@iu.edu
When Maria “Pili” Del Pilar Gonzalez moved to Bloomington 17 years ago, she missed Mexican cuisine from her home of Puebla, Mexico. To expand the Mexican food scene in Bloomington, Gonzalez opened Pili’s Party Taco food truck in 2017 and a Mexican store this January. Now, she has more than 20 years of food service experience. Her businesses give her the opportunity to share her culture through her culinary skills, Gonzalez said. “My dream was to bring a little bit of where we are from, where I am from, the poblano food to bring to the people,” Gonzalez said. Gonzalez first began making tacos in her home to sell on the weekends. By the time she opened the truck in 2017, she had already gained a customer base and a good reputation among students and community members. As her home business grew, she said she realized she needed a long-term plan. “I started to plan,” Gonzalez said. “I said that I won’t take out the food truck if no one recognizes my product, it would cost a lot more work for my business to grow.” The food truck features food from Puebla-specific cuisine, such as tacos árabes, chiles ahogadas, chalupas and gringas. The truck also offers vegetarian and vegan options. Pili welcomes her custom-

ers with excitement for what they will try. “Welcome! What would you like today?” Gonzalez asked a visiting student. “I’m not exactly sure,” he said, “What do you recommend?” “Oh! Anything on the menu,” she said. “If you like beef, you can try a taco con carne asada.” Gonzalez later said she recommends people start with the common foods such as the aforementioned entree, before attempting the lesser

common choices found in America. She feels fulfilled when a customer eats their whole meal and licks their fingers, too. “For an American to order tacos and say that they like them, this makes me feel like we’re doing something good,” she said. The recently opened store, Pili’s Party Taco and Deli, complements the food truck and has thrived throughout the coronavirus pandemic, Gonzalez said. The store sells ingredients used in the food

sold at the food truck, and customers can order and dine in the store. The truck parked in front of the building is used as a kitchen where customers can see their food prepared fresh. “Eventually, my co-workers came and asked me, ‘Hey Pili, sell me a packet of tortillas.’ ‘Hey Pili, sell me a mayonnaise.’ ‘Hey Pili, sell me this’ and things like that,” Gonzalez said. “Wouldn’t it be best to just open up a store?” Gonzalez hopes to open
more stores and restaurants to form a corporation in different cities. “I only want to leave a footprint. I mainly want to leave something here,” Gonzalez said. “I like the job and I love talking with people.” A customer stopping by on his lunch break said getting lunch from Pili’s is the highlight of his day. As a business owner, a mother and Latin American immigrant, Gonzalez has made numerous sacrifices and overcome large chal-
lenges from immigration to running a budding business during a pandemic. Gonzalez said being Latina means being strong and making sacrifices in pursuit of a dream. “Do what you love because that will lead you to your victory,” she said. “You’ll learn, you’ll trip, you’ll fall, you’ll win, you’ll lose, but you’ll reach where you have to be.” *Editor’s note: The interview with Gonzalez was conducted in Spanish and then translated to English.*

ZACH’S RANTS
Despite its potential, ‘Enola Holmes’ wasn’t the best Zach Hsu is a sophomore studying media.
I used to be really into Sherlock Holmes. It began with the BBC show starring Benedict Cumberbatch, and would later evolve into reading most of the stories. They were really fun when I was 15 years old. So hearing about “Enola Holmes” had me somewhat interested. While I left the Sherlock phase of my life a few years ago, I still had fond memories of the stories and was open to seeing something new. While I’m generally not very into spinoffs, I thought this one had some potential. I’m not sure if I was right to have faith, though. “Enola Holmes” is the story of Sherlock’s younger
sister Enola, played by Millie Bobby Brown, and her search for her mother who has gone missing. While on her quest, she meets a dashing young marquess who is having some problems of his own, so she has to help out there too. It has all the makings of an enjoyable mystery. If only it were good. My favorite part of “Enola Holmes” was probably the mystery. While a lot of it doesn’t make sense, it was enjoyable to follow how wild it got. There are some fun situations for the characters to work their way out of, and I did enjoy watching some of those parts. Just don’t think about the movie once it’s over, because a lot of it falls apart. The problem is I can’t think of anything else I really liked.
MOVIE STILLS DATABASE
Henry Cavill, Millie Bobby Brown and Sam Claflin star in Netflix’s “Enola Holmes.”
The performances aren’t necessarily bad, but none of them are particularly strong either. I’m pretty sure I liked Brown when I watched “Stranger Things,” but lately I’ve begun to wonder if I was
wrong. Between this and “Godzilla: King of the Monsters,” I just keep seeing her and thinking she’s not all that good. But at the very least, her casting was alright, unlike
even a little annoying. A lot of the time, it wasn’t anything worth mentioning and sometimes it would’ve been better if it was just flat-out removed. But the biggest crime of the film is how boring it is — because it is really boring. For some reason the movie is more than two hours long, and I felt it. And it really doesn’t need all that time. Honestly, you could remove the fourth wall breaks and make it a lot easier to get through. All in all, I just didn’t like “Enola Holmes.” Despite some potential, I had trouble really getting into it. I can still imagine others liking it though, and if you’re still interested you can take a look on Netflix.
in the case of Henry Cavill. I really don’t understand why he was cast as Sherlock Holmes. I know it’s hard to follow Robert Downey Jr. and Benedict Cumberbatch, two great actors who put their own unique spins on the role, but I feel like Cavill could have at least done something remarkable. I just didn’t get anything from him, and I don’t know if I’ll even remember him playing Holmes. The entire movie has basically one stylistic choice, and it’s used very poorly. Every once in a while, Enola will look at the camera and say some miscellaneous piece of information, generally related to a new development in the case. While I like that it tried to do something interesting, it always felt kind of distracting and
