Jordan Hall is named after former IU President David Starr Jordan, a supporter of eugenics and forced sterilization for what he and others considered the “degenerate stock." IU President Michael McRobbie announced earlier this month that all named buildings and structures on IU campuses would have their names reviewed in light of the international movement to remove racist statues and symbols.
IU reviews Jordan's name on campus By Wei Wang daviwang@iu.edu | @DavidWazman
On June 12, 76 faculty members and researchers at the IU biology department sent a letter to President Michael McRobbie and other IU administrators calling for Jordan Hall to be renamed. This letter comes amid an international movement to remove racist statues and symbols after the killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer caused word-wide protests against police brutality and racism. “David Starr Jordan was a vociferous and avowed eugenicist who espoused racist views of non-white people,” the letter reads. “How are we to practice and promote inclusion at IU when symbols of those that once promoted exclusionist ideals remain in plain sight?” Jordan was an ichthyologist and the seventh president of IU, serving between 1884 and 1891, after which he served as the inaugural president of Stanford University from 1891 to 1913. At IU, he was the president who reformed the university’s curricula by switching from classical education to modern-day curricular majors and electives. Early Stanford students found their first president memorable for being able to remember each student’s name even after they graduated, according to an article in the January/February 2010 issue of Stanford Magazine. Jane Stanford, co-founder of Stanford University, wrote fondly of Jordan. “He has been the loyal, true friend through the past dark years of sorrow and
anxiety,” she wrote to Jordan’s wife in 1899, according to the article. However, Jordan was also a lifelong supporter of eugenics, the racist pseudoscience of improving the human population through selective breeding to magnify certain “desirable” traits using practices such as forced sterilization. He chaired the first Committee on Eugenics of the American Breeder’s Association and was a founding trustee of the Human Betterment Foundation, both of which promoted forced sterilization of the “degenerate stock,” who were often women, people of color, people with mental health issues, disabilities and diseases and criminals. Forced sterilization was a reality in the U.S. for decades. A total of 70,000 Americans were forcibly sterilized in the 20th century. Indiana’s 1907 Eugenics Law was the first of its kind in the U.S. and authorized a forced sterilization program in state institutions targeting “confirmed criminals, idiots, imbeciles and rapists," according to the Indiana State Government website. “For a race of men or a herd of cattle are governed by the same laws of selection,” Jordan wrote in his famous series of publications “The Blood of the Nation: A Study in the Decay of Races by the Survival of the Unfit.” “Heredity carries over not oppression, but those qualities of mind and heard which invite or which defy oppression.” Around 2,500 Hoosiers were forcibly sterilized before 1974, when the practice ended.
In 2018, a middle school in Palo Alto, California, was renamed from David Starr Jordan Middle School to Frank S. Greene Jr. Middle School following a unanimous decision by the Burbank Unified School District's Board of Education due to Jordan’s eugenicist background. On IU's Office of the President website, there is no mention of Jordan’s eugenicist background. “Jordan was an outstanding scientist and the first layman to be named president of IU,” the website writes. The biology department letter writes that although Jordan was part of IU’s history, it doesn't mean there has to be a building named after him.
“Acknowledging Jordan’s role in our past — both at IU and within Biology as a field — does not require that we memorialize his name on our place of work.” IU biology department letter
“We know that history must not be forgotten lest we repeat it; but this history should be placed where it belongs: in a museum with a detailed explanation of its meaning,” the letter reads. “Acknowledging Jordan’s role in our past — both at IU and within Biology as a field — does not require that we memorial-
ize his name on our place of work.” To Scott Michaels, professor and associate chair for research and facilities at the biology department, the argument that renaming Jordan Hall erases history doesn’t hold much water. “Consider this scenario: you buy a house that has 100-year-old green and magenta wallpaper in the dining room,” he said in an email. “You despise that wallpaper. Would you look at that wallpaper for the rest of your life just because some long-deceased person thought it was nice?” “In my own opinion, each generation should get to decorate their own home/world,” he wrote. “In cases where older things are still copacetic with modern thoughts, tastes, attitudes or ideas, by all means keep them. If they cause pain, embarrassment, conflict and strife, by all means get rid of them.” Biology department chair Gregory Demas acknowledged that in Jordan’s time, many biologists were eugenicists. But he said Jordan took it further than other people with his advocacy for the eugenics movement. In the June 12 IU Board of Trustees meeting, McRobbie announced that all named buildings and structures on IU campuses will be reviewed to determine if the names should remain and singled out Jordan as one of such names. Demas said he didn’t know much about Jordan except that he studied fish before the 2017 flyers incident in Jordan Hall. SEE JORDAN, PAGE 3
A Bloomington firefighter tested positive for COVID-19 on Friday, the fourth city employee to be diagnosed with the virus, according to a city press release. Eleven firefighters who may have been exposed to the virus after a firefighter tested positive last week were identified through contact tracing and tested. Ten tested negative. The firefighter who tested positive was put on paid leave Friday and is asymptomatic so far. If the employee is asymptomatic for 72 hours, the employee may be cleared to return to work by July 4. The firefighter who tested positive last week is still in quarantine but may return to work July 1 if the employee remains asymptomatic. The firefighter was already on leave for a week with symptoms before the test results came back positive. The city is following Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines and Indiana State Department of Health guidelines as well as Bloomington Fire Department protocols for contact tracing. Through contact tracing, the city determined that members of the public were not exposed to the virus by either firefighter who tested positive.
Local man charged with child neglect By Lilly St. Angelo lstangel@iu.edu | @lilly_st_ang
A 27-year-old Bloomington man was arrested Sunday for child neglect after a nearly 2-month-old baby girl was found to have bleeding in her brain, Bloomington Police Department Capt. Ryan Pedigo said. The baby was taken to the hospital Friday for “feeding issues” because she was not gaining weight, and her health continued to decline, Pedigo said. The doctors decided to do a CT scan on the baby, which revealed bleeding in her brain. The baby was then airlifted to Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis. The baby’s parents were brought into the police station for questioning, and the father was arrested. The baby is in serious but stable condition at Riley Hospital, Pedigo said.
Local Black community celebrated Friday Eskenazi School offered externship By Katharine Khamhaengwong kkhamhae@iu.edu | @katharinegk
Enough is Enough, a local Black activist group, organized a “family reunion” for the Bloomington Black community on Friday as part of a small series of events last week. There was a candlelight vigil two days earlier for people killed by police brutality or acts of racism and a postponed event supporting Black LGBTQ people for Pride Month. Friday’s event, which ran from 6 to 9 p.m., was a celebratory contrast to recent protests, and featured performances, food, art, a silent auction of a painting of Colin Kaepernick and Bloomington businesses. The local artists and business owners present were predominantly Black. A fashion, education and charity project called the Love Everyone Brand, also known as the LEO Brand was there as well as shirt company M.A.D.C.O.R.E. and clothing and carpet brand Kito Wares Artists included painter Brooklynn Samonee, who was also selling T-shirts made by her sister and visual artist and rapper Caleb Poer. Performers included Abdul Wasi, Group Fire, FourEva Punchy, Almighty FO and Hungry

and had printed some T-shirts and masks with his logo on them, which he was selling at the event. “If you’re not eating well and you’re not sleeping well, how can you think the next day?” he said.
Most students in the Eskenazi School of Art, Architecture + Design rely on internships during the summer to prepare themselves for their future careers. However, due to the pandemic, students in apparel merchandising and fashion design were unable to gain experience from summer internships. Janis Shaffer and Dana Olsen are co-directors of the Center for Innovative Merchandising, and together they came up with the idea to provide an externships for students this summer who missed their opportunities to participate in internships. Olsen said a little over 80% of students in the Eskenazi School participate in an internship within Eskenazi’s program. “Internships are an important part of the program and develop-

Black mental health affected by BLM
County reports 12 new cases, state to move to Stage 4.5 By Lilly St. Angelo lstangel@iu.edu | @lilly_st_ang
By Lyndsay Valadez Lvaladez@iu.edu | @Lynds_Val
IU alumnus Patrick Ford is tired of Black people being discriminated against because of the color of their skin. But the past month has been empowering and encouraging. Following the killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer, Ford and other organizers including Selena Drake created the Enough is Enough group with a core mission to oppose systemic racism and call for long-overdue change. Ford said it was heartwarming to have different people, not only minorities marching with him, supporting Black Lives Matter at the June 5 Enough is Enough march. “This is one of the best times to be an African American,” Ford said. “I’m not saying it’s a great time, but for the first time, I feel like our voices are really starting to be listened to.” Danielle Kilgo, former assistant professor at the Media School, said the core of the movement spurs from trauma and protests are a call for solidarity. But the Black community’s mental health can be further affected by the movement itself. Each person’s experience can have different effects on their mental health. In an article from the Washington Post, following the video of George Floyd’s killing, the percent of Black Americans screening positively for depression or anxiety rose from 36% to 41%. This increase represents about 1.4 million more Black people. As an organizer, Ford said the protests have been empowering. But other organizers may be having different experiences. Kilgo said it might be disheartening to see peaceful protests

end in arrests and violence, a scene that has played out across the country. At the same time she understands that after a long period of time of calling for justice and not receiving it, attitudes and actions may change. “Reckoning with racism is difficult, and the sadness doesn’t go away in a day,” Kilgo said. Denise Hayes, the director of CAPS at IU, said those who are protesting consistently may lose sleep or not eat, which is not good for anyone’s mental health. But Hayes said feeling seen and heard can have a positive effect and be empowering. Still, Kilgo said the movement goes beyond protesting. Hayes and Kilgo each had suggestions on how to lift up the Black community other than through protests. Kilgo said reading books about racism can help people educate themselves and know how to support Black people. She said it’s important to remember that every institution, not just the police, battles racism. She said even after people forget about videos or protests, she thinks the movement will continue in government, workplaces and
schools through the creation of anti-racist policies. Ford said some of the most empowering things people can do for the Black community during this time are having awkward conversations and standing up for what is right. “At some point, all these marches and protests will end. Our lives will go back to somewhat of a norm,” Ford said. “But if you’re out there holding a Black Lives Matter sign with us during a protest, don’t make that motion worthless afterwards.” Hayes said there are a lot of materials and resources on how people can help and take responsibility. Ford said people have to go out and be willing to stand up for when people say something racist, even in the workplace. He said if people want change, there has to be a continuous conversation. And although people may become discouraged, Hayes said that these types of cultural and societal changes take time. “At the end of the day, if we’re screaming for help and we’re still getting beat, I mean, it only makes us angrier and makes us want to have this change happen faster,” Ford said.

There were 12 new COVID-19 cases reported in Monroe County on Wednesday, according to data from the Indiana State Health Department. The spike comes after over a week of increase in the average number of new cases reported a day. This is the second-highest number of cases reported in a single day since the beginning of the virus’s spread in March. The highest number of cases in a single day was 13 cases June 16, and the thirdhighest number of cases was 11 on April 9. Gov. Eric Holcomb also announced today that Indiana will delay the start of
Stage 5 in the state’s reopening plan. Instead, the state will move into “Stage 4.5,” an intermediate stage that will give people more freedom than Stage 4 but will still restrict the gathering of people through July 17. In Stage 4.5, fairs, festivals and parades will be allowed, but people must be able to socially distance. If events are indoor, the space can only be filled to 50% capacity. There must be sanitation measures in place, and facial coverings are strongly recommended indoors and outdoors. Conventions will be allowed in Stage 4.5 but limited to 250 people. Attendees must be able to socially distance, and sanitation measures must be in place. People are again strongly recommended to
wear facial coverings. Summer camps may begin in Stage 4.5 under some regulations. Employees’ health will be assessed daily, and campers’ health will be screened as well. Adults and children over the age of 2 are recommended to wear masks. Horse racing is also allowed in Stage 4.5, and audiences will be allowed to attend at 50% capacity. Access to state government buildings will still be limited to appointments only, and state employees, contractors and vendors must wear masks inside state buildings. Monroe County health administrator Penny Caudill said Wednesday that Monroe County will have a new order out Thursday.
Bloomington to construct new 7-Line bike trail Lauren McLaughlin lrmclaug@iu.edu | @l_mclaughlin8
The City of Bloomington is planning to create a bike trail on the south side of Seventh Street in 2021. The trail, which will be called the 7-Line, will provide a safer, easier connection for all travelers between the IU campus, downtown, the BLine Trail and surrounding neighborhoods, according to the city. It will stretch from the B-Line Trail to Woodlawn Avenue. Construction will take place in 2021, but specific dates have yet to be determined. The design includes expanded two-way bike lanes, according to a Zoom information session. This will require the removal of some on-street parking on Seventh Street. There will be a buffer between the bike lane and automobile traffic as well as a buffer between the bike lane and the sidewalk, which is called a protected bicycle lane. The buffer between automobile traffic and the bike lane will likely be plants or bus stops. People who wish to use

skateboards, roller blades or scooters will also be able to use the bike lane. Bloomington Transit will benefit as well. The design also accounts for an improved bus corridor that will allow for quicker pick-up times and a safer environment, according to Zac Huneck, the planning and special projects manager for Bloomington Transit. The trail is one of Bloomington’s bicentennial projects, all supported by a $10 million bond. It was inspired by the B-Line Trail, which allows for eas-
ier north-south travel. The 7-Line will allow for easier east-west travel, said Beth Rosenbarger, planning services manager for the City of Bloomington. “The lack of east-west connection, especially for multi-model transportation, bike and pedestrian, access was identified as one of the key missing links,” said Sager Onta, a project manager with Toole Design Group, the 7-Line project designers. The plan is being reviewed by city advisory commissions and the City Council, Rosenbarger said.

In IU’s latest update email sent Friday, the university announced it is partially reimbursing students for parking pass expenses for the spring semester and adding four more credit hours to the school year limit. The amount of money reimbursed to students for their parking passes will be figured from multiplying the daily rate of the permit by the
number of days remaining in the spring semester after March 20, the day IU President Michael McRobbie told students to leave campus. The type of parking pass students bought will determine how much money they get back, according to the email. The credit will be put on students’ bursar accounts. If students want an immediate refund, they can fill out a form. IU extended the limit of 36 credit hours to 40 for the
2020-21 academic year to allow students to take advantage of the winter session and still pay a flat rate for tuition, according to the email. The seven-week winter session goes from Dec. 21 to Feb. 7 and has a one-week break from Dec. 27 to Jan. 3. The email said students can spread out the 40 credit hours in any way they want across the three terms, with any unused hours in one term rolling over to the next term.
The email also said the distance education fee will only be charged to students who are in completely online degree programs. Students who are taking courses online that would normally be in person due to COVID-19 will not have to pay the fee. Students living in dorms this fall will receive their housing and roommate assignments, if they applied for a roommate, during the week of July 13, according to the email.

» JORDAN
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 In 2017, anonymous paper slips were scattered across Jordan Hall marked with the hashtags #renameJordan and #decolonizeIU. Each slip included facts about Jordan’s involvement with the eugenics movement. Jordan Hall’s renaming was brought up again in 2018 after segregationist Ora Wildermuth’s name was taken off of what is now called the William Leon Garrett Fieldhouse. Students and faculty discussed it at an event hosted by the College of Arts and Sciences’ Political and Civic Engagement program, but no action was taken by the school at that time. Demas said the idea of sending a letter to IU administrators calling for the renaming of Jordan Hall was brought up in a virtual department faculty meeting before McRobbie announced a comprehensive review of all named buildings. The meeting followed the killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer and the resulting Black Lives Matter protests across the country and aimed at addressing the department’s intolerance for racism. The 76 faculty and researchers, which Demas said represented nearly, if not exactly, the entire department, decided to present the letter as a group to represent their collective decision. Meanwhile, an online petition to rename Jordan Hall, Jordan Avenue and Jordan

“How do you know what to reach for when you don’t know what’s out there?” He said he had written a business plan a year ago but was spurred into action by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has added extra layers of difficulty to life for members of his community. Paris Miller, a recent IU psychology graduate, said that she helped organize the event because she wanted to do something good for the Bloomington community and to remind people that Black lives matter everyday,
River has collected 4,304 signatures. The petition gathered 1,500 signatures in the first 24 hours, said Megan Chapman, the creator of the petition and a class of 2020 history and international studies graduate and incoming law student at the Maurer School of Law. She said she was surprised by how quickly the petition took off. Chapman said she started the petition shortly after Black Lives Matter protests began. She was inspired by an online petition to rename five buildings in the University of Alabama that commemorate individuals with a racist history, which has collected nearly 20,000 signatures. Chapman said she learned about Jordan’s history in her freshman year when a friend mentioned Jordan’s eugenicist background to her when they were walking past Jordan Hall. She learned more about Jordan on Google around the time the flyers incident took place. She said although IU is not actively endorsing Jordan’s eugenicist views, the university is passively accepting those views by displaying his name on campus. “By continuing to have Jordan’s name emblazoned on its campus, IU provides its support for Jordan’s unacceptable views as well as his role in the American eugenics movement and by extension its resulting impact on both people of color and the Jewish community,” the petition writes. There have been efforts to
rename buildings and schools and take down statues across the country that memorialize people who had racist beliefs. Some have questioned these efforts, saying the memorialized people were good people despite their racist pasts. Chapman said people who question renaming efforts and the toppling of statues are only making excuses. “The majority of people I see who pose those questions are mainly white people who have never really, at least in the history of this country, had their experiences or rights questioned or taken away from them because they were viewed as lesser than,” she said. In a release Tuesday, the IU Student Government announced it passed a resolution supporting the renaming of Jordan Hall and Jordan River. “Given David Starr Jordan’s significant involvement in the eugenics movement, he is an inappropriate namesake for our campus’s landmarks,” said Andrew Ireland, a law student and the Speaker of Congress, in the release. “These spaces should be renamed to reflect the very best of what Indiana University has to offer.” The University Naming Committee responsible for reviewing building names are working through the process and have no timeline yet for announcing any name changes, said Amanda Roach, assistant director of strategic communications at IUBloomington.
not just when protests are happening. She added that she had also helped lead some of the smaller antipolice brutality, pro-Black lives protests on the square in early June. “This is our way of keeping the momentum going,” she said. “We want to make sure the momentum continues and doesn’t end with the protests,” said Patrick Ford, another organizer and an IU marketing and public relations alumnus. “While this moment is awesome, we need to make sure it’s not just a moment. We need a movement.”
He said Enough is Enough, which formed after the death of George Floyd in May, hopes to continue putting on events weekly or at least biweekly, and he loves to hear from students who want to get involved. He can be reached by email at patford@iu.edu. “If you’re not willing to have the tough conversations that we know need to be had, are you really standing for Black lives?” he added. “Silence is violence, and you need to be sure you’re voicing your support not just in front of Black people, but also when we’re not around.”

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 ment,” Olsen said. “Because of so many internships being canceled, we wanted to provide some experience for students.” There were 34 students ranging from rising sophomores to seniors majoring in apparel merchandising, fashion design and business. It was offered during the first six weeks of summer. Students worked on case studies, data analysis and creative thinking. Olsen said they wanted to make assignments as similar as possible to if students were working at an actual internship. Each week students interacted with guest speakers via Zoom, including former CEO of Finish Line, divisional merchandise manager from Vans, a senior advisor of Belk, a senior account executive for Marc Jacobs and a handful of other employees and representatives from different companies. “The two of us both have many connections throughout the retail industry allowing us to find many guest speakers,”
Shaffer said. “I am a part of a LinkedIn group with generally 75% alumni and over 2,000 people total.” Shaffer said alumni who now live around the world were eager to be guest speakers and help students. Students were able to learn about a variety of different jobs and positions. Lauren Wong, a fifthyear student majoring in apparel merchandising, was supposed to go to the New York Field Seminar in New York, led by Shaffer, at the beginning of May. Wong said soon after her seminar was canceled, Shaffer reached out to her informing her about the summer course. “The main concept I was able to take away from this course was to be very open minded with future opportunities,” Wong said. “After hearing from different professionals in different industries, I’ve learned to be more flexible throughout my career.” Wong said she was also glad there was a variety of different guest speakers. She was able to learn about careers within luxury stores and major companies like Google, instead of
just learning about representatives from general department stores. Although Google isn't directly retail related, their representative spoke on the importance of businesses having a strong digital platform since COVID has been impacting brick and mortar sales. She said hearing different perspectives was very encouraging. “This course has taught students to learn to be flexible and roll within the industry and where it’s taking you,” said Shaffer. “It was ironic to us that students were encouraging us to have this class again for other merchandising students.” Wong said she wants other students to be able to take this course in the future because she was able to gain exposure to many different individuals and network with them. She said all of the guest speakers were very open about their careers with her and her classmates. “This was really meaningful because a lot of students in my class had internships canceled and were still given the opportunity to network and seek opportunities," Wong said.

Students play basketball in the then-Ora L. Wildermuth Intramural Center in 2018. IU Health physician Kevin Miller said that people should try to exercise outside if possible and that he would consider most gym activities high risk because they’re inside.
As gyms reopen, here’s how to work out safer By Tyler Tachman ttachman@iu.edu | @Tyler_T15
Gyms around Indiana were allowed to reopen as a part the state’s stage three plan, and while it allows people in the community to get back to lifting weights, more opportunities for the transmission of coronavirus arise with it. Although no decisions have been made about the availability of on-campus gyms, IU students will be back in Bloomington in less than two months. The Indiana Daily Student spoke with IU Health physician Kevin Miller about how to stay safe while exercising and making the return to campus. Responses have been edited for brevity and clarity. What types of physical activity would be considered high-risk right now? Miller: I would say that most gym activities constitute a high-risk activity just because a lot of times it’s inside. First and foremost, I would probably make a recommendation to my patients and everyone else to exercise outside if you can. That involves running or riding a bicycle or doing exercise classes outside. A lot of local, small gyms have
been hosting activities outside rather than having people inside. I would recommend staying outside with most of your activities. What precautions should be taken if I am going to a gym? Miller: You want to make sure that all of the equipment is properly spaced out. If you go back to your gym and the equipment is all still smashed together, or they haven’t blocked off equipment and moved it apart, then the gym isn’t ready to reopen. You should also make sure that they’re cleaning the equipment frequently and that you can clean your own equipment. Bring your own water bottle, so that you’re not drinking out of the water fountain. You probably don’t even want to fill up your water bottle in the water fountain. How frequently should I clean the equipment? Miller: You want to make sure that you're cleaning your equipment before you use it, after you use it and cleaning your hands with soap and water or hand sanitizer frequently. If you are included in any highrisk categories on the CDC website, you should just avoid going to a gym right now.
Should I be wearing a mask in the gym? Miller: If you need to go inside to go to a gym, make sure you’re wearing a mask during any indoor activity. If you don’t feel comfortable exercising with a mask on because you can’t breathe well, then I would suggest not returning to exercise at all yet. I don’t see any problems with breathing hard in a mask, it’s not going to cause any major problems. If you’re really exerting yourself and having trouble getting air in or out, then maybe you shouldn’t be wearing a mask at all or your mask is too thick. But, if you’re having trouble with that, I would recommend exercising outside. If I haven’t been working out during the last few months, should I jump right back into training? Miller: When you are returning to working out from an extended absence or pause, you want to be careful to avoid an injury by not returning to the same weight, speed, intensity or mileage that you were doing before the break. Start off at a lower intensity, and slowly work your way back up to what you were doing before.

What if I want to play team sports at a gym? Miller: Make sure that they’re cleaning the basketballs or other balls frequently. Make sure that you’re maintaining social distance, and wear a mask if you can. Make sure you're cleaning your hands frequently before and after games and not touching your face during games.
Cheerleaders use challenge to stay fit at home By Joy Burton email@iu.edu | @twitter
Hands in fists, junior IU cheerleader Lexi Keller lowers her shoulders as she stares straight ahead in her Fort Wayne, Indiana, backyard. She nods her head up, lifting her arms as she pushes her weight into her gray sneakers. Keller bends her knees into a squat and lurches her upper body forward, swinging her arms back in preparation. She lifts off the ground, twisting over and landing near where she starts in a swift motion, a standing back tuck. Keller repeats two more times, doing the challenge as quickly as she can and limiting her movement to stay in frame. She completes it in 10 seconds. Keller created the video as part of IU Crimson Squad all-girl cheer team’s weekly challenges. The cheer challenge has gained social media attention recently after the IU Instagram account page began reposting videos of cheerleaders completing their challenges and encouraging noncheerleaders to partake in easier

IU cheerleaders stand in formation in the air Sept. 14, 2019, in Memorial Stadium. The IU Crimson Squad cheer team has created weekly challenges on social media that have been reposted by IU's Instagram account.
ten Zupancic said the idea was born after the 39-person team was broken into small group chats of about six people. Within these small groups, the cheerleaders became responsible for posting their cheer challenges, which include get-to-know-you prompts and physical feats, such as planks and burpees. "It's a great bonding opportunity during a time when they really can't see each other," Zupancic said. IU cheerleaders normally meet in June and July for "practice weekends," three- to four-day clinics each month. Now, during the coronavirus
pandemic, the team is limited to meeting over Zoom calls every few weeks for cheer updates. These calls include the co-ed Cream cheer squad. Senior Jenna Daniel said her favorite activity so far is when the Crimson Squad met together in a Zoom call to get to know one another. Everyone was encouraged to say a fact about themselves, send a picture and give a name for their small group. “Little things like that are great ways to get to know each other and be comfortable with your teammates,” Daniel said. Daniel said she misses travel-
ing to the team's annual summer Wisconsin retreat. She recalls darting left and right during games of Ships and Sailors with her teammates, going bowling at a local alley and popping balloons tied to one another’s ankles in a game. “When you’re remote, it’s hard just to put a name to a face, let alone to get to know one another,” Daniel said. The team won’t be meeting again until August, but Daniel is looking forward to the date she is reunited with her teammates. “If everyone does their part to social distance and stay safe, I think we’re ready to make a great season happen,” Daniel said.
On the eve of his final day as IU athletic director, Fred Glass received the President’s Medal for Excellence during an unannounced Zoom conference appearance from IU President Michael McRobbie on Monday. Glass was recognized for his success overseeing IU Athletics, which included the modernization of the university’s major athletic facilities. It is the highest honor an IU president can give. Scott Dolson will replace Glass on July 1, ending a tenure that lasted nearly 12 years. “Fred has been an outstanding athletics director for IU and is one of the very best in the Big Ten,” McRobbie said in a release. “He assumed the role after what had been a tumultuous decade for IU Athletics. Since then, he has worked tirelessly to return his alma mater to its rightful place as one of the premier athletic departments in the country.” Glass was named IU athletic director Jan. 1, 2009. Since then, the graduation success rate for IU athletics rose from 77% to 91%. In each of the last seven years, it has been equal or better than the year prior. During his tenure, he also introduced the Student-Athlete Bill of Rights and the Sexual Violence Disqualification Policy and recorded no major NCAA rules violations. Glass is one of six recipients of the IU President’s Medal for Excellence that has direct ties to IU Athletics, including Bob Knight, Ed Williams, Jerry Yeagley, Lin Loring and Hobie Billingsley.

TAKE IT LIKE A FAN
The emotions of the MLB offseason explained by Carly Rae Jepsen songs Bradley Hohulin is a rising sophomore in marketing.
I must confess, I am the worst type of baseball fan. My superficial appreciation of America’s pastime means I tend to find a steroid cover-up or sign-stealing controversy far more intriguing than a perfectly thrown changeup. However, Major League Baseball’s disappearance in 2020 has forced me to reexamine our partnership. In the end, it wasn’t the steamy scandals that stoked my love of the game, but rather the fact that it was always there for me. This is strikingly similar to the career path of Canadian singer Carly Rae Jepsen who, after taking the world by storm in 2011 with her smash hit “Call Me Maybe,” vanished from Billboard’s Hot 100. As it happens, Jepsen has been constructing an auditory Louvre of priceless art for nearly a decade, making fools of everyone who suddenly decided they were too good for a bubbly summer anthem. While rediscovering my adoration of baseball and Jepsen alike, I realized the volatile tension seen throughout the MLB offseason heavily mirrors the rich discography of British Columbia’s most overlooked pop star. "Let’s Sort The Whole Thing Out" This track from Jepsen’s 2020 album, “Dedicated Side B,” describes a couple struggling to define its feelings amid unprecedented circumstances. A bouncy, ringing instrumental reflects the certainty MLB owners and players held in late March, insisting an agreement could be reached within weeks. Furthermore, I found the pre-chorus summed up my resurgent affection for baseball to a T. “Somebody wants you, somebody cares —for real,”Jepsen sings. Indeed, following years of mocking the sport, I was

stunned to legitimately care about baseball again.’ "Call Me Maybe" I soon grew cold and distant amid the league’s dreary negotiations. But few things reignite passions like a screen lighting up at 1 a.m., and that’s what the Korean Baseball Organization offered with its nocturnal broadcasts on ESPN. “Before you came into my life, I missed you so bad,” Jepsen belts out, which is especially appropriate given that I was unaware of the KBO’s existence mere days prior to its airing. Some may call it a cheap imitation of the genu-
ine article, but I think the KBO expertly captures the level of energy in an MLB stadium by placing literal cardboard cutouts in the stands. "The Sound" “God, you make me so tired. Isn’t this the vision that you wanted?” Eventually, it felt somewhat contradictory for the athletes to demand a season despite turning down every proposal. Even as they took to social media with the hashtag #WhenandWhere, their eagerness to compete was nonetheless blunted by the desire for a larger paycheck.
“Love is more than telling me you want it," Jepsen artfully articulates atop a swelling synthesizer. "I don’t need the words, I want the sound.” Nitty-gritty contractual details aren’t particularly alluring. I yearn instead to hear the crack of the bat, the blaring of the organ and the dulcet tones of Joe Buck providing commentary with all the vigor of a narcoleptic koala bear. "Happy Not Knowing" Eventually, one becomes weary of the constant will they, won’t they. Each time I saw a headline suggesting the Players Association and
owners might have metaphorically kissed and made up, I couldn’t help but echo Jepsen's defiant cries: “I’m sure it’s nothing but some heartburn, baby. And I’m happy not knowing.” With professional basketball only a month away and college football supposedly set to return, baseball just didn’t seem like it was worth my tears any longer. There was nobody to take me out to the ball game, and I honestly didn’t care if I ever came back. "For Sure" The opening lyric, “It’s six in the morning, can I hold
you?” is relatable to those who have recently finished watching a KBO contest but whose hearts remain unfilled. Alas, unlike the highly contagious virus it was strategically trying to plan around, baseball has been playing hard to get. Still, this song’s cautiously optimistic hook, “I was thinking, we were over. I’ve been thinking, got to know for sure,” reminds me that even after all the back-andforth, I can’t help but hope some spiritual umpire has ruled our relationship safe in the bottom of the ninth. bhohulin@iu.edu

IU adds infielder Tank Espalin to 2020 recruiting class By Jared Kelly Jaakelly@iu.edu | @Jared_Kelly7
At the beginning of last week, IU baseball’s 2020 recruiting class looked to be complete with nine commitments. But on Saturday afternoon, the Hoosiers bolstered its incoming freshman class by adding highly touted middle infielder Tank Espalin. Espalin, a native of Glendora, California, had been
committed to the University of Southern California since eighth grade. However, in mid-June the Trojans released the left-handed hitter from his National Letter of Intent, allowing him to reopen his recruitment. IU head coach Jeff Mercer immediately jumped at the opportunity to contact Espalin, and Espalin announced his pledge to the Hoosiers within a week of hearing from
Mercer. In a 2019 showcase, Espalin received a 10 from Perfect Game, the recruiting service's highest possible prospect grade. According to Perfect Game’s player rating system, a 10 indicates a “potential very high draft pick and/or elite level college prospect.” The 6-foot 1-inch recruit attended Orange Lutheran High School, the No. 1 team in the country, according to
MaxPreps’ Computer Rankings. In his junior season with the Lancers, Espalin recorded a .268 batting average with a .354 on-base percentage in 21 games. Though Espalin’s smooth fielding acumen helped garner national attention early on, his ability to hit for contact and reach base consistently landed him on Perfect Game California’s first team All-Region in 2020.
“My scouting report as a hitter would probably be I spray the field and line-drive approach,” Espalin said in an interview with Perfect Game in 2019. “Contact hitter, put the ball in play a lot.” Espalin’s quick, compact swing will likely allow him to compete with IU senior infielder Jeremy Houston for playing time in his first season. The pair could also form a stout defensive tandem in
the middle of the infield if either Houston or Espalin moved to second base. With the late addition of Espalin, IU’s 2020 recruiting class jumps from No. 77 to No. 59 in the nation, according to Perfect Game. The Hoosiers’ 10-player freshman class will help to mitigate the loss of outfielder Elijah Dunham, who signed an undrafted freeagent contract with the New York Yankees.

EVERETT’S EXAMPLES
The Supreme Court doesn’t deserve your adoration Everett Kalman (he/him) is a senior in law and public policy.
Halfway through my freshman year at IU, I switched my major to study law and public policy. I dreamed of becoming an immigration lawyer and eventually joining the Supreme Court as one of the nine justices. I idolized what I saw as a wise institution unmoved by the political turmoil that embroiled the rest of Washington, D.C. I’m not the only one who’s made such a mistaken judgement about the Court. In the past two weeks, much of America has fallen into the trap of putting the Supreme Court up on a pedestal of progressive heroism. This is mostly the result of three very important decisions that were announced in the last month. On June 15, the Court ruled that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects LGBTQ individuals from employment discrimination because it is discrimination on the basis of a person’s sex. Three days later, the Court ruled against the Department of Homeland Security’s attempt to revoke Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, also known as DACA, a policy implemented by former President Barack Obama that offers offers undocumented children a path to remain in the United States. Just today, the Court ruled that a new Louisiana law seeking to restrict abortion access was unconstitutional. While these three rulings are undoubtedly positive decisions, we shouldn’t be so quick to sing the Court’s praises — specifically regarding DACA. The Court only ruled on procedural grounds that
the Trump administration couldn’t end DACA because DHS didn’t provide a rationale for revoking the program. In his decision, Chief Justice John Roberts writes that the Court does not contest President Donald Trump’s ability to rescind DACA protections, only that he went about it in the wrong way. While many were quick to exclaim victory at the outcome of this case, Roberts’ ruling should be seen rather as an instruction manual to help the Trump administration revoke DACA. By ruling only on procedural grounds and not on the implications of ending the program itself, Roberts implicitly paved a clear path for DHS: As long as you give a plausible reason, you can end the program. Shruti Rana, a professor of international law and director of the undergraduate international law and institutions program at IU’s Hamilton Lugar School of Global and International Studies, spoke with the IDS last week to provide a better understanding of what the Court’s recent ruling means for undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children. “That means that there’s a lot of room, unfortunately, for the executive to issue new executive orders,” Rana said. Trump wasted no time in showing his hand, tweeting, “We will be submitting enhanced papers shortly in order to properly fulfill the Supreme Court’s ruling & request of yesterday,” the day after the Court handed down its ruling. This deceptively positive ruling points to the notion that the public, especially in legal and political
spheres, must stop idolizing the Supreme Court. Even most purportedly “liberal” justices such as Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg decided recently to approve the construction of oil pipelines through the Appalachian Trail and refused to accept cases regarding qualified immunity for the next term. It’s worth noting that in the recent ruling over DACA, Justice Sonia Sotomayor was the singular member of the Court to point out Trump’s history of derogatory and racist remarks toward Mexicans, writing in her opinion that Trump’s “executive dedisproportionately cision harms the same racial group that the president branded as less desirable mere months earlier.” Beyond employment discrimination and immigration, the Court has the potential to address several issues plaguing our democracy including qualified immunity, executive privilege and the death penalty. The legacy of the Supreme Court provides its members with a certain weight and attention each time it hands down a decision. The nation waits in awe and anticipation for at least five people to take a side. While its opinions and approaches may change over time, the Court is for better or for worse not responsive to the demands of the public. If progressives want to make gains in national politics, it must be done by applying pressure to elected officials in Congress and the officials White House. The American people can’t depend on the whims of nine people to deliver justice. It must be demanded from our elected officials. officials. eskalman@iu.edu

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
A lot is at stake if the Bloomington Community Farmers' Market closes Customers are leaving the Bloomington Community Farmers’ Market and telling vendors who continue to sell there that they will no longer buy from them. Why is this happening? It began with the discovery that an owner of Schooner Creek Farm is a member of the American Identity Movement, a white supremacist organization.
What have the vendors done to deserve losing their customers? They have done nothing but work hard for not much income to supply this community with local, fresh, healthful food – many for decades. What will be lost as customers and vendors leave the market? A market that has provided access to this local, fresh, healthful food to the
food insecure citizens of our community for decades. This market has run the Plant a Row for the Hungry program for 19 years, through which farmers have donated over 400,000 pounds of food to Hoosier Hills Food Bank. This market has accepted SNAP (food stamps) for 14 years, the first farmers market in Indiana to do so, and participated in the Farmers’
Market Nutrition Program, which includes WIC (for low-income mothers and children) and a program for low-income seniors, for more than 20 years. Beginning in 2012, the market started doubling SNAP benefits up to $18 per week, again the first market in Indiana to do so. This market now doubles SNAP benefits up to $27 per week. For $24
in WIC benefits, recipients can receive $48 of matching funds, providing $72 to use at the market; qualifying seniors receive matching funds of $42 for $20 in benefit, giving them $62 to spend. The market has worked with the Farm to Family Fund to purchase food from vendors at the close of the Tuesday Market for Mother Hubbard’s Cupboard beginning
last year. What will we lose if the Bloomington Community Farmers’ Market closes? – access to fresh, local, healthful food for so many food insecure homes in our community. Janice Lilly, Cary Buzzelli, Ed and Wendy Bernstein, Deborah Piston-Hatlen and Merrill Hatlen

Phoebe Bridgers’ new record is full of variety, emotional lyrics Kevin Chrisco is a rising senior in journalism.
Pain. Since her 2017 debut, my soul has been attacked by Phoebe Bridgers’ music. Her power grows stronger with her new record “Punisher.” “Punisher” is Bridgers’ second solo LP, and it’s a devastating bundle of raw emotion. Lyrics cut deeply. Instruments lull you into a somber headspace, shoving you into misty rooms decorated with portraits of people crying. “Punisher” is Bridgers’ finest work to date. Unlike her 2017 record “Stranger in the Alps,” these songs are more varied. They’re not all slow burns, down-tempo ballads with a morose disposition. Album closer “I Know the End” ambles forward slowly before transforming into an energetic procession. Horns blare, synths pulse and percussion grows. A chorus of voices chant: “The end is here.” And then it becomes an absolute apocalypse. Wolves howl and screams reverberate through the mix. An operatic orchestral piece that sounds like it could be from some demented, Dracula musical violently carries the album to its close. “Kyoto” is an almost upbeat story of touring. “ICU” is a bundle of kinetic energy, with synths that could belong to a straightforward, indie pop record. But this isn’t a straightforward indie pop record, and eventually, the
