‘Dumb gets beat’ IU safety successful on the field, in the classroom By Sam Beishuizen sbeishui@indiana.edu | @Sam_Beishuizen
Mark Murphy’s football IQ began to develop well before he was even allowed to step onto a football field. The senior safety used to lay in his bed as a boy watching film of his father, Mark Murphy Sr., playing safety for the Green Bay Packers in the 1980s. Those early film sessions molded Murphy into the player he is, as he learned the game directly from his father, who was inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame in 1998. Off the football field, Murphy has put similar effort into his studies in the classroom. An informatics major, Murphy boasts a 3.85 GPA. He’s one of 17 finalists for the National Football Foundation’s Campbell Trophy, awarded to the nation’s best scholar athlete, which bodes well with his safeties coach Noah Joseph. Joseph has a motto he likes his safeties to follow: “Dumb gets you beat.” That hasn’t really been a problem for Murphy, a perennial Academic All-American contender. Unless, of course, he runs late for a team meeting. Then Joseph starts to heckle Murphy a bit. “If he’s ever running late to a meet-
ing or something, he’ll just say that he’s more focused on his schoolwork than his football work,” freshman safety Chase Dutra said. “But you can’t really dog on him because he’s a really, really smart kid and it shows on the field and in the classroom.” Murphy’s classroom success named him to the Capital One Academic AllDistrict V Team for the third consecutive year and placed him on the ballot for Academic All-American consideration. Murphy, who shares his number 37 with his father, was never pushed into playing football. He didn’t even start playing until he was in fifth grade. Since he couldn’t play football, he watched it. In the classroom, he quickly became a top student, and when he was finally allowed to play football, he learned to balance his time between studying his textbooks and playbooks. He treats both the same, giving priority to whichever one’s up next. When he’s on the field it’s all about football. But when he’s off, school becomes a priority. “For me, growing up, my dad always said, ‘You can control your attitude and your effort no matter what you do,’” Murphy said. “Even if it’s school, you want to make sure you have the best attitude and don’t slack off. It’s always been my goal, no matter what I’m doing,

Lining up the farthest back on defense, the safety must compensate for the mistakes of others. That means knowing the alignments and communicating with teammates and having them trust the voice behind them. The play itself is a bit like problemsolving in the classroom. Murphy must determine what the offense is showing and anticipate what play is coming. Once the ball is snapped, SEE MURPHY, PAGE 6
Miniature ponies aren’t just for show. They’re for taking pictures with, too. Revitalizing Animal Well-being, a student organization that focuses on improving animal welfare through volunteering, fundraising and education, is working with People and Animal Learning Services for a “Meet the Minis” event today from 2 to 4 p.m. outside of Ballantine Hall. The event will feature two miniature ponies, Rocky and Shorty, ambassadors for PALS. Students will have the opportunity to meet and take pictures with the ponies for a donation of $1, with all of the proceeds going to PALS. “Working with PALS is a wonderful opportunity to give back to our community and a way to help both animals and children who benefit from their services,” said Anna Sernau, a junior majoring in animal behavior and the outreach coordinator for RAW, said. President of RAW Taylor VanArsdale said the goals of the “Meet the Minis” event are to donate to the PALS program, provide publicity for PALS, which could result in both larger donations and additional volunteers, and to expose more people on IU’s campus to RAW. “Our officers have dedicated so much time and energy into reaching our goals this semester and, in doing so, have really done a good job of helping animals as well as making RAW feel like a family,” VanArsdale said. Jennylynn Vidas, community outreach coordinator for PALS, said that by having the event on campus, they hope students are able to learn more about the PALS therapeutic riding program and its mission to serve the Bloomington community. She said Lindsay Nash, development associate for PALS, will speak at RAW’s meeting at 7 p.m. today in Ballantine 137. Vidas said Nash will speak about how the organization has used therapeutic horseback riding lessons to improve the lives of children, adults and seniors in the Indiana community. “The partnership between PALS and RAW is one that’s founded on a mutual love of animals and the desire to help people,” Vidas said. Sernau said so far in the 20142015 school year, RAW has partnered with the Exotic Feline SEE PONIES, PAGE 6 Meet the Minis Sponsored by Revitalizing Animal Welfare 2 to 4 p.m. today, outside of Ballantine Hall
Keller Williams to perform Protesters speak against killing deer at the Bluebird tonight By Neal Earley

Keller Williams broke into the bluegrass music scene in the ‘90s with an unusual one-man band performance style. “It’s all that I’ve done in my adult life, playing shows and making a living that way,” Williams said. “It’s just kind of what I do. I go away on the weekends, I come home during the week and I’m just really used to doing that and it’s kind of just how I’ve come to survive, that’s not only financially, but mentally, as well. I don’t really look at it as determination, I look at it as just life, that’s how I roll.” Williams is set to play a solo show tonight at the Bluebird Nightclub. Tickets for the show may be purchased online at the Bluebird website or at the door. Doors open at 8 p.m. and the show is set to begin at 9 p.m.
KELLER WILLIAMS Doors open at 8 p.m., show starts at 9 p.m. today, the Bluebird Nightclub Tickets can be purchased online for $18 to $20 or at the door for $20. Although his most recent album was recorded with the Grateful Grass — one of many bands he plays with — Williams said his Bloomington show will implement his “one-man band” techniques. “What you’ll get at a solo show for me is, basically is, every other song will be solo music,” Williams said. “Then every other song ... I’ll set up a drum loop, a bass loop, and guitar loops and pull them in and out. Nothing is prerecorded. Everything is live. We do that every other song, so it’ll be kind of a mixture.” To create loops, Williams uses a BOSS RC-300 Loop Station to SEE WILLIAMS, PAGE 6

Sandra Shapshay, right, president of Bloomington Advocates for Nonviolent Innovative Deer Stewardship, protests against the deer-killing policy Wednesday in front of Bloomington City Hall.
Some of them dressed up, some of them just held signs, but either way the message was clear — they don’t want deer to be killed by sharp shooters. Before Wednesday night’s Bloomington City Council meeting, about two dozen protesters gathered in the cold to show their opposition to the city’s policy on deer overpopulation. “The science at Griffy, kind of iffy,” the protesters chanted. The issue of the council’s decision to sharp-shoot deer was not officially on the agenda Wednesday night, but Bloomington residents, one after another, spoke at the meeting on the matter. “There are other ways to control the deer that have not been tried or even attempted,” said Chuck Rogers, a 61-year-old Bloomington resident. “To me it’s just pure barbarism to bait deer and then SEE DEER, PAGE 6

Talk explores effects of Affordable Care Act By Neha Ramani nramani@indiana.edu | @neha_ramani
Students and community members gathered Wednesday evening in the Poynter Center to learn about the impact of the 2010 Affordable Care Act’s provisions for college-age Americans. Kosali Simon, a professor in the School of Public and Environmental Affairs who studies health economics and policy, began the discussion with a lecture titled “How has the Affordable Care Act Affected Young Adults? Evidence from the Law’s First Insurance Expansion.” The talk was the third in the Poynter Center’s fall lineup of health care ethics seminars, which take place the second Wednesday of every month. Simon said her work involves investigating the health and labor market impacts of various types of health insurance. “It’s about trying to make the health care system better,” she said. The Affordable Care Act Provision for Young Adults — the subject of the talk — affects young adults aged 19 to 25 whose parents have pri-
vate insurance, Simon said. Among other things, the act requires insurers to allow dependents to remain on their parents’ policy until their 26th birthday. Simon compared her work to medical research on the effectiveness of a drug. “We would like to answer questions about how effective some law is, like how in medicine we want to see how effective a drug is,” she said. “The difference is that we don’t have a lab setting or obvious control and variable groups.” Instead, Simon said, policy researchers have to analyze and draw conclusions from government-provided data. Simon said one question she looked into was the impact of the Young Adult Provision on the level of insurance coverage, which she said increased 30 percent for the 19 to 23 age group. Simon explained she must consider in her analysis that the statistic doesn’t necessarily mean all those people were uninsured before, as the data does not tell if someone switched from buying their own insurance to joining their parents’ plan. Another question Simon
is exploring is if receiving health insurance that is not tied to a young adult’s own employment affects their behaviors related to work. “Maybe someone will now pursue art or start their own business, where they wouldn’t initially get insurance,” she said. Members of IU’s pre-med fraternity Phi Delta Epsilon — for whom attendance at the talk was mandatory — comprised the majority of the audience. Danielle Yin, a senior in the fraternity, said the talk was relevant to members of the group on many levels. “We’re all going to be doctors, so we think it’s important for us to know how the Affordable Care Act will affect us and our future patients,” she said. Yin added that the Affordable Care Act Young Adult Provision is especially relevant for pre-med students who stay in medical school well into their mid-20s. “Even in med school we are covered now,” she said. Katie Griffin, another member of the fraternity, said it was interesting to learn about a different kind

of research from what she conducts in a lab setting. “Social and economic experiments are hard for me to grasp,” she said. “I liked that she related it back to us.” Griffin said she also was impressed by the kinds of
social and economic conclusions Simon drew from government data. “I never knew that they had access to all that information,” she said. Simon said the information she presented at the talk
is just the very beginning when it comes to analysis of the Affordable Care Act. “Data (about the Affordable Care Act) is just starting to come out,” she said. “Now only do we need to start to try and make sense of it.”

Grant to fund research of wonder By Kathrine Schulze schulzek@indiana.edu | @kas_schulze
Wonder. It’s a word used often to convey amazement, curiosity, strangeness. For the next two years, 11 faculty members from three IU campuses will explore the concept of wonder as it pertains to the natural world, according to an IU news release. “Wonder can be a variety of things,” program coordinator for “Wonder and the Natural World” Abby Gitlitz said. “So it can be a child at play in a field of grass, but it also can be the awe inspired by an erupting volcano destroying your village.” The two-year thematic project “Wonder and the Natural World” is sponsored by the Consortium for the Study of Religion, Ethics and Society. The consortium is an interdisciplinary association made up of scholars, academic programs and research centers from all eight of IU’s campuses, according to a press release. The consortium’s direc-
tor is Lisa Sideris, a religious studies professor at IUBloomington. “We received a truly impressive array of proposals, linking wonder to many facets of human and nonhuman life,” Sideris said in the release. “The successful proposals reflect on the light and dark dimensions of wonder, as well as wonder’s ethical, emotional, cognitive, pedagogical, aesthetic and religious forms. It will be exciting to see the conversations that emerge from these diverse studies of wonder.” The funding is meant to encourage faculty to engage with the idea of “wonder” in every one of its forms in multiple disciplines, according to the University. Those who were awarded funding came from a variety of disciplines, including religious studies, English, bioethics and anthropology. “What we were hoping was to draw people from lots of different areas,” Gitlitz said. “And then also to encourage people to work out with other
faculty that they might not have thought of working with to come up with projects that were interdisciplinary.” One such awardee is Richard Gunderman, professor and vice chairman of radiology at the IU School of Medicine. The research Gunderman will conduct is titled “Medicine: Wonder-less or Wonderful?” according to the release. Gunderman is looking to explore the disconnect between what medical schools teach students — dispassionate science of treating injury and disease — and the influence of wonder for both the patient and the physician. “Every time a physician sees a patient, there is something awesome in bringing hidden things to light and assisting natural healing processes,” he said in the release. “Birth, death, illness, regeneration — these are the physician’s daily stock and trade, and they are pregnant with mystery.” In the Department of Religious Studies, assistant
professor Heather Blair was also awarded funding for her project “Super-Natural: Configuring Childhood Virtue in Contemporary Japanese Picture Books.” “This project examines representations of the natural world in post-war Japanese children’s literature with a particular emphasis on contemporary picture books designed for children ages 3 to 6,” she said in the release. “Broadly speaking, it aims to introduce the study of Japanese children’s literature into ongoing conversations about childhood, character education, religion and ethics.” The grant funding is phase one of the two-year initiative. The next phase is a symposium in May 2015, where the grant awardees will be able to discuss their ongoing work. The third and final phase will be an international conference to take place in 2016, Gitlitz said. Once this grant cycle is done, a new theme will be chosen for the next two-year initiative.
The Sustainability Fund intends to fund projects that will assist in IU’s efforts toward a sustainable future. The Student Sustainability Council is now accepting proposals from the community on how to spend this fund, according to an SSC news release. This is the first time the SSC is looking outside of the organization for ideas. A committee will review the proposals to ensure they are within reach. The final decision will be made in a vote by the SSC general assembly by the end of the fall 2014 semester. The general assembly is made up of delegates from sustainability-related organizations on campus. Members will be eligible to vote by attending a minimum number of meetings. The SSC is accepting proposals from students, faculty, staff and the campus community, according to SSC. All proposals are due by next Friday. The Sustainability Fund was established in 2010 after its founders obtained 11,000 student signatures in support of its creation, according to the SSC. The fund focuses on projects that support all parts of sustainability, including the economic, social and environmental aspects. Proposals will be assessed on a variety of criteria including their visibility,

cost, educational opportunity, feasibility and sustainability benefit to students, according to SSC. Previously, the SSC funded a project called the Ballantine Light Project, an idea that came directly from the SSC’s general assembly. This project installed motion sensing and energy-efficient lights in Ballantine Hall. The project was funded in April 2013 and was the first project funded by the Sustainability Fund, according to its website. When registering for classes, students are given the option to donate $5 to the Sustainability Fund along with a number of other groups and organizations such as the Sexual Assault Prevention Fund and the Indiana University Dance Marathon. Proposals can be submitted online at the sustainability section of IU’s website. Submission involves filling out a form with detailed descriptions of the project, including estimated cost, visibility and what the benefit would be to students. The form also asks if other organizations have attempted similar projects, the success of those projects and what the time line for the project might look like. Students with questions about the fund or about SSC can email iubssc@indiana.edu.

History Center market brings funds, people By Kathrine Schulze schulzek@indiana.edu | @kas_schulze
Cheery snowmen and ornate angels cozied up to Christmas villages and the odd stuffed animal on long, white tables in the hall of the Monroe County History Center. The center is two weeks into its two-month-long holiday sale, which runs from Nov. 1 to Jan. 1 and has new and gently used holiday items for enthusiastic holiday decorators. The items are saved from the center’s garage sale in June, when members of the community donate their new and gently used items to the center. Hillary Detty, operations manager for the center, said the items saved range from decorations to small gifts. “They save the best holiday items, both decorations and potential gift items: jewelry, gloves, vases, things like
that,” Detty said. The garage sale in June is in the Cook Pharmica Warehouse, which is more than 20,000 square feet. The garage sale has been going on annually for 33 years, longtime volunteer Kathy McFall said. “The holiday sale is a result of having our major garage sale in June,” McFall said. It is also much younger. It has been in existence for only about five years. All donations are tax deductible, just like donating to Goodwill, Detty said. Holiday sale items change constantly as items are sold, and the tables are replenished with new pieces. The mix of antique pieces, modern jewelry and tchotchkes items the center sells is made possible by the center’s volunteers. “It’s a committee of long-term volunteers that do fundraising for history center,” Detty said. “They’re
very dedicated.” It takes about nine volunteers to coordinate the holiday sale, McFall said. Some of the most interesting pieces at this year’s sale are German mercury glass tree toppers, which run for about $200 on eBay but just $49 at the holiday sale, Detty said. “It’s great for people that are college students or people that are just starting out in their own home and don’t have any of this stuff yet,” she said. Donations are collected year-round for both the garage sale and holiday. Donors can coordinate with the center to either drop off donations or arrange for a pickup, McFall said. A mix of Christmas village items can also be found on the tables from the Tower of London to a small, old-fashioned police station. “It’s just a fun mix,” she said. “It’s never the same

thing twice, obviously.” From the first two weeks alone the sale has brought in more than $2,000, up 25 percent from last year’s sale,
Detty said. The holiday sale wasn’t always so big, McFall said. It started as a small table in the corner of the center’s educa-
tion room. As the June garage sale grew, so did the holiday sale, she said. “It was a snowball effect,” she said.
Middle Way House wins grant from Ind. first lady

Middle Way House was recently selected as one of 19 Indiana organizations and charities to receive a grant from the Indiana First Lady’s Charitable Foundation. At the ceremony, Indiana First Lady Karen Pence presented grants to organizations from across the state for amounts ranging from $500 to $1,000, according to a press release from the State of Indiana. Middle Way House received $500 from the fund. “We will be using the money to help fund our afterschool program for children of domestic violence victims who are sheltered here at Middle Way House,” Jim Davis, fund development coordinator for the organization, said in an email. Middle Way House, a local organization aimed at helping victims of domestic violence, was the only Bloomington nonprofit to receive an award. Middle Way offers programming and services to women and children who are victims of abuse and sexual assault. Programs include

crisis intervention, emergency and transitional housing, legal advocacy and more. The First Lady’s Charitable Foundation was started as a way to recognize organizations that provide help to women and children across the state. “Middle Way House is one of those organizations that is doing great work for our Hoosier children and families, and it is an honor to recognize them today,” Pence said in the release.
The foundation was founded in August 2013 and awarded its first major grant of $100,000 to the Art Therapy Program at Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis. “These organizations are the backbone and the heart of our communities,” Pence said. “Middle Way House represents the very best of what it means to be a Hoosier, and we thank them for their service.” Holly Hays
Last month, it was doctors and time travel. This month, it’s crossbows and survival. WonderLab Museum of Science, Health and Technology’s monthly free Teen Night this Friday will revolve around the Hunger Games. Last month, the theme was Dr. Who. “Lots of teens come dressed up in costume,” said Staci Radford-Vincent, program and outreach manager at WonderLab. “So we try to come up with a theme (that caters to that).” The program usually draws anywhere from 50 to 80 teenagers and pre-teens between the ages of 12 and 18. The participants’ showing up in costume sends a message to the WonderLab staff that the children are grateful for the staff ’s effort, RadfordVincent said. The Hunger Games night, which will last from around 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., will consist of several interactive activities. The main craft activity,
Wood appointed as new County Library director From IDS reports
The Monroe County Public Library appointed a new director today to replace its incumbent of seven years, Sarah Laughlin. Marilyn Wood will become the director effective Feb. 2. “Wood is a skilled leader with extensive experience in developing and leading Marilyn programs Wood to provide exceptional customer service,” a press release from the Monroe County Public Library stated. Wood was an associate director at the library prior to her appointment and has been in that role since June 2012. “She has been very involved in planning the Library’s future and has developed strong, positive working relationships with Board and staff,” the release read. In her role as associate director, Wood co-chaired the library’s staff development committee, led library renovation projects and public service departments and oversaw those departments. The release described her as having been instrumental in “strengthening partnerships
across the community.” Wood isn’t a stranger to libraries. She has worked at the IU Libraries in the roles of lending services supervisor, head of Bibliographic and Database Searching Unit and head of Document Delivery Services. She also worked at Harvard University from 19952012, stepping into the role of associate librarian of Harvard College for Collection Management from 2005-2012. “At Harvard, she developed a reputation for articulating strategic directions, successfully leading staff through change, implementing new technologies and services ... and expanding collaboration within the library and with peer institutions,” according to the library. Wood is originally from Brown County, Ind., and attended IU for her B.A. and M.L.S. degrees. When she learned of her appointment, Wood called Monroe County Public Library “an exceptional community resource,” according to the release. “I care deeply about its success and am proud to work with colleagues in the Library,” Wood said in the release. “I am excited for the opportunity to lead the Library forward in this exciting and dynamic future.” Anicka Slachta
Radford-Vincent explained, will be creating miniature crossbows that are able to shoot cotton swabs. The only time teens will be able to handle a real bow will be with special guest and Olympic-trained archer Lindsay Nevalainen. Nevalainen will be teaching the teens how to draw a bow (but not shoot it), show them some archery gear and share archery photos with them. The Wild Nature Project is also contributing to the event, working with WonderLab on Friday to teach the teens important survival skills. Among these will be building shelters from just tarp and teamwork survival, Radford-Vincent said. The Wild Nature Project, a Bloomington-based organization, also runs a Teen Leadership Program that meets twice a month, according to its website. Teens ages 14-18 can participate in the program, which teaches “wilderness ninja skills,” leadership skills and self-reflection. In between activities at the WonderLab event, teens
will be able to enjoy a healthy spread of whole wheat bagels and toppings, RadfordVincent said. Although teen night only happens once a month at WonderLab, there are always events taking place at the museum. On Nov. 15 there will be a special one-day exhibit called “Meet the Instruments,” in which people of all ages can visit the museum and check out the on-display instruments of the Bloomington Symphony Orchestra. Discovery Time is a weekly Wednesday event for preschool-aged children and their parents where they can enjoy books and activities, each with a different scientific topic weekly. Teen Night, though, is special. Above all, Radford-Vincent said, it is an opportunity for teens to spend time with their friends in a new and exciting place. “This is an opportunity for teens to hang out with their friends in a fun environment and to do and learn something new,” she said. “It’s really fun and really different.”

Because the best way to gain the trust of people already traumatized by police militarization is by bringing in the actual military. Good move, Nixon.

Not a cure-all
Playing the hero
NANCY WU is a senior in English.
I’ve always been a skeptic about how technology has the potential to solve all basic human problems. A friend of mine who majored in informatics was much more optimistic. And of course when we would argue, his arguments were always more convincing. He would give examples of how technology has improved our lives and solved our basic problems. And I, the humanities major, would give a generic objection. I argued that the problems more central to human life were not ones that technology could solve. But I struggled to give an example of such problems. Even when I came up with death and loss, he would argue for the possibility of immortality through technology. A story in the news Tuesday reminded me of this argument. A Connecticut man, Kyle Seitz, was charged with negligent homicide for the death of his 15-month-old son. He had left his son in the car for more than seven hours on a hot July day. The child died of hyperthermia. As a result of the unfortunate accident, Seitz’ wife has become an advocate for technology that can help prevent people from accidentally leaving children in cars. As tragic as the incident was, I could not help feeling a sense of repulsion. It just seems incredible that we need technology to help prevent us from accidentally killing children. I mean, I sympathize with the Seitz family. Their loss must have been devastating. Because these accidents are completely preventable, it makes sense that the mother would want to prevent similar tragedies from reoccurring. More than three dozen children die of hyperthermia annually in the United States, according to the New York Times. This is not a small number, given how preventable such incidents are. But I am uncomfortable with accepting that accidentally leaving children in cars in dangerously high temperatures are accidents that just happen. When one decides to become a parent, there are specific obligations and responsibilities that one agrees to engage in. These are not just things people can rid themselves of through some fancy technology. Though you can argue that by advocating for technology that helps prevent people from leaving children in their overheated cars, the mother is exhibiting an awareness of her responsibilities as a parent, I cannot see how this can possibly be true. It does not require technology for people to know they should not leave their children unattended in an overheated car for seven hours. To ask technology to tend to such basic responsibilities would indicate a dependency that’s contrary to what it means to be an individual free agent — a human being. In other words, no amount of technology can make up for one’s irresponsibility as a parent. So about the debate between me and my friend: I guess there are things technology cannot solve after all. nywu@indiana.edu

The sins of the father WE SAY: Unity is the way to end sexual abuse The first step to recovery is admitting the problem, and the Roman Catholic Church is confessing all of its transgressions to its followers. Cardinal Francis E. George released roughly 15,000 pages describing acts of sexual abuse committed by priests in the Chicago area, according to the New York Times. The documents include graphic descriptions of the priests’ conduct and church officials’ slow response in addressing several of the cases. All of the priests mentioned in the documents are no longer serving in the church. Though the release of these documents is a step in the right direction, in releasing these documents just days before his retirement, George should have made a greater
effort to express his motive behind his decision to release the information. Church leaders should also reform their institution to ensure that child sexual abuse never goes unpunished again. Additionally, while the archbishop said the church had formally identified the priests with complaints of sexual misconduct prior to the release of the documents, all of the men are no longer serving the church and 92 percent of the cases discussed happened before 1988. His decision to wait until now to release the information has deprived some of the child victims from seeking justice because of Illinois’ statute of limitations. Unfortunately, even if the victims pressed charges
against the abuser within the allotted time, the separation of church and state could have prevented the priest from being convicted. Intended to protect both religion and government from encroaching upon each other’s functions in society, the continual revelations of sexual abuse within the Catholic Church demonstrate the negative consequences of the division between two important facets of society. There have been reports of sexual abuse dating back to the 1960s, according to BBC News. However, the New York Times reported the United States did not formally try a priest in court until 1985. Conducting criminal proceedings in the Vatican is a strong step toward end-
ing sexual abuse within the ranks of the Roman Catholic Church. However, both secular law enforcement and the church must do more to swiftly address allegations of sexual abuse. Although investigations involve the risk of divulging information that the church may wish to keep secret, both parties must place their differences aside and realize that no amount of mystery or autonomy is worth the life of a child. The Roman Catholic Church has taken the first step toward addressing acts of sexual abuse among its leadership. Only time will tell if the entity will repent and realize the good of holding perpetrators accountable for their sins.

Hollywood should stop typecasting actors Robin Williams did it in “One Hour Photo.” Bill Murray did it in “Lost in Translation.” Now Steve Carell does it in “Foxcatcher.” What am I talking about? A typically comedic actor playing a dramatic role. And I love it. We tend to think of these three actors as lovable idiots, whether it be Williams in “Mork and Mindy,” Carell in “The Office” or Murray in “Stripes.” This is called typecasting, and though it is helpful in the movie industry, when it comes to making that green, it can also hold actors back by forcing them to play the same roles again and again. But every once in a while, we get a producer or director who thinks differently, who sees the bumbling dunce as capable of doing something
greater than smashing the proverbial coconut upon his head. Then, when the movie comes out, audiences are in shock. “Who knew Bill Murray could play a character with an IQ greater than his age?” “I did,” Sofia Coppola said, eyeing her Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for “Lost in Translation.” It’s really impossible for actors to not be typecast. Even when an actor does break out of the pigeonhole, it’s unlikely that this is for long. And the reason is money. Pleasure is in the familiar. Mainstream audiences want to see comedic actors cast in comedies and dramatic actors cast in dramas. There exists a clear divide between the two in the audience members’ minds. Any crossing of that threshold is
jarring. Thus, it is also financially risky. There’s no guarantee that audiences are going to react positively — that is, shell out beaucoup bucks — when they see somebody like Carell playing a mysterious benefactor/totalitarian wrestling coach. But when they see him in, let’s say, a sequel to “The 40 Year Old Virgin,” they hand their money over faster than they can shout “Kelly Clarkson!” So what I’ve noticed studios doing is, sure, making a couple movies like “Foxcatcher” or “One Hour Photo” to keep audiences intrigued, to get some indie cred, but then, after these movies perform fairly disappointingly at the box office, they turn around and make “RV” or “Night at the Museum” to make back
the money they lost. RILEY ZIPPER is a junior in English.
This isn’t always true. In the case of Bill Murray, for example, movies like “Lost in Translation” and “The Royal Tenenbaums” kind of shifted his typecast, which is now the old, depressed, funny-in-a-really-pathetic-way curmudgeon. I’m not necessarily criticizing Hollywood’s typecasting. I love “The Office” and “The 40 Year Old Virgin.” What I don’t love is when actors are forced into roles that don’t necessarily showcase the full extent of their talents. zipperr@umail.iu.edu

The United States is sending 1,500 troops overseas under the pretext of collaborating with Iraqi forces to stop the threat of the terrorist organization Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, also known as ISIS. After 13 years of military engagement in the Middle East, one would believe the U.S. and the American people would hesitate to place ground troops to orchestrate another counterinsurgency. Yet, here we go again. Regardless of President Obama’s best oratory skills reducing the gravity of America’s involvement in the Middle East against ISIS, the American public fails to realize we are choosing to engage in another war we simply cannot win. A military engagement in the Middle East against ISIS will result in defeat because the U.S. has lost credibility in the region. Since the U.S. entered Iraq, America has spent more than a trillion dollars, killed thousands of Middle Eastern troops and ultimately failed in stabilizing the Middle Eastern country. If history is an indicator of America’s ability to handle a counterinsurgency, it is vital the American people stop politicians from making the same mistake in the same nation. The U.S. will not win against ISIS because the terrorist group is now fighting with American military equipment due to mistakes made in Iraq. When the threat of ISIS first arose, the American government dropped military-grade weapons to Kurdish fighters trying to stop ISIS from taking northern Iraq, according to Al Jazeera. Due to a terrifying, yet predictable logistical mistake, two bundles of weaponry were dropped in the wrong location and at least one is believed to have been picked up by ISIS troops. Because the enemy is fighting with the same equipment American troops would use in war, ISIS now knows our weapons’ strengths, weaknesses and capabilities. Despite evidence that points to the imminent defeat of U.S. forces in Iraq against ISIS, the American people are as hungry for war as they were in 2001. A Gallup poll taken in September found that 60 percent of Americans support the use of U.S. military force against ISIS. In my opinion, strong support of intervening in Iraq can only be explained as an effect of sensationalized media and American ignorance. Although ISIS committed horrific actions against Americans, the media’s portrayal of the group oversimplifies the situation into an us versus them scenario. In actuality, many more countries around the world have much to lose should ISIS continue advancing. The American public should not be so ready to take on the burden of a war against a group that poses a threat to all, not just America. The U.S. does not have to be the hero in foreign policy anymore. Not only because it shouldn’t, but also because it will ultimately lead to 10 more years of war, trillions of dollars spent and another failed mission. caheredi@umail.iu.edu

VOLLEYBALL
Hitting percentage higher in Hoosier victory By Grace Palmieri gpalmier@indiana.edu @grace_palmieri
On each serve, Taylor Lebo tosses the ball so high it nearly hits the ceiling. Most players keep the ball a couple feet above their head, just barely out of reach. Rather than using a float serve, Lebo puts front spin on the ball. She started serving that way when she was 12 years old and playing on her club volleyball team. When she was younger, her coaches told her she’d never be able to serve that way in the Big Ten. Lebo now has 49 aces this season, second best in the conference. Five of those came in IU’s 3-0 (25-20, 27-25, 25-15) win against Rutgers on Tuesday night at University Gym. Lebo said she often works extra with the serve receivers during practice to perfect her serve. “Actually, yesterday was the first time I hit the beam at the top,” she said. “Tonight I was a little nervous I was going to hit that beam again.”
IU (15-12, 6-8) vs. Rutgers (7-21, 0-15) W, (25-20, 27-25, 25-15) Lebo finished with 11 kills and 14 digs. The Hoosiers improve to 6-8 in conference play with the win. In the first two sets Tuesday, senior Morgan Leach had 11 kills on 15 tries. She finished with 14 kills and a .591 hitting percentage. The Hoosiers had a .299 hitting percentage as a team after hitting .013 against Nebraska. IU Coach Sherry Dunbar-Kruzan said when her players gets stressed on the court, they don’t play their best. Tonight, they were able to stay calm and play more like themselves. “The past couple games we just haven’t been ourselves chemistry-wise,” Lebo said. “It was nice to have one, a win at home, and two, for everyone to come together and play well.” After the first set, Kyndall Merritt replaced Courtney Harnish at the libero position. Dunbar-Kruzan said the

decision was a combination of Harnish “not passing great” and Merritt, who had 10 digs in the match, excelling in practice recently. But she said the two are great friends off the court and are happy for each other no matter who’s on the court.
FOOTBALL
“Kyndall earned that tonight,” Dunbar-Kruzan said. In the second set, it was back and forth for 25 points. After 20 tie scores and 11 lead changes, the Hoosiers took the final lead 27-25 on a kill by junior middle blocker Chante George.
Junior outside hitter Amelia Anderson had 14 kills and seven digs. Lebo said the difference between tonight and a 3-set loss to Nebraska over the weekend was playing how they’re capable of playing, not to their opponent’s level.
The Hoosiers play in East Lansing, Mich. on Saturday. “I think we’re going to have a really good opportunity on Saturday,” DunbarKruzan said. “That’s all you can ask for is an opportunity. Then you gotta do something with it.”

IU running backs coach develops rushing game By Grace Palmieri gpalmier@indiana.edu @grace_palmieri
IU running backs Coach Deland McCullough describes himself as a player’s coach. He’s hard on his players, but they respect him. They know exactly what he expects from them. If they fumble, they know the consequences. McCullough and Coach Kevin Wilson have made it clear ball security is of the utmost importance. Fumble and you sit out. When junior running back Tevin Coleman fumbled in the first quarter against Michigan two weeks ago, he didn’t play until the end of the half. Wilson was questioned after the game about why he kept Coleman out for so long. Coleman is one of the best running backs in the nation, and it was a pivotal game for the then 3-4 Hoosiers. Wilson said it was McCullough’s call keeping Coleman on the sideline. That’s just part of the culture the running backs coach has built at IU. And for the first time since Wilson got to Bloomington four years ago, IU is a running team. “Guys have worked hard, took pride in how they practice and play,” McCullough said. “There’s a lot of pride about what we do.” When McCullough followed Wilson to IU in 2011, the two had known each other for years. McCullough played at Miami of Ohio from 1992 to 1995. Wilson was the offensive coordinator. McCullough finished his college career as the No. 1 rusher in school and MAC history.
McCullough worked in Cincinnati as a high school teacher and football coach and eventually worked in administration as a principal and athletic director. When he decided to make the jump from high school to college coaching in 2010, McCullough was hired at his alma mater. Not long after, Wilson recruited his former player to join his staff at IU. “I kind of knew what to expect as far as working with him,” McCullough said. “I knew (with) his background and his work with me, it’d be an opportunity to mold some good backs and be part of a great system.” Four years later, he’s seeing significant results. Last season, Coleman and Stephen Houston combined for 1,977 yards rushing. It was the first time in school history that IU averaged more than 200 yards rushing per game. Through nine games this season, Coleman and company are averaging 261 yards per game. That’s nearly 100 yards more than IU passes for each game. Coleman is second in the nation in rushing yards with 1,371 and averages 7.5 yards per carry. When asked about his success and getting national recognition, Coleman often gives all the credit to McCullough. McCullough said there’s always been a good “mojo” among the group, but this season his backs are showing it consistently in practice and it’s paying off on Saturdays. They can finally see the formula working. “Our thing is we always try to see who can make the most plays every day,” McCullough said. “So it’s competitive.
IU (3-6, 0-5) at Rutgers (5-4, 1-4) 3:30 p.m. Saturday, Piscataway , N.J. They are supportive of each other. They want each other to look good. They want the team to look good. They want the coaches to look good.” Coleman scored a touchdown in 15 consecutive games, including seven to start this season. His streak of nine games with 100 or more yards was the best in the nation. But the running game has experienced a decrease in production in recent games. Led by Coleman and senior D’Angelo Roberts, the running game excelled early in the season in an offense in which opponents focused on stopping quarterback Nate Sudfeld. An offense without Sudfeld has put additional pressure on the running backs. In the last three games, when IU’s point totals have gone from 17 to 10 to seven, both of Coleman’s streaks have ended. He rushed for just 71 yards in a 13-7 loss to Penn State. IU had 153 total yards on the ground. McCullough said while they aren’t producing the best numbers in recent games, his backs need to learn how to overcome the adversity the offense is facing as a whole and not let the pressure get to them. With three games left, IU needs three wins to make a bowl. The running backs will treat the last three like they have every other game this season. “We’ve always had urgency,” McCullough said. “Nothing’s changed with that.”
IU Athletics has an image problem right now, and it’s up to IU Athletics Director Fred Glass to fix it. For starters, college football season means something for every Division I University with a team. And in a “Power-Five” conference as storied and talentrich as the Big Ten, one would think selling out a 50,000-seat stadium would be cake. But that simply hasn’t been the case for the Hoosiers this season. Or any season since 2010, for that matter. That’s the last time the Hoosiers managed to sell out a home game at Memorial Stadium. To say the least, it feels like general interest in IU football is pretty low. This year’s defense poor, and the offense featuring Tevin Coleman would be scary if it weren’t hamstringed by injuries to both its first- and second-string quarterbacks. Given the fact that college football is arguably the most popular amateur sport in North America, that’s not a good look for IU, not with a 3-6 record coming off its fourth consecutive loss. And as Coach Kevin Wilson is now more than halfway through his fourth losing season at the helm, one has to wonder if the chain of command is as competent
as many thought. Glass is responsible for bringing in Wilson in 2011, as well as bringing in Tom Crean to clean up the basketball program after Kelvin Sampson metaphorically swan-kicked the school’s reputation right in the face. After two highly successful seasons, 2013 happened. The team produced a 17-15 record and no berth in the NCAA Tournament, as well as a first round exit in the Big Ten Tournament. Crean’s long-term viability as the Hoosiers’ head coach was questioned on a national level. That’s not even mentioning the off-the-court stuff. Last February, forward Hanner Mosquera-Perea was arrested for operating a vehicle while intoxicated. In April, guards Yogi Ferrell and Stanford Robinson got in trouble with authorities for using fake IDs. Then freshman forward Emmitt Holt struck fellow player Devin Davis with a vehicle, seriously injuring him in the process. Police report Holt had a blood alcohol level of .025 and Davis had also been drinking underage. Last Monday, reports surfaced that Robinson and forward Troy Williams failed drug tests. All of those events were nationally reported, and all of those events brought back
AUSTIN NORTH is a senior in journalism.
for IU Athletics the black eye it had done so much work to heal since Sampson resigned. Put simply, if Crean can’t take control of the school’s reputation, Glass must. It’s nice to talk about student-athletes’ rights and how much they bring to universities, but it’s just as important to recognize how their presence on and off the field affects a university from top to bottom. Meanwhile, IU’s soccer team is ranked No. 6 in the country and just advanced to the semifinal round of the Big Ten Tournament. Its baseball team won the Big Ten Tournament last year and made the NCAA Tournament. Men’s cross-country is ranked 20th in the country. The wrestling team has four top-30 wrestlers in their weight classes. The men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams are ranked 8th and 11th, respectively. But until football and basketball shape up, IU’s reputation will continue to circle the drain until it’s right back to where it started. aknorth@indiana.edu

Steve Wagschal, an executive committee member with BANIDS, said he is not confident that the count of the deer population that was previously done was accurate. “I think that they’re killing the deer for absolutely no reason,” Wagschal said. “They have never shown that there is an over-abundance of deer at Griffy Lake Nature Preserve.” The Joint City of Bloomington-Monroe County Deer Task Force counted the deer population by measuring the amount of deer droppings found around the Griffy Lake area. Vegetation diversity has been in decline because of the growing deer population — potentially harming the ecosystem around the nature preserve, according to the Deer Task Force’s report. Wagschal proposed
an aerial count, which he said he believes to be more accurate. Rogers said he wants to see other ways of controlling the deer population that are more humane and more effective. Though other residents spoke about other issues, the deer issues dominated the meeting. During the meeting’s two public comment sessions, residents voiced their opinions on the sharp shooting plan — mostly in opposition. Some in opposition made appeals to the council with science, others with an emotional plea. Many of the calls to find other ways to control the deer population around Griffy Lake were passionate, including two 10-year-old girls who presented a petition signed by 48 people from their school. Ryan Giles, a 42-year-old Bloomington resident, said he opposed the sharp shooting because it uses taxpayer money. “I just don’t like the idea of tens of thousands of dollars of tax money going to pay some guys to get up in tree stands and shoot fawns with sharp-shooting assault weapons,” he said.

Weekend has an advanced review of ‘Rosewater,’ Jon Stewart’s film opening Friday. By Ike Hajinazarian ihajinaz@indiana.edu | @_IkeHaji
There are a number of people in my life that I call my heroes. Some are personal, some professional, others just big-name figures that have had a big impact on my life. I would consider both Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert to be heroes of mine. These two can take the news happening around us, give an astute commentary on it and give it a twist of comedy that’s laugh-out-loud funny night after night. When I heard Stewart was tackling a subject as tough as foreign journalist imprisonment for his first feature-length film, I wasn’t skeptical. I knew Stewart had the chops, at least as a journalist and commentator, to take on a story like that of Maziar Bahari. Before I launch into the nitty-gritty nuances and flaws of “Rosewater,” let me start by saying that this is a
damn fine film. It takes courage and bravado to create a film like this. Some might pass it off as menial Oscar bait, but I think more highly of it. As a whole, the film works great, at least with its basic storytelling capabilities. It tells the story of Newsweek journalist Bahari, played deftly by Gael García Bernal, and his 2009 trip to Iran to cover the corrupt election of the country’s new leader. He becomes imprisoned in an Iranian solitary confinement cell on the charge of espionage and stays there for months, his body and spirit being beaten to a pulp with his ruthless and witless captors trying to coax a confession out of Bahari that doesn’t exist. The biggest problem with this film is that it’s hollow in a SEE ROSEWATER, PAGE 10

“Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare” takes place 40 years in the future.
Finally living up to the hype ‘Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare’ B+ “Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare” confidently walks the delicate line of bringing something fresh to a worn-out franchise while remaining true to its roots as a “Call of Duty” game. That’s not to say the individual innovations introduced in “Advanced Warfare” are entirely original. Many of the changes to the gameplay, with magnetic gloves, exoskeletons, invisibility cloaks, jet-packs and railguns, have been seen in other speculative fiction games. There are some leaps forward — the exoskeletons in particular deftly shake up what players have come to
expect. The jet-packs that come standard with the Assault exoskeleton allow for double jumping and temporary boosts while backpedaling or strafing. The removal of the near-exclusive focus on the ground results in faster, more frenetic combat and reduces the “camping” and slower movement of “Call of Duty: Ghosts.” If you aren’t moving in “Advanced Warfare,” you’re dead. The single player campaign starts in 2054. The gamer plays as Jack Mitchell, a former United States Marine hired by Jonathan Irons for his private military company, Atlas. And yes, Irons is played by Kevin Spacey, who turns in a decent performance. His casting, though, makes things a little too obvious later in the game. As his newest recruit, Mitchell is sent all around the world to investigate
the mastermind of a deadly terrorist attack. While the campaign itself is not particularly inventive, save for a few standout missions, there is a notably interesting plot twist. Online multiplayer returns in full force here and uses many of the same mechanics introduced in the single-player campaign. Thirteen maps are included in the base game, along with a fairly comprehensive create-an-operator visual customization and a vastly expanded “Pick 13” that is similar to that of “Black Ops II.” Experience points allow you to expand your load out, just like in every other “Call of Duty,” but that addictive feeling of progressing forward and unlocking new guns, gear and perks never really gets old. Quibbles with whether or not the game is using
dedicated servers and the occasional laggy death are sore points, however. Exo-Survival, the horde mode in “Advanced Warfare,” is a nice bonus and is very similar to the survival mode in “Modern Warfare 3.” Both online multiplayer and ExoSurvival support two players split-screen. “Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare” breathes new life into a formula that has shown serious signs of flagging. That being said, it does not completely leave the trappings of a “Call of Duty” game. Despite the occasional gimmick such as the gratuitous casting of Spacey and some of the multiplayer glitches, gamers who might have been turned off by previous “Call of Duty” titles might want to check this one out.

V.F.D. stood for “Very Fantastic Discovery” when Netflix announced Nov. 5 it will be producing an original television series based on “The Series of Unfortunate Events.” Under his pseudonym Lemony Snicket, author Daniel Handler provided the sardonic comment, “I can’t believe it. After years of providing topquality entertainment on demand, Netflix is risking its reputation and its success by associating itself with my dismaying and upsetting books.” It would be an unequivocal understatement to say I am elated about this. I count myself among those in our generation who grew a little bit more curious, snarky, morbid and indubitably verbose thanks to Lemony Snicket’s bestselling staples of children’s literature. If any form of punctuation would best capture my reaction, it would be the interrobang: a hybrid of the exclamation point and question mark to simultaneously express shock and confusion. I am most definitely in a flurry of excitement. In the typical Lemony Snicket fashion, I am also left with infinite inquiries. Let’s cite the sites of my excitement. Milling about the top of my list is that we can now pretend the 2004 film attempt did not happen. Yes, there was a lot of star power among the cast, including some showboating from Jim Carey as the nefarious and oft-disguised Count Olaf. Overall, it was exquisitely mediocre. This is partially because the narrative was
a haphazard mishmash of the first three books in one film that couldn’t fully render Snicket’s highly stylized storytelling. We’ve already seen television favor book adaptations with “Game of Thrones.” Episodic installments riddled with short- and long-term mysteries provide a form in which twists and turns may unfold. And now some of my copious quandaries. This will be a family show? These books are dark and bleak with multiple murders. Something similar had to be managed with the “Hunger Games” film adaptation, but there is a lot more dwelling on death in these books. Lastly, I’m quivering to know who will play Count Olaf, but I am more curious to see who will collaborate with author Daniel Handler. Perhaps I will tie a tightly rolled clipping of this column to the foot of a pigeon and train it to frequent the bird bath of a Netflix executive who may glance upon two suggestions I have. If they want to keep things in-house, there is always Jenji Kohan of “Orange is the New Black.” She knows how to playfully handle mixed tone and even looks like she could be an eccentric character from Snicket’s story world. Otherwise, Alan Ball of “Six Feet Under” and “American Beauty” may be up to the task. His dark comedy may be consistent with what Netflix and audiences want. With “True Blood” concluded, this could be his next project. Whoever it is will probably be walking among us with a specific ankle tattoo. Griffin Leeds
Nolan stuns with epic sci-fi blockbuster ‘Interstellar’ ‘Interstellar’ B+ The eternal void. The endless vacuum. The suffocating blackness. In other words, space. There is nothing more frightening than the fear of the unknown. Well, that and spiders, but that’s beside the point. The universe is just that: a vast stretch of unexplored planets, galaxies and many other anomalies that have yet to be seen, if they can be seen. That certainly hasn’t
stopped countless individuals from harnessing their imaginations and trying to capture the foreboding splendor and potential hostility of the darkness above. Hundreds have tried, few have succeeded. Christopher Nolan, the man behind “Inception” and the “Dark Knight” trilogy, stands only a hair’s width away from the latter with “Interstellar.” Set in a time where an anemic Earth is becoming more so with every passing day, with dust storms and dying crops being the norm, the ultimatum for humanity is dependent on a
barely existent NASA, which sends an ex-pilot father, Cooper, played by Matthew McConaughey, and his new cohorts on an expedition to find a hospitable planet for future generations. Shockingly, that’s easier said than done. Clocking in at just less than three hours, “Interstellar” is not a film to be taken in strides, nor is it another brainless sci-fi blockbuster. Though it’s not inaccessible, there are numerous instances where having a dictionary for space jargon wouldn’t hurt. Granted, you can barely hear a good portion of said
terms because they’re so buried in the sound mix or McConaughey’s gravelly voice. In fact, there are scenes where supposedly important plot devices are blatantly overshadowed by the sound effects and even the film score. “Interstellar” is also weighted by the paradox that, even with the film’s extensive running time, there are moments and sub-plots that seem rushed and poorly handled, leaving nothing but half-baked answers and cheap climaxes in their wake. Thankfully, the same can’t be said for the continuation and summation of the main
story, which provides a myriad of raw, unadulterated emotion, suspense, spectacle and jaw-dropping beauty. And speaking of beauty, when Nolan’s imagination kicks into overdrive, the blunt force and impact hits just as hard. When space and its supporting cast takes center stage, you don’t see it, you’re in it. Obviously best viewed in IMAX, the scope of the immersion and intensity of the space sequences are beyond comprehension and are undeniably the most essential parts of the entire film. What’s almost as
big, however, is the disappointing feeling when you find out those scenes are few and far in between. With those ailments aside, “Interstellar” is another satisfying triumph from Christopher Nolan’s broad array of exceptional ideas and talents. It’s a mind-bending, extravagant piece of cinematic art supported by equally impressive special effects, great acting and a whirlwind of an ending with an emotional impact that’ll shatter the rib cage and pierce through the soul. In layman’s terms, I liked it. Dylan Corbeill

Justin Willman, magician, actor, comedian and TV personality, is coming to the Comedy Attic at 8 p.m. tonight for a three-day run of shows. Partially made famous by his involvement with the Food Network, Willman works as a TV host for three of the Network’s shows: “Cupcake Wars,” “Cupcake Champions” and “Halloween Wars.”
A regular guest on “The Tonight Show,” “Ellen” and “Chelsea Lately,” Willman also hosts “Win, Lose or Draw,” a game show on the Disney Channel. Willman initially dabbled in magic at age 12 when he started playing with cards as physical therapy after injuring both his arms in a bike accident, according to an article written by Alex Murrey on IMDb.

There are also giant, 8-foot holes in the road that every day I swear I’m going to fall in and break my leg. And I’m leaving in a month. I can’t really think about what that all means yet. I’ll miss sweaty bus rides, dodging giant holes and the kindness of strangers. These little things make up a whole experience. I didn’t realize I loved this place until I realized how much I would miss these little things. Even the things I didn’t think I would. For now, all I can do is appreciate each day, savor these moments and lament that perhaps the hardest part of going abroad is having to go back home afterward.

ed to how different materials transpose into yarn to be knit or woven with. Gitlitz said there will be a variety of glass art forms for attendees to view, ranging from jewelry to torch work to different types of mosaics. “Glass requires more equipment than a lot of other art forms, so not as many people do it,” Gitlitz said. “If you look at Indiana, we’re the only glass guild. We have glass artists coming to us from all over the state.” Stone said though the groups’ interests varied, in the last 10 months of planning she has developed a close relationship with her fellow coordinators. “We did not want to change the base of our show,” Stone said. “All our potters are professionals, we have a membership process and they do their things. So they wanted to protect their interests, we wanted to protect ours. We’ve been working very well together and have become friends.” Stone said she is interested in examining her collaborators’ wares. “It’s going to be pretty amazing,” Stone said. “I was just so excited because I’m going to be able to see their shows for the first time. What I’d like people to take away is that we have some very dynamic and very talented artists that live in this area. The art scene is alive and well.” The show starts Friday with the opening ceremony, which lasts from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. On Saturday, the artists will display their work from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

In Rwanda, where there’s a will, there’s a way. I will miss the way people speak. If I trip on the bumpy hill by my house, I always get a sympathetic, “Sorry!” This also happens when I drop my phone and the case falls off. They don’t need to apologize for my own clumsiness, but it’s a nice gesture I’ve come to appreciate. I will also miss the hills. They’re the most beautiful thing about Rwanda. In the rural areas, they’re just steep and massive, all green and covered with banana plants or other crops. In Kigali, they’re covered with hundreds of houses, built right next to each other. At night, lights dot the hills like stars. Then there’s the things that aren’t so picturesque. Every time a toilet doesn’t flush, I want to curse everything. That happens a lot.

Three of Bloomington’s crafters guilds will come together Friday and Saturday for the first Artisan Guilds of Bloomington Holiday Craft Show. The Local Clay Potters Guild, Bloomington Glass Guild and Bloomington Spinners and Weavers Guild will join forces at the Bloomington Convention Center to show off their respective members’ wares and educate the public about their crafting styles. Karen Stone, president of the Local Clay Potters Guild, said the three groups have previously had holiday shows on the same weekend as one another but in distinctly different spaces. Last year, Stone said, the Local Clay Potters Guild faced a roadblock. “We had our annual sale over at St. Marks for maybe the last 12 years, and last year, when we went to set up, they told us they were remodeling,” Stone said. “We were just absolutely slammed. We thought: what can we do? People left because the lines were too long to pay.” Abby Gitlitz, president of the Bloomington Glass Guild, said she faced similar issues with her previous location. She said when Stone approached her about possibly combining their shows she took no issue with the idea. “We have too many glass artists now and last year it was really tight, so we said, ‘Woohoo, let’s all move,’” Gitlitz said. “Once we decided on (moving), we contacted the weavers. We said, ‘If two of us are moving, all of us are going to move and it’s going to be fabulous.’” Karin Lauderback, coordinator of the Bloomington Spinners and Weavers Guild, said the format of each show will not change too much
from past shows. “We all have our own rooms so the shows will be very similar to what people are used to but they have the opportunity to go from one to the other,” Lauderback said. The coordinators said in addition to the traditional exhibition, this year the guilds will provide attendees with live music and a café for drinks and lunch. The musicians playing are students from Bloomington North High School and Bloomington South High School. In addition to a café inside the venue, the Big Cheeze food truck will make a stop at the convention center. Stone said the vast array of crafts at the event will cater to all tastes. “You’re going to see both functional and sculptural ceramics,” Stone said. “We’ll be setting it up pretty much like a gallery or store.” In addition, Stone said, the spinners and weavers will display clothing items ranging from baby hats to winter wear while the glass guild will sell jewelry and other “whimsical” glass creations. The artisans said each guild will also provide educational workshops to help the public understand what goes into their respective crafts. Lauderback said the weavers would give out small starter sets for those interested in starting out in the weaving world. “I hope (attendees) come back with a different sense of what weaving is about, and we will have demonstrations,” Lauderback said. “We also have ‘Mug Rug Kits,’ which are little things for a coffee cup or glass. Primarily we’ll be giving them to children, but for adults that want to get into weaving, it’s a good way to start.” Lauderback said the educational material will be relat-
The other day was the one-month mark for my return home. In less than a month, I will be leaving this crazy, sometimes frustrating, and yet amazingly fulfilling place. There are so many things I will miss about Rwanda and so many things that I will not miss. Cold showers, for one. But the best part about this trip is that things can be annoying and frustrating. But after a while, they’re just funny. I’ve been trying to get my anecdotes and stories straight. The aspects of everyday life in Rwanda that are different and sometimes crazy are the things I will miss the most. First, the taxi motos. When people ride on the back of taxi motorcycles, there are seldom restrictions on what you can and cannot bring. I have, for example, almost been beheaded as a moto whizzed by with its passenger carrying an open backpack with several sharp tools. Other times, I’ve seen

» ROSEWATER
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 strictly cinematic sense. Foundationally, “Rosewater” is perfect. The story, based on Bahari’s 2011 memoir “Then They Came for Me,” is phenomenal and one that definitely deserves as beautiful of a telling as it can get. The issue at hand is that “Rosewater” is clearly directed by a rookie director — one that’s nose-deep in television news. Stewart doesn’t butcher the story of “Rosewater” in any way, but he doesn’t give it the literary and artistic integrity it’s just screaming for. The cinematography is simply kind of boring, the dialogue is clunky — the film really should have been in Farsi, Iran’s language, with subtitles — and the moments of heartache and despair that should have
been breathtaking drove on by like a car on cruise control. It gets the meat and potatoes of the story across with a definite attempt at artistry but, ultimately, it reads as a very good TV news package. All that said, “Rosewater” is still one of the best films this year. The real-life story of Bahari keeping hope through months in solitary confinement and the telling of his commitment to true democracy and the need for the audience to hear the stories that matter are both what make this film one that can’t be missed. It’s too important, too relevant of a story to miss. Stewart’s got better up his sleeve, he just needs experience to hone his skills. Let’s hope we get to see them in the future.

One of the greatest injustices of the modern era is the cancellation of “The Newsroom” so far before its due time. OK, maybe not one of the greatest, but it’s really tragic. HBO, one of the only television content creators still driving the medium forward in a constructive manner, is following its wallet. People don’t care as much about Aaron Sorkin’s brilliant drama, and HBO isn’t in the business of charity. But it’s still very unfortunate. “The Newsroom” is Sorkin at his absolute finest — rapid-fire dialogue between bold, huge characters commentating on the state of affairs in today’s media, with plenty of preachiness and editorializing, all while telling the epic tale of a man trying to get in touch with his true self in front of an audience of millions. And because it’s HBO, Sorkin doesn’t even have to censor or tone it down like he most definitely had to do with “The West Wing.” “The Newsroom” is raw, real and daring, all the while still being entertaining. But people are the worst, and they don’t tune in to shows that matter, shows

imagining how I’d be feeling in his shoes, though. The pacing felt slightly off — and in “The Newsroom,” pacing is everything. Maybe it was the fact that this episode, which centered around the team covering the Boston Marathon bombings, bounced around from character to character so often that I never quite got to enjoy them each long enough. The proverbial fire in the belly that I’ve become so used to felt more like a pile of smoldering embers at
times Sunday night. The cast, led by Jeff Daniels’ brilliantly portrayed Will McAvoy, did its job just fine — the same quality that we’ve grown to love. There were still moments, especially the wildly intense final dialogue cutting to a hard black, that restored my faith in the show. I’m just hoping Sorkin does this show the justice it deserves and finishes it as strong and powerfully as he started it.
Temporary confusion can befuddle, so be careful. Advance with caution. Know that you are loved.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Today is a 9 — Postpone expansion and travel. Don’t talk about finances if you can avoid it. Quiet productivity allows you to keep your eye on a speeding ball. Finish an old job. Think it through to the end. Collaboration can get romantic. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 9 — Postpone a discussion. Family comes first. Avoid reckless spending. Your strength is quite attractive. Don’t get stopped by past failures. Learn from them. Walk away from pushy salespeople. Make plans but don’t act on them yet.

2011 MacBook Pro 13” $700; 4 GB Ram; 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5; 250GB SSD. I upgraded the hard drive to a 250 GB Solid State DriveSSD ($180 value). It is super fast with the SSD, literally it is faster now than when I first bought it. I have never had a problem with viruses. I’ve had a hardcoverblack case with it since I bought it, so it has been protected at all times. I’ve never dropped it. I am the first owner. Everything will be wiped from the computer, and it will feel like a brand new computer, with a few blemishes. LOCAL PICKUP ONLY. Also, I’d be happy to let you test it out first, because I won’t be wiping the hard drive until I have a confirmed buyer. Example: It will open Microsoft Word in 2 seconds and photoshop in 4 seconds.
