NOW, THEIR TURN Indianapolis in solidarity with hundreds of marches worldwide

Students, professors organized bus ride to march on Washington

INDIANAPOLIS — More than 7,500 demonstrators gathered on the Statehouse lawn in Indianapolis on Saturday to protest President Trump’s inauguration and to hear activists and community organizers from across the state speak.

Many wore pink hats with ears to show solidarity with women’s rights movements. People sang “We Will Overcome” and “We Are One” in unison. They came bearing signs and T-shirts supporting women’s rights, Black Lives Matter, LGBT rights and environmental justice.

The rally was just one of more than six hundred rallies and demonstrations for women’s rights worldwide.

“It’s a big deal for us to be able to represent ourselves and to be able to show that we’re not going to stand by while other people tell us what we need to do,” said Mariam Ali from Indianapolis.

For Mariam, motivation to attend the Women’s March rally comes not only from her gender, but also from her religion, she said.

“As a Muslim I believe that everything happens for a reason, and whether it’s good or bad it’s good because God knows what’s best for us,” Ali said. “Hopefully this reason will be that it is allowing us to unite together and work together.”

Other attendees were not so optimistic about the next four years, and many expressed a fear of losing many of their civil rights.

“I think he’s going to try to take away our rights—some of our rights that we’ve already fought for,” said Ayana Stanley Jones, an organizer for Indy10 Black Lives Matter.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A once-in-a-lifetime chance to be part of a global protest brought a group of 56 IU-affiliated men and women of all ages together for a 12-anda-half-hour bus ride to Washington, D.C Friday night.

The charter bus they rented was full of law students, undergraduates, professors and others from Bloomington who were compelled to join hundreds of thousands of people for the Women’s March on Washington, and each went with their own reasons.

Third year law student Francesca Hoffmann began to organize the bus ride the day after the election of President Trump.

“I wanted to do something that would bring the IU community together and give us hope moving forward,” Hoffman said.

The bus was nearly full by the end of the week with a waitlist.

She said she saw the protest as a chance to use her privilege and be the voice for people, like the elementary-aged Latino and black students she used to teach in Florida and Washington, D.C., who could not be in Washington.

Hoffman said her favorite part of the march was seeing all the diverse groups unified under one cause.

“It was so inspirational and hopeful to see groups that would typically focus on their own agenda come together for others,” she said.

Many Maurer School of Law faculty helped students financially and community members donated food at a pre-trip rally Friday, Hoffman said.

Hoffman’s night culminated when Bloomington

Donald Trump sworn in as 45th president Emily Ernsberger emelerns@indiana.edu | @emilyerns

WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Trump was sworn in at noon.

The rain started back up at 12:01.

That did not seem to bother any of the thousands of people witnessing Trump becoming the 45th president of the United States on Friday.

He was, after all, there to say the power of democracy was in their hands.

“We are not merely transferring power from one administration to another, or from one party to another, but we are transferring power from Washington, D.C., and giving it back to you, the American people,” he said.

Like he had throughout his campaign, Trump spoke about an “American carnage” of extreme poverty,

poor infrastructure, depleting military force, corrupt educational system and a dangerous crime culture.

He continued to blame these problems on an inconsiderate federal government and promised to make America great again.

“I will fight for you with every breath in my body, and I will never ever let you down,” he said.

He described a nation depending solely on American workers, infrastructure revitalization and a stronger military focused on domestic defense.

“This is how you win,” a person in the crowd said.

Thousands of people gathered from the Capitol building down the National Mall to witness the historic event. Many supporters and spectators arrived in the wee hours of

Friday morning.

People in line for general admission to the inauguration talked about how they had been waiting since 4 a.m. just to be as close as possible when Trump became president.

Although there is no official number, the D.C. Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management estimated before the ceremony that between 800,000 and 900,000 people would be in attendance. This meant a large crowd would be there to celebrate the transition of power, but the crowd did not fill the whole mall.

Large swaths of white space remained in different areas like the half-filled pages at the end of the chapters of a book.

IU students attend inauguration of President Trump

By Lydia Gerike lgerike@indiana.edu | @lydi_yeah

WASHINGTON, D.C. — For a few IU students who were able to make the trip, a Friday morning lesson in civics took place at the United States Capitol instead of in their usual Bloomington classrooms. The swearing-in of President Trump offered an upclose chance to experience one of the most ceremonial days in the

American political cycle.

Senior Becca Silbar was positioned to report on the inauguration from the White House before the sun even began to rise.

“I really, really enjoy it, regardless of the politics behind it,” Silbar said. “It’s an amazing experience.”

As a production assistant for Fox News, Silbar has worked throughout election season to cover debates, rallies and the Republican National Convention.

She said her work has mostly focused on Republican events because Fox is more connected to the Republican Party.

“I feel like I’ve been there from the start,” Silbar said. “I was at the first primary, and now here we are at the end, which is kind of crazy.”

Silbar estimated she missed about a month and a half of school for campaign events but said she knowingly traded the classroom for real-world experience.

Silbar said Fox is a good company to work for because she is rewarded with better experiences the more she works for them. In the past she has escorted IU alumnus Mark Cuban for a show and delivered coffee to Vice President Mike Pence at the RNC .

“It’s really cool that before I graduate school I’ll have seven or eight television credits,” Silbar said.

Sophomore Hannah Kraus and

junior Nick Magers traveled to the East Coast for their own enjoyment.

“It was kind of a spur-of-themoment thing,” Kraus said. “It’s never like I’ve always wanted to go to an inauguration.”

Kraus said she found cheap plane tickets right after the election, and the couple were able to secure access to a ticketed area of SEE TRUMP, PAGE 6

All students welcome at Shabbat dinner

By Hannah Boufford hbouffor@umail.iu.edu @hannahboufford

Friends yelled across the room to one another while they waited for food to be served. The salmon-colored walls gave the room a light atmosphere, and the paper plates and bowls sat on tables. They would eventually be filled with matzo ball soup and more.

Some students at the Helene G. Simon Hillel Center had just been let out of Shabbat services, and others were still walking in the front door for dinner, organized by the Hillel Center every Friday night to allow students to engage with Jewish tradition.

Shabbat, according to Jewish belief, is the day of rest.

It is when God took a break on the seventh day of creating the world. It is observed from Friday at sundown to Saturday at sundown, and work is not allowed.

“We do that every Friday night because some students will do that every Friday night with their families at home, and we want the students to have that opportunity while they are here to be with their community and with their family away from home,” Rabbi Sue Silberberg said.

Students Max Gruenberg and Evan Weis explained, though the meaning of work has changed, it has become recognized as “creating a spark.”

Observers of Shabbat traditions are not allowed to do anything that would require this figurative spark, including starting a car, turning on an oven or turning on lights, Gruenberg and Weis said.

However, what one is permitted to do during Shabbat changes slightly based on denominations and personal beliefs.

“Judaism is very much about community and family, so I just love seeing everybody together and celebrating together,” Silberberg said.

Shabbat dinner attendees sat in large tables of eight to 10 people. The tables were covered in white plastic table clothes and had plates, bowls and utensils set at each spot. There were cups for water and smaller cups of grape juice as well. People in the room greeted each other around the tables and waited for dinner to begin.

Starting dinner with a blessing, guests wrapped their arms around each other and placed their hands on each others’ heads. Though looking a little uncomfortable at first, each table eventually shared smiles and laughter while holding onto one another.

The participants sung another blessing, Kiddush, over their cups of grape juice which stood in for the traditional wine used. The longer the prayer went on, the more people joined in to sing.

juice, attendees tore apart challah bread with their hands, and matzo ball soup was served not long afterward. Around the tables friends laughed as they tore apart the bread in haste and asked who wanted to serve the soup.

Sitting at her table, Michaela Simon, a freshman at IU, said she enjoyed the piece of bread she had just ripped off as her bowl of soup was

passed to her. She has been attending Shabbat dinners at Hillel since the beginning of the year.

“It’s fun. It’s really chill,” she said. “You can forget about how hard the week has been and just laugh.”

As dinner went on and students reconnected with each other laughter echoed in the room. At Simon’s table there were banter and jokes about loving brisket.

IU bicentennial events planned From IDS reports

In anticipation of IU’s bicentennial and the 50th anniversary of the Hutton Honors College, the HHC is putting on three new events for this year. The events are a part of a series called “Many Worlds, One Globe.”

“The scope of ‘Many Worlds, One Globe’ is broad, spanning from diverse cultural customs to international matters, and ranging from artistic to scientific subjects,” said Andrea Ciccarelli, dean of the Hutton Honors College.

The series will include lectures, courses, workshops and other special events for several years, but for 2017 there are three events highlighted, according to an IU press release.

Kay Redfield Jamison, professor of psychiatry at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, will lead a discussion on mood disorders and artistic creativity at 4 p.m.

Feb. 2 in the Whittenberger Auditorium.

Jamison is a researcher and author of books like “An Unquiet Mind: a Memoir of

Mood and Madness,” which examine depression, mental illness and mood disorders.

Sarah Koenig and Julie Snyder will also be speaking at an event at 5 p.m. on March 31 in the Whittenberger Auditorium as well. They are cocreators of the award-winning podcast “Serial.” Their talk, “Binge-Worthy Journalism,” will be followed by a questionand-answer session.

Finally, Irshad Manji, founder of the Youtube channel, Moral Courage TV and author of several books, will visit IU on Oct. 2 and 3. She

will speak at a lecture on Moral Courage TV and a public talk on “The Gender Dilemma and Public Life.” She has had a successful career in the Canadian television and printed press and has focused on the role of diversity in current society and the moral courage it takes to defend different ideas and opinions in our society.

The exact times and locations for Manji’s talks will be announced at a later date.

All events are free and open to the public.

Muslim Student Association open to all

By Kelly Evans evanskn@indiana.edu | @knickele5

This past weekend, sophomore Luma Khabbaz joined millions of others across the nation in the Women’s March in Chicago. Khabbaz, like many others, she said, embraced her many identities — she is a woman, a student, a daughter, an aspiring journalist and a Muslim — while at the march.

“More than ever it’s important for us to unite with these groups,” Khabbaz said.

After being involved in IU’s Muslim Student Association her freshman year, Khabbaz is now a board member and the public relations chair for the organization.

IU’s MSA started roughly six or seven years ago, junior and Vice President Aatif Basher said.

“It was just like a small group of friends,” Basher said.

Now, the MSA is host to a variety of different events, ranging from weekly prayer services to social events. One of the main goals of MSA is to incorporate and market to more than just those of the Muslim faith.

The association allows anyone interested in the organization the opportunity to participate and gain membership, according to its online constitution. Due to the political climate members stress the importance of inclusion and unity.

“When the election was done, we sent out a Facebook post and an email saying we’re here for you guys, you know, if anybody has any issues or concerns or just want to talk about anything that’s going on, please feel free to contact any one of us,” Basher said.

The MSA also wants to increase diversity within the group. Sophomore and

The Muslim Student Association is often host to social events and prayer services on campus, but it is also seeking to expand its activities and collaborate with different organizations such as Habitat for Humanity in 2017.

social justice and philanthropy chair Laamia Hussain said the group received some criticism from black members, who started using #BlackInMSA on Twitter to the point it started trending.

“It was basically just black students talking about the way they were treated in the MSA and how they didn’t really feel like they fit in, so one of our focuses this previous semester was increasing the diversity in MSA,” Hussain said.

One way Hussain has tried to increase diversity and spread the word about the organization through her position is through the collaboration with different student groups at the MSA’s functions.

Hussain said for her first event she reached out to various organizations like the African Student Organization, Arab Student Association and more.

“We came together and basically just talked about how we celebrated holidays within Islam based off of our own cultures and stuff,”

Hussain said.

The MSA has taken advantage of campus events and common areas on campus to gain exposure. Islam Awareness Week takes place every year at the end of March. Last year Basher said the group received genuine attention from students.

“We did a lot of tabling at popular spots around campus, like Woodburn, around Kelley, at Wells,” Basher said.

“People came up to our booth and were able to talk to us about our faith compared to their own and even try on a hijab and see what it’s like.”

Khabbaz said the group is hoping to transform this year and this semester in light of recent political and social activity. Part of this transformation comes especially in collaboration with one different groups and people.

“Alone we can’t solve Islamophobia or homophobia,” Khabbaz said. “The more identities you attach to someone the harder it is for them to thrive in a society like this.”

Also taking place in March is the MSA’s first interfaith project with Bloomington’s local Habitat for Humanity chapter. Senior Adviser Fariha Hossain said the inspiration for this project goes back two years ago, after three Muslim students at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill were shot and killed.

Hossain said the deaths were still being investigated and authorities were unsure if it was a hate crime, but since the group was involved with habitat for Humanity, he said his chapter wanted to honor them by helping as well.

The MSA will work with other religious student groups to be host to a fundraising dinner in Alumni Hall in relation to the project.

The dinner is set to take place March 5.

“We’re trying to grow and expand our horizons and do a lot more this year and last year than we did in the past,” Basher said.

At this dinner, challah bread, matzo ball soup, chicken, brisket, green beans, potatoes and more were served for students, with extra servings available in the kitchen if any table needed it. The food was served family-style, where dinner goers take what food they want from larger bowls at the table.

“There’s always going to be enough food,” Simon said.

At Hillel, even students

who are not Jewish are welcome to join the center for services and dinner, Silberberg said. The center highly encourages students of all beliefs to come and experience others’ traditions, she said.

“The more we learn and respect one another, the stronger of a community we’re going to have,” Silberberg said. “Not just a Jewish community but a stronger world.”

IU professor studies air pollution effects across state borders From IDS Reports

Research from an IU professor has concluded companies are strategically placing their factories in locations where wind will carry pollution across state borders.

Davis Konisky, associate professor in the School of Public and Environmen- Davis Konisky tal Affairs, compared 16,211 facilities in the United States that create air pollution to 20,536 sites that produce hazardous waste but not air pollution, according to an IU press release.

“When you look at the location of major sources of air pollution, they are more likely to be nearer to downwind state borders, when compared to similar industrial facilities,” Konisky said in the release.

The research establishes that, by strategically placing factories at state borders, companies are able to gain benefits of jobs and tax revenues and push the negative air pollution to neighbor states.

States have long complained about pollution rolling in from factories in neighboring states, according to the release.

This was one issue the Clean Air Act intended to address; however, the regulation of air pollution falls primarily to the states.

According to the research, states can be less interested in managing the air pollution levels of factories

outside their borders.

Konisky’s research attempted to answer the question: who decides where the factories are placed? Is it the business owners and operators?

Or is it the state and local government?

They both have incentives.

State and local governments, using this strategy, are able to bring jobs to their citizens and protect them from harmful effects of air pollution.

Businesses are able to avoid opposition from those who are against the factories being so close to their homes.

However, the research concluded it may be a mixture.

States that have less strict environmental policies or pursue aggressive economic development are more likely to engage in this strategy, suggesting governmental influences.

Meanwhile, it’s also popular in states with many organizations, which suggests businesses may be interested in avoiding local opposition.

The study was titled “Gone with the Wind: Federalism and the Strategic Location of Air Polluters,” and was published in the “American Journal of Political Science.”

James Monogan, assistant professor from University of Georgia, and Neal Woods, and another professor from the University of South Carolina were also authors involved in the study.

IU students win business pitch competition From IDS Reports

IU students took the top three positions in a business pitch competition Jan. 12 organized by Bloomington Economic Development Corp.

The competition, Demo Day, is the culmination of the B-Start pre-accelerator program, where students pitch their novel technology businesses and their business plans to judges, according to an IU press release.

“Starting a business is no easy task, and what we’ve shown these students is that Bloomington has the people and resources to support them through that process,” said Dana Palazzo, vice president of the Bloomington Economic Development Corp., in the release. “BStarters also bring an energy to our local startup ecosystem that revitalizes and challenges even our most seasoned entrepreneurs to think outside the box.”

The competition, which is in its second year, is between IU and Ivy Tech Community College student entrepreneurs. Judges listen to students’ pitches for five minutes before reviewing their business plans.

Judges on the panel were Tony Armstrong, president and CEO of the IU Research and Technology Corp.; Jim Silberstein, chair of the School of Business at Ivy Tech; and Rob Dorocke, vice president of global information technology strategies for Cook Medical.

The winner of the competition was senior finance student Zachary Burr. His pitch was for a subscription-based and on-demand laundry and dry-cleaning service in Bloomington. His first-place prize was $2,500.

Coming in behind Burr was senior informatics student Christopher Podlaski.

He cofounded Plant Software, a web-based scheduling platform. He won $1,500.

“Starting a business is no easy task, and what we’ve shown these students is that Bloomington has the people and resources to support them through that process.”

Dana Palazzo, vice president of the Bloomington Economic Development Corp.

In third place was junior entrepreneurship and international business student Wes Wagner, whose company uses a platform for finding, using and managing freelancing students for intern-level work. His winnings were $500.

There were a total of 9 student companies that participated in the competition. They were provided mentorship, coaching, consultations and informational sessions for their budding businesses before Demo Day. Sponsors for the event included IU’s Innovate Indiana initiative, Cook Group and the Gayle and Bill Cook Center for Entrepreneurship at Ivy Tech.

After their founders’ graduation, business ventures from the B-Start program continue participating in workshops and developing networking opportunities.

“B-Start gives students an opportunity to work side by side with veteran entrepreneurs,” Joe Carley, IU’s associate director for economic development, said in the release. “Within two short years, we’ve seen several B-Start businesses begin to make an impact on the region’s economy, and the potential exists for exponential impacts as they continue to grow and more B-Start graduates emerge.”

IU student walk-out halts classes with mixed reactions

By Joy Burton joyburt@umail.iu.edu | @joybur10

“No Trump. No hate. No KKK. No fascist USA” students, one with a red and white bullhorn, shouted together as they walked from the classrooms of Ballantine Hall to the freshly-painted hallways of the O’Neill Center.

A walk-out on Friday, in protest of Trump’s inauguration, halted class instruction and interrupted studying students as protesters chanted anti-Trump slogans past classes with thin walls.

Protesters came inside classrooms to encourage students to skip class in protest.

The protest began in the commons area near the elevators in Ballantine Hall, freshman participant Cassiday Moriarity said.

From there protesters marched through four floors of Ballantine Hall and went to Showalter Fountain. The group continued through Woodburn Hall, the Global and International Studies building, Wells Library, the O’Neill Center and Hodge Hall.

They began with a little more than thirty people, and participants came and went throughout the walk-out, Moriarity said. It took place from about 10 a.m. to 11:10 a.m.

Moriarity said the group shouted chants such as “Education not deportation” and “Hands too small, can’t build a wall.”

“Some people were clapping and cheering us on,” Moriarity said. “Other people were shouting at us to be quiet and leave them alone.”

During the walk-out, the chants of marchers were not only heard in the hallway but inside classroom doors.

Freshman Legene Robinson said her class was interrupted by a girl bursting in and yelling “Fuck Trump, skip class,” a distraction her teacher had to recover from.

Robinson said one friend’s class was halted by the sharp bark of a bullhorn. Robinson had been invited beforehand to join the protest but chose to go to class instead.

Other students encountered the same in their own classrooms.

“It’s just odd hearing someone come in and start yelling ‘fuck Trump’ in an anatomy class,” junior Aish Thamba said.

Steven Dora, a former student at IU, helped plan the walk-out and said he

supported the interruption.

“Protest requires elements of disruption,” he said.

“A protest without disruption is the same as sitting home in silence.”

Students were informed of the protest through word of mouth, online flyers and social media. Moriarity said she thought it looked like a good idea.

“With everyone else talking about the issues with Trump and being very active in it, I felt like it was important that I take a stand,” Moriarity said.

Freshman Shyam Raman was interested in the walkout when he was told about it by a colleague and saw it on the online flyer. However, accounts of the actual walk-out made him glad he had a class on the other side of campus at 10 a.m., he said.

“I understand that solidarity is important, but disruptive protest is not the means to make change,” Raman said.

Thamba, who also chose not to participate because she had class, said she feels ambivalent about the walkout. She said she felt the interruption was inappropriate and walk-outs simply don’t have as much power as other methods of making change.

“Students need to go farther,” Thamba said, “By talking to representatives, politicians and finding other ways of fulfilling our civic duty that accomplish more than just raising awareness.”

Meanwhile, sophomore Tabitha Espiritu said she wished she had been there and said it is her right as an American to participate.

“This is the best way to

show voters Trump represents not just voters, but everyone,” she said.

Moriarity said the walkout was more to her than just making a scene. According to her, it was her first time protesting. Though she’d stood silently at rallies before, this was the first time a cause led her to skip class, make a statement and march against hate, she said.

“Finally I was able to be myself and stand up for what I believe in,” Moriarity said.

She said she sees the inauguration of Trump and Pence as a direct threat to her rights and the rights of others. She is a member of the LGBT community, she said.

“It scares me that I could, in the future, not be able to love who I want to love,” Moriarity said.

LUCAS LETS LOOSE

Editors Dylan Moore and Zack Chambers opinion@idsnews.com

EDITORIAL BOARD

National security breeds fear Lucas Robinson is a senior in English and political science.

On Saturday President Donald Trump blathered at Central Intelligence Agency Headquarters in Langley, Virginia, and called the media “some of the most dishonest people on earth” to a crowd of cheering CIA officials. Said to the most thuggish and deceitful organization within the national security state, a government that relies heavily on national security action, the comment had a palpable irony.

When examined in its totality, the national security state has upheld a system of class domination from Texas to Zaire. According to the Guardian, has a consistent modus operandi of violence and oppression against any economic or democratic alternatives to capitalism and its structures anywhere in the world. It is a true mafia don, breaking the legs of anybody that tries to do things differently on his turf.

The national security state funded death squads in Nicaragua in the 1980s and blackmailed many black leaders in the 1960s and 1970s. It violently installed Mohammad Reza Pahlavi in Iran in 1953 and peacefully removed Australia’s prime minister, Gough Whitlam, in 1975. Though its actions may appear contradictory or foolish, each example listed exhibits a consistent policy of crushing democracy to preserve capitalist domination.

With the seizures of Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guam and the Philippines from the Spanish in 1898, the architecture of the globalized security state maintained by the United States took its contemporary shape.

From that point forward, U.S. troops were deployed across Latin America and Southeast Asia to preserve U.S. interests and prevent the people of these nations from obtaining economic independence.

Don’t take my word for it.

Read this incredible quote Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler, one of the most decorated Marines in U.S. history, wrote in his book War is a Racket: “I spent 33 years and four months in active military service, and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in ... I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested.

“Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.”

By World War I the U.S. already waged domestic counter-insurgency against its own citizens. These efforts are known as the Red Scare and the Palmer Raids of the late 1910s. The operations targeted trade unions and other radical workers’ groups underwent surveillance, violence and mass arrests.

An early target of the security state during the Red Scare was Indiana-born leader of the U.S. Socialist Party Eugene V. Debs. When Debs urged workers to resist the military draft and halt the production of weapons in factories, thenPresident Woodrow Wilson had him imprisoned on sedition charges.

Upon his conviction, Debs issued the following credo to the court, “Your Honor, years ago I recognized my kinship with all living beings, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on earth. I said then, and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it, and while there is a criminal element I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.” luwrobin@umail.iu.edu

Obama made the most of last days Commuting Chelsea Manning’s sentence, Obama tried to change our perception As one of the final acts of his presidency, Barack Obama commuted the 35year sentence of convicted whistleblower Chelsea Manning.

The editorial board views this as a last-second attempt by the former president to change our perception on how his administration dealt with whistleblowers.

Manning was sentenced in 2013 to federal prison for leaking 750,000 classified, confidential and unclassified diplomatic and military documents through WikiLeaks and is set to be freed in four months instead of in 2045.

At the time an Army

intelligence analyst serving in Iraq, Manning released the documents because of concerns about the United States’ presence in the country and ignited a firestorm of public debate.

The Obama administration’s record on transparency and whistleblowers is suspect at best.

The administration prosecuted more leak cases than every other administration in history combined, and Manning’s last-second commutation was a surprising course reversal for the departing president.

This is also unexpected given the administration’s

record regarding other transparency and whistleblowing issues.

While promising to be the most transparent administration in history, open document access Freedom of Information Act requests were also denied at the highest rate in history.

The Associated Press reported open access requests took longer to complete and were less likely to be approved. In nearly a third of the cases that were denied and later challenged, withholding records was deemed improper in the first place.

The tough crackdown on whistleblowers and

limiting of access to government documents was matched by a massive expansion of the U.S. government’s online surveillance capability that was revealed by leakers such as Manning and Edward Snowden.

During Obama’s presidency, government agencies such as the National Security Agency developed and used techniques to collect information, including phone metadata, internet history and email contact information, on millions of American citizens.

These techniques and technologies do not leave with the Obama

administration, and concerns of civil rights advocates that these powers, meant for investigating terrorism, could be abused by the state to target activists or political opponents remain relevant whoever the president happens to be.

Taken together, the Editorial Board has to view Manning’s commutation in the light of the administration’s actions during the last eight years.

DeVos must do more for the disabled

Women march forward

Betsy DeVos’ committee hearing was terrifying and not because of her suggestion that schools in Wyoming might need guns to fend off grizzlies. For students with disabilities the real threat has nothing to do with hypothetical bears; rather, it has to do with DeVos and the educational system.

DeVos’ unsatisfactory responses to questions about the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act suggests educational opportunities for students with disabilities are not at the top of her priority list. Her comments signify an incomplete knowledge of IDEA and fail to address a current and potentially landmark Supreme Court case, Endrew F. v. Douglas County School District, that considers IDEA with relation to private education.

The case involves parents who enrolled their child with autism in a private school that specializes in instruction based on applied behavioral analysis methodologies, shown to be effective

for autism.

The student showed progress through this method of instruction, but the public school system refused to fund and implement applied behavioral analysis services for the student. In response, the parents sued for tuition funds of $70,000 annually.

The Supreme Court case fundamentally contests the level of services that the law requires the government to fund. The interpretative debate about IDEA’s elusive clause “free and appropriate public education” calls into question whether private education can substitute for public services.

The suit’s ties to private education have a certain degree of irony given DeVos’ unconditional and unyielding support for school choice programs.

If the Supreme Court rules in favor of the parents’ suit, proponents of school choice programs could use the outcome to promote services provided outside of the public system. It could prove

an opportunistic moment for highlighting how a private option was superior, if more costly, for this particular student.

However, the case also presents the troubling possibility that public schools might not be required to implement services within their system if private options exist. Such a prospect is additionally problematic because the law has minimal regulatory power in private schools.

The phrase “free and appropriate public education” does not mention private education.

School choice may sound like a positive and liberating option for education, but, for some students, the programs only serve to decrease educational possibilities.

When we consider school choice programs, we also need to consider who is actually making the choices. kmilvert@indiana.edu

The day after President Trump’s inauguration, millions of marchers for the Women’s March on Washington gathered in the capital and in many other cities around the world to create an atmosphere of solidarity against hatred.

As sexism charged the 2016 presidential election, Americans aware of prejudice waded through the misogyny and wondered how reality had been twisted into cartoonish proportions.

However, the implicit — and often explicit — hate against women was no mistake. Neither was the victory of a definitively misogynistic man against the first female presidential candidate from a major political party. It was a direct response to fears of equality, empathy and solidarity manifesting itself in a palpable wave of hateful mistreatment of all “othered” people.

The Women’s March and its sister marches represent more than a stand against a president in the hours after his inauguration. At its core, it reminds us of the political power of feminism to erase hate and the unifying strength of activism.

An estimated minimum of 500,000 marchers gathered in Washington, D.C., alone Saturday.

The sister marches that took place around the world had an estimate of just fewer than five million attendees.

Cities across the country had marches, and bigger events occurred in Los Angeles; New York City; Chicago; Seattle; Portland, Oregon; Boston; Denver; and Austin, Texas. Hundreds of

other marches, from gatherings in the snow of Utah to the streets of Tennessee, took place.

Outside the U.S., marches took place in Mexico, Canada, Spain, France, Italy, Australia, New Zealand and Brazil.

Solidarity even reached the South Pole, where CNN reported Saturday that scientists and tourists sailed through Antarctica’s waters with signs in solidarity to advocate for environmental and scientific causes.

Recently, reporting from Slate chose to treat feminism as a club, not a political movement, and aggregated traditionally surmised “women’s issues” under a conflated definition of feminism by publicizing Texas’ New Wave Feminist group and its removal from the Women’s March registry for pro-abortion rights and antiabortion.

In spite of faux forecasting, feminists, women and their allies gathered in historic fashion Saturday. They gathered in a celebration of themselves, their neighbors and the American principles they believe in.

They gathered in a promise to work harder to accept critiques of those whose adversities are compounded by race, creed and orientation, and follow the direction of those who know best. They gathered in a vision for the future.

Citizens protest inauguration

By Jack Evans jackevan@indiana.edu | @JackHEvans

They came clad in black hoodies and wore black bandanas over their faces.

They, numbering a few dozen antifascists, leftists and those generally discontented with the states of popular politics and popular protest, gathered in People’s Park.

“We encourage everyone to bring their bravery and rage with them,” read the flier posted around campus this week for the “Take the Streets Against Donald Trump and His World” march.

Many didn’t want to identify themselves and several wouldn’t speak to press at all.

A man who gave his name as Sam held up an effigy of President Trump.

One side showed Trump’s face, a small hand reaching out to his side to grab a model of the earth, a sign taped to his chest reading “Groper in Chief.” The other side resembled not Trump but a fish — a grouper, a bit of wordplay.

“I think the symbolism is pretty inherent,” Sam said.

At the corner of the park, a man with most of his skin covered by a hoodie, bandana and blue latex gloves distributed fliers of Trump’s face with “THE PROBLEM” stamped on it.

He gave his name as Mark F. — spell it “however you want,” he said — and said though he sees importance in nonviolent protests like the “Inaugurate the Revolution” rally earlier in the day, he doesn’t necessarily believe those are enough to stop what he sees as an encroaching — or arrived — wave of fascism.

“It’s important in Bloomington to fight any way we can,” he said.

Somewhere in front of Kilroy’s Sports Bar, the first firecracker went off. The march had started in earnest on Kirkwood Avenue.

The protesters flooded into the street and moved at a brisk pace.

Rally for unity after inauguration draws hundreds Friday

Protesters lit a smoke canister outside Sample Gates on Friday to signify the end of their protest.

the enthusiasm of camp counselors: “No Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA”; “The people united will never be defeated”; “Fuck the police, fuck Donald Trump.”

Some carried signs or banners, emblazoned with slogans such as “For FREEDOM from the American Dream” and “Let’s Become Ungovernable.”

Others whistled, banged on buckets or darted along the sidewalks and adorned cars with fliers and parking meters with stickers that said “Please don’t feed the pigs.”

The vitriolic back-andforth with bystanders had come early. “We love Trump!” a pair of men taunted from the Cubs flagdraped window of an apartment at the Rubicon.

The protesters marched down Kirkwood onto Walnut Street. A firecracker launched from the middle of the crowd, and people cheered as it whistled up and burnt out.

Moments later, a protester hung back from the crowd and turned to face traffic and held it up until others could convince him to return to the group.

Then a flurry of motion, a series of pops and the front of the IU School of Informatics and Computing building on Walnut was speckled with bursts of

white paint.

“You collaborate with the NSA!” someone shouted.

The march turned onto Eighth Street, and a handful of black-masked protesters broke off from the group, wheeled a dumpster from the side of the German American Bancorp, Inc. building and tipped it over at the next intersection. It sent trash into the street and drew honks from motorists.

Paint balloons were lobbed at the Monroe County Justice Building.

Trash cans were dragged into the street. People on the sidewalk cheered, gawked, scowled. Protesters lit and tossed firecrackers and flares while bystanders hurled swears and slurs.

“Why would you destroy property?” one bystander asked a protester. “It’s worth more than you.”

“I wonder if some of these people actually were paid to be here,” someone on the sidewalk said.

A ripple moved through the crowd as someone suggested police may be following the march somewhere in the dark without sirens or lights to announce them.

“Cops not welcome,” the chant went before turning

to a smattering of “Fuck Kilroy’s” as the march passed the Kirkwood bar.

The protesters reached the street’s terminal intersection with Indiana Avenue, but the end of one road would not dissuade them for a few more minutes.

The march continued through Sample Gates and onto IU’s campus. Someone at the back of the march capped it by setting off a smoke canister in front of the gates.

In front of Franklin Hall, the crowd stalled and fractured.

“Can they follow us in here?” one protester wondered, referring to the police.

The protesters lingered for a moment, pulled down their masks and introduced themselves to one another.

Then some chose one path, toward the Indiana Memorial Union, and the others another, toward Dunn’s Woods. They went, for the first time this night, their separate ways, and their black hoodies bled into the darkness.

One man, Trevor Moore, 23, was arrested by police after reportedly throwing a brick through the window of the Old National Bank building on Kirkwood Avenue and inciting vandalism.

“No Work. No School. No Shopping.”

This is the slogan that grabbed the attention of about 400 people who gathered for the Inaugurate the Revolution march and rally Friday in response to the inauguration of President Donald Trump.

More than 500 people were signed up for the event on Facebook, and several hundred attended the workshops dedicated to injustice and resistance throughout the day.

“The election really separated people,” IU freshman Eries Smith said. “The rallies just show that there’s still hope for unity, and togetherness and understanding one another and working together to achieve a common goal for the good of all.”

The event was initiated by sophomore Stanley Njuguna, who said he got the idea when he saw some flyers on the internet from anti-fascist groups calling for a general strike Jan. 20.

“People are waking up,” Njuguna said. “It’s up to us.

Popular movement is the only thing that can overcome Trump’s agenda.”

The march began at 5:15 p.m., when marchers gathered with friends and signs in the lawn of the Monroe County Courthouse.

Njuguna started chants with a megaphone, and the rest of the marchers followed his lead.

“They told us that this was gonna be a bad day, that it was gonna be a sad day.” said Joe Varga, faculty member in the IU Division of Labor Studies and one of the event organizers. “It’s not. It’s our day.”

The marchers made their way around downtown before settling at Buskirk Chumley Theater for the rally, an event full of speeches and performances.

There were 13 people

on the list of speakers and performers for the rally that began at 6 p.m. in the theater.

Participants of all ages filled every seat and lined the walls.

“The most important thing is that there is power in collective action,” Rebecca Waldrop, a graduate student, said. “When people get together like this and they make noise like this, and they make noise in a way that is a unified voice, we have so much more power than we think we have.”

The only way things ever change is when people stand together, Varga said, and the crowd was standing together during the rally.

Members of the audience were told to clap, snap and stomp their feet or yell out when speakers said anything they agreed with. Several times during speeches, the audience was told to stand up and yell along.

“Rise up!” “Life, freedom, equality!” and “No justice, no peace!” were among the few sayings that were shouted throughout Buskirk Chumley Theater.

“Fighting isn’t just about fists or guns or bombs,” Alice Corey, a speaker, told the audience. “Those things are weapons, and we have so many more weapons than just those. We must arm ourselves with all manner of weapons.”

Corey talked about both tangible and intangible resources. She spoke about access to food, water and shelter and went on to discuss our access to education, experiences, skills and ideas.

Njuguna, being the initiator of the event, was the last to give a speech to the crowd. Introduced by Alexandria Hollett, Njuguna went onstage ready to help create some change.

“The revolution starts now,” Njuguna told the crowd..

As he ended his speech balloons fell and the Jefferson Street Parade Band walked through the audience and onto the stage to end the rally.

Anti-abortion, pro-choice movements clash Sunday

By Alexa Chryssovergis aachryss@indiana.edu @achryssovergis

Anti-abortion and proabortion rights protesters clashed at the Bloomington courthouse square Sunday afternoon after an inauguration weekend filled with prowomen, anti-Trump protests.

About 100 anti-abortion proponents gathered on the square at 2 p.m. for a rally planned by the Bloomington group Christian Citizens for Life.

The group’s supporters identify as pro-life. While they gathered near the courthouse to listen to a priest and a doctor talk about the sinful and wrong nature of abortion, supporters of a woman’s right to choose began to congregate on the edge of the square and held signs high.

“You don’t care about us or our babies before or after,” one sign read.

“Stand with Planned

Parenthood,” another read.

The anti-abortion rally coordinator, Scott Tibbs, said every year near the anniversary of Roe. v Wade — the landmark Supreme Court case that established a woman’s right to abortion — the group has a “Sanctity of Life Sunday.”

This year, the rally happened to fall on the exact anniversary of the court case.

It also fell the day after the nation was swept by mass protest in the form of the women’s marches, where women and men across the country rallied against President Trump and his policies that jeopardize female rights.

A recent New York Times article said the march in Washington had three times more people than Trump’s inauguration.

The significance of CCFL’s anti-abortion protest in light of the women’s marches was not lost on many attendees.

Some pro-lifers, such as recent IU grad Emily Mansfield,

were offended when organizers of the Women’s March on Washington removed New Wave Feminists, a pro-life group, from its list of partners on its website.

“I’m honestly very grieved that women believe a proabortion stance is a pro-women stance,” Mansfield said.

“I just want to witness to the fact that life and love — those are the true values that’ll help women.”

Mansfield, part of IU Students for Life, said pro-abortion guidelines of the feminist agenda exclude a great number of women that want their fellow women to have safer, healthier lives.

Megan Simmons, an IU grad student, said given the current political climate, where women’s reproductive rights are in jeopardy, the choice to exclude pro-life protesters from the march was the right one.

“I feel like there is a time and a place for everything,”

said Simmons. “I unapologetically support the rally, the Women’s March, being prochoice.”

Pro-life protesters were quiet after the speakers finished, and they began their march down Walnut Street, across Second Street and past the Bloomington Planned Parenthood. Talk of President Trump filled some marchers’ conversations.

“We didn’t have all the counter-protesters last year,” a man said as he was walking down Walnut Street.

“I feel like it has a lot to do with Trump and the women’s marches,” a woman answered him.

The marchers included women, men and children, many of whom were holding up signs. Some were shaped like stop signs and said “Stop Abortion Now.” Others read, “Lord forgive us and our nation.”

When the group reached the Courthouse again,

pro-choice sign-holders were still there on the edge of the square.

Onlookers shouted out their windows and slammed their horns as they drove past. The protesting remained calm, but there were bits of terse conversation exchanged between those whose ideologies conflicted.

“My body, my rights,” a woman yelled from across the

street.

“Your body,” someone responded.

“What about the baby’s body?” a pro-life protester shouted.

A few minutes later, the my-body-my-rights woman was back.

“Hey, guys, this is my body,” she said. “So you can go ahead and keep your politics off my body.”

“That was very special,” Hoffman said. “They said they wanted to pass them to the next generation of leaders.”

Jeanette Heidewald, senior lecturer of business communications at IU, said she decided to march to cope with the outcome of the election.

“The sadness that I felt made me feel like doing nothing, which I know was the absolute wrong action,” Heidewald said.

She realized she had to march to protect Obama’s progressive vision for the future of the United States, she said.

“I knew that I had taken it too lightly that we would always have democracy,” Heidewald said.

After the protest, she said she and Shelli Yoder, a Kelley business lecturer and 2016 Democratic candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives, were honored to march with the young freshman women that went. The businesswomen were pleasantly surprised to find out the freshmen thought the same about marching with them, Heidewald said.

Heidewald wore a shirt from the Rose Resistance, an old World War II movement she said her IU-alumnae daughter have been trying to revitalize in Los Angeles and across the nation.

The most memorable part of the Women’s March on Washington for Yoder was recognizing she was involved in a global movement, she said.

“To be a part of something like that is indescribable,” Yoder said. “It’s inspiration to work harder in the days ahead.”

Yoder said she was there to march for women’s rights,

Along the vast expanse of the mall, ideologies clashed just as they had during election season.

A small crowd clapped as a camouflage-clad young man told a group holding anti-deportation signs that they were wrong. Trump only wanted to free the United States of all the bad people who are now allowed to cross the border, he told them.

“Sorry, dude,” someone else said to a grumbling Hillary Clinton supporter. “Sorry it happened.”

Despite the possibility of rain ruining his artwork, another young man showed his patriotism with face paint — one half blue with white stars and the other half red and white stripes.

Some people draped flags over their shoulders to assure other attendees that he or she supported the U.S., Trump or Israel. Others used their makeshift capes to let their neighbors know they would not be tread on.

Magers had attended Trump rallies in the past, but of the two, Kraus is more politically involved.

She likes to keep up with the news and regularly attends meetings for College Republicans at IU, she said.

In the past election, she was an election judge at Union Street Center and made sure everything was fair and nonpartisan.

Even so, she still recognized how different attending the inauguration was.

“This is the most intense thing I’ve done politically,” she said.

Her support for Trump came after her first-choice candidate, Marco Rubio, dropped out of the race before the Indiana primary, she said. As she entered the voting booth on primary day, she knew she had to make a decision between Trump and Ted Cruz, Kraus said. Ultimately, she chose the man who would go on to become president. She said she felt confident in her decision as she walked out of

“I believe in what this country stands for and continuing to be a beacon of democracy for all and not just some,” Yoder said.

Sam von Ende, another law student, helped Hoffmann plan the trip to the march.

Unlike many first-time marchers on her bus, von Ende said she began protesting back in high school.

Since then she had showed support for major causes like Standing Rock and a climate march in New York City.

“I thought it was a very powerful way to start off the work of the next four years,” von Ende said.

She said she felt the Former Democratic nominee for president and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was present at the inauguration not completely hiding her discomfort watching her vanquisher. She was accompanied by her husband, former President Bill Clinton. Presidents Jimmy Carter, George W. Bush and Barack Obama were also present with their respective wives.

Trump took no stops to throw indirect punches at his predecessors. He suggested they did not care about Americans and do not act on their words.

“He isn’t a politician,” someone in the crowd said.

“He’s a true statesman,” a stranger responded.

Trump cited the Bible to say that good happens with unity and concluded by saying his promise to bring power back to the citizenry can only be achieved with cooperation.

“When America is united, America is totally unstoppable,” Trump said.

Lydia Gerike contributed reporting the voting booth.

“I just went with my gut and hit the button,” Kraus said.

Magers said he was drawn to Trump because the former businessman didn’t always stick to the typical political correctness most candidates have.

The two said they consider themselves to be part of the silent majority.

The couple said they felt the atmosphere in Bloomington is much more hostile toward Trump supporters.

In contrast, the inauguration crowd wanted to celebrate its new leader, they said. It was a pleasant surprise for them to see people wearing their Trump gear out in the open.

Magers typically avoids wearing his Trump hat at IU or back home in Indianapolis for fear of being misinterpreted as a bigot, he said.

“You never know what look you may get or what someone may say or think of you,” Magers said.

He said he may consider pinning his “Hoosiers for Trump” button on his backpack, but Kraus said she thinks she will continue to keep her ideals to herself.

They sent her photos of a march in their own country. Even though there were only a few hundred people there, von Ende said the message was the same.

Freshman Gabriella Brannock only found out she was going to the march earlier in the week. As Hoffman’s stepsister, Brannock said she was asked to fill in for an empty seat. After her parents okayed the trip, she packed up her Hillary Clinton pantsuit socks and readied herself to march.

“As a black woman I have faced racism,” Jones said. “I faced abuse from men and men saying things like ‘you’re pretty for a black girl.’”

Many men also came out to show support the Women’s March and stressed the importance of male involvement in women’s rights movements.

“It’s kind of ridiculous that women aren’t treated the same as men,” Colin Nesbit from Indianapolis said. “If

As a student at the Kelley School of Business, she said she hopes one day to own her own sustainability consulting practice without the fear of being compared to her male peers, she said. Where men are usually seen as bosses, women can sometimes just be dismissed as bossy, she said. In addition to fighting sexism in the workplace she marched for policy changes like maternity leave and equal pay, she said.

Although this was her first protest, Brannock said she felt confident in the crowd.

“I knew the women marching alongside me would stand up for me, and I would stand up for them in any situation,” Brannock anyone tried to take away any men’s rights there would be rioting in the streets and things would be on fire.”

Brett Morgan, a sophomore at IU-Purdue University Indianapolis, said he didn’t know why the march wasn’t important to everybody, regardless of gender.

“We’re all born from women,” Morgan said. “I mean, I find reproductive rights extremely important, women’s representation, everything.”

Anna Sullivan had even less time than Brannock to prepare for the bus ride to Washington, D.C. After a lastminute cancellation, Brannock turned to Sullivan, also a freshman in Kelley, to fill the seat to the march.

Because she didn’t know when the next opportunity like this would come along, she decided to take it, Sullivan said.

“I threw some things into a bag, did what I had to do that day and hopped on a bus,” Sullivan said.

Sullivan said she had no political involvement before this election cycle, but she quickly realized the gravity of the situation on Election Day. “The Trump presidency is the one that’s going to carry

us into adulthood,” Sullivan said.

As she left Bloomington with activists who were as young as herself and others who had entered their 70s, she said she began to feel an excitement she carried throughout the march, along with her sign that read, “Girls just wanna have funding for Planned Parenthood.”

Sullivan said many protesters were thankful to the volunteers and cops helping protect them, and she thought the march was a peaceful but powerful protest. There were no reported arrests from the Women’s March on Washington.

“You think, you hope, that someone’s going to hear and someone’s going to take notice,” Sullivan said.

“I came here to feel as one with everyone — to know I’m not alone,” Gross said. “So I’m spreading glitter for girls to spread hope and love and just know no one is alone.

We’re all here. Whether it’s mental, physical, spiritual, we’re all here.”

Signs bore slogans such as “Tell Trump: It is Unamerican to ban Muslims,” “Our rights are not up for grabs.

Neither are we” and “Pussy grabs back.”

“I think one of the biggest things is just to be there for people who feel forgotten,” said Lily Schwab, a sophomore from Ball State.

Former Hillary Clinton campaigner Terri Siler organized the event. Speakers encouraged unity, determination and community.

“Maybe we got a little complacent in 2008 because we elected a black president, and it’s like ‘oh, we’re post-racial,’ but this election showed us we have so much further to go as a nation,” said Dana Black, a 2016 democratic candidate for the Indiana House of Representatives. “To see all these people out here lets me know that there are a lot of people that are fired up.”

FILLING IN

IU holds off late rally against Michigan State, Blackmon scores 33 points in 82-75 win

By Andrew Hussey aphussey@indiana.edu @thehussnetwork

Junior guard James Blackmon Jr. had all the answers Saturday.

Fresh off hitting a game-winning shot to beat Penn State, Blackmon had his biggest scoring game of the season and matched his career high with 33 points.

His offensive explosion helped IU’s fast start before the Hoosiers ultimately had to hold off a late rally from Michigan State to defeat the Spartans, 82-75.

Blackmon started his scoring early in the game, and IU’s offense sizzled from the opening tip.

Blackmon said he knew before the game began he would play well.

“Probably in warmups,” Blackmon said. “I felt like I got a good warmup in and then after my I hit my first shot.”

The sharpshooter opened the game six-forsix from the floor and hit the first four 3-pointers he attempted.

IU Coach Tom Crean said Blackmon’s offense flowed from his play on the defensive end.

“It started because of the defense,” Crean said.

“They all had big assignments, and certainly he did. He did a really good job. He has a memory of two years ago how they came after him and picked

on him on the defensive end and made it hard from to get the ball.”

Late in the first half, IU was able to expand its lead to 17 points behind 50-percent shooting from 3-point range.

fellow Hoosiers.

“It makes it easier for all of us,” Johnson said.

“When he’s hitting shots like that guys have to try to make a plan to stop that even more, and it just opens up that much more

“They all had big assignments, and certainly he did. He did a really good job. He has a memory of two years ago how they came after him and picked on him on the defensive end and made it hard from to get the ball.”

Junior guard and teammate Robert Johnson said Blackmon’s ability to shoot from nearly anywhere changes how other teams defend him and opens up looks for his

things for us.”

For the majority of the game, IU’s offense looked as crisp as it had been in victories against Kansas and North Carolina earlier in the season.

A big part of that offensive success was IU’s lack of turnovers. The Hoosiers only turned the ball over nine times against the Spartans.

“I think we did a good job of moving the ball, making the simple plays,” Johnson said. “Our offense got into a rhythm early, and I think it carried throughout the game.”

IU opened the second half as hot as it was in the first. The Hoosiers blitzed the Spartans out of the break and were able to get out to a 20-point lead.

However, Michigan State rallied and pulled to within just four points late in the game before freshman guard Devonte Green hit a layup to stabilize IU.

“I thought Devonte’s basket late was really important,” Crean said. “For a guy that’s playing late minutes in a situation like that might not have been doing that earlier.”

Unlike in Wednesday’s game against Penn State, IU didn’t need a gamewinning shot to save itself after letting a second consecutive lead slip late.

“I think Wednesday really prepared us for a game like this,” Johnson said. “We pulled it out at the end Wednesday, but I mean there were some things we definitely needed to improve on, and I think today we did a much better job of weathering the storm and finishing the game.”

Carmel native, transfer Zach McRoberts does the little things for Hoosiers in win

By Zain Pyarali zpyarali@iu.edu | @ZainPyarali

To see how valuable transfer sophomore forward Zach McRoberts is to the IU men’s basketball team, you have to go beyond the point total.

The 6-foot-6 Carmel, Indiana, native earned his second start of the season Saturday against Michigan State in the wake of sophomore forwards OG Anunoby’s and Juwan Morgan’s injuries.

While there’s no possible way for McRoberts to make up for the size and strength of Anunoby and Morgan, he was able to out-hustle the Spartans and create second-chance

points and turnovers in IU’s 82-75 victory against Michigan State.

“We know what Zach can do, and that’s why we’re confident when he’s out there,” junior guard James Blackmon Jr. said.

“He brings so much to the table. He brings that energy and does the little things that we need.”

McRoberts was thrown into a major role against the Spartans and responded.

He finished with five rebounds, three assists, two steals, one block and made his one and only shot, an elbow 3-pointer, with 15:30 left in the second half.

After averaging just 10 minutes of play through the first six conference

“No matter how many

minutes, I think guys are ready,” McRoberts said.

“Coach Crean always talks about playing on demand, so I was ready to play however many minutes.”

McRoberts played at Vermont his freshman year and averaged 4.2 points in 27 games as a Catamount.

After his first year of collegiate ball he decided to drop basketball completely and come to IU for his sophomore year just to take classes.

McRoberts decided to get back into basketball after a year removed from organized competition and walked on to the IU team this season. He said in his time away from the game he played a little bit

of basketball just to stay in shape but nothing serious.

On Saturday he played an important role in the Hoosiers getting above .500 in conference play.

“Definitely from where I was a year ago to now is definitely a special opportunity for me,” McRoberts said. “The coaches have been great, the players have been great in my transition back, so I want to thank them. It’s just been a great opportunity.”

While McRoberts only had three points on the afternoon and has shot the ball just 17 times all season, the Hoosiers were far better with him on the court SEE MCROBERTS, PAGE 11

WRESTLING

Hoosiers fall to Golden Gophers, 0-3 in Big Ten

By Ryan Schuld rschuld@indiana.edu | @rschuld

In the Hoosiers’ first home match in more than a month, IU dropped to 0-3 in the Big Ten after a 28-9 loss against No. 11 Minnesota.

The Hoosiers surrendered three technical fall losses to open the match. The losses put the team in a 15-0 hole IU was unable to dig itself out of.

Although the Hoosiers were unable to get their first Big Ten win of the season, 184-pound senior No. 6 Nate Jackson and 149-pound senior Chris Perez moved to 3-0 in Big Ten competition, and 174-pound freshman No. 17 Devin Skatzka picked up his first Big Ten win.

Perez is known for slowing matches down and making his opposition wrestle at his pace, which he did during his match. During the sevenminute match only six points were scored, and four of them went to Perez.

Perez picked up a takedown in the first period and an escape point in the third and earned a riding time bonus point to earn the 4-2 victory.

While Perez prefers to go at a slower pace, Skatzka prefers

to go fast.

Skatzka picked up four takedowns and three escape points en route to an 11-8 decision victory against Minnesota’s Chris Pfarr.

Jackson said he, Perez and Skatzka all overcame adversity in their matches today.

“Devin has been working on finishing his matches a little better,” Jackson said.

“Today he was met with that adversity, and he overcame it. Chris has been working on winning those close matches because he tends to wrestle a little closer. He is finding ways to finish on top.”

Jackson moved to 22-2 on the season with a win against Bobby Stevenson by a score of 10-4. He picked up four more takedowns to increase his total to 99 on the season. He’s surrendered just nine.

Although Jackson got the win, he said he wasn’t pleased with how he finished the match.

Jackson said he needs to hold himself more accountable with his diet and he is really feeling the grind of the season right now. The Illinois native said not finishing the match how he wanted is only somewhere to build and look forward to going forward.

Senior Nate Jackson wrestles against Minnesota on Sunday afternoon in University Gym. Jackson defeated Robert Stevenson, 3-0.

“You know when you are cheating on your diet a little bit, or ‘I’ll do this,’ or ‘I’ll do that,’ or ‘I’ll get the weight off later,’” Jackson said. “It’s just about holding yourself to a higher standard right now because your goals are more important than the instant

gratification everyone wants.

Right now, for me, is to just make sure I am doing those right things.”

IU Coach Duane Goldman’s Hoosiers will look to continue to build and move forward next week as they prepare for two Big Ten matches.

The first match will be at Northwestern on Friday, and IU will welcome Nebraska at 2:00 p.m. Sunday to University Gym for the second.

“Duane has a great quote — ‘Unless you push yourself and deserve to win, don’t be surprised when you fall short

of your goals,’” Jackson said.

“So that quote I am trying to integrate in my own life everyday. When I know I am doing those right things, I will deserve to win. I need to do those things if I want to win some big matches that are coming up.”

SWIMMING AND DIVING

Men keep rolling, women bounce back against Purdue

By Ben Portnoy bmportno@iu.edu | @bportnoy15

Saturday’s meet saw another strong showing for the IU swimming and diving teams. The Hoosiers traveled to Purdue for a rivalry meet and came away with a 182.5117.5 win on the men’s side and a 155-139 victory for the women. The men won 12 of 16 events on the day, and the women won 10 of 16.

The pair of wins stretched the men’s team’s record to 10-0 on the season, and the women now sit at 7-3.

“I think it’s just another confidence booster going into this weekend against Louisville,” junior diver Jesicca Parratto said. “I thought

it was great.”

Sophomore Vini Lanza backed up his pair of wins against Michigan with a win in the 100-yard butterfly and teamed up with senior Bob Glover, junior Ali Khalafalla and sophomore Ian Finnerty to win the 200-yard medley relay.

Junior Blake Pieroni continued to rack up wins for the Hoosiers as well. He captured the 100-yard breaststroke for the first time in his career with a time of 54.66. Pieroni also won the 50-yard freestyle and joined juniors Josh Romany, Oliver Patrouch and Khalafalla for a win in the 400-yard freestyle relay.

“You know, Vini and Blake are studs,” head swim coach

Ray Looze said. “They’re consistently winning week in and week out.”

Mid-year transfer Mohamed Samy helped IU as well in just his second meet as a Hoosier. The sophomore joined IU at the start of the spring semester. The Egypt native won his first two individual collegiate events in the 100-yard freestyle and the 400-yard individual medley.

The men’s divers faced stiff competition from 2015 NCAA 1-meter and platform dive champion Steele Johnson of Purdue. IU sophomore James Connor gave Johnson a run for his money in the 10-meter platform dive but ultimately fell short of the Purdue star’s 436.60 with a

score of 423.0.

In the 1-meter springboard IU lost to Johnson again, but junior Michael Hixon finished second and Connor finished third.

On the women’s side, senior Gia Dalesandro performed well for the Hoosiers for the second consecutive week. She won the 100- and 200-yard butterfly, the 200yard individual medley, and th e 200-yard medley relay with juniors Ali Rockett and Kennedy Goss and sophomore Lilly King.

“I think people really stepped up to the plate,” Dalesandro said. “There were some really great swims by people that were kind of unexpected. Every-

IU junior Raheel Manji said it was going to be essential for the Hoosiers to be victorious in the first dual matchup of the season.

Manji said two match wins in the first weekend of competition would not only look good on the record but would also give the team confidence and show what IU men’s tennis could accomplish this season.

On Saturday IU accomplished its goal of picking up opening-weekend wins as it went on the road to beat both Bryant and Dartmouth, 4-0 and 6-1, respectively.

The Hoosiers were strong in

doubles play in both matchups and even came back from being a set down in two of their singles games against the Dartmouth Big Green.

“It was great to get the season started,” IU Coach Jeremy Wurtzman said. “We have been preparing very hard and been very detailed in our practices in our preparation for the last couple of weeks to get ready for the season.”

IU faced Bryant in its first match Saturday, and in the doubles play IU began displaying its superiority by coming out on top in all of the three matches.

Freshmen Zac Brodney and Bennett Crane won their match first 6-3, and

really think our depth showed through,” Looze said.

For the women’s divers, Parratto and senior Michal Bower demonstrated their one-two punch ability by finishing first and second respectively in the 1-meter springboard. Parratto, the 2015 NCAA champion in the 10-meter platform dive, won that event as well.

“I mean, Michal is one of my best friends, and it’s so awesome to see her doing so well and going back-to-back, one-two,” Parratto said. “It’s just such a great feeling, and I know how hard she works and it’s obviously shown.

She’s been the best she’s ever been so far, and I think she’s just getting better and better.”

Two of the unexpected finishes were from freshman Cassie Jernberg and senior Stephanie Marchuk, who finished fourth and fifth in the 1,000-meter freestyle.

Senior Bailey Pressey’s second place finish in the 100-yard backstroke was also critical, and Looze said backstroke is a thin race for IU at the moment.

King again dominated the breaststroke events this week. She won both the 100and 200-yard events with NCAA B-cut times in each.

sophomores Afonso Salgado and Oliver Sec won by the same score. Senior Stefan Lugonjic and sophomore Antonio Cembellin had more difficulties but were still able to clinch the win.

In singles play Cembellin led the Hoosier lineup at position one. Despite not being able to finish his match due to the rapid two-set victories of his teammates at positions two, five and six that clinched the match for IU, he said he was happy for the opportunity.

“Playing at one was my dream since I came here,” Cembellin said. “When you come here to IU you fight for SEE TENNIS, PAGE 11

Western Michigan match more than a match for Azcui family

By Dylan Wallace dswallac@iu.edu | @Dwall_1

When IU women’s tennis faced off against the Western Michigan Broncos on Saturday, it was no ordinary match.

Not only was it the first dual match with IU Head Coach Ramiro Azcui at the helm, but it also saw his daughter, Western Michigan sophomore Denise Azcui, return home to battle the team her dad coached throughout her childhood.

Ramiro coached his daughter since she started playing tennis at the age of 9.

With her father serving as an IU assistant for her entire life, Denise grew up in Bloomington and attended Bloomington High School South. It was there that, in her junior and senior years, she won two consecutive state titles in 2014 and 2015.

“My dad has been one of the biggest influences for me in everything, not just tennis,” Denise said. “He’s never stopped pushing me to be a better version of me. Winning those state titles was one of my best memories, and he was always there cheering me on.”

The father-daughter duo has always looked for ways to improve Denise’s game. Her freshman year of high school, she lost in the quarterfinals of the state tournament. The next day they went to the courts to change her strokes.

“I have always been about technique,” Ramiro said. “She received all the information that I gave her, and she was always willing to work. We had a great working relationship.”

As high school was coming to a close, the decision on where she would play collegiate tennis was a hot topic in the Azcui household.

“Growing up I always dreamed of playing at IU,”

Denise Azcui, daughter of IU Coach Ramiro Azcui, receives a mental attitude award at the Indiana High School Athletic Association state finals. Denise, a sophomore at Western Michigan, played against her father’s Hoosiers this weekend and lost to IU senior Kim Schmider 6-4.

Denise said. “It was hard leaving, but in the end it was the best thing for me. I definitely needed to get away and start on my own and really figure out who I wanted to be.”

Despite playing collegiate tennis in a different state Denise said she is still extremely close with all her family. It helped that her father was in total agreement with her decision not to play for IU. “During the early recruiting process Denise and I talked about the advantages and disadvantages of playing at Indiana,” Ramiro said. “We both decided that it would be better for her to go her own route and find her own path through college.”

With that agreement between the two, Denise went on to choose Western Michigan. Coincidentally, her first match as a Bronco was at the 2015 Hoosier Classic at IU, the same place she had her very first lesson with her dad.

The Hoosiers and Broncos have met several times since then, but Saturday was the first time with Ramiro as IU’s head coach. During the match Ramiro purposely avoided his daughter’s side of the court because he said he didn’t want to coach against her.

“This was a hard match for me, Denise, the players

and the fans, too, because all of them know me and my family really well so it was a bittersweet match,” Ramiro said.

This was also the case for the youngest Azcui, 9-yearold Blake, who was torn between rooting for his dad and his sister.

“It’s hard because I want my dad to win his first head coaching match, but then my sister is doing so great too so I also want her to win,” Blake said. “A good day for me is when my sister can win what she can win and my dad can coach what he can coach and hopefully they both win.”

Blake got one of his wishes.

The Hoosiers came out on top 7-0 against the Broncos to give Ramiro his first win as a head coach in dual match play. Despite Denise losing to IU senior Kim Schmider by a final of 6-4, she said on a day like that there is something more than winning and losing.

“Getting to play against my dad is always special,” Denise said. “I think for both of us it’s not about a win or a loss. Obviously we both wanted to do the best we could to win, but at the end of the day we’re not going to remember who won or lost. We are going to remember this special moment that we get to share together.”

During the opening of the “Quilts of Southwest China,” attendees stop to look at the many quilts in the Mathers Museum with curator Lijun Zhang.

Museum shows Chinese quilts

By Sanya Ali siali@indiana.edu | @siali13

The exhibit opened Saturday afternoon with the smooth rhythm of a traditional Chinese instrument flowing through the exhibition room, filled with walls and walls of carefully stitched quilts in a variety of colors and patterns.

The musician, Zixuan Wang, played the pipa, a Chinese string instrument, for a crowd of around 50 community members and visitors from China.

After the brief concert “Quilts of Southwest China” opened to the public. The show, a display of textiles ranging from decorative to functional, is the culmination of a binational initiative by a range of partner museums both in the United States and China.

Lijun Zhang, an alumna of IU with a Ph.D. in folklore, said the quilts come from a variety of museum collections and demonstrate an inspired collaboration.

“As you can see from the exhibition, these quilts are very different from the word ‘quilt’ in traditional American quilting,” Zhang said.

The word for “quilt” in Chi-

nese is actually an umbrella term used to describe different types of cloth, baby carriers, hats or any other item of quilted design.

Zhang said one of the challenges she faced with this exhibition was bridging the gap between the meaning of a quilt in American contexts and the broader definition given to the Chinese term.

“Those items made with quilting techniques such as piecing, applique, patchwork, we call all of those items by that term in Chinese,” Zhang said. “We tried to use the accurate word in this exhibition.

It’s not just a translation of language. It’s also a translation of culture.”

Another challenge was working with so many museums across countries to create this bilingual exhibition.

Project partners for this exhibit are Yunnan Nationalities Museum, Guangxi Museum of Nationalities, Guizhou Nationalities Museum, Michigan State University Museum, Museum of International Folk Art, the International Quilt Study Center and Museum, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, the American Folklore Society and the Chinese Folklore Society.

“We had a lot of coordination work in the curating process,” Zhang said. “We have quilts from different museums, we also had different professionals collaborating in the project. Within each museum, we did collaborative work between different people in the museums and, at the same time, the different museums need to be coordinated.”

The music played as an introduction to the exhibition also contributed to the feeling of cultural bridging, Zhang said.

“In China, pipa is the traditional instrument, so it’s very different from Westernstyle instruments,” Zhang said. “The music expresses emotions through the performance, also that carries a story — up and down, down and up. A lot of musicians actually have stories behind them.”

Wang, vice president for public relations in the Chinese Calligraphy Club at IU, said she has been playing the pipa since third grade. She trained through eleventh grade, when she came to the U.S. and continued to play.

She said her feelings about playing fall in line with how the music connects to her and

the audience.

“It’s not nervousness,” Wang said. “It’s like a connection. Each song has a different meaning behind them.”

Wang said she was impressed once she saw the quilts go up for this exhibition.

“I heard of these quilts before the winter break, and then I was so amazed by this beautiful exhibit we have at IU,” Wang said. “I only saw them in the book, and now I really see the actual things and they become more connected to my life. They remind me of life back in China.”

Wang said her bedcovers had a similar sort of design, though they are simpler than many of the ornate flower and color patterns of the quilts on display at Mathers.

Jason Baird Jackson, director of the Mathers Museum of World Cultures, said the students and staff at the museum contributed greatly to the success of the exhibit.

“One of the best things about the work of a university museum is the special relationships that these institutions develop with students,” Jackson said. “Dr. Zhang is an IU alumna, and the roots of her project go back to her time as a student.”

GETTING POLITICAL

Protests traverse the lines of language, culture The pigeons were not the most challenging part on the route to and from my apartment. They squawked around, followed me down the street and flew at my face.

That was a lot. No, the challenging part was the political protest happening down the street between my apartment.

With the increasing conflict and unrest since the election in November, you would think this might not be necessarily uncommon or interesting, but this one was a little different for me.

This protest was happening far from the marches in Chicago, Ferguson, Missouri, or Washington, D.C. This protest was taking place in Florence, Italy.

Being the curious person I am, I inched a little bit closer. I obviously could not understand a word of what

they were saying, since it was in Italian, but I could feel the energy and urgency of the protestors.

Protest is one of the most universal actions we can engage in to make our voices heard. Throughout history, people all over the world have stood up for things they believe in. It’s one of my favorite things to see.

As a student abroad this semester in the beautiful city of Florence, I could pretty easily tune myself out to politics for a while and let myself be immersed in the simple beauty that is this city.

I see that as a waste.

In the first few days here, I noticed immediately, even in little bits of conversation, the incredible presence of politics in the Italian culture.

Whether it be the graffiti outside my apartment or

the snippets of conversation I hear from my professors, politics is everywhere. My landlady even had something to say about the refugee crisis hitting Italy and the rest of Europe.

They are dealing with immigration just like we are. Italy is one of the largest stops for refugees coming from Syria.

I mention this because though there is so much going on in the United States with politics, such as a certain reality television star who’s recently taken office, there is as much going on in Europe.

So, in my semester here in this new country, with new ideas and perspectives alike, I am going to set off to find out as much as I can about what the people on the other side of the world are thinking.

What do Europeans think of President Trump? What do the Italian people think of

Katelyn Haas a junior in journalism.

the change in prime minister last year after their old one resigned due to the rejections of his proposal changes within the government? My goal is to find out.

As I stood trying to decipher what the protest going on outside my apartment meant, a few other students with me moved on pretty quickly, wanting to avoid the loud protesters and get back on their walk.

I don’t mind having the demonstration in the way, there is something sort of amazing about watching people shout out loud for what they believe in, no matter the message or the language. haask@umail.iu.edu @khaas96

The IU School of Art + Design began its spring lecture series with the work of a photographer who deals with traditional themes in an unconventional way.

Elijah Gowin, son of photographer Emmet Gowin, lectured a full hall of students and faculty Friday in the Henry Radford Hope School of Fine Arts.

The artist spoke about his work and the progress he has made as a photographer since he first began photographing.

“I definitely wanted to talk about the title of the talk, ‘Faith, Doubt, and Photographs,’ and I certainly I wanted to talk about my own faith and doubt spiritually and how spiritualism comes within my artwork but also about the doubt and the faith we put within photography,” Gowin said.

Gowin’s work deals in part with landscapes, how he builds them through his photographs and plays with the landscape through his own artistic perspective.

During the lecture, Gowin displayed some of his photographs, some of which played with vibrant blue hues and fireflies and others with cut-and-pasted figures from old photographs, repurposed and placed into scenes.

“Often when we think of landscape as synonymous with nature, people are outside of the equation,” Gowin said. “But in J.B. Jackson’s ‘Discovering the Vernacular Landscape,’ he says ‘landscape is not a natural feature of the environment but a synthetic space, a man-made system of spaces superimposed on the face of the land.’”

As a graduate student at the University of New Mexico, Gowin said the above passage was always on his mind when he was constructing his own landscapes within photographs.

As part of one of his series, Gowin repurposed photos of baptisms

happening in large bodies of water and later people jumping and superimposed the figures on new scenes.

“The colors are all kind of wonky, and they have sort of this dreamlike color,” Gowin said. “How I started to work, giving voice to all the digital tools available, is I would take a snapshot like this and eliminate what I wanted to, add what I wanted to and come up with this dream color.”

Gowin said he will soon travel with his father to Malaysia to continue a series of photographs of fireflies, which are slowly disappearing as a species.

Gowin started photographing for “The Last Firefly” around his home this summer, with snapshots of his children that include fireflies as well as larger portraits of the flies.

“It has some of the ideas of landscape and ritual and family that I’ve had before, but it adds a little bit of science,” Gowin said.

Fellow artist and IU photography professor Osamu James Nakagawa said he was impressed with the turnout on Inauguration Day. “I know today is a very important day for the United States, so thank you for skipping that and coming over,” Nakagawa said.

Gowin has work represented at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Center for Creative Photography and many others. He has also won awards such as the 2008 John S. Guggenheim Fellowship.

Nakagawa, also a friend of Gowin’s, said he has done collaborative shows with Gowin before and he, Elijah and Emmet Gowan, and Nakagawa’s uncle will be opening a group show in the Grunwald Gallery this fall.

“He’s going to be back in October, and I’m going to bring some family from Tokyo, too, so it’s going to be like one big family party,” Nakagawa said.

Cardinal Spirits begins comedy night FALL SPECIALS FALL SPECIALS

By Sanya Ali

siali@indiana.edu | @siali13

Cardinal Spirits is planning an event that combines Cardinal’s distillery atmosphere with the comedy stylings of Indiana performers.

“High Proof Laughs” will be at 8 p.m. Monday in Cardinal Spirits, and guests 21 years old and older are invited to attend and enjoy the comedic stylings of a variety of Indiana acts.

Jeff Wuslich, co-founder of Cardinal Spirits, said the event will fall in line with the goals of the venue, which include building a feeling of familiarity with anyone who comes in.

“At Cardinal, we’re all about building community and bringing people together to share their stories and experiences, certainly alcohol helps with that in a lot of

respects,” Wuslich said. “We think having good comedians there will help bring about a better community.”

“High Proof Laughs” will occur quarterly, and the goal is to continue inviting new and established comedians to Bloomington.

This first event will feature Kristen Lucas, winner of the 2016 “Funniest Person in Bloomington” contest; Austin Reel, an Indianapolis comedian and regular at Morty’s Comedy Joint; Stephanie Lochbihler, named one of the top 10 up-and-coming female comedians on ambitious. com; and Indianapolis-based Dwight Simmons, who is the host of a web series called BrewTube Comedy.

The master of ceremonies for the event will be Limestone Comedy Festival codirector Mat Alano-Martin,

who said Cardinal has been a sponsor in the past and recently approached it about the series.

“We’re going to feature a couple of Limestone performers and performers we like, and it’ll be cool to do it in an alternative space,” AlanoMartin said.

Though comedy clubs are more geared toward the specific needs of comedians, Alano-Martin said Cardinal will provide a good vibe for the performance Monday.

“There’s no better place to see comedy than a comedy club — everything is manufactured and thought about for a comedy show,” AlanoMartin said. “The distillery is such a cool space, their tasting room is already cool and chic, and we’re excited to give it a whirl and see how it goes. It makes the comedians change

up their game, it changes the atmosphere.”

Wuslich said Cardinal Spirits has been working with the Limestone Comedy Festival for a few years now, though the idea of having Limestone invite comedians is one they had not explored before.

“I love seeing comedians bringing joy to people, and I think it’s going to be a lot of fun,” Wuslich said.

Alano-Martin said there is no reason people should not come out to enjoy the free show and he looks forward to taking this step forward in Limestone and Cardinal’s partnership.

“I hope that we have a bunch of people come out who are Cardinal regulars who don’t get to see a lot of stand up, and a lot of comedy fans to check out Cardinal,” Alano-Martin said.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

IU looking for second straight win Nittany Lions on the road to begin the Big Ten schedule Dec. 28 behind a blistering 57-percent 3-point field goal percentage. Penn State sophomore guard Teniya Page scored 26 points in the game, and IU Coach Teri Moren said stopping Page will once again be a top priority. Senior guard Alexis Gassion will draw the defensive assignment as she usually does against the opponent’s best player.

In terms of team defense, Moren said the Hoosiers might throw several different looks at Penn State. She said her main priority will be trying to catch the Nittany Lions off guard by switching up the defense at different points in the game.

“All their guards can shoot it, and Teniya Page is just on a different level,” Moren said.

“It’s just about trying to keep them off-balance and not allowing them to get comfortable with anything. That’s why you change it up.”

Page is averaging 18.7 points per game this season and is the only Penn State player to average more than 30 minutes per game. IU counters Page’s backcourt

Every time IU women’s basketball has won a Big Ten game this season the Hoosiers have followed up their winning performance with a loss.

A win at Penn State was followed by a nationally televised loss to Ohio State, and a home victory against Minnesota preceded a defeat at the hands of Michigan. Now, the Hoosiers are a few days removed from beating Purdue to even up their conference record at 3-3. With Penn State visiting IU Monday at 7 p.m. for the teams’ second matchup of the season, junior guard Tyra Buss said she knows how important it is to string consecutive wins together.

“Last game against Purdue was like our bounceback game, and we got that win, and now we’re just going to keep rolling with it,” Buss said. “These next couple games are big for us.

Once we got that first win against Purdue, I think we’re ready to just keep rolling.”

scoring with Buss, who also scored 26 points in the previous meeting between the two teams. On Thursday night against Purdue Buss scored 18 points and played all 40 minutes.

Buss said there is plenty to take away from the film of the last game between the two teams but also said the fact this game is at home means the Nittany Lions will only be more motivated.

“I think Penn State will watch a lot of film too, and they’ll know our tendencies a lot better, they’ll know our plays a lot better,” Buss said.

“We beat them at their place, so they’re going to want to come in and fight in our place.”

The Nittany Lions have won their last two games against Wisconsin and Nebraska by a combined 47 points. Moren said it is a

different Penn State team from the one the Hoosiers saw in late December because the confidence and performance levels of the Nittany Lions have both risen in recent weeks.

“They’re playing better,” Moren said. “Just like we have, I think we’ve gotten better and I think they have as well. I look for it to be an incredible matchup because their guard play is so strong.”

doubles point, the freshman duo of Brodney and Crane won at position three.

In singles Manji, playing at position one, won 6-0, 6-3, the biggest IU singles win of the matchup. At position five, Crane also won in two sets. These two matches

were the only ones the Hoosiers were able to win in two sets.

All of the other singles matches were finalized in the third set, but IU only lost at position four. Tabrizi and Cembellin came back to win after being a set down at

positions two and three.

“We knew going in it was going to be a very competitive match,” Wurtzman said.

“It is never easy to play teams in their building. It is nice to see some of the inexperience did not come out and that we were a very mature team.”

against Michigan State. IU was plus 14 in the scoring margin when McRoberts was on the floor. It was the best plus-minus rating for any Hoosier on Saturday.

IU Coach Tom Crean said he started McRoberts in the first exhibition game of the season against Hope College so McRoberts knew he was meaningful to the team. Crean also said from the moment senior forward Collin Hartman went down with a knee injury in the preseason, he knew McRoberts could fulfill Hartman’s role, move without the ball and play with hustle.

“He serves his teammates.

He’s one of those guys who wants to make everyone better, and sometimes he’s gotta be reminded that he’s pretty good too,” Crean said. “He’s very, very valuable to them. I was sold when I watched him this summer, when I watched the work he put into his body, to gain the weight that he did after he tried out and we’re really happy to have him.”

With Anunoby and Morgan averaging a combined 45 minutes per game, the Hoosiers had to turn to the reserves to play meaningful minutes against Michigan State. McRoberts answered.

McRoberts said he doesn’t see himself as the glue guy for IU, but after the production he gave IU with the Hoosiers being plus 14 in his 32 minutes on the floor, it’s hard to not see him as that.

“I just like doing little things and helping my teammates out,” McRoberts said. “I probably wouldn’t throw any titles on it yet, just do anything we can to come together as a team and win.”
