Spierer lawsuit dropped

3-1

From IDS reports

A federal judge dismissed a negligence lawsuit Wednesday against two of the men who were seen with missing IU student Lauren Spierer when she disappeared in June 2011.

U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Walton Pratt, of the Southern District of Indiana, dismissed the complaint against Corey Rossman and Jason Rosenbaum, according to court documents.

Rob and Charlene Spierer alleged in their suit, which was filed last year, that the two men owed their daughter a “duty of care” when they reportedly provided the already intoxicated 20-year-old with alcohol and allowed her to leave an apartment complex, where the men lived, by herself. Attorneys for Rossman and Rosenbaum maintained the allegations were not true.

Lauren Spierer, who has yet to be located following exhaustive searches through a three-year span, was a sophomore at the time of her disappearance June 3, 2011.

IU beats No. 3 St. Louis Hoosiers overcome early deficit to win 3-1

By Michael Hughes michhugh@indiana.edu | @MichaelHughes94

It was the worst start IU could have imagined followed by an optimal result.

IU won the match 3-1 against St. Louis, despite conceding a goal faster than any other time this season.

IU conceded only 14 seconds after it had kicked off the match, courtesy of a 35yard volley from St. Louis senior Robert Kristo.

“We felt shocked,” senior Jamie Vollmer said. “You never want to give up a goal that early, but we knew what we had to do.”

The only other time IU had conceded first was against Penn State. That 1-0 loss is the only time IU has lost this year.

Unlike against Penn State, however, IU fought back.

With a little less than eight minutes gone, sophomore Billy McConnell had the ball outside the right edge of the box.

He picked out Matt Foldesy to run into the box, and Foldesy collected the ball moving toward the goal. He took a touch and fired the ball underneath the keeper’s glove to level the score.

“That was huge,” Vollmer said. “It really took a load off our backs, I’d say. We fell down for a second but we didn’t have

time to feel sorry for ourselves so we just made it happen.”

The second IU goal of the half came from Vollmer, with senior Patrick Doody picking up the assist from a cross from the left corner.

With under 10 minutes left in the half Vollmer nearly had a second. He took a shot from 35 yards out that forced a lunging save from St. Louis goalkeeper Sascha Otte.

The save left Otte out of position to deal with a rebound opportunity presented to IU sophomore Tanner Thompson.

New exhibits to open at Art Museum

By Victoria Lutgring vlutgrin@indiana.edu | @vlutgring

Visitors to the IU Art Museum will soon get to experience art dating back to the second century B.C. Three new exhibits are coming to IU Art Museum this month. They will showcase Oct. 4 through Dec. 21.

The exhibits, titled “Pierre Daura (1896–1976): Picturing Attachments,” “Brush Ink Paper: Selections from the Collection of Dr. Thomas Kuebler” and “Colors of Classical Art,” showcase a wide array of art in many different forms and give visitors a look

into the past of many different cultures.

“Picturing Attachments” shows the many works of painter Pierre Daura, which were inspired by his personal relationships and his service in the Spanish Civil War. The influence of his life inspires his most beautiful, original and moving works, no matter what medium he uses to create them.

Daura received his art education at the Academy of Fine Arts in Barcelona, known as La Llotja.

His teachers included José Ruiz y Blasco, who was Pablo Picasso’s father, and Joseph Calvo.

In the later years of his life, Daura said, “All I have ever wanted to do is to find a way to paint.

I have painted. I have worked. I have given myself to my art. That is what I have wanted since my very early age ... to be an artist, good or bad ... that is what I am.”

“Brush Ink Paper” showcases Chinese and Japanese calligraphy and paintings that date back to the 17th century. The collection consists of works by Zen monks and Japanese poets and gives viewers a look into Chinese and Japanese history.

Landscaper cleans up after IU fraternities

By Lindsay Moore liramoor@indiana.edu @_LindsayMoore

If you build it, they will come and tear it down.

Local landscaping business Clark Landscaping and Lawn Care has taken on a new market — fraternities. IU chapters such as Phi Gamma Delta have reached out to the company to help with post-party clean up, said Andy Clark, Clark Landscaping and Lawn Care owner.

Fiji is leading this trend of fraternity outsourcing, said Joe Clifford, Interfraternity Council risk management chair.

“I think it is a great idea to hire a company to clean up sand,” Clifford said in

an email. “Before IFC’s big push to end hazing on campus, it would have been pledges cleaning up sand, so I’m glad to see former pledge duties being outsourced.”

Clark Landscaping arrived at the Fiji house at 8 a.m. the Sunday after Fiji’s beach party to begin cleaning up the aftermath of the fraternity’s party.

What they found was a man-made paradise.

The Fiji house members constructed several tiki huts, a stained wooden pirate ship and a 40-foot by 40-foot pool with a functional hot tub in the middle, Clark said.

Clark estimates Fiji spends more than $20,000

to host an event of this size.

The cleanup process took more than 16 hours of labor between eight workers. This included the deconstruction of wooden structures, the transportation of 180 tons of sand and the removal of 40,000 gallons of water, Clark said.

Eighth Street was lined with Clark’s dump trucks, trailers and Bobcats from 8 a.m. to midnight, and then a smaller cleanup crew came the following day, Clark said.

All of this ran up a bill from Clark Landscaping of $3,000, Clark said.

“They don’t care to pay, and they know it’s a big job,” Clark said. “I’m making good money on it, so it’s

worth it for me.”

After the cost of labor, Clark estimates that the after-party cleanup profit for his company totals about $2,000.

“If I can go and make $2,000 in one day, I’m pretty happy about that,” Clark said. “It’s really just like any other job. It’s a long day, but if I can make a couple thousand off it, I’m happy.”

Clark Landscaping cashed in by reselling the wood and sand left over from the party, Clark said.

This year, Clark hauled off eight dump truck loads of sand and resold it to a local excavator for sewage construction.

This added up to an extra $800 of profit, Clark said.

This was Clark Landscaping’s second year on cleanup duty.

Last year, Fiji hired the company for the same job but with more complications, Clark said.

Last fall, Fiji hadn’t drained the pool and hot tub when Clark Landscaping arrived.

As a result, Eighth Street was flooded in roughly knee-deep water, Clark said.

The second time around, Clark warned the fraternity brothers to let the water drain from the pool beforehand.

Fiji’s beach party this year outdid previous years with roughly 40 tons more sand and more man-made structures than in the past,

Clark said.

Fraternity parties can continue to become more elaborate and expensive as long as they stay within their property, IU Police Department Lt. Craig Munroe said.

“They’re in their house, so that’s up to them and their chapter,” Munroe said.

Each chapter has party rules and regulations mandated by the Fraternal Information and Programming Group, which is then administered by the IFC, Clifford said.

“I think these themes foster an environment that allows people to enjoy themselves without having to resort to binge drinking to have a good time,” Clifford said.

IU psychologist receives research grant from NIH From IDS reports

An IU researcher has received a $2.3 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to research the use of cognitive training techniques to reduce risky behavior.

Peter Finn, a clinical psychologist, will focus on the reduction of risky behavior in people prone to impulsive or anti-social behavior or who are prone to early onset alcoholism, according to the University.

In particular, Finn will focus on the role of memory in impulse decision making.

The grant comes particularly from NIH’s National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.

The study seeks to establish whether cognitive training can enhance decisionmaking abilities.

Cognitive training has been used for treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, obsessive compulsive disorder, memory loss and serious depression, according to the University.

While the study is not a clinical trial, Finn said in a University press release that it has the potential to impact future treatment.

Finn is a professor in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences. He earned his Ph.D. from McGill

University in 1988.

His research in the past has been in three areas.

Apart from research in cognitive and motivational processes in substance abuse, Finn also researched working memory and self regulation and disinhibitory processes in personality.

Finn and his team will look at three different groups. Two will be adults whose alcohol abuse began before age 20.

One of these two will be people with a history of impulsive behavior.

The third group will be people with no history of substance abuse, according to the University.

The study will have two parts, one looking at the effect of an intentional refocusing technique on working memory and the other at the effectiveness of a working memory training program.

Finn also said the study may have important effects on relapse in alcoholism.

“Our work shows that there’s a common vulnerability to substance use disorders, ADHD and antisocial personality disorder,” Finn said in the release. “All are associated with similar problems with impulsive and risky decision-making and a low-working memory capacity.”

IUPD offers text-to-911 From IDS reports

In times of emergency, students will now be able to text 911 for help on campus.

The Indiana Statewide 911 Board now offers text-to-911 services on local college campuses, according to a Statewide 911 Board press release.

IU Police Department is offering this service.

The Statewide 911 Board operates under the Indiana Treasurer’s Office. It has state jurisdiction over 911 services.

During homecoming, the board will launch a campaign to spread the word on its textto-911 services.

The board will also stress that calling 911 in the case of emergency is still the best option during this campaign.

“Texting to 911 is now an alternative method to contact law enforcement and encouraged when calling is not a possibility. When calling the police, be prepared to help them help you,” IUPD’s Lt. W. Craig

Munroe said in the release.

“You should be ready to identify the nature of the incident, the location, time, persons or property involved and anything unusual or distinctive about the incident or persons involved.”

Barry Ritter, the executive director of the Indiana Statewide 911 Board, said the service has already undergone some changes.

“After announcing the accessibility of the text-to-911 technology earlier this year, we have made numerous improvements and have gone through a great number of trainings to aggressively onboard emergency call centers throughout Indiana,” Ritter said in the release. “Indiana being in front of such an important public safety tool continues our dedication to keeping our communities safe, especially our university campuses.”

Thinking about food in the middle of class is a requirement in this semester’s Themester courses.

Themester is a College of Arts and Sciences program that includes speakers, events and classes across many departments centered around one topic. The theme for this semester is “Eat, Drink, Think: Food from Art to Science” and involves more than 25 courses across 15 departments.

Courses include Nationalism and Food in the international studies department and Economics of Obesity in the economics department.

Some classes were offered during the Intensive Freshmen Seminar program in August. The rest are currently taking place.

Freshman Janani Krishnan said she has always been interested in food and all aspects of the food industry and wanted to explore the topic through the lens of her psychology major.

So Krishnan enrolled in professor Andrew Libby’s IFS course, Food for Thought.

“I wanted to look at why people eat,” she said.

Krishnan said the first part of the course covered aspects of food production, such as why the United States uses so much corn, how animals are raised and the pros and cons of organic food.

The implications of these topics were discussed in the second part of the course.

“We didn’t look at it from just the industry, producer or consumer side but all sides,” she said.

Krishnan said she got a lot out of the course and said

she never got bored despite classes going on for five to six hours per day.

“I learned how non-diverse our food system is and how you need to be careful when reading labels,” she said.

Krishnan added that the course provided practical education for college, where she has to make daily food choices on her own.

“I’ve been able to make more conscientious decisions as a consumer,” she said.

Sophomore chemistry major Aamina Khan said she has long been conscious of her own nutrition and food consumption but enrolled in professor Christine Barber’s Themester political science course titled The Politics of What’s for Dinner to further understand the food industry and regulation.

A self-described foodie, Khan said she enjoys learning not only about the policy side of food but also the psychology behind food consumption.

Khan said the course and the related reading she has done on her own have made her realize Americans aren’t as aware about what’s in their food as they should be.

“Knowing what exactly is in your food is really eyeopening and empowering,” she said.

Khan said she also took a Themester course last year when the topic was “Connectedness: Networks in a Complex World” but said she likes this year’s Themester better.

“Food is something a lot more tangible, obviously,” she said. “It’s something everyone can relate to.”

CORRECTIONS A photo caption on the Region page Wednesday should have said “Layla Bishop, 4, watches a sheep be sheared while she eats popcorn. Volunteers from the 4-H club helped run various aspects of the event, including attending to the animals.” The second photo in the package is of Layla’s mother, Katie, pointing out cows during a hayride.

A story in Tuesday’s Campus section should have said that changes to the Medical College Admission Test will require three additional courses.

The IDS regrets these errors.

Red Cross donations on rise after shortage

By Tori Fater vrfater@indiana.edu | @vrfater

After a slow summer, the American Red Cross is back to its normal level of blood donations following low donation numbers throughout the summer.

The Red Cross sent out an urgent call requesting more donations at the end of July this year because donations were down 8 percent nationwide, which was about 80,000 fewer donations in 11 weeks than expected.

Lindsay English, spokesperson for the regional chapter, said it affected distribution across the United States.

“We didn’t run into what would technically be a shortage,” she said. “We saw a decline in donations, so we put the word out for people to donate and keep their appointments to donate.”

A decrease in donations happens most often during the summer and the winter holiday season, English said, when people change their regular schedules to take vacations and might not make time to donate blood and plasma. Usually donations level out during the fall.

“We always look for those times of year when we can rely on people to donate blood,” English said. “It’s a little bit easier during this time of year ... People are on more of a regular schedule, kids are back in school.”

The River Valley chapter of the American Red Cross, based out of Louisville, Ky., serves the Bloomington area as well as southern Indiana, central Kentucky and Southeast Illinois.

“We cover a pretty large area,” English said. “To serve the patients that we have in our area we have to collect close to 375 units of blood each day.”

That’s about 125,000 pints of blood per year for the hospitals that depend on the regional Red Cross.

The national organization supplies about 40 percent of blood donations across the U.S., English said.

The Red Cross launched an app through Apple and Google Play in September that lets people find local donation drives, schedule appointments and recruit other donors, as well as look at their own donation histories.

“If you are a regular donor, it calculates how many units you’ve donated,” Eng-

lish said. “And it’ll also give you your impact.”

Since one pint of blood is estimated to save three lives, the app keeps track of the number of times a

person has donated and estimates how many people have been affected by the donation.

English said the regular donor base, about 20

percent of whom are college students, helped the Red Cross get back to its normal supply during the summer.

“We obviously had a lot of people who were very

generous and answered our call once we put out that urgent appeal,” she said.

“We’re always looking for new and especially younger donors.”

ELECTIONS 2014

Local candidates discuss straight-ticket voting

By Neal Earley njearley@indiana.edu

This November, when voters enter their local precincts to vote in the midterm election, they will be faced with an array of detailed candidate options.

But in Indiana, this process can be simplified.

Hoosiers have the option of voting straight-ticket, which means by checking one box, voters can cast a vote for a single party in every election.

On the Indiana ballot, three parties are listed in the straight-ticket box: Democratic, Republican and Libertarian.

Indiana is not alone in this voting option. Fourteen states have some type of straight-ticket option on their ballot.

“I don’t see anything wrong with it at all,” said Steve Hogan, chair of the Monroe County Republican Party. “A lot of times, I do know that people will hit the all-Republican thing and then go back and either remove a name or vote for the Democrat.”

Hogan said he believes the straight-ticket option is a convenience for people who know they are going to mostly vote for one party instead of another.

Jacob Franklin, candidate for Monroe County

clerk, and William Ellis, candidate for Monroe County assessor, both Republicans, said they prefer citizens not vote straight-ticket.

“As a candidate, I’m actually not too fond of it because it encourages people to vote for races they may have not researched,” Ellis said. “They may not have delved into issues, and they’re voting just on party, not the person.”

Ellis’ opponent, incumbent Monroe County assessor and Democrat Judy Sharp, also said she is not a fan of the straight-ticket voting option on the Indiana ballot.

“I think it’s basically a cop-out,” Sharp said. “You always hope people are informed when they go to the polls and just pulling a straight ticket no matter if it’s a ‘R’ or a ‘D’ doesn’t do anyone any justice.”

Both Sharp and Ellis said they believe the county assessor’s position is not a political office, and they hope voters will choose who they believe to be most qualified when voting.

Bernard Fraga, associate professor of political science at IU, said straight-ticket voting does not necessarily favor incumbents because it is a strategic advantage.

“So in a sense you could say that incumbents are advantaged by straight-ticket

voting but only because that straight-ticket voting tends to reflect the underlying partisan distribution of that state or district,” Fraga said.

The practice of straightticket voting is one steeped in the historical traditions of the American electoral process.

Even though most states today no longer have the straight-ticket option on the ballot, Fraga said voting exclusively along party lines dates back to a time in American history when political parties had greater influence over the election process.

Ballots were once colorcoded and only contained candidates from one party, Fraga said.

Voting for candidates in two different parties meant voting on two separate ballots, each with its own color.

Fraga said this is a holdovr from a time when elections were not as transparent as they are today.

Recently, straight-ticket voting has declined. In the past eight years, four states, New Hampshire, Missouri, Wisconsin and North Carolina, have decided to end the practice.

Though there have been attempts to take the straight-ticket option off the ballot in Indiana, none of the attempts have been successful.

Obama to visit southern Indiana steel manufacturer Friday for celebration From IDS reports

President Obama will visit Millennium Steel Service in Princeton, Ind., on Friday as part of the National Manufacturing Day celebrations, the company said.

Obama will travel to Evansville Regional Airport via Air Force One on Friday morning, according to the Associated Press.

Obama will be joined by U.S. Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker and Gov. Mike Pence.

This is the first time Obama has visited the state since his reelection. His last visit to Indiana was in May 2011, when he toured the Allison Transmission facility in Indianapolis.

Millennium Steel Ser-

vice provides manufacturing materials for Toyota and other similar parts services, according to the company’s website.

The company was founded in 2001 by Henry Jackson and Toyota to provide steel for Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indiana, located outside Princeton, Ind., according to the AP. The company’s revenues rose from $37 million in 2001 to $250 million in 2011.

Millennium Steel is owned by Jackson and was listed as No. 14 on Black Enterprise Magazine’s list of the Nation’s Largest Black Businesses in 2014, maintaining its ranking from last year.

Manufacturing Day is a national event meant to

support hundreds of manufacturers across the United States to showcase innovation in manufacturing, according to the Manufacturing Day website.

The event is one of more than 1,500 scheduled events in 49 states.

Indiana’s employment numbers for August showed a drop in the unemployment rate to a seasonally adjusted 5.8 percent, according to the Indiana Department of Workforce Development.

The federal unemployment rate at the time was 7.1 percent.

The state’s unemployment rate decreased despite losing 2,600 private sector jobs.

Upland Brewery celebrates Oktoberfest this weekend

By Amanda Marino ammarino@indiana.edu @amandanmarino

German culture will come to life through food and costumes all day Saturday at Upland Brewery’s Oktoberfest.

The event has taken place for more than 10 years at the Upland Bloomington Brew Pub on 11th Street.

Communications Coordinator Emily Hines said the event is free and familyfriendly.

An all-German menu

will be served by people in traditional dress at the event celebrating fall and the release of the Oktoberfest Lager Beer, a special brew that is available only during the fall season, she said.

“It’s just sort of a celebration of that,” Hines said.

Hines said liter steins will be available for purchase during the event.

Four bands will perform at the event, starting at 4 p.m. with Charlie Jesseph, according to Upland’s website.

At 5:30 p.m. Crescent

Ulmer will perform, followed by the Abbey Normals at 7 p.m. and Elephant Quiz at 8:30 p.m.

Hines said Oktoberfest has been one of the staff ’s favorite events to work at Upland Brewery for the past 10 years because they get into the spirit of it.

“It’s a high-energy event,” she said.

Hines said they are expecting a full house for the event as people come and go throughout the day.

“It’s a great event for family and friends to enjoy the fall season,” she said.

WHIZZES AND BANGS

IDS EDITORIAL BOARD

Amazon’s smash hit

Stop laughing

RILEY ZIPPER is a junior in English.

Amazon’s not just for buying 10-pound bags of diarrheal gummy bears anymore.

Its new show “Transparent,” starring Jeffrey Tambor of “Arrested Development” as Maura, a male-to-female transgender woman, proves that it’s finally a top contender in the realm of video streaming services.

After a bout of unsuccessful original programming, including last year’s “Alphas,” “Beta House” and early 2014’s “Tumble Leaf,” not to mention an extensive list of undeveloped pilots, Amazon was doomed to never breach the wall that protected Netflix and Hulu Plus from lowly open access video uploading sites like YouTube and Vine.

It’s high time for the transgender community, as well as the GLBT community as a whole, to be on television. “Orange is the New Black” proved that a transgender person could exist on television without ruining the “family values” that this great nation allegedly stands for.

“Transparent” shows that family and transgenderism are not mutually exclusive.

It doesn’t get preachy. It never approaches that fine line between public service announcement and drama that screams Disney after-school special.

Instead, its narrative is situated in slick realism that gives one the impression this could indeed be one’s own family but never in a way that’s oversimplified, like the way, for example, “Modern Family” handles gay relationships.

The show follows Maura’s journey closely but highlights her incredibly selfish and narcissistic children just enough so it doesn’t turn into some dramatic coming-out tale, something that’s been all too common among GLBTcentric narratives in the past.

Considering the show follows Maura’s coming out as transgender, this must have proved very difficult for creator Jill Solloway.

But it paid off, as “Transparent” is a critical and audience success.

I think this speaks to a sort of almost-revolution in television: the desire for non-ordinary narrative.

By this I mean that audiences are getting tired of seeing the same white people on television leading the same white lives with the same white stories.

Audiences are realizing that the ordinary isn’t all that ordinary. We’re all different and we want our television to reflect that.

But this complexity shouldn’t be obligatory.

TV writers can’t just throw in a trans or a gay character just as an attempt to generalize. They have to have stories, too.

“Ordinary” characters and families have had stories on television since television was invented.

It’s time for something extraordinary.

“Transparent” is just that. It’s unequivocally human.

It taps into the unordinary, the strange, the troubled — the things our society hinges upon.

It gives a, dare I say it, transparent look into the lives of characters who can be mistaken as people.

It bridges the gap between reality and television in ways that reality television has never been able to do. zipperr@indiana.edu

‘X’ marks the spot WE SAY: This is a label we don’t want Let’s face it. Fraternities have a bad rap on campus, and not without cause.

Ten Interfratenity Council fraternities on the IU campus are under disciplinary probation for allegations of hazing or alcohol violations, according to the Division of Student Affairs.

Two additional ones are completely suspended.

These pages have already talked at length about the negative consequences of an underground fraternity subculture gone wild, and indeed we have criticized the fraternities on campus for not taking a more active role in stamping it out.

However, we are glad to see that we, as in IU fraternities, are avoiding egregious violations, at least.

The latest horror story involves the brothers of the Zeta-Zeta chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

Members purportedly used a system of red and black X’s to identify which girls should be roofied, according to the Huffington Post.

Rohypnol, more formally known as flunitrazepam and more com-

monly as roofies, is a common daterape drug because of its short-term amnesia effects on those taking it.

The fraternity brothers allegedly marked the girls they wanted to drug, and the bartender would do so.

This is a despicable example of fraternity behavior at its absolute worst and unfortunately lends credence to the idea that these institutions and their members are nothing more than children with power complexes.

We know the greek system here on campus can be extremely beneficial if used in the right way, and steps are in place to rehabilitate that image. Last week, IU fraternities took pledges to end sexual violence both within the greek system and on campus.

The fraternities released powerful statements about the cause and what they plan on doing to end sexual assault, be it expelling brothers or re-hashing intra-fraternity policy.

But a lot needs to be done in order to get away from the pervasive stereotypes and the double-secret probations.

That leaves us with a very hard choice.

With the pervasiveness and ubiquity of parties hosted by the fraternities, going out on a Friday or Saturday night is still very much a caveat emptor proposition.

Despite what we may wish to believe about IU, the unfortunate reality, as with many things, is that the bad apples certainly grab up the majority of headlines.

But simply dismissing incidents like these fails to address the problem of that insidious culture that we have spoken ad nauseum about, nor do we doubt that this will be the last these pages have to say on the issue.

The greek system is not beyond redemption, but the endless choruses calling for change are not done out of malice but genuine concern.

We want all organizations to do their good works contributing to the community, whether it is finding students experience, leadership or companionship.

That is the future we want to see and what all of us at IU should strive for, rather than seeking a quick and dirty way to have fun on weekends.

GUENTHER WITH AN ‘E’

Waltzing around the law The Republicans in the state legislature are at it again, essentially sprinting away from ethics scandals in hordes.

After the scandal by Rep. Eric Turner, R-Cicero, in which he lobbied for bills to further his family’s business interests, the spotlight has expanded on state lawmakers here in Indiana.

It seems they just can’t stay away from all that juicy taxpayer money.

Or, at least, they can’t seem to stop running into trouble with their businesses.

What is ethics but a guideline, anyway?

It’s not like people need to get paid.

Sen. Brent Waltz, RGreenwood, has served in the State Senate since 2004 and sits on the Senate Appropriations Committee.

It appears, however, that Waltz has some trouble appropriating funds in his private life.

Waltz is being sued for withholding $220,000 in wages and benefits from his employees at a machine tooling firm in Indianapolis.

He and his coworkers are also being accused of withholding Social Security taxes from employee paychecks and never sending them to the federal government, instead opting to pocket the extra cash.

Just a little embezzlement.

Of course, Waltz denies ever holding a significant role in the company, even though the records clearly contradict him.

According to company payroll forms, Waltz served as Chief Financial Officer of the business and received more than $60,000 in wages from said business annually.

This isn’t the first time Waltz has been sued for being fiscally irresponsible.

In 2009, another machining company, Indianapolis Diversified Machining, was sued for withholding pay from employees.

However, the company, which told employees it had no money, continued to pay Waltz after it shut down.

When questioned about his involvement, Waltz claimed the pay he received was to cover past debt owed to him by the company and

that the decision was made entirely by the owners.

Again, according to company bylaws, Waltz was an owner of the company.

Official company forms, again, list Waltz as the Chief Financial Officer of the business.

To put this in perspective, a senator, who sits on the committee charged with budgetary tasks, has been the Chief Financial Officer of two companies, both of which failed and both of which withheld pay from employees.

Well, if that’s not encouraging, I don’t know what is.

It serves to reason that the Indiana House and Senate should audit its members a little more closely in regard to how their private lives may impact their public service.

Now, that isn’t to say lawmakers aren’t privy to the rights and comforts that we, as private citizens, are afforded.

It is to say, however, that by choosing to serve in the public sector, lawmakers open themselves up for additional scrutiny.

ANDREW GUENTHER is a sophomore in political science.

When members of the legislature engage in activities or practices that potentially impact their impartiality, their ability to work effectively or their ethical intelligence, it’s the public’s right to know.

So when lawmakers like Waltz mismanage their business funds, allegedly commit tax fraud and withhold wages from their employees, it’s warrant for constituent concern.

We have a right, as voters, to know what our representatives are doing.

So should Waltz resign?

Should he be censured?

I honestly can’t answer those questions.

What I do know, however, is that this is a topic worth discussing for the betterment and protection of the public interest.

Otherwise, we can’t expect any better. ajguenth@indiana.edu

Laughter is a wonderful thing, and life would seem quite empty without it.

We need our regular dose of endorphins to keep us happy and sane.

But laughing and making jokes about serious issues, such as racism or rape, does nothing to solve the actual problems.

In fact, it’s downright offensive and insensitive.

When done well, it’s hilarious. So many comedians’ stand-up routines are based on their experiences with racism and sexism.

But a crude, poor joke turns issues into farces, and laughing about them only works to make the issues seem smaller than what they are.

Laughter diminishes and dismisses the issue.

Laughter allows you to think that an issue really isn’t all that serious or important. But it is important.

People make jokes to avoid having to discuss an issue in a serious manner.

And we laugh because we also want to avoid talking about the issue.

We aren’t really fooled into thinking the joke is funny, but joking and laughing allows us to think that it’s OK to ignore the issue.

It’s all a big ruse to avoid the uncomfortable confrontation of our own faults or the faults of our fathers, mothers, brothers, best friends, teachers, neighbors and random passersby.

And the more we laugh, the more we encourage the avoidance.

Rape, racism and religious prejudices are not funny.

There are so many people who suffer each day at the hands of these issues.

People are hurt. People are killed.

Think of the number of African Americans harmed or killed for no reason other than the color of their skin.

Remember those who were terroized in the Holocaust.

And yet the jokes and laughter continue to come forth.

But it’s time we all stop laughing because the longer we avoid the discussion of an issue, the longer the issue will persist and more people will continue to suffer.

When you hear a joke that is making light of a serious issue, stop laughing.

Say, “That’s not funny.” Don’t just let the issue go unrecognized.

Think about why the issue isn’t funny, think about all the people that are suffering and will continue to suffer until something is done about the issue.

Stop avoiding the issue and confront the elephant in the room.

Everyone has their own opinions on issues, and we can only fully understand the issue at hand when we understand as many different perspectives as possible.

My own opinion is that things are only as uncomfortable as you make it, so stop worrying about what people will say or think when confronted with the fact that their joke is not funny.

Discuss and educate.

Be aware of the harm joking and laughing does.

Ask yourself: Why am I still laughing?

Stop laughing. johnstra@indiana.edu

IU creates team mantra, to take on Rutgers tonight

By Sam Beishuizen sbeishui@indiana.edu @Sam_Beishuizen

IU Coach Amy Berbary has a new mantra for her team to rally around heading into tonight’s game against No. 25 Rutgers.

“ONE.” It’s the sequel to last year’s social media tag, “#12ISEABOVE.” The idea behind “ONE” is to establish and strengthen team unity. The idea is to focus on the small details of one game, one practice or even just one play at a time.

After the success of last year’s “#12ISEABOVE” campaign, Berbary said she is hoping “ONE” matches the standard set last year.

“Basically what we’re going to refocus on is our new goal, which is to get ourselves to West Lafayette Nov. 5,” Berbary said, referring to the Big Ten Tournament. “Then, we can establish our new goals.”

After losing five of six games to start the Big Ten season, Berbary tried to refocus her team this week by taking a

Thompson simply had to collect the ball and slot home the easy finish for his third goal of the season.

“We didn’t want to sit,” Thompson said. “We wanted to press them up high and make them make decisions.”

After the opening goal, St. Louis failed to create

step away from soccer.

The coaching staff on Tuesday brought in former IU men’s soccer player turned motivational speaker Whitey Kapsalis to speak with the team.

Kapsalis walked on at IU in 1983. He spoke to the team about what it means to be a leader and push forward through difficult times.

The Hoosiers will see if the new mantra and motivational speaker’s speech works at 7 p.m. today in Piscataway, N.J., against Rutgers, a team IU has never played.

Because the teams have never met, Berbary said she has treated Rutgers as a nonconference opponent.

“We talked about focusing on the individual,” IU senior midfielder Jordan Woolums said. “If everyone does their job, then we shouldn’t have any problems.”

IU has lost three Big Ten games by just one goal.

Berbary has blamed the close losses on the Hoosiers making one or two costly mistakes. The mental mistakes have been a frustrating reoc-

curring theme for IU throughout the season.

Berbary said she thinks IU is close to getting back on track. To her, it’s just a matter of being able to limit the frequency mistakes.

“I think for the most part, we’ve been playing well,” Berbary said. “I think it’s been that one piece that we’ve been missing that we need to work on.”

IU sits in 12th place in the Big Ten standings with just three points through six conference games.

The eighth-place Big Ten Tournament cutoff team is Maryland, with seven points through just five games.

With just seven conference games left and a goal of making the Big Ten Tournament for the second consecutive year on the line, Woolums said the Hoosiers need points before it’s too late.

“We don’t really have a choice,” Woolums said. “We have to focus on Thursday. It only takes one game to turn it around, so I think we get Thursday. That’s our goal is to get Thursday.”

many chances for the rest of the half.

The one other opportunity St. Louis created in the first half came from junior Francisco Vizcaino. Vizcaino took a shot from just inside the top of the 18-yard box on the right side. The effort forced a save from Webb and produced a dangerous rebound.

The ball ricocheted directly in front of goal. Fresh-

man Grant Lillard was able to clear the ball to safety with a Billiken on his back.

The start of the second half saw IU drop very deep and invite pressure. As a result, St. Louis started seeing much more of the ball, not to say that IU didn’t produce any more chances.

The best of the second half chances for IU came on the counter. Thompson received the ball around

Big Ten proposes changes to NCAA treatment of athletes From IDS reports

In the latest of a string of decisions altering the landscape of college athletics, the Big Ten Conference announced Wednesday a series of proposals to improve the treatment of its studentathletes.

The proposals, which were recommended to the NCAA, would allow the conference’s 14 member schools to provide greater care for student-athletes through true cost-of-education scholarships, multiyear scholarship commitments and improved medical insurance.

A press release Wednesday outlined the conference’s plan.

These include raising the amount of scholarships to cover the full cost of

education.

It will also guarantee athlete’s scholarships even if he or she is unable to play.

The proposal outlines a plan to ensure that studentathletes who leave school early can have his or her scholarship guaranteed for life and provide improved medical insurance for athletes.

“The Big Ten has also agreed to address additional student-athlete welfare issues including, but not limited to, health and safety, time demands and comprehensive academic support by way of a ‘Resolution’ that creates a specific pathway and timeline for implementation,” the release stated.

The proposals come during a time of turbulence for the NCAA and college sports as a whole.

Player compensation has

been a topic for debate in recent months.

IU linebackers Coach William Inge could practically sum up Tegray Scales’ recruiting with one play.

Inge and IU Coach Kevin Wilson watched the freshman linebacker at Colerain High School in Cincinnati last September.

Inge watches thousands of plays in a given year, but Scales’ relentlessness in one particular sequence still holds fresh in his mind.

“We saw him miss a play,” Inge said. “He was on the ground. He was up so fast and made the tackle that people barely knew he was on the ground.”

That’s when Inge said he had found the player he wanted.

Scales came to IU with high potential after being recruited by the likes of Ohio State and Notre Dame, and he’s already proven why schools were interested.

Through four games, Scales has 19 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss and a pass breakup. He was also named Big Ten co-Freshman of the Week after IU’s 31-27 win against Missouri.

But ironically enough, it was a different Wilson who was the first to key in on Scales’ talent in high school.

Cliff Wilson, Kevin’s father, joined Inge and Kevin on the recruiting trip to watch Scales play, too.

After a few plays, the elder Wilson gave his son a piece of advice.

“He said, ‘You need that guy,’” Wilson recalled. “My dad became Tegray’s personal recruiter.”

Scales and Cliff Wilson still talk regularly.

They spent some time together at practice last week and have formed a friendship from that day.

“Ever since he came to the game, we created a bond,” Scales said. “I like him a whole bunch. Every time I see him we talk for a bit, just about football.”

Scales fits the mold for a new brand of Hoosier linebackers who haven’t had a member drafted to the NFL since Joe Norman in 1979.

The former high school the center circle with two St. Louis defenders in front of him and Doody making a run down the right.

Thompson carried the ball to the top of the box, looked off Doody’s run down the right and fired toward the left post. It appeared he had the goalkeeper beaten, but the ball slid past the post for a goal kick.

wrestling standout who was once ranked 13th in the nation as a senior says he’s a bit undersized for his position.

His 6-foot, 208-pound frame is more commonly seen from safeties than linebackers.

He said his lack of size makes it tougher to get past offensive linemen but was quick to add that his lightness makes him quicker and more difficult to beat in space.

Inge said it’s that versatility that helped him earn playing time so quickly.

He’s fast enough to be able to drop back into coverage or fly around the line of scrimmage and create chaos in IU’s new-look 3-4 defense.

When Scales does reach the ball carrier, his wrestling instincts take over.

“It’s a one-on-one match,” Scales said. “I’ve got to defeat my opponent on the other side. Wrestling helps you with leverage and body control. I think that shows due to the fact that I’m undersized, but I’m still able to make tackles.”

Scales said he’s still play-

ing slower than he’d like to as he becomes more acquainted with IU’s system.

Sophomore TJ Simmons said during camp, Scales didn’t always know the formations or defensive plan.

But by the time the play ended, Scales seemed to always have the ball.

“He may not be the greatest just yet of understanding the scheme, but he understands football,” Inge said.

“He’s got a knack for finding the football, and I don’t want to take that away from him.”

Scales says despite being a rotational linebacker, he still sees himself as a special teams player first and foremost.

Inge said Scales is still operating on instinct during plays, which is fine for now. But as he continues to develop, he’s only expecting Scales to make more plays on Saturdays.

“When you get an opportunity, you have to show your value on the field, and he’s been able to do that thus far,” Inge said. “We’ve been happy with what we’re getting out of Tegray.”

their wingbacks if you counter them there will be a lot of space there,” Thompson said. “In the second half when they started pushing numbers forward we really started to find space.”

St. Louis’ best chance of the half came with 10 minutes remaining in the match.

After the ball bounced around on the left side of the box, it fell to senior Ray-

mond Lee. Lee let the ball bounce over his shoulder and fired his volley attempt toward the near post. Webb was ready as he dove right to parry the ball down the end line.

“He was great today,” Foldesy said. “He played really well. The goal wasn’t his fault. He came off his line well. The defense played great. They were what kept us in the game.”

Paper,” Dr. Thomas Kuebler, received his medical degree from Johns Hopkins and practiced in Indianapolis for more than 25 years.

Kuebler was especially interested in paintings, prints, textiles and wooden objects from all over the world and from all time periods. He also served for many years as president of the Asian Art Society, which is affiliated with the Indianapolis Museum of Art.

“Colors of Classical Art” explores ancient Greek and Roman art. The pieces in the exhibition are from the IUAM’s already large collection of antiquities. Some of the pieces are seldom on view to the public.

The exhibition showcases a wide range of art, including stone, ceramics, glass, jewelry and textiles. The process of manufacturing and applying color to art so long ago is examined as well.

“Colors of Classical Art” will consist of two parts that will open on the first floor exhibition space, as well as

Iraq and Syria.

The law comes after a series of events of the group invading parts of the Middle East and posing threats to the U.S., including beheading two American journalists and a British aid worker.

President Obama addressed the nation in September to lay out his strategy for fighting the terrorist organization.

Along with funding the rebels, the U.S. has used airstrikes on members of ISIS in Syria.

The bill was voted on Sept. 17 and enacted two days later.

Rep. Susan Brooks, R-5th District, voted in favor of the bill. Brooks, who serves on the Homeland Security and Ethics committee in the House of Representatives, said ISIS poses a threat to the U.S. and the government should do more to combat it.

“President Obama has not adequately outlined a cohesive and comprehensive plan for dealing with this threat,” Brooks said in a press release after voting on the bill. “So I’m encouraged this amendment also includes measures requiring the president to be transparent with Congress and the American people about the success of our efforts and the development of a real strategic plan for dealing with the rise of ISIL.” ISIL stands for the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant, another name for ISIS. Candidates for Brooks’ seat in the upcoming midterm elections are slightly more wary of U.S. involvement.

Democratic candidate Shawn Denney said that while military action against ISIS is necessary, the outcome of U.S. action could be unpredictable.

“You can start it when you want to, but you can’t end it when you want to,” Denney said.

in the permanent collections gallery on the second floor and the third part will be available online. The second floor gallery offers a selfguided tour and showcases objects that contain color or were once vibrantly colored.

For those interested in visiting the exhibits, the IU Art Museum is open 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and noon until 5 p.m. Sunday.

The Art Museum is closed on Mondays and major holidays. All exhibitions are free and open to the public.

While military action is an important part of U.S. involvement in the region, there should be a diplomatic process following the defeat of ISIS, Denney said.

“We need to bring the Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds together and form a stable Iraq and do the same in Syria,” Denney said.

Libertarian candidate John Krom said he was less certain of what U.S. funding of the Syrian rebels would do for the region.

Giving weapons to civilians is a mistake, and the United States should not strive to monitor all world conflicts, he said.

“It’s just human nature to want to help somebody, but we can’t help everyone in the world,” he said. “The American people cannot solve the world’s problems.

We need to be more discriminatory of what we get involved in.”

Krom also said he believes the U.S.’s previous involvement in Iraq may have spurred some of the recent conflict.

While he said we need to be cautious of our involvement, Krom said he does approve of airstrikes of ISIS members.

This has been an issue of bipartisan support, however. The bill passed the House 273-156, with a majority of representatives from both parties in favor of supporting the rebels.

Three Indiana representatives, including Rep. Todd Young, R-9th District, opposed the bill.

In a Gallup poll taken last week, 60 percent of Americans approved of military action against ISIS. A majority of citizens from both major political parties favor military action in Syria.

This story is part of a weekly series profiling members of the U.S. Congress and their opposing candidates for the midterm election on Nov. 4. Candidates from each district will be interviewed on a rolling basis.

Former “Saturday Night Live” cast members Seth Meyers, Kirsten Wiig, Mike Myers, Will Ferrell and Tina Fey

40 years of funny ‘Saturday Night Live’ A Our old friends are back for the 40th season and they are as great as ever.

“SNL” is, and has been, the focal point of comedy since its inception in 1975. Despite any rough patches or dry periods, the show still led the “Big Four” networks in ratings last Saturday night.

That is the great accomplishment, the longevity mixed with a stillgreat product.

“SNL” is the Cal Ripken of entertainment television except it does not plan to retire any time soon.

Like it or not, any up-andcoming comedian aspires to take the “SNL” stage and spend their days at 30 Rockefeller Plaza.

The amount of greats that made their name there is incomparable.

We all know them: Murray, Chase, Aykroyd and Belushi; Murphy, Carvey, Hartman, Myers, Sandler and Farley; Ferrell, Fallon, Fey and Poehler.

Just to be clear, I am leaving an absurd amount of people off that list just because my hands were getting tired.

The show has changed with the times as well as any product out there. The style of humor in the culture changes throughout time and “SNL” has always adapted its casts to fit that.

As online media has changed the way television is viewed, “SNL” has done an impressive job of making their sketches Internet-friendly.

Andy Samberg deserves much of the credit for introducing “SNL” to the YouTube era with funny and innovative “Digital Shorts.”

People still tune in Saturdays, or Sundays, on their computer or DVR because the product hasn’t diminished yet.

The show had a mass exodus of stars like Kristen Wiig, Samberg, Bill Hader and Jason Sudeikis a year ago, but the current cast has not allowed much of a drop-off in quality.

The people leaving to become stars may even help the show as it restores the viewer’s faith that the show will continue to be the place that finds the funny.

Creator Lorne Michaels has worked his way into “Godfather” status in the comedy community and he deserves credit for always being able to spot talent and develop them into stars.

Last Saturday, the show had its 40th season premiere and it did not disappoint.

I cannot remember an episode this top-to-bottom funny in quite a while.

Chris Pratt, who may have been the breakout star of the summer, hosted this Saturday and he seemed like an enjoyable part of the gang.

Pratt is such a charismatic

and fun guy that you cannot help but want to hangout and goof around with him.

The cast has all the homerun hitters back from last year and only lost a few fringe members and Nasim Pedrad.

While Pedrad had been a reliable and likable cast member for five seasons, the show will not be losing another Wiig or Hader as Pedrad leaves to join the Fox show “Mulaney.”

The beauty is, this cast does not seem to have a single weak spot, and they flow together like the best “SNL” casts do.

The show started with a great cold open on the NFL’s legal troubles. Call it cowardly of them if you’d like, but I am happy the writers did not try to be political or righteous with this one.

Pratt’s monologue was fine, as it is hard to really do much original with that format these days. What won me over was his ability to subtly laugh at

himself as he made mistakes.

He even said to the crowd, “What are you gonna do?” as he butchered a poor joke.

That was what assured us viewers that it was going to be a fun ride where we all felt like part of the crew.

The centerpiece of this week’s episode was the most exciting by far. The “Weekend Update” segment was the longest I think I have ever seen — a whopping 18 minutes. The thing is, it was just a blast to watch.

New co-anchor Michael Che has been one of the fastest rising stand-up comedians in the industry.

The 21-year-old is talked about by other stand-ups as a guy who has an absurdly natural ability at doing comedy.

His intelligence is what wins you over, and he is at his best when talking about race considering he has a very witty and fresh outlook.

After “Update” is usually when the show starts going

downhill with experimental sketches that tend to have some duds in the mix.

The format didn’t change, but surprisingly the sketches stayed funny throughout, at least until the strange last video game sketch in which characters made out whenever the players beat a level.

At the end, Chris Pratt said his goodbyes and the credits started rolling. Pratt is shaking hands with people and then his wife, comedian Anna Farris, comes and taps him from behind.

The two start cheerfully kissing on camera for a few seconds, and everyone at home had their episode ended with a restoration of happiness in the universe.

Forty years into “SNL,” and it still has us watching.

It still gives us those tiny moments that I want to be talking about with my buddies the next day.

Melissa Fumero, Andy Samberg and Terry Crews star in “Brooklyn Nine-Nine.”

Samberg, gang make return to TV ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ B “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” is back with a new schedule slot but the same arsenal of characters that brought us in for the first season.

This opening episode, “Undercover,” might not be an incredible episode, but it has me excited for this season.

Michael Schur has had a major role in crafting “The Office,”“Parks and Recreation” and now “Brooklyn NineNine.” When looking at all three shows I notice there is a crucial blueprint for these comedies.

Yes, they are all workplace comedies. The blueprint, though, is that early in these shows the dedication was to developing a large field of characters we can understand and enjoy spending our evenings with.

Not all of these characters will be used right away, but the flexibility is there so that down the road the show can

become an actually great series week to week.

There are a lot of shows out there that are very funny and well-written, but there are not many places to go with them and not enough characters to stay interesting for a long period of time.

“Brooklyn Nine-Nine” has accomplished the blueprint and that is what I take away from “Undercover.”

This episode had its moments, but the story of Peralta trying to track down one last mob guy was not exactly pulling me in.

What matters is how happy I was to be back in Brooklyn’s 99th precinct.

I could not be more excited to see Terry pretending to be an unattended ticking backpack for one of Holt’s scenarios or Santiago and Boyle coming to work wearing the same outfit.

Although, Boyle wore it better.

It appears the Santiago and Peralta love story will still be patiently waiting in the bullpen as it continues to be developed. It is always

interesting seeing shows try to procrastinate developing the clear-cut love story.

“The Office” and “New Girl” were two of the better examples of making the entire process feel natural. “Parks and Recreation” tried one story out, it clearly didn’t add up and then they substituted the Paul Schneider love angle for Adam Scott and it worked out all the better.

I am also interested in seeing what happens with the Gina/Boyle storyline.

They clearly had a fun chemistry in the first season but I have no idea where this will go, especially considering Gina only goes for men whose status is “bike messenger ... or higher.”

There was a lot of fun had in “Undercover” and I have faith in the future of this show for sure.

I will admit the writers have my full permission to work in as many flashbacks of Peralta undercover as possible. Once you Joel together, you bond together.

NOT A MISSION TRIP

Despite annoyance, travel problems are worth experience I knew it was going to happen.

I knew that despite the replacement chargers, extra bottles of Advil and a plethora of bug spray and sunblock, eventually something would happen to me in Rwanda for which I was woefully unprepared.

My computer is broken.

According to my assessment, it has the equivalent of a flesh stab wound. It hasn’t hit any major arteries, but there’s the potential for it to bleed out. Currently, it’s in a self-induced coma. We’ll know more in the morning.

This is currently being written using old-fashioned pen and paper.

I’m writing from the light of a single bare bulb, which is the usual form of lighting in modest Rwandan homes. I’m within the safety of the alsotypical mosquito net canopy, enclosed in a sea of frothy white. Malaria-infected mosquitos won’t be sucking on my blood tonight.

If this reaches you, know that either my computer has resurrected itself or I have found access to a different one.

Please take hope in that, as I know you must be concerned.

My computer breaking down the night before a research proposal and, incidentally, this column were due is something I thought could potentially happen.

Not to mention in Eastern Africa my access to computer repair centers is limited.

There just wasn’t a high probability, just like the chances of my luggage not arriving when I first got here were slim. And yet, that happened to me too.

At home, technical difficulties may be annoying, but they’re manageable. You know exactly where your resources are and how to use them.

One of the biggest

differences with living abroad is realizing an absence of that security.

Sometimes it’s just different resources.

Here, I can get my computer fixed. People use laptops here, too, and this is a big city. I know there are computer repair centers.

It’s just that finding one requires something extra. It requires a special trip to town in a cramped, sweaty bus that’s actually a van.

It involves counting on the fact that my computer technician can speak English without really being able to guarantee it.

This new environment has lost a bit of its initial glamour, and I’m looking at it more practically as a place I’m living in for the next two months.

It would be a whole lot easier now to just take my computer to UITS like I could in Bloomington. The fact that I could fix this problem so easily at home makes me pretty bitter right now.

In the end, though, these little annoyances of travel work out.

My luggage did arrive from Nairobi only a day late, safe and sound.

I’ve located a computer repair center, and I probably won’t have to replace my whole computer.

These annoyances are not the best parts of traveling, for sure. There’s no free IT help across the street here.

And yet the best parts of being here are so much more rewarding than the best parts of everyday life at home.

So it doesn’t matter if I have to sacrifice a few comforts along the way. I’m making a tradeoff.

All in all, I think it’s a good trade. cjellert@indiana.edu

Prince released “Art Official Age” and “PlectrumElectrum” on Tuesday.

“Art Official Age” was described as “classic Prince,” since it was produced, arranged, composed and performed by the singer alongside singer-songwriter Joshua Welton,

according to CNN. “Plectrumelectrum” features all-female group ThirdEyeGirl.

“No one can play like this band,” Prince told Rolling Stone. “People are going to try, but they won’t be able to.”

Jazz band to play at Bear’s

By Audrey Perkins audperki@indiana.edu | @AudreyNLP

Mitchel Shiner graduated from IU with a bachelor of music in jazz studies last May. Last August, he released a CD titled “Fly!” with the BloomingTones Big Band, a group he created in 2011. Tonight, Shiner is coming back to campus to perform at Bear’s Place with his band.

“It is such a nice feeling to come back to campus for this show,” Shiner said in an email. “I am excited to bring this music back here for this special occasion.”

He currently lives in Indianapolis along with a handful of the band’s other graduated members.

Other members are scattered around the world, in places such as Australia and New York City.

The original group contained 19 members, and all were students.

All will be at the event tonight, including a couple special guests, he said.

Shiner said he does not want people to think of stereotypical jazz when they hear his music tonight.

“I think that the jazz category has two conflicting connotations,” he said.

“Sometimes when people think of jazz, they immediately start snapping their fingers on an imaginary two and four and think of flappers dancing in a speakeasy in 1935.”

However, jazz has evolved so much since that time, Shiner said.

Contemporary jazz music includes rhythms and harmonies from other cultures in Cuba, India, Iran and Brazil.

At times, artists modernize their music by incorporating electronics into their work, he said.

“I think my music has one foot in traditional material and another foot in the present,” he said. “For example, one of the tracks on ‘Fly!’ is my arrangement of Miley Cyrus’s ‘Wrecking

Ball.’”

In this interpretation, Shiner said he combined religious music from Cuba with Miley’s pop hit.

“The chart begins in a modern-swing style, but quickly morphs into an aggressive Afro-Cuban vamp,” he said.

Shiner said creating a CD was incomparable to anything he had ever done in college.

It was all-consuming. No

long-term research paper, no transcription assignment or anything else could ever top this experience, he said.

Most of the music was written in the summer of 2013, but the skill that went into the work took years to accumulate.

Shiner credited his classes with music Professor Brent Wallarab for his ability to create the work.

Faculty in the Music School were also featured in

the CD. The BloomingTones went into the studio in January and released their CD on Aug. 19.

After a couple months of being on the airwaves, Shiner said his music has been picked up on 125 different radio stations throughout the world.

“It’s really a dream come true for me,” he said. “I am very excited to officially get ‘Fly!’ off the ground.”

Local painter opens exhibit Q&A with Alyssa Condotti Friday at Bellevue Gallery on Dance for Parkinson’s

By Alison Graham

By Alexis Daily

akgraham@indiana.edu @AlisonGraham218

aledaily@indiana.edu | @Alex_Daily1

The Farmer House Museum will open its newest exhibit Friday featuring local artist Don Geyra.

Geyra’s exhibit “Five Senses” aims to represent touch, smell, sound, sight and taste.

The 12 exhibit paintings also feature narratives dealing with a variety of subjects.

“The other paintings in the show are about looking very hard at subjects and looking for stories,” Geyra said. “There’s a story in each painting.”

Although the paintings are technically in a twodimensional medium, they have a sculptural quality, Farmer House Museum Director Emily Purcell said.

This sculptural quality gives the paintings a solid presence in the room.

“I think people should look forward to seeing the objects in person because it’s more of an experience than you would think,” Purcell said. “It’s certainly something that has to be experienced in person.”

One painting depicts a staircase landing in an old building.

“You can really imagine how your feet would sound on the stairs, how the floorboards creak and how it smells,” Purcell said. “It’s very evocative.”

The Farmer House Museum is a partner of the Bellevue Gallery, which is a group of local artists founded around the year 1987.

The group meets once a

Alyssa Condotti, a senior majoring in kinesiology of dance and nonprofit management, is the artistic director of Dance for Parkinson’s Disease, a national program that helps individuals with Parkinson’s express themselves through movement, according to the website.

The group will be at Rachael’s Café for Lee Formwalt’s book signing 3 p.m.

Oct. 5.

Condotti said Formwalt, who regularly attends the Dance for Parkinson’s Disease classes, opened up the signing to the Dance for Parkinson’s Disease class, giving the program an opportunity to reach out to more people in the Bloomington area.

month to plan shows and talk about art and is open to anyone who wants to join.

Geyra is a new member and took the opportunity to show his artwork at the museum.

Geyra received his master of fine arts in painting from IU in 1977. After graduating he worked in New York and became a prominent scenic painter for Broadway and film projects.

He painted entire scenes for movie sets, including the movie “I Am Legend,” which required him to work with 20 other artists on a backdrop as big as two acres.

Geyra moved back to Bloomington after working in New York and has worked as a painter in the community ever since.

His exhibit at the Bellevue Gallery will be open until the end of November, and there will be a reception from 5 to 8 p.m. Oct. 3 at the Farmer House Museum.

“I think that it should open up people’s minds to the idea of narrative in painting,” Purcell said.

“They become more open to the idea that they can be affected by a painting and that a painting can really tell a story.”

Q What does Dance for Parkinson’s hope to accomplish at the event this weekend?

A We’ll be letting people know what we do each week in Dance for Parkinson’s Disease.

We just want everyone to know what we’re doing each week because it truly is a beautiful space to create and make friends.

We want volunteers, people who want to dance in their later years, people who have Parkinson’s who think they can’t dance at this stage, and we want to show them that we can. It’s a great space no matter what progressive neurological disease one might be facing.

Q Is the goal of the group to raise money for Parkinson’s

Disease research or to help the individuals express themselves through movement?

A It’s interesting. Parkinson’s manifests itself during tremors at rest, so when our dancers are moving, it’s almost as if they are entering an oasis without their disease.

They can escape the reality and what this debilitating disease brings to them on a daily basis.

We teach rhythms and dance movements so they can employ them into their daily life so they can find peace while doing monotonous movements like picking up a hairbrush or cooking dinner.

Not only do we find a space for people to create a community and nonjudgmental space, but we also try and employ things throughout our class that will aid them in their daily life.

Q What kinds of events has Dance for Parkinson’s held in the past?

A We’ve been meeting every single week since September of 2012. We’re developing and growing stronger each year.

This is my first year as the artistic director, and I’m thrilled to have that sort of influence on the group. Each year we’ve become more well known from people in the community because we include anyone who wants to dance. It’s a great, creative space to discover freedom of movement and expression.

Q What has your experience been like with Dance for Parkinson’s?

A I began just as a teaching

assistant, and then in December of 2012, the director of the national program trained so I could be a teacher, which I’ve been since January of 2013.

About 10 people come and dance together, and we really just create a safe space for something that might be seen as a socially isolating disease.

We make sure it is an open forum for creativity, expression and really anything that anyone wants to bring to the class. It’s been a fantastic learning experience.

In July of this year, I got promoted to artistic director.

Now I attend all board meetings, supervise other teachers who have recently been trained and really just trying to expand this 501(c)(3) into something greater than it already is.

Q What does participating in this program mean to you?

A To me, personally, it means using dance as more than making myself feel good, it’s using dance as a therapeutic tool to show others that your body is not a limit and that their body is a tool they can use to express themselves each week.

They can find peace and understanding in that and that they can understand that they are artists and that they can express what they need to express with their bodies, although it may seem to them like a limitation. But it is completely the opposite.

They are still beautiful artists, dancers and creators, and I find what they do so much more beautiful than what I can do in the studio.

More like ‘E-D-Meh’ ‘Sryo’ BAttempting a comeback or reunion is equivalent to walking on the razor’s edge.

After lying dormant for so many years, most artists are faced with the insurmountable task of trying to please old fans while simultaneously trying to gain a larger fanbase.

Some pull it off in spades, including Swans, R.E.M., Brian Wilson and Black Sabbath, and while others monumentally fail on every single level, including Smashing Pumpkins, Guns N’ Roses, anything Sly and the Family Stone has done after 1973.

Aphex Twin, emerging a mere 13 years after his 2001 effort “Drukqs,” lands somewhere in the middle.

Aphex Twin or rather, Richard D. James, is not a person to take lightly.

Not only has he released a schizophrenic string of highly regarded albums, but his influence has stretched beyond the borders of electronica.

Radiohead, Daft Punk, and even the Red Hot Chili Peppers have struck a chord with his music among many, many others.

However, after “Drukqs” received a lukewarm response, Aphex Twin suddenly vanished, unlike James, occasionally surfacing to release a handful of

compilations and reissues.

Then, as quickly as it disappeared, James has revived his most famous moniker after more than a decade of silence.

Needless to say, the new album, “Syro,” doesn’t reach its desired expectations.

That’s not to say it isn’t good - but after leaving devotees so long in the dark, the outcome should’ve been more grand in scale.

“Syro” seems like a returnto-roots record, emanating vibes reminiscent of past releases, most notably “...I Care Because You Do” and “ Selected Ambient Works 8592,” except emitting a much brighter tone.

While that’s hardly a bad thing, the problem is that “Syro” ironically doesn’t do

much to stand out from the crowd of electronic artists that James inspired.

Perhaps it’s unfair to expect something glorious and groundbreaking from Richard D. James, who was a massive driving force in his field during the 1990s.

He obviously wanted to release a quality product and succeeded.

Rather than bursting through the door and blasting open a bottle of champagne, he instead walks in with a case of beer and a good personality.

Instead of what I was expecting, a horror story a la Agatha Christie, mystery and tragedy all rolled into one, I got a snarky but deeply evocative study of modern marriage and modern psychoses.

Spoiler number one: the book is not what you expect.

The story is about a New York couple forced by family commitments to move to Missouri.

The husband, Nick Dunne, is forgetful but not dumb.

He could kill someone if he wanted to.

The wife, Amy Dunne, is sad but loyal.

Underneath her surface she hides dark secrets.

Someone might want to kill her because of them.

It’s no surprise when Amy goes missing.

What happens next, while sometimes predictable and too often pandering, is at its core a troubling cautionary tale of perfectionism, domestic violence and revenge.

It does not seem like the place for ironic humor or cheerfulness, but that’s sometimes what you get.

Whether or not it works is based on the reader’s preference.

For me, I’d rather it stayed a little more serious,

PAGE 10 | OCT. 2, 2014 especially given the gravity of some of the major plot twists, and the overarching themes of abuse and sexual violence.

The movie, however, looks like it might pull weight where the book slacked off.

David Fincher directed the new movie based on the book, titled the same and co-written by its author, Gillian Flynn. That could mean one of two things.

Either Flynn fleshed out her story or she made the same pitfalls as she did while writing the novel, trading character studies for stereotypes and driving the narrative on plot alone.

It’s a plot that’s good but not perfect. It needs rounded characters, and instead they’re just a little flat.

That’s the unfortunate thing about the book itself.

Its story, while disturbing, remains relatively unsurprising.

Amy and Nick float just at surface level.

They’re one-dimensional in a story that moves in three dimensions. While they move the emotions of the reader, it is hard to latch onto and get invested in them. That’s not to mention the plot holes big enough to drive a train through.

The movie looks like it might just take it to the next level or fall incredibly flat.

Just as it’s a plot that needs full characters, it’s a book that needs a good movie. In the expert hands of David close to your chest. Study and make plans.

Fincher, who’s directed character-study pieces like “The Social Network” and psychologically driven films like “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,” the movie might just make it.

Moreover, whoever was in charge of casting needs an award. Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike as Nick and Amy Dunne might just be the greatest thing since Oreos and peanut butter.

The movie needs a goofy but good-looking guy and a sweet-faced blonde fairy in order to work, and that’s what they got.

In short, the actors needed to be beautiful but able to play some pretty twisted people, and the story needed a director that was able to push Flynn to dig into her story a little bit more and explore the inner workings of her characters’ minds and motivations.

I have high hopes for this film.

The book, while it may clunk here and stutter there, is essentially a rocksolid piece, and it ends on the perfect ping of a note.

Flynn may not be a terribly deep writer, but she knows how to work a reader and end a story.

If Fincher can capture that and push the story even further, I think I may have found my new favorite film.

It already looks like the intense, twisting murder mystery it’s supposed to be.

Houses !!!! Need a place to Rent?

Hey everyone I’m a Bassist looking to start a band here in Bloomington. The genre I’m looking to focus on is mainly rock/alternative rock. Think Led Zepplin meets Cage the Elephant. We could even include a little pop punk in there, but right now I’m wanting to focus on that.

Also I’m wanting to travel to play shows in my hometown (Louisville, Ky) which has an amazing music scene too.

My name is Moon. My past band reached 1,500 likes in less than a year.
