‘LOVE TRUMPS HATE’ Hoosiers grapple with presidential election outcome By IDS Campus staff
Shortly after President-elect Donald Trump gave his victory speech around 3:30 a.m., Kirkwood Avenue was silent. There was no music from any bars and no crowd celebrating $2 Tuesday. A car rolled down Indiana Avenue, and the driver leaned out the window to shout at a few stragglers on the sidewalk. “It’s the end of the world as we know it,” he sang. “It’s the end of the world as we know it, and I don’t feel fine.” Many Hoosiers were asleep at this time. Some went to bed knowing who had won, and some woke up the next morning to discover who the next president would be. Students, faculty and staff would spend the next 24 hours trying to understand the effect this decision would have on the country.

Students protest Trump at Showalter Fountain By Chris Mura | cmura@indiana.edu | @chris__mura
Tables were pushed aside in Elizabeth Dunn’s 9:30 a.m. I304: Refugees and Displaced People class. For the first time this semester, the class of about 30 sat in a circle. Forgetting lesson plans, students faced one another somberly addressing the decision that was made clear only hours before. “What will this mean for refugees?” Dunn asked her class. “What will this mean for the families we are working to bring to Bloomington?” With a Donald Trump presidency, an executive order could potentially halt refugee acceptance in the United States, reversing a recent decision by the state department to allow about 60 refugees to relocate to Bloomington in March. This could place the class’ semester-long project on hold indefinitely. “This election leaves us in a really uncertain state,” Dunn said. “We’re extremely disappointed at the misinformation circulating about refugees during the campaign and extremely worried about the future of those who are being targeted in ad-
Students and other Bloomington citizens huddled together to protect themselves against the cold Wednesday evening around Showalter Fountain and carried signs on cardboard and pieces of cloth. “He’s not my president!” “When they go low, we go high” “Not my America.” A few hecklers walked by wearing red ‘Make America Great Again’ hats and yelled “Trump train!” in passing. The crowd responded in a unified chant: “Love trumps hate”. Students gathered to express their disbelief with Donald Trump’s election and to offer hope for those who shared their experiences with discrimination. Luke Robbins, a sophomore who organized the rally on Facebook against Trump’s presidential election, was part of a group of students standing in front of the IU Auditorium. The group held signs saying “Love Trumps Hate,” a slogan that was repeated frequently throughout the evening. “Before I went to bed, I was still kind of shocked that our nation voted for discrimination, racism and sexism, but that’s not going to discourage us,” Robbins said. “Hillary Clinton won more votes, so that means there’s still more of us that believe that love trumps hate.” About 100 people attended the rally, which was open to all members of the Bloomington community. Although most of the attendees were students, some people came with their children or families to be among like-minded people after an election that seemed to legitimize discrimination. Aubrey Pulley came to the rally with her 7 1/2-year-old daughter Esmé, who played with balloons while Pulley watched. “She’s the future,” Pulley said. “I try to bring her places where she can see people invested in change.” As the night grew later, students gathered in a circle to discuss their own personal experiences with discrimination. They passed a megaphone from speaker to speaker as the students told stories of

Women’s health clinics receive grants Male exposes genitals By Lindsay Moore liramoor@indiana.edu @_lindsaymoore
Male shows his genitals to IU students near 10th Street From IDS reports
An IU student reported a man followed her home, dropped his pants and began masturbating in front of her and her roommate Tuesday afternoon. She described the man as around 30 years old, white with dirty blond hair and light facial hair. He was about 5-foot-10 with a thin build. The man was wearing a gray zip-up hoodie and light colored jeans. Around 4 p.m., the student told police she was walking down 10th Street when she noticed a man following SEE EXPOSURE, PAGE 6
They were expecting a knockout, but what they got was another round in the ring. The group of Planned Parenthood and All Options Pregnancy Center supporters originally planned to meet in celebration of the first female president. Instead, they lined the sidewalks of the Monroe County Courthouse and started chanting. “We are unstoppable. Another world is possible,” the crowd chanted at passing cars on Kirkwood Avenue. The group gathered Wednesday night before the Monroe County Council’s vote on grant funding for Planned Parenthood and All Options Pregnancy Center. In the courthouse lawn, the supporters circled up and expressed how they were feeling after the election of Republican President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence. Fear. Disbelief. Anger.
Mayor John Hamilton spoke to the nearly 50 supporters and told them to unify, reenergize and reflect after this election. “Bloomington is the same community it was 48 hours ago,” he said. “We stand for what we stand for, and I’m proud of that.” Pro-life and pro-choice supporters came out to voice their opinions on the allocation of funds to community organizations through the Sophia Travis Community Service Grant. The community service grant committee assigned $3,250 for All Options Pregnancy Center and $2,000 for Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky. Although the grant would not provide money to Planned Parenthood’s abortion services or All Options’ Hoosier Abortion Fund, the right to choose was the main topic of discussion. “We are smart enough to do this,” said Penny Githens, former Democratic candidate for State Representative of District 60. “If you trust us to have these children and rear these children, then trust us to choose.”
Councilwoman Marty Hawk moved to separate Planned Parenthood and All Options Pregnancy Center from the longer list of community organizations receiving funds such as the Indiana Recovery Alliance, Girls Inc. and Middle Way House. Hawk said she felt she could not support the family-planning organizations because of their ties to abortion services. The council heard about 35 residents voice their opinions during the public comment portion of the meeting. The first to speak was Monroe County resident Zachary Branham, who expressed his concern with hormones used in birth control. Branham’s mother, Rhonda, and younger sister, Katie, also spoke out against Planned Parenthood’s health care. “How do we persuade women not to have an abortion?” Katie Branham said. “As always, we must persuade her with love. Abortion is the greatest destroyer of love.” Money given from the grant supports Planned Parenthood’s

Women’s Health Fund, which provides financial support for low-income patients seeking birth control, sexually transmitted infection testing and treatment, and colposcopies. This money is not used for abortion services. While pro-life supporters argued for stronger leaders to stand up against abortion providers on the basis of hormonal side effects of birth control and the morality of terminating pregnancies, prochoice supporters chose anecdotes to state their case.

ELECTION 2016
Students express worry about election results By Lydia Gerike lgerike@umail.iu.edu | @lydi_yeah
As election night wore on into the early hours of the morning, hope turned to disbelief, which then turned to fear. Small pockets of students lingered in Franklin Hall well after Tuesday, Nov. 8, had turned into the first Wednesday of the next four years. The last students who remained had stayed all night, listened to Media School panels and watched on the oversized screen as Donald Trump claimed more and more states on the results maps. Some expressed their emotions with tears. Others spoke out in anger against the results. “I was hopefully going to see the first woman elected president of the United States,” junior Maggie Wolfe said. “Unfortunately, I am not. I am seeing an orange monster be elected. I was drawn here because I wanted to see history being made, but now I am seeing history going the opposite direction as I thought.” Wolfe and junior Jess Magill said they originally planned to spend the evening off campus but found themselves still in Franklin Hall past 1:30 a.m. because they could not tear themselves away from the election. The longer they stayed, the angrier the two, especially Magill, became.
Magill was born in Asia but was adopted and raised in an American household. Magill said she comes from a politically split household, but the arguments over Bernie Sanders and Clinton, not Trump and Clinton, still reflected her liberal upbringing. Vocal about her dislike of Trump, she said she couldn’t support anyone who made the decision to vote for a third party candidate or, even worse, not vote at all. “This does not come down to parties, it does not come down to economics,” Magill said. “This comes down to what you believe in, and if you believe that a monster deserves to take away women’s rights, minorities’ rights, then it’s disgusting. Our country has honestly failed.” Wolfe said she was especially appalled by the actions of Republican leaders, like Paul Ryan, who favored party lines enough to choose Trump instead of their own beliefs. “If anybody who was outwardly racist, misogynistic, xenophobic as Donald Trump was running as a Democrat, I would not vote for them,” Wolfe said. Even after Barack Obama became president, graduate student Jacques Rozier said he knew how the U.S. felt about him, as a black man. In a country led by Trump, he said he believes people will feel even more empowered to make hateful comments.

Students Sheila Ragavendran, left, and Amanda Marino watch and wait in the atrium of Franklin Hall as a close race leaves the winner of the 2016 presidential election uncertain early Wednesday morning.
“I’m scared for myself. I’m scared for my friends,” Rozier said. “You know, not just other blacks, but my gay friends, my lesbian friends, my Hispanic friends, my Muslim friends, my Hindu friends. I’m scared for us all.” Indian-American sophomore Sheila Raghavendran said she feels unsafe as a racial minority under a Trump presidency. She is also worried about what this might mean for the LGBT community and the
freedoms, like equal marriage, it has gained under the Obama administration. “I think in the past eight years our country has seen a lot of progress, and to rewind that would be a mistake and would be scary for a lot of people, so I fear that,” Raghavendran said. Despite the implications this election could have for the country, senior Amanda Marino said she isn’t scared of Trump. She said she is holding strong to the freedom
of expression she can now use to speak out against the country’s decision. She said she knows the other half of voters chose not to elect the businessman. It gives her hope to rise above the electoral decision. “That’s not my America. That’s not something I can get behind, but I will continue to support America because that’s not all of us,” Marino said. “If it’s this close, there are enough people that can agree with me that this is not

Panel encourages bipartisanship By Lydia Gerike lgerike@umail.iu.edu | @lydi_yeah
Before the election was decided, before the United States knew who would take control of the highest office in January, Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller was already focused on helping IU move forward. After reaching out prior to Election Day, Zoeller joined the College Republicans and Democrats of IU in a discussion, Civility in Politics, Wednesday evening in the Indiana Memorial Union Dogwood Room. “Partisanship has been like a cancer,” Zoeller said. He discussed the importance of coming together across party lines and used President Obama’s health care law as an example of legislation that could have been achieved with compromise. Zoeller said he is for the idea of universal health care but Congress failed to
support its potential. “When you have all the Republicans against it and all the Democrats for it, you’re declaring war,” Zoeller said. Partisan politics is part of the reason Zoeller is not running for another term as attorney general, he said. After gaining experience in the private sector and working for six years as a staff member in the attorney general’s office, he said his work, not his party, helped give him the confidence he needed to even consider a run in 2008. In the wake of yesterday’s results, Zoeller reminded the audience that despite what they may feel, the U.S. is not close to becoming 1930s Germany. The country still has checks and balances afforded by the Constitution, he said. “The instrumentalities of government are still intact,” Zoeller said. “Our system is
a lot stronger than a Donald Trump presidency.” IU Democrats director of community outreach Kegan Ferguson said he was doubtful of this claim. He said he believes Democrats are now unfairly faced with showing humility to a president who refused to do the same at any point since announcing his candidacy. “The onus is on all of us to come together and respect the Donald Trump presidency when the campaign hasn’t done that,” Ferguson said. Although he did not vote for Trump, College Republicans at IU President Brian Gamache said he is ready to accept what comes next. He said Trump’s victory speech gave him hope for the next four years. “Let’s at least try to work together moving forward,” Gamache said. Toward the end of event, the Democrats’ social me-
dia director, junior Courtney Schwerin, cried quietly at the back of the room. She said Trump’s win has awoken a mix of sadness and disappointment inside her. “I can’t help but be upset,” Schwerin said. She finally broke down while listening to Ferguson tell the room Clinton faced sexism in the election and probably would have had a better chance at winning had she been a man. For Schwerin, who wants to go to law school after she graduates, it’s hard feeling that she might be considered more qualified if she were a man. Even as she fears for her prospects, Schwerin said she is hopeful for the future of political civility. She thinks the millennial generation has begun to make cooperation a priority for the future. “I think we have a different attitude than our parents,” Schwerin said.
Physicist discusses history of the universe By Hussain Ather sather@umail.iu.edu | @SHussainAther
Brian Schmidt, vice chancellor of the Australian National University and 2011 Physics Nobel Prize winner, explained the origins and future of the universe Wednesday night in the Whittenberger Auditorium. “No matter what you think is happening on Earth today, the universe is a calm, beautiful place,” Schmidt said as the audience laughed halfheartedly. In 1994 while serving as postdoctoral research associate at the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, Schmidt lead the High-Z Supernova Search team, IU President Michael McRobbie said. In 2011 Schmidt won the Nobel Prize in Physics for showing the expansion of the universe is speeding up with his work as part of this team. “Schmidt gained an appreciation for nature and science at an early age,” McRobbie said. Cosmologists believe an unknown force, dark energy, causes this growth and makes up more than 70 percent of the universe. In cosmology, the study of the origins of the universe, astronomers have studied the faint light from stars and planets. “When you looked at the light’s spectrum, it was

stretched by the redness of a star’s spectrum due to the Doppler effect,” Schmidt said. Similar to the increasing frequency of an approaching police car siren, light from stars changes color as those stars move. Early 20th-century scientists measured the speed of nearby galaxies through these changes in light’s color. “It’s not that objects are moving away from us,” Schmidt said. “More that the space between us is expanding and stretching light.” Schmidt shared animated images of planets and stars zooming past one another throughout the history of the cosmos. “If you’re going the speed of light you can go around the earth about seven and a half times in one second,”
who we are.” It may be a while until they know what comes next, but for now, the crowd that was gathered in Franklin Hall has nothing left to do but wait and see what happens after Trump takes his oath of office. “He may end up being one of the best presidents we have, we don’t know,” Rozier said. “But I do know that he empowers hate and fear in this country, and that alone should make anyone scared.”
Schmidt said. Using the speed of light to describe the vastness of space, Schmidt explained the moon is one and a half light-seconds away from earth and the sun is about eight light-minutes away. The light that reaches people on Earth, and the images people see of the moon and sun are delayed by these times, Schmidt said. “Here we’re looking back more than 12 billion years into the past,” Schmidt said, showing a photograph of hundreds of bright dots, each one of them a galaxy. “But it is only 1 thirteen-millionth of the entire sky.” Through more pictures of nebula and stars, Schmidt showed just how big the universe is.
If the sun were a basketball at IU, the next closest star system, Alpha Centauri would be in Canberra, Australia, Schmidt said. “This is the universe 13.8 billion years ago,” Schmidt said, displaying an specked photograph with bright blue and red dots. “The universe was a billion times denser than it is now, thousands of times hotter, a time when the universe was born in a big bang.” Schmidt speculated on the future of the universe as well as the possibility of extraterrestrial life. “In roughly 5 or 6 billion years from now, the sun is going to explode and destroy the Earth,” Schmidt said. It will collapse in a supernova explosion into a tiny star called a white dwarf, spreading material throughout the cosmos Schmidt said. “When people ask me if there’s life out there, I just say ‘I don’t know’,” Schmidt said. “I know there are a lot of chances for it.” When you win a Nobel Prize, they call you up and tell you, ‘Hi, you’ve just won a Nobel Prize. Have fun.’ Schmidt said. Upon accepting the prize, Schmidt gave the King of Sweden a bottle of wine from his own winery. “Nobel prizes are ultimately about celebrating science,” Schmidt said.
Hoosiers discuss results at La Casa By Emily Miles elmiles@iu.edu | @EmilyLenetta
There were not enough chairs for everyone who gathered 7 p.m. Wednesday in La Casa Latino Cultural Center for a discussion about election results. “Hey, I didn’t even hug you yet,” a young woman said as she embraced an attendee. Hugs filled the room before everyone settled into their seats and onto the floor of adjoining cramped rooms. The people who chatted and hugged were born in Mexico, Brazil and the United States among other countries. They leaned over a table stocked with Keebler cookies and coffee. While most stayed in the living room, some came specifically for an UndocuHoosier Alliance meeting and departed for the conference room. When they first met in August, UHA members discussed sponsoring the Indiana Undocumented Youth Alliance and creating a brochure to inform undocumented students about attending college. Today the meeting was different. The election of Donald Trump warranted the careful drafting of a letter asking IU to stand in support of undocumented Hoosiers. Members brainstormed a list of organizations and professors to ask for solidarity. Professors and students and members of the community were angry, sad or a mix of both. For some, Trump was a symbol of oppression, regression and ignorance, but they recognized, for others, he is a symbol of change and
bringing back a certain set of values, yet those people did not gather in La Casa to cover their soft sobs with napkins. Some of the people had run out of tears throughout the day. Some wanted to cry but could not. Silences punctuated comments. “You don’t have to worry about it,” IU freshman Jessica Benitez had heard too many times. “You were born here.” “You don’t even look Mexican,” they said. The people who said these kinds of things didn’t think about the ripple effect. They didn’t realize their political red translated to her pain. “I just want to say I hope you feel comfortable coming to La Casa more often,” IU Ph.D. candidate Eric César Morales said to Benitez. “There’s a lot of us here that will welcome you.” Some of the people in the room voted for Clinton, and some voted for Jill Stein. Some of the people’s parents had come to the U.S. as undocumented immigrants in the 1970s. Some had been searching for a path to citizenship since the early 1990s. Some of the people had to explain to their younger sisters and brothers that a portion of the country they woke up in would get rid of them out of convenience. Some fielded phone calls from their mothers and fathers, who advised them to take karate and promised they would become a citizen by the next election. At one man’s suggestion, many of the people, with their vastly different experiences and futures, moved out to Showalter Fountain to join the Rally for Love.

ELECTION 2016
Hillary Clinton delivers concession speech By Melanie Metzman mmetzman@indiana.edu @melanie_metzman
Hillary Clinton walked on to the stage at the New Yorker Hotel with a smile on her face, but her words had a different message. “I’m sorry we didn’t win this election for the values we share and the vision we hold for this country,” Clinton said. Clinton addressed staff members and supporters in her official concession speech this morning. Clinton spoke to Donald Trump in a private phone call early Wednesday morning but did not make an official concession speech until late Wednesday morning. Trump won the presidency with 276 electoral votes, and Clinton obtained 228. However, with 98 percent of precincts reporting in, Clinton won the popular vote with about 59.4 million votes compared to Trump’s 59.2 million votes. “However, Donald Trump is going to our president,” Clinton said. “We owe him an open mind and a chance to lead.” The country is more
divided than the people thought, Clinton said. The country had made it “uniquely difficult for a woman to be elected to federal office,” Sen. Tim Kaine said in his introduction for Clinton’s concession. Nevertheless, Clinton’s dreams of empowering women and children remain, he said. The Clinton campaign planned to ring in election night Tuesday night at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center on the west side of Manhattan. The building, described by the New York Times as an “unglamorous glass fortress,” symbolized the glass ceiling Clinton would break if she were to be elected president. But the glass ceiling remains intact. Donald Trump is now president-elect. Nothing has made Clinton more proud than to be a champion for all women, she said. She told all little girls never to doubt their value, power and they deserve every chance in the world to achieve their dreams. “Being your candidate has been one of the greatest honors of my life,” Clinton said.

Locals discuss refugee families By Dominick Jean drjean@indiana.edu | @Domino_Jean
More than 100 people, old and young, walked into the Monroe County Public Library auditorium Wednesday night to discuss their concerns with bringing refugee families into Bloomington. “Refugee resettlement is not what people think it is,” investigative journalist James Simpson said. The forum was organized after Exodus Refugee Immigration Inc., an refugee-resettlement group working with the federal government, had decided to open an office in Bloomington. Exodus plans to move 20 refugee families to Bloomington with the possibility of more refugees to come later. Robert Hall, the leader of the Grassroots Conservatives in Bloomington, and Diane Legomsky, the leader of the Bloomington Refugee Support Network, helped organize the event. The groups have engaged in several debates in the last few months, and many have mandated a police presence. Hall said he believed the forum helped foster a more civil discussion than before. Simpson joined Don Barnett, a fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies, and Christie Popp, an immigration lawyer, as members of a panel designed to answer questions and address misconceptions. Simpson said he has been looking at the refugee issue since the 1980s, and refugee resettlement has changed through the years. “It has become an increasingly big business,” Simpson said. Refugee-resettlement programs take $3 billion from the federal government, Simpson said. Barnett agreed and said the program is not only misunderstood, but it is confused with myths and misinformation which can distort the issue. “The program is held aloft by myths,” Barnett said. The program places fiscal burdens upon the individual states and the numbers of refugees is determined by the president of the United States each year, Barnett said. “The U.S. has always been
a welcome place to refugees,” Barnett said. “Make no mistake of that.” One of the other concerns brought by those at the forum was the question of vetting refugees and how to integrate them into the U.S. Popp said while the fear of terrorism is a legitimate fear, people cannot let fear stop them from helping others. She said the refugee situation in the U.S. is different from that in Europe and in particular in Paris. Following the Paris terrorist attacks in 2015, a number of states had concerns on accepting refugees. “We have a moral obligation,” Popp said. “Let’s not forget World War II.” During WWII, a number of Jewish refugees were denied entry to the United States and were sent back to Europe. Popp said this was not something she would want to see happen again. “It’s up to us as a community to come together and help the refugees,” Popp said. Panelists, given two minutes each, also attempted to answer what responsibilities Americans have to refugees. Simpson said the U.S. should take responsibility for many of the hardships in the Middle East but also said the country cannot and should not accept so many refugees. Popp said she agreed but argued with Simpson on where U.S. responsibility ends. She said citizens do have a responsibility to help. “I think it’s great we help so many people,” Popp said. “This is our mess we created in the Middle East.” Simpson said he has no problem helping people around the world but the refugee resettlement programs have become more about making money than helping people. While each panelist and each person at the event had their own arguments and views, Popp said no one is a bad person. Everyone wants to help in someway and people are coming at the issue from different angles, Popp said. “We all just want to make sure we’re doing the right thing,” Popp said.
People will tell us to accept it. They will tell us to move on, that we will stay united as a country regardless of who is president. They’ll say it’s not alright to keep bemoaning this defeat. Ignore them. Don’t lose hope, but don’t doubt for a second that we are not validated in our misery. This isn’t the sadness that comes after losing. It’s not like when your baseball team bombs the World Series and you’re devastated, but eventually you move on to, “We’ll get ‘em next season.” Presidential candidates are not baseball teams, and we are not sore losers. We are in mourning. Not all of us were in love with the idea of a Hillary Clinton presidency, but we at least accepted it as necessary. Clinton had to be the president because if she wasn’t, the most powerful
seat in the country — and possibly the world — would be filled by a racist, sexist, xenophobic, manipulative man with no respect for America’s citizens. We weren’t rooting for anyone; we just knew a win for Donald Trump would be a loss for everyone, not just Democrats. So we fought. We wrote words and shared articles and tried to reason with the other side. Whether or not we rallied behind Clinton, we at least mobilized against fear and hatred. We were so certain because the polls said we should be certain. There was little chance of her losing. Her path to winning was clean and easy, and his seemed impossible. We soon realized we were misled by the polls and data. Between 7 and 10 p.m., we knew something had gone terribly wrong when the chances of win-
ning flipped in the election forecasts. Our hearts plummeted into our stomachs, and we prayed for an upset. None came. We went to sleep in a stunned state of misbelief and awoke as if from a nightmare. We checked our phones to make sure it was real, and it was. We laid in bed in a stupor, wondering how we could be expected to eat and work and focus on anything but our own despair. It is OK for us to be angry. But we should also remember that we are not helpless. We may not have a strong voice in government anymore, but we have a voice among our peers. We can call out sexism in our male friends. We can start rational discussions among our family members about what it means to be casually racist. We can hold each other accountable.

We are not liberal because we vote blue. We are liberal because we care about people who are struggling because of their race, or their religion, or their gender or sexual identity. We care about making the United States equal for everyone, and we see a future where this is possible. Don’t give up on this future. Don’t stop fighting. Because as Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” For now, let your emotions run wild, and don’t let anyone tell you you’re wrong for feeling a certain way. Just don’t forget that it is our own actions that define us, not our political affiliation. cnheeke@indiana.edu

MULLING IT OVER WITH MERM
EDITORIAL BOARD
History always repeats itself
ILLUSTRATION BY EMILY TATUM | IDS
Trump’s America Will Trump be able to unite our broken nation? Now that the dust has settled, Donald Trump has won the presidential election against the odds. Trump is the most controversial person ever elected as the President of the United States. There’s no denying his supporter base is very enthusiastic — millions of Republicans refused to vote for him, yet here we are. Who knows what form a Trump administration will take. After Obama spoke at the White House and Speaker of the House Paul Ryan addressed the nation in Wisconsin, it can only be assumed that our government officials will do their best to establish a peaceful transfer of power. At this point in time, we can only assume, but we think a Trump presidency will look something like this. President-elect Trump is a political novice, and he will look to Mike Pence to help him in his first months as an executive. Pence, currently the governor of Indiana, will have to hold Trump’s hand through the trials and tribulations of the new administration, and nobody can guess how long it’ll take for Trump to become an effective leader on his own. We imagine Trump will surround himself with allies
from his successful campaign. Figures like former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich will be rewarded for sticking by Trump’s side through a tumultuous campaign. Figures such as Ben Carson and Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-South Carolina, will likely be included as well. The Trump administration will appoint conservative justices to the Supreme Court, and the court will continue to have a balance of conservative and liberal justices. There will certainly be a learning curve for the Trump administration. Many of Trump’s policy promises will be unattainable with the current Congress, and this is probably for the best. His rallying cry and promise to build the wall will very likely never be fulfilled, but the administration will attempt to appease its voters. Congress will be increasingly important to check the administration’s power. However, the Trump campaign has stressed its policy goal for comprehensive and effective immigration reform, which clearly many Americans believe is much-needed. The policy goals of the administration remain to be seen. Everyone knows presi-
dent-elect Trump is an enigmatic figure, and nothing will change in that sense. The underlying question of a Trump presidency would be whether or not he can mend the divide within our country that the presidential campaign created. Many of his statements have been Islamophobic, anti-Hispanic and racist. He has alienated not only those minority groups, but he has also offended women with his brazen comments across the nation. The mending words evident in his victory speech will not be enough to heal the rift in our nation. It is not enough to put a Band-Aid on our nations wounds and walk away. In order to heal the wounds created by his destructive and hateful campaign, Trump will need to work tirelessly in order to unite our broken country and move society forward. At the end of the day, a Trump administration will be a one-term presidency, and this will be for the best. Electing the Trump-Pence ticket will prove to be a mistake, and Editorial Board looks forward to the day where America rids itself of their toxic administration. It may even be sooner than we think.
GUEST COLUMN
What Veterans Day means to me My grandfather served in the segregated Army units of World War II during a time when German prisoners of war were treated better than the African-American soldiers fighting for the United States. My father was unable to attend integrated schools growing up as a result of the south being reluctant to implement the Supreme Court ruling from Brown v. Board of Education, but he still wanted to serve in Vietnam despite the discrimination he faced at home. My brother served in Iraq and became a disabled veteran for his country. Two years after he returned, I enlisted in the United States Marine Corps reserves and eventually went on to active duty. The idea of military service is deeply rooted in the fabric of my family. For me, Veterans Day is both a time to honor those that have sacrificed so much in service of this great nation and a time to acknowledge that we still have work to do to advance our national dialogue around commitment, service and living a life that advances causes greater than one’s self. I joined the military in 2006 while in graduate school at a time when popular opinion had turned against the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Many of my classmates asked me why I would enlist in a war where I could possibly perish in combat. I told them I was frustrat-
ed with seeing my peers who were extremely militaristic in their views on war, able-bodied, highly supportive of the troops and did not have family responsibilities such as a spouse or children, but would never consider serving in the military. This was difficult for me to comprehend as they were passionate about America fighting terrorism and sending troops overseas but were not willing to put on a uniform to be in the fight. I knew I had to make a choice, and I chose to act. In early 2006, I went to Israel for a policy trip, and I saw Israel Defense Force soldiers serving their country. Once I returned from Israel, I immediately called the local Marine Corps recruiter. The recruiter seemed surprised by my decision to join, stating, “You are a graduate student, but you want to enlist as a private first class? Are you sure?” For me, this was a nobrainer, because I felt that I was needed and did not want to waste any time due to my insatiable desire to serve. I began to recount the stories of service of the men in my family who went to war when it may not have been widely accepted. I shared with him how my brother was a disabled veteran battling post traumatic stress disorder and how my father would not wear his uniform in public during the 1960s due to worries of be-

ing harassed by protestors. I shared stories of my grandfather’s return from war to find that he could not eat at public lunch counters or be served in certain stores due to the color of his skin. Their experiences motivated me to be a part of something greater in order to be an agent of change in the United States. They fought for the constitutional ideals of freedom and equality so I could have the opportunities to go to integrated schools, wear my uniform in public without fear of retribution and advocate for adequate health coverage for veterans returning home. Their commitment forced me to acknowledge the work that still needs to be done in the United States of America. These experiences compelled me to deviate from the path taken by the majority of my peers who were not willing to serve. Once I enlisted, I saw others who had similar stories who dared to be different at a time when it was not convenient, because service is never convenient. Veterans Day is about acknowledging those who sacrificed for the greater good, and thanking them for their service is what Veterans Day means to me. jasowell@indiana.edu
I’m sitting in front of my television watching the results of the election Tuesday night and wondering what to write about. How I can write something not politicsrelated? I’m sick of politics at this point. Everyone else is, too, but with how this election has gone, how can we talk about anything else? I’ve listened to newscasters describe this as the biggest upset in United States political history. This upset is not only in terms of who won but the vast amount of people who are now scared for their future. We all joked and joked about how funny it would be if Trump were elected when this all started. By the end of the night on Nov. 8 and into the following morning, nobody was laughing. There were only cheers or very saddening silence. I want those who were cheering to take a moment and think about who will be affected. Yes, I know it is unlikely that our president will ever have the power to deport millions of citizens, but the prospect is still terrifying. I wanted to believe so strongly our country would never let hatred win. Looking back on our history, I really
shouldn’t be so surprised. Our history books are scant as is, so who knows how many people are aware of the terrible bloodshed on our hands. Not until college did I learn how American militia held guns to Native Americans in order to force them from their lands. Not until college did I learn the disgusting double standard that existed within interracial relationships in the not-so-deep south. I learned in my first semester of college just how much of a stain Christopher Columbus left on the fabric of human history. I believed myself to be fairly educated in terms of what we have been through and what we are going through. The national standard of history that is taught in high school or middle school fails to inform students what we grew from. How can you expect a nation that cannot afford higher education to be educated and make the right decision? With a basic historical education provided by the state school board standards, you know the terrible history of the rest of the world. What’s even more terrifying is the fact that history is a liberal arts degree. It’s not

guaranteed everywhere. America wants change so badly, and change is what it’s going to get in the next four years. Or maybe the government will be stuck at a stalemate, because suddenly, they’ll realize that they chose wrong. That’s wishful thinking. Mainly, I’m appalled that the citizens of Indiana could vote our very own governor into the White House despite knowing his strong feelings about the LGBT community and women. Please, save your comments of “It could be worse.” I know it could be worse. It has been worse — in our own country. You can’t argue that without considering who this is bad for, who it could be worse for, who has to suffer from these decisions. I guarantee the people telling me it could be worse have nothing to worry about. This is not a comforting statement. It’s a way to feel guilt free. mmgarbac@umail.iu.edu
GETTING IN THE GROOVE
Angry, but not doomed So begins “The Iliad”: “Rage — Goddess, sing the rage of Peleus’ son Achilles, / murderous, doomed, that cost the Achaeans countless losses.” Murderous and doomed. Full of rage. Those are the feelings that slowly crept up on me Tuesday night as I sat in my floor’s lounge with my floormates and watched the election results trickle in. I started the night out with optimism for a Hillary Clinton victory. That optimism soon turned to unease, then dread and disbelief. Finally, the result became evident: victory for Donald Trump. I don’t know what I expected, but it wasn’t this. Throughout the entire course of this election, I never truly believed — until the end of Tuesday night — that we would elect Trump. I wrote column after column about Trump, the entire time in shock that he was a viable candidate. I’ve always taken heart in this famous Anne Frank quote: “In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.” On Tuesday night, that faith took a big hit. Regardless of policy, Trump’s hate-
ful, divisive and bigoted rhetoric has always been a deal breaker for me. I thought it would be one for America, too. So when it became clear that the election was Trump’s instead of Clinton’s, I began to empathize with Achilles a little bit more. Full of rage at the decision of Agamemnon to take from him a girl that Achilles received as a spoil of war, Achilles resolves to quit fighting in the Trojan War until his honor is restored by Agamemnon. This election, for many Americans, is disheartening. Discouraging. Demoralizing. When faced with this landmark decision by our country to choose hate instead of tolerance and divisiveness instead of togetherness, we can take the same route that Achilles chooses when confronted with an outcome he doesn’t like. Quit. Stop caring. Ignore the world around us. Stop fighting for change, for equality and for a more perfect union. It’s an incredibly easy path to take. However, it’s the decision of a child. Of someone who, like Achilles, is in-

capable of realizing that their actions — or lack thereof — will have a huge effect on everyone else in the fight. Thanks to Achilles’ inaction, the Achaeans suffer huge losses. The war drags on far longer than necessary and results in an incredibly unnecessary loss of life. If we choose inaction in the wake of a Trump presidency, we are choosing selfishness. We are choosing the instant gratification of blind rage in lieu of action, perseverance and tenacity. It’s okay to be upset with the outcome of the election. I am — and more than I have words to express — but don’t follow in the footsteps of Achilles. Be angry, but do something about it. Get involved in politics. Work to register voters, to get the word out about policies you believe in. In doing so, we can be angry, but perhaps not doomed. acgroove@indiana.edu
THE COFFEE CHRONICLES
Don’t be cynical about IUDM The week before IU Dance Marathon is a chance to differentiate from people. There are people that are so excited for the weekend to occur, and then there are people that are so excited for the week to be over so they don’t have to keep hearing about IUDM, but I think that’s the wrong attitude to have. People are proud to be part of IUDM. They are dedicated and see it as something that they can do to make the world better. I, for one, think that it is high time that some people stop cynically tearing these people and this organization down. First, one complaint about IUDM that seems to be overarching is the fact that they are everywhere. You can’t walk down Kirkwood without seeing people soliciting donations, and everyone’s Facebook feed
come October is filled with donation posts. But is that a bad thing? I think one of the best qualities that IUDM has is its ability to market itself so well. IUDM has inspired so many people, especially newcomers, to become invested in the organization. While it may be irritating to see twelve donation posts one after another, I would rather see that than not see anyone care about a cause. I don’t do IUDM, but I admire all the people who work day after day to throw such a great event. Philanthropy is great, and the fact that people take an interest in it is amazing. I think that it was great that IUDM is so active in recruiting freshmen. Why do we knock down people who are trying to do good thing? Say what you will about IUDM, but the people who do it, who collect thousands of dollars for the cause,

are trying to do as much as they can to help a cause that they love. I can’t be cynical about that, and I won’t. IUDM does as much good as any organization can. Philanthropy is a great thing. The people who volunteer their time and energy are some of the most aweinsprining people that I can believe in. Be annoyed at the Facebook posts and walk in the other direction when you see canners, but please don’t discount the cause. Love it or hate it, IUDM gives more to people than complaining about IUDM does. You don’t have to do it, but please don’t mock those who do it. npatwari@indiana.edu

IU kicker experiencing slump By Jordan Guskey jguskey@indiana.edu | @JordanGuskey
A made kick can lead to another just as easily as a miss might lead to another, and another and another. Junior kicker Griffin Oakes is experiencing the latter. He missed a fourth-quarter attempt two weeks ago in IU’s win against Maryland and three more in the win over Rutgers. He also missed his first extra point of the year. The former Big Ten Kicker of the Year is now 11 of 20 on field goals for the season, and while the poor showing against Rutgers is not all on him, a miss is a miss is a miss. “Kicking and punting is, unfortunately, a streaky thing,” said Erich Toth, who punted for the Hoosiers from 2012 to 2015 and held Oakes’ field goals the past two seasons. “It’s just like golf, I mean you see guys win the Masters all the time and then go cold for a couple months, maybe even for a couple years. It’s a very streaky job.” IU Coach Kevin Wilson
said it’s on the 11-man kicking unit as a whole to right the ship. It’s not just Oakes’ fault. It’s the team’s fault. Against Rutgers, IU dealt with some protection issues, and Wilson pointed to a possible lack of complete trust between Oakes and sophomore holder Joseph Gedeon as one area that needs improvement. IU’s kickers have shown they have the leg to make the kicks. That’s not the issue. All 11, especially Oakes and Gedeon, must come together. Toth said the trio’s ability to do their jobs well is perfected through repetition, and, because this year features a new holder and snapper, it will take time to get up to speed. Wilson said he’s been calm in his approach to Oakes’ struggles, and in discussions pointed to past successes. “I’m actually a pretty good sports psychologist when I want to be,” Wilson said. “So, I’m just like, hey, man, come on. I mean, it’s hard to be a sports psychologist when a guy can’t. The guy can, and
I came in, you tell me whatever you want, and then you’ve got to work at it. It’s going to show up.” That’s the mindset Oakes has to have, Toth said. Doubt might creep in, but kickers have to be mentally tough and go out for the next one. When Toth was at IU, he said he felt the team had a strong bond, but the specialists like punters, kickers and long snappers especially had a strong bond. Most colleges, IU included, don’t have specific position coaches dedicated to these specialists, just coaches who understand what’s needed schematically. The group coaches themselves. Former kicker Mitch Ewald passed that down to Toth and former long snapper Matt Dooley, and Toth and Dooley passed it to Oakes, Gedeon and junior kicker Aaron Del Grosso. “I think those guys still do a pretty good job of that,” Toth said. “But it’s tough not having — we were always at a point where we had a senior figure there to be the leader.”
Toth said Oakes is still in the process of embracing the role, but it’s tough to be that guy and work through individual struggles. Toth texts and calls the current crop of specialists every week just to try to be as much of a resource as possible, but it’s part of the game that those specialists go through rough patches. “Luckily with college you don’t get cut, and it’s not your full-time job,” Toth said. “It’s a full-time job because it’s a Division I sport, but it’s not a way of life in the way it is in the NFL.” Eventually, they’ll get there. However, in Toth’s eyes, Oakes’ rebound after missing an overtime field goal in the 2016 bowl game loss to Duke shows he’s mentally tough. “To miss the kick at the end of the bowl game like that and then come back the next season, and even be mentally strong enough to go out there and suit up again and be confident to go out there, is big in itself,” Toth said. “A lot of people might have just folded and not been the same.”
Injuries lead to new role for Feeney By Taylor Lehman trlehman@indiana.edu @TaylorRLehman
IU’s offensive line has been quite the jigsaw puzzle throughout this season, and senior offensive lineman Dan Feeney has been no exception to the maneuverable pieces. The All-America right guard found himself at right tackle for the first time since high school as the Hoosiers defeated Rutgers on Saturday, 33-27. Feeney’s teammates used his miscues to have some fun with him. “They were giving me a hard time,” Feeney said. “I kind of looked awkward out there sometimes. I’ll just keep working on it, get a little fluidity out there.” The move was made after a slew of injuries hit the IU offensive line. Not suddenly, but unsparingly. Senior right tackle Dimitric Camiel fell to an injury early in the season that required back surgery. He is likely out for the season but could make an appearance for a bowl game.
The same goes for sophomore Brandon Knight, who is credited by IU Coach Kevin Wilson as the most athletic tackle on the offensive line. He suffered a leg injury against Nebraska that, even though it doesn’t require surgery, will sideline him for the rest of the regular season. Knight had been swapping in and out with freshman tackle Coy Cronk on the left side, but Cronk’s stable play allowed IU to move Knight to the right side of the line, then sophomore Delroy Baker played in place of Knight. It was the injury to Knight that prompted the move to tackle for Feeney — who had recently come off of a concussion earlier this season — because of fifth-year senior and backup guard Jacob Bailey. “Because Bailey is a good player, and even though Dan was injured and such a great player, when your backup is a fifth-year veteran with a bunch of starts, it’s kind of like your best-five combo,” Wilson said after the Rutgers game Saturday. Bailey had been filling in
for Feeney as the All-American recovered from his concussion. Now Feeney is switching between right guard and right tackle to ease Baker into the right tackle position and allow for IU’s best rotation. Fifth-year senior center Wes Rogers said Feeney’s move to right tackle was best for the offensive line, keeping its best player on the field as long as possible. “We think Dan is the best guard in the nation,” Rogers said. “We have a standard on our offensive line, so even if we’re playing without Dan out there — whoever is in there, it doesn’t matter — we’re going to hold our offensive line to that standard.” Rogers said Feeney, Bailey, Camiel and himself — all seniorvs on the offensive line — have talked about and hypothetically put themselves in as many situations as they can think of as a unit. Feeney’s emergency move to tackle was one of them. That’s why the move has been fairly seamless, Rogers said. That and Feeney’s tal-
ent as an all-around offensive lineman. It even has its benefits, as Feeney can see more of the field in the half-standing, 2-point stance tackles begin in, rather than the crouched, 3-point stance guards and centers are in. That helps with Rogers’ communication on the line, the center said. And it helps production-wise as well. Since the Maryland game, when Feeney was able to play again without limit, the Hoosiers have rushed the ball for 561 yards after three consecutive games without 100. Feeney is still working at perfecting his performance at the position he hasn’t played in four years, and he said he will continue to take reps in practice. He will likely be switching between the two positions for the remaining three games of the regular season. “I’m just doing whatever it takes to win, so if I’ve got to play right tackle, I’ll play it,” Feeney said. “Or right guard or center, whatever it takes. I’ll do whatever.”
The bench looks on during Sunday afternoon’s game. IU defeated the University of Indianapolis, 87-58.
Hoosiers enter new season with tough matchups By Jake Thomer jjthomer@indiana.edu @jake_the_thomer
Last season, IU women’s basketball tied a program record with three wins against ranked opponents. Each win came with the Hoosiers as an unranked underdog. But, as expectations are sky-high for IU Coach Teri Moren and her 2016-17 squad, IU won’t have the benefit of sneaking up on ranked teams this season. The Hoosiers will, however, have a chance to shatter that record of three victories against ranked opponents as their schedule is rife with elite opposition. Moren has stressed throughout the preseason that she wants her team to be challenged, which will certainly be the case in both the non-conference and the conference portions of IU’s schedule. “We feel there is a good balance in and away from Assembly Hall,” Moren said in an August release about the team’s schedule. “The strength of the non-conference schedule will prepare us for the always difficult Big Ten schedule. The month of February will be an incredible challenge for our team but one we’ll embrace and look forward to.” No. 23 IU has one currently ranked opponent, No. 20 Florida, on its nonconference schedule, and three more non-conference opponents — Auburn, Chattanooga and North Carolina State — received votes. With all four of those matchups coming on the road, the Hoosiers will be tested away from home before the Big Ten schedule even begins. Within its Big Ten schedule, IU was quite fortunate to be scheduled against No. 6 Maryland and No. 7 Ohio State only once apiece, and both games at home. IU also plays Michigan State, which received the most votes of any school outside the AP top 25, on the road in February. In a fourday period in early February, the Hoosiers will take on both the Spartans and
Terrapins. Navigating a tough and balanced schedule against teams with varying strengths will require different looks and formulas for success from the Hoosiers. Last season, IU relied on the same few players to get them through games. Three Hoosiers averaged more than 30 minutes per game, and only two more averaged over 20. This year, with nine returning players and five newcomers, Moren can go deeper into her bench and experiment with different lineup variations. In Sunday’s exhibition win against the University of Indianapolis, 12 Hoosiers saw at least 10 minutes each on the court. “As we always remind our players, playing time is always up for grabs,” Moren said Monday on her radio show. “I think it’s healthy that we have the competition that we have right now in our practices.” Junior guard Tyra Buss, junior forward Amanda Cahill and senior guard Alexis Gassion are likely to be mainstays in the starting lineup, but the third guard spot and second post player may rotate. Seniors Karlee McBride and Jenn Anderson filled the roles, respectively, at the end of last season, but both started out on the bench during the exhibition. Regardless of lineup, IU will try to outrun and outgun other teams. Part of the reason why sophomore forward Kym Royster started and played well in Sunday’s exhibition was her ability to run the floor, and Moren said as much after the game. The only way to tackle a deep and balanced schedule is with a deep and balanced lineup, and the Hoosiers seem to have the tools necessary to do so. Moren knows if her team is ever struggling, she’ll have more than enough players who are willing and able to step up. “If we feel like we’re not getting what we need on the defensive end or the offensive end, then certainly we will make some changes there,” Moren said. “You’re rewarded for your results and your performance.”

Suddenly, the screen switched. And there she was walking on stage, her purple suit lapel shimmering. After one year, six months and 28 days since announcing her second run for President of the United States, Hillary Clinton was giving her concession speech. Earbuds came out. Phones were placed down. Faces turned up to the screen. Nobody spoke. Only the fridge hummed quietly behind the counter. Junior Chloe Rahimzadeh twisted around in her chair. “This is painful and it will be for a long time,” Clinton said. Rahimzadeh wore a black baseball cap low over her face, trying to shield tears welling in her eyes. She absently picked at the cardboard sleeve of her coffee cup. She had gone home to Hamilton County to place her vote. Many of her friends hadn’t voted at all. Rahimzadeh had watched the results come in until 11:30 p.m., when she

She learned the final results later that night at a friend’s house. She immediately started to cry and texted her parents. They didn’t want Donald Trump to be president as much as she hadn’t. Above her, Clinton continued her message of gratitude, hope and unification. “This loss hurts, but please never stop believing that fighting for what’s right is worth it,” Clinton said. * * * More than 50 people gathered around 12:30 in the NealMarshall Black Culture Center Grand Hall, as a spread of fried chicken, potato salad, cookies and more waited behind them. “You can get two pieces of chicken,” Monica Johnson, director of the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center, said to smiles and laughs. “Don’t get more than two pieces or I’m gonna clown you.” More laughter. Green had organized this event, called the “Relax Release Relate Luncheon,” first thing in the morning after seeing the results of the election.

Others in the room stayed silent, zoned into their phones, headphones in their ears. Geresu is an immigrant from Ethiopia, whose parents moved their family to the United States when she was only 1 year old. On Tuesday, Geresu cast her vote for Hillary Clinton, who she thought had a clear path to victory. On Wednesday, she didn’t know exactly how she felt. “My family didn’t come here for this,” she said.

He challenged his students with questions. “If he’s not a typical conservative, what is he?” “How can you win an election if you go against the fun-

The gallery is held annually, and Friday night will mark the event’s third year.

Shalom is an organization that aims to support and encourage those experiencing homelessness, according to its website. “Art and photography help us open up our perspective,” Gilmore said. “By viewing art created by people who often have been marginalized by society, we get a chance to see the world a bit differently and damental platforms of your party?” “Regardless of who you were supporting, do you feel like your interests were represented?” Many in the class shook their heads no. * * * Jonathan De La Cruz, a first-year master’s student, stood on the corner of Jordan Avenue and Third Street around 6 p.m..

He paced to stay warm and occasionally smiled when someone responded to him. When De La Cruz found out about the outcome of the election, his heart sank, and he knew he had to do something. He was born in Texas but spent most of his life in Mexico. He said he couldn’t believe the country is in a state where people vote only out of impulse. College students, men and women, drove by and honked. Mothers rolled down their window so their daughters could shout to him. Some thanked him, some cried.

Lauren Kniss, the gallery director for Pictura, a contemporary photo gallery, said she believes both those experiencing homelessness and the artists deserve the support given to them through this event. “I always hope that the community sort of rallies around places like Shalom Center and supports the arts community in town,” Kniss said. “We really have a thriving community here of artists and people that are at the Shalom Center who are becoming artists.” The gallery’s opening will be accompanied by a presentation from Shalom at 5:30 p.m. on the state of homelessness within Bloomington and what the center is doing to combat the situation.

Twice during the night, students in the crowd drew together to hug each other to ease the negative tension.

Gilmore said the presentation will be an opportunity to bring people together to end homelessness. “It’s an opportunity to find out what’s going on and to get involved and to learn more and just grow and have an impact,” Gilmore said. Kniss said she believes photography allows people to consider a different perspective and bring about change. “I think people have a very sort of visceral reaction to artwork,” Kniss said. “It can affect them in a way that they don’t even understand and can sort of act on things more than they would normally.” Both Kniss and Gilmore said they hope the event will reach out to people and inspire them to take action. Kniss said photography is a clear way to connect people and cause change. “It brings something into the physical world that can be hard to understand if you don’t sort of see it in front of you,” Kniss said. “It’s a great way for people to really put themselves in the shoes of these people.”

Many students said the best defense against a conservative administration was to live vicariously and to thrive until the next opportunity to elect a leader. “Think of something you would want to do even if Hillary Clinton had won yesterday and go and do it anyway,” IU student Conner Clark said. “We have to stand up and fight against them,” said Kegan Ferguson, director of community outreach for the IU College Democrats. “We have to stand up and say that’s not who we are.” Students ended on a determined note with a call to action. “We won’t run away,” Fargo said. “I’m ready to continue the fight.

‘The Crown’ is an elegant escape ‘THE CROWN’ Claire Foy, Matt Smith, Vanessa Kirby, John Lithgow
B+ Those looking for a reprieve from the current American political landscape need look no further than Netflix’s new period drama “The Crown,” which follows the life of Queen Elizabeth II in her first decade in power. This year’s election has been tasteless at the best of times and downright appalling at the worst — and while the British monarchy may not be everyone’s cup of tea, it certainly isn’t lacking in class. Americans tend to know very little about the state of British politics (perhaps rightfully so, considering the state of our own country), but the enduring figure of Queen Elizabeth II is one that we all recognize and respect. It seems, at times, that the Queen has been stuck in time for the past century — forever the stern, brightly attired, perfectly coiffed old broad, inseparable from our idea of England as a nation. “The Crown” challenges these ideas simply by starting at the beginning. Its first episode begins on the eve of Elizabeth Windsor’s 1947 wedding to Philip Mountbatten. While she battles wedding-day nerves, her father King George VI begins a losing fight with lung cancer. “The Crown” focuses primarily on Elizabeth’s ascent to the English throne, but it also makes a study of power in many hands — from George, who never wanted or expected to be king, to his

brother King Edward VIII, who famously abdicated the throne in order to marry the divorced woman he loved. Winston Churchill, played with utter gusto by John Lithgow, also makes many an appearance as Elizabeth’s first prime minister. He is occupying his second term as prime minister, and despite his age and deteriorating health, wields an enormous amount of power over Britain
— for better or worse, as the series shows. “The Crown” is at its best when navigating these complicated layers of power and responsibility. The fifth episode, which navigates Elizabeth’s extravagant coronation, shows much of it from the perspective of Edward. He abdicated before he had the chance to ever be coronated, and left both his
family and country behind in favor of his chosen wife. While Edward is rarely painted as a sympathetic character, the juxtaposition between the former king who chose love over duty and the young, woefully unprepared girl who will give her life to her country for 64 years and counting is achingly poignant. A strong list of supporting actors and perfect casting
choices boost “The Crown” from everyday period drama to top-notch television. Claire Foy, as the young Elizabeth, anchors the series with the ability to insert warmth and character into the chilly, hyper-polite persona that Elizabeth is forced to occupy. Matt Smith of “Doctor Who” fame joins Foy as Elizabeth’s husband Philip, and his performance is appropriately hot-blooded and prideful. It’s difficult to see yet another powerful woman set upon by a host of men who hope to undermine her authority, which is why the showdowns between Elizabeth and Philip are so satisfying. In the end, everyone kneels before the Queen — even her husband. And what a Queen she is. In the course of 10 episodes, Elizabeth grows from an unsure young woman, barely out of her teenage years, into a commanding nation’s ruler. This flattering yet honest portrayal is thanks to the writing of Peter Morgan, who penned the entirety of the show for Netflix. “The Queen,” the 2006 film starring Helen Mirren — which Morgan also wrote — takes a similarly complimentary stance on the monarchy. At a production budget of over $130 million, “The Crown” is said to be Netflix’s most expensive series ever made, and it shows. From a picture-perfect recreation of Elizabeth’s coronation to meticulously crafted costumes and sets, the show drips with sophisticated extravagance. It’s not a perfect show by any means; “The Crown” struggles with pacing at
times, and some viewers will likely find it too restrained or downright boring for their taste. If the promiscuous princesses of “The Royals” are more up your alley or if you can’t sit through a cabinet meeting without Frank Underwood breaking the fourth wall, “The Crown” may not be for you. But with such restraint comes a fascinating examination of the role of the monarchy, and of the people who are thrust, upon birth, into its lifelong sentence. Each episode of the series focuses on a different set of obstacles that Elizabeth dealt with during the first decade of her reign, not the least of which concern the Queen’s unruly sister Margaret and her controversial love affair with a divorced captain. It’s these conflicts, in which Elizabeth must reconcile her personal sense of self with her duty to the nation, that reflect back on the ancient, stern image of the Queen that we see today. How much of Elizabeth Windsor is left under those white curls and brightly colored hats? How much has been allowed to remain? “The Crown” will attempt to answer those questions in the course of its six-season run, during which it will examine the majority of Elizabeth’s reign. For now, grab your cup of tea and box of biscuits, and go back to an era where the marriage of a former king to a divorced American was the biggest political scandal anyone could imagine. What a world that would be. Kate Halliwell khalliwe@indiana.edu @kate__halliwell

Local cultural centers provide support After the results of the 2016 election, many people are scared. Really, really scared, and I can’t say I blame them. You can’t unhear comments made out of hate for entire groups of people — minorities, the disabled, immigrants, women — and when those comments are made by the new leader of the United States, the fear sets in. But we can’t let ourselves be paralyzed by fear. We have to move forward and find those who support us, what we believe in and
those we love. As we come to terms with the election, some will celebrate a victory while others will mourn great loss, but we must seek out the institutions that do exist to uplift and help those that are discriminated against. And this campus and the City of Bloomington have many to offer. These places haven’t gone away. Through these places and so many others, we can talk to those who feel alone or terrified, even if we feel this way ourselves.
The GLBT Student Support Services is a resource to those on campus who identify as LGBTQ+ and to those who want to gain insight and understanding. The office is located at 705 E. Seventh St. and the website can serve as a helpful resource. La Casa is the Latino Cultural Center on campus and offers support and raises awareness about Latino cultures on campus. The website stresses that the doors of the center are open to everyone, regardless of
demographics. Located at 715 E. Seventh St., La Casa puts on various events throughout the year and open to everyone for participation. Likewise, there is the Asian Culture Center located at 807 E. 10th St. On the website, you can learn about the centers various endeavors, those most important being to raise cultural awareness and bring communities together. The Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center is another similar establishment for students. The center seeks to
educate and engage with the community while serving as a resource for black students, faculty and staff. You can find more information on the website or at 275 N. Jordan Ave. IU also has Culture of Care, an organization dedicated to educating students and staff on sexual well-being and mental health, among other initiatives. Its website — care.indiana.edu — is a good resource for those seeking more information. Most importantly, this group seeks to encourage respect for
others. If you are feeling scared, nervous or just need someone to talk to, remember these resources and the many others that IU offers. This column was created to show you Bloomington is a beautiful place, and these are some hidden gems that should not be forgotten either.

Monthly tradition continues By Katie Chrisco kchrisco@ius.edu | katiechrisco
With the Player’s Pub announcing its supposed last night of business Nov. 1, Dena El Saffar worried her band’s show at the venue this Thursday would never see the stage. Saffar is the bandleader of Salaam, a quartet that performs and composes Middle Eastern and Northern African music. “I think it would be unfortunate for Bloomington if Player’s Pub went under,” she said. “But this show is happening, and I’m happy about that.” Saffar said this is the first year the band has played once a month at the Player’s Pub, having previously played many shows at the venue. She said every month the band plays a World Music Night with other international artists.
Saffar said the band thinks of Player’s Pub as a home base, and although the venue seems to be back on track to finish out the year, she and her bandmates are nervous about the pub closing. Saffar, who is of Iraqi and American descent, attended IU as a Jacobs School of Music student and said she began the group as a way to learn about Arabic music. As a world music band, Saffar and her bandmates play a variety of instruments, from the ‘Oud, which is similar to the lute, to the hurdy-gurdy, or barrel organ. For its show Thursday night, Saffar said the band will play a mix of traditional Iraqi, Turkish and Iranian music. She said the performance will also include some of her original songs as well as moments of improvisation.
“I usually wait until the day of or night before to create the set list,” she said. “I usually finalize it after rehearsal, in case someone is inspired,” she said. The group’s guitarist, Tomás Lozano, originally from Barcelona, will be performing twice Thursday night. He will play the Spanish guitar in Salaam as well as perform as a vocalist in his new band, Tamango. He said the new group will showcase music of the Argentinian tango. “Tamango means the dancing shoes,” Lozano said. “Put on your tamangos and dance. We’ll play the typical stuff, some waltzes and tangos, and we hope the tango community will come out and dance.” In its over 20 years as a band, Salaam experienced some changes in its lineup, but Saffar said she and her husband Tim Moore have
been the core of the group. She said the project has been very stimulating and allowed her to connect with the larger Arabic music community outside of Bloomington. “Music is like an instant way to connect,” she said. “You don’t have to learn a language. It’s a window into a culture.” Saffar said there is a lot of appreciation for world music in Bloomington and Salaam’s monthly shows at The Player’s Pub help the band tap into that. However, she said without The Player’s Pub, she would be unsure of what venues her band would work at. “There’s not a lot of clubs that make sense for us,” she said. “We really appreciate the Player’s Pub. It’s really diverse there. They have rock music and blues and all that, but they also have every other kind of music.”
THE FAULDS IN OUR STARS
Celebrities voice opinions on Trump victory After the election results yesterday, I’m pretty sure historians around the world have been putting together a statement to officially declare Nov. 9 to be one of the unluckiest days in history. On this day in 1938, the Nazis launched a massive Jewish slaughter known as Kristallnacht, thus foreshadowing the Holocaust. In 1965, an anti-Vietnam War protestor set himself on fire. In 1971, a New Jersey school teacher killed his entire family. The only real positive thing to ever happen on a Nov. 9 is the fall of the Berlin Wall, and even that feels like mockery now in a nation about to build its very own giant border wall. The rest of the world, minus those who supported Donald Trump in this election, is no giddier about the results of the polls. Hollywood was very vocal about their opinions of the elections, before and after the future president was chosen. “I said BREATHE. (I am talking to myself too, y’know),” former “Hamilton” star LinManuel Miranda tweeted. “Someone give me hope,” comedian Sarah Silverman tweeted. “This is an embarrassing night for America,” actor Chris Evans tweeted. “We’ve let a hatemonger lead our great nation. We’ve let a bully set our course. I’m devastated.” You hear that, my fellow Americans? Captain America himself has abandoned you. Why? Because that merciless, fear-mongering demagogue and his misogynistic, homophobic lackey Mike Pence are the most unpatriotic men who have ever run in a presidential election. Richard Nixon may have killed the American Dream, but Trump birthed the Amerikkkan Dream. Welcome to fascism. “No more book recommendations, politics, or amusing dog pictures for the immediate future,” Stephen King tweeted. “I’m shutting down.” Now, you know it’s bad when the master of the ma-
Chicago-based band to play at the Bishop Bar By Katie Chrisco kchrisco@ius.edu | @katiechrisco
Since dropping out of school to pursue music, the members of Twin Peaks have come a long way. On Thursday, the Chicagobased indie band will make its debut at The Bishop. The show is part of a three-day run during which the band will also travel to Madison, Wisconsin, and Champaign, Illinois. While it is the band’s first time at The Bishop, vocalist and guitarist Cadien Lake James said the group has played in Bloomington in the past. “We had a great show last time we were there,” he said. “It’s good to come back and get the ball rolling and build in different towns. Keeps us busy so we’re not just sitting at home too much.” James said for its live performances the band’s set list usually includes an even distribution of songs from its three albums. However, for the Bloomington performance, the majority will be from the band’s latest album, “Down in Heaven,” released in May. “We just probably pick the ones that we feel work live,” he said. “We like to show that even though the records sound different when you play them back to back, when you put them all together in a set live it makes sense still.” Although James said many people say Twin Peaks’ three albums sound very different, he doesn’t necessarily think so. He said in his mind the band continued to write songs the same way for all of its albums. “I’ve never thought they were that different, but that’s probably because it’s natural for me,” he said. “Our first album was probably a little more punk than we are nowadays, but when you put it all in a live setting, it’s always the same writers, and that comes through.”
James said the sounds of the albums might appear dissimilar to listeners because the band approached each one differently. He said the first album was recorded in a basement when he was only 18 and used only the GarageBand app. Since then, the band has recorded its last two albums in more conventional ways. “This last one, we’re three and one half, four years older than we were making the first one,” he said. “We bought all of our own studio equipment and went out to a friend’s lake house. It’s just been different environments, and that definitely changes how you end up recording songs and which ones you choose to record.” In terms of melody and instrumentation, James said he is inspired by his experiences with girls, though he said he does not always realize it until after a song is recorded. He said his inspiration for the music comes from his own real-life experiences. “I try to not think that my songs are all about girls, but then I finish recording something and I’m like ‘Oh, just about a girl again,’” he said. “As far as melody and instrumentation, it can be just sitting on my front porch drinking coffee. I get the early morning vibes. It’s just my day-to-day life that seems to provide me with these thoughts that bump into my head and come out as a melody or lyrics.” James said in its show Thursday the band hopes to keep positivity going despite the uncertain political landscape awaiting America. They are coming to have a good time and rock and roll, he said, despite the world being messed up. “It sucks, but we’re going to be okay. It’s just about continuing the fight. It’s more pertinent now than ever.”

cabre is too horrified to comment on this election. Killer clowns, rapid dogs and zombie pets are child’s play compared to anything that happened in 2016. Fortunately, there were some celebrities who managed to see humor in this madness. “I watched Frozen without my two year old this morning,” actor Ryan Reynolds tweeted. “Despair reveals itself in many forms.” “Somewhere tonight there’s a little, racist, narcissistic, woman-hating, Jewbaiting kid who now knows that he can grow up to be President,” actor Joshua Malina tweeted. “I’m building a wall over my pussy,” comedian Morgan Murphy tweeted. Of course, you laugh because it’s funny, but for women living in Indiana, there is much to be feared. Electing Todd Young and Eric Holcomb has essentially dropped a nuclear bomb on Hoosier womanhood. You think we live in a patriarchy now? Honey, just you wait. However, not all women

Rapper Azealia Banks went on a Facebook rant about how happy she is about Trump’s victory. “Real motherfuckers rejoice,” she said in one status. “We beat the liberal media! Grab me by the pussy! ITS A CELEBRATION BITCHES!” My God. Your misogyny almost makes me want to apologize to Lena Dunham and Amy Schumer. Almost. Fortunately, there have been some stars who have served as a guiding light in this time of great darkness. “It’s like being in prison,” notorious feminist punk band Pussy Riot tweeted. “Dramatic at the beginning. But then you start to figure out how to live and create in prison. You’ll overcome.” “Today I weep for our beloved country,” country star Melissa Etheridge tweeted. “I do my best to explain to my children.

be we can overcome. “It’s a beautiful country,” Stephen Colbert said on his Showtime special last night. “We’re all going to be all right.” The next four years are not going to be easy to overcome. But as one of my favorite presidents, John F. Kennedy, once said, we shouldn’t do things because they are easy, but because they are hard. This country was not founded by sitting around and simply complaining about what our government is doing. We did not become independent from a mad tyrant by arguing with him. America was built by fighters, thinkers and lovers. So whether you are black, Muslim, Latino, disabled or anything else Trump has attacked, know you have the power to fight back. Know you are so much more than your government. Joan of Arc didn’t give up. Mahatma Ghandi didn’t give up. George Washington didn’t give up. Neither should you. Good luck and God bless.

W | PASTERNACK ON THE PAST Once a week, Jesse Pasternack reviews a film made before 1980, hoping to expose readers to classics they might not normally watch.
1950 comedy explores U.S. politics “Born Yesterday” is a relevant and excellent American comedy about politics. It’s hilarious and has a heartwarming idealism about the power of education. It’s sad that this movie’s belief in the decency of the American people makes it feel like more of a fantasy now than when it first came out. This film tells the story of Billie Dawn, the fiancée of a rich junkman named Harry Brock. Brock and Dawn go to Washington, D.C., so Brock can make a corrupt deal with a congressman. Dawn’s stupidity makes it hard for Brock to be taken seriously, so he hires a reporter named Paul Verrall to teach her how to behave. Verrall opens Dawn’s eyes to the beauty of democracy and the shadiness of Brock’s business. Judy Holliday’s performance as Dawn is the film’s greatest. She plays her character’s initial idiocy for laughs, while at the same time never making her lack of education feel forced or stereotypical. She continually finds fascinating dramatic nuances in Dawn’s character as she grows. Her journey to becoming passionate about politics is one of the more inspiring things I’ve seen in an older

This film has a lot of positive things to say about education, and they are mostly expressed by Verrall. He encourages Dawn to read and visit monuments relating to American history. His infectious love of learning is expressed in one of the film’s more important lines: “A world full of ignorant people is too dangerous to live in.” In the wake of what is perceived an antiestablishment political victory, it is interesting to look at this film’s respect for our political institutions. You can practically hear the wonder in Verrall’s voice when he talks about the documents the founding fathers wrote. Even a minor villainous character like a corrupt congressman has the number of his constituents memorized. The only one who doesn’t respect the political establishment is Brock. “Born Yesterday” is funny and moving in its faith in education as a tool to better people. At the time it came out, it must have seemed like an entertaining yet realistic civic lesson. Now it’s a reminder of what we’ve lost.

Alicia Keys revives classic R&B ‘HERE’ Alicia Keys
A+ “I feel like history on the turntables.” Thus begins Alicia Keys’ latest album “Here,” her first in almost four years. The song is “The Beginning (Interlude),” and as its title suggests, it’s only the first stroke in Keys’s personal Sistine Chapel. Like Maya Angelou before her, Keys continues plowing through with verse after verse of selfempowering lyrics like “I’m Nina Simone in the park and Harlem in the dark,” and “I’m the dramatic static when the song begins.” It’s a modern twist on Angelou’s “Still I Rise.” Beyoncé may be a superstar, but Keys is an artist. Thus, “Lemonade,” an album I still love, has been successfully ripped apart and burned to the ground by Keys. If “Lemonade” was “Pet Sounds,” then “Here” is “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.” Like “Lemonade,” this album is also about race, poverty, gender, family and self-love. However, it takes the themes of “Lemonade” and opens an entirely new set of eyes upon them. It’s an experience better to listen to than to explain. Keys partnered with New York producer Swizz Beatz to craft this masterpiece of a record, quite possibly the best I have heard all year. Songs flow in and out of each other and come together like one perfect, continuous track. If late-1960s George Martin ever produced a soul record for Columbia or Atlantic, “Here” would be the final product. Various interludes connect the songs together, accompanied with audio clips from interviews and

readings. These include poetry excerpts, discussions about insecurity and even a statement made by former Black Panther Party leader, Elaine Brown. Despite this, the record is anything but repetitive. Elements from various classic genres appear throughout this 16-track LP. “The Gospel,” which sounds like an early2000s hip-hop hit, is sung with the ferocity of Foxy Brown and the elegance of Josephine Baker while the lyrics tell tales of ghetto life,
poverty, violence and drug addiction. Keys’s childhood in Hell’s Kitchen certainly plays its role here. Songs like “Illusion of Bliss” and “Kill Your Mama” also feature hardcutting, heavy-sounding beats. The latter’s only instrumentation is someone strumming as hard as they possibly can on an acoustic guitar, on the verge of smashing the instrument in a bestial fit of rage at any moment. With that said, there is
still great tenderness and love to be shared in tracks such as “Blended Family (What You Do for Love),” “She Don’t Really Care_1 Luv” and “Girl Can’t Be Herself.” It reminds us of that matriarchal, all-loving side of Keys we all grew up to love. “Holy War,” the final track on the record, epitomizes this authentic, nurturing aspect of Keys’s character. It is a song that is not only anti-war, but antihate. Just like John Lennon’s
“Give Peace a Chance,” perhaps someday we will join together and storm Capitol Hill while screaming the lyrics to this song, holding onto our last hope for change. As far as I’m concerned, “Maybe we should love somebody / Instead of polishing the bombs of holy war” is the next “What’s so funny ‘bout peace, love and understanding?” Your candidate may not have won this election, and I can understand your anger. The United States
is either about to enter its Golden Age or its Dark Age – no way around it. But in your time of doubt, remember the words of Keys or Beyoncé or the Beatles or any other musical revolutionaries. I hope then you will realize you don’t need the stroke of a politician’s pen or the cry of their executive order to define your freedom. Austin Faulds afaulds@indiana.edu @a_faulds9615
