Fallen sister Greek community remembers fallen Theta Phi Alpha member at vigil

Amanda Ludwig remembered by friends and family as selfless, hardworking, motivated

After years of heartbreak, failure, time and energy, she was the last one.

Jay and Elaine Ludwig were at the end of in vitro fertilization with only one egg left. There wasn’t going to be another chance. But, it turns out, they didn’t need one.

On April 29, 1996, Jay and Elaine’s first and only child, Amanda Ludwig, was born.

Barely more than 18 years later, Elaine and her only daughter died in a car accident Saturday just outside of Cincinnati.

“With people in your lives as much as close family are, you see them and interact with them, but you always expect that you’re going to see them a thousand more times,” Eric Haberthier, Amanda’s cousin, said.

Amanda was a freshman at IU studying to become a physician’s assistant. She was smart enough and motivated to go to medical school, but she wanted to be in contact with patients as much as possible, Haberthier said.

“Amanda’s big thing was helping,” Haberthier said. “Anyone who knew her would tell you that.”

Hundreds of greek members walked to Showalter Fountain to honor a fallen Theta Phi Alpha sister.

Along the way, down the Jordan Extension, sneakers scraped pieces of gravel. One after another, boots clacked against the pavement.

Freshman Amanda Ludwig and her mother, Elaine, were killed in a car accident Saturday. The greek community came together Wednesday night for a candlelight vigil to honor her memory.

Only streetlights and the headlights of an occasionally passing car illuminated the students as they walked.

People whispered throughout the procession, but the atmosphere was mostly quiet as they treaded south. Traffic was stopped as they walked, at both 10th and 17th streets.

Students pooled into the courtyard of Showalter Fountain until about 9:45 p.m. Family members and Ludwig’s sorority sisters arrived last, holding white roses and unlit candles.

Amanda’s sisters wiped tears from their eyes and walked up the IU Auditorium steps with linked arms. Once at the top, they faced the crowd.

A semicircle formed around the chapter president, Madi Taylor, as she addressed the crowd.

Amanda Ludwig was a freshman at IU.

And her friends did. Her roommate Hannah Calvin and floor mate Jessica Carter both said no matter what problems she was facing, she always put others first.

“One night I was walking home alone, so I called her,” Carter said. “Her and all her sisters came and were there to walk me home.”

She had recently been accepted as a sister into Theta Phi Alpha at IU, and Carter and Calvin said she couldn’t stop talking about it.

Before coming to IU, Amanda attended Northwest High School in Cincinnati, where she spent most of her time running cross-country, playing soccer and working.

Her favorite movie was Frozen. Calvin said they kept two copies in their room.

“One night I was watching it in my room while she was trying to sleep,” Calvin said. “She was trying to sleep, but I could hear her singing the songs while SEE AMANDA, PAGE 6

She spoke loudly — without a microphone — to the students at the vigil.

“I’d like to thank the greek community for lifting up my chapter,” she said.

As she spoke, members of the sorority lit each other’s candles. The students circling Showalter Fountain also began lighting candles.

Sisters who knew Amanda best began speaking to the crowd of hundreds.

One at a time, they spoke about their fallen sister.

A young woman stepped into the semicircle and said she was a good friend of Ludwig’s.

She described looking at the Facebook pages of their new pledge class for the sorority this year. She specifically remembered seeing Ludwig’s page.

She said Ludwig was witty, fun and someone who grew stronger every day. She said Ludwig and her sorority “big” had an incredible relationship.

“They weren’t just big and little,” she said. “They were soul mates.”

Fifteen days ago, a 72-65 loss to Northwestern changed the course of IU’s season.

The Wildcats handed the Hoosiers the first of three consecutive losses to end the season. It was IU’s worst loss in terms of RPI to date, pushing it to the brink of the NCAA Tournament bubble and rekindling angst among the Hoosier fan base.

Today’s rematch in the Big Ten Tournament offers a chance to reset the season’s direction.

“I know that winning is going to take us to where we want to go,” sophomore forward Troy Williams said. “But I think every team feels that this time of year.”

Opposing sides Traditionalist Youth Network protests anti-racism author Tim Wise

By Aly Malinger afmaling@indiana.edu | @aly_mali

The Traditionalist Youth Network — informally known on IU’s campus as a white supremacy organization — protested against anti-racism author Tim Wise on Wednesday at the Whittenberger Auditorium.

Wise, known for his multiple books on anti-racism and stopping the spread of white privilege in society, is looked upon not as a self-critical white American, but as an anti-white and anti-Christian Jew through the eyes of the organization.

Wise is looked at as systematically stirring up racial resentment against white Americans and therefore scolding “gullible and insecure college students into an ideology of guilt, shame, ritual apology and acceptance of our own political disempowerment and demographic genocide,” according to Trad Youth President and founder Thomas Buhls.

Starting at 6:30 p.m., 30 minutes before the event took place, a group of about 30 men started marching from the Sample Gates toward the Whittenberger while holding signs and wearing Nazi memorabilia. From the opposite end, a group that formed as a counter protest started to file directly in front of the men, holding up blank banners in an attempt to cover Trad Youth’s signs and banners.

Trad Youth members’ chants of “Tim Wise, full of lies” were counterparted by the simultaneous blowing of whistles from the opposition.

“It is plainly obvious that they are just here to be cruel and obviously very racist,” Bloomington resident Tom Williams said about Trad Youth. “Their knowledge is warped by their own racism and misogyny.”

Racism can shape-shift and take on different forms, Wise said in his pre-talk Wednesday. Trad Youth members believe diversity leads to white genocide and were there to protest and get their message out to the

Bloomington community.

“We don’t even need to go in to disturb the speech,” Buhls said. “We have generated our message already.”

The counterprotest handed out a variety of pamphlets going against the goals of the network, including the history of fighting white supremacy in Indiana. In contrast, network members managed to tear down the blank banners to display their signs more clearly to the crowd, now up to hundreds and growing steadily.

After the screaming of chants from both sides, the network started to mobilize and move toward the Sample Gates and down Kirkwood Avenue.

IU sophomore Sven — who requested his last name not be used — felt the network members liked to make themselves known, having fascist symbols painted on themselves or on signs.

“They are decidedly bad people,” Sven said.

As the protest moved downtown, both sides started to get more aggressive toward one another, forcing police officers to intervene. Police officials refused to give a formal statement in response to both the protest and counterprotest. Officers followed the march until its end, past the city square.

“All these cops showed up to presumably maintain peace,” Sven said. “But I got cut by Tom Buhls himself and they do nothing.”

Trad Youth believes Wise is disguised as a civil rights campaigner so he can vividly fantasize about America’s aging white population dying off and being replaced.

Prior to the protest, the network posted an open letter addressed to Wise on its website, tradyouth.org, discussing the comments it found hypocritical when discussing white privilege. The network believes Wise is using his condemnation of white privilege as a mask because he is a benefactor of Jewish privilege.

As the protest continued, counterprotest members started to ask questions

regarding the Holocaust, racism and interracial marriage.

Responses to these inquiries were not direct, but Trad Youth referred to the Holocaust as a myth in all its counters.

The march ended when a large white van pulled up, collecting all the Trad Youth members except two

individuals who remained circling the town square until the van circled around. Two police cars followed the van once the members made their exit.

“I think everyone needs to respect and accept others,” Casey Stover, IU sophomore and follower of the protests, said. “We should accept everyone for who they are.”

Anti-racist speaker Tim Wise said the racial discussion between afflicted populations and the white population has become somewhat like a book club.

“It’s sort of like having a book club where half of the room has read 400 pages, and then the rest of the room has read the preface,” he said.

“And then we’re supposed to get together and talk about the damn book.”

He addressed the issues of white privilege and “colorblindness” Wednesday afternoon in the Courtroom at Maurer School of Law on Wednesday afternoon. His audience was eager to listen.

Bianca Black, a third-year law student, said her main concern was hearing what Wise had to say about combating racial injustice and white privilege, especially pertaining to the law.

“I’m just interested in what he’s bringing to the table,” she said. “I know he’s passionate about it, and that’s very important to me.

I came here with an agenda.”

Programming Director for the American Constitution Society Katie Cullum said the lecture attracted more interested students than expected. Among the interested groups is the Traditionalist Youth Network at IU, who protested Wise’s lecture yesterday evening.

“That’s been a good way to promote the necessity for these conversations,” Cullum said.

ACS collaborated with Black Law Students Association and Union Board to bring Wise to IU, which Wise said was an honor and a privilege.

Wise said white privilege was historically present in society, but also withstanding are the implicit structures that victimize minorities such as African Americans.

“Colorblind jurisprudence only looks at what’s right in front of us, what’s obvious,” he said.

“We’re going to keep having these conversations, and we’re going to keep being frustrated at the rate of change in this country.”

Tim Wise, anti-racism author

Colorblind jurisprudence, or the way we approach the law, would be absurd because it leaves the subconscious structures in the law that cause systematic racism and grant white supremacy, Wise said.

Although blatant or extreme acts of racism still exist today, Wise said more covert acts have developed with time and become ingrained in society so the law might overlook them.

He said racism could shape shift, whereas the law is less flexible and cannot detect all of racism’s forms.

Though systematic racism becomes more difficult to find and prevent, Wise said part of the task is simply recognizing that it exists.

He said with that awareness, the courts might become more conscious of racial stereotypes that might affect their decision-making in cases dealing with race.

“Once people know how easy it is to screw up, they try really hard to get it right,” Wise said.

Putting that change in motion is something Wise said would not be immediate due to the nation’s history.

However, he said conversations like his in the Courtroom on Wednesday are a good way to start.

“Unless we have this conversation about how we’re going to move American jurisprudence in a direction that recognizes the structure, that recognizes the institution, that recognizes the subtle ... then we’re going to keep having these conversations, and we’re going to keep being frustrated at the rate of change in this country,” he said.

Food truck vote delayed

MICHAEL WILLIAMS | IDS

Levi Long prepares a sandwich in the Big Cheeze food truck, parked on Kirkwood Avenue on Wednesday.

The proposed new rules would ban the food truck from operating in this and many other locations.

Big Cheeze and Nick’s talk Ordinance 15-05

By Neal Earley njearley@indiana.edu

A few feet may not seem like a great distance, but for the food truck owners of Bloomington, it could potentially make or break their businesses.

It’s the old adage in real estate: “location, location, location.” With the prospects of new ordinance regulating food trucks up for debate, the location of the city’s food trucks may be in jeopardy.

The City Council will continue to consider a buffer for food trucks that would require them to be at least 75 feet away from any bar or restaurant.

Though it seems the council supports the continuation of the current 50-foot buffer, the new ordinance would change where that buffer is measured.

Under Bloomington’s current business code, a food truck’s parking spot must be at least 50 feet away from the entrance to a restaurant or bar.

Under the new proposed ordinance, the 50-foot buffer zone would be measured from the outdoor seating area — not the entrance.

“With this new ordinance, if it were to go through the way it is right now, our normal spot — the spot we normally park on right outside Kilroy’s — would be illegal,” said Chad Sutor, co-owner of the Big Cheeze truck.

Sutor said 60 percent of

his sales come from the late night hours 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. when students are leaving the bars. If passed, the ordinance would jeopardize his and other food trucks’ spots on Kirkwood Avenue.

According to maps drawn by the city, most of East Kirkwood, home to bars and restaurants such as Kilroy’s Bar and Grill, Nick’s English Hut and Village Deli would become off-limits to food trucks.

The ordinance was orginally brought before the City Council in December, but Bloomington City Council member Stephen Volan said he and his colleagues wanted to wait and iron out some of the details of it.

For certain establishments, the issue of food trucks stems from two main issues: noise from their generators and parking room.

“It also takes up parking spots for potential customers,” said Susan Bright, co-owner of Nick’s English Hut. “If we let every food truck park on Kirkwood, the brick-and-mortar places don’t have parking for their patrons.”

Though for the businesses on Kirkwood, parking is not the only complaint. According to Volan, who has spoken with restaurant and food truck owners, patrons, and proprietors alike have complained about the noise from the food trucks.

“The generators are loud,

“We want an ordinance to be passed. We want there to be a regulation because the regulations that are in place now are super vague.”

Chad Sutor, Big Cheeze co-owner

so it doesn’t let our patrons who are sitting outside to hear themselves talk, so we’re losing our outside business,” Bright said.

Bright said she has met with several of the food truck owners, but she is frustrated because she believes some of them do not follow city regulations, specifically the 50-foot buffer zone.

Sutor said current food truck regulations are confusing and hard to follow, and he welcomes a new ordinance — just one that does not restrict his business.

“We want an ordinance to be passed,” Sutor said. “We want there to be a regulation because the regulations that are in place now are super vague ... it’s really hard to enforce the rules that are in place now.”

If passed, the new ordinance would make the 50-foot buffer zone for food trucks enforceable whether the business nearby was open or closed, meaning most of Kirkwood would be off-limits for most food trucks.

Though it had to wait, the ordinance about the city food trucks seemed to be the issue on everyone’s mind at Wednesday evening’s Bloomington City Council meeting.

For those affected, the wait for Ordinance 15-05 has been much longer than a few hours at City Hall, but rather three months since it has been re-introduced.

At the center of the controversy is the 50-foot buffer zone, which the city council is considering extending. Under current city regulations, food trucks have to be at least 50 feet away from restaurants and bars.

The proposed ordinance would essentially change where the buffer is measured.

If a bar has an outdoor eating area, the buffer would be measured from the parameter of the patio instead of the building itself, pushing the food trucks farther away.

There are three general issues with the food trucks:

noise, emissions and space, with space being the most controversial.

Some of the bars and restaurants downtown and their patrons have complained about food trucks taking up parking spots for potential costumers and blocking the view of their establishments.

Chad Sutor, co-owner of the Big Cheeze food truck, spoke for about 17 minutes during the meeting’s public comment section.

He said there is a need for clear regulations, but not the buffer zone being proposed. Sutor said the proposed ordinance would make his spot illegal, as it is just within 50 feet of Potbelly’s.

“The 50-foot mark hits six inches into our current spot where we do 81 percent of our business,” Sutor said.

Sutor said he supports most of the regulation in the proposed ordinance, he just opposes the parts that could jeopardize his truck’s current location across from Kilroy’s Bar and Grill.

Jerry Eisenberg from

“If food trucks are dependent on Bloomington’s busiest blocks, shouldn’t the city be compensated?”

Jerry Eisenberg, co-owner of Butch’s Grillacatessen and Pizzeria

Butch’s Grillacatessen and Pizzeria, located on Seventh Street, spoke up against food trucks, saying regulations should be more fair to brick-and-mortar restaurants.

“If food trucks are dependent on Bloomington’s busiest blocks, shouldn’t the city be compensated?”

Eisenberg said.

In addition, the buffer zone would be enforced even when restaurants are closed, meaning some desired spots would be permanently off limits.

“I understand that enforcement is going to be a very difficult issue for all of us, but I don’t how that can’t be included somehow,” Bea’s Soda Bar Owner Elizabeth Throne said of the regulation.

Ritz unhappy with testing costs From IDS reports

The Indiana Department of Administration posted letters awarding $134 million to six private companies to administer Indiana’s student assessments through spring of 2017.

Glenda Ritz, the state superintendent of public instruction, prefers to streamline the testing process for Indiana students but was adamantly against the high costs that were proposed.

“I strongly believe that

Indiana needs a streamlined system of assessments that come at a reasonable cost to taxpayers,” Ritz said.

The awards have not yet been finalized by contracts despite letters having been posted, and their approval could depend on legislative actions by the Indiana General Assembly.

One of the vendors that was awarded funds was Pearson, which will be administering the ISTEP+ exam that is taken by about 450,000 pupils in grades

three through eight. Previously, it was administered

by CTB/McGraw-Hill and has a history of exhibiting technical errors for students while taking the exam.

According to the Indiana Department of Education, these tests won’t align with new academic standards that were implemented following last year’s decision to no longer follow the federal Common Core standards.

BPD warns about spring break crime From IDS reports

With spring break approaching for IU, the Bloomington Police Department is urging students to think about crime prevention.

Scheduled breaks from classes have historically resulted in an increase in reported burglaries at residences and thefts from vehicles, Capt. Joe Qualters said in a press release.

However, BPD is attempting to raising awareness and limit crime. After this school year’s winter break, BPD

reported a 48-percent decrease in burglary reports compared to those made over the same period in 2013.

The decline in crime wasn’t limited to winter break.

Reported crimes decreased by 43 percent from last fall’s Thanksgiving break compared to those reported in 2013.

Qualters credits the improved crime prevention to the BPD’s efforts to raise awareness through the media, social media and student apartment

management.

BPD officers will work with officers from the IU Police Department to provide “targeted patrols” around student apartment complexes and neighborhoods near campus.

BPD also provided 10 tips to prevent crime, including locking all doors and windows, not posting about vacation plans on social media and asking friends to watch over one’s residence during the break.

Talent show brings comedic acts to Back Door

By Lyndsay Jones jonesly@indiana.edu | @lyndsayjonesy

James Dean leans on a bookshelf, a dreamy gaze cast over the expanse of the Back Door Bar. His picture does, anyway.

Wednesday evening, people sauntered in through the curtained doorway, making their way to seats around the stage.

They were there to watch “The Song + Gong Show,” a talent show reminiscent of variety shows from the 1970s.

Instead of celebrities, locals took their seats as judges and waited for the deviant talent show to begin.

They were not disappointed. Two women took the stage in the first act. Their names were “Smooth G” and Lorie Canada. They were the Satanettes.

They wore “mock-Pentecostal” clothing. Their hair was piled onto their heads in styles that would have been current two centuries ago.

Their denim skirts were long enough to skim the floor, their black t-shirts loose and flowing. But on the fronts of the otherwise modest shirts were Pentagrams painted in white.

They began to shake the black pom poms in their hands.

“Satan, Satan, he’s our

man, if God can’t stop him, no one can,” they cheered.

“Gooooo Satan!”

One of them stumbled and fell as she tried to split her legs in a jump mid-air.

There was laughter, and an awkward silence.

“Well, we didn’t expect to still be up here right now,” one of them said. “We expected to be gonged right now.”

They chanted impromptu Satan cheers. Finally, a gong rang. Everyone laughed in relief.

The judges began scoring them.

One judge introduced himself as Chad.

“I’m Chad,” he said. “My hobbies include —“ Someone else stopped him.

“Thanks Chad!” called a woman’s voice. He got no further in speaking until it was his turn to evaluate the Satanettes.

“You guys had a lot of spirit,” Chad said. “But you need to work on your execution.”

Overall, Satan’s cheerleaders received ratings of five out of 10.

One of the Satanettes spoke up.

“I’m disappointed we didn’t get a 666,” she said.

With a last little shake of their black pom poms, they descended into the darkness

Teen steals goat to ask girl to prom; fails While stealing livestock may not be everyone’s idea of a romantic gesture, an unnamed Georgia teen decided to kidnap a goat so he could ask a girl to prom, according to the Washington Post.

“Would you goat with me to the prom?” is the question he never got to ask, because he got caught and arrested, along with his fellow accomplices.

Sedition in the Senate?

Not just yet

The anonymous Yik Yak

Eduardo Salas is a senior in public management.

In 1968 — on the eve of the presidential election — Richard Nixon’s campaign secretly communicated with the government of South Vietnam.

The exchange was made with the intent to convince the South Vietnamese to derail peace talks that year by a promising a better deal, embarrassing the Johnson administration and weakening the Democratic candidate for president.

Ultimately, that’s what happened: the talks failed, Nixon won and the war continued for seven more years. LBJ would later go on to label what Nixon did as “treasonous.”

Fast-forward to 2015.

This week, users on Twitter drew comparison between Nixon’s sabotage and the actions of 47 Republican senators who sent an open letter to the leaders of Iran, arguing that whatever deal the Obama administration reaches over Iran’s nuclear capabilities will be subject to congressional interference after the president leaves office.

This is in the middle of ongoing and intense negotiations between the United States and Iran.

The hashtag #47Traitors trended Tuesday with many citing the Logan Act — legislation that forbids any individual from corresponding or coordinating with a foreign government to defeat the foreign policy of the U.S. Of course, calling the GOP’s latest stunt treason or sedition would be giving them too much credit. The letter was swiftly and ironically dismissed by Iran’s foreign minister as “propaganda.”

It’s also highly unlikely to actually affect the outcome of the negotiations.

Still, the GOP’s intent is no less dangerous. It’s one thing to attack the president’s domestic agenda. But playing politics with our foreign policy? That’s taking petty politics to the level of not only brazenly disrespecting the administration, but the presidency itself.

Leading the charge is freshman senator from Arkansas, Tom Cotton. The Republican hasn’t even been a senator for more than two months, yet seems determined to make the upper chamber of Congress as broken as the House where he previously served.

One might hope that Cotton — a war veteran — would best understand the implications of attempting to undermine the authority of our commander-in-chief.

One would also perhaps hope he’d be more weary of the nuances of war and peace, as he and his Republican colleagues attempt to sabotage negotiations that could lead to another massive armed conflict in the Middle East.

My generation has no interest in fighting a war that has the possibility of being prevented. It’s unreal to think there’s a group in Congress that would prefer that to even giving the president and his team a chance.

If anything, this most recent episode underscores how Republicans’ hate of President Obama far outmatches their interest or commitment to govern.

Past attempts to undermine the president have failed spectacularly; though their hostility toward to White House continues to be astounding nonetheless.

This time their actions might have been shy of Nixonian. But with a Republicancontrolled Congress, who knows what’s next. edsalas@indiana.edu

Freaks in the sheets WE SAY: Male birth control is a thing Disclaimer: The following editorial is satire.

The electric chair, the atomic bomb, Windows 8 — scientific progress sometimes yields horrendous products.

Male birth control options are quickly joining those ranks. New developments such as gels, implants and even pills might bring synthetic interventions to nature’s course to your local pharmacy.

Haven’t we already made relationships complicated enough with providing women with birth control and recognizing that your broad doesn’t have to put out if she’s “not in the mood?”

What happened to the good old days when relationships were as quick and easy as trading livestock? Granted, that is because courtship essentially was the same as trading livestock. Why deepen this deal with the devil and add male birth control to the unwholesome brew?

Men don’t need to be meddling with birth control options because, apparently, women already have it covered. The human body works in mysterious ways.

If both the man and the goat — I mean, woman — are on birth control, there could be some sort of double negative reaction for all we know. Birth control, especially pills, require a highly regiment-

ed intake to make sure the drugs work correctly. You can’t really expect men ages 13 through 30 to be able to keep up with such a demanding schedule.

Women are biologically predisposed to being more organized so they can effectively run a household and plan suffrage rallies.

While it is true there are some side effects from women’s birth control, they’re few and far between to the point of being negligible. In fact, the risks posed by the side effects make the sex all the more thrilling!

It may make you feel like you and your girlfriend are teenagers again, only instead of wondering if your parents will catch you, you’re wondering if the woman you’re bonking will have a sudden blood clot!

Of course, this gets at a much bigger issue: why are we further encouraging promiscuous behavior in our young men?

First we light the fire by — sort of — teaching sexual education in schools.

Then, we throw on some kerosene by giving women a means to have sex without the threat of conception. Now, we’re tossing the whole bottle into the hellish inferno of immorality.

In short, we could bring birth control

to men, but the cost would be our country as we know it.

Not to sound misogynist, but men are basically lower animals with no control over their sexual impulses, especially while younger. If we give birth control to men, we might as well tell them to discontinue what little remains of their resistance to their carnal drives.

Sex addictions are so much more prevalent in men, and male birth control would be like a gateway drug. We cannot call ourselves good allies to men while enabling them like this.

Next, people are going to start demanding that their insurance cover the costs, forcing corporations to uphold such lewd activities. Beyond the moral commitments of many a good, redwhite-and-blue-bleeding business, it doesn’t make good utilitarian sense.

If male birth control were to pass, men would start showing up to work less because they’d be chasing tail all the more. Productivity would plummet and unemployment would spike.

Before you know it, more people than ever would be living off the state with their birth control still covered by Obamacare, and then the economy falls apart like a sixth grade girl asked to do math or science.

ZIPPER UNZIPPED

Toilet humor isn’t always for everyone Republican lawmakers in Kentucky, Florida and Texas are a little too concerned with the bathroom. Bills were proposed in these states to prevent people from using the “wrong” bathroom.

Each bill is designed to restrict the freedom of transgender Americans to use the bathroom that aligns with their gender identity.

Texas’ proposed bill is, of course, the harshest. It states that anyone who enters a restroom, shower or changing room for the sex different from the “gender established by the individual’s chromosomes” will face up to a year in jail and a fine of $4,000.

The proposed bills in Kentucky and Florida are similarly loaded with thinly veiled discriminatory language. Florida has apparently never read Judith Butler, as gender for this state is defined as “biological sex, either male or female, at birth.”

Kentucky’s proposal applies only to schools, and begins promisingly. It reads that transgender students “whose parent or legal guardian provides written consent to school officials shall be provided with the best available accommodation.”

Yay, Kentucky!

However, I must mention the caveat that basically erases that last sentence: “that accommodation shall not include the use of student restrooms, locker rooms, or shower rooms designated for use by students of the opposite biological sex while students of the opposite biological sex are present or could be present.” This type of transphobic legislation is not uncommon. Much of the country has passed laws prohibiting discrimination based on gender identity, while some states, like Colorado and Arizona, have attempted and failed to pass

these types of bills.

This is great. It shows we now have a somewhat decent understanding of gender. But the reason these current discriminatory bills may pass is because they have the support of the ironically titled conservative legal advocacy group Alliance Defending Freedom.

ADF has a network of 2,000 attorneys intent on defending the religious right’s definition of “freedom,” which includes mostly anti-LGBT rights legislation disguised as “religious freedom.”

Counsel Kellie Fiedorek said ADF’s intent is to “protect the privacy, safety and dignity of all citizens in restrooms and locker rooms.”

Her assertion about dignity is incorrect.

These bills ignore the dignity of transgender individuals.

The Miami Republican who’s backing the Florida

Riley Zipper is a junior in English.

bill, Rep. Frank Artiles, R118th District, told the Miami Herald, “A man such as myself can walk into the bathroom at LA Fitness while women are taking showers, changing, and simply walk in there ... If I feel like a woman that day, I can be allowed to be in that locker room.”

But these bills aren’t targeting someone who would do that. They’re targeting people who identify as transgender. Period. It’s blatant discrimination, and I’m sick of conservatives cloaking discriminatory policy in rhetoric like “religious freedom” and “public safety.” This isn’t freedom or safety for anyone. zipperr@indiana.edu

The social media app Yik Yak has recently come under fire in several situations at different colleges.

This all began when abusive anonymous postings about specific people caused the victims to contact Yik Yak and demand them to reveal the identities of the defamers.

However, Yik Yak has diligently protected the users because the complaints did not violate conditions in their privacy policy.

It is difficult to talk about Yik Yak because, on one side, it represents a guarantee — or near-guarantee — of privacy in a digital age when everything, from one’s geographical location to online presence, is tracked.

Paradoxically, it could be seen as a bastion of individualism in the sense that, unlike Facebook or Twitter, one does not feel compelled to portray oneself in a certain way.

One does not have to construe oneself or one’s experience to conform to some preconceived notion of how one should live.

There are no profiles to build. Nobody updates other people about their lives on Yik Yak. It’s pure expression, without the paranoid narcissism of Facebook.

Then, on the other side, anonymity on the Internet brings out the worst in people because they know there will be no repercussions for anything they say.

Look at any comments section anywhere.

A majority of Yik Yak’s content consists of racial slurs, misogynistic comments, antiSemitic diatribes, you name it.

Any relatively benign comment tends to be downvoted immediately because, when you go on Yik Yak, you go on to look at all the ridiculous things on it. Then, wanting to be included, you think of something clever, use some pun, turn of phrase or pithy pseudo-philosophical comment and post that.

You don’t necessarily believe what you posted, but it’s clever. And because it is clever you believe you’ll get 50 upvotes and you’ll be able to tell your friends, “Hey, I got 50 up-votes!”

For the people who have been victims of Yik Yak abuse, it’s a rough situation to be in and certainly anonymity is no justification to be cruel and unfeeling human beings.

However, Yik Yak is perhaps part of the new reality we’re entering and adaptations must be made to cope with that fact.

At its basic level, Yik Yak is publicly generated entertainment. To call it social media implies there must be some sort of social interaction that occurs but, since the users are anonymous, it is essentially impossible for sustained interaction.

Facebook and Twitter, in myriad ways, allow this. But with Yik Yak you don’t know if you interact with users more than once, if you consider “Yakking” and commenting interaction at all.

Perhaps celebrities can teach us something about dealing with Yik Yak. They become embroiled in scandals largely generated and expounded by media itself.

At some point, they have to ignore what is said about them so they can live their lives.

Yik Yak abuse is just another type of sensationalism created for entertainment and eventually, if Yik Yak lives long, it will result in another psychological adaptation that started with Myspace and still continues today. allenjo@indiana.edu

Crean’s plan for pressure? More pressure

By Alden Woods aldwoods@indiana.edu | @acw9293

Tom Crean put it simply, the scenario his team has put itself in.

Yes, he said, IU’s in a stressful situation. Yes, his players know that.

The Big Ten Tournament brings the season’s first singleelimination format. For an IU team toeing the line between the NCAA Tournament and a trip to the NIT, it’s become the highest-pressure of situations.

“I think they’re aware of that,” Crean said. “Absolutely, to a degree.”

Six weeks ago, the Hoosiers’ postseason fate was in their hands. IU wasn’t fighting for its NCAA Tournament life, but it was in contention for a top-four Big Ten finish and the double-bye in the conference tournament that comes with it.

But not anymore. Losing eight of 12 games will do that.

Now, IU’s in need of a win.

Crean’s solution to the pressure? More pressure.

In IU’s only game against Northwestern this season, the Hoosiers offense went stale.

They went more than 10 minutes without scoring in the second half and fell behind by as many as 14 points.

The deficit forced IU to scramble, with Crean switching his team into a full-court press.

What resulted was a final four minutes of IU’s most

active defense of the season.

The Hoosiers created three Wildcat turnovers and allowed just one basket.

It wasn’t enough to come back and win the game, but it was a first glimpse of what IU can turn itself into — a swarming, trapping, highpressure type of defense that makes up for its lack of size.

It’s a game plan Crean said he’s going to have to use to avoid a disastrous one-anddone showing in the Big Ten Tournament.

“It’s something we’re probably, definitely going to have to do more of to bring pressure to the backcourt, for one thing,” he said. “We probably do need to pressure more, especially on the ball, and look for different trapping situations, because the guys are pretty good at it.”

Full-court pressure may be the best fix for a Hoosier defense that’s been notoriously bad this season. IU allowed 71.8 points per game, last in the Big Ten and more than three full points behind the next-worse defense. Opponents shot 45.5 percent from the field and 51.4 percent from inside the arc, both conference worsts.

At least part of the blame can be placed on a front line that’s diminutive by Big Ten standards. The Hoosiers’ average height — a kenpom.com statistic averaging the height of a team’s forwards and centers, weighted for playing time

— was the second-smallest in the conference this season.

Small teams are often overmatched in half-court sets, so the solution may be to turn games into full-court affairs. That doesn’t mean IU can let up when the game slows down, though.

“Your press is only as good as your ability to stop them when you get back in the halfcourt,” Crean said. “You’ve got to be able to get back and

make them take a tough shot.”

Crean said any high-pressure game plan would hinge on the ability of his big men to control the back end of the press. If things break down and the opponent gets past the first line of traps, the last defender becomes vital.

“When you’re in that back line of the press and it’s 2-on1, you’ve really got to be able to make some reaction decisions quickly, because those

things turn into and-ones or they turn into two points.”

It’s an all-or-nothing approach to defense, but it may be an all-or-nothing situation for this IU team. A win probably seals the Hoosiers’ berth in the NCAA Tournament.

Two wins almost certainly does it. Lose to Northwestern, though, and it’s out of IU’s control.

But Crean isn’t worried about that, he said. The focus

remains on Northwestern, on working pressure into the defensive game plan and on winning one game at a time.

“This is where you preach marathon,” he said. “Now it starts to be a little more of a sprint. You don’t want to get away from the marathon, you’ve got to keep working through. But now is where you’ve got to sprint through, and you can’t let the little things distract you.”

A season after having Kyle Schwarber and Sam Travis anchoring the middle of the order, the top run producer for IU this season is senior leadoff hitter Casey Rodrigue.

The second baseman hit his team-leading third home run Wednesday in the seventh inning of IU’s 9-1 win against Eastern Michigan.

Rodrigue didn’t hit any home runs last season.

“I’m just more comfortable with it being my second year,” Rodrigue said.

“Last year I just tried to get on base because we had guys who hit the ball out of the yard all the time, so I didn’t really have to have that aspect of the game.”

Rodrigue also has a team-leading 15 RBIs after the two-run home run, once again strange for someone batting first in the batting order. He had 22 RBIs all of last season.

He finished the game 2-for-3 with a walk, three runs scored and a stolen base. The steal was his fourth this season.

“He’s had some big swings in those situations and he’s hit with a little bit of power, too, so it’s been nice to see from him,” IU Coach Chris Lemonis said.

“But it is a little strange to see your leadoff guy leading the team.”

Both Rodrigue and Lemonis credited the increase in run production to having ample amounts of opportunities because of IU’s depth at the plate.

Lemonis said he has 13 or 14 hitters who are good enough to start.

“Those guys are good, get on base and they see pitches,” Rodrigue said. “It’s good to get more RBIs this season. Obviously, I didn’t have this many at this point

last season. It’s just good to hit with people on base.”

Also homering for IU was Wednesday’s No. 9 hitter, junior third baseman Brian Wilhite. His three-run home run in the second inning was the first of his career and his first extra-base hit this season.

The home run also provided the first three RBIs of the season for Wilhite, who finished the game 2-for3 after an infield single in the seventh inning. He also scored twice.

It was the eighth start for Wilhite at third base this season, his glove being the

primary reason he’s seen his name in the starting lineup.

But Lemonis said that may begin to change.

“He’s an upper level defender, and he just keeps working on his swing every day,” Lemonis said. “The hitting coaches are happy because he spends a lot of time in the cages trying to get himself out there, so it’s been nice to see that progression.”

Eastern Michigan’s only run of the game came in the sixth inning off junior Evan Bell. Bell pitched four innings of relief, striking out two and picking up his first

win of the season.

IU’s bullpen combined to pitch seven innings, allowing only five hits and one walk.

“We’ve got one of the best staffs in the country, and we know that everyday they’re going to show up and throw everything they’ve got at the other team,” Rodrigue said.

Senior catcher Brad Hartong added a two-RBI single in the seventh inning for his fourth and fifth RBIs this season.

The single was one of 10 hits IU had Wednesday.

It’s the ninth time in its last

IU 9, EASTERN MICHIGAN 1 Win Bell (1-1) RBIs Hartong, 3 10 games IU has had 10 or more hits.

IU has also scored 30 runs in its last three games.

“We’ve got some good hitters, and we’ve got some guys who are getting the right hit at the right time,” Lemonis said. “He hit that ball pretty good. We’ve hit the ball pretty well with runners in scoring position, so that’s pretty exciting.”

IU divers look to qualify for National Championships over weekend From IDS reports

Thursday’s NCAA Zone Diving Championship in Columbus, Ohio, will determine which members of the diving team will compete in the NCAA Championships, which begin March 26.

The zone championship will consist of a three-day

Climbing

competition that ends Saturday. Both the men and women divers will compete Thursday.

Freshman James Conner already broke the school record in the 3-meter dive with a score of 494.60 at the Big Ten Championships two weeks ago. Michael Hixon broke the Big Ten record in

the 1-meter competition with a score of 47.45, while Conner dove his career-best at 394.55, giving them good odds to qualify at the Zone Championship.

Whoever qualifies will be joining the rest of the team in the NCAA Championships who have already qualified in the swimming events.

It has been released that a total of seven Hoosiers will be racing in the NCAA Championships for the men’s team.

Seniors Steve Schmuhl and Mike Hurely will be looking to finish out their collegiate careers with a solid performance in their last NCAA Championship. Sophomores Jackson Miller, Anze Tavcar

and freshmen Ali Khalafalla and Blake Pieroni will be competing as well.

IU men’s swimming Coach Ray Looze said after the Big Ten Championships that he has no predictions for this year’s NCAA Championships.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 The mistakes Crean alluded to included, but were not limited to, an inability to contain Tre Demps, giving up 40 first-half points and a scoreless stretch of more than 10 minutes in the second half.

A Hoosier rally in the closing minutes helped make the score seem closer, but IU was never much of a threat to tie the game.

With the Big Ten’s win-orgo-home format, the Hoosiers can’t afford to come out slow, junior guard Nick Zeisloft said.

“We cannot play tentative at all,” he said. “If we get a lead, we have to play harder.

If we are behind, we have to come right at someone.”

The Wildcats have continued to play well since their win against IU, but it came too late, considering a 10-game losing streak all but crushed hopes of finishing in the upper half of the conference.

But the improved play has certainly caught Crean’s attention. Northwestern is 5-2 since Coach Chris Collins decided to hit the reset button and start using a 2-3 zone after a 22-point loss to Michigan State.

“His younger guys are playing with a lot of confidence, and they’re playing a zone, which is keeping them out of foul trouble,” Crean said. “We can attack the zone better. We attacked it pretty well at times, and there were other times we missed what was there.”

Collins apologized for showing up late to his postgame press conference in Evanston, Ill., after needing to change his suit. His players had doused him with water after beating IU. They explained it had become a bit of a tradition to throw water on their coach after Big Ten wins.

When it comes time for his postgame press conference in Chicago this time around, the Hoosiers will hope to keep Collins dry.

“Teams are at a point that their season can go either way,” sophomore forward Collin Hartman said. “We know winning is our key and we’re focused on that and only that.”

Members of the greek community gather in front of the IU Auditorium for a vigil for freshman Amanda Ludwig and her mother, Elaine. Amanda and Elaine Ludwig were killed in a car accident Saturday outside of Cincinnati.

Just a few weeks ago on Valentine’s Day, she spent hours at Target picking out just the right candy and decorations for a box to send Private First Class Sean Nouv, who is in Texas right now.

She was so excited about it, she sent Snapchats to Calvin.

Amanda was mature for her age, Haberthier said. According to him, she had a much better ratio of studying to drinking than he and his friends had at her age.

“She would have tests and not move for five to six hours and be like, ‘Wow, I could’ve done better,’” Carter said.

“She was just so hard-working and motivated.”

The investigation of the accident is still ongoing.

Elaine and Amanda were driving when they came to a complete stop on the bridge, according to a Boone County Sheriff ’s Department press release.

The semitrailer behind them swerved and missed hitting them, but the semitrailer behind the first truck was unable to avoid it, according to the press release.

These facts bring up concerns for Haberthier, who said the bridges around Cincinnati are outdated and dramatically over capacity.

“It’s a bigger issue, but in moments like this you wonder why we spend so much money on other things like wars and otherwise, and yet billions could be put to

bridges,” Haberthier said.

He said he wonders what would have happened if the bridges were up to code.

“Someone died because they didn’t have the mandated shoulder to pull over on that’s required,” Haberthier said. “There’s no way this is the first time it’s happened, and there’s no way it’s the last.”

Haberthier said he hopes people don’t just remember Amanda’s personality, but also to not take life for granted and cherish the things Amanda would never get to.

“It’s funny, but I try to think of soaring overviews,” Haberthier said. “It’s tough.

It feels so generic, all those positive things you say when people die, except for her it’s true.”

She looked up every graduate school her big was interested in applying to, telling her she had nothing to worry about with admissions.

“She was more of a big than I ever was to her,” she said. “She was the greatest best friend I ever had. She knew me better than anyone else ever has.”

Finally, Ludwig’s cousin Eric Haberthier read parts of her eulogy he wrote for her funeral Friday.

He spoke about Ludwig’s relationship with her

mother and how smart, kind, caring and positive she was.

“Having those qualities didn’t make Amanda unique,” he said. “What made her so special was that she was ours.”

He turned around to the members of Theta Phi Alpha and thanked them for being such great friends to Amanda.

He said Amanda chose them to be part of her life and that he was grateful for everything that they did for her during her time at IU. One of her sorority sisters reminded the crowd of their amazing connection.

“She may have been born an only child, but she left this earth with a hundred sisters.”

EDITOR LEXIA BANKS

LET’S GET DOWN TO

BUSINESS Weekend had the opportunity to do a group interview with Vince Vaughn and Nick Frost about their upcoming film, “Unfinished Business.”

Vince Vaughn Q In the film, your character owns a small, humble company compared to the competing larger franchise.

Is there a particular reason you are drawn to playing the underdog role?

A I guess I relate more to the underdogs in life, personally. What I like about the movie is that these guys are in a position that they don’t like in life. They are involved in a job that they are not passionate about. In a moment, he pushes all in and thinks that things could be different. What’s fun is that Dave Franco’s character is very funny and unique and Tom Wilkinson makes it rootable, that you have a group of guys that are in a position where the stakes are high and you are rooting for them.

Q What was your biggest challenge when filming “Unfinished Business?”

A It wasn’t too big of a challenge. It’s like homework or a test. If you are prepared, you aren’t nervous. The more you prepare, the more you can manage your stress.

Nick Frost Q What aspect of “Unfinished Business” are you most excited for people to see?

A The movie as a whole is fun — the compilation of it is nice. I like what the characters go through. I like where the characters end up, and the overall theme of the movie is great.

Q What was the dynamic like working with Dave and Tom? A They are really sweet, funny and genuine. We talked a lot, laughed a lot, we had a good time — we had our inside jokes, things that we would say to make each other laugh but nothing too crazy.

Q You mentioned you really like working with Steven Conrad. What is distinctive about his style?

A He has a unique voice and style. If you read him, you can tell that he is the writer. It’s nice to work with a writer that has an original voice and point of view — I like that.

Q Can you tell us about your character, Bill Whimsely?

A Big Bill Whimsley. He’s just a bloody good egg. I think he works for a man who he sees as really horrible. And that man is James Marsden, a man who in real life isn’t really horrible. He’s actually really beautiful. And I think he just decides that he’s had enough and he wants to make sure that the good guy comes out on top for once. And he makes a stand, and I like that about him and about the character. And he’s jovial and a little bit sad and single and a bit lonely. But he picks himself up and I love that.

Q What really drew you to your character and can you relate to Bill in any way?

A Can I relate to Bill? Yeah.

I think Bill’s just a kind of everyman really, apart from the fact that he’s kind of a leather-clad bear. I think I can relate to his bearness.

Q In “Unfinished Business,” you work with three pretty prominent actors, Vince Vaughn, Tom Wilkinson and Dave Franco, all of which have

very different acting styles and comedy styles in their own right. What do you think most helped you get into your role when working with these three pretty famous actors?

A I never rest on any laurels.

I’m there to work. I want to do the best for Ken and for Vince and for Tom, the producers, and so I work hard. I make sure I know my business, and I make notes on the script and I make suggestions throughout the process.

Q As a writer yourself, what was a distinctive quality you saw in Steven Conrad’s script that appealed to you?

A Steve wrote, he wrote a great script with a lot of heart.

And I like my character, and it’s always a starting point.

Steve was on set a lot and we collaborated, and that was what this film was like. They kind of pitched it to me like, “Let’s have fun. Let’s hang out and play together and see what we can do.” But Steve’s script was the cornerstone of that, and everything else that happened kind of came from that.

Steve Conrad script fails to reach full potential ‘Unfinished Business’ CWhat do “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty,”“The Promotion” and “The Pursuit of Happyness” have in common? They were all written by Steven Conrad.

Now, Conrad has brought his gift for blending comedy and drama to “Unfinished Business.”

“Unfinished Business” stars Vince Vaughn as Dan Trunkman, a middle-aged man who leaves his job to pursue the American dream by creating his own business. What could go wrong?

Along for the ride are Timothy McWinters and Michael Pancake. Tim, played by Tom Wilkinson, is an elderly man let go from his job because of his age. Mike, played by Dave Franco, is a confusing young man with no business experience.

Filled with hope— and contempt toward their former company, the three launch their business. A year later, they are in debt and desperate for a business deal — so desperate they travel to Germany to get the sacred handshake that will seal the deal.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a Conrad film without some mishaps. Chasing the deal leads the three into some awkward situations, ranging from driving the wrong way down a road to tracking a business associate into a sex fetish club.

These situations are the perfect setups for scathing dialogue full of witty insults and moments that obliterate the walls of your SEE BUSINESS, PAGE 8

Will Forte premieres new comedy ‘The Last Man on Earth’ B Imagine being the last man on Earth and finding out the last woman is absolutely awful.

On Fox’s new show, “The Last Man on Earth,” “Saturday Night Live” veteran Will Forte plays Phil Miller, a man who traveled through all of North America trying to find out if there was a single living soul remaining on the planet.

After months of entertaining himself by forcing exploding car collisions and playing racquetball in his foyer, Phil pleads for God to send him a woman because he is just so lonely and needs someone to interact with.

He promised that he would appreciate her and enjoy her, but when Phil discovers a woman named Carol living in a tent in Tucson, Ariz., things take a quick turn.

He realizes he completely hates her.

Carol is the kind of woman who pronounces tomato “toe-mah-toe” and corrects people for ending sentences with a preposition.

Phil begged for anyone in the world to interact with but now tries to avoid seeing Carol, let alone repopulating the Earth with her.

At first I wondered where the show, written

by Forte, would go. What would the plot be? I mean, sure, watching Forte talk to inanimate balls and credit the movie “Cast Away” for nailing loneliness is entertaining but not

exactly sustainable. Then Kristen Schaal, who plays Carol, comes along.

Schaal and Forte are both known for their absurdist humor. Schaal once personified her vagina in a stand-up special and Forte stuck sticks of celery in his bare bottom in the movie “MacGruber.”

That humor is on full display in “The Last Man on Earth” as expected, but the two-episode premiere shows there is a tiny heart inside the show that includes Forte using fish tanks as bowling pins.

Keep in mind that Forte was second billing in the Oscar-nominated drama “Nebraska.” He is not all jokes and absurdity.

I think the show is a story about loneliness and how difficult it is for isolated people to allow others into their lives. Phil is lonely but wants his privacy and alone time back when Carol invades his life.

Carol’s goal is to break down the hard exterior of Phil to display a nice, caring man deep down.

Despite his attempts to avoid this, he shows effort and does a big favor for her. Carol sees that he is not so awful when he tries not to take credit for it, but the show reminds us of how funny it can be when Phil feels the need to make sure she actually knows he did it.

I am still skeptical of where this show will go.

How many storylines can be manufactured by a show about the last two people on Earth?

Regardless, I’m in for a little while. I want to see where Forte takes us.

‘Marigold Hotel’ is full of charm ‘The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel’ B The first lesson of this film is to make any future films like it into a mini-series.

With quick-witted and highly energized acting mixed in with feel-good love stories and cool wedding dance numbers, “The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel” was a film that had it all. In fact, it almost had too much.

Although I was aware of its predecessor, “The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel,” I had not seen it. So going into the film, I wasn’t sure how much I would understand. About halfway through, I realized it probably wouldn’t have helped much anyway.

“The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel” is not only a mouthful title, but a mouthful

to explain.

It is the journey of the dream of Sonny, played by Dev Patel, to expand his hotel for the elderly into two. The hotel is located in India, but the majority of the residents are affluent British people.

To build a second hotel, Sonny must land the interest of an investor. His plan to do so is to suck up to a hotel inspector he isn’t supposed to know about. At the same time, Sonny must juggle the task of getting married to his supportive, although sometimes questionably over-flirtatious, fiancée, Sunaina, played by Tina Desai.

While all of that is going on, you have to follow the love stories and tragedies of the current residents. Evelyn and Douglas, played by Judi Dench and Bill Nighy, have found themselves out of retirement and back into the workforce, while also trying to awkwardly fall in love with each other.

Norman and Carol, played by Ronald Pickup

and Diana Hardcastle, are trying to decide whether or not they want to become monogamous or just keep sleeping with whomever they can get their hands on.

Madge, played by Celia Imrie, is driven around the town of Jaipur by her admirable chauffeur, trying to decide which of the two rich guys who have proposed to her to marry, even though she doesn’t want to marry either one.

Out of all of these confusing and also easilysolvable problems that wouldn’t exist if these characters just had better communication, there is the great, amazing, talented and perfect Muriel, played by none other than Maggie Smith.

About 20 minutes into the film, I realized Smith’s character was my spirit animal.

As co-manager of the hotel, Muriel is often asked for advice by her irrational friends and co-residents, to

which she replies, “My best advice is to not give any.”

Then she makes a snarky and witty comment and walks off like the amazing person she is.

Though I do think this film has a lot happening in its two-hour running time, that’s not me saying it’s an entirely bad film.

I did enjoy it, and there was a lot of genuine laughter from myself and the theater audience, as well as moments where I thought I might cry.

It’s an emotional journey that takes you through life and love and, as Smith’s character proves, your family is more than just people you’re related to.

The film had a lot of charm and exuberance that made up for its misfires. Its multiple narratives were all tied up nicely in the end, giving the audience a sigh of happy relief after being guided down a winding emotional roller coaster.

Victoria Lutgrint

A&E premieres haunting series ‘The Returned’ A “The Returned,” which premiered on A&E Tuesday night, creates a new sort of supernatural setting in a small, sleepy town, in a quiet way.

The show begins by immediately introducing us to Camille, a teenage girl who wakes up in a mountain range and begins to walk home.

Meanwhile, at a city council meeting in what appears to be a Mayberry-like town, the group discusses making a monument to commemorate the students pronounced dead in a bus accident.

Re-enter Camille, who finally made it home. Her mother discovers her rummaging through her refrigerator and is shocked and thrown into disarray.

Can you guess why?

Camille died in the school bus accident.

I immediately felt I was watching an old episode of “The Twilight Zone.”

The difference is that “The Returned” is a serial series, telling the same story, week by week, rather a new story each episode. I’m intrigued and quite possibly in love.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 comfort zone. But, for reasons I don’t understand, Conrad and the movie’s director, Ken Scott, choose to pull back and play it safe.

Instead of pushing the boundaries, they stay as far away from them as possible, keeping the jokes mild and the reactions unexpectedly dull.

The story is undeniably focused on Vaughn’s character and how his career is affecting his personal life, but the script

PHOTO COURTESY OF A&E

In “The Returned,” less is so much more.

There is no loud background music, but rather a low, haunting soundtrack that adds a special element of suspense.

The dialogue is scant and soft. It forces you to rely on observation, rather than simply spelling it all out in the script. Combined, these two qualities seem to be the formula for a riveting production.

In a society where we want most of our

entertainment delivered quickly and effortlessly, it was refreshing to watch a show that required so much energy on the part of the viewer. “The Returned” turns the viewer into an active participant who must watch carefully, build suspicions and make his or her own conclusions.

As more of the dead students return, they speak less and less, if at all. They have a wicked, chilling presence that commands attention and gives them

surprising depth for a pilot episode.

Pilot episodes often make the mistake of trying to pack in too much information or too much character development in one sitting.

“The Returned” has created an investment, one that is sure to see a return.

I do not know if I should be scared, confused, captivated or shocked by “The Returned,” but I do know one thing: I want more.

fails to highlight Vaughn’s talents as a comedic actor.

Vaughn’s comedy delivery is dry, consisting of heavy sarcasm, clever one-liners and facial expressions that signal every thought he is holding back.

In “Unfinished Business,” Vaughn’s dialogue is restricted to heartfelt concerns for his family with a handful of quips to spice things up.

If anything, the script relies on Vaughn’s dramatic acting, allowing him to slip into the role of a concerned and loving

father with a quirky sense of humor.

Where the screenplay fails Vaughn, it sets up Franco perfectly. Franco’s character is the human embodiment of a puppy. He’s awkward and often far too happy and, at times, completely witless.

Mike Pancake is a far cry from the cocky playboy Franco has been in “Neighbors” and “21 Jump Street,” but he pulls it off without a hitch.

He claims the film’s funniest lines for himself and uses innocent reactions to the most

ridiculous situations to draw out laugh after laugh.

Wilkinson is just kind of there for the ride, providing absurd and somewhat eyebrow-raising comic relief where needed.

“Unfinished Business” is a different kind of comedy, and I’ve been begging for different.

But it was executed poorly. It focused too much on the lighthearted side and didn’t take full advantage of the actors or the big plot points.

Internationally renowned brass band to play at IU

Local Bloomington music studio Rewind Records aims to take musical artists to the next level by offering music lessons, providing them with a professional-quality recording studio and selling high-quality musical merchandise.

Local store celebrates 5 years

By Kelly Obbie kobbie@indiana.edu

In five years a local musician went from managing a Circle K gas station to running his own music business full-time.

Now, Rewind Records is celebrating five years of business.

In 2010, former IU student Aaron Chandler started Rewind Records, a music store offering demo recordings and lessons, and turned it into a profitable business. Yet, Chandler’s work in music began before Rewind.

Chandler’s love for music originated while still in high school.

“I had a friend there that played guitar ... my dad also played ... It really seemed like the thing to do,”

Chandler said.

He got a guitar for his 14th birthday, he said.

“And I just taught myself,” he said. “And I played in bands all in high school.”

Chandler continued developing his love of music through teaching for several years and working at SmithHolden Music Company, a local music store. When it closed, Chandler started his own studio named Chandler’s Music Education while still working a second job.

“I was managing a Circle K, and I kept doing that for like six months into the business just to provide extra money,” Chandler said. “We made a profit in the first month because I already had students ... Once I saw that it was working, I was able to quit.”

Eventually, Chandler’s

Music Education was too small for those who wanted to teach there, so Chandler opened Rewind Records for more space.

Rewind Records is still operating today and hires fulltime employees and interns.

“There’s several teachers here that have been able to go full time, and we’re looking for new teachers too, some music students,” Chandler said. “We also do an internship program.”

Rewind Record’s five-year anniversary party will be held March 28. All are welcome to attend what Chandler calls the “big birthday bash,” where there will be food, music and a new compilation record.

The party will also be a chance to say goodbye to Ben Fowler, a drum teacher who has been with Rewind from

AN EMMA DILEMMA

EMMA WENNINGER | IDS

A lake in the mountains in Madrid. The hiking trails in Madrid are always filled with families and groups.

Hiking in Spain proves to be similar to in the United States When living in a big city, you need to constantly be on your guard. Not because anything bad is going to happen, but rather because the city can be fast-paced and no one particularly cares whether or not you make it to class in time.

It’s both exhilarating and exhausting, and because everything is so far away, we are constantly moving — walking, running and everything in between. I come home at the end of the day and sleep the hardest I’ve ever slept before.

Luckily, Madrid offers a few escapes.

Madrid is situated in a large and dry mountain valley in the center of Spain, and Spain itself has several mountain ranges that attract hikers from all over Europe.

There are even some parks in the outskirts of the city.

This weekend we decided to take advantage of it.

We went farther out by train to a tiny pueblo at the base of a mountain. Spaniards like to stay relatively active, so the hiking trails around Madrid, both near and far, are always full of families and groups.

Many come to camp as

well, and occasionally someone with an entirely Patagonia-based outfit and trekking poles would power walk by and make us, with our school backpacks and dirty sneakers, feel a little less fit than we initially thought.

Madrid’s environment and temperatures are very different from the Midwest.

For the most part the air in the Midwest is very wet, as evidenced by humid, sticky summers and rainy winters. Twothirds of Indiana was also flattened by a glacier millions of years ago, so we don’t really do “uphill.” Also, as everyone knows, there’s corn and not much else.

In the parks and pueblos in and around Madrid, however, the weather and terrain can vary enormously.

At one point we came upon an area similar to the Redwood forests in California. After walking just an hour more we were situated in front of a lake with pine trees. On the way back we walked through what looked like Montana, until we hit a plateau and it became more like a desert: more arid, with plants lower to the ground.

But more so, it allowed us to get out of the city for a

minute.

Madrid, while never boring, is a big city, and a big city can begin to take its toll. The air is dirty with pollution, and the metros are crowded.

It was nice to be able to get out with friends and explore.

It’s also proven that being in nature helps your mental and physical health, so I recommend trying to get out and hike somewhere as often as you can.

We were able to take advantage of something the Spanish really enjoy doing.

When I came home my roommate expressed jealousy that he didn’t have time to go hiking since he and his friends in León camped nearly every weekend.

I’ve found here that sometimes exploring the culture doesn’t mean the history or the food.

Sometimes it just means participating in the way the world works, when the world is new. ewnning@indiana.edu

ANNIVERSARY PARTY 7 p.m. Saturday March 28, Rewind Records the beginning.

“When he started he only had three students ... and now he’s got over 30,” Chandler said. “He’s got a very successful music career, and he also was able to quit his serving job.”

Celebrations aside, running Rewind Records is not an easy feat, and Chandler tries to keep the job interesting.

Eli Sabbagh, a Rewind employee, said Chandler’s resourcefulness is partially responsible for Rewind’s success.

“In this area, businesses come and go quite a lot, and he’s been here for a while and he’s making profit,” he said.

An internationally acclaimed brass band will come to IU today.

The Fountain City Brass Band will perform with the Fountain City Youth Academy Youth Band at 5 p.m. today at Auer Hall, located in the Simon Music Center.

Based in Kansas City, Mo., and attracting musicians from all over the United States, the Fountain City Brass Band is a group dedicated to cultural enrichment.

This ensemble has competed globally since its founding in 2002. They have been North American Brass Band champions four times, U.S. Open Brass Band Champions seven times and were the first Americans ever to win a major brass band competition in the United Kingdom when they attended the Scottish Open Brass Band Competition in 2009, according to the Fountain City Brass Band’s Facebook page.

The Fountain City Brass Band is once again on its way to the North American Brass Band Championship in Fort Wayne this year.

But before they play for the championship, there will be a scheduled performance in Bloomington where the ensemble will play and test new material, Joseph Parisi, the band’s music director, said in an email.

“They were featured at the International Tuba Euphonium Association Convention in the (Musical) Arts

FOUNTAIN CITY BRASS BAND 5 p.m. Thursday, Auer Hall Center last May in Bloomington and received a standing ovation,” said Daniel Perantoni, a provost professor at Jacobs School of Music, in an email.

Brass bands are very popular in Europe as well as the United States, Perantoni said. He said he hopes when the Fountain City Brass Band comes to play, “they will be an inspiration to all brass musicians.”

The Fountain City Brass Band has played everything from opera, jazz, modern compositions and Broadway numbers in its concerts. By doing this, the group aims to “bridge the gap” between classical and popular music styles, according to its Facebook page.

The ensemble will play Edward Gregson’s “Variations on ‘Laudate Dominum” and Paul LovattCooper’s “Dark Side of the Moon.” Also, the group will perform two 15-minute-long pieces in preparation for their championship: Thomas Doss’ “Spiriti,” a required piece, and Philip Harper’s “The Divine Right,” which is the band’s “own choice” piece, Parisi said.

This event is open and free to the public.

“I think the crowd will be impressed with the level of performance put upon every member of this 30-plus member group,” Parisi said.

‘Chappie’ is a thrilling and heartfelt drama ‘Chappie’ AThe concept of a robot that can feel emotion is nothing new.

Robin Williams played an android that develops emotions in “Bicentennial Man.” In “A.I. Artificial Intelligence,” a robotic boy is designed to love. A robot is framed for murder in “I, Robot.” And if anyone thinks “WALL-E” didn’t have feelings, we obviously weren’t watching the same movie.

“Chappie” explores the same

concept of machines and consciousness, but executes that exploration in a way that removes all doubt about whether a robot could be exactly like a human.

Set in a futuristic Johannesburg, Chappie is a former police robot who is cast off at the beginning of the movie for being damaged beyond repair. When the engineer who designed the military droids, Deon Wilson, discovers how to program consciousness, he uses Chappie to test drive the software.

Unlike other attempts at depicting sentient technology, Chappie begins his “life” like a toddler with accelerated learning capabilities.

Though he’s stolen by a few crooks who plan to use him in a heist to pay back a crime lord, Chappie grows up like any other human infant. He learns his first words, swears like a sailor, reads story books, shoots guns, plays with toys, steals cars and watches cartoons.

Meanwhile, a disgruntled weapons designer — Vincent Moore, played by Hugh Jackman — plots to take down Deon and the robot police force.

Everything about Jackman’s character screams psychopath, from his budding mullet to the giant human-controlled robot he created to replace Deon’s droids.

Though Jackman’s crazed military character is cliché, the movie once

again puts a twist on a norm.

Vincent is spiritual and doesn’t believe robots can be conscious. His religiosity is part of an underlying motif about creationism and the existence of a soul that permeates the film.

Deon tells Chappie he is his “Maker.” Although he acts like a father toward Chappie, he is distinct from the criminals, Yolandi and Ninja, whom Chappie calls “Mommy” and “Daddy.”

Mommy is willing to let the Maker see Chappie occasionally, but Daddy threatens to shoot Deon every time he comes around.

It’s a custody battle worthy of “The Jerry Springer Show.”

Though Chappie doesn’t revere Deon like one might a deity, Deon mostly serves as his moral compass, trying to correct Yolandi and Ninja’s bad parenting.

To her credit, Yolandi attempts to protect Chappie from Ninja’s negative influence. She explains to Chappie what a soul is and makes him understand that he has one.

Not bad for a mother who wears a hot pink tank top that reads “Who needs TITS?” On the surface, “Chappie” is an action thriller with a maledominated, guns-a-blazin’ cast, including the only Sigourney Weaver character I’ve seen run away.

But at the heart of it is a thoughtprovoking story about what it is to be human.

It’s not just about a robot that can feel emotion, but a robot who can feel emotion.
