While the Indiana Daily Student is a staple on campus, it is also available throughout Bloomington, from the north side of town to downtown Kirkwood, inside businesses and on sidewalk newsstands. What does the IDS mean to Bloomington residents? Alan Craig, 40, said he reads the IDS about twice a week. He said he likes it because it is free, and allows him to stay in touch with what is happening with the University and student body. “I often pick up my copy at the YMCA after I’ve gone swimming, and I stay abreast of the local issues through the IDS,” Craig said.

“It means a lot to me.” Catherine Brown, 44, said it has been a while since she has read the IDS, but she likes that it is located around town. “It’s one of those things I’m glad is around, and it’s really accessible,” Brown said. “It’s a matter of me remembering to pick it up, which I don’t always.” She said she has been impressed with the quality of writing and their outreach to the Bloomington community.

One hundred and fifty years ago today, Sol Meredith and Robert Richardson published the first copy of what was then known as the Indiana Student. The front page advertised the cost of subscription — $1.50 for 40 weeks — and announced the founders’ hopes to “double the size of our paper, if the patronage it receives at the hands of the public will justify us.” Then, the paper was semi-monthly, and despite an eight-year period of dormancy beginning in 1875, progressed to a weekly newspaper before transitioning to a daily in 1898. At that point, the paper changed its name to the Daily Student. The Indiana Daily Student would not get its current name until 1914, the same year the paper moved its printing operations from the Bloomington World-Courier to its own plant on campus. The paper printed six days a week, with the exception of a Sunday edition, until World War I, when a paper shortage caused the staff to scrap the Monday edition, after which it became a five-day publication. “Born in a period of reconstruction following the civil war, the septuagenarian has recorded the day by day histories of the Spanish-American War and World War I, and the trying day that followed,” wrote staff writer Louis Hines on the paper’s 75th anniversary in 1942. In 1882, William Lowe Bryan returned to IU to give the the Indiana Student a fresh start, eight years after financial constraints closed the paper. He had dropped out previously but returned after correspondence with a junior transfer from Butler University, Clarence Goodwin.

In contrast to present-day journalism career paths, Pyle dropped out of school before graduating to take a reporting job at the LaPorte Herald. He eventually served as a foreign correspondent during World War II, reporting in both Pacific and European theaters. Pyle was killed April 18, 1945, while covering the Army’s 305th Infantry Regiment in Iejima, Japan. Pyle’s “oaken desk” remained in use at the newsroom, which moved with the School of Journalism to Ernie Pyle Hall in 1954. It is now tradition for each editorin-chief to sign the inside of the desk. A new charter, the document separating the organization from the University, got approval from the Board of Trustees on July 1, 1969. This officially designated the IDS as an auxiliary and ensured editorial and financial independence, which had been and continues to be a source of debate. In the first few decades of its independence, the paper struggled financially. Paid circulation returned in 1981, and on April 11, 1986, the IDS reported the expected income of $57,701 was far too high. Instead, the paper had only made $5,459. The paper traversed this difficulty and resumed free, mass circulation starting in the 1995-1996 academic year. The IDS staff launched the Indiana Digital Student, a precursor to the current website, the following summer. The first website was static and did not update with breaking news but was redesigned as technology evolved. In fall 2013, the IU Board of Trustees voted to merge the School of Journalism with other telecommunication and film fields, creating the present-day Media School. The School of Journalism, established in 1974, became a department, moving out of Ernie Pyle Hall in summer 2016. The IDS newsroom accompanied the department to Franklin Hall. Ernie Pyle’s desk, which editors worked at for decades following his death, sits in the entry to the office for IU Student Media. A newspaper which began with a staff of a half dozen now has about 75 regular contributors, with another 175 people on Student Media’s payroll.

Canterbury House offers interfaith service By Hannah Boufford hbouffor@umail.iu.edu @hannahboufford

Candlelight flickered on the white walls of the living room chapel at the Canterbury House on Tuesday night where a Jesus statue hung on the cross. About 13 people gathered for the Episcopal Campus Ministry’s Taizé service in the low-lit room to sing and pray together, as well as to honor Black History Month. “Nothing can trouble, nothing can frighten,” those in attendance sang together. The services come from a community in France that was created in the 1940s when a group of monks, following Brother Roger Schütz, gathered in Taizé, Mother Linda Johnson said. The services emphasize unity and peace, event organizer Luiz Lopes said. Seats were set up to face the front of the room where pictures of Martin Luther King Jr., Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Jennifer BaskervilleBurrows, the Bishop-Elect of the Diocese of Indianapolis and the first black woman to be elected as a diocesan

bishop, were set up on a table. Yellow booklets with Taizé songs, as well as purple slips detailing the agenda were handed out to those who gathered for the service. Taizé services have become very common on college campuses, Johnson said. They are more meditative than other religious services, Rex Hinkle, the Cantor for Episcopal Campus Ministry said. “People are searching,” she said. “People are searching for some sort of peace and connection that’s not electronic.” Johnson said she has been to the chapel in Taizé, France, that became part of the underground movement to transfer Jews from France to Switzerland during World War II. She talked about how the chapel was set up on a hill and how 5,000 people would gather there in profound silence to pray in all different languages. “It’s a sign of hope,” she said. Lopes emphasized that the service was interfaith, open to all faiths and denominations. Though this service in particular had more readings from

the Christian faith, he said the goal of future services will be to incorporate texts and readings from other faiths. “It’s both an asset and a liability because some people don’t want to branch out of their sandbox,” Lopes said. Different from typical religious ceremonies, the service was leaderless on Tuesday night. Taizé songs were the

main aspect of the service, though readings of poems by Langston Hughes and a reading of a sermon by Absalom Jones, the first black priest of the Episcopal church, were also featured. A song by Margaret Bonds, one of the first recognized black composers in the United States, was also sung. In between songs, the

Lopes described the service as being very personal, focusing on the music and readings, so each person gets something different out of it. “It’s a time to reflect on the day, reflect on God,” Hinkle said. Hinkle, in his position as cantor, helps to lead songs during the Sunday afternoon

services at the Canterbury House. However, Lopes was in charge tonight. Throughout the service, he encouraged the musicians and singers in the back of the room with head nods and thumbs up. Future Taizé services will be held at the Canterbury House on March 8, April 13 and May 3.

IU Institute offers dating tips, tricks for shy people

From IDS reports

The IU Recreational Sports department started its annual celebration of EveryBODY Week on Monday. Painted all across the doors of the Student Recreational Sports Center are motivational messages like “Smile, you look great today,” and “Be Strong Be Confident Be You!” From Feb. 19-24, students are encouraged to appreciate and celebrate their bodies exactly how they are, avoiding any negativity about body image or personal appearance. To begin the week, the IU Body Project group aired a documentary entitled “Embrace,” which follows the story of Taryn Brumfitt, the founder of The Body Image Movement. Brumfitt shared her journey with body image, her fluctuations of body weight and her happiness at each stage. Even when Brumfitt became a mom, pregnant and at her largest, she said she had never felt happier. “Being pregnant was the best thing ever,” Brumfitt said. “I loved growing a baby.” After having three children, Brumfitt said she considered the idea of having elective surgery to remove her excess fat and help her body return to its former shape and size, for a more youthful look. However, she decided not to follow through with it, after realizing what kind of message this would send to her young daughter about being confident and feeling beautiful in her own skin. Instead, for 15 weeks, Brumfitt trained for a body building competition, getting herself back in shape without surgical modification. By the end of the competition, she had her bikini perfect body — but still wasn’t happy despite her transformation. To get her new body, Brumfitt said she had made too many sacrifices. “Too much time, too much energy, too much obsession,” Brumfitt said. “This body of mine isn’t an

ornament, it’s a vehicle.” Brumfitt is one of thousands of women who feel their bodies are not good enough or do not meet societal expectations. The “Embrace” trailer opened with the statistic that 91 percent of women hate their bodies. Sophomore Carolyn Simon, a director for the Body Project, said she joined the organization because of her own personal experiences and pressures to be thin. “I personally have struggled with an eating disorder and body image and spent most of my life wanting to lose weight or change my appearance,” Simon said. While Simon doesn’t think of herself in a negative way anymore, other women, as noted in the film, continue to struggle. Women of all different backgrounds feel the societal pressures and personal expectations to be thin, always trying to attain the highest level of beauty possible. The second half of the documentary featured a variety of

speakers, including magazine editors, actresses and models sharing their experiences with subpar body images in their highly judgmental professions, entirely based on looks. One Australian model, Stefania Ferrario, said she had seen some of her peers so desperately strive for thinness, they started eating cotton balls to fill up their stomachs. For added flavor, they would soak the cotton balls in Gatorade. Some websites, like Thin Intentions, document more than 50 tips for women who want to live a pro-anorexic life. Some of these tips include drinking a shot of apple cider vinegar prior to eating to minimize fat absorption and eating in front of a mirror or naked if possible, to keep in mind your flaws and motivation for losing weight. The documentary also discussed how women’s fears of being fat are starting to develop in young girls at earlier ages. A 2009

University of Central Florida study found almost half of their 3 to 6-year-old girl respondents were already worried about being fat. “I started wanting to be thinner when I was in second grade,” Simon said. “To me, that makes me so sad, to think of myself as a second grader, when I’m 7 years old, that I need to lose weight.” “Embrace” touched on the media’s influence on women’s interpretations of what constitutes beauty. Simon said she also thinks your environment and the role models you have surrounding you have a large impact on your personal perception. Since coming to college, Simon said she has realized what is truly important — and being thin isn’t everything. “I think being beautiful is about accepting your flaws and your imperfections and knowing that even though you may have those, you’re still just as amazing a person that you could ever be,” Simon said.

IUPD opens survey to name new dog By Kelly Evans evanskn@indiana.edu | @knickele5

The IU Bloomington Police Department will welcome a new K-9 to its department this spring. This chocolate lab, only a year-and-a-half old, has already started his training in becoming a bomb dog. Capabilities of these kinds of dogs include detecting explosives, which will help at major events like football and basketball games. In addition, the K-9 will be able to track persons and objects. IUPD encourages students, staff, faculty and the rest of the Bloomington

community to help them in naming their new pup. Their survey for suggestions can be taken through IUPD’s Google doc. The deadline for the survey is Feb. 24. While the survey form includes a few names, it also features an “other” option where participants can enter in their own creative recommendations. Assurance Communications Manager Tracy James said “Dynamite” has been a popular choice, incorporating a fun connection to the dog’s explosive detection training. “Boomer has been popular, but my personal favorite is Zeus,” Skaggs said.

Shyness is an issue afflicting people of all sorts, especially when dating. Bernardo Carducci, an IUSoutheast New Albany psychology professor and director of the Shyness Research Institute said it doesn’t have to be an issue. He said it comes down to ease of conversation. “The idea when engaging in conversation is to make it easier on the other person,” Carducci said in an IU press release. “It’s not about showing how brilliant or sophisticated or funny you are. It’s about making the other person feel comfortable in the conversation.” Carducci recommends before even going on a dinner date, learn something about your location, research current events and avoid politics or religion on the first date. “Get conversation, not converts,” he said in the release. “Successful conversation is the starting point of all relationships.” First, he said people often make an error in thinking everything they say has to be brilliant, eloquent and well-structured. “The mistake people make is that they think their opening line has to be brilliant, that they have to sweep the other person off their feet,” Carducci said. “The problem is, if you start out at that expectation, you have to maintain that expectation.” After the first step, people should offer some personal information about themselves. That information lets the other person you’re out on the date with know how they can try to relate with you. Fishing for new topics is the next thing on a date. Carducci said people can get nervous if they have awkward silence as they search through topics but said it’s not as bad as people think. “Be aware of ‘awkward silences,’” Carducci said in the release. “Typically they aren’t as long as you think they are. Don’t think ‘Oh

Step one Start simple. Make an observation about the location or environment. Comment on shared experience and set the pace for easy conversation. Step two Offer personal information, such as how you’ve been looking for local Thai restaurants since you moved to town. That tells your date you’re interested in ethnic food and new to town. Your date then has an idea who you are and he or she can try to relate to you. Step three For every topic, Carducci suggests asking a question or making a comment about the subject to try and find a “winner.” Step four Once you find a topic you can both connect to, build the conversation by associating the current topic to other related ones. From there, the conversation can extend to different avenues and interests. Step ﬁve When the conversation is ending, let it go. Whether it’s been 20 minutes or two hours, when it’s time to go, signal conversation is winding down.

Senate passes bill to ban sanctuary campuses By Eman Mozaffar emozaffa@indiana.edu @emanmozaffar

Before the Indiana Senate voted to pass a bill enforcing federal immigration laws on college campuses, three students held up a banner that read “EDUCATION NOT DEPORTATION.” The senators in the Corrections and Criminal Law committee immediately shut down the protest, then voted 6-2 in favor of passing the bill. If it becomes law, the bill will make sanctuary campuses illegal. A college designated as a sanctuary campus is one with policies to protect students who are undocumented immigrants. Previous legislation, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals act, protects some undocumented minors from deportation and lets them obtain work permits and an education. The new bill would make state educational institutions count as governmental bodies and potentially limit ways colleges can implement the DACA act and other protections for undocumented immigrants. Erika Espinoza, one of the protesting Ball State University students and an immigrant from Mexico, is protected by the DACA act. “I felt humiliated in front of everyone,” Espinoza said after the failed protest. “Just because I am protected now doesn’t mean I will be in the next month.” Students across many campuses in Indiana have been protesting to demand their schools adopt sanctuary status after President Trump’s election.

EMAN MOZAFFAR | IDS

Ball State University students Mari Lynne Cruz, Alex Galan and Erika Espinoza display their banner in support of sanctuary campuses. After trying to display it during the senate hearing, they were immediately shut down by senators.

This classification would give schools permission to take extra measures to protect undocumented students, from demanding warrants from customs officers to refusing to cooperate with the law if asked to produce student records. IU history professor Alex Lichtenstein said he doesn’t see a point in the bill, other than to raise fear in current and potential students. He spoke against the bill in front of the committee. “I would foresee some major civil disobedience,” Lichtenstein said. “This bill will

create many more protests on Indiana’s campuses.” Lichtenstein said the legislation will harm expression and basic human rights in school systems, especially since he said it appeared to be hastily created in response to protests and the political climate rising from the Trump administration’s executive orders. Sen. Michael Young, who wrote the bill with Sen. Michael Delph, both Republicans, countered that it took them months to plan and write the legislation. No institution can be

above the law, Young said, and the bill just includes state universities in a list of governmental bodies. The bill will not make repercussions any harsher for undocumented immigrants, he said, and Indiana will continue to protect students under the DACA policy. “It seemed to me that if it’s for government entities, it should be for all, not some,” Young said. “It doesn’t seem like that’s right.” As many students and educational professionals stood in line to speak in

opposition to the majority opinion, Young and most of his colleagues in the Corrections and Criminal Law committee remained open about their support of the bill. The safety of American citizens and people who immigrated legally is too great to allow for the uncertainty of protecting undocumented students, Young said. Some people here illegally have harmful intentions. “What kind of system is that?” Young asked. “Where you cannot talk to the Department of Homeland

Security, and three days later a building is bombed?” Greg Taylor was one of two senators to oppose the bill. He echoed the students’ dissent near the end of the hearing, saying people have been attacked by white supremacists because of their identities, and that this bill will perpetuate the issue and fail to solve any statewide immigration problems. “What are we doing? We should be ashamed,” Taylor said. “The facts are, these people are here, illegal or not, and they are fearful.”

Local class supports, educates families of mentally ill By Christine Fernando w@indiana.edu | @christinetfern

Representatives from Bloomington’s National Alliance on Mental Illness led a class Tuesday intending to help educate relatives of those with mental illness. The organization and its classes work to offer resources and educational tools for caretakers of the mentally ill, NAMI family support facilitator Laura Jesseph said. “We give them the hope to understand that they can help their loved ones through this,” Jesseph said. Jesseph said she thinks courses like this are important because psychiatrists

can be few and far between, likely due to the difficulty of the job and its low wages. As a result, a lot of the caretaking responsibility falls to family members who have trouble adjusting to the situation, Jesseph said. In many cases, they may feel powerless against the effects of the mental illness. “They feel overwhelmed, like there’s nothing they can do to help,” Jesseph said. “But they can help, and we can show them how.” Joanne Shaver, another family support facilitator with NAMI, said these family members often have to set everything in their own lives aside in order to help their loved one through

mental illness. In her case, she didn’t schedule doctor’s or dentist’s appointments for seven years because she was so focused on her sister. But Shaver said this course can offer family members a break from this often overwhelming stress of handling mental illness. “It’s a respite from the avalanche of stress,” Shaver said. “They come here and have room to breathe, a chance to escape for a little while.” In addition to relieving stress and instilling new hope, Jesseph said the class also offers attendees the hard facts about mental illness, which she said are vital.

Man arrested in south side shooting death From IDS Reports

Police have arrested a suspect in the Tuesday shooting death on Bloomington’s south side of an 18-year-old. Malik Parker, 21, is charged with reckless homicide, according to a press release from the Bloomington Police Department. Officers responded at about 3:40 p.m. to the 2500 block of South Camden Drive to reports of a person being shot. In the house’s bathroom, they found Anthony Andrews, 18, bleeding from a gunshot wound to the neck. They could not revive him, and he

was pronounced dead at the scene. In a preliminary investigation, officers learned Andrews and Parker had been with friends, smoking a drug called “shatter,” a butane hash oil with high THC content, according to the release. At some point, Parker picked up a .22 caliber rifle owned by Andrews, pointed it at him and pulled the trigger. After being shot in the neck, Andrews walked to the bathroom and fell on the floor. A juvenile who was at the house called 911. Parker was arrested and taken to Monroe County

Correctional Center. According to MyCase, an online tracker of criminal and civil cases in Indiana, Parker appears to have no prior in-state criminal record. Police and the coroner’s office were on the scene Tuesday afternoon, well before the press release was released. Dogs barked from inside the house, which had a “Beware of the dog” sign tacked to its front door. A stack of cinder blocks in front of the yard warned, in apparently handpainted letters, “Don’t come here.” Jack Evans

Woman allegedly beats daughter with belt From IDS Reports

A woman was arrested Monday after she allegedly beat her 6-year-old daughter with a belt and dragged her across the floor by her hair. Shanice Williams, 24, is charged with battery. The same crime committed against another adult would have likely been a misdemeanor, but because the victim in this case is a child, the charge is a felony, Bloomington Police Department Capt. Steve Kellams said. Police were called at about 11:10 a.m. to Williams’ apartment on the 100 block of East Varsity Lane. Williams’s husband told police he had

woken up to yelling and crying noises. When he investigated, he found his wife striking their daughter several times with a belt, he told police. When he tried to interfere, Williams grabbed the girl by the hair and dragged her across the floor, Kellams said the man told police. As she dragged her through a doorway, the girl slammed into the door frame.Williams then began throwing the girl’s toys in a dumpster outside, Kellams said. Officers who arrived at the scene noticed broken toys by the dumpster. Williams’s husband also told police she hit the girl in the head with a television remote control. Williams told police she

had been working hard to pay bills and was stressed out, and she became angry when the girl urinated in the bathtub. She admitted to hitting the girl with a belt and dragging her across the floor though she said she dragged the girl by the robe she was wearing, not by her hair, Williams said. She denied hitting her with the TV remote. The police report did not note whether the girl had received any medical treatment. Department of Child Services agents were also at the scene. Williams was arrested and taken to Monroe County Correctional Center. Jack Evans

“It’s a very academic-oriented class,” Jesseph said. “We’re here to give family members all the information they need to help with mental illness.” Included in the NAMI curriculum are topics such as neuroanatomy, diagnoses, symptoms, suitable drugs and therapies. Jesseph said using these topics to teach attendees about mental illness with a scientific mindset is essential. “Mental illness is an illness like any other,” Jesseph said. “When we understand the biological basis of it, we can accept it as an illness above all.” Accepting mental illness

as true illness helps counter ignorant responses to those suffering from it, Jesseph said. “When people say, ‘Oh get over it’ or ‘You’re overreacting,’ they do so much harm,” Jesseph said. “They can’t help it. It’s an illness.” Shaver said another mission of the class is to improve communication between family members and loved ones with mental illness. She said these efforts are clear in her own experience with the course when she was a student trying to learn more about her sister’s mental illness. “My sister told me ‘Wow. You’ve been a lot nicer

to me since you took that course,’” Shaver said. “So it definitely helped me connect with and understand my sister and her mental illness.” But most of all, Shaver said the course creates a community of people dealing with many of the same problems in life. She said this community allows caretakers to find support, gain resources, swap contact information for good psychiatrists and sometimes just laugh during difficult times. “It’s not all gloom and doom,” Shaver said. “We come in and share stories and laughter. We lift each other up.”

Man threatens to burn down gym From IDS Reports

A Bloomington man was arrested Monday after he allegedly threatened to burn down a Planet Fitness location during an argument about a membership cancellation. Jeffrey Riley, 45, is charged with intimidation, a felony. Riley went into the gym on the 3400 block of West Third Street to request

his membership be canceled, Bloomington Police Department Capt. Steve Kellams said. Sometime during the conversation, Riley became angry. He told employees he would return to the gym and burn it down with everyone inside it. After he left, employees called police, who got information from the gym before finding Riley at his home on the 600 block of

Ridge Crest Court. They arrested him and took him to the Monroe County Correctional Center. Riley told police he didn’t plan to follow through on the threat and he had just been frustrated. Kellams said he did not know if the gym wound up canceling Riley’s membership. Jack Evans

EDITORIAL BOARD

BRIAN’S CONSERVATIVE CORNER

IUSA fun begins again Brian Gamache is a senior in economics and history.

president. After much back and forth between the two of them, President Trump asked Alexander one final question, “But it was a very substantial victory, do you agree with that?” Alexander answered with a defeated, “You’re the president.” Between the lies, blame and misinformation we as Americans need to ask ourselves if we can trust Trump to be our president.

It’s almost springtime again, and that means IU Student Association elections are just around the corner. As a senior who has sat through three of these lackluster shows, let me give you a little preview of how things are going to go and how little say we actually have. First, there are going to be the jokers. These tickets might have a point to make, want to raise a fuss or promise chocolate fountains and free money for all students without offering solutions. Bonus points awarded here for getting on the ballot. Second, there are going to be the serious tickets. Signs to watch for include names based around the “strong action verb for IUSA” template and an actual Facebook page. These tickets get bonus points for feature posts of business-casual wearing candidates doing power stances in front of the Sample Gates or Assembly Hall taken courtesy of their one friend’s DSLR camera. Serious IUSA tickets take IUSA personally, so watch for websites filled with tabs on policy. Requirements include dense walls of text and repeated topics across the tickets. Based on the past three years, hot buzzwords this year will probably focus on diversity and inclusion, sustainability, safety and mental health. This is not to diminish the severity of these issues, but the tickets simply agree on the problems without differing on or even offering solutions to them in the first place. For a fun exercise, try putting the tickets’ platforms side-by-side to see if you can find any differences. Bonus points for you if you can. Then comes election season. After a month or so of your Facebook friend from Spanish freshman year who was promised an IUSA congressional subcommittee vice-chair post on one ticket attacking another forgotten Facebook friend from your marketing class junior year who is dating another ticket’s presidential candidate, Election Day will come. IU will finally vote and the students’ voice will be heard as a new administration calmly takes control and gets to work. Just kidding. After Election Day, get ready for another few weeks of slogging through a quasilegal process before the IUSA Supreme Court, which has the real final say on the election. Accusations of voter fraud, improper electioneering and campaign finance violations will fly between the serious tickets and ranks of Wikipedia lawyers will argue before the court. The IUSA Supreme Court is a panel of 11 students who have the terrible burden of interpreting a school election code that has all the clarity and objectivity of Apple’s fair use policy. As part of this code, the court can deduct percentages of vote totals based on campaign “violations,” so it has the power to affect outcomes. In 2015, for example, the court changed the winning ticket of the election based on a miniature pony and a few boxes of T-shirts. IUSA can be better than this. IU deserves an election system that is decided by students, not an unelected committee. IU deserves an election code that allows tickets the freedom to spread their message without fear of losing an election. Most importantly, IU deserves candidates that go beyond consensus on problems and offer bold visions for our future as a university and student body.

Dealing with peeping drones We need to retain our right to privacy in the face of ﬂying, controllable cameras As more and more personal drones circle our atmosphere, we need to be careful about protecting people’s right to privacy. Currently, drone-filmed pornography is entering the scene, and we need to make sure people aren’t being filmed without their consent. If Mother Nature turns you on, get ready to play “Where’s Waldo” because it’s difficult to notice the small blips of human intercourse amidst the aerial shots of sweeping seascapes and mountain ranges. Think “National Geographic” meets “Playboy” magazine. “Every time humanity invents a new technology, enterprising pervs will inevitably figure out a way to bring sex into the equation,” British magazine Dazed’s Zing

Tsjeng said. This is the very concern of Sens. Eric Koch R-Bedford and Aaron Freeman R-Indianapolis, who authored Indiana Senate Bill 299, which is centered on restricting the drone-owning layperson from practicing “remote aerial voyeurism.” As evidenced by the rise of sub-par sorority recruitment videos, the amount of amateur drone enthusiasts in our own Bloomington bubble is quickly growing. This, combined with the fact that many of us are college students with sheer curtains and couches on our porches, makes these new drone crime laws all the more relevant. Drones are able to access higher-up crevices of your home that a common iPhone or wide-lens camera cannot,

and sadly, perverts with nonexistent sex lives looking to pry into the lives of clandestine individuals isn’t exactly a new issue. A New York Times article from 1990 first breached the subject of telescope-owning peeping toms who were far less interested in scoping out Orion’s belt — although a case could be made for Uranus — and more “focused on targets closer to home.” Back then people only had to worry about those living in thier immediate proximity. Now creeps can pilot drones remotely from over three miles away. Currently, Indiana legislation surrounding drone use criminalizes the invasion of a person’s “reasonable expectation of privacy,” which circles back to the Fourth Amendment of the

Constitution. That being said, drone users also have their own First Amendment rights, which allows for photography and videography on public property. Usually, laws need to play catch-up with new technologies, and it seems as though drones are becoming a pressing matter on the agenda’s of policymakers across the country. “If a person’s in a hot tub, they’ve got an expectation of privacy defense, but I can see them from my second level,” said Sen. Mike Young R-Indianapolis at an Indiana Senate panel. He said – “So, whether I can see them for my bedroom window or another window or a (unmanned aerial vehicle) – have I invaded the expectation of privacy?” It’s a tricky question to consider, but seeing the

silhouette of someone from your window and having close-up, high definition footage of someone in their private space should be considered two different things. This is why Indiana officials are looking to add “drone” to the list of devices that can peep into a private area. If committed, this type of crime is considered a Class A misdemeanor and could result in up to 1 year in prison with fines reaching $5,000. Although this type of crime seems quite outlandish to most individuals, having a law surrounding aerial voyeurism wouldn’t hurt. Unfortunately, there will always be bad apples out there that will go to extreme measures to see the color of your panties or find out whether you’re wearing boxers or briefs.

WEEKLY WISDOM

Towing companies run rampant in Bloomington to turn a proﬁt A few weeks ago, I came into closer contact with the towing industry than I ever wanted to when my car was pulled from an empty lot late at night. This led me on an investigation of the shady practices common in this industry. I discovered that the standard “Car missing? Call ... ” signs you see all over town are posted by towing companies contracted with the lot owners. These so-called lot patrols offered by these companies allow the tow trucks to take cars, often late at night when the lots are sitting empty. Personally, I’ve been awoken countless times since moving into

my apartment at 4 a.m. by tow trucks engaging in this practice. If the state will not step in and stop this abuse, then Bloomington should. These contracts used by towing companies to pull cars out of empty lots, when the need for their services is arguably lowest, need oversight. I’m generally against regulation. To paraphrase J.S. Mill, or perhaps Oliver Holmes — there’s some disagreement — fists have a right to be swung until they meet a nose. When contracts do not involve third parties, government shouldn’t step in. However, towing companies do not follow the

standard business model. Their interactions, insofar as they are towing without drivers’ consent, involve taking money from third parties who are not their customers. It is for this reason that towing companies are fundamentally different from other businesses. Those that they create value for are not the ones paying. When that value created is at its lowest — when lots are empty and unused — government should step in. My reading of Indiana’s laws on towing seems to show that cars must sit abandoned for 48 hours, after which they can be tagged and towed 24 hours later.

This is unless the vehicle is a danger or obstruction. Admittedly I am not a lawyer, but if this is truly all the law says, then it was not followed when I was towed. In fact, I have never heard of anyone towed in such a manner. If this is the case, then towing companies are simply not following the laws as written and they should be prosecuted for it. Otherwise, the law should require that tow trucks show an imminent obstruction by the vehicle they are towing. They should have to prove there was a need for services rendered. Unused lots should not be towed from unless the lot

owner requests it. The current system is too open to abuse. The government exists to regulate exactly this sort of behavior because it is inherently nonconsensual. When behaving in a predatory manner, tow companies scour the city under cover of darkness, run off with your property and hold your freedom of movement at ransom. If ever there was a case for government to act, this is it. This abuse needs to end. zaochamb@umail.iu.edu

COZY UP WITH KATIE

Donald Trump needs to stop playing the political blame game During a press conference last week, NBC reporter Peter Alexander stood in front of President Trump and asked him a simple and long awaited question: “Why should Americans trust you?” The question was directed to Trump when he made the claim that he had the biggest Electoral College win since President Ronald Reagan. Alexander corrected Trump by saying that many other presidents since Reagan have surpassed Trump’s 304 electoral votes. He gave the two examples of former President Barack

Obama’s win with 365 electoral votes in the 2008 election and President George H.W. Bush’s win with 426 electoral votes in the 1988 election. Naturally, a stunned Trump defended himself by blaming someone else for giving him this information, “Well, I don’t know, I was given that information. I was given that. We had a very big margin.” I don’t blame Trump for wanting to defend himself. It’s human to defend yourself against your accusers. There comes a point when we have to look at how often we need to

defend yourself and the severity of our words. Trump is not in middle school, and he can’t blame his mistakes on others anymore. Ironically, Trump was spreading false information with his statement. This is something he has repeatedly bashed media and individuals for on his Twitter account. This isn’t the first time that Trump has played the blame game, and I’m sure it won’t be the last. Given last week’s press conference, now more than ever, protesters are not backing down. For most, Presidents’

Day means free parking and maybe even a day off from work to honor those who have served as our president. This year, however, the day had an entirely different purpose for some people. Hundreds gathered in cities across the nation to protest Trump on Presidents’ Day by calling it, “Not My President’s Day”. While the protesters belonged to different groups and gathered for various reasons and causes, there was one message they all wanted spread. Trump is unfit to be our

KLEIN OF A BIG DEAL

JORDAN RIVER FORUM

Hatred doesn’t deserve a platform for speech On Monday, the moment we all should have been waiting for arrived. Simon & Schuster announced it would cancel its publication of Milo Yiannopoulos’ forthcoming book, “Dangerous.” Yiannopoulos’ hateful, “alt-right” beliefs, often attributed to the white nationalist movement, are in fact dangerous. They don’t deserve to be published. Simon & Schuster is not, however, the only organization poised to harm his career. On top of the rescinded book deal, the Conservative Political Action Conference uninvited Yiannopoulos from its events this week. Even Breitbart News is reconsidering its affiliation with Yiannopoulos, who remains a senior editor of the publication as of Monday. According to an anonymous Breitbart journalist interviewed by the New York Times, the far-right media source is considering parting ways with its most irreverent provocateur. Maybe people are realizing that the man whose racist harassment of Leslie Jones got him permanently banned from Twitter might not deserve their support. Perhaps they recognized his extremism misrepresented their ideological standings and, through this extremism’s encouragement of discriminatory behavior, posed a threat to all nonwhite, non-male human beings. Although the above reasons should have been sufficient to undermine Yiannopoulos’ success, his downfall required the resurfacing of a YouTube video from last year in which he condones pedophilia and describes contemporary definitions of consent as “arbitrary and oppressive.” For a while now, I have been wondering when and where we would draw the line for Yiannopoulos. Apparently racism, sexism and hate speech were not enough. We required evidence that he condoned sexual encounters with underage boys and disregarded the prevalence of their prevalence among Catholic

priests. I find it deeply satisfying that Yiannopoulos, a man who once attended a rape culture protest known as a SlutWalk with a sign saying “Rape Culture and Harry Potter: Both Fantasy,” is now facing sweeping disavowal for his gross insensitivity to sexual assault. To those who defended this flagrantly bigoted man in the name of free speech, and to those who may still defend him as a victim of censorship, I have to ask whether or not it’s our responsibility to respond to those who abuse their freedoms. I’m sure that much of the upcoming discussion of Simon & Schuster and CPAC’s decisions will invoke the first amendment. While Yiannopoulos is protected by the Constitution from any attempt by congress to abridge “the freedom of speech, or of the press,” he does not have the right to have his written work published by a private company simply because it expresses his opinion. It is in no way disputable that women and people of color deserve equality, that rape culture is a tragically problematic condition of our lives, or that consent for sexual activity is vital. Much of what Milo Yiannopoulos writes and speaks, then, is not opinion but hatred. It’s abhorrent for him to suggest that feminism is cancer or that he loves the “populist, nationalist, antiglobalist rebellion happening all over the West,” as he declares in Business Insider. Besides these, any point that “Dangerous” proposed about freedom of speech or conservative ideology could just as easily be made by more intelligent and agreeable political representatives. We know this, and we must act on that knowledge. Though I will hardly forgive it for their initial transgression, Simon & Schuster was correct in its decision to revoke a platform for hate speech. mareklei@umail.iu.edu

REYNOLDS WRAP UP

High schools should teach philosophy In a recent interview with Quartz, Bill Gates — one of the world’s richest men — said he believes governments should tax companies that use automated robots for their labor rather than humans. This tax would only stand to stifle innovation. He believes taxing robots will slow the spread of automation and allow the government to fund jobs that are needed and better suited for humans. These jobs are in fields like education and caring for the elderly. This suggestion stems from recent fears that jobs, namely in sectors pertaining to driving, warehouse work and low-level restaurant work, will disappear due to automation. Because a large amount of jobs face the threat of replacement by machine, Gates believes the government needs to step in to assure the United States economy does not suffer. In fact, Gates said he believes the economy could even get stronger by stimulating job growth in these key areas by funding these sectors through a robot tax. While some of Gates’ comments have merit, the solution is not to tax companies for their use of robots. Something will need to be done to ensure economic prosperity for the average American citizen post automation, but stronger alternatives exist. For example, a basic universal income could provide people with money without taxing innovation. One of the key problems to taxing robots is where to draw the line between a robot, software or even technology we view as conventional today. Job automation comes in many forms and has for many years. Software that buys ads based on

online tendencies and other information instead of having people choose where to place ads by hand is just one of the many examples of job-replacement currently happening in ways unbeknownst to most. It seems that unless you tax every position that now uses technology instead of human labor, it would be impossible to define what would need to be taxed and to do it fairly across the board. The issue of companies relocating out of countries with this system into others without a robot tax also exists. If the United States had a robot tax and not Mexico, companies would have a financial incentive to move south of the border. Furthermore, a tax of this nature has the nasty consequence of risking to disincentivize innovation. When asked about this fear, Gates responded by saying “Well, at a time when people are saying that the arrival of that robot is a net loss because of displacement, you ought to be willing to raise the tax level and even slow down the speed of that adoption somewhat to figure out.” It would be foolish to purposefully slow technological progress when auxiliary solutions can produce similar results and solve the same problems without stunting innovation. It is good that Gates is considering answers to the looming threat of job automation instead of waiting until after problem worsens, but to tax robots is not the correct answer. sareynol@umail.iu.edu

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Stand united against acts of division 75 years ago this week, President Roosevelt issued an executive order which designated “exclusion areas” from which “any or all persons” could be removed by the military. My grandmother was forced to withdraw from her college. She was arrested and placed under armed guard at the Santa Anita horse racetrack where she was lucky to not be assigned a horse stable for a three month confinement (many others weren’t so lucky). Later, incarcerated in the barren, desolate Colorado desert, her father quickly died of cancer. Next, my great-uncle and thousands of Japanese Americans volunteered to join the 442nd Battalion, which is often referred to as the most decorated unit in American history due to its high casualty

rates, where they fought and died for their country to both defend the freedom of their families and to prove that they were true Americans. Yet, this true America was holding their families in the desert under armed guard. This story is not unique. In fact, there are over 120,000 stories just like my family’s. But this story doesn’t belong just to them, it is a stereotypically American story. This act of “race prejudice and war hysteria” happened in America, and in America it could happen again. Today, our 45th President openly calls his executive orders a “Muslim ban” and again in America it is becoming a crime to simply be of a certain type of person. Luckily, my grandmother got to live her American dream

with only one caveat. She dedicated her life to helping others, teaching early childhood education at a Chicago community college. The caveat though, is that her dream extended to me and my generation. She dreamed that the heritage of my generation would never deter us from our dreams. I can’t say that is true for minorities, undocumented people, or Muslims in America. After 9/11, my community stood up against racial profiling and said never again. Today on this solemn Day of Remembrance, we stand up again against the “Muslim Ban” and other acts of division. Eric Langowski Hoosier Chapter Japanese American Citizens League.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Trump returns to the campaign trail Less than a month into the first term of his presidency, Politico reports, Donald Trump appears to be back on the campaign trail, heading for Melbourne, Florida, and one of his signature airport hangar rallies. The Washington Post’s Philip Bump speculates that Trump’s outing is motivated by the simple need for an ego boost. It’s been a rough month. Heck, it’s been a rough week, marked by the resignation of National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, and the withdrawal of Labor Secretary nominee Andy Puzder, under shadows of different kinds. Rallies feel like ... victory. Trump knows how to pack a house and pump it full of feel good, taking away even more energy from his performances than he brings to them. I’ve got an alternative theory: Donald Trump is the consummate politician. Granted, he ran for president as “not a politician.” But there’s less to that image than meets the eye. Beneath the

hype, hard reality: Donald Trump whipped 16 rivals for the Republican Party’s presidential nomination, then went on to beat an “inevitable” former First Lady, former U.S. Senator, and former U.S. Secretary of State in the general election. Some “non-politician.” One of the losing candidate’s long-time confidants, Sidney Blumenthal, identified an interesting modern political phenomenon in a 1980 book, “The Permanent Campaign.” Blumenthal’s thesis was that the political center of gravity has moved over time away from the smoke-filled party/patronage rooms — stable long-term concerns — and toward a constant short-term concern with more mercurial factors like poll numbers and public perception. Trump is well known for his hyper-sensitivity to being perceived as anything less than top dog in every respect. He decries negative press and polling as biased and can’t wait to tout

his latest triumph, even if he has to invent it himself (see, for example “inaugural attendance figures”). It’s time to stop thinking of that as a character defect and recognize it for what it is. Donald J. Trump represents the pinnacle of the “permanent campaign” ethos. He’s all politician, all the time. Ironically, Trump’s authoritarian stylings may end up producing results closely tracking direct democracy — rule of the majority, or at least the plurality, albeit on a drunken moment-to-moment lurch. If so, I predict that his presidency, whether one term or two in duration, will validate H.L. Mencken’s conception of democracy as “the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.” Thomas L. Knapp Director, William Lloyd Garrison Center

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Wayne Journal Gazette. Paul Tash, 1975 Tash said he looked at the IDS as a way for a large public university to become small and to allow a common experience in a structured way. “There are a lot of things in life I can trace back to Indiana University,” Tash said. At IU, Tash received the Poynter scholarship, which jumpstarted his career at the then St. Petersburg Times. He referred to the IDS he knew as a pretty newsy paper that didn’t shy away from controversy. He recalled investigating University policy at the time related to attracting more minorities that resulted in people picketing outside the newsroom the next day. Regarding the future of the IDS and journalism in general, he said he hopes to still hear a vibrant and noisy voice. The same advice he would give to any new reporter is to actually report. “Get your shoes dirty,” Tash said. “That means get out of the office and go see people. There’s no substitute for that.” He said with that skill, the best story has the potential to fall into place. “I hope that the experience at IU, and at the Daily Student, is as rich for the class of 2017 and beyond as it was for the class of 1976,” Tash said. Tash is the chair and CEO of Times Publishing Company.

He said the IDS is a good resource for finding out what is happening on campus.

Andy Hall, 1981 For Hall, his work at the IDS was the defining experience of his time at IU. Hall served on staff for nine semesters and referred to his time as a priceless supplement to his work in a classroom. “It was an amazing opportunity to work alongside young, world-class journalists, building our skills and learning to produce high quality stories under real world conditions,” Hall said. Many of the students Hall worked with went on to become award-winning journalists. That group included Hall’s wife Dee, who served as an editor on Hall’s staff. Hall said his most fond IDS memory was the energy that exuded within the newsroom. “The sense that the newspaper was bigger and smarter than any one of us and that working we were capable of incredible work under sometimes difficult conditions,” Hall said. During his time on staff, Hall said he most clearly remembers the evening following President Reagan’s possible assassination and having to rearrange the page one design very late at night to coincide with the NCAA championship. “I learned a lot of lessons in making those decisions,” Hall said. Hall said he looks forward to attending the 200th birthday celebration in 50 years to see the progression of journalism over time. “I think that journalists at the IU Media School 50 He said he finds stories in the IDS about IU basketball that he could not find anywhere else. David Kuhn, 65, said he doesn’t read the IDS as much as he used to. He lived downtown for 25 years, but now that he lives in the south side of town, the newspaper is less accessible. “It’s good if you’re interested in what’s going on there, and there’s a lot going on there that can include people other than just the students,” he said. “You can have sports and opera and stuff like that.”

years from now will continue learning the skills to hold the powerful accountable and tell stories in engaging and innovative ways and will continue to be leaders in journalism for many decades to come,” he said. Hall is the cofounder and executive director of the Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism. Amy Wimmer Schwarb, 1995 Wimmer Schwarb started working at a newspaper at the age of 12 and said she never left a newsroom. After applying four separate times to work at the IDS, she walked into the newsroom to meet the city editor, who needed a local meeting covered that evening. Wimmer Schwarb jumped at the chance of writing her first story. “The things I really remember are the stories,” Wimmer Schwarb said. During one of the semesters Wimmer Schwarb was on staff, the Oklahoma City bombings occurred, and the IDS managed to find IU doctoral students doing research near the bombings. During her time as editor she said her experience was less about journalism and news judgement and more about people. “We had a lot of personal strife that folks were dealing with, and I was their 21-yearold boss that didn’t have a clue,” Wimmer Schwarb said. “Regardless, those memories shaped me to be better every day.” Looking toward the future

Charlie Scudder, 2012 Scudder graduated from IU in 2014 and said his experience at the IDS shaped his college career immeasurably. “It kind of sucks up your life, but in a good way,” Scudder said. “Your work ethic is really shaped by your experience.” Scudder said the skills he gained while actually doing versus learning were much more beneficial in his professional development. During the semester Scudder served as editor, former President Obama was reelected into office. He said he could feel a sense of camaraderie in the room as they officially called the election. “It just shows how important that place, that institution is, the reason it’s been here for 150 years,” Scudder said. “It provides something really important to young journalists.” Scudder recalled the many been great about coming to the shop on gallery walk night and interviewing the artist and talking to them about their work, which I think is amazing,” Halliday said. “It always helps the artist to know that our local community is taking stock of what they are doing.

nights spent sitting on the porch of his house while playing guitar and discussing with his friends the different stories they were working on. For him, it was really important to have fun with stories. “If it’s ever stressing you out, it should be making your product better but not stressing you out so much that you can’t work,” Scudder said. Scudder discussed the double-edged sword of what journalism is undergoing right now during this political climate. The one side is that many people don’t understand what we as journalists do, exactly, Scudder said. The working in the world of art is a start. Colman said he would love to see more attendance from younger community members at The Venue’s events throughout the year. “If the coverage included more of a call to action to attend the events, it might move more students to be willing to travel off campus to more art events,” he said. In the future, Halliday said she hopes the newspaper covers art venues even before they have planned programming. To her, coverage before an event or

other is the internal shrinking of newsrooms as ad revenue continues to switch platforms. “I want to prove that my work is worth it,” Scudder said. “You should spend that 99 cents a month to pay for my story because my story is worth it.” The future of the IDS is something that Scudder said he hopes still allows the learning lab to educate the next generation of reporters. Scudder is currently a features reporter at the Dallas Morning News and serves on the IU Student Media Alumni Board. even just highlighting the spaces when nothing is happening are just as important as attending on big nights. “It would be really great if the IDS could somehow partner with some local arts organizations to really promote getting college students involved in the downtown economy and getting them past Kirkwood and onto the square — making them aware of what’s available to them,” Halliday said. “Primarily to focus on arts everyday, instead of being so events-focused.”

Plight of the outcast “Peter Grimes” tells the story of man cast aside by his town after tragedy By Alison Graham akgraham@indiana.edu | @alisonkgraham

Peter Grimes has been accused of murder. His apprentice, a poor boy from a small, English fishing village, died while working with the fisherman at sea. But Grimes insists from the beginning he is innocent. The production starts in a courtroom where Grimes is immediately on the witness stand in front of the whole town, but they have already convicted him. The Jacobs School of Music will open “Peter Grimes,” at 7:30 p.m. Friday, but IU isn’t the only one experiencing the story of this opera, or other story lines like it. The production’s stage director, Chris Alexander, said this opera is being performed all over Europe and the United States. “It’s because of what’s going on now, not only in the States, but very strongly in Europe, with immigrants and sort of this outcast business of being not welcome,” he said. “It’s much in our time and this opera brings it very strongly.” The title character, Grimes, is ostracized from the beginning of the story. He’s a strange and lonely character, but it becomes worse after his apprentice dies. Although the town coroner rules his apprentice’s death an accident, the town refuses to give him another apprentice. The townspeople ignore Grimes, refuse to help him and begin singing “talk of the devil and there he is” when he enters the local pub. Grimes is frustrated the town won’t give him a second chance. Eventually, he’s driven mad by the constant rejection and animosity he feels from his community. The opera’s story has many similarities to original composer Benjamin Britten’s own life. Alexander said Britten was an outcast in multiple ways. First, he was a pacifist and moved from England to the U.S. in hopes of avoiding World War II. Like Grimes, Britten was from a small fishing village and they hated him for abandoning his country at such a desperate time. Secondly, when Britten moved to the U.S., he did so with his partner, Peter Pears. Pears and Britten came under scrutiny for their relationship from the community. People contacted police and insisted they uphold the Victorian laws punishing homosexuality, which were still in effect at

the time. Britten worked on the opera with Pears and wrote the music and Grimes’ character specifically for him to perform. “It was very much their baby, this thing,” Alexander said. “It has a lot to do with their own story of being outcasts in their society.” Christina Nicastro, who plays the village’s schoolteacher and one of Grimes’s only friends, said the opera is supposed to make the audience think. “My hope is that every audience member leaves feeling a little unsettled,” she said. “It’s not a happy opera. It makes your worldview change.” Nicastro said everyone could relate to the opera’s theme of being an outsider because at one point or another, everyone’s been one. People can also relate to her character, who is the only one who stands by Grimes when the rest of the village turns against him. Grimes wants to marry her, and Nicastro said it could be seen as a way for him to fit in the community again. She’s his only connection with normalcy. This makes Nicastro’s character a layered one, which can be difficult to portray on a stage with more than 50 people on it at once. The chorus of “Peter Grimes” is one of the largest with 55 members, not including the 12 principal characters. “The chorus itself is almost its own character,” Nicastro said. “There’s something that’s always happening. If you went to two performances, you’d be catching differences all the time.” This is Nicastro’s first major role at IU and the biggest chorus she’s ever worked with in an opera. “I’m nervous,” she said. “But I’ve embraced the nervousness and I use it in my character and my singing.” Alexander said it’s important for the audience to read into the characters deeply because each one is nuanced. The opera is in English and will have supertitles to help the audience understand the full text. “I want to make an emotional and intellectual impression on the audience,” Alexander said. “It has a lot to do with us. It’s a huge problem in any human society. There’s always these outsiders who are not outsiders because they deserve to be, but because they were made as such.”

Local puzzlemaker confronts fear of sharks By Anna Boone anmboone@indiana.edu @annamarieboone

Hand cutting wooden shark puzzle pieces eventually lead Marc Tschida to a face-to-face encounter with a live Great White. For Tschida, it all began when he watched “Jaws” at too young of an age. The 1975 ocean thriller lead Tschida to a fear of sharks and open bodies of water — from the ocean to Lake Monroe. This fear eventually turned into fascination. During his talk at The Venue Fine Arts & Gifts on Tuesday evening, “Face To Face With the Great White Shark,” the designer of hand-cut jigsaw puzzles discussed his business, Press Puzzles, and it allowed him to pursue his lifelong dream of cage diving with sharks. Tschida isn’t originally from Bloomington, but he said it’s the place he has called home on-and-off for about 30 years. He has been involved in the arts scene in town for years, working with Lotus World Music and Arts Festival and running nightclubs. Tschida worked 10 years with Cardinal Stage Company, serving as managing director or production manager, until he left his job last November. “For a guy who has no background in the arts, there are some amazing organizations up here and I am just thrilled to have been able to carve out a living and to now jump into my own business,” Tschida said. Puzzle making was not an original part of his plan. “I didn’t wake up one morning and say, ‘I’m gonna start making jigsaw puzzles,’” Tschida said. “Over a couple of years,

“It really was just a pipe dream for many, many years. Then, I decided to go ahead and try to make a shark-themed jigsaw puzzle and to sell a shark-themed jigsaw puzzle.” Marc Tschida, Puzzlemaker

since I’ve lived in Bloomington so long, I really just ran out of unique gifts that spoke of the Bloomington community.” To solve this problem, he started creating custom, Bloomington-themed puzzles. Each puzzle takes seven to 10 days to process. There are no templates or patterns — each puzzle is hand cut with a scroll saw by Tschida. This means puzzles with the same image on them still have different patterns and may have varying piece counts. Tschida saw an opportunity to use his business to help him pursue his goal of cage diving. “It really was just a pipe dream for many, many years,” Tschida said. “Then, I decided to go ahead and try to make a shark-themed jigsaw puzzle and to sell a shark-themed jigsaw puzzle that specifically would be going to pay for this particular trip.” The puzzle he sold had an image of the 1778 oil painting “Watson and the Shark” because Tschida thought it evokes the same feeling in people he said he felt when he watched “Jaws.” In addition, each puzzle Tschida creates has a signature piece. In many of his, it is a piece shaped like the state of

Indiana. For the sharkthemed puzzles, there were multiple signature pieces shaped like sharks. On Aug. 9, 2015, he rented the Buskirk-Chumley Theater, got the film rights and showed the movie “Jaws” to kick off his campaign.

A little more than a year later, and after selling about 30 shark puzzles, Tschida was traveling to Guadalupe Island off the coast of Mexico. Tschida spent two days of total travel time on the boat for three days of

diving opportunity to be inches from Great White sharks in their natural habitat. He said the grace and beauty of the sharks was amazing. The sharks, which ranged from 10 to 18 feet in length, helped to ease his fears as well.

“They’re something really dangerous that need to be respected, but they aren’t waiting for me specifically to put my foot in the ocean,” Tschida said. The first night on the boat together in Mexico the divers all watched “Jaws.”

KATIE’S BOOK CORNER

Exploration into familiar author proves favorable choice Although reading a wide variety of books is beneficial, sometimes everyone just wants to pick up a book by a familiar author. That’s what I did this week when I read Liane Moriarty’s “Big Little Lies.” The author wasn’t the only reason I chose this book. An HBO mini-series based on the book premiered Sunday, and the advertising made me curious enough to not only tune in to the first episode, but also to pick up this book and see how it would compare. Since only one episode has aired so far, I’ll have to wait

and see how the series differs from the novel. Until then, I’ll stick to the contents of the book. The novel centers around the lives of three uppermiddle class women whose children have just started kindergarten. There’s the stiletto-wearing Madeline Mackenzie who, despite her love for gossip and conflict, has a compassionate nature. Compassionate enough to take Jane Chapman, who is new to town, under her wing. Jane is desperate for a new start for her and her son, and

being both a single mother and younger than the other kindergarten parents, simply wants her son to fit in. After befriending Madeline on the day of kindergarten orientation, she finds herself also becoming friends with Celeste Wright, an astonishingly beautiful woman harboring a dark secret about her seemingly perfect marriage. Throughout the novel, the other parents of the kindergarten class act as witnesses to a murder, which occurs during the school’s annual Trivia Night. The announcement of the murder so early in

the story makes the audience want to keep reading not only to learn what happened, but to see which character ultimately meets their end. The testimony the parents provide is hardly serious, as they get many facts wrong and seem more concerned with their own lives, but it keeps the tone of the story light. What Moriarty does well throughout the novel is mix in the darker subject matter with the mundane issues of parenting. As the parents of kindergarten students, the women face catty comments,

bullying accusations and doubt in their own parenting skills that are menial in the grand scheme of things. Celeste is not the only character keeping a dark secret, and as the novel counts down to Trivia Night the audience might be able to piece together some of the plot points. However, in my opinion, the climax of the novel does not disappoint. Although Moriarty is able to generally keep things light, there are times when the more sinister aspects of the story take root. The balance between light

and dark was what made the book so enjoyable. It was an easy read, and the scenes shifted between the main characters effortlessly. The book explores the idea of women who keep secrets in order to survive a world dominated by men. While this book might not appeal to everyone, it was definitely worth repeating an author for this week’s column. kchrisco@iu.edu @katiechrisco

IU loses to Iowa in overtime on the road By Zain Pyarali zpyarali@indiana.edu | @zainpyarali

IOWA CITY — Junior guard Robert Johnson stood at half-court of Carver Hawkeye Arena with 38 seconds left in overtime with his jersey over his face and both of his hands behind his head. He had just become the third Hoosier to foul out in the game. The Hoosiers had once held a 13-point lead in the early stages of the first half but were hampered by turnovers and fouls in the late stages of the game. After leading up until the 2:10 mark in the second half, the Hoosiers forced overtime. Iowa took advantage of the free throw line in the late stages of the game and IU lost its fifth straight game 96-90

in overtime moving to 15-13 overall and 5-10 in the Big Ten. “It’s disheartening as hard as we play, we make our mistakes as do the other teams,” IU Coach Tom Crean said. “They’re working their tail off preparation-wise, practicewise, we were fresh and energetic.” IU had every reason to win Tuesday night on the road at Iowa. Losers of four straight games, the Hoosiers couldn’t have started the game much better. IU started the game on a 9-0 run which forced Iowa Coach Fran McCaffery to pull his entire starting five 2:10 into the game. The Hoosiers knocked down seven shots in the first five minutes and found themselves up 17-4 in the early

stages. The Hawkeyes quickly corrected themselves on defense, switching to a 2-3 zone they took the Hoosiers out of rhythm completely on offense. IU made just six shots the rest of the half and saw its lead quickly diminish to one before the break. “We played a lot of zone because at the beginning of the game, we were man and they took it right to us,” McCaffery said. In the second half, IU started strong and every time Iowa would make a basket and come close to overtaking the lead, the Hoosiers would answer. The downfall for IU on Tuesday, in addition to 22 turnovers, a conference season high, was the foul trouble.

Within the first five minutes of the second half the Hoosiers had six team fouls, which meant Iowa would be in the bonus for the rest of the game. Many of the fouls in the game left IU players and coaches beside themselves, but the officials were calling an even game both ways. With the multitude of touch fouls called on the Hoosiers, Johnson said it’s tough to figure out what is going to be a foul and what isn’t. The Hawkeyes came close to retaking the lead many times throughout the night and with six minutes left, a 3-pointer from Iowa guard Jordan Bohannon tied the game up at 55. However, IU was able to respond. Johnson and fellow junior guard James Blackmon Jr. hit back-to-back

3-pointers to put the Hoosiers back up six. Down the stretch Iowa executed and with 2:13 to play took its first lead of the game. With IU down two with 30 seconds left, Johnson poked the ball away and junior guard Josh Newkirk picked it up and was fouled on the fast break. Newkirk sunk both free throws to tie the game at 75. IU was forced to play defense on the final possession of the game. Iowa freshman forward Tyler Cook got a solid look in the paint but sophomore forward Thomas Bryant shut him down at the buzzer and the teams headed to overtime. The difference in the second half and overtime was free throws. Iowa got to the line and IU did not. The Hoo-

siers had four players with four fouls at the end of regulation and by the end of overtime, four Hoosiers fouled out. Iowa made 39-47 free throws Tuesday night and senior guard Peter Jok went 22-23 from the stripe notching 35 points. Iowa got to the line 14 times in overtime, Jok accounted for 10 of those free throws. Turnovers and fouls plagued the Hoosiers down the stretch and after they had commanded the lead for the majority of the game, they could not close it out down the stretch once again. “Basketball is a game of runs and we made them run early,” Johnson said. “Any good team is going to respond and that’s what they did.”

GOTT TAKES

The Hoosiers lost, and that’s a good thing

Junior guard Josh Newkirk fights for control in front of the Michigan net Sunday, Feb. 12.

This is the best possible thing that can happen to IU basketball. Another game on national television, another disconcerting appearance. Immediately running out to a 9-0 lead, there was not a doubt in my mind and the Hoosier faithful that IU would allow Iowa to fight its way back into the contest. An implosion of this sort to end the season — loss after loss, embarrassment after embarrassment — forces the Hoosier brass to look at the squad and really contemplate the future. A better team would go for the jugular early in this type of must-win environment. A better team would call a timeout during a small Hawkeye run to kill the momentum. A better team would beat Iowa outright and not have to enter overtime

against a definitively lesstalented team. Tom Crean and company are not a better team than almost anyone in the conference. The Big Ten is down overall this year. Yet, the Hoosiers can be found right near the cellar days away from March. This team no longer cares. Sophomore center Thomas Bryant and junior forward James Blackmon Jr. may scream and pump their fists when things are going their way, but when the obstacles get a bit too challenging, the team gives up almost immediately. Missed defensive rotations, an inability to even pretend to box out and then an immediate argument over which player screwed up doesn’t just happen every other game, it happens nearly every half.

Iowa’s no world-beater. They’re a subpar Big Ten team with nowhere near the amount of ability as its opposition on a near-nightly basis. Senior Peter Jok took the Hoosiers to the woodshed repeatedly with more than 30 points and Iowa — a team scoring less than 80 points a game — put up more than 90. As the overtime period came to its fitful conclusion, ESPN color commentator Dan Dakich said it was the players’ fault for not showing up, seemingly defending Crean. This is absurd. With the campaign almost over, the team is clueless. Yelling step-by-step plays from the sideline and holding up signs explaining simple basketball maneuvers does not just deserve reprimanding of the players. It’s an organizational issue from top to bottom. As painful as it is, the

Greg Gottfried is a senior in journalism.

Hoosiers need this. They need to continue to fail reprehensively, or else we’ll see this again next year. And the year after that. And the foreseeable future. Trailing by nine with 21.7 seconds left, Crean called a timeout even though it seemed the only play left to call was the team meal after the loss. In the same vein of this season, Crean had to extend the pain. The Big Red fanatics had to wait for the next 20 seconds in which their team would eventually fall short once again. An institutional shift is on the horizon, or more timeouts preceding more pain is all we have to look forward to. gigottfr@indiana.edu @gott31

Sophomore Madison Appel hugs partner, senior, Kim Schmider after winning a close match in doubles against Notre Dame. The pair was ranked No. 19 in the nation Tuesday.

IU doubles pair Schmider, Appel ranked nationally From IDS reports

The new Intercollegiate Tennis Association rankings released Tuesday put doubles pair IU senior Kim Schmider and sophomore Madison Appel in the top 60 for the first time this season, coming in at No. 19 after they beat two ranked opponents this past weekend. Schmider and Appel began the weekend against the No. 32-ranked doubles team of Brooke Broda and Monica Robinson from Notre Dame and defeated them 6-3. The following day,

Aldila Sutjiadi and Mami Adachi from No. 25 Kentucky came to Bloomington as the top-ranked doubles pair in the country, and the Hoosier duo defeated them 6-4. With the loss to Schmider and Appel, Sutjiadi and Adachi dropped to No. 5 in the national doubles rankings. The sophomore-senior combo of Schmider and Appel has an overall record of 21-2 this season, including a 5-0 record in dual meet action. This is the first year these two have teamed up in

their careers. The duo has had winning streaks of seven and eight games this season, and is currently riding another six-game win streak with two matches on tap this weekend. The Hoosiers have a pair of home matches this weekend against DePaul and IUPUI, and Schmider and Appel have the chance to pick up two more wins and continue their climb up the rankings.

MEN’S TENNIS

Team ranked No. 45, players also earn national rankings From IDS reports

The Intercollegiate Tennis Association placed IU men’s tennis in the 45th spot in the Division I Collegiate Men’s National Team Rankings on Tuesday after a successful start of the 2017 season with a 7-4 record. IU has not won a match since Feb. 8, when it was vic-

said. “We’ve worked really hard and our preparation has been outstanding. We just need to go into the meet with that clearly in our heads.” If Finnerty, Lanza and Pieroni perform as well as they are capable in the sprint events, IU will likely find itself in position to win a Big Ten title. However, IU’s Big Ten title quest is incomplete without some help from the divers. The Hoosier divers have been arguably the country’s best team top to bottom this season. With a squad made up of senior Josh Arndt, juniors Cody Coldren and Michael Hixon, and sophomore James Connor, the divers

torious against Louisville at the IU Tennis Center, but still managed to sneak into the rankings for the first time this season. The Hoosiers also received individual and doubles distinctions, as the junior doubles team of Raheel Manji and Keivon Tabrizi was ranked No. 50 in the NCAA. Manji and Tabrizi are 6-3 this season

seem poised for something special. “We’re all where we need to be right now and we’re happy it’s here,” Hixon said. “Time to go.” Connor and Hixon will be the likely candidates to compete for Big Ten Championships out of the foursome. Hixon has been named Big Ten Diver of the week three times this season and has swept the 1-meter and 3-meter springboard events three times. “Right now it’s just stay healthy and get your minds ready,” Hixon said. “You know we’ve already done the work so we’re ready to go.” Connor, along with Purdue standout sophomore Steele Johnson, will push Hixon for first place nods.

After finishing 15th at the Rio Olympics in the 10-meter platform dive, the Australian could be a major player on the platform this week. Connor swept the 1- and 3-meter dives against Cincinnati and won the 3-meter against Tennessee, Kentucky, Florida and Texas, so look for him to hang around the top of the leaderboard no matter the event. “At the Big Ten Championships it’s all about your depth,” Looze said. “So I would like to see four divers do a great job and 22 swimmers. And if everyone does their job then we’ll take whatever that result is.” Competition will begin 6 p.m. Wednesday at the McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion in Columbus, Ohio.
