Similar to how some in the United States saw former President Barack Obama’s election as a symbol of progress for black Americans, the election of Thomas Atkins in 1960 as the first black student body president in the Big Ten Conference was a landmark event.

Also similar to Obama’s election, Atkins’ presidency was not the end of civil rights debate on campus, as protests in the late 1960s demonstrated how black students still felt disenfranchised by IU’s administration.

In the wake of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination in 1968, protests on campus escalated and culminated in a sit-in the at the racetrack a day before the Little 500 bike race was to begin. Protesters, led by graduate student Clarence “Rollo” Turner, camped out at the stadium and demanded campus greek organizations amend their charters to include black students.

At the time, IU President Elvis Stahr asked the greek organizations to comply. All but one organization — the exception was Phi Delta Theta — did so. The national office would not submit to requests for integration. The decision not to allow the organization to race was one made by the administration, according to a statement from Stahr.

The event is documented in Mary Ann Wynkoop’s book “Dissent in the Heartland: The Sixties at Indiana University.”

“The point has been made here that black students can come together as a group of black people, stay together as a group of black people, can make a point as black people,” Turner said after Stahr agreed to meet his demands, according to the book. “It is time to go home.”

While this happened on campus, Atkins was serving as a Boston City Council member.

Atkins would later be credited with helping to prevent riots in the wake of King’s assassination.

Nurse Jackie Crane carries a box filled with contaminated sharp containers from the back of the SUV that Crane and Brittany Combs use for the needle exchange program.

Sharp containers are plastic boxes used to dispose of contaminated needles and are given out as part of the program. The containers are collected each week from participants and brought back to the Scott County Health Department in Scottsburg, Indiana, to be disposed of.

Close to home Nurse Jackie Crane sees addiction every day in her work at the Scott County Health Department. She never thought she’d see it happen to her own son.

By Liz Meuser emeuser@umail.iu.edu | @Liz_Meuser

SEYMOUR, IND. — Jackie Crane was at home with her grandson that Sunday night last January when she got the call.

“Jackie, Taylor is in the bathroom. He’s not breathing.”

“What do you mean he’s not breathing?”

It was Sue, her son’s grandmother.

“He’s not moving.”

Jackie, a public health nurse at the Scott County Health Department, thought back to the first time her youngest son, Taylor Newkirk, had been found using heroin. It had been after a car accident, and he had gotten clean, or so she thought. This time it was different.

“I’ll be right over.”

Her kids had asked her to keep a naloxone kit, an opioid overdose antidote, in case of an emergency after they’d found out their cousin and some of their friends had been using heroin. She never thought the first time she’d have to use it would be on her own child.

She ran to her dresser and rummaged around in her underwear drawer until she found the kit.

In the car, Jackie called a coworker.

“How do I do this again?”

“Where does it go?”

“What am I supposed to do?”

When she arrived, she found Taylor on the floor and surrounded by shattered glass and blood with cuts on his arm and thigh.

Maybe he passed out, she thought. Had he been trying to hurt himself? She had never seen someone overdose before.

His face was white and soaked with sweat. His lips and fingernails were blue. A slobbery froth bubbled at his mouth. He was barely breathing.

She pulled down his pants and jabbed the needle straight into his upper thigh. She waited, listening to his low guttural grunts.

She waited for some movement, some sign.

It’s supposed to work right away, she thought. Why isn’t it working?

She’d only brought the one dose. It wasn’t enough. She didn’t know how long he had left. She fumbled for her phone and called 9-1-1. * * * During the last few years, Jackie, 54, has watched heroin become visible in the daily fabric of Seymour, Indiana — hearing about people overdosing, the faces trembling with pain.

When Taylor, 26, overdosed in January, it became personal.

At work in Scott County, she had seen

drug use — severe poverty, drug abuse through generations of families, the outbreak of HIV. She never thought it could happen in her hometown. Not Seymour.

Seymour was home. It was the Crossroads of America, the birthplace of John Cougar Mellencamp, small-town living.

People had jobs and nice houses, compared to the severe poverty in Scott County. She assumed heroin was a something that only happened in big cities. How did people even get it? Simple — it was easy, and it was cheap.

She knows better now than to think it couldn’t happen in Seymour.

On Aug. 23, eight months after Taylor’s overdose, more than ten people in Jackson County, where Seymour is, and nearby Jennings county overdosed in a span of a few hours. They’d used a bad batch of heroin laced with the highly addictive painkiller fentanyl. There was one death.

That happened on a Tuesday. On Wednesday, Jackie was already making plans for a way to help.

She organized a naloxone education and distribution event with nonprofit Overdose Lifeline on Aug. 29 in Harmony Park.

About one hundred people showed up. They were mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, teachers, nurses, lawyers and SEE CLOSE, PAGE 5

Senior wrestler overcomes adversity, finds home

By Ryan Schuld rschuld@indiana.edu | @rschuld

In five years at Princeton, 149-pound graduate senior Chris Perez picked up 41 wins and made an NCAA Championship appearance his junior season.

With all this success came adversity. Three major knee injuries during those years caused the current Hoosier to miss more than two seasons of wrestling in total.

All of these injuries taught Perez, 23 years old, how to find ways to win, despite not always being fully healthy.

“You have to be used to not being 100 percent,” Perez said. “You have to find ways to win. When you are out there, and your knee shifts, and you are buckling up, it’s really easy to quit on yourself and

make excuses.”

Perez said his maturity has grown through these injuries and helped him learn to pick his shots carefully, understand he is not 100 percent and find a way to make it work because he won’t get any matches back.

That gained maturity is something he brought with him at IU while pursuing an MBA from the Kelley School of Business.

IU Coach Duane Goldman knows Perez’s Princeton coach well, which made Perez’s desire to get an MBA and continue wrestling fit perfectly.

Goldman said Joe Dubuque, the Princeton coach, was a twotime national champion for him at IU, which helped Goldman find Perez and Perez find IU to continue his academic and athletic

When Perez got to Bloomington, he was amazed at the difference in the size of the schools.

“The biggest difference is IU is nine times the size of it,” Perez said. “I graduated with 1,400 or 1,500 kids, and there are 45,000 kids here. That’s the biggest difference in just walking around.

By the time it was my senior year I knew everybody, and now I am like just a snowflake.”

Perez might be a snowflake among the rest of the students at IU, but in the wrestling room, he brings the maturity and perspective needed to become a leader on the Hoosier wrestling team.

Professor concerned about rising nationalism

By Larmie Sanyon lsanyon@indiana.edu @DaGreatestSanyn

After 10 years, two children and adopting American culture, Hussein Banai became a naturalized citizen this January. The following week President Trump’s executive order went into effect, which banned Iranians and green card holders from Iran and six other countries from entering to the United States.

Banai is an assistant professor of international studies and specializes in the Middle East with focuses on diplomatic and democratic theory.

He said he has studied nationalism and understands the appeals of establishing a national identity, but he warns against it.

He was born in Iran, moved to Canada when he was 15 and through his citizenship naturalized from Canada. He said the lack of clarity and contempt behind the executive order left him with a lot of concerns about the rise of nationalism in part because of his Iranian heritage. Nationalism refers to the patriotic sense of identity that creates a sense of duty or obligation to one’s nation. Banai said he was nervous because nationalism is usually accompanied by a sense of cultural or social superiority.

“I think it’s the most incoherent idea,” Banai said. “I think it’s the most dangerous idea in the world because it creates the illusion of belonging to a coherent cultural or historical entity, and that’s not the case.”

What Banai described is exclusive nationalism, said professor Padriac Kenney.

Kenney, a professor of history and international studies, said there is also inclusive nationalism. He said celebrations like the Fourth of July and the Super Bowl are examples of inclusive nationalism. He said it can be positive because it’s welcoming to others if they can recognize and accept the national identity.

However, Kenney said he cannot see the importance of exclusive nationalism.

“If you say Syrians aren’t

Hussein Banai became a naturalized citizen this January but was originally born in Iran and then later lived in Canada. He sees President Trump’s executive order banning travel to his former home of Iran as a sign of a dangerous and rising nationalism.

welcome to come, then it’s easy to say Syrians already here shouldn’t be here,” he said. “It’s a cowardly perspective.”

Banai said this perspective creates a sense of community that makes it difficult to include others who don’t fit the mold. He said those who have grown up and lived in the same place their whole life have an easier time creating a solid sense of identity.

“This is where elites, and I call them entrepreneurs of identity politics, come into view,” Banai said. “People who start to package political ideas of political programs in ways that communicate that your solid identity is in danger or your sense of self is being undermined by these other people who don’t look like you, sound like you and don’t come from places that are familiar to you.”

For Banai, this is where

nationalism usually crosses the line and becomes dangerous. While referring to the travel or immigrant ban, Banai pointed to himself as an example of the failures of nationalism and identity politics.

“Someone like me, who’s of Iranian origin, who has lived in Canada and the United States and the United Kingdom, gone to school in Scotland and Switzerland — I couldn’t begin to tell you what my Iranian identity meant to me compared to these other things,” he said.

Banai said his Iranian and Muslim heritages were unjustly used to define and marginalize him when he is not religious and does not identify as solely Iranian.

“I don’t consider myself a Muslim,” Banai said. “I don’t consider myself a Christian, I don’t consider myself a Jew. I don’t have a religious identity.

That’s never been prominent

in my life, ever.”

He said a blanket was blindly and unjustly placed over a diverse group in the name of nationalism, and this is happening because some people want to return to a particular identity or time.

“There are a lot of signals being sent out there that there was once a solid American identity and that we should return to it,” Banai said. “It has become sullied, it has become to fractious and too colored over the course of the last 50 years or so. Exactly the same time as the civil rights movement, no coincident there.”

Banai said he clings to an original and single American identity are utter nonsense.

He would understand if Americans were wishing for a better identity, he said, but they are not. It flies in the face of history and reason to cling to the past because the U.S. was never a nation of one firm

identity he said.

“It has always been multiple and colorful and cacophonous,” he said. “We’ve had social conflict and civil strife like the Civil War era and it was precisely because people wanted to uphold one set of solid identity over another.”

He said history cannot be ignored.

“The legacy of nationalism is in the graveyards of Europe,” Banai said. “Every mass grave has been dug and filled in the name of a particular identity, oftentimes a national identity.”

To avoid the traps of nationalism people have to educate, he said. There are many ways to avoid the fuzzy comforts of community, but we must always keep thinking of these methods and more ways, Banai said.

“First of all one has to strive as much as possible to expose oneself to a

multiplicity of ways of life to reach out to people,” he said.

“That goes without saying.”

The next thing to keep in mind is political elites want to perpetuate nationalism for their own selfish interests, he said.

The cliches are all there, he said. Everyone reads what they want to read to confirm what they already believe.

However, he said reality has a way of seeping through the bubbles we create.

“Those bubbles that existed in the early 20th century resulted in the major catastrophic war,” he said. “And people said ‘OK, I don’t have to listen to this bubble anymore’ or it was wrong for me to be cloistered like that.”

If we don’t learn the dangers of nationalism, new bubbles based along nationalism could be created, he said.

“I hope it doesn’t result in wars,” Banai said.

Media experts talk about fake news Study funded to examine failure’s place in learning

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

While some IU fans gathered in Assembly Hall to watch the rivalry game between the Hoosiers and the Purdue Boilermakers, others circled around tables in Franklin Hall to discuss the rivalry between facts and fake news.

A panel, “Fake or Fact?

The Search for Real News in 2017,” took place Thursday night in President’s Hall as a part of the Hot Topics Series.

The series, by the Office of the Provost, is a yearlong program creating conversations about culture and community.

“Upholding the value of news, the authenticity of news, the importance of facts — this is absolutely fundamental, I believe, to our society,” said Roger Cohen, IU Poynter Center Chair and New York Times columnist.

This panel was moderated by Tom French and Elaine Monaghan, professors of practice in the Media School.

Panelists were Cohen; Caryn Baird, a contributor to Politifact and senior news researcher at the Tampa Bay Times ; and Filippo Menczer, a professor in the School of Informatics and Computing who helped develop the web-based project Hoaxy to

detect fake news.

Menczer started the event by talking about ways misinformation spreads and his app Hoaxy. Menczer demonstrated Hoaxy by using examples of things the Trump administration had said. The website filtered the search results with claims and fact-checking articles.

Cohen followed Menczer and discussed how fake news and half-real information coming from the president’s office poses a challenge to journalists, society and the United States as a whole. He said media literacy is important.

“In my view, journalism has never been more important,” Cohen said. “There is a fundamental challenge emanating from the highest office in the land to what we do. And we need to rise to the challenge.”

Following Cohen, Baird provided links to free databases and tips for researching information.

She told her own stories about ways she has used research to contribute to stories.

“Learn these things before you’re on deadline, and then use your power for good,” Baird said.

Maggie Tully, a sophomore studying journalism, said she believes talking about fake news is important because of their constant presence on social media and needing to

question sources when taking in news.

In light of the Trump administration’s talk of alternative facts and fake news, Tully said she and her friends got together.

Though initially shocked by the discussion, she said she and her friends became empowered to do their job as journalists.

“We’re going to be even more driven to get the facts right,” she said.

Exploratory freshman Taylor Newton came to the discussion for one of her classes. She has an interest in the Media School and said she believes it is important to know when people in the media are telling the truth because they are supposed to be informing the public.

“I hate that alternative facts have become a thing,” junior Devyn Blandford said. “And I think it’s just going to confuse people if we don’t talk about it.”

Blandford, a journalism major, said in the future she would want to make sure she did not undermine her work, or a colleague’s, by using a fact she could not independently verify.

She said she hopes that if we talk about facts and fake news, perhaps we can reach a conclusion in the future about what a fact is. She said she hopes this will be able to happen to stop people from giving up and tuning out the media.

“That’s all we can do,” Tully said, “just continue to move forward, report and get the facts right.”

The power of failure to motivate learning is the subject of a new study at the IU School of Education. A $300,000 grant from the National Science Foundation will help fund the program until September 2018.

Adam Maltese and Amber Simpson, both IU professors, and Alice Anderson from the Science Museum of Minnesota will be investigating just how humans adapt after failure in a project called “Maker: Studying the Role of Failure in Design and Making.”

“We are hoping to learn about failure and how it can possibly be framed to be more about ‘learning from mistakes’ or ‘response to obstacles’ rather than an end state,” Maltese said in an IU press release. “We realize the major learning potential rests in analyzing why a certain approach didn’t work and moving forward to try something else.”

From IDS reports

In the last week, the IU Police Department arrested two men for separate instances of domestic battery.

On Tuesday Anthony Henderson, 27, was arrested for two counts of domestic battery, both occurring on

North Walnut Street. These were two separate incidents.

The first was Jan. 21 and the second was Tuesday.

Henderson’s girlfriend called IUPD after the two got into an altercation .

She said she had been pushed, and IUPD Capt.

Andy Stephenson said she

had red markings around her neck.

Four days before this attack, another domestic battery case was reported. This one involved IU student Gabriel Jones.

Jones was arrested for strangulation in addition to domestic battery at Union

Street apartments.

Jones and an ex-girlfriend had an argument, which led to Jones pushing her against the wall and choking her. The woman had no visible injuries, Stephenson said.

“Making” is a movement within the field of education focusing on creating hands-on activities and doit-yourself projects, rather than traditional sit-down classrooms.

The study will take place with educators and students in after-school programs, a science center and a public school district, according to the press release. It will also take into account race, urban and rural settings, and students who may be on free or reduced-price lunches.

Minority groups typically have more negative reactions to failure than other groups, according to the release.

Maltese said he hopes the IU School of Education’s Make Innovate Learn Lab is a space where everyone can learn through more creative methods. The space will be used to collect data for the team to devise better persistence and learning.

Many testify at solar hearing

By Alexa Chryssovergis aachryss@indiana.edu @achryssovergis

Dozens of people filled the Statehouse early Thursday morning and lined the walls of the Senate chambers to testify against a bill that would eliminate net metering, a big incentive for using solar power, in Indiana.

The testimony stretched well past its allotted time. Half an hour after the hearing in the Senate utilities committee was supposed to end, about 30 scheduled testifiers opposed to the bill still hadn’t spoken.

Senate Bill 309, authored

by Sen. Brandt Hershman, RBuck Creek, would completely outlaw net metering after a 15-year period with the intent to grandfather in those who are currently in the process of installing renewable energy.

Before testimony began, Hershman introduced an amendment in response to protestation from renewable energy proponents, and Sen. Jim Merritt, R-Indianapolis, committee chair, asked those in attendance to adjust their testimony accordingly. The amendment, which suggested allowing individuals 5 years to install solar power and then a subsequent 10 years during which they could continue to use net metering, was was taken by consent. Originally, the bill stated net metering would be illegal in 2027, 10 years from now rather than a potential 15.

Solar is a big investment for many. The equipment is expensive, but users begin to save money after a period of time using the renewable resource.

Net metering allows customers to be compensated at retail rates for excess energy that they produce and send back into the energy grid.

Without it, customers would be compensated at substantially lower wholesale rates.

Hershman said he is not anti-solar or any other renewable resource but likes to

ALEXA CHRYSSOVERGIS | IDS

Darrell Boggess from the Solar Indiana Renewable Energy Network testifies against Senate Bill 309 on Thursday. Dozens came out for the hearing to speak in opposition to the bill.

think of himself as “technology neutral.” He referred repeatedly to net metering as a subsidy, which critics would later call out as a hot-button word and an inaccurate one.

“If you cannot make the economics of putting a panel on your roof and your payback period is longer than 15 years, then maybe you shouldn’t be putting a panel on the roof,” Hershman said to a silent audience.

Hershman’s amendment, criticized by Sen. Mark Stoops, D-Bloomington, for being too convoluted, would also get rid of the bill’s buyall-sell-all provision, according to a testifier, which would have meant consumer’s excess energy would go directly into the grid and they would then have had to buy back the energy at a higher retail value.

It also adds a 25-percent premium for those providing excess power to the grid.

For those testifying against the bill, these additions were not nearly enough.

“People outside Indiana may choose not to come here because of the signals that are being sent about the attitudes of our good state,” said Darrell Boggess, a solar user and member of the Solar Indiana Renewable Energy Network.

Opponents to the bill included members of renewable energy groups such as

SIREN, scientists, lawyers, school superintendents and constituents. Testimony after testimony emphasized the benefits of solar usage to the energy grid.

One major pro-solar argument is that panels are beneficial to the grid in other ways, such as by being zero-polluting sources and by improving grid security. Hershman earlier discounted these types of arguments, saying that those benefits are “a fairly hard thing to price,” and that “what isn’t open for debate is the fact that in hard dollar terms there is a significant subsidy going on.”

Supporters of this bill argue that it’s a fair policy because people with solar power pay less for use of the energy grid than people without it, so the people using traditional energy sources have to incur this extra cost.

However, it is unclear whether this is actually true or not. One woman, Anne Dowhie from Evansville, Indiana, said the person sitting next to her had brought an energy bill to the Statehouse that day, and the back of the bill states “basic service charges” and other grid-related costs are included in the bill amount.

An argument from many testifiers was the legislature doesn’t have enough Indiana-specific data regarding

net metering to rush forward with policy on the matter.

Some suggested a committee should be formed to examine and conduct research on the subject. Sen. Tim. Lanane, D-Anderson, supported this notion in a retort to a bill supporter.

“I’d rather get it right than have a bunch of us legislators who really aren’t experts —” Lanane said, and the rest of his sentence was drowned out by applause.

As of 2015, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, 44 states plus Washington, D.C., have implemented net metering policies.

Several school administrators also testified against the bill, saying solar usage had saved them tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars that they were able to redirect to help students. Many said they wouldn’t be able to continue using solar if the bill passes.

Much of the hearing centered on confusion and frustration over discrepancies regarding the complicated topic, and Boggess touched on this, too, in his testimony.

“We’re at a crossroads for our energy future,” Boggess said. “I really honestly truly believe the reason we don’t have solar energy in Indiana is because most people don’t understand it.”

The Indiana House education committee passed a bill Thursday to replace the controversial ISTEP with a new test, ILEARN. The committee, which voted 10-2, heard testimony Tuesday in support of and in opposition to House Bill 1003, and it discussed amendments Thursday.

Only one amendment passed, one which concerned relatively inconsequential and technical terms of the bill, according to Committee Chair Rep. Robert Behning.

Chief of concerns from Democratic opposition was the question of how students would be tested in the transition period from ISTEP to ILEARN. Several of those testifying Tuesday acknowledged that the time required to switch to a new test could be lengthy.

Behning said Indiana would use the two-year extension option on its contract with Pearson, the test distributing company, to give students a test essentially the same as ISTEP. He said the transition-period test would be aligned with Indiana educational standards, which ISTEP was not. This is part of why ISTEP generated so much criticism.

The test was also criticized for not being “off the shelf,” or comparable to other state assessments, after Indiana chose to break from Common Core standards in 2013. A committee was created by the legislature last year to determine ways in which the test needed to be improved and altered.

“I think I’ve heard you say, basically, that we’re going to keep ISTEP for two

more years, despite our legislature and despite these commissions,” Rep. Ed DeLaney, D-Indianapolis, said to Behning.

Behning replied that federal law requires a state exam, but DeLaney persisted in his line of questioning.

“Is there a danger that if we change the name of that we’re misleading the public?” DeLaney asked.

Supporters of the bill, though, were pleased with some of the ways in which ILEARN would be different from its predecessor. For one, the bill suggests there only be one testing window at the end of the two years rather than two. It also gives Indiana educators an opportunity to grade the tests rather than recruiting graders via Craigslist, as they have in years past.

Nicole Fama, chairperson for the ISTEP replacement commission, emphasized her support for these points of the bill, as well as the fact that it would get test results back to teachers and students more quickly.

“We felt like this plan really represented all the work we did really well,” Fama said.

John O’Neal from the Indiana State Teachers Association was one of the later testifiers, and he kept it brief.

His perspective matched that of DeLaney, who worried aloud whether the work the legislature does for education is actually helpful or whether it’s wasting time.

“Let’s just take something that works, that’s good for kids, and move on,” O’Neal said. “We keep switching things around, and the constant flux is a distraction and disruption in the classroom, both for educators and students.”

Pence email lawsuit might go to Indiana Supreme Court

By Taylor Telford ttelford@indiana.edu @ttelford1883

The fight for Vice President Mike Pence’s emails may be headed to the Indiana Supreme Court.

Indianapolis labor lawyer William Groth has petitioned the Indiana Supreme Court to take his case, which centers on a public records request Groth filed for Pence’s emails from his government email account late in 2014.

If the case is accepted, it could shed light on a political skirmish surrounding Obama’s 2014 executive order on immigration.

While Mike Pence was still Indiana governor, he considered joining a lawsuit to try to block Obama’s executive order.

The executive order shielded many undocumented immigrants from deportation and offered them temporary legal

status, which caused an uproar among Republicans.

Although Pence wanted to join in the lawsuit, Indiana attorney general Greg Zoeller refused to represent the state in the case, which meant Pence would have to hire private legal counsel using taxpayer dollars.

Groth was furious.

“I was offended that my tax dollars would be used to hire lawyers to pursue Governor Pence’s ideological interests,” Groth said.

He filed a public records request in December 2014 for files relating to Pence’s decision to hire legal counsel and join the lawsuit.

The documents Groth received in return were heavily redacted.

Among the documents was an email from the Texas governor’s chief of staff that was sent to 30 recipients and asked them to join in Texas’ lawsuit against President Obama.

The email had an

attachment, but the attachment was not in the documents that Pence released to Groth.

Frustrated with Pence’s lack of cooperation, Groth sued Pence as a private citizen.

After losing in trial court, Groth took the case to the Indiana Court of Appeals.

There, Pence argued the redactions were necessary because they involved “deliberative material.”

This means the governor can choose to withhold at his own discretion, and because it violated the confidentiality of the attorney-client relationship.

He also argued the court didn’t have the power to force him to produce the attachment or hand over the files unredacted under a clause in the Indiana Constitution regarding separation of powers.

Last month, the Court of Appeals sided with Pence, but the decision was not

unanimous.

In her dissent, Chief Judge Nancy Vaidik said because Pence had not actually joined the lawsuit at the time the documents were from his argument for attorneyclient privilege didn’t hold up.

The email, she wrote, “served as a lobbying or soliciting tool by Texas to encourage other states to join its legal challenge.”

Vaidik also wrote because the email attachment had been prepared by someone outside of the Indiana governor’s office, it didn’t qualify as deliberative material.

“I do not believe that a public agency can protect a record from disclosure as deliberative material just by ‘using’ it,” Vaidik wrote in her dissent.

Now that he’s petitioned the Indiana Supreme Court to take the case, Groth said he is hopeful.

After a split decision in the Court of Appeals, this is

the type of case the Supreme Court is suited to take — one that could resolve a conflict and clear up the law for future litigants.

Groth still wants to know what’s in the email attachment.

“If it’s completely innocent, and it’s nothing that would embarrass anyone or reveal nefarious dealings, I don’t know why he won’t produce it,” Groth said. “It raises one’s curiosity.”

Now that Pence has left his role as governor for the vice-presidency, the defendant in the case is technically Gov. Eric Holcomb.

Groth said there’s a possibility Holcomb could decide not to take the case any further and just hand over the emails unredacted, along with the attachment.

Holcomb has not commented on the case.

For now, Groth will have to wait and see if the Supreme Court will take the case.

“I do not believe that a public agency can protect a record from disclosure as deliberative material just by ‘using’ it.”

Nancy Vaidik, Chief Judge

With Pence serving as vice president, Groth thinks the case has significant public interest.

The arguments Pence made for why the court couldn’t force him to release all the documents somewhat parallel President Trump’s behavior toward the courts with his own executive order that barred travelers from seven Muslim-majority countries, which is being challenged by courts all across the United States.

“There’s definitely a trend here of the president and vice president taking a dim view of the right of the courts as separate but equal parents of the law,” Groth said.

BPD: five drug overdoses in six hours From IDS reports

Bloomington Police Department officers responded Wednesday to five apparent heroin overdoses in the span of about six hours, which police said was unusually high for a single day. In all cases, the men were revived with the overdose-reversing drug Narcan and taken to the hospital.

BPD Sgt. Ryan Pedigo said he didn’t know whether BPD will investigate the overdoses as related incidents.

“It does seem like a lot,” he said. “I don’t know if it’s a super-potent batch of it or what.”

Police first responded at about 1:45 p.m. to the parking lot of the CVS at 2650 S. Walnut St. after a woman complained the man who was supposed to give her a ride appeared to be unconscious.

The woman administered Narcan and police and an ambulance responded. The man, 36, regained consciousness and was taken to the

hospital. Pedigo said officers saw syringes and a spoon in the cab of the truck. Shortly after, police were called to the intersection of South Walnut Street and East Wylie Street after someone reported an unconscious man. The witness told police he could not find a pulse on the man, then performed CPR, dialed 911 and eventually did find a pulse. He also saw several syringes and a spoon with residue near the man, Pedigo said.

The 41-year-old man was taken to the hospital, where he was somewhat alert, Pedigo said. He told police he’d done heroin and it was his first time taking the drug.

Later in the afternoon, at 5:37 p.m., police were dispatched to a residence at the 1600 block of North Willis Drive. People at the residence said they’d been in another room when they heard the 44-year-old man fall in the rear bedroom.

They found him

unconscious on the floor but with a pulse. A spoon and cotton ball were found in the room. Officers administered Narcan, and the man was taken to the hospital.

Just after that, at about 6:20 p.m., officers responded to a location nearby, at the 700 block of West Gourley Pike.

They administered Narcan to a man believed to have overdosed in the front seat of a car. The 28-year-old regained consciousness and told police he’d smoked heroin.

Later that night, at 9:52 p.m., a man who’d gone to a friend’s apartment on the 500 block of West Lava Way reported he’d entered the apartment to find the 19-year-old friend unconscious. BPD and emergency medical technicians responded, and the emergency medical service administered Narcan. The friend told police he knew the man used heroin.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 politicians. All of them had someone in their family who needed help.

Many were people Jackie had known for years. She didn’t realize they or their families had been struggling with addiction, too. She thought she was the only one.

By the end of the day, Jackie had given out 62 free naloxone kits, about a third of the 200 kits the Jackson County Health Department is allotted from the state for the entire year. It’s a number public health coordinator Lin Montgomery in Seymour says is not big enough.

It was the most Jackie had ever seen handed out in a day.

For too long, too many people were addressing the crisis as a junkie problem or worse turning their backs on it, she said. It wasn’t just an addict problem. It was everyone’s problem.

Some people thought naloxone was simply a crutch, an excuse for people to keep using. Protesters argued that addicts were already trying to kill themselves, so why not just let them die?

As one police officer said: “Why should I play God?” The event struck a nerve.

Now people were beginning to talk about the heroin problem and reach out.

Shortly after the Harmony Park event, Jackie received a message from a former coworker. The woman hadn’t seen her daughter, who struggled with addiction, in four

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 program, and having been through a senior season there, he brought a lot of maturity and good perspective to our team,” Goldman said. “He fit in to our team without missing a beat. He is very personable; that was able to ingrain himself with the guys. It’s like he has been here for four or five years.”

In fitting in with the team, Perez has built a bond with 184-pound fellow senior No. 6 Nate Jackson thanks to their desires to be true students of the sport.

Perez said they both have taken the younger guys under their wings and watched a lot of wrestling together to learn, realize what they are doing right and tweak their future performance to help themselves and the rest of the team get better while becoming better students of the sport.

Taking guys under his wing is something Perez said he enjoys doing and wants to be remembered for the positive attitude he brings to practice and matches everyday.

Perez said he always comes in with a smile because wrestling is a brutal and tough sport.

The New York native said showing guys how to dig deep through adversity is something he wants the team to remember him for as well.

As Perez’s final season at IU and his wrestling career

months. She didn’t know if she was dead or alive.

“If you see her,” she wrote, “would you tell her I love her?” * * * Druggies, those people have a problem. They should be left alone. Jackie said that’s how many people view the drug problem in Seymour, and until Taylor overdosed, Jackie was one of them.

At first she couldn’t understand Taylor’s heroin addiction. It made her mad. Once he got out of the hospital, she made his grandmother handle most of his affairs until she could let him tell her anything and have it not shock her.

“When someone overdoses and you realize you could’ve lost that person, then you realize you have to do whatever it takes to keep them alive,” Jackie said. “You have to come to their level.”

Since Taylor came home from jail after serving 90 days for unlawful possession of a syringe, Jackie has been right by his side during his recovery process. She sometimes goes with him to counseling, receives his random drug tests and goes with him to his mandatory court appearances on Wednesdays when she can get off work.

If anything, working with Taylor and others grappling with addiction has taught Jackie compassion.

The problem was the stigma around drug use; the negative connotation and social isolation. People were afraid

“When you are out there, and your knee shifts, and you are buckling up, it’s really easy to quit on yourself and make excuses.”

Chris Perez, IU wrestler

come to an end, he will get to wrestle his last match in the University Gym with his mom watching. Last season at Princeton, Perez was hurt and unable to wrestle in his senior night.

“It will be fun to strap on the singlet one more time at home in front of IU’s fans,” Perez said. “It’ll be good, my mom is coming out to see me wrestle. It’s been an interesting adjustment, going from senior to super senior, but the new guy. It’s definitely an interesting dynamic.”

With the adjustment, one Perez has taken in full stride, Perez will finish his career when he probably shouldn’t be on the mat anymore, reminding the guys to take advantage of their time on the mat.

“I have gone through a lot of injuries and probably shouldn’t be wrestling, but I am still kicking,” Perez said. “When guys get down on themselves I would like them to reflect and think about why they are out there, to really enjoy their short time on the mat because it’s been six years now and it’s flying by. Before you know it, it goes away. It goes quick.”

to ask for help because then everyone would know.

It is this denial and fear of reaching out that Jackie says becomes a barrier to care.

The key was not to push the addicts aside as though they could get clean on their own.

Everyone needed to talk about it in a more tolerant way.

After the event and the publication of an interview with Taylor in the local Seymour Tribune, word of Jackie’s story spread. People from all over the community began to confide in her. If she could talk about it, so could they.

Like the retired drug counselor whose 16-yearold grandson overdosed on heroin.

The mother whose son was depressed and started using. She told Jackie about his overdose before telling his father.

The close friend who only recently admitted to suffering from addiction for three years.

The two people who overdosed within one week. A young man and woman close to Taylor’s age. One died on a Saturday, the other on a Monday.

It could happen to anyone.

“You don’t know the circumstances that got them into it,” Jackie said.

A few weeks after the Harmony Park event, a young woman walked into Jackie’s office.

“Are you Jackie who knows my mom?”

It was the daughter of Jackie’s former coworker, who had been desperately seeking news of her

daughter.

Jackie had never met the woman before but immediately hugged her.

“Your mom is worried sick about you,” she said. * * * Jackie still keeps naloxone kits in her underwear drawer. She also keeps some in her car and in her husband, John’s, and her daughter’s cars. She keeps them for Taylor, although she doesn’t want to have to use it on him again, and for the community.

She didn’t replenish the kit right after Taylor’s overdose. She didn’t think she’d ever need it again, but after Harmony Park, people began calling her, asking if she had any or knew where to find them.

She carried one in her purse and one in her car. In September, when she flew to Florida for her wedding, she packed one, just in case.

She’s already given out more than 25, and the calls keep coming.

Usually people call after an overdose has already happened. They want to make sure they have it on hand for the next time.

Jackie tells them the naloxone isn’t enough; they need to get into counseling.

They have to own up to it and stop lying.

If nothing else, people need to get it out in the open, to be able to say: “You can tell me anything. I just don’t want you to die.”

She tells Taylor that all the

time. * * * Jackie is no longer the person she was before all this happened.

She’s anxious and irritable. She has constant headaches. When she comes home from work, all she wants to do is sleep. She apologizes to her husband, John. She used to be fun.

They’d go out to listen to live music two or three times a week. Now she’d rather stay home so she’s available in a crisis.

Although Taylor is doing well in his recovery, it’s a daily struggle. His overdose left her with an overwhelming sadness, a constant grieving.

“I feel like I have a son with a terminal illness,” she said, “and that one day it’s going to kill him.”

It’s hard listening to everyone’s story and taking on their struggles without being

able to tell anyone. She still has trouble talking about the night of Taylor’s overdose.

She’s finally begun going to counseling for herself, to have someone to talk to.

Recently one of her patients in Scott County died.

She and her coworkers attended his funeral. To her, it’s not just work.

She plans to host another event soon. She’ll tour grade schools to talk to middle school students and teenagers about preventative drug use with Overdose Lifeline. She hopes to help start a needle exchange program in Seymour and to provide more HIV testing.

There will always be more to be done for the community.

As Taylor put it: someone’s gotta do it.

“But you’re not embarrassed by me doing it, are you?” Jackie asks him.

No. “Because I’m going to be doing more.”

» REPRESENTATION CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

The Little 500 sit-in was not the end to Turner’s involvement in campus affairs.

University Archives show his involvement in the following year’s protests regarding a tuition fee hike. On the evening of May 8, 1969, Turner and other students locked faculty and administrators into a lounge in Ballantine Hall and demanded to speak to members of the Board of Trustees.

Newspaper headlines characterized the protest as a hostage situation. In a May 9 article in the Bloomington Courier-Tribune titled “Black students hold IU officials hostage,” the newspaper said “the officials were held hostage by about 140 negro students inside the room who guarded windows and doors.”

A statement from the faculty and administrators disputed this characterization as merely a hostage situation. While they condemned any act of violence, the political climate required them to investigate each situation individually.

“As the situation evolved, small group discussions developed which in our judgement resulted in increased understanding,” the faculty wrote in the statement.

A dozen students and former faculty members, including Turner, would

be charged for the Ballantine Hall lock-in. The final members of the group were acquitted in August 1971, according to newspaper clippings in the University Archives.

The Louisville CourierJournal & Times reported Indiana Gov. Edgar Whitcomb woke up in the middle of the protest, which occurred late in the evening, to be informed that students planned to harm the University’s Acting Chancellor, John Snyder.

Joseph Sutton, then the University’s president, wrote in a personal letter held by the IU Archives his fears about the protest.

“Rollo always says he is willing to die,” Sutton wrote of Turner. “Nobody has made a threat but if you call in force I don’t know what they might do.”

A photo of Snyder in the Indiana Daily Student the next day shows him exchanging remarks with a helmet-clad student. In the photo, the two are grinning.

Snyder would eventually resign from his position in June. In his open letter to the campus, he cited increasing levels of political and social unrest on college campuses and increased availability to pornography as major issues facing institutes of higher

learning.

The end of the ‘60s did not mark the end of racial discourse on campus.

Records show unrest following a 1971 arrest of two black female students in the library for speaking too loudly.

However, the climate on campus throughout the ‘60s, though not distinct to IU, was a decisive period of relationship between black students and the school’s administration.

Up until present day, including this academic year when protests occurred on an almost weekly basis, IU has been a platform for social discourse.

IU missed a great opportunity against in-state rival No. 16 Purdue on Thursday night at home.

The Hoosiers are currently on the bubble of making the NCAA Tournament, according to ESPN’s bracketology, and a win against a quality Boilermakers squad would’ve benefited their struggling tournament résumé.

IU played well on defense and contained Purdue’s 3-point shooting and points in the paint for the most part, but the Hoosiers didn’t shoot the ball well either. In the end, IU didn’t execute on the little things and moved to 15-10 overall and 5-7 in Big Ten play after a 69-64 loss.

“We were never able to get over the hump offensively because we didn’t shoot it as well,” IU Coach Tom Crean said. “We played well around the rim, but we didn’t shoot it as well. A couple things late — we miss a block out, and it was a two-point game that goes to four

— those things are monumental in a game that’s coming down to the wire.”

The Hoosiers had their chances to

win Thursday night, and after trailing for the first 12 minutes of the game, they took the lead via a 3-pointer by junior guard Robert Johnson and

carried a 36-32 lead into halftime.

The biggest concern for IU coming into the game was trying to contain Purdue’s Big Ten leading 3-point shooting, and IU did. The Boilermakers shot 28 percent from beyond the arc, and the Hoosiers even contained their rival in the paint as well.

The Purdue big men duo down low of 6-foot-9 Caleb Swanigan and 7-foot-2 Isaac Haas have terrorized opponents all year.

In the first half, sophomore forwards Thomas Bryant and Juwan Morgan with help from freshman forward De’Ron Davis off the bench limited the Purdue duo to 3 of 12 from the field.

“As good as Haas and Swanigan are, you have to defend the 3 at a very high level against them and in transition,” Crean said. “For the most part we did that, but so did they. We were eight-of-34 shooting with our three starting guards. That’s not good.”

COLUMN: ‘A bizarre happenstance’: IU’s season in a nutshell It seems appropriate that in a season marred by miscues, injuries and all-around confounding play, the IU basketball season came down to a double foul.

At the 44-second mark of the second half, down by five, IU big man Thomas Bryant attacked the paint.

Purdue’s forward Caleb Swanigan stood in his way.

One official saw a blocking foul. The other called a charge. Eventually, they decided two fouls were better than one and tossed both players out of the game with their fifth fouls.

“I’ve never seen a double foul out like that, especially involving two key players near the end of the game,” said Bob Hammel, former sports editor of the Bloomington Herald-Times and member of the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame. “It was a

bizarre happenstance.”

“A bizarre happenstance” doesn’t just describe that one play. It describes the entire season for Hoosier basketball.

At halftime at Assembly Hall, IU lead 36-32.

The home team ended up losing, again, 69-64.

This is the team’s 12th conference game and its seventh loss in conference play.

At one point No. 3 in the nation, IU Coach Tom Crean and company have steered their ship directly into the metaphorical iceberg.

They’ve attempted to stay afloat with sporadic wins, including a three-game winning streak against Rutgers, Penn State and Michigan State in late January, but the holes are too glaring and the water is unceasing.

Déjà vu. That’s how the Purdue game felt for its

entire duration.

We’ve seen this game and many of its ilk over and over again.

IU takes a lead early on and stretches it into the beginning of the second half, yet the persistence of the opponent and the wilting of the Hoosiers in the final stretch routinely prove to be too much.

With three minutes and 49 seconds left, the game was tied. I’m confident in this fact because I wrote it down knowing that this final gasp against Purdue might be the final gasp for IU’s relevancy in the 2016-17 season.

This final fragment came immediately after a blonde IU fanatic rejected a Purdue devotee on the Assembly Hall Kiss Cam. This was reverse foreshadowing because the Boilermakers ended up blocking the Hoosiers’

hopes of a successful season and spot in the tournament.

The double foul was a brutal call, but it doesn’t change the fact that once again the Hoosiers didn’t know how to close at home against a team they could’ve undoubtedly beaten.

Perhaps the most telling play was at the 29-second mark with IU trailing by four.

Junior guard Josh Newkirk attacked the basket with reckless abandon. The key word there is reckless.

He tossed the ball at the rim in a way that’s reminiscent of a clown throwing a pie whilst tripping on a banana peel.

It was just a mess.

The ball was rebounded by junior guard James Blackmon Jr., who promptly got fouled.

He then missed the first free throw.

They’re 25 games into the season, and it’s these possessions that sum up the year for the Hoosiers. Close, odd and, at the end of it all, a loss.

The fans were loud, IU led for a large portion of the game, and there was a chance to beat a ranked opponent at home to garner some momentum over the last breath of the season.

Once more, the Hoosiers didn’t take advantage of the situation.

After the loss, a visibly and rightfully frustrated James Blackmon Jr. took his seat in front of the press.

“Just the mistakes we made,” the junior guard said in regards to what needs to improve for IU’s impending rematch against Purdue. “We gotta be better with the ball, knowing their tendencies now. We’ll be ready for them the next time we play them.”

Greg Gottfried is a senior in journalism.

This is the right approach, but sometimes it doesn’t matter how ready they are.

They have to finish the game and make the plays when it counts.

IU didn’t do that against Purdue. It didn’t do that against Wisconsin. It hasn’t done that many times this season.

With six games left, four on the road, it’s about to be too little too late for IU. Big Red had their chance and, just like against Purdue, it lost it.

That’s where the 201617 season seems to stand, “a bizarre happenstance” in which the Hoosiers weren’t good enough. gigottfr@indiana.edu @gott31

EDITORIAL BOARD

Trump’s tweets are anything but responsible Jessica Karl is a senior in English.

Sure, Saturday Night Live writers are probably having a field day as President Trump waits for the “Easy D,” but we have to ask ourselves if we really want a president who tweets at 7:30 in the morning about Arnold Schwarzenegger’s abysmal performance on Celebrity Apprentice.

If our national leader doesn’t know how to correctly use quotations — see “evil” Feb. 3 — at this point he should have to hire a personal proofreader for his social media.

As a man who has no decorum, he clearly isn’t below ruthlessly attacking and whining about anyone and anything that doesn’t agree with him.

“My daughter Ivanka has been treated so unfairly by @Nordstrom. She is a great person – always pushing me to do the right thing!

Terrible!”

Looks like the new White House slogan is “Trump Family Affairs First, America Second.” You know what that is?

Sad! Many of us remember those annoying helicopter mothers that served on the Parent Teacher Association just so that they could get their child into that class or the parents that donated thousands of dollars to a university in order to streamline their child’s acceptance letter.

Trump’s tweet about Ivanka’s blunder with Nordstrom is just that.

Many say he’s crossed an ethical line and is completely abusing his power. Luckily, his attack did nothing in terms of dampening the retailer’s credibility.

Mary Embry, a retail-merchandising professor here at IU, spoke with the Washington Post on the matter.

“Politics certainly do matter in fashion, but the strength of the Nordstrom stock validates the strength of the decision-making of that retailer.”

Additionally, most Nordstrom customers are not graying white men ready to jump on the Trump — instead, many are the women in the pink knitted caps that detest the man and all of his testosterone-induced impotency.

Embry added, “The president is not seen as having any particular expertise on fashion.”

Speaking of fashion, I can’t be the only person who was scarred by seeing the man sport a terrycloth robe in what looks to be the honeymoon suite of a bed-bug infested Motel 8.

The world would be a better place without that image circulating the digisphere.

What is possibly worse and far more serious than the aforementioned trolls is Trump’s most recent victim: the “so-called” federal judiciary.

“Just cannot believe a judge would put our country in such peril. If something happens blame him and court system,” Trump posted February 5.

The entire debacle escalated on Thursday morning when Trump attacked Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Connecticut, because he disagreed with Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Neil Gorsuch, who labeled the President’s criticisms as “disheartening” and “demoralizing.”

So much for being all buddy-buddy with Gorsuch.

Regardless of what we think about Trump’s attack on Blumenthal’s misleading role in Vietnam, it completely skirts around the subject matter: Trump’s violent lashing out on social media is a direct hit to our constitution and the separation of powers.

Trump fails to realize that you cannot simply hit “delete” on a widely lauded pillar of free speech. jlkarl@umail.iu.edu

Above all else, we are one IU IU students will remain united in the face of questionable immigration policy Despite the fact that not a single U.S. citizen has been killed in a terrorist attack committed by persons from any of the seven countries listed in President Trump’s travel ban, our current administration still views those countries as threatening enough to belong on a blacklist.

The executive order enacting the ban was signed Jan. 27 and has since been met with staunch opposition from public institutions of all kinds, including public universities such as IU. It has since been suspended, but it is currently being considered for reinstatement in federal appeals court.

On the Sunday after the order, both President

Michael McRobbie and Vice President and Executive Provost Lauren Robel released statements establishing the University’s position on the travel ban and accompanying immigration restrictions.

McRobbie wrote the order is “contrary to the very core of our values as an institution committed to excellence and innovation,” and Robel reiterates that IU will uphold “strong advocacy against” the discriminatory policies.

IU is joined in its support of a collaborative, international community by more than 100 other public colleges, according to the Association of Public and LandGrant Universities.

Included in this community is Purdue

University, our rival in athletics but our ally in the promotion of education and tolerance.

President and former Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels describes the travel ban as “poorly implemented” and notes that “if the idea is to strengthen the protection of Americans against terrorism, there are many far better ways to achieve it.”

Although universities are typically expected to maintain political neutrality to allow students to form their own opinions, Trump’s executive order represents the kind of exceptional case in which strong and clear action is required if the best interests of students and faculty are to be protected.

The Editorial Board appreciates McRobbie’s

and Robel’s declarations of solidarity with those whom Trump’s executive actions will harm. Such measures are vital to maintaining inclusive campus environments that, as they put it, “educate students for active, engaged and committed citizenship.”

With the recent rise of nationalist rhetoric and legislation that targets minority groups, it has become necessary to fortify institutions that offer vital services — including education — to people of all nationalities.

It is the responsibility of those in positions of power to act with dignity and benevolence, and when our elected officials will not uphold this standard, we as students still deserve strong leaders to whom we

can look for comfort and guidance.

We need people to remind us that America truly is a nation of immigrants whose diversity adds value and beauty, not weakness and danger.

The Editorial Board believes that Hoosiers are lucky to be part of a community that does not waver in its resolution to foster compassion and cultural acceptance.

It is only by continuing on in this way that we can ensure our university remains a welcoming home for all. Ineffective, poorly thought-out policy shouldn’t impede education.

As Robel assures us, “we are one IU; full stop, no exceptions.”

COFFEE CHRONICLES

IU should lose government subsidies

We need standardized excused absence policies

There’s been a lot of bustle within the political community recently regarding our newest president.

I would expect everyone and their dog to have an opinion, but the last thing I want is for my school to get in on the action.

As a student of IU, I accepted that I was going to a public school that is supposed to have an ultimately neutral standpoint on all matters, religious and political.

As we on campus all know and understand, emails from IU have been circulating with regards to Trump’s election victory and immigration ban.

Normally it wouldn’t directly take a stance opposing him per say, however this time they directly stated that they take a stance strongly opposing his immigration ban.

Not long after receiving this email, I received an email offering me a safe space to process all of this.

I am not a Republican or a Democrat, but I’ve simply had it with watching my school clearly take sides in these matters. If it wants to defend fairness, it should

stay out of politics that will exclude many of their students and their viewpoints.

Morals aside, public schools these days should be required not to take sides for the exact reason I just mentioned.

This got me thinking of a relatively radical notion in this day’s environment. I would like to endorse and push for the notion that IU should immediately stop receiving all government subsidies — federal, state or local.

In fact, a 2015 study by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York found that tuition increases by an average of 65 percent of the amount of subsidy money given to the university.

This money from the government is only marginally helping students, and it’s ridiculously inefficient, inflating the cost of education.

With the outrageously high tuition rates all the out-of-state students, like me, are paying and all the donations and other funding IU is receiving, it should have to better manage the money it receives.

In my opinion, a school

Nick Castellini is a freshman in management.

without any subsidies would have to run more efficiently and honestly. If you are a student reading this and thinking I’ve gone mad, please hear me out.

Without the subsidies, IU would have to lower its costs so the same amount of students can attend.

You are hearing me correctly — getting rid of government subsidies to IU will lower the cost of your tuition and make student life a lot easier.

In my opinion, there are plenty of reasons our fine cream and crimson should be defunded.

It’s a radical notion, but there’s merit behind it. I believe in the glory of old IU, and I know it can prosper without the chains of government.

Believe in this school, and believe in real true neutrality within the academic workplace.

For all of our sakes, moral and financial, we need to get rid of this school’s subsidies. castelln@umail.iu.edu

The editorial board comprises columnists contributing to the Opinion page and the Opinion editors.

Every year, without fail, there are at least two months where it seems everyone is sick. In every lecture hall, all you can hear is coughs and sneezing. Between classes, work and extracurriculars, no one has time to get sick.

However, when we do get sick, the majority of us will still go to class. This is not because we need to hear the information but because the attendance policies oftentimes mean that skipping will result in us getting lower grades. IU needs to create a coherent attendance policy in order to allow students who are sick to stay home so we don’t share our diseases.

Currently, absences are handled by individual courses. One professor may not care about absences at all, but another could knock off a third of a letter grade every time you’re absent after two missed classes. We have too much variance.

On a purely epidemiological viewpoint, many common illnesses including the common cold and the flu are spread through air particles or skin contact.

This means that the chances of getting ill grow with each infected person you come into contact with.

While we can never fully prevent contact with sick individuals, we can limit it.

By sitting through three 50-minute classes where it seems to me that one of every five students is coughing, we are knowingly putting ourselves in situations where we can contract infections. This should be reason enough why we shouldn’t go to class when we’re sick, even if it’s just a cold.

The majority of classes

Neeta Patwari is a junior in biology.

that take attendance say that a doctor’s note would qualify as an excused absence. However, this ignores some key groups of people.

Oftentimes, it is not practical for students to go to the doctor. Many of the students on campus are not originally from Bloomington.

This means that they would either have to find a provider in the area and be a first time patient, go to the health center, or make the trek to the hospital. Because the hospital is not the place where the cold is usually diagnosed, that leaves the health center as a practical way to get a medical excuse.

While some students are fortunate enough to have insurance or be on a parent’s insurance, IU Health Center only accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield and Aetna Student Health Insurance.

This makes getting an excused absence much harder for students. As someone who routinely has classes where participation is at least a fifth of my grade, I feel the effect of absencerelated grade reductions on my GPA. While I think that no unexcused absences are fine for exams or labs, it is entirely possible for students to catch up with readings and by going to office hours for a lecture course.

Our bodies have limits when it comes to how much we can do while we’re sick. IU needs to standardize attendance policies to accomidate these limits. npatwari@umail.iu.edu

Artist Anabel Hopkins shows love for Taos

By Christine Fernando ctfernan@indiana.edu @christinetfernan

Earthy browns and yellows combined with bright blues and reds to form a collection of pastel landscapes.

On one pastel board, a sign reading “Beware of rattlesnakes” was drawn against a background of rocky cliffs and blue sky.

“The light was unfiltered,” artist Anabel Hopkins said. “The sky was so bright and blue that it didn’t quite look real. Sometimes it would turn beautiful shades of purple.”

The landscape was one of many showcased by gallery406 in an exhibit titled “From Taos with Love” that will run until March 31.

The exhibit featured artwork inspired by Hopkins’ time studying under master pastelist Albert Handell in Taos, New Mexico.

Hopkins is an alumna of the University of New Mexico and juried member of the Indiana Artisans Project.

She said her artistic journey allowed her to reconnect with the state.

“I really missed New Mexico,” she said. “It was an opportunity to revisit memories of the landscape but also see a lot of new sites I never would have otherwise.”

In addition to the colors, Hopkins said the terrain of New Mexico was also something that inspired her as an abstract artist.

This landscape was also unlike what she was used to while painting in Indiana.

“I really prefer landscapes with mountains and rocks,” she said. “The rocks are almost abstract in a sense. The individual rocks turn into something that doesn’t quite feel tangible

and physically real.”

Stephanie Reeves, coowner of gallery406, said this distinct terrain paired with Hopkins’ style gave her work an abstract quality that is uncommon in landscape work.

“I love the looseness of it and the colors,” Reeves said.

“It also has this abstract feel that gives you the feeling of being transported to New Mexico.”

Hopkins said this feeling of being transported appeared when many people who had lived in or visited New Mexico came to the gallery opening.

Because of the pueblo buildings and scenery portrayed in the pieces, the art allowed viewers to connect with an area that was important to them, Hopkins said.

“It was nice to be able to bring a piece of a place they cared about into Indiana,” Hopkins said.

Reeves said she was also happy that people were able to connect with the artwork on such a personal level.

“It’s amazing the stories from the past and the family connections and everything that can come out of seeing work like this,” she said.

While she said she is happy with the outcome, Hopkins said she has faced challenges in her craft.

During her time in New Mexico, Hopkins, at 75-years-old, stood outside and painted en plein air for hours at a time.

As a result, she said she was often tired and had back pain that she received physical therapy for after returning to Indiana.

The high altitudes also caused the skin on her fingers to crack. This experience made it difficult to blend her pastels.

ADELINA JUSUF | IDS

Anabel Hopkins opens a painting exhibition, “From Taos with Love,” which displays her pastel and oil paintings from northern New Mexico. She said she is most proud of these paintings from a total of 18 paintings on display at the gallery406.

But Hopkins said the skills required of working en plein air were just as much as challenge as the physical trials.

“There’s so much to take in,” Hopkins said. “There’s a million things going on at once at 360 degrees. It’s hard to focus in on something and just work.”

Despite the difficulties involved, Hopkins said working in New Mexico was a breath of fresh air that rejuvenated her as an artist.

“It’s so easy to get in a rut when you’re in one place, painting the same things,” Hopkins said. “I needed change and to see new things to get inspired by. It was so refreshing, and the change helped me grow as an artist.”

Diane Coffee plans an appearance at the Back Door

By Sierra Vandervort svanderv@indiana.edu @the_whimsical

Bloomington’s primary LGBT club invites patrons to “come celebrate the space and yourselves and all the ridiculousness that can only happen at The Back Door” on their Facebook page.

The Back Door plans a variety of programming throughout the year, and will be celebrating its fouryear anniversary starting at 8 p.m. Saturday with a night of performances, dance parties, gifts and giveaways.

Co-owner and Arts and Entertainment Director for

The Back Door, Nicci B., said she appreciates the sense of family and belonging that usually comes with their anniversary parties.

“What always excites me most about our anniversary parties is the opportunity for the community to celebrate themselves and the space they’ve all helped create,” Nicci B. said. “The room is usually packed with familiar faces.”

Headlining the performance is Western Vinyl artist and former Bloomington resident Diane Coffee, otherwise known as Shaun Fleming.

A former child

Disney voice star and current drummer for the experimental pop project Foxygen, Fleming released his debut album, “My Friend Fish,” after being confined to his new apartment in New York City for several weeks.

His second album, 2015 release “Everybody’s a Good Dog,” was a technicolor explosion of the ‘60s-inspired bubblegum psychedelia of his first record.

Inspired by his relocation to Bloomington from New York City, “Everybody’s a Good Dog” featured a variety of musicians and instruments recorded in

studios across the country — including the Blockhouse Studios in Bloomington.

The night will also include a performance of “pop-up drag-a-viciousness.”

The drag performance will feature Argenta Perón, Patricia Yolonda, also known as Pat Yo, Weave and the bar’s co-owners, Smoove G. and Nicci B. “(We) started performing together our second anniversary as a silly ‘thank you’ to our patrons and supporters,” Nicci B said. “It went over really well, so it’s a tradition now, I suppose.”

After the night’s

performances, resident mixer DJ Pixie will be spinning tunes for a dance party until the end of the night’s festivities.

Guests will also receive a free gift at the door after the $5 cover.

Guests can expect giveaways and drink specials for the celebration.

While it may be labeled a “gay bar,” Nicci B. said she feels the atmosphere of The Back Door acts more like a microcosm of support and love.

“There are plenty of folks we call family that may not personally identify with the sexuality or gender

DIANE COFFEE Tickets $35 8 p.m. Saturday, the Back Door politics of Queerness, but have found in us a place where they, for any number of reasons, feel accepted and supported rather than othered,” she said.

No matter how they identify, guests of Saturday’s show can expect to have a good time.

Professor Steve Raymer first saw his photographs up at the Mathers Museum of World Cultures the day before the official reveal.

“It just looks fabulous,” Raymer told Sarah Hatcher, head of programs and education at the museum. “It looks so much better than I ever thought it could look. I had no idea you could fill up so much space with these pictures.”

Walking through the hallway, lined with photograph after photograph with subjects ranging from South Asian laborers in Dubai to a pack of oryx on the mountainside, Raymer described the context of each image from memory and from captions he had written while assembling the exhibition.

Raymer’s work, in a collection of photographs taken between 1975 and 2016 titled, “The Middle East: A Photojournalist’s Perspective,” will be on view from Feb. 10 through March 12 at Mathers.

He began taking the photos during his time as a National Geographic photographer and continued as he traveled back and forth to the Middle East.

“My goal with this show was to humanize and personalize this huge swath of

TALK BY STEVE RAYMER 4:30 p.m. Friday, Mathers Museum of World Culture land between Afghanistan and the Atlantic Sea coast,” Raymer said. “That’s about 5,000 miles, and that was my challenge.”

A more specific goal Raymer said he had in mind was to widen the breadth of the discussion surrounding the Middle East as it is viewed by some in contemporary society.

Humanizing an area normally associated with war is especially important at this historical moment, Raymer said.

“When we started to do this two years ago I never thought we’d be talking about the Arab-Muslim world in the same way we are today, with the same sort of passions and what Trump has done to our discourse,” Raymer said.

Hatcher said the photographs have the ability to disrupt or reshape students’ preconceived ideas about the Middle East.

Though some might view the area through a monolithic lens, by looking at Raymer’s photographs, viewers get to see the variety that exists across the landscape.

Professor Steve Raymer stands at the front of his exhibition, "The Middle East: A Photojournalist's Perspective," on view through March 12 at the Mathers Museum of World Cultures. The images are from Raymer's travels in the Middle East and depict a variety of countries, landscapes and cultural groups.

of the Middle East is very interesting,” Hatcher said. “I like that there is this juxtaposition of the expected and unexpected.”

The medium of photography allows for this human connection to the subject, Raymer said. Photography gives viewers the opportunity to visit places they may not be able to on their own.

“Visual language is the language of human emotion,” Raymer said. “We’re not using French or English or Arabic or Swahili. We’re using the language of the heart. So, in that sense, most everybody should get it because we’re trying to find intimacy with our pictures.”

Raymer said he emphasized to his own students, both at IU and at Zayed University School of Communications and Media Sciences in Dubai last semester, the power of seeing, understanding and feeling based on the original motto of Life Magazine.

“If you strike an emotional chord with the people who are looking at your pictures, you’ve done a pretty good job.

You’ve succeeded,” Raymer said. “Hopefully that picture tells a story, the sheikh there getting his coffee at the camel races, or the Arab who loves his camel, or the girls here who walk between two cultures, literally, in their lifetime.”

IU set for tough tournament

in the first half even after the Hoosiers were given an added boost in the return of leading scorer junior guard James Blackmon Jr. to the lineup. Blackmon had missed the past three games with a lower leg injury, and in his return he added just 11 points on 3-of-14 shooting.

The game turned with under 13 minutes left in the second half as the Hoosiers had a two-point lead. Davis drove to the bucket and was slapped in the face by Haas, and Davis immediately went down in pain.

With Davis still on the other end of the floor, Purdue took advantage of the four-on-five on the other end.

The Boilermakers missed a shot, grabbed the offensive rebound and kicked it out to Vince Edwards, who drained a 3-pointer to give Purdue its first lead since the eightminute mark in the first half.

The referees didn’t stop play until after Purdue’s offensive possession, and Davis, who had been a key defensive stopper down low, was helped off the floor by and did not return to action for the remainder of the game.

“It was a little difficult, but that just means everyone has to step up around him,” Bryant said about playing without Davis.

“Including me, James and everyone else on the team.

We just have to step up that much more.”

After the injury, Bryant went on a tear on the

For the fifth consecutive year, IU will head west to begin its nonconference tournament schedule.

The Hoosiers will participate in the Kajikawa Classic, a three-day tournament at Arizona State. IU will play five games against five different opponents while in Tempe, Arizona, with doubleheaders Friday and Saturday.

Tournament play starts Friday with a rematch against No. 24 Fresno State. The Bulldogs are 5-0 all time against the Hoosiers with a 7-0 win in last year’s Kajikawa Classic.

IU Coach Michelle Gardner said the way the team plays against Fresno State will set the tone for the rest of the season.

“I want them to compete and win the game,” Gardner said. “Obviously we need to play clean defense and find a way to score runs.”

Gardner said sophomore pitcher Tara Trainer and freshman catcher Bella Norton will start against the Bulldogs.

Trainer figures to feature prominently for IU this season after a freshman year in which she recorded 183 strikeouts, the most ever for an IU freshman.

Norton, along with junior transfer Shayna Gamm, will vie for the starting catcher position after the graduation of last year’s starter Kelsey Dotson.

Despite the change behind the plate, Trainer said

she feels comfortable with both catchers heading into the season.

“There might be a little bit of a transition with there being new faces,” Trainer said. “But they’ve done fine adjusting and I’ve done fine adjusting to them.”

While Trainer compiled a 12-13 record last season with a 3.20 ERA as IU’s main starter, Gardner said she wants the sophomore to show more control this season.

“I’m looking for her to work ahead and compete,” Gardner said. “She’s a pitcher that has the potential to dominate.”

That record needs improving if they want to return to postseason play.

In particular, Saturday’s doubleheader against No. 18 Utah and Arizona State will test IU, which has a combined all-time record of 2-9 against those teams.

Entering her final season, Tsirigos said this year’s team has bought in and is looking to constantly improve each game.

“We’ve really started to believe in ourselves,” Tsirigos said. “We always had this idea of where we wanted to go, but I think we finally clicked and realized that we’re a very good team, and we just need one or two balls to go our way and we’re in the game with anybody.” phase and move on to the next.

Senior infielder CaraMia Tsirigos said the team feels it can improve its record against ranked teams this season.

“This year we want to not only be in the game with them but to take the game away from them as well,” Tsirigos said. “The goal is to beat those big teams because we know we can.”

IU had several close calls against ranked opponents, like No. 3 Auburn, against which IU lost in extra innings after jumping out to a 7-0 lead, last season. Overall, the Hoosiers went 2-10 against

offensive end of the court.

He immediately hit a 3-pointer to give the Hoosiers the lead back and was five of five from the field to start the second half.

The little things haunted IU in this loss and with two minutes to play in a two-point game, Blackmon missed a box-out leading to an easy two points for Purdue, which put them up four.

Purdue controlled the rest of the game from that moment. With 44 seconds to play and IU down five, one official called a charge on Bryant in the paint while another called a block on Swanigan.

The officials talked it over and called it a double foul. Both Swanigan and Bryant fouled out and the Hoosiers were laid to rest missing out on a large opportunity at home.
