Firefighters owed thousands in back pay for overtime By Dominick Jean drjean@indiana.edu | @Domino_Jean
As the holiday season approaches and parents are buying their children gifts, Bloomington firefighters will be receiving long-awaited overtime payments. The Bloomington Fire Department is owed $235,000 in back pay for overtime over the past two years. The discrepancy was recently discovered after a lengthy audit and investigation by Fire Chief Jason Moore and the City of Bloomington, Attorney Michael Rouker said. Until recently, BFD was paid on a fluctuating work week system. The City of Bloomington turned to a fluctuating work week after the federal government advocated it as the best means to pay city employees like firefighters. However, that system is no longer usable. The fluctuating work week is designed so that the more hours worked, the less is paid per hour, and the fewer hours worked, the more is paid per hour. A firefighter who worked 60 hours in a week would be paid less per hour than one who worked 40 hours. “Many fire departments around the country were provided the same advice, and many began paying overtime accordingly,” Mary Catherine Carmichael, Bloomington communications director, said in a city press release Nov. 22. Rouker said a firefighter brought the issue to the attention of the city earlier this year because he had not received the correct amount of pay for his overtime. One hundred twelve firefighters were affected by the discrepancy and are owed different amounts ranging from approximately $80 to $2,000. Two firefighters were overpaid but will not have to pay anything back to Bloomington. Bloomington Police Capt. Steve Kellams said BPD experienced a similar, if less drastic, situation a few years ago when he was a lieutenant. Kellams said the overtime payment system is based off the Fair Labor Standards Act, and it can cause problems for people. “They have the ability to get overtime,” Kellams said. “But it’s really complicated.” Rouker agreed, calling the system complex. After a lengthy investigation, BFD said in a Nov. 22 news conference that a new payment system had been implemented and should prevent the same problems from arising in the future. Rouker confirmed this and said the new system is working well. “It’s functioning perfectly,” Rouker said. “We will be paying the correct amount moving forward.” The new system takes a 28-day period instead of a week-by-week approach to determine overtime. If a firefighter works enough hours to qualify for overtime in that 28-day period, then they receive back pay. While Bloomington is only liable to pay for the last two years of overtime, the problem may have happened years before and gone unnoticed until now. “It’s really tricky,” Rouker said. “It’s impossible to pinpoint a moment.” The fire department in Chicago experienced a similar problem with its fluctuating work week system recently, Rouker said. Compared to Bloomington, Chicago has a lot more firefighters and resources, but it was still blindsided by the changes. Rouker said the FLSA rules are developed through the court system and Bloomington is going to have to try and keep an eye on changing developments in the labor laws. “We’ll have to be diligent about auditing ourselves,” Rouker said.

Out for revenge No. 13 Hoosiers take on No. 3 North Carolina tonight at home By Zain Pyarali | zpyarali@iu.edu | @ZainPyarali
IU men’s basketball knows what it’s in for Wednesday night when No. 3 North Carolina visits Bloomington for the ACC/Big Ten Challenge with tip-off at 9:15 p.m. The Tar Heels ended the Hoosiers’ season during the Sweet Sixteen in the NCAA Tournament a year ago and have shown no signs of slowing down since then. North Carolina has steamrolled its competition to begin the 2016-17 campaign. It has won its first seven games by an average
of 27 points and won the Maui Invitational. IU’s upset overtime loss to Fort Wayne last Tuesday, which caused the team to drop 10 spots in the latest AP Top 25 poll to No. 13, adds even more fuel to the fire that was burning from last season’s Tournament loss. Sophomore forward Thomas Bryant said IU thinks about the loss to North Carolina but knows the Hoosiers have to stay poised when going up against the Tar Heels. “Carolina is obviously a tremendous program, and they’re having a great season,” IU Coach Tom Crean said. “When you
watch them play on film, knowing how Roy coaches, knowing how they play and what type of season they had last year, they look even better to me.” Both the Hoosiers and Tar Heels have two of the most potent offensives in the country. IU averages more than 88 points a game, and North Carolina is scoring nearly 93 points per contest. North Carolina’s offensive efficiency is third in the country according to KenPom.

WIUX prepares to move into Franklin Hall By Emily Miles elmiles@iu.edu | @EmilyLenetta
Before the WIUX town hall meeting began Tuesday night in the Global and International Studies Building auditorium, board members sang and joked. They talked about 2014, the last time the station had to relocate. As station members filed in, the volume rose. The upcoming move, into an exclusive Media School space, will be different. When IU administration sent an email in October asking general manager Brian Berger how he felt about moving, he said he was shocked. Though the current house was always meant to be temporary, he did not yet know the University would make WIUX relocate in the summer. However, after a few meetings with Media School representatives, his fears dissipated. According to an initial design proposed by IT director Joey Miller, the new WIUX home would have two studios, a production room, a directors’ office and a living space only accessible by student IDs associated with the station. “I’m sure we’re going to plaster the place with posters,” Berger said. “I think the look and feel of WIUX is going to be similar.”
It will be smaller, but he said that will only bring people closer together. “It’s the people and our content that make WIUX what it is, regardless of if we’re in a house or we’re in a studio in the Media School,” public relations director Annie Skertic said. “It’s still going to be the organization it’s been for the past 50-plus years. That’s not changing.” IU student radio began more than 50 years ago in Wright Quad, as WQAD, and in Foster Quad, as WFQR. The largest carrier-current, student-owned, commercial campus radio station in the world was born in 1967, when the two stations merged. Its name was WIUS, and it resided in what is now the Mathers Museum. Arson destroyed that home in October 1972, and it operated in the mean time from spare studios in IU Radio and Television Service and in the old Wright Quad facilities. The student radio station settled just two blocks from the old WIUS house on Eighth Street during spring break 1973. From there, WIUS would see the transition from carrier-current AM to cable to openair AM to FM. IU student radio handled a period of funding so low that rooms

were rented out as student apartments, organized the first Culture Shock music festival in 1986, and received national recognition in the 2000s under the new call letters WIUX. Student radio was asked to move again in 2014, this time just one block west to 715 E. 8th Street. There was a town hall meeting then, too, Skertic said. “They were in that house for like 40 years,” Skertic said. “But this is
only our third year in this house. So this is my WIUX home. It’s been my WIUX home for three years, but for those people, I think it was more of an institution at that point.” Lightning struck the current station house and damaged equipment in summer 2015, but that school year WIUX still would win best college radio station, best website and best public service SEE WIUX, PAGE 6
Atlanta-based band to play the Bishop tonight By Katie Chrisco kchrisco@ius.edu | @katiechrisco
A Canadian garage rock duo that also mixes doo-woop and punk will take their fall tour to Bloomington. The King Khan and BBQ Show will perform at 9:30 tonight at the Bishop with the Gartrells, a rock group from Atlanta. While the King Khan and BBQ Show have been playing as a group since 2002, The Gartrells are a newly formed band. So new, in fact, that
singer Jared Swilley said he doesn’t remember when the group formed, just that he knew he wanted to form a band with guitarist Rod Hamdallah. “I saw Rod one day in Atlanta and he had a pompadour and so I asked him if he wanted to start a rockabilly band,” Swilley said. “Me and my brother and John Kang kind of formed into playing with Rod because of his haircut.” Swilley said the group formed from band members’ other proj-
ects, such as the Black Lips and the Legendary Shack Shakers, and their tour with the King Khan and BBQ Show is their first. The Gartrells’ self-titled EP was released online on its Bandcamp in September, but Swilley said the hard copies of the EP were officially released Nov. 29. Hamdallah said MP3 files of the songs are available via Bandcamp, and the actual 7-inch records will be finished and ready for sale at the show tonight. Hamdallah said the band will
perform a set of original songs at the Bishop, with the exception of one cover. While the new EP only has four tracks, Swilley said the band has a good deal of other material. “We wrote a bunch of other songs,” Swilley said. “We’re kind of coming into fruition as a band on this tour, so it’s really a very new thing.” Although Swilley said he and the other band members are busy, the SEE BISHOP, PAGE 6

Students compose letters to Ramsey Orta By Bailey Cline baicline@iu.edu | @baicline
Members of the Black Graduate Student Association and the National Association of Black Journalists gathered Tuesday for a mass meeting to discuss policing and write letters to Ramsey Orta, the man behind the camera in the Eric Garner video. Eric Garner was killed after being held to the ground by a police officer in New York City. “I felt the need to write letters to him to let him know someone still cares,” said Taylor Hurt, president of the NABJ. Kevin Lewis, community service chair of the BGSA, began the night with a history of policing in the United States. Slavery lasted from about 1620 to about 1865, Lewis said. Slave patrols began in 1704. These groups monitored and enforced discipline on slaves. In some states, slaves were required to provide verification if they were found away from their homes, Lewis said. “White people were very scared of black people,” Lewis said. “They needed a way to control them and make sure they weren’t going to revolt.” Lewis compared this historical practice to modern day racial profiling by police officers. “That’s the same thing that happened with the
slave patrols,” Lewis said. “Some people may view this as far-fetched, but I’m seeing the ways in which history repeats.” Lewis then discussed the Reconstruction and Jim Crow periods, which spanned from 1865 to 1964. He said while black people had legal rights, they were still discriminated against. “We were promised our 40 acres and mule, and we did not get that,” Lewis said. “Our bodies were still being criminalized because we were still viewed as property.” Lewis said this ideology and discrimination was manifested as the Ku Klux Klan. Hurt talked about the Black Panthers and the ways members of the group were targeted, including fabricating evidence and even assassination. When discussing modern day policing, Hurt asked, “Do black people need a completely separate police force, and what does that look like?” The group had mixed answers. Some believed it would be beneficial, and others thought it might not be. Junior Keenan Rhodes said he believed having a police force is not a necessity. “We live in a society that bases a lot of things off individual success,” junior Keenan Rhodes said. “Black collective thought has been destroyed by American individualistic society.”

Juniors Eryicka Wesley and Tierra Brown discuss what to write in their letters to Ramsey Orta, the man who filmed the Eric Garner video, at the National Association of Black Journalists and Black Graduate Student Association meeting Tuesday night.
After the history discussion, Hurt briefly talked about video rights. Filming the police is legal, Hurt said. On private property, it depends on the property owner’s wishes. In a public space, it is legal to record police officers as long as it is not interfer-
ing with their work. Police officers are not allowed to ask to view or confiscate a video without a warrant and deleting a video is out of the question. Hurt brought up Garner and the man, Orta, who filmed his murder. After he shared the video, Orta was
arrested for several felony charges, and Lewis said he believes Orta and his family were targeted. “You would think that some people view him as like a citizen journalist for his actions,” Lewis said. “You would think he would be awarded for bringing
light to these things.” Lewis passed around blank sheets of paper to the group for them to write letters to Orta, who is currently serving four years in prison. “There are people out here who are thinking about him and who empathize,” Hurt said.
IUSA Congress rejects Safety Escort expansion bill By Chris Mura cmura@indiana.edu | @chris__mura
The IU Student Association Congress failed to pass a resolution Tuesday that would have potentially bolstered the IU Safety Escort service and worked with IU Police Department to create a service that would allow police officers to walk students home during the service’s hours of operation. Several Congress members said they were concerned the resolution did not include any concrete action besides a monthly update from the committee on its progress. Some said it could flounder and be forgotten about because the committee had not yet contacted Safety Escort organizers. Under the resolution, IUSA would have worked with the Office of Student Affairs and Culture of Care to add more cars to the Safety Escort fleet and employ more drivers. They cited student wait times of an hour or more for a car as a reason for the
resolution and planned to model the updated program after similar safety services at other Big Ten schools. “It acts as a Band-Aid,” said Justice Eiden, who presented the bill on behalf of the Student Relations committee. “It’s kind of useless. If someone feels like they can’t get home safely and they’re looking for a ride and the service takes an hour plus to get to them, why use it?” Representatives on other committees who had worked with Safety Escort services in past years said administrators had resisted expanding the number of cars even when offered three times the budget. Some said they felt services are currently inadequate and were willing to vote on the bill in the hopes of amending a more concrete plan of action later. Rebekah Molasky said IU services were lacking compared to the ride services from her freshman year at Clemson University. “The fact that IU, with
40,000 students, doesn’t have it is ridiculous,” Molasky said. “Paying out-of-state tuition, this should be provided to us. Our number one goal is safety.” Other representatives said they felt it was a duty to pass bills that would benefit the student body and could be revised rather than vote them down and forget about the issue. “Right now, our two options are to pass a bill that are going to hold us accountable to do this or we don’t and who knows what will happen,” George Pearcy, IUSA Congress parliamentarian, said. The bill failed to pass with 15 votes in favor and 17 votes against. Pearcy also brought forward a resolution that would work with Protect IU, the dean of students and several cultural centers to develop more comprehensive resources for reporting and recovering from hate crimes. The resolution would work to create programs sim-

ilar to other Big Ten schools’ resources and could potentially include things like a list of all hate crime reports from IU records and the Bloomington Police Department and a peer mentorship pro-
gram for those who had been victim to a hate crime. Like the previous resolution, representatives said they were concerned about lack of a concrete action plan because few cultural centers
had been contacted before the bill was brought to a vote. The bill was tabled with no vote until it could be amended to include responses from student groups and the administration.
College Republicans elect chairperson By Lydia Gerike lgerike@umail.iu.edu | @lydi_yeah
Sophomore Reagan Kurk, newly elected chairperson for College Republicans at IU, lived a life connected to politics from the day she was born. Named after Ronald Reagan, she said she plans to continue to follow a passion that began when she was a young girl whose parents would talk to her about everything from policy to presidents. “I remember being four years old and running around with American flags,” Kurk said. Although she grew up in a conservative household and has always identified as a Republican, Kurk said her parents taught her to focus on overall political engagement rather than enforcing party values. Her mother ran for office when she was younger, but it was a nonpartisan experience because school board candidates do not run under a party. Former chairman and senior Brian Gamache said Kurk is the first sophomore to be elected as chair as far back as he knows, but he is not concerned about how she or her similarly young executive team will do. “I’m 100 percent confident
they’ll just grow it,” Gamache said. “They’ll take what we did last year and just blow it out of the water.” Kurk said she ran for chairperson because she wanted what was best for the IU College Republicans and other members convinced her she was the one who could move the club in the direction they wanted. Her goal as chair is to help others find internships and form connections in the political world. “It’s less about what I can do as chair and more about seeing what the club can do together,” Kurk said. “I just make sure the trains run on time.” Kurk’s relationship with College Republicans began before Kurk was a student at IU. The summer before her freshman year, Kurk decided to fly to Washington, D.C., and stay with a relative she had never met to learn more about politics, she said. When she met with the office of then-Rep. Todd Young, R-Indiana, Gamache was on staff as an intern, and Gamache said he talked with Kurk about bringing the drive she showed in Washington back to College Republicans. “I was impressed by the precociousness she showed there,” Gamache said.

Sophomore Reagan Kurk has been elected as chairperson for IU College Republicans for the coming year. Kurk’s history with College Republicans began the summer before her freshman year when she met former chairperson Brian Gamache in Washington, D.C.
He said he believes Kurk’s connections with Republican candidates, like senator-elect Todd Young, state offices and the Indiana Republican Party will help the College Republicans flourish now that the presidential election is over. Gamache is no longer able to serve as chairman because of the way the organization runs its elections. The chairperson for IU’s chapter of College Republicans is elected in November, a week after official Election Day, Gamache said. The chair then serves until a week after Election Day the next year. This election process differs from the typical timeline used by IU clubs and other
College Republicans chapters, but it works well for IU College Republicans’ goals, Gamache said. As part of their own campaigns, students show their worth based on the work they did for the campaigns they volunteered with during election season. Kurk said she hopes to work with everyone to create a broader civil discussion instead of only making decisions based on Republican ideals. “I use that label, and I’m confident in that label, but at the same time, I don’t want to be isolated in that label because we lose the democratic values our country is based on,” Kurk said.

Cost of age Bloomington senior citzens struggle to make ends meet while living below the poverty line
LEAH CARTER | IDS
Gudrun Ferguson said she spends most of her time either knitting blankets or doing crossword puzzles alone.
By Leah Carter leahfc94@gmail.com | @the_leah_carter
Teddy bears and cuckoo clocks line the walls of Gudrun Ferguson’s small living room, where the 73-year-old blonde-haired German immigrant says she spends most of her days alone, knitting blankets or working on crossword puzzles. Gudrun is one of the more than 4,590,000 people older than the age of 65 nationwide who are considered to be living below the federal poverty line. That line is drawn at $11,880 annual income, or just $990 a month for a one person household. Gudrun receives $695 a month in social security benefits. After she pays $457 for her rent, $90 for her cable and telephone bills, and the rest for car insurance, life insurance and utilities she only has $15 left. Although she uses her small savings account to compensate for the expenses that social security cannot cover, Gudrun is still unable to pay for everything, including air conditioning, medications and car repairs, that she needs to live comfortably. As the baby boomers age and the cost of healthcare and living expenses rise, the number of elderly people who cannot pay for basic necessities is quickly increasing both in Monroe County and the United States. According to United States Census Bureau data, the number of individuals more than 65 years old living below the official poverty line is up by more than a million since 2009. Seniors are considered to be an at-risk population. Seniors are one of the most vulnerable groups of people in terms of food security and housing, according to Tim Clougher, the assistant director of Monroe Community Kitchen. Elderly people face several challenges making ends meet and accessing the social services that can help them due to mobility,
health problems or social isolation. Even those who have jobs can slip into the grips of poverty. Steven Murphy, a 62-year-old panhandler, was evicted from his apartment last October after he wasn’t able to pay rent for two months in a row. His wife, Rosie, fell and broke her leg a few months before their eviction. After she was hospitalized, she was forced to quit working in order to heal properly, which meant the couple had half of the income they depended on. Steven called friends and family to borrow the money he needed to pay their rent but couldn’t get the money in time. “I got the money to pay, and just as I was walking up with it the sheriff came up and served the eviction notice,” he said. He disputed the eviction in court but lost. “Some of them tell you ‘get a job,’ but I got a job so that don’t help much,” he said. He works part time at a Kroger on the west side of town and has to take the bus each day to get there. When he is not working at Kroger, Murphy stands on Kirkwood Avenue and begs for money with a cardboard sign. He said he hopes to save enough money so he and his wife can get their own place again. Despite the rise in seniors in need, organizations like the Area 10 Agency on Aging, which provides services such as emergency health care and housing assistance, have not been able to compensate for the quick increase in the number of people who need their services. Some clients are even wait-listed after requesting assistance. In addition, not having the physical ability to access the organizations means people are not always able to eat, even when they need food. “What it ends up meaning is that they just skip meals,” said Stephanie Solomon, the director of education and outreach at Mother Hubbard’s Cupboard food pantry. Some also simply don’t know how to access or contact those services.
Two women arrested with meth, pills From IDS reports
Two women were arrested on warrants and possession of drugs in a routine traffic stop Monday night. Bloomington Police Officer Andy Fosnaugh pulled over their vehicle at approximately 11:30 p.m. for driving on the wrong side of the road on the bypass leading to highways 45 and 46. When Officer Fosnaugh approached their vehicle, one woman, Amber TemplemanSparks, immediately told him she did not have her license and there was a warrant out for her arrest. BPD Capt. Steve Kellams said Templeman-Sparks repeatedly lied to police about her identity and also the identity of the other woman, Terri Daniels, who was pretending to be asleep. TemplemanSparks said she did not know who Daniels was or what she was doing in the vehicle. As police searched the vehicle they discovered syringes, plastic bags and at least 9 grams of methamphetamine located in the passenger seat.
After the search, Templeman-Sparks assured police she had no more drugs and was taken to Monroe County Jail. While being processed into the jail, Daniel was searched and law enforcement found marijuana, pills and an unknown white substance in addition to the drugs found earlier in the vehicle. Daniels had hidden these items within her vagina, and they fell out during the search. She told police she had forgotten about them, Kellams said. The drugs found at the jail added an additional trafficking charge for Daniels to go along with her arrest warrant and charges of possession of marijuana and methamphetamine. Templeman-Sparks was charged with possession of methamphetamine and is being held for other jurisdiction. Both suspects are currently in the Monroe County Jail. Dominick Jean
“When you get to that level of limited resources, housing, food, medical care and all of those basic things that we all need to live and thrive become hard to access. Seniors are a population that is incredibly under-served.” Stephanie Solomon, the director of education and outreach at Mother Hubbard’s Cupboard food pantry.
For many seniors the best way to reach out to the services is through word of mouth or paper advertisements because many seniors do not have computers or cannot access the internet to find the services which they need. “Although phone books are becoming obsolete, for some people using the phone book is all they know,” Tim Clougher said. Many people also see their pension plans reduced when the factories and companies that they worked for move out of the area or downsize. “People had retirement plans with the companies, but once they left, their retirement plans did too,” Clougher said. Companies like RCA, Otis Elevator and Thompson were major employers in the area and provided large retirement packages to many of their workers until they moved away. Just as the Murphy couple lost its housing because Rosie could not work, Gudrun Ferguson sacrifices health care to pay for rent and food. After being laid off from two long-term jobs and being mistreated by her manager at Goodwill, Ferguson decided to retire last year. Now, she has lived with chronic pain for the past two years because she says that the necessary pain medications would cost her $90 a month, even with insurance. She visited a pain management center in 2014 to seek treatment for the back problems she had as a result of her late husband’s physical abuse. She was hospitalized many times over the course of their marriage for two broken ribs and
a punctured lung, among other injuries, and was never able to reach a full recovery. However, her pain only got worse after the doctor botched an injection in her sciatic nerve. In addition to the back pain, she now feels pain in her leg every day, which she said was a result of the injection. “The doctor came in and just did it without saying anything,” Gudrun said. “I thought it was a shot for the pain.” She no longer wants to pursue pain management because she is fearful of another bad experience in addition to the extra expenses. Now instead of paying for treatment, Gudrun said she prays the pain will not get worse. The fillings and tooth extraction she needs were also put on hold because she doesn’t have dental insurance and doesn’t have the money to pay the $1500 out of pocket. “I’m 73. I’m doing just fine. I don’t need to pay no partial. I may die next week, who knows. I’m not worried about dying,” she said. The repairs her car needs would also cost her $120, which would put her over her budget. She used to go to church every Sunday, but now she only goes on days when it isn’t raining out because she has to walk there and cannot afford to fix her car. “When you get to that level of limited resources, housing, food, medical care and all of those basic things that we all need to live and thrive become hard to access,” Solomon said. “Seniors are a population that is incredibly under-served.”
Little Makers brings stories to life By Katelyn Haas haask@indiana.edu | @khaas96
Dozens of tiny mini dragons ascended upon the Monroe County Public Library on Tuesday afternoon. Little Makers, the library’s open-ended art experience program for toddlers and parents, made dragons out of paper, cotton balls and other materials for the children to retell dragon stories they had previously heard during the library’s other program, Tuesday Tales. Christina Jones, community engagement librarian at MCPL, said the library encourages parents to get involved with their children during the program. She said Little Makers gets between 50 and 80 people each week. “A priority for us is to set up experiences that preschoolers and parents do together, so parents don’t just leave the preschoolers in the room and we make a craft,” Jones said. “We know that helps them build language skills and vocabulary skills.” Kylene Nungesser said she brings her daughter Palmer to Little Makers almost every Tuesday. She said she likes bringing her there and getting new books for the week as well. “I think she likes the stories being read to her and
the animation of the libraries,” Nungesser said. “And she loves craft time.” Jones has worked with the library for 15 years. She said Little Makers was originally planned to be more literacy-based, giving writing prompts and focusing on learning shapes and letters. But the library saw a larger need for art-based programs, so Little Makers evolved into an openended art experience four years ago. Kelly Jordan, senior information assistant at MCPL, said the program is more process-driven than product-driven. She said a few weeks before Little Makers did a copper wire craft, and the children created different variations of sculptures with little instruction. “They’re full of a sense of potential for materials already,” Jordan said. “We sort of start materials first toward form, and then attempt to attach language to what they’ve done as one of the later steps.” She said for the dragon craft done Tuesday, there was an additional interactive quality, breathing through it to make certain parts of the dragon move to create a fire effect. “I think of it as visual literacy that’s in tandem with language as well,” Jordan

said. “That would be a playbased outcome to encourage, play being one of those early literacy components so they could do imaginative play when they get home.” Jones said these types of crafts help make the program a learning experience as well as an art experience. The toddlers are given starting materials for each craft and can come up with variations of the model they are given to what they want to make. “We acknowledge that children are meaning makers and knowledge seekers,” Jones said. “So we set it up for them to make their own meaning and their own knowledge.” Jordan said she always is excited to see the chil-
dren’s faces when she shows them what they are about to make. “They usually sort of light up,” Jordan said. Little Makers is in the main children’s program room in the main library. Children can come in to the library Tuesdays from 10:45 to 11:30 a.m. It is open to toddlers and their parents. She said there is never a set craft that is made with the materials the children are given. They always want to show her what they’ve made. “They’re extremely inventive,” Jordan said. “They usually come up with a lot of variations, and it’s pretty exciting to see what they’ve made. And they always hug us, which we love.”

The government of President Michel Temer is desperate to pull South America’s largest economy out of its worst recession in 25 years, but when austerity measures gutting the country’s education, pension and health care programs were announced, millions took to the streets in resistance. Though protests by the country’s trade unions were unsurprising, the takeover of the nation’s schools in early October took Temer’s government by surprise. The youth, once consid-
ered politically inactive in Brazil, have turned the occupation into a triumph of collective action. Students are now running their own classes, library and lunch program, and all signs show that the students plan to hold out indefinitely. “You learn more about politics in a week of occupying a school than in years of regular classes,” said one 19-year old student. “Now young people know they can force change.” In 2010, Brazil seemed unfazed by the global recession, with a growth rate that year of 7.5 percent. ThenPresident Dilma Rousseff of the Worker’s Party enjoyed a high level of popularity, and Brazil was set to be the first
South American country to host the Olympic Games. Yet, the arrival of the Olympics to Brazil marked the beginning of the trouble. The economy shrank 3.8 percent in 2015 and corruption was running rampant throughout the entire government. A bribery scandal at the state-run oil company Petrobas had sunk Rousseff ’s presidency, and in March of 2016, her approval ratings were at 10 percent. The Brazilian parliament then impeached Rousseff, and when the even more corrupt Temer took office, many viewed him as an illegitimate president and a pawn of the United States. When diplomatic cables published by WikiLeaks
showed Temer was a longtime informant for U.S. intelligence, this view was solidified. Many Brazilians now view Rousseff ’s ouster as an undemocratic coup. Since taking power, Temer’s government has proven to be magnificently corrupt. Last week, it was revealed that Temer himself had tried to push a construction project that one of his close allies would have profited from. The opposition is now discussing potential impeachment. Considering the corruption at the heart of Brazilian politics, the anger of the country’s students is even more justifiable. Too often is necessary social spending first on the chopping block
whenever a government must save itself from its own malfeasance. Experts say that Brazil’s spending on the Rio Olympics could top $20 billion. This wild amount of spending undoubtedly fueled the country’s budget crisis. In the days before the games, Rio police were going unpaid for weeks at a time, and 20 percent of Rio’s population lived in dilapidated favelas. Couple this with the fact most of Rio’s Olympic facilities are now completely deserted, and popular resistance becomes a certainty. The struggle of Brazil’s students should seem an all too familiar one. Since the Great Recession, govern-
ments have increasingly engaged in damaging austerity cuts, choosing to have their population foot the bills so those that wield financial and political power don’t have to sacrifice. Ours is a system that privatizes profit and socializes risk. At the first sign of an economic downturn, politicians instinctually decide to make the people pay. This achieves two things: it diminishes the economic security of the population and gives private industry an unlimited supply of tax dollars. The students of Brazil need to fight on. We all need to whenever we are threatened with unfair austerity measures.

NASA needs to get its shit together, and it’s looking for your help When we think of the brightest minds and the sharpest ideas, we often think of NASA. I mean, they helped put a man on the moon for Pete’s — or Neil’s — sake. There is one thing the brains at NASA cannot quite figure out: how can astronauts poop in their suits without having to sit in it for too long? Poop, pee, menstruate, whatever. The point is NASA does not know, and they are asking the whole world for help, and the whole world is getting really excited.
The organization has developed a contest called the Space Poop Challenge, and it calls on all innovators to come up with an idea for how to implement a waste-management system that is completely hands-free and works in a space suit. In zero gravity, of course. The tall order gets a whole lot taller when you consider the fact that gravity is what pulls your — ahem — waste away from your body. Traditionally, astronauts have just worn extremely absorbent adult diapers while they are in
their suits, but sitting in a dirty diaper long enough can cause rashes and life-threatening infections. Other stipulations for the innovative solution are it must take less than five minutes to implement, must be able to fit in small spaces and must be usable for men and for women of varying shapes and sizes. NASA has said some future missions may require up to five days in a space suit. Side note: that little prophecy is cool and exciting and scary. That’s a long time to sit in your
own stuff. The Space Poop Challenge has a $30,000 prize for the individuals with the winning solutions. The prize money and extremely strange — yet necessary — nature of this challenge has caused a lot of people to form teams to work together to innovate answers. A scroll through the Space Poop Challenge website shows a blog and forum for teams to ask and answer questions for each other. While it is silly to think about all of these people from
across the country and the globe bonding over literal feces, it’s also sort of nice. This year has been divisive as hell, and here is a goofy and peculiar — and gross — yet challenging and urgent issue that most everyone can take interest in. After all, everyone poops. We are united in our excrement. Also, the distinct nature of NASA’s problem can stimulate excitement about its current and future missions. Since being federally defunded, NASA has fallen out of the spotlight in terms of current events.

So, thanks, NASA, for bringing everyone together over your extremely weird space suit issue. Also, thanks, everyone, for putting aside your differences to focus on what really matters: saving astronauts from sitting in their own poop. meickhof@indiana.edu @maggie_eickhoff
STEVE’S CONSERVATIVE CORNER
A number of Trump’s cabinet appointments give reason for optimism Some of Trump’s cabinet selections have quelled my fears about the administration’s direction, and, on the other hand, some haven’t. Positive appointments include former RNC chairman Reince Priebus as White House Chief of Staff, Ben Carson as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley as United Nations ambassador and Rep. Mike Pompeo, R-Kansas, as CIA director. Priebus is a great choice for White House chief of staff.
Obviously, president-elect Trump feels he can trust Priebus after his campaign worked closely with the RNC during the election cycle. Not only did Priebus help deliver Trump’s shock victory, but he helped deliver a very successful election cycle as a whole for the Republican Party, winning many key races down ballot. As an insider, he will aid Trump directly in his daily operation as president. I think Carson is a very positive selection as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. As someone
who grew up in poor conditions and then went on to be extremely successful, Carson understands the nuances necessary to mend the countless problems facing cities in our country today. Everyone knows that Carson is a brilliant man, and I cannot wait to see the progress he makes toward making the inner cities great again. Haley is yet another choice that has eased my fears of a Trump administration. When I think of someone who I want to represent the United States at the U.N. and on the world
stage, I would want it to be her. This position will afford her valuable foreign policy experience should she decide to run for higher officer later in her bright, young career. Pompeo as CIA director signals what the Trump administration is thinking for American security. Pompeo has a strong military background, as he attended the U.S. Military Academy and served in the Army as a captain for five years. In Congress, he has served on the House Intelligence Committee and the House
Select Committee on the 2012 Terror Attack on Benghazi. I think he will do an excellent job in his new role. These four picks specifically have made me more comfortable with the pending Trump administration. If selections continue in this vein, as they have with conservative school choice activist Betsy DeVos as Secretary of Education, I’ll continue to feel better. Trump has yet to unveil many other key appointments, such as Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, and Secretary of Homeland

Security. However, after these previous four selections, I feel better and less shocked than I did when he initially won. Hopefully, these men and women that he selects will succeed in their roles, and I think they will. The future of our country depends on it. staranyi@umail.iu.edu @TweetsByArayi

COLIN’S CORNER
Fidel Castro’s rise was partially a result of flawed US foreign policy Given the death of Cuban leader Fidel Castro, I decided to read up on him. I expected to find his life built on the ambition to become a power-hungry autocrat, but what I found was interesting. While Castro was unethical, dictatorial and violated human rights, his motives and ambitions were anything but. Though he was a radical, his infamy seems to result from his circumstances, not his aims. However, I don’t mean to venerate Castro. He had
glaring faults. What I want to focus on is United States’ intervention in Cuba and how it played a significant role in creating the Fidel Castro we love to hate. In this hatred, we tend to lose sight of the circumstances that caused his rise to power. In 1952, Fulgencio Batista, backed by the U.S., became dictator of Cuba. Radicals — including Castro — were able to gain popular support and felt vindicated in trying to overthrow the Cuban government. After this overthrow,
Castro did implement beneficial reforms to education and health care. Further, American distrust for the Soviet Union, and by extension socialist ideals further strained relations between Cuba and the United States. Now, I don’t mean whitewash or defend Castro. His actions were awful. Thousands of American refugees will testify to that. However, I wonder if, without the U.S. meddling in Cuban affairs, Castro wouldn’t have risen to pow-
er or Cuban reforms might have been more gradual. While it was the middle of the Cold War and the U.S. did need to defend its interests, perhaps it went too far. All these lead me to begin to question current U.S. foreign policy. Growing up I’ve always supported maintaining U.S. interests internationally, but in this case, it seems like rather than maintaining, the U.S. hampered democracies and supported autocrats who were aligned with American interests.
Given the near-constant coups — many of which are backed by the U.S. — in the Middle East, I’m starting to question current American policy abroad and whether or not our current drone strikes and regime-backing are any better than the red-fearing policies of the Cold War. First Bush in Iraq, next Obama in Libya and next Trump in Syria — or wherever else — I’m a bit irritated at our hypocrisy. We’ve created Batista, Castro, Saddam Hussein and ISIS, and

later we’ve denounced their horrible rule. Maybe the Libertarians are right. Maybe it is time to back off a bit, to stop supporting new regimes just because they’ll trade with us. It’s not our job to say who should lead other countries. So if the U.S. is the world’s police, it also seems to be having trouble with police brutality. ctdombro@indiana.edu
FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH
BUT THAT’S NOT MY BUSINESS
Qualify your praise of Fidel Castro
Christmas comes in many forms
Some venerated him as a near-holy figure and mourned his passing. Others saw it as a liberation from the gloomy shadow of nearly five decades of systemic oppression and failed policies. These were some of the responses to the death of former Cuban dictator Fidel Castro on Friday. No Google search could conceivably tell the whole story of Castro’s reign. Certainly, among most Americans, he is closely associated with the very antagonistic role he played in the U.S.’ shadow war against communism in the latter half of the 20th century. With just 103 miles separating the U.S. and Cuba, he was a very real threat to democracy. Vast numbers of Cubans fled the island to escape his blatant human rights violations. To others — perhaps in markedly fewer numbers — Castro was the beacon of antiimperialism, the lone brave soul willing to stand up to the U.S. His followers credit him with making Cuba great and cultivating the system that offers free health care and education to all. In reality, though, these assessments are much too shallow. To refer to Castro simply as a polarizing figure who had a huge effect on today’s
geopolitical and social climates while declining to take a stance regarding the ethical questions of his reign is to engage in a convenient but lazy analysis. Lost in the ocean of praise and admiration for the late Cuban dictator is the fact that Fidel Castro was just that — a brutal dictator. In the 1960s, Castro and his cronies rounded up gays, conscientious objectors of the revolution and followers of various religions and forced them into labor camps called UMAPs, or military units to aid production. He also deported American beat poet Allen Ginsberg, a homosexual, for fueling claims current Cuban President Raul Castro was gay. Let’s also not forget Castro’s complicity along another despot, Nikita Khrushschev, in the Cuban Missile Crisis, which nearly reached a catastrophic head. Nuclear war was narrowly avoided. Of course, the U.S.’ hands were not clean, but this is not intended to be a commentary on the politics of the Cold War. But Castro’s cavalier arrogance very nearly killed hundreds of thousands of people — quite possibly including those Cuban citizens Castro apologists so dotingly claim he made it

his mission to serve. We could spend days deliberating the philosophy of Castro’s communist agenda, but the fact remains that in practice, he was, generally, an enemy to many and a friend to the few who served his personal interests. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, whose father and former prime minister Pierre Trudeau was reported to be close friends with Castro, issued a statement that drew ire from members of the right. The statement, which expresses the deep sorrow Justin Trudeau felt following the death of a remarkable leader, is selective in its description of Castro’s regime. While Castro may have contributed to a few successful reforms, his policies have decimated the Cuban economy and forced innumerable people into poverty. If you choose to praise his work, don’t neglect to qualify your statements by acknowledging Castro for what he was — an unapologetic dictator. dkilcull@indiana.edu @daniel_kilc_
At dinner one night, a close friend of mine brought up a pretty interesting topic for discussion. She asked me if she should feel bad or guilty for celebrating Christmas even though she isn’t particularly religious. It got me thinking. I don’t follow any religion. I believe there may be something bigger and greater out there, but I am the type of person who loves facts, and I would love some science to back up my theories or others. I think believing in something and having faith in your own religion are absolutely great. In the course of this article, I will be stating my own views and I mean no disrespect to anyone out there by anything I say. Let’s start with the name of “Christmas.” The word isn’t in Scripture, so how did it originate at all? Well, Catholics coined the name. “Christ” for, well, the birth of Christ and “mas” for mass, the ceremony that takes place Christmas Eve. Onward to the giving of gifts. Why do we do it? Well, it’s to symbolize the gifts given to Jesus and his par-
ents by the three wise men. So is it really wrong for non-religious people to celebrate Christmas? I certainly don’t think so. Growing up in southern Indiana, I was raised by a non-religious family. We celebrated Christmas just as many others do across the country. We went to Gram’s house on Christmas Eve, had a dinner, and opened gifts and exchanged them. We played board games, and it really brought us all together during the holiday season. On Christmas morning, my brothers and sister and I woke up, usually opened gifts, had a nice breakfast and went back to bed. We treated Christmas more like a tradition than a religious holiday. I don’t see a single problem with celebrating Christmas as a tradition rather than a religious holiday or holy day. I think of Christmas as a type of grateful holiday, similar to Thanksgiving. I feel grateful for the people I have in my life, and therefore I give them something, a gift, to symbolize that. I think of Christmas as a holiday that brings my whole family together. The

miles that separate us don’t matter during the holiday season. Christmas, to me, is spending two whole days baking cookies and pies and desserts to enjoy through New Year’s. Christmas is the spirit of giving, not receiving. You can celebrate Christmas for so many different reasons. You can celebrate it to celebrate Jesus, or you can celebrate it because it was a family tradition whilst you were growing up. So how do you celebrate the big ol’ holiday? Do you go home to family? Do you bake some delicious cookies? Cuddle up with a puppy? It’s not my business what you do with your holidays or what you don’t do. However, I think we should all be accepting and gracious when dealing with how and why different people celebrate holidays. I hope everyone has a great holiday season! bnbauern@indiana.edu

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
The problem with Thanksgiving and the apathy of the West Corruption is not the cause of poverty in the third world. It is simply the people in those nations turning to horrible leaders in desperation. This situation is, in my opinion, very clearly due to European nations enslaving, colonizing, stealing natural resources and preventing the long time period needed to cultivate stable democracies through inevitable revolutions.
They’ve inhibited nations from building complete infrastructure until the 20th century and in a synergistic manner have created a huge gap in wealth, political stability and quality of life. In this global economy, investment is the key to accelerating the growth of an economy. As Western European countries and the United States have the most capital, invest in and trade with pri-
marily each other, and have shown no signs to make any major reparations or invest — at least for a couple of decades — heavily in the infrastructure of the nations they plundered, the gap will only widen and remain forever. Only the West helping to build the third world they created or war can make right what is easily the greatest evil in the history of the world. I truly hope that in my life the first happens and that the world can sur-
vive in the event of a major war over resources. In the name of progress, humanity lost its humanity. During Thanksgiving, we think of those who benefit from these crimes and at least want to help the descendants of the souls the West was built on. Are we thanking our ancestors or at least forefathers for us, more recent Americans, for the extreme brutality against Native Americans and destruc-
tion of their identities as peoples? Maybe we’re thanking the Native Americans for the help in understanding the land so that they could in turn be destroyed. Maybe I’m thanking them for making such a tolerant country that I fear for my life as a Pakistani-American when I forget to shave. I have this feeling only being exacerbated by the election of a man which shows just how little 47 per-
cent of the U.S. care about the historical and present injustices that came and come from racism. In ending this rant, I ask fellow Americans to think of this holiday as both a time to be thankful for what they have but also as an occasion to ponder what can be done to help the people who were run over by this nation and the West in general.

The Tar Heels boast five players that average double figures with junior guard Joel Berry leading the way with more than 17 points per game.

inspiration for the Gartrells, Swilley said when it comes to his own songwriting, there is no real rhyme, reason or method to it. “We just kind of come out and play what everyone’s ideas are,” Hamdallah said. “We just kind of mold everything together.” Swilley said the group is
excited to be on tour and is looking forward to spreading the word about the new band. He said it will be his first time in Bloomington and he doesn’t know what to expect personally, but the audience can count on a really great time. “We’ll play whatever kicks ass the most,” Swilley said.
and Kennedy Meeks lead the nation in offensive rebounding efficiency, and the battle on the boards could go a long way in result of Wednesday night’s game. “They go every time, and they cover the weak side board every time,” Crean said. “If we had clips to show our guys where they don’t then we’d show them, but we haven’t found any in the seven games that they’ve played and we have to make sure we’re there too.” IU is expected to get an added boost to its lineup because Crean said junior guard James Blackmon Jr. will be
available Wednesday night. Averaging a bit more than 20 points per game, Blackmon suffered a knee injury in the upset loss to Fort Wayne last Tuesday and missed Sunday’s matchup against Mississippi Valley State. Crean said Blackmon is healing and doing a little bit more every day. The nine-year head coach isn’t committing 100 percent to Blackmon being on the floor, but if he stays on his current rehab track, then he’ll be able to play. Blackmon and his fellow guards will be pressured early on offense by North Carolina, and five games into the
season, one of the Hoosiers’ biggest issues has been turnovers. That’s one aspect of the game the Tar Heels take advantage of very well. IU is averaging 18 turnovers per game, and North Carolina is forcing more than 15 a game on defense and turning those into 18 points per contest. North Carolina has forced opponents to turn the ball over 14 or more times on five different occasions so far this year. In those games, they’re scoring more than 23 points off turnovers, and the Tar Heels want to do just that
promotion in the Intercollegiate Broadcasting System awards. The station is always moving up despite its trials, web content director Mary Luncsford said. Current board members, DJs and committee members, congregating in the station house at all hours of day and night, would find themselves part of a family fostered by pure student radio. “One summer I was in between leases and basically living out of my car and crashing where I could, often times the station house,” Berger said in his staff bio. “From now on, WIUX will always be remembered as my homeless home.” Skertic said she remembers staying at the station house for the entirety of the most recent Pledge-a-thon. She had been sleeping upstairs where the B-Side online streaming studio and offices are. She came downstairs after 2 a.m. to find a dark living room. People slept on the slumping white loveseat and the long blue couch. The rocks Skertic had painted at Culture Shock years prior rested among dozens of concert posters. Through the meeting room and the kitchen, with its googly-eyed stove, through another two rooms of “I love WIUX because” against the Hoosiers. “If we continue to compete on the defensive end, that will take care of anything,” Berry said. “If we can stop them from scoring and be able to rebound the ball or get a steal and get out on the break, that’s what we want to do.” The 1981 IU team that defeated North Carolina for the National Championship will be honored at halftime Wednesday night. IU alumnus and World Series champion Kyle Schwarber will be an honorary captain for the game. Although North Caro-
signs and mismatched chairs, there was the 99.1 studio, where people were wide awake and blasting music. Production director Collin Thomas said Media School faculty have been cooperative in making sure those programs would still exist in the new Franklin Hall space. Skertic said she’ll always remember the front porch, sitting outside for hours, and talking with DJs she’d never met before and her best friends. Though the front porch won’t make the move, the people will. A freshman who attended the town hall meeting expressed concern that the homey vibe would change and the people would suffer. News director D’Angelo King turned to him and said the beauty of being a freshman is that he gets to make the new vibe. “I think people, especially seniors and people that have been involved with WIUX, are definitely going to miss the station house,” Berger said. “I know I will, but I think what’s going to change is going to be a different type of culture. I think the incoming students and the people who are new to WIUX are really going to be able to shape this new area and cultivate it to however they want it to be.” lina has played just two home games this year, North Carolina Coach Roy Williams said facing IU is a different animal, and Crean said it will be different for his own team as well. “It will be the first time these guys this season will play in an environment like this,” Crean said. “My greatest fear is keeping it simple and dealing with the pressure of their defense. Not the pressure of how big our crowd is — we need our crowd — but we’re not going to be in a situation of where we’re playing to the crowd. We need to play for each other.”

Top Once a student at IU, Janette Fishell said she enjoys teaching students in the Jacobs School of Music. Fishell is highly regarded by many of her students like first-year graduate student Yumiko Tatsuta, who is a student from Japan. Middle Chair of the organ department Janette Fishell helps first year gradnate student Yumiko Tatsuta with a piece on the organ Tuesday afternoon in the Jacobs School of Music.
The room where it happens The Department of Organ and Sacred Music Studies continues to provide a world-leading education. By Jesse Naranjo jlnaranj@indiana.edu | @jesselnaranjo
In an inconspicuous room on the top floor of the Music Annex building lies a pipe organ. To the outside world, this is a mere room, but it also happens to be where professor Janette Fishell gives lessons as chair of the Department of Organ and Sacred Music Studies, one of the most prestigious of its kind. In an email, she said her department is small relative to the rest of the music school, but compared to other institutions, it is one of the largest in the world. Every year 30 to 40 fulltime organ majors and several graduate students work on their transitions from students to professionals. “Like most organists, my first exposure to the pipe organ was at church, and I always knew that some combination of performing, teaching and sacred music would be my vocational calling,” Fishell said. Fishell said she enjoys a mix of undergraduate and graduate students because they learn from each other in different ways, varying on experience and repertoire. “This year in my studio we have four first-year students, so that bodes well for the health of our undergraduate student population,” Fishell said. “From a personal standpoint, I love teaching undergraduate students because one has the opportunity to help them with the most important part of their education — building the foundation of technique and musicianship that will undergird everything they will do for the rest of their careers.” Fishell may be preparing her students for successful career paths, but her task is equally to maintain one of the country’s, if not the world’s, largest and most accomplished sacred music departments. Organ students are required to learn and perform choral music, but they also take classes like C405: Organ Construction and Design, which give them insight into the instrument that they play, regardless of their skill level or time playing.
“We have many students who come from cultures or church backgrounds where the pipe organ is not part of the scene, and I think it is very cool that these students just feel in love with the organ as an instrument apart from any church music connotations.” Janette Fishell, chair of organ department
Students are required to take two years worth of sacred music studies classes as part of the curriculum. Fishell said this prepares them for the role of church music director, a popular career path for those who study organ performance. While most of the undergraduate students will go on to play in churches, Fishell said the department tries to expose them to varying cultures and media forms. “We have many students who come from cultures or church backgrounds where the pipe organ is not part of the scene, and I think it is very cool that these students just fell in love with the organ as an instrument apart from any church music connotations,” Fishell said. On the other hand, graduate students do not have to come from music-intensive backgrounds to succeed. One of the department’s new graduate students, Steven Smith, played
kicker for the football team at Heidelberg University. Yumiko Tatsuta, a first-year graduate student in the department, said like Fishell, she was introduced to organ music in a church. Tatsuta is a student from Japan, where she said organ music is not very prominent, but she was given the task of learning the instrument for her Catholic school’s chapel. She said she started playing piano at the age of three, but learning to play preludes and other organ pieces for her middle and high school mass services was still highly challenging. After practicing for a few years, she decided playing the organ was her desired career path. Tatsuta first met Fishell while she was studying in Stuttgart, Germany, and Fishell was on sabbatical. Tatsuta had already finished a master’s degree in Tokyo before going to Germany. The two, having been connected
by a mutual friend, exchanged emails previously, but actually meeting Fishell cemented one thing in Tatsuta’s mind: She needed to come to IU. “Unfortunately, in Japan this school is not very well known yet,” Tatsuta said. “It’s my wish to get more international students, especially from Japan, to come here.” Organ students meet individually with faculty to refine their craft, but Tatsuta said the studio class she takes with her fellow organ students every Tuesday is very beneficial to her learning. “It’s a time where we can all bring our own repertoire and share it by playing in front of everybody,” Tatsuta said. She said learning under Fishell is a privilege that cannot be found anywhere else in the world, and she added that the department itself also deserves recognition for the resources it provides for students. Tatsuta said the school she studied at in Stuttgart had about five organs on hand for students, a collection which was considered one of the larger organ collections in Europe. The Jacobs School of Music alone boasts ten practice organs, 16 including ones like those located in Alumni and Auer Halls. Tatsuta said she plans to pursue her doctorate once her English language test scores improve. In the future, she aspires to have a career similar to Fishell’s. She admires her mentor’s ability to balance her time between instruction and professional performance. Along with chairing the sacred musics department, Fishell manages to drive back and forth weekly between Bloomington and her church in Indianapolis to fulfill her role there as choir master and organist. “I wake up every day so appreciative that I am able to do all three of those things — teaching here, playing recitals in some exciting places and directing the choir and playing the organ at the Episcopal Church of All Saints in Indianapolis,” Fishell said.

THE FAULDS IN OUR STARS
Celebrities stand with Standing Rock and are an example for the rest of us Last Thursday, while families from across the United States gathered to share love, food and heated political debates, several thousand Native Americans and their supporters protested the injustices perpetrated against them by the North Dakota government due to the construction of the new Dakota Access Pipeline. Not only have members of the Standing Rock Oceti Sakowin tribe, better known as the Sioux, been fighting against the building of the pipeline, but various celebrities, such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Ruffalo and Pharrell Williams, have also voiced their support for abandoning the project. While there are benefits, such as lessening the amount of oil the United States imports, to the pipeline being constructed, it will have a disastrous and inhumane
effect on the Sioux. While the pipeline will not directly cut across their reservation, it will go under the Missouri River, the tribe’s main source of water and therefore contaminate it. In other words, the nation’s economic needs are being prioritized over those of indigenous people. It’s bad enough that we already stole their land. Now we have to crush what little of it they have left. In times like these, our country needs a hero, and while politicians have done very little to stop the pipeline’s construction, the stars of the upcoming “Justice League” film have used their celebrity influence to speak out against the pipeline’s construction. Ben Affleck, Ray Fisher, Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa and Ezra Miller, the stars of the DC superhero film, have filmed an endorsement for
Standing Rock Youth’s Rezpect Our Water campaign on change.org. “As a gang of earth defenders, we want to send a big shout out to the Oceti Sakowin and those who stand with them in opposing the Dakota Access Pipeline,” Miller said in the video. Katy Perry made a long statement on Instagram on Thanksgiving day discussing the importance of understanding and helping the Sioux during this time. “During this holiday and beyond, let us stand in solidarity with all those who are trying to protect it,” Perry said in the post. “I made a donation, and I hope you can too today.” Another way celebrities contributed to this cause was through a Standing Rock benefit concert in Washington, D.C. The concert featured artists Dave Matthews, Gra-
ham Nash, Neko Case and Ledisi. Even former Green Party presidential nominee Dr. Jill Stein fought against the government’s building of the pipeline during her campaign. “The Dakota Access Pipeline is vandalism on steroids,” Stein tweeted. She did more than tweet about it, however. An arrest warrant was issued for Stein after she spray-painted “I approve this message” on a bulldozer on the site. I may not have agreed with her policies, but that doesn’t mean I don’t respect her toughness. While the protests continued Thanksgiving, actress Shailene Woodley did a video interview with TYT Politics about the real carnage associated with the history of Thanksgiving and how treatment of Native Americans really hasn’t improved within the last
400 years. “Thanksgiving was founded on a massacre, and yet here we are with these cops with snipers with rubber bullets, and honest, I’m just sick of it,” Woodley said in the interview. “I’m sick of it.” Woodley has undoubtedly been the biggest celebrity voice against the government’s treatment of the Sioux. Last month on Indigenous Peoples’ Day, a day meant to celebrate and remember the natives in our land, the “Divergent” star was arrested on charges of criminal trespassing and engaging in a riot. Ten days later, she wrote a statement about her arrest for Time Magazine. It brought more awareness and understanding to how selfish our government has been toward Native Americans and how the pipeline could also affect non-Native Americans

in the long run. “Don’t let the automatic sink faucets in your homes fool you,” Woodley said in the statement. “That water comes from somewhere, and the second its source is contaminated, so is your bathtub, and your sink and your drinking liquid.” We cannot change the past atrocities we have performed on our country’s native peoples, but we will always have a chance to improve the conditions with which we left them. They have been in this land the longest, yet they are still the most mistreated minorities in the U.S. To stand with Standing Rock is to stand with your own humanity. afaulds@indiana.edu @a_faulds9615

GOTT TAKES
JAMES BENEDICT | IDS
Then-freshman center Thomas Bryant reaches for a dropped ball against North Carolina during the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament on March 25 in Philadelphia. IU will play UNC again tonight at 9:15 p.m. at Assembly Hall for the first time since the IU's loss.
IU basketball, the Cubs and beating demons “It’s tough. There’s a big pit in my stomach right now saying, ‘What if?” That is what IU alumnus Kyle Schwarber said in 2015 after the Chicago Cubs lost to the New York Mets in the National League Championship Series. It was painful. Chicago was eliminated, and then, in the next year, the team won its first World Series in 108 years. Schwarber will be in Assembly Hall this Wednesday as an honorary captain for the Hoosiers, and IU will have the same chance to make things right against the team that ended its season last year. North Carolina was better. There were no ifs, ands or buts. After 40 minutes
were through, the Tar Heels rightfully moved on to the Elite Eight. Ranked No. 3 in the nation, North Carolina is back near the top. The difference from last year is IU is deeper and a better overall team than the season prior. The influx of freshman has been crucial, but this game will come down to the stars and which of those playmakers make the shots. The trouble with that is IU has yet to play a great game. IU’s victory against Kansas was impressive but far from passable on most nights, especially against top teams. “The responsibility that they have to have for one an-
other, there’s no blueprint for it. It’s not like you just insert it,” IU Coach Tom Crean said Sunday after the victory against Mississippi Valley State. “We have to just continue to grow through that, and I think that we will, but I think we got better this week. We got better today.” In the upper echelon of potential, IU has seen moments of brilliance, but, on the other hand, there was that entire game against Fort Wayne. What the Hoosiers bring to the table is an uncanny ability to play to their opponent. A loss in this game early on in the season against a top-tier opponent is to be expected,
but a win in Assembly Hall could be a catalyst for the rest of the season. After a slow start in the 2015-16 season, it was the back-and-forth victory against Notre Dame in Bankers Life Fieldhouse that set IU down a Big Ten Championship path. A win against North Carolina could have the same type of resounding effect. A 3-point barrage is how the Tar Heels beat the Hoosiers last March, and it could be the deciding factor for IU to win Wednesday. Everyone on this IU squad, including sophomore big men Thomas Bryant and OG Anunoby, has the green light to shoot. Along with Schwarber, the
1981 NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship team and renowned Chicago Blackhawks National Anthem singer James Cornelison will be at the game. The game starts at 9:15 p.m., but it seems to me the atmosphere is already building. IU will try to make it 21 consecutive victories at home. The last time these two teams played in Assembly Hall, I was sitting on my couch as a precocious high school student still unsure of where I was going to commit. IU laid the smack down and emerged victorious 83-59 on Nov. 27, 2012, to cement its status as the best team in the

nation. It wasn’t the reason I ended up a Hoosier, but there’s no proof that it wasn’t not the reason. The Hoosiers will have another crack on national television to show their mettle against the best of the best on IU’s home court. Past Hoosier champions will be there. Dick Vitale will be in the building. Even a member of the Chicago Cubs World Series team will play a part. This is going to be fun as hell. gigottfr@indiana.edu @gott31

Hoosiers prepare for national test this week in Atlanta By Ben Portnoy bportnoy15@gmail.com @bportnoy15
Hoosier swimming will increase its competition on a national level this week, and IU Coach Ray Looze said it’s an opportunity for the swimmers to hone their skills while racing from behind. More than 40 Hoosier swimmers will head south to compete at Georgia Tech in the USA Winter Nationals starting Wednesday and going through Saturday. “Nationals is a really good meet to get some good racing in with good competition around the country,” senior swimmer Bailey Pressey said. The event also comes on the heals of the USA College Challenge, in which 14 Hoosiers were able to show their chops against some of the world’s best swimmers. Now many of those same athletes, along with reinforcements from Bloomington, will take on swimmers from high school to the professional level in Atlanta. “To get the team to sort of be battle-hardened, you gotta run them by really top-notch universities in the dual meet area but also a top notch invitational, and that’s essentially what this is,” Looze said. While a meet the size of

Then-junior backstroke swimmer Bob Glover leaps off the wall during the final heat of the 200-yard backstroke last season at the Boilermaker Aquatic Center. Glover placed second in the event with a time of 1:41.87, an NCAA B cut. Glover will compete for the Hoosiers at the US Winter Nationals this week in Atlanta.
Winter Nationals can seem somewhat daunting to a small team, there will be no shortage of Hoosiers in Atlanta. “It makes it so much more fun, so much more enjoy-
able,” Pressey said. “Going to a big meet like that with a small team makes it a little bit more stressful, but being able to have such a big team and such a big presence at a meet like that it really helps
you to just focus on you and your team and your swims and makes it a little bit easier to swim fast.” This week will also have preliminary or qualifying rounds, something Looze
and his staff will emphasize in their team meetings prior to the meet because many swimmers haven’t faced these yet this season. “The most important thing is to be sharp in pre-
lims because if you take a misstep there you don’t even get to swim at night,” Looze said. The meet will also present an opportunity for swimmers who have competed well lately and are looking to take the next step in helping the Hoosiers compete at the Big Ten and NCAA Championships in the spring. Senior Bob Glover is one of those athletes. Glvoer had a coming out party last year, when he earned first team and All-Academic Big Ten honors. Glover has continued his stride this season. He hit the NCAA B cut time for the 200-yard backstroke at the USA College Challenge and won a number of races against top-flight competition like Tennessee, Florida and Texas. “You’re looking to swim fast, and you’re looking to swim with confidence and really treat it as more of a championship-style meet” Glover said. Despite the tall task ahead of the Hoosiers, they feel confident going into Atlanta and intend to leave with some hardware. “I train with Olympians every day,” Pressey said. “So it’s kind of like an expectation that we perform great even with other greats right beside us.”
VOLLEYBALL
Senior setter, junior outside hitter headline first IU Big Ten honors in six seasons From IDS Reports
Two Hoosiers earned Big Ten volleyball recognition Tuesday, and for the first time since 2010, an IU volleyball player received an AllBig Ten honor. Senior middle blocker Jazzmine McDonald made her final season her best yet.
She recorded a .364 hitting percentage for the season and securing recognition by the conference as an All-Big Ten honorable mention. McDonald’s .364 mark was good enough for the second-best hitting percentage for a single season in IU volleyball history and the fourth-best clip in the Big
Ten during the regular season. An accurate hitter throughout her college career, McDonald finished with a .294 career hitting percentage, second in school history behind current IU assistant coach Ashley Benson. IU hit .239 as a team this season, its best percentage
since 1995. The middle blocker collected 93 blocks, including 10 in a double-double performance in which IU upset then-No. 13 Michigan, in 2016. Those 10 were the thirdmost in an IU four-set match in school history. The Hoosiers’ 21 blocks
as a team against the Wolverines were the most they had had in any match since 2006 and were the seventh-most in school history. Junior outside hitter Jessica Leish was selected as IU’s Big Ten sportsmanship honoree for her contributions as a team player by encouraging others and supporting
her teammates. Leish averaged 2.41 kills per set in her role this season to go along with a .246 hitting percentage. McDonald’s and Leish’s contributions helped IU win its most matches in a single season since 2010 with 17. Spencer Davis

CLUB GOLF
Hoosier places 14th at nationals in Florida Orlando off a sixth-place finish at last season’s national championship but had difficulty this year and finished tied for 14th. Sophomore Kevin McEneany finished with rounds of 84 and 80, 12 and 8 over, respectively, some of the lowest on the team through both rounds of the tournament. “We didn’t do as well as we wanted to, obviously,” McEneany said. “But I feel like it was a good building block for the national championship in the spring.” The NCCGA puts on two
By TC Malik tcmalik@umail.iu.edu | @TCMalik96
The IU club golf team took part in the National Collegiate Club Golf Association national championship for the second consecutive season during Thanksgiving break in Orlando, Florida. The top 30 club teams and 16 individuals competed at the Walt Disney Resort. IU made its way to the Sunshine State after beating Purdue in regionals on a stroke differential tiebreaker. The Hoosiers came to
national championships per year, once during the fall and once during the spring. Although IU wasn’t happy with its outcome this fall, the Hoosiers will have a chance to redeem themselves during the spring season. Junior Zach Stark also performed well for the Hoosiers. Stark made his way to IU after transferring from Stetson after playing two seasons on its varsity golf team. Stark finished inside the top 25 of more than 250 individuals in the national championship. He shot a pair of 77s
in both rounds of play. While his finish in the national championship was impressive, McEneany said he knew Stark could go lower. Those 77s were some of the highest McEneany has seen Stark shoot since joining the club. “He’s definitely our No. 1 player right now,” McEneany said. “He’s played well in the regional tournaments, and I know he didn’t play as well as he wanted to in the national championship, but he’s a pretty consistent low guy for us.”
The club golf team has more than 50 members, and only eight are chosen to play at the national championship. Sophomore Chris Martin was one Hoosier who failed to qualify for the chance to play at nationals, but not having the opportunity to compete in the final fall tournament didn’t make him feel like he was not a part of the club. “It’s fun to be a part of the team even though I wasn’t at the national championship,” Martin said. “It gives the average golfer the oppor-
tunity to compete on a bright stage without being on the varsity team.” Stark said the team’s commitment to developing a tight-knit, family feel helps the team consistently perform at a high level. Although the fall season is behind them, it will continue to build that and looks to improve on its 14th-place finish at the national championship tournament in the spring. “The club is getting more and more competitive,” McEneany said. “Our future is pretty bright.”

MEN’S SOCCER
IU’s season ends with missed opportunities By Josh Eastern jeastern@iu.edu | @JoshEastern
When Virginia Tech midfielder Forrest White ended IU men’s soccer’s season Sunday at Bill Armstrong Stadium, every player was flat on the ground in disbelief. They couldn’t believe their season had to end so abruptly. It was heartbreaking. It was upsetting. What was thought of as a season with so much promise came to a crashing halt. IU Coach Todd Yeagley said his side didn’t lose the match, rather Virginia Tech won it with a tremendous finish. Nonetheless, the Hoosiers didn’t advance on. They would have had a chance to avenge their loss against Wake Forest from last year, but it wasn’t meant to be. The team won their first two matches of the season in dramatic fashion. The first win came behind a penalty kick from IU senior Tanner Thompson with less than a minute left against New Mexico. The second win was a 3-1 stunner versus University California Irvine. After that first weekend, the team was feeling good heading into the Adidas/IU Credit Union Classic. Stanford and Cal were coming to Bloomington for two high profile matches. IU ended up beating Cal, but settled for a draw with Stanford when IU junior defender Grant Lillard got his first career red card.
That led into IU’s match against the top team in the country, Maryland. Without their best defender, the Hoosiers nearly came away with a win, but Maryland’s Alex Crognale’s 87th minute goal forced a draw. Throughout the season, the Hoosiers could defend like no other. They also settled for draws like none other. IU prided themselves on their defense and posted 11 shutouts, one shy of its team season goal of 12. The Hoosiers led the nation in draws with seven and that was mostly due to their inability to consistently score goals. Thompson was the leader in goals on the team with eight, but no one else had more than five. If one thing will be remembered through this season it will be the games against Northwestern, IUPUI, Penn State and a few others in which the Hoosiers outshot their opponent by a wide margin, but had to either settle for a draw or a close win. In the case of the final match, they settled for a loss. Yeagley stressed during the season quality in the final third. Some games they had it, others they didn’t. One could sense the frustration from the entire team after games where they just couldn’t put games away with goals. That’s what ultimately doomed them. Against the best of the best, the Hoosiers fared well. They were 4-1-2 in the regu-

lar season against top 25 RPI teams. It was a team that competed with any program in the nation but also could struggle against any program in the nation. There were also other memorable games like the three goal comeback against Butler, the dramatic win at Louisville, and the 2-1 win against Michigan State to snatch the two seed away from the Spartans. There was just one loss
in the regular season and it came in South Bend on Oct. 4. The Notre Dame Fighting Irish came to play, and the Hoosiers got just a bit unlucky. The Irish pushed four goals past IU senior Colin Webb in goal. It was their only blemish, but they bounced back quite nicely. For the four-year seniors, they were able to continue the stretch of consecutive years getting to the NCAA
Tournament. That streak is now at 30 years. They just weren’t able to take it to the next step. This season’s Round of 16 was the farthest they advanced in the tournament. It is the last game many of the seniors will ever play. As Thompson put it, the loss to Virginia Tech stings, but those are the types of games that you learn from the most. Yeagley will lose quite a bit of talent from his team this
season. Thompson is gone. His two starting goalkeepers are gone. His starting forward in Richard Ballard is gone as well. Glue guys midfielder Phil Fives and defender Billy McConnell too. The season didn’t end the way the Hoosiers wanted it to. This senior class was determined to make it back to the College Cup for the first time since they won it all in 2012. It is now up to next year’s team to make it happen.
Thompson named semifinalist for Missouri Athletic Club Hermann Trophy From IDS Reports
The IU men’s soccer season might have ended, but senior midfielder Tanner Thompson was named a semifinalist for the MAC Hermann trophy, the National Soccer Coaches Association of America announced Tuesday.
The MAC Hermann Trophy is annually given to the best player in college soccer. Former Stanford forward and current Seattle Sounders FC forward Jordan Morris was the winner in 2015 when the Cardinal won the National Championship. Thompson was named a first team All-Big Ten mem-
ber for the third straight season along with being named the Big Ten midfielder of the year for the second straight season. The senior ended the season with a team-leading eight goals, including four game winning goals, plus three assists. The field will be nar-
rowed from 15 to three finalists and those names will be announced Dec. 14 after votes are collected from NCAA Division I coaches. If Thompson were to win, he would become the seventh IU player in history to have won the award. The last Hoosier to win the award was Danny O’Rourke
in 2004. “Tanner has had a wonderful career at IU,” IU Coach Todd Yeagley said in a press release. “His ability to create off the dribble and pass, make him a special player. He also works hard defensively and is tough mentally and physically. He has become an elite college
player and is very deserving to be one of the semifinalists for the prestigious MAC Hermann Trophy award.” The MAC Hermann award winner will be announced Jan. 6, 2017, at the Missouri Athletic Club in St. Louis, Missouri.
