FOWL CITIZENS Columbus residents fight city laws to make backyard chicken keeping legal

By Eman Mozaffar emozaffa@indiana.edu | @emanmozaffar

COLUMBUS, Ind. — Bill Porter, 28, drives his brown Subaru up the gravel driveway. The whirring and crackling underneath his all-wheel drive greets the quiet front yard.

He works a 9-to-5 civil engineering job. All day, he’s surrounded by construction projects, deadlines and numbers. But when he gets home, one of the first things he does is go see his chickens.

He lets the birds out of the coop and contentedly watches them roam as the sun fades. He adds straw to their pen when necessary and checks for eggs. Before nightfall, he herds them back in.

“It’s much easier than taking care

of the dogs,” Bill says. “Even when we go out of town, our friends with no chicken-raising experience come over and look after them. It’s one of the many great things about having them.”

Bill and his wife Amber led a yearlong fight to make backyard chicken keeping legal. On Oct. 4, they won.

Now his four chickens are legal residents in the city of Columbus.

“It might seem like a frivolous topic,” Bill says, “but we’re trying to make a difference in our community.” * * * The Porters are in the company of thousands of chicken-keepers across the state, country and globe. But for local governments questioning the legality of the practice, the birds are also

a heated point of contention.

In Indianapolis and around the United States, residents can rent the egg-laying hens — coop and all — through services such as Naptown Chickens. People show chickens for ribbons and pride. “Chicken People,” a documentary released at the end of September, explores the lives of some of these feather-loving fanatics.

The traditional egg industry has had to adapt to the cage-free craze.

Companies such as McDonald’s, Taco Bell, Trader Joe’s and Dunkin’ Donuts are demanding cage-free only from their suppliers, because that’s what the public wants. If consumers can’t get it from these food giants, they’ll raise their own chickens instead.

Cultural houses celebrate Dia de Los Muertos

By Sarah Verschoor sverscho@iu.edu | @SarahVerschoor

An elaborate altar sat in the corner of the La Casa Latino Cultural Center. It was draped in a bright, multicolored blanket and displayed yellow flowers, candles, a glass, a pair of glasses and a cross made of flowers. Bright, decorative paper hung from the ceiling and framed photos sat on the altar.

The altar was part of the Día de Los Muertos celebration Wednesday night at La Casa. Día de Los Muertos is a holiday celebrated in Latino countries that honors the lives of family and friends who have died. These altars, a significant part of the celebration, include symbols of air, earth, water and fire, like candles and paper.

“It’s all about life and remem-

bering our loved ones, friends, family and community,” professor Mintzi Martinez-Rivera said, addressing the large group that gathered.

The altar assembled at La Casa honored a staff member’s mother who recently died.

Martinez-Rivera said the event offered students a space to celebrate, especially since they are away from home, and a place to celebrate with a community and family.

La Casa was packed with people viewing the altar, eating food and talking with each other. People crowded around the first floor of La Casa, and when food was served, a line continued outside the door.

Sophomore Angelica Navarro greets students as they enter La Casa during the Dia de los Muertos event on Wednesday evening. Students in traditional dress were scattered around La Casa, Canterbury House, and the GLBT Student Support Services to provide information and background on the two-day event.

One by one, each student gave an introduction, starting with their name and ending with their preferred pronoun. In doing so, Lloyd Graham, assistant director of diversity initiatives for RPS, said he hoped to create a safe space for students to discuss beauty free from the constraints of a gender-binary system.

The discussion Wednesday night was organized by the Community Education Program in partnership with Allison Vandenberg, visiting assistant professor of gender studies. It was meant to encourage individuals to question the effect that gender binarism may have on cultural and personal perception of beauty.

Graham started the conversation by presenting rules for discussion on the board, one of which stated, “We will do our best to not blame people for the misinformation we have learned, but we will hold each other responsible for repeating misinformation or offensive behavior after we have learned otherwise.”

This ground rule, Graham said, was meant to facilitate free discussion without fear of judgment.

“We want this to be a place of learning,” Graham said. “But we also strive to create a safe atmosphere for open dialogue.”

This open dialogue began as Graham placed images on the board, each one focused purposefully on a person of ambiguous gender. Graham then asked students, “Is this beautiful?” before allowing them to walk to signs labelled “strongly disagree,” “disagree,” “agree” and “strongly agree.” Attendees then discussed the reasons why or why not they saw the portraits as beautiful.

Vandenberg said choosing subjects without clear genders allowed students to see beauty beyond the rigidity of cultural gender constraints.

“My work focuses on pressing on the borders of gender and beauty,” she said. “I am happy that we can go beyond talking about just man and woman or strict masculinity and femininity in beauty.”

Graham said this view of beauty beyond boundaries allows people a freedom that is often restricted by gender roles in society.

“I think it also takes away the limitations we place on ourselves and society places on us in the gender we are assigned,” he said.

“We are free to be beautiful and see beauty in our own way, rather than the way our gender or society tells us to.”

These limitations, Graham said, were present even in his own perceptions of beauty, and the discussion allowed him to perceive a less restrictive definition of beauty.

“Beauty is, on a basic level,

Panelists, students talk sexism in politics

By Regina Mack @indiana.edu | @regmack_

Increased representation of women in politics will not necessarily translate into the resolution of sexism in political culture, senior Bee Smale said Wednesday night at a student panel about sexism in politics.

The panel, co-sponsored

by Diversity in Action and Students for a Democratic Society, addressed issues women encounter in the United States and abroad, ranging from being catcalled to struggling to break the glass ceiling in the political sphere.

Smale said the problem of sexism in politics is so endemic and structural that community organizing and education of youth are the best ways to find tangible solutions for sexism concerns.

“Education is so important, but I think it would be a waste of our effort to try to educate bigots,” Smale said.

Sophomore panelist Olivia Little said discussing sexism in the political world is important because women in the U.S. are not present in positions of political power the same way they are in other countries.

“It’s time we have the discussion about female occupation of political space,” Little said. “If you’re not talking about the problem, then nothing is going to get solved.”

Little said assertiveness in female politicians is often portrayed in the media as aggressiveness, but Donald Trump can be belligerent

The student group Diversity in Action put on a panel about sexism in politics Wednesday night. The panel was made of assorted IU students of all backgrounds.

on a debate stage and still have supporters.

“The way women are forced to dress and speak and how they are viewed shows that the political world is inherently sexist,” Little said.

Senior panelist Navo Emmanuel said trying to form a perception of what women in political power look like is difficult if those

women aren’t portrayed in the media, and biases in the education system make it harder for women, especially women of color, to attain positions of power.

An attendee asked the panelists why they think gender-related issues are usually the most partisan.

Sophomore panelist Anna Ortegasaid the reason why an issue like abortion

is such a hot-button issue is because it affects half the population.

“The debate over whether women can control their own body does not empower women,” Ortega said.

“When you empower women you need to empower all women. That’s inclusive feminism, and it starts at the bottom.”

Emmanuel said people

are becoming more educated and aware of gender-related issues, which is forcing politicians to confront those issues that are applicable to the entire population.

Several members of the panel expressed the view that Hillary Clinton’s feminism is not inclusive all women, especially to women who are not white.

Smale said they would

hesitate to call Hillary Clinton a feminist, and calling Hillary’s victory a feminist victory is reductive to what the idea of feminism should be.

“Her victory is not inclusive in the way that it’s more empowering for white women, but white women have a lot of privilege that needs to be considered,” Smale said.

Carbon recycling could increase energy eff iciency

By Hussain Ather sather@umail.iu.edu | @SHussainAther

Research on new types of chemical reactions could create more fuel-efficient cars.

Chemistry Professor Steven Tait’s work on reactions between metals and carbon dioxide could lead to more cost-effective technology.

“We’re trying to create a surface that will bind carbon dioxide and start to do these reactions,” Tait said.

By recycling carbon dioxide molecules into more reactions, the overall amount of carbon in the atmosphere remains the same.

To reach this goal, Tait said his lab needed to understand how carbon dioxide reacts on the surfaces of metallorganic complexes or molecules with metals and carbon atoms.

“We want to see what kind of structures form on the surface,” said Christopher Tempas, a graduate student in Tait’s lab.

He said they really want to know what the chemistry of these metal atoms is going to be.

Chemistry professor Kenneth Caulton synthesizes the molecules while Tait’s lab analyzes them.

Metal atoms react with oxygen to form oxides, but how they react with carbon dioxide isn’t clear, as the bond between a carbon atom and oxygen atoms is difficult to break, Tait said.

The lab uses a scanning tunnel microscopy to create an image of the surface at the molecular or atomic level, Tait said.

“The surface kind of acts as a place for the molecules and metals to interact in a two-dimensional plane,” Tempas said.

To understand the chemistry of the molecules, the scientists then perform x-ray spectroscopy.

X-ray spectroscopy is a method that shines x-rays on the electrons of the atoms.

From the way those xrays interact and produce photoelectrons, they can identify features of the molecules.

Some metals, like vanadium, have chemical properties similar to iron.

Therefore, this research

“We want to see what kind of structures form on the surface.

But we really want to know what the chemistry of those metal atoms is going to be.”

Christopher Tempas, graduate student in Chemistry Professor Steven Tait’s lab focusing on if reactions between metals and carbon dioxide could lead to costeffective technology that reduces emissions from cars

could be applied to iron, an abundant metal.

It could be used to create easy-to-manufacture technology, Tait said.

Though the project is still in its early stages, Tait said future scientists and engineers can use this fundamental research in their own work to make better devices that use fossil fuels.

Reducing carbon dioxide is a goal that many people from around the world are working on, Tait said.

“We’re trying to do something you couldn’t do alone,” Tait said.

IUSA president issues her second veto

By Chris Mura cmura@indiana.edu | @chris__mura

IU Student Association president Sara Zaheer issued her second veto of the year Oct. 28 to block the appointment of Eric Langowski as chair of the Election Commission and Libby Gress as a member.

Zaheer referenced the objectivity of the members of the commission, which was the subject of heavy debate by members of Congress during the initial appointment of the commission.

Since Gress had worked on tickets accused of wrongdoing in the past, representatives were unsure whether she could maintain objectivity during the next election.

However, Langowski said all potential commission members were made to cut ties with anyone in IUSA who might influence them.

She recommended that Congress members vote again on each member of the commission, either separately or as a whole part, instead of in a package with appointees for other commissions as was originally presented.

“For the sake of the student body and the members of IUSA who do the good work of carrying out our mission of enriching student life and protecting student rights, don’t settle,” Zaheer said in the veto. “Take the time to write a set of rules that makes sense and appoint an Election Commission that can do the job objectively.”

Zaheer also said she vetoed the bill because the commission put forth too many members for the available number of seats and that Congress should have caught the discrepancy beforehand.

“They voted in 11 people

for 10 spots, so I thought we should go back and look at this again because this is silly and it sets a bad example,” she said.

Langowski said neither he nor other members of the commission were made aware of the veto after Zaheer had sent it to Calvin Sanders, the current Speaker of the Congress.

Under current IUSA bylaws, the Speaker is not required to make any vetoes available to the public or even notify the people it concerns.

The veto of two Election Commission members comes at a time when the commission is making extensive changes to the election code.

These code changes have a heavy emphasis on making elections more evenly balanced and reforming Congress to be more representative of the student body.

Langowski said he did not think that the revision process would be greatly affected by the veto of his or Gress’s appointments.

In a written statement on behalf of the Election Commission, Langowski said the commission was committed to implementing its code reforms this year to ensure that the elections were as fair as possible for all candidates, and that they would pursue that goal without partisan influence.

“We will not allow ourselves to become entangled in any internal, inherently political issues brought about by the current administration,” Langowski said on behalf of the Election Commission. “We will continue to fight for fair and unbiased elections, for progressive changes to the Election Code, and for elections that lead to the best representation in IU student government.”

MCCSC tax referendum supports staffing

By Katelyn Haas haask@indiana.edu | @khaas96

The only thing wrong with the Monroe County Community Schools Corporation tax referendum renewal, in the eyes of the YesForMCCSC committee, is the lack of knowledge about it.

Paul Farmer, a teacher at Bloomington High School North, said the first thing people will see on the ballot when they see the referendum is more taxes and will vote no.

“We still have parents of students who don’t even know about the referendum,” Farmer said.

The MCCSC tax referendum calls for a renewal of funding for the school district to support staffing needs and to provide programs for students throughout the district.

Farmer said the need for the referendum stems from former governor Mitch Daniels making $300 million cuts to public education in 2009.

This, Farmer added, forced schools to make choices, MCCSC chose to go after the first referendum in 2010.

When the cuts went through in 2009, the district lost $2.5 million out of their budget, resulting in cutting all extra-curricular activities and some personnel — including teachers.

Lynn Coyne, co-chair of the YesforMCCSC referen-

Mayor John Hamilton and school board candidate Cathy Fuentes-Rohwer canvas and talk to voters about the referendum Wednesday night.

dum committee, said people in the community quickly became involved in working to help the situation.

“A lot of community fundraising took place to reinstate the extra-curricular activities,” Coyne said. “But by state law the only way to raise funds to help the budget of the corporation was to have a referendum adding a real estate tax amount.”

The referendum proposal was placed on the ballot that year, resulting in $7.5 million additional funding. Cathy Fuentes-Rohwer, an advocate and candidate for school

board this November, said people who had never gone door-to-door or made phone calls for a cause became active in the community.

“Now, six years later we’ve got it back on the ballot, it’s a lot less visible,” Fuentes-Rohwer said. “There is so much going on in this election.”

Farmer said if the referendum is not renewed this November, MCCSC will run out of official referendum funding in December. He said while the district has been fiscally responsible, the referendum renewal allows them to continue throughout the year

with the current programs.

He said the referendum dollars goes to paying individuals, and very rarely does the money go to material things.

Technology and other departments including transportation come from different taxing groups.

“It’s all about staff,” Farmer said. “So, if the referendum fails, we’re going to be losing people. Class sizes will go up, and we’ll lose programs the students need.”

Programs such as Artful Learning at Fairview Elementary and STEM-oriented schools including Grandview

Elementary are both programs that could become jeopardized due to a lack of staff if the referendum is not passed, Farmer said.

Coyne said the committee has had more time to publicize the referendum than they did in 2010. Before the school board officially adopted the resolution in July to place the referendum on the ballot, the committee went to school events, spoke with parentteacher organizations and other school groups to make them aware of the vote early.

Farmer said in the 2010 vote, the committee members

would have teachers send home papers with students to remind parents about the referendum and actively campaign as teachers to students.

But unlike the original passing of the referendum in 2010, teachers and other district employees are no longer allowed to actively campaign during school hours or on school grounds.

“I can’t wear, as a teacher, the referendum t-shirt to school,” Farmer said. “I can’t hang up a sign in my classroom. Needless to say, communication has been a very difficult thing.”

He said he does encourage his students to vote in general, though he is not allowed to advocate for specific issues.

“I’ve talked to my students in the classroom, because I have seniors who are eighteen, and I ask them if they’re registered,” Farmer said. “Because these students need to become active.”

He said in the last sentence of the paragraph on the ballot about the referendum, the committee mentions the proposal is a renewal. He said the tax referendum does not mean more taxes, but a maintaining of the current tax rate in place.

“You don’t want to wake up on Nov. 9 and say ‘I wish I would’ve’,” Farmer said. “Never change the past, just work for the future.”

The President of Council at Large Andy Ruff leads the city council meeting Wednesday.

Council members create city parking commision

By Lyndsay Jones jonesly@indiana.edu | @lyndsayjonesy

The Bloomington City Council met Wednesday to discuss zoning changes on E. Hillside Drive, establishing a parking commission and to hear public comment.

The meeting began with a preliminary approval of minutes from the Oct. 19th council meeting and general announcements from various council members. A few council members encouraged the public to vote as soon as possible. Council member Steve Volan, who had set a Cubs hat next to his name plaque, made a more playful announcement.

“As much as I wish this meeting could be expedited, I want you to know I’m rooting for the Cubs the whole time,” Volan said.

After an update on various ongoing sustainability projects by Sustainability Coordinator Jacqui Bauer, the meeting opened for public comment.

Mary Howard-Hamilton was the first to speak. Howard-Hamilton is president of the Bloomington Alumnae Chapter of the Delta Sigma Theta sorority. She said that part of what the sorority chapter does is promote various kinds of awareness.

“We are concerned with the lack of minoritized populations on our city council,” Howard-Hamilton said. “We are hoping there will be a noticeable difference in the representation of underrepresented individuals in 2018.”

She said the chapter encourages a civil community, and recent instances of Confederate flag display at Bloomington High School North were alarming.

“We’re a bit concerned about the lack of cultural understanding from children

as early as pre-K into high school,” Howard-Hamilton said. “The Confederate flag is a symbol of strife. People should be educated about that.”

She suggested the council consider issuing official proclamations to bring awareness to the topic.

The council then moved to discuss amending the zoning maps for 600-630 E. Hillside Drive from residential single family zoning and residential high-density multifamily zoning to planned unit development.

Planned unit development is a type of development and regulatory process that involves varied land uses such as commercial centers, recreation and housing within a single area or subdivision.

Volan said he met with the petitioner, Dwellings LLC, to discuss whether or not the rezoning petition had any viability. He said the conversation left certain things unanswered, such as what parking on Henderson would look like with petition approval.

“This isn’t my district, so I don’t feel like I have a stake in this,” Volan said. “But the question really is, ‘Can the petitioner and the neighborhood come to an agreement on anything?’ The answer seemed to be a cautious yes.”

The council voted to postpone amending the zoning maps until Nov. 16 to give Dwellings LLC and the neighborhood a longer period of time to discuss potential development changes.

The council also voted to postpone approving an agreement between Monroe County, the city of Ellettsville and the city of Bloomington regarding funding for the animal shelter in 2017. Due to unclear numbers and budgetary needs, council member Isabel Piedmont-Smith pro-

posed the council wait to vote.

“If we don’t have the numbers to be informed voters, we should not be voting on this tonight,” Piedmont-Smith said. “I think about local government where you hear about fraud and simple mistakes, and it happens in these things where no one is watching. We need to do our due diligence.”

The council’s vote to postpone was unanimous.

The council then turned to the issue of parking as Volan introduced legislation to establish a new, nine-member parking commission.

“Parking has no obvious department or point person,” Volan said. “The traffic commission can’t take on (the proposed duties) because it would double their work.”

The commission he proposed would include four local residents, one council member, two merchants, one representative from a nonprofit and one staffer from the Planning and Transportation Department. Volan said members would be appointed by the mayor and city council, depending on each role.

He proposed members would prioritize keeping city character intact, mediating traffic flow and sustaining economic vibrancy. They would also review meter, garage and lot usage data, as well as parking tickets and appeals data and other statistics and issue an annual report using their findings.

Volan said the commission’s legislative power would be initially limited to making recommendations.

After mostly positive reviews and an acknowledgement of probable, incoming changes to the commission, the council voted 7-0 to approve the commission with one member abstaining from the vote.

It’s time to choose a president. Many Americans have already cast their votes for the next national leader, and many others will do so Tuesday. If you haven’t already, please get informed — then get to the polls and join them.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t trust Hillary Clinton and despise Donald Trump.

Policy matters, and the policy that will pass through Capitol Hill in the next four years could change the direction of our country.

There’s nothing more disappointing to me than hearing the reasons people decide not to vote. They wouldn’t feel ethical electing their party’s candidate, or neither candidates represent their religious beliefs. Maybe they don’t like anyone on the ballot and figure they’ll wait for the next election to be involved once more. They think their vote doesn’t matter.

Here’s my counterpoint: This election is bigger than your ethical or religious reservations. Yes, the president only has four years in office, but the relationships — or enemies — made during those four years can have decades-long effects, not just on you but on the world.

For example, we’re still dealing with repercussions of President George W. Bush’s decision to declare a war on Iraq. President Obama’s efforts to reopen the relationship between the U.S. and Cuba could also have lasting effects — as could his targeted airstrikes that killed civilians in the Middle East.

People live and die by the president’s decisions.

And, your vote does matter — even if you vote for a third-party candidate. While, statistically, there is very little chance your third-party candidate will be elected,

Cassie Heeke is a senior in journalism.

your vote could prevent one major party candidate from winning. Say Clinton wins 45 percent of the vote, Trump wins 40 percent, and two third-party candidates share 15 percent. Even though Clinton doesn’t have the majority, she wins the election.

If you aren’t fully aware of the issues, isidewith.com is a great resource for figuring out your political alignments.

Ontheissues.org and politifact.com are also helpful for discerning the policy ideas of each candidate.

Do your civic duty, I beg of you. At the very least, voting means you’ll have the right to complain for the next four years if your candidate loses. cnheeke@indiana.edu @cnheeke

MULLING IT OVER WITH MERM

Studying English is not easy MIRANDA GARBACIAK is a junior in English.

ILLUSTRATION BY EMILY TATUM | IDS

No teachers, no problem New Silicon Valley coding school takes a revolutionary approach to education Silicon Valley is home to some of the most creative ventures and unique businesses in the world.

And the latest project to come down the line is no exception.

With the rising cost of education and a growing disdain for traditional academia among tech developers, it seems like the perfect storm for a new kind of education. And given Silicon Valley’s constant demand for such creative critical thinkers, this has culminated in the founding of a new coding school named 42.

The school’s name references the science-fiction series “The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy,” in

which the solution to “the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything” is 42.

At first, it might seem like just a vocational school for software developers, but it’s so much more than that.

Firstly, it’s free. The school is a non-profit funded by billionaire Xavier Niel, who started 42 using $100 million of his own money.

One of the centerpoints of the 42 philosophy is the need to eliminate excessive college debt, and this is their means of doing so.

But this philosophy isn’t only about finances, it’s about opportunity. That’s why anyone from age 18 to 30 can apply, with or with-

out a degree — or coding experience. But that isn’t to say that everyone gets in. This school is highly competitive, and begins with the intense “Piscine,” also known as “Bootcamp.”

For the first four weeks, students code Monday through Sunday, day and night, trying to prove they’re good enough to be a part of this school. After this, admissions are determined, and the top students are allowed to continue with this program.

That isn’t even the most radical part of this university. The biggest difference is the lack of teachers.

The model involves project-based learning, with students peer-review-

ing each other’s code, and takes 3-5 years to complete.

This school is all about emphasizing creativity and critical thinking without a price tag.

While it’s admittedly unorthodox, 42 has a fantastic approach to education.

It only seems natural that this sort of off-the-wall university would reside in Silicon Valley. But this sort of against-the-grain notion of education isn’t simply characteristic of California start-ups. It’s an idea very connected with the computer science and the coding community.

For many of those in this community, the idea of going to college for com-

puter science is ridiculous.

They believe it can be selftaught, without the need for a regular classroom or teachers. This works because computer science is a field where you either have good code or you don’t. It’s more about the skills you have than the degrees on your wall.

This is the model for the autodidact — the driven thinker, determined to get ahead.

So in teaching students this way, 42 doesn’t necessarily create a whole new model for education. These ideals have always been there. But 42 it takes those students who want to teach themselves and gives them a place to do so.

GETTING IN THE GROOVE

Republican Party is solely responsible for Trump’s rise Seeing as this will be my final column before everyone goes to the polls on Tuesday, I figured I’d reflect on the election as a whole, particularly the rise of Donald J. Trump.

In the wake of Mitt Romney’s 2012 loss, the Republican elitists released an “autopsy” of Romney’s loss that also laid out their plans for future elections.

In it, they commented on Romney’s inability to win any minority demographic, saying, “We need to campaign among Hispanic, black, Asian and gay Americans, and demonstrate we care about them, too. We must recruit more candidates who come from minority communities. But it is not just tone that counts. Policy always matters.”

And — as I’m sure we’re all too aware of at this point — in an ironic twist of fate, Trump rose out of his cesspool of

garbage, reality television and crazy conspiracy theories, saying, “You called?”

One narrative I’ve observed in this election is that of the GOP establishment being taken captive

by Trump, like he sprung up out of nowhere and took everyone by surprise. In reality, Trump is an inevitable product of their own making.

From their coordinated attack on President Obama’s legitimacy as a U.S. citizen to their unwillingness to accept any of his actions as within the constitutional allowances of his office, the GOP has spent the past eight years planting mistrust, hatred and bigotry in their most stalwart constituents. Now, they’re reaping what they’ve sown.

Regardless of the results on Election Day, the GOP will lose. If Trump wins, they are automatically on the wrong side of history in endorsing him. If he loses, it’s another

four years they’re without a person in the White House.

But back to my original point: Trump is not the only manifestation of everything antithetical to the 2012 Extreme Platform Makeover: GOP Edition. The rest of the party’s leaders are, too.

Why? Well, it’s inherently contradictory for Republicans to attempt to appeal to minorities while retaining their current policies.

There’s nothing Hispanicfriendly in their coded rhetoric that in reality serves as a call for mass deportation.

There’s nothing black-friendly in their unwillingness to admit that police brutality is a real issue and to see the legitimacy in the Black Lives Matter movement. There’s nothing LGBT-friendly in the right-wing hysteria that erupted over the transgender bathroom rights debate.

The fact of the matter is the real cause of the GOP’s

disarray and confusion is the inability of the stereotypical Republican — white, Christian middle-class — to reconcile his or her belief in America as a WASP-controlled country with what it is becoming today: a true melting pot of different races, ethnicities, religions and sexualities.

Trump is more of a symptom of the GOP’s current identity crisis than he is a cause of it. He’s not the virus but instead the really, really hideous — and orange — rash that’s alerted us to what lies underneath.

So what’s a GOP party chairperson to do?

Regardless of the election results, the GOP must make some fundamental changes to its platform if it doesn’t want to disintegrate as a party. The demographics of the U.S. are changing; by 2045, whites will make up less than 50 percent of the population.

If the GOP wants to

remain relevant, it must embrace the diversity of the U.S. That means it must drop its most conservative social beliefs, like its stances on Roe v. Wade and gay marriage. It must start seeing some of the institutional problems that have led to mass incarceration and police brutality.

It must focus more on economic issues and less on social ones. Even I — an admittedly diehard liberal — can begrudgingly see the merits in a few of their economic stances.

In doing so, maybe — just maybe — the Republican Party will be able to retain a shred of its dignity. acgroove@indiana.edu

When I tell people I’m studying English with a concentration in creative writing, I get two responses.

“Oh, that must be so easy!” and “Oh, I’m so sorry.”

The latter usually comes from other students studying English in some shape or form.

I wasn’t always an English major. I came to IU an astrophysics major, so I can sufficiently judge the difficulty of an English major opposed to a natural sciences major.

Let me tell you: they are about equal in difficulty.

Sure, when studying science, you have to also study math, and I will agree that studying math is incredibly difficult.

It’s the reason I stopped pursuing an astrophysics major.

However, that doesn’t mean that studying literature or the craft of writing is any easier. Of course, you don’t have to cram for a finite exam or an orgo midterm. Instead, you have to figure out how you’re going to fit reading three different books each week into your schedule and how you’ll write the next draft of your short story when you have severe writer’s block.

Granted, English majors are gifted with fantastic leniency from their professors.

That’s because they were all English majors once, too.

Being an English major is not uncommon in many liberal arts universities, but the number of students majoring in English is down. For some reason, liberal arts degrees in general are on a decline.

In a world where jobs require several degrees, students believe that they have to have “practical” degrees in fields like natural science or business. There are plenty of jobs available for those students, but English students have a wide variety of options as well.

Having a liberal arts major such as English, history or even music composition can open so many doors to different avenues of work. Not only can English majors write bestselling novels or get awards for groundbreaking journalism, they typically also write television’s best hits, the music industry’s biggest songs and our textbooks.

English majors are the nation’s brightest thinkers. One of the most important skills you can learn in college is to read and write critically. These skills are acquired through all of the books and articles that we spend many late nights reading.

I probably get as much sleep as Kelley students or math majors, which isn’t very much. It’s funny to hear kids from other majors complain about how much work they have or how much of reading they have to do for one class.

And of course the preconceived notion that English majors are snobby is true. We are. We think we are more educated because we have read Kurt Vonnegut or T.S. Eliot’s condescending view of the modernist movement.

However, English majors are also some of the most empathetic students. We spend so much time reading tragedies and comedies and all works in between that we have to be well versed in our own emotions.

Creative writing majors are especially in tune with their emotions, or else we wouldn’t be able to write the fifteenth poem about our ex that we turned in for workshop the week before.

Just remember your friend studying English may be cranky because they just wrote a ten-page paper on why a specific color of wallpaper is significant and give them a break. All majors are difficult in their own right and they all have importance in the job market.

Unless you are an underwater basket weaving major. mmgarbac@indiana.edu

IU ready for Big Ten Tournament matchup

By Juan Alvarado jdalvara@indiana.edu | @jdsports14

IU Coach Amanda Janney wants to get even with Penn State.

After a second-half comeback attempt fell one goal short against the No. 6 team in the nation on the road last weekend, Janney plans to implement new strategies to get back at the Nittany Lions in the quarterfinals of the Big Ten Tournament on Thursday.

“I think it is great we are playing them so close together,” Janney said. “I think we are going to do our best to keep the momentum going and start out as strong as possible. You have a little more motivation when you know you did not play your 100-percent best the last you played the team.”

Last season, in Janney’s first Big Ten Tournament at IU, it was the Nittany Lions who knocked them out in the quarterfinals and ended the Hoosiers’ season.

Junior forward Maddie Latino scored in the 3-1 loss against Penn State and said the team is ready to upset the second-seeded Nittany Lions and get its first postseason win under Janney’s lead.

Last time IU got to the semifinals of the competi-

tion was in 2012, when it defeated Northwestern 4-0.

“It has definitely been in our minds,” Latino said about their postseason game last year. “We definitely want to come back, take it to them and get another win. It is re-

ally in our benefit that we played them last weekend and that we have such a short turnaround to play them.”

Latino also said IU has an advantage because they got to play another game after

facing Penn State, whereas the Nittany Lions have not played at all since then and will most likely display the same strategy.

Senior defender Kate Barber, who was selected this week to participate in

the National Field Hockey Coaches Association’s Division I Senior Game, said IU has been watching a lot of film from their last encounter, and in order to win Thursday will need to make defensive adjustments.

FOOTBALL

“Really working on our back tackles and really just staying in the play,” Barber said. “They do a lot of give and goes and one-time passes, so really just working on our recovery defense and getting our weak side forwards to really just stay in the play.”

Barber added that the mentality of the team the entire season has been to play like it’s the last game. She expects the Hoosiers to apply this going into postseason play, she said.

The game will take place 12:30 p.m. Thursday in Maryland’s Field Hockey & Lacrosse Complex. If IU defeats Penn State, the Hoosiers would play at 1 p.m. Friday in the semifinals against the winner of No. 3 seed Michigan and No. 6 seed Michigan State.

“I think our team is so fired up to do well in the postseason,” Janney said.

“I think last year, being the first year after not making it the year before, I think we had some nervous players and people not getting used to getting into postseason.

So I think, knowing this year what the pressure feels like and using the experience from last year, we are in a much better place this season.”

FOOTBALL

Lineman finds his place on defense

By Taylor Lehman trlehman@indiana.edu @TaylorRLehman

IU had just given up a 13-play, 75-yard Michigan State scoring drive to tie the game with mere seconds remaining. The game went to overtime. The Hoosiers’ momentum had been lost.

But on a 2nd-and-8 play, redshirt junior defensive lineman Pat Dougherty bypassed Patrick Dougherty the Spartan offensive line, met Michigan State quarterback Tyler O’Connor in the backfield and brought him down for a loss of three yards.

Dougherty made his way back to the line after his first career sack without celebration.

There wasn’t enough time to release the coiled spring that was wound up from nagging injuries and three years of limited play after nine years of ball in grade school. IU went on to win the game, 24-21, but there still wasn’t much talk about Dougherty.

“He’s not a guy that wants to talk, he’s just a guy that backs up his play with how he plays,” IU defensive line coach Mark Hagen said.

“He lets that do the speaking for him. He’s a leader by example and all our guys respect him.”

But who is Pat Dougherty?

That’s been the question on the minds of IU

fans as the lineman out of Aurora, Ohio, has started to make his mark on the 2016 season.

On paper, he’s not the most impressive player on the IU defense. To date, he has nine tackles, two tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks and a pass breakup.

It’s the pivotal plays that he does make that get his coaches calling for No. 58 more and more.

He blocked a field goal in the first quarter against Michigan State, recovered a fumble and batted down a pass against Ohio State and broke through the line to force a safety against Nebraska.

But this is his fourth year in the program. How has he not seen the field more often?

Dougherty was a twostar recruit coming out of Division II power Aurora High School in 2013, where he played both offensive and defensive line. He chose IU, the only Big Ten school to offer him, over Cincinnati, Boston College and several Mid-American Conference schools Other members of that IU recruiting class include Marcus Oliver, Rashard Fant, TJ Simmons, Darius Latham and Antonio Allen.

That doesn’t even include players already on the roster, like now-senior defensive tackle Ralph Green and former Hoosier defensive linemen Nick Mangieri and Zach Shaw, who all started ahead of Dougherty through his first three years.

All of those Hoosiers have either left the program

or are at least two years deep into a starting role on the team.

Dougherty’s path to the field was different though.

He separated his shoulder in the first game of his senior year of high school.

Dougherty played through it for a few weeks, but after suffering a setback mid-season, he and his coach Bob Mihalik decided to shut him down.

“It was tough because we made it to the Final Four that season,” Mihalik said. “But, the trainers had to keep popping his shoulder back in place during games, and we knew he had a real chance to contribute at the next level.”

The star basketball player turned football player had led his team to the Final Four of the Ohio State Championship in his junior year too.

But, his senior year would consist of shoulder surgery, rehab and regaining upper body strength most recruits in the class didn’t need to regain.

But working hard has never been an issue for the junior, Mihalik said.

“If I had to say one thing about Pat as a person, it would just be his incredible work ethic,” Mihalik said.

“He’s worked hard for the game of football, and his ability to respond to adversity is the reason why he won’t just succeed at football, but will succeed at life.”

Hagen called Dougherty a “lunch pail, journeyman” type of guy, in the way he comes to practice to improve and doesn’t bat an

eye when he is asked to do something for the team.

Most recently, Dougherty was asked to switch from defensive tackle, where he practiced all camp, to defensive end after sophomore defensive lineman Jacob Robinson suffered a concussion. Dougherty has switched between inside and outside all season, and his sack against Michigan State came from the defensive end position.

IU Coach Kevin Wilson commented on Dougherty’s work ethic after the Michigan State upset, emphasizing that the junior never “blended in” to the program, where most players in his shoes would have.

Dougherty kept working to find a significant role on the team, Wilson said.

“He’s not the biggest,” Hagen said. “He’s not the strongest. He’s not the fastest guy, but he’s very, very smart. He understands the game. He’s a guy that uses both his ability and his brain.”

That intellect is a significant reason why he has worked his way into more and more snaps each week on the line of a defense that’s made the third-largest improvement in the country.

But that’s just who Pat Dougherty is.

“Every game I continue to gain more and more confidence about it and just keep playing hard, take coaching the best I can and practice good fundamentals,” Dougherty said about his role in the defense. “No days off during practice.”

Hoosiers battle hard but fall short on road

By Spencer Davis spjdavis@umail.iu.edu @spencer_davis16

IU played with the ferocity it showed in Saturday night’s upset of then-No. 13 Michigan, but came up short on the road at No. 2 Minnesota. The Golden Gophers won in three sets, but the Hoosiers kept it close in all three, losing 21-25, 24-26 and 21-25.

In the first meeting of the year between the two teams, IU failed to score more than 17 points in a single set.

The Hoosiers were able to find more success this time around.

IU’s middle blockers, senior Jazzmine McDonald and freshman Deyshia Lofton, led the team in

Wednesday night’s hardfought loss.

McDonald came into this match off the heels of the best performance of her career, in which she recorded her first-ever double-double with 15 kills, 10 blocks and a .700 hitting percentage. The senior did not let up and contributed 13 kills with just one error and a .600 hitting percentage.

Lofton added 10 kills and five blocks.

Six different players earned kills for the Hoosiers through their first eight points, and the Tapp twins were active early for Minnesota. Paige Tapp had three kills and two blocks, and Hannah Tapp had a kill and three blocks in the first set.

IU, 15-11, 4-9, showed

late fight in the first set. After trailing by as many as nine points, the Hoosiers stormed back to knock the deficit down to three at 21-24 on a Deyshia Lofton block. Paige Tapp then closed out the first set with a kill.

IU Coach Sherry Dunbar-Kruzan was hoping her team would be able to continue their blocking success from last weekend, but the Golden Gophers outblocked the Hoosiers 5-1 in the first set.

The Hoosiers had the second set in its clutches and nearly handed Minnesota just its third set loss at home this season, where the team has a 9-0 record. However, the 18-4, 10-3 Golden Gophers showed why they

are the No. 2 team in the country and were relentless in their comeback attempt as they claimed set two, 26-24.

Senior libero Taylor Lebo became IU’s all-time leader for service aces in the rally scoring era when she earned the 128th of her career Wednesday. The co-captain also aided the Hoosiers with 17 digs, seven more than Minnesota’s leader in that category.

Set three brought with it another battle as IU led by three late, 18-15, before Minnesota began a run and took control, eventually closing it out 25-21.

The Hoosiers face No. 22 Ohio State in their next match Saturday in Bloomington.

Freshman offensive lineman Coy Cronk, 54, congratulates sophomore wide receiver Nick Westbrook. Cronk is part of a freshman trio who are successfully playing some of the toughest positions in college football.

Freshman trio are key cogs in IU football machine

By Jordan Guskey jguskey@indiana.edu | @JordanGuskey

Three freshmen are playing what IU Coach Kevin Wilson calls some of the toughest positions in college football, and through eight games they aren’t rattled.

Coy Cronk starts at left tackle, Marcelino Ball at husky and A’Shon Riggins at cornerback.

Cronk has drawn comparison to former Hoosier and 2016 NFL Draft second round selection Jason Spriggs, who started 47 games at left tackle while at IU. Ball carved out a role in the new position featured in defensive coordinator Tom Allen’s 4-2-5 scheme, and Riggins wrestled away the starting nod from junior Ben Bach, who was also at times considered for the husky slot.

But, more so than the talent that’s required to achieve what they have, Wilson is impressed with their maturity.

“There are freshmen in our freshman class that probably have more skill than those guys, but those guys are more grown and they’re more complete and they’re playing well,” Wilson said. “And they’re playing — they’re more grown than some of our older guys.”

When Ball and Riggins are in one-on-one coverage and Cronk is on the edge of the offensive line, Wilson describes them as playing on an island.

They’ve been burned at times, no question. Cronk has been called for costly holding penalties, and Ball and Riggins have been beaten in coverage, but for the most part they’ve held their own. Cronk is filling in nicely for an offensive line battling injuries to key pieces, and the defensive duo are making points plays at the expense of opposing offenses.

Ball leads the Hoosiers with two interceptions, is sec-

ond in pass breakups with seven and third on the team in tackles with 56. Riggins registered a pick of his own in his first start at Ohio State, has five pass breakups and a sack.

All three have played in each game so far this season.

All three have impressed.

Just this past weekend Ball nabbed his second interception and recovered a fumble, continuing to keep up his hot start and defy any sort of midseason wear and tear that defensive coordinator Tom Allen sometimes sees in freshmen.

Ball wasn’t satisfied with his performance, and Allen said his ability to quickly recognize what needs to be fixed exemplifies how much he’s developed already and how well he fits in with his fellow teammates.

“He just understands football,” Allen said. “He’s battling, he’s tough, and he kind of embodies the personality of our defense — that is we’re going to be high-energy, tough, aggressive.”

Allen said that while he was recruiting Ball that he seemed to be a prospect who could fit in well at husky. Riggins pledged to start as a freshman and hasn’t lost that confidence since stepping onto campus. Coaches and fellow teammates said Cronk was eager to learn, and the lineman is making the most of his opportunity.

All three appear to have significant roles ahead of them in their next few years in Bloomington, and Wilson isn’t shy about it.

In his eyes, all three are legit.

“Those are three really good players,” Wilson said.

“Marcelino is awesome. He’s a big-time player, and those other two guys aren’t far behind.

They ought to be freshmen AllAmericans and all that stuff.”

you raise them.”

The “Urban Chickens” page started years ago, but Jill continues to manage and make posts frequently.

The page has gotten more than 450 likes, partially as a result of the recent chicken ordinance.

Chickens and people have co-existed for a long time, Jill says, and the practice of chicken keeping has recently become more popular. As someone who works for the government, she knows how much of an administrative burden it would be to track every hen in town.

“This isn’t just Columbus,” Jill notes. “It’s a trend everywhere. Chicago, Louisville, Indy — there are so many reasons to keep chickens.”

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Backyard chicken keeping isn’t limited to farmers and the health conscious.

It’s a hobby that middleclass families are adopting in droves.

For Bill and Amber, and for many others, the battle to keep these chickens is more than just personal. * * * The Porters have four ISA Browns, a cross between the Rhode Island Red and the Rhode Island White. They’re a hardy, quiet breed, easy to care for and highly social.

They have plenty of space to roam in the backyard, with patches of grass worn down from excessive digging and a chicken coop that Bill built himself.

“One day, Easter of last year, I believe, Amber just decided that we were going to get chickens,” Bill says.

“And that’s what we did.”

Edith, one of the four hens, lets a soft coo rumble through her throat before she jabs her beak at the ground in search for fresh grubs. She struts, scratching the beaten earth with her feet. One of her toes is missing.

“It doesn’t stop her,” Bill notes. “These animals are crazy tough. One of the many things I’ve learned since we got them Easter of last year.”

Keeping chickens has given the Porters eggs to share with family and friends.

It’s granted them another hobby to enjoy after long days at work. Most importantly, it’s shaped their understanding of what it means to practice sustainability.

There’s no greater feeling, Bill says, than grabbing a pale brown egg, still warm from the body of the hen that laid it, out of the coop first thing in the morning.

fend his position, he was willing to do it.

On July 5, Bill went in front of crowds of concerned citizens in Columbus City Hall to talk about his chickens. About 70 people showed up, and nearly 30 took to the floor to share their perspectives.

“There were people overflowing the city chambers,” Bill says.

Wearing a dress shirt and tie, Bill looked like a typical young professional. As a 28-year-old civil engineer, he would be one of the last people expected to stand in front of such a large crowd,

delivering an address about chicken keeping. But that’s exactly what he was going to do.

In his speech, Bill went over what it means to keep a chicken ethically. He was preceded and followed by many other impassioned residents.

The question for the council to decide: Were chickens farm animals, banned from the backyards of Columbus residents? Or were they pets, which people are allowed to keep?

The Porters founded the Columbus Homeowners Initiative for Chicken Keeping, or CHICK, to declare that chickens are more than just farm animals — they’re pets and sources of enjoyment for everyone to keep.

Bill said it was his job to change this legal language, and if that required starting a group and standing in front of crowds to de-

Martinez-Rivera said Día de Los Muertos has transformed for the Latino population in the United States.

The experience of growing up and living in the U.S. has moved Día de Los Muertos beyond just a Latino or Mexican celebration to include

and be embraced by other communities.

GLBT Student Support Services had a coloring activity. Its altar featured a remembrance of the victims of the Orlando, Florida, shooting this year.

“It’s interesting because it’s usually a part of Latino culture,” Munoz said about the cultural houses’ partnership. “It is interesting to see what they know and have to offer.”

The sense of strong community and inclusion was present at La Casa.

Patricia Cornejo, an IU student, said she has not met other Latinos at IU and wanted to come celebrate with others. Cornejo said at home, her mom makes an altar and decorates it with photos of loved ones, similar to how La Casa assembled theirs.

Munoz said she usually attends church and puts up photos of her grandparents on Día de Los Muertos.

“In Mexico, it’s a really big event and tradition for us,” she said.

“We want more people to have a part in what they consume,” Bill says.

“Without the amendment, though, many people wouldn’t know what that’s like.” * * *

* * * In the summer, Bill and dozens of other Columbus residents took their case to the city council.

“The concerns were made clear on both sides,” said Tom Dell, city councilman. “People who are antichicken have concerns for health and diseases, noise complaints, smells and making sure the people who have chickens now wouldn’t encroach on the enjoyment of their neighbors.”

The council created a 10-member subcommittee. One of the pro-chicken members was Jill Sharp, the public housing manager in Columbus.

She had been one of the loudest voices at previous meetings, as one of the administrators of the “Urban

Chickens in Columbus, Indiana” Facebook page.

Jill and her husband Mike, 51, have five chickens.

They got the birds for their eggs and compost, but now they consider them part of the family just as much as the cats and dog.

Lemon, a large white Brahma, has feathers growing out across her feet. She scurries around the Sharps’ large backyard, clucking harshly.

She’s the leader of the flock, so her peers — Laverne, Shirley, Popeye and Ethel — are close behind.

As they snap up the scraps Jill and Mike leave out for them, they leave a trail of feathers behind. It’s molting season, so they’re unusually skittish and moody.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 whatever it is that warms your heart,” Graham said.

“I think before this, I don’t know how I would have defined beauty, but it would have been much more restrictive. So I think I learned through this is that you should not limit your own perception or others’ perceptions of beauty.”

Graham said accepting this new generalized definition of beauty may involve unlearning what society

Many other cities in Indiana, including Carmel, Zionsville, Fort Wayne, Evansville and Bloomington, have passed ordinances in favor of keeping chickens. Lebanon is currently reviewing its city code.

The four ISA Browns continue to poke around in Bill’s backyard. Their lives revolve around searching for and devouring food, and since they’re not picky, it’s a constant positive feedback loop.

“We feed them scraps, leftovers, cooked eggs, whatever we’ve got,” Bill laughs. “We don’t feed them chicken, though. That just feels wrong.”

Although the scope of their activism has grown, the families value their personal growth just as much, along with their expanding roles in the city’s decisionmaking.

Maneuvering a tricky system and pushing for policy reform can be frustrating, even with a light topic such as chicken keeping.

And after a long fight, the Porters and the Sharps can finally say they’ve won.

“It takes being resilient,” Bill says. “Yeah, resilient, just like our chickens.” and even your upbringing may have taught you.

“Oftentimes we need to unlearn these restrictions in gender and its relationship with beauty that society has taught us,” Graham said. “We have to continue to make strides and move further and further while challenging ourselves to question our own misconceptions about gender and beauty. Only then will we be able to pass this understanding on to our children and stop that vicious cycle of misconceptions.”

‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’ While the film doesn’t make any predictions, Ferris and co. do attend a game at Wrigley Field on their action-packed day off. Heeeeey Batter, batter, batter, batter, swing, batter!

‘Taking Care of Business’ Jim Belushi stars as a die-hard Cubs fan in this 1990 comedy of errors. He breaks out of prison in order to see his beloved Cubbies in the World Series, but he has some trouble actually getting to the game.

It all turns out well in the end, including a win for Chicago’s favorite underdogs.

‘Back to the Future Part II’ The 1989 classic predicted the Cubs would sweep the World Series in 2015, so they were in the ballpark, but not quite right. But what’s one year and a few games? Not bad for a prediction 27 years in the making.

‘Chicago Fire’ Like many shows set in Chicago, “Chicago Fire” couldn’t help but sneak in a reference to their cursed Cubs. In one episode, a confrontation occurs over whether including a goat in their logo will anger Chicago residents that still believe in the Curse of the Billy Goat that supposedly doomed the Cubs back in 1945.

‘Good Girls Revolt’ retells history ‘GOOD GIRLS REVOLT’ Genevieve Angelson, Anna Camp, Erin Darke

A There are some shows that amuse you, and there are shows that make you think. I love that I’m able to say that “Good Girls Revolt” does both.

Produced by Amazon after winning a viewers’ choice poll, “Good Girls Revolt” explores the hardships female journalists went through in the ‘60s.

The show tells a fictionalized version of an anti-discrimination lawsuit in which nearly 50 female employees of “Newsweek” filed against their bosses.

The lawsuit was documented in a book written by Lynn Povich called “The Good Girls Revolt: How the Women of Newsweek Sued their Bosses and Changed the Workplace.”

In the beginning of the pilot, we get a glimpse into how the “News of the Week” magazine — a play on “Newsweek” — works. Patti explains it to Nora, who has been recently hired.

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

“They are reporters, we are researchers,” she said. “We report, investigate and write files for the reporters. They do a pass on them, put their names on them and then the stories go to press.”

So, basically the women investigate and do all of the hard work, and the men get the byline. A matter of credibility, naturally.

The pilot centers around

the breaking news that a concert-goer was stabbed in California.

Patti had her first source refuse to go on record because she was a back-up singer and wasn’t “allowed to have her own voice.” So she flew to San Francisco to find another one, that was not only also a women, but also a penis sculpture artist.

Obviously the strict editor

didn’t consider her as a credible source either.

Patti, portrayed by Genevieve Angelson, is the hippie girl. She smokes weed, lives by herself and is in love with her job. Even if her boyfriend can’t deal with it, she does what she has to do because it’s her passion.

Jane, played Anna Camp, is the a know-your-place woman. She is ambitious,

but does whatever it takes to stand by her partner Sam. I hope that Camp’s character can learn to set herself free from the patriarchy and realize that she has much more to her life than to give her work away to a man.

Cindy, portrayed by Erin Darke, is a delightful character. After realizing that her husband had punctured a hole in her female condom,

she goes nuts thinking that she’s pregnant. Throughout the season, she takes important steps toward selfsexual discovery, like the hilarious scene when she talks to Patti about seeing her vagina in the mirror for the first time.

These three still have an awfully long way to go in terms of personal development, but it’s clear to see that they are going in the right direction.

I would finally like to say that we should thank people like Povich, who would turn out to be the first woman to be Senior Editor of “Newsweek.” They challenged expectations society had settled for them, and made possible for newsrooms all around to country to be filled with hard-working women.

I am proud to say that I am part of this story by working for a newspaper that has a majority of female editors and a female editor-in-chief.

Thank you, Amazon, for helping to bring this story to the public, and thank you Lynn Povich for making my dreams come true.

‘Lady Wood’ tries, fails to stimulate ‘LADY WOOD’ Tove Lo

CScandinavia is home to some of the greatest music in the world. Classic artists like ABBA and Björk have captivated us for decades, and contemporary artists like Miike Snow, Icona Pop and the Knife have more than proved themselves to be talented musicians.

Swedish singer and songwriter Tove Lo is not one of these artists.

In 2014, Lo released her

lackluster debut album “Queen of the Clouds” and along with it her biggest single “Talking Body,” unarguably the most annoying song to hit the radio since Cher Lloyd’s “Want U Back.”

Her sophomore LP “Lady Wood” only continues Lo’s saga of trying to become some sort of lame love child of Ellie Goulding and Lana Del Rey. Lo tries so hard on this record to sound “edgy” with lots of swearing, sexual imagery and drug content, but it’s simply too forced

and sounds amateur. Lo writes music from the mind, not from the heart.

This is most apparent in songs like “Cool Girl,” “Influence” and the title track, probably the worst tracks on the album.

This lack of soul reflects in the instrumentation, as well.

While this is a well-produced record, the drum machine and keyboards sounds too close to the first two Goulding albums for originality.

Until “Vibes,” the sixth track on this LP, begins playing, there seems to be too much dance and too little

soul on this record that seems to be trying very hard to be inspiring but fails miserably.

Lo also said in an interview with Rolling Stone that “Lady Wood” is intended to be a sexually liberating album for women, despite the fact that its sexual songs are about as stimulating as a Vanilla Ice song.

For example, despite what you may think, the term “lady wood” is actually supposed to sound sexy and not gut-busting hysterical.

Saying “Give me lady wood” surprisingly doesn’t increase

a person’s chances of trying to turn you on.

Speaking of pathetic means of turning you on, both Wiz Khalifa and Joe Janiak are technically featured on this LP. But their appearances are so brief that you could easily miss them.

What little time they were given, however, showed up everything else you will hear on this album.

Regardless, not every track on this record is terrible.

“Imaginary Friend,” a selfpep-talk for Lo to help fight her personal demons and doubts, is certainly the best

track on “Lady Wood.”

“Keep It Simple” and “Flashes” also do pretty decent jobs of conveying the message that neither fame nor sex are essential with healthy and happy relationships.

If only Lo could learn herself that copying other artists is not essential for making semi-decent music.

Perhaps then she can join her Nordic brothers and sisters as truly one of the greats.

Exploring art

Final First Thursdays Festival to include crafts, politics, beauty

By Sanya Ali | siali@indiana.edu | @siali13

First Thursdays have offered the art and cultural hubs of IU’s campus the opportunity to participate in special programs throughout the semester, often after traditional hours.

The final First Thursdays Festival of the semester, presented by Arts & Humanities at IU, will take place starting at 5 p.m. Thursday on the Fine Arts Plaza, near Showalter Fountain.

November’s event is slated to include a 40-member preview of “Jesus Christ Superstar,” a Silent Disco hosted by the Music Industry Networking Club, a campus ghost story session by The Department of Folklore and Ethnomusicology and much more courtesy of venues such as the Eske-

nazi Museum of Art and the Mathers Museum of World Cultures.

Laura Scheper, manager of special programs and events at the Eskenazi, said it has been exciting to see the event expand so much over the course of the semester.

“It’s been rewarding just to see it blossom and grow and to see the way that it’s drawing in so many more people to experience arts in general across IU,” Scheper said. “It’s also been well executed. Just talking to people I meet out in the community, they tell me they experienced various elements of art and tried new things.”

The Eskenazi Museum of Art’s variety of pro-

gramming this month will include collaboration with the Graphic Design Club. Attendees will have the opportunity to design their own election buttons, with assistance from the club, either free form or with the templates provided, Scheper said.

The museum will also have a gallery-side chat on the art of politics, live political poetry read by members of the Writer’s Guild of Bloomington in the gallery and a political poetry mash-up in the atrium, during which participants can try their hand at their own political poems.

THE FAULDS IN OUR STARS

Amy Schumer’s remake of “Formation” is tasteless, offensive Six months after its release, Beyoncé’s “Lemonade” still reigns as one of the greatest masterpieces and most important pop musical artworks of the last 20 years. Without a doubt, it is the best produced album of 2016.

It was exactly what an album should be — not a bland playlist with a random mix of tracks, but an artistic and cultural experience, each song flowing in and out of each other like a kaleidoscopic view of our society.

While I myself am not a member of the black community, I do recognize as much as I can the gravity and devotion many of its members hold for both Beyoncé and this record.

It was an album that in a lot of ways spoke exclusively to them and helped empower them.

Apparently, Amy Schumer didn’t get the memo.

On Oct. 21, Schumer posted a video to Tidal featuring her, Goldie Hawn, Joan Cusack and Wanda Sykes recreating the popular music video to Beyoncé’s “Formation,” a track on “Lemonade.”

While the video did have women of color participating, it was very clear this anthem for black women was whitewashed and almost seemed mocking of their culture.

Of course, women of color and the Twitter community at large backlashed hard, starting the hashtag “#AmySchumerGottaGoParty.” “#FormationParody is a garbage piece of ‘comedy’ done by a garbage comedienne, ‘sometimes feminist’ Amy Schumer #AmySchumerGottaGoParty,” one tweeter said.

“Amy Schumer is a talentless joke thief. She’s made her career off of stealing from other people. #amyschumergottagoparty,” another tweeter said.

Last Friday, Schumer posted an essay on Medium defending her video and emphasizing her love for both Beyoncé and “Lemonade.”

“I love how in the lyrics of ‘Formation’ Beyoncé is telling us to get in formation,” Schumer said in the essay. “And also I like to think she is telling us ladies to get information.”

How could she possibly watch a nearly five-minute video full of black women with lyrics like “My daddy Alabama, momma Louisiana / You mix that negro with that Creole, make a Texas bama” and think it was about her?

The worst part about the whole essay is Schumer never once apologizes for how her video affected others. She didn’t seem to even care.

But this is nothing new.

In Schumerland, everything is about her, and all jokes on race are fair play. In her stand-up act, she has made fun of black names and how “crazy” Latina women are.

“Nothing works 100 percent of the time, except Mexicans,” Schumer said during one of her routines.

She also insisted that she “understands” racism simply because she saw the movie “Jungle Fever.”

You know, because white privilege.

It’s female comics like her that give a bad name to all of them and really pushes back women’s rights a couple of movements.

To be fair, I do personally enjoy some of Schum-

er’s comedy. But I do agree Schumer’s stand-up depends way too heavily on the detriment of others, especially women of color.

If the video isn’t bad enough, remember that JayZ owns a portion of Tidal, and Schumer wrote in the essay both he and Beyoncé approved of the video before it was released.

They didn’t just greenlight Schumer’s racism, but probably capitalized on it.

Because of this, I’m actually more upset with how Beyoncé fans are allowing their “Queen Bey” off the hook for this and instead deciding to attack Schumer with all their force.

Also, despite the numerous hashtags telling her otherwise, Schumer made clear in her essay she has no plans on leaving the comedy world anytime soon.

“My mission is to continue to work as hard as I can to empower women and make them laugh and feel better and I won’t let anything stop me,” Schumer said.

Not even your own stupidity, I guess.

Tribe member to discuss cultural issues through art From IDS reports

Tewa Tribe member Nora Naranjo Morse will speak about Pueblo Indian culture with students today at 12:30 p.m. in the First Nations Educational and Cultural Center,

according to a press release from the Hutton Honors College.

The event will provide lunch for interested students and is co-sponsored by the First Nations Educational and Cultural Center and the Cre-

ative Writing Program.

As a Native American potter, installation artist, poet and filmmaker, Morse will discuss the ways her art explores the social and environmental issues of her culture.

Specifically, the discus-

sion will focus on questions of sustainability and Pueblo values.

According to the release, most of her works are on display around New Mexico, where the Tewa Tribe is based. Morse’s most famous

works include large earthworks, towers made of clay and straw and a long clay rope that runs across Santa Fe streets.

She usually works with clay and organic materials, and she has been trained in

the Pueblo clay work tradition of the Southwest.

Additionally, her art is featured at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian.

KINSEY CONFIDENTIAL

Can you get pregnant from taking a bath after sex?

I had sex with my girlfriend, and I came on her breasts ... and cleaned it with a towel. If she takes a bath later on that same night, can she get pregnant from the sperm being in the water, even if my penis

never even touched her vagina?

You and your girlfriend will not become pregnant from a few errant sperm possibly floating in the bathtub hours after having sex.

Sperm cannot live for

long outside the human body. However, if you two are not ready to have a pregnancy right now, then I recommend either abstaining from sexual activity that may possibly lead to intercourse, or at least considering effective

birth control, just in case you two end up deciding to have intercourse.

Oftentimes, people go a little farther than they planned to, sexually, and that can lead to some anxiety and, at times, pregnancy

risk. You can learn more about birth control options at plannedparenthood.com.

Kinsey Confidential is a collaboration of the IU School of Public Health and The Kinsey Institute. Debby Herbenick is an associate

professor at IU and author of six books about sex including “The Coregasm Workout” and “Sex Made Easy.” Visit us at www.kinseyconfidential. org and follow us on Twitter at @DebbyHerbenick and @ KinseyCon.

W | PASTERNACK ON THE PAST Once a week, Jesse Pasternack reviews a film made before 1980, hoping to expose readers to classics they might not normally watch.

‘The Great McGinty’ is still relevant “The Great McGinty” is a classic American comedy about politics that was released in 1940. It kicked off the career of writerdirector Preston Sturges as a distinctive and hilarious filmmaker.

This movie remains a witty and incisive look at political corruption, and the battle between idealists and people who want to make a fast buck.

This film starts in an unnamed Latin American country. After saving the life of a suicidal man, bartender Daniel McGinty tells him about his life in politics.

McGinty rose from poverty to become the governor of a state, only to lose it all when he decided to use his power for good.

This movie captures a sense of cynicism about politics, but it does so with a jaunty energy. McGinty began working for a political machine by voting 37 times in an election.

The music for this sequence is not mournful, but is instead lively and makes the montage interesting to watch.

It’s one of the most relevant sequences in the film, which reflects Donald Trump’s claims that the current presidential election is “rigged.”

Preston Sturges had been a screenwriter before he made this film. He wrote

he also demonstrates a talent for writing dramatic scenes, like when McGinty tells his mentor that he will no longer aid in his corrupt schemes. These variations in tone help make “The Great McGinty” more memorable than the average farce.

The performances in this film are excellent. Brian Donlevy gets to show his versatility as McGinty. He gives him a hard edge for more dramatic scenes, yet he also gets to show vulnerability in scenes with his wife.

Akim Tamiroff gives a very funny performance as McGinty’s mentor, known only as “the Boss.” He can get great laughs from a long pause or a funny look.

Tamiroff has one of my favorite line readings in the film, after McGinty has asked him how he can offer him the chance to run for mayor on the Reform Party ticket. The Boss responds, “In this town, I’m all the parties!”

“The Great McGinty” is not perfect. For example, its few black characters are stereotypical servants. But it is still a funny and sharp look at political corruption. It is an excellent watch if you like older films and politics.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9 Museum of World Cultures, said the highlights of Mathers’ First Thursdays Festival involvement has been the opportunity to allow Indiana artisans to share their crafts with attendees.

Each month, the museum has held demonstrations on the plaza, some of which were interactive, Kirk said.

This month, the artisans will demonstrate making musical instruments, such as guitars or other distinct string instruments, and allow participants to try their hand at crafting these.

“In October, we had limestone carvers who were demonstrating different techniques,” Kirk said. “One of them was sort of giving people a chance to try their hand at limestone carving, which is an important tradition within our community. We’re built on limestone carving tradition.”

Along with these demonstrations, Mathers offers an after-hours film screening each First Thursday. This month’s film is “Miss Navajo,” presented in conjunction with Themester: Beauty and follows one woman’s experience in the Miss Navajo cultural pageant.

“It’s a pageant that centers around tradition and Navajo values — it is focusing on more than female beauty,” Kirk said. “The theme of Themester this year is beauty, and this is another way of thinking of beauty, the beauty of tradition, the beauty of

one’s culture and cultural values.”

First Thursdays have allowed for a variety of groups to share the stage and show students and community members how much exists within the arts and humanities.

“It’s been a very positive thing — we’ve been down there with Wylie, Grunwald

and the Art Museum and of course the performing groups,” Kirk said. “Everyone coming together in one place is rejuvenating, a great celebration of the enormous variety of arts and cultural offerings on this campus.”

Ed Comentale, associate vice provost for the arts and humanities, said some of the highlights of this inaugural

semester have ranged from watching students observing a potter at the wheel to asking big questions at the philosophy booth.

“Then there’s just watching the crowd — those are the moments that really keep us going,” Comentale said. “I remember watching a high school student taping the performance by Brenda’s Friend

with her phone and then a couple of kids picking out buttons at the Library booth.

To me, those are the really inspirational moments.”

Comentale said this event has established a great precedent for collaboration between these groups on campus and will continue to be a tradition after this year as well.

“It’s the first time we’ve seen all of the arts and culture organizations working together to create a stronger and deeper sense of community,” Comentale said. “It draws students, professors and staff members from all different backgrounds, as well as neighbors and families and other community groups from town.”

The Pop Group releases sci-fi lullaby ‘HONEYMOON ON MARS’ The Pop Group

BWith the fall of the punk movement in the late 1970s, a new movement called post-punk rose from the ashes, blending elements from punk and the rising new wave movement.

One of the bands at the frontline of this movement was the Pop Group. Their

debut album “Y” showed great potential from the group to become one of the best bands of this brief era.

Unfortunately, the band broke up in 1981 and didn’t reunite for almost 30 years.

“Honeymoon on Mars” is the second LP from the Pop Group since their reformation, and it only proves that some classic bands just aren’t meant to stay together forever.

A science-fiction concept album, this record delves

deeply into the avantgarde and experimental in terms of its production and instrumentation. And, for the most part, it sounds great.

Hank Shocklee, member of hip-hop production team the Bomb Squad and producer of this album, finds some inventive uses with bass, orchestration and even EDM in order to make “Honeymoon on Mars” truly sound more different than any other post-punk album.

However, when compared to other sci-fi records like the Misfits’ “Walk Among Us” or the Mars Volta’s “De-Loused in the Comatorium,” this LP falls flat in both creativity and listenability.

The Pop Group seemed to be so focused on presenting a “unique” album that they forgot to supply its audience with any sense of variety. Every single track on this record sounds like it followed the same blueprint

with little-to-no deviation — repeated phrases, spokenword verses and enough unnecessary noise and distortion to make Rick Rubin jealous.

The themes of “Honeymoon on Mars” are nothing new. Alienation, anti-war and anti-capitalism have been at the foreground of punk since its conception.

While groups like the Clash and Dead Kennedys explored these ideas in depth, the Pop Group merely

traces their finger across the surface.

In many ways, this album could work well as the soundtrack of some lowbudget horror movie. If the Pop Group plays their cards right, they could very well be the next Goblin. Both groups work better as background noise than those worthy of serious musical analysis.
