With temperatures in the mid 60s, a sun high in the sky and plenty of open grass to lay a blanket on, IU students and Bloomington locals alike gathered for an afternoon of music that stretched into the evening. WIUX, with support from Union Board, hosted the 2015 Culture Shock music festival from 1 to 10 p.m. Saturday in Dunn Meadow. The event featured live music from local and national acts. A number of local vendors were also present. A semicircle of vendor booths set up in the western section of Dunn Meadow by Indiana Avenue faced the stage and created an enclosed area for spectators to mill about. Some tried their luck at walking across a slackline set up by one festival-goer, others danced with hula hoops spinning around their waists and more napped or talked on blankets spread throughout the meadow. Over 1,200 people are estimated to have attended Culture Shock throughout the day, WIUX Special Events Co-Director Brendan Biesen said. After more than a year of planning, he said it’s incredible to see everything come together. Darlan Farias and Carolina Vega, exchange students from Brazil, said they came to the festival to meet up with a friend. Farias said he thinks the festival is a great place to have fun and meet new people. “I think it’s pretty cool because you can see other people and other cultures,” Vega said.

IU completes sweep of Rutgers with 5-4 win GAME 1

By Michael Hughes michhugh@indiana.edu | @MichaelHughes94

Good pitching and timely hitting can solve a lot of problems. For IU, they helped end a stretch in which the Hoosiers lost six of their last eight games. It helped IU sweep Rutgers at Bart Kaufman Field, with the Hoosiers winning two games 5-4 and one 6-0. “We knew we had to come out with intensity and play our best game,” senior infielder Casey Rodrigue said. IU got good starts from all three of its starting pitchers this weekend. Friday, junior starting pitcher Caleb Baragar pitched six innings and allowed two runs. Saturday, sophomore starting pitcher Jake Kelzer pitched eight scoreless innings. Sunday, junior starting pitcher Christian Morris pitched four scoreless innings. But unlike Baragar and Kelzer, Morris wasn’t supposed to start. The original starting pitcher was junior Scott Effross, but that changed 15 minutes before the game. “He didn’t even have his shoes on,” IU Coach Chris Lemonis said.

He allowed a Scarlet Knight to reach second base in each of the four innings Morris pitched. In three of the four innings, he allowed a runner to reach third. “I knew it was going to be a

The orange juice on South Walnut Street became less freshly squeezed. Wee Willie’s, the 48-year-old breakfast and lunch restaurant on Bloomington’s south side, has permanently closed its doors after its manager, Roy Wathen, died April 5. Wathen, 56, was the manager of the restaurant for 36 years. “We’re not ready to start over,” said Brenda Lutgens, owner of Wee Willie’s and Wathen’s sister. “My brother knew how to do everything.” Wathen’s sudden death Easter morning has no confirmed cause. Lutgens said she and her husband Bill have been contemplating retirement for a while, but she did not want that to come under these circumstances. “The students and Bloomington clientele have been so good to us,” she said. “It’s going to be tough.” The cash-only, unmarked estabSEE CLOSING, PAGE 6
